Demon Hunting

Slowly Yuki shifts his gaze, scanning over the village from the top of his house as he takes another bite of the fruit he had been given by one of the females in the village, apparently he eat to much meat and needed to eat more of other types of food, though he would have been content with simply meat and bread but such a fate as eating other foods had been pushed upon him by some of the females in the village and Yuki knew he couldn't resist there 'charms' so he had submitted to eating other things. Though it wasn't to bad at least he thought as he chewed up the bit of apple in his mouth as he slowly shifts his gaze while scanning over his village. As he scanned over his village Yuki thought upon what all he needed to have built and what all needed to be improved upon. He had been getting people in from his excursions to other villages and other places so now he had to think of what all his people will need. " Being a leader isn't an easy job... " Yuki murmurs lightly to himself as he lets out a soft sigh before taking another bite of his apple and begins to chew up the bit in his mouth. Yuki had a few ideas of things that he should build, perhaps some more housing or even some training facilities for more warriors, all of the half-breeds ideas sounded good to him. However the half-breeds day quickly begins to change as a high pitched scream comes from someone on the outskirts of the village, a scream that causes the half-breed to shift his attention towards the sound as he quickly moves into action. Turning his attention towards the scream Yuki bites down onto the apple in his mouth to keep it held in place as he jumps from the roof of his house and quickly begins to rush forwards towards the origin of the screaming. Another scream follows the first as woman backs away from a demon beast that moves closer to her, two others stand not far behind it rutting through the food she had dropped. As he drew closer Yuki spotted the demon beast about ready to pounce onto a female from his village and the sight made a growl escape the half-breeds lips as he rushed forwards while reaching back for the blade resting on his back. As Yuki draws closer to the beast it steps forwards and jumps forwards moving to pounce onto the female. Whizzing past Yuki went an arrow that strikes the demon beast before it fully pounce onto the woman it was after. The arrow strikes the beast causing it to let out a cry of pain as it falls to the ground. Though the arrow had went flying by him Yuki continues his charge and moves up to the downed demon beast before he brings his blade down onto the thing, cleaving it in two.

EXP & PWC: 528

The woman lays on the ground frozen as she watches Yuki come up to the demon beast and cleave it into with his colossal blade. The other two demon beasts notice what is going on and turn there attention to Yuki and begin to growl at him as they notice he has taken out one of there own. The two demon beasts growl at the half-breed and one of them rushes forwards towards Yuki. Yuki turns and holds his ground, putting himself between the woman from his village and the demon beast. Before the demon beast can get to Yuki to strike at him, another arrow whizzes past Yuki and strikes the demon beast in the leg, clipping its leg right out from under it and causing it to fall to the ground. As the demon beast falls to the ground Chamilia speaks up, " Good shot. " She says to one of the six rangers standing in a line with there bows ready. When the demon beast went down Yuki didn't wasit any time in quickly advancing forwards again striking out with his blade to cleave another of the demon beasts in two. Once he had cleave the beast in two he glances back to the line of rangers with Chamilia standing next to them. The third demon beasts watches still growling and when the male closest to it, Yuki, wasn't looking it quickly charged forwards going straight for Yuki. Chamilia kept her gaze set upon her commander Yuki and as she noticed the demon beast moving towards him she quickly drew back the arrow knocked on her bow string and took aim at the demon beast before loosing the arrow, " Sir look out! " She yells as she looses the arrow. Before the demon beast could lash out at Yuki the arrow Chamilia had loosed flys through the air and strikes it in the eye socket causing it to let out a cry of pain before it turns and begins to run away. Yuki had quickly turned his attention to the demon beast when Chamilia had spoken but as he looks at the creature it is already moving away so Yuki decides not to go after it. Instead Yuki stabs his blade into the ground before he moves over to the female that lay on the ground in a panic heap. " Are you ok? " Yuki asks as he carefully scoops the female up in his arms. The female still panicking doesn't fight back as Yuki picks her up, though she managed to node her head faintly but she is unable to form words at the moment. Chamilia and the six rangers with her quickly move up to form a crescent line in front of Yuki and the female he now holds. Chamilia kneels down next to Yuki and the female as she reaches out with her hand and places it on the female's shoulder, " It's alright, calm. You are safe now. " Chamilia says in a soft voice. The woman looks to Chamilia for a moment before turning her attention back to Yuki and takes hold of his coat before she leans up and presses her head into his chest and begin to cry.

