"How can you help me? And what is it do you think I need help with, madam? Asked Kiyoshi as he stares down at the old lady with curiosity.
"Aren't you the one they sent to investigate why the mysterious warrior is attacking the town, child? Asked the old lady in response to Kiyoshi's questions with a smile on her wrinkled face.
"Yes, but how do you know about me being here?" Kiyoshi asked as he wondered what was the old lady's motive for speaking to him.
"I will answer all your questions, child, but first we must go somewhere else." Remarks the elder lady as she grabs onto Kiyoshi's hand, pulling him forward.
"Where are we going? Where are you taking me?" Asked Kiyoshi as he was being dragged along by the old woman to God knows where.
"First away from here, child. The police will be here soon. And having a stranger not from here branding a sword will look very suspicious don't you think young samurai.? Asked the old lady as they begin hearing foots
As Kiyoshi entered the home of the slain Kenshin and his Family he could feel an almost overbearing rush of negative emotions and aura hitting him like a bull elephant charging at him. "Something truly awful happened here. The negative presence here is through the roof." Kiyoshi remarked as he made his way through the dilapidated house. Within the depths of the house, Kiyoshi could observe that due to the fire, the paint on the walls was unrecognizable. Ash covered the floors of the hallway as what used to be decor, picture frames, and other items vanished into nothingness due to the envious flames. Kenshin and his wife's bedroom was the first room Kiyoshi entered. The room that used to be a room of holy matrimony was now an empty room. The room was burnt to a crisp, and the bed was hacked and chopped into pieces. They scattered their clothes and other items all over the place, well what was left of them that is. "They completely destroyed this placed
"Before we discuss the events of the day, you must get some content of me and Kenshin's relationship and a little of my past as well," Aina announced as she sat with her legs folded, as she was still covered in the foggy mist. "I was born Aina of the Isamashii clan, a clan that was famous during the demonic conversion event," Aina explained. "I knew that sounded familiar," Kivuli remarked as they listened to Aina's story. "Why?' asked Kiyoshi as Kivuli explains that during the demonic conversion event the Isamashii clan was one of twelve clans/ tribes that contributed heavily to the defeat of the hell's forces. The Isamashii clan specialized in assassinations and ambushes, making them a nightmare for anyone unfortunate to be their target, whether it be human or demon alike. "After the demonic conversion event and humanity had no more enemies, they turn to the one enemy they were accustomed to before the demons arrived, each other." Remarked Aina as sh
"Aniko, is that you? It can't be." Remarked Kiyoshi to himself as the person standing in front of him was no longer Aina, the fallen warrior of Uragiri, but someone else. Standing before him was a woman with piercing green eyes, and long blackish brown hair with a pink flower. She was also of Japanese descent but look to be in her late thirties as well. Kiyoshi continued calling out for the strange woman who, out of the blue, replacing Aina in Kiyoshi's mind. Aina, seeing the opportunity to strike due to Kiyoshi's sudden change in mental state, launches toward him, determined to finish him off quickly. But even with Aina closing in on him, Kiyoshi could only visualize the other woman coming toward him. As he calls her name repeatedly, over and over Aniko Aniko as his mind becomes trapped within itself. Realizing Kiyoshi's mental state and the coming problem, Aina will be. Lilly and Tyrook cry out for Kiyoshi to snap out of it but are drawn out because of Kiyoshi repeatedly calling o
With the powerful surge of demonic power emerging from Aina's body increased in force, the animals of the forest evacuated, as the aura could be felt and seen even by the people of Uragiri. "What is this feeling and what are those lights emitting from the forest?" "I don't know, but I don't know like the feeling of this". Remarked people of the town as they try to figure out what's going on in the out shirks of the town. Even within the depths of Kiyoshi's psyche, Kiyoshi himself was terrified for the first time in a long while of an opponent. As the surge of demonic power calm down, Kiyoshi could finally see his new opponent standing in front of him. In front of him stood the new and deadlier Aina. She stood in front of her foe with her four feet long sword with its long thin black blade. The Mempo mask containing the demon commander Fukuji- Kuharibu was now more visible to Kiyoshi due to the mist subsiding. A red mist surrounded the fangs of the mask as if blood was running down
With a devilish grin, Aina unleashes another wave of demonic aura, blowing Kiyoshi back. The fresh surge of demonic energy quickly overpowers both Kiyoshi and the environment itself. As everything surrounds Aina seems to bend to her will, even just for a moment. As her power rages on, the Mempo mask begins to change color to a dull reddish-orange color as it slowly grows to cover Aina's face completely. Two large ram-like horns protrude from the mask, as it completely covers Aina's face. Suddenly and without warning, an enormous explosion emits under Aina's feet as the overwhelming demonic energy continues to flow from her body. Dust and smoke fill the air as blocks visible for both warriors. But even though Kiyoshi could not see Aina in front of him, He knew deep down something was terribly wrong and that somehow the tide of battle changed drastically. With the dust settled, Kiyoshi could finally confirm his doubts as Aina's figure becomes more visible as time goes by. With the dust
