Chapter 1: First Appearances

"No limits have been set besides one on one." Koto announced to the crowd. "You're free to use any weapons or techniques you want. First person to stay down or out of the ring for tens seconds is the loser."

A buzzer sounded and she announced the fight to start.

Kuwabara got in a defense position and motioned for Rinku to attack, confident in his abilities. Rinku shot out with speed, moving in twisting patterns, confusing Kuwabara. Rinku aimed a kick for Kuwabara's face, but Kuwabara moved just in time to receive a small cut across the side of his head. Kuwabara growled in frustration as Rinku continued his puzzling patterns.

Soon enough, Kuwabara caught on and punched Rinku on the head. Rinku was sent flying and hit the cement floor. Angry, Rinku pushed himself off the floor and tried to continue his pattern, but Kuwabara cut him off. Rinku was hit harder this time, sending him flying halfway across the ring.

Rinku rose, shaking with anger. Kuwabara smiled cockily; ready to release his spirit sword when an explosion erupted in the middle of the ring. Smoke rose. A bright light shined from within. Passing seconds flew by, as the light grew brighter. Kuwabara and Rinku shielded their eyes.

The light died down, allowing the combaters to see again. In place of the smoke stood a man and a girl. Their were swords drawn, crossed in a deadly X.

The man had long, dark wavy hair; it moved in as though it had a life of it's own. His eyes were a deep red stained with the blood of a thousand corpses. A green kimono hung on his chest while his legs were enfolded in large baggy pants. At his right side hung a black pouch and on his left, a crimson sheath. He seemed regal and composed on the outside. Only a keen eye could see the torrid anger he hid so well.

The girl had wavy, raven hair tied up in a ponytail with bangs framing her face. Her eyes were a stormy blue, glowing with defiance. She was wearing the traditional demon slayer ensemble. Her protective armor was shaped to look like flames.

On her left hand was a piece of red cloth covered with prayer beads. Her right shoulder held a large boomerang twice her size. Her left shoulder had a cherry wooden bow and an ivory quiver. The tips of the arrows were made from marble rock. A piece of orange cloth crossed her chest, holding five daggers on each side. The blades were enchanted, able to return to their master after their job was done. A green whip circled her waist. At her left hip was a worn sheath. On the right were two small pouches, one green the other white.

She stood straight and tall, her strength and power compensating for lost height. She radiated wisdom and courage gathered from her experiences in the past. Everything she'd put her heart and soul into had been taken away unfairly. A new life she'd come to accept and love. Friendships and family that had she'd grown to cherish. And in a flash, it was all taken away.

Her hands gripped the hilt even tighter. She swore she would avenge them. She promised that she would live for them. Now was the time for action. Now was the time when she paid back what he did to her!
