AUTHOR'S NOTES: Hello everybody time once again for another enstallment of Love Hina: Reincarnated Soul. This chapter marks the begining of the trek through the Demon Castle and what better place to start it at than the Entrance Hall, after all it's a classic area of Castlevania. So sit back relax and enjoy the show.
CHAPTER THIRTEEN: GATEWAY TO THE DEMON CASTLE THE ENTRANCE HALL
"All right whoever or whatever you are show yourself now." says Gabriel as two small and familiar forms fly towards him. "Myuh." says one of the forms "Meow." says the other as Gabriel realises it is Tama and Kuro. "What the? Tama, Kuro why did you follow me?" he asks "Myuh! Meow!" Tama and Kuro say in unison. "Damn I don't know what their saying. Let me guess you two want to help me rescue the girls don't you?" asks Gabriel as the the two nod their heads yes. "Well I appreciate the thought but you should go back to the Hinata know. I know the others would be upset with me if I let you come with me and you got hurt." says Gabriel as he walks on to the castle.
However Tama and Kuro follow him anyway. "Listen go home now! Do you understand me!" says Gabriel. The two shake their heads no "Fine then have it your way you can come along but don't say I didn't warn you." says Gabriel as Tama and Kuro take a spot on each of his shoulders. "This is going to be a long night." Gabriel thinks to himself. Soon the trio arives outside the castle gate. The drawbridge lowers as if expecting them.
Gabriel stands there for a minute preparing himself mentaly for the task ahead. "This will be my greatest challenge ever. My ancestors wherever you may be now give me the strength and resolve to succed in my task." he says. Tama and Kuro both give him a reasuring nudge that everything will turn out for the better "Thanks you two. I won't let the girls down, you can count on that." Gariel says. "Myuh!" says Tama "Meow!" says Kuro "Alright let's do this!" Gabriel says as he takes his whip and holds it out in front of him in both hands before he enters the castle.

Gabriel and his two animal companions cross the drawbridge and enter the castle courtyard. The path leading to the castle is decorated with large stone torches to give light, however there are also tall wooden poles upon which the skeletons of long dead people have been impaled. Tama and Kuro turn their little heads from the gruesom sight and Gabriel simply ignores the sight all together knowing those people lost their lives centuries ago and that hopefully their souls have gone to their final reward. At the end of the path is a warg guadrding the door to the castle which Gabriel easily takes out. He enters the door into a large hallway the walls are old and cracking in many places the windows are adorned with red curtains that have seen better days as they open and close from the wind outside.
The trio walks on but soon zombies begin to rise from the floor and attack. Gabriel takes them out with ease while Tama and Kuro fly out of harms way, but alas they are asailed by more enemies, bats and even more zombies. Tama and Kuro help Gabriel by taking out the bats as he deals with the zombies. Eight zombies surround Gabriel in a circular pattern, as they prepare to lunge at him Gabriel swings his whip around him in a circle "Sonic Edge!" he yells as lashes of sonic energy are unleashed in all directions destroying the zombies.
As they continue on several black panthers jump at them from ledges above them, but Gabriel dispatches them with a few strikes from his whip. They reach a staircase and ascend it and go through a door to another room. This room is small with only enemies being a few bats, the bats are quickley taken care of as they head down some stairs to the ground floor were they then decend lower still down another set of stairs into an underground chamber. The chamber itself appears to be a large fountain it is well crafted and adorned with beautiful statues, unfortunately it also has a number of mermen dwelling there as well.
The mermen run at Gabriel and swipe at him with their claws or spit fireballs from their mouths at him, but Gabriel dodges and blocks most of their attacks though a few get through and hurt him. Gabriel counter attacks the mermen with the whip of lightning and the Needle Claws attack and soon clears the room of their presence. The trio crosses the room and heads back up stairs into another room dispatching the bats that attack them and head up another set of steps and through a door into a room exactly like the first room of the castle. Gabriel jumps off the ledge and takes out the zombies that rise from the floor to attack. The trio continue through the room defeating the monsters as they go, soon they hear someone scream for help.

As they head towards the screams they see Sarah trapped in a large cage as a pair of creatures watch over her and enjoy her screams as the scare her. "How dare they do that to Sarah my little sister. Those monsters will pay. Tama, Kuro I want you to to stay with Sarah win I attack those monsters do you understand?" Gabriel says. "Myuh! Meow!" Tama and Kuro say in unison as they both give Gabriel a salute. Tama and Kuro fly near the ceiling so they hopefully won't be seen by the monsters as Gabriel wlks forward and makes himself known to the monsters. "Hey you! Let her go!" he says as the creatures turn around to Gabriel, one looks like a large demonic gargoyle and the other which has a spear looks like a cross of different kinds of dinosaurs. The monsters scream and attack at the same time.
(Heart of Fire)
As the two monsters attack Gabriel he suddenly remembers just who these monsters are. The gargoyle is Gaibon and the dinosaur creature is Slorga "My ancestor Simon fought these monsters once. If he can beat them then so can I." he thinks as he dodges Slorga's spear. Gabriel retaliates with the Vertical High followed by the Rising Shot and ending in the Energy Blast when he lands "Grand Cross!" he yells as he rises into the air while a pair of large golden crosses swirl around him striking both the monsters and knocks them down.
The monsters soon get up and attack again. Gaibon spews firballs from his mouth as Slorga shoots them from his spear Gabriel dodges the fireballs and gets behind Slorga and hits him with three powerful blows from his whip which bring the dinosaur monster to its knees as it busts in to flames and dies. Gabriel quickly turns his atention to Gaibon and jumps in the air and attacks with his A Extinsion 2 attack which sends Gaibion to the ground. Gaibon's body begins to shake as its skin takes on a red color, it then begins its attack again as it flies in to the air and spews huge fireballs at Gabriel who barely dodges them. Gaibon the lands and is about to spew forth more fireballs but Gabriel attacks first "Michael's Sword!" he yells as a holy power in the form of a giant cross appears were Gaibon is standing and begins to damage the creature before it destroys it completely.
(End of song)
Once Gaibon has been defeated an orb appears in the air and falls to the floor, Gabriel walks over to it and recovers his strength, he then heads over to the cage were Sarah is locked. "Don't worry I'll have you out in a moment Sarah." he says as he stikes the lock with his whip and shatters it. "You ok Sarah, you weren't hurt were you?" he asks as tears fall down her cheeks. "Big brither! I was so scared, I knew you'd come to save me." says Sarah as she cries and huggs Gabriel. "Hey it's alright now you're safe. Now listen I want you to head back to the Hinata alright. Don't worry about runing into any monsters, I've cleared the way." he says.
"Ok I'll go back but please save the others." she says as she wipes the tears from her eyes. "Thats my girl, and don't you worry I will save the others I promise. I want you to do something for me though. I want you to take Tama and Kuro with you, ok." he says. "Myuh! Meow!" Tama and Kuro say in unison "Forget it you two you're going back with her to the Hinata were you will be safest. And don't think of trying to follow me again understood!" he says. "Myuh. Meow." the two say with the sound of defeat in their voices. Gabriel then turns to the door in front of him and prepares to enter the next area of Castlevania. "Good luck big brother. Save the others and come home safe." says Sarah to herself as she Tama and Kuro leave the castle and head back to the Hinata.
