[indent] Feeling the air re-enter her lungs, Ren took several deep breathes, coughing and trying to regain her focus. It was as if he had cut off all blood flow to her head. Her attention was slowly coming back, and she could feel the warm embrace of someone’s arms, and the feeling of something in her own arms. The Chowa, she recognized it as she took a firm grasp of the staff. And the warmth… Raiko? She could feel the tears forming in her eyes again. She was so blinded by her need for revenge towards Ryoshi, she had completely missed this whole time that the mischievous young demon was… Rakio. She felt foolish and embarrassed by it all, no very much like a priestess. Then ren felt it, the rushing, surging energy that was flowing out of Raiko. Normally it would threaten and scare Ren, but for some reason she felt safe in it. No, not some reason- she knew exactly why. It was the protection of her best friend, and Ren finally had him back, after all this time. It felt as if she didn’t even have a minute to embrace him, and enjoying being reunited with him when Ryoshi mentioned the village, and both Ren and Raiko turned their attention towards the billowing cloud of smoke in the distance. Ren could feel her heart sinking in her chest, as her hand shot up to the dragon tooth that hung around her neck. That was her village. That was Seiki in the distance. Nothing needed to be said, as Ren kept a strong grip on Raiko as to not fall from his arms. Though now, she felt as if he wouldn’t just suddenly drop her, that she was cemented to his body. But her concern rested on the village. Had it been a mistake for her to leave? Should she have stayed a few more days? She may not have been able to find Raiko then but, at least she would have been doing her duty? Speaking of which, she only felt more disappointed in herself. Her whole life destiny was to banish out the demons of Japan, and already she had only banished out a lesser, animalistic demon. She has already encountered an army’s worth in a single day, and couldn’t do anything about it. Her hand moved to her neck, still feeling Ryoshi’s lasting grip on it. She didn’t want to return to be a disappointment to Tanaka. But at the same time, as they drew closer and the smell of smoke from burning buildings intensified, she knew she had to be here. At the entrance of the village, Ren jumped from Raiko’s arms and charged in, staff at the ready. A few of the village’s men had their swords and spears drawn. All of them looked really scuffed up, and one by one it seemed their faces lit up at the arrival of Ren. [b]“Ren! Than goodness you have returned! The village is under attack by a large demon!”[/b] One of the men shouted, Ren could feel the Chowa radiating energy. Something was close, and it was big. [color=pink]“Where is Taiki and Tanaka?”[/color] Ren demanded and the villagers pointed in the direction of the nearby woods. [b]“They both chased the demon into the woods, just before you arrived. You must hurry. They are both severely injured.”[/b] Ren could feel her heart racing in her chest, full of worry for both Tanaka and Taiki in the woods, turning towards Raiko, the tears continuing to form in the corner of her eyes. [color=pink]“Raiko, let’s go!”[/color] Ren yelled back, charging into the forest without much of a second thought. Little did she know, she was about to charge right into the demon’s own trap. Tanaka and Taiki stood in the center of the woods, Taiki brandishing swords in both his hands and Tanaka holding her own personal staff. One much weaker than the Chowa, but still not something to laugh at. The two were panting heavily, several cuts and lacerations across their arms, legs, faces, and chests. Tanaka was using the staff to support her weight. Without it, she would have already collapsed. [b]“Don’t give up on my now Priestess Tanaka. You know I can’t banish out this thing. I can only hold it off for so long.”[/b] Taiki winced slightly, feeling the blood rushing from many of his wounds, especially from a large cut going across his chest. Tanaka began to shake and fell to her knees, shaking her head. [b]“I can’t, Taiki… I’m so sorry…”[/b] Taiki glanced over his shoulders at Tanaka as she fell to the ground, at the same time, he heard rustling through the branches, and he charged past Tanaka. [b]“Die demon!”[/b] He raised both his swords, but rather than a demon appearing from the trees and brush, Ren appeared, wielding the Chowa. It was giving off more intense energy to the closer she moved in on the circle, and Taiki froze up seeing her, taking in a sharp breath, his eyes not leaving the dragon tooth hanging around her neck. He only hoped it would be enough to protect her. For the first time ever, Ren saw an emotion across Taiki’s face. Though it wasn’t a smile or laugh as she had always hoped. This time, it looked like pure fear. [b]“Ren… Ren! It isn’t safe here. Go back to the vill-“[/b] But his cry was cut short as something pounced from the other side of the field. A short demon, with hair like flames and burning red eyes, charging towards the group. In his hand he wielded a sword that was encased in flames, a demonic, evil grin spreading on his lips. [b]“Finally! The great True Priestess has arrived to save her home and family. A little too late, don’t you think, Priestess?”[/b] The demon raised his sword, bringing it down on Ren. She threw up her Chowa, holding it in both hands to block the slash of an attack. Ren couldn’t hold off the attack much longer, as her physical strength was weak compared to her spiritual. But she locked eyes with the demon, trying to push him away. [color=pink]“How dare you attack my home! I will personally see to it that you rot in hell!”[/color] Ren clenched her teeth, gripping the Chowa tighter to hold him back.
