Walking around the small camp, I was being pointed at. They had once again a job for me as I did the last two so perfectly at least to them. They needed a strong man to carry a wooden crate filled with weapons trough the snow. But to even make it more fun put on weighted gear. It wasn't really a test they seem to make fun and see if they could make me finally break. They hated the fact that I could finish the other two and never really wanted to join their force. So they would just try to kill me with this one.
As I walked up to the front gate, a type of armor was placed for me to put on. As I was putting it on, I could feel the weight was more then it should be. But placing it on top of my own armour it would be better. The grate was placed upon back after. If one didn't had the strenght it would be crushed by the weight for sure. The gate would open and I would have to walk 20 miles. How the hell did they come up with things like this anyway.
" You guy's are a bunch of dicks! "
Walking away giving them the middle finger I would start my journey of 20 miles in the snow. To make things even worse the wind would pick up and the snow kept falling. It was ankle deep already. As the beginning would be a slow start for getting used to the weight. It would get easier abit forward. As I was around half way, the trouble would be starting.
" Come on, I need to make this for them! "
My legs would be heavy to raise up time after time as the snow and the weight would make it harder to do so. The snow was falling so fast I was knee deep by now and still had 1/3 of the way to go. My back wasn't holding the crate that easily anymore as a pain would be felt in my lower back. My limits will be surely tested again. But I could not let them win! They thought they would be having the last laugh, well they forgot they just fueled my hate. A loud roar would leave my mouth as I kept pushing myself trough the pain, through the doubts. My eyes filled with hate and my heart filled with anger. Every step would bring me closer to were I needed to be.
" Wait! No, why am I so weak. "
I would crash to one knee as it wasn't able to hold the weight. A grunt of pain would leave my lips. Was this really my end? Was this the limit to my strength and hate. I tried to get back up to my feet but it didn't let me. The snow would raise up and was because being on my knee's chest deep. A image would flash before my eyes, it was her. I made a promise didn't I. I would protect her from those that made fun of her. I would let her use my hate. I can't die because of this stupid snow.
" YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
I would push myself back up, even though being shaky and all I managed to get up and was able to step by step go forward. My knee was messed up as I could feel it being on the edge of tearing. But I could see the village closer and closer and only one thing was on my mind. I had to make this for her! As I made my first step into the village I dropped the chest in front of one of the soldiers staying their. The look on his face showed me that they didn't expect me to make it. Taking of the weight armor I would drop against a wall not being able to stand anymore.

Damn It was a dead end, only thing here was one of those vortexes, well it was now or never. I would step into the vortex to see were I would end up. Weapon always at the ready. This things just teleported me to a new area. It was some kind of magic.
" Damn this place it starting to annoy me. "

Never being in one of those vortex would make it more willing to do so. I could also go right and have two ways to go there or go right and then left. So many choices something I wasn't that great at. Taking a small break I would think of a way to go and choose the left side and then the second right. Using the weapon to check all in front of me and the side ready to strike at any time. I guess we were all split up at this point. It would be a matter of time before we could find the exit.

As my weapon came down I could see him move forward avoiding the blade of the weapon. It seems this boy had knowledge enough to know taking the blade would be far worse then the handle. To bad for him the force behind it would push him own if it made contact. As the boy knew the strength was far to great to block he seem to make a slash at my stomach. It was a nice attempt I had to give him that but strength wasn't the only thing I held above the boy. My eyes would never leave the motion of the boy. As his shoulders gave away what he was planning I would place my left foot backwards and would spin my body as the Katana would just skim my armor not causing any damage. I could then see the boy move to my left and his right.
" Nice try. "
My Guando would follow his motion as he was now going to my left and I would pull the Guando back as it would hit the boy's shoulder unless he was all of the sudden way faster then me. If my Guando did hit his shoulder it would take flesh and disable the shoulder. If he did dodge then I would pull it all the way back spinning it around for he could not strike at me. I would then take my stance again, blade pointing at him.

It seems my words gave the boy some balls, as he turned around and revealed his blade. My grin just grew wider at the sight of his blade. Yet it didn't scream for blood as my Guando did. seeing him taking a fighting stance I knew I would have the chance to test my might against someone with at least some skill, hell they told him back home he was good well let me test that out. I would spin my Guando around having the blade point forwards towards the boy. He would have to face a demon now. Something most people run away from. He was ready to face it and that would gain him some respect but just a little.
" Well well, seems someone have grown some balls. "
I would spin the Guando around fast, and at the point were it was up I would slam it down from the upper right to the lower left, if the boy didn't dodge or block it would cut him in two. Dodging would be a problem because of the range of the weapon combined with my speed but I would be glad to see him try anything. It was just a test to see his speed or strength for that matter.

