Duty of Mine

[Yumi]

Stay out of this young one or I swear I'll rip your heart out with my own hands.this weird creature said to me. Oh Buddha, was this person crazy. He was the one that busted up in Sango's hut and bumped into her. He should be rude, he should be the one apologizing. "Listen up. You have no right telling me what to--,"Yumi said before she heard the clashing of metal.

I looked at the sword that the guy had brought out. It had a chained wrapped around it. I had seen that chain not to long ago. I thought for a moment and remembered. It was Ash-sans chain. I listened for him to say something and he did.

Alright, bud. Come outside and leave the women alone, and no one would be hurt.. His voice sounded different, deeper and more raspier. I looked out of the hut to seen a dark-eyed, grey skinned creature. It wasn't the Ash that I remembered, he still had the same Aura though so that was good. I smiled and waved at him before ducking my head back into the hut.

"Sango-san I think you might want to get your weapon in case the guy decides to attack,"I warned her while pulling out my bow and arrows.

[kain]

You will not stand aside human, then I shall force you aside. lifting the palm of his right hand Kain fires an energy bolt at the girls, perposly missing them to force them out of his way. Kain then presums to walk towards them with the SOul Reaver in his left hand. Do you still dare to stand against me?

[Ash Lightning]

<sub>Ash was flipped head over heels, but that was all that needed to be done. In a have of fire and lightning, Ash changed into his demon form. He was closer to loosing control than he first thought. His skin turned blac, the red-orange symbols stood out greatly, pulsing with almost evil aura. He drug his hand into teh ground and landed on his his feet, and in a flash, he was behind Kain, grabbed him, and threw him violently out of the hut. In that time, spike's grew out of Ash's shoulders.

You leave them alone, hear me?

Ash's voice was no longer raspy, but oily, almost like a growl. Finally, Ash's eyes turned red-orange, like fire, and his hair did move, and almost looked like, black fire. This Ash was much different than his half-human form; more deadly: faster and stronger were but small things different.</sub>

[Sango]

The man whose weapon was caught by some chains looked dangerous. I leaped out of the way, and threw my kimono off of myself. I grabbed my boomerang with my arm and swung it in a position that I could easily counter an attack. I examined my surroundings, and heard a raspy somewhere around us.

"Un, I know," I replied to the miko, who pulled out arrows from her quiver and nocking them onto her bow. I returned my gaze to the battlefield, alert. Then, the man with the sword held up his palm, and some sort of a magic energy bolt crashed into us. I flung my arm back, and threw Hiraikotsu at the bolt before it reached Yumi and me. It turned into nothing, and my boomerang flew back to me.

The chain's owner said, "Alright, bud. Come outside and leave the women alone, and no one would be hurt." Even though I should be glad the attacker was going to move away, I felt insulted that I was just a "woman" to whoever he was.

I shifted my eyes back to Yumi as we headed back into the hut, shamefully for me. She had smiled and waved to the boy with the raspy voice. I shook my head, wondering what kind of mess I've gotten into. I gripped my boomerang. I would be prepared. I won't back out next time, I thought firmly. Hitting the flap of the hut, I reentered the hut, and resumed the cooking.

[kain]

Being pulled out of the hut by Ash, Kain regains his balance. Sheathing his sword onto his back he then begins to riase both of his hands and aimed them at Ash. Hadou 33: Soukatsui - Way of Destruction. Saying those words a large blue ball emerges from the palms of Kain's hands forming a diameter of five feet. Kain lauches the ball at Ash. The attack would cause his soul to villently bo ripped out of his body. Kain then turns around and begins to head for the main gates of the town.
Kain V.O: My powers seem to be returning to me.

[Ash Lightning]

<sub>Ash jumped away, but the attack wouldn't have done anything. In this form, Ash was next to soulless, but if it was removed, Ash would just have been stuck in this form for all eternaty. Very bad for Kain, and every other person on this planet. Ash's glowing eyes narrowed as fire erupted around him.

That attack would only be bad for you. Some little magic thing is nothing against my power.

Ash formed a ball of fire, encased by lightning, and held it afloat about a foot above his hand. HIs hair took on a red tint. Just then, he did the unexpected. He lashed out with his chain-bone and lashed out at the trees behind Kain.</sub>

[Yumi]

Yumi gasped as the bolt of lightning shot towards Sango and herself. She let out a deep huff as it barely missed them by a few centimeters. What was this guys problem? First he came in to Sango's hut, bumped into her and tried to kill them. He must have had a seriously bad day or something.

