Demon Slayer: Yin and Yang

Chapter 10: Real Life Introductions

I promised Black Raider that I wouldn't tell people her real name so don't ask, I only own my characters, my weapons... myself, and Okami who is none other than Black Raider.

(Shifu's POV)

"Good morning, Master!" Everyone greeted

"Good morning, students."

It had been a week since we've saved Kuro from those demons, and also learned more about the apostles of the star. This Samael person wants to recreate the world in his own image, and we were going to be ready for it, by fighting demon power with demon power; Junior introduced us to Kiriel, a fallen angel who shows souls their sins and also owns a bar back in Conneticut. He gave use the weapons to help Junior fight the apostles, and since then, we've been training with them to get ready for the battle to come. Now, speaking of Junior. "Junior, time to get up."

"I'm not coming out!" He exclaimed

"Why not?" I asked, gently.

"I don't want to, now go away!"

"If you don't come out, I'll make you come out."

"Screw off!"

"... I'm sorry, do you want to try that again?" I asked

"Fine... but don't laugh."

I have to admit, when he opened the door, I actually had to hold the bit of laughter I had inside; he was wearing his normal clothes, but what was different, was that Junior was wearing a bell around his neck, almost like a dog. "Kohai, you look so cute!"

"Momo." Junior sighed.

"Where'd you get the bell?" Po asked, not even trying to control his laughter

"Shut up, I know you put this on me Po," He exclaimed. "I could hear you last night, and now I can't even get this off, not even in my wolf form!"

"Sorry little bro, but your stuck with it."

"Before anything else happens, I'd suggest we start training." I insisted

"Yes Master."

Besides that, everything was fine, there wasn't a demon sighting in a while, but we kept a look out just in case; I also noticed how Junior and Huayin started to bond with each other, they had a very close connection, which made them feel the samething. I even noticed how they kept their dog tails and ears. "I see you two are wearing your dog traits more often."

"If you can't beat them, join them...!?"

"What's wrong?"

"I hear something, how about you, Huayin?" Junior asked

"It's far away, but I can hear it." Huayin agreed

"Is it a demon?" I asked

"No, it sounds like a girl... it's gone."

"What happened?"

"Don't worry Shifu, I could tell from the sounds that the girl is alright." Huayin assured.

"I know, she must be strong," Junior agreed. "Let's go and train, if we hear the sound again, we'll go search for it."

"Alright."

As we made our way to the training hall, I watched as my students progressed in their new weapons; Tigress had become better suited with Durga, she even started to get used to unsheathing her claws in battle. Because of her skills in ribbon dancing, Viper was easily able to master Kulshedra, it was almost as if she was dancing. Crane was struggling at first when using the crows feathers, but over time he gained control, and was instantly able to turn his feathers into blades. Monkey's acrobatics, along with Odette's ability of ice, he could always skate and attack at the same time, making him a formidable fighter. Mantis however was having the time of his life, when using the demons body ring, he would say that "He feels big". Even Po was progressing, it took a while for him to learn how to use tonfas, we made sure that he'd use regular tonfas before using Kilgore, so he wouldn't blow anything up. "Hey Shifu, wanna go a round?"

I knew Junior was ready, his skills with the demon blades have improved as well. "Very well, I'll spar with you, but Huayin must fight as well."

"Alright, let's go." They agreed

The both of them were always ready, both holding a different sword, Huayin held the long blade Kageichi Muramasa, while Junior held Kuzuryu in his hands. "Ready, Inugami?"

"Yes, this'll be fun." The blade answered

"So that's where he's been, I forgot that Inugami was sealed in Kuzuryu." Huayin said

"I appear when I want to, but now I want to be apart of this fight." Inugami answered

"I agree, it'll be an honorable one," I unsheathed Shuruba and formed a stance. "I'm ready when you are."

"Get ready, Inugami."

"Kageichi, be on gaurd."

That's right, I remember how Junior and Momohime told me how to be in control of Shuruba; the blade is like the demon blades themselves, so in order to control Shuruba, I need to form a bond with the blade. "Asura, demon god of war, get ready for a battle."

The air became thick, everyone stopped when they felt it, I could feel the bloodlust surging from Shuruba's blade; it was almost threatening, but I kept control. "This is a sparring match, don't get excited, Asura."

"Let's go!"

The two charged at me with blades in hand, but I could see their attacks from a mile away, so I was able to block them; the two of them reacted with a downward slash, but I quickly dodged and countered. When Shuruba clashed with Kuzuryu, I could hear the blades screaming, it was as if I was watching a battle between gods. The blades clashed even more, it was almost as if they were moving on their own, and we were just their puppets. "Go Shifu, show them what you got!"

"Huayin!"

"I'm on it: Shadow Hornet!"

Huayin charged at me, and attacked with rapid sword thrusts, I blocked each one and countered him. "I'm quite impressed, but is that all you've got?"

"Not even close, Kohai now!"

"All ready on it!"

