[PP-F1] It's just the Beginning[Klein]

For just once she let her defenses fall. Taking comfort in the warmth and feel of another human being Hikaru felt the tendrils of raw fear retreat from her mind. Suddenly everything felt okay. There were no more dark figures lurking in the shadows and the sounds of the storm seemed distance; almost nonexistent.

Then she saw it.

The horned beast that had thrived within the depths of this monsoon. It was like nothing the girl had ever seen before. A beast that lived in and fed off nightmares. Feeling Klein release her, and promise to stay by her side, got a small smile out of her. If Hikaru had a brother, she could only hope he would be like Klein.

Quickly wiping the smile off her face the girl watched as Klein went after the beast. Drawing the sword, she pulled it back so that the hilt was near her cheek, and then waited. It was obvious that he had more power than her. And that was fine. All she could do was be the best she could, and possibly provide a good distraction.

After all she was pretty light on her feet, and small.

As soon as the beast went flying back Hikaru rushed forward, past Klein, and made a diagonal slash. Unfortunatly, her blade did not cut though any flesh. Hopping back as quickly as possible Hikaru jumped lightly up and down on her feet, prepared to dodge this way and that so Klein could get a hit in once more.

Klein didn't give it a chance to react as he saw Hikaru miss. It was still stunned at his first blow so he went in for another. Gaze was given to her as he shouted orders." Stay out of it's range. Strike and run. Never stay in one spot!" The orders were simple but she needed to live by them to survive.

His footsteps quickened as he launched himself at the foul terror before him. Blade was tucked low as he came forth. His hand twirled to the side and he wrenched the blade into its torso again. It wasn't as deep but it hit it's mark.

With that moment, he jumped back and stood in front of Hikaru. A mixture of sweat and rain was dripping down his face.

Taking the orders to heart Hikaru made a mental note of them and readied her sword once more.

This time though, Hikaru came out from behind Klein and then went forward. With a quick jab and then a slash, the sword met it's mark. A hollow howling filled the air as the beast took damage and Hikaru danced back a distance away out of reach, never turning her back on the monster. That was at least one thing she had learned from some practice with the boars.

Being sure to keep her sword at ready all time Hikaru continued to move and maneuver around, making sure that there was not select patterns to her movements. At least that was noticeable. What what that phrase, something like "organized chaos" Seeing it's gaze shift between Klein and her, Hikaru acted like she was going to attack, drawing attention away from Klein and too herself.

His eyes followed Hikaru and then his body exploded with speed running at the beast. Blade was held in his left hand now and he smiled." Let's do this !" Blade came forward and he smashed the side of the creature pushing his body into it. Blade was buried deep inside the beast. He pulled the blade out and jumped off its side and was beside Hikaru." We can win this."

He twirled his blade and spoke." We should join up together in a guild. I got a few of us ready." He looked at her with his offer. " What do you say?: He inquired .
