It's been 3 hours since Hikari had woken up from her slumber. Right now, she was outside the cave standing underneath the waterfall naked as she was washing her long blue hair. Her aqua blue eyes shot upwards gazing at the waterfall that was running down her body. "You're nothing…But a failure". That's all-what Hikari was thinking, that's she noting more than a failure.
After finishing washing off and changing her clothes, that of a white tank top shirt with her hair tied up with a red ribbon. Hikari was sitting on a large rock, with her head facing the ground. All she could think of was what one of her master's had said to her. "You're nothing…But a failure". This made Hikari to tear up a bit, remembering of her past mistake. The people that she was close too, she got them killed all because she was too weak. Repeatedly its keeps on happing, once she gets close to people and forms good relationships with them somehow, she leads them to their deaths.
You probole thinking that losing loved one all-round you would make you cold. Well, you're not wrong she was cold an ice queen to put it, that change because of her sister who told her that death is a part of life without it, people can't live if they have never fear death.
Hikari would have closed her eyes, while looking at her feet, as her toe were clinging into the ground of the earth. From behind Hikari, a creature with blood glowing eyes would have been staring at Hikari for some time even tacking small steps to close the gap. Right now, it was about 15 feet away from Hikari, just as Hikari stood up and was about to walk away. But the creature leaped forwards headfirst about to claw her down, right before it could do that a black blur would have appeared so fast to the creature side. The blurring figure was Kurogane, who had his fist bellow his waist already in the form ready to strike.
The blood eye creature would have looked to its left side, its eyes widen seeing Kurogane about to give him a deadly liver blow to its side. Moving quickly the 6 feet tall creature would have turned to the right to avoid a punch from Kurogane, luckily it worked. Kurogane would have miss it target and put both arms to his chest like that of an X, as he blocked two powerful kick that was lunch to his chest. The impact push Kurogane 10 feet in the air and landed 10 feet away, thinking Kurogane was stager and won't be able to move, it was surprise to see that Kurogane was now in close rage. The creature would try and kick him again, but he was unsuccessful, as Kurogane would have ducked and wynd up his fist and delivered a mean punch under its body. "Hyper fist!". Kurogane yelled as the punch made the creature go flying up into the air and soon after it blowed up. Soon blood rain from the sky, as the whole place was painted red.
Hikari looked at Kurogane in shocked, with his fist in the sky while blood rain down below painting everything red. "You know for someone who is a spirit, I thought you will be able to defeat a weak monster like that with easy". Kurogane would say, as he eyed Hikari who was looking at him in amazement.
After washing off the blood that was on their body and in their hair for about 9 minutes, Hikari would have finish splashing water on her face and drying off before she turned her head to the left a little just to see Kurogane standing up with no shirt on and exposing his well tone-built body. Her face turned red for about a second before looking away, but she turned her head again to look at his body for the last time as she looked, she saw visible large marks on his body that goes from his shoulder to waist.
Kurogane would look at the wounds that he got from the two tigers. He surprises that it was all healed up, it wasn't that long he got attacked and now he feels great. After putting his shirt on he turned his head in Hikari direction who was still washing her face, but unknow to him she was watching him get dress.
Once they were done, they set off to continue their journey that's awaits them. For the pass hours Kurogane and Hikari never talked, Kurogane was confused why Hikari was not talking to him. "Was it something I said to her". Kurogane said in his mind as he continued to walk down the twisted jungle forest. Hikari was in her own thought trying to find a way to speak to him, ever since she saw her master and told her that she was a failure that lets people to their death she tried to say away from Kurogane even not talking to him. Hikari looked up from the ground in Kurogane direction and then shocked her head. "What am I doing, where here walking in an unknown forest trying to find a way out and I can't even talk to him". Hikari stopped what she was thinking I just decided to break the ice between them, she bloated forward with her hand stretch outwards trying to grab his shoulder.
But as she was about to mack contacted with him, but a large earth golem with purple glowing eyes appeared right next to Hikari with its mount wide open ready to devour her whole. Hikari quickly moved backwards and was about to summon her spear, but too her surprise Kurogane appeared before her with his sword out and with one strike, cut the golem down the middle. The golem completely came crashing down to the ground, crumbling into millions of pieces, falling all over the ground, and merging with the earth.
Kurogane put his sword to his side and slowly turned to face Hikari who looked at him in disbelief. "You know what Hikari, I just thought of something just now". He slowly started walking towards her why his eyes were looking at his surroundings encase there was more monsters that were going to show up. Hikari raises one of her eye browns up, while looking at the young curious black hair boy who was scanning his surroundings. "The deeper we move into the forest the more monster we will have ourselves facing off. It like where coming close to its den or place of resting, whatever you what to call it". Kurogane sat on a nearby large stone rock that was next to Hikari why Hikari just staired at his trying to figure out what he was trying to say. "So, what if we find the den, the best option is to say away from it at all costs. Monsters are already dangers as it is, beast on the other hands are world class threat and if left uncheck could bring lands, kingdoms, and realms to its knees". Hikari said putting her left arm to waist as her head sulked to the ground while looking at her feet. "What am saying, is that maybe we could destroy there home and making it a lot easier for us to move around the island without dealing with turns of enemy trying to kill us all at once." Kurogane said as he looked up to the trees, seeing the leaves blowing too one side to another. Hikari looked up at me, "By the way I wanted to asked you about something, and is that.." She pauses as she closed her eyes and opened them with a curious look to them. I looked at her. "She was beautiful the most beautiful girl I ever laid eyes on, her light blue hair her aqua coloured eyes that could give anyone a scared was staring right at me as she wanted an answer. Training I said as I looked away from her gaze and right at my feet." The moment I said that and looked way, she appeared right next to me and grabbed my face forcing it towards her face that had an unsatisfied look on it. "HEY WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING, YOU'RE TO DAME CLOSE FOR CUNFORT." Kourogane said as his face was bright red being close to Hikari own, just about 3 inches away from touching each other lips. Hikari didn't move not even an inch; she kept a good griped on Kurogane face as he tried to escape. But nothing was working for Kurogane poor guy. "Listen Kurogane am going to stand by you no matter what you goy that!"