EXP & PWC: 558

Yuki holds the female close to him as she presses into his chest and begins to cry, a soft sigh escaping him as he glances to Chamilia " You and your rangers did good. " Yuki comments as he glances to the rangers around him. Chamilia slowly with draws her hand from the woman's shoulder as she gives a faint nod, " We came as soon as we could when I heard the scream. I'm sorry sir. I don't know how the thing got this close to the village... " Chamilia says as she lowers her head. " Its ok, but we can't let it get away. If there are more out there in the woods somewhere they still pose a threat to the village and the people living here. " Yuki says as he looks down at the woman crying into his chest as she clings to him. Chamilia gives a nod of acknowledgment to what Yuki has said, " I know.. I will track the beast and find where it went. " she says as she looks at Yuki. Yuki looks to Chamilia for a moment before nodding his head, " Alright. Be careful and come back here as soon as you find where it has went to. " he says to Chamilia before turning his attention back to the female in his arms. Chamilia gives a nod and raises to her feet before turning her attention to the rangers, " Rangers. Our leader needs you all to be vigilant and watch over the village while I am gone tracking that demon. " As she finishes speaking one of the rangers speaks up, " But Chamilia we should go with you. " The female says as she looks to her commander Chamilia. Chamilia shakes her head, " No, you are needed here to protect the village and our leader. I will be alright. " She says with a soft smile. The female ranger remains silent as she gives a nod of acknowledgment to what she had been told, dropping the matter. Yuki glances to the rangers for a moment as he slowly raises to his feet, " I know you would like to go with your commander but you are needed here to protect the village like Chamilia has said.. " He says with a soft sigh as he shifts his gaze between the female rangers. Chamilia looks to Yuki, " I will return as soon as I can. " She says, bowing her head before she turns and quickly rushes off into the forest. Yuki nods to Chamilia and watches as she runs of into the forest after the demon beast. The rangers also watch Chamilia as she runs into the woods and though they wanted to join her they remain behind since it is there orders to do so. Yuki turn his attention to the rangers, " I would like you six to patrol the village border and keep an eye out for any more of those beasts. Go get the warriors to help you keep watch. " Yuki says to the six.

EXP & PWC: 517

The six rangers look to Yuki as he gives them there new orders and each nod there head as one of them speaks up, " Yes sir, we will do our best. " She says before they quickly dash off to do as they have been ordered. As the six dash off Yuki glances down at the female and lets out a soft sigh as he sees that she had fallen into a slumber. Seeing she had fallen into slumber Yuki glances around for a moment before he moves over to his weapon and carefully pulls it from the ground and slips it back onto the harness on his back before he heads off with the female. As he moves down the street people had begin to gather having heard the scream, " Whats going on Yuki? " one of the villagers asked, " Is she alright? " Another asks the half-breed as the see the female he is carrying. Yuki slows to a stop, his gaze shifting between the villagers for a moment, " Yes she is alright she passed out. I need someone to take her home and to watch over her... " He says before handing the passed out female to some villagers who are willing to take her back to her house. Once the passed out female had been taken care of Yuki continues to speak, " I need all of you to remain calm. There has been sightings of some kind of demons on the outskirts of the village. " Already as Yuki makes mention of demons and a threat the villagers begin to grow panicked. Seeing the villagers grow panicked Yuki sighs again, " It's alright I assure you. The rangers took down the demons and now there commander is tracking down one that escaped. Once she has returned I will take the rangers and deal with the threat. I need all of you to remain calm.. " Yuki says, trying to keep the order and peace in his village. The words from there leader help sooth the villagers however they still remain on edge and a bit panicked at the matter, " HOw many are there? " One villager asks. " Will they come back? " Another asks as questions begin to bombard the half-breed, " Should we take shelter in our houses? " " Everyone hide your babies, hid your sisters, hide your husbands cause the demons will eat them! " One more panicked villager yells out. As things quickly go down hill for the half-breed he lets out another sigh, " They aren't going to come back and no they won't eat anyone. I will make sure of that. Everyone just go back to your houses and I will send some guards around to check on all of you and protect you. " Yuki says to all the villagers. Finally the villagers begin to back away from there half-breed leader and start to move back to there houses to take shelter from the demons.

EXP & PWC: 516

Now that everyone begins to move away from him and head back to there houses, Yuki watches for a moment before he begins to move, another sigh escaping him before he grumbles as he realizes he had dropped his apple when the demons had attacked and he was starting to like it but now he would have to get another. In the center of town stood the four warriors, battle ready and waiting for Yuki. Unlike the rangers they where trained for melee combat so they would be following Yuki around to help him with keeping watch. Making his way to the center of town Yuki spots the four warriors that seem to be waiting for him since one of the young lads waves to him once they notice his approach. " What happened sir, we heard there was some kind of beast attack. " One of the armor clad warriors says s Yuki draws closer. Yuki looks to the warrior and gives a faint nod, " But thankfully the young woman they went after was not injured. ". The warrior gives a light sigh of relief, " Thank the gods. Sorry we didn't come we were on the other side of the village training. But we are ready to go now just show ups where these demon bastards are and we will slaughter them. " the warrior says before he turns to the others and they let out a cheer along the lines of " HOORAAAHHH ". Yuki smiles as he sees that his warriors are ready for combat. " It's alright, you are here now and that's what counts. " Yuki says to the warriors as he nods his head, " Now. I have the rangers patrolling the village perimeter on foot looking for any more of these demons. Chamilia wounded one of them and it ran off into the forest and she is following after it as we speak. We will also patrol the village to make sure none of these demon's come into the village and harm any of the villagers. As soon as Chamilia comes back with the news we will plan accordingly. " Yuki says to the warriors. The four listen to there leader as he gives them the low down and as he finishes speaking one of them speaks up, " Alright sir. Lead the way and we will follow. " He says before the four let forth another cheer " HOORAAHHH! ". Yuki is glad to hear that his warriors are ready for battle he can only hope that they are physically ready as well, that is if battle should come this day. Taking a moment, Yuki calls upon his dark magic to call upon the warriors of his kin to come and aid them as he summons forth five wolf mounts for himself and the warriors. The warriors stand back and watch as there leader calls upon his kin to come and aid them and as the five large wolves come forth they look at the large beasts before looking to Yuki, " Sir? " One of the warriors asks as they look at Yuki.

