Ch.11 New faces
"Nineteen years ago?" the Queen of the Bats spoke.
Moniku nodded. "Surely you remember our failed attempt to snatch the twins when they were younger." She reminded the bat demon.
Moniku watched as the woman's facial expressions changed as she tried to remember. The woman before her had long blonde hair, and two long bangs that framed the sides of her face. Her eyes were blood shot red, a trait of any bat demon. The sclera of her eyes were black like Kuraiichi's. Just under her eyes were markings that looked like bat wings. She had full lips and sharp fangs for draining victims of their blood. Draped on her shoulders like a cap was the fur of a Neko demon, specifically a tiger. The fur was white with black tiger stripes. She wore the same fur as a fauld around her waist. The tiger's tail still attached to the fauld draped behind her back when she stood up. Her body had scars over it, indications that she had been part of numerous battles. She wore a dark chestplate with the symbol of the bats on it.
"Moniku you should by now that Komori prefers not to remember such a tarnishing defeat." Another feminine voice added, making them look back towards the cave entrance.
Another sultry form glided across the cavern floors, making the other bat demons back away. Her eyes were golden like Moniku's but they had a certain devilish glow to them that sent chills even down Moniku's spine when she looked at her. She too had black sclera in her eyes just like Komori. The woman that appeared before them had a giant black Python wrapped around her. Her pupils were slanted vertically like that of a vipers, her hair was a dark brown and kept in a braided ponytail. She had tan skin which had snake scales on it in various places, like her shoulders, wrists, a portion of her breasts, a portion of her stomach and back, and her legs. She wore the least amount of clothing between the three of them. She wore a thin strip of cloth that covered her nipples on her breasts and some more cloth that covered her thighs and private area.
"Bo'A. I was wondering when you'd make it." Moniku said addressing the serpent.
The Bat Queen, growled. "Mind your tongue serpent, before I cut it out." Komori said.
"If you had the balls you would have done it two hundred years ago." Bo'A teased.
That only furthered to incite the woman's wrath and she stood up from her stone throne. Her fangs elongated as she prepared to feast upon the blood of the disrespectful demon. However Moniku just stepped in her way.
"Move Mother!" Komori growled. "I'm going to teach Bo'A her final lesson." She growled.
Bo'A smiled playfully before sticking out her tongue. Seeing that Moniku was not going to move she stuck her middle finger up at Bo'A and sat back down. Her fangs and claws returning to normal length.
Moniku shook her head and sighed. "Honestly you think that after all these years the two of you would learn to get along. Bo'A stop teasing your sister. If I can remember you got yours handed to you by Kimiko." Moniku added.
Bo'A huffed. "Yeah, well it was all that guys fault. Will, what's his name?" She asked.
"It's not important at the moment. He's long history. However what is important is Midoriko Tori." Moniku said.
"Oh yea, I heard you talking about her when I came in. Well Mother care to elaborate?" Bo'A asked.
Moniku smiled. "She'll be my apprentice. Just like you two were when I first found you. In three years I'm going to make her a fully-fledged demon." Moniku told her two daughters.
"What if she goes wrong like Kuraiichi did?" Komori asked.
Bo'A sighed. "Those were the days. The four of us made quite the team. You know I don't think they'll ever be another demon as strong as she was." Bo'A said.
"Yeah." Komori said with a shudder. "You remember what she did during the blood moon back before she was sealed?" Komori asked.
Bo'A nodded. "Yeah she flattened the land and made the Tori Valley, the dividing point between the Tori and Neko clans. But hey, we've gotten much stronger too, don't forget." Bo'A commented.
"Finally something we can agree on." Komori stated. She then turned her attention back Moniku. "So if I remember correctly, Midoriko possesses the gene that made Kuraiichi so strong right?" Komori asked.
Moniku nodded. "That's correct. Her gene is rare as a matter of fact Buraun of the Neko possessed a similar gene, but died as she just begun to tap into said power." Moniku informed them.
"Buraun, wasn't that Josei's half-breed brat?" Komori asked to which Moniku only nodded. Komori smiled at the thought of Josei. "Hey when will I get to play with Josey again huh? I want to reunite her with her beloved sister." Komori said as she stroked the tiger fur that she kept around her waist.
