Don't Be Afraid Of the Dark
Chapter 10
This chapter (and probably the next) takes a look at the pasts of Bane Asakura, the Ghoul caretaker of Azazel's children, the manipulative Kami Kurosaki, the Ghoul that is out to kill him, Seraph, his cult and former Acolyte/cult member Dominik Cross and what it all has to do with Michael Darkstone, Azazel and the X-Men.
Kami tails Gambit, Wanda, Juggernaut and the petrified Toad through their half mile trek between the base and Bayville.
The group trekked in a silence that getting under all their skins as Kami took a deep breath of their scents, keeping to the shadows easily "So you're the one...this should be fun" he grinned sadistically, his eyes on Remy until Remy himself came to a stop as did he.
"Go on ahead" he said as Cain scowled glancing back as a shadow crossed his sight for a second "Something wrong?" But already he knew the answer by the annoyed look in Remy's eyes as he scanned the trees silently. The others left and Kami thought he was a fool to think he could take him alone at night and in his home, the shadows.
Kami sped across the trees in various directions on purpose, intending to confuse the young mutant if his eyes couldn't keep up and once behind him, lunged from the air and although Remy could sense kinetic energy didn't mean he could predict Kami's movements.
Gambit dodges at the last minute, swinging his Bo staff at Kami's head which missed as well as he came to a stop "Careful now, mon ami" Remy smirked "Remy Lebeau is NOT in the best of moods."
"Aw, that's too bad, Lebeau...I was hoping to play a little more" Kami stood and dodged some charged cards until he was back to back with the much shorter Gambit "I am Kami...somehow, I think we've met somewhere before"
Remy flinched, underestimating just how fast Kami was despite his size as he zipped around the wood and got closer to stand back to back with him and kicked him in the back this time, as Juggernaut reappeared and tries to punch him only for him to catch the fist, squeeze and break the hand then throw him aside "Kami ni asobi ni kite?" ("Come to play with Kami?") He said with a ferocious bloodlust in his eyes licking his fingers clean as his Ukaku-type Kagune appears from the blades of his shoulders.
They took the form of Angelic wings, though the person they were attached to could be described as worse than any demon "Eien no akumu" ("Eternal Nightmare") he looked to the sky, almost sad quickly replaced by an uncontrollably sadistic and sinister fanged grin "Anata wa...Watashi ni sankashimasu...Watashi no...Eien no akumu ni?" ("Will you...join me...in my...eternal nightmare?")
He noticed Wanda was missing and his wings were filled with razor sharp, red shard-like projectiles as opposed to feathers which he fired in succession after getting airborne as the Cajun and Juggernaut ran for cover from being cut to ribbons since it slashed through part of Cain's suit like butter "She won't get very far, ya know" he merely toyed with them.
Juggernaut quickly threw a heavy rock at Kami, hitting him in the face and grounding him "That's how you crush flies, Remy"
Remy would've nodded if a, now thoroughly pissed off, Kami hadn't rose to his feet with a bloody nose "No...you don't die just yet, I think I'll make you suffer and watch that little bitch die first just for that!" He smashes the rock they were hiding behind to pebbles and mowed over them.
Both looked horrified as they said together "Wanda...Toad" but Kami's inhuman speed beat them going and coming.
A great distance away, Wanda was just steps from civilization when she stopped, frozen as she felt something heartless, deadly and pure evil not to mention downright scary heading straight for her with the intention to kill her.
She looked at Toad "I'm sorry..." as darkness enveloped them, when the light returned, she felt a foot on her chest keeping her down and found that Kami had found her and had Toad "Going somewhere, young one?"
Kami was about to drop Toad and shatter him like glass but growled, not quite ready to kill the four mutants yet as he set him down gently and allowed Wanda to get to her feet.
Kami grinned, his eyes staring at her lethally as he shooed her "Go on, run and don't ask why I haven't killed you, mutant..." He allowed Wanda to run which she smartly did as he was enveloped by the shadows again, his grin falling to a smirk as he said to himself once she was gone "Mutants...such an interesting species, yet it's still too bad they're so weak and flawed by their very 'gifts'."
