The crimson butterfly and frozen beast
Chapter - 1
As the world stops for a moment a little girl looked into a clouded field. In the distance there were signs of a giant temple that was surrounded with statues of giant dogs. Nothing looked more secretive or inviting. She felt curious and a smile appeared on her pale lips. She skipped toward the temple with her tattered gray kimono.
The little girl stopped stepped forward. She watched as a purple layer appeared and burned the tips of her toes. She quickly stepped away and watched the thick layer of purple disappeared.
"This is what they call miasma," the girl whispered.
She forwarded herself an inch and the wall of purple appeared again. She heard something calling out from beyond the wall.
"M'lord, please wait for me."
The voice sounded pesky and annoying.
"I don't like this place anymore. I should go home," the girl said. Unfortunately, she spoke too loud.
A black shape formed from the hazy purple in the shape of what seemed to be a normal human being. This being began to walk forward to where the girl was standing. The girl began to run, but as she ran the being began to walk faster to match her speed. As the girl ran faster, the being would begin to catch up to her.
'I can't give up. I sense something bad. I have to get away...' The girl thought, 'Somebody please help me.'
The girl ran as fast as she could. When the girl met a dead end of surrounding trees, she was caught by this being. It grabbed her and dropped her fast to the ground. The being got on top of her and drew an object out of its finger. It was about to whip her, but this being suddenly stopped when it saw the girl from the haze.
She could see who it was now in a stunned form.
'It's a man...'
She stared at him and sifted through his facial features and beyond. He had scars on each side of his face in the exact same shape of spikes or something close to a sharp cut of a claw. The crescent moon on his forehead gave him the look of regal stature.
'He is...beautiful'
The man finally stepped out of shock and back into the present with the girl under him. He never knew that a human girl could make him stop his actions with a single look of fear. Even though he was shocked, he saw the girl probing his features. He couldn't help but chuckle. He understood that this girl did not know who he was. He got off the girl and returned his spirit whip back into his fingers.
"Get up," the man said to the girl.
The girl got up and inched only a little closer to him.
"Who are you?" The man said with a monotone voice.
The girl looked as though she were giving a routine introduction by giving a wide smile and waving at him.
"I am Rin Kurosawa, nice to meet you."
