Demon Slayer

Chapter 10: Kuzuryu and the Leader

I got this from Black Raider, this chapter has a little romance between me and Momohime while telling about the leader of the demons. I only own me and my sword.

"Wow, this is where you live!?"

I was amazed at the spa Momo and her sisters lived in, it was a large white building; the sign had two colored leaves and a flower. Momo smiled and said "Like it, we call it 'Ai Spa', you know what it means right?"

'Um that means... love spa." I thought "Yeah, very catchy."

"Maybe next time you could sleep over."

"R-Really?" I stuttered

"We'd love for you to spend the night here Kohai." Yuzu said, smiling

"What do you know, am I sensing a love triangle?" Po teased

"Po you little... thank you very much." I said, smiling

"Please, come in."

When we went in I was amazed at what they had, everything was so beautiful; there was a fountain in the middle of the lobby, and cherry blossoms fell in the water from the ceiling. There were japanese kanji's symbolizing love and beauty, and by the side was a small shrine. "Wow, this is so awesome!"

"Ready to go to the baths?" Momo asked

"Yeah, so we go to different baths right?"

"Actually, in our spa we have unisex baths." Kongiku answered

'Wait, then the three of them... will be... I would totally thank Japan for thinking of this, if only there were different girls.' I thought

"Oh, so we go together?" Po asked "Ok, see you girls there."

Shifu saw the look on my face and asked "Are you alright?"

"F-Fine, I just need to get used to other countries customs thats all." I stuttered

I think he knew what I was talking about, he chuckled and said "Very well, let's hurry and get in."

"Yeah, I can't wait to relax!" Po agreed

"Hooray." I said, sarcasticly

Like I told Po when we were in the forest, I'm not comfortable taking baths with guys; I wouldn't mind girls, but for them to be my friends feels... akward. I made sure that I got in first, and when I did I felt so relaxed. There was slow music playing in the backround, and the hot springs made feel at ease. But then a large wave of water came on me from a big slash, I could tell it was Po when he said "Oh man, this feels so good!"

"You're right panda, I've never felt so relaxed." Shifu agreed

"When have you ever relaxed?" I asked

"He has a little since I became the dragon warrior." Po answered "Why don't you come closer, you don't have to be so far away."

"You know why."

"Oh yeah, Jun doesn't like bathing with other people."

"Then why is he here?"

"I think I know." He teased

"Po I'm trying to relax, so shut up!" I exclaimed

I tried taking a deep breath to relax, I actually felt at ease now; I sunk deeper into the water until my whole body was in the water,I could hear a voice calling out to me. "Do you like the hot springs?"

I shot up to see Momohime in front of me, wearing a towel in front of her; I felt relieved, I sat back down and said "Yeah, they're great."

"I know, when I'm here I feel so relaxed." Momo explained "They throw all of my troubles away. So you don't like bathing with others?"

"I kind of feel uncomfortable when I do." I answered

"Me too, sometimes I wish I could be like Kogiku and Yuzuruha."

"So you could change into an animal?"

"Yeah, I'd have fur so I wouldn't be embarrassed if someone saw me." Momo explained "But for some reason, I feel fine when I'm around you."

"Really, I actually feel the same way." I said, smiling "Maybe it's because were friends."

I really like Momohime, she's a good friend; it doesn't feel weird hanging around her, even if were in a bath. I feel like I knew her for a long time, but it feels hard. "Kohai... what do you think of me?"

"Huh, what do I think of you?" I asked "How can I say it, when I first saw you... I felt like I was somewhere else. I find myself on a hill with a peach tree, and the cherry blossoms are flying in the air in beautiful grace. There's this feeling in my chest, a feeling I never had but thought I would never have. When I think of you, I feel happy and something else I don't know."

"Is that true?" Momo said, surprised

"Yeah, your that special." I said, then I thought 'I wonder what Po and the others are talking about?'

"That was so sweet!" Po whispered "I knew Jun had feelings for her."

"Panda, it wasn't that hard to figure out." Shifu corrected "I wonder if he'll figure out that feeling he doesn't know about?"

