New Beginnings Ch. 7
Okay here is the next chapter sadly it is far shorter than I had hoped but maybe that was because of other issues happening, not finding ideas or other shit in my damn holy life but don't fret I will eventually have a flashback showing the details of their five years out in the wilderness on the eigth chapter. I was also debating on weather to include Tsukune's chapter in but I decided not to since that one will be more focused on what he's doing to Lord Akashia and other bullshit that will be happening. Anyway enjoy the chapter and don't forget to review!
Silently Moka and Kira sat in the cave that they had found earlier that morning. Moka was busy listening and watching as Kira demonstrated and explained the process of making a fire as Moka ran her hands thru her bear pelt.
"Now the most important thing to remember is that fire is dangerous and can seriously harm someone unless they are being watched or instructed on how to do so. Always wear a short sleeve shirt made of 100 percent cotton and the same if you are going to wear a long sleeve shirt." Explained Kira as she rubbed two sticks together. After a few short minutes of this a small spark ignited causing Kira to shout with success. Kira then gently covered the spark with dry leaves and sticks before gently blowing on the spark causing it to ignite the dry leaves. The second the fire was ignited Kira jumped up in success and danced around the fire.
Moka couldn't help but lightly laugh at Kira's dancing and the fire also seemed to be amused as it burned hotter.
"Kira...are you usually this happy after creating a fire or is it just because this is the first time you created a fire without Tsukune around?" Asked Moka as she continued to laugh at Kira's antics.
"No...I've made plenty of fires without Tsukune around and I'm not always this happy after making a fire. This is just the first time that I've made a fire without setting something else on fire." Said Kira as she looked at Moka in embarrassment and minor rage.
"Uh...Kira your pants are on fire." Said Moka as she pointed to Kira's left thigh.
"Oh...Moka that isn't going to work. Do you smell burning flesh?" Asked Kira as she took a few experimental sniffs of the air and looked around. After a short while she began to notice that her left thigh felt slightly warmer than her right one and quickly patted her pant leg. The second she did that she felt a searing pain go thru her hand and left thigh. Quickly Kira pulled her hand up to her face to see that it was a deep corrosive black with spider web cracks stretching across her hand. Shaking in feat Kira quickly stripped of her pants and panties for a good measure and inspected her left thigh. Her entire upper thigh was the same corrosive black like her hand and the spider web cracks stretched to be half way around her leg.
"Kira are you alright?" Asked Moka as she looked at Kira in concern.
"No I'm not." Said Kira as she sucked in breath through her clenched teeth as pain throbbed thru her hand and left thigh.
"Is there anything that I can do to help?" Asked Moka as she set everything down.
"Yeah you can take me to the river that we found earlier." Said Kira as she attempted to walk out of the cave only to collapse from the pain.
"Kira!" Shouted Moka as she ran up to Kira and knelt beside her. Moka then attempted to help Kira back up but had her hand gently slapped away.
"Ugh...I won't be held down by my pain." Said Kira thru clenched teeth as she slowly stood back and started to walk out of the cave with a minor limp. She nearly fell down two more times before she caught herself and continued onward.
Moka just watched sadly before she walked up to Kira and grabbed her by her waist. She then took off running into the forest making certain to watch for any low hanging branches so that Kira wouldn't get injured anymore than what was necessary. Moka was of course wise enough to ignore Kira's protest as she ran until she stopped in front of the river. Moka then set Kira down gently onto the ground and wisely backed away.
Silently Kira glared at Moka but couldn't hold it as another wave of pain flashed thru her mind. All she could then focus on was the pain and the sound of the water flowing thru the clearing as she turned towards the river. Somewhere in her mind Kira was thanking Moka for bringing her so close to the river as she gently crawled in keeping a hold on the shore with her good hand.
Silently Moka just watched as the water that flowed away from Kira changed from a pure see thru white into the same corruptive black that was on her hand and left thigh. After a short while Kira gently pulled herself out of the river and gave her burns a look over. The skin was lightly charred but the major portion of the marking was gone causing Kira to sigh in relief.
"Come on Moka let's get back to the cave." Said Kira as she slowly stood up and lightly stretched her leg to make certain that it would hold her weight. She then just for the fun of it hopped on each leg before nodding in satisfaction and started to walk off with Moka following after.
As they both walked thru the forest they couldn't help but enjoy the silence that was only broken by the occasional chirping of a cricket or the chirping of a cicada. Shortly after the wind began to pick up causing the crickets and cicadas to stop their symphony of sounds as the moon became overcome by the clouds. A few minutes later a crack of thunder resonated across the sky which was then promptly followed by a flash of lightning lighting up the night sky.
Moka was slightly trembling as she nervously looked around her for anywhere to hide knowing full well what would happen.
