Forbidden Child
Ch 10
"Tenkuyo…" Tai whispered as a twinge of fear was laced upon her voice.
The demon gave a ferial grin that could run a person's blood cold. His eyes gleamed with a dangerous enjoyment of what he had done. It was like he had no remorse for the dead people lying in the road. His claws were crimson from the blood of his victims. His grin widened as he splattered the blood from his claws towards the paved road.
Their dead eyes pleaded with them for a way to be revenged because of the way their lives were unjustly taken. Their spirits were drawn into Tenkuyo. Instantly, the spirits started to turn into shadow creatures. Their bodies flared up into fireballs and then quickly burned into nothing but ash.
"You know, their deaths could have been avoided if you've given me the talisman in the first place." Tenkuyo replied as he eyed Tai.
Kento's eyes flared, he balled his fists as he glared heatedly at him. "Don't even blame Tai for this! You're the one that acted like a raven lunatic and killed all of these people, not her!"
"Perhaps you're right, maybe it isn't her fault. I did kill all of these worthless people. They didn't really serve much of a purpose for me anyway." Tenkuyo scoffed in amusement. "Now, will you or will you not hand over your talisman?"
Tai grasped onto the talisman she wore, "No! I won't hand it over to a heartless demon like you!"
Tenkuyo smirked, "I can see that you have your father's fighting spirit burning inside. That will make it even more enjoyable as I take it from you."
"You won't even come close to laying a hand on her!" Kento shot at him angrily. A loud bang, a second, and then a third loud bang hit upon the door from behind them. Finally, after the third attempt, the demon that was following them popped up. It was breathing hard, blood dripped from its mouth, its long arms hung loosely from its body. They whirled around and then the guys formed a tight circle around Tai and Josey.
"It looks like you have a situation to deal with, or should I say two situations?" Tenkuyo replied as he crossed his arms and looked down at them. "So I'd suggest that you reconsider your decision, or your fates will be theirs."
"Evidently, you don't know who you're dealing with." Rowen shot back as they got into defensive position.
"Ronin Warriors, to arms!" Ryo called out. The others nodded and then each of them called upon their sub armors.
"Ryo, we need to form the circle." Sage informed as he glanced over at him.
"Right," Ryo nodded, "Form the circle!" The Ronins ran in a circle as their yoroi's auras made the mystical barrier around Tai and Josey. Each of their kanjis glowed upon their foreheads.
"Virtue!" Ryo called out as his armor moved into position.
"Life!" Rowen called after.
"Justice!" Kento called out as his eyes blazed.
"Trust!" Cye called upon as he frowned deeply.
"Wisdom!" Sage called after.
The armors connected to each other mystically, as they quickly completed the circle.
"Whatever happens, stay inside of the circle, it'll help protect you while we're fighting." Cye told them as he glanced at the two.
"Be careful, he doesn't look that easy to take down!" Josey warned, as she looked over at Tenkuyo.
"You actually believe that your circle can protect them from me, and my demon?" Tenkuyo asked as he raised his brow in amusement.
"Don't underestimate us Tenkuyo! We'll defeat you and your so called demon!" Sage replied as he narrowed his eyes at him.
"We'll see who will defeat who in the end." Tenkuyo told him. His tattoos on his face and chest glowed. Tenkuyo flung his head back, and spirits flew out of his tattoo on his chest.
The guys stepped back in surprise, "What in the..?!" Cye asked as he blinked with a deep frown.
Tenkuyo laughed as he looked at them. "What's the matter Ronins? Are you scared to face me?"
"Scared!? Listen, we're not scared of anything or anyone! Especially, not a washed up demon like you!" Kento growled as his eyes narrowed into angry slits. He was getting very close into wanting to fight this demon. Tenkuyo knew that he was pushing all the right buttons to at least one of the Ronins. Somehow, he knew that if one Ronin fell, then their circle would be destroyed and that Tai and Josey would be easy prey to him.
"Come on, you believe that a mere mortal like you can defeat a demon type god like me?" Tenkuyo taunted with a grin.
"That's it! I've heard enough out of you!" Kento growled as he attacked Tenkuyo head on.
"Kento wait!" Rowen called out as he tried to call him back. But the bearer of Hardrock wasn't listening, he barreled ahead. That was exactly what Tenkuyo was waiting for. The spirits that he released earlier swooped up and around, then they made their attack towards Kento.
"Kento!" Tai yelled out as her eyes went wide in concern jus as the spirits entered Kento's body. He was raised off the ground, his head flung back and his back arched. Kento gritted his teeth to keep from yelling out more.
"Let him go Tenkuyo, now!" Cye warned angrily as he and the others advanced towards him.
"I don't think so, not quite yet. You see, I know all about your circle and how to break it. All I needed was to put one of you out of commission. Then it would be broken, and my demon could retrieve my prey." Tenkuyo answered in amusement. Kento yelled out again as the spirits increased their powers and speed. "Five…Four…Three…Two…One." Tenkuyo counted as his spirits finally flew out of his body as Kento fell to the ground, breathing hard and holding onto his ribs, as he glared at him.
"Kento, you all right?" Cye asked as he rushed over to him.
"I'm fine Cye, I feel like I've been through a microwave though, cold on the inside and hot on the outside." Kento replied getting up carefully.
"What did you do to him?! Answer me!" Ryo demanded angrily as he glared at the demon.
Tenkuyo laughed, "You really want to know, alright, I'll tell you. My spirits went straight for his power center and started to drain it. That way your circle is no longer activated."
Their eyes went wide in realization, they whipped around to see what Tenkuyo said was true. Their circle was gone and the smaller demon looked like it was ready to attack the girls. "Josey, Tai, get away from there!" Sage warned. The smaller demon jumped into the air and was barely even an arms length away when all of a sudden it was hit and flew back.
Tenkuyo laughed as he saw his demon hit a boulder.
"What's so funny?!" Kento demanded as he glared at the demon.
"You really have no clue to what's going on do you?" Tenkuyo asked back in amusement.
"Tenkuyo…" Tai whispered as a twinge of fear was laced upon her voice.
The demon gave a ferial grin that could run a person's blood cold. His eyes gleamed with a dangerous enjoyment of what he had done.
