Chapter 10: Minami's Body

Having killed another group member, Daisuke heads home. He opens the door to find Minami resting on the time was 2:03 AM.

Daisuke: "And I thought she said she didn't need rest."

Minami: "I don't. I just thought I'd try it since I haven't slept in a while."

Daisuke: "Oh then you're still up."

Minami: "You got yourself into another fight didn't you?"

Daisuke: "More importantly.." He shows Minami both his palms. They both showed the same flame symbol from earlier. "..What is this symbol on my hands?"

Minami: "I recognize them. They're eternal flames."

Daisuke: "Eternal flames?"

Minami: "It seems you borrowed more of my power through that pendant."

Daisuke: "So I can use flames now? Sweet!"

Minami: "Well you and Uzui can?"

Daisuke: "Huh? Why her?"

Minami: "You both have the same blood flowing through your bodies. It's inheretent between siblings. That's not important. You killed another one right?!"

Daisuke: "Yeah I did."

Minami hugs Daisuke.

Minami: "Thank you so much! That makes only 5 more and I'll stay with you to fight them!"

Daisuke: "Let's check that map in the morning to see where we go next."

Meanwhile in a different city filled with large skyscrapers, in the dead of night, a shaodwy man is seen from the top of a building.

?: "I don't believe this. Rogue is dead too? Attention. Over the past few days, we have been attacked by a boy named Daisuke Yashimira. For some reason, he discovered one of the killed girls' pendant. If you find him, bring him and that pendant. I will crush them both myself. Also, be on the lookout for 2 others: a boy named Nasai and a girl named Kaori. They will always be around him. We cannot afford another death if this plan is going to work properly..."

The next morning...

Daisuke: "Okay so there's one in Osaka, Japan?"

Minami: "Yeah and he's moving fast."

Daisuke: "He sure is. Are you ready to go?"

Minami: "Yes. I will open a portal to Osaka."

A portal appears with Daisuke and Minami entering it. They are transported to the outside of Osaka.

Daisuke: "Um, is this the place?"

Minami: "Well according to the map, he should be running through this part of Osaka."

Something moving appears on the horizon. A cloud of smoke and dust made it hard to tell what it was.

Daisuke: "What is that?"

Minami: "That's..! It's one of them!"

Daisuke: "Woah are you serious? He's coming this way fast!"

The running man zooms in between Daisuke and Minami.

Daisuke: "We gotta catch up to him."

Minami: "No. We won't catch him running at that kind speed."

Daisuke: "So what do we do?"

The pendant glows and Daisuke is blinded. When he's able to see, Minami is gone.

Daisuke: "Eh? Minami?"

Minami: "I'm here inside of your body."

Daisuke: "Huh? Why?"

Daisuke's body begins to float.

Daisuke: "W-what's going on?!"

Minami: "We're gonna have to fly and catch up to him."

Daisuke: "Fly?!"

Minami: "Here we go!"

Daisuke soars through the skies and catches up with the running man.

Daisuke: "Where do you think he's going?"

Minami: "Who knows? We should take him out though before he gets to where he's going."

Daisuke: "Alright let's do it."

Daisuke comes crashing into the running man and they both tumble across the road.

Man: "Hey! Watch where you're going!"

Daisuke: "Man that hurts! Who're you anyway?"

Man: "Me? The name's Byro."

Daisuke: "Byro, eh?"

Daisuke punches the wind out of Byro.

Byro: "Oof!"

Daisuke: "I'm gonna kill you right now."

Minami: "Shall we attempt to use Glorious Halo?"

Daisuke: "Let's do it."

A power surge erupts from around Daisuke's legs. The light-plated armor he had seen before when he was fighting Rōku appeared on his left arm and right leg, along with his hair growing slightly longer. The same sword also appeared in his other hand.

Byro: "I see..."

Byro brushes Daisuke away and speeds off down the road.

Daisuke: "You're not getting away! Let's get him Minami!"

Minami re-enters Daisuke's body and flies towards Byro.

Byro: "So I guess my boss was right. He definitely is coming strong after me. But I won't let him kill me; not where I'm going."

Daisuke: "He's faster than before!"

Minami: "I'm on it!"

Daisuke flies faster and catches up with Byro again.

Byro: "You're pretty persistent, aren't you?"

Daisuke: "I'm only doing what my friend wants! I'll stop you no matter what!"

Byro: Smiling "We'll see about that." Byro pulls out a dagger and stops to plant one foot on the ground and jumped fast to Daisuke. Byro was able to slash Daisuke in his right arm which was carrying his sword.

Daisuke: "He's quicker when he's jumping?"

Byro: "Do not take me lightly boy. I've been informed by my boss not to die. Our plan can't afford another death."

Daisuke: "Is that so? I am DEFINITELY gonna kill you now!"

Byro: Sigh "I think I just say the wrong things sometimes."

Daisuke: "Tell me where your boss is!"

Byro: "You should be more focused on what's behind you."

Daisuke: "Ah..." He turns his head around to see Byro flying behind him. "No way! He's right there on the ground!"

Byro: "Heh! I move so fast, I'm able to make a copy of myself. I can hit you whether you're on ground or in the air."

The Byro in the air balls both his fists together and slams Daisuke to the ground. The Glorious Halo armor dissipates along with the sword Daisuke was using. With that Byro escapes by speeding away.

Daisuke: "Damn...DAMMIT!"
