Early the next morning, the two stroll through a densely packed jungle as they make their way to their destination. The jungle was thick and full of life as the pair could hear various and marvelous sounds coming from every direction. Hours passed and their movements through the jungle seemed to have no end in sight. In frustration at the endless traversing, Lilly looks up into the sky and notices something strange.
Wooden houses littered the treetops with poorly made bridges of vine and sticks connecting them. "Strange looks like an entire village up there," Lilly proclaimed as she looks on in curiosity. But before Kiyoshi could look up, there were surrounded. Little brown skin people covered the trees with at least one hundred of them being present. Huge brownish-black oval masks with blue, red, and orange patterns covered their faces and bodies. Their masks were so huge that only their arms and legs could be visible. The strange miniature people quickly enclosed Kiyoshi an
The two arrived in the fishing village of Nghe'o. A poor fishing village with a small community of no more than two hundred people. The village was filled with dilapidated wooden shacks and structures that littered the shoreline of the sea. Only a few structures were built on land as ninety-five percent of the population were fishers as even the soil quality was poor and hardly anything grew besides weeds. The villagers, even though poor, looked contented and even happy with their quality of life as the children run and play in the streets. The women gossip and cook in their homes and the men pull in fish from their small wooden boats. Most of them wore brown torn pieces of clothing weaved together to make clothing.The pair quickly braced fishermen to escort them to their location. But all of them refused, stating that the journey was too dangerous to take the job. Only one man was willing to take Kiyoshi and Lilly up on their offer. A man by the name of Bach, a middle-aged
As the figure came closer, the gang could see that it was a man of Caucasian descent who had on a bright blue and green tropical shirt and camo shorts. With the stranger, feet away from Kiyoshi and Lilly, Negesi, with an amazing burst of speed, dashes over to the strange and braces them with warmth and adoration. Kiyoshi and Lilly ready themselves for a confrontation, but before weapons could be drawn, the strange man puts out his hand and remarks that he didn't know humans were capable of caring for anything but themselves.That when it dawned on both Kiyoshi and Lilly that this must be Negesi uncle and one they were supposed to meet here. "Your the one we are supposed to meet, aren't you?" Asked Kiyoshi as he and the strange man's eyes met. "Yes, my name is Lord Abdimelech, Cheif advisor to the new King and former brother to the old one. I am guessing you are the humans entrusted to protect young master Negesi from hunters, correct?" Replied the strange man. "If what
As the battle between Kiyoshi and the brothers continues, Reeks looks on with his nerves falling apart. As the tide of the battle seemed to change in the enemy's favor. Gin charges toward Kiyoshi, swinging his chained blade in crazy and unpredictable directions. Making it hard for Kiyoshi to determine the target of the attack which resulted in Gin cutting Kiyoshi in the forehead. With blood dripping from his forehead, Kiyoshi bows his head as he stares at the ground. The three brothers looked at each with smiles on their faces as their enemy standstill as if defeated. "Looks like he has come to terms with this being his final destination," laughed Kinpachi as the brother get ready to overpower Kiyoshi for one last attack. Before their plan could be put into action, loud and sinister laughter could be heard. The three men turned around to see that their supposedly fallen foe has burst out in a grand laugh. "What are you laughing at?" shouted Gin as he and his brother
As Kiyoshi traverses through a swamp to his new mission. He recalls the information that Sairon gave him about the mission. "If I recall masters correctly, my new mission is in the town of Uragiri. From what the master said, there is a mysterious warrior preventing people from leaving and entering the town. And they need me to investigate why the person is attacking them and stop them if necessary." Remarked Kiyoshi to himself as he leaves the swamp and walks down the roadway into the town. As Kiyoshi walks down the roadway, he sees the sun beginning to set as the day comes to an end. As he continues on his way, a deep and mysterious mist covers his surroundings, making visibility next to impossible. With visibility next to nothing, Kiyoshi still journeys on when he sees an unknown figure standing in front of him. Even with the thick foggy mist decreasing his eyesight, he can see that the figure was wielding a sword. "So they sent a child to kill me? You're no older
"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
