The Broken Blade. Blood Strikes.
I believe again, that even if life and
The Earth are totally burned out...
Birth happens so often, but life is my meaning,
I've discovered.

Opening Song
Last Time
Wolf waved, heading for the door and slipping her shoes on. Kagome waved back. Looking at the man she asked " So what do you see Kazuya?"
Kazuya looked up, writing down " She has had a harsh life, that scar is proof enough. Her eyes hold so much back, her own soul is weeping out. At the same, a kind heart bleeds for the anguish of the world and its state. Still…she holds darkness. A vertices fighting soul…"
Kagome nodded, knowing the same thing. Wolf needed time to heal; yet she worried what would happen if the seal on the girl's heart broke in battle…
Grey once again, Wolf signed. Kenshin was still gone… Kaoru
Was pacing once again, and the raccoons temper was shorter then ever. Making dinner more of a battle filed for the rest of the resents of the dojo.
Still, Wolf kept getting a bad feeling about the day. Her senses where on a natural high. Yahiko could tell something was up with the teen, she wasn't even paying attain to what he said at all. She still was on a short leash from her wound by the vixen. Luckily it was healing very well, not a scar would be left on the girl this time.
Winter was in the air, frost had appeared on the planets. She looked up from her book once again. Yahiko was cleaning the floor, and Kaoru
Was yelling from all the smoke n the kitchen. Wolf signed, yep just a normal day at the dojo for them. Yahiko looked back at the kitchen, his face turning a slight blue at the idea of what might come from such a place of horrors!
"I say we sneak to the beef-pot Wolf!" he whispered harshly. "Or we might not live to see Kenshin!"
She looked up from her book, looking back to the kitchen then to Yahiko, nodding her agreement. Slipping on her shoes, the boy and teen started to sneak to the front gate…
"Where are you two going?" a voice said deadly "Your not sneaking off to the beef-pot you two are yoooouuuuuu?"
Wolf turned to see a raccoon girl, holding a very large knife, Hellish fires burned in her eyes. An eye brow twitched in anger at the two. Yahiko twitched in fear; the raccoon was out to kill this time! Wolf took her chance, grabbing the boy by his shirt and jumping on top of the roof.
"Sorry K, but we want to live to see the next day." Wolf smiled
Kaoru stood a little dumb founded, wavering her arms wildly "You two get back here! NOW!"
Wolf waved a good-bye, jumping to the road and running off with a flaring Yahiko behind her. Kaoru stood, tears running down her face muttering "How could they so mean to me? Kenshin where are you!"
Tea saw the pair walking into the front, she smiled... Kaoru was cooking again. And from the look of Yahiko's face, she could guess at what happened to the teen and boy.
"Wolf, Yahiko, there's some food in back if you want it?" she smiled
Yahiko took off running to the kitchen, food! Wolf let a loose laugh, shaking her head at the boy's bottomless stomach. Tea saw the girl was more relaxed today
"You seem in a good mood today Wolf." She asked, studying the young girl.
Wolf nodded the smile in place "Ya, picking on the raccoon girl are a fun and dangerous game to us. Also, she's worried about Kenshin, making her food even worse. A simple mind cans only forces on one thing at a time Tea!"
She laughed the teen being right about these things. "Well I better gat back to work now, so go eat and see you in the afternoon tomorrow. With the festal coming up and all, we are booming!"
Wolf smiled, heading for the back. Yahiko was on the floor. His gut sticking out from his shirt and pants. The teen shook her head once again. Never over eat on an empty tank. Still, her eyes narrowed, she felt something heavy in the air all day. Like the dojo was being watched by something. Wolf touched her swords handle. She was carrying it more and more these past days. A chilled wind touched the body of the woman. Moving her hair in the breeze.
Yahiko woke up, seeing the serious look on the teen. Her left hand gripped the sword.
"She looks like Kenshin with that expression. Something is on her mind that is wrong." He thought
" Wolf, what's wrong? You've been in an off mood all day. Hell, your acting like Kenshin does!" he asked, sitting up.
