Night 8

The white-haired teen tossed and turned in her bed, memories of that day kept repeating over and over. "Who was that person and why did they come after her?" was the question that kept circulating around in her head. A sudden "Clink" sound made the girl slowly open her eyes and sit up looking around the room only to see nothing was there. She shrugged her shoulder's before laying down and closing her eyes. Her mind wouldn't allow her to fall asleep as she groaned and rolled around trying to get comfortable.

A sudden water droplet fell on her forehead making her twitch. She ignored it before another droplet fell on her head.

"Does the roof have a leak?" muttered Winter to herself as she slowly opened her eyes only for them to grow to the size of saucers.

There clinging to the roof were 4 figures dressed in ninja uniform's with plague doctor mask's on only for the plague doctors mask to be open by the mouth and reveal rows of sharp teeth that was coated with a thin layer of saliva as it dribbled out their mouths a glutton's stare filled their eyes. The girl released a loud scream as she rolled out the bed dodging an incoming strike from one of the figures. As the figure pierced the bed it showed that its hand was abnormally skinny and had long claws at the end of the fingers.

"Youve made us wait quite some time missy" spoke the figure who pierced the bed.

"Who are you!" shouted Winter crawling backwards only to be stopped against the wall.

"We are the Hungry Crows elite hit squad of General Omu" said the crow.

"Omu!? He is here?" asked Winter frantically.

"Yes, and he very much wants his property back" responded the Crow as he lunged towards Winter claw raised.

"Is this really my end?" muttered Winter to herself.

"Hey get out my bar!" came a voice from the door way as a loud bang filled the room.

Winter winced from the loud sound and looked up seeing that the crow which had charged her had a massive gaping hole in his head now. Blood sprayed out like a fountain before the crow tumbled over to the side dead. There standing by the door holding a smoking black magnum pistol was Ram.

"Who the hell are you bitch!" roared one of the Crows narrowly missing another shot from the gun.

"What you call me?" shouted Ram pulling out another black magnum and started to unload her bullets in the room.

The crows narrowly dodged the bullets as holes appeared in the room Winter holding her ears and praying, she wasn't caught in the cross fire. After the storm of bullets Ram released a "Tch" sound as she flung two new magazines in the air. She quickly discarded the used magazines then in air spun her guns up so that the magazines fit in perfectly before she grabbed the guns from the air and pointed it towards the room again.

"Care to explain what's going on red?" came the voice from Yuri who had come out of his room to look at the commotion.

"Bunch a loser's trying to do something to Winter that's what!" shouted Ram.

"Mmm you do know the girl was still in the room, right?" asked Yuri making Ram look slowly back to the bullet ridden room.

"AH CRAP!" shouted Ram as she ran into the room and looked around frantically.

The girl looked around for a few more minutes before she released a breath of relief as she found Winter crouched against the wall unharmed.

"Oh, thank goodness" muttered Ram as she helped the frightened Winter up.

"You ok?" asked Ram as she put away the smoking dual magnums in her inventory.

"Y... Yes, thank you" answered Winter shaking a bit.

As they were about to leave movement caught Winter's eyes making them widen.

"LOOK OUT!" shouted Winter seeing that one of the Crows was right above Ram swinging down with its clawed hand.

"Die!" shouted the Crow only to get a heel against the jaw blasting it up through the roof causing the rain to fall through.

When the girls brain registered what happened they saw Yuri was standing underneath the hole in a kicking position, the falling rain drenched his hair as it covered his eyes.

"Red take Winter to Jules room and make sure their safe for now" said Yuri in a monotone voice as he jumped up to the roof.

"Tch cold eyed bastard" muttered Ram as she and Winter rushed towards Jules room barging in the room.

Right when they entered the room a black pole was aimed to their heads making them stop in their tracks. Standing in front of them wielding black nun chucks were Jules a emotionless look in his eyes. As he saw who it was his eyes gained their playfulness again as he chuckled and held the nun chucks away from them.

"Sorry I thought it was someone who wanted to die" spoke Jules happily.

Winter looked at Jules and saw his entire upper body was wrapped in bandages and was only wearing a pair of black shorts.

