Gods War
Quick flashes of light in the darkness as racing by, fate at work but then nothing, everything stops. Suddenly there was a red glow, confusion comes then slowly dies away and relaxation settles. Sitting up its clear what the red glow was, it was petals as red as blood covering two body’s and a small shivering child tears rolling down her face as she stares with hope in her eyes. Then a figure comes, dark but with a thin glow around it goes near the child. Panic sets in, rushing towards the figure; it stops as well and goes to ash. Relived walking towards the young girl and comforting her then darkness swallows everything. Waking up gasping everything feeling cold as ice.
15 year old, Leo Zane Rai wakes from his dream as the morning birds start to sing and people throw the garbage and barking like dogs at them to make it stop. Leo doesn’t care for that, he’s use to it, and instead he gets up and takes a shower. Only a roof top away a girl is just finishing cooking her breakfast and lunch for later as she sits to eat she makes a list of food and chores that need to be bought and taken care of today. She id Shiku Hitomi Masa age 13, then finishes her meal and heads off to school. While Shiku is leaving her apartment on the top floor of her building Leo has finished his shower and headed out the door of his apartment and follows Shiku to her school, now you may thing this is staking but it’s more like a his guardian angel because this routine (yes it happens every day of the school week and sometimes on weekends) allows protection for Shiku though she doesn’t really need it. This particular morning a group of kids from Shiku’s school just happened to be waiting for her to come but instead got quite a shock and beating from Leo, though he may not look it he has lots of strength under his tan somewhat medium build body with a mop of long dark brown hair on top. To tell you the truth he looked like a school boy that hates everyone and everything that is in tell you look at his eyes. His eyes were golden red in color that could kill a heart with just one glance, it scares most people when they get a good look at him as well. Now after the fight (yea right) had taken place Shiku came around the turn and gave a quick glance at the mess of boys then hurried on. She wonder why there was a group of boys beaten nearly every day of the week but dismissed the thought as school came around the corner and group of people blocked the entry way so she jumped and scaled the gates quickly.
Hurrying off to class Shiku dodged, turned, and pass so many people in such a short amount of time that most students and teachers didn’t see her. Soon she was in class and sitting at her desk out of air relived that she wasn’t late. Then a shady figure come and stood over her “What you don pip squeak,” it spat (literally spat everywhere). Queer the bully out of the class Shiku stared at the hulking mass of flesh that stood before her equipped with a light mustache, puffy sickly looking skin, blood shot eyes, a light case of acne, and unkempt greasy hair and nails she stood over everyone and tormented anyone with all that she had in her, she was not a pretty sight but the school just put up with her incase alien punks on motorcycle ships attacked (yes she was just that scary). She liked to where showy clothes and smeared at least a pound or two of makeup on her face every day and sprayed a gallon of perfume that smelled like grass all over herself. Shiku was never bother by the commentary made by the bully she just was nice in voice and gesture. “Well I need to use the restroom Queer, excuse me,” she walk out of the room and past Queer once in the hall she quickened her pace when in the ladies room she went to the sink and filled it with cold clear water, she washed her face and looked at the refection in the mirror. Long messy blond and silver hair up in a ponytail with eyes gold now but are often the color light aqua blue. Light pink lips and a pale ghostly complexion. got to get yourself together girl, calm down, take deep breathes, now think happy thoughts. Children, small animals, TV, video games, movies, sunflowers, gardens, sunrises, ocean, stars, misty rain, rainbows, roses, friends, family, love and, and … him. ‘Him,’ Shiku thought, ‘the one person who told me everything was going to be all right, if only I could remember his face all I can see is his smile.’ Then Shiku went back to class and thought about everything else.
