Okami's left arm slowly falls to the ground as he takes a step back, groaning. His wolf mask had fallen to the ground, oozing with blood. The unknown swordswoman on the opposite side of the capital in the distance started giggling as she directed another arrow at Okami.
Urufu rushes towards him right away. He notices him grunt and kneels on the ground as blood begins to stream from his left arm. As he approaches him, Urufu's eyes widen in fear. Okami dropped his blade on the ground as he began to smoke and lose consciousness.
"Don't die now, Okami!" Urufu yelled angrily as he tore a section of his kimono in his left arm and began treating his left arm. He patched his left arm with a piece of the kimono he pulled off.
"I don't think I'll make it," Okami says quietly as blood drips from his chin and the unknown swordswoman fires another arrow at them both. Urufu's eyes widened as the light flashed once more. Another explosion happened, this time more larger and more destructive.
As she walked toward the explosion, the unknown dark swordswoman began to giggle. She looked around as she saw the smoke slowly dissipate in the distance, noticing that there was no one on the ground. She expected them to be lying on the ground, but they weren't.
She noticed blood on the floor of a two-story house to her left. That made her smile, and her eyes were wide with curiosity as she smelled blood and felt them inside.
While they were hiding, Urufu leaned Okami against a wall. Okami was struggling to breathe and maintain his consciousness. Blood was pouring from his left hand as Urufu tightened the cloth that was covering it to stop it from leaking.
Okami suddenly dropped his sword to his right and tapped Urufu on the left shoulder with his right hand. They were face to face as Urufu peered into his eyes and saw him slowly dying.
"Leave... Get to Captain J if you can't beat her. If you try to escape with me, I'll just be in the way, meaning both of us won't survive. At least one of us here needed to survive, go!" Okami exclaimed in a shrill voice, closing his left eye and coughing blood to the left of his. He dropped his right hand and let go of his left shoulder.
Urufu notices Okami has stopped breathing and bumps his head on his chest. He is enraged when he realizes he is dead. As he bowed his head, he made an angry red expression. He leaned Okami against the wall and grasped his sword with his left hand. He held two swords, one in each hand, and he was completely unfazed.
"Yo-hoo!~ Is there anyone there?" inquired the unknown dark swordswoman. Urufu was enraged even more when she heard her laughing and chuckling. He also heard her pull her sword and draw her bow behind her back. She was getting closer to the two-story house where Urufu and Okami were staying.
Urufu became aware of someone behind him and swiftly turned around. His eyes widened in dread as he saw two children wailing beneath a table, their mother and father lifeless on their sides, blood trickling on the floor. That gave him goosebumps when he saw the innocent and fearful eyes of the two toddlers, who appeared to be brother and sister.
"P-please help us! We don't want to die!" screamed the two children as they pleaded for help. Urufu's eyes welled up as he turned to his right to the door and saw her walk in.
As soon as she stepped inside, she drew her blade and turned to her left, where she saw Urufu standing menacingly looking at her. She then looked to the right and saw two children, which caused her eyes to widen in disbelief.
"Kids?! Wow! Are you here to save them? How kind of you! I'm sorry I have to kill your friend and my friend has to kill your friend's friend who is the head of the village, I'm sorry it sounded a little confusing but it makes sense," she nodded, turning to face Urufu to her left. They were separated by a distance, as were the two toddlers hiding beneath a table.
"Leave them out of this! And you'll pay for killing my friend!" Urufu said angrily as he stepped in his left foot, causing tremendous cracks and a split-second tremble on the ground. As soon as he displayed his presence and might by just stepping on the ground, the two children were stunned and shouted for a split second.
He prepares to attack as the unknown swordswoman stretches her neck and menacingly strokes her sword in her right hand. She flashed him a bright smile.
She flew towards him without making a sound, kicking in the air. He swiftly raised both of his hands and thrust his sword forward. When his two blades met with his kick, he was thrown back with enormous force. He pierced a wall, rolled into the ground, and smacked into a massive tree, grunting.
"Tsk!" he growls as he comes to a halt on the enormous tree and surveys his surroundings. When he saw her already shooting her bow and arrow at him in the distance, his eyes widened. He was ready to jump to his left when a massive tree root seized his foot, causing him to tumble and fall to the ground.
That made her brilliantly smile as she shook her head left and right and let go of the bowstring, the arrow flying towards him with incredible speed. It reaches him as he tries to stand, but it is too late. A bright light flashes around him, followed by a tremendous explosion that destroys the entire ground he's standing on as well as the massive tree he's standing next to.
The massive tree falls behind as a section of its trunk appears to be missing and smoldering. It slammed into a three-story house, utterly destroying it. The massive tree landed on four houses and made a lot of noise.
She smiles and holds her bow in her right hand as she steps out of the wall he has pierced. As she heard the tree slam into the houses, she approached the cloud of smoke in the distance.
"What an unfortunate fella! Unfortunate! I can't believe it!" she exclaimed, smiling and shaking her head left and right as she remembered his foot becoming entangled in the massive root and killing him. Her eyes widened as she noticed him kneeling on the ground coughing up blood and having one of his swords stabbed to the ground in front of him, his head leaning on the hilt.
"Wow! You're still alive? That's impressive! But you're unfortunate, you don't have luck or, at the very least, hope," she added, shaking her head left and right. She began approaching him as she re-tied her bow behind her back. She cleared her throat while holding her blade in her left waist.
"You should've died already, like your friend. Just give up, you can't win... Why are you bothering to keep standing and trying to win? You are wounded, heavily I think," she said as she lost her smile and stared at him while kneeling on the ground barely breathing but conscious, his eyes widened except for his bleeding left eye.
"Y-You! You killed my friend! I Won't Forgive You!" He yelled angrily, making her smile and raising her head to stare at the sky. She then lowered her head to look him in the eyes.
"And what will you do? Cry? You're just full of words and you can't even do a single thing to avenge your friend, what does that make you? Come on, stand, let me see you fight I wanna see you really try and kill me," she remarked as she sighs in front of him. As Urufu peered into her eyes, they were having an eye-to-eye and face-to-face conversation. Urufu was leaning forward on the sword in front of them both.
They were startled to hear a loud noise coming from her left. She noticed a swordsman approaching them. She notices that he isn't dark, but rather a single human who swings its sword once and sends a tremendous wind slice. She notices the slash and promptly stands up, while Urufu immediately lies down on the ground to avoid the wind slash.
While the unknown swordswoman jumps in the air and dashes backward to evade the wind cut. She escaped death as soon as she managed to jump, but both of her feet were cut, causing her to grunt and clench her teeth in rage.
She landed on the ground at least a few meters distant from Urufu and sat down wailing. Both of her feet healed instantly, but the mysterious swordsman who had delivered the wind cut was already in front of her. Behind the wolf mask, she could see his furious eyes and red face.
