I am going to update………….again…..I am sorry for updating so quickly, I know you all dread to get that Email……………………….

Anyway, back to reality, Here is chapter 10 of the story.

Another Path

"Well, looks like we going to have to settle this the hard way Kamok" I said while drawing my gunblade and pointing it towards him.

I felt really tired still, so I wanted to end this quickly, and that means I am not going to toy around….but the dude is only trying to protect his turf…….but that is preventing me from sleeping…..

I started to walk around Kamok, who just stood there with his eyes closed, as I couldn't see the golden glow though the hood. I was behind him, he still hadn't turned around, well, if he wants to play hero, he can do so.

I quickly lunged out, without making a noise.

TINK

Before my blade could make contact, he had brought one of his swords up with his left hand and blocked the hit. "WHAT! How did you see that coming?"

"Your Strong, but have much to learn" Kamok said as he brought up the second blade and sliced my right thigh.

"FUCK!" I yelled as I jumped back to avoid getting cut again. "That's it fucker, time to unleash the darkness".

I stabbed my gunblade into the ground, similar to what I had done on the highway. I tensed all my muscles up and started shacking.

I felt a huge force hit my face sending me flying backwards before I could gain enough power to change.

I rolled along the ice a bit before falling off a edge and going into the spring.

"Defense was down, you are an Amateur" Kamok said calmly before putting away his blades.

"ARRRGHHHHHHHHH" I jumped out of the pool landing on the ground next to Kamok, I brought my left foot up in an attempt to kick him, the kick was easily caught and a swift punch was thrown into my gut, sending me back against one of the Ice walls, which unfortunately for me had a sharp icicle stabbing out of it, piercing my shoulder.

"I……….cannot, fall here………….." I said though my teeth as I slowly stepped forward, tearing the icicle out of me. My eyes going blacker as I lifted my head higher.

I flung my hand out towards my gun blade, it came flying towards me by some unknown force, and I grabbed the handle. "Ahhh, Kamok, you have been a suitable opponent so far, don't disappoint me now" I said with my more demonic voice.

I sounded the same way I did when I attacked Eve and Joe, except I wasn't transformed, this was similar to what happened to me when I first met Lavah, my Vampire side taking over before I reached full power.

Kamok quickly grabbed both swords and held them in a defensive position, one over his body the other covering his head. I guess he could sense the power change.

"Now, now……Kamok, no need to be scared……..the nightmare will end soon…hahahah" I used my crazy maniac laugh again….

"Xavier…..wh…what is happening………" Tsuki said off to the side.

"Quiet boy, adult time now" I said smiling towards Kamok.

I held up my left hand, pointing my index finger towards Kamok, "I havn't used Demon Magic in a long time…………………..HELL EATER!".

Kamok felt the ground shaking, he held up his swords, preparing him self for what could happen.

As I expected, my Jaws of death came out of the ice around him, quickly closing around his knee caps……seemed like he tried to jump, he just wasn't quick enough…..hehehe.

The alligator like jaws quickly clamped shut around his knees, the teeth puncturing though his legs. Kamok quickly reached down and swung his swords at the jaws holding him in place.

I clicked my fingers before he could destroy the jaws, they started glowing red before they exploded around him, sending shards of ice in all directions….but mine of course.

I saw Kamok's body lying on the floor, there was blood flowing from his knees, seemed like I shattered his knee caps, the Ice around him was quickly turning red.

"Kamok…………will Die…..with Honor" Kamok said as he quickly threw one of his blades in my direction, of course I saw it miles away and I stepped to the side. But what I didn't expect was to see Kamok quickly use a cure spell and leap towards me with the other sword.

Before the blade could connect, I brought up a shield similar to Eve's, however mine was not a full dome and only covered my front. However it stopped Kamok's blade quiet easy.

"How about we don't hide anymore Kamok" I said while exploding out my shield, which caused his hood to fly back, as well as send his body flying into the hot spring.

Kamok stood from the water, and as my thoughts were correct, he was a Ronso……….but he was a hybrid, so that's why he was here in these caves. The Ronso's thought he was a disgrace and the Humans thought he was a freak…..how sad, but not my problem.

"My god……your ugly, let me fix that for you" I joked as I fired a shot from my gunblade towards his head.

Kamok didn't have time to dodge the shot, as the water slowed his movements, so he brought up his arm to take the hit.

He roared in pain as the bullet lodged itself into the bone, his blood flowing into the steaming water, if he didn't move soon the fiends would be attracted.

"The battle is over Kamok, admit your defeat, and I will be on my way, leaving you to rot in solitude" I said, pointing the gunblade at him, emphasizing the word rot.

"Kamok…….would……die….before…surrender" he stammered out, trying to heal his arm with the small amount of energy he had left.

"So be it" I smiled while bringing up my blade to make another shot.