Before I realized it, Junior was already above me. "Here goes; Thunder Clap!"

Junior thrusted the blade towards my head, but as I blocked it I could feel the electricity coming from Kuzuryu, it was almost to much for me. "Huayin, do it!"

"What?"

"Waning Moon!"

Huayin unleashed a shockwave shaped like a half moon, but because of Junior attack, I didn't have time to dodge; as the attack made contact, I released Shuruba from my hands fast enough to move out of the way, and as it flew into the air, I grabbed it and got back into a sword stance. "Impressive teamwork, you two are definetly the same person."

"Thanks." Junior said, smiling.

"Now how about we finish this, with one final strike." As Huayin said this, he placed Kageichi back into his sheath. Junior did the same with Kuzuryu.

"This is gonna be so epic."

"Their gonna do a quickdraw." Momo said.

They were about to attack, I could feel the blades calling out from their sheaths, but I could hear something else; a voice was calling me, telling me what to do. "I see, alright then."

I grabbed the Shuruba's sheath and formed a sword stance, as I sheathed the blade, I could feel its power growing; the blades were like beasts, I could hear their roars echoing in my ears. "Ready Shifu, in all honesty, this might kill us all."

At that moment, I thought Asura was influencing me, because I said something that surprised even myself. "Well, it wouldn't be fun if it didn't."

"Good, then let's do this on 3." Huayin smirked

"1."

"2."

"3!"

"Moonlight Glint!"

"Asura's Rage!"

Their quickdraw combo was devestating, it could've destroyed the whole training room, but I did a quickdraw of my own; the attack clashed with theirs, and they both canceled out. As we sheathed our swords, we bowed to show our respect. "That was quite a battle, you've both done well."

"So have you, you've gotten better with Shuruba." Huayin complimented.

"Oh man, I could've sworn that attack could take this bell off me!" Junior whined.

"Like I said, you're stuck with it!" Po chuckled, only to get hit with Kuzuryu's sheath.

"Just be lucky I didn't use the blade, or you would've...!?"

(My POV)

There's that sound again, I'm actually impressed that these dog ears could hear something far away, it sounded different this time; I could hear a monsterous roar along with the girls voice, it sounded like they were attacking. Then my demonic sense kicked in, the fur on my tail started go up, like telling me something bad was going to happen. "Kohai, can you feel it?"

"Kohai, where are you going?" Momo asked

I was already running out to where the voice was, "Hurry and follow me, we gotta save someone!"

"What!?"

But it was too late, I was already out of the valley, I was running like the terminator in judgement day; I kept a look out for the sound again, and I made sure to follow it. 'Oh man, I'm really running."

"Let go of me!"

There was the girls voice again, and it was close, so when I made it to a clearing I found three demons in front of me; three large oni, one was holding a girl in his right hand. "I still say we should grill her."

"No way, fry her!" The other two argued

"Grill her!"

"Fry her!"

"Oh for god's sake!"

I grabbed Kageichi and stabbed the oni's hand, releasing the girl who was trapped. "And for your information, it would've been easier to bake her!"

"He has a point." One of them said.

"Wait, who the hell are you?"

"Wait, I know you, your Lord Kohai."

"Yes, now what do you think you three are doing?" I asked

"Well, we were just asking this girl how we should cook this boar we found, right...!?"

I gave them three bullets to the face, just to give them a warning. "If that's the case then bake it, now get out and never come back!"

"Y-Yes sir!"

Just like that they left, now to get back to...!? "Take this!"

That girl from before tried to kick me in the crotch, luckily I was able to block it. "The hell, is that how you say thanks to someone who just saved your life!?"

"I could've taken them." She argued

"They were five times taller than you, no way you could take them!" I retorted

"Says you dog boy, by the way, nice bell."

I was about to say something else, but then I got a good look at her; she kind of had pale skin, and brown hair. She wore glasses like me, but hers were brown too, and her eyes looked like... whoa, they actually look like yin and yang symbols. "Are you checking me out or something?"

"Course not, I just never got a good look at you," I answered. "But, you kind of fit someone I knows description."

"Hm."

Next thing I knew, she started examining me, like I there was something on me. "Long black hair, two black guns, and two swords."

"Yes, is there a reason your examining me?" I asked

"You look like someone I read in a story, what's that swords name?"

"Um, Kageichi Muramasa."

"No way, then you're Klonoakazeno!" She exclaimed

"Wait, you know me?"

"Kohai!"

Before she could answer, Momo and the others finally made their way here. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I took care of the problem," I assured. "In any case, you know me?"

"Yeah, I read your stories, I just can't believe they were real." The girl answered

"Just the demon slayer story, but who are you anyway?" I asked

"Here's a hint, one of my characters names is Mei."

A character named Mei, who made a character like that... no way! "I can't believe it, you're Black Raider!"

"Who?" Everyone asked

"Oh yeah, I never told you guys, I write stories and upload them on a site for people to read," I explained. "One them is a girl named Black Raider, which is this girl here."

