Kiyu the Unknown^^

Chapter 22: A new threat.

Kiyu than put all 5 animals on his back and made his way back to kira and Takami, when he arrived there he saw that kira was laying down with a wet towel on her head, Takami was next to her with a small bucket of water, immediately he rushed over.

"Kira!, what just happened here?"

Kira was too weak to speak, instead Takami spoke very fast.

"Kiyu?, I need you to find Totsuki and Hachi, kira has been poisoned, she was picking some fruit a while ago and was attacked by a bandit, she fought to the best of her ability but was stabbed in her arm with a poison knife, the man got away when i just arrived, kiyu you have to find that man and get the antidote, kira has less than half an hour to live."

"What!, you cant be serious!"

"You have to find the others and get that antidote."

"On it."

Before he got up kira grabbed onto his arm, she gave a faint smiled at him as she spoke.

"Kiyu...I need to...tell..you..something."

"Just hang in there I'll be right back"

Kiyu got up, Takami pointed in the direction the bandit had went and immediately kiyu dashed to find the man, Takami was abit shocked by Kiyu's speed because he was still wearing the band.

"Dont worry kira, kiyu will find the antidote in time, just hang on."

Kira gripped harder onto Takamis arm and let out a small tear.

Meanwhile...

Kiyu had been jumping from tree to tree at an amazing speed looking for the bandit, he than saw bolts of purple lightning striking the ground up ahead, he jumped to an open area where lightning was continuously striking the ground, he than saw Totsuki, he was training by dodging the lightnings strikes, he than slipped and rolled over, before he got up the lightning struck him none stop, he screamed like his soul was been dragged out of him.

Kiyu than covered himself with his white ora and dashed to Totsuki and took him out of the lightning area, kiyu was too struck by lightning but it was absorbed, he than put Totsuki on a branch and explained the situation. On hearing this Totsuki got up immediately.

"How much time do we have left kiyu?"

"About 20 minutes or so."

"Shit!, there's no time to look for Hachi, we gotta find that man ourselves."

Kiyu nod his head and they began going at great speeds searching the forest for the bandit, 10 minutes had passed and they had no luck in finding him, untill they felt a huge shock wave come pass them, kiyu fell from the tree and landed flat on his face.

"Owwww..."

Totsuki picked him up and they headed into the direction of the shock wave, they than came across another open area, they found Hachi, he was in a battle with another guy with brown hair and green eyes.

Next thing you know, the mans hand turned into purple fire and shot it at Hachi, Hachi put both his hands on the ground and used (ice mirror cross), a huge ice mirror came out of the ground, but as it came, the fire was so intense the ice melted immediately, the fire than went further and forced Hachi a few metres away against a tree, Hachi fell to the ground unconscious.

Totsuki than went to Hachi but as he did, the man launched another fire attack at Totsuki, Totsuki turned around, kiyu appeared infront of him and activated his white ora and absorbed the mans fire.

"Wow that was close, now, who the hell do you think you are."

"Well I think im Berto the invincible bandit of the west, now if you dont mind I have somewhere to be."

"So your the one that attacked kira earlier?, you'll pay!"

"The little girl, ohh so you boys want the antidote im gussing."

"Yes!"

"Well...you cant have it, these stuff are really expensive and im not going to hand it over to some puny kids."

The bandit turned around, but as he did Totsuki appeared infront of him, just as Totsuki opened his mouth, Berto already had him by his neck.

"Don't mess with me kid, I have alot experience in battle than you and your brother, I've been in many wars during the years, your speed and strength let alone element, cannot compare to mine."

Berto threw Totsuki over him, but as Totsuki was going to land on his feet Berto kicked Totsuki in his face causing Totsuki to spin in the air untill kiyu caught him.

"Are you okay bro?, listen.."

"No..., you listen, we have to go all out if we want to beat him, take off your band.."

Berto appeared infront of them laughing.

"Beat me?, thats not possible boys, your no match for me.."

"Now!!"

Kiyu pulled off his band, the same time Totsuki took off his red band and left the blue one on, immediately white and purple energy rushed out of kiyu and Totsukis bodies, the force how ever never affected Berto, he just watched them and waited.

"Ohh getting serious are we?, well you only have about 5 minutes left before that girl dies."

Just as Berto finished, kiyu and Totsuki dashed at him, his eyes widened as Totsuki and kiyu punched him in his face causing him to fly at an amazing speed threw a couple of trees. He got up a distance a way and noticed his nose bleeding.

"Not bad boys, now I know things aint gonna be boring."

Berto stood up laughing as his nose bled out.