Meanwhile back at the mansion, Bane went inside and the X-Men gathered, wanting to hear his story, especially Victor.
"Yer not what you seem..." Victor says accusingly as Bane seemed not to care as much replying sharply "Shut up and let me start the story...I've never liked being predictable, Creed-san" he scowled, hating interruptions...
Flashback to the turn of the early 20th Century...
Bane Asakura was the young son of Hiachi Yang, a man who he did not even acknowledge as his father and his kind but scarier than Yang when angered, mother Tsume Asakura.
Tsume was a cook and stay-at-home mom, rarely going anywhere without seventeen year old Bane while Hiachi was a businessman of some kind and was rarely at home or with Bane.
"Bein, anata no otōsan wa ie ni mada arimasu ka?" (Bane, is your father home yet?) his mother called from the kitchen
"Īe, haha" ("No, mother") the young boy said hugging his mother lovingly as she prepared lunch, hopefully for three.
Bane's father, Yang was a very detached and quiet fellow, but quick to anger and of few words. A businessman of an unknown profession, he was to be abroad for the next few days until the door slammed open and then slammed shut.
Bane was not afraid as much as he was overly cautious, but both flinched as the door open and shut. Yang walked in covered in his own blood with a black eye and what seemed to be stab and slash wounds. Tsume, worriedly gasped as she hugged him "Nani ga okotta?" (What happened?)
"Nani mo, Tsume-chan" (Nothing, Tsume) Yang said with closed eyes, when they did open he gave Bane a look of pure hatred and disgust, as if what happened to him was entirely his only useless son's fault.
Yang was edging closer to Bane, when Tsume stood in his path with the kitchen knife "Nani o yatte iru to omoimasu ka?" (What do you think you're doing?) His voice was very slow and creepy but Tsume had no fear of him, which was why he loved her as much as he did.
"Watashi ga okonau ni wa shoppingu o motte iru... Kare no shukudai o anata no musuko o tasuke, kare no hitto shinaide kudasai, sore wa ikutsu ka no jikan ga kakaru koto ga arimasu" ("Help your son with his homework and please don't hit him...I have shopping to do, it may take some time")
"Nani?!" ("What?!") Both males exclaimed, Yang with suppressed fury and Bane with pure fear.
"Dono kurai seikaku ni?" (How long exactly?) Yang twitched with a smile that didn't look very pleased at ALL as she shrugged "Watashi wa jikkō ni yōji ga takusan aru, shirimasen" ("I dunno, I have a lot of errands to run")
"Fain" ("Fine") Yang said watching her leave but soon as she was gone, he sat on the couch watching television for hours until he fell somewhat asleep...something Bane rarely saw as Yang suffered from insomnia.
Feeling miserable, he went to his room and locked himself in, not trusting that he wouldn't be attacked as this was not the first time he was left alone with his seemingly evil father.
Yang, feeling the tug of an uncontrollable hunger, snapped his now red on black eyes open and went up to Bane's room finding the door locked "Bane!" He barked hearing the young man falling off his bed, he'd do anything to stave off his hunger, even devour Bane as he rarely interacted with him at all anyway "Watashi ga modoru made dokoni mo ikanai, ... Hitokuchi no tame ni gaishutsu shite imasu." (I'm going out for a...bite, don't go anywhere until I return.)
Bane had no chance to answer before he left the boy alone in the house.
What none of them saw was a lithe, small man hidden in the shadows, watch the father leave as Bane went watch television, having nothing better to do "Omoshiroi..." (Interesting...) before falling to the ground, revealing himself to be a young skater as he pulled out his video phone and nodded to a darkened head of a figure and retreating to the trees.
