Demon Saga

         The crash of the waves hit against the shore as hido’s boat arrives to the mainland of Kigorashi. Off in the distance Hido sees the image of two men, one sitting with a fishing pole, the other standing next to him deep in conversation. Neither men notice the boat coming ever closer to them.
         Hido’s boat hits shore and startles the two men.
         “Who are you kind stranger? Where do you travel from,” the first me asks
         “Answer the chief with respect, kneel down before giving your explanation,” the second man grumbled
         Hidokage stands there in the boat as if not listening he looks around as if trying to decide which way to go.
         “You cur, how dare you disrespect the Chief by ignoring him! You will…” As the man talks he unsheathes his sword.
         “Who do you think you’re talking to?” Hido interrupts. “You show me disrespect then expect for me to give you or your Chief respect.” Hido steps off the boat past the two men and continues his way.
         “You bastard, you will die for your disrespect!” the second man exclaims.
         The man full draws his sword and swings to cut Hido. Hido steps to the side to dodge but does not turn around.
         “If you continue your actions you will die. I’m not normally this kind but honestly.” Hido looks back out of the corner of his eye. “I’d rather not sully my hands with the blood of suck a nobody.” The cold glare from Hido’s eye stuns the man and starts to make him shake with fear. Hido knew why. At the moment Hido’s temper was not settling so the man could see the glow in his eye. The glow of a demons eye. The eerie green glow disappears as Hido’s head turns back around and he walks off.
         “Monster…We can not allow a demon to just walk into our lands. Turn back and travel else where.” The Chief shakily demands.
         “I have business on these lands so if you want me gone,” Hido turns, “and then you will to kill me, if you can.”
         The Chief stands and reveals a giant sword Hido over looked. The Chief draws his weapon. The sword immediately starts emitting a powerful aura all around it. As he raises it the aura’s pressure increases.
         Demon be gone!” the Chief Bellows.
         The Chief slashes down releasing a blast of energy in the shape of a crescent moon. Hido jumps high up and over the air, easily avoiding the blast.
         “You mean to banish me for who I am. Yet you yourself wield a demon sword,” Hido retorts.
         Hido analyzes the blast as he spins in the air to turn around. The blast falls lower; slicing through the air, then with a loud bang hits a boulder and destroys it. As Hido lands behind the Chief he whispers in his ear: “A weak one at that, but it will do for now.”
         With that Hido reaches through the Chiefs body with a forceful jab of his hand and grabs is sword by the base of the blade. The Chief goes limp and Hido throws him off his arm. Cutting him in two as the blade runs through his body.
         Soaked with the Chiefs blood and still a bit irritated of the two men, Hido glares at the second man who has now clearly pissed himself and tells him, “Start running!”
         The man doesn’t hesitate. He gets up and hauls ass. Hido looks down at the sword that he still has gripped by the base of the blade. He throws it in the air, and then jumps with it. He grabs the hilt, and then slashes twice through the air sending two crescent crossed beams aimed straight at the running man. Hido lands as the blast hits and rips the mans body apart.
         “Will do…for now.”
         Hido heads to the village. He looks down at the splattered remains of the villager he used his new sword on. “Damage such as this would only be able to kill weak demons. I’d do better using my own claws for stronger ones.”
         Hido continues on to the small village.
         “This place wouldn’t take long to pass through…but I’m going to need to stop and see if any of these kind villagers could tell me where I am and how to get to Nasayho Mountain. Where I might be able to meet up with some of my clan so I can make it back…Damn! All I can think about is how did they sneak in and get rid of me like that. When I get back to my clan, the Rishine clan will die at my hand…I’m sure my family stopped the intruders and killed them so I’ve lost out on killing them, but I can I take their clan instead for attacking my family.”
         Hido walk into the entrance of the village only to be stopped by two guards.
         “Halt, strange, where do you venture from,” A guard inquires.
         “Shit…lo…look at his hand. He’s covered in blood…wasn’t the chief out there by the shore?” a second younger guard stammers.
         “Don’t move!” The first guard orders while reaching for his sword. Hido grabs his hand trapping it effortlessly.
         “Yes I killed your chief, and he was much stronger than you are trust me. So don’t be foolish enough to meet his same demise.” Hido threatens.
         The guards freeze in terror.
         “Good…now, if you want to save your precious village I need to know a couple of things and I’ll let you escort me through the village and leave. If not I slaughter your village until someone can tell me what I need to know,” Hido states coolly.
         The guards nod and Hido lets the first guards hand go.
         “Two questions…First, where am I? And second how do you get to Nasayho Mountain,” Hido asks conversationally.
         The guards give Hido the information he needs and then Hido walks off through the village followed by the guard five feet behind him.
         They get to the end of the village and the guards run off and close the gates behind them. Hido heads west toward Nasayho Mountain from what the village said.
         “If they lied I shall burn their village to the ground.” Hido grumbles
         Hido looks at the instructions the guard wrote down on a scroll.
         “Lets see, West through sayko springs, then north through two villages, ryusu and Kensu, then North West for five days, damn, and according to them taking a wagon this should take at least a month to arrive there. On top of all that, I don’t know how long I was out for until I woke up on that island. Damn the Rishine. They will pay! So I was out for at least a month to get me here to Kigorashi. The boat ride was a day and nights time, I have a ways to go I better get started.”
         Hido continues to walk. “No need to rush I guess.” Hido gazes up at the sky. “I’ll see you soon Angelica. Just wait for me, my love.”


Chapter 2

         “Adachi, Adachi! We need to stop.” Angelica commands.
         “Never, those bastards will pay for what they did. They destroyed my family, yours, our entire clan is dead because of the Rishine! To top it all off they kidnapped my best friend and your fiancé, or do you not care about Hido anymore,” Adachi says.
         “You know I do, don’t pull that bullshit with my Adachi. Yes I’m worried and yes I want to kill those bastards, but look back.” Angelica demands.
         Satsuki one of the last remaining members of the Sonsaku family and Adachi’s brother was inured in the raid of the Rishine clan and is starting to slow way down. Satsuki stops and collapses on the ground. Angelica stops and runs back to satsuki to help him.
         “Adachi get back here!” she screams.
         Adachi stops’, hesitating, then runs back to satsuki.
         “Whets wrong…oh shit,” he exclaims.
         Adachi looks down at satsuki and notices the hole in his gut. Satsuki has lost a lot of blood and has lost almost all the color in his body. Angelica analyzes him and realizes that it is too late to save him.
         “He’s going to die any minute. There’s…nothing either of us can do at this point,” angelica states.
         Adachi’s anger grows as he kneels down and holds his brother as he breathes his last breath. Satsuki’ body goes limp and Adachi lowers him down. Adachi stands, his fury raging, then he turns around and runs toward where the assassins of the Rishine clan where headed, leaving even Angelica behind, with no chance to catch up.
