Hi-yah~! Here's another chapter, sorry for being late, since I tried to write many one-shots again, but I can't do it for one week so I guess it's postponed. But I managed to publish one, so to all "Kuroko No Basket" Fans, check out my new published "Sadistic Kuroko"

Ummm…I'd like to apologize on how I acted last chapter…I'm just sad that time. Don't worry though! I promise I won't do it again!

Ehehehe…..^_^_^_^_

Who are excited to read the new Chapter?

You? Really?

Then if you are excited then skip this!

..

By the way, if you had watched "Durarara!", have you noticed the similarities between Hotsuma and Shizuo Heiwajima?

Like how both of them have destructive powers so people are scared of them

Like how their hairs are both brown at first but dyed in blond as they grew up? (But in different colors!)

And how they speak in a similar way? Or is it just me? Well, That's because they have the same seiyuu! Of course!

Never mind then…._!

By the way (AGAIN?!)

There's a poll in my profile so can you check it out and vote for awhile? Pretty please *puppy eyes*….THANK YOU!

Chapter 7

THE "DEVIL" MEETS THE "LIGHT", SHUSEI AWAKENS

Yuki suddenly stopped running and looked back towards the Mansion from afar. It was burning and the walls are crumbling in some parts "Everyone…." He mumbled Sodom looked at him and whimpered worriedly

After all of them escaped, they have decided to run and hide towards the forest, which is their current location.

The others also stopped noticing Yuki who was looking worriedly towards the burning Mansion. They understand Yuki's feelings, since who would've thought that Hotsuma will get possessed? And to add, Luka and the others are there fighting him.

Toko walked next to Yuki and placed a hand on his shoulders "Toko-chan?" Yuki looked at Toko a little surprised

Toko smiled a little "I know you're worried but, Yuki-chan…we have to trust the others" Toko said looking determined and positive.

Yuki just smiled and nodded "You're right…..i'm sorry"

Sodom rubbed his small cheek on Yuki's cheek, cutely making Yuki chuckle "Thank you Sodom….." Sodom nodded and purred happily

Despite Toko's positive attitude, he can't help to get worried also, knowing that her brother is inside, fighting their comrade "Tsukumo….." Toko mumbled and silently prayed "Please be safe….." she whispered

Yuki knelt next to Shusei who was placed on the ground by Fuyutoki, with his back leaning on the tree's trunk.

"There's still no signs of him waking up" Dr. Isuzu said

Yuki and the others just nodded and looked at Shusei. Takashiro looked towards the Mansion "Maybe it's for the best, because he might do something reckless if he will know that he's partner is possessed"

Tachibana nodded in agreement "Indeed…" he can't say anything else after that, but he only looked towards the Mansion with squinted eyes

Then Fuyutoki walked next to Takashiro "Takashiro-san, If I may ask, what are your plans, when this is over? I mean the Mansion is slightly destroyed so we can't shelter in it for a while" Fuyutoki asked

Takashiro sighed "Good question Fuyutoki…Well, you're right, we can't stay there for a while" He looked back towards everyone "We will stay in Kamakura for the meantime, while I will ask some of the clan members to repair our house"

Everyone nodded silently.

Then Takashiro looked towards Ibuki "Ibuki, for the time being, call someone from the Kamakura residence and ask to send two vans towards here" Ibuki nodded and began dialing on her cellphone

They stayed there for a while looking towards the Mansion. Everytime they will hear and see an explosion, some of them will wince and some of them will whimper like Aya and Sodom.

It was very quiet; all they can hear was the tree's leaves' making noises because of the wind and some of the animals that made sound. But all of them became alerted when they heard footsteps

"Who's there?!" Toko yelled looking towards the direction of the footstep

Everyone became cautious and compressed to each other. Yuki and Toko are already standing in front of them and they already have their weapons ready, Takashiro also joins in while he snapped his fingers and The Key of Solomon appeared on his hand

The footsteps grew even louder and they can see a figure walking towards them. They can't see it clearly since it is dark.

