the monster

"KA-WA-RU! " a voice came to Kawaru. Kawaru trapped inside the ice and the fire began to glow. "AH!" Kawaru yelled. Everyone noticed the spirit power, it was increasing incredibly. Kawaru exploded out. Harumi used her talismans to summon a shield for them and the school, to protect the students and them from the flaming ice pieces flying. Kawaru flew leaped up high, and then dark clouds started to come. The sky grew darker and darker, the sun was the only thing standing up, and then the moon came on top of the sun making an eclipse. Everyone heard Kawaru's cries. Kawaru was viewed in the center of the eclipse. Has he crouched in like a shrimp, wings came out of his back. He stretched back. They were black feathery wings, his eyes glowed red. Black horns came out of his head. His hair became longer also.

"Shimatta," Rin said. "I guess his true form had come," Harumi said. "I know what happened," Harumi whispered to Rin. Rin was shocked. But they continued to look at Kawaru. Kawaru flew back down like a meteor.

As he contacted the floor, it destroyed half of the school; a lot of students were seriously injured. Even the power of the talisman didn't protect them. Harumi and Rin flew back, so was Maki and Yuki and the teachers. "What great power?" Kizu feared. "I agree," Kizuki feared. "This isn't good, Kouchou-Sensei," Naniko feared. The principal was wordless.

Blood was all over the building and the floor. Kawaru turned his head towards the school, to the people. His eyes were glowing. Where he landed there was a big hole at least 5 meters steep and 10 meters wide.

"Gijutsu no Genjutsu…" Kawaru said. His eyes grew bright red and it flashed around the whole school. Everyone was caught in his illusion now, except for Maki and Yuki because they were knocked out. Kawaru was laughing evilly. "I feel such a great killing aura don't you, Rin-Chan?" Harumi chuckled. Her head was filled with blood. She used too much mana and spirit power for using her talisman. "What's your point?" Rin asked. "Nothing… But don't you care what happens to him?" Harumi asked. "No," Rin looked away. "Only you can save him, not Maki or Yuki… But suit yourself…" Harumi laughed. "Whatever," Rin looked away.

Rin and Harumi were knocked all the way back to the school wall. The other teachers protected the Maki and Yuki, they were knocked to the other side of it.

Kawaru was looking around searching for someone… He turned and found Rin. Then he flew in incredible speed. And landed right in front of her. No one could see him move because they were in his illusion. "Rin, wake up," Kawaru called. "Don't come closer to me," Rin feared. "What? Why?" Kawaru asked. "Look what you did to the school… Look what you did to everyone else… You're not Kawaru…" Rin stated. "How am I not him? If I wasn't him I would kill you already," Kawaru smiled. "The real Kawaru wouldn't leave his friends or anyone the way they are now, and he would panic. He doesn't even know what happens like last time, when you tried to kill me… And I'm certain he can't use the illusion technique," Rin explained. "Well since you caught me, so are you ready to die?" Kawaru asked. "No, not yet..." Rin stood up. She picked up her nodachi and took the blade out of the sheath. "STOP!" the good Kawaru yelled. "What the? Impossible…" the bad Kawaru stated. "Get out of me!" the good Kawaru yelled. "No!" the bad Kawaru replied. "RIN-CHAN! Kill ME NOW!" Kawaru order. "Here's my chance but why can't I do it," Rin thought. "I can't do it, I really can't…" Rin dropped her nodachi on the floor, and she fell on her knees.

"I'm losing it, nooo…" the bad Kawaru said. Then Kawaru broke free from the change, Kawaru started to bleed, when his horns retracted and his wings retracted. "Sorry, Rin-Chan… I didn't mean to try to harm you… I just couldn't help my self," Kawaru explained. "No, It's okay…" Rin replied. Everyone was out of Kawaru's illusion. "Get the ambulance!" Naniko yelled. "Many students were injured…" Kizuki said. "yeah…" Kizu replied.

"That was close for us, guys, right?" Hontaro said. "As it seems," Noburo said. "That was close… Many students are injured, it was lucky we ran back…" Hyosuke replied. "Kawaru… is that powerful," Hontaro feared. "We should never mess with him anymore," Hyosuke stated. Even the students that heard Hyosuke said that, agreed.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean too…" Kawaru was scared and depressed. "Hey kid, don't worry about it…" Harumi smiled. "How can I not worry about it? I hurt so many people, there are some people dead also… I see half dead bodies on the floor, and the blood is piling…" Kawaru was in shock. "Don't worry about it, with great power comes with great responsibilities…" Harumi laughed. "Why are you laughing, there are dead people…" Kawaru said. "Well even if I'm sad about it there's no point. No one will blame you, it's just an accident…" Harumi stated. "N… But I blame my self…" Kawaru began to run. Rin didn't know what to do, she was unsure, but she chased him. Then she embraced Kawaru with a hug. Kawaru was shocked. Rin and Kawaru blushed.

