Fated Destiny

Fated Destiny Chapter Five Fuyuki

Everything was black. "So is this what death is like? Blackness and emptiness? I guess the thought had always occurred to me, but I never wanted to believe it. I guess I would have much rathered believed in an afterlife place than think about death as eternal emptiness with just my thoughts to occupy myself." I said to myself. Than my thoughts lingered to the last image I had saw, Scathach crying. I had left Scathach alone, after a year of being together, I was only to die because I didn't listen to her. What a way to go you idiot...

"Kyu...kyuu." A strange noise was heard.

"Huh? What was that? Don't tell me I'm in hell?" I thought. "Then again hell was a fitting place... I wonder If those soul contracts from High School would actually come in use..." I thought.

"Four...fuuu, fooour..." The noise continued.

"Wait that sounds like..." I thought, then I felt a wet feeling on my face.

"Senpai. Please wake up, Senpai!" A familiar voice cried out. "Hmmm perhaps I should use his formal title." The voice said again.

"Formal title?" I said slowly returning to reality.

"Master.. Master, please wake up. If you don't, I'll kill you." The voice said again. My eyes woke up and I sat up coughing, the air was filled with smoke and my eyes burned.

"Oh Thank goodness you're awake! More importantly you are safe Senpai!" I blinked and looked at the girl kneeling next to me.

"Mashu?" I said.

"I see you didnt forget my name that is good." Mashu said smiling. Mashu was no longer in her casual outfit she had been wearing before I blacked out, now she was wearing black armor plating that covered her torso and went down to her hips, she also wore black gauntlets that went to her elbows with black gloves, She also had black armored boots that went past her knees stopping right before her hips. Purple highlights decorated her armor, and she no longer wore her glasses. She had a massive shield on her back that appeared to be in the shape of a cross

"Mashu did you just say you were going to kill me?" I asked.

"Yes Sorry that was my mistake... What I meant to say is if you don't wake up, you will be killed. That is what I meant to say." Mashu explained. "My head is blurry right now, I'm not thinking very straight. I need some time to calm down." Mashu said. I looked around our surroundings, we were surrounded by burning buildings and it looked like we were in the middle of an intersection in a downtown area. Everything was burning and there was smoke as far as the eye could see, screaming could be heard as buildings collapsed.

"Where are we? And what are you wearing Mashu? That's not what you were wearing before the explosion, and what of your injury are you alright?" I exclaimed. Mashu was about to speak up before a ghastly wail was heard. Mashu and I turned around

"GI---GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA." Said a figure in a hood.

"What the..." I said. The hooded figure drew a sword and the cloak fell off and revealed a living skeleton. "...fuck." I said as my eye's widened.

"Master enemy combatants!" Mashu said removing the shield off her back. "Master?" I looked at my left hand and on it was another command seal. So was Mashu now my servant...? But I thought she was just a regular girl?

"Master!" Mashu cried out, and I snapped out of it and saw several living skeletons approaching us.

"Sorry... Well I guess lets deal with our new found friends before we continue this conversation." I said reaching for my pistol in my side holster, than a hand stopped me. It was Mashu and she was looking at me.