With a powerful swing of her sword, Aina attempts to behead Kiyoshi but was stopped by an unknown force. "What is this unnatural force blocking my attack?" Shouted Aina as she tries to finish her assault on Kiyoshi. As she continues to try beheading him, a multitude of shadowy tendrils dart out from the ground beneath them and attacked Aina. Aina pushes herself back with her wings, blocking the tendrils with her sword as they chased her, attacking her from every direction until she was several hundred feet away from Kiyoshi. With Kiyoshi slowly getting up, Aina tries to surprise attack him but is halted as the shadow tendrils keep her from attacking. As they pursue and attack her from different vantage points, keeping her on the defensive. "Thanks for the save, but I don't want you interfering in our fight anymore. Ok, Kivuli." Remarked Kiyoshi as he regains his footing. "She was about to kill you, Kiyoshi. I had to do something. Clearly, you can't beat her at this rate." replied K
Kiyoshi turns around, but no one is there. But yet she continues hearing someone gently and loving call his name. "Who is that? I must find whoever is calling me". Remarked Kiyoshi as he was drawn to the voice calling out to him. As if his life depended on it, Kiyoshi took off with a burst of speed. His injuries and wounds healed as if they were never been there, which was a remarkable feat even with his demonic healing. But Kiyoshi didn't notice his injuries were gone. His mind was only focused on the voice continuously calling out to him over and over. Kiyoshi, Kiyoshi, the voice called out to him. Hitting him gently in his ears like a cherry blossom petal touching his skin. Kiyoshi ran through the forest as the moonlight shone upon him as if it was following him through his journey. The air was quiet and still unnatural so but Kiyoshi gave nothing any mind besides the voice. Somehow it was unknown to him, yet so familiar to him, but he couldn't remember from where. As he had bee
Kiyoshi enters the huge wooden door. Inside was a long hallway made of dirt and concrete. On both sides of the hallway was nothing but darkness as Kiyoshi ventured down to the other side.After several minutes, Kiyoshi was at another wooden door, but this one was much smaller than the first one. Kiyoshi whispers a chant to the door and it slowly opens, allowing Kiyoshi inside.On the other side of the door was a massive room and contained in the room was a giant, humanoid creature. The massive creature was at least three kilometers in height. Its body was covered in blue and green scales. Its right like was that of deer whilst its left leg was that of a T-Rex. On its back were two large bat-like wings at least one kilometer in wingspan. The arms were long and sported sharp, long, black claws. The creature had no facial features besides one massive eye in the center of where its face would have been.The massive eye was closed as it appeared the creature was sleeping, no more like deac
As the figure comes down the stairway, Kiyoshi observes the person who attacked him previously with such a power attack. The figure turns out to be a beautiful woman in her early twenties of Asian descent. Her long blackish-purple hair was pulled into a ponytail with a white ribbon. Her skin was clean and flawless and the sunlight reflected perfectly off her skin. Her eyes were a sapphire blue that captivated the young samurai in their beauty, even if it was just for a moment. A cute round nose and a set of full lips that were covered in black lipstick complimented her beautiful eyes.She wore a long white kimono with white socks and sandals. In her left hand was a spear with a wooden stick and a large triangle tip. At the button of the spear tip were five feathers tied with string, two black and three white, all with a small coconut-like fruit that shook as she came down the step.As she came down the stairway, all the monks gathered themselves on opposite sides of the stairway and b
Several days later, as Kiyoshi nears his destination, he seems to get opposition from Lilly, Tyrook, and Kivuli as to the mission destination."Kiyo, are you sure you heard Sairon correctly as to where this mission is taking place," Lilly asked with a concerned tone of voice, to which Kiyoshi replied yes the northern light temple you were there when he said it. You all were there stop acting like we are not going the correct way."I knew it, that bastard Sairon is sending Kiyoshi to his death. After years of using the kid now he sends him to the northern light temple to die that bastard and the poor kid is going all with it clueless to the painful end that is about to meet him."Tyrook shouted while also cursing Sairon's name in an unknown demonic tongue."I hope you're not trying to put a dark spell on my master Tyrook. And relax master Sairon will never do anything to put me in harm's way the fact that the mission is located in the northern light temple just amplifies how serious it
With the horde of the undead slowly coming towards them. Kiyoshi approached Jin seemed too overwhelmed by the experience dropping to his knees and placing his swords on the ground."Are you ok? One minute you seem ready for battle now you looked defeated." Kiyoshi remarked looking down at Jin and waiting for him to reply."No am not. I knew these men. I watched them die and could do anything to save them. Now you wanted me to kill them again that bitch I will never forgive her for this. But I just can't kill them a second time my guilt wouldn't let me. Please understand." Jin replied as tears streamed from his eyes."Don't you worry I will finish this in seconds just sit there and watch." Shouted Kiyoshi as his sword suddenly was set ablaze, to the shock and disbelief of Jin.With lightning speed, Kiyoshi rushed toward the horde."What move are you going use on them?" Lilly asked. "The Doragonfenikkusuu~orutsu." Kiyoshi replied he cut through the horde of the undead in a serpent-like