EXP: & PWC: 534

Yuki reaches out and pets one of the wolves he called upon as he looks to the warrior, " My friends will aid us in our task. They are swift and are capable of fighting as well. They are our allies in any conflict and my brothers. " Yuki says before he climbs into the wolf and lightly pets the beast, " Do not be afraid they will not hurt you. " He says to the warriors with a teasing smile. The warriors looking at the wolves as they listen to there leader and if he says its alright then there isn't a problem is there? After all they are his brothers and there allies.. At the comment from there leader the four warriors climb onto the wolves he had called forth, " It's not like we are afraid of them or anything. " One of the other warriors says. " Yeah, we just don't want to hurt these big guys. " Another adds with a grin as he lightly pats the wolf he is sitting on on the head as it begins to move some. " Ah. I see... Well that is good. " Yuki murmurs lightly as he looks at the warriors, " Now, if you are ready then we shall be on our way to patrol the village. " The four looked to Yuki and each nods, " We are ready sir! " One of the warriors says. With that Yuki turns his attention ahead of him and gives the wolf he sits on the signal to move. The wolf Yuki rests upon begins to move and the other four begin to move as well following behind Yuki in a box formation. As the wolf begins to move he rests on, Yuki begins to shift his gaze and glance around as he reaches out with his sensing ability searching for any sighs of the demon beasts that had attacked the female from his village. Following along behind him, each on a wolf, the warriors also begin to look around and scan the area in search of the demons that the rangers had described to them when they came to get them. As he shifts his gaze Yuki begins to think about the attack upon the female and wonders if Chamilia will be alright going out there alone. He starts to wonder if perhaps he should have sent along another ranger to be her back up. Shifting his gaze, Yuki glances behind him for a moment at the four warriors before turning his gaze back ahead of them. This time he thought they are lucky since it was only three however next time they may not be so lucky if more demon beasts decide to come out of the forest or even if bandits attack the village. If that where the case then he would need more able bodied people to defend the village. With this in mind Yuki lets out a muffled grumble as he shifts his gaze while scanning over the village now that the villagers had retreated in doors.

EXP & PWC: 517

As Yuki shifts his gaze scanning the village one of the rangers calls out to him, " Sir, Chmilia has returned! " she calls out as she waves her arm to get Yuki's attention. When he heard the ranger call out to him Yuki shifts his attention to her and as he hears that Chamilia has returned a soft smile takes form on his face, " Lead the way. " he says to the ranger. The ranger nods and begins to move, " This way sir, but... " The ranger cuts herself off as she continues to move leading the way. Yuki gives the signal to the warriors with him as he begins to follow after the ranger with the mounted warriors following after him. " But what? " Yuki asks the ranger wondering why she had fallen silent. The ranger looks to Yuki for a moment with sadness in her gaze and still she remains silent as she turns her gaze from her leader as she leads Yuki to where Chamilia is with another ranger. Chamila held her side, the clothing around her side covered in blood along with some other injuries on her form that ooze blood. As Yuki spots the injured Chamilia he lets out a growl as he quickly jumps from his wolf mount and moves over to her side, " Chamilia are you alright? " He asks as he reaches out to take her from the ranger. The warriors come to a stop and remain on there mounts as they watch Yuki. Chamilia looks to Yuki and groans in pain, " I-I'm fine Yuki. " She murmurs before letting out another groan of pain as she begins to sink to the ground. Yuki listens to Chamilia as he begins to hold her and when she starts to sink to the ground he picks her up and supports her weight with his strength. " No your not Chamilia, you need to get treatment for your injuries. " One of the rangers says before she looks to Yuki, " If she does not get treated she could die.. " She says as she looks at Yuki. Looking to the ranger a frown takes form on Yuki's face as he listens to her comment about Chamilia. " Alright. I'll take her to get treated but I need you to please keep watch... " Yuki says as he looks at the ranger. The ranger reaches out and places a hand upon Chamilias shoulder and through she was reluctant she gives a faint nod to Yuki's order, " Alright sir... but please take care of her. " the ranger says as she pulls her hand from Chamilia and begins to step back. Yuki nods to the rangers comment, " I will. " He looks to the mounted warriors, " I want you four to continue on with the patrol with the rangers. " Yuki says to the four warriors before he begins to move. The four warriors look to Yuki as he gives them the orders and they each nod, " Yes sir! " They answer before they give there mounts the signal to move and begin to move back on patrol with the rangers.

