Japanese horror is always better than western horor, true fact (Test)
A typical week usually didn't end with Kayura researching the deaths of young men. The deaths were very gruesome though so naturally for someone who fought the occult they caught her attention. She was going to walk around as a civilian to get an idea of what she was dealing with exactly.

But it was after dark near the red light district. It made her nervous because sometimes the subdued clothing she wore came off as not to the kinds of people she was trying to protect. But all the deaths had happened very close to here so the little warrior was going to try and save the men who were being attacked.

Tonight she knew it would happen again. It felt like the kind of night a supernatural being would attack. And it really did make Kayura long for her sword and armor but that had to wait until she was sure of what was going on.

Was it a ghost, an ogre perhaps, or perhaps something she hadn't thought of? Whatever it was, it was mutilating bodies and had to be stopped.

"No pockets," she said with a shake of her head.

"Wait. I'm going to see about transforming. I'll just do that. Hand over my phone, shift back."

She focuses muttering a word and she transforms back. And curses softly when her shoes and socks are not there.

"The armor has a sense of humor sometimes." Out of her pocket in her sweater she pulls out a cell phone and passes it over to him.

	"Magic is often a fickle thing. Be thankful that it's only a wardrobe malfunction." He said as he looked at the phone. He nods upon seeing the map. "Well done. This should lead us right to the source." And to whoever conjured these things up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I blame the kitsune who made this," she mutters. "At least I didn't loose my glasses." That had been horrible. She says another word and she is back in full armor wielding that sword. "Let's go. I'll handle the ghost. You can deal with the person. I... normally don't have to deal with people so I'm not sure how I should anyways." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"That is perhaps for the best." Keiji didn't say so, but the one behind this would likely either have to be killed or would be later. The girl clearly had experience dealing with monsters, but she seemed too innocent to have killed a human being. Keiji wouldn't wish the experience on anyone. "He hands her back the phone. "Lead on, you understand spirit-tracking better than I do."

Well he is right. She's a monster hunter, she has no idea how one should deal with someone who has turned a dangerous ghost into a weapon. She does know that it was wrong to do so.

"Thank you." She stares down at it then gives a pulled look.

"There s a cemitary close to here. It intersects with several strong lines." She thinks about it then nods.

"We go there. Look and see if there are people. It is after mid-night, no one should be there. If there is we have our ghost and the person controlling it. Be careful. She is much faster if she becomes unbound, dodging her my not be possible. Never give her a straight answer once she is freed. I'll be able to banish he though, once I force her into a straight fight," she both explains and instructs as she starts to move.

	Keiji nods, noting the girl's change from a nervous young woman into a competent professorial. She clearly knew what she was talking about. He follows her lead, scanning their surroundings for possible ambush points. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He thought she wasn't nervous? She still was. This was a strong ghost. It could possibly break into her armor since the moon is full and she is more vulnerable to damage tonight.

But the killings will stop tonight. They must stop.

She sinks a little to try and not be obvious. She is listening and watching when she notes that she was likely right as there are signs that someone it trying to contain something in the grave yard.

	Keiji saw the man in the distance, chanting something. Keiji din't recognize the caster, but he knew that type of magic. It was very similar to magic used in Hand resurrection rituals. "Do you see the spirit?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weakerlink 2011-07-03 08:07 pm UTC (link)
	She searches and sees something moving. She has to stare but the moon gives her enough light to see by. "Yes. Stop his spell. I'll deal with the ghost," she said in a flat tone indicating she has stopped caring how it's deal with and the grip on her sword tightens. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Very well then." Keiji darts toward the chanting figure. "If you value your life you will cease this at once!" The man turned and gaped before growling a retort. "Never! Not when I'm so close! This spirit is the weapon I need to take my rightful place among the Hand's elite!" He mutters a quick chant, sending a ball of fire at Keiji. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The younger warrior made her way towards the spirit. The spirit seeing someone who might respond tilted her head.

Her mask is firmly in place and she looks pretty in the moon light. She steps closer to Kayura.

"Am I pretty," the ghost asks.

Kayura gripped her sword tightly.

"You are s-so," she lied. But something was wrong. The magic had given Kuchisake-onna power. The ghost dropped her mask as the bloodied and rusted scissors appeared in her hands.

Keiji tumbles of the way of the fireball and and makes to strike at the caster. "What have you done!?"

The man utters a new phrase, causing Keiji's claws to strike against an invisible barrier.

"Fascinating, isn't it? I've discovered a way to use the spirit's of the dead to alter the nature of the creature's powers. I will mold her into the perfect weapon. She will slay my rivals and I will take my place as jonin."

"Fool! Do you have any idea the powers you're tampering with!?" Keiji strikes and darts, looking for any kind of weakness in the sorcerer's defenses.

"He has no idea," Kayura said with disgust.

Then had to be ready to defend against the bloody scissors. They scraped along the edge of her helmet as the arm of the ghost sailed past her head.

Then she struck with her armored hand putting enough strength into it with the mystical armor. She heard something like the cracking of bones.

"Am I pretty," the ghost demanded loudly then plunged her weapon into Kayura's armor striking the shoulder, the power behind the ghost and the spells strengthening her punched a hole into the armor and had Kayura scream.

After all she just got stabbed no one could blame her.

"Damn it!" Keiji curses. For now he ignores the sorcerer and heads for the Kuchisake-onna. While his own magic is not on par with the mad caster, they would have to do. He chants a few words, causing a small fire to burst at the spirit's feet.

"I will not be ignored, boy!" A new chant is spoken, and Keiji feels his body stiffening. Paralysis. "Kuchisake-onna, give me his eyes!"

The Kuchisake-onna is compelled to obey. She pulls her weapon free from the shoulder of Kayura getting a groan of pain.

The ghost walks forward snipping the scissors in the air and leans in close to Keiji. "Am I pretty?"

And suddenly the sound of something heavy hits the ground and in rush Kayura sans her helmet is right behind the ghost. Thanks the Kami for supernatural speed.

"No. But let's change that shall we," she informed the ghost coldly before sinking the blade through the ghost and the ghost gave out a strangled scream.

"No! My Kuchisake-onna!"

The wizard's distracted by the wounding of his creature, allowing Keiji to free himself from the spell. He calls out a chant of his own.

"Fool! You are no the sorcerer I am!" He goes to put up another barrier to block Keiji's attack..except nothing came. The spell in fact disconnected the limb of a nearby tree, causing it to drop on the sorcerer, driving him to the ground in unconsciousness.

	Kayura grinned in a very grim and almost violent manner. But then turned her gaze on the Kuchiska-onna taking pity on the ghost. "Time to rest in peace," she informed the ghost and prepared to banish her to that from which she came. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Keiji made his way to the downed wizard, but he watched what Kayura was doing as well. He'd never seen an exorcism before. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	What she does is like one. It is obvious though that she has done this before. The words and gestures she uses are time honored and are to help let the ghost rest at long last. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Keiji reaches the downed mage just as he was stirring. A quick kick to jaw sent the man back into unconsciousness. He watched to see if Kayura's efforts paid off. He was ready if they didn't. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	When she is done she puts her sword up. There is no longer any danger and she can feel the drain of using her armor is finally getting to her. "It's done." She winces poking the wound in her shoulder. "Whoever you need to take him to? Please don't mention me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clawed_progeny 2011-07-04 12:36 am UTC (link)
	"Mention, who?" He smiled and gave her a bow before picking up the sorcerer. "Arigatou." He then turned and left. (Reply to this)(Parent)
