The day stared off warm and inviting. a gentle breeze blowing across a sun streaked valley. A man dressed in red armor, the kanji symbol fore 'fire' embedded in the breat plate, led an army of soldiers who had just had a very promising victory. The sun started to set slowly behind, casting a forbaboding crimson color around them. As they neared the exit to the valley, the general raised an arm, his eyes catching a figure by the stream flowing steadly by them. a small child sat there, kneeling beside the waterm soft whimpers leaving his/her mouth, their body covered by a black cloak, concealing the figures identity.
Jumping from his horse, the general made his over towards the child, casting a look of sympathy towards them. Taking his helmet off, he stood behind the child carefully, keeping some distance between them as the whimpers gradually stopped.
"What ails you child? why are you alone on this bank? Where are your parents?"he asked gently. The figure moved a little, and tilted the head towards the right, sighing gently and turning so the side of their cheek was visible."i have no parents, and I'm not alone......my brothers just aren't here.....yet."the girl responded, her tone low and timid. Yet for some unknown reason, the mere sound of her voice put the general on edge. She couldn't be anymore then a child, maybe just entering her years of womanhood. Yet there was something that didn't seem exactly right with her.
Looking on curiously, he stepped a little closer, feeling a violent auara around her for some reason."Come with me little one. you will be safe among my troops."he said, his voice warm and inviting, yet there was a part that seemed to be on edge. His arm reached out to touch her, but she recoiled and moved away, hiding her face once more. "stay away."she insisted, but the general ignored the order, making further advances.
"Show me your face little one, and come with me, you need help."He said. The girl only giggled, turning around fully and standing up. The general was by now suspicious, his arm suddenly on the hilt of his katana"Tell me what is you name and why you are alone."He demanded, raising his katana quickly, pointing it at her.""Hmmmm, my name is none of your concern, and i came here to meet you silly man." Her voice was even more eager, but there was more to it, the sudden want for more lingered. "Me need help...no you have is backwards...."She giggled. Her body and head was covered by the cloak. she raised her head, showing the face of a girl, with deadly red eyes looking into the generals own."It is you who will need help"she hissed softly. the general recoiled, looking at her with suddenly ferice eye"DEMON!!"