Xavier…………this is not your way…….this is the old you………

"Arhhhh" I yelled out while dropping my blade, clutching my head in pain.

I am sorry Xavier, but to change your ways……you cannot harm the innocent…

I dropped down to one knee, "So, it is your doing Naromi, we haven't met in a very long time………..but……….I will do as you say" why was I saying this, I had met Naromi earlier that day, I was trying to say something, but there was another force present in my mind.

Then I remembered, the Vampire King…………he shared my body with me, so although it is my past life's thoughts……..they are not mine…..so it was a different person….just with my mind still active.

I felt all my anger disappearing, my thoughts becoming clearer. But my vision was fading……I was falling into unconscious……….

I opened my eyes, to find myself laying on Ice, the previous battle coming to mind.

I sat up quickly, to see Kamok talking to Tsuki about something, my fast movements quickly alerting Kamok.

"Xavier……its good to see your okay………..wait….are you normal?" Tsuki asked

"What you mean normal, you trying to be a wise ass?" I knew what he meant, but I didn't feel like bringing up a depressing story about my insanity.

"Yep, he's fine" Tsuki said while smiling.

"Xavier, I am Kamok, son of Charlack Ronso" Kamok said while bowing his head slightly, "You defeated me in battle, you have gained my respect".

"Woh woh, wait there, I never defeated you, I got desperate………..and used powers which weren't mine………… you won" Although I felt like rubbing in my victory, I knew if it wasn't for my heritage he would of creamed me.

"Tsuki, explained why you venture, I am going to come with you, I would like a rematch when we both gain experience" Kamok said.

Well, he didn't really ask, but what the hell, the more the merrier. "Sure, we are headed to Luca, I will have to leave you there, so we can have our battle at Mi-hen" I said.

Kamok said nothing in return, only a nod of the head.

"Storm has gone, time to go should be now" Kamok suggested, picking up his blades.

"Well, since you know these mountains more, lead the way to the Calm lands" I said while pointing off in a direction, which Kamok started heading in the opposite direction to what I pointed. "Meh, never was good with direction" I said as I smiled.

Long journey short, we got to the other side of Mount Gagazet, there was a few fiend attacks, which I left for Kamok and Tsuki.

As we walked down the final trail of the mountain, the temperature was quickly rising, the sun was starting to show though the clouds, I had to put up my hood to block the light out. Kamok also had his hood up, he must be ashamed of his parents….can't blame him much, he is an ugly thing……

I looked up ahead to see a bridge, there was some guards talking to another guy, it seemed like he was trying to get though. He was wearing funny slipper like shoes and a blue tunic.

We kept walking up to the bridge, until one of the guards stopped us.

"Hey, you there, stop, further access has been denied by the order of Yevon" The guard said.

Sure it has, because Zanarkand had claimed Gagazet has there territory, Beville just had to have the Calm lands, and because we were Zanarkandians, he weren't allowed though. Although the war was over, discrimination still happened…………Bastards.

"Yeah, Sucks hey fellas, Ironic if you ask me, me being stuck at A bridge huh" The other man who was also stopped at the bridge said as he walked over to us. "The names Ottucke" he said with a smile on his face and his hand out stretched.

Me feeling weak, and Kamok not wanting to get involved with people, just stood there. So Tsuki reached forward and shook his hand.

"Rough crowd Eh" Ottucke said while laughing at his own joke.

"I just don't like the sun" I said quietly.

"Mate, you sound like some vampire….oh….wait a minute………sorry……Ah well, it's all good, your not biting me right" Ottucke said, it didn't seem to bother him that I was a vampire, but then again, how could he see though my disguise.

"That's ok Ottucke, So what is wrong with the guards" Tsuki said, stepping forward, I guess he wanted to change the discussion; he might have been afraid what I might've done.

"Ah, they just following orders, but I really need to get to Luca, so I think I might have to go the long way" Ottucke said while scratching his head.

"Luca" My eyes shot up, "We need to go there too, do you think you could show us this other way?" I asked, looking away from the sun a bit.

"Sure, we could travel together, but it's a bit dangerous, But I think you will be fine, HAHA" Ottucke said.

"Other path…….Where is it?" Kamok spoke up for the first time.

"Well, we go down that path over there" Ottucke pointed to a path winding down and under the bridge. "Then we gotta travel down into the Canyon, and around the Calm lands"

I knew why he said I would be fine, many of the remaining vampires lived in the Caves which inhabited the Canyon under the Calm Lands.

"What about you, I am guessing you have gone though there before as you know the area?" Tsuki questioned.

"Although I don't look like it, I am part Troll, I am built for this terrain, I can zip though there" Ottucke said.

"hahahahahaha" Tsuki burst out laughing "Oh….sorry..hehehe….I just got your bridge joke earlier"

"Oh yeah, that…Hahaha" Ottucke joined in the laughing.
