Shinigami wakes up and realizes it's been five years since his parents died, so he starts out on his adventure, he figures he won't be getting younger and there are problems to fight out there, literally... so he looks around the house and finds some of his dad's old weapons, they maybe worn out, but they'll have to do, and he finds some armor, also worn out, he thought if dad was such a great blacksmith, then why do i only have worn out stuff? no matter... he gets a bag and puts everything he can, food, money, a tent, and alot more necessities, he leaves the house then thinks i'm never back to this town, too many painful memories... i've lost it all here, so i'm leaving to gain more... he walks out of the town while everyone's still sleeping in there houses at dawn.

Kiomura laughed as she jumped into a small whirlwind. The shadow creatures couldn't understand what was wrong with this young woman. She wasn't afraid of them. In fact, she came hunting for them. Her eyes showed her loss as she fought them, even as she laughed. Kiomura shook her head.

"Good hunting tonight. I think it's time to go home, thought." She laughed again. "I'll see you tomorrow!"

Riding her wind, she moved to her home and ended the whirlwind. Walking into her house, she sighed and leaned against the door. The house was silent, as it had been ever since the night the shadow creatures took her family away. Kiomura sunk down the door to the floor. Now, and forever, she fought.

((I'll just post Kimi's intro now so I don't end up double posting.))

Kimi walked through the empty streets, having been out all night because of a scare from about eight o'clock last night. She looked toward the forest standing just outside the small town and sighed, wishing she could leave this place and never come back like her brother had. Kimi pushed her black hair behind her ears and set off again, her red eyes glowing a slight pink as she thought back to when her brother had just dissapeared without any good-bye or even a word of thanks.

The butt-hole probably thought it was funny when he left mom and dad in tears. I hope he's happy where ever he is now. Kimi turned to the forest and squinted her eyes as she walked, a nice-sized rock thromwing itself from her feet as she let her anger get the better of her powers again.

"You better come back, brother! You promised to teach me real magic, and you never break your promises." Kimi made another rock launch itself into the forest and stopped her walking as tears threatened. She stood there, holding back the tears, and stared at the forest with a mixed look of anger and sadness.

Kiomura awoke on the floor, slumped next to the door. Standing, she stretched, wincing at the tense and cramped muscles.

"That's it," she said aloud to the empty house. "There's nothing left for me here."

That being decided, she packed up her things. Leaving the home she'd been raised in was difficult, but she knew she couldn't stay. Coming home every night after facing those things was only torturing herself. No matter how many she killed, her family was never coming back. She knew that. She looked once more around the home, already picked clean of anything worth money, she smiled a sad smile. Leaving the front door open, she started on her own adventure, the only adventure she needed right now.

as he walks, he realizes, there must be a source or sources from which those unnatural shadow creatures come from, i must seal them off, because no matter how many we slay, more will come out of the sources... then he comes along a half-shadow mutated man, dying on the ground and thinks unless we destroy those sources or source, this'll happen to more innocent people... sorry, friend, i must kill you... then he stabs the poor man in the heart with one of the knives then stabs the knife into the ground to clean it. "i must prepare a proper funeral..." he starts to dig a hole in the ground with his bare hands.

Kiomura heard the cries. Pinpointing where they came from, she bolted in that direction. Coming up on the pile of shadows, she growled. She pulled her daggers out and dove to the top of the pile, slashing and tearing. After a few minutes, a couple of the shadows stayed with the girl while the rest defended them from the human whirlwind of daggers. She looked past them at the girl.

Unless she fights them off, somebody else had better show up, she thought. I can't get through all of these in time.
