Episode 14

A tall african-american wearing baggy black pants, with a black shirt with a curve white strip going across the middle of the shirt, and wearing black shoes was sitting on a grassy field gazing upon the night sky. "It's been to peaceful around here lately." A female around five foot with long blue hair that's lifted up with a small blue ribbon, with large soothing blue eyes, wearing a blue kunoichi outfit with the middle exposing her clevage and belly, also wearing hand sleeves on both arms that stop at her elbows, while wearing black sandals on her feet. "Markus, I got the information that you wanted." "What is it Youchi?" "The forces are heading north toward a village. There's a great number of demons heading there." "What kind of demons?" "The lesser demons and the Saifer demons." "So the humanoid demons are that way to. This should be fun." "When are you going to head out." "It's not my problem until they attack. So just leave them be."

"Are you sure about this. But the looks of things they'll planning a assault." "Even if they is....I can stop them before they even damage the village. So I can relax and wait until they do something." "What about the Saifer demons. They suppose to be the strongest group of demons." Markus laid upon the grassy field. He closed his right eye and looked at Youchi with his left eye. "I'm not worried about them. I can defeat them easily to. I never lose." Markus soon closed his other eye. "Are you going to sleep?" "Nope, just resting my eyes. Even if i did wake me up if something happens." "Yes, i will." Youchi sat onto the grassy field. She held her legs up while wrapping her arms around them. She looked toward the night sky.

"I saw your friend....the one name Dominic at the east hierarchy village. He's about to fight to determine his fate." "I don't care. It doesn't concern me." Youchi turned her head toward Markus. Her eyes was filled with concern. "So you don't care if he lives or dies." "Why should I? This world is about being strong. If he dies there'll be one less weakling in this world." Youchi put her chin on her knees. "I guess you're right." A single tear rolled down from her eye. Markus manage to open his left eye to see the tear roll down her face. He gave a big sign. "You still thinking about that day a couple years back." "No, I won't." "Don't lie girl." "Yes, I was." "Don't think about it to much. It's in the past. It isn't like you can change it." "I know. But if it wasn't for you saving me I would have died like the rest of the people in my village. And even then you told me the same thing you just said. If you strong you'll live...if you're weak you just die." "You lived to this point against countless demons so you're strong. Remeber that." They looked at each other with complete silence. They both was trying to figure out to say to each other. "When is Dominic's trial Youchi?" "Sometime tomorrow. Cause the past couple days he was training under Ilux."

A grin appeared on Markus face. "That lucky bastard. He's training under the legendary demon slayer. I couldn't even train under him." "What's so special about Ilux?" "It's said that his spiritual pressure is far beyond any other demon slayer. It's also said he's the strongest demon slayer that ever existed. But it's said that I could be the next him though." "I see....no wonder I couldn't sense any spiritual pressure from him." "Hate to admit it....but if I was to fight him I would lose misrubly." "I wonder why they giving your friend about his bloodline. If he has a trace of demon slayer let him be." "They don't want any trace of a unpure balance in thier ranks. They think it's considered weak to have then less then half of thier blood." "So you that's why you qualify for thier ranks." "Not just that....I also have the blood of thier greatest allies, the Venators. But every since I was born they told me how special I was to have the benefits of both clans but none of thier weakness."

"So that's why you never train." "I don't train cause I always had a high spiritual pressure that equals up to elites. And there is very few elites in the world. And plus I control the element of electrcity. The greatest element ever." "I wish I had any kind of special race coursing through my blood. Maybe then I could have protected my people." "You wasn't as strong as you is now. You would have died trying to protect them." Youchi began to look even more depressed after the comment Markus made. She begin to put her head underkneath her knees, only showing part of her upper face. "You sure know how to make people feel better." "It's th truth. Why try to make you feel better over lies." Youchi lifted her head up alittle. She also gave him a faint smile. "Yeah, you're right. False truths won't make me feel any better. It won't make me any stronger."

Markus gave her a grin. "At least you figured it out." "Markus.....what drives you to become stronger?" Markus looked up at the nightsky as he was thinking of a answer. "I want to become a guardian of the demon slayers." "That's such a hard job. You think you can handle it?" "Of course not. You forgot who I am." "Of course not. I was just saying it was alot of responsibilty. You'll need to make tough decisions. And have to make a lot of sacrafices." "That's still not anything to me. I can do anything. And don't you forget that." "Yeah, I understand. You won't hear anything else from me. Just don't do to much. I don't want anything to happen to you." "Yeah, yeah. You worry to much Youchi. You know that don't you." "Yeah, I know."

They both then heard a explosion. They stood up from the grassy field and they looked toward the east. They saw flames coming from a village. "I didn't even sense them attack the village. Come on Youchi, we have to go save these people." They both begins to Revolt Step toward the village. "I can't believe they got past my senses." "You think they was suppressing thier spiritual pressure." "They could have. But I should have felt a sudden drop of spiritual pressure." "Maybe they timed it to a point where we wouldn't notice." "That's impossible. You know how precise they have to be to be able to do that." "But it's not impossible." Markus grew a angry grin on his face. "I don't want to hear that. It's impossible. And I will continue saying that."

They finally reached the village. Every building they could see was on fire. They saw the people in the village running around in fear. They saw most people knock others down to escape. "This reminds me of the time when the demons attacked my village. This is carnage." "We have to clean this up. We could have prevented this if I only attacked earlier." "Enough thinking about the past. It isn't like we can change it. Let's just go and protect the people of this town." Markus looked at Youchi with a smile. "So you're learning from me, huh." They heard a roar. They looked forward. They saw a lesser demon charge toward them. Markus snapped his finger toward the demon. A flash of lightning hit the lesser demon and begins to fry the demon. Soon the demon was electricuted to death. The demon turned into dust. "Youchi, let's fight strong to protect this town." Youchi gave him a smile. "You can count on it." They took one final look around the town. They saw that nothing has changed. But now people is running past them and getting out of town. "Markus, we should split up. That way we can cover more ground. And also we can save this town faster." "Alright, that sounds like a plan. If you run into any trouble come get me. Don't take on anything you can't handle." "Alright, I got you." They both Revolt Step away.
