What if Yuya got so angry that she revealed something hidden within her? she proves to be more than meets the eye.

Kyo, Yuya, and the others were traveling through a cave. Inside was pitch black, but luckily Yuya had brought along some candles. Her kimono was becoming raggedy and the cave being soggy didn't help at all. She definitely wanted a dip in a hot spring once they managed to exit this damned cave. They already had fought enough bandits for today.

Benitora was gawking at Yuya's butt, and she resisted the urge to deck him.

Yukimura had a content look about his face while Sasuke, just the opposite. He was incredibly annoyed that Tora had the nerve to gaze at his sister like that.

Kyo just continued walking, and having a blank expression. His companions were disruptive but he somehow learned to tolerate them.

"Yuya my darling, have I told you lately how stunning you look? will you at least consider settling down with me?" Tora said breaking the silence.

"And why pray tell, would you want to 'settle down' with a useless dogface like her?" Kyo answered, along with a fierce glare.

The whole group stopped short as Kyo stood still the very moment he replied to Tora's little escapade. Yuya was shaking ferociously and clawed into her palms because of the statement Kyo displayed only seconds ago. 'What! how the heck am I useless if I tend to him everyday?! this is the thanks I get?!'

Kyo turned to face Yuya and glared more. "What the hell is your problem woman? don't give me that pathetic look, it makes you seem even more of a dog. If it weren't for me, you would have perished long ago. So as I said before, you are helpless without me around."

"Tell me just how useless I am if I helped bandage you up after battles!! and not to mention I always brought you your fucking sake! I swear Kyo... if you don't stop this ridiculous insulting I will quit accompanying you!" Yuya shouted with venom.

Benitora and everyone except Kyo just watched with concern and shock, they had never seen Yuya look so deadly before.

"Hn. I could care less if you tagged along woman." He added.

Yuya was utterly shocked and extremely furious at the same time. Kyo had never replied such things to her, even if he did say some mean things to her sometimes.

"Umm Kyo isn't that a little too extreme? Yuya does take care of you." Tora said.

Yuya was about to show Kyo exactly how much she was mad, until a sound was heard not far from them in the tunnel. The noise sounded like paper rustling or similar to how a scorpion crawls. They all readied their weapons in case of a surprise attack.

Only two minutes passed when monstrous kenyo appeared, surrounding them completely. Benitora motioned for Yuya to get behind him. "I'll protect you Yuya, stay behind me." It was pretty ironic that all the kenyo resembled huge scorpions on two legs. The leader of the kenyo, or so they assumed, stepped forward and threatened to pick their bones clean if they dared pass.

"You will not escape here alive pathetic humans" the kenyo all chorused.

Kyo sneered. He stepped forward as well and easily cut down the nearest kenyo to him. The rest of the group charged and defeated them all except for the leader. But they went to the assumption that they could win all too soon... since Yukimura aimed to slit the leader in half, but it only dodged with ease.

Kyo stood his ground for the final attack while Sasuke and Benitora glided through the air to hit the kenyo on the head. Once again though, no luck. The kenyo unleashed its own deadly technique on Yukimura, Benitora and Sasuke and all three fell out of the way. It next attacked Kyo but he was skilled enough to block. Yuya noticed that Kyo didn't seem too confident in this battle, as the kenyo was very tough indeed. It kept on moving out of Tenryo's reach and knocked Kyo off his feet a few times.

"What is your name, filth?" Kyo asked angrily. He was reaching his limit of patience.

"Oh if you must know, the name's Scorpius." the kenyo said proudly.

Kyo wanted to finish this swiftly. So, taking his sword up in his hand and running two fingers across it, he tried the mizuchi on the cold beast. He managed to sink a deep gash in Scorpius' gut, but it still wasn't good enough to kill him. While Kyo was thinking of a solution to destroy the trash, Scorpius reached out and grabbed Yuya. Out of Scorpius' arm came out a saber-like weapon, intending on slaughtering her if Kyo insisted on continuing.