"You'll have to be patient Komori, after Midoriko has been properly trained, then you can have your play time." Moniku told her.
"But wait, How are you going to take her from her parents. Don't Midoriichi keep a well trained eye on her?" Bo'A asked.
Moniku smiled. "And there lies the opportune moment. I've been watching Midoriko lately, and she and Midoriichi have a strained relationship. Ultimately it will be Midoriichi who drives Midoriko to us." She chuckled.
"Oh I see." Bo'A said a slight chuckle escaping her lips. "But isn't three years of training harsh for the poor girl? She can't handle the power that Kuraiichi's gene gives her, there's no way she can master becoming a full demon in three years' time." Bo'A said.
Moniku huffed. "You should know not to doubt my power. After all I know the perfect way for her to amass the power I'll need in three years." Moniku answered.
"So let's say you get her ready in three years. Will she be able to kill Midoriichi?" Komori asks.
Moniku smiles evilly. "Let's just say in three years' time, not even Midoriichi will be able to stand up to the power of four Daiyokai class demons."
Bo'A and Komori looked at each other, before back to their mother, and smiled evilly.

Hours later
Midoriko had finished a whole days' worth of training. When she had awoken, the woman from last night was gone. She didn't even bother to return home, partly because she wanted to see what the woman wanted to show her. The other half was because of her situation at home. Still full of pride she would not return home unless her mother apologized to her. For making her feel worthless.
She looked up into the sky and saw that the sun had just set, and night was now beginning to fall. She sat down, and rested for a while. There was only five days left before Moniku came back to train her, to make her stronger. She smiled to herself, just the thought of being stronger made her happy. She just wishes she knew why, and why she needed it so much.
"You ready?" A voice said filling her ears.
Midoriko spun around to see the cat demon from last night behind her. 'When did she get here, I didn't even since her coming.' Midoriko said in her thoughts.
The woman smiled like she knew what Midoriko was thinking. "Come on." She said gesturing for the young demon to follow her.
Midoriko got up from her rock, and followed after the Neko demon. She noticed that the demon had a particular glow about her, the same glow from last night. She decided to ask the demon a few questions.
"Hey you're from the Neko clan right? How come I've never seen you before?" Midoriko asked.
"I've…been away for a while." The cat demon answered.
Midoriko nodded showing that she understood. "So you must just be getting back. How long have you been gone?"
"About twenty years, I left quite some time before you were born." She told Midoriko.
"Twenty years? The longest I've been gone was five years and that's when grandmother took me and younger sister for training." She replied.
"You're younger sister huh? Tell me how are you getting along with her?" The cat demon asked.
"Quite well. We've always been close, I can always tell her things that I couldn't our parents. We trust each other a whole lot, and I'd give my life for her an infinite amount of times." Midoriko answered.
Her reply made the cat demon smile. "Good, a healthy bond with your sibling, is one of the best ties one can have in this life. Whatever you do, don't lose that bond." She told Midoriko.
Midoriko nodded, and then looked away. 'Ichi must be worried sick about me.' She thought to herself. She then looked back at the woman. "So how much farther until we get to this place?"
"Not much farther. Luckily you happened to be close by or else we'd be walking for a while." The woman said with a little sigh in her voice. Midoriko saw her smile and then she pointed up ahead. "We're here."
The cat demon ushered Midoriko to go first. Midoriko took the first step, and she immediately noticed that she had come to an area, that she has been to before. 'This Cliffside looks familiar.' She thought.
It then came back to her. She was about four or five, but their mothers brought them by here a few times in the past. 'If I remember correctly, a friend of theirs died here a long time ago.' She thought.
She looked around the familiar spot, the area was still covered in the scars of the battle that took place here a long time ago.
"Why did you bring me here?" She turned to ask, but saw no one. She looked around for the cat demon, but couldn't find her. She found that her eyes were being drawn back to the grave ahead of her. There near the cliff edge, was a mound of dirt, and a makeshift cross. She took several steps forward and was flooded with images.
Her mind raced as she saw three demons of the Neko Clan fighting. "What was that…just now?" She asked herself. She shook her head and took a few more steps. Another image flashed in her mind. This time it was the same three demons, but it seemed that one was challenging the two.
Midoriko was able to make that all three were female. The images soon took the form of ghostly apparitions before her. She watched as the lone woman, engaged the other two. They exchanged blows and jumped back before vanishing.
