Chapter 11: Back-Up Guardians
"Yuki!" a woman's voice laughed, "Yuki! I have great news!"
Yukiteru turned to her, "What is it, Natsumi?"
Natsumi giggled, "I'm having another baby! Gora will be having a baby brother or sister!"
Yukiteru grinned, "That's wonderful!" He hugged his wife tightly and kissed her.
Natsumi messed with her long orange hair and smiled, "I feel a great power too…our child will be strong, Yuki! He or she will be the best God or Goddess of Love ever!" Yukiteru nodded, "Yes…"
Natsumi giggled and hugged her husband tightly.
-
Four months had passed and Gora along with Yukiteru began to make room for the heir. Natsumi was delighted, and she even began to feel more power from the baby too.
"Yuki, I fear for our child…Perlite has warned me about things. He sees someone harming him or her."
Yukiteru sighed, "Yes, but Yami has already told me that our child will be fine."
Natsumi nodded, "I know, but I've had dreams…and Perlite is the God of Time…no offense, but I don't trust Yami."
Yukiteru frowned, "I know, Natsumi." He kissed her cheek and placed a hand on her swollen stomach, "It'll be okay. For our child, will have guardians to protect them." "Guardians? Why does our child need them?"
"He does because the parents of the Gods of Water, Wind, Earth, and Fire have all requested their sons to take care of our child."
"Oh, alright." She smiled and Yukiteru grabbed her hand. "Don't worry, my dear Goddess of Peace…everything will be alright."
-
Yumoto held onto Io and Ryuu's hands and whispered, "You two were the best teachers an heir could ask for…"
Araki put a hand on Yumoto's shoulder. "Yumoto…I…I know this hurts."
Yumoto looked at him with tears in his eyes "I-I know…my guardians are Gods! How can their souls be taken?!"
"Yumoto, please…any God can be killed."
"Yes! Only other Gods can get rid of them! In fact, the God of Death is the only one who can! He doesn't even like to kill any God!" Yumoto replied and Kinshiro walked over to them.
"The heir is right. The God of Death doesn't enjoy killing Gods and only will if the God of Love tells them too."
Araki nodded and Akoya spoke, "The God of Death hasn't killed another God or Goddess for hundreds of years. In fact, Yami is able to do that because of what happened to him."
"Huh? What happened to Yami?" Yumoto asked and Akoya closed his blue eyes, "I'll tell you…"
-
Yami sighed as he walked with Kotaro into the Library of the Gods. "Yukiteru and Natsumi don't understand…their child will bring upon destruction! The heir will be so powerful…" "So, what does that mean?" Kotaro asked and Yami smiled at his bird partner, his amber eyes shining. "Well…it means he'll be a great God of Love…but…" he frowned, "He will be a threat to many demons and evils."
Kotaro sighed, "Oh…"
Yami looked down, "We don't need to worry about that…for they have already banished me from their son!"
He gasped as he saw a book open on the ground. "The Book of Sealing!" He ran to it and picked it up "Why is this opened?!" Kotaro frowned, "Yami-san, we shouldn't mess with it!"
"I don't care…the heir is a threat to me…" He hissed and Kotaro gasped as a dark shadow surrounded him, "Yami-san, stop!"
Yami began to scream and Kotaro gasped as a shadow surrounded him too.
As the dark shadow disappeared, Yami's amber eyes were now blue and his outfit was now darker and his white staff was now grey. He smirked, "Kotaro…let's get ourselves the heir."
- "NO! NO!" The God of Trade screamed, "God of Truth don't do this! Maximum Gorar and God of Light, please help me!"
Yami laughed manically as he held up his staff. "God of Light, watch your back! For you are a mere babe still…but I will soon be after you!" He yelled and Kotaro chirped, "Yes, yes! We will get the heir!"
The God of Trade whispered, "T-The Battle Lovers…they won't let you near the heir!"
Yami growled, "Who!?"
"The guardians of the God of Light! You won't get close to him as long as the Battle Lovers and Caerula Adamas are there!"
Yami smacked the God of Trade with his staff, "Then I will kill them too!"
The god hissed, "Go to hell! You deserve to be with Hireashi! Sealed away forever!"
The God of Truth smirked, "Good idea. The demon lord needs another worker."
The God of Trade gasped, "NO!"
"Silence. Maximum Gorar won't save you this time…"
"NO!"
-
Yumoto froze, "H-he killed the God of Trade?!"
"No." Kinshiro replied, "He trapped them…and they haven't been seen since."
Yumoto looked at him, "Then we need to stop him! Let's go!"
Ibushi frowned. "No. We will."
Yumoto looked at Ibushi, "I-Ibu-chan-senpai…please don't! I-I can't lose you too!" He cried and ran to him. He hugged Ibushi tightly, like he did when he was younger and cried, "I-I love you, Argent!"
Ibushi held Yumoto tightly, "I love you too, Little One."
"Oh, how sweet." A voice spoke and Ibushi gasped, "You! How did you get in here again!?"
"Leave, Yami!" Yukiteru's voice yelled and Yami smirked, "I'm just here for your son…"
"Don't hurt him! He's my only heir!"
Araki growled and pulled out his sword. He ran towards Yami, "Leave Scarlet alone!"
Yami blocked his sword and Araki screamed as he was shot back. "Araki!" Yumoto cried and Yami held up four orbs. "Want your guardian's back?"
Yumoto froze, "Gi-Give them back!" He screamed and ran towards Yami. He pushed him down, "You hurt many gods and you probably hurt my real mama too! Give my step-in mama, papa and my teacher's souls back!"
Yami growled as Yumoto grabbed them and Kinshiro shot Yami with an orb from his sword. "Stay down!"
Yumoto ran to his guardians and let each orb sink back in.
Yami stood up and shot energy towards Yumoto. Yumoto gasped out as he couldn't move.
Yukiteru gasped, "Yumoto!"
Yami turned to Yukiteru, "I'm giving your son to Hireashi…I know many have tried this…but this time I will succeed."
Yukiteru paled, "No! Please, harm me instead, Yami! Yumoto is just a child!"
Yami laughed, "I don't care."
"Papa!" Yumoto cried and his guardians slowly opened their eyes. Atsushi screamed, "Yumoto! En-chan, he has Yumoto!"
En looked at Yami and growled, "Dammit…!"
Yami smirked and cried out as he was hit.
Ibushi grabbed Yumoto, "Don't touch Scarlet." Yumoto whimpered and Yami growled, "Fine! I won't take him…this time…but I'll be back."
With that, he disappeared and Yumoto ran to his guardians. Io smiled, "Did you save us?"
Yumoto nodded and Ryuu grinned, "Good job, kid. Now we can continue with your lessons."
Yumoto frowned "Awww."
En looked at Atsushi, "Yumoto is in danger…we need to stop that guy."
Atsushi nodded, "Yes I know, En-chan. We'll stop him…we have to."
Kinshiro sighed as Akoya whispered, "We haven't heard from the Beppu brothers lately…we better figure out why."
Kinshiro nodded, "Yes…and we will. Then we can stop the former God of Truth."
