Soji Oridaka wondered through Aokigahara forest, one the look out for trouble. He was on the hunt for something, something that in the wrong hands could be very dangerous. He suddenly stopped, surveying his surroundings, sure he saw something. "Is something out there." he called, lifting his jacket and resting his right hand on a Katana.
"That red X on your jacket, the newest defender of the Cursed Blades." said a voice. "I prefer the name Crossblade." Soji drew the Katana. Something streaked past him and he turned around. A dark shadow walked towards him. "You know the blade is here?" The shadow changed into its true form.
A grey skinned human-like creature in torn red clothes. Parts of its face had decayed and it had bloodshot eyes. "Akatsuki, the Curse king, should I be honored?" Soji raised his Katana, left hand itching to go for the second one. "I am no king, but watch yourself, or you could end up like me." A red blade slid out of the main artery of Akatsuki's right arm.
"Do you really want a fight, I may not wield a Cursed Blade but I can still cut you up, besides, I fight better in closed surroundings." Soji grasped the other Katana. "You martial art will not work on me an my speed. If you wish to avoid bloodshed, bring me the blade." Soji was about to decline when he thought of an idea. "The forces looking for that blade are dangerous, even to me. If I promise to bring it to you, my safety is guaranteed?" Soji asked. Akatsuki growled. "Fine, but double cross me, you and your family will suffer." he said
"Alright." Soji walked backwards until Akatsuki was out of sight. "Idiot, why do you think I'm called Crossblade." he sheathed his Katana and continued on his search. Soji walked for a while before coming across a gut wrenching smell. "A death sight, no doubt." he continued until he found the sinkhole were Yamata no Orochi lay. He was familiar with the beasts defeat, as a child he thought it was just a story, only to find out it was knowledge passed down though his family.
Soji jumped down into the sinkhole, landing perfectly. He looked around, scanning for the Cursed blade until he found a slit in the creatures gut. "Dammit! Someone got here first." He noticed footprints in the soft soil, they were about an hour old. "You don't know what power you possess." said Soji. He climbed out the sinkhole and followed the footprints. "I need to find you, before one of them does."
