Hey! I'm back with the second chapter of 'The Rise of Demons' So much stuff have been goin on, like me getting in trouble because of my stupid sister. I got grounded and just got on today. So, here it is. I'll list the pairings at the end of the chappie if I feel like it.

Saika POV (Oni Guardian's Lair)

Me and Zhou Tai charged at huge guardian aiming for it's left horn. "Hey! How exactly do you know the weakness of this thing?" Tai asked me. "Because I helped destroy it once with Samanosuke. A legend among samurai in Japan." I said. I jumped high above the horn and threw my axe at it. Tai jumped into a strait line towards it and tried to destroy it with his sword. "It won't work, unless you have a soul gauntlet like I do." I said and landed by him. "Hahaha, you can't even harm it pirate! You won't stand a chance against this one.!" Wyvern yelled and disappeared.

"AAAARRRRGGGHHHH! I shall DESTROY YOU WYVERN!" Tai yelled and went into a fury. He lunged at the Horn of Ozuma, but was slammed at a wall by the sudden attack. "DAMN!" He yelled. "Zhou Tai, do not let you emotions or anger fuel your attacks. It will only make matters worse, so stay with your woman and I'll take care of this. 'Oni Form!' I yelled and transformed into the form of my oni spirit. My axes grew longer and my wings sprouted from my back. I flew up towards the beast and started to chant a spell that should put him in chains again and get us out. Rising powers of the gods, bind this demon with chains! Reverse this spell and set us free I chanted and set the spell into action.

Normal POV (Battlegrounds/Han Encampment)

The place they were in disappeared and they were surrounded by white again. They soon were back at the gate. The battle was over but they needed to find anyone who was still alive. As they landed, Zhou Tai stumbled, placing his hand over his chest.

Zhou Tai POV (Same place.)

Damn, my wound must've opened I thought as I stumbled after we landed. "Tai, you okay?" Xiao said I nodded yes even if I was lying, we had to find others. I walked towards where I last saw Lu Xun and Lord Sun Ce. Da was sitting around a fire with Lady Sun, Zhen Ji, and Yue Ying. Over by the Han main tent were Yuan Shuo, Lu Xun, Huang Gai, Zhuge Liang, Wei Yan,Sun Ce, Zhang He, and Xiahou Dun talking about what happened. Zhang Liao and Sima Yi were near a tree talking amongst themselves. And something I didn't want Xiao to see was there as well. Sir Zhou Yu was impaled on the same sword that Wyvern used. It was slammed into him to the hilt. You couldn't see any of the blade.

Xiao whipped around tears streaming from her eyes and cried onto my chest. I put my free hand around her and let her cry. We walked over to where Da and the girls were and let Xiao be with her sister. I walked over to Lord Sun Ce and everyone else. Saika was already there.

"So I guess she saw what happened to Zhou huh?" Ce asked sadly. His sworn brother and best friend were dead. It was not only a great lost for our forces, but it was also bad for Xiao. "Well, I will say this. We need to find the master of this-"Shuo was cut off. "We can't find Wyvern; he has a special armor that he wears that if we even pass him, it will be unknown. His armor cloaks him. The only way to find him is if we travel to Japan or any element shrines and collect the oni orbs." Saika said. "What the hell are those?" Dun questioned. Saika just stayed silent. Dun tried picking him up by his collar but Saika was too fast for him. "Hey, cut it out. The last thing we need is to start fighting amongst ourselves." Xun said. "Hey, think you can heal me Liang? I have a deep cut from fighting with Wyvern." I said. Zhuge led me to a secluded are and started to treat the gash on my chest.

