Arrode, the Shining walked into the fortress and followed him. He perambulated in an elegant and sure manner. She wondered how he could be so confident, even when he knew his armies were being beaten into a pulp. "I wish to join your cause in battle," she said abruptly. Arrode didn't like to wait; getting straight to the point was her style.

The Architect turned around. "Of course you may! Now you made me walk into my fortress for no reason at all!" A huge grin pasted itself on his face. "I guess I have to show you the way out." He walked backward, keeping his eyes on Arrode. "Oh, I'm walking backward because I know my way around his place by heart." However, he didn't walk the same route to the entrance. Somehow, through a bunch of doors and walls that opened upon command, they found their way back to the front gates. He shook her hand. "Glad to have you here. Just beware: terrible things are coming. Be careful."

Haku lay in his new home and bed in Osaka. He had begun to live there just recently after roaming japan. He had been doing little jobs here and there to get by. When a fiend was tooken care of by Haku in Osaka they rewarded him with a home with no taxes. It wasnt a large home, more like a seaside shack, but now he had shelter and a bed and above all that no taxes. He lay there looking to his roof and feeling curious and mysterious.

The first thing Arrode heard was "The Manslayer struck again!" Arrode quickly swiveled her head to the messenger. "Manslayer? What? Says who?" He replied, "The Manslayer has struck down another one of our generals! He's practically a one-man army!" "Man, this one person is taking out all of our generals...one by one. I would very much like to meet this person." Another messenger ran up to her. "Arrode!" he cried. "The Architect ordered me to tell you that you are promoted to the ranking of a general. He says that you can deal with this 'Manslayer.'" A mischevious smile appeared on her face. "Very well."

After a while of burning down one of the bases of the Ico rebels, the second group of the Ico swiftly made it back to the castle. Rayne spotted them and notice that their mission was successful seeing that a great fire was settling itself among one of the Ico rebel's base that was many miles away from the Ico clan base. Rayne stood there for a moment and was already planning another siege on one of the Ico rebel base, but he will let the other rests and he have already recovered from his wound from a healer that was in the castle. He stood there once more on a balcony of his room pondering upon where the main base was and if he was able to figure that out he would be able decimate it.
Rayne looked at the fire that was many miles away from this castle for a moment and wonder if any of the other hitorkiris were still out that use to be in the Odah. I could remember...that there were at least....two others....that are almost invincible in skills....and speed...their nicknames were Hitokiri Kumori Sendo ( Death's Shadow)...and...Hitokiri Awai Fusenmei ( Light Blur)...they both trained in a style....Hitokiri Kumori Sendo used a frequent sword strike....it was Kumori Shi-su Kizu ( Shadow Sheath Cut)....its instant death....if it connects....hence the name Hitokiri Kumori Sendo....and....Hitokiri Awai Fusenmei....he uses the...Fusenmei Hirameki Kanadzuchi ( Blurring Flash Hammer) and the Awai Hirameki Ken ( Light Flash Blade)...both are instant death if they....connect..but if...they were blocked....minor injures...it is...almost impossible to block since those....techniques....require...great speed... He thought to himself as he watched the fire die down. After it did , Rayne returned back to his room and studied more of the strategies about another general that one of the Ico clan member retrieved when they were burning down one of the bases.
" Hmm...this general....seem to be new..." Rayne said as he looked at the files that he have received a day ago when he was fighting the general that used the Tenpi Fusenmei Kamae ( Sun Blur Style). As he was taking an analysis of the general's profile, Rayne only found a few of the general's techniques, but that wasn't enough, Rayne needs to know about the main weakness of the general. He looked at some of the useful information that was mapped out before him and was deciding to meet this general personally. He gave a small grin as he notice that this general uses two swords instead. " Hmm... there is no picture of this general...I suppose that this one seem to not want any identity to be revealed...no matter..." He said in a calm voice and prepared the groups to siege the fifth base of the Ico rebels.
Many of them were well recovered now after some rest and many have regained their stamina. Rayne told the groups of one of the most elite members were to go into the fifth base and erradicate all the Ico rebels, meanwhile he will meet this new general and slay this one as quick as possible. He had planned this strategy and made sure that there was no flaw at all. All of them started to move out with great speed and they were all either leaping from tree to tree or on the ground . After an hour of traveling they arrived at the base and were well hidden from all of the Ico rebels. Rayne was standing on a tree branch and was observing once more seeing how many numbers of the Ico rebels have this time. He found out that there were sixty to seventy rebels out on guard this time and they only have about sixty five of the Ico members, but no matter this should not be a great deal to the the Ico members.

