Samurai Kitty

Swiftly and silently Ashita Hitroshika, a cat demon from another realm, sneaks into the room of which he thinks to belong to his old friend Komoura Hiroshi. He senses his old sword, him being drawn to its power as it silently cries out to him. He cautiously enters the room unknowing that it does not belong to his old friend anymore but is now occupied by his granddaughter Mika Hiroshi. He sniffs the air and lifts an eyebrow in curiosity.

"I don't remember Komoura ever smelling this good," he said as he began to walk towards the figure in the bed as it lie still and breath rhymically why it unknowingly faced away from him. Ashita laughed, thinking that Komoura would of caught him far before he would of even gotten close to his bedroom when he began to reach out to shake his old friend awake. Just as his hand went to touch the person in the bed they rolled over, the face being one of a beautiful young girl instead of an old wrinkly one belonging to who he was hoping to find, his ex samurai partner and life long friend and ally, Komoura.

"What the.." he said as he looked down at the sleeping girl, bewildered at why she was in this room and not Komoura when he turned his head, hearing a sound coming from down the hallway as he worried if he had already been caught or if he had fallen into a trap.

Slowly the girl in the bed opened her eyes to see a large pair of legs standing in front of her. She gulped softly and began to look up the legs to see a tall, almost human looking figure that has cat ears and wears shiny silver warriors armor almost like the kind her grandfather used to have.

Hearing the creaking of the bed which had happened when she slowly sat up, Ashita quickly turned around to see the girls slatish blue eyes open and fixate directly on him. They both sat there quietly, admiring one another when his ears twitched sharply, picking up the sound of something coming towards them fairly quickly.

"Look out!" he yelled before he grabbed onto her arms and pulled her off the bed and into his embrace as he turned away from her bed and shielded her with his body when a crash could be heard from directly behind them. The wall behind her bed was taken out and the frame of it is cut in two, that meaning that if she was sitting there she would've been easily cut in two. After all the commotion it went quiet again. He slowly leaned away from her as he looked through the giant hole in the wall and then turned his attention to her room as he looked around it silently before spotting what he had came for.

"Aha!" he said with a grin before quickly getting up and running across the room to get it.

"So we meet again," he said to the sword as if it were an old friend. Mika watched the demon curiously as he looked over her grandfathers sword, him carefully taking it out and brandishing it fiercely before he turned towards the great hole in the wall and ran out of it.

She slowly got up off the floor and quickly got dressed, throwing on a tight, red, hello kitty shirt, a pair of lightly colored blue jeans and a pair of sandish colored tennis shoes before she wondered out the hole herself, wondering where the demon was going in such a hurry. She stepped out of the giant hole in the wall and out into the backyard where she found the cat demon fighting two pig like demons that were covered in samurai like armor. Mika, watched with great interest as the severely rugged and handsome cat demon fought the two gross pigs as if it were nothing but mere sport. A grin played across his handsome face as he fought, it sending a shiver up her spine when he stood in a tree and looked down at the two of them as if he we some sort of god.

"Now it's time to finish you off!" he said before jumping down and slashing one of the squealing pigs in half, the other one being cut in two also with another quick swish of his sword as they fell to the ground in a thud. Mika was astounded by the quickness and accuracy that he had with that blade when something grabbed her from behind. She gasped, the startled sound of her voice making the cat demon turn around to face them when he saw Jughi, captain of the pig demons army.

"Jughi," He said slowly as he looked over the heavily armored and decorated demon with a great deal of loathing.

"What brings you here, Jughi?" he asked as the frustration in his voice rang clearly through the cold night air.

"Surprisingly not to take off your head, Ashita," he snorted shortly as a fowl grin played over his face.

"But I am here to seize Mika, Komoura's granddaughter," Ashita looked the pigs expression over fully to find that he was speaking the truth.

"You mean to tell me that this girl is Komoura's granddaughter?" he asked as he turned his attention towards the girl and looked her over sternly.

"Perhaps you're right," he agreed when he then laughed softly.

"Too bad I've already got her," he said smoothly. The pig demon looked at him in disbelief.

"You couldn't have! My master told me where she'd be and I came here, same as you," he said while gripping the girl even tighter in worry that the cat demon might be trying to play a trick.

Ashita shook his head and smiled.

"No, you see, that's where you're wrong. I came here to retrieve my sword, not look for Komoura or any of his family," he explained as he tried not to grin at his very well given lie. The pig looked down at her and then back up at Ashita.

"She has to be the one! I mean look at her!" Ashita shook his head once more.

"Sorry, but you're wrong," The pig demon growled in anger when he once again looked from the girl to Ashita.

"Well, we'll see. I'll take her to my master. He'll know and if she is or isn't and if not then she'll become a new slave to his highness," Jughi said when Ashita's grin faded, him thinking fast of what he could say next to stop this from happening when yet another quick grin played across his face before he quickly wiped it off and stood ready to attack him.

"No, you can't have her! I saw her first and I want her as my slave!" he yelled at him angrily. The pig grinned.

"Why? what good is she to you?" he asked while chuckling slightly.

"She will become the bearer of my children because lord knows that I haven't had any yet, but still do plan on having them," The pig let out another laugh before throwing the girl to the ground.

"We are both respectable gods and shouldn't be wasting our time squabbling on this mortal, how about I kill her and we both be on our way?" Ashita growled softly. Hearing no response the pig brought up his sword and quickly sent it down towards her when all of a sudden it stopped. Mika, having closed her eyes opened them, wondering why she wasn't dead yet when she found the cat demon, Ashita standing above her, his sword blocking the one of the pig, Jughi's.

"Run," he muttered before she nodded and did as she was told. The pig looked at him in disgust.

"You dare save a mortal? where is your dignity?" he asked angrily.

"It is where it belongs. I am to protect the Lady Mika, granddaughter of my oldest and most dear friend Komoura," he answered when the pigs small beady eyes grew wide.

"So she is Mika. You lying little feline!" he yelled as he brought up his sword and went to strike him again when Ashita jumped out of the way and quickly removed the pig demons left arm. He squealed loudly in pain when he looked upon Ashita as he stood before him with a dark look on his face.

"Let your master know that Mika is now in my care and that it would be wise of him to leave her be," he said before turning and running off after her.

"Ashita! you bastard!" Jughi yelled when all was silent and he was alone.

"Damn, the boss isn't going to like this," he said before disappearing into the night sky.

Mika continued to run, until she felt the stitch in her side grow even more and more painful, her having to stop. She sat down and breathed heavily as she tried to catch her breath when she heard someone behind her. Her breath caught in her throat when she gulped and slowly turned around to see the cat demon named Ashita standing over her curiously. She continued to look up at him, unsure of what he was going to do when he held out a hand towards her, offering to help her up. She looked from his hand to him and took it, him lifting her up with ease. They both were quiet, looking one another over silently when Ashita grinned.
