The Mysterious Murderous Man
Kyo and her mother were walking down the street after going to another town to shop. Kyo looked at her mother and smiled “Mommy, when is daddy coming back from the war?” She said in a cheerful voice. Her mother looked at her and slightly smiled and replied to her three-year old daughter. “Honey I really don’t know when, but I hope soon.” She took her hand and stared ahead and saw some smoke over the hill. She didn’t panic and told Kyo softly “Kyo why don’t you quickly run back to Grandma? I think I forgot something there.” Kyo had a confused look, but agreed and headed back. Kyo finally made it and here Grandma came running out. “Are you ok child were is your mother?” Kyo looked and told her Grandma that her mother said she had forgot something. Her Grandma looked at her with a scared face. “My dear little girl she didn’t..didn’t your mother tell you? Someone has set your town a fire ” Kyo had a horrified look on her face “M-mommy ” Kyo ran of towards her town again this time making it over the hill and she looked down on her burning town and saw that her house was to. “No Mommy, Konoru, baby sister sister ” She ran inside her burning house putting her kimono’s sleeve over her mouth. “Mommy ” She looked around frantically and saw her on the floor with blood all over her. “M-mommy Are you ok? ” She said running to her side. “M-mommy....” Then suddenly a giant sword went through her back. Kyo had a look of horror as she looked up. The man had an evil grin on his face as he looked upon her. “Foolish girl...your poor mother she and her family begged for mercy. As you can see I didn’t give any ” He laughed hysterically and grabbed Kyo be the neck. He looked very concerned and dropped her “I will need you later girl I can sense your power.” Kyo looked confused and looked at him “What power? What are you talking about mister?” She looked around and he was by the door. “Good-bye girl...I will see you later in life, until then I will need to get stronger or you will regret it.” He disappeared and the house was starting to cave in and she covered her head as a big piece of wood hit her “AHHHH I got to get out of here ” Kyo looked back at her family and cried as she ran out. She got outside just before it all caved in. Kyo looked upon her ruined town. Everyone she knew gone...everyone she loved was gone forever. Kyo got up though her wounds were fatale she continued, blood dripping down around her leaving a trail of blood behind her.
Kyo walked until she got to another town. She was surprised she got this far with her wounds. Her flower kimono covered in blood. She got into the town everyone backed away from her and whispering things about her. A little girl ran towards her and had tears in her eyes. “Are you ok?” Her mother came over to her and slapped her. “You know better than to communicate with hal- breeds ” The mother stomped off mad as any mother would be and everyone got away from her. A man spoke aloud and made fun of her “Look here A dirty little half-breed Go back to where you came from ” Kyo looked up and cried and thought to herself Why does everyone hate me? Kyo continued walking toward the end of the town. Then a woman yelled out, “How dare you treat a young child so badly She is only a young girl ” Everyone one looked at the woman and one yelled out “Look it is that strange woman who takes in wounded demons and outsiders ” She ignored them and picked up Kyo, “It is going to be ok child...” Kyo looked down at the puddle of blood on the ground just for standing there. “I am afraid I won’t life I have lost too much blood.” Kyo said as she looked into the woman’s eyes. The woman smiled and replied “It is ok, you won’t die.” The woman carried her to her house on the other side of town and the woman went inside. She laid Kyo down on a mat on the floor and took her kimono off. “Now we don’t want to be covered in blood all day do you?” She folded the flower kimono over her arms and headed outside. She came back and looked at Kyo and smiled sweetly. Kyo looked at her and closed her eyes as she began to fall asleep. It was the next day when she awoke and saw the woman cooking something and she turned around and smiled “I am glad you are awake...” she came next to her and gave Kyo her flower kimono. “Here put this on dear.” Kyo grabbed it and out it on. “There now you look pretty than ever, now go wash up and breakfast will be ready in about five minutes.” Kyo ran off to the bathroom and grabbed the cloth on the rack, she began to wash her face and looked in the mirror. She pulled her kimono and saw the bloody bandages. “Hmmmm...” She thought, “I can’t be here forever, I have to find the person who killed my parents...” He said he wanted me stronger...and that is what I’ll have to do... Kyo finished up and headed in the main room. “You all finished dear?” She said putting down plates. Kyo looked up and nodded and sat down in the chair. “Here you go...” She set down a plate and Kyo stared at it. She had never saw this kind of food. She stared at it. It seemed to be good and after she finished she got up and headed toward the bed. She pulled out a necklace and put it around her neck. “What is that necklace?” She said staring at it. “Oh, this?” Kyo said holding it in her hands. “My mother gave this to me...” She said with a sad expression “And now, she is dead ” Kyo cried into her hands and the woman came running and hugging her “It’s ok dear, see my parents were murdered too so it’ll be ok.” She said while letting go and smiling. Kyo who seemed to fell her warmth in her heart and smiled back though the pain unbearable she sat on the rug near the fireplace. She was wondering how she would get stronger....just how. Her wounds were fatal and she didn’t want to leave...what was she going to do? She walked up to the lady crying and told her, her whole story. The woman pulled her close and began to cry too. “My dear, you have been through so much for such a little girl...” Kyo looked up and saw the gleam in her eyes “Could you help me get stronger?” She said. The woman looked at her and smiled “No, I can’t, but I know someone who can...but you need to stay here until your older and more of a woman.” Kyo smiled and got in bed “I am going to get better and stronger too ”
Kyo: Age 16
Kyo walked around in the forest with a sword attached to her back. “I knew it I am finally on my way to become stronger and beat the person who killed my parents...” She silenced for she heard a rustle in the trees. A demon lunged at her with incredible force and came upon her. A shining light surrounded the demon and it flew into the air. Kyo then jumped up and pulled out the sword on her back, and she slashed it in mid-air and the demon’s parts flew in every direction except where Kyo was because she had but a light barrier around herself. When she put it down there was blood everywhere and she smirked. “The next demon who is to challenge me, shall die. I am not wasting my energy in pitiful demons such as yourselves...” She nudged the demon’s head with her foot and used her powers to disintegrated it, purifying it as well. “Such demons...there are mere humans to me...though...the demon I shall face later...is much stronger...and harder to beat...” She put her sword away and fixed her hair. “I need to get to town before Mama....figures I am out training again...” Kyo sighed and leaped in the trees toward town.
Kyo got to town just in time to see her ‘mama’ there. “Hi Mama...what are you doing here?” She said rubbing the back of her head and ‘sweat dropping’. Her Mother eyed her suspiciously “Why are you so late?” She raised an eyebrow and smirked at her. Kyo tried to hid her blood covered sword but didn’t have any luck hiding it. “You were out training again...weren’t you.” The woman said and putting her hands on her hips. Kyo sighed and smirked “Yeah I was out training ‘mama’ I want to get stronger...how am I supposed to do that when I have to go to town and get...” She cut off for she knew she shouldn’t go any farther. The woman looked at her then smiled “I know, you have to get stronger...” She started to look worried “I am just thinking about what happened to you when you where three...I am sorry.” A immediate flashback came back to Kyo and she looked down. “I am sorry too, I shouldn’t be doing this without your permission...” Tears streamed down her face and the woman came up to her and hugged her. “You go one home and get ready for supper, I continue to get the stuff we need. Ok?” Kyo nodded and smiled at her then headed home.
