Chapter 7: The Demon Invasion
/What happened? Where are we?/
//Well we're not in Sonraku anymore…//
Yugi and the others appeared to have returned to Earth!
"Alright! Now things are back to normal!" said Joey.
"Aye! Those are scary demons!" yell what Yugi and the others hoped was not Zeero. It was, it seemed that the cars passing by had scared the little kitsune silly!
"Actually there're cars." said Tristan.
"What's a car?" asked Akio. Yugi and company turned to find Akio, Katana, and Shiro standing behind them.
"Uh oh…" muttered Yugi. This was bad, they were back on Earth, but it seems that the Sonraku gang had accidentally followed them. "We better get back to my place before someone see us." The snuck back into the game shop without anyone spotting them. The Sonraku gang wasn't accustom to cars and stoplights so you can imagine how much they freaked out Zeero.
In the game shop they had to figure out how to keep the demons from being see. Katana was easy to hide since she was human, Akio's only problem was his elven ears, but Shiro and Zeero were the ones they had to worry about, with ears and tails like that a person would have to be very stupid to ignore those.
"Any plans?" asked Tristan. They had tried to hide their ears and tails, but were running out of ideas fast. Zeero couldn't stand trying on another hat so he was now cowering under the bed refusing to come out. Akio was getting annoyed and Shiro had refused to try anything on.
"Just one, I can turn myself into my human-form. Nut since you all wouldn't listen I couldn't explain anything." said Shiro. He then transformed into the dark hair version of himself, but this time his eyes remained amber.
"How'd you do that?" asked Joey.
"When we passed through the gate to Earth this was just a new ability we picked up." said Zeero coming out of the bed. Instead of having fox ears he had human ears and his tail had vanished. "So, anyone have SAKE around here?"
"Uh no, but here." said Joey handing him a can of coke.
"What's this?" asked Zeero.
"It's coke, just try it." He probably shouldn't have given Zeero caffeine.
"Yahoo!" Zeero was now bouncing around so fast one could mistake him for a basket ball. Katana put a stop to this by whacking Zeero with a mallet.
"That's just great! Now you've got him hooked!" muttered Katana.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I can't get this problem!" moaned Yugi trying to finish his algebra homework. After all that time in Sonraku only a few hours had passed on Earth. But he still had a lot of homework left and it was all due tomorrow! He crumpled the sheet of paper and threw it behind his back. Shiro held out the trashcan so that it landed in. Then Kuroneko popped out of the can.
"Meow!"
"Now I know I've seen you before!" said Shiro. With another meow Kuroneko disappeared under the trash and vanished leaving a very confused Shiro. Katana was spending the night at Tea's, Zeero went with Joey hoping to get more caffeine, and Akio followed Tristan. Shiro looked out at the sky, for a world so different from his own there were a few things still the same, like the bright moon and the little stars that dotted the sky.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After school the next day Yugi and the others rushed out the door to see what the Sonraku group was up to. Zeero was sleeping in a tree, Katana was reading, Akio was practicing his techniques with a wooden sword, and Shiro was looking around at the scenery.
"(Yawn) 'Bout time you all came back! We're getting real bored!" yawned the kitsune.
"So, what are we suppose to do now?" asked Akio. The gang wasn't use to the city life, the cars freaked out Zeero, Katana couldn't stand the noises, Akio didn't like the attitudes that a lot of people possessed, and Shiro didn't enjoy the land, too many buildings and too little trees. "We can't stay here!"
"I guess we have to look for a way home." said Shiro.
"Where do we begin?" asked Tea.
"I think we should look at night, that way people won't be so suspicious of us snooping around." suggested Shiro.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The night wasn't such a good idea, the lights freaked Zeero out a lot more than the cars!
"Shiro, I don't see anything that resembles the gate!" complained Akio.
"Keep looking!" said Shiro. Then a rustling in the bushes caught his attention. "What the…" A preying-mantas-demon appeared.
"AH! Mother!" yelled Zeero. Then a ton of other demons of all kinds, sizes, and shapes began to appear out of nowhere! The people pf Domino City were under attack by Sonraku demons. The police tried to fight them off, but the weapons they possessed did not work against them. Then Shiro and the others changed back into their original forms.
"Hey! Change back, we can't let the police see you!" yelled Joey.
"Sorry, but we have to help!" said Shiro. He charged at the preying-mantas. It was standing over a police officer about to devour him, the man covered his eyes for the piercing pain was about to come. It never did, he peeked open one eye and saw a young boy with a pair of cat-like ears and a tail fending off the demon. "Don't just sit there! Get out!" The man stumbled and ran out of the way as Shiro sliced the thing in half.