Wolf's blue eyes locked with the young man, then outside. Yahiko saw the flash of a sword in those eyes, making him shiver a little. Yes, she was acting like Kenshin. Only female and a little scrams.
"All day, I keep getting this feeling we are being watched pup. And I can't put my fucking finger on it." Her tone flat in answer.
Yahiko blinked, never have seeing the teen so serious. This kind of Wolf was scary, even more so then Kaoru cooking was today. He sat up, studying the girl even more. Wolf had changed in the three weeks. Her hair was longer, and back in a loose pony tail. Red, yet more crimson then Kenshin's hair, and silver highlights sat on the tips of the teen's hair. He wondered how her hair was silver now. She had more of shape to her face and not the sharpness of early. Good food will do that one might say. Wolf still had muscle, and the strength to back up any words. Yet, her body was taking on a more female shape then before as well. She was like a female version of Kenshin, only more badass and a punk like style to her cloths. Also taller…which Wolf loved to rub in to the man's.
"Yahhhhhhhhiiikkkoooo, time to wake up and stop staring at my boob's kid." Wolf shot out.
He blinked, a red blushing covering his cheeks to his ears. Yahiko turned on his heel, Wolf laughed. "Man, this kid is one peace of work!" she thought, laughing.
"Lets head back home for now, I am sure K is not so vengeful now. If we bring her back a sweet." She said
Yahiko nodded, fallowing the teen out with a wave to Tea. Thunder boomed from the sea not far from shore. Many a people hurried home to get out of coming storm. Wolf stopped walking, her eyes on clouds. Reflecting the light back for a moment. "Wolf, we should get back." Yahiko echoed out
"I know runt, just thinking." She replied. Wolf once again started to walk. Yahiko got the message of not to speak from her silently. Blue eyes traveled to the shadows, looking for something. What was wrong?
When entering a dojo, the pair had to hit the ground to avoid a log. Kaoru was mad, and very scary. Wolf grabbed Yahiko, using the boy as shield as other objects flew to the teen. By the end of the battle, Yahiko was bleeding and out. Kaoru was worn out, and Wolf stood could walk away. Lighting cracked the air, sending all three running to the house before it poured from the heavens.
Wolf shook out her hair saying "Well, how about some warm tea."
"Fine, but you two are not off the hook for running away!" Kauro said, pointing at the teen. "So get ready to clean your hands to bone tomorrow Wolf!"
Wolf nodded, walking to the Kitchen. Unknown to the teen, three shadows sat on the roof. Anthers pulled out a blow dart, and take a deep breath, shot the woman and boy in the neck. Kaoru went to yell, but her body grew numb. Darkness begins to devour her vision. Yahiko twitch, filing a fear and yelling out in pain.
The teen felt it, four energies…very sinister and twisted! Spinning her heeling, she ran to the others. A sharp poke hit her in neck, she stopped. Pulling a needle from the base of her neck. "Its Drugged!" she thoughts, her own body giving into the drug in her blood. "Yahiko..Kaour!" her thoughts drift, stumbling to the earth and the rain. Falling to her knees. Her darkening visions let her see the two being dragged outside, Yahiko was crying and shivering. Kaoru screaming Kenshin's name, scrap something.
A white cloud of some kind came from one of the forms of the men, a gas. Letting the drug take a strong grip on the minds. Wolf held her breath, her own body giving in to the poison. Spots flew in her mind, waves and rain melted….. She could do noting. save one thing maybe. Pure terror racked the teen, Kaoru and Yahiko where in trouble, but the poison in their systems and that odd gas kept them in a dissolution state of fear. Wolf struggled to keep awake in the drug and darkness.
She held onto her mind for a moment longer, reaching into her jeans and pulling out a little jack knife. Wolf held her breath, stabbing the knife right throw her left hand. Using the pain to break the hold of the drug in her mind... Yet body was weakening. These men watched, dead eyes locked on the older woman and child, the gleeful shine of steel reflected in the deadness
"I have to do something! Please Kami, help me to save them at any cost!" she screamed in her mind. Then she felt that madness blooming in her soul. Wolf made the choice, letting go of her sanity. Falling into the darkness of her self.