During this time Leo went back to his house, after seeing Shiku safe at school, and ate a meal of meat and a bottle of milk. He thought about her, Shiku, she was perfect always and he loved her so much, but he couldn’t let her see him and let her know he was still existed. After all that she had been through 8 years ago, she didn’t deserve to be reminded of that time. she was 5 and he was 7 at the time a facility had stolen them after the accident they had experimented on them to make them into weapons and tried to make a mark on their bodies but never did on her except the scar of fear, terror, and depression, his of anger and resentment. Lock in the basement and in cells the where made of cold steel he could still feel burning on his skin. Then, then the rest he had dreamed like a play or movie that came over and over again. Red overcame his sight; wait calm down calm down it won’t do any good to dwell on the past, I found her and will make sure that it never happens again. Okay … wait, what it’s already that late, alright I finished my dinner, now where is that mask, ah here it is. Leo then put on a mask one that was white with black painted lines, small points on the top made two ears the, mask was of a fox and well know throughout the world because it belongs to the assassin, Fang who finish every job perfectly. At the moment Fang left to do his job Shiku came home and felt sicker than ever she dropped everything and rushed to the bathroom for her lunch came up after 20 minutes she came out and drank 2 large glasses of water feeling better she put the food she bought earlier away, did some chores, popped popcorn, and watched a horror movie called prom night. After it was over she said “wow that was good but come on, some many people died in the bathroom and a prom and a hotel at night, now that was a little odd, they didn’t even show the stabbing just the motion also no blood on the guy even though he killed so many people by stabbing and they were all bleeding.” She turned in then by crashing on the couch. Fang on the other hand had just returned from the job and crashed on his bed, they both dreamed about each other and playing as children in tell morning. when a nightmare show itself right out their door’s.
Shiku awoke and smell rose, ash, blood, and death she rose slightly then someone cover the face with a sweet smelling cloth “goodnight little girl” and that was the last thing she heard in tell she woke again. Leo had awoke, startled he had seen the scene of Shiku be drugged; he froze then got up and turned around “hello Fang,” “hello Zen” there in the dark room he was. The moon barley lit his face which was the only part of him that was visible he came closer and Leo could make out the sneer on his ghostly face, his pale blue eyes had a glint in them shining like diamonds even without the moon light, a rose in hand, and hair grey to match his wardrobe. A fur robe, he wore leather boots, pant and a shirt underneath, all black to hide him in the shadows, and also underneath the robe was his chosen weapon alkyd. Zen come closer to Leo then calmly spoke “that girl she’s came into harm, stolen by a rat one whose skilled at embezzlement, their going to try to turn her, he has a team of scientist with him, also the elders want her,” Leo didn’t say a thing “she need to be taken back to base and were all going tonight,” Zen spoke in a clam mocking tone, like it was a game that would be easy to win. Two hours later Fang was ready his mask in place, dressed in all black, and his weapon in hand, a gun with the name of Hades. Ok she’ll be fine, but if they did do something that entire place will be gone in a huge black cloud of smoke, alright must… stay…. Calm. Gone, he had leapt and was all ready running over the roofs to where Shiku was being kept.