Then the light of the moon lighted the figure and it was Hotsuma full of slashes and wounds, his clothes are torn and he was almost shirtless "W-Whoa! What's with the weapons?!" he asked a he stepped backed a little

"Hotsuma?! Is that you?!" Toko shrieked lowering her weapon

Hotsuma nodded "Yeah, I'm back" he grinned

Everyone breathed in relief and immediately lowered their guard

"Where's Luka and the others Hotsuma?" Takashiro asked

Hotsuma rubbed the back of his head "Well…after Tsukumo separated me from that bastard Diavolo, they told me to come here and let Yuki heal me" he said looking towards Yuki

Toko raised a brow "So meaning, the others are battling Diavolo?" she asked

Hotsuma nodded "Yeah, we need to hurry….Kuroto's very injured and is lying on his own pool of blood"

Everyone's eyes widen followed by gasped of horror

Yuki's eyes widen "H-How is he?" he asked shakily as his heart beat starts beating faster

Hotsuma frowned "Very bad, he was stabbed two times and….was mercilessly tortured with slashes"

Toko gasped cupping her mouth, Aya whimpered and the others were frozen shock. Yuki and Takashiro can feel cold sweat forming on their skin.

Takashiro eyed Hotsuma "There's something wrong…..Why didn't he brought Kuroto here?, maybe something prevented them?...but still"

"I-I see" Yuki said as he walked towards Hotsuma and placed a hand on his chest, his hand glowed.

"If Hotsuma's wounds and slashed will heal…..then one thing is for sure…" Takashiro said in his thought

Toko recovered from her shock and noticed Takashiro looking at Hotsuma almost glaring "Is something wrong?"

Takashiro nodded "Toko, stand next to Yuki" he commanded

Toko blinked, confused "Why Takashiro-sama?"

"Can't you feel it?...something's weird with him. Protect Yuki just in case" Toko nodded and went next to Yuki staying close next to him. Yuki didn't mind or didn't even noticed since he was focusing on healing Hotsuma

"I know this is risky but, we need to know so that I can plan my next move" Takashiro continued to observe Hotsuma

After a while of healing, Hotsuma's slashed and wounds slowly closed until there was none.

Takashiro's eyes widen "Toko!" he yelled

In a blink of an eye, Toko and Hotsuma was already clashing sword in front of Yuki and Sodom transformed into his wolf form guarding in front of Yuki. Yuki gasped as he saw Hotsuma changed back into his possessed appearance with black eyes.

Sodom hissed when he sensed a change of atmosphere on Hotsuma, showing his fangs and growled fiercely

Toko glared at him "Takashiro-sama was right…you're still possessed!" Toko pushed Hotsuma away with all her might

Hotsuma landed a few meters away from Toko and snickered "Hoh?, nice job reacting quickly, I was hoping that I could injure God's Light a little" Hotsuma said as he slowly changed back into Diavolo's appearance

Yuki and Toko's eyes widen in realization "It's Diavolo!" they both exclaimed "I-I thought I finished him?" Yuki said in horror "So you are the one responsible for possessing Hotsuma-kun!"

"We meet again...God's Light" Diavolo said as he looked at Yuki who was still shock

Yuki's eyes widen in realization "If, he is here then…." He gasped in horror "He defeated Luka?!"

"Hahaha! It was easy though, like the other Zweilts" he said mocking Yuki who was clenching his fist and glaring at him

"This is bad, Yuki-chan healed all of his wounds and now his on top shape!" Toko clenched her grip on her sword clearly troubled

Yuki winced as he started to feel pain from healing Diavolo "N-Ngh…." Yuki clutched his chest "I-It hurts….h-how can he e-endure this damages?" he asked himself as he struggled on standing up and swayed a little

Toko quickly caught him in her arms and supported him on standing up "Yuki-chan! Are you okay?!" she asked completely worried

Yuki nodded weakly "Y-Yes, thank you, this will be gone after a while"

He smirked "I have to thank you for healing my slashes and wounds God's Light" he said pointing his sword towards Yuki and Toko "But, I need to finish my mission and that is to kill you!" he lunged towards the two about to attack

Toko quickly clashed her sword with Diavolo and they were engaged in a sword fight with lightning speed, almost impossible to follow

Despite their speed Toko managed to overpower Diavolo and placed a few cuts on his torso, slowing him down. Due to this, Toko used this to her advantage; she quickly slammed the handle of her sword with much force sending Diavolo up in the air

Toko dashed towards Diavolo who was still in the air, letting a battle grunt, she swung her big sword towards Diavolo who guarded himself with his sword but still not enough to stop Toko strength sending him clashing towards trees. The trees fall over him when he landed on the ground

Everyone else was speechless because of Toko's splendid performance leaving their mouths open and words stuck on their throats

"A-Amazing…." Fuyutoki mumbled still staring at Toko who was panting

"I-Indeed, I never knew Toko-chan can battle this seriously" Tachibana said

"She was awesome! This is my first time seeing a fight with Duras'!" Dr. Isuzu said almost jumping because of his excitement "Toko! Finish him quickly so that I can experiment with it!" he shouted not caring that they were in danger.

