Dark clouds covered the moon and threw the clearing and the old tower into utter darkness. The black mark that stained the dirt began to move and soon, a dark form pushed itself up out from the ground. The Zero Tails hand reached down, taking a hold of its mask and returning it to its place on his head, “Finally! After fifty years, I can continue to wreak havoc upon this Earth. But I need my doll first, so…where are you, Maiko?”
The demons gaze swept over the whole clearing, yet he saw not a soul. Then, a small beam of light caught his eye. It came from the top of the lighthouse and flickered like a candle.
“Aha…there you are…” He made his way up to the top and what he found surprised him. Sho was not the element of surprise though; it was the one standing in front of the bird of light that shocked the demon. A little girl with light brown hair stood before him, holding Sho’s lantern in her hands. By the way she was dressed, it was clear that she came from the desert. The Suna symbol on her forehead protector gave that knowledge too. She looked no older than twelve years and yet there was something about her that seemed older; much older.
“Who are you, girl? We have surely never met and yet I have the strongest feeling of hate against you that is stronger than any other.” Zero mused, eyeing the bird and lantern cautiously.
The girl looked up at him bravely, replying with a shout, “My name is Aimi, daughter of Natsumi and granddaughter of Maiko of the Sand. I have come to return you to the depths of the Earth where you came from, just as my grandmother prepared me to. On this day, your terror over the world shall cease once more.”