Elsewhere...Hiachi was searching Tokyo but couldn't shake the feeling he was being watched and he was as he passed a shadow and emerging from the shadow was a man, his boss, Kami Kurosaki came out glancing at him with no good intentions in mind as well as he was the reason he'd returned home beaten up for the umpteenth time earlier.
Kami smirked from the shadow "Hiachi, watashi wa... Himitsu o sukide wanai, mada, naze watashi wa anata ga watashi kara nanika o kakushite iru kankaku o eru nodesu ka?" (Hiachi, I don't like secrets...yet why do I get the feeling you're hiding something from me?)
Hiachi jumped at the voice, only one person could scare him this much as he flinched under the scrutiny of the unpredictable and undoubtedly dangerous Kurosaki.
Back at the house, Bane eventually ran out of things to do so he decided to leave home for the first time in years, everything he learned was taught by his mother...his father not wanting him to venture too far or to generally be around him, little did he know it was not a very good thing, especially today.
"Otōsan..." (Father...) Bane sat on his parents' bed before deciding that he'd already disobeyed the rule of not entering their room without permission which was the reason his father nearly choked him to death the last time around, he might as well go find his asshole of a father as he left the house in the direction his father went despite his fear of what would happen when he did find him.
Back with Hiachi, he'd picked up on both the scents of his son and his mate, heading his way and heading home respectively...unaware of the grave danger they were in but Kami was quiet, hopefully he hadn't sensed either of them carrying traces of his scent yet as he tried to distract him.
Hiachi gave a dry, calm chuckle "K-Kami-sama...Dono yō ni wareware wa kari kon'ya ni iku ni tsuite wa?" (K-Kami-sama...how about we go on a hunt tonight?)
Kami merely grunted "Te inai kūfuku mada, watashi wa anata ga jibun jishin o uete kita koto ga wakarimasu." (Not hungry yet, but I can see that you've been starving yourself.) He grinned evilly and knowingly as he'd picked the scents up before Yang even thought of it.
The Ghoul that watched Hiachi Yang leave his home appeared before Kami suddenly, bowing on one knee "Kodomo no kitaru, sā" (The kid's coming, sir) he remarked earning a glare from Yang "Kang, hāfuu~itto... Kore made to onajiyōni, mada kuso orokana, watashi wa mimasu" (Kang, the half-wit...still as fucking stupid as ever, I see)
This piqued Kami's curiosity as he could smell both Bane and Tsume coming even closer "Gaki to baishunpu... Karera wa anata wa arimasu ka?" (A brat and a whore...are they yours?) Kami teased as Yang's eyes went wide as sausers "Tsume...Bane...No." He would be frozen with fear but took off with great speed and that was his mistake, given he was almost starved and weaker especially in his hungry state.
Kami was giving him a head start, knowing well that he couldn't get to either in time before he himself did as he watched him go.
Then in one fell swoop, caught Tsume in an arm lock just before Yang could get to her.
By this time, Bane had gotten there and showed a display of his rage, usually kept inside for the first time, kicking Kami across the side of his head as his father's heart fell out of his chest in his own explosion of rage "Anata no monsutā, kanojo kara te o shutoku!" ("Get your hands off her, you monster!")
The kick did little more than annoy Kami who simply turned to give the young man a terrifyingly dark look "Kore wa watashi ga suisoku suru, anata no otokonokodesu ka?" (This is your boy, I presume?)
