They both sat down panting. Hinata's hands were shaking from the rush of adrenaline that had just produced.
"Woah!" She said with a grin. "I should fight more, its fun." Minamino looked at her like she was crazy though he knew she was most likely about to remember no matter what he said.
"Are you sure that's you speaking? Hinata would never say something like that!" He lightly teased her, he wasn't sure how he managed to keep the concern from his voice. She couldn't remember. That could never happen again. Never. Luckily, she replied by sticking her tongue out as usual and Minamino smiled easily. He looked at his hand; it was covered in blood. Even after a fight as small as that he found himself getting worked up. He tried to calm himself down by closing his eyes, but he just saw the face again so he opened them abruptly. He sighed and stood up.
"I'm gonna go-" He started to say he was going to wash his hands in the stream but his sentence was cut short by some menacing growls and snarls and four huge grey wolves appearing from out of the woods. They looked at each other and Hinata smiled picking up her knife again.
"Here goes nothing!" She said charging at the nearest wolf. Minamino tutted as she was almost swallowed whole by the wolf, but instead cut it in half. He felt uneasy watching her fight the next wolf as if it was nothing, it felt too much like the old days and he didn't like it. He turned to the wolf advancing on him and dodged it's attack whilst fatally wounding both it and the next one in one blow. Usually he wouldn't dare showcase his skills like that but it felt natural today for some reason. More wolves appeared and there seemed to be more behind them they exchanged looks and Minamino sighed. He had hoped it wouldn't have to have come to this so soon. He had hoped the prophecy wouldn't apply to something like this, but it all seemed to fit.
The tale starts with sucess but sucess will only lead to devastation.
You may be able to act well but others won't be as lucky.
Two will be revealed and all will be lost for you as well.
You will end up doing something out of character.
Something Minamino wouldn't do and that will be your downfall.
Your days are numbered and you should spend them wisely, as your family will never forgive you for this betrayal.
Before this fight had even started the prophecy had begun to unravel, two of the demons had walked out of the shadows slightly before the third and now he was about to do something completely out of character. He sighed and started to slowly back off towards the tent. If he was going to fight seriously he would have to get his weapon.
"What are you doing?" Hinata hissed over at him. "I can't beat all of them by myself!" He looked at her and smiled slightly.
"Cover for me." He said. She looked at him like she was going to kill him and humphed, turning back to face the massive pack of wolves that had just emerged.
"Sure thing." She replied changing into her fighting stance and getting ready to take on the massive wolves. Even if he was deserting her, there was no way she was losing. Minamino was in the tent and he grabbed his jacket pulling out a seed and a rose. He then sighed and stepped out of the tent transforming the rose into a whip and killing five wolves with one blow. This form would do for now, he supposed.
"We can handle a demon attack without me revealing myself but wolves," He tutted and shook his head. "We've got no chance." Hinata laughed and replied:
"I'll ask questions later." She tore through one wolf and kicked another straight into the path of the whip. Minamino watched Hinata clearing a path through the wolves and thought about the old days. They had been a team, always together and forever having sleepovers 'just in case' they had said. As he watched her now he could see Hina and not Hinata. They were two different people and he was just praying that she didn't get a split personality and/or that she wouldn't fully turn back into Hina. One of the wolves managed to avoid the path of the whip so he flicked one of the seeds he had at it and the wolf evoporated. 'Not just any old wolves' he thought to himself, 'demon wolves.' He looked around him and all the wolves they had just killed had been absorbed into the earth. They had been fighting demon wolves and they managed to not only mistake them for normal wolves but to beat them as easily. He looked at her who was just finishing off the last wolf and looking kind of baffled to see the body dissapearing when she killed it. How strong had Hina got? Surely this wasn't a good thing?
He looked around for the stem of the plant he had just planted and pulled it out, snapping it in half as he did and the plant was absorbed into the earth itself. It was a plant that consumed youki so he had to be careful when he was using it in fights. He dropped the bit he was holding into the whirlpool like hole where the stem was being absorbed and the hole closed.
"Dinner's ready." She said, sharing out the food into equal portions. Minamino smiled. Only Hinata could say something like that at a time like this.
