Goku stood on the roof and watched the sun set and turn the sky into a fiery darkness. His fists tightened and his teeth clenched as he looked deeper at the sun.
Before Goku and Nataku could reach her, the room began to rumble. The ground began to shake and the walls crumble. Then suddenly, two huge cracks formed a cross on the ground and began to slide inwards...
"I hate you...Gyoukumen Koushu..."
Nataku watched him from the corner of his eye as he trained at the front of the house.
'Goku...'

"Kougaiji-sama...is everything ok?" Yaone came onto the balcony of their home, located more than 100km away from Goku's place. She came in with a tray of tea and laid it on the table.
"I was just...thinking."
"Umm..." She was nervous to ask, she began pouring the tea as she tried to sum up the courage.
"What is it Yaone? You can ask me anything."
"It's soon...isn't it?" Kougaiji turned his gaze from skies towards Yaone; she was uneasy and seemed almost frightened. He walked up to her and held onto her arms and reassured her.
"We'll win this, no matter what."
"Hai...but...I don't want anything to happen to us... "
"Trust me, Yaone. I won't let any harm come to you, or anyone else."
"Hai!" she cried.

Nataku jumped onto the roof and slowly approached him.
"Goku, we're running out of food. I'm going into town to get some."
"No, I'll go."
"Do you have the-"
"Yeah, it's with me."
He watched Goku walk off the roof and begin the two-day journey to the nearest town, he worried and he wondered – if he'd be able to see the Goku he once knew, ever again.
Goku entered the forest and followed the path that he and Nataku marked out and walked down it alone. He knew well enough that the forest all around him was crawling with demons. Goku calmly walked through the forest, though was being very attentive to his surroundings. All of a sudden, he heard a rustle of leaves; 'squirrels...' He interpreted, then twigs broke; 'bear...fifteen metres away'. He knew this forest too well. Absolutely nothing could get past him.
Mysteriously, a single autumn leaf slowly fell down in front of Goku. He slightly lifted his right hand and summoned his Nyoibou.
"How long are you going to stay up there? Or would you prefer I come up?"
Narrowed eyes stared at him from within the shade of the trees and the shine of blades caught Goku's attention. An assassin lashed out with his daggers at where Goku stood, but soon realised he missed. His eyes searched every direction until he saw Goku coming from above and his Nyoibou struck him hard on his chest. Goku landed and pinned the demon down.
"Tell Gyoukumen Koushu that she is never going to get her hands on it, no matter what she, or her bastard scientist tries." Goku gave him one blow to the face and he fell unconscious. Goku got up and walked away.

Then the ground around where the crescent blade dug into crumbled and gave way. In that split second, Dokugaku's heart stopped.
"Dokugaku, what are you doing outside so late?" He didn't answer. "I'm worried..."
"Please, I need some time alone."
"Soon, we'll be able to get revenge for everything they've done."
"No matter how much they suffer, it won't change anything."
"Gomen..."
"What for?"
"For Kougaiji-sama...Lirin-sama is still alive, but..."
"Urusai..." Dokugaku looked at her for one last time and his eyes startled her. Dokugaku walked back into the house leaving Yaone shaken. High from the balcony Kougaiji watched and sighed.

It was dawn and Goku had arrived at the town, he took out a list from his back pocket and began searching the shops. It had taken him all morning and now he was heading back with his stack of food and supplies.
"You!" The townspeople were running away and screaming as they saw a gang of more than a dozen demons approach. Goku kept inside the frustration and anger and put aside his bags.
"Prepare to DIE!" Goku sighed and cracked his knuckles as he waited for the demons to get closer to him. He charged into the pack and within 5 seconds, Goku stood unharmed over fallen demons. He quietly picked up his bags and left.

"Gyoukumen Koushu!"
"Hmm? Ah, you're the assassin I sent. So, is the brat dead?"
"Iie..." The assassin cringed at the bruise Goku gave him on his chest and then looked back up at her.
"I see...Lirin, kill him. I don't want to look at this failure anymore, can't even take care of a kid..."
From the shadows, Lirin slowly approached the assassin and looked down at him kneeling before her. She bared her claws and stared menacingly at him. She lifted him by his shirt and brought him close to her face and whispered.
"Send a message for me and I'll spare you enough pain to keep you alive." The assassin blinked in response and Lirin punched him, sending him all the way to the other side of the room.
"Good...now leave and clean up the mess." Lirin obeyed.
"Gyoukumen Koushu-sama..."
"Oh...Nii?"
"I have some great news."
"About the project?"
"Hai."
"Is it successful?"
"Of course it is."
"When will it be able to be initiated?"
"As soon as I touch up some details, things should be running soon."
"Well done Nii...at least someone hasn't disappointed me..."
From the dark shadows of the corridors, Lirin hid and hung onto every word Nii and Gyoukumen exchanged, she feared the worst but couldn't do anything to stop it. If only she knew more, but she didn't have the slightest clue what Nii was up to.
Lirin turned her attention toward to the assassin and dressed to some of his wounds.
"You, go to onii-chan and tell him to be aware of every change around him and keep everyone safe. Anything could happen so tell him to not trust anyone. Can you remember that?"
"But, Lirin-sama...what if he doesn't believe me?"
"Just show him the bruise on your face." The assassin nodded pathetically and left.
She felt so helpless. She wouldn't know what to do if anything happened to him, Yaone-san, or Dokugaku. She wanted to tear her mother and Nii apart, destroy the whole castle. The only thing that was stopping her was the cold metal that was so tightly bound around her neck.
Yay! I finally got through that...like I said, don't hope I get the next update up too soon, I have...school...
