Demi

II

With the blood of Morrígan and Scátbach coursing through her veins, Ogasawara Sachiko was made to be the next hero with Gáe Bulg by her side (do not ask how two women got a baby). Along with her good friend and child of Aífe and Minerva, Hasekura Rei was on par with Sachiko as she too carried a godly weapon: Fragarach. The two are inseparable that their mothers were led to belief that they would someday be wed to each other or elope before their marriage.

Between them, Sachiko is considered the ferocious killer in the battlefield while her best friend was a more diplomatic and weaker than she is. But that would be a mistake upon the fools that thought Rei was weaker than Sachiko, both are demi and their mortal mothers was a legend warrior themselves. So growing up and trained by their mothers, the two girls are competent warriors without weakness that could kill them as they seek not fame nor glory but justice and protecting the weak.

"My parents are grossing me out," Rei commented over a drink of good wine at an inn. The two are traveling further north searching for a giant serpent that had been terrorizing the people of that region lately. "Why do you say that?" Sachiko asked taking a sip of her wine while waiting for the foods. "They're all over each other whenever my "mom" visit," Rei said making a quoting sign with her hands. "My parents are all over each other every day," Sachiko said and effectively shuddered at the thoughts of her mothers getting freaky out in the barn. "Ugh, now I need more wine…" Rei said giving a visible shuddered at her friend's words. The two laughed as the foods arrived, Rei thanked the waitress as Sachiko poured them more wine.

With a handsome look, Rei usually got women swarming her and offering themselves to her so willingly, while her friends were chased by men offering to keep her company at anytime of the day. Unfortunately for the men, a single glare from Sachiko was enough to freeze them over; Rei could only laughed becoming amused when the women started coming after her friend as well. Rei, who would once in a while decided to tread on thin ice by flirting with Sachiko, and most of the times she would managed a nice blush from the ever stiff girl and other times she induced the darker side of Sachiko.

Soon, both are in bed and ready to sleep, though Sachiko was caring for her weapon while her friend looked out at the starless sky above. "War is such an unavoidable thing," Rei said after a long moment of silence. "Indeed, but the monsters are much more fearsome than anything else in the world," Sachiko nodded her head in agreement. "What do you think of this place that's in the middle of nowhere?" Rei continued. "A brothel, a bandit's hideout," Sachiko shrugged.

Once her spear was cleaned, Sachiko stood up and whirled the thing in the air before stabbing right through the wall. A grunt was heard from behind the wall just before she pulled the spear back to her side letting whatever behind the wall dropped onto the floor with a loud thud. Quickly the door to their room was kicked down and in a blink of an eye, Rei unsheathe her sword and gave her enemies a quick swing cutting them in half. Blood dripping and bodies lay about, the two friends climbed on their own bed and slept soundly after they cleaned up their weapon for the second time that day.

By the time the friends reached the riverbank that rumored to have a great serpent living there, all they saw was blood red water with a few scales lay about the flattened grass. Sniffing the ground, Sachiko followed the scent toward a bustling town full of merchants. There they saw a group of men carrying a giant serpent head drawn by eight horses in a very slow pace as though the head was too heavy even with that many horses. Walking not far behind the men are two young men, each carrying a large amount of scaly skin that was neatly folded up to their eyes. They headed into the Hunting Guild to claim their reward, and most of the people on the road got frighten that they run out of the way or would be screaming in horror at the sight of the head that looked to be part fish and part lizard.

"Looks like we're late," Rei commented eyeing the last two people of the group. Sachiko just nodded her head; she was at awe at how a group of 22 people managed to took down something with a head that big. It made her wondered if there are more of them and only 22 people survived the hunt.

"Dammit, we're late to catch it. This is all your fault Sei," someone said from nearby causing the pair of friends avert their attention away from the group of men. Riding on horses, a group of four women looked on at the group of men at the guild; Rei was immediately drawn to the girl with long braided brown hair with a strong and wild look on her face grumbling about how Sei slowed down the traveling to capture a rare Rorza.

Not long after that small complain from the other group, the men exited the guild and started to cut the ropes that the horses got tied them to the head on the ground. The two young fellas nodded at each other before they lifted the head together and carried it over to the guild's doorway, the one with black hair shoved his hands into the thing's eyeball and pulled it out tossing the thing right into the guild before kicking the whole head inside knocking the wooden beams out of its place (more like broking it).

"You lying bastards, you dare to tax us for killing a monster for you that you can't do it on your own? I should just lead the damn thing here and let it gobble you greedy bastards up, did the world some good with you cowards gone." "Calm down, merchants are known to be stingy and greedy. No need to be mad over it," the brown hair young man said to the raven hair and everyone sigh in relief. "Just burn their houses down to the ground instead," he added afterward startled everyone that's around them.

"Girls, girls, calm down…" a man in his 40s said. "Shut it old man!" the raven hair snapped at him. "Noriko," the one with brown hair called. "What?!" the angry raven said turning to face the other one. Saying nothing, the brown hair flicked the raven hair on the forehead and that got the raven hair calmed down immediately. "Its partner is coming and since the pay isn't worth much from the last kill, we'll get our foods with this kill. How about it?" the brown hair asked and the raven hair just nodded his head. "Let's go!" he shouted out to the others as they all jumped onto their ride and rode out of town to the west toward the river.

A/N: The whole gang finally gathered, let's hope there's some more crazy things going on between them and that they won't kill each other off before chaos arrive to swallows the world whole. Enjoy~