"Jules how are you feeling?" asked Winter only seeing the teen for the first time since she came to the bar.

"I'm all good Doc said I just need to rest" answered Jules.

"Well, I'm all for a Q and A session but there are people messing up my bar!" shouted Ram and crossed her arms.

"Uhm you shot up the room" muttered Winter.

"What did you say?" asked Ram looking at Winter.

"Nothing Nothing" answered Winter a sweat drop behind her head.

"Who are these people?" asked Jules.

At Yuri, the teen landed softly on the roof as a shiver went up his spine from his barefoot touching the cold wet roof. In front of him lying on the roof twitching was the Crow he had kicked up. The teen released a sigh before he slicked his hair up away from his eyes. The Crow suddenly stopped twitching and stood up unnaturally, purple blood was pouring out the beak of the Crow as it glared towards Yuri.

"How dare you kick me peasant!" fumed the Crow.

"Are you a Noble or something?" asked Yuri bored only to quickly drop to his knees as another Crow was above him in a slicing motion.

"Howd he sense me?" thought the second Crow only to suffer the same fate as the other Crow and got a kick against the head blasting it to the earlier Crow.

As the crow was flying through the air the other crow caught its partner and held it up.

"We are General Omu's personal hit squad breed to be perfect unlike you" answered the Crows together.

"Dunno who this Omu person is but you're starting to piss me off with all this perfect shit" said Yuri as he equipped his katana which sat snuggly at his waist.

"WE WILL KILL YOU!" roared the Crows as their hands turned into claws and lunged towards the teen.

Yuri released a "Tch" as he also lunged forwards slicing downwards. The clash between claws and steel caused sparks to fly in the raining sky. Yuri bent down dodging Crow number 2's vertical slice as Crow 1 followed quickly with a thrust. Just as Yuri bent down, he saw the clawed hand right in front of his eyes, he emotionlessly stared at the incoming threat as his katana glowed softly.

"[Slice and Dice]" muttered Yuri spinning quickly on one knee making both Crows cry out in pain as they were flung in the air missing an arm.

Yuri didn't let up as he quickly sprang up from his position and spun in the air once his katana glowing black now.

"[Matt Black Flash]" said Yuri as he turned into a black blur going through the two Crows in the air before appearing down on the roof again.

The Crows blinked once before their other arm was flung off making them cry out in pain as they landed on the roof. Both Crows was panting madly as right before Yuri appeared before them the blade was aimed right at their neck but then Yuri gave them a smirk before cutting their arms off instead.

"W... Why did you not kill us!" shouted the one crow its purple blood forming a puddle underneath it.

Yuri didn't face the fallen crows as he unequipped his katana and slowly faced the Crows who stood up in pain looking at the teen. His hands started to glow violet purple as it looked like they were engulfed in a mass of purple flames. Both the Crows blinked once and then Yuri wasn't in front of them anymore but behind them.

"[Soul Snatch]" muttered Yuri as he looked over his shoulder towards the Crows and raised both his hand which was covered in Purple blood.

As the Crows looked towards his hands their eyes widened seeing what he was holding. There was a still beating heart which was compressed to the size of a tennis ball and next to it was a ball of pure light blue energy which looked like a ball of flames burning. They looked down to their chest and saw a massive hole was present.

"W... What did you do?" muttered the Crows as they crumbled to the floor dead.

"I just stole your heart and soul no biggie" answered Yuri to the now dead corpse.

"Now...I'm so hungry..." spoke Yuri aloud as he held both his hands up and dropped the souls and hearts in his mouth as he swallowed everything in one gulp.

Salvia dripped down his chin as he wiped it away with his fore arm.

"Ahhh now that hit the spot" said Yuri patting his belly contently.

Just as the teen was going to go back in side and dry himself, he suddenly stopped and slowly looked behind him.

"Who the hell are you?" asked Yuri loudly over the now pouring rain.

There standing a few meters away from him holding an umbrella up was a was a man who appeared to be in his early twenties, he had dark caramel skin color with vibrant pink hair with white highlights that stopped at his hips and had hazel nut colored eyes, he wore the same uniform as the rest of the people except he had 1 golden star on his shoulder pads. The man gave Yuri a smirk.