Yang yelled charging in only to be kicked in the head by Kami "Bein wa, jikkō shimasu!" (Bane, run!) But it was too late as Kami grabs him by the neck and drags him to watch, but had to let his mother go to do so...not that she could do anything, she was far too afraid of both Kami's feral nature and presence as well as the fact that such a monster could be lusting for her to even think straight as he gave a sadistic grin "Idō shinaide kudasai, saiai no hito... Watashi wa sono shunkan ni anata to issho ni, anata wa tebanasu tsumori wa arimasen yo" ("Don't move, darling...I'll be with you in a moment and have no intention of letting you go")
He turned to Bane "Gaki watashi wa dochira ka wasurete kangaete wa ikemasen" ("Don't think I forgot about you either, brat")
"Sore o shi nasai, Yan" ("Do it, Yang") Kami chuckled easily catching and slapping Bane hard enough in the face that he hit the ground, spitting the blood on Kami's shoe and the two glare at each other, Kami with an evil, knowing smile as he retrieved Bane's mother and went into an alley, her screams and his pleased moans were heard for the next few hours, infuriating Bane as it was his turn to scream as his father grabs him by the scruff "Watashi o yurushi, watashi no musuko" ("Forgive me, my son") as he was bitten deeply in the neck as he hollered trying to pry himself free to no avail. He was only awake enough to see a somewhat pleased Kami come out with his limp mother over his should as he came his way "Yukkuri o yasumi" ("sleep tight") as he lost his fight with unconsciousness. His father's cries and screams drifted further...he was screaming him name and he wondered why, seeing as all he'd ever done was push him away, beat and threaten him while his mother wasn't around and now was seconds from devouring him completely. It made part of him love his father while another part of him, not letting go of the deep seeded hatred wanted nothing more than him being served his own medicine.
Undisclosed Location...two weeks after Bane was bitten, he woke up to an adult male with a x-shaped scar on his forehead that reached the brigde of his nose staring at him at his bedside staring at his red eyes with his golden eyes and unnerving but not cold stare
"So...you're Kami's brat, eh?" He spoke after a minute in English and a scary calm deep voice "Did he drag you all the way here or somethin'?" He drawled a bit and creased his features to anger, checking the young man's features.
Bane ignored it as he searched the room as the man groaned "the human...is she someone close to you?"
Bane's eyes were fixed on the door before looking at the other Ghoul "Watashi ga motte iru... Nani no aidea wa, anata wa nani o itte ndesu" (I have...no idea what you're saying)
"Anata wa sore o shite iru ma, anata no un o oshite shūryō shimasu" (Quit pushing your luck while you're at it) the man gave the young man a glare that could kill as Bane bowed to the man "Arigatōgozaimasu, sensei" (Thank you, sir)
"Don't call me 'sir', boke" the man said pushing his index and middle fingers to the thoroughly confused Bane's forehead "I am called Scar...Scar-sama will suffice" he pointed at the scar that he knew Bane was pretending he did not notice before escorting him outside.
Once there, they met every Ghoul waiting, including a hooded fellow whose face was hidden from view and hid among the shadows of the thousands of Ghouls.
"Interesting..." The man said in a whispery, ghostly tone of voice "So this is what the son of...that son of a bitch, Yang Hiachi is going to be like" he separated himself from the crowd making a quick glance at one of the towering buildings, a lone man stood there with the mask of an Oni as he placed it on the side of his head revealing himself as Kami before slipping into a window...
"So, how do you like the kid?" He smirked adjusting his black hooded jacket as four Ghouls in what seems to be white lab coats look at him wordlessly, he frowned slightly taking his seat "Well?"
"He looks like a weakling...squeamish" one man answered, not taking his eyes off Kami who looked a bit annoyed as he flexed his hand to fist repeatedly and replied calmly and nonchalantly "True..."
"Has he...even eaten yet, Kami-sama?" Another sweat dropped as he stared down at Bane "he looks like he'll faint at the slightest sight of blood though"
Kami put his arm around the man's shoulder and squeezed, but the man held back the pained groan "Look good at his eyes...I put hatred in them...he want me dead even if he has to become me in the process" Kami explained with a sadistic grin "He will learn to abandon his humanity by force if necessary, but what I want to know is why he still smells like a human!"
"He does smell rather...good" the man chuckled "can I have a...closer look, maybe?"
