Sword Hearts,chap.17:Invasion
A demon.That was all that people saw him as,back then. A Nekojiashu to be exact.This type of creature of the occult was a person,bitten,scratched or slashed by another Nekojiashu while in its "true form",thus forcing all the attacked persons wicked thoughts and intentions into the form of 1 manipulating,wicked,deciteful anti-conscience voice at the back of the victoms head.But they were too strong to be just voices,they had to be at least split personalities.Split personalities who fed off their victoms fears,anger,sorrow,everything,until the victoms were driven crazy,probably took their own lives,and were dragged down to Hell. A Nekojiashu also had a transformation cycle; whenever there was a particular luner eclipse (from August 30th to September 1st.)It would transform in to its "True Form",a feirce giant cat-like creture and stay like that until the end of the eclipse.There was only one way a Nekojiashu could die.It had to be drowned-in holy water.In other words,if you ever met one in the middle of the desert or a hethen island,you'd be as good as dead.

Even while in humen form they were dangerous though.Usually Nekojiashus listened to the voices in their heads,and those who faught to save their own humanity eventually were driven mad,making them even more dangerous.This explained why most people turned against Rai when they were informed he had become a Nekojiashu.They lost hope in him.It seemed his inescapable fate to be a demon psychopath serial killer.Of course,it only SEEMED, that way at the time.

But Nai and Lou simply cast this so-called "prophecy" aside, and continued to stick by him. He was grateful to have them,but this did not completely make the pain go away.He loved Lou,him being Rais own brother,and Nai he cared for possiblely even more.But the endless struggle against the voice,and the temptation to slaughter those who never left him alone because of his lack of physical humanity, had exuasted him to the point of frustration; causing him to say things he didn't really mean.Horrible things.

In short, it seemed as though even if Rai maraculously managed to hold on to his humanity and sanity,his life would still be an endless struggle to keep from hurting those he loved.
But right when he was about to let the dagger of suicide plunge in to his wary wounded heart,somone showed up to seize it from his grasp and banish it away from Rai forever.
To everyone else his name might have been Fr.Dominic Nightwig,but to Rai,his name would always be Fr.Mangetsu.Why? because thats what he had introdeuced himself as.He said Rai wouldn't get in trouble with the paranoid elders of the village,who were always nagging the little children to stay away from the Christion missionaries,who lived a few miles away from the village. Because if all Rai said was "with Mangetsu," when asked were he had been,no one would know who that was,thus he had more chance of getting away with it. And he said "Mangetsu" suited him so much better then his real name."It means 'full moon' in Japanese." Fr.Mangetsu had explained,"and everyone of my freinds say my eyes somehow remind them of the full moon.And the eyes are supposed to be the window to 1s soul......Or so I've been told." Rai had, had to agree with Fr.Mangetsus freinds.The calm,care-free,laughing light grey orbs of the preist did sort of remind him of 2 small moons with black dots at the centers.

Thoughts and memories of Fr.Mangetsu,Nai,Lou,and everything that kept him alive back then, bruaght a smile to his lips.As he lathered up his black,soaked hair with a combination of shampoo and conditioner,dreams of a certain child-hood freind and what he could have had with her if he would've been aloud to stay, played in his mind.He already had washed his body,meaning it wouldn't be long now until he was finished.The rubbing of the fragranient cream-like substance against his scalp was almost therputic for him after the long weeks of living in an apartment above the Chiniese restrant were he had gotten a job as a waiter.The apartment,for some odd reason,didn't even have a bath or shower.Only a toilet.

After he was done,he rinsed,dried off,got dressed,and continued his exploration of the mysterious house. The next room he came to was a broom closet.For obvious reasons he didn't stay there long.After opening 10 more doors leading to 10 more rooms not worth mentioning,he came to a room with nothing but a red chest. It didn't have any warning on it and it was unlocked. His curiousity over-powering his manners,he opened it to discover all it held was a bunch of papers with words written in English.And they didn't look so old either.Not as old as the house anyway.He picked one of them up and read.

Your haunting my mind all of the time;
I'm starting to write your name on my test paper over and over out of pure obsession;
I can't stop smiling now.
Collapse in your arms,that I shall.

Only you can completely make these visions go away.
I'm laughing in the faces of those who used to banish the peace I so longed for;
Becuase they can't reach me now.
No need to say what we both already know;
I just hope that if ever death should sepperate us,together we should go.

Rai stared at the new-looking piece of parchment and cocked an eye-brow.This paper looked too new to be owned by 1 of the former owners of the house.It had to be Kyoto.Yet it sounded so unlike her and it was so crinkled up from being stuffed messily in the chest for what looked like 2 or 3 years.But the most suspcious of all these things was the name that was printed in the upper right hand corner-Yuki_c0ld.That wasn't close to Kyotos name at all.He supposed it could have been her user-name on some sort of poetry or blog web-site,but she didn't seem the type to join those types of sites.But still,it was a possiblety

He thought about it for a minute more,then gave up,deciding he would ask Kyoto about it lator.He put the paper away,closed the chest,and got up from his kneeling posistion on the floor.He was standing at the door,about to take another step forward when suddenly- "*CLAMMMMMMMMMMMMPTH!*" "*CRASSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!*" "AAHHHHHHHHH!!" This was followed by exighted,frightened screams and exclamations in Japanese.Without hesitation,he ran to the window,threw it open,and saw an unimaginably large gathered group,there had to be at least 100 of them, of zombie-like....Things.They were alot like humans,yet somehow not like humans at all.The 2 things they all had in commen,was that they all had small white pendents embedded in verious places on their bodies; and their eyes were black,empty,and pupless.(Yes,thats right.More Fateless.)

Rai looked were 1 of the Fateless had been a minute before,and saw the owner of the voice which had screamed; dead,floating in a pool of their own blood.The group of Fateless split up into 4s and 5s and made their way to the houses,alongside the road they had appaered in the middle of.One of which just happond to be the 1 Rai was in.(INSERT DRAMATIC MUSIC HERE)

"LANNNNNNNG!" Came Kyotos voice from the door-way.Rai bearly had enough time to turn around,before she grabbed his wrist,and started running through the halls,and up the stairs,towrds his room.Once she got there,she grabbed his Peddleum off the table Rai had set it on,passed it to him,and ran downstairs again; this time,for the back exit.
"What are they?" Rai asked as he stumbled along,in an effort to keep up with Kyoto.
"Fateless!.." She shouted back,tearing down the last hall-way and blasting out the door,still holding Rais hand to make sure he kept up with her."And they're going to burn the entire neighborhood down if we don't hurry!"
