Anime walked back to the house in deep thought thinking
about how Will came back. She just couldn't figure it out at all. Or why he
attacked Masukee but she guessed that it was a warning to get away from them
or else he'd hurt them and that she just couldn't bare it. When she got back to
the house she saw Masukee on the couch and asked "how is she?"
Renji calmly said "she's fine she just needs rest is all but she keeps mumbling something
about a general that attacked her village in her sleep." Anime looked away and
said "I see... it must be a bad dream... I'll go make her some tea, it should
calm her down..." Than Anime left the room and Renji thought 'what's wrong
with Anime? She's acting as if she knows who this general is.' Than Masukee
woke up and asked "where am I?" Renji calmly said with a smile "you're at
Anime's she found you and brought you here. I'm Renji it's nice to meet you!"
Masukee was about to say something until she saw Anime come in and her skin
turned pale.
She pointed a finger at Anime and was full of fear. Renji asked
"Masukee what's wrong?" Masukee said "it's her! The one who attacked my
village!" Renji looked at Anime and asked "what is she talking about Anime?"
Anime turned away and lied "I don't know maybe it was someone who looked like
me that attacked her village. Cause I don't ever remember attacking it."
Masukee yelled "No I know it was you! I remember those eyes very well! You're
the one who attacked my village!! Isn't that right, General Anime!" Renji
turned to Anime and asked "is she speaking the truth Anime?" Anime turned
around and sadly said "yes... I was a general not long ago... I gave that up a
few months ago... I did somethings in my life I'm not proud of, and I regret
doing all of the things that I've done... I'm sorry Masukee-chan I didn't mean
to attack your village my mind was under someone's control so I didn't mean
too..."
Renji could hear the sadness in Anime's voice and said "Masukee can you
really stay mad at Anime? She really didn't mean to do what ever she did. She
is really sorry for what ever she did." Masukee saw Anime turn to face her and
thought 'those eyes... Those aren't the same eyes I saw all those years ago...
General Anime at that time had the eyes of a killer... Someone who enjoyed to
kill the thrill of battle... But her, she seems to detests fighting and only
chooses to protect people... There's just no way that they could be the same
person! Could they?'
She then said, "alright I forgive you, Anime-chan." Anime
looked at Masukee with a smile and said "thank you, Masukee-chan!"
Months later...
Anime is walking around town trying to find some things for everyone.
Ryu wanted some magic scrolls. Renji wanted some tea and Masukee, for some
reason wanted sword polish. As for Anime she was just getting some things for
dinner. But she still had what will said on her mind. He attacked Masukee
months ago and hasn't come back since then.
She guessed that maybe he decided to not come back and find someone else to fight instead. After she got what
she wanted and paid for it she walked back to the house. After she walked in
the house she noticed that it was dark out and decided to head to the springs.
She gave everyone their things and went to her room and changed into a swim
suit.
Walking out of the house and going to the springs. Once she got to the
springs she walked in and started to relax.
Now with Ryu:
"Man what a wonderful
night for a full moon walk. And on my birthday too!" Said a very happy Ryu. He
was happily walking through the forest thinking about all of the birthdays
he's had alone... But this time he wasn't alone, he had friends to spend it
with. After awhile he heard something and walked toward it wondering who or
what it could be.
With Renji:
Renji is sitting on the couch in a deep trance
talking to someone deep within her own soul.
Deep within Renji's soul:
Renji is wondering around calling out "James? James where are you?!" Than a man
appeared before Renji. He was tall and had short dirty blond hair.
And he said "hello Renji. It's good to hear from you
again." Renji nodded with a huge smile on her face and said "I'm glad to see
you again James... I missed you. Can you tell me something... For a while now
Anime's been hiding something. But I don't know what it is can you tell
me?"
James nodded and said "well, after you left the forest with that girl
Masukee, Anime stayed behind and had a little chat with a dragon demon that
just so happened to have attacked Masukee. He challenged her to a battle, but
so far he hasn't appeared for some reason. I don't know why he'd want to fight
her, but I'm sure that we'll find out soon enough."
Renji nodded as she said
"thanks James. But the real question is, does this have anything to do with
Anime being a general or did this battle happen after she quit being a
general?" James shook his head saying with a calm tone "I'm not sure, but I'm
sure that we'll find it out soon enough." Renji nodded and said "well what
ever he wants with her I'll make sure that it never happens!"
Now with Masukee:
"Why do they trust me already? I haven't even known them long and they
trust me completely... This makes no sense at all." Said a very confused
Masukee. She was polishing her sword while she was in deep thought. Thinking
about the time that she first got this sword from the very man she killed. She
calmly said "Falcon... I know I killed you, but for some reason it feels like
your still alive somewhere but where?" Sighing to herself she put her sword
polish away and went for a walk outside to clear her thoughts.
Back with Anime:
Anime was happily in the springs and singing a song in to support her
happy mood.
