Chapter 12: The Oni
Disclaimer: I don't own Devil May Cry, or Onimusha (This is the last time I say this disclaimer, it's getting….old.)
Alec was able to use the distraction in order to use his foot to slide the hammer out of Karil's hands. Originally his plan was to end the kiss there, however, something weird happened: he didn't want to stop. The feel of her soft cherry red lips, the heady sensation, and the warmth generating from her body being so close to his. It made him feel great. Up until Karil came back to her own senses.
Karil herself, while infuriated at first, felt the hammer being kicked out of her hand and soon after was lost in the sensation. The adrenaline still pumping through her body kept logic locked away; she was soon feeling the same things that Alec was. However, she was soon infuriated with him again, why one might ask: This was her first kiss, and he was pretty much stealing it. She had never really had time for boys, even in school. They were either intimidated by her strength and stamina, or were turned off by her tomboyish-ness. So she had dated some guys, however, nothing past kisses on the cheek or anything like that.
Instead of simply pulling away she had a better idea. With Alec, amazingly flexible as he was, having knocked the sword away from her, being in the position he was at the moment, it made it easy for her to get revenge. She simply brought her leg up with as much power as she could. The after effect was as expected.
Alec automatically lifted his head up and let out a simple "Ow."
He then rolled over a few times before planting the sword in the ground and used it as a crutch in order to try and regain his footing.
"Was that REALLY necessary?" asked Alec as he looked over to Karil.
"Not really, but I did enjoy it." replied Karil as she leaned up on her elbows.
"Hah. The part where you kicked me in the nuts, or was it the kiss?" questioned Alec somewhat snidely.
Karil had no reply to this, mainly because she had liked both kicking him and kissing him as well.
"Hn, thought so." said Alec as he managed to stand back up once more.
"Interesting tactic, Child of Angelus, very original." said Matier once she and Lucia had made their way over.
"Yeah, I thought so too. Here, need a hand?" asked Alec to Karil.
"If you ever pull something like that again, I can't be held responsible for my actions." warned Karil once she was back on her feet.
Alec only laughed at that.
Time Skip: A Day Later
After explaining the situation to Lucia they made their way over to Trish's homes in England. Both women had agreed to assist them. Now, they were back. Alec had placed his sword in his dojo while Karil had left hers at her parents place, with a warning of its power and, luckily enough they didn't catch them in an intimate moment. Now they were at Alec's waiting for Alec to think of people to call for help. Though Dante was a famous Demon-Hunter, he never really had that many people to call on. He never really made too many friends that gave him any contact info, just those who helped him on missions then they went their separate ways.
Karil came into the room wearing a thin black tank top with a pair of Spider-man pajama bottoms. She had entered Alec's living room to find him out on the couch wearing a pair of loose black shorts that went down just below his knees. She was able to notice he had a few more scars on him, she also had to admit that shirtless, he did look good, scars and all, but that didn't really matter at the moment.
Karil got an evil idea in her head as she moved closer toward Alec.
"I don't know what amazes me: your fascination with a Marvel comic character, or your gluttony for pranks and scaring the living hell out of me." said Alec as he opened his left eye and looked up at Karil.
"Dammit, how did you know I was coming?" asked Karil poutingly.
"I wasn't asleep. Or more, I wasn't completely asleep."
"Well then, have you thought of the other three people that are going to be helping?"
"Yeah, I have. Their names are Sylvia Trask, Ballasus Cage, and Dorian Yuki."
"Alright, and what experience do they have?"
"Sylvia is a dog demon from China. She's been around for about a millennia. I've met her a few times on a few missions and she's also a friend of my mom. Ballasus, is a half-demon, snake. I ran into him while I was up against a clan of Shadow's. He's pretty powerful and has helped me a few other times. Dorian…"
"What, he's not a demon?" asked Karil as she leaned against the wall opposite of Alec and next to the big screen T.V.
"Well, yes and no. He's part of a clan of Ogre like demons called the Oni. Thousands of years ago the Oni fought demons called Genma. The Genma won and scattered the Oni. Skip to five hundred years later Nobunaga Oda died on the battlefield. However, the Genma brought him back. Around this time he captured Azuchi castle. There Samanosuke Akechi fought the Genma Lord Fortinbras. He won, but Nobunaga took his place. After that Jubei Yagyu, half-oni, took on Nobunaga once more and won. Nobunaga was re-born and was fought by Samanosuke once more; he won, and sealed Nobunaga in his gauntlet."
"Alright, so what does this have to do with Dorian?" interupted Karil impatiently.
"This does take a bit. Just bear with me a little more. Anyway, after Nobunaga his General Hideyoshi Toyotomi, formerly Tokichiro Kinoshta, took over and united Japan under his rule. He recalled the Genma while he was under the control of the Triumvirate, who were aiming to revive their God of Light. However, a Oni member named Hideyasu Yuki, along with a small group of people, Roberto Frois, Ohatsu Oda (Nobunaga's niece), Jubei Akane Yagyu (Granddaughter of the older Jubei Yagyu), and Tenkai Nankobo, formerly Samanosuke Akechi, took on the Triumvirate and won. Now, they won because Hideyasu, then known as Soki the Oni of the Ash, became the Oni God of Darkness and took on their God of Light Fortinbras. However, he sacrificed himself to seal the Omen star, where the God of Light comes from. After everyone went their separate ways, Akane Yagyu went searching for him. She eventually found when she was 19 him in what is now known as Kyoto, eventually they were married. Dorian is a descendant of theirs."
"Ah, so it took all of that just to explain to me who Dorian was?"
"Yeah, pretty much. Anyway, the Genma demons can only be ended by the blade of an Oni; we would have no effect on them. Emaphis knows this, that's why he will probably send them after us, which is why we need Dorian."
"Alright alright, after that explanation I agree with you. Now I have one more question: Why did you kiss me back at Lucia's?" asked Karil.
Truth of the matter was that Alec had expected this, but still nothing had prepared him for it. But the best thing he could think to do at the moment was simple: tell the truth.
"Alright, for two reasons: 1.It was a good distraction, and 2. I wanted to."
"Oh, really, well then, why did you want to?"
Alec sighed for a moment before answering.
"Because I like you, as in LIKE you."
"So, you'd like to be my boyfriend, right?"
"Pretty much." said Alec with a bit of a stupid smile on his face.
Before Alec could react Karil had flown over the coffee table and land right on Alec before pushing him back down on the couch.
"I do have to ask, what you are doing?" asked Alec.
"Sleeping with you, of course, isn't that what boyfriends and girlfriends living together do?"
"To quote your father: "I love a fast woman."
"I'll smack you for that one later, right now I'm too tired." said Karil, yawning the last part.
"Alright, hold on a second."
Alec then flipped over on his side and brought Karil with him. She then turned with her back facing him before turning her head toward his. She was lost in his eyes for a moment before she leaned her face forward and kissed him. It was something they had both enjoyed, and now Alec didn't have to worry about painful after-effect.
Karil then used Alec's outstretched arm as a pillow while Alec used his other arm to draw a blanket over them before allowing that arm to rest on her stomach, falling asleep soon after.
