Mission in the Mountains

Saya looked at her tea while Ukyo spoke. She did not have the heart to turn and face him and give him words of strength or comfort, or even words of retort and explain that she was not going to die either. While he left, she also noted the shrine-maiden, Naka, watching him as he left through the sliding door that they had entered through. Saya barely even spoke a word and looked back as the whisps from the hot liquid reached the air. She looked almost with a barren look at the beverage and saw her reflection from the dark liquid and saw an almost haunted look inside of metallic green eyes. She bit her lip and sighed and put the tea on the table, averting her eyes and twisted her head away so she did not have to see the look that she gave herself.

Naka had not let that pass and watched the girl's reaction to both the man leaving and her own reaction to herself. Naka's dark almond eyes easily saw through Saya's exterior and deeper into your soul, "I can see that you are at a loss are you not young child? I would have to say that you know the young man loves you, but you do not share the same feelings, or is it that you are torn between two people?" Saya's head remained cocked, but Naka could easily see through her head when her eyes squeezed shut at her words, as if she was struck across the face. Naka merely looked at Saya with serene eyes. She was not one to insult a person aftering finding out a sensitive subject. Naka merely spoke in a soft voice, "I have met very few women who have actually been torn between two people. Its not your fault for feeling such things. I find it often that it is the suitors faults that the woman is torn. The decision is hard because you hurt one person's feelings in turn for making the other happy." Naka sighed and watched Saya with keen eyes, "You can't bring yourself to chose because you are scared that you will lose the comradeship of one because you chose the other. I understand how you feel, but no happiness will come from you being so distant from them. This Ukyo and the other unknown male to me. You will end up hurting them more in the future if you do not tell them your true feelings now, than later."

Saya merely looked to the side at her speach, unable to make eye contact. She did not think that she was hurting Kaeor or Ukyo, but Naka was probably right. The longer she paused, the more that she hurt Kaeor with her prolonged answer? While she thought, Naka stood up from her kneeling position, reaching down to her waist, slowly untieing the sash that kept her kimono together. With the sash gone, Naka quick pulled apart her brown and white kimono, letting it fall to the ground, leaving her with normal clothing on. Unlike what one would think, Naka stood before Saya with a kunoichi outfit. She had a tight leather top on top of a black full body undersuit that covered her from her neck all the way down to her elbows and then passed down to her knees. Around her waist she had a pair of similar black leather pants to complete the outfit. For a woman in her forties, she was physically fit and her body was well endowed.

Saya marveled at the woman for a short time before standing her self and locking eyes with Naka and spoke, "You are ready to release the seal then? I know that I might have been sent here to die, but I promise, I won't lose here. I have no plans to die." Saya saw the look of gratitude cross Naka's eyes when she walked towards a portion of the wall with an old japanese painting. She pulled the painting off by the frame. Behind it was the wall with a portion cut in a small square, large enough for a finger to reach through. Naka pushed her finger into the slot and pulled down, a portion of the wall coming with her finger. From there, Naka pushed the small slot all the way down against the wall and looked at the inside. With Saya's eyes, she could easily make a mechanism inside, and with her acute hearing, she heard the locks clicking while they retracted. Naka pushed on the portion of the wall when there came four metallic clicks from the wall. It gave under her push and gave inwards, the portion of the wall twisting in a circular motion.

Naka turned to Saya and motioned her through the spinning door, "Come Saya, the door will lock once more when it spins around once. That way it keeps intruders out for even just a short time." Saya took no hesitation in walking through the door with Naka while she spun it fully so that there were four more loud clicks and the wall locked itself behind Saya and Naka. Naka twisted her body slightly towards Saya and spoke in a soft tone before beginning to walk, "This process will take about three hours. They will not attack until the final ten minutes. Within that span, if you can keep them at bay for ten minutes I can give you the blade. You must repeat these words to use the sword, 'I, Saya, claim Shinryu, Blade of the Stars, as my own, for good or evil, for light or darkness, I will carry this blade to the bitter end.'"

Saya merely watched Naka's back, swallowing the spit accumulating in her mouth. She had not expected to claim a sword during this mission, but if it was needed of her, then she would take it. The mission might have been corrupted, but she would finish it. She was sent to collect the sword, keep it, and protect it. No shinobi was going to stop her. Naka was a woman who would no doubt be tired after performing a removal seal for three hours, so she was going to have to protect her and carry her out, as well as fight to save the others in the town. Just by keeping the sword, then she might be able to protect hundreds of people who might otherwise be hurt. Saya walked silently behind Naka for over thirty minutes, deeper and deeper into the dark cavern they traveled. While they traveled, Saya could feel a powerful aura radiating deep within the rockface. And after the thirty minutes concluded, they arrived at the site, or what Saya deemed the site.