"Please Inarimyojin, let these two become one." Yuzu pleaded

"They would make a good couple." Kongiku agreed

"I wonder what Momo thinks of him?" Po asked

"Kohai, back at the abandoned sauna... you were crying, weren't you?" Momo asked

"... Yeah, I really felt connected to Po at that moment." I answered "I wanted him to know that he had a friend to help him in his time of need, can I tell you something?"

"What?"

"I make stories online, and my main character was adopted by Shifu." I explained "Po acted like an older brother to him too, thinking about it... I probably made it like that because I never had that. I was just alone... alone in a world without a purpose."

I asked myself 'Why am I telling her this, for some reason it doesn't feel weird. Did the others hear that?'

"H-He thinks of me as an older brother." Po said, teary eyed

"That's so sweet!" The two vixens agreed

'Always alone, I never knew he felt like that.' Shifu thought "I'm going to do what ever I can to help him."

I couldn't believe I told her that, I turned my back from her so I couldn't see her reaction; but then I felt her hands on my shoulders, she gave me a back rub saying "I never knew, to always feel alone must be a hard thing to burden. You... your sensetive, but your also a kind and warm hearted person who tries to help others. You try to protect others, even people you don't know. When I think of that, I realize something... I really like you for who you are."

"So, you don't like me for what I look like?" I asked

"I saw what you looked like from your a picture in your house." Momo answered "Even then you were cute."

"C-Cute... !?"

Oh no, it's those senses again; I felt Momohime's hands leave my back, and when I turned around I saw her grabbed by the tentacle ofa giant squid demon. "How the hell did this get in here, let Momo go!"

"Kohai, catch!"

I turned to see where the voice I heard came from, but instead I got hit by two swords; I took a wild guess and thought 'Shifu must've brought Kageichi with us, weird how he knew this would happen.'

I put Momo's sword on my back, and as I unsheathed my sword my outfit came on and I sliced the squids tentacle that grabbed her; I quickly grabbed her and landed to the ground, but I was unaware that her towel was gone until it landed on my head. "Kohai, are you alright?"

"I-I'm fine, here's your sword." I answered

When she grabbed her sword Momohime's pink kimono and shoulder armor appeared on her body; we formed a sword stance and exclaimed "Moonlight Glint!"

We sheathed our swords and unleashed a double quickdraw; the wave sliced at least a dozen of the tentacles, but more kept coming. So I jumped head on and shouted "Shadows Hornet!"

I stabbed repeatedly at every tentacle that came near me, and I destroyed everyone of them; then Momo came from behind and exclaimed "Arc!"

Momohime cut through the air and launched a shockwave, the wave was a red boomerang; the shockwave attacked once and then came back to attack again, and as we sheathed our blades the demon was sliced into three pieces. "Um, sorry Momo."

"Sorry for what?" She asked

"Because of the demon, the bath is filled with blood." I answered "Maybe we should have fought in another place."

"It's ok, the spring water goes down a drain after people are done bathing." Momo explained "So it'll be like nothing happened."

"Oh, let's go find the others."

Turns out Po and the others had left the hot springs while we were fighting, that's when we heard a whole bunch of people fighting in the lobby; when we made it there we found Po and Shifu taking down the last of the kappa demons while protecting Kongiku and Yuzuruha, when there was one last demon they teamed up and kicked it straight into space, that demon then became a star in the sky. "Kongiku, Yuzuruha your ok!"

"Momohime, are you alright?" Yuzu asked

"I'm ok, Kohai saved me again." Momo answered

"You don't have to say that, after all you helped me kill the demon... !?"

"W-What is this!?"

This feeling... it's stronger than all the others, and even Momo can feel it; a black energy started to appear at the front door making a black orb, when it disappeared we found something that shocked both me, Po, and Shifu. It was a snow leopard, with glowing yellow eyes and wearing purple pants, and in his hands was a sword with a blue handle overflowing with power. Po was so stunned that he stuttered "T-T-Tai Lung!?"

"Well, if it isn't the dragon warrior." He smirked "It's nice to see you too, master."

