I'm laying under the cherry blossom tree, hands behind my head, waiting for something to happen. It's one of those rare nights where not much happens right away. I look up at the cherry blossoms, Madarao, my ghost dog, laying next to me, Sen Kagemiya, one of my friends from the Night Troops who's half-ayakashi (half-demon), is on the roof with Souji Hiura, who's also in the Night Troops that isn't part ayakashi but has a body like one, and is looking at a mechanical pencil...he's kinda obsessed with 'em, and Tokine Yukimura, best friend from childhood who I have a major crush on, not sure she's late which is unlike her so I'm getting a bit worried. "Anything yet, Madarao?" I ask just out of curiousity although I know he'd tell me if something was wrong.
"No nothing yet... sadly." Madarao answers, sighing.
"Whatddya mean sadly? We finally get a chance to relax a bit." Okay I admit, it is getting boring.
"It's just... werid and unlikely."
Sen and Hiura jump down from the roof, walk over, and Hiura leans on the tree, still looking at the pencil, while Sen sits in a branch.
"I agree with Madarao. It's been what? Thirty minutes? There's usually one here by now." Sen says looking down.
"Yea... I know." I look up again at the flowers, lost in my thoughts. Did I mention that they're blooming out of season? AGAIN.
Tokine finally walks over with her ghost dog, Hakubi.
"Man, you're late Tokine. What kept you?" I ask, sitting up.
"Yeah I know I'm late Yoshimori. I was doing homework." She says in a bit of annoyed tone then sneezes and coughs a bit. Well that's a lie but I'll let it slide for now.
"Honey, you really shouldn't have come with-" Hakubi starts then covers his mouth since she shot a glare at him saying, 'Shut up. We don't need Yoshimori to start worrying.'
After a bit of silence I pull out a carton of coffee milk, open it, and start drinking it.
"Yoshi, the more you drink that sweet junk the faster your teeth are gonna rot." Tokine comments, obviously more annoyed, now sitting next to me with Hiura and Sen nodding in agreement.
"How can you drink that crap anyway?" Sen asks with a small smirk on his face.
"Shut up! I was getting tired and sugar's my source of energy!" I say to both but as soon as I finish that statement there's a huge BANG on the other side of the school, we all sense something, or someone, enter, plus a few flashes of light.
I say what I'm sure everyone is thinking, "What the hell was that?!" I get up and run over, everyone else following. Once I get there there's... I don't know A LOT of ayakashi.
"Heh... Nevermind." I say my usual loud voice going quiet and staring in awe at the one ayakashi in front of me. I should probably explain what this one looks like. Well, it's giant, probably about two or maybe even three stories high, a horse shaped face with a single, sharp, long, horn on its forehead, four long arms, two on each side, leading down to four giant, clawed, hands, four long legs with giant hooves for feet, and six long, probably poisenous, snakes all connecting to his back, there's even some wrapped around his arms. And, of course, there's dragons here too but they just look like your usual, everday, sort of dragon, nothing special about 'em.
Sen is back on the roof, he normally keeps watch in case any more demons deicide to ruin the party and Hiura's arm extends from his hand to make his sword, getting in a stance. It brings us back into reality by speaking in a deep, cold, hard voice,
"So... are you two the Kekkaishi of this wonderful land?" I can tell it's talking about me and Tokine, no one needs to tell me that. We get that alot.
"And if we are?!" I answer my loud voice back again.
"Well then I'll have to get rid of all of you." It says evily before Hiura slices at it with his sword, not even asking for permission which he does at times. The demon defends itself with its arm, not making a single scratch or dent or anything. "I can sense your not a Kekkaishi so I'll start with you." It then sends four fireballs, one from each hand, at Hiura only one barely hitting him though so it burns through the uniform he's wearing.
"Hiura! Get back! This one isn't a match for you!" I command knowing he'd listen and not wanting anyone to get hurt or worse from this thing.
"Understood." Hiura nods and jumps back on the roof, his burn slowly healing itself as he watches.
I don't notice that it was preparing another fireball in its hand while we were talking and as soon as I turn my head back to it, it sends the fireball at me. With no time to defend myself, I fall to the ground with a "Woah!" coming from my mouth as the fireball hits a tree behind me, engulfing it in flames immeditly. I stand up and go to attack it but Tokine stops me by putting her hand on my shoulder, "What?" I ask, keeping my eyes on it but my gaze slowly starts moving to her. She coughs a couple times before speaking,
"Don't you think its werid that the other ones aren't doing anything?"
I just now noticed it since she mentioned it,
"Yeah I guess. So?" I keep my voice quiet like her's.
"It doesn't feel right. It's like they're waiting for something. Like a signal or waiting for the bigger ones to fall."
I smile slightly, "Guess we'll find out- OW!!!" I almost scream in pain as I look back at the demon. It sent one of its damned snakes at my right shoulder, and let me tell you that those fangs are sharp and hurt like crazy. Tokine takes her hand back as soon as I say the word 'Ow.'
"Are you alright?" She asks, worry in her voice, Sen and Hiura turning to see what happened and they're eyes widen but they don't move, and the ayakashi laughing in satisfaction evily.
"Do I look like I'm having the time of my life?" I answer through my teeth, pain in my whole right arm. I make a kekkai with my left hand around the snake's head, still clinging to my shoulder, "Metsu!" the kekkai gets destroyed along with the snake's head. I back up a bit, clamping my hand on my shoulder feeling blood and poisen where it bit me as I watch it grow another head except it has another one with it, making seven heads this time instead of six. "So it can double its heads when one gets destroyed? This is gonna be fun." I mutter quietly before saying louder, "That the best you can do?! That was just weak and pitiful! It's gonna take alot more than that to get rid of me!!"
"URGH!!! STUPID, COCKY KEKKAISHI!!! I WILL KILL YOU AND I'LL DO IT IN A MATTER OF SECONDS!!!" It yells at me but all I do is laugh at it disblievingly,
"Well, someone has some anger issues don't they? Heh. Good luck with killing me tonight! 'Cause I don't plan on dying!!"

Chapter End.
Ok I'm trying to deicide if I wanna continue it so please tell me if I should. I apologize for any MAJOR shortness. And I am also planning on having some Naruto characters come in later. If I do it'd be Sasuke, possibly Naruto, and a very slim chance of Sakura/Garaa. So you Naruto fans got that to look forward to. (Not sure if I'm gonna put 'em in. It's a possibility)
Hope you enjoyed this chapter. (:
