Destiny's Magic

ch 8

As the fight between the demon lord and Meih was about to begin, Kento and Kaye were having problems of their own. Different types of demons were coming from vortexes that were popping up from every area of the room. They started to fly around Kento and Kaye, sniffing around them like dogs. "Magic, strong magic, I smell from them, deep within, not unleashed yet." a fox demon said as it and the others continued to sniff around.

"What you're smelling fox boy, is the magic of our armor, and you'll get a taste of it when we're free, and kicking your sorry tail!" Kento replied angrily with his eyes blazing.

"No, that's not the magic that he's talking about. This is a different type of magic, a century's old family magic." the snake demon hissed as his forked tongue vibrated.

Kento's eyes widened as he realized what magic they were talking about. "Maybe we can tap into their magic ourselves." Kento and Kaye looked towards each other with a hint of fear in each other's eyes.

The fox demon narrowed his eyes in deep thought. "No, let's save that pleasure for our lord and his priestess, as well as their drones."

"Aw, that's no fun, but I do suppose you do bring up a good point, but that doesn't mean we can't have fun while we wait." the snake demon replied with a deadly gaze as it swayed between Kento and Kaye, as he was trying to decide on who to strike first.

'Oh man, why does this place have to have so many twists and turns. I swear, it's worse than the maze back home.' Taea thought in annoyance as he continued to try and find them. As Taea was running, a jaguar demon was leaping across the tops of the maze chasing Taea. 'What the?' Taea finally senses that he's being followed.

He stopped and stood up, waiting for his pursuer as he searched for his talisman and parchment. The jaguar demon saw that he was sensed, he growled and then leaped down to the floor in front of Taea.

"Well, you found me, so now what?" Taea asked as he started to pull out his magical objects.

"I can smell magic coming from you. It's not the same magic as the Rei Fauns', but it's still magic none the less, and I shall take it from you." the jaguar demon replied as he stared him down.

"Well you're half right, I do have magic and I am a Rei Faun, but where you're wrong is in the fact that I'm just going to let a low level demon like you take my magic away from me so easily." Taea said in a challenging tone.

"We shall see." the jaguar demon replied as he went into a fighting stance. The jaguar demon watched and wondered as he waited to make his move. 'Why is he just standing there? Does he have something up his sleeve?'

"Look, are we going to stand here all day, or are we going to fight? I have places to go and people to save, so unless we're going to do this, I suggest that you get out of my way." Taea said as he gave his ultimatum. The jaguar demon growled, and then his eyes flickered, in a blink of an eye, he leaped high into the air and got ready to pounce. Taea was ready for this as he smirked, and pulled out his talisman and parchment. Taea chanted quickly and called forth an entity that looked somewhat like a wolf standing in front of him ready to fight.

"What!?" the jaguar demon asked angrily as he landed just short of them.

"You looked surprised, what? Haven't you ever seen a wolf that's made entirely by lightning? In case you've missed it the first time, his name is Thunder, and he's more than ready to fight. Aren't ya boy?" Taea asked with a smirk as they kept their eyes on the jaguar demon. Thunder gave a growl in the jaguar demon's way as it stood there. "Thunder, lightning and thunder attack! Go!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dark Lighter, Meih, and Fight stood there, just watching each other like an old western showdown. The demon lord smirked as he was forming his plan. "What's so

funny? Is it the fact that we're going to kick your sorry ass so amusing to you?" Meih asked skeptically.

"No, it's just the fact, after all this time that you even would still be fighting demons, I thought that you would be dead and gone by now." the demon lord replied as a twinkle of danger went off in the corner of his eyes.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but there hasn't been a demon that I couldn't fight, especially with the help from my magic." Meih replied as she wondered where he was going with this.

"True, I guess that does give you some kind of advantage, especially since you've been alive for the last two hundred years." the demon lord said in slight amusement.

"So kind of you to remember, if you weren't the demon lord, then I might actually be flattered." Meih replied with a smirk.

"Enough of this, let's get down to business." Dark Lighter said hotly as he reached in and took out a talisman and a parchment of his own. "You're not the only one Meih, that knows about the magic that you possess." A little girl in puffy pants materialized beside the demon lord.

"You're using Power against Fight. Huh, interesting choice, considering that only the Rei Fauns and Tsungs know exactly how to use this magic." Meih replied as she and Fight got ready to rumble.

"And you're forgetting who was the one to increase the Tsungs' powers in the first place. Causing them to be able to over power you Rei Fauns for almost half a century. Besides, there's more than one way to use this magic." Dark Lighter said as his eyes and Power's eyes glowed the same color. Meih and Fight were still in

fighting position, but they took a step back, not knowing what to expect. As soon as the demon lord reached a certain power level, he and Power fused together, increasing his strength a hundred fold.

"No, it can't be...There's no way that the entities could be used in that fashion?!" Meih replied in disbelief.

"You're so wrong Meih, just like to everything else, there are corners that can be cut, especially if you're a demon lord. So that means I can manipulate any magic that comes my way, and make it do whatever I want." Dark Lighter said as he laughed. Before either of them could defend, the demon lord attacked them head on, causing Fight and Meih to split apart. "Looks like we, oh I'm sorry, I meant you might have a slight problem." The demon lord attacked Meih with such speed and strength that she could barely put up a defense. Then as he was going to increase in power, Fight came between them and to her best ability, blocked the on coming attack.

Meih's eyes went wide as she watched Fight fall to the ground and fade away, as her form went back to the parchment. "No..." Meih said quietly as she shook her head.

"Oh yes, and now I need something from you that will provide useful to me in my plan for when I deal with the two Rei Fauns." Dark Lighter replied with an evil smirk as he knocked out Meih. "There we go, now you'll won't be needing this anytime soon." The demon lord mused as he took out a talisman and a parchment that had the entity that looked like an old woman facing right holding a blue clock. "It looks like you won't be using Return for a while. Pity, that entity might have helped you to prevent me from destroying every single Rei Faun past, present, and future." The demon lord takes Return and then fades away.

'Aunt Meih?' Taea thought in concern as he and Thunder stopped in mid action.

The jaguar demon noticed that Taea seemed to be preoccupied about something. "Hey boy, what's the matter? You seem concerned about something, or should I say someone?" The jaguar demon asked with a smirk.

Taea and Thunder growled, "it's none of your business! Come on, we're wasting time!" Taea replied as he and Thunder got ready to fight again.

"If you're in that much of a hurry to be killed, then so be it." the jaguar demon said as he attacked in full furry. The speed and agility of the jaguar demon took Taea and Thunder by complete surprise. So much of a surprise that they could barely put up a defense.

'Damn!' Taea cursed angrily as he and Thunder glared at him.

The jaguar demon laughed, "what's the matter boy, am I too fast for you?" the jaguar demon asked in amusement. Just as he was going to reply, Taea noticed that Thunder for some reason was actually limping.

'What!? How could that be possible!? He couldn't have injured Thunder like that, could he!?' Taea thought in concern as he caught Thunder's glance.

"Aww, the poor wolf is injured. I know, I'll put it out of it's misery, it'll be quick and painless." the jaguar demon said as he made a dark substance of some kind envelop Thunder completely. The wolf tried to struggle out, but it made no difference it was defeated, as it faded and went back to the parchment. Taea lowered his head, he couldn't believe that actually happened. But in that split second that he took his eyes off of the jaguar demon, he attacked and knocked Taea out cold.

"I would suggest that you all would back away from those two, unless of course you'd want a repeat demonstration of my powers on you." Dark Lighter warned as he appeared back in the room.

"Dark Lighter! Ah, no my lord, we were just..." the snake demon replied as they were backing away from Kento and Kaye.

"Never mind what you were thinking of doing. It's time, call forth the priestess and her followers." the demon lord ordered.

"Yes, of course my lord." the fox demon replied as he and the others did as they were told. In no time, a demon priestess and her followers came out from behind a group of smaller demons. A path was made so they would be able to get to their destination.