"Hey Moka you okay?" Asked Kira as she looked at Moka who just lightly nodded placing a brave front on.
"Of course I am why wouldn't I be?" Asked Moka as she looked at Kira in mild confusion.
"Of no particular reason." Said Kira as she continued to walk off while Moka followed after watching the sky. As they continued along the thunder and lightning began to grow louder and brighter as the storm rolled in turning the sky into a sea of rolling black clouds that crashed against one another. Shortly after the wind picked up as well whipping both Moka's and Kira's hair around them and faintly they both could hear someone or something laughing at them.
"Did you hear that?" Asked Moka as she looked at Kira questionably who just looked around.
"Yeah I did. It was most undoubtfully a wind spirit. You don't really need to worry about them too often. They are rather well know to play with people but not overly injure them without cause or a good reason." Said Kira as she walked forward with Moka following after.
"What of the other element spirits?" Asked Moka as she continued to follow Kira while keeping a monitoring glance on the sky.
"Well fire spirits are rather easy to anger and devilish pranksters, Water spirits are healers that prefer working in the shadows, Earth spirits are rather understanding and usually keep humans in check, Lightning spirits are similar to fire spirits but don't anger easily, Shadow spirits are rather gloomy and prefer to be left alone, light spirits are bubbly and happy all the damn time and enjoy being around people, and then the Gray spirits are neutral and don't usually give a shit about anything unless in concerns them." Said Kira before she stopped an looked into the sky to see it starting to drizzle.
"Ah shit..." muttered Kira as she stomped forward on the dry land while Moka ran clearly passing her before disappearing from Kira's sight. "Ah shit...MOKA WAIT!" Shouted Kira as she stood still as the rain began to fall even harder. Not wanting to risk catching the common cold she followed after Moka. As she ran through the rain it became even harder to distinguish trees, shrubs, rocks, and several other things as he hair covered her eyes. It wasn't long before she tripped over something. Fearing the worst she turned back and saw Moka laying on the ground soaking wet.
"Shit..." Whispered Kira as she approached Moka's prone form. When she attempted to get close to Moka she was prevented by a water spear shooting out of the ground in front of her. Now normally she would gladly run to help someone but the thing was that this water spear was pitch black.
"Double shit a rouge water spirit." Growled out Kira as another spear of black water rose from the ground near a puddle close to Moka. Quickly thinking Kira ran towards Moka only to be blasted back by a swirling vortex of water. With a silent thud she landed on the ground before she lightly skidded back because of the wet ground. After a few seconds she finally stopped after hitting her head rather hard on a few rocks and a tree trunk. Groaning in pain she slowly stood up while holding her head.
"Good Kami-sama." Muttered Kira as she slowly walked away from the tree. Breathing carefully she barely took notice of a young female standing behind Moka. When she finally regained enough of her bearings she quickly looked over her.
The female looked to be at least seventeen if not eighteen years old, stood somewhere around 5'8" to 5'9", had cerulean blue hair with a few streaks of black intermixed, and a pair of cool, calm, ice blue eyes that sucked the very warmth from your body and gave away no emotion. She was wearing a blue kimono that perfectly matched her eye and hair color along with wrapped her frame perfectly showing off her curves and bust. Imprinted upon the kimono was a picture of the undersea life.
Smiling lightly she waved to Kira who just stood there dumbstruck until she felt a burning sensation run across her lower abdomen up to her upper shoulder. With a wet squelching sound Kira's upper half slid off soaking the ground in her blood. Smiling in happiness the woman laughed in sadistic glee as she turned her attention to Moka who was looking at her in fear.
"You have no reason to fear me child. I promise I won't hurt you...so long as you listen to me." Said the female as she held her hand out to Moka.
Acting on impulse alone Moka slapped the hand away rather weakly before she backed up slightly. She was soon shaking in fear as the woman smiled even wider giving her a devilish appearance.
"That was rather rude you know. I prefer getting the name of those who I intend to kill before I kill them." Lightly whispered Kira's voice as she appeared behind the woman with her shadow moving along her skin before it turned a fire red color.
"Now...BURN!" Shouted Kira as she slammed her elbow into the side of the woman's face sending her flying away with steam pouring off where Kira hit her.
Silently Moka sat in shock at seeing Kira alive but that was quickly over come when Kira began to pump out more yokai. Struggling with her breath Moka couldn't help but stare in a combination of fear and awe as Kira's yokai swirled around her displacing the water around her.
'This power...is amazing.' Thought Kira as she formed a fireball in her left hand. Laughing in absolute glee Kira let lose several fireball's at the woman who was slowly getting back to her feet. Watching with barely contained glee Kira and Moka both stared in awe as the fireballs closed into their target only to be snuffed out by a wall of black water surrounding the water spirit. When the water wall fell the spirit was nowhere to be seen.
