Blood trickled down her arm, as she gasped. An arrow hit the top part of her shoulder. The young archer removed the arrow from her should and screamed in agony, seeing a jet of blood erupt as she tossed the steel arrow to the side. With her last remaining strength, she equiped the light arrow of her soul and aimed for the opposing archer. Her arrow flew true and swift, striking her foe down, as she could hear one phrase from the dying archerwoman.

“ Goodbye… my sweet… King…“

Aishiru’s mind came out of its memory as she heard an army’s footsteps thundering their way. She signaled to Dark to prepare his weapons as she withdrew two steel arrows and held her bow in defensive position. The smell of blood lingered in the air, as she could sense that the army had came from another battle not too far from their location. Just as her thoughts of killing the archer 5 years ago, she knew far too much of war and killing. A defying roar came from the army as she stopped breathing for a moment.

“We have got you surround Aishiru Akarui and Dark Ninja! Put your hands up and surrender to us so that we may make a treaty from the Dark Lord, King!” The huge annoucement echoed through out the town. “We will use force if you do not say yes to these terms!“

Her face paled as she felt a huge demonic aura from within the army, one so immense that she was choking in the dark hold. Dark looked at her shocked to see her clutching her heart and her face in pain, that he ran over to her and shook her back to the task at hand. Aishiru nodded and devised a plan that could elminate most of the army and go face to face with the demon within the crowd.

A few moments later the two came out of the cabin, their cloaks hiding their faces as Aishiru and Dark stood in front of the 500 manned army holding their weapons to their sides. King stepped forward and Dark muttered angrily as the man laughed manically.

“So… you really thought we were going to make peace with you two? This is too easy… FIRE NOW! ” King’s treachery flew in the air as one thousand kumbis and arrows flooded the air to pierce the two below.

Suddenly, Dark grinned knowing to expect such an attack and dashed in the shadows, leaving Aishiru to face the barrage of weaponery by herself. Removing her cloak, her green eyes flared in anger as she shot a single soul arrow above her to create a magical barrier that deflected each star and arrow. She held two arrows within her grasp and fired at the army. The bloodshed ensued, as the arrows blew away soldiers and men into pieces of rubble as Aishiru fought dilligently, her face emotionless. King dropped his mouth to the immense power that the little archer he faced, and growled angrily.

“It cannot be true… YOU CANNOT BE RIN AKARUI’S DAUGHTER!” he withdrew an illbi star as Dark’s steely flung towards his hand, piercing it causing King to clutch his hand in pain. “DARK!!!”

“It has been quite awhile King…” He reappeared from the shadows holding the two illbi stars in his hand and grimaced. “It is time to pay for Tulette’s death… by DESTROYING YOU!”

The two rivals clashed in a heated battle of flying stars, as Aishiru began to run into the army and slaughter each soldier with an arrow of steel. Before long, all of the weak men fell to the ground dead and stood before her was Ethan. His mage appearance resembled evil and she frowned, holding an arrow towards him.

“Theres one thing you should know before you die Aishiru…” Ethan smiled demonically.

“Oh… you don’t have to tell me anything Ethan…because your going to die.” Aishiru held her arrow steadily.

“You’re with a child… MY CHILD!”

“It might be so… but what you did that day, I DON’T CONSIDER YOU AS MY SON’S FATHER! And he will be raised by none other me alone!” Her arrow flew and struck Ethan in the heart as he fell to the ground.

“…I didn’t.. mean to betray you… I did that to try and save you… Aishiru… my love…” Ethan’s last breath made her fall to the floor, her tears of pain betraying her.

“NOOOOOOOO!!” She cried into the red sky above her. “THIS ISN’T FAIR!!… this isn’t fair mother… why must the world around us… be covered in… blood..“