"Your alive?" Shifu asked

"Yes, I have come back from hell... as a demon." Tai answered "A demon with one purpose... to become the god of this world, with the help of Kuzuryu."

"Kuzuryu, that's the Kuzuryu blade!?" I exclaimed

Po and Shifu looked a little confused, that was when Yuzu said "The Kuzuryu blade is a demon blade that holds the spirit of Inugami: a dog god. But he became mad with power, which was why the gods sealed him in that sword. Before he possessed Tsunayoshi Tokugawa so he could enter heaven and become a arch demon, but Kisuke stopped him."

"So Junior's ancestor stopped the evil demon before?" Po asked

"Yes, but now that I have it I'll become a god along with Kuzuryu." Tai answered

"Hehehe... hahahaha!"

This is like when I first used the sword. exctasy, bloodlust, the urge to kill came to my body again; Momohime felt the samething, I could tell from her hard seductive breathing. "Yes... YES, this is what I always wanted!!"

"I see, Kuzuryu must be affecting the both of you." Tai smirked "I guess I'll give you a taste of it's power."

It was amazing, Tai Lung only unsheathed his sword a little but the energy coming from the blade was so strong that it attacked Momohime instantly; I rushed in front of her to block the attack, but it was to strong for me to gaurd and it ended up attacking me. Kageichi's blade broke while the blood from my body started pouring out, but I used it as an advantage by letting Kageichi drink my blood to restore it's blade. "Oh yeah, I'm gonna enjoy this fight."

"Me too, my body has goosebumps from it." Momo agreed "I love this sensual feeling, I want to feel it all inside of me!"

"Then let's go, Iku ze!"

I charged straight at Tai Lung with my blade, and when I attacked he blocked it by only unsheathing his blade a little; the blade was overflowin in a dark green flame, it was so powerful that I almost fell to my knees. Just then Momo launched herself into the air and attacked, both me and Tai Lung pushed each other out of the way when she made a giant crater. She licked her blade in pleasure and said "Mmm... so good, give me more of this feeling!"

"I don't get it, I thought those two were done with those personality changes?" Po said, confused

"Kuzuryu is filled with bloodlust, and since they also use demon blades they can't control the urge." Yuzu explained

"Is this how they acted when they first used the swords?" Kongiku asked "It's hard to believe that this is the other side to them."

"The other side, this is what they hold inside of them?" Po asked

"Yes, the demon blades only prevoke the other side of the weilder to come out." Yuzu answered "Deep inside of Kohai's heart lies the great desire to kill."

"What about Momohime?"

"I think she's acting like that to get someones attention." Shifu answered "Namely Junior's."

"Wait a minute..."

(Flashback)

"How about after this you can put that sword of yours to good use?"

(End Flashback)

"So what she said back at school..."

"Yes panda, though influenced by the demon blade... Momohime was trying to express her feelings to him." Shifu answered "I guess in her mind, she thought that Junior was into bad girls... probably because of his hair."

"Is he into bad girls?" Kongiku asked

"No way, he's to sensetive to be into them." Po answered "Momo's kind gentle side is definetly a match for him."

"Double Hornet!" Momo and I exclaimed

The two of us lauched a barrage of quick attacks at Tai lung, it seemed to damage him a little but he was still able to block most of it; he then pushed us away with a shockwave that made us fell to our knees. "I see, you two have some skill. We'll see each other again."

Tai Lung then engulfed himself in the same black orb from before and disappeared; that fight gave both me and Momohime alot of injuries, in the end we both fainted on the gorund.

"If you think about it... Junior is like a hedgehog." Shifu explained

"A hedgehog?" Po asked

"Yes, he wants to feel the warmth of others but he's afraid of hurting them." Shifu answered "He feels as if he's alone in the world, but after meeting Momohime he wants to try and feel that warmth."

"It's so sad." Yuzu said, teary eyed

"Momo-hime." I muttered "Protect... Momohime."

"Go to sleep, she'll be just fine." Shifu assured "Now rest."

To be continued

I got the hedgehog thing from evangelion, or is it just in the abridged series? Wherever it's from it's actually true. Chapter 11 coming soon.
