The Thunder Emperor And The Four Gods

- Chapter 1 – The Fuchiyoin Heir. -

Lighting struck the sky above lighting the dim alleyway with an eerie light. Here and there dead bodies lie wasted on the thrash-hewn and bloodied alley floor. Only four silhouettes remain standing – three at the end of the alley where it ends abruptly and one at the mouth of the alleyway, glowing faintly with power.

At least, it seems like power to him, the prince Fearsome Prince. But somehow the Fearsome Prince that had smiled in the face of death was shivering, ever so slightly, with fear. It was unthinkable.

'Who are you?' the boy asked, or at least he had the features of a boy. But somehow with the electric thread snaking the air around him – the boy seems to resemble a monster more than a man.

'Who are you?' the boy repeated.

'We are the Fuga and this is Fuga territory. A voice not his replied. Toshiki. He had been so drown in his fear that he had almost forgotten the existence of the other two.

'What do you want?' Juubei asked.

'The boy didn't answer him but his gaze felled onto the dead bodies. Something in his eyes changed.

'Why did you kill them?' the boy asked his voice neither angry nor pained.

Kazuki eyes gazed at the bloody mess that the three of them had created. No pity he felt for the people he had killed. They deserve.

'They killed a lot of people just for the fun of it.' He finally answered and as he did, the fear he had felt began to dim. He was the Fearsome Prince and the leader of the Fuga. He should start acting like one. 'And they did it in the Fuga territory. Tell me what you would have done?'

The boy didn't answer but merely stare at him with those innocent yet power-filled eyes. Then, suddenly, the boy let his gaze fall. It was not a sign of defeat but of respect

'I'm sorry.' The boy turned to leave. 'I won't enter this place again.'

Kazuki started. He couldn't believe his ears. The gaze that the boy had held had been full of challenge. Now, he was just going to leave? It perplexed him.

The boy was strong and as the past had taught him, all powerful people hunger for more power and territory. Even him. But here was someone that may be stronger than him and yet void of that mad hunger.

'Wait!'

The boy paused in his step and half-turned.

'Who are you?' Kazuki asked.

'Gingji.' The boy answered in that monotone less voice. 'Amano Gingji. Protect your territory well.'

In that instant, all of his fear vanished, replaced by a feeling of admiration and dedication. He knew right then and there that he could never be the leader of the Infinite City. He was too power-craving.

But this Amano Gingji… was different. He was a man worth following. Powerful yet gentle – he was a natural leader – a natural emperor.

The boy turned to leave again.

'Wait…'