This kid really, he lost his pride just by seeing me fight? Hell, he had people praising him for what he did and for his skills? Something I never had, I raised myself training and kept on training till this day. Still feeling to weak but never back down from anything. I could fuse my hate to keep going no matter how strong the other warrior. Hell I even fought Tak. probably the strongest growing warrior this land had seen. But he seemed to be sure he could fight me next time.
" Pride? You're pride dropped seeing me fight? Who needs pride when you have strength! People calling you great or whatever whats the meaning if you back down from a fight after seeing the strength of another? All I know is gaining strength.. I don't need people telling me I'm strong or whatever. "
Seeing as the boy wants to leave I just place the Guando on my back.. I could break this kid with my fists if I had to. I would always try to find the strenght to win no matter the odds. But this kid was not me, he seemed to hold things different in live. As he felt strong but after seeing something like me felt weak. There was not winning in fighting an already broken fighter.
" Just make sure next time we meet, you better be ready to die! Because running won't be a option at that point. Weak fool! "

Seeing the boy take out a few of them was funny to see, he seem to have some skill. But fighting me wasn't something he would have liked. He was backtracking out of a fight and it was funny seeing as he already knew he would fall like those men beside me. As he created a distance between me and him he would feel save enough to talk. Next time we meet he would be able to give me a great fight? Did he think I would not grow stronger as he would.
" You're no fun! Walking away from a fight. "
As I would rush and jump towards the boy I would slam the bottom of the GuanDo on the ground raising the sand up. Looking at him, fighting him now was no fun as his heart wasn't in it. I would wrap my free hand around his cloth raising him up from the ground yet didn't attack. Looking him in his eyes. He didn't seem to scared but he was sure he could not beat me.
"What does a boy like you here for anyway? "
Tossing him back abit.

As I broke the floor it revealed that I was standing on a trapdoor or some sort. Always the damn traps. As I jumped back outside away from the traps I could hear more men closing in on me. 'really? they saw all the bodies and still wanna fight?' I thought to myself. As they closed in on my they would see me and halted their attacks. They never saw anything like me in there life's and then they noticed all the bodies around the place.
" What is this Demon! "
The men didn't attack and I could hear the boy speak, about not being able to beat me but getting out alive was something he knew would happen. I started laughing as my voice went dark. those around me could feel it shaking their bones. Even the boy would have to feel some type of way by it. It was like something took over.
" Looks like you got some friends. "
As I would close in to the outlaws on my right they would try to protect themselves, but my Guando would easily break their weak weapons and soon they will drop dead, bodies cut in two. The rest would try to attack me from the back as I would spin the Guando around with a roar cleaving also those close enough into 2 as the rest would back up towards the boy.
" What is this monster! "

It seems to be a man not from this place, or should I say boy. He didn't look older then me. But his words were foolish. Even without the armor I would have beaten those in front of me. He didn't see my full strength or speed. All it did was creating a grin upon my face. Knowing my weapon had tasted blood today and making it more and more powerful. Walking in upon this all was pretty foolish of the boy. And as he walked off into house. At one point a body dropped on the ground head bashed in. It seems the boy did hold some strength. This would only make him a target. I seek strength and all that had some would become a target.
I would walk up at the house myself looking at what the boy was doing. Seems he was looking for something. My weapon still at hand I would point it towards the boy. Blood dripping from the blade.
" You seem to hold some fighting skill, to bad for you! "
I would wait for him to grab what he was seeking, but before the boy would want to walk out I would slam my weapon with speed and power on the floor breaking the wood right in front of him. My body was hungry for more power.
" You won't be able to walk away now! "

It has been days not that I saw her for the last time, before dropping her off in a nearby town. I could not have brought her further in as I would endanger us both. I just hoped she was doing alright, but knowing how smart she was I had no doubt that she was already being protected and hopefully by some stronger men. It was weird having more then myself to life for. Yet I could not leave the road I was walking on. I had to become the Demon known by all. I could not replace my hate with care.
As I walked the road early in the morning, to the right there was a river flowing with the rising sun turning it orange. Not wearing my helmet so I would not walk around a Demon just yet. Guando placed upon back, blade covered. I was on a quest to find stronger fighters and beat them to make my name go around. Not in the way a Hero's name would be passed around, no that of a man that would be feared even among lords.
The path was pretty empty as it was still early in the morning I would walk beside my horse. The only companion I had and needed at this point. I came near a house standing alone beside the river and stopped for awhile. Sitting down I would eat and drink some to regain some strength and get some rest. Yet did didn't take long as a couple of men walked out of the building I just stopped at. It seems to be a group of outlaws. The fools would try to take me on?
' You there! You better give us all you have before we kill you. "
I would raise up and start laughing, I would walk up on my horse and grab the helmet. " Ever seen a demon? " I would put my helmet on turning my body into that of a Dark knight with the aura of darkness. My weapon would scream for blood. Ripping of the cloth around the blade I would swing my GuanDo making it roar. " Let me show you true dispear. "
I would rush forwards speed greater then they had ever seen and the blade would rip them all apart strike by strike, blood and body parts would spread around me. Screams heard miles away. As I stopped attacking only one was left hiding in the corner next to the house. It seems I also attracted a guest. Behind me somebody was watching.