"Kimi no te de kirisaite Tooi hi no kioku wo
Kanashimi no iki no ne wo tometekure yo
Saa Ai ni kogareta mune wo tsuranuke
Asu ga kuru hazu no sora wo mite Mayou bakari no kokoro moteamashiteru

After singing that song she grabbed
her towel and wrapped it around her waist and started to walk back to the
house. But on her way back she saw Ryu walking toward her. But he stopped
about a few meters away from her. She calmly said with a smile "hello Ryu-kun,
having a moonlight walk?" He nodded and said "uh, yeah... I thought I'd take a
walk, 'cause it's a beautiful night." Anime smiled as she said "yeah it is...
I love nights like this it just brings the beauty out in the world, don't you
think?" He nodded with a big blush on his face as he looked at Anime, noticing
she was still in her swim suit.
Ryu softly said "Anime... un..." She looked at
Ryu and asked "what's the matter, Ryu-kun? Your face is all red..." He suddenly
pounced at Anime, pinning her to the ground. Anime was shocked and asked
"Ryu-kun, what the hell are you doing?! Get off of me!" Ryu chuckled
sinisterly. "I don't think so!" he said, as he leaned closer to her face.
Anime slapped him and pulled free, running for dear life. Ryu smirked. "now,
now..." he said, standing. "that wasn't very nice, Anime-chan." He charged at
her again, at full speed.
Anime was scared out of her mind. She kept running,
until she tripped and started to roll down the hill. Anime rolled for seemed
like hours, until she finally hit the ground. She hit it hard, but when she
tripped, she hurt her ankle. Now she couldn't walk. She could hear Ryu coming,
and the thought made her scared for her life. She heard his voice. "oh
Anime! " he called out, "where'd you go?!" Anime's fear doubled and she
tried to limp away, but her ankle hurt too much for her to get far. Soon, Ryu
caught up with her and pinned her down again, saying "that wasn't very nice,
Anime-chan! This time, you won't get away."
He started to kiss her neck, and
Anime started to cry from fear and pain. Suddenly, a voice yelled out, "get
off of her!" Masukee had shown up and kicked Ryu off of Anime. Masukee asked
"you alright, Anime-chan?" Anime sat up and was shaking with fear as she said
"I'm fine... I was just walking back, when I saw Ryu walking through the
forest. And out of the blue, he jumped on me... I got away, until I fell and
started to roll down the hill and hurt my ankle. And that's when he jumped me
again." Masukee looked back at the neko demon and said "why would you do that,
Ryu?!" Ryu smirked as he said "now Masukee, why did you have to ruin my fun?"
Masukee was slightly irritated as she said "because you were trying to rape
Anime! How did you think she'd feel about this!?" Ryu looked at Anime and said
ferrelly, "I don't care!"
With that, he started to charge at her again. That
is, until Anime made her keyblade appear and whacked him on the head, knocking
him out. Masukee calmly asked "how come you didn't think of that sooner?" "Hey,
when your about to be raped, you can't think straight because of fear,
alright?" said a unaturally calm Anime. Masukee asked "how can you be so calm,
Anime!? You almost got raped, for crying out loud!" Anime looked away and said
"after all the things I've seen, Masukee-chan, I can't help but to stay calm.
Sure, I was scared out of my life, but now that it's over, I just can't help
but to be calm. You should understand all of that, since your village was one
of my targets when I was a general..."
Masukee nodded and put Ryu's arm over
her shoulders and asked "how are you going to get back, Anime?" Anime pushed a
spot in her leg and stood up while saying "you're forgetting I know everything
about pressure points. I just had to push the one in my leg, so I can walk
until we get back to the house." Masukee nodded and they all walked back to
the house in silence.Once they returned to the house, they put Ryu on the
couch and let him sleep. Renji asked "what happened to him?" Masukee waited
until Anime left and said "Ryu tried to rape Anime." Renji yelled "what! He
tried to rape her?! Why?" Masukee shrugged as she said "how am I suppose to
know? Anime said that she was walking home until Ryu showed up. They talked
for a bit, then he jumped her." Renji angerly said "as soon as he wakes up,
he's dead!"
Anime was in her room in deep thought 'this is great... Now Will
really will show up as soon as he hears about my ankle being out.' Sighing to
herself she grabbed some medical wrap and tended to her ankle.Renji was in deep
thought until James entered her mind saying "Renji that dragon demon is on his
way here!" Renji nodded and said "Masukee you have to look after Ryu... That
demon is on his way here to attack Anime." Than Renji ran out of the house and
waited for Will to appear. Anime looked out the window wondering what was
going to happen now until she was brought out of her thoughts when she saw
Renji leaving the house and stop. It was as if she was waiting for
something... or someone.
Ryu was slowly opening his eyes and wondered how he
got back to the house and asked "what happened?" Masukee calmly said "don't
you remember, Ryu?" He started to think for a moment, then it hit him like a
ton of bricks. Ryu quietly said "I tried to rape Anime, didn't I?" She nodded
and said "yeah. She also hurt her ankle when she rolled down that hill too."
