Guard My House (Heero)

Peace Town. Boy they sure got it right; the view from up here showed exactly why this place could be considered a literal interpretation of it's name.

Heero sat on top of the roof of the person who'd hired him to protect the house. His sword; Ragnarok lay in it's sheath right next too him on the rooftop. The wind up here wasn't so bad, but more than anything, it allowed him too crawl around and remain hidden should the "unwanted guests" who'd been showing up trying to break in from time too time during the past week did show up again.

Likely they would.

Heero's sword began too glow with a white light as Sylmeria whirled out of his blade, and hovered just infront of him.

"You must be bored!" she commented.

"Not really...I'm on a roof!" he smirked "Don't worry, I'm sure someone'll show up soon enough...calm down." he chided her sarcastically with another grin. She smirked at him, but then whirled and disappeared back into his blade.

Eventually, the sun began too set. Lamps began coming on all around Peace Village as the green village had a nice little glow about itself around Dusk. He'd been about too come down from the roof of the mini mansion, when he thought he'd heard a noise. Someone crawling into the backyard perhaps? It sounded like one of the gates of this property swinging open and shut. He was supposed to be the only person allowed here right now; had his unwelcome guests returned?

Heero got down on his belly, and crawled towards the noise. It seemed to be coming from the opposite side of the roof; once he'd gotten a vantage point. He slowly peeked over the back of the houses down into the backyard.

'Monster Dice' :

Heero watches as five theives appear through the brush; they appeared too be making a bee-line for the house; attempting too get up close and out of the yard quickly. Smart. At least it would've been, if Heero hadn't be on the roof watching the entire thing.

He'd slip down the roof without so much as making a peep, until he was directly above the crooks. Most of them were older than him, he could easily make that out just by the sounds of their voices from directly above.

Eventually, he'd start too hear what sounded like tools being opened. This he decided was his opportunity since he didn't actually want them too break into the house.

He flipped down and landed behind the entire group. He unsheathed his blade as it flickered and flashed white whilst being drawn. The moment it was fully drawn, Sylmeria and Hrist both appear in a twist of flame, flanking Heero on both sides.

Heero dashed too their right with a few steps as he went into a whirlind like strike. Spinning faster than the theives could see, he would whirl through them, his blade passing like wind.

Just as he would finish his spins at a glide; Sylmeria would come whirling through the thieves, draped in fire. Her tail and claws completely shredded into two of the theives, who nearly passed out immediately. The others managed too duck and slide around quick enough too get out of the way of the buzzsaw like whirlind from both Heero and Sylmeria.

In the next moment; Heero would put his blade on his shoulder and smirk at the theives, raising one hand in their direction and sending both Hrist and Sylmeria forward. The two Demon Sisters glided like phantoms with fire licking off of Sylmeria, darkness off of Hrist, and performed two body leaning mega punches towards two of the theives. One was completely clobbered by Hrist's gauntlet; the other nimbly flipped out of the way of Sylmeria's clawed fist.

The two Demon Sisters flew around after they'd missed, and began to circle Heero like wraiths. He then pointed his sword at the group again as the theives this time came running forward too meet the Demon Sisters head on. One completely whiffed his attack, and got his face nearly clawed off by Sylmeria, but pressed on too fight. The other met Hrist's gauntlet head on with a slash from his own not very well kept sword.

The two banged off of one another.

Heero made a bee line forward, zig zagging left too right as he approached a single thief, cutting him off from his two remaining companions as Sylmeria and Hrist glided over too the other two.

Two swift slashes; and a noise like a pipe hitting a windshield resounded as the flat of Heero's blade slapped into the thief he was attacking twice. He'd spared him, rather than cutting his head off completely. He passed out, unconscious.

Then, Heero heard a battle cry. It seemed one of the two remaining theives had had it up too here. He bolted inbetween Sylmeria and Hrist; both of the Demon Sisters merely stood there, watching as the young man bolted up towards Heero. Heero who was caught slightly off guard, stumbled his way backward.

The theif flurried at him three times, but they were more like flails. If his skill or focus had still been there; he would've definitely sliced into Heero with the way he'd just dodged.

Suddenly, the second too last came bolting forward from the side; catching Heero off guard and managing too slice him right in the shoulder, it was only a nick but it stung pretty badly.