EXP & PWC: 540

Holding Chamilia in his arms Yuki glances down at her, his gaze shifting over her form as he moves down the street quickly. Resting in Yuki's arms, Chamilia looks up at her leader and begins to speak, " I followed after the demon but I ended up being ambushed by more of its kind- " Before she could continue speaking Yuki speaks up cutting her off, " Don't worry about that right now just rest. " Yuki says as he looks down at Chamilia for a moment before lifting his gaze and glances around for a moment before he sets his gaze upon the hospital. As he sets his gaze upon the hospital Yuki shifts and makes his way to it before entering into the structure and taking her over to one of the empty beds and carefully sets her down on the bed. As Yuki sets the injured Chamilia onto an empty bed one of the healers makes there way over and looks down at Chamilia, " My word. " the healer says with a soft gasp as she lifts her gaze to look at Yuki, " What happened to her? ". Hearing the question Yuki lifts his gaze and looks to the healer, " She was attacked by some demons while scouting in the woods. " Yuki says before turning his attention back to Chamilia. Chamilia lays on the bed, looking up at Yuki, " I didn't find where the thing went... ". The healer listens to Yuki and nods her head faintly, " I take it, it has something to do with the demon attack we heard about earlier? " The healer says as she looks down at Chamilia and begins to inspect her injuries. Yuki gives a faint nod as he glances to the healer for a brief moment, " Yes and I need to go to take care of it. " Yuki says as he looks down at Chamilia. Understanding his obligation the healer gives a faint nod, " Go on, we will make sure she is taken care of. " Chamilia reaches up and places a hand on Yuki's cheek as she looks up at him, " Don't worry about me Yuki you go on and make sure the village is safe. " she says as she looks up at Yuki. As Chamilia brings her hand up to his cheek Yuki leans into the touch as he looks down at her while listening to her as she begins to speak. " .. You just rest here and get better. I'll see you when I return. " Yuki says as he reaches down and runs a hand through Chamilias hair before he begins to pull away from her as he turns and leaves the hospital. Chamilia watches Yuki as he begins to pull away from her and as he does so she rests her arm back by her side as she watches him walk off. As he leaves the hospital Yuki lets out a light sigh as he shifts his gaze, glancing around for a moment as he thinks upon what has happened with his commander and one of his females.

EXP & PWC: 521

Already Yuki could feel the anger as it grew within him at this attack upon his females and his village. As he moves down the street Yuki lets out a faint growl before he raises into the air and shifts his gaze before spotting the group of mounted warriors. As he spots the mounted warriors Yuki begins to move through the air towards them and as he comes to them he begins to descend in the air as he calls out to them, " It's time we assemble and move out. We have to find these demons and eradicate them. As they hear there leader the four warriors bring there mounts to a stop and look to Yuki as he descends to the ground next to them. " Is Chamilia alright? " a voice from behind Yuki calls out as one of the rangers drops to the ground in a crouched stance behind Yuki. Yuki turns to face the ranger and gives a faint nod, " Yes she will be. She is being looked after but right now we have other matters to attend to. " The ranger slowly raises to her feet and nods her head faintly, " The demons... We have to find them right? " Yuki gives a faint nod to the ranger's question, " Yes. We need to make sure this doesn't happen again to anyone in the village. " Already the wolf that Yuki had been riding arrives and moves up to his side. " Alright sir. You give the orders and we will slaughter these demon bastards. " one of the warriors says to Yuki. Yuki gives a nod as he climbs into the wolf that had come to stand at his side, " Yes, I want all the rangers to be assembled as well. We will go out and take care of this demon threat and insure the safety of the village " Yuki says before he gives the wolf the signal and it begins to move. Yuki leads the way back to the center of the village where he is met up by the rest of the rangers. Coming into the center of the village Yuki glances at the rest of the rangers for a moment, " Alright, now that we are all here we can move out and find these demons. " Yuki says before he gives his wolf the signal and begins to move heading for the outskirts of the village. The four warriors begin to follow after Yuki as do the six rangers. Leading the way to the outskirts of the village Yuki makes sure to head the way the demon had attacked and the same way he believed Chamilia had went when she had left the village in search of the demon beast that had fled the village after being shot. As he makes his way towards the outskirts of the village Yuki reflects upon his day before the demon beast attacked the woman from his village and how this have changed with in a matter of moments from him simply enjoying na apple while relaxing on his roof to going demon hunting now.

EXP & PWC: 527

As he made it to the outskirts of the village Yuki came to as top and glanced over his shoulder for a moment as he thinks upon what he is going to be asking his small group of rangers and warriors to do.. The rangers come to a stop behind Yuki along with the warriors and the two groups watch there leader waiting to see what he is doing and for his next orders. With a soft sigh Yuki climbs down from his wolf and turns to face the group of ten fighters he had. " I know I am asking you to risk your lives for the village and that this wont be the last time that I asked you to risk your lives for our village and its people. " Yuki says as he slowly shifts his gaze between the ten standing before him. " I... trust in your skills as fighters and believe that you will do the right thing when the time comes and put your lives on the line for the village. This does not mean you will be dying.. No, I don't plan on losing any of you in this skirmish. " Yuki adds as he shakes his head faintly. " .... I know you probably wont like this but I will be doing the bulk of the fighting. " Already as Yuki begins to inform the group that they wont be doing much fighting the warriors begin to let out sighs of anguish as they wished to fight the demons along side there leader. " However, this does not mean you will not get to fight.. My plan is simple. I will be the vanguard spear heading the attack if we come across a large group of the beasts. The rangers will stay back and provide support fire with there bows and the warriors will act as the rangers guard and protect them should any of the beasts get to close and threaten the rangers. " Yuki says as he shifts his gaze still while giving what he hoped would be a good battle plan. " If there is a great deal of demons then I won't be able to deal with them all so you may have to fend for yourselves if I am not able to deal with them. " Yuki says before he glances to the four warriors, " You will be the first line of defense should any demons get past me. You four will need to defend the rangers while they try and kill as many of the beasts as they can from a far. " Yuki says as he shifts his gaze between the warriors. The warriors each give a nod, " We understand sir and we will do our best to defend the rangers. " The warrior says to his leader. " Yeah, you can count on us! " Another warrior adds in as he lifts his sword into the air, " We will defend our fellow fighters with our lives. " He adds to what his warrior companion has said already. Yuki listens to his warriors as they speak up and he gives a faint nod to there statements before he shifts his attentions and looks to the rangers.

