Demon Slayer
Chapter 4: Transformation
I have no school today! Anyway, I was watching this anime called Witchblade and I got this idea from it. Kung fu panda is owned by dreamworks, I only own myself.
It's already Sunday, and the training has been tiring; I really don't think I can handle this, I mean I'm getting the hang of it but I still feel afraid of using the sword. Maybe I should... "Let's continue training."
"Huh, oh give me a break Shifu!" I exclaimed "I mean, I just did curl ups."
"I don't see the problem with that."
"Upside down, while hanging on a branch of large tree!" I retorted "I could've fell and died, or even break a leg! Along with I've done push ups with my index fingers, balanced on one hand while next to a cliff, and you also made me run all the way to the top of a mountain with Po on my back! Can't I get a break?"
"I think he's right." Po agreed "Maybe we can take a break Shifu, he's been giving his all so he should at least have sometime to himself."
I wonder why Po's being so nice to me, he doesn't even know me; and yet he's helping me with Shifu, I don't know what to think. Shifu thought about it and said "Alright, let's take a break for now."
"Thank you... Master Shifu." I said, smiling
"Besides, you need a bath." Shifu explained "All that training made you smell worse than Po's hygene."
"I still resent that!" Po argued
The next thing I knew the two of them started argueing, and since I didn't care I left to take a bath; through yesterdays traing we found a lake with a waterfall, so I left my clothes on a nearby rock and started washing myself. Since I was behind the waterfall my body was hidden, which made me feel better about this. When I was done I listened to my mp3 and started singing the lyrics.
(A/N: Look I can't find the english lyrics to this, so like it or not I'm putting the japanese lyrics in.)
Shooto sunzen mune ga hikisakane sou
nandomo koe wo agete Break out!
It's Not Over owaranai yoru wo kakenukete ike
atsui chi ga karada no naka wo meguru saigo ni kuchihateta shunkan wa
It's All Over utsuro na yume no kakera ga ukanderu
mou nidoto modorenai nani mo omoidasenai
mogaku hodo ochite yuku koe mo todokanai
kontorooru dekinai shoudou
-Give Me Your XTC- mou ichido kanji sasete yo
kono karada atsuku naru kurayami de kimi no na wo sakebu
-Give Me Your XTC- itsuwari no ai wa iranai

Hell or Heaven? shikou kairo Shut Down
barabara no sekai tsunagu ito ga kire de mai sou

"Wow, that was awesome!"
The voice freaked me out and made me fall into the water, when I looked through the waterfall to see who it was I saw Po; he was about to get in the water, so I quickly turned around before he... undressed. He asked "Why are you hiding, afraid I might bite?"
I could feel him getting closer, so I exclaimed "Stay back!"
"Huh?"
"Sorry, I'm not comfortable with taking baths with other people... especially guys." I explained "So, can you stay a couple of inches away?"
"I understand." Po agreed "That was an awesome song, I never knew you had a great voice."
"You understood that?" I asked
"Of course."
'Right, I guess chinese and japanese have a distinct language, so he can understand it.' I thought "Wait, if you understand that then..."
"Don't worry, I won't tell Shifu." He promised "A song like that is something that a person who enjoys stuff like that would listen to."
"It's just something from an anime opening." I assured "As for me singing, I don't really sing in front of others."
"Why not?"
"Don't know, maybe I'm shy."
"Well you should let it out, you would totally rock!"
I actually laughed a little, and Po noticed and smiled; when I stopped I asked "Hey, why are you so nice to me?"
"Why, because you remind me of myself." Po answered
"I do?"
"Yeah, you have another side to you that you didn't even know about." He explained "Like I do with kung fu, it's weird but... though I just met you, I feel a strong bond with you."
Wow, I never knew he felt that way, I feel bad for blackmailing him with that picture; maybe... "Thanks Po, your probably... the best friend I've had in years."
"Wow really, I'm happy you think that." Po said, smiling "Then let's be best friends!"
"Sure, but let's start... after we get out."
It was only a few minutes when I got out, but I waited for Po to come before I left; we actually talked alot about things, mostly about Shifu's training methods. "Does the five have a hard time with his training?"
"They've done it for a while, but he's gotten a little soft since I've come along." Po answered "Don't tell him I said that though, or he'll kill us."
"Haha, you have my word...!?"
It's that feeling again, the same feeling as when the demons first came; are they here again, it's coming from the campsite. "Po, Shifu's in trouble, we have to hurry!"
We started as fast as we could, but when we finally made it the camp looked normal; Shifu saw the expression on my face and asked "Are you alright?"
"I-I felt like something was coming, something bad...!?" There it is again "They're here!"
An ominous wind flew towards us, and the demons finally came; they were flying tengu with fans. Ok just to break the fourth wall, do not compare these guys with those excuse my language: crappy tengu from power rangers, these guys are way better! "Give us the sword!"
'Do they mean Kageichi Muramasa?' I thought "We don't know what your talking about."
"We know who you are!" A Tengu exclaimed "Your the warrior destined to kill our leader, maybe we should kill you instead."
I felt scared, but Po came in front of me in a fighting stance and said "Don't even try, your messing with my best friend. That means he gets the dragon warriors protection!"
I felt happy that Po stood up for me, but I couldn't let him fight... only to die at the hands of demons; so I went into the tent and grabbed the sword, but something felt weird. 'Why do you fight?'
'Why?'
'Do you fight for enjoyment, power, or something else?' Kageichi asked
'I-I want to... I want to protect my friend!' I exclaimed
'Then... AWAKEN!'
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
My body was engulfed in the darkness of my own shadow; as it embodied me my body started to change, my outfit was black with leg armor on my pants, and there was even a black scarf around my neck. My hair even growed longer, kind of like a male anime character, it had a few bangs covering my eyes but I was able to see. When I unsheathed the blade I felt that feeling again, the urge to kill... but it felt different, it felt... controlled. I actually felt... exctasy. When one charged at me, I flew at him at high speeds and decapitated it easily, the feeling of the blood on my blade made me feel excited... it made me want more. "Ok, I got a fever, and the only cure... is more DEAD DEMONS!"
(A/N: For more of a description on how I looked, look at my profile picture.)
I charged right at them with full force, they attacked but I cut their arms before they had a chance; I laughed in pleasure, I slashed through one of them and kicked the top half at one of them. When the tengu fell from the dead one being on top oh him I stabbed it's head through with full force, but when the next one came I tried to dodge but it ended up breaking my sword. "Your dead!"
That's when I thought of something, what if I can use the same moves I gave Ichi in my fic? So when I concentrated I found myself coming up from the tengu's shadow and stabbing it through the back of his head, right through it's mouth. "Shadow Stalker!"
I realized that the blade had been regenrated, must have been from the blood of the demons; I sheathed the sword behind my back... just to look badass. "I did it, kick butt awesome!"
But I just remembered that Po and Shifu were watching me, what would I do if I turned around to see their faces; but when I turned around I saw Po with a smile on his face, he exclaimed "That was awesome, you totally saved us there!"
"Oh, but I was acting like a phsycotic killer." I stated "I don't know if I can..."
"What were you fighting for?" Shifu asked
"What I was fighting for?" I remembered what I said before and said "I was protecting my best friend, both of them."
"I see... thank you." He said, smiling "We should go back, your mother is waiting for us."
"Right, and thanks."
It still felt weird but... I think I can control this power; with their help I know I can do this. But now I have another problem... school.
To be continued
Can I make through the school year the way I am now? Chapter 5 coming soon.