"SHUT UP!" Toko shrieked

"Whatever! Just—Mmphgk!" Tachibana slapped a hand on his mouth shutting him up and laughed a little "Just forget that he even said that" Everyone just sweat-dropped at that

Takashiro smiled "Good job, that was amazing Toko" he said loud enough for Toko to hear

Toko walked back at them and smiled "Thank you very much!"

Then, Takashiro turned and stopped in front of Shusei. Everybody looked at him questioningly

"Takashiro-sama?" Fuyutoki asked

Takashiro didn't heard him since he was in deep-thinking "Toko might not be able to handle that Duras by herself, I can't risk Yuki battling too but….." he clenched his fist "I need to take that risk too"

"Takashiro-sama…" Aya and Toma eyed Takashiro then to Shusei "I wonder if we can still survive this…." Toma said

Tachibana patted his head "Don't worry, we will. Just trust in them" he mumbled

"What are you going to do Takashiro-sama?" Fuyutoki asked

"Since Shusei, still hasn't have full control over his power since he lacks the memories…I might need to lend him some of mine"

Everybody's eyes widen

"How can you do that?" Tachibana asked

"I have a spell to do that, but I need Shusei to finish it quickly since it will last less an hour"

Dr. Isuzu frowned "That fast?"

Takashiro nodded "Yes….But he's our only hope for now, we don't know what happened to the other especially Kuroto. And if he is strong enough to be on par with Luka…He might be, very strong"

He glanced at Yuki and Toko "Yuki, Toko...can you buy me time?" Takashiro asked looking at Shusei

The two nodded "Yes" was their only reply

Takashiro looked towards Yuki with apologetic expression "I'm sorry that I have to send you for battle"

Yuki shook his head "No, I'm happy because I'll be able to help and…." He clenched his fist looking away "I am very angry because he hurted Luka, Kuroto, Tsukumo-kun and Senshiro-san"

Takashiro smiled and patted Yuki's shoulder before he faced Toko "Toko, make sure you protect Yuki"

Toko nodded "Of course"

Takashiro knelt in front of Sodom and rubbed Sodom's head "Protect Yuki too, in Luka's place" Sodom let out a soft growl and nod his head

Then Yuki and Toko faced forwards and saw Diavolo throwing one tree away from him as he finally got out of the trees that topped over him

"He's back" Yuki mumbled as his Khakkhara materializes on his hands

"Now GO!" Takashiro commanded

"Leave it to us!" Toko and Yuki said as Toko lunged towards Diavolo while Yuki put up his barrier around everyone "Halo Wall!"

Yuki faced the others "We'll be back!" he said before he and Sodom came out of his barrier

"Be careful!" Tachibana yelled worriedly

Fuyutoki set Shusei in front of Takashiro. Then he looked at Takashiro and nodded stepping away

Takashiro looked towards Tachibana "Tachibana, after I transfer some of my memories to Shusei, I will lose my consciousness for half and hour. I'll leave it to you to explain everything to Shusei" he said

Tachibana nodded "I will, just don't exhaust yourself"

"Well then….." The Key Of Solomon floated in front of Takashiro and glowed in a faint red light. The book began flipping its endless pages

I am the keeper of The Key of Solomon

I am the master of thought

I call upon your power to transfer memories from my eternal journey

Let it flow through his mind and free him from his pains

I call upon the Mighty Zweilt Shusei Usui to help me

Shusei began to float and glowed with the same faint red light while Takashiro continued saying an incantation.

"What will happen after this?" Toma asked

Dr. Isuzu can only smile "You will witness something amazing that is…"

Toma blinked still not getting the point but decided to shrugged it off and watched Takashiro


~With Luka, Tsukumo and Senshiro~

"Senshiro-san! Get a hold of yourself!" Tsukumo yanked Senshiro's hand that was bleeding from punching the floor

"NO! I won't! Kuroto is there alone and who knows what that Bastard Diavolo is doing right now!" Senshiro yelled angrily surprising Luka and Tsukumo since this is the first time they saw Senshiro be angered like this

Tsukumo gritted his teeth "Instead of being reckless, help us find a way to get out of here!" he said punching Senshiro

Senshiro landed on the ground clutching his cheek clearly shock and surprised. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist "I-I…understand…..sorry" he stood up but, his eyes were hidden under his bangs showing his current emotion

Tsukumo nodded and began looking around while Luka and Senshiro did the same.