"Nara, it's good to see that you could join us." Dark Lighter said with an evil grin.

"Is it time my lord?" Nara asked in curiosity as she looked over towards their captives.

"Yes Nara, it's time." the demon lord replied as Kento and Kaye were floated down in front of them, still being restrained. They tried so hard to get free, but the

more they struggled, the worse the pain was. "Why can't either of you get it through your heads that it's useless to even try to get free? Besides, what I have planned for the two of you won't take very long anyway." The demon lord positioned himself in front of Kaye, while Nara did the same to Kento. They looked towards each other, and exchanged evil grins. Nara quickly motioned for four of her followers, one on her left, one on her right, while the other two were doing the same with the demon lord. Then the followers drew out a ceremonial dagger, and sliced a long and deep gash in both hands of Nara and Dark Lighter. Their blood ran freely from their cuts. Then they did the same to Kento and Kaye, they screamed in agonizing pain, Nara and Dark Lighter just laughed. Then the followers stepped away from them and waited for the next step in the ritual.

"Now the real fun begins." Nara said as she started to get in extremely close to Kento, close enough that he could feel her breath on his face. Dark Lighter also closed the gap on Kaye. Then at the same time both Dark Lighter and Nara started to seductively tear away their clothing starting with their shirts. As Nara was caressing Kento's chest with her bloody hands, Dark Lighter took off Kaye's bra, and then started to roam her body. Kento and Kaye closed their eyes, they couldn't believe what was happening. Then the demon lord's and Nara's hands slowly ran down to their jeans and quickly tore them off, and same with their underwear, leaving them totally naked. Dark Lord and Nara were now looking at them up and down, they then stripped as well. Nara again motioned over towards her followers. They nodded back and then Dark Lord and Nara got in close and tight to Kento and Kaye, as they were face to face, the demon lord and Nara took their hands and pressed them tightly against Kento's and Kaye's, matching gashes for gashes. They tightened their grip so tight that no matter how hard they tried to pull away, they wouldn't be able to. Then they curled their fingers between theirs to make the bond even tighter. Out of nowhere, two chains appeared and wrapped their naked bodies tightly together. Once that was finished, the followers opened their books and started to chant, a mist floated from the books and onto the chained couples. After the mist enveloped them, a bright light came from the followers' eyes and shot out towards them. The light went inside of Kento and Kaye, it dug so deep that their insides felt like they were on fire. Then when the time was right, Dark Lighter and Nara forcefully kissed them, plunging their tongues deep inside their throats. They thrusted in deeper until they found what they were looking for, and then as they pulled away, a bright orange and silver light imitated from Kento and Kaye. Encircling around the chained couples, and then not knowing which vessel to return to, the demon lord and Nara swallowed their magic whole. The light that was around them finally faded as soon as Nara's followers vanished, as well as did the chains that were around them. Nara and Dark Lighter stepped back from Kento's and Kaye's unconscious bodies.

"Was that as good for you as it was for me?" Dark Lighter asked with evil satisfaction as he felt Kaye's magic within him.

"Maybe, even better." Nara replied with a wicked grin as she started to feel Kento's magic inside her. The two of them finally got dressed, "you know, we just can't leave them like that."

"Nara, are you getting soft?" Dark Lighter asked as he raised an eyebrow at her.

"Oh no my lord. By no means, it's just that the other demons might get ideas, and well we're still not finished with them yet." Nara replied with a seductive grin.

"You do seem to have a point, Nara. Well then at least we can clothe them for now. We'll figure out what to do with them later." the demon lord said as his eyes flashed and then Kento and Kaye were clothed with torn, old-ragged clothing, and then they were raised up to where they were before. "Now, no demon is to touch them, and if they do, then they'll meet a fate far worse than death."

At the same time, in a different place outside of Hong Kong, the other Ronins clutched their heads and screamed in excruciating pain, as they couldn't take it any more and finally fell to the ground unconscious.