The two women walked into a large cavern at the end of the sloping tunnel. They came out from a large open stone archway that led to a large circular room. Saya looked around at the visibility for a human, and saw very little. It was a darkness akin to the moon being blocked at night by the clouds, or the moon fully gone through the ending of its cycle towards the blue moon. Saya understood that Naka had a harder time seeing in the dark than she did. While she did look around, there in the middle was a light that would have helped Naka see through the cavern. In the middle was a large pedestal like construction. The middle was cut in through both sides. Above the cut in the rock was an overhang that held four large pillars that pointed towards four platforms of the same height. Saya looked to her left and saw one platform that was gave no way for them to walk up to the platforms to approach the top of the formation, but to her right was a slope that Naka walked towards.

Saya's interest was peaked, because towards the middle of the construction they were traveling to was the same glow that allowed Naka to freely walk. The light was seperated into four strands due to the four extra pillars placed on the inside that within held a glowing blue sword. Saya marveled at the sight. The blue sword was cut at an odd angle and was long down to a handle comprised of gold wrapped around to the base. When the platform met the overhanging construction, Saya reached unconciously towards the blade. Her hand was met with a searing pain and she had to rear back. Saya stared at her steaming hand and then to Naka, "That is what the seal is capable of isn't it?" She looked at her hand that was burnt slightly and back at the sword, "This sword must have been powerful if the barrier is strong enough to burn anything that touches it." Saya looked at Naka once more when she began to create handseals.

Saya listened carefully while she listened to Naka exclaiming silently to herself while she performed the neccesary seals to bring down the barrier, "Uma, Mi, Ushi, I, Tatsu, Hitsuji, Ne, Tora, Ushi, Hitsuji, Saru, Inu, Tori, Uma, Ne, Tatsu, Inu, Ushi, Saru..." Saya listened for five more minutes through the various handseals and watched at the end of it all when Naka began to radiate a light similar to the sword inside of the small pillars. Saya watched between the sword and Naka and took a seat against one of the pillars and looked intently at the sword that would be hers in just under three hours. She could not think about how much chakra that releasing this barrier took, but the time it would take seems like it would be a lot, especially to remove all the seals. Saya did not doubt that Naka had to be perfect or the three hours would be a total waste. She just wondered how Ukyo was doing up on top. Naka never mentioned how long it would take for the ninja to attack up inside of the village.

Ukyo wondered what Saya was doing, but had no time to really think about it. He was busy preparing the village for an attack. He didn't know how many enemies there would be, or how strong they would be, but he wanted to minimize the possible casualties of the encounter. In his past year as the Hokage he had a lot of responsibilities, the most important one being the responsibility for the life of his villagers, and it changed him. Among all other things, he realized that being a great killer wouldn't gain you true respect, even from those you are protecting. Being strong for yourself, or for the sake of acknowledgment, was meaningless. The only reason a person should have strength is if they used it to help others.
It took at least fifteen minutes to convince the guards he wasn't a bad person, looking to create a clear passage for his "accomplices". After they finally listened to his reason, they started listening to his commands. The main attacking force will pass through here. I want every common villager hidden, at least inside their own homes. Don't take formations, it will only make you that much more vulnerable if the attackers are ninja. I would also prefer to have you guys as just a support, engaging in combat only when absolutely necessary, leaving me to deal with the enemies. It would help avoid many casualties. However, commanding the troops was almost automatic for him, while his mind wandered about the subject the young woman who was probably by the sword by then. Saya, even if I can't win your love, this should at least earn me your respect.

In the darkest corner of the shrine was sitting a woman wearing bright red clothes. She seemed to be playing a slow melody on the guitar she was holding, but no sound came out. She sat like that, watching Saya and the priestess as they walked up to the sword's holding place and a few minutes after the removal of the seal had begun. Damn it, I'm so bored, - she thought after watching the older woman make hand signs for minutes on end. Deciding there was no point in remaining that way, the mysterious musician left her hiding place and started walking towards the two women. As she came to the top platform, she studied Saya and then said: Such a nice body... I'd love to get my hands on it, and hurt it until it isn't pretty anymore, - a wicked smile bent her lips, - But to think that you, of all people, would claim this sword... I'd much rather if it was your handsome father. I believe he is still around?

