"Soubi can we stop now? I'm tired, hungry, and I have no signal on my phone anymore!" Kio yelled in a most annoying child like voice.
Soubi sighed once more, "Kio it's only been 30 minutes of walking, don't tell me you're already tired"
"For 30 minutes we walked pretty far, come on let's just set up camp here already!" The green eyed college boy whined.
The long haired college boy shook his head. If he knew his best friend was going to bitch so much maybe he would have thought to come alone. Now there was no turning back. Kio and he was here and he would have to deal with every little thing that he didn't like or approve of. Soubi looked around the place his best friend choose to set camp at. The surrounding seemed pretty good, liked as if this spot was waiting for them. The ground was clean as much as nature would like to have it clean that is. It was a great place to set a fire as well, he didn't have to worry about setting the entire woods into flames.
'Only you can prevent wild fires'
Soubi shuddered at the words of smoky the bear. Damn those icons of the year, he never voted for him. The two put their camping bags onto the ground.
"Alright, first thing's first," Soubi said getting Kio's attention. "Who is going to do what?"
Kio glared at his blond friend, "Oh don't give me this boy scout bull shit!"
He chuckled at his reaction, "It's the only way we'll get anything done before night fall. You don't want to still be putting up the tents when the sun is down do you?"
"Me? Setting up the tents? Oh your an asshole Soubi!" Kio yelled. "Then what are you going to be doing then mister?" He questioned as he put his hands on his hips.
"I'm going to gather fire wood for the night. Look at it this way, if there are any demons out in the woods you wouldn't have to be dealing with them if I go out"
Kio stared at the ground. He did have a point, but the ranger said that there was no demons.
"But the ranger said-"
"And you believe him?" Soubi questioned his best friend as he interrupted him.
"I guess not..." Kio replied sounding defeated.
"Good, so let's get started before it gets dark" The blond informed as a smile appeared on his oh so handsome face.
It has been two weeks since Ritsuka had started his search for the human area; however, he had found no luck. Every time he thought he found a way in, it was either fenced, surrounded by other humans with weapons, or was blocked by large machines. Ritsuka found himself lost, he's never really gone a ways like this before. Tears began to appear in the corner of his eyes. All he wanted was his mother, why did humans have to be so cruel? They never did anything to anyone...it was like when his older brother Seimei disappeared. Literally that was when his life truly changed. His mother began to get clingy and watched his every move.
He didn't hate it, but sometimes he thought it was a tad to much. Who would look after him now? He shook his head, no this was not the time to be thinking of such things. He had to continue his search for his mother and who knows he might just end up finding his brother as well. Having decided on his actions Ritsuka continued his walk until...
"Well look what we have here" A voice said from behind.
Ritsuka's eyes widen in shock. He turned to the source of the voice and as much as he would like to think of this as a bad dream he couldn't because there before him stood four human boys all well around his age, perhaps older.
"It looks like we finally have a playmate" One of the boys said who's hair was red as blood.
Ritsuka couldn't move, he was too scared to move. He in his whole 12 years of life has never really met a human so close up before.
"Look it's like a cat some how" Another replied as he pointed him out.
"Yea, but I think it's like a freak cat I mean look at his tail! It's so weird! When have you ever seen a cat with two tails?" The fourth boy with brown dark hair stated looking completely disgusted while Ritsuka felt embarrassed about his two tails.
"Alright already we've distinguished how unusually it looks let's just get this over with. I didn't come here today leave my hands empty handed" The leader of the group said. "I want that reward" He finished. They all started to walk towards the demon, some showing that they were carrying bats, and others bags and nets.
Ritsuka looked at all directions they were trying to cave him in. As they tried to jump on him, he jumped onto the tree tops.
"Don't let him get away!" The leader shouted with anger.
The boys began to throw rocks at the demon. Ritsuka tried dodging them all, but it was really hard since all four at once threw them all. One hit him on the face.
"Ah!" He yelled in pain. Ritsuka started to run and the boys followed. The human boys continued throwing their rocks trying to get the demon off balance. Ritsuka felt the pain of every stone being thrown at him, but he couldn't stop running on the tree branches because if he did then he would have been captured then who knows what these humans would have done to him. Then the leader of the group decided it was a great idea to throw his bat at the demon and that it was. Once Ritsuka felt the object it knocked him off balance completely.
"We got him now!" The red head shouted with excitement.
Ritsuka fell on the ground, he quickly sat up and tried to run until he was grabbed from behind by one of the boys.
"You think can run?" The brown haired boy questioned.
The demon said nothing; however, he continued to worm away trying to get himself free. A black haired boy then grabbed his bat and hit Ritsuka on the stomach. This made the demon scream in pain. Never has he felt something so horrible like this before.
"Any last words you filthy rat?" The leader of the gang asked sneering.
"My...mother.." Ritsuka tried to say through the pain. He panted heavily with each word that came out of his mouth.
"Hm? What was that? I didn't quite catch that" He continued to mock.
"My..mother..please..."
This made all of the boys hollow with laughter.
"Awww..the wittle demon wants his wittle mommy" They taunted.
"Hold him up straight, I want this hit to be all me" The leader of the group said as a smirk appeared on his face.
Ritsuka closed his eyes and waited for the impact to come.
Ritsuka's POV
I opened my eyes to find myself on the ground...covered in blood. I looked around and the boys were dead, but I'm confused, how did this happen? Did I do this? I remember the leader of the group was going to hurt me, but then it was dark and I don't remember a thing. I tried to stand up, but as I did my legs felt horribly weak and I fell back toward the ground. Whoever did this or whatever happened left me banged up pretty good; however, I can't help to question my survival. Why am I the only one alive? I sighed, this wondering wasn't going to get me anywhere. The is sun about to set and I have no place to stay nor am I in any condition to defend myself.
I'm sorry mother I've failed you...I began to drag myself to the nearest tree so that I can lay down. I felt so tired once I arrived toward my destination that my eye led's felt so heavy. Just when I thought that sleep had left me unconscious I started to hear something. It was little words here and there.
"Hey...you...here...okay?"
I didn't recognize the voice nor the sudden warmth that covered my body, but I thing I knew was that I didn't want it to go away. I opened my eyes slightly, I couldn't see the man above me it was all too blurry.
"P-pplease..." Was the last thing I said before my world turned to darkness once more.
