To Onkgopotse410: Now I'm creeped out (just a joke). You wrote about Soma and Galamoth, the title kind of makes me think that it is supposed to be a rivality between them but if it's not like that it's okay, too. Please do so, that would be extremly amazing! If you do, I will wait for it! I thought of a fanfic with Galamoth for a while but not with rivality, more a fight because... (well no spoilers here) but as I said no rivality. I won't steal that idea or another you have then I hope, I will try not to, don't worry about that, I will stick to my original plan. My 'Dark Foreboding' storys are kind of a prolouge to that but Galamoth will only be one of many fights.

Back to your suggestion: are you a game producer/ manufacturer (sorry if that is the wrong word)? Or do you mean as in writing that? (Then again, you problably wouldn't write 'create a new game' if that was the case) Or something else? (You do not need to answer any of this if you do not want to).

Each and everything is amazing, I would find creating a game hard and writing isn't that easy either, as is the rest that could be done. Everyone should be respected for every kind of work. But hey: people who work hard will leave marks to remember, no matter what job or hobby it is.

I'm writing too much, let's get to the story:


Two Lords: Skeleton Prank

„Is everyone ready?!" Kiyotsugu asks rather loud. They all groan „Yes, we are" Soma tells him and Kiyotsugu urges them forward. They stop before an old house that seems like it might fall apart the next moment. „Don't tell me your client lives here" Rikuo stares at the house with a large sweatdrop on his head. „Of course not, Nura- kun! This is where the Yokai resides! Let's go in and find it!" Kiyotsugu takes the lead.

Crack!

Soma flinches and whirls around, he is sure he heard something. Behind him is nothing.

Crack!

Again! Soma closes his eyes and focuses, he hears another crack behind the wall. Bringing foth his Ukoback soul (Flame Mine), he lets flames appear in the air around the students to protect them. Rikuo gets past them before they are fully summoned and stands beside Soma. „Come out! I know you are there!" Soma shouts at the wall. Cracks appear and the wall bursts open. It gives view to a green Demon in gray rags. „Damn!" Soma swears „A headhunter!". „Headhunter?" Rikuo repeats his words. „Yeah, they are nasty demons that steal the heads of their victims" Soma explains.

The Demon goes onto his four feet and runs up to them, it tries to attack Rikuo with its tongue but Soma pulls him out of the way „Watch out!" Rikuo attacks the Demon with his sword so that it loses his head. A new head comes to it and takes the former ones place. „What?!" Rikuo asks in disbelieve. „That's normal. I would say it has this head plus two more left" Soma comments and lets a black ball apear in his hands, it connects with the Demons body and its head blows off „My mistake. It has only two left" Soma shrugs it off like it's perfectly normal.

Soma mutters something under his breath that Rikuo can't make out and the Demon blows up once more. Still regenerating, the demon charges at Rikuo. Rikuo holds out his sword and waits for it to come into range. As it is near enough, Rikuo jumps to the side and slices clean through the Demon.

Soma lets the effects of Flame Mine disappear and the rest looks rather confused. „What happened?" Kana voices out their question. „A Demon appeared, but we took care of it. Right, Soma? ...Soma?" Rikuo tells them/ asks Soma. Soma flinches and looks at him „Y- yeah... I was just lost in thought shortly" Soma turns in Kiyotsugus direction „I think the Demon we are supposed to get rid off, was this one. Let's go back"

Rikuo stares at the huge Sakura Tree /There is something weird about Soma.../

„And she is still sick?" Soma asks Mina's father over the phone. „Yes, she is. And you? Are you alright?" he wonders. „Yes, I am. Please greet Mina for me!" Soma answeres cheerful. „Will do. Good night, Soma" „Good night" Soma hangs up the phone and goes into bed /What was that feeling back then...? That Demon... it had traces of Mina's presence on it./ Soma shakes his head /Silly me! Mina was never in that area, It was imagination!/ He lies onto his bed and falls asleep „Mina..."

Early in the morning, Soma sits up, yawns and opens his eyes. He turns his head to the side „Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" He shrieks with horror, his face only mere inches away from Death's. He jerks back, out of his bed and summons his sword Osafune. He points Osafune at Death „What in all the Hells are you doing here?!" Soma shouts but Death doesn't budge. Laugher erupts from Death and Soma realises that it's a costum. He lifts up the cloth and sees the Squad bending over in laugher. A tick mark grows on Soma's head. „Your reaction was awesome, Soma!" Shima tells him, another tick mark grows. „You shriek like a girl!" Kiyotsugu taunts. Third tick mark /Enough!/ Soma decides and hits each one on the head, aside from Yura and Rikuo who were never there to begin with. „That hurt..." Maki complains.

On their way to Rikuo's mansion, they all argue about the earlier joke, even when they arrive. Soma sighs and forcefully stops the conversation. Rikuo comes and lets them in, he stops Soma while the rest continues forward. „What is it?" Soma looks at Rikuo. „One of my clans allies recently captured one from Black Disaster. They will bring him here tomorrow. You can come if you want" Soma nods in agreement and the two follow the kids.

„...then he shrieked like a girl!" Kiyotsugu laughs until he feels pain on his head „I. Didn't. Shriek. Like. A. Girl!" Soma glares at him. „Why were you surprised anyway? You had a Skeleton hovering behind you not long ago" Rikuo asks him quiet as Soma sits back down „Because I just woke up. I was still a bit sleepy and didn't see that it was them right away. I thought that stupid pile of bones was pestering me again" Soma sighs. „But where did that sword suddenly come from?" Shima wonders. Soma looks at him and holds out his palm, Osafune appears in it „So" he states. „A sword appeared in his palm" Natsumi points out the obvious. „Where did that come from, Cruz- kun?!" Kiyotsugu questions him. Soma lets the sword disappear and raises an eyebrow „Why would I tell you?"

Mina wakes up to find herself in a pitch black room. She looks around but she sees not even a illusion of light. A candle lights beside her and illuminates the room slightly. There are no doors, only the bed she's in, a platter of food and a bottle to drink.

The next day, Soma goes to Rikuo. At the gate, he's greeted by Kubinashi, he leads Soma to Rikuo. With Rikuo is a man dressed in gray with gray, he seems to be asleep. Soma sweatdrops „Did he attack your allies?" „? They say that this man was talking to the general that killed herself. They saw them three days before the incident at school" Rikuo nods to a group of Demons. Soma sweatdrops again „That you found him is good, I was searching for him... but he isn't from Black Disaster, he's a spy that infiltrated them under, well, 'my' orders..." „He's one of your friends?" Rikuo wonders and Soma shakes his head „We aren't exactly friends but rather acquaintances. He stands under my command since at least 4 months..."

„You command Yokai around?" Rikuo raises his left eyebrow. Soma sighs „Kind of... This man here is different from them though, he could refuse any order I give him" They drop it at that and Rikuo wants to wait for the man to wake up „Then you can wait long" Soma comments „He always sleeps for a long period of time, around two or four days at minimum" „Who is he anyway?" Rikuo asks Soma. A long pause stretches between them „He's... Chaos" Soma breathes out fast but Rikuo catched it neverless „Chaos? Do you mean as in he brings it?"

„No. 'Chaos' is his name and what he 'is'. Actually, he didn't have a human form but I made it possible for him" „Did you make him look like an aristocrat on purpose?" „No! I had no say in what he would look like, I would never want to! The whole thing that he now serves me is all because of an accident from 4 months ago" „Accident?" Rikuo questions curious and Soma puts his hand on his forehead „Please... don't make me remember it..."