'Where did she go?' Wondered Kira as she looked around before she quickly jumped to the side as a black water whip shot passed her. Thinking on the fly she grabbed hold of the whip with her right hand and gave it a pull. Without thinking she quickly slammed her left fist into the spirits face as she released the whip sending her flying once more.
"You think that you're going to get me that way hahahaha..." Laughed out Kira as she turned to the water spirit only to catch it dissolving.
"No I plan to do it this way." Whispered the water spirit as she appeared behind Kira with her fingers gently laying across Kira's throat. She lightly laughed underneath her breath as she felt Kira's muscle's tense beneath her fingers before she lightly began to squeeze her neck and to make the process far quicker she also sharpened her nails with water plunging them into Kira's neck slowly drowning Kira to death.
'No Kira...' Thought Moka as she looked at her current mentor completely forgetting about the numbing pain that the rain was bringing her. It was replaced with Anger. Anger at her father for turning her eldest sister into a killing machine, anger at thought of losing one of her few chances of having a friend, and pure anger directed at this spirit no demon. Growling through clenched teeth Moka slowly stood up and took calm evenly spaced steps towards the spirit before she ran at the spirit screaming. Subconsciously she also channeled pure yokai into her fingers and quickly brought them down on top the spirits back causing her to scream in pain and drop Kira. Not wanting the spirit to recover Moka continued to dance around the spirit slashing at her for several minutes before Moka stuck her hands through the spirits stomach.
"Die." Whispered Moka but with the force of her yokai it sounded like she screamed it. Struggling Moka pulled her hands apart from one another inside of the spirit's body splitting her into two. Breathing heavily Moka turned to face Kira while she lightly licked some of the spirits blood off her finger tips. Out of all the things Moka was expecting for Kira to do she never anticipated Kira hugging her and thanking her.
"No problem." replied Moka as she released her yokai before she fell to sleep.
Silently Kira smiled before she to fell into a deep sleep.
(Five years later)
"...ka. MOKA!" Shouted someone with impudence at a silver haired female who awoke startled.
The female that was being yelled at stood 5' 1", had bright silver hair that shone similar to the moons light and had some crimson red and aqua blue streaks in it, and a pair of blood red eyes with a black reptilian slit. She was wearing a white fur top along with a light brown fur skirt that stopped halfway down her upper legs and the skirt also had a slit along the left side of it for increased mobility.
"What da...Kira what the hell do you want?" Asked Moka as she lightly stretched while yawning. She then sighed in relief and looked at Kira.
Kira over the past five years had also grown if only slightly. She now stood 5' 6", had her origional black hair only it now had faint traces of red in the tips and reached halfway down her back, and held a pair of silver eyes with a yellow slit in the center. She now wore a similar tank top as Moka's only hers showed off her D-cup and the same exact skirt as Moka.
"Have you seriously forgotten what today is?" Asked Kira as she looked at Moka who gave her a blank stare.
"It's been exactly five years since Tsukune brought us here meaning..." Started Kira as she watched the gears turn in Moka's head.
"Oh yeah Tsukune will be picking us up today." Stated Moka in happiness before she stopped and looked around the place that they had come to call their home.
The cave that they had found five years ago had undergone several renovations since then. Unlike they had found it they had blocked off the ability of going deeper in with temporary wooden walls and stone walls which also doubled as a fridge or freezer depending on the season. They had also blocked off a good portion of the entrance with rock and a type of mortar made from mud, sand, rock fragments, and water. They had also had some minor luck with being able to run a small underwater path through the bedrock to their home as well. As for their beds well they were mostly pelts form the unlucky animals that had either entered their home or became their meals.
"So much has changed in the past five years." Said Moka as she lightly picked up a leather quiver and a oak bow.
"Yeah so lets make tonight memorable with a feast fit for a demon king." Said Kira as she agreed with Moka.
"Think we should take home all the pelts that we've acquired?" Asked Moka as they steeped out into the clearing that they had found five years ago. This too had changed half of the clearing had been turned into their own personal garden and the other half had been turned into their personal training ground.
"I don't think so. Besides by now more than half of those pelts have already began to disintegrate. If we do well have to take home only the ones on top." Said Kira as she quickly grabbed a handful of black berries and ate them.
"You know I really hate how you can still eat human food and I can't." Said Moka as she watched the forest for anything that moved.
"I thought that you still could." Said Kira as she started to pick another handful of black berries.
"It's not the matter of weather I can eat it or not its the fact that it doesn't supply enough nutrition. Blood on the other hand has all the nutritional values for me." Said Moka as she caught sight of a deer at the edge of the clearing. Smiling in glee she quickly knocked a arrow in her bow. Moving carefully and silently Moka crept closer to the deer and pulled back the arrow. Just as she was about to release her arrow a wall of smoke surrounded her along with Kira.