After a while of searching the room, Tsukumo spotted a sword stabbed on the ground near the couch

"Isn't this Hotsuma's Master Stroke?" Tsukumo asked as he noticed Hotsuma's sword on the floor

Luka and Senshiro walked next to him and was surprise also to see Hotsuma's transformed sword

Senshiro looked at it remembering something "Oh yeah, he must've dropped it when I bound him"

"Maybe we can use this to breakthrough the fire" Luka said about to pick it up but when he was about to touch it, fire suddenly formed and almost burnt his hand if he didn't retracted his hand fast

Luka raised a brow "It acted on its own?" he said watching as the fire died down

Tsukumo faked a hand action towards it and fire came out of it again but it was not enough to reach Tsukumo "Weird…" he mumbled

"It must be protected" Senshiro said observing the sword

"No, that's not it" Luka used his sword and slammed it on Hotsuma's sword very hard, instead of a clang, a strange cry erupted from it "See, it has a Duras inside"

Tsukumo and Senshiro's eyes widen "Really? Is that possible?"

Luka nodded "Yeah, but General-Classes like Diavolo can do it, but strange, his ranking is still an Opast"

"Should I release it?" Tsukumo asked raising his gun and pointing it towards the sword

"Yeah, and stay back quickly when it was already released, Duras who possessed a weapon can be strong sometimes" he warned

"Roger that" Tsukumo said "I release you" Knell slowly turned black, after that Tsukumo shot the sword and a small dragon coated with black flames emerged from it.

Tsukumo and Senshiro quickly jumped back as Luka stood on Tsukumo's former place

He glared at it "Tch, begone" he said before he release a blast from his hands shattering it into pieces

Hotsuma's possessed sword glowed and slowly returned to its original shape and color, and to their surprise, the black fire surrounding the entire room died down until it was completely gone

Senshiro was the first one to act "Kuroto!" he cried as he entered another room through the broken wall and passed through two more rooms

"Kuroto!" Then Senshiro arrived on the third room when he stopped, his face quickly turned horrified as he saw Kuroto laying down on the floor on his own blood, his clothes are torn and his body was full of slashes and there was two stab wounds on his stomach part

"KUROTOOOO!" Senshiro held Kuroto on his arms while water started to form on his eyes as he held Kuroko even more not caring that his clothes were getting stained with blood

Tsukumo and Luka arrived quickly and had the same horrified expression after seeing Kuroto's body

Tsukumo winced while Luka looked away gritting his teeth

"Kuroto….." Tsukumo mumbled sadly

Senshiro cried silently his tears falling down on Kuroto's face "K-Ku…ro…to" his voice cracked as he cried "D-Don't leave me!" he yelled

Tsukumo and Luka can only watch silently wearing sad faces. Tsukumo used his ears to know if Kuroto's still breathing but to his relief, Kuroto was. Tsukumo walked next to Senshiro

Tsukumo patted Senshiro's shoulder "Senshiro-san"

Senshiro lifted his head looking at Tsukumo

Tsukumo smiled "Don't worry, Kuroto's not dead, his still breathing" he assured

Even though Senshiro was still crying, his face slightly showed relief as he hugged Kuroto "Don't you dare give up Kuroto…." He mumbled

Tsukumo straightens his body but suddenly, his eyes widen as he gasped and shot his head towards Luka

"What's the matter?!" Luka asked quickly alarmed

"Yuki, Toko-chan and Sodom are currently battling Diavolo!"

Luka's eyes widen "Tch!" he bit his lip, blood seeping out from it. He raised his hand and blasted the wall and instantly he can see the outside, he jumped out from it and run in a very fast speed

Tsukumo was about to follow but he noticed that Senshiro isn't moving. Tsukumo looked at Senshiro "Senshiro-san?"

Senshiro was shaking in anger as he glared at no one "I'll make that Diavolo pay…." He mumbled

Tsukumo think for a while and nodded to himself, he need to let Senshiro follow Luka to get his revenge, since he can tend on Kuroto's wounds for the meantime.

