As Sakura stared at the dead snake demon with horror, Ayame, Aki and Hiro ran inside the oak tree.  When they saw the snake demon dead, they all looked at Sakura with astonishment, and disbelief. How did Sakura, a gentle yet helpless girl slay a high class demon?

"Y-y-you've awakened Sakura," stuttered Aki as he eyed Sakura's sharp katana.

"Holy macro! Cool sword! Your sword even has magic infused in it! Only the best sword in a millennium gets a magic infusion," shouted Ayame with awe.

" I guess the girl did all the work this time,"sighed Hiro dramatically, "I'm such a loser! "

" Ha! You called yourself loser! I will remember this forever! Hiro, the perverted, idiotic LOSER," laughed Ayame as she wiped her tears from laughing to hard.

  "Ummm...Guys? Sakura is still in depression, " said Aki with a frown.

" I-I-I c-c-can't believe it. I killed a demon....I'm a murderer of a demon," stuttered Sakura as she looked at her hands.

As Aki, Ayame and Hiro tried to comfort Sakura, a beautiful pink, glowing orb etched with a detailed golden tree appeared. Then, suddenly, Suki's body slowly disappeared into colourful, glistening scales. As they all stared in surprise at the demon's body, a gorgeous, glowing girl spirit with elf ears came out from the bark of the tree.

"Stay back! Who are you," asked Ayame as she pointed her meteorite sword at the girl.

"Woah, Ayame! Just because you're jealous of her beauty doesn't mean that you point your sword at her," said Hiro,"Right, babe?"

"Don't call the spirit 'babe', Hiro, "snapped Aki as he eyed the glowing orb.

"Human, I have no time for your flirting. And girl drop your sword. I come in peace. My name is Mitsuki.  I am the spirit from this tree," explained the spirit,"Years ago, I was the guardian of the 4 magical orbs. However, four demon's,  including Suki stole them."

"Well, your welcome. Now we better leave," said Ayame as she began to walk away.

"Wait! You need the orbs to stop the chaos! Here, take this orb. Now go find the other orbs before the dark destined one finds them,"hurried Mitsuki as she handed the orb to Sakura.

"How do we know that you're not lying?," growled Ayame.

However, before Ayame could criticize more than she already has, Sakura took the orb and said,"Thanks you Mitsuki! Ummm...how do I un-poof this katana?"

"Easy, just will it to with your demonic power," replied Mitsuki as she began to disappear into the oak tree.

"Sakura, are you sure that you can trust her.  What if you go all bizarre or cumbust after willing your demonic power?

"Chill Ayame! Just go with the flow," said Hiro as he winked at the spirit.

Immediately, Ayame shouted, "Ugh! You're such a block head Hiro!"

As Sakura's katana, Kiri began to vanish into the air, they began to walk out the oak tree. Who would've thought they would miss the green, lush grass and the warmth of the sun so much?

"Ahhhhh! Real grass," said Sakura as she bent down to pick a flower.

  The sky was no longer grey. Beautiful, white, fluffy clouds filled the sky as the birds chirped their melody and the wind harmonized their song. As the wind blew and the leaves fell,  Sakura placed the pink orb in a bag she found in the oak tree.

Then suddenly,  a massive 17 feet eagle swooped down at them. The eagle looked deadly, with long talons that where sharper that knives. However, the beast was beautiful. The feathers that covered it glistened in the sun. Colours of the rainbow where reflected by the beast's eyes. The eagle was so frightening that the animals of the forest dared not to be in sight.

As the eagle swooped down again towards them, Ayame shouted, "Duck!"

"Where? I love ducks," replied Aki with excitement.

" No, no! Duck," yelled Ayame as she pointed at the massively dangerous eagle.

"Kyaaaa,"shouted Aki as he fell back.

"What.......Oh my goodness! What is with our luck," whispered Sakura.

"Let's find a place to hide first before we chit-chat, " hissed Ayame as the eagle can charging towards them.

As they ran under a bush, the eagle flew closer and closer......