Heero would immediatetly, spin off and whirl his Longsword impressively, holding it into the sky as Sylmeria and Hrist would whirl into it like a vacuum, twisting around the blade as it flickered with white light and in a twist of flames summoned Lilith too his side. She floated up and down, noticing he'd been slashed through his shoulder.

"Ooooo...that looks like it stings."

"Ugh, can it? Can we get these guys?!"

With that, the two bolted forward with speed that seemed unnatural. Heero and Lilith would go into a tandem duo of strikes. Lilith seemed too move with insane speeds, fire licking off of her martial arts style strikes as she flipped and performed stomping kicks and hammer punches into the side of the theives faces, flames trailing all around her. Heero himself slowed down out of the inital burst run to perform three mighty swings. He put all of his weight behind each swing.

On the last swing, Heero and Lilith would target the same thief of the remaining two as Heero would step forward and perform a spin, tucking Ragnarok as Lilith spun next to him. Lilith would peform a crane kick just as Heero swung Ragnarok upwards, likely launching the the bandit back several feet into the backyard from the patio where they now fought.

Heero and Lilith's combination attack landed the first few hits, with Heero nearly knocking one of the remaining thieves unconscious and Lilith spin kicking another in the side of the head with flames licking off of her feet.

Everything else though; the thieves slippery dodging came right in handy as they weaved through mighty sword cleaves by Heero and quick martial strikes from Lilith as her attacks went blazing by.

The theives came forward as soon as their assault ended; one attempted a leaping whirlwind kick on Lilith. She easily ducked underneath him; dodging both kicks as she stepped behind him.

The other one came at Heero, who again, nearly tripped and fell. However the theif was just as foolish in this moment, as he swiped at the falling Heero twice whiffing at air both times as the former just regained his balance from nearly tripping again whilst attempting too dodge.

Hero then spun forward with his sword; attempting a mighty rising strike flipping his sword upside down and striking with the pommel of his blade in a rising upper.

Heero and the thief he was attempting to rising Pommel Strike met in a blade clash; knocking one another back. The thief then spun forward with his rusty longsword and attempted too swats at Heero.

Heero turned his blade upwards, and then downward; almost by instinct as sparks flew. Two successful parries without problem. Then without warning; the thief zig zagged around Lilith, seeing an opening against Heero who wasn't paying attention too him. With a leaping spin kick; he hit Heero's face with a thud, landing at a cartwheel as he passed acrobatically.

Lilith, now heated; and extremely angry that he'd ignored her and bee lined for Heero, attempted too strike him down with two gliding haymakers that would've lifted him off the ground.

The thief carthweeled out of the way as Lilith passed him by both times.

The thieves regrouped with one another; and nodded before bullrushing in again. They both assaulted Heero with their longswords again; Heero easily weaves out of the way of their slashes but one hit him straight across his leg; which hurt, quite a bit.

He backed off a few steps, whirling his sword and pointing it skyward as Sylmeria once again appeared on the battlefield; joining Heero and Lilith. The tail of the Dragon Sister thrashed around in the grass a little as she flexed her claws, flames licking off of her. In the blink of an eye; she was upon the two theives.

She whirled and claw raked at them as flames surrounded both she; and them as she assaulted. They did an excellent job of parrying her claws with their blades; until her tail came whirling and slapped once thief on the side of his face. Knocking him out completely.

The last thief backed off now; his crew completely subdued.

"Curse you mage, you're out here all alone just too stop us from gettin' in?" the lowlife tried to make Heero feel guilty or foolish. The young sword mage simply shook his head.

"And it takes five of you too break into one house?" he retorted. With that; Heero would cock his blade behind him, pointing it back at the ground behind him, calling both Lilith, and Sylmeria back into the blade.

"Ah so you don't need your demon whores too face me like a man!" he mocked, scraping his longsword; which had a rapier like handle against his boots before flicking it up at Heero and beckoning him forward.

Heero was quite pissed off at his last statement, so he merely without response began walking towards the bandit; his blade still pointed down and back at the ground behind him. Dragging along the grass ever so lightly.

Heero and the thief he was attempting to rising Pommel Strike met in a blade clash; knocking one another back. The thief then spun forward with his rusty longsword and attempted too swats at Heero.

The thief spun forward with his Longsword and faked a slash as he performed a spin kick straight too Heero's stomach, followed by a backflip kick into his face, which he landed perfectly.