"Follow Luka, Senshiro-san, I'll take Kuroto to Dr. Isuzu's Clinic room and see what I can do"

Senshiro looked at Tsukumo surprised "Are you sure?" Tsukumo nodded

Senshiro hesitated and looked at Kuroto and nodded "Got it…just take care of him"

"Yeah…you protect Yuki-chan too"

"Of course" Senshiro quickly picked up his Scythe and jumped out

Tsukumo stared at Senshiro's retreating back "Yuki…..Toko-chan, hang in there" he mumbled before he scooped Kuroto and walked out of the room using the door.


~With Yuki, Toko and Sodom~

Toko swung her sword and tried to slash Diavolo, but Diavolo used his sword to defend "I noticed that you three are not holding back…..do you not care if you hurt this boy?" he asked

Toko glared at him "That's because our goal is to defeat you, we will have that Baka-Hotsuma healed later by Yuki-chan" Toko yelled pushing Diavolo away

Sodom growled and blasted a huge amount of fire from his mouth, Diavolo's eyes swiden for a minute "The wolf can use fire?" he smirked as he extended hi arm and release a purple blast countering Sodom's fire

Diavolo landed on the ground "Guardian's of Light, Burn in th—"

"Adoramus!" Yuki yelled as a magic circle appear beneath Diavolo and a blast of towering light came out of the magic-circle damaging Diavolo and sending him up in the air

"Now!" Yuki yelled as Toko and Sodom nodded

Sodom howled and fired another blast of fire from his mouth, this time even larger.

"Sonic Espada!" Toko yelled as she swung her blade in an impossible speed, sending many pink arc waves towards Diavolo

Diavolo smirked "Demoni Distruttiva!" he yelled as a black energy emitted from his body and surrounded him in a black energy ball deflecting Toko and Sodom's attack, but the black ball exploded and released several black energy bullets

Yuki and Toko gasped

Yuki quickly acted "Forza Sacra!" he cried and slammed his Khakkhara on the ground sending several rays of light clashing with Diavolo's attack, creating small particles in the air.

"Hooh? You're not bad yourself God's Light" Diavolo said standing in the air looking at Yuki wearing an eager smile

Yuki just glared at him "That's because I made a promise that I will get stronger and protect them!"

"Hoh?~ well, then I'll take you on first" Diavolo quickly appeared in front of Yuki, catching Yuki off guard. Diavolo swung his sword and was about to slash Yuki, but Yuki used his Khakkhara to defend.

Yuki winced as Diavolo pushed his way even more, with the sword very close to his face. Diavolo's strength was too much for Yuki to handle, with his body giving up and the reason Diavolo had pushed him towards the ground

"Uwaaagh!"

Diavolo pointed his sword towards Yuki "Don't tell me that's all you got?"

Yuki clenched on the grass and was about to pick his Khakkhara but, Diavolo quickly kicked it away sending it away from Yuki, leaving Yuki wide-eyed

"Haha…I guess…..this is goodbye God's Light!" Yuki can only close his eyes while gritting his teeth

Diavolo lifted his sword was about to slash Yuki but, Sodom suddenly appeared and slammed his body very hard on Diavolo sending away "Sodom!" Yuki cried happily

Sodom nuzzled his head on Yuki's face as Yuki stood up "Thank you very much Sodom…" He smiled patting Sodom

"Not yet!" Diavolo managed to regain his balance and lunged towards the two

"Yuki-chan!" Toko somersaulted and quickly stepped on Diavolo's back slamming him down on the grassy floor and jumped back dodging Diavolo's incoming slash

Diavolo glared at Toko "Tch, Go DIE!" he released a very powerful blast from his hands quickly charging towards Toko

Toko stared at it wide-eyed and was unable to move as she was very stunned

"Toko-chan! Watch out!" Yuki cried as Sodom barked trying to snap Toko out

Toko blinked "Huh?" she finally snapped back but it was too late and the blast was almost reaching her. Toko's face horrified and tried to cover herself with her arms

But as Diavolo hit Toko, it was suddenly split into two and passed through Toko's side leaving her unharmed "W-What?" she blinked

Diavolo gaped "H-How?!" he glared

Yuki gasped "The blast was split?"

