Path Of The Mysterious Lady

It has been a month since Haruka save Yahiko, she is now training the {Seven Sound of Sin} hoping to completely master all the seven sound. She had mastered Envy, Greed, Wraith, Sloth, and Gluttony. Even after the fight with Hanzo, Haruka still keeps on training to improve her capabilities. She knew that Hanzo will not be the last opponent she had to face.

Haruka now was at one of a mountain far from her cave. She opens her storage and took out a huge scroll. She sends chakra into the scroll and suddenly smoke burst out. "Who summons me?" said the huge shadow that was cover with smoke. The smoke spreads out and the shadow becomes clear, it was Ibuse. Haruka used the salamander summoning scroll.

Ibuse looked around and spotted Haruka, without waiting Ibuse rushed in hoping to stomp Haruka. "Bone Magic: White Chain" and white chain came out from the ground and hold Ibuse down. "YOU! LET ME GO!" roared Ibuse and try to break free from the chain.

Haruka knew that this was coming, she went to Ibuse. "Ibuse forms a contract with me," said Haruka. "NEVER!" shouted Ibuse. "Ibuse, you are a venom salamander right?" asked Haruka. "Of course, I am the poisonous salamander," said Ibuse. "Let's bets!" said Haruka and she continued "Ibuse, you used your most dangerous poison mist on me and if I am alive, then I win. You need to form a contract with me, however, if I lose you are free to go. " said Haruka. Ibuse was in deep thought before agreeing to the bets.

Haruka waved her hands and the white chain disappear. Ibuse got up and look at Haruka. Suddenly Ibuse releases dangerous poison mist to Haruka. Purple mist surrounds Haruka and the area. Trees start withering and animals start dying. Ibuse was standing for five minutes and there was no movement. "You lost," said Ibuse and was preparing to go back. As Ibuse was walking away, it notices that the purple mist start disappearing. It turns back and found that the poison mist is being absorbed by Haruka.

After a minute there was no more poison mist around the area. Ibuse was shocked at Haruka capability of Haruka. It went forward, "How are you alive?" asked Ibuse. "My bloodlines has something call acid release and poison release. There is a huge amount of poison in my blood and body, so your poison doesn't affect me," answered Haruka.

"Ibuse, I won the bets, so form a contract with me," said Haruka. Ibuse was in deep thought again, but he agreed. Suddenly on the Salamander Summoning Scroll, there is Haruka name on it and disappear along with Ibuse.

Haruka smiles at her reward and slammed her hand down to the ground. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Ibuse" and smoke spread around the area. Haruka was now standing on top of Ibuse. "What do you want?" asked Ibuse quite angry. "I just want to give you this." and Haruka took out a green pill and put it in Ibuse mouth. After a few minutes, Ibuse roar "This feels great!" Haruka was standing on Ibuse almost fall down. "Girl give me more," asked Ibuse. "I will give you two week per pill," said Haruka. Ibuse starts complaining, but eventually stop knowing that he won't get any more.

Haruka was sitting on top of Ibuse as it swims along the river. As they were traveling along the river, she feels an unusual dark aura from her right. "Girl you feel it too right?" asked Ibuse as he was on guard. "Yes" "Let go and see," said Haruka, which Ibuse swims toward the dark aura.

Haruka and Ibuse reached a village, as the dark aura was leaking out of the village. They went into the village. For the first time, Haruka was scare since she reincarnated to this world. There are corpse, bones, skeleton, and blood everywhere. The houses were burning, the street is painted in scarlet red and bones scattered around the street. "It seems there been like the job of Bandit," said Ibuse and noticed that Haruka was standing still. "Ibuse do you know where the bandits are?" asked Haruka. "Wait a moment." Ibuse then walked back to the river. Leaving Haruka alone in the village. Haruka starts walking through the village and noticed that a box was moving. She went forward and open it.

"WAAAAAHHH! Don't hurt me!" screamed a kid. There was a kid hiding in the box. Haruka helps the kid out of the box and ask "What happen here?". The moment Haruka asked the kid about the village, he cried and start telling about how a huge group of bandits about hundred. They came, attack and kill everyone. After hearing what had happened, Haruka frowned. She opens her storage and takes out a loaf of bread, water, and a sleeping pill. She handed the bread and water to the boy. The boy eats the bread and drinks the water fast as he been hiding for several days. Haruka then gives the boy a sleeping pill and he takes it thinking it was candy.

After a few minutes, Ibuse came back to Haruka. "Hey, girl. Oh, who is that boy?" asked Ibuse. "A survivor. Ibuse, can you somehow bring this boy along with this letter to Yahiko?" asked Haruka holding the boy and letter. "Sure I can ask my follower to do it," said Ibuse and a white salamander appeared. "What is it Ibuse-sama." asked the white salamander. After giving the instruction to the white salamander disappear along with the boy and letter. Only Haruka and Ibuse was left in the village. "What are you going to do then?" asked Ibuse.

(Music: Sadness and Sorrow)

Haruka didn't answered and walked to a stone chair and sit on it. Opening her storage, she took out her Divine Ghost Zither. Haruka played one of the song from {Seven Sound of Sin: Wraith - Song of Sorrow}. Placing her hands on the strings, she starts playing it. The sound of sorrow ranged throughout the village. Ibuse was deeply caught in the song. The taste of bitterness of pain and suffered, the feeling of not being able to live. The pain of wanting revenge. Ibuse noticed that the corpse and bones start glowing. Instantly the whole place was filled with soul, ghost, the spirit of sorrow.

Haruka keeps on playing the song, Ibuse was scared as he never before stands near to death and realized that Haruka was not a simple strong girl. As the songs keep playing, Ibuse saw something that he shouldn't. Death, death itself was hovering above Haruka. Without knowing Haruka has summoned the Shinigami. Shinigami was above Haruka staring down at the ghost, spirit, and soul. Spirit, ghost, and soul of the dead start screaming and shouting. "We want revenge!" "REVENGE!" "I will kill them!" "Kill!" "HELP!" "KILL!" "Slaughtered THEM!" "DESTROY THEM!".

Haruka stops playing and looked at the army of sorrow. She felt pain, sorrow, suffer and sad after hearing the voice of the dead.

"Let's us go." "Let's go!" shouted Haruka as she summons a huge skeleton cart. She went and sit on it and continue playing the song. The army of sorrow start walking and crawling and the skeleton cart move through the forest. On that day many travelers witness the army of sorrow as they travel through the forest.

After the Army of sorrow and Haruka has left, Ibuse was still not moving. Ibuse knew that he had formed a contract with death. For the first time in its life Ibuse felt fear, even after going through hundreds of battle with Hanzo. Ibuse turned at the direction of the army of sorrow and follow behind.
