The fire was high, the priest, Doro and I were talking while the mute boy was laying down
"so if he goes around killing monsters he'll get parts of his body back?"Doro asks twisting a piece of grass in his mouth
"seems like it." the old man says
"his parents.. must have made a deal and give his body in return to the demons" I mumble and look at the boy
"It's awful, what people will do for money and power..." I stand up and go lay a little ways away from the fire
"How could they do that, they're own kid, they gave everything away!!" Doro shouts very angry I turn over and cover my ears just wishing for sleep.
"What do those demons want, a single eye couldn't make their tummies full!" Doro continues to shout
"who knows? maybe it fulfills their souls" the old man says with a sad tone, as Hyakkimaru walks over
"oh, bro your up." Doro smiles, I sit up and Hyakkimaru was about to step in the fire but moves back probably feeling the heat
"Hot huh?" Doro giggles
"you've regained your sense of pain?" says the priest as Hyakkimaru stomps on the fire.
"stop it you'll get burnt!!"Doro shouts pushing the boy down away from the fire
"hold on!" I shout as I get up and run to them, you place your hand over his foot as the glow green (sorta combining 2 separate show here lol) healing his foot slowly, his eyes still wide from the pain.
"you dummy" Doro shouts at Hyakkimaru
~~~~~~~~~~
We find a small shrine that could protect us from the rain, Hyakkimaru doesn't care and stands in the rain
"hey you there" a lady says
"he can't hear you he's deaf" Doro looks at her
"hm....I think he's listening to the rain" she smiles
"I just told you he's deaf" Doro frown
"I just have a feeling" she smiles at Doro
"so are you from a rich family? pretty words and pretty face, you're not just some country girl." Doro looks at her so do I
"the past is the past I'm just a normal peddler girl" she smiles
"hey what were you praying so hard about just now?" he smiles
"oh, I was praying for my brother to come home from the war it's been about 5 years now" she puts her hand together and looks at the Buddha statue.
"5 years huh? if it's been that long I bet he's-" I put my hand on his shoulder and he looks at me
"I hope he comes home soon." Doro smiles and the lady
"help...me..." a voice groan, we look over it's a man with a deep slash on his back, he falls
"what the.." I run over to the man and look for a pulse but he's dead already
"bro!" I turn around and the two are running in the direction from where the man came
"wait!!" I shout about to run after them "stay here I don't want anyone else to get hurt" I say with a tear in my eye as I run after them, they're standing in front of a group of people on the ground, I hold my katana and cut the tree next to Hyakkimaru down revealing a man with white hair
"are you the one who did this??" Doro frowns and falls in the pool of blood.
"my sword was thirsty for blood" he smirks
"a sword? thirsty?" Doro frowns
"this is no ordinary sword. it's a cursed sword that drinks human blood, once you have it in your hands it controls you into killing anyone in front of you"
"so you're blaming the sword for all this? if that's the case then explain that huge grin on your face" the little boy snarls, the man ignores his question and attacks you but your no ordinary person you block and cut his arm as Hyakkimaru pushes you out of the way and takes his arm off. you catch it and watch him as the go to a cliff and the man goes to stab him Hyakkimaru moves so it stab his prosthetic leg and detaches it and the sword leaves the man hands and falls down the cliff as Hyakkimaru slashes at him missing him
"good job Hyakkimaru you always amaze me" you smile cheerfully and hop over to him and put his arm back on
"there you are" Doro said emerging from the forest
"Hey Doro can you find his leg?" I say a to him
"sure thing" he goes to run
"and Dororo... don't touch the sword" I stare at the boy and he nods a little fear in his eyes
"alright sit down" I push Hyakki to the ground making him sit, 30 minutes goes by and Dororo still hasn't come back.
"He touched the damn sword" I frown and walk into the forest as Hyakki follows, after walking a little ways I find hi leg and see the sword isn't there I sigh and hand Hyakki his leg, I wait till he fixes his leg to start walking
"I-it's the phantom killer!!!" Someone screams in the distance, I grab Hyakkimaru's hand and run to where the voice came from. we find a path with clothes and a lamp on the ground
"This way" I continue to drag Hyakki
we find Dororo walking with the sword in hand I look over at Hyakkmaru and he looks back at me
"Don't kill him.." I put my hand on his arm and sigh knowing he can't hear, hi eye widen as I touch him and looks at Dororo, he attacks him trying to get the swords out of his hands.
"stop you dummy" the boy shouts and runs away but Hyakkimaru gets the blade out of his hands finally
"Thank you... thank you bro.." Doro smiles weakly an falls against Hyakki as he brings the boy to me, I look at the man who just grabbed the sword
"why did you spare me? you should have killed me before I got Nihiru back in my hands!" the man shouts jumping at Hyakkimaru
"please don't kill my brother!!!" a lady shouted as the two were fighting
"He has to in order to stop the sword from possessing others, If he doesn't we all could die" I look at her with sadness on my face
"I don't want him to be killed there's just no other choice, but I can tell your brother wants the pain to end.." she looks at me tears streaming down her face, Hyakkimaru Kills him and breaks the sword I run to the man and try to heal him but it's to late I look at the sword and see the rust on it now.
"Brother!!" she grabs his hand
"I'm sorry for your brother" I say and wipe a tear from my eye, she sees this but doesn't say anything and looks at her brothers face seeing his smile and starts to cry I place my hand on her shoulder to comfort her. Hyakki grabs his head and wobbles as his fake ears falls off.
"Bro!" "Hyakkimaru!" we shout and hug him, he just stands there