Which was a mansion at the outer area of town; scared to death and shaking she couldn’t stop shaking. “calm-m-m doww-w-wn,” but she couldn’t, gunshot and the smell of blood, nothing, silence, she peered once more around the room, and once more concert and a rusted creaky bed striped of everything but the mattress stared back at her. Oh, this is bad, horribly, dev-, a loud bang fill the silent room and silence once again settled, like dust in an attic, but Shiku was watching under the door, blood was flowing from under it, not stopping, Shiku backed up until she hit the wall and watched as the bright red fluid covered the floor, the door bang open she screamed and curled up in to a ball trying to hide like a turtle going into its shell. “Shiku!” a voice suddenly yelled, she looked and there was a dark figure breathless in the door way staring with the most handsome eyes she had ever seen. Fang had lost his mask, but he didn’t care all it was only a toy to hide him anyway, he stared at her then he looked down knowing what his eyes did to people at first glance, then with a sound he rush through the blood and hugged Shiku, hold on to her with all his might then she did something he never expected, she hugged him back and started to cry saying “please don’t let me go please don’t.” “How sweet,” Shiku shivered then her hands dropped all because a sickly sweet voice had echoed from the door. “Shiku? Shiku! Wake up please,” Leo had started screaming “No use boy she is a bit of a rebel now but soon she will be as obedient as a dog,” the voice was closer; Leo turned and saw a grotesque sight. A slimy thing had just came in, a sickly color, white with a tint of yellow, it looked like a snake but had arms with webbed hands holding a cocked gun and what seemed like legs but instead of feet there was a tentacle for each leg and a tail like a snakes, but its head is what was the worst. its head was shaped like a snakes and sat on top of a long neck ,it had no lower jaw but an upper one and a hole where the throat is slime drip from it both eyes were just white and flaps of skin were under them and then entire body was bloated and covered in scars. “Hand over the girl human,” “no,” “stupid human her mother and father want her now, besides you would just give to the elder’s right? Well wrong young one she belong back home with the ones who will help her, so, HAND HER OVER NOW,” “she will come with me and I will see that no harm come to her demon,” “human you making a horribly mistake,” “to bad, this girl will be coming with me.” Leo blinked and the demon was gone.
“Oh my head feels like-,” “morning” Shiku stated looked around then spotted the person, he was holding out a milk bottle, she took it and looked around her she was in a shrine out on the porch next to a slightly over grown garden. “What happened,” “you passed out and we came to save you,” she looked right at the person he was wearing a huge grin and his canines had were like and dogs or cats, and his eyes were different the shined and would look like a wild animals but with his smile he looked . . . hmm cute, adorable, nice! That’s it he look kind and nice. “are ok hey didn’t hurt you did they?” oh yea the night before “ ah no they didn’t, but who are you and how do you know me?” “oh” his smile faltered a little “ I’m Leo, part of the Gods, and I know you because . . Um well,” he couldn’t tell her “never mind just- wait your part of the Gods, like the assassins, know and feared by all? And who some people say there stronger than them,” she mumbled the last part but Leo got it all and he just shook his head yes. “Oh, well that’s um interesting” he’s smile went from ear to ear and she couldn’t help but laugh a little. “Hm, how cute.” Zen came for no where and had interesting effect on the scene, Leo growl and glared well Shiku tried to understand where he came from. “The elders want her, now” he murmured the last word.
“Where is she!?” “I don’t know but she should be here soon” “better be” “yes sirs” A young women mumbled she was agitated and wondering what was causing the problem she was one of the best in the gods and very loyal. She also was quite pretty with long dulled blond hair with waves and blue eyes, she was a master in sword and always where her general clothes, though she was this handsome she was never told so because she devoted every moment she had to the Gods. “Hey she’s here Mast” “Good” she looked at the girl that was call the deviled angle she was a weak pitiful looking creature. “come girl the elders want to speak to you” shiku was led forward to an opening in front of screens the showed three old men “ welcome Ms. Hitomi Masa to the Gods,” Started Shiku flinched slightly each of the old men noticed and a sneer ran across their faces and the smugly thought how easy this would be. “May we call you Hitomi?” “Yes” Shiku was shaky still but spoke with confidence “Hm. . . Alright I will get right to the point, my dear Hitomi you are a divine child who we, the Elders, wish to help with understanding thing power you control.”
Shiku listened but couldn’t believe these old geezers they said lies all they wanted was to awoken this power everyone said she was supposed to have. “Well, will you join use Ms. Hitomi Masa?” she stared at them with no expression then said in barley a whisper “I I . . . I don’t know” “Oh well, we’ll give you some time to think you may stay in the garden shrine if you wish to” “thank you, sirs.” She then walked away with Leo right behind his mind was on overload he wanted to push her down and fight her well kissing her, he had to gain control. “the girl, she can tell what the real reason is that we want her”
