The high-school girl hummed a happy tune as she made her way back to her home. Her features were attractive in that girl-next-door kind of way, with her hair tied back with a single ribbon. If there was one word that could be used to describe how she appeared, it was 'doofus'. In two words, 'cheerful doofus'.
Her ear caught the sound of feet crunching on the grit covering the sidewalk, and paused. She turned. It was a gang of young thugs. They all looked like punks, and this perception would not be far from the truth. They were all grinning—leering at her with base desire.
And they all wore magatamas.
Toushi, like herself.
The worried look she had affected dissolved instantly, replaced by a look of quiet confidence. Unlike a random group of thugs, this group obviously knew exactly who she was. There was no need to pretend to be scared and give them the slip. Instead, she stood her ground and faced them, instantly evaluating them all.
Power: pathetic. Skill: comical.
"So, who is it this time? Rakuyo High? Nanyo Academy?" asked the girl, as if there weren't a bunch of capable fighters threatening violence on her person. Well, they weren't, comparatively.
"You'll be in no shape to care about that in a minute!" growled one of the thugs. "Let's see if you live up to that reputation, Miss 'Destroyer of Souls'! ATTACK!" With that, the gang lunged forward.
The fragile-seeming girl felt a familiar surge of hormones rush through her body. This time, she would do nothing to dampen it. At last, time to really cut loose and experience another battle as a toushi...
Minutes later, only one toushi out of the gang of thirty remained standing, and that last toushi was now on the verge of pissing his pants. "Ahh... ahh... AAHHHH!!!" he screamed in terror; the girl toushi had just finished taking out the twenty-ninth gangmember and was turning toward him. With that devilish grin on her face.
"So, puss-boy," said the girl in a voice halfway between a seductive purr and a threatening snarl, "still any doubts to whether I deserve the name 'Destroyer of Souls'? Eh?"
The last toushi standing became the last toushi running as he squealed like a stuck pig taking off to relative safety. "Not so fast, puss-boy!" came a voice right behind him. He kicked out in fright, only to have that leg captured. This was unfortunate, as he was still trying to run at the time, so he fell flat on his face. The female toushi tossed him up by his captured leg, sailing high above her head. The female toushi crouched down briefly and thrust up a hard, clenched fist right into the last toushi's stomach.
The last toushi fell unconscious at her feet, eyes swirly with being K.O.-ed. (@_@) The girl stood over him, grinning and gasping in ecstasy. "WOOO-HAA!" she screamed in exhilieration, "Nothin' gets the blood pumpin' like a good, hard battle! I've never felt so alive... so happy... so... so..."
Her voice grew weaker and the look of elation faded to fright. Then, as if someone had flipped a switch, the bloodthirstiness was replaced by that of revulsion and horror. "Oh no! Who could've done such a cruel thing to you people?! I'll go get help!" With that, she turned and ran.
That morning...
