Seven Deadly Jewels
Chapter 1
AN: I don't own these characters; they belong to the good people of Clamp. So if you sue me, you'll get nothing since I'm broke man I'm broke!
On a hot summer day in a faraway land, a young man walked through the woods. A hood, and a cloak covered his more detailed features. Sweat came down his brow as he continued to walk through the woods. His eyes fell upon a small town not too faraway from the woods.
'Maybe it's there where I'll find what I need,' he thought.
*******
Within the small town, there was a young girl running around her bedroom.
"Aw man! Why didn't I wake up earlier?" she said to herself as she quickly put on her waitress outfit, and a necklace that her mom gave her before she died. With that done, she ran downstairs.
"It's about time," her older brother Touya said.
"Yes you really need to wake up earlier, Sakura," her dad agreed. Sakura and her family ran a restaurant/hotel in town. They weren't the most popular, but some people stopped by.
"Give me a break Touya! I was up most of the night helping our guests!" Sakura said.
"I'm surprised they weren't scared of a monster like you," her brother replied. Sakura kicked him in his shin, and said,
"One of these days you're gonna push me too far Touya!" The door knocked.
"Hey monster get the door!" he said as he rubbed his shin. Sakura kicked his other shin before answering the door.
"Oh, hey Madison," Sakura greeted. Madison was Sakura's best friend, and was waitress with Sakura at their place.
"Hey there Sakura, late again this morning?" Madison asked seeing her un- bushed hair. Sakura felt her hair and felt that it was un-bushed.
"It's going to be a long day," Sakura groaned.
*******
As the young man got closer to the small town, a strange feeling started to come over him. There was something there, something powerful, and deadly at the same time. When he finally made it, he started to seek out the strange feeling he was getting. He looked around, but it seemed that the feeling was slowly fading away.
'Damn, it's hot,' he thought as he continued to walk blindly around town. He wanted to rest at a hotel, but first things first; he had to find out what was giving that feeling. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and stopped at small hotel. The feeling was strongest here. The young man opened the door and walked in.
********
The door suddenly swung open, and a young man with a hood and a cloak walked in. Everyone froze for a second; there was no telling what this guy was capable of. Sakura breathed out, and approached him.
"Um.... hi, welcome. Can I get you anything?"
"Shiro juice please," he said simply, and took a seat in the corner.
"Uh...can I get you anything else?"
"No thank you."
"Weird guy," Madison whispered to Sakura as she made her way to the kitchen. "I mean what kind of person wears a cloak in the middle of this heat?"
"What does it matter, he's a customer after all," Sakura replied, and brought out the juice.
"Thank you," the young man said as Sakura placed the juice on the table. The stranger gave Sakura a quick glance, and got the strange feeling he had been getting since he got here, but he felt two things where was the other one?
"Um.... Excuse me, but will you be staying the night?" Sakura asked.
"Maybe," he said simply, and drank the cool liquid.
"Um... okay... Just call if you need anything else, okay?"
"Fine."
'Boy Madison was right he is kinda weird in a mysterious way,' Sakura thought as she greeted the other visitors that were now coming in.
*********
As the day rolled on, more people came in for some rest, and to stay, but the stranger stayed, and only talked when he asked for some more juice. His face had yet to be seen, but Sakura could of sworn when he took the glass from her, she saw he had chestnut hair. When it reached noon, Sakura and Madison took their breaks.
"Taking our breaks dad!" Sakura called as she and her friend walked out the door.
"Alright, be back soon!" her dad called as he took another order. Sakura and Madison went out the door, and went to Town Square where all the shops and trading posts were.
"So what do you want to do today?" Madison asked. Sakura thought for a while, then finally said,
"Let's go shopping!"
"My thoughts exactly!" Madison replied, and soon the two girls went all around Town Square buying as many clothes and accessories they could afford. Soon when their break was almost over, they had about ten bags each, and were on their way back.
"We should hurry, there's no telling how long dad can hold out on his own," Sakura said.
"Is it that? Or are you scarred of those stories that have been going around lately?" Madison asked. Recently, there has been a string of killings. About seven people were killed, and no one knew what it was. Most people said that it was the ghost wanting revenge.
"Oh come on Madison, dad says those stories are just ways people feel better about what's going on."
"I don't know. Ghosts are known to be brutal," Madison joked.
"Don't start," Sakura said as they turned the corner. Unknown to them a figure watched them from the shadows, and an aura of pure darkness surrounded him.
"New victims," it said softly, and licked its lips.
*********
The young man drank his tenth cup of juice and looked around, there was that feeling again. But it wasn't the feeling he was getting from that girl; this one was darker, more destructive, and more deadly. He stood up, and without a word walked out the door.
'So you finally decide to show yourself,' he thought.
*********
"Uh...Sakura, are you sure we're going to the right way?" Madison asked.
"Pretty sure, why?"
"Because this alley is darker than I remember," she said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm positive this is the right way," Sakura replied. As they walked, Sakura started to get a weird feeling. She had been feeling the same thing, the same dark presence since they had got here, but she didn't want to worry Madison. She hoped they were going to be out soon, but the alley seemed more like an endless maze, full of twists and turns. When they made one last turn, that feeling was at it's strongest. An extremely cold chill came down her spine, and the dark feeling just seemed to be all she could feel.
"Sakura, are you okay?" Madison asked her friend.
"Maybe we should get out of here," Sakura replied.
"I think, you should stay for some fun," a voice suddenly said. The girls looked around them, but it was so dark they could barely see anything.