Huang Gai POV

"Well, who are you?" I asked gruffly picking up my 'Shadow Rod' "I am Saika, I'm an Oni hunter." He said. "What the hell is an 'oni'?" Zhang questioned. "An oni is Japanese for demon." Sima said walking over to us followed by Liao. "Glad you could join us." Dun said glaring at Sima. "Nice to meet your acquaintance Saika. I am Sima Yi, and this-"Sima was cut off. "Zhang Liao, I know who you all are. That is why I came here. My party and I got separated so I came here. We need to go to Cheng Du.I told them to meet me there if we were to ever get separated. "Sounds like an idea. We can go there and restock on anything we may need." I said. "We still need to look for any other survivors!" Sun Ce yelled. "Listen here, if we stay in this place any longer, we'll be hunted down, and we won't live here for very long." Saika said staring at Lord Ce. "HELP! Someone help me!" We heard a voice yell from Si Shui. "Come on!" Dun yelled and ran to the gate.

Diao Chan POV (Si Shui)

I screamed for help from anyone. I was surrounded by demons along with Lu Bu by me trying to hold them back. "Diao, you have to get out of here, I'll make a passage and you run to the Han for help." Lu Bu said. "No, I won't leave you!" I screamed. "Hey! Anyone needed help?!" Ce yelled jumping at the demons. "The han must've heard my screams." I said to myself. Most of them were here, but a few were gone. I guessed that they encountered the demons as well. "Diao, go!" Lu yelled. He ran straight through the army of demons. Zhang He was carrying me away as Bu told him to. I caught a glimpse of Sun Ce by Lu helping with the attack. "LU BU!!" I screamed, tears streaming down my face.

Lu and Ce were being overwhelmed as the demon commander walked through the mass and mauled Lu and Ce with two huge iron spiked-balls that connected to his arms. I looked over to see that one of the females with us was crying on who I believed to be the famous Lu Xun. We soon arrived back at the Han encampment.

Lu Xun POV (Han Camp)

I stood near a tree watching Da to make sure she didn't faint or anything bad. She just sat near the fire in silence. Everyone was worried about her. I knew this wasn't exactly the time to tell her that I loved her. "Hey, you alright?" I heard Tai call. "Huh? Oh, yeah... You feel better?" I asked back. He nodded. "You know, even if Lord Ce died, you should tell her." He said. "Huh? What're you talking about?" I ask slightly blushing. "I know you like Lady Da, it's because I like Xiao. It's a kind of connection we have since we like to people who are related." Tai said in one breath. "Wow, I never thought that you we have that kind of knowledge." I joked. He playfully glared at me. About five seconds later, we both started to laugh. "Alright, I'll go ask her. Maybe I can comfort her too." I jeered. "Heh, go on, I gotta ask Xiao myself." He said and walked away.

"Um... Hey Da, can I speak with you? Alone that is?" I shyly asked. Oh yeah, nice way to ask her to speak with you. "Sure..." Da said and got up. We walked closely to a secluded area that was close in case anything happened. "I wanted to tell you something." I blushed. Damn Zhou Tai made this seem so damn easy. "I... I wanted to s-say ... I-I l-love you." I managed to say. She looked at me for a second then she threw her arms around me and hugged me tightly. "I love you as well Lu Xun." Da cried and kissed me on the lips. We stayed there just talking for the next fifteen minutes.

Zhou Tai POV (Back at camp)

Sigh I tell her now. I pray that she'll return my feelings. "Xiao, can you come here?!" I yelled from where I was at. She got up and came over. "What's up Tai?" She asked. "Listen, If I tell you this, you promise... never to get scared or anything?" I whispered. She nodded. "I...I love you." I said. She stared at me. I knew it, she didn't love me back. ."Oh, I love you too Tai. I loved you for a while. I was just so scared to tell you." She blushed. We kissed and went to join the others. "So, I see you finally told her huh?" A familiar voice said from behind me. I turned to see Lord Sun Ce. Wait, that can't be good, if he finds out that Xun loved Da, he would kill him.

A/N: I hope you like this chapter, to romances blooms in one chapter. I want more reviews ppl! Oh, and since I'm in a good mood I'll tell the pairings so far. At least the ones in Dynasty Warriors.