"Are you insane man!,"Yumi screamed at him.

She felt the change in the feeling of things. Ash's calm normal aura had changed into an almost evil one. Being priestess like it made her a bit uncomfortable, but maybe it was for the better. Curiosity getting the best of her she decided to look outside of the hut. She saw a dark figure with orangish like tattoo's and black fire hair. It would be scary to any other human but not to her.

'That attack would only be bad for you. Some little magic thing is nothing against my power.'he said in a deeper growling voice. She smiled at that he was protect the two from any danger. How nice was he. Yumi got her arrows out and kept a sharp aim on the guy who had busted into the hut.

[kain]

Hearing Ash from behind him, and the tree falling, he immediately knew that he didn't understand the concept of surrender. Turning around Kain unsheathes the Soul Reaver from his back. Muttering something under his breath. Hoero The Soul Reaver grows larger and has a saw like appearance. Lashing The Soul Reaver out towards Ash in a whip attack smashing anything in it's way.

[Ash Lightning]

<sub>Ash took a step back and caught the blade on his chain-bone left arm. He was lucky it stuck out. The giant sword stuck in it, and was held there.

When will you learn...

Ash launched his small but powerful fire/lightning attack at Kain. The elemental attack had enough power to take down mountains, and this was the same attack he used to kill his own father, a demon of monstrous power.</sub>

[Sango]

I stared blankly at the pots. I couldn't just sit here and watch. I just wasn't used to this. Unless, it was Inuyasha or Houshi-sama, I would always be in the action with them, fighting along side. But now...I'm like nothing... What were those years of training for? Those years of aiming the Hiraikotsu and doing her job. Those weeks she spent fighting along her comrades against Naraku? Were they all for nothing???

No. No, they were definitely something. Those days were something. They were more than something, I thought. I gripped harder on Hiraikotsu. I would go back outside. Yes, I would. I will not back down! I set down the cooking gently and rushed back outside the hut.

Everybody was still there, including Yumi. And now I was there too.

I do wonder though, who are those two?

[kain]

As Ash grabs the Soul Reaver with his whip. Kain uses all of his sheer strength to rip the sword out of the whip. Kain brings the Soul Reaver to him. Just noticing the attack that Ash lashed out of him Kain mutters something under his breath. Ban-Kai. Hihiou Zabimaru. The Soul Reaver turns into a giant snake skeleton and coils around the ground with him in the center. Segments of Hihiou are connected with Kain's spiritual pressure thus making him stronger. Kain blocks the attack by moving Zabimaru in the way of the attack. Zabimaru absorbs the attack causing smoke and debris to scatter all around him.

[Yumi]

Yumi watched as Ash and the other guy argued and fought some more. What was this guys problem? Had he not thought to apologize. Had anyone not taught him manners? This made Yumi extremely furious. She pulled back her bow and shot her arrow. The purifying powers would more than likely purify the area of evil making it easier for Ash to fight, and more than likely harder for that creature to fight.

[vorador]

Vorador walks the streets of the village. Normally he would not walk amongst humans, but there was something troubling him, as sudden burst of reiatsu flowed through the area. He only knew who had this power. It was captain Kain. Kain's furious temper always got the better of him. Walking a bit further Vorador over heard Kain announced his swords form. Keeping a modest look on his face, and holding his hands behind his back, Vorador spoke loud enough so that everyone that fought Kain can hear. Captain, stand down now.

[kain]

Yumi's arrow hits second segment taking off a good two feet off of the sword, and weakening Kain's spiritual energies. Suddenly Kain could feel Vorador's power near by. As he turns around he heard Vorador speak. Replying back to him, in a smug tone Kain seals Zabimaru back into he Soul Reaver, and his appearance changed back to normal. So what do I have to honor 6th division captain.Kain says arrogantly.

[Sango]

"What in the world is going on???" I yelled.

And I meant it. I really had no idea who these people were. And that guy with the sword; he had said some strange words and suddenly the sword became a huge snake! At the neck of this sword creature being was red fur, and there were segments that resembled bones. They locked and unlocked back together.

Beside me, Yumi shot an arrow at the second segment, shortening the sword two feet off. It seemed to have weakened him, and suddenly, he turned around, most likely listening to another person saying, "Captain, stand down now." He replied back to this other person mysteriously and sealed the snake creature back into a katana.

His appearance changed from strange and mysterious back to normal. He murmured something I could not hear, but I knew for sure that it was something arrogant. Gritting my teeth, I opened my mouth to speak. "Who are you? And," I continued, "what are you?"