Toko looked around and tried to find who helped her only to find Shusei, who was standing in front of everyone else outside Yuki's barrier with his other arm extended and wearing a fierce look on his eyes

"Shusei?!/Shusei-kun?!"

Shusei's soften his gaze "Sorry for making you wait" he smiled

Shusei looked behind on Takashiro who was collapsed on the floor with Fuyutoki holding him he nodded to Shusei "It's all up to you now" he said before he became unconscious

Shusei nodded "Yes…." He mumbled as he face forwards

Diavolo straightens his body and looked at Shusei with a mocking face "So you're awake?...Shusei Usui"

Shusei closed his eyes and breathed in and out

"Leave Hotsuma's body alone" Shusei said as his eyes glowed

Yuki and Toko's eyes widen "H-His eyes…he is already…awakened?" Toko mumbled

Diavolo scoffed "Sorry, but I already adjusted to this body so I guess it's already mine" He snickered

Shusei raised a brow "Let's see about that" he extended both his hands "Let's destroy the Evil, Crime & Punishment!" his ring glowed in a turquoise light and his sword appeared on his hands

He glanced at Yuki and Toko who are staring at him in awe "Yuki, Toko, stay back and protect the others for now"

Toko nodded "Got it!"

"Be careful" Yuki said before they went towards the others

Diavolo and Shusei quickly lunged towards each other, with Diavolo wearing a very eager look on his face while Shusei's face was blank

Their weapons clashed with each other and they're engaged with a lightning speed swordfight, like how Diavolo fought with Toko. But Diavolo was gaining some slashed because Shusei has two sword and more faster than him

Diavolo aimed for a punch but Shusei dodged it and tried to punch him as well, but Diavolo caught his hand stopping his blow.

Shusei grunted and suddenly, Diavolo was pushed back, because a strange force pushed him away.

Diavolo jumped away dodging Shusei incoming stab and landed on the ground, his purple sword fading away.

He quickly extended his hand in opposite directions "Saltare Diabolus!" he yelled as huge purple fires came out spiraling its way towards Shusei

"It's useless" Shusei extended his hand forwards, the incoming spiraling flames were stopped and bent backwards and on its way towards Diavolo again

"WHAT?!" It all happened very fast and his on attack blasted him creating an explosion

Shusei's hands glowed in a turquoise light. Shusei swung his hand, and a huge turquoise light ball covered the explosion, trapping all of them inside, not letting any smoke out

After the smoke died down, Shusei shut his hand close and his light ball disappeared, letting Diavolo out who sustained many damaged on his black coat.

Diavolo glared at Shusei "You seem to show no mercy…considering this body is your partner's" he said

Shusei's eyes squinted "All I can see is a Duras bastard"

"A Duras bastard I see….." He smirked and his body suddenly turned black and phased down on the ground

Shusei doesn't even flinch, upon seeing Diavolo's special power "Switch" he mumbled as his Crime & Punishment swords quickly glowed and formed into his turquoise orbs "It's still pointless" he closed his eyes

And when opened them, he was already inside his caged with Diavolo's sword struck on the metal bars that doesn't even show any damages.

Diavolo's eyes quickly widen and slammed his sword again but the caged still stood still with Shusei inside it

"Damn it!" he gritted his teeth and jumped back "Let's see, how long you can hide inside that shield of your" he stretched his hands forwards and started firing several large energy blast from his hands, which successfully hit Shusei's cage.

The first attack created smoke hiding Shusei's cage, Diavolo continued firing until he's satisfied. He stopped and lowered his hands, panting since he used up large amount of his magical power and he's nearly exhausted. Right now, he's starting to regret on possessing the Zweilt since he had to face many of them

The smoke died down and his eyes widen in horror, because Shusei was inside his cage and inside a pentagon shield completely shielded from Diavolo's ambush of blasts

Diavolo clenched his teeth "This is bad….i'm almost out of power, I can't always rely on my power neither this Zweilt's, since all he can do is launch fires and scream some commands…..I can't look weak in front of them especially now!...Nevermind, I guess I'll go with that option…" he said in his thoughts

"You don't seem to held back when attacking me…how about you fight your own partner" He said as his body started to fade into Hotsuma again

Shusei quickly glared at him and extended his hand forwards.