Well their we were to roads to choice, one leading to a road not explored and one to those weird portals. Shou seems to separate from me and that was fine. Shou would hinder me at some point anyways and finding loot would mean its all for me.
" I'll take this path not seen by any of us. "
I just went into the path but carefully swinging my weapon against all sides as also in front of me trying to reveal traps and even destroy them with this awesome weapon of course.

It seems the word Father had sober her up abit. She was now in a rush to get going. But yeah her guards were pretty dead that's for sure. Before I could speak a bottle was thrown. Catching it barely went right, it wasn't empty and I would drink the rest before placing the bottle down and grabbing my weapon. She was already at my horse. guess she didn't have one. Knowing of her arm I knew she would have trouble getting up. Placing the weapon upon my back I would gently help her up the horse by having her use my knee and then back to get upon the horse. I would place my helmet on the side.
" You're the first one to ever get a ride from me probably the only one in that matter. "
I would say with a grin before hopping on the horse easily using the strength in my arms. Hell was I showing off now. This evening was going crazy and more crazy. As we took off I would hope she didn't fall own of the horse.

My whole life was based on training, getting stronger. I have bled, sweat and cried so many times all in the name of power. Using Hate as a way to keep going and staying up. It was a lonely road indeed so those 1000 hours were probable well earned. But only as of late when I got my hands on the weapon that called to me I felt strong. And now meeting her I felt a different kind of strength. I had the urge to protect her from anything. Normally I would have already left but something pulled me in. It was a side that was not really who i was. It was the side only his mother ever saw before she died.
" I need a 1000 hours more to get were I need to be. I need to make a name in these lands. "
It was true I could not easily walk in Oda land and start slaying who ever. I was strong but i could not hold back the Oda army. I would try, but I will die and that way the ones I seek win. I have to find that revenge for my mother and the village.
" I wish you could stick with me, but you're father would probably start looking for you soon. "

Hearing her talk my grin turned into a smile, can you believe it me, Maki smiling? This girl was really smart and she knew more in just seconds then I did in all that time looking for clues. She had the same clues as me yet she know way more. As I would look at her I could not look away what was this feeling... Why did this woman interest me so much.
" So I have to be able to go into Oda land and look for navel forces? You look younger then me yet you know all this? You're maybe not a warrior but you got some talent in that head of yours. "
Looking back at the note and the weapons I would finally be able to get closer. But how would I just walk into Oda land if the man knew I was coming and could maybe send more my way. I had to improve more hate more and gain the strength that none would stop me from finding this man.. Hell even the strength so none could make fun of her anymore.

Allot of things would happen at the same time. As I was moving towards the guy I noticed the shades to late and the sand would do nothing but at that moment he tried to make his move. seeing him going up I could feel somebody use my shoulder as a way up to get higher. Seeing a unfamiliar female above me blocking the way of the male it seems she did me a favor witch I didn't needed, at least I thought until I felt the chain wrap around me.
" Damn "
I have been careless and the other female would have already made her move.. It was new fighting 2 on 1 and I lost focus on her. before I knew It I was up in the air and slammed back into the ground feeling the chain in my back from the impact. I tried not to release a scream of pain as I clench my teeth together. Being slide of the the dirt and being lucky my arms were free I would spin my legs bringing me up on my feet. Grabbing hold of the chain and planting my feet firmly into the sand it became a tug o war with the girl.
" You got me on that one.. But I'm not easily beaten. "

Now that she mentions it, the weapons used were not normal Katana blades from these lands. They were all using weapons not seen that often. As I heard her ask about the sword, I remembered they gave me a set of those blades. I would stand up after she placed her hand upon my leg calming be down a little. Walking up tow my horse I would reveal the set of blades. I would toss them in front of her.
" Now that you mention it, they all used weapons barely seen in these lands. His voice sounded off also. Could it be that they were hired to do so? Do they really use people from outside of Japan to do it. "
Also revealing the note I had gotten awhile back stating the man was hiding in the Oda ranks. I walked back placing the note in her hands as I sat back down.
" It would be harder to find a secret force then just a man. "

