The day was hot, so hot the leafs almost seemed to turn brown. The earth was dry and cracked, the bugs stayed hidden deeps beneath the surface. Akira tip-toed through the deep bushes. The birds and other wildlife fell silent as they saw her coming. As she came up behind the village, she began to pour this thick liquid on one of the huts. A scowl on her face, and a growl in her throat, she took the rocks she was holding and she hit them against each other. Time after time, a mere spark flew from the rock’s edge and it landed in the liquid. But instead of disappearing it burst into a large stream of fire. She jumped back and admired her work. Part of the flames started to crawl up the side of the hut, engulfing it and anyone who might me inside. Akira smiled and laughed: Finally, she could take her revenge. She could kill these people who had killed her mother so long ago. She wanted them all to perish, to burn. The anger inside her seemed to make the flames bigger. It seemed to fuel them, they lapped up everything in their path. Burning it. Akira was going to turn and leave everyone to their death. But someone was approaching from behind, someone who would stop all of this nonsence.

Suddenly the flames just died away as Hanzo and Tanzo, the two demon brothers, came upon Akira. A small wall of ice grew up out of the ground, blocking Akira's path as Hanzo walked forward and grabbed Akira by the collar of her shirt and forced her to stand.
"Now what do we have here?" He said with a triumphant grin.
"A pretty young lady with a bit of a problem with humans perhaps?" He continued. His soft blue eyes stared at Akira with a kind of wounder as his silvery blue hair blew in the wind. The light of the sun shined threw the trees like a spot light on the whole seen, which gave him a sort of unnatural beauty.
Tanzo on the other hand was stuck in the shadows looking somewhat muggy in comparison.

Akira, still being held by her collar, swung her claws at Hanzo. She missed his face but with his mind distracted, she was able to jump free of his grip by ripping away from his hands. She sailed into the air and twisted around to land on her feet. She landed without making much of a sound.
"What do you want? You have no right to touch me!"
She picked up a handful of dirt and thrust it at Hanzo. The dirt sailed and filled the air, like chocolate powder blown from a spoon. As the dirt covered Akira and Hanzo's view, she jumped up into a tree and stood on the branch. It may have been sunny and warm, but the tree's leafs where so thick that it blocked the sun from touching her. She appeared dark, the glare on her face made her look evil.
"Its crazy how a demon like you would care about the people!"
She snarled with anger and jumped into another tree, her foot caught and ballanced well although it was mossy and slick. She gripped a branch and pulled it free from the tree. She lifted it over her head and grined with pure anger and hate.
"Its best for you to keep out of my way! If you don't, i'll do away with you like I am going to do with the people!"
The threw the branch she held tight in her grip at him. As the branch landed and leafs flew through the air she ran off, slinking closer to the village. She jumped befind a tree and held herself still and waited. She was sure he hadent seen her hide, but she couldn't be sure. Although she didn't feel threatened by him, she didn't want to stall her time with him.
'As soon as he is gone.' she thought to herself 'I will finnish off the people and be on my way.'
(you know Batto, you didn't have to make a pitty post)

Behind Akira Tanzo bent down and brought his arms around her like a light hug. In doing so he made absolutely no sound, so it would be as if he had come from nowhere.
"Not trying to escape are you?" He said in a playful tone. Meanwhile Hanzo stood directly in front of Akira and his brother staring down at them.
"Heh, did you really think you could get away with such slow movements?" He asked, again in a playful tone. Neither of the two brothers showed any intention of hurting Akira, but it was evident that they weren't going to let her get away.
((Total Tiger Brotherage! ;D))

( well thanks Batto...I really really appreciate it.)
Akira growled. One of her ears drooped in annoyance. Then her ears perked up and she shifted her weight, letting her back be supported by the tree.
"I suppose I have to actually run, you two are sharper than I though."
One of her eyebrows popped up, she looked up at Tanzo. Her face changed, but it was an unreadable look. She drew a circle in the dirt with her foot. Her gaze then went from Tanzo back to Hanzo.
"Why would you bother helping the people?" Her voice sounded sharp and slightly irritated. "Have you no heart for a lonely women who only wants revenge?" She took a step to the side, allowing a ray of light shine on her tan face. Closing her eyes, she put her hands on her neck, she let out a stretch and ran her fingers through her hair.
"I only asked you to leave me be" Her eyes opened slightly, they look slim and annoyed. One of her fuzzy ears twitched.
"Honestly, i thought men where suppose to respect the wish of a women." She took another step to the side, not exactly trying to get away, but it was unclear why she was moving. The air was starting to cool a little, the sun was starting to set, turning the sky shades of purple and pink.

Hanzo and Tanzo stood and walked slowly around Akira. As she spoke they laughed slightly.
"There are plenty of reasons to fight: to protect someone precious to you, to defend the weak and helpless, but revenge should not be one of them." Tanzo said in a kind voice.
"If your life has truly been so bad, then you should help those less fortunate than you. That way others won't have to be hurt like you were." Hanzo continued with the same kindness Tanzo spoke with. The two of them now came closer to her. Tanzo came from in front and placed a hand on Akira's shoulder. Meanwhile, Hanzo came from behind and placed his arms around Akira gently as if to comfort her, though in reality it was to hold her down if she tried to run again.

