Eternally Yours
Temptress?
class="MsoNormal">13.
size="3">Sango opened the big oak
door and went inside the church building. Her eyes widened when she saw the
beautiful carved angels that decorated the pillars. The windows were coloured
and the rays of the sun was turned into
a spectrum inside the church. “Wow..”
she mouthed as she walked down the aisle.
class="MsoNormal">
size="3">He saw her come inside
his church and he wrinkled his face in disgust. Vile creature, she had no right
to be
inside his wonderful and pure church. The question was.. how did she get
in here in the first place? She was a creature
of the night, they could not
enter the Lord’s holy church, but she had and she seemed to have no trouble at
all to
walk around in it. Father Juliano felt a wave of hate course his body. He
had to get her out from his
church.
class="MsoNormal">Sango stopped at the
altar and looked at the macabre scene. She could
not help but wonder why they
had such a odd thing inside this beautiful place. A man pinned to a cross. A
bloody
thorn crown made his skull bleed. She felt sick just looking at it. That
was a cruel punishment, what crime could
possible deserve a death like this? She
shook her head and turned when she heard a noise coming from one of the smaller
doors next to the altar.
She saw a black
clothed
man; he had prayer beads around his neck and in the end hung a cross, much like
that on the altar. “A
houshi?” The man’s face showed her that he did not
like her, and she could not say that she liked him very much
either. Once he
probably had thick black hair, now it was grey and it sure could use a wash. His
eyes oozed hatred
against her and she guessed he kwhatwhat she was.

What business does the temptress of the devil have inside
this holy church?
He asked with a disgusted voice.
-
size="3">
Temptress?? My good houshi, I am merely a
taijya.
Her words made him grunt,
he
did not understand them.

Why are you here?

My friend has caught a cold and I was told that you would
provide herbs
that could cure him, said Sango and invisible gripped her
boomerang better. She did not like the hostile energy around
the houshi.
size="3">-
size="3">
Why should I provide medicine for a creature that I want to
see dead?
Snarled father Juliano and held up his cross against Sango. – Be gone
from us you creature of
darkness!!
Sango just raised an
eyebrow in a boring manner. What the hell did he think a piece of silver do to
her?

Have you flipped your lid old houshi? she
asked.
He paled visible when she
snorted. He looked down on his cross; it was supposed to make vampires and their
alike to disappear. But it did not
work against her. Perhaps she was the devil
himself?
-
size="3">
Do you have the medicine or not? I don’t have time to stand
here and chit
chat with you houshi.
-
size="3">
I will not give you anything!! he yelled with an high pitched
voice.
size="3">-
size="3">
Do you really believe that I am evil? I have not done
anything to you or
this village, if I wanted to, trust me – you would have
noticed it.
class="MsoNormal">The heavy oak door
cracked open and the blonde man that she had
talked to earlier peeked inside.

Father Juliano?? he asked.

Yes Ivan what is it? spat the priest irritated.

I think she is telling the truth father
Juliano.

She and her friend seem to be good people, said Ivan shakily
when he heard
the raged in the priest’s voice.
-
size="3">
They are the devil’s henchmen; they t det deserve to walk
upon God’s
earth!
“This is not working
at all.
He is insane and he will never back down. I better do something, perhaps
I can show him my purifying power, then he will
now that I am not evil?”
thought Sango.
class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -18.0pt; margin-left: 36.0pt">
lang="EN-GB">-
lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10.0pt">
My good houshi, do you have anything that needs
to be
purified? She asked with her most angelic voice.

style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-family: Times New Roman" lang="EN-GB">

Huh?
-
size="3">
Anything will do, she continued. – I want to prove to you
that I am not
evil.
size="3">-
size="3">
Ha, don’t you think I know the ways of the devil temptress?
You come here
with that vulgar outfit, showing off your body like a whore. Do
you really think I would fall for your curves bitch?
lang="EN-GB">-
lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10.0pt">
Miss, I don’t think it is safe for you to be
here, said Ivan
and moved to stand between her and the priest, something that made her smile
inwardly. There was at
least one who believed her to be good.
-
size="3">
Ivan, don’t protect her! shouted father Juliano, his old eyes
shimmered
with insane hatred towards the young woman… no not woman, a devil.
lang="EN-GB">“Bonking time…”
Sango pushed Ivan out of
the way and used her boomerang and made a short
procedure with knocking out the priest. He fell unconscious to the floor
and
Sango laid her weapon to rest against the nearest bench and then she lifted up
the priest and asked Ivan where
his sleeping quarter was. Ivan showed Sango into
a room in the back and there she saw vials and other containers that
held
medicine. She asked Ivan if he knew which one she could use against a cold and
he gave her a black
box.
lang="EN-GB">-
lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10.0pt">
Thank you Ivan, will you see to him that he does
not come
after us? As soon as my friend is healthy again we will move on, said Sango.
class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -18.0pt; margin-left: 36.0pt">
lang="EN-GB">-
lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10.0pt">
Yes, of course.
class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -18.0pt; margin-left: 36.0pt">
lang="EN-GB">-
lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10.0pt">
You are a good man Ivan, said Sango and kissed
his cheek.
Ivan blushed deeply and
saw
the strange woman disappear from the room. “What a
woman.”
class="MsoNormal">T B C
Hope you all liked it...
I have no idea when Christianity was
introduced in Japan, so I just pretend that
it hasn't during Sango's life time.