"Am not going to ask you again, why did you kill those people?", Kiyoshi asked enraged and Deliah stood there in silence."I was going to let you live but your too smart for your own good," Deliah whispered before attacking Kiyoshi and slashing a huge hole in his chest before Kiyoshi could react properly. As Kiyoshi lay on the ground bleeding deeply from the hole in his chest Deliah transformed in front of him from a cute little to girl a deadly woman as she licked Kiyoshi's blood from her hands. As she transformed her hair grew longer and nine white fox tails with golden tips emerged from her back, she laughed as Kiyoshi gasped for air." Normal I would let my prey die slowly and painfully, it's more fun that way", Deliah giggled. " But like I said before I was planning on letting you live but you just had to be too smart for your own good so I will make your death quick since you were such a gentleman to me." Deliah continued as she made her way to Kiyoshi with her tails pointed at
The nightmares soon turned into night terrors as the vivid pictures of a young Kiyoshi being bullied by young boys by the river grew sharper and sharper inside Kiyoshi's head. Suddenly creepy hands appear out of the depths of the river but unlike the past nightmares, the identities of the entities behind the hands were finally revealed. Pure black humanoid creatures emerged out of the water. The creatures resemble Kivuli as they were faceless and pure black in color. But unlike Kivulo who was made out of shadows, these creatures were made of a thick black fluid that dripped off of them.They also had three horns on their heads and bat-like wings on their bats and a pair of smaller wings on their heels as well as a long dragon-like tail. Before too long there were at least one hundred of them as they quickly emerged out of the water. The creatures turned to Kiyoshi before turning to the boys that were bullying him, who were now frozen in fear by the monsters in front of them. Before ei
A few days later Kiyoshi could be found resting under a large maple tree in the middle of a savannah around by forest. Smiling while listening to the various birds sings in the branches above him. When suddenly a loud commotion could be heard and as the noises grew closer Kiyoshi could make out the sound of a little girl crying and begging for help.Hearing the desperate cries of a little girl Kiyoshi stands to his feet and looks around for the source of the commotion. Then all of a sudden an ominous silence filled the air before something flew out of the bushes. Out of the blue two people ran out one was a little girl with blood running down her right arm and the next was a man with two blood-stained swords.The man who was clearly chasing the girl had reddish-orange hair with complimented his light green eyes. He wore and torn-up brown and black kimono. As he chased the little swinging his sword with usual hatred and killing intent, especially since his target was a little girl.His
The man slowly walked among the other peacemakers before standing in front of them with his back against them and his eyes fixed on Kiyoshi. He stood out from the rest of the peacemakers. Besides his unique armor, he was incredibly gorgeous. With his spiky long dark brown hair and light green eyes complimented by flawless skin and a perfect smile gave him the appearance of a lead singer in a K-pop band than a commander in an army. "Dear people of this town we the peacemakers how come to free you from the curse of No man's land at least. But we now realize a greater threat here among you all." The man remarked as he gently rub his hands on his flawless face before continuing. "You there with the child, is the blood samurai holding you and your kid hostage? That fiend!" The man remarked as both Bella and Leon look and at Kiyoshi terrified of the situation that they are in. But before either Bella or Leon could answer the man Kiyoshi drew his sword and swung it at Leon cutting him on h
"Otto, are you ok?" Kiyoshi asked relieved that Otto had returned to help him."Forget about me am already dead now its time to attack him, so if you have a powerful attack do It now." Shouted Otto as the creature continued trashing about in pain.Without hesitation, Kiyoshi leaped into action and attacked the creature. Using a smooth spiral attack which cut the creature in between the creature's plates in its armor and creating a black vortex of flames as he did it. As Kiyoshi stood next to Otto they notice that several of the creature's armored plates fell off but the damage that Kiyoshi had done to it wasn't enough to seriously injure it. Noticing this Kiyoshi immediately launched an attack but it was too late the creature had already gained back its eyesight and was on the warpath. Enrage the creature began destroying everything around him in an attempt to kill both Kiyoshi and Otto for what they had done to it. Both in its past life and now that it is undead. As both Kiyoshi a
"The general? Why is the general coming and why is he a gigantic monster?" Kiyoshi asked as the creature closed in on them, smashing and moving trees as come."He is looking for me. Since we have been here, the general has been looking for me and I don't know why he transformed since he is the only person that did inside here, but what I do know is that it is me he is after." Remarked Otto as both he and Kiyoshi prepare themselves for battle by hiding Leon under the roots of the massive oak tree."He must want revenge since you are the one that killed him". Laughed Kiyoshi as he placed his menpo back on his face."Even in death he is blood cra", but Otto didn't get to finish his sentence as a huge creature hang above them.Both Kiyoshi and Otto moved to higher grounds to observe the creature as well as moved the battle away from Leon. When the two arrived, they stood in shock. The creature above them was a giant centipede at least four hundred feet in length.The massive creature had
