No, this 'chapter' doesn't start where the last one left off. Yes, this is purely to mess with the narration. And yes, I enjoy every bit of feedback from you. Enjoy!
Dashing through the woods at top speed, Orochi attempted to keep himself focused, ignoring what he'd left behind, the strange cries of the Otherworldly beasts that had attacked making it near impossible. Trying to exterminate the creatures had been a foolhardy plan on their parts, but how much of a choice had he had? Sheena, as the chief, had the right to command them all, and letting her run into battle with only that stupid kid would be a foolish mistake.
It had proven to be such, Zelos refusing to leave her side for even a moment. Honestly, with how much older and wiser he'd become since their first meeting, the ninja had expected some sort of real development, the lasting sort by now. Orochi himself had never had any question of what the Chosen thought about Sheena. Still, what was he supposed to do about a pair of blind, stubborn fools?
Save them from their otherwise inevitable deaths he supposed. Their attackers had followed him through the trees, though they were still lumbering behind. Eventually he'd have to fight, and judging by the earlier battle, he'd lose.
Sighing as he continued racing past the trees, the Mizuhoan knew it was inevitable. If his duty was to die, so be it. But he'd be damned if it was to happen before he could deliver the message he'd been sent with.
Proper update tomorrow, I promise!