EXP & PWC: 533

After shifting his attention to the rangers, Yuki shifts his gaze over them for a moment before he begins to speak up, " I know you want revenge for what happened to Chamilia.. It is one of the reasons why I am going too but also for the village and the villagers as well, that is the main reason we go out to do this to insure the safety of the village. " Yuki says, to the rangers and to his entire group of fighters. One of the rangers nods her head faintly, " We understand sir. We do want revenge for what they did to Chamilia but we also want to show them they cannot mess with the village and get away with it. We will do our part to fight these beasts. " She finishes with a faint nod. Yuki listens to the ranger as she speaks and as she finishes speaking he lets out a soft sigh as he nods his head in return, " Alright. " He begins to speak as he glances between all of the ten he has with him, " There isn't much more to my battle plan aside from that. If things get to dangerous I want you ten to retreat back to the village and prepare for a counter attack. I will do my best to hold off the beasts before following after you back to the village. " As Yuki finishes speaking one of the warriors speaks up, " We are not just going to leave you behind with who knows how many demon beasts attacking you, we will stay and fight with you. " The warrior says in response to Yuki's comment to retreat back to the village. " We aren't going to leave our leader behind. " one of the ranger's speaks up along side the male warrior. The rest of the group where in agreement with the two's statements about leaving Yuki behind. Yuki listen's to the disagreements from his soldiers and gives a faint nod, " I understand your desire to help me however you six should know just what I am capable of doing. " Yuki comments as he glances to the rangers. Unlike the warriors some of the rangers had been there when Yuki had taken back the village from the bandits. The ranges that where there nod there heads, " But still, we should stay and help you... " One of the females voices as she looks at Yuki. Though they had not seen what Yuki had done when he had taken back the village they had heard of what he had done and the monster he had transformed into and knew that he was not a human but rather a half-demon. " This is my orders for you if things get out of hand, you will retreat back to the village and prepare for a counter attack, this is the end of the discussion do you all understand? " Yuki says as he looks at the group. For a moment there is silence between the ten before they finally speak up, " We understand. " the ten say together each one giving a nod of acknowledgment to what Yuki had said. Yuki gives a faint nod, " Good.. " He murmurs lightly as he looks at the group. " Now, before we move out you all need to make sure you are ready for this and have everything you will need. " Yuki says, his gaze still shifting between the group of ten. Each of the warriors and rangers begin to check each other to make sure that they have what they will need, the rangers making sure they have a good deal of arrows while the warriors check each others armor to make sure it is good to go. As the rangers finish one of them look to Yuki as she speaks up, " We are good to go sir. " she says with a light smile. " As are we sir. " One of the warriors says. When the two groups are ready Yuki gives a faint nod and climbs back onto his mouth, " Alright lets go. " He says before he begins to move, heading into the forest.


EXP & PWC: 707

After having set out from his village with a small group of fighters, Yuki leads the way atop his mount through the forest, the group of four warriors follow close behind Yuki and a group of three rangers follow on either side of the small group, moving through the forest as they keep an eye out for danger. Lifting his head Yuki sniffs at the air some as he follows the scent of blood that still linger sin the air. Shifting his gaze Yuki glances around, glancing to the blood that dots the ground, something he had been following in the hope that it is the blood of the demon since it seemed to be going away from the village as apposed to going towards the village. As he shifts his gaze Yuki catches the sound of a growl that causes him to pause for a brief moment and shift his gaze towards the sound as he listens a bit harder and begins to hear the sound of more growling as well as beasts fighting. Raising his hand, Yuki gives the fighters with him the signal to stop as he listens to the sounds for a moment.

EXP & PWC: 204

" What is it sir? " one of the warriors speaks up in a hushed tone moments after they came to a stop upon Yuki's signal. Shifting his gaze, Yuki looks to the warrior for a moment before turning his gaze from the warrior as he speaks up, " I heard something that might be the demons we are looking for. The warrior that had asked the question shifts his gaze from Yuki and looks in the direction Yuki is looking. " Alright, let's go. " Yuki says as he turns his mount and begins to move towards the source of the sound, leading the warriors and rangers along with him. The group of warriors turn there mounts with Yuki and begin to follow after him while the rangers shift and move through the forest with there leader as well. As he drew closer Yuki begins to grow more confident that he has indeed found the beasts he is searching for as he begins to smell the same scent when the first three had shown up in his village. As the group draws closer the warriors and rangers begin to hear the sounds of beasts fighting not to far ahead of them as there leader had done.