So she wanted to help me as well, well there isn't that muchs I knew about those warriors. Just the things I know were the armor their mask and weapons. They raided villages that seemed to be of no fraction. There could be a connection there. Seeing she kinda offered me to sit next to her I would drop down sitting on the ground with my back against the bench. so she would not have to move that arm. I could see the pain that's why she drank and that was fine.
" They seem to be a group raiding villages, killing all those that live there. The villages they raid are the ones that belong to no fraction. They dress in black and hide there faces. they use these curved blades to cut the throat. The man that killed my mother he said to find him once I grew strong enough. "
I spoke it with emotion as I could see it happen in front of me again. the village burning, blood like a river flowing the streets. And my mother dying in front of my eyes, to weak to save her. Emotion turned into anger as I slammed my fist in the sand with force letting it raise up because of the impact. It could show her how muchts strength I had and she should be lucky her arm wasn't broken.

She didn't seem to know the answer to that question or rather offer. As she spoke and walked back into the inn, I would grab me weapon as I kept my helmet off not to scare those inside. I would walk in also.
" You sure you need another drink? I don't feel like carrying you afterwards. "
I would walk up to the innkeeper grabbing her drink and walked back outside. Inside was to hot anyway and outside it was just them. Placing her drink on the bench I would wait. for her to sit back down.
" You wanna hear more about demons? You have just seen one that will be known across the lands as the strongest one. "

So she drank because of the pain? It makes sense now. As she turned around emotional. I knew she tried to hide the fact she was in more pain that I would even know. Unlike me she wasn't really one to fight others with anger or hate.
"Growing up was painful, inside and out. It's not like I could drink the pain away back then. nor can I kill the gods for making me this way. I can't use anger like a weapon like you. Nor can I use a real weapon against those who mock me for it. I'm no warrior."
Her words did for some reason made me feel her pain. As my anger grew but not towards her but to whatever she was facing. She said she could not kill the gods for making her this way, and she could not use anger as a weapon as she was no warrior.
" Why not stick with me, see me become a demon and punish those gods that made you this weapon. Use my anger and hate to take care of those that mock you. "
Well this was the first time I offered anything to somebody but myself. But seeing as she could not fight back and just drink. It just raised my anger to see people would mock her for not being able to use both arms. My face turned dark before a white grin appeared upon it. Weapon raised up as only I could hear it roar for blood, but maybe she could sense the darkness coming from the weapon.

"Go ahead mock me. I'm as useless as those guard because of this arm. It be no great loss I'm used to it."
She spoke those words weak and in pain. I knew the arm was weak but I didn't knew it would cause her this muchts pain. She grew up like this or? My thoughts ran inside my head until I heard hear speak again being at mercy of me? I would release the arm and my grin disappeared as I take of the helmet revealing my face again kinda shocked of her pain. Never did somebodies pain make me stop unlike her's.
" A killer? Yes I am a killer... But I would not be able to kill you. "
Did I really spoke those words, what was going on? Why was I feeling remorse and why the hell was I even feeling anything other then hate towards this fine lady.
" You're arm? What happened? "

She didn't seem to like it, she did however shot the man right in the chest. Being drunk made her a bad shot but still missing from that close would have made her blind. She then played the whole thing out like if they attacked her. It was kinda funny that she cared about what others would think. I would clean my blade before covering it up again.
"I'm Gabriella, and pleasure, I'm sure was mutual."
" All you need to know is the name Maki... "
I just used that name as I didn't like the family name because of my father. I would then make a move that could change this whole scenario around. My right hand would shoot out at her left arm, fingers wrapping around it. First thing i noticed that her arm felt under trained compared to the other one. I knew something was up. I would just squeeze alittle not using much's strength as it could break it.
" You think you can hide that bad arm from me? "

It was true, letting me life would give me the change to obtain that power I was seeking. If I was to stay alive I would become Japan his biggest Demon. I would started laughing as I heard his word about a dead wish.
" I will become japans most strongest fighter and find those I seek. "
I would try to get up but the pain kept me leaning against the wall. Looking at the man my eyes showed more then just hate if you would look deep in them. It was also determination that was there burning deep but powerful. Yet this man was the only one not getting protective towards me. Why was this man trying to make his point so badly.
" Maybe one day I will be gradefull to you sparring my life.. but I don't know if you will regret it later on. I don't fight for peace or a good land. I just want to kill those that call themselves demons. "
