Emiko Miyazaki
The female yelped, as she was thrown against a wall. A few small rocks had fallen on her. Her vision was slowly blurring out. She didn't know how long the battle had been going on. 20 minutes? 30 minutes?
"Emiko! Are you alright?! Come on, he's not done yet!"
Emiko could hear the voice of Shinozuka calling out to her. She then slowly opened her eyes, making eye contact with him. She slowly blinked her eyes, then slowly getting up. "Yeah... I'm okay. I was only out of it for a second." She had muttered. "Kiyoko and Naoki are badly injured. Only we can do this." Shinozuka had muttered to her.
"Are you two done yet?" Both of them turned around, seeing the demon in front of them. Both Shinozuka and Emiko's expressions turned into angry ones, as Emiko picks up her sword.
"You're seriously asking a question like that?" Shinozuka had asked, giving Emiko a hand to help her up. Emiko then grits her teeth. She could never forgive that demon. He was the one who had murdered her parents.
"I will never forgive you... you're the one who killed our parents. You're despicable... do you know how much my big sister cried over that?" Emiko had asked under her breath. The demon had tilted his head to the side.
"Big... sister? Who is your big sister?" The demon had asked, a curious expression on his face, walking over to her. However, the sadistic aura remained on him. Shinozuka then ran in front of Emiko, glaring at him.
"Don't you even try! And for your information, Emiko's older sister is Taeko Miyazaki! The best big sister Emiko has looked up to, and one of my closest friends! If what Emiko said was true, then you deserve to pay for what you've done.
"The demon then stared at the two for a moment. He then tilted his head back, howling with laugher. Emiko and Shinozuka looked at each other in confusion at first. However, they had to keep their guard up.
"Miyazaki?! Taeko Miyazaki?! Ha! I never knew I could find a sister of hers here! I thought she only had an older brother! I didn't even realize that she even had a little sister!" Emiko tensed up at this.
"You... you never knew that I was her sister?" Emiko had asked, taking a step back. "How could I? It does make sense though. You look a lot like her. I guess it's time for some more fun!" The demon had shouted. But before the demon would react, Shinozuka had stepped in.
"Nature Breathing, 4th Form, Nature's Trap!"
Vines had surrounded the demon, wrapping the vines around his arms and legs. "Go, Emiko!" Shinozuka had shouted. "Okay!" Emiko had declared, stepping up.
"Water breathing, 10th Form, Constant Flux!"
A giant water dragon had been summoned from Emiko's sword. She ran towards the demon, sword in hand, as she aimed the giant water dragon towards the demon. All Shinozuka saw now was a huge splash of water.
And now, the demon in front of them was on the ground. Emiko then slowly walked over to him. Shinozuka ran in to finish him. However, Emiko had stopped him by extending out an arm in front of him.
"Wait, what are you-" Shinozuka had begun, before Emiko had spoken up. "I have a question to ask." Emiko had replied. However, she keeps her sword out, just in case.
The demon slowly looked up at Emiko's mint-colored eyes. He grits his teeth, as he tried standing up. Emiko narrowed her eyes at him. "I have a question for you. If you knew my big sister, then who are you really? How do you know her so well?
"The demon tries getting up again, and his expression forms a glare at her. "Haruki... Haruki Kaneko. I was... her childhood friend. There's your... answer." The demon had answered. Emiko's eyes widened. It was no wonder the demon had spoken about Taeko so much during the battle.
"That makes so much sense. But... why did you murder our parents?" Emiko had asked. Haruki then finally got back up on his feet. "Because... Taeko is mine. She always has been mine. So... another friend and I did what we had to do..."
That made Emiko and Shinozuka freeze on the spot. "W-What...?" Emiko had begun, her legs trembling a little. "You despicable little-" Shinozuka had muttered angrily, clutching onto his daggers tightly. Hearing the truth from a demon like him was horrifying to hear.
"Now, don't you see? Don't you realize that I'm doing this for her? Once I eliminate her siblings, and friends, it'll just be her, me and Tomiko! Just like the old times, right?!"
Emiko's grip on her sword tightened. She could not believe what she was hearing. Hearing this from a demon was already scary enough.
"Blood Demon Art: Shadow Ropes!"
Haruki had summoned two ropes made of shadows. His power and strength might've started running out, but he wasn't done just yet. Shinozuka and Emiko tensed up, about to attack. Before they could do so, they both heard two voices.
"Water Breathing, 3rd Form, Flowing Dance!"
"Water Breathing, 9th Form, Splashing Water Flow: Turbulent!"
Two flows of water came towards the demon and the shadow like ropes disappeared. All Emiko and Shinozuka heard were the screams of the demon, and two figures coming out from the water.
Two figures had jumped in front of them both. Emiko had fallen to her knees, realizing who they were. However, she was completely exhausted. She could make out the two figures and who they were. One male and one female.
The male wore a plain white haori and a green kimono. The green kimono had looked similar to Giyu's haori. The male also had peach colored hair and a scar at his cheek going down near his mouth. And on his head was a fox mask, with that same looking scar on it. Emiko could clearly see his face. He had lavender-colored eyes.
And as for the female, she had cyan colored eyes, and black hair that came to her shoulders. She had a red flowery kimono, with a sleeveless haori as well as a pair of sandals. She also had a fox mask, except with two small bright blue flowers on it.
Emiko had seen them before. She had seen them before when she was just a trainee. They helped her get through training. However, the only difference was that they looked a lot older now than they were before.
"You alright, Emiko? You've done a great job holding him off." The female had stated in a gentle tone of voice. Emiko coughed out blood, then quickly covering her mouth. But she nodded in response.
"Don't you dare move, Emiko. We'll finish the job." The male had replied bluntly, then turning to Shinozuka. "You. Keep an eye on her until we defeat him. Understood?" He had asked. Shinozuka jumped a little, seeing how harsh the male's tone of voice was. However, he nodded slowly.
The next few minutes were a blur. The female couldn't do anything about this. All Emiko had saw was water flowing around Haruki, along with shadows trying to overpower the two. "Sabito... Makomo..." Emiko had mumbled. Her vision was blurring out. Emiko tried to stand up, but Shinozuka pulled her back down to sit.
"No, Emiko! You heard what he said! You can't move until he's defeated!" Shinozuka had exclaimed. But Emiko didn't care. Her legs moved on her own. She then started running. "Emiko, no!" Shinozuka then shouted. He takes out his daggers out about to run towards the demon. However, Emiko had her own plans.
"Water Breathing, 6th Form, Whirlpool!"
Shinozuka could notice a whirlpool form around Haruki. And suddenly, more screams from him were heard, and his head was now on the ground. Emiko landed on the ground on her two feet. The other two had noticed her and landed on their feet as well. "You gave him the final blow... you did it." The female, Makomo had said, with a soft smile. However, Emiko didn't respond.
Her grip around her sword had loosened within a few seconds, and the other three heard a clang, as her sword fell to the ground. But so did Emiko.
"Emiko!"
"Emiko, are you okay?!"
"What were you thinking, Emiko?!"