Blood smatted on the valheru's mask as he reigned down strike after strike with his blade.
hahahaha, blood..... i need more blood.
Josh had sensed that the valheru had taken over, he must of done it over night, as the elf couldnt remember tying to resist. Now they were in the middle of a flurried battle, small forces of ico and ico rebels were fighting in an outcrop of land. Of course Ashen Rahman had sensed the blood shed and had gone crazy, he needed the blood and so he came fourth and did battle, yet still he did not kill the ico rebels, he had remembered his promise well. but at times even he didnt know why he kept his end of the bargain.
A few more pikemen made an attempt at the valheru but with words muttered under his breath, his sword was soon encased by a small electronic storm, then with another set phrase the sword end shot out the trapped lightning. it surged towards the ico soldiers approaching and burnt them there on the spot. They're blackened bodies were all that remained.

Rayne leaped downward from the tree , striking two Ico rebels that were nearby, and cutting them lengthwise with apparent ease. As he notice that more of the Ico rebels started to charge forward, but Rayne decided to avoid the battle and leaped upward towards the roof, yet he observed as the Ico rebels and Ico clan members alike charged forwards towards eachother. Screams filled the air as the slaughtering have begun in this battle. As he watched the Ico rebels and the Ico clan members alike were being slain one soldier after other, only elite members were able to survive, but even then they may only have little minor injuries. Rayne jumped downward and landed gracefully. He then entered a nearby window and was able to avoid the battle so that he would have enough stamina to take care of the general.

'Overlord' diced and sliced, dismemberd bodies surrounded the valheru. One ico soldier was unlucky enough to get caught within Ashen Rahmans grasp. The valheru shoved his hands straight through the young soliders stomach and then ripped out his intestines, the infantrymen fell to the floor in apparent pain, he wailed as he tried to put his guts back in. The ico rebels were pushing the ico back, it was one of the first times Ashen rahman had seen this as most of the time he had heard they were being anihalated mainly because of the 'manslayer'. The ico rebels struggled forward and the smell of death soon settled in the area but the battle was still continuin. the ico clan were fighting till the very last. The valheru sliced a soldier in the face then grabbed him. He removed his mask and bit right into his face ripping out a meaty chunk, he dropped the man and swallowed the chunk. Then he screamed a mighty battle cry, realigned his mask and went on with the carnage.

As Rayne wander through the hallways, he kept hearing screams that were rising from the current battle that were somewhere in the base,but he ignored it and kept walking. He looked around the base and notice that the hallways had many twists and turns, but he was lucky enough to get a map that was also found the general's profile. He was in the main section of the base and was able to figure out the fastest way to get there, but he knows that guards will be there. Suddenly Rayne got some sort sense and notice that death is about to blossom on the battlefield, this sense was devoloped over time, since he have fought so many battles before this war have every started. He have also notice that there was something that was very powerful out there and this strange entity have seemingly joined this current battle, but the sense of death kept growing stronger and he realized that the strange being is the one who is slaughtering the soldiers.
Even though the sense was still in his mind, Rayne continued walking through the hallways and kept his guard up knowing that the strange being is out there will try to sent him to his demise. He then excuted the Tsuubun Daichi and started to move with inhuman speed. Everything was just a blur now and this was the true form of Tsuubun Daichi. He passed several doors and leaped upward landed above the next floor of the base.

The scene was now a blood bath, beheaded bodies commonly occured and no ico man was left alive, even the straglers were hunted down, ashen rahman personally saw to this. As he got back to the battle field the ico rebels had produced a well formed square and were now waiting silently, it seemed theyre general had been slain in the battle. They were now all looking at the valheru either with amazement or distrust. Ashen rahman was used to being honoured but not by humans, he was suprised but stood infront of them and thought of a way to raise they're moral. being his animalistic self though nothing much came to hand untill he spoke.
FEAST ON YOUR ENEMIES BLOOD, TOMOROW IS ANOTHER DAY AND YOU MAY NOT LIVE TO SEE IT..... WOOOHAAA!!!
Silence swept over the ranks.The ico rebels were shocked never had they ever in their wildest dreams thought of feasting on blood. they were not vampires and thankful. they gave him a look of distain as murmurs started to run through the army. The valherus attempt to lead men had fallen on deaf ears.
(( be back later))

islanders_CO39 She nodded her head before closing her eyes. She tucked her head beneath his chin as he held her and fell asleep within his arms. Kyo fell asleep beside Rin. HE awoke some time later. He could tell it was the early morning. He got up and stared out the window. The flames licked very low, and a grey atmospher over the castle courtyard. He stood there deep in thought. He was now a married man, a soon to be father, an eventual king of the netherworld, and now had vanqueished the rebels. it had beena busy few days. He looke d abck at Rin who was soundly asleep, and he felt his heart skip a beat. He knew he loved herdevotedly, but he felt as though their courtship had been rushed maybe too quickly...but whatever, she was his now. He walked over to her and saw her sleeping so peacefully. He gently kissed her chin, and lay back down beside her. It would be a hot day he could tell so he took off his pajama top and lay next to her still deep in thought.

