The Bodies That Pure Souls and Life

The Midoriko Power Siblings

"Okay that's him the one with the giant sword, kill that demon" said Reina, as she paused when Hiten wasn't budging from his spot. "What are you doing go after the demon" said Reina, as she paused when Hiten closed his eyes and narrowed his eyes at her. "Your kidding right, those are humans, there's not one demon among them" he said, as Reina's eyes widened. "Does that mean your not going to help me?" asked Reina, as Hiten closed his eyes. "Mortals are boring to fight against and besides it looks like they're not going to kill her" he said, as Reina growled. "Fine, I'll do it myself" said Reina, as she jumped off the cloud. "Oi" shouted Hiten, as he watched Reina land on her feet breathing heavily. "Oh looks like someone wants to die" said the man who looked like a woman. "Hold it, you hurt her and I won't help you" I said, as they glanced back at me. "Bankotsu can't we do something about her mouth?" asked the bald guy who was holding me over his shoulder. I growled and gripped my right hand tightly. I then punched his face causing him to let go of me. I dashed towards Reina and we went back to back. "You okay?" asked Reina, as I paused breathing heavily. "I haven't eaten in four days does that sound okay to you?" I asked, as she looked at me worried. "I'll live if that's what you want to know" I said, as she nodded. "So any ideas?" asked Reina, as I narrowed my eyes. "This is stupid" said the guy with spikey hair, as he ran towards us with his claws. Reina's eyes widened and she closed her eyes tightly waiting for an attack, but she paused hearing a clicking sound. She slowly opened her eyes and then they widened seeing a yellow barrier. She looked back at me seeing me placing my hands together like prayer. "How did you-"I figured, since we are related to Midoriko there's a high chance I can do this right?" I asked, as she paused and then nodded. Reina readied her sword and narrowed her eyes. "How long can you keep it up?" asked Reina looking back at me. My breathing was slowly escaping me and my vision was getting blurry. "Honestly... no clue" I said, as Reina nodded her head. Reina then paused as Bankotsu was in front of us. "This is pointless" he said, as Reina growled. "How so?" she asked, as he closed his eyes. "Even if you did somehow manage to make us retreat, we would come back even stronger and until we get her, your lives will be in trouble... just give her up already" said Bankotsu, as Reina glared at him. "NEVER, SHE'S MY SISTER" shouted Reina, as he sighed. "Use your head, for one your outnumbered, two your "friends" don't look like they're going to help you and three your sister is quickly running out of energy" said Bankotsu, as Reina looked back at me. Her eyes widened realizing sweat was dripping down my face and my knees were slowly shaking. "M-Mizuki?" questioned Reina, as I paused and then glanced at her. Reina then looked up at the demons she brought back to life. "DAMN IT HITEN I BROUGHT YOU AND YOUR BROTHER BACK, HELP ME" she screamed, as he sighed closing his eyes. "I need a weapon" he said, as Reina grimaced as she knew that. "A weapon" I whispered, as I glanced at the building I was staying in. "Reina" I whispered, as she looked back at me. "Can you cause a diversion?" I whispered, as she paused blinking a few times but nodded. "Good, you fight the three of them and I will have that demon help you" I whispered, as her eyes widened, but she gripped tightly on her sword but nodded her head. "Got it" she said, as I nodded. "Well what will it be?" asked Bankotsu, as Reina growled. "I choose your defeat" she said, as I released the barrier and Reina started blasting out yellow aura beams with her sword. I ran and ran till I reached the building. I grabbed the staff I made and ran outside. "OI DEMON" I shouted, as the demon known as Hiten looked down at me. I threw up the staff at him, but my eyes widened as I was gutted in the stomach. I grunted and turned my head seeing the bald guy from before smirking at me. I then growled as I slowly passed out from the impact.

"MIZUKI" shouted Reina, but she paused as she was pushed back by Bankotsu. She slid back across the ground and growled when dust clouded her vision. She looked around when the dust vanished, but paused when she saw they were gone. Reina punched the ground and growled. Tears crawled down her face and then she paused when Hiten came into view. "Next time I'll defeat them for you" he said, as Reina paused and blinked a few times looking at him. She stood up and then punched his head. "What the hell took you so long? She could have been with us" shouted Reina, as Hiten growled. "You want me to kill you?" he asked, as Reina growled more. "Easy brother Hiten, easy Reina" said Soten, as they hpmhed and turned their heads. "There is no sense fighting, we can just follow their scent" said Manten, as Soten nodded. Hiten sniffed the air and then narrowed his eyes. "It's gone" he said, as Reina's eyes widened. "What do you mean gone? Is she dead?" asked Reina, as Hiten placed his hand on Reina's head. "We'll find her" he said, as Reina paused and blushed a bit looking at Hiten. 'Does he really care about me?' she thought "Once we do I don't have to owe you" he said, as Reina sighed and sweat dropped.

"I say we just kill her" said a voice "We need the others" said Bankotsu's voice "Big brother is right, once we have the others we'll just kill her" said another voice. "Or" said Bankotsu's voice, as I heard silence. "Or what?" said the first voice "We keep her as protection" said Bankotsu's voice "What do we need protection for?" asked the second voice "No, I think Big brother is onto something, what better way for us to be indestructible than having a powerful priestess" said a third voice. I grunted shaking my head and slowly opened my eyes acting like I hadn't just heard what I did. I looked seeing the four band of seven members. "We have to talk" said Bankotsu, as I winced a bit holding my stomach. I looked at them crossing their legs and looking at me. "You are going to help us" said Bankotsu, as I sighed and closed my eyes. "On two conditions" I said, as they paused and looked at me. "Which is?" asked the bald guy "No one is to harm or hurt my sister and no more killings" I said as their eyes widened. "You have got to be kidding" said the guy with spikey hair, as he growled. He then stopped when Bankotsu held out his hand. "...very well" he said, as everyone's eyes widened shocked looking at him. "But Brother Bankotsu" said the bald guy, but Bankotsu stood up and looked down at him. "It's no fun in killing the weak anyway, as for killing the strong, it's more fun to leave them alive so they can get stronger to fight again" said Bankotsu, as they paused and blinked a few times. I smiled, but then passed out again. "Oi, hang in there" said Bankotsu, as I heard footsteps running towards me.

I slowly opened my eyes and paused feeling a cold breeze. I sat up and paused seeing water and herbs next to me. I looked to my right and stopped seeing Bankotsu sitting on a porch and looking out at the stars. I got up slowly and walked up to him. "I'm impressed" he said, as I paused and sat next to him. "Your not afraid to die" he said smirking and closing his eyes. I paused and glanced at him. "It's not a matter of fear" I said, as he looked at me. I looked at the sky and closed my eyes. "My determination to save my sister overpowered everything" I said, as he paused. "...you said something like that before" he said, as I glanced at him. "It's true isn't it?" I asked, as he paused. "You-"Mizuki" I said interrupting him, as he paused and blinked a few times. "My name is Mizuki" I said, as he smirked and closed his eyes. "Yeah, okay" he said, as I sighed a bit. I had a feeling he wasn't going to even say my name unless I had a sword and power. "You need your rest" he said getting up, as I looked at him. "We need you to have top energy in order to bring back the others" he said, as I watched him walk away. I walked back and laid down on the floor. "Goodnight Reina... be safe" I whispered slowly falling asleep.
