Chapter 5

Souls seeped through the flesh of the dead filling the air with ominous sorrow. As the first soul began to ascend to the next level, a barrier formed around the village stopping the gathers of the dead from entering.

The souls were quickly taken captive by the form of a young girl who moved though the marketplace. In ju few few hours, she had gathered all the souls of the dead villagers in a glittering glass jar she carried.

The live energy that the young creature had taken from the villagers caused the death of the body thus releasing the souls of her victims, which was what she really desired and needed. The boost in power from the life energy was also something she did need so that she could sing her deadly song, but the treasure was the souls.

Her business there complete, the girl left the village to the dead. She started down the path that led to the next village, death following her footsteps. She paused as she stopped to listen to a voice on the wind.

‘Quickly Aniketo, quickly. The bitch, the miko has returned, she will work against us. Free me.’ The voice of her father and master called to her.

She would hurry, she had more souls to gather and soon she would find all the prefect, pure souls needed to break the seals that held her master, Naraku.