"What was that?" Sakura asked.
"You're right, we should get out of here," Madison agreed.
"Where is out?" The voice started to chuckle.
"Exactly. You see, ever since you, two entered this alley, you have been wandering in an alley of darkness. Only mages, wizards, and I know the way out!" Sakura saw Madison tremble. Pure fear was in her eyes. She wanted to help, but she was afraid to, and it was like they were both frozen in fear. Not only that, but Sakura could hear the voice getting closer, and closer.
'Mom if you can hear me, please help us,' she prayed.
*******
The stranger looked up, and saw a dome of darkness in an alley. He sensed the two energies he felt from when he first reached town in the same place right now.
'Those girls better be careful, or else they'll be the next victims,' he thought.
*******
"It's meal time!" the voice suddenly shouted, and a man rushed out them.
"GET AWAY!!!!!!" Sakura shouted with all her might, and outstretched her hand. A powerful wind suddenly formed, and blew the man to ground. Sakura and Madison opened their eyes, and found that they were all right, and a man with red eyes, long nails, long black hair, and ripped yellow pants on the ground.
"We're all right?" Madison asked.
"I guess we are," Sakura figured. The man growled.
"You're more powerful than I thought. You must have magical abilities if you can summon a wind that powerful in seconds. Once I kill you, I'll take your magic energy, and become mighty!"
"That's gross!" Sakura and Madison said at the same time.
"You don't have a say in the matter! Now get ready to die!" the man jumped at them again, but suddenly he was knocked back again, by a kick. The girls looked, and saw the stranger from the restaurant.
"You two all right," he asked as he looked at them. Sakura nodded, and the young man's eyes fell on her necklace.
'There it is. Who would of thought it would belong to this girl,' he thought. The man jumped up and growled at him.
"How dare you spoil my chance to become powerful!"
"You should be more worried about your life than how powerful you are," he replied. "Demon." Sakura and Madison gasped.
"A demon? But I thought they were just stories," Madison said.
"So you figured it out. Well at least now I can drop this stupid human mask," the demon replied and started to transform. His skin turned a dark blue, and his black hair became blood red, his nails slowly became claws, and his muscles grew five times, than what they were before. Under his hood, the young man smirked.
"It's about time," he said.
"I'll finish you quickly! You stupid human!" the demon charged, and slashed with his claws, but the young man quickly jumped, and flipped over him.
"You must be one of those weak class E demons," he said.
"How dare you!" the demon yelled, and attacked with a stab. The stranger flipped over him again, and in mid air he reached into his cloak and pulled out a sword.
"Ready?" he asked. The demon growled, and attacked wildly with his claws. The stranger blocked all his attacks with hardly any effort. The demon attacked his head, but he ducked under his arm, and slashed his stomach. Green blood started ooze out of the wound.
"D-d-damn you," he growled. As the stranger walked up to him, the demon jumped, and grabbed Sakura's necklace.
"Hey! What are you doing!" she cried. The demon laughed, and swallowed it.
"Shit!" the stranger growled. The demon laughed as his skin became black, and his eyes yellow. His claws became longer, and stronger, and his power grew greatly.
"Now I can beat you! You stupid slayer!" the demon yelled and charged.
'What did he say? A slayer?' Sakura thought.
'Damn! He's gotten faster!' the stranger thought. The demon stabbed him in his stomach, and started to laugh.
"HA! With that necklace inside of me I knew you'd be no match for me!" But when he looked again, he saw he only stabbed his cloak. The demon looked behind him, and saw a young man with chestnut hair, green robes, and a sword in his hands.
"Bad move youkai," the stranger said with a smirk, and stabbed him where his heart was. The demon just laughed.
"You fool! My heart isn't there like you weak humans!" with that, the demon slashed the young man to the ground.
'Looks like I'll have to turn it up a little bit,' he thought with a smirk.
"Time to finish this!" the youkai shouted, and charged. The stranger raised up his index finger, his middle finger, and his thumb.
"Force know my plight," he said slowly.
'What's he doing?' Sakura thought.
"Die!" the demon shouted, and thrust out his claws.
"Release the light! Lighting!" suddenly, lighting stuck the attacker, and while he stunned, the stranger gripped his sword, and hacked him in two. Sakura and Madison shut their eyes at how brutal he was. As the two pieces fell, they slowly burned up, and the green blood pool was gone. The dark area slowly turned back into the normal alley the girls knew.
"If you ask me he's kinda cute," Madison whispered to her friend. "Don't you think." Sakura rolled her eyes, and approached him.
"Thanks for saving us," she said, but he didn't even bother to turn around. He just picked up the necklace, and sheathed his sword.
'One down, six to go,' he thought.
"Uh.... excuse me, but that's mine." The stranger just looked at her, but said nothing. Then after a while he just threw it back at her, and was about to walk off, when
"Hey, you could at least tell us your name!" Madison called.
"Yeah, and why that thing ate my necklace," Sakura added. The stranger stopped, and looked at them.
"My name is Li, and that necklace is one of the seven jewels that can destroy world."
AN: Talk about intense! Who would of thought jewels can be so deadly! But why would a demon want a jewel like that? And what's Li doing trying to take Sakura's necklace? And just how powerful is Sakura's magic if she can blow away a demon? The answers to these questions and more in the next chapter of Seven Deadly Jewels. I hope you liked my first ever CCS fic. In fact this also my first non-crossover fic. Don't worry it'll get better. So with that said, See ya!