All in the room frowned as they saw a dark flicker in Kami's eyes for a second as he gestured for the man to come closer to him "go ahead..." He said with a deceit always underlying in his voice as he lifted the man once he was next to him and made eye contact with Bane below "What are you doing?!" The man exclaimed, well aware that he'll be a grass stain if Kami threw him from this height, despite the Ghouls' apparent immortality, they can't survive being ripped apart or crushed unless they were lucky as Kami closed one eye "What do ya mean 'what am I doing'?" He snarled slightly "I'm giving you a closer look...a much closer look, you ask and I deliver" he snickered wickedly "...bye bye" he quickly threw the man through the window at the speed of a bullet and a large Binge Eater Ghoul, a Ghoul like Kami with an appetite that is rarely satisfied even by other Ghouls, with silver eyes looked to see Bane visibly flinch as Scar tried and failed to stop him from going to the dead Ghoul's body, the silver eyed Ghoul right beside him.
"He's not...is he?" Bane ventured closer to the dead Ghoul as the man with him gave Scar a look then sneered at Bane "Hey, Scar...ya new friend smells goood" he licked the side of Bane's face, earning a few chuckles before receiving a deadly look from Kami above them as Bane spoke his first words in English, glaring at Kami "You monster, the first thing I eat is going to be your skull!"
All Ghouls remained silent as Bane just realized he was licked by a Ghoul's rough tongue as he wiped and cringed staring at the silver eyed Ghoul grinning at him with those hungry, metallic eyes "Ew, dare ga sore o shimasu ka?" (Ew, who does that?)
The man only grinned and growled "Ya wa, kodomo o tatakau koto wa dekimasu ka?" (Can ya fight, kid?)
Bane shook his head no, another young supposed Ghoul, bandaged from head to toe came to them "I can be your sparring partner" the person about Bane's height and could only be identified as a male by his voice.
"Made your first friend, I see" Scar said as if it wasn't a good thing before smirking "good...but a word of advice, make sure to have runes around your windows and doors to keep...unwanted guests...out once nightfall comes around"
Bane looked at the Ghoul with silver eyes and an effortlessly cold stare as if reading his mind "Watashi no namae... Ryuken Sarazāru" (My name...Ryuken Salazar) the man now named Ryuken, stared at Bane 'He is stronger than he knows or lets on, I may need to keep an eye on his development...'
The bandaged fellow nodded "Jack Arc" he decided that he could trust Bane by giving his real name "but just Jack will suffice" the two Ghouls made it seem like they weren't paying attention when he had their full attention.
Kami watched Bane closely as well, standing as if he hadn't just thrown a Ghoul out of the window.
Kami glared over his shoulder at the remaining Ghouls in his presence "unless you want to see flying Ghouls and me painting this place blood red, I suggest you don't fail me, hm?"
None of them dared to take a step toward or away from Kami as they nodded "Hai, Kami-sama!"
Kami turned back to look at Bane "good, now get out" he said as two of the men fainted just from his Killer's Intent.
Bane on the other hand was allowed by Scar to own a home, the problem was it was in the area where the majority of Binge Eaters lived, which meant if he'd forgotten to replace the magical runes around his doors and windows, he could be eaten up by the greedy Bingers.
Tonight, Bane was so exhausted that he absolutely forgot about a Ghoul's very weak to moderate affinity for Magical Seals and Barriers that he went to bed without putting seals around his doors and windows, not that he could sleep much.
"Finally in bed...can't sleep, even a little" Bane said in slightly broken English. Little did he know, now that they had free reign of the small cottage he lived in, every Ghoul was also gauging his sleep patterns for the slightest sign that he had fallen into a deep enough snooze to enter and teach him an unforgettable lesson. Bane gave up on that quest but the sound of a broken window made him alert.
Luckily, it was a neighbour, a couple who did the same foolish act as Bane just did but fell asleep as two Ghouls, predominantly male, entered and almost completely ate the famale while the male was nearly as bad, only half eaten, losing an arm and a leg as his screams made sure Bane had no chance of sleeping as he ran to the window to see what had taken place, what he saw made him shiver with uncontrollable fear as two lab coats were left on the side of the street and a window was definitely broken as two giant men came out, one with a blonde ponytail wearing a black form-fitted hard leather suit that blood seemed unable to stain or soak into as it ran down his jawline and showed off every terrifying muscle as the other with a short crop of slightly spiky black hair reaching his chin, wore a navy version and was a little shorter. Bane noticed them standing at the doors to Kami's residence, but Bane hid as soon as the larger of the two turned his head to his house.
