XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx
Kitara was plummeting closer and closer to the ground.
Kitara felt like she was going to die.
She closed her eyes and prayed, prayed for a miracle.
Then by a stroke of luck (wow) she fell into a forest of trees, the braches slowing her speed, but not by much.
-In a village nearby-
The sun had just peeked out from the horizon.
A little girl had poked her little head out of her hut.
"Good morning Mr. Sun" the little girl said in a cheeky voice as she greeted the day.
Just then a loud boom was heard in the forest on the edge of the village.
She was just about to head out to see what had happened but she was stopped.
"Myagi, where are you headed to this early in the morning?" Her mother questioned.
"Umm, well, I heard something in the forest so I was going to check it out." Myagi said with a nervous grin.
"Please mommy can I check it out?" Myagi pleaded.
"Well, I guess its ok but as soon as you sense danger you run right on home, got it?"
"Yup ok mommy, see you later." Myagi said in her cheery little voice as she waved to her mother and set off to find the source of the boom.
-At the edge of the forest-
Myagi had walked to where the forest and the village meet.
There in the centre of it there she saw a girl, not just any girl, it was Kitara.
Myagi cautiously walked up to her, and then she saw her, in pain, and weak.
She wanted to help some way but she didn't know how, just then she saw the sutra on Kitara, and by some miracle she knew that she had to remove it,
so she grabbed it off of her, feeling a slight jolt of weakness from the sutra as she dropped it to the floor.
Myagi looked at Kitara again, as a look of relief washed over Kitara's face as she slowly sat up.
"Are you ok lady?" Myagi questioned.
"My name's not lady, it's Kitara." Kitara replied as her strength began returning.
"Oh ok, well, my name is Myagi." She said smiling at her.
Kitara smiled back, then she tried to stand up but when she did a great jolt of pain sprang up from her leg.
"OUCH!! MY LEG!!!" Kitara groaned as she held back tears.
"What happened?" asked Myagi in a panicked tone.
"I think I sprained by ankle, but don't worry as long as it doesn't get any worse, it will be ok." Kitara replied meekly.
"Come on I'll take you to my village, the priestess will have your ankle fixed up in no time." Myagi said in a reassuring manner as she helped Kitara make her way to the village.
But before they got there Kitara froze in her tracks.
"What's wrong?" Myagi asked.
Just then loud thumping noises were heard from behind, as they both slowly turned around.
They both gasped as they saw a huge, red ogre demon behind them.
"So you are the one my master wants. Why would she want a half demon such as you?" The demon responded.
"STOP CALLING ME A HALF DEMON!!" Kitara screamed angrily.
"No matter, I'll just get this useless half demon to her quickly, and then I'll have a little snack after." The demon sneered as he eyed Myagi.
Myagi whimpered as Kitara pushed Myagi behind her in a protective manner.
"Myagi, I want you to run to the village and get help. I try to keep him busy for as long as I can." Kitara whispered to the little girl.
"But what about your ankle?" Myagi asked in a concerned manner.
"I'll be alright, just go get help." Kitara assured her.
Myagi nodded as she made a dash for the village.
"Foolish wench, she was not my target, you are." The demon stated.
Kitara growled angrily as she was trying to think of what to do, and with her sprained ankle she couldn't really do much.
The demon tried to grab her but she quickly jumped out of the way, and quickly feeling the pain of her ankle.
The demon repeatedly tried to grab her and repeatedly she dodged everyone and with each jump, the pain became more excruciating.
Then as Kitara jumped to a tree she found a spear right beside a pile of bones.
She shivered at the thought of what had happened to those bones, but she jumped down and took the spear.
Now she had something to defend herself with, and each time the demon tried to grab her, she would try to take a stab at him.
-At the village-
"LADY KAEDE, LADY KAEDE COME QUICK, SOMEONE IS BEING ATTACKED BY A DEMON!" Myagi screamed as she entered the village.
Myagi ran into Kaede's hut and after no more than a minute had passed they both came out of the hut.
Kaede took her bow and arrows with her as they ran to where Kitara was being attacked.
-Where Kitara was being attacked-
Kitara was doing her best to keep from getting caught but it was getting harder and harder, with her ankle getting worse and worse.
"KITARA, WE'RE COMING!" Myagi shouted as they came to the scene.
Just as Kitara turned her head, she was slammed to the ground by the demon.
"Oh no!" Myagi said looking away.
The demon had picked Kitara up.
She was in complete agony now and half unconscious.
"Lady Kaede, please you have to help her!" Myagi pleaded.
But the priestess couldn't do much, if she tried to take a shot, there would be a possibility of hitting Kitara.
"What are we going to do?" they both pondered.
In Kitara's last few minutes of consciousness, she decided that she didn't want to die like this, she used the last of her strength to raise the spear up and jabbed it right into the demon's arm.
"ARRGH!!" the demon screamed in agony as he dropped Kitara to the ground.
As soon as the demon dropped Kitara, Kaede took aim and fired.
Immediately after the arrow had pierced the demon, it disintegrated.
Myagi rushed over to Kitara to see if she was ok.
Kitara was unconscious, had a sprained ankle, a few broken bones, and a few other minor injuries. But other than that Kitara was still live.
Kaede had called for one of the villagers to take Kitara to her hut where she would be treated for her injuries.
-In a temple somewhere-
"Has she really come back monk Satoro?" asked an orange haired boy.
"Yes, the orb had started glowing last night." Replied a monk
"I see." The boy responded as he stood up, and went into the temple.
"Where are you going?" wondered the monk.
"I'm going to get her back." The boy said as he packed a few things into a sac.
The monk walked up to the boy and handed him a small pouch.
"Give this to her, this will help her remember." The monk said encouragingly.
"Don't worry, monk Satoro, I'll be ok." The boy said as he set off.
"I know you will." The monk whispered as he watched the boy disappear into the woods.
To be continued…
Well for the first time I didn't end it with a cliffy, well sort of. Who is this boy and what does he have to do with Kitara? Find out next chapter. I hope you enjoyed it please R&R.
