The sun had set and a short drizzle began. The sound of the tiny droplets was accompanied by the sound of a fierce clash.
Kosuke went to strike Jarad's legs but he jumped and while in the air threw a kick at Kosuke who dodged it as well. Jarad jumped back and started charging blood for an attack.
Kosuke's eyes glowed as he gripped his
sword and pointed it downwards. He
charged at Jarad with a sideways motion
as his body left behind a blue streak of
light.
Once he was close enough, Kosuke went in for an upwards slash which cut through Jarad's left eye.
Jarad now furious, quickly charged a small amount of energized blood on to his right fingertip as he said," Blood manipulation:crimson blood bullet. "
The bullet shot straight for Kosuke's chest, but he quickly blocked it with the side of his blade. Though he stopped the attack the force of the bullet pushed him back quite a distance.
Jarad noticed how Kosuke had quickly lost his breath which led him to slyly say,"What's wrong you old fart. Are you done already! "
"Just wait," he replied, " you haven't seen
anything yet!"
He held his sword tightly in front of him
as he took a deep breath. He charged
towards Jarad and as he got closer his
sword became enveloped in wind.
He jumped into the air and right as his
sword made contact he yelled," Wind
style: breaker hurricane!"
A giant tornado formed which was
followed by a short shower of blood.
Kosuke sighed and sheathed his sword as he walked towards the boys.
He noticed Yuichiro holding a dead
person in his arms and asked," Who is
this?"
"She is our mother," he replied as he
began to sob," Our lives were already hell.Why did she have to leave us!"
"I'm sorry that I didn't make it in time," said Kosuke as he looked away.
"It's alright it wasn't you fault, "Tsushiro
said as he started at him with a blank
expression," if you don't mind, can you
tell us who you are?"
"Well I'm an ashura samurai. Have you
never heard of us?" he asked only for
them to nodd in disagreement," We fight the djinn. Heck we been fighting them for hundreds no thousands of years."
"That still doesn't explain you weird
powers," said Tsushiro.
He looked down and said, "So as to fight
the djinn we possess three weapons.One was the ikkion blade, a sword that evolves as we grow stronger."
He was interrupted by Tsushiro, who
said," what do you mean by 'evolves '?"
He sighed as he said,"For now just think of it this way, the stronger the user gets the stronger the sword becomes. Now back to explanation.The second weapon is not a weapon per say but an art. It is the spirit arts that we use to augment our fighting techniques. The tornado you just saw was an example of a spirit art. And finally it is the use of spiritual energy to perform spells through Sihir. Are you satisfied now?"
"I guess," he said before thinking about
something for a few seconds then saying,"but why are you here? Why save us?"
"Well you see ...," he said before feeling a sharp pain in his back.
He turned around to see a fully healed
Jarad standing a distance from them and
a blood spike on his back.
Where you too busy with your little lesson that you forgot about me?" Jarad said while chuckling.
Kosuke in shock said, "I killed you. How
are you back!"
" Aren't I the one supposed to ask the questions teacher?" he said sarcastically," Here's another question for you, what benefit do you get from telling those brats any of that if you're all die right here?"
"I wouldn't be so sure about that," he said as removed the spike from his back with his right hand and crushed it," because it's you who will die here today."
Jarad then got into his fighting stance as he said," Bring it on then."