"Problem?" the smaller Ghoul struggled, both seemingly still feral and more than ready to finish their meal of the female in their possession as the other shook his head "Uh-uh" as the husband reappeared and attacked "Give her back!" but as he lunged the larger man bit him in the head and kicked him hard, all mid-air "Kono yōna gaichū" ("Such a pest") he growled turning to Bane's house and making eye contact with him "Doko ni ikimasu ka?" ("Going somewhere?") He asked to no one as he knocked the 'Pop Goes the Weasel' tune on the door
"Let me in, I only came to talk..." The man said in a cool tone as Bane snapped "No, go away!"
There was silence for a while as a deeper voice asked "You sure about that?" and Bane insisted "Yes, I'm sure...I'm fine."
Bane calmed down only when he heard footsteps leading away from his new home but only a wall separated him from the shorter Ghoul outside.
The 'Pop Goes the Weasel' knocking began again and Bane grew frustrated but as he is about to go to shoo the visitor away as the smaller man, after merely touching the wall for a few seconds, then with great but not peerless accuracy, the man punched the wall hitting Bane in the back of the head and stunning him a bit.
Then the larger Ghoul reduces the door to splinters and pins him to the large couch as his large hand muffled his scream as he attempted to suffocate him but thought of a better idea "Watashitachiha, anata ga watashitachi no don'yokuna shokuyoku o mitasu koto ga dekiru..., Bein o ue?" (We hunger, Bane...can you satisfy our voracious appetites?) He said as the other man revealed his white Kakugan that glowed evilly in the darkness as the other man smirked with his golden brown Kakugan "Don't scream just yet...we've only just begun" as they both bit deeply into either side of his neck for hours and even allowed him to scream, just to savor it and once finished, the larger Ghoul pet him on the head "Good boy" as they left him in bed and in pain.
Outside, the larger Ghoul put some of Bane's blood from his mouth into a vial before swallowing the majority and smirked "Mission accomplished"
The next day, Bane woke up still in pain but healed, much to his own confusion although his bed was still blood soaked when suddenly, Bane heard a voice calling out to him, it was only a mere whisper but he found himself following it through the city until he made it to the library, little did he know Kami was already there following the same voice.
The library seemed deserted except for Kami as he growled and looked around "Enough with the mind games, old man, come on out here."
"Now now, Kurosaki...did you forget what I did to you the last time you were impolite to me, garçon?" A voice seemed to be coming from everywhere at once as Kami shook his head "No" as he sighed and continued walking, not aware that Bane was there and seething.
Just as Bane's Killing Intent spiked, Kami looked in his direction with a serious expression but luckily Bane quickly calmed himself before Kami thought twice of it.
"What is Kami doing here?" Bane thought out loud but the voice beckoning him replied "Kami will cause you no harm in my presence unless he's just stupid, he has been called here just like you have..."
Bane continued walking until he heard Kami grunt as he came sprinting then to a stop at the door as a mask came sliding to his feet with the face of an Oni, then the lights flicked on revealing an unhappy Kami sitting across from a man, a Binge Eater named J'onn Lucario LeBeau as his red ringed eyes gave the young Ghoul a once over as he stood at the door, awestruck that he was holding Kami above him by the neck.
"Ne restez pas là comme putain de singe avec sa bouche ouverte , garçon, entrer" ("Don't just stand there like fucking monkey with its mouth open, boy, come in.") J'onn snapped Bane out of his daze before he scowled a bit...figuring that understanding people here, between the French-Cajun lunatic before him and nearly everyone else other than the slightly less wacko, Kami, whose main language possibly isn't Japanese.