Diavolo who was about to transform back into Hotsuma was stopped and he can't move his own body "What is this?! I can't move my body!" He looked at Shusei who dispels his cage and shield, glaring menacingly towards him

"Don't you dare use his body" He growled with pure venom

Shusei raised his hand a little, with Diavolo also lifted a little from the ground, his feet leaving the grassy floor and left floating in the air

Then Shusei walked closely and stopped in front of Diavolo then smiled a little

"Hotsuma! I know you're still there you idiot! How can you let yourself be possessed because of me? You're such an idiot! If you don't come back…." Shusei lowered his head "You will become very injured and you hate that right? So…..WAKE UP HOTSUMA!" Shusei screamed out with all of he got


~With Hotsuma~

Hotsuma looked around, he was standing in complete oblivion and all he can see was black and vines are wrapped on his arms, legs and torso limiting his attempt of moves

"W-Where….am I…" he asked weakly

Then he gasped and looked around "Last time I remember, a voice spoke to me and my head hurts like hell!" he growled

"HEY! IS ANYBODY HERE?!" he screamed out calling for somebody

Suddenly a light shone in front of him

"Huh?...What's this?"

The light suddenly show Kuroto's bloody and full of slashes body laying on the pool of his own blood

Hotsuma's eyes widen in horror "K-Kuro….to?...W-Why is he lying over there?!" he asked

The image of Kuroto disappeared and replaced with Yuki's struggling face on the ground

"Yuki? YUKI! CAN YOU HEAR ME?!" he called but Yuki's face disappeared on the light

Then, Shusei's smiling face appeared on the light

Hotsuma's eyes widen "S-Shusei….."

"Hotsuma! I know you're still there you idiot! How can you let yourself be possessed because of me?"

"I-I…..don't know" he admitted

"You're such an idiot!"

"WHAT?!"

"If you don't come back…." Shusei lowered his head

"Shusei…."

"You will become very injured and you hate that right?"

"Y-Yeah…"

"So…..WAKE UP HOTSUMA!" Shusei yelled as, his view of Shusei suddenly changes and he was now far away and looking up at Hotsuma, his face crying

Hotsuma lowered his head "S-Shusei….is crying?"

Hotsuma felt his heart clenching as he saw Shusei crying. It doesn't suit him and he already had cried many times from some problems especially his scars. Shusei is too kind for him to deserve those tears

"I promised not to make him cry….I promised to protect him….but I failed?...huh?..."

What should he do?...If he will fight once again, will everybody forgive him?...Just save it for later and…

Then Hotsuma lifted his head and looked at Shusei "Thanks Shusei…you and everyone always got my back and pulled me back into my sense like now and back then…"

Then the vines surrounding his body, arms and legs slowly unwrapped from him and started burning "That's why…." He mumbled

Hotsuma's body suddenly were surrounded with fire as determination filled his face

"I will...I-I...I WILL PROTECT SHUSEI! GET OUT OF MY BODY!" he yelled as fire came bursting out of his body and burned everything

"GUUUURAAAAAAH!"


~.~

After Shusei yelled, Diavolo started to twitch and yell in agony

"AAAAAGH!, H-He's fighting!" He struggled as he clenched his fist and gritted his teeth

"H-Hotsuma…" Shusei's eyes widen

Shusei loosen his restraint on Diavolo and let him fell on the ground. Diavolo started grunting and clutching in pain

"N-No! G-ngh!...D-DON'T!...AAH!...T-Tch….AAAAAAAAARRRHGH! "

Diavolo started to shift back to Hotsuma and to Diavolo again 'G-GAAAAH!" it kept repeating until an explosion happened

Shusei uses his telekinesis to split the smokes leaving him untouched. The smoke died down after a while.

Suddenly, he was embraced by strong arms; he can feel the heat running on his body and he suddenly felt safe and calm as he saw that familiar messy blond hair and tan skin.

Shusei smiled and leaned in closer to the body "Welcome back…Hotsuma" he said as he looked up and saw Hotsuma smiling warmly towards him

"Yeah…I'm back…sorry for making you cry" He mumbled as he hugged Shusei once again, and even tighter this time

"You idiot….I just slept for a while and when I woke up I see you possessed?...I really hate you"

Hotsuma grinned "Yeah, I'm very sorry…..Shusei…"

They stayed like that for awhile, enjoying each other's heat, and they can't help but to miss each other very much. To Hotsuma, seeing Shusei for almost half a day seemed like thousand years to him

And now, their finally reunited again and ready to fight. It may seem weird for the others, but to them, it means a lot…
