Welcome to chapter 3 of the darkness within I own nothing! Except for ocs' (note: I am using Cody Costilla because he is awesome!)
Maruko pov
Great. Just great. I get back Naruto yells at me and Sasuke's gone missing. Now what? I have no way of tracking him and his girlfriend Karake doesn't know anything of his whereabouts. I've been searching three days now and haven't got a clue where he is. Damn it.
"Maruko you have anything on Sasuke yet?". it was Rusuko.
"no" I said in defeat.
"well I've finally found a lead even though we'll have some trouble along the way." he said. I knew I could count on Rusuko when I'm in trouble.
"so, where to?" I asked. Man I hope we don't have to go to Darkovia again, last time we went there I was bitten by a werepyre (a cross of a lycan and vampire) and it left me bed ridden for days. If it hadn't been for the shadow slayers organizations cures, I would probably be a werepyre by now.
"Darkovia forest, Z knows something about Sasuke's whereabouts." he said. FUCK, I knew it. Z always knows where people are, where to look, where to go and get yourself killed. Why couldn't we go somewhere like the citadel? At least the people there hate magic and never use it, making them especially weak. But of course my luck always fails me when I need it most.
"ok lets go" I said trying to hide the fear in my voice. A werepyre bite not only injures the flesh but it injures the soul to, making the victim able to understand werepyres and have an urge to run with them.
Rusuko pov
Why is Maruko so scared of darkovia? He killed off Wolfwing, the chaotic werepyre himself, so why should he be afraid of darkovia? Its not the vampires because he nearly killed Safira and now she has her territory under lock and key. And he was good friends with the lycans. And the werepyre population has been thinned greatly thanks to the shadow slayers and the lycans hard efforts even though many of them have burns from using silver, their only offensive metal that hurts werepyres and vampires. I'll ask him later when were in darkovia.
TIME SKIP! They make it to darkovia alright and are now arguing with the vampire at the gate. Runicho has his hex blade drawn ready for a fight.
Runicho pov
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CANT LET US THROUGH THE GATE?" Rusuko shouted at the vampire standing guard at the gate to the forest.
"sorry but I van't vlet vou pass under queen Safira orders." the vampire said calmly.
"FUCK YOUR QUEEN, I'LL KILL YOU BOTH UNLESS YOU LET ME THROUGH THE GATE!" Rusuko raged.
"Rusuko let me handle this" Maruko said with a tint of fear in his voice. Why was he so scared of darkovia? He helped Artix defeat the undead here so he has no reason to be afraid.
"you- _
The next few lines are censored. Even though this is rated T, what happens is far to inappropriate, even though it isn't rated M.
"vou filshy humvan I'll kill vou and give vou to Safira as an offering. The vampire said in rage.
"bring it bucktooth" Maruko said angrily, the fear in his voice gone, were the vampires the reason he feared darkovia? Maybe but I'll still ask him later just to make sure.
Maruko pov
Man, I don't care if there are werepyres here I'll kill them all along with this vampire. I drew my legendary sword of dragon control and held it to his neck. He didn't look the least bit nervous. I quickly noted that he had a silver knife, uh oh, he knows lycans are burned by silver and since I'm half lycan… no, I cant let him touch me with that knife I'll be as good as dead if he strikes me. I did a back flip to get away from him, good I was a decent distance away from him so that means I could use Drakaths' blade if he came to close.
"snivelving humvan all vour kind can do ivs vrun. Then he through his knife at me, big mistake. It struck me. "AAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!" I screamed in agony, however I have the advantage, being half lycan, when I touch silver it burns me but for the next 48 hours I become immortal, even though they say lycans can be killed, when the lycan eye moon shows, all dead lycans and half lycans are revived and all living lycans and half lycans are unhurtable. Immortal as one could put it, and tonight was 1 of 13 days of the lycan eye moon, so I was now immortal.
"foolish vampire, Don't you know my father is Constantine himself?" I said with a hint of anger. Yes Constantine was my father. Now don't ask me why anyone would want to fuck a werewolf because my mother didn't, just because Constantine was a werewolf in darkovia it didn't mean he was a werewolf elsewhere. I drew Drakaths sword. This would be the first time I use it in an actual fight. Those times with Gaara didn't count. Just to be safe I drew the supreme arcane sword and channeled my magic into it and fired from a distance. A searing pain shot through my body, no, not yet, the last thing I need is to transform into my lycan form. It would give the bloodsucker a serious advantage. He threw several silver knives at me. Three hit and they burned like the fire of a thousand suns. Damn it. I was helpless now, the pain was to great. I couldn't move. Damn I was at the vampires mercy and Rusuko and Runicho couldn't help because they looked into the pale freaks eyes and were paralyzed. He approached slowly with a smirk on his face. I used a desperate move, using chakra mixed with mana is the stupidest thing a man can do but it was my only chance. An arcane shot that the most skilled sorcerers power couldn't even begin to compare with. A mana rasengan. Even though that jutsu was Narutos' I can copy it and use it. I made the rasengan with my chakra and mana with the little strength I could muster. I stood up in agony. The pain was intense but I managed to keep up till he got close enough to me. Another advantage over vampires, they always underestimate humans.
I threw a kunai bomb at him to catch him off guard, success, now I use my special hand invented jutsu shadow spirit jutsu. the effect it has is that it draws the dark energies out of them and it turns into a clone that is a lot harder to kill than.. say a shadow clone or water clone for example. In other words it's a human clone.
But it has a catch, the user cant kill it without dying himself. but luckily there is a way to dispel these sort of clones using another jutsu I invented.
Time skip! the jutsu he invents seals the clone in a belonging. so he seals it in a rock he picked up.
(resumes after they kill the vamp and are talking to shadow slayer Y.)
Rusuko pov.
"What do you mean that Z isn't here?" Maruko asked with a small bit of anger in his voice.
"Z has gone off on a mission to kill rouge lycans, she left a note for you three stating that Sasuke has gone off in search of Gaara.
"why would he want to do that?" I asked, confused. Sasuke wanted to tear Gaara limb from limb.
"Z the note also said that Sasuke had fought Gaara earlier and was seriously injured and that Gaaras' voice was different then it usually was." Y said. "you can ask E where they've gone."
"ok thanks" Runicho said. Then we rushed to E, on the way there though we found a trail of blood. I stopped and sniffed it, due to my being half lycan I could tell who's blood it was. It was Gaaras' He had come this way, I sniffed at the air, I had a mental picture in my mind where he was. He was bleeding. Badly. There were several cuts on his front and his gourd was broken. Whoa. It takes a lot of power to break that gourd of his. He was standing in the middle of a dark room with the two we had fought in Shadowfall.
"guys, I know where Gaara is." I said.
" where is he then?" Rusuko asked.
"he's with those two jerks who tried to kill us the other day and he's speaking with them about gaining an unimaginable power, and he's about to resurrect people with orichimarus dead body the coffin rose up from the ground. The lid fell off and there stood the body of- no. it can't be him. he saved lore from the reversed Artix. He was destroyed.
