I want to write some fanfiction about Tomoe and Akura-ou. Drabbles about these two demons hanging out, causing mayhem and dark mischief. Because the stories will most likely be short I do not want to post them as one shots, but rather as a continuation of drabbles. And I do not want them to only to be posted on Tumblr, but share them with you here as well.
Because we are talking here about two demons who were responsible of slaughtering innocent people and were even feared by demons and punished by the gods for their actions, hereby a reminder that the genre of these stories will be dark and angst. Their idea of 'fun' is not for the faint hearted and consists of torturing, mayhem, death and every other evil you can imagine. If you don't like that, please don't read.
The events in these stories are not in chronical order. I make them up as I go and some of them might even take place previously from a chapter that has been already posted.
The rating for now is T, but it might go up, depending on the events that might occur in new chapters.
This first drabble takes place previously of the event that the manga described in the flashback in the Red Light district chapter 93. I try to refrain from posting any spoilers if possible, so if you don't recall the event that happened you might want to read up on that on Mangafox for example.
"I'm bored." The sentence ended with a long and exaggerated sigh.
The kitstune exhaled. His eyes followed the smoke that left his mouth. Almost a perfect circle, he mused, before he decided to reply to the demon's words
"You're always bored." Tomoe turned his head slightly as he heard another sigh behind him.
The demon was swaying a human head by its hair back and forth. The index finger of his other hand pushing against the chin in each forward sway to keep the movement going.
"You see," the demon said to the head, "I can't do that. Leisure around like that, doing absolutely nothing."
There was a long silence that was only interrupted by the soft crackle of the fire where the young kitsune was lying in front of. One hand supporting his head while the other was moving the pipe towards his mouth again.
"This one isn't at all talkative."
The kitsune gave a chuckle. "I might be stating the obvious here, but it could be because you chopped off his head."
Akura-ou sighed again. "I can't help it if they die so easily."
Tomoe was startled by the sound of a loud thud. Turning his head to the left he saw the head passing him in a roll close to where he was lying. Its path was stopped when it hit a wall. It bounced back a few inches, tilting back and forth on the spot, before stopping completely.
The fox exhaled sharply, covering the human face with glazing eyes in a mist of smoke.
"If I knew you were going to be such a bore, I would have kept him alive." Akura-ou raised himself from the chair to walk towards the headless corpse lying in the room. The demon squatted down and poked the body. "I wish," he muttered absent mindedly, "that they could regenerate like me. Then I could kill them all over again!" There was an enthusiastic chuckle when the evil king indulged himself that fantasy.
"You will tire of that too, eventually. But, yes, you should at least kept one of them alive. To pour the sake." Placing his pipe down on the floor the kitsune reached out to grab the bottle that appeared to be just out of his reach. When he was about to lean forward the bottle was raised in the air by another hand.
"Come play with me, brother," the evil king cooed as he filled the bowl Tomoe was now holding up. When there was no answer and the fox took a long sip he added: "We could… pay a visit to one of the brothels close by…"
The kitsune was about to take another drink when Akura-ou placed his hand over the bowl. Tomoe looked the demon in the eye. Sharp teeth were visible in a wide grin. The yellow burned almost red in a mischievous sparkle.
"I'm not in the mood," he then replied. "This time of night they already reek of other men. I have no desire to fill my nose with that stench." He gave sharp tug to pull the bowl of sake free from Akura-ou's grip, but nearly choked on the liquid when the demon gave him a hard slap on the back as he rose.
"Then we'll find a nice virgin for you to play with, brother."
Regaining his aloof composure the fox did grin slightly. "In a brothel?"
Both men eyed each other for a moment before they burst in loud laughter.
Tomoe followed the movements of his demon friend as the evil king walked towards one of the other corpses. "You should clean them up, you know. Before their stench ruins this place."
The demon ignored him. Placing his feet on either side of the dead body and kneeling down. Clawed fingers reached out for the long brown hair and twisted the head roughly. A loud snap filled the room as it was forced to turn in a matter that the human spine could not handle.
"Honestly, brother, I don't know what you see in them. I haven't seen a female yet that appealed to me. Hey, you didn't find this one attractive, now did you?" There was the sound of ripping flesh as the evil king stood up. He took the head with him as he approached the sake drinking fox.
"Watch it! It's still dripping." The fox's eyes narrowed in annoyance when Akura-ou knelt down beside him holding the head close. Tomoe scooted back when he noticed the trail of blood that he could trace back to the now headless corpse.
Again he was ignored.
"I'm sorry brother that I've ruined your moment of fun. But I just get so excited when they scream like that, you know. Ah… it is like sweet music to my ears. Those cries, those screams, those pleads. Did you want this one?"
Tomoe pushed the human face aside, carefully to avoid those red drops to stain his kimono. "You are always careless like that. And no, I did not want that one."
Akura-ou turned the human head around so it faced him. "See, even my brother thinks you're ugly." And then he discarded it with one big toss. Throwing it over his shoulder and into the fire. The flames sizzled as it came in contact with the flesh.
"Come with me, brother. Let's find an entertaining game to play. I heard there is a brothel of tanuki nearby that holds the most fine beauties. I'm curious. And if you're not interested you can always watch."
In answer the kitsune turned his back to him. Folding his right arm to use it as a pillow for his head the fox closed his eyes. "Go ahead. I might catch up later."
There was an irritated growl from the demon behind him. One that only made the kitsune grin. Then followed by angry footsteps as Akura-ou walked away.
"Fine be a bad sport. I'll go myself and have a good time."
The fox lifted a hand and gave a quick wave. "Whatever." But the words were hardly audible in the lazy yawn.
"Oh, I found some pot stewing earlier, by the way."
The ears of the kitsune perked up. "Any good?"
"It tasted like crap. But you have this thing for human food, so-" The rest of the words died by the sound of the howling wind and the slam of the door.
The kitsune rolled onto his back and stretched out lazily as he pulled his kimono tighter to his body due to the sudden chill. With his right hand he summoned the foxfire and threw the blue flame into the fire place. Within seconds the room was comfortable warm again. The fire blazing red and blue. In fascination he tilted his head to watch the flames play with the girls head. Circling around her long hair like a comb from hell. His reflection slowly dying in the eyes as they turned black as night in the scorching flames.
A/N: I don't know when I will post new chapters of this, because this is not an actual continuation, but more a collection of drabbles. So when inspired I will update this. I have, though, several drafts on my computer for drabbles like this.
Oh, and the title may change. I'm still not quite sure about this one I have now.
