Chapter 10: ambushed
Tsukune was scared to say the least. Just the thought that "He" Might be back was enough to make Tsukune fear for his life. He was the only man that had killed Moka and almost Killed Tsukune. He might be back at the school again. He needed to let the headmaster know as soon as possible but Tsukune should be safe since Jericho doesn't know of the suspicions.
He was amazed at the fact that the girls were willing to blow off that Tsukune had slept with Kokoa and Moka. It was one of the biggest surprises Tsukune had seen in a long time. Which was saying something. Tsukune was slowly walking down the dirt path towards the boys dorm trying to keep it quiet.
Tsukune suddenly heard a rustling of leaves in the bushes. He whipped around and got his fists up ready for a fight. "So now you are gonna start asking questions?" A voice laughs from within the bushes.
"Where... Where are you!" Tsukune yelled.
"Right here" Jericho yelled as he jumped out of the bushes and squeezed his hand against Tsukune's throat slamming him against a tree. "You just had to ask questions didn't you" Jericho laughed as he tightened his grip on Tsukune's neck.
"W-Why" Tsukune muttered. "W-Why did you c-come back." Tsukune was trying to gasp for breath. Jericho laughed and lifted him up higher.
"Because in order for the plan to work you can't have your friends getting involved and the more they hate you the less likely they are to interfere!" Jericho explained. Tsukune was a little confused. Jericho claimed to have a plan but he was acting as if he was coming up with it as he went along.
"What plan?" Tsukune grunted. Jericho smiled at Tsukune's question.
"Well due to the fact that you are no longer needed to open the gate. All we need to do is get the gate open and make sure there is as little resistance as possible" Jericho laughed.
"W-Why are you telling me this?" Tsukune shouted.
"Hahahahaha!" Jericho laughed loudly. "Because it's not like you are going to live long enough to stop us" Jericho laughed even harder. Jericho was acting like he lost his damn mind.
"Who is us?" Tsukune whispered as he tried to gasp for breath. Jericho grunted out of anger as he pulled Tsukune back and slammed him back first onto the ground. Tsukune could tell that Jericho was serious this time because this slam actually hurt him. Tsukune coughed as a little bit of blood trickled down his bottom lip.
"Shut up and stop asking questions!" Jericho yelled. Jericho looked at Tsukune with a look that Tsukune could tell wasn't rage but confusion.
"G-God dammit" Tsukune coughed. Jericho was no longer gripping Tsukune's neck but now grabbing him by his shirt. The only thought that was going through Tsukune's mind was that he needed to land just one good punch to stun Jericho then he could run away and hide.
"You do understand how hopeless you are right" Jericho whispered in Tsukune's ear. Jericho turned his head a bit and licked up the little drop of blood that was flowing down Tsukune's face. Jericho licked his lips and then lifted one finger up and a flame appeared at his finger tip.
"Let's make this a little more interesting" Jericho smiled. He put one hand on Tsukune's shirt to rip it open. Tsukune was trying to squirm away but he knew that no matter what he did it wouldn't change. Jericho slid back a bit just so his ass was on Tsukune's hips. He dug his knees into the dirt and he pointed his finger at Tsukune's chest.
Tsukune looked down slightly to try to see what Jericho was doing when he felt a searing pain in his chest. He saw that Jericho was burning his chest. Tsukune tried to scream but Jericho put his hand over Tsukune's mouth. Tsukune was screaming as loud as he could. Not just to get attention but also because the pain was that excruciating.
Jericho began to make rapid hand movements tracing his flame all across Tsukune's chest. Tsukune was in so much pain that he started to feel faint and just when he thought he was going to pass out Jericho stopped and got off of Tsukune. "That should be good" Jericho smiled.
Tsukune looked down at his chest and noticed that there was no blood, no bruise, and no sign of injury. The mark that Jericho burnt in looks like it was painted on. Tsukune was having trouble seeing so he couldn't quite tell what the symbol was but he had a bad feeling about it.
Jericho grabbed Tsukune by his armpits and lifted him up into the air. "Now we just wait for someone to find you" Jericho whispered as he ran Tsukune's through a tree branch. The shirt ripped but maintained enough that it held him up in the air. Jericho gave Tsukune one more punch in the gut and then he walked away.
