Star Breathing: A breathing technique that was the only one not to come from the Breath of the Sun. But instead came from an entirely different person. It was said to have combined the fundamentals of Breath of the Sun, and Breath of the moon. A pow...
"Damn you! Damn you! Damn you!" A voice cried from the sea echoing throughout the deck.
Both you and Giyū looked back to the oceanside. The tides pushing into the side of the ship. The tides hitting the wooden side causing it to rock harder than it had before. The salty smell of the sea was off.
From the tides of the sea the blackness was darker. From the deep blue below a red bubbled up. This smell of blood. Quickly you pulled your haori sleeve up holding back the smell.
Your hand gripped tightly onto your shirasaya holding it in front of your face.
Giyū taking his place in front of you, his eyes focused on the sea also.
From the sides of the ship the black tentacles returned grapling the ship as it lifted it into the air.
"Bastards, bastards, bastards!" The voice cried again as the tentacles began shaking the boat.
"What the hell is this!" You cried jumping into the air. From your sleeves you pulled out multiple star shaped shuriken.
Within an instant the shrunken flew in the air honing in on the tentacles. Stabbing into the beast it cried in pain once more. Releasing the ship as the tentacles sunk back into the sea.
Giyū stood ready as the rocking continued.
"It's underneath." He stated preparing his blade.
"How are we supposed to behead it if it is." You questioned landing towards the front of the ship.
"You don't." From nowhere the Captain suddenly appeared, shocking both you and Giyū.
"Captain! Where did!"
"A thousand pardons, but my name is Shunsui. Captain Shunsui Shirokaze of the 1st company of International Sea Captains. And.." From his cane he withdrew a blade that rang like a nichirin blade. It's color was a serene green.
"The former Wind Hashira.." He explained holding the blade to his side.
"Y-." You stuttered in shock Giyū standing equally as stunned.
"Sumimasen, I left that life behind me a long time ago. Hence why I don't really mention it." He chuckled placing his blade against his shoulder.
"However the sword shall always call apparently." He laughed looking to the both of you.
"What do you mean we cannot behead it?" You questioned looking to the man.
He rubbed his chin allowing a sigh to escape his lips.
"This demon will not reveal itself from the water. Hard to even reach it after all." He explained sitting down as he sat in thought.
You frowned hearing the revelation.
"We need to draw it out." Giyū stated walking to the edge of the ship.
"Hrm?"
"Giyū what are you?" Without a word Giyū jumped into the waters below.
"Giyū!" You yelled seeing him jump.
From the sea erupted a massive amount of tentacles attacking Giyū pulling him from the sea.
"Damn it!" You yelled seeing Giyū begin his attack against the tentacles.
"Your lad ain't wrong with that." Shunsui chimed in jumping into the air landing at the front of the ship. From there he walked off the front of the ship, jumping too into the waters.
"Captain! Damn it!" You yelled looking to your kimono.
"I dressed so nicely for what!" You cried seeing the two begin their attack.
"Bastards!" Your attention was drawn to the top of the ship. Your eyes focusing on the figure of a tall lanky figure. Made of shadows at first. It's silver eyes stared at nothing. The tentacles began to peel away materializing the demon.
His hair maintained the black tentacles that squirmed and wiggled. His eyes received deep white pupils containing Chinese characters on his left eye but japanese ones on his right. His skin was pale. Where black streaks trailed down from his eyes like tears. His teeth were flat and scowled as black drool dripped when he talked. His face although depressed was handsome. Especially for a demon. A white Yukata robe kept his figure hidden. With a black hanfu robe flowing with the sea breeze. He wore two heeled sandals revealing his aged toenails painted in black. His fingernails were sharp and long being black as well.
He scratched at the top of his head tearing tentacles as he did so.
"Bastards, bastards, bastards..." He muttered endlessly as he held onto himself.
"Poor soul.." You released from your lips seeing this creature.
"What?" The demon in surprise looked at his environment seeing himself gone from the depths of the sea.
"Damn you lot!" He cried pulling himself from his sitting position.
"Making me materialize myself up here just because you keep bothering me!" He cried scratching more at his head.
"I must apologize. But it isn't our fault." You replied holding your blade next to you. His eyes focused on you. His eyes growing seeing your features.
"Such a pretty thing.." Your eyes shrunk in disgust.
"So pretty that the surface should not own you.." Your eyes widened in shock as the demon appeared behind you. His left hand holding onto your chest and his right on your abdomen. The right hand moved down his fingers itching to get to you.
"Star Breathing Fifth Dance: Spinning Nova!" Within an instant swings from your blade fired arcs of sword swings that chased the demon away.
He jumped into the air avoiding this sudden attack. Spinning as he landed at the front of the ship. Your eyes focused on the demon with absolute disgust in this demon.
"No one ever touches me like that.. Never again..."