Things weren't going well for the next few minutes too many demons were attacking them from all side. Shiro and the others already had a lot of wounds and cuts on them. Grinning evilly the demons advanced.
"Everyone get down!" yelled Shiro. No one hesitated to obey that order, as soon as everyone was one the ground Shiro used his own blood to create sharp spikes and defeated the enemy with the spikes by shooting out the spikes at them. He collapsed as soon as the enemy had vanished.
"Shiro, are you alright?" asked Yugi.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine in a few seconds. I have demon's blood remember, it speeds up the healing process."
"The Blood of Chaos attack, I've heard of it! Very powerful and can often kill the user if they'd lost too much blood." said Zeero.
"Alright, we need an explanation!" said the policeman. There was a crowd of people surrounding them now.
"Well, I guess I'm not needed anymore!" said Shiro who had suddenly recovered. He jumped onto the nearest building and speed away. Katana and Akio had also mysteriously vanished and now everyone's gaze was set on Zeero.
"Mother I didn't do it!" he cried as he turned into a fox and speed away. While the crowd stared after the fox Yugi and company slowly backed away and disappeared into the alleyway.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"That's just perfect! Now the police are snooping around for us! There's no way we can find the portal like this!" whined Zeero. Since last night the police had been searching for the demons. Lucky they were in their human forms when the police searched the card shop. "How are we ever going to get home!" Just then the door opened giving Zeero a nice greeting with the wall. Seto Kaiba and Mai were at the door.
"Alright, someone start talking!" barked Kaiba.
"Who're they?" asked Shiro.
"The guy's Kaiba and that over there's Mai." said Tristan.
"We saw you guys on the news, they also mentioned something about demons. What is going on?!" asked Mai. Shiro, Akio, and Katana turned their heads as those the walls had suddenly become interesting.
"I'm okay…" muttered Zeero as he crawled out of the door. Opps, he was in his demon form. Kaiba smacked him on the head with his suitcase. "Ow! What'd you do that for!?" asked the kit rubbing his head.
"You all have some explaining to do!" said Kaiba.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So let me get this straight, you're from this world called Sonraku. There there's demons, monsters, spirits, humans, and some other stuff. What are you doing on Earth then!?" asked Mai, she and Kaiba were having a hard time swallowing the fact that there was a demon, a half-demon, an elf, and a demon-huntress on their planet.
"We got here by accident, now we have to go back to Sonraku before more demons start to invade the Earth." said Shiro.
"Why do demons want to come to Earth anyways?" asked Kaiba.
"… I don't really know." said Shiro (he was crossing his fingers behind his back).
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
They took Kaiba's limo around to see if they could find any sign of a portal back to Sonraku. It took them a few hours to convince Zeero the car wasn't a demon ready to eat him alive.
"That's the alleyway where we saw the Chaos Dragon." said Joey.
"That'll be a good place to look for a portal." said Shiro.
They got out and started examining the area. Zeero opened the lid of the trashcan and Kuroneko popped out. Then when Zeero closed the lid and opened it again the cat was gone. After that Zeero started to pock his head around in the trashcans looking for the cat.
"Zeero, turn into your demon form and see if you can pick up some kind of scent." said Katana. Zeero did, the three-tailed fox snuffed around for a while, since he wasn't keeping an eye on where he was going he ran smack into a wall. When he rubbed his nose everything around them became dark. A long black dragon appeared before them, it looked exactly like the white dragon, Eternity, except it was black and it had a pair of red, slanted, glowing eyes.
"It's Fury." muttered Shiro in awe. The dragon let out a powerful roar and then the group vanished from the alleyway.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" they all yelled as they fell down the darkness of the portal.
"You must be the one to close the gate…" said a soft voice. It seemed to come from everywhere in the shadows. Soon the darkness swallowed them completely and they remembered no more of what happened in the darkness except for the voice that said, "If you fail, then all is lost…"
===============================================================
Next time on Heart of a Demon: Hi, this is Hoshi. So the gang crash lands in a forest and a group a of mean looking cat-spirits show up. Lucky they're from my tribe so they won't hurt anyone that I say is a friend. So when they come into the Koneko tribe's village the leader offers to teach them how to summon the monsters from their cards. But it seems that after the had mastered the technique Kariudo reappears, and this time he wants someone to be sacrificed for a ritual to revive the evil cat-demon, Saber-Tora. I hope I'm not the one needed to be sacrificed! Chapter 8: Summonings and Sacrifices! See ya soon!