Akira disliked being touched. She cracked her knuckles.
"get off." She said her ears folding back. "I fight for revenge. Why should i help others when I was not as a little girl?" Her words where angry, but they also showed the pain she felt. She put her head down to hide her face. She didn't want to let them see if she got water in her eyes. She jerked her hand around and grabbed a handful of Hanzo's clothing.
"Your making me mad." In she shadows something lurked. Its eyes glowed yellow. It stepped in silence and crept closer to them.

Akira had grabbed a handful of Hanzo's robes and now their faces were just inches from each other's. Hanzo moved in just a few inches further and sniffed Akira's cheek softly.
"Are you sure you'll feel better killing those people? If you do you'll only bring more pain to others, just like what they did to you." He said softly as one of his hands found its way to her waist, and the other sliding down her arm to her hand. Tanzo, meanwhile, placed a hand softly on Akira's other hip and sniffed her other cheek softly.
"You half demons are always to uptight... you need to loosen up." As he finished speaking a small ice cube formed just below Akira's neck and dropped down the back of her shirt. As it did both demon brothers fell over on the ground in laughter.
((Anticlimactic much?))

(you sniff my cheek? omg lol)
Akira went into a rage at this. "You discusting little creeps!" She razed her hand "Wind of Iron!" Large wind lindlike blaces went through the air, crashing and destroying the earth around the two brothers. Akira Had been banding around from the ice so all of her blades missed. Her Kimodo was to tight to get the ice out she growled as she cooled her skin. She grabbed her kimodo and took it off. (Undershirt Batto..lol) She picked up the ice and threw it at Tanzo. It plunked on his head. "I'll destroy you if you touch me with ice again!!" Although they could not see, there was a burn type mark on her back where the ice had been.

The two tiger brothers dodged the blades in the air, though it was a bit of a cruel joke they couldn't help but think she had over reacted. They both got up and started walking away.
"Come on brother, this little girl isn't much fun" Tanzo said as they walked away. Hanzo waved back to Akira as they disappeared from site.
"Stay out of trouble now little one!" Hanzo yelled back to her.

Akira turned and picked up her shirt.
"Troublesome..." She said as she put her shirt on and started to walk back to the village. Part of her was torn...she didn't want them to go. But she had other things to do....She hopped back into the village area and looked around. Some of the people had started to repair the fire dammages. She stood there a while. Something inside her told her not to.
"What is this feeling?!" She said shaking her head. Then the face of Tanzo and Hanzo came to her mind. "Why them, why now!" She said giving herself a few taps on the head. "I'm going crazy arn't I?" She sat down on a pile of newly fallen leafs. She rested head head on her chin, thinking.

Hanzo and Tanzo walked through the forest around the village for a while looking around.
"Where is it brother?" Hanzo asked his brother with a yawn. He spoke of a terrible demon that an innkeeper had told them about. He said they could stay at his in if they slew the demon.
"I don't know Hanzo, but we had better find it if we don't want to sleep outside tonight." Tanzo replied. As they looked around a giant mantis demon came out of the woods and attacked them. It came at them with one of its massive, scythe like claws.
"May I brother?" Hanzo asked in a polite tone as if he were asking if he could cut in on a dance.
"I don't care Hanzo." Tanzo replied taking a step back.
As the claw came crashing down on him Hanzo simply caught it with his bear hand. He slowly looked up at the demon and yawned. Hanzo slowly drew his kodachi and stared down the large mantis. The demon tried to slash at Hanzo a second time, but he would soon find that Hanzo was now standing about a foot to the left of where he was, just outside of harm's way. Hanzo smiled as a massive spike made entirely of ice came shooting up out of the ground, scouring the demon and carrying it high up into the sky.

Akira had closed her eyes, thats when her ears caught the sounds of Hanzo and Tanzo fighting. She stood up and looked around, some time had passed now, and the sun had nearly set. The air was cold and musty. Ash loomed in the air from where the people has been sweeping at the fire's remains. Akira felt allert, so she decided to go in the direction the noise had come from. She tilted her nose to the air, trying to catch the scent of the creatures around her.
She set off at a jog, but slowed as she crept forward to a clearing where she thought the fight has been. She stared from the shadows, looming in the darkness. Something came up behind her, she turned to strike but it was just her wolf.
"So it was you I saw in the shadows eirler, huh?" She said giving the wolf a pat. She turned back two the two brothers. Instead of feeling anger she felt intrest. She wanted to know about theses two.

Hanzo quickly lopped the demon's head off and carried it back to the village along with his brother. Once they were there they went to the inn, where they delivered the head to the innkeeper. As they were walking in Hanzo noticed Akira fallowing them. He smile at her and motioned for her to come over.
"Hey, why don't you come in with us? You look like you could use a place to stay." He yelled to her noticing the bits of straw all over her clothes. Hanzo didn't mind if she shared a room with him and his brother, but that was mostly because he was gonna be a sleep most of the time.
Tanzo, meanwhile was inside getting their room in order. The innkeeper seemed quite pleased with the giant mantis head he now had hung up on his wall.

Akira, despite the fact that she detested humans, didn't mind the thought of being with the brothers. Even if it means she slept like a human did. She took a step forward, when she did her wolf came and started barking at her.
"Oh hush up!" She gave the wolf a light flip on the nose.
"Go find your own place to sleep if you don't like it here." The wolf stood, tail tuck between it's legs, then it gave a wine and trotted off into the forest. As soon as it was gone from sight, it started to run. Akira shook her head and took a breath, walking tores the brothers.
"fine I'll stay with you." She said looking at them. Although she didn't say it, the word 'sorry' lingered on her face.