"I take it you were attacked last night, mon ami?" J'onn said with slight dark humor as Bane nodded "H-hai, I saw them attack a couple nearby as well"
J'onn closed his eyes and smiled evilly "Sont-ce là les crétins que vous avez vu, mon jeune ami?" (Are these the knuckleheads you saw, my young friend?)
The lights flashed and the men who attacked Bane were behind where J'onn and Kami were seated, in chains up to their chins.
Kami looked back at them with a look of death "pray you imbeciles live long enough to explain yourselves..."
"Oui" J'onn nodded in agreement "and it better be good enough for both of us"
This made the two Ghouls nervous as to what J'onn especially had planned for them.
J'onn stared at Bane "you may go now mon amis" he looked like he might kill someone at any moment before looking at Kami "you can go too, Kurosaki, I can handle these two without assistance."
"And what of these fools?" Kami asks, not quite ready to leave without his own share of bloodshed but J'onn grabs him by the collar and stares at him coldly with his red ringed Kakugan eyes "Vous aura pas de part pour obtenir de ce fatras, obtenez maintenant hors de ma vue avant que je dois à déchirer le visage en lambeaux écœurante" ("You have no share to get from this rubbish, now get out of my sight before I have to rip your sickening face to shreds") he threatens angrily but a bit too calmly for Bane as he left hoping to return to do a bit of research of his own, with J'onn's permission of course.
Bane went to get some rest while Kami watched him from far...both were slightly startled by the sounds of anguished screams of terror as well as cursing in French coming from the extremely pissed J'onn Lucario LeBeau, a reminder of what Bane was in for if he angered the Cajun Ghoul
"Howatā anata wa saikō?" (What're you up to?) Kami thought standing on the roof as the winds blew all over the still mostly awake city.
Bane was fast asleep, unaware of what was in store for him...both from his impending training with Ryuken Salazar and Scar, the next visit to the library owned by the very murderous but seemingly kind J'onn Lucario LeBeau, not to mention Kami.
Unconsciously, Bane awaken a power he has no control over yet nor does he know he even has this power...the power to enter a person's dreams, the problem was that the person didn't need to be anywhere near him, there's no telling what could happen if he entered Kami's mind as his mind seems sensitive and he's already got a hyper awareness that Bane did not wish to test the limits of and there seems to be an argument going on between the forms of two ancient enemies. The Angel and the Demon.
"Pest..." The Demon on Bane's right snarled as his spade-tipped tail lashed wildly "Your kind is the main reason these vampire-zombie reject freaks still are alive and as voracious and cold as ever."
"Right..." The Angel seemed to scowl and mock the pissed Demon if the world wasn't so black and white to him here "and I'm guessing that you're blaming my forefathers for the hypocrites known as your forefathers who 'blessed'...and I use that in very loosely...them with immortality."
Bane was confused as they two continued arguing "Shut up!"
Both turned to him so fast that Bane flinched, they were to some degree aware that he is there but unable to hear Bane as his vision went black and he hoped the worst wouldn't happen.
Bane woke up at the same time that Arc jumped up from deep meditation flying to get a better look at two certain homes, the homes of Bane and Kami
Kami, after feeling unease from being out on his porch, goes inside hoping to sleep while Bane was asleep but tossing and turning.
Jack got to his feet and walked behind a large boulder, where a light flashed and when he emerged, his form changed.
Once a child, he was now an adult with long white hair reaching his lower back and just past his chin at the front. Being in his true form, an angel, he had no halo and one wing on the right leaving a stump where the left wing once was but this hasn't hindered his ability to fly, he was actually still a very fast and remarkable avian and a rocket in the sky.
Looking at Bane, he grimaced...he knew Kami was up to no good and had worse things in mind for Bane as well as his mother as he landed at Bane's house, as soon as his feet touched the ground Bane was out of bed and glared at him before his eyes widened to what he was actually looking at.