One of men, turned to look at the fallen red head, sneering. His white eyes fell to the young woman. Her shirt had slipped opened, leavening the tender white flesh of her bosoms. Images of the youthful skin covered in blood, made the man shiver with lust. The other three too picked up on the idea.
"I say we kill the child and have some fun. Leave the mess for the Battousai to come upon.' One crocked out, wetting his lips under the mask.
A boot shot out, kicking Yahiko in his side. Groaning of pain and fear came from the lips of the boy. Hyena like laughter came from the men. One reached down, touching the twitching woman, his eyes traveling over her body.
"Lay one hand on her again, you won't have it." Someone spoke
The man turned around, his dead eyes growing winder. That girl was up and standing
"How can she still be awake? Our gas and posing can being down a sumo!" his eyes narrowed, seeing his company having the same reaction.
Blood turned her gaze to Kaoru and Yahiko, her anger growing even more. "How dare they touch and hurt them!" her thoughts drifted. Amber sparks danced in her eyes, looking at the men. Her hand pulled out the broken blade on her side. Black metal almost cruel looking in the cool light.
"Your lives are mine assholes…" her voice echoed the ringing of the blade.
Laughter tore from the men's thorts. How was one little girl going to stop them, or even have a change against the Oni Order? Her answer was one thing to such a question…
"What are you going to do little bitch?" one asked, kicking Kaoru.
Blood reached for the blade, her eyes flashing. One end found its way into the thout of the leader, his eyes widening. Hands reaching for the handle, as if to pull it out. Blood flowed from his mouth and thout, wet gurgling sounds only came out as his body gave out. Falling to the ground in a slumping fall.
She smiled, "That is my answer…"
Three sets of eyes shot from the fallen, the teen. Her red hair was pasted to her by the rain, framing a pair of amber touched eyes. Blood whole body expels hostility. One man rushed at the teen, finding a sheath hitting him in the abdomen. Blood dripped from his lips, taking her chance. Blood punched the man in the temple, knocking him out. The other two, stood in disbelief. Ten heart beats.
The bigger of the two reached in his clothing, letting a dagger fly into the upper of the teen. His smile was short lived, Blood pulled it out. Her eyes locked on the man. Stepping for the body, she ran towards the living two. Using the mud as a slide, and speed. The big one found his own dagger in his groin. As blood slide between his legs. Picking up a fallen short sword, she cut up. His right hand gone, twitching in the mid air. A wordless scream fallowed. Blood stood up, hearing the other fall to the earth.
His friend stood there, fear gripped his heart. This girl was demon! One was the dead, and the others only a breath from it. "This is not over girl. We well claim your life! And the Battousai will pay for his crimes!" he leapt over the wall, not taking a glance back.
Blood spat on the ground, walking over to dead body and yanking out her sword. She reshearth it muttering "Something tells me that man or his mater will come back…"
Then it hit her…Wolf's eyes returned to the blue of before. Only one change. She had killed once again. Kaoru started to come too, her body slowly reawakening. Her eyes fell to the dead body. Growing wide in fear. Savage crying reached her ears. Kaoru turned, eyes landing on a knelling Wolf, holding her blade. Tears falling in time to rain blood dripped from the scar along with a wordless sorrow reaching out to no one.

"Would you really take own life Wolf/" Kenshin's eyes looked to the blade and blood..
Wolf's wrist bleed, falling to the ground. Her smile was…cruel. Even the teen's eyes reflected something. "My life is not my own Kenshin, so why not end it. This world would be a lot better for it" she stated.
"This if your life is no longer yours. This one would like to have it." His hand touched his sword.
Wolf looked to the small man; sense his samurai soul emerging out. Her smile fell into a pit of calm. "Then Battousai let us fight for a life." She replied, taking her own sheathed blade to her hands.
