The demon jumped into the air, completely dodging Strake's move and getting cut a bit by Rikku's claws. The demon then lunged straight at Strake with her claws at the ready.
Strake had no chance to completely dodge her hit. He fell a bit to his right side and his left side was torn up by the demon. his sleeve had been torn so badly that there were just a few shreds left on his left arm. There was a barage of deep cuts in Strake's left arm. Towards the left side of his torso, near his arm were a few cuts, but the were fairly mild. Most of the cuts had hit his upper arm. Strake rolled over to his right side after a second of being shredded at by the black female demon. He stood on his feet haunched over, very unsteady. Blood was running down his arm, and the left side of his white robe had been stained red with blood. Strake had begun to cough up a little bit of blood and was holding his left arm. "Damnit...I...was...too...slow." Strake said dryly, stopping after every word to cough up more blood.
The female demon stood a few yards behind where Strake was standing. She grinned seeing all the damage she had done to Strake. "Still think I can't take you or your father little boy? Once I kill you, I'll kill that man over there with my sword, then I'll kill your father. How does that sound? Can you even hear, I wouldn't think so, after losing so much blood hearing is the first sense you lose. Do you remember me yet? I don't suppose so, that was so long ago, and your brain was more undeveloped than it is right now." The creature hissed again in her heavy demonic accent.

Damnit I missed again. Rikku thought to herself as she landed gracefully and turned to face the creature. "Hey wench back off!" Rikku yelled digging her hand into her pocket and grabbing an enchanted card she held it facing the creature and yelled, "FIRE!" as a jet of flame blasted from the card at her. "You won't kill all of us." Rikku said defiantly.

The demon was startled and barely jumped to the left in an attempt to dodge. Her right side became burned in her upperleg area.
"Hah, take that b***h. You may be able to kill me, but not with that sexy lady here. I guess she's so hot that she burned you. How do you like us now?" Strake gloated a bit. Afterwards he shot out a beam of ice from his mouth at the female demon. Quickly after shooting the ice beam he jumped straight at the demon and slashed his blade from right to left.
The demon had jumped upwards and had her right leg frozen. His attack was futile, and just a waste of energy. Once the demon landed her leg shattered and she was on her leg and her two arms, like a dog with an amputated leg.

When she landed Jacob jumped on the demon woman's back raising the sword up high ready to place the black blade between her shoulders. The sword spoke to it's "owner" saying "Me, serve you again? Don't make me laugh, I will only ever those who I allow to touch the honor of doing so, and I don't want to be even back in you filthy hands." Afterward Jacob struck downwards aiming between the demon's shoulders.

Jacob's blade when right down in between the demon's shoulders. By instinct, the intant Jacob landed on her back she attempted to run, but her leg had slowed her reflexes, right after Jacob plunged his blade into she ran, tearing herself in half. there was a black resin substance on the ground where her corpse should have been. The sky cleared and the wind began to come from the west again.

"We did it." Rikku said happily dancing around, "But I kind of wonder why she came so far out of her way to get you, that sword and your father." She said putting her hand on her chin thinking. "But she couldn't even beat us there is no way she would have even put a scratch on your father." She laughed at the thought, this creature wouldn't have lasted more than a few minutes. "Speaking of which.. shouldn't we go tell/ask him whats going on?"

Jacob looked at Strake and Rikku saying, "I'd hate to ask this but what are you two exactly? Are you wizards, angels, or more demons like that thing was?"

"Half demons, why do you ask?" Strake replied to Jacob. "I'm not sure if that creature is dead...no corpes is where she died out, and she didn't leave ashes where she died, she left a black resin." Strake said thinking about her death, and how easy it was compared to what he was expecting. Strake then began to limp towards the bar.

Jacob raised an eyebrow saying "Half-demons? I don't beleive I've met any of those on my travels, then again most demons I've met were just trying to kill me in order to steal this sword from me." He wondered if what Strake said was true but after seeing him fight he thought there could be a chance it might be.

"Yep, my mom was a full blood fox demon and my father was a human, he had telepathic abilities... but I don't think I inherited them." Rikku said looking at where the black resin was. "and actually, believe it or not, I have no Idea what is so special about your sword... care to explain?"

He sat down on a rock and held the sword out saying "Well, it's a sword imbued with powers derived from necromancy or death magic. It never dulls or chips, I can gain necromatic powers at the cost of slipping into undeath lichdom in particular, and whenever it is stolen or lost it seems to find away back into the hands of it decides is it's owner. Though I didn't know that the demon we just fought owned it."
The sword replied with "That's because the less I even think of her the better."
Then Jacob continued with "Oh yeah, it talks."

"Well than aren't you scared to use it to often?" Rikku asked gingerly as she looked at the sword. "Do you have a name?" Rikku asked the sword, she felt kind of silly talking to a sword but it didn't really matter to her.

Jacob looks at Rikku and says quite bluntly "Of course I'm a afraid to use it. Unfortunately though without it I'm almost helpless whenever a demon decides to attack me."
The sword simply replies to Rikku quite simply "I have been called many names, the "Reaper's Edge, "The Bloodletter," and "The Lichblade" to name a few. Jacob here seems to favor the third name."

"Well then why don't you just give it away, rather than fight to keep it? If it keeps coming back to you than just keep giving it away." Rikku said calmly. "I am pretty sure I won't be having any deep conversations with a sword... but if I do I would probably just call you...evil... or talking sword or maybe lichblade... depending on what mood I am in..... anyways we should probably go back to the bar." Rikku said walking towards it.

"Rikku, obviously you don't understand how don't understand how dangerous this sword is, I've figured it out for the most part due to our encounter. The blade use to belong to every demon lord, and once that demonlord died, the sword absorbed it's power. In more recent history, probaly a few years ago, it was stolen by her, and it decided to leave her and go to Jacob. The sword should have more than enough power to kill my dad." Strake explained to Rikku. He had a little bit of backround knowledge on the sword, only legends his dad had told him. "Is it that sword, or am I thinking of a different one?" Strake turned to Jacob, expecting the sword to reply.
