War.

Something that you never thought you would have to see in this land. This land has always been a peaceful place but with Yami gone, this land had no future leader or current leader whatsoever to lead and guide. Yami was supposed to lead this land when the time comes, but with his absences here and no heir to the throne. After the passing of the remaining members of the Sukehiro clan, she was the only. She was the only Sukehiro left in this village. She has been getting more and more offers of marriage than before. Some of them are even through her family who knew who she had her heart.

But with the upcoming war, she decided that as a Sukehiro, she would do her duty as the soulmate of the leader, he might not be here but she's not gonna give up just like that. She walked into the room, picking up Yami's katana and picking up hers. She changed her attire that would be more fitting for a warrior and for war. She took a deep breath before sighing. "I wish you were here, Yami," She said holding her left hand close to her heart and kissed the ring on her hand.

She walked out and walked towards the meeting that was being held near the villages old runes. Everyone gasped as they parted to make way for her, during her years here, she had certainly made a name for herself, everyone was terrified of her and no one dared oppose her when she claimed to act as the leader for the upcoming battles. She was ruthless when it came to herself and everyone knew this would do them some good because she was the most powerful mage of this village. But every village has an idiot who thought that they could do it better.

He walked forward saying, "She's just a little lady who doesn't know a man's strength, what do you say if i prove myself better than you then you accept my proposal of marriage and i lead this village to victory against the enemy!!" Some people cheered him on while others prayed for him, he just chose the wrong women to mess with. Kyo simply stared at him unimpressed, she did know he was full of himself but didn't know to what extent. No one messes with a Sukehiro.

She got up and stood ready as villagers, gasped and ran back to a safe distance which they didn't know was where. The idiot simply scoffed thinking they were being dramatic, she looked so tiny and harmless what worse could she do, give him a small bruise? He got ready and took out his weapon and so did she.

The fight went on for some time, Kyo was playing with her opponent not really into the fight

The fight went on for some time, Kyo was playing with her opponent not really into the fight. She didn't even feel the need to use her magic but she was feeling bored, they clashed katana and tried to over-power each other "Yami is gone, I'm your only hope"  so she decided to simply blow the guy away using her light magic. She was pissed a little and scoffed thinking that he thinks that he can be with her despite knowing that she would never love him or care for him as she does for Yami.

"Anyone else who thinks they can lead this village better than me?" She asked sharply, feeling done with being doubted and question for everything she does. The villagers simply stood, no one saying anything.

"Good! We start training tomorrow, Everyman, every woman and every child will learn to fight and defend themselves. But only the ones who are suitable for battle shall go into the battlefield and others would protect our village, our children and our elderly.!" She commanded everyone. She heard a chorus of 'yes'. "Good! Get ready everyone. Things are about to go down fast" She said and walked away. She didn't have any particular destination in her mind but her feet seem to have a mind of its own and lead her to the beach. She looked over the horizon wondering what would it be like. I hope you would have been here to help me, Yami. I wonder what you would have thought of the fight today, i bet you would have laughed your head off, She smiled at her thought, she could imagine it happening.

Kyo stood there in the front, to lead them into a battle she made sure to position was in such a way that she would be able to use her magic to get things under control if they go out of hand. She tried to make peace with the people who were attacking but they were not even clear about what they desire, they were very powerful she could feel it when she asked to resolve it peacefully. They attacked them first so in no way her village was at fault for the war.

The battles went on for a long time, battles after battles, it kept on. Soon it was again time for the festival, there were thoughts of not celebrating the festival this year to mourn for their fallen warriors and to keep preparing for the war as well. They knew the hardest battles were yet to occur. They couldn't understand the motives of the attacks. They would attack them and before causing any actual damage they would retreat. Everyone thought it was because they were scared of Kyo's magic but she knew they were planning something big and they were just looking for weak spots in their defence system. They have not harmed her even once which was strange since she was present every single time when there was an attempt to invade.

But refusing to let anyone lose hope and happiness, she made sure the festivals would occur in the same grand way that it always occurs in. Also, it would give her some strength to have a chance to see Yami again. Who knew what the result of the battle would be. It would be nice to confess her love before she losses that chance forever.
