Sacred Killers - Akuma no yoru

Show of Strength

Somewhere in a secluded place - 6 A.M

Renaldo, Kinoshiba, and Kotaro were all standing together in the center of a room.

[Kinoshiba] Are you ready for this? Once we go there, there's no going back.

[Renaldo] I'm ready...

Kotaro held up his hand and a giant blue pentagram appeared. They were immediately transported to this unfamiliar place.

Somewhere in an unknown place

They appeared inside this island. They were inside this area with a bunch of trees, waterfalls, and different types of birds. Around them were walls of rock and grass and water covering the area besides the piece of grassland they were on.

[Kinoshiba] You're free to go, Kotaro.

[Kotaro] I'll mark you two with kain so I can transport you back-

[Kinoshiba] That won't be necessary.

[Kotaro] *confused* What? Why not? This place is in the middle of nowhere, only us people know where it is. How do you manage on making your way back?!

[Kinoshiba] You're forgetting who you're talking to, I'll be fine.

[Kotaro] Tch!

Kotaro placed his hand on the ground and a blue pentagram appeared. He vanished leaving only Kinoshiba and Renaldo inside the deserted place.

[Renaldo] So, exactly where are we?!

[Kinoshiba] This is an island where a sacred item is held. This place is hidden by a barrier placed here. It's been there since ancient times where it was used to train a certain ability.

[Renaldo] So what's the first step?

[Kinoshiba] How is your body feeling?

[Renaldo] I'm still in a lot of pain, but I can move around I guess.

[Kinoshiba] Good, I'll wait right here then...

Kinoshiba sat down and crossed his legs in the dirt, despite wearing his slacks and dressy clothing, he didn't seem much affected by it.

[Renaldo] Whaaat?!

[Kinoshiba] You'll have to do this yourself, I won't be able to help you. Your first task is to find the sacred item, without it, we cannot proceed. Beware, there are more things than just birds here.

[Renaldo] B-but where do I start?! I don't have any clue of what the item even is!

[Kinoshiba] You'll know it when you see it. Come back to me once you have it, if you survive that is.

A shiver ran down Renaldo's spine and he began to sweat.

[Renaldo] *nervous* You can't be serious!

Meanwhile - a couple hours later: Yokeitanto's Minka

Kairo and Muigetsu had fallen asleep on the floor, it was about 12 A.M and they were up waiting for Yokeitanto to arrive. All of a sudden, the door opened and Yokeitanto came walking through, noticing Kairo and Muigetsu on the floor, waiting for him. He was shocked at the sight but quickly snapped back to his senses. He closed the door and they quickly woke up and looked up at who was in front of them. Shocked at the sight, they quickly rose from the ground and stood tall in front of him. Yokeitanto had new clothes and armor on him as well as a new katana. He seemed unharmed after the battle.

[Kairo] You're finally back...

[Yokeitanto] Yes, sorry for making you wait so long. How has training been going? Have you been focusing on the regiment?
