Wake Up! Demon

<<<Previous Chapter

The sun is about to set at Gouki castle, the Land of Demons. Jun approaches his brother after the incident at Biba Island.

Jin: So, you’re saying Ryusuke already breached the island huh. Well... I assumed he is quite fond of the project. Jun: Onii-sama, I’ll make sure to fix this ASAP! Jin: Fix? (*Laugh)... You must have gone insane. Do you even know who we’re facing right now? It’s only a matter of time till he discovers us who doing those... Or he might already know by now... Jun: ... Then, h-how do you propose me to proceed this? Jin: Get me Guro... Looks like it is time to awake “the real demon”. Jun: The real demon? Of whom you referring to, Onii-sama? Jin: Just get him here already! And you... you might be needed to assist him this time. Jun: Yes Onii-sama, please forgive my ignorance. Jin: (... Just wait little longer... Kami-sama!) - (*Creak) Door opens. Jun and Guran enter the room. Jin seat leisurely on his chair.

Guro: Greetings my lord, heard that you had summon me for some reasons. Jin: Guro Kusanagi... It’s been awhile since I met you. Have a seat. Guro: Thank you my lord. Jin: I need you and your 'pawns' to do a little favor for me. I need you to go to a place, quite far. Konohagakure, the Land of Fire. Guro: Konoha? Jin: Yes, Konoha. There is someone I need you to get... A lady named Reika Amane, a Konoha kunoichi. Guro: And for what reason would you needed her for? Jin: To lure Ryusuke Senju... Bait him to you... And I want you to push him to his limit. Guro: That guy again huh... But, if you want me to push his power limit, wouldn’t go to him directly would be much quicker? Jin: No, that won’t do. Plus, you’re not at his level to get him go full power... I’m pretty sure you know the game you’re about to play right? Guro: Using that girl huh... Do I need to keep her alive? Jin: Do whatever it takes to get what I just told earlier. But it is best if you could keep her alive. Guro: Got it, my lord. Jin: If you have no other questions, you can proceed now. Guro: For the greater Demon King, I’ll take my leave... Jin: Oh Guro, one tip. Don’t underestimate her! Guro: Yes, my lord! (*Leaves the room) Jin: And you, my lovely sister... Trail him, make sure he comes back alive. Jun: Yes Onii-sama, I won’t disappoint you this time. Jin: Well... you’d better not. --- A week later in the land of fire, Team 07 led by Reika Amane stop by an abandoned Onsen for a quick rest before heading back to Konoha. After a short break at the Onsen, as Reika got done with her clothes and exit the place, 3 persons approach her.

Guro: Good evening! You must be Reika Amane right? Reika: Yes, that’s me... And who might you guys be? Guro: Oh ya, sorry for my rude approach. Where’s my manner huh... I’m Guran and these 2 are my students. You don’t need to know them though... By the way, do you know a guy by the name of Ryusuke Senju. We actually have been trying to search for him since a couple of days. Reika: Ryusuke...? Yeah, I know him but sorry I’ve no idea where he is right now. But... May I know why you’re looking for him? Guro: (*Smirk) Well... If you want to know, why don’t you come with us? Reika: Huh…?

Aki and Ikoma approach Reika while they exit the Onsen.

Aki: Ah sorry sensei, you must’ve been waiting for quite long... Oh? Who are these guys, sensei? Guro: Hmmm... So, you’re a sensei huh. Well, do you wanna come with us or not? Reika: Ah ya, it’s ok. I don’t think I should be mandling with your business... Guro: Mandling? (*giggling) Of course not. In fact, I really need you to come with us right now. Reika: Come with you? For what? Guro: Ermmm... How should I say this... Lure Ryusuke? (*Smirk) Ikoma: Sensei... What’s going on right now? Reika: You 2, stay behind! Guran right? What do you mean by luring Ryusuke? Guro: Ah mannn... You really talk a lot huh. Why don’t you just come with us so that… I CAN KILL HIM! Right in front of your eyes. Got it? Anyway, Guran is just a name I pick out in the blue. Reika: What the...? Natsu jump in front of the team. Natsu: (*Withdrawing his 2 swords) Too bad for you guys, you’re not going anywhere with our sensei! Team 07: Natsu! Natsu: Whoever you are… Get away from us or... Rita: Or what lil’ boy? Natsu: I’m gonna fucking kick your asses! Reika: Natsu! Stand back! These guys are not your opponents. I need you guys to go to the 34th outpost and get reinforcement... NOW! Guro: Whaaat? Are you just gonna go and leave your lady to fight alone. Well... What should I expect, you’re just a lil’ boy after all. Natsu: What did you say!? Guro: Come here boy. I’ll play with you for some time... Natsu: Arrrrghhh YOUUU! (*Approach Guro)

Reika chases after Natsu but blocked by Doma and Rita.

Rita: Please don’t spoil his manliness...

Reika clashes with Doma and Rita while Natsu fighting Guran alone.

Natsu: Fire Style! Hellbringer Punch!!!

A big flame force towards Guro but he easily dodges it.

Guro: You’re quite impressive for a kid...

Fight continues between the 2 guys. Explosions are everywhere as Natsu throw his jutsus. While Ikoma and Aki watch their fight getting hype.

Ikoma: I’m gonna go! Help them! Aki: Ikoma! But sensei told us... Ikoma: They can’t stand any longer if we both go together. Plus, I ain’t forgive myself if anything happen to sensei... So, you go now to the outpost. QUICK!

Doma slipped in his fight and approach behind Aki.

Doma: You’re not going anywhere kid! (*About to land a hit to Aki) Ikoma: (*Withdraw his war hammer) Lightning Style! Beast Bomb!!!

Ikoma swings his war hammer towards Doma but Doma withstand the hit and thrown back further.

Reika: (Ice Release, Hidden Frost Technique...)

Causing the temperature of air to fall, the ground and trees freezing. Mist cover the battlefield. Doma and Rita try to get away from the mist.

Reika: (*Through wireless radio) Go now, I’ll cover you.

Aki quickly jump out exiting the mist.

Rita: (*Sniffing) Where do you think you’re going, boy… My nose can see better than my eyes.

Rita chases after Aki. As she is reaching him, she is about to struck Aki with her claw jutsu. Aki: (*Try to block her) Oh god, will I die here…?

Rita suddenly frozen with ice as she steps on the ground.

Aki: Sensei… Reika: (*Through wireless radio) Hurry up, Aki!

Doma rush towards Reika with his attack. The mist faded away.

Doma: (Damn it! That bitch always careless) Ikoma: I’ll assist you sensei! Reika: No! You go to Natsu. He is much needed there!

Ikoma approaches Natsu.

Natsu: Why are you here, damn it! I got this! Ikoma: I won’t be here if it wasn’t sensei told me to, idiot! Natsu: Heh, but weren’t you already broke her order to go earlier? Ikoma: Shut up and focus on the enemy, fool. Sensei sense that this guy is the strongest... She’ll come after she’s done with that big guy. So, we should hold on till then. Got it? Guro: Are you done talking boys? ‘Cause I’m getting bored here... Natsu: Of course! And you’ll be done soon too! (*Charges toward Guro)