The valherus attempt to lead men had fallen on deaf ears. (( be back later)) ((lol)) A servant handed Arrode some papers. She carefully examined the text. "This Manslayer seems to have a pattern. He always leads seiges...but he himself heads for the general. That way he can burn down the base while the rest of his soldiers are fighting...therefore lowering morale. However," she continued, "that is an ill idea for the generals themselves for staying inside while fights are commencing outside. I can't see how Ico Rebel generals can be trained like this." Arrode absentmindedly dismissed the servant with a wave of a hand and resumed her train of thought. "Manslayer Rayne. You are one hell of a fighter. I see that you are going to deal with Ashen Rahman...and me." A grin stuck on her face. "I always welcome a challenge." Arrode stood up and walked out the door. She turned left and proceeded down the stairs. Two soldiers shielded their eyes as they passed by. "Damn, she's bright!" they whispered to each other. Arrode smiled. She didn't care if she was bright. She wouldn't be surprised in an ambush. She reached the base of the stairs and headed outside.

Arrode decided that new tactics were needed. All the fallen generals fell the same way and she figured that change was evident. She stood before her entire army. They stood tall and erect, awaiting further command. Then she spoke. "Hear me," she began. "The generals that have fallen to the Ico died proudly indeed. Their soldiers fought to the death. It is sad for them, even if their death was for a noble cause." Arrode shook her head in shame.
"But nonetheless, something needs to change. We can't deal with defeat any longer!" An uproar spread infected the army. Wild cheers went up. She merely raised her hand to silence them. As the noises died down, she spoke again. "There will be a change of tactics. You will no longer patrol the perimeter of the fort." Many soldiers gasped in horror. "I know what you're thinking, but allow me to continue. I assure you that my plan is logical indeed." They nervously waited. "Since this fort has only one accessible entrance - the only road in from the north - we can lay a trap. Every soldier is to hide in the forest just surrounding our fort. When the army comes, they will be confused. As they stare with stupid looks on their faces...we strike! We can surround them! They'll have no idea what hit them." Cheers broke out. Arrode knew something different was to come.

(Name: Aianna
Age: 17
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 110
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Very light red
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Class: Rogue/Warrior
Clan: Ico Rebels
Weapons: A wooden staff mad from birdseye pine. A dragon carved at the bottom of the staff, wrapps all the way up and around it, the eyes red rubies.
Attire: Normally dressed in black chain mail and leg wraps, with brown slacks and a white shirt under it. Her staff always at her side. She wears a white cloak over her armor to hide her status when she leaves the camp.
History: Sister to Kira, Aianna was seperated from her brother and sister when she was young. Never knowing the fate of her family, she set out to find her sister and brother when she stubbled upon the Ico Camp. Explaining her story to the Ico Rebels, they realised who she was, and offered to help her find Kira.
Other: Aianna is nicer than her sister too some, but also more open to her feelings and thoughts than Kira. Though she is also very stubborn, and careful. )
Kira had slept out side of the camp that day, trying to gain the courage to enter. Waking up some hours ago, she stood, and brushed her self off. She took a deep, calming breath, befor taking her first steps toward the camp.
"You can do this." She whispered to her self. "Youve waited your whole life for this moment" She walked slowly at first, before increasing her speed to walk a little faster. She remembered what Josh had told her. This place was filled with traps. There was a rustled up a head, but she blew it off as just the wind. But it wasnt the wind, someone was watching her.
Up above her, in the trees, a little boy stood, hidden by the branches and trees, his mouth wide in shock, his eyes large. Not waiting an other second the boy jumped down from the tree, and ran down a path leading to the camp. Panting and sweating the boy stumbled into the camp. "Kira-san, Kira san has returned!" He yelled happily as he tripped and stumbled into a tent at the front of the camp. Turning around quickly, annoyance in her voice, Aianna eyed the boy carefully. "What was that?" She asked softly. The boy just smiled a moment, the goofy, lopsided grin every child is blessed with, before repeating slowly. "Kira-san is back" Aianna's eyes widen, her eyes misting slightly before she blinked them back. Grabbing her staff, she ran from the tent, following the same path that the boy had took.
Meanwhile, Kira wandered farther into the forested area, her hand on the but of her sword. She turned quickly as she heard the rustling in the trees, to loud to be just the wind. She pulled out her sword, and ducked behind a tree just as she saw the shadow of a human cross the trees. Jumping out she faced the person, her eyes slanted into a glare, her sword held out in front of her. It only took an instant for both of them to regonise each other. Aianna stood, smiling at her sister, watching as that glare turned into a misty eyed smile. Dropping her sword Kira ran too her, grabbing her into a hug. "Welcoem back home Kira" Aianna whispered to her, pulling back to look at her. "Well, atleast your in one peice" Aianna said jokingly. Kira just grinned and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Come on in" Aianna wrapped her arm around her sister, picking up the sword and handing it too her. Happier than they have ever been, both girls followed the path back to the Ico Rebel camp.
(Man my hands are tired, well, that should make up from the week I missed)