EXP: 214

Drawing closer to the source of the sounds it grows louder and Yuki again raises his hand to give the signal for the group to stop before he climbs down from his wolf mount. The group of fighters come to a stop as well and watch Yuki as he climbs down from his mount. After climbing down from his wolf mount Yuki glances back to the warriors and rangers for a moment before he shifts his gaze back ahead of him as he moves forwards drawing a bit closer before he gazes through some brush and to some demon beasts, the same that had attacked one of his villages females. Yuki watches as two beasts seem to be fighting over the remains of one of there own as if it is food to them. Upon closer inspection Yuki realizes that the one they seem to be fighting over is the one that had been shot in the eye when it attacked his village. Shifting his attention Yuki looks to the warriors nad gives them the signal to dismount. Now that he had found the beasts it was time to get ready for the attack so they could deal with the demon beasts and get payback.

EXP: 210

The warriors follow the signal given to them by Yuki and climb from there mounts before they begin to move closer to there leader. Turning his gaze from the warriors Yuki glances to the rangers and gives them the signal as well to come closer. The rangers move through the forest and over to Yuki before coming to as top. As the two groups come closer to him Yuki begins to speak in a hushed tone, " The plan of attack hasn't changed. I want you four to cover the rangers while they fire at the beasts as I close in for melee. " Yuki says as he shifts his gaze between the two groups, " You four will defend the rangers if any of the beasts get to close to them and make sure they are able to preform there duty and you shall preform your duty as well. " As Yuki finishes speaking hie shifts his attention and glances in the direction of the demon beasts that continue to fight between each other. " Alright sir, we will do our best to insure the safety of the rangers. " one of the warriors says as they all four give a nod.

EXP: 205

With that, Yuki gives a faint nod and glances to the rangers, " Are you ready? " He asks as he shifts his gaze between the six females. The rangers look to Yuki and each give a faint nod of acknowledgement to let there leader know that they are ready. With the answer from the rangers as well Yuki shifts his gaze, " Alright, take your positions and once you are ready I will start the attack. " Yuki says before he pulls away from the group of warriors and rangers. With the order from there leader the group of warriors begin to move and get into position while the rangers do the same and take up a formation behind the group of warriors. Both groups wait in the trees for the attack to begin so they can advance forwards and begin there part in the fight. Yuki moves from the group and through the woods, drawing closer to the edge of the woods before he comes to a stop and glances in the direction of the warriors and rangers to make sure they are ready before he begins to take action and steps from the forest making himself known to the demon beasts.

EXP & PWC: 212

As Yuki steps from the forest one of the demon beasts catches the motion and quickly lifts its gaze and looks to the half-breed that came from the woods and begins to growl. The growling of the demon beast gets the attention of the other one fighting over the food and it to looks to the half-breed and begins to growl. In total there were roughly ten demon beasts in the pack. With the growling from the two the rest turn there attention to Yuki and one of the demon beasts slowly raises from the ground, though unlike the others this demon beast was much larger with bony spikes that protruded through the skin and stuck out from its body. As the large one stands it sets its attention upon the half-breed and begins to growl at him, its lips drawing back to reveal its fangs.. After coming to a stop Yuki shifts his attention, glancing at all the demon beasts before he shifts his attention to the one large one that had stood up and now growls and bears its fangs at him. Setting his gaze upon the demon beast Yuki figured that it must be the leader of the group.

EXP & PWC: 214

The head demon beast turned its attention to the two closes to the half-breed and snaps at them before gesturing towards Yuki. The two look to the lead demon beast as he snaps at them before turning there gaze to the half-breed and both quickly bolt for the half-breed. Yuki holds his ground, his gaze shifting to the two running at him and as they draw closer he reaches back and grips the handle of the blade resting on his back. The warriors moved forwards from the woods making there presence known as well however they remain a short distance away from there leader Yuki so he is between them and the demon beasts. The rangers as well move up and as they do two of the rangers let loose there arrows after taking aim at the two demon beasts charging at there leader. Before the two demon beasts can get to Yuki they are struck by the two arrows and fall to the ground as the rest of the demon beasts take notice of the group of warriors and rangers behind Yuki. Yuki glances down at the two demon beasts that had been charging at him but now rest on the ground after being shot by his rangers.

EXP & PWC: 220

With the two down the lead demon beast lets forth a roar of anger and this time three of the smaller demon beasts charge forwards and go straight for Yuki. As the demon beasts come at him Yuki sets his gaze upon the three as he tightens his grip on his weapon and as they come closer he brings his colossal blade around and looses a strike with his blade before the demon beasts get to him a howl echos through the air as an unseen force flys out in a straight line from where Yuki had struck with his sword, the force of the blast striking two of the three demon beasts and knocking them backwards and to the ground. The third managed to evade the attack from the half-breed and as it gets closer it jumps into the air, going straight for Yuki. Before he could react to the third demon beast that had evaded his attack it makes contact with him and as the beast hits him Yuki takes a step back as the beast bites down onto his shoulder, sinking its teeth into the half-breed's shoulder. As the demon beast collides with him and bites down onto his shoulder Yuki takes a half step back as he braces himself against the weight of the demon beast.