Saya had known there was another presence with her in the cave besides Naka. She could not only feel another person's presence of mind, but the vibrations of the strings settled in the air, dispite not making any noise. Saya saw no reason to approach or even speak to the person, they seemed not to have any kind of need to attack or strike without cause, and Shinryu's barrier still held strong while Naka slowly used her ninjutsu to remove the seal. But the one thing Saya did notice was while Naka began to glow slightly brighter, the person moved and walked towards them. It was not until the person was inside of the sword light and spoke did Saya react. She quickly took a defensive stance, one palm tucked in towards her waist, the other presented in front of her, while her legs were crouched, ready to counter-attacking anything the woman presented. The comment was obviously one of aggression, and Saya took the woman to be an enemy waiting to get their hands on Shinryu, but it was too early.

It was her last comment that completly threw Saya off. Her eyes flew completly open and her eyes transformed from metallic green to a slightly glowing red, "My father...already has a sword. He doesn't need one like this. And how do you know my father anyways? Much less how could you know I am his daughter?" Saya licked her lips and looked towards Naka, who seemed to be unaffected by the new woman's approach, "And besides, I am doing this to keep people who would harm others from getting this sword. Shinryu can not be held in the hands of evil...too many innocents would be hurt. I can't like something like that happen, even if this is just a mission to try and get me killed. So tell me, why are you here? If you wanted to fight, you would have waited until the seal was almost broken before Naka could pull away and stop the seal. You are here for something else?"

The woman in red smiled at Saya's words. Indeed he does... however, his current sword is a joke, not even worth a millionth part of what he once wielded, back when he was my master and, what do you call it, my man. It was much more fitting for him, a weapon that was forged with the strongest matters and tempered in his own blood. You can't possibly comprehend how glorious he was with the weapon that was part of him... but he's just a shell of his former self now. He turned awfully weak, and it's all thanks to your mother. It is obvious you are his daughter, your blood reeks of him, even though half the blood is of your weakling vampire kind. She smiles and walks past the shrine-maiden and up to the sword. This sword is weak... but it is an important piece of greatness. And I guess the people who sealed it away were aware of that, - she said, reaching for the sword. Her hand passed through the barrier unharmed and she gripped the handle of Shinryu for a few seconds, but then pulled her hand back out of the barrier, without the sword. The barrier not only protects the sword from the world, but also the world from the sword. Until the barrier is removed, the sword cannot be taken. This was done in case someone like me comes for it. There is also only one living person who knows the secret to removing it, who passes on the knowledge to a carefully picked successor when they grow old. She walks back and stops beside Saya. I'm just here to make sure the blade gets a new owner. Also, to enjoy watching a fight. Don't worry, I am not going to harm you. Even you wouldn't be a challenging enough opponent, - she smiled and leaned against a wall, picking at her guitar's cords again, this time making a very quiet melody.

Saya felt some of her temper be replaced with uncertainty, and then with anger agian. She would never believe the woman standing in front of her was ever involved with her father. Saya openly bared her teeth to the woman and felt an inner hatred bubbling. First she was claiming that Sol was her man, and now she was claiming that he was weak because of Rera, her mother. Saya glared at the woman and tried to hide her retort, but openly said angered words between clenched teeth, "How...how dare you! You insult my mother and father at the same time!" Her words were cut off when she watched the woman push her hand through the barrier and grab the sword by its hilt.

Saya listened to her words and released her crouched position, but kept a close eye on her while she walked, "Why would you want to see me get this sword when you just insulted my family lineage and expect that I am not angry in any way and think to keep company with me? I try not to hate someone, but when you insult my family, I can't stand it when people try and think that they can openly call my family like you have. My blood is created by my mother and father's genes and I can do nothing about that, but if you are angry that my mother for marrying him, well then you should not even bother talking to me, for I am just their daughter, and my knowledge on my parent's past is rather small." Saya once more looked towards Naka and then back to the woman, "But if you want to be polite about it, we have yet to introduce ourselves. My name is Saya."

The woman laughed quietly before speaking. Insult? Well, maybe, but I was just telling you the truth. I don't care who gets the sword as long as it starts being used in battle again, and in no way am I angry at your mother for being married to the one you know as father. If I were, it would make me weaker, since being angry for that would mean I cared for him more than just a partner. He was the prime male, I was the prime female, and that's about it. Anger should only be brought on when someone is trying to hurt you or take what is rightfully yours. Allowing unreasonable emotions makes you weak, as can clearly be seen in your father's example. He was the King once, and now he's reduced to this petty plotting against... shinobi, - she practically spit out the last word and went silent, continuing to play the guitar. Politeness is useless. It's only a deception, showing fake friendliness instead of truthful hostility. Every creature in the universe is originally hostile towards any other, only flocking together with others of their kind for survival. But if it will make you feel better, you can call me I-no, - she said, not breaking the tune she was playing. It is also kind of funny that you have a better body than me, not having chosen it at birth. I, on the other hand, strove for a sexy look, but apparently didn't do a good enough job.