Kyo glared at Scorpius. He was definitely not prepared to lose what belonged to him now. He quickly lunged for the kenyo, slicing its arm off Yuya.

She landed safely but when she took the opportunity to glance up, she was stunned at what she saw.

"KYO!!" she shouted with sadness. It turned out that Scorpius somehow pierced close to Kyo's heart, if not right through it... the dreaded kenyo only broke out into a maniacal laughter.

Yuya sprinted to Kyo, hoping of course that he would be alright. She held him close to her and sobbed his name. "Kyo" Yuya's face was covered in thick tears. He looked to her and choked out "Dogface... I-I'm s-sorry..." he mustered up some strength for his next words. "I never meant to say those things to you earlier, I just... didn't want you to leave me with Benitora. The truth is, not long from the day I met you, I have always l-loved y-youu" Kyo's voice broke as he passed out right after that.

Yuya was in the most shocked state she could ever be in. She only cried more. "Kyo, I love you too" she mumbled with such sadness. She hollered his name "KYYYOOOOO!!"

Scorpius continued his psychotic laughter, not noticing the state Yuya was in right then. Her eyes were almost bulging out of her eye sockets because of her uncontrolled rage. She was glaring at the tyrant kenyo for all she was worth. "I'm gonna make you pay! you maggot!! I'll send you to the deepest pits of HELL!!" she shouted this so loud that Yukimura and everyone sat up from their positions, except Kyo only opened his eyes. Something no one expected happened, it left them terrified.

Scorpius stopped his laughter only to hold a very shocked expression, as well as his mouth agape. Yuya was changing into something... something evil or demonic. The cave began to shake violently everywhere, and Yuya's eyes turned to a familiar crimson color. Except for when her eyes were this color, they were even darker than Kyo's were! and not only that, but her pupil structure evolved from circular to being similar to a cats. Her long golden hair turned to a short lavender shade.

"No! that's impossible!!" Scorpius exclaimed while shaking with fear.

"Yuya-san! her eyes! they..." Tora said in horror.

Yukimura was staring wide-eyed at the power the young bounty huntress was displaying right that moment. "What is that? is that really Yuya?"

Sasuke was thinking exactly the same thing as Yukimura, while showing signs of concern for Yuya at the same time.

Scorpius tried his special technique on Yuya, inflicting severe wounds all around her body. Her shoulder was torn open and her wrist was nearly falling off. The whole group besides Scorpius was in total shock as Yuya's body fell straight to the ground. Scorpius just smirked evilly in victory.

"YUYA!!" they all screamed including Kyo this time. They all thought that Yuya was dead until...

Suddenly, Yuya's evil sneer could be heard all around them as her body was being surrounded by some type of energy. It was repairing all of her wounds as if they were never there, and was lifting Yuya to her feet, as if it had a mind of its own.

"W-what?!" Scorpius stared in shock.

'What is this?' Kyo thought. 'Her wounds...they're all vanishing! what is she?'

Yuya's face leaned up to Scorpius, a demonic look in her eyes. She had even grown fangs to fit her crimson eyes. "SCORPIUS" she announced loudly. "You're not going anywhere!! I'm gonna send you to a place where all you will know is pain!"

All the swordsmen on the sidelines could only watch in awe and somewhat fear, they could only imagine of what could happen next.

Uh oh, looks like Yuya can turn into a mysterious and not to mention powerful creature. What will happen? will Kyo and the others accept the truth about Yuya? find out in the next chapter. By the way, Kyo is in his totally sexy long red haired body if any of you wanted to know. He also defeated Kyoshiro when Yuya witnessed the whole thing, otherwise Yuya would have probably showed Kyoshiro who's boss lol xD

Kyo: You're damn right I defeated Kyoshiro, what a bastard...

ThunderxShadow: -smiles- Aww you are so cute when you talk tough like that.

Kyo: Who doesn't think I'm sexy? even a dogface can fall for me -smirks evilly-