"The furious five and the dragon warrior, Master Shifu too, I can't believe their real!" She exclaimed

"Nice to meet you, Black Raider." Shifu greeted.

"Nice to meet you too, but that's just a name I use online."

"So, what's your real name?" Po asked

"I'm not telling you, but you can call me Okami." She answered

"She calls herself that because her profile picture is of a wolf, I would tell you guys her real name, but I promised not to." I explained.

"And if you do, I'll beat you down." Okami threatened

"Right, just remember what'll happen if you tell anyone my name." I retorted

"Well it's nice to meet you Okami, my names Momohime, but you can call me Momo." Momo greeted

"Nice to meet you too, so you're Kohai's girlfriend."

"What, we're just...!?"

I couldn't even answer, all I did was look at Momohime, and when we made eye contact, we both turned away with our faces red. "You can't fool me, and I guess the white haired version of you is Huayin."

"You know me?" Huayin asked

"Yeah, Kohai wrote about you in his stories." Okami answered

Everyone laid their eyes on me, looking for an answer. "Okay, I've been writing our adventures since we first got here, and then I upload them on the fanfiction site."

"Is that why you brought your computer with us?" Momo asked

"Well, I had to occupy my free time somehow," I muttered. "Anyway, what're you doing here?"

"Oh, I'm on vacation here, I told my parents I'm staying with a friend." Okami answered

"So, are you really staying with a friend?" Huayin asked

"Well... I am now, if you don't mind."

"You lied to your parents!?" I exclaimed

"I wanted to do something before new years came, my second option was going to Japan, but now I'm definetly glad I came here."

"But still, screw it, all honesty I don't really care."

"So you guys fight demons right, so can I join?"

"You want to be a demon slayer?" Po asked

"Yeah, it'll be like a part time job," She answered. "And from what I've read in your stories, the pay is great."

"Pay?" Tigress asked

"I got the idea from the witchblade anime, I made a deal with the gods, for every demon we kill, we get two million dollars."

"Two million!?"

"So, can I join?"

The thought about it was hard for me. "You do know that the job is dangerous, you could get killed."

"I'm not afraid, I'm tough enough to take care of myself." Okami answered

"But one more thing."

Huayin took out his Kageichi and pointed it to her face. "If you agree, your going to engage in a battle with monsters that intend to kill, and the only way to survive... is to kill them yourself. Could you take someones life, to have their blood on your face, and to feel the fear of dying yourself?"

No matter how much I didn't want to say that, I kind of have to, even though it was Huayin who said it; she seemed troubled now, but I knew she wasn't going to give up. "Alright, I still want to join no matter what!"

"That's what I like about you, you got spunk." Huayin said, smiling.

"Alright, you can join." I agreed

"Yes!"

"But you need some weapons first, so let's go... Gates... Of... Hell!"

The sealed from before appeared below us again, and it instantly trasported us back to the gates of hell bar, where we found Pain and Panic. "Welcome back, Lord Kohai."

"You two, how dare you harass women like that!"

Okami went out on them and gave them both a good punch, I forgot she didn't like them harassing Momohime in chapter 8. "Um, this is my friend Okami, and I see you remember Pain and Panic from my story."

"Are you guys screwing around again, oh just you guys, and a new girl." Kiriel said

"This is my friend Okami."

"Nice to meet you, I hope you can give me some good weapons." She said, smiling

"Same here, so how about this baby?"

"Hey, I know that weapon, that's Nichibotsu!"

She was right, it was her weapon from her stories, a spear with a wooden staff, but the blade was the color of blood. "The blade is demonic, and anytime it hits an enemy, it'll burn them like they were near the sun."

(A/N: I kind of had to make the weapons more demonic, I hope you don't mind Black Raider.)

"Cool, it never did that before!" Okami said, holding it in her hands.

"Now then, don't know if you know this one, but if you do let me know." Kiriel said, grabbing a fan.

The fan was made out of metal, and it was the color of the moon itself. "That's Sanraizu, I can't believe my weapons are real!"

"Welcome to my world." I said, chuckling.

"Sanraizu has the same power as the fans from the tengu demons, it can manipulate the wind and use it as a shockwave." Kiriel explained.

"So awesome, I can't wait to use these!" It really wasn't hard to figure out that she was excited.

"Thanks Kiriel, see you guys," I said, but first. "By the way, Pain, Panic, I promise this won't happen all the time."

"Thanks."

With a snap of my fingers, we were brought back to the jade palace. "Wait, weren't we in the forest?"

"I know how to bring us to different places, so Shifu, do you mind letting Okami stay here?" I asked

"I don't see why not." Shifu said, smiling

"Oh thank you, I promise you won't regret it!" Okami said, hugging him.

"Just so you know, you're going to train everyday."

"What!?"

"You have to learn how to use those weapons somehow, we'll start tomorrow."

To be continued

Hope you like this chapter Black Raider, and everyone else too. Chapter 11 coming soon after I finish love bonds.