Saya glared at the woman with an angry glare. It was obvious that no matter what she said, that she would always insult her parents no matter what she would say, "You are wrong. My father is not weak because he wants to be with my mother. He is as strong as he ever was, and if I would say, he is stronger than he ever was. You just see the world through your clouded eyes and seem to think that everyone is weak if they have emotions. I think people are weak if they do not have emotions. If they have nothing but goals for power, they will never attain happiness. If anyone travels around the world to just enjoy battle, the world would be reduced to a primitive state again. We need to strive to become better people and learn to respect one another. All these wars destroy society."

Saya listened to the woman's words once more and she could never agree with her, "That is also untrue. Politeness is trying to prove that someone can work with another person and find excellence. Every creature does not stay with another to survive. People stay together for one reason or another. Some stay for family, others stay for love, and others stay because they feel a connection." Saya was cut off by I-no's words and blinked before a slight blush crossed her face, "Why would you compliment my body when you approach me?" Saya had always loved her body, and strove to keep it in perfect condition, adoring her soft creamy skin and her perfectly tone muscle, but she never expected another woman would say such things to her.

I-no sighed as she listened to the young vampiress. On the contrary, it is you who are wrong. Of course, as far as you know, he is stronger than he ever was. But even now that he obtained strength through training and battle, he cannot be compared to what he was before the appearance of your mother, before he let humanity invade his soul. He could have anything he wanted by force, but instead chose the human approach. Having said so, the woman with a guitar kept in place, playing her instrument. Apparently, there was nothing she could say to make Saya see her point of view. Then again, she didn't care. Family, love, connection? Hah! Worthless trash. Such things make you weak, like they made your father. He started out as a nobody and a nothing, and fought his way up to being the master of all. He never followed anything but his ambitions and desires, which allowed him to be so successful, and which was his downfall when he wanted to try what love feels like, ignoring all the warnings and past experiences of others. And look at him now - he is gathering armies to fight, whereas in the past he fought armies by himself. But there doesn't seem to be any point in talking to you about this. She listened to Saya's last question and smiled. Why would I not compliment your body? It is worthy of praise, especially knowing how nobody but nature herself sculpted it. There is also a lot of fun to be had with a human body, especially one as attractive as yours. I think you know what I mean, - she smiled slyly, continuing to play her guitar, - I believe a human body can make you feel the best of all during mating... and trust me, I am an expert. I-no enjoyed making this girl feel uncomfortable, it was fun, but she was really surprised that she wouldn't ask any questions about her father's past, and only defend him against the unintended insults.

It was obvious to Saya taht there was no arguing with a woman at all. She had her opinions and views on the world, and so did this woman. They were completly different, and she was not one to force her thoughts against another person and so she merely backed down and refrained from speaking for a few moments about her father. She could not help her thoughts while I-no spoke to her, and with the woman's final words, Saya could not agree more than with her thoughts, 'Yes, I can not agree with you at all. My father is a great man, and just because his past might be one of fighting and death, it is not my place to decide who tells me what about him. Especially if this woman claims to have been his partner. I don't want to believe her at all...mother is the only person that father has even remotely talked about. Love has worked out for the both of them, and if this woman can not agree and merely say that it makes him weak, then I will not stop her.'

She remained silent, but the last few words made her look at I-no with confused and embarresed eyes, "I...my body? No one has even touched my body in the wrong way. I don't know how you see, but I will not belittle myself to sleep with various men because of a search for pleasure. I want to share my body only when I am ready...and...mating..." Saya felt her blush deepen and she looked away, unable to complete her sentence.

The musician in red was immensely amused by Saya's reaction. I bet they didn't. But that depends on what you mean by "the wrong way". I, for one, see "the wrong way" as some way that hurts you. But if it makes you feel good, why call it the wrong way? It is the good way, and this argument is perfectly reasonable, if you think about it. You see, Saya, you and I - we are the same, only I am not burdened by morals and many other emotions people feel, embarrassment, for example. You cannot understand my point of view because yours is very... human, not that it's a bad thing, for you anyway. She once again went silent and concentrated on her guitar. It was very surprising that the young woman wasn't littering her with questions about her father's past by now. Guess she can't do the math, or maybe she is trying to ignore what I'm saying. Didn't the fact that I'm talking about the time before he met Rera, when he was supposedly still a kid, give her a hint? Well, whatever... She cut off the melody she was playing and stood up straight. If you want to ask something, do it now, because I'm about to leave. This place is pretty boring, - said I-no, beginning to walk way, - Oh, and when you see Sol, tell him two things: first, that I-no says hello, and second, that he can't escape the past.
