Missing Hero

Chapter 3: When Two Blades Collide

The young guy hand gripped my side tightly still holding me close while he glared at the red demon. The katanas were still locked together in front of them as if daring the other one to make a move first.  My eyes gleamed as I took in the sight of Kei blade. He was so beautiful and strong looking. His steel seemed to radiate a faint blue light from it. "That girl belongs to me!" The red demon said in a cold harsh tone. The young samurai smirked before replying  "Last time I checked she was mine! I should cut off your filthy hands just for touching her." As he finished his sentence a quick thought popped up in my head "Since when did I belong to either of them! That what I like to know!" The red demon held back his head laughing hysterically. Before finally snapping it back in place glaring at the young samurai. "I liked to see you try!"  A small soft sound escaped the young samurai mouth "Pff." His eyes beamed with anger. He jumped back pulling me along beside him, as he slide Kei down the other katana sending sparks everywhere between them finally reaching the tip of the other katana and broke away free. He stretched  Kei out in front of him towards the Red demon. The Red demon stared slightly impressed. "It rare to see a left handed samurai and only using one hand at that. This might be kind of interesting after all!" He replied while stretching his katana out towards Kei. "But it doesn't matter which hand you use or how many, because when Rein done cutting you to ribbons I'm gonna fed you to my demon toad over there." I barely had enough time to glance over in the direction of the other two demons who were now standing up with their backs against the wall watching the fight go down also before the red demon charged at us. "Bleed them dry Rein!" He yelled as his katana collided with Kei sending sparks everywhere again. I assumed that was the name of his katana. I screamed out "Eek" and would have fallen backwards if it wasn't for the young samurai still holding onto me. He strained with Kei to hold back Rein advancement. The red demon laughed and pulled Rein back for a split second before plunging him back down on top of Kei. The katanas seemed to roar at each other with each passing hit. As if threatening one another. I slipped lose of the young samurai grip and hid behind him gripping onto the back of his kimono peeking out from beside him. Which must of been the right choice because a smile creeped across his face as he gripped Kei with both hands pushing into Rein forcing him back a little. The red demon face twisted with frustration as he and Rein tried to hold their own. "You got him boss! Push harder!" The demon toad cheered. "Stupid toad" I thought. I quickly removed one of my genta's and threw it at him managing to smack him right across the face while stepping out from behind the young samurai. "Shut up you stupid frog!" I yelled. The genta seemed to hover there on his face for a minute before flopping to the floor. "Why you little brat!" He yelled while darting towards me. I looked down at his feet and braced myself for the impact. The young samurai grunted in frustration as he stretched out his left leg and thrusted it into the red demon stomach causing him to go stumbling backwards by surprise. The demon toad was only a arms length away from me when his feet suddenly came to a sudden stop. I slowly looked up towards the toad face and my eyes rested on Kei blood soaked covered blade tip pointing down towards me. The young samurai had took Kei and impaled the demon toad through the back of his neck while still facing the red demon. Blood drops collected on Kei blade tip before falling away. The demon toad coughed spewing blood up all over himself. The young samurai slowly pulled Kei out and gave him one quick downward shake clearing most of the blood off by sending it scattering across the floor.  The demon toad fell to his knees as the life slowly faded from his eyes going soulless before falling over sideways in front of the the young samurai. My body started to tremble again as I stared down at the toad lifeless body.  Voices screamed inside my head "Why me! Why couldn't this have happened to anyone else besides me! Am I gonna meet the same fate here soon!" It took everything in my power not to lay down and curl up into a little ball. The red demon sighed with frustration "What a waste! The stupid fool went and got himself killed." He mummer looking down at the demon toad body. "Let's get out of here Meguru! This place is starting to stick from all the death. Someone bound to notice."  The red demon demanded sliding Rein back into his saya before turning towards Meguru who I assumed was the name of the black eyed demon. Meguru nodded but remained silent. He took his katana from its saya slicing at the air. A black twirling hole appeared where he had originally sliced. I was sure that it was a black teleportation portal. I've never seen one in person but Amano had and told me about it. It was said only a few magical katanas held the power in teleportation. The red demon walked over to Shiro dead body picking her up and slumping it across his shoulder before walking back over to the portal. "I'll catch you another time my sweet little tasty thing!" He said with a cocky smile before stepping into the black hole carrying Shiro with him. Meguru lagged behind for a split second before stepping through the portal himself closing the portal behind them. I fell down on my knees crying as loud sobs escaped my throat. The young samurai calmly attached Kei to his side but didn't put him back in his saya, which was a little odd. He bent down scooping me up in his arms cradling me against his hard but yet warm chest. At this point I didn't even see a reason to fight anymore. One minute we we're in the blood spotted room and the next we were on the roof of the kyabakura. He moved with swiftness across the roof tops. In little to no time I found myself back inside my home. I don't even know how he knew where I lived. He set me down gently in the living room and just stood there staring down at me. His face held no emotions. I saw that Kei was still attached to his side. His blade now gave off a red tint sending a thought throughout my head "This was my chances, if I grab Kei now I can get the upper hand before he tries anything."  I reached down snatching Kei from his side while backing away holding Kei sharpe end at him. "Now just get out out here! Don't make me or Kei have to hurt you!" I demanded the best I could with heavy shaky hands. He looked unamused and stepped closer towards me "That I can not do."