Jack's icy green eyes turned to face Bane, who seemed not to be in the mood for a visit after the last one "I come with a warning, my friend"
Bane didn't seem all too trusting as Arc's very large wing flexed and Bane's curiosity was piqued.
When he figured Bane was listening, he continued as he turned their attention to the tower Kami lived in, in time to see him go inside "Your very wellbeing will be in danger in the near future but I can change it if Kami dies tonight"
Bane's glare hadn't changed but he was surprised that the Angel wanted to kill the Ghoul "W-wait, how do you intend to do that?"
The Angel gave him a cheerful, but at the same time, sorry smile as he replied "do not worry about that and don't get involved...I won't restrain myself from harming you as well if I have to..."
He took off before Bane could say anything, he was still confused a bit about the situation.
Kami was readying himself and had just tucked himself into his way-too-big bed in the pitch black room only illuminated by the natural glow of his blue eyes
As soon as his eyes closed, he fell asleep but even the slightest noise will wake a deep sleeping Kurosaki, like now with Arc's nearly silent footsteps as he entered twirling his scythe with skill that even Kami can't help but praise.
"You know, entering someone's home with a weapon that has seen enough blood to last a lifetime is rather rude, don't you think?" Kami asks as Ark before looking at the weapon of choice, the scythe, as he saw his reflection on the black and white curved blade "Dakara, watashitachiha-banashi o tsumoridesu ka, watashi wa dansu o sukippu shite, sakende, watashi no ashimoto ni taikutsude tsumaranai kutsū ni mimodae ni chokkō suru hitsuyō ga arimasu ka?" (So, are we gonna talk or do I need to skip the dance and go straight to you screaming and writhing in mind-numbing agony at my feet?)
Kami was apprehensive of any weapon he'd never crossed blades with and Arc could see it, as poorly hidden as it was as Kurosaki was pinned to the bed with it at his throat but was already thinking of hundreds of other scenarios that don't end with him losing or dead.
Arc's eyes softened slightly "It's such a shame, really...that boy is destined to kill you or you'll corrupt the rest of your pitiful kind"
"Indeed..." Kami scowled as the scythe was pushed further towards his throat, then he saw his chance 'Perfect...seal your fate, baka'.
As Kami thought, Arc hesitated and inched back as Bane was close enough to see but not to be pulled in much to Kami's displeasure.
"I'll make you a mortal, Angel!" He dodged and even took attacks in order to grab hold of Arc's wing as the Angel's body became frozen, giving Kami a million more openings "Thanks for the wing souvenir, but I have no use for the rest of you" Kami growled as he threw the Angel out and attempted to rip the wing clean off but Arc freed himself by nearly amputating Kami, who pulled back.
The house was filled with smoke, Arc thinking Kami was down but he was neither down nor was he out. Arc wasn't going to underestimate him.
Kami walked slowly but stopped for a moment and smiled "stopped underestimating now, eh?" Then he went into a full sprint, jumping out of his house with a spinning kick that missed but disarmed the Angel.
"Get back here, you...I said we were going to dance and I intend to kill you NOW" he kept up his assault with hard punches and kicks in a superb display of his skills as a martial artist and hand-to-hand combatant, as he back flipped onto his hands with another series of spinning kick.
"Demonic man...die" he swung his wing and slashed Kami's throat as the wing metallized as he took to the air and shot sharp bladed feathers at the Ghoul, forcing him to run before his cheek and arms were nearly reduced to ribbons.
"Demonic, eh?" Kami looked at him straight in the eye "I'll show you just how right you are!"
The two clash again as Bane looks on, who will win this fight and how will this ultimately affect the lives and futures of Kami Kurosaki, Bane Asakura and the mysterious Angel, Jack Arc.
A/N - Finally finished with part one of Bane's past, who exactly is the scythe wielding Angel, Jack Arc and what are his intentions for Kami and the Ghouls now that Kami knows he isn't a Ghoul? So many questions...R&R and give your thoughts.