EXP: 229

As the demon beast begins to attack Yuki the rest of the group step forward and four of them rush straight for the line of warriors in front of the rangers. As the four demon beasts rush at the warriors the four warriors set there gaze upon the demon beasts and bring there shields in front of them as each of them begins to brace themselves against the charge, " Hold your ground. " One of the warriors says as he gazes at the demon beasts. The group of rangers taking refuge behind the warriors looks to the group of demon beasts coming at them and each one takes aim at the four demon beasts, however one takes aim at the demon beast attacking there leader. Letting forth a growl of pain Yuki releases his grasp on his blade and lets it fall to the ground before he takes hold of the demon beast and begins to lift it from the ground. As the demon beasts get to the warriors they collide with the warriors shields and push against the shield wall as they try to get past it and strike at the warriors behind the wall.

EXP: 204

The warriors keep there shields held high as the demon beasts begin to strike at them. As the demon beasts start to strike at the warriors the group of warriors begin to retaliate at the demon beasts and thrust out with there swords around the shields. While the warriors strike back at the demon beasts the rangers take aim at the demon beasts before loosing a volley of arrows past the warriors and into the demon beasts. While the warriors and rangers fought with the demon beasts, Yuki drops the demon he had picked up, letting it fall to the ground as he begins to growl at the leader of the beasts. The large demon beast leading the group of demons growls and snarls at the half-breed as it digs its claws into the ground as its gaze narrows while looking at Yuki. The leader of the demon beasts only holds its ground for a brief moment before it finally steps forwards, taking a few steps closer to Yuki as it gathers magical energy before launching a fire ball from its mouth aimed directly at the half-breed.

EXP & PWC: 204

As the beast launches the ball of flame at him, Yuki's gaze narrows as he lets out another growl as he brings his sword around and uses it as a shield as he calls upon his magical energy to form a shield of darkness around him to help block the ball of flame launched by the demon beast. After launching the ball of flame the demon watches as it flys towards the half-breed and when he brings up a barrier of darkness to block the attack the demon lifts its head into the air and lets forth an ear piercing howl. Not wishing to waste any time in launching a counter attack, Yuki dashes forwards, bursting through his own barrier now that it had been weakened by the attack loosed by the demon. Bursting through his barrier Yuki charges straight for the demon beast as he tightens his grip on his sword and brings it into the air as he jumps forwards and loses a quick downward virtical slash aimed to slice the leading demon beast in two just as he had done to the other demon beasts that attacked his village.

EXP & PWC: 202

Behind Yuki, the group of warriors and rangers still clash with the demon beasts. Having failed in there first attack the demon beasts had launched into another attack upon the group of warriors. This time as the demon beasts come at them the warriors take the initiative and as the demon beasts draw closer one of the warriors yells out, " Now! " the warrior yells bad all together the group step forwards and strike out with there shields, bashing the demon beasts in the head's as they come into attack them. As the warriors step forwards and strike out at the demon beasts the group of rangers let forth another volley of arrows at the demon beasts and down half of the group of demons that had begun to attack them. As Yuki launches into his attack the leader of the demon beasts watches the half-breed, growling at him as he charges forwards and as Yuki launches into his attack the demon beast launches another ball of flame at the half-breed as he draws in closer and unleashes his attack.

EXP & PWC: 200

This time as he charges at the lead demon beast Yuki is unable to bring up a barrier to block the incoming ball of flame launched by the demon and as he rushes towards the demon he is struck by the ball of flame and knocked back and to the ground as his coat ignites and catches a blaze. Releasing his grasp on his weapon as he hits the ground Yuki lets out a momentary howl of pain as his coat catches on fire and begins to burn as he starts to remove it while laying on the ground. Having caught the half-breed with his attack and knocked him to the ground the lead demon beast quickly begins to move forwards and advances upon the fallen half-breed. Just as Yuki gets himself put out the lead demon is upon him and as he comes upon the half-breed he brings his foot down and slams it into the half-breeds chest pinning him to the ground. Haven gotten the flames out Yuki finds the lead demon is upon him and before he can do anything a foot comes down and strikes him in the chest, knocking the air out of him and pinning him to the ground.

EXP & PWC: 209

Once the lead demon beast has the half-breed pinned to the ground it looks down at its prey and its lips begin to draw back as it growls and bears its fangs at the pinned half-breed. Pinned under the demon beasts foot Yuki gasps for air as he starts to struggle against the demon beast pinning it to the ground, however as he struggles he finds the beast is just as strong as he is. With the half-breed pinned to the ground the lead demon beast begins to gather magical energy and form a ball of flame in front of its mouth once again. The battle between the warriors and demon beasts continues, however the warriors have the demon beasts on the ropes as they engage the last few demon beasts that still remain alive. Glancing away from the fight before her, one of the rangers looks to there leader to see how his battle fairs, however as she looks to there leader she finds the male resting on the ground under the demon beast who is ready to attack the pinned half-breed. As she spots there leader pinned to the ground she lets out a soft gasp as she draws an arrow back on her bow and takes aim at the demon beast before loosing her arrow.

