~Snowy Unrest~ (Demo and Saya) [P]

Posts : 372

The weather was its usual. Moist, cloudy, mist drooping low to the ground, as if it were being weighted down by something invisible. The air was thick, wet and humid. This was the kind of weather that Demo disliked. It made him feel wet, icky, and sticky; and like a cat, he did not like feeling this way. However, today Demo was to go out on a very crucial mission. The mission involved a criminal who has killed the leader of the Snowy Village, having taken control of the village now. It was his duty, along with Saya, to bring this criminal to justice and maybe kill him if need be. This criminal was the very reason why Demo was the way he was. Peace was still draining from the world. Anger, negative drive, selfishness, greed, and envy were becoming a greater power in the world of the shinobi, and Demo didn't want himself to be consumed by that so, he has this dream of his, where he wants the world to someday be more peaceful then cruel. Though, it may seem selfish of him, he reminds himself that he just doesn't want it for himself but for everyone that exists in this bipolar like world. He hoped someday that the world would change.

The morning was just as bad as the weather. Awaking from his bed, his skin stuck to the sheets as his body sweated to keep cool as the humidity rose in the village. After getting out of bed, he took a nice, cool shower. This shower was more so different then the others. Demo was not smiling, or laughing, not even grinning. All he could think about was the mission at hand. "Its my duty to help this village, so that it can reach stability again..." The snowy village was really the only thing he could think about, as he was very serious about the situation at hand. After the shower, he headed into his room, got dressed, and left out the front door in a hurry.

There were hardly any villagers around the village, as they too probably did not like the weather either. As Demo walked the market street, the street was not filled by the voices of fellow villagers but by their AC's that ran outside their houses, keeping the houses cool. Wishing he had an AC, Demo walked up the stairs and into the air-conditioned store that sold ninja supplies. "Hello, sir, may I get twenty kunai, twenty shuuriken, thirty paper bombs, two roles of ninja wire, and two boxes of ninja string?" he asked as he handed the man the correct amount of ryo. After about ten minutes of being in the back, the salesman brought the items purchased out and handed them to Demo. Putting them away on his body properly, he said thanks in a monotone voice and began to walk about of the small, desolate shop. "You don't seem yourself today Demo.." said the salesman. Demo looked up at the piece of gray sky that could be seen from the door. "Yeah, well, lets just say today is just...a bit to cloudy. Both in my mind, and the world." he said walking out the door.

As he walked towards the village gates to await for Saya to show up, he took a seat on a near by bench. Sitting there he began to think about things, things that he hadn't brought up in a long time. "My mom and dad, they were both killed by greed, power, anger. Why, oh why does this keep happening to me though? I don't want to lose Saya during this mission, but she is required to come with me." Demo thought about this for several minutes as the world slowly continued to revolve around others and not himself. "This Divine One....maybe-" Demo cut himself off from thinking anymore and sat up and proclaimed, "No! Today, I will be a hero and relieve the Snowy Village of a murderer!" he said, knowing no one would hear him amongst the loud noises of ACs'.
After yelling, he disappeared in a flash, reappearing near the village gates. Hopefully, Saya would appear in the distance soon. "Always late. That damned armor makes her so slow.." he said with a very small giggle to himself. His day began to lighten up.

Always late? Saya was never late. If anything, Saya was always early. Even now she had been waiting for close to twenty minutes before Demon finally showed up. Perhaps he had simply forgotten her professional habits when on duty, in the time she had been gone. Indeed, it was close to six months that Saya was gone, reequipping herself, and mastering her new sword. Perhaps it was just the new armor that Demo didn't recognize. No longer was she simply covered in a patchwork of steel squares and leather, now she had a dragon's coat. Steel scales covered her from shoulders to shins, the hand forged metal simply glistening in the sun. It'd been some time, and she had to even wonder if Demo know about her promotion.

"Demo Sensei." she says quietly, taking a few steps closer from behind him. Behind her demon mask she grins, her hands free of her typical spear. Saya's cloak looked completely different than before, giving her a new and more streamlined look. Indeed, the new cloak was even lighter, and stronger, than her previous design. "I have been waiting, I was wondering when you would get here. I am prepared to travel whenever you are ready to go." she continues, the voice behind the mask unmistakably Saya's. The mask and helmet were also a dead give away.

Beneath her cloak she no doubt held a great many weapons. As she stands there waiting, her left hand rests atop the handle of one of her new swords. She drags a fingertip across the lace bindings of the handle, just itching to put her newfound talents to proper use. "This looks to be a very important mission. I am eager to get started. Liberating a people from a tyrant is always a noble goal."