Midoriko noticed that the woman's hands were covered in demonic energy, just like what her family could do. When she took another step the apparitions appeared again. This time, they ripped up the ground as they rolled along the dirt. Midoriko watched as the demon with blond hair pinned the woman down and dug her elongated claws into her sides, spilling fresh blood.
"What..what is this? What am I watching?" She asked. She watched Midoriko felt like she was there herself. She could hear the woman crying in pain as the blond cat demon tortured her. "You don't know how long I've wanted to do this. Oh how I've waited for this day." The blond woman said.
Midoriko ran forward and attempted to kick the woman off, but went right through them. She turned to see nothing there. She sighed when she remembered that they were nothing but images her mind was playing on her. But why was she being shown these things?
"Why are you showing me this!?" She screamed hoping to get a response from the woman who brought her here. Then her eyes went wide, the woman that brought her here, looked like the one she was seeing in the flashes.
She had to be sure, she took another step towards the grave. This time she saw something horrific. She watched as the woman had her left arm severed from her body. She screamed in pain as the other woman with long brown hair dangled the arm above her. Midoriko was then able to clarify that the demon from last night was the same one from these visions. Midoriko took a few steps back as she watched the woman get closer.
"You're pathetic. Really sister is this the best that you can do?" The woman asked.
'Sister?' Midoriko said in her thoughts. 'You mean they were sisters?
Midoriko then watched as the woman jumped up and underwent a change. She watched as her claws grew longer, and her eyes darkened. A sense of dread hung over Midoriko, giving her a familiar feeling she was having trouble recalling at the moment. She watched the newly transformed demon fight her sisters, only to be impaled from the front and behind by their claws. She saw that they each whispered something into her ears before they removed their claws and let her body hit the ground.
Midoriko had a horrified expression on her face as their images disappeared, leaving her in front of the grave. "What did I just watch?" Midoriko muttered to herself.
"Is this what you wanted to show me?" She asked.
"Yes." A voice said.
Midoriko turned to see the woman before her once more. "You..died. Why were you fighting your own sisters. Why did they kill you?"
"For one reason. Because I was a half demon. My two oldest sisters murdered me in cold blood."
Midoriko shook her head. "I-I don't get it. What does this have to do with my mother? You said you'd show me what happens to those who don't heed my mother's warnings."
"Midoriichi told me not to face them. She knew I was nowhere strong enough to take them on my own. But me, I thought differently. I thought she was just mocking me for being weak, when in fact she was just looking out for me." The cat demon said. "Your mother may say harsh things but that's only because she worries about you. You may interpret her words as belittling or depressing, but you have to look much deeper than that. After all you're so young, the world still has much to offer." She told Midoriko.
Midoriko thought on the words spoken to her. She knew that somehow the woman was right, she knew she would have to go home sooner or later, and face her. Midoriko nodded as she looked back towards the grave.
"Now go daughter of Midoriko, while you still have a home to return to." The woman said. She watched as Midoriko slowly got up and nodded. She thanked the cat demon before walking back in the direction of her mountain home.

Back at the base of the mountain home of the Tori, Kimiko was awaiting the arrival of an old friend. It didn't take long either and Midoriko smiled when she saw her approaching. The woman had raven long hair, that was in a ponytail and she had hazel colored eyes. She wore a white kimono with red hakama pants, just like Kimiko use to wear. She carried a bow and arrow, and a short sword, she also had a few sealing scrolls and sutra wards on her as well. She smiled when she saw Kimiko running up to her.
"Jodan! (Jordan)" Kimiko called out.
"Shimai!(sister)" Jodan called back.
"Oh it's great to see you again, How have you been?" Kimiko asked.
"Great, you know when the demons aren't attacking, but how are you been?" She asked her longtime friend.
"Wonderful, come on I'll introduce you to the family." Kimiko said as she took Jodan, by the hand and led her up the mountain trail.
There you have it folks, three new characters. Two evil and one good. I hope you like your character Jordan, because in the next chapter you show off what you can do. As for Moniku, it seems her dark plans are slowly coming to the light, but what does this spell for Midoriichi and the others?
The kickass story that me and raptorhunter18 are planning you say? Ah ah ah, all in due time folks, all in due time.