EXP & PWC: 229

The demon beast standing over Yuki forms a ball of flame in front of its mouth and gets ready to shoot it down at the trapped half-breed, however as it goes to shoot the half-breed with the ball of flame the arrow fired by the ranger comes flying through the air and strikes the demon beast in the neck which causes the demon beast to let out a howl of pain as it shifts and fires the ball of flame and instead of hitting the pinned half-breed the ball of flame crashes into the ground a few feet from Yuki's head. As he struggles against the beast Yuki watches as a ball of flame begins to form in front of its mouth, close enough so he could feel the heat of the flame. With his gaze locked on the beast he gets ready for the ball of flame to be launched at him unless he can break free, however before the beast can launch the ball at him something strikes it and causes it to miss fire and hit the ground not far from him with the magical attack. With the attack from one of his rangers catching the lead demon beast off guard and causing it to miss fire, Yuki takes the opening and begins to push back against the beast.

EXP & PWC: 225

Fighting back against the beast Yuki lets out a growl as he pushes the beast from atop him and rolls to the side before springing to his feet. The demon beast steps back from the half-breed as it shakes its head some before setting its attention back upon the half-breed and growls at him as blood flows from its neck. Looking back at the demon beast, Yuki growls at the creature as he swings his left arm up before swinging it down at the beast, loosing the chain hidden within his sleeve as he lashes out at the beast, smacking it in the face with his chain. The lead demon beast continues to growl at the half-breed until the chain strikes it in the face which causes it to snap at the half-breed before rushing straight at him. After striking the demon beast with his chain Yuki watches as it comes at him and as it does, Yuki brings his right arm up and swings it out, loosing the chain hidden with in his right sleeve and swings it around to catch the beasts leg before he yanks back with his arm, pulling on the chain.

EXP & PWC: 205

After catching the demon beasts leg with his chain, Yuki yanks back and causes the demon beast to slip but before it can fall the blades on the chain dig into its leg as the chain tightens around its leg and it is yanked from the ground. Drawing the beast from the ground, Yuki brings it back down and slams it into the ground. The beast lets out a brief howl as the blades on the chain dig into its flesh as it is ripped from the ground and tossed into the air before it comes crashing back to the ground, smashing into the earth as it lets out another howl of pain. Not giving the demon a chance to do anything now that it had come to rest upon the ground, Yuki tightens his grip on the chain and gives it another yank, this time yanking back so the demon beast would be draw to him. Before it can climb back to its feet, the demon beast is pulled from where it had landed and struggles against the half-breed, its claws digging into the earth as it fights back though as it does so the blades on the chain dig deeper into its flesh.

EXP & PWC: 207

As the beast begins to struggle against him, Yuki lets out a growl as he strikes out with his other chain, striking at the beast as it trys to fight back against him. Lashing out with his other chain, Yuki strikes the demon in the head once again with his chain. The demon beast struggles against the half-breed however when the second chain comes flying through the air and strikes it in the face it's defiance wavers for a brief moment and cause it to stumble in its resistance and fall to the ground. As the demon beast falls to the ground Yuki continues to pull it closer to him and as he pulls it closer he lashes out with his second chain, striking the demon beast again, this time in the body repeatedly as it struggles still. The demon beast struggles against the half-breed as it is drawn closer but with each strike from the half-breeds chain it struggles less and less until finally it goes limp and falls to the ground. As the demon beast goes lip Yuki stops pulling it closer and gives his blade chain a flick to free it from the beasts leg as he shifts his gaze to see how the other fight is going.

EXP & PWC: 223

Now that the beast had gone limp, Yuki lets out a faint growl as he looks at the thing, " Weakling.. " He murmurs softly as he musters up saliva and spits it at the dead demon beast before turning his attention to the warriors and rangers he had brought with him. The warriors struck out at the last two demon beasts, smashing there shields into the demon beasts before striking at them with there swords and bringing the last two demon beasts down. Once the two went down the warrior let forth a cry of victory. Each of the rangers shift there gaze and scan the area as they stand ready for more to come out though it seems they have defeated all here. Seeing his warriors finish off the rest of the demon beasts, Yuki gives a faint nod as he turns his attention back to the leader and makes his way over to it before he kneels down next to it and reaches into the back of his coat and pulls out his kukri. After withdrawing his blade he brings it around and uses it to slice the head of the demon beast from its body as a trophy of his victory.

EXP & PWC: 210

The warriors turn there attention to there leader and watch as he cuts the head from the demon beast as a trophy. Still kneeling next to the demon beast, Yuki speaks up, " Collect what arrows you can from the dead. And take whatever else you want as well. " Yuki says as he raises from the ground and stands, turning his attention back to the others with him as he gives them a faint nod, " Then we head back to the village with the news. " With that, Yuki would glance down at the demon beast he had defeated as he gives his rangers time to collect what arrows where salvageable and warriors time to get whatever they wanted. The warriors decide to take trophy's just as there leader had done, something to show they had truly killed the demons. While the warriors take there trophy's the rangers begin to salvage what arrows they could from the dead demons. While he waits, Yuki decides to simply pick up the demon beast he had killed and take the rest of it with him. Once the warriors and rangers had finished Yuki leads them back to the village to give the good news.
