[indent] Taiki was exceptionally reluctant to leave the presence of Ren. But the silver haired boy was right. Tanaka was not doing good, and she needed to be attended to immediately. However, Taiki had a bad feeling that the only ones who would be capable of attending to the wounds of Tanaka would be herself or Ren. [i]Be safe, Ren…[/i] He thought to himself, carrying the warry Tanaka into the village and finding a hut that was not burned to the ground to lay her on a soft bed. Tanaka stirred slightly from the pain, taking in a sharp breath. It was becoming more difficult for her to withstand the pain. [b]“Taiki, go to the temple. Grab two small vials, one pink, one blue, and bring them to me…”[/b] Taiki nodded and was quick to his feet, running to the temple. As worried as he was for Tanaka’s safety, it tore deeply in his own chest to have left Ren alone. Well, technically she wasn’t alone. There was that mysterious silver haired boy who was with her… Who was oddly so familiar. Why had Taiki been so quick to trust him?... Who was that boy? Taiki looked up at the sky, where the stars were beginning to scatter the navy sky, as if he could find an answer among them. With the sun setting, the open field was illuminated by the energy of the two demons. Ren was just feeling the muscles in her arms begin to give up. The demon was too physically powerful to withstand. Damn, if only Taiki were here. He was so powerful, he would be able to push off this demon with ease. However, it was more important that Taiki brought Tanaka into the village. Besides, Ren luckily had the assistance of her long missed, beloved best friend. And, it was Raiko who intervened to knock back the demon on his butt into the field. With the heat of the flaming sword now gone, the air felt cold on her cheeks. The demon looked unconscious and Ren wielded the Chowa, feeling the warmth where the fire sword had just been making contact on the shaft of the staff. [color=pink]“Leave this world, De-“[/color] But before she could finish the statement, or raise her staff to fully point at the demon, he was back on his feet, and seemed to move faster than ever. But instead of wielding his sword, he had his hand open towards her. The nails grew sharp like claws, and there was fire now jumping at the tips of his fingers. Ren had no chance or reacting. In one swift sweep of the demon’s claws, five slashes sliced through Ren’s upper blouse, and five deep gashes were formed on her upper chest. One of the claws cutting the string to the necklace that Taiki had given her. The fire demon grabbed the dragon’s tooth swiftly, jumping up into the nearby trees and glancing over the artifact. [b]“Yes, this is it! Well, my mission was to retrieve this and terrorize the village. So with that- I say good bye!”[/b] And with the swift swinging of the fire demon’s blade, he seemed to vanish in a thick cloud of smoke. Ren fell to her knees, gripping onto the Chowa to hold her up from completely collapsing. Damnit! He got away. Ren moved her hand to her chest, feeling the burning and throbbing pain of the slashes across her chest, the front of her blouse now becoming blood soaked. When she moved her hand from her chest, she could already see her palm soaked with sticky red blood. Her hand gripped the Chowa, feeling her body shaking and tears continuing to form in her eyes. Tanaka was wrong. Ren was no True Priestess. She had been completely failing her entire life purpose thus far, and now Ren was sure that she was a failure. Lifting her head, she gave Raiko an apologetic look before falling over on the ground passing out. [b]“If you don’t get out of my face, I will punch you in it.”[/b] Ren opened her eyes. The village could be seen in the distance… and it wasn’t in ruins… and it was no longer the middle of the night. In fact, it seemed more like winter time as there was a thin layer of snow across the ground, and everyone around her was wearing thicker clothing. In front of her stood both Taiki and Raiko. Though, not as she had just seen them. They were all younger again, as if 10 or 11 years ago. The village wasn’t destroyed, had that just been all a dream? [color=#b5484b]“You and what army, Taiki. I can do what I want. And that includes pestering you.”[/color] The two younger versions of Taiki and Raiko both seemed to be exchanging glares of death at one another. But something about them being so young seemed amusing to Ren, and she lifted her small hand to her mouth, giggling. She instantly noticed the difference in her voice- she was young once again. But even this didn’t quite feel real. It felt too much like a memory, or maybe even a dream. [color=pink]“You two are silly!”[/color] Ren went into a full laugh, and both Taiki and Raiko looked over at Ren, no longer glaring at one another, as a pink blush seemed to dust both their cheeks, although it was less noticeable on Taiki. Yikes, even Taiki’s face was scary in their youth. [b]“Ren, why do you spend so much time with this jerk?”[/b] [color=#b5484b]“Takes one to know one.”[/color] Raikio rebutted, sticking his tongue out at Taiki. [color=pink]“Stop fighting already! It is freezing out here and I want to get back to the village, inside a house, and warm up by a fire. Can we get a move on already?”[/color] Ren went to take a step, but her feet felt as heavy as lead, as if she had been walking all day. Her chest had a weird throbbing pain too, and she moved her hand to her chest. [b]“Are you tired Ren? Let me carry you on my back.”[/b] Taiki began to approach Ren, but Raiko’s hand on Taiki’s shoulder quickly stopped him. [color=#b5484b]“No, I’ll carry Ren. You’re the one that always brags about being good at fighting. We need you on the defensive if any enemy appears.”[/color] Raiko taunted Taiki, stepping towards Ren to allow her to climb on his back. Taiki was quick to step up too, trying to push Raiko to the side. [b]“You idiot, you know there aren’t any enemies around.”[/b] Raiko clenched his teeth at Taiki’s sudden assault and jumped to his feet. [color=#b5484b]“Oh yeah, well you’re looking right at your enemy number one!”[/color] And with that, Raiko pounced on Taiko and the two rolled around in the snow, throwing punches and smacks, much like little kids lacking fighting coordination. Ren put her hands to her cheeks in shock and slightly paralyzed. Oh no, what was she going to do with these two? Ren whined, wrapping her arms around herself as if to attempt warming herself against the harsh winter air. [color=pink]“Guuuuys! Stop fighting!!”[/color] [/INDENT][center][h3][color=yellowgreen]❦[color=pink]❀[/color]┈┈┈┈[color=pink]❀[/color]┈┈┈┈[color=pink]❀[/color]┈┈┈┈[color=pink]❀[/color]┈┈┈┈[color=pink]❀[/color]┈┈┈┈[color=pink]❀[/color]┈┈┈┈[color=pink]❀[/color]❧[/color] [/h3][/center]