He rushed in for another attack upon landing from his backflip; a lunge with his rapier like longsword. Heero sidestepped, reached forward and grabbed the curved handles of the somewhat fancy blade; although it was in the condition a bandit would have it. He yanked forward and knee'd the bandit in his stomach as he got close. Before delivering a thundering uppercut too him as the bandit stumbled backward.

He then performed a feint too his left, and swatted with his rapier longsword too his right. Forcing Heero too follow him, but then walking straight into his blade as it whacked against his other shoulder, slicing into it nicely.

Heero spun his blade behind his back and stepped forward into a bladelock with the thief who managed too block a from behind the back full momentum strike from Hero's blade as noise and sparks alike flew from force of the two clashing.

#8 'Block Dice' :

From their bladelock; the two began to circle one another without breaking the lock. Merely footwork. They stared one another down; and the intensity on both of their faces signaled that there would be no retreat here in this clash of blades.

In the next moment, everything seemed to come too life. Their blades rang out against one another as several white flashes and sparks flew around. The might reverb of their blades went off in several clangs as first Heero parried a bottom too top strike of the thief, only too have his own top too bottom strike parried. The thief attempted too spin off of this parry, and slice Heero in half with a horizontal cleave; however Heero merely flipped his blade too that side of himself vertically and braced himself against the flat of it. The impact caused him too slide a little to the left.

The thief came rushing in for one final attempt at Heero; however the young mage got extremely calm, taking advantage of the anger rushing towards him. He exhales whirled his blade a few times but moved his feet at a bounce. At the precise moment, he whirled and dodged a lunge; whilst pointing his blade backward.

The thief impaled himself on Heero's blade, as Heero's back pressed against the thief's body, hanging on his sword behind him. Heero pulled his blade from the thiefs stomach with a somber expression. As the thief; with a surprised expression, fell backward off of Heero's blade and onto the grass of the backyard.

He hated too kill. The four other thieves moaned and groaned on the ground; not really able too come too from the blows they'd received.

Hero had a few cuts on each of his shoulders, and one thick one going across his leg. It'd probably make him limp when he did decide too walk on it normally; eh, nothing a bath and some decent magic wouldn't fix.

His sword flashed white, blinking rapidly as the spirits of all three Demon Sisters whirled out of the sword, circling him once but then resting in front of him at a float.

"What was that some kind of weird masculinity thing at the end there?" Lilith crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow at Heero, as she bobbed up and down in front of him.

"Yeah! It's like you totally forgot you could've used us or something!" Sylmeria looked genuinely confused, and or offended as she bobbed up and down.

"He didn't forget you foolish thing, there's something called a swordsman's pride!" Hrist attempted too explain too Sylmeria, who still looked confused as too why Heero didn't just annihilate the final thief when he did have him one on one with a spell from Ragnarok or with one of their help. The only one who floated in front of him, somewhat transparent, and truly understood.

Lilith probably understood as well, but likely thought it silly.

Heero picked up the dead body in front of him; and walked it over too his comrades, who were still moaning and groaning on the ground; some even wincing and hollering occasionally in pain.

Suddenly, from around the corner came the next door neighboors of the man who's house he'd been watching over.

"We heard the commotion, sounded like things got pretty serious. The authorities are already on their way." the neighboors, a middle aged man, and woman said as they stared at the group of theives knocked completely unconscious; one completely gone.

They both shook their heads, and Heero looked down at the ground in a guilty manner.

"I tried not too...." he spoke once somberly.

"Sometimes it's not in the cards young man, sometimes you've just gotta eat your punches, and roll with em." he said this, knowing that from the look on Heero's face; the young swordsman probably did do everything within his power too try and avoid fatal strikes in a situation such as this.

Too Heero, no matter what the theives really were; they were just guys trying too get by. They all had families, and even if they'd be locked up for what they did here tonight...he'd rather not take anyone out permanently unless absolutely neccessary.

With a sigh; Heero watched as the authorities a local guild collection of knights poured into the backyard, standing the four dazed theives too their feet, and placing them under arrest; while a cart came in for the fifth. Heero sighed too himself one final time before closing his eyes and exhaling; beginning his own trek out of the backyard at long last.

He'd have too make sure too write quite the letter too his client about this mission here. It turned out too be more than interesting.

Approved. Fine job. Really fine job! I'm impressed.
