Chapter 5: The Ocean Snake vs. The Soul Stealer
The gang was getting on a ship headed for a country on the other side of the ocean. The ship was like one of those old wooden ones from Earth.
"I hope you know how to swim…" said Shiro.
"What? You mean this ship isn't safe?!" screeched Joey.
"It's the safest one around… But it can still fall apart very easily if we run into a storm…" said Shiro as he headed for the railing. Zeero was hanging over the railing and the poor kitsune's eyes seemed to become those squiggly lines. "So a little sea sick?" Zeero nodded and…
"Bleagh!"
"Zeero!"
"Sorry, but… fox-demon's can't stand the sea. And I'm one of the worst swimmers of the clan! So… bleagh!"
"Zeero, we haven't even left the dock!"
"I know, but going up and down and… oh no…"
"Zeero if you're starting to feel sick maybe you should lie down…" Zeero rushed towards the life boat and hid underneath the blanket that covered the small thing. "Just don't throw up in there!"
"Do you think we'll find a way home on that other country?" asked Yugi.
"Maybe… Sonraku has tons of gateways and portals to other worlds. Some can only be activated with a password or key, while others need to be activated with… I don't know. There's more portals here than there are planets! So I don't know anything really. But, the planet Earth never was suppose to have a portal to this world, that's all I know. Strange how you all got here. If any demons knew then they'll be over there taking over within minutes!"
"Do you know anything about a silver dragon?"
"Perhaps…" The amber eyes flashed with interest. "Why?"
"Well, before we got here a dragon appeared. It opened a portal and we just found ourselves here."
"You saw Chaos!"
"Chaos?"
"Chaos is the dragon of balance, it's a dragon created by the fusion of Fury and Eternity. Fury and Eternity are also dragons with great power. It is said that anyone who gains their magic will have power beyond power, knowledge beyond knowledge. Many have tried to gain that magic, but when they get to one of the dragons they have often lost their minds by the extreme power that that one dragon has. Only one person who can tame both dragons can possess the power of Chaos. It is said that it has to be someone with a particular type of blood."
"Why would anyone want to gain that much power?"
"I can't speak for others, but me personally, I would like to have that power to destroy the Queen of Demons!"
"You're seeking the dragons too?! Why would you want to destroy the Queen of Demons?"
"Because she was the one who murdered my family…" said Shiro through gritted teeth.

They had been on the ship for several hours now, Zeero still hadn't come out from hiding, and everyone was getting extremely bored!
"Watch out mates, the Sea Serpent Demon might show up at any moment now…" said the captain.
"The what?" asked Tristan in surprise.
"It wouldn't be that serpent of water over there would it?" asked Tea. Everyone turned their heads in that direction and there it was. The demon dove underwater and came up, just glazing the ship! Katana shot an arrow at it, but it went straight through it!
"What's going on?!" she exclaimed.
"Argh, no magic nor weapon can take down that beast, make sure ya keep out of the way when it turns into ice!" shouted the captain. The serpent began to crystallize and it transformed into an ice serpent! Out of its mouth shot a torn of sharp icicles! One of then nearly cut Joey on the shoulder.
"Chaos Claw!" shouted Shiro, the attack cut the thing in half.
"Uh, is it just me, or is the thing putting itself together?" wined Tea. It was true, the demon had resembled itself and it wasn't happy!
"Zeero! Get out of there!" yelled Shiro. He reached into the boat to grab Zeero. He pulled out Kuroneko form Trigun. "Sorry about that cat." He threw the cat back in and it yowled in distaste. He grabbed Zeero and dragged him out. "Zeero, you have to help us out now!"
"But, I told you! I can't swim!" wined the kitsune. He transformed into his demon form and went slinking off into the cabin. Shiro grabbed him by the tail (all 3 of them) and hauled him out.
"Come on you little coward! If you can't defeat this thing you're never drinking SAKE again!" growled Shiro.
"Never drink SAKE again?!" Zeero's ear's sprung up and he clambered onto the top of the cabin to face the serpent.
"Careful! Magic and weapons don't work on this thing!" The serpent and turned back into ice and was shooting the icicles and Zeero now. Zeero jumped onto the icicles making his way toward the demon. Soon he ran so fast that he became a blur of ice blue.
"Soul Stealer!" Zeero's jaws grasped the demon's right eye and pulled it out, blood spewing everywhere! Then he jumped off the demon onto a nearby small iceberg, with a white glowing sphere in his mouth. The demon wasn't moving, with that Zeero crushed the sphere in his mouth and the serpent shattered. (Soul Stealer- a technique fox demons specialize in, it removes the victims soul sphere/soul and then they crush the sphere to destroy the victim)
"Hey Zeero! You said you can't swim right?" asked Shiro.
"Yeah?"
"Then get off the ice, it's melting!" Zeero looked at the ice and…
"Yipe!" squealed the fox, he leaped up into the air about 60 feet and landed in Shiro's arms. "Thanks pal!" Shiro sighed and released the cargo. "OW!"
"Look! There's the island!" yelled Yugi. Sure enough the island was there. Zeero was once again hanging over the railing.
"Uh oh…" he moaned, "Bleagh!"
"OH!"
"Yuck!"
"Gross!"
"Awww!"
"Sick!"
"Zeero!"
Shiro was nearby chuckling at Zeero who seemed to be seasick again. A shadow passed over the ship.
"What the…" Shiro looked up and saw a floating temple made out of skeletons!
===============================================================
Next Time on Heart of a Demon: Shiro here, well we finally see land and then this weird temple comes floating out way. It's the Kokkaku Temple, it is said that those who died within the temple's walls their skeletons will become part of its structure! What! What are these skeleton warriors? Every time I cut them in half they keep on putting themselves back together! What are they? And what do they want? Chapter 6: The Temple of Lost Souls. See ya!
===============================================================

Zeero- Where's the SAKE?
Zen- Forget the SAKE! What about me!? I'm still not in the fanfic!
