To Everyone: Yes I know I know, my chapters are really short this time around. The upside is that there are more of them, so I get the point of needing longer chapters I'll try to avoid them, just bear with me for the time being.
Chapter 10: The other side of Japan.
Location: Time Fluxuation: Kumamoto, Japan
Yusuke and Kayko walked down the street, rambling on about why Yusuke should be participating in school. But in the shadows, a dark figure watched them. The figure conjured up a small red snake, never before seen on the planet. The snake quickly got in front of the two, and hid behind a garbage can. The dark figure waited for the moment to command the snake to strike and inject its paralyzing venom into Yusuke's leg. "Well what do you expect…what with all these cases I got and all." Yusuke said.
"Don't move if you want to live!" Called a voice. Yusuke, Kayko, and even the dark figure stopped and looked in the direction of the voice. A boy with wings stood there, in the center of the sidewalk. The figure waved his hand and the snake withdrew.
"Ha, well that's got to be the worse disguise for a demon I've ever seen." Yusuke said. "Now why don't you try talking a language I can understand, hot shot?" David quickly became annoyed.
"Why me?" He groaned. "Aileta could you please give me a hand?" A girl with pink hair walked out from behind a corner.
"Pardon him" Aileta said in her fluent Japanese. "We hate to inform you of this, but if you don't come with us, you'll most surely be killed." Aileta warned.
"Uh, no thanks, I think we'll be on our way."
"Yusuke! She's trying to help us." Kayko grunted.
"Like I need help! I'm Earth's spirit detective you know, I think I can hold my own." Yusuke boasted. David eyed the shadows warily for any movement. The dark figure inched his way around the 4, until he was on the rooftop next to Yuskue.
"You must gather all your friends and meet us at your house, and be careful." Aileta instructed.
"For the last time I don't need your help. Whoever this guy is I can take him." The dark figure gave a faint chuckle, but the noise was more than enough. Both David and Aileta snapped their head in the direction of the silent noise. In a flash, the figure jumped off the roof and reached for Yusuke. It landed on him and pulled out a crystal. Just as it began to glow David kicked the creature off. The figure turned around to look at David.
"Well what do you know…I wasn't expecting to see you here. Did you come all this way for me, young hero in training." Sahathroe said slyly.
"Shove it snake face, you aren't worth my time any more, so why don't you just hold still so I can separate that annoying face form your body.
"Now that's not very nice…let me show you what I mean" Sahathroe pulled out 2 long, serrated swords, one jagged and blue, the other lumpy and red, with an eye. "I acquired these just before we met on our first date…meet the soul caliber, and soul edge." Sahathroe lunged for David and swung the blades swiftly. David easily dodged the swinging blades, not even bothering to draw his own sword. "Very good young hero…but what happens when the swords are alive, and are after your soul?" The eye on soul edge blinked and fixated on David. David tensed up and got ready.
"HEY YOU." Yuskue yelled. He ran up and unloaded a hailstorm of punches. Sahathroe was quite surprised at the power of Yuskue and quickly began to block his punches. "You think you're so smart well how about this!" Yuskue brought his foot straight up and kicked Sahathroe right in the chin. Sahathroe's head was thrown back from the impact.
"Heh heh, very good Yuskue…in the hands of my master your power will be near limitless." Sahathroe said as he brought his head back to look at him. "But getting it from you will be quite fun." He said as he pulled out a small crystal.
"Bring it on." Yuskue said.
"I already did." Dozens of snakes slithered up and jumped on Yuskue. Sahathroe slowly walked up to him and held out the crystal. The crystal started glowing, and then it was gone. Sahathroe did a double take. Out of the corner of his eye he saw the crystal on the ground. David walked over and picked it up.
"Nice shot Aileta." He said. Aileta caught her disc as it flew back to her.
"Thanks" Sahathroe gave a mean look.
"This isn't over young hero…I'll be back." Sahathroe quickly transformed into a snake and slithered off without a sound.