Ryu looked away and said "she'll never forgive me for doing that..." Masukee
calmly said "come on, after she knocked you out she was calm as can be. You
won't know if she will or not unless you ask." Ryu shook his head and said "no,
I know she won't forgive me..." Masukee sighed and said "give it time and she
will forgive you, alright?" He nodded and said "but... I have a feeling that
it will never happen at this point."
Masukee sighed until she felt a dark
aura coming and it was coming fast. Her and Ryu ran outside wondering what
the dark aura could be. They all saw a dragon demon and wondered why he was
here. Masukee said with rage "you're the one who attacked me in the forest!"
Will calmly said "yeah so what if I am. I'm here to fight Anime no one else!"
"You're going to fight me Will!" Said Jame's spirit. Will looked at Renji
and said "I see, so that girl has another soul within her. Who are you and how
do you know my name?" James calmly said "I know your name because I'm your
brother James!" Will started to smile as he said "so your soul was sent to this
girl huh? Well I'll enjoy killing you brother." Ryu asked "do you have any
idea what's going on Masukee?" She shook her head and said "this is bad what
are we going to do?" Ryu looked back at the battle and started to think of an
idea on how to stop this until there was a yell "FIRE DARTS!"
Than bolts of
fire hit Will in the chest and he fell backwards.Everyone looked at the one
who used that attack and when they did they were shocked. Standing there was
Anime wearing a black kimono with red flames on it. Also she had some strange
armor on her shoulders,arms, chest and legs. Ryu was shocked by this and said
"Anime? Is that you?" Anime looked at Ryu than back at Will and said "Will,
this fight is between you and me! Leave my friends out of this!" Will smirked
as he said "well looks like your wearing your old armor again. I thought that
you would never wear that ever again." Anime was full of rage and said "I'll
fight to protect! I won't be the one causing harm to good people anymore!
You'll die here today Will!" Than Anime made her fire sword and her keyblade
appear and charged at Will with rage.
Ryu was in so much shock Anime was
fighting twice as much than the last time he saw her fight. He knew that she
was madder than hell and stayed back. James was thinking on how Anime could
fight with her ankle out like that and thought 'strange... This girl had a
dark past and yet she tries to make up for that past by helping as many people
as she can is it because her time is limited?' Anime yelled out "FIRE OF THE
DRAGON!" Than she breathed fire and it hit Will dead on. But out of the flames
came Will with the biggest smirk possible and hit punched her in the gut.Anime
went flying a bit but landed on her feet saying "is that the best you got!"
Will smirked as he said "no this is! DRAGON BLADES OF DEATH!"
Than a bunch of
blades were heading toward Ryu, Renji and Masukee. Without thinking Anime ran
up to them and took the hit. Ryu was in shock seeing that Anime took the hit.
Masukee asked "Anime you ok?" Anime nodded and said "Will you coward!
Attacking my friends when you're suppose to be fighting me! You'll die!" Than
Anime charged at Will again. Ryu asked with fear "shouldn't we be helping
her?!" Masukee calmly said "we'll help her when she wants it or when she needs
it." Anime yelled "FIRE TORNADO!!" The attack hit Will but it didn't harm him as much.
He charged at Anime and punched her in the gut knocking all air out of her
lungs and she hit a rock and was barley awake. He picked Anime up by the collar
and said "so this is the great General Anime huh? You've gotten weak over the
last few months since our last battle. A demon who felt nothing but now you
have feelings and that's what made you so weak."
Than Will felt someone kick
his arm and Anime went flying. Ryu caught her and held her in his arms. Will
looked at the person who kicked his arm and saw Renji/James and said "why did
you interfear?" James/Renji said "we won't let you harm her! She saved our
lives and we'll repay her in anyway possible by saving her life!" Than
Renji/James made their lightning sword appear and they fought Will. Ryu held
Anime close and asked "Anime are you alright?" Anime looked at Ryu with half
open eyes and said with a smile "yeah... I'm alright..." Than she fainted and
Ryu calmly siad "Masukee! Grab a jar in my room with a dragon on it! Hurry!"
Than Masukee ran into the house and Ryu watched the fight while holding Anime.
James/Renji calmly said "you've gotten better Will... Who would have thought,
since you always hated to fight."
Will laughed as he said "well that was the
old me. The new me loves to fight and to see blood on the ground." Than Masukee
showed up and said "now what Ryu?" Ryu put Anime down next to a tree and
grabbed the jar. He walked up to Will and said "THIS IS FOR HARMING ANIME AND
EVERYONE ELSE!" Than he opened the jar and Will's very soul came out of his body and into the
jar, but before it did he used a strange attack and it hit Anime giving her a
huge shock.
When the attack hit her in the chest it made her scream out in
pain. Than Will's soul was inside the jar and Ryu placed a sutra on it to keep
him in there. James/Renji calmly said "Will... He was a kind person, but what
made him turn out like this?" Ryu gave the jar to Masukee and told her to
carry it back inside for him while he carried Anime in the house and placed
her on the couch, wondering if she'd be alright.