The same time, Maki and Yuki woke up. Maki and Yuki stood up. Then Yuki pointed behind Maki and was wordless. "K-K-K-Kawa-Chan a-a-and R-R-R-Rin-San!" Yuki yelled. "Huh?" Maki turned around. "KA-WA-RU!" Maki and Yuki yelled. "Calm down you two, she's just helping Kawaru…" Harumi stated. "How is she helping Kawaru? Yuki asked. Maki stared at Harumi. "Well, if you two didn't get knocked out you would have seen what happened," Harumi said. "What happened?" Maki asked. "Go ask Kawaru yourself, later…" Harumi said. "I have things to do and fix, with all these dead bodies, and injured bodies, we have to fix this place up…" Harumi was troubled. All the teachers started fixing the mess. The school was crushed horribly, the front was all peeled off, and if it weren't for the talisman the students could fall off. "He has awakened…" Kouchou-Sensei whispered.

Rin was still embracing Kawaru with the hug. They were wordless. Maki and Yuki were chipping all their finger nails. They didn't want anything to happen between Rin and Kawaru.

"Pretend none of this happened, and last night either… You saved me twice, but I'll definitely pay you back. I can't be with you no matter what, my orders is to kill you… sorry," tears flowed our of Rin's eyes. "But… I understand, then I'll always be here for you to kill me then," Kawaru replied. Then Rin, turned Kawaru around, and she kissed him. Maki and Yuki's eyes popped right out. "NOOO!" Both screamed. They started to run, but Harumi came and stopped them. "Sorry…" Rin used her nodachi and stabbed Kawaru. "I won't blame you," Kawaru replied. Rin pulled her nodachi our and placed it back in the sheath, then she ran away. Her tears flew in the air.

"KAWARU!" Maki yelled. Harumi let Maki and Yuki pass afterwards. "Kawaru…" Yuki cried. When they arrived to Kawaru, each held one of his hands. "I'm going to kill her," Yuki cried. "No don't promise me not to harm her, it's not her fault… Her orders…" Kawaru replied. "Why do you always protect her?" Maki asked. "I have my reasons…" Kawaru answered. "Do you like her? Yuki asked. "You can say that," Kawaru coughed up blood. "Don't talk anymore," Maki advised. "Okay," Kawaru rested down. "Promise us, not to leave us!" Yuki and Maki cried. "Yes, I promise," Kawaru lost conscious. "Kawaru?" Maki said. Harumi came from no where and said, "He's still alive, Rin didn't kill him. Rin only cut him by the side, look your self…" "It's true, Maki-San. He's only been cut at the side," Yuki said. "I'm relieved, if you do call it relieved…" Maki replied. Both were glad that Kawaru wasn't going to die. "I'll bring him to the hospital…" Harumi said. "Thank you, Harumi-Sensei," Maki gladly thanked. "Thank you very much," Yuki thanked. "No, my pleasure," Harumi said. She brought Kawaru to the Ambulances that just arrived not long ago, helping with the injured students. The teachers were getting bandages also.

Saori was waiting for Rin on the other side of the gate. "Why didn't you kill him?" Saori asked. "None of your business," Rin looked away. "It is since we are in the same clan…" Saori replied. "But I'm glad you didn't kill him," she added. "Hmph… I am also… Since neither of us could kill him, we're going to have to suffer…" Rin stated. "I know, didn't Akui of the Poison, poison you?" Saori asked. Rin made a cough sound. "So I guess she did…" Saori said. "Wait, how did you know? Don't tell me you were there?" Rin was shocked. "I was there, you two was fighting on top of the school roof… She ran off after you hit her, but she poisoned you too… Then Kawaru was there, you and him…" Saori explained. "Don't remind me…" Rin replied. "Why not? Don't you like him?" Saori asked. "No I don't, I used him so I didn't have to die. "Oh really? Why did you embrace him with a hug and kiss before?" Saori asked. "What you saw?" Rin was embarrassed. "Not just me, the whole school, the teachers, and those two…" Saori stated. "Hmph, well isn't that too bad…" Rin said. "You still haven't answered my question…" Saori said. "Well, you can just keep thinking what you want…" Rin replied. "Then I will," Saori said. "Now get out of my way," Rin ordered. "hai, hai… But there's only two more months before we have to go back to the clan and tell them we couldn't kill him," Saori reminded. Rin nodded, and walked away.

Saori's thoughts. Damn Rin, she's lucky. I'm so envious of her…

Ai was watch everything also. She's very interested in Kawaru's power. But she's not scared of him yet…

Ai's thoughts. So I think I'm the last person here that is willing to kill Kawaru. Everyone is useless how can they not kill him. Rin had the best chance but he only wounded him… Foolish people…

"Maki, so do you still love Kawaru?" Yuki asked. "Of course, I'm meant to be with him… How about you?" Maki replied. "Well of course I do, I promised to be his wife," Yuki stated. "So without the promise you don't love him?" Maki said. "No, of course I still love him. I'll always be with him, even if there's a lot of competition or if he has girls he likes…" Yuki explained. "Heh, that's how I feel. So why don't we go with him to the hospital now?" Maki said. "Okay," Yuki smiled. They both walked to ambulance that Kawaru was in, Harumi was in it also. They sat in the bench. When the ambulances got all the injured students in the ambulances, they left to the hospital.
