Chapter 2: Alone with their mother

Kaos Hitatashi was born as the second of three children of Kotonos and Kynlia Hitatashi. His older brother, Kaon, was the main one he looked up to. Kaon was the most feared demon in the Village of the Dragons of the Earth. Kaos' younger brother, Kaoto, was the most skilled, yet youngest samurai of the village. One day, these three were training, and each of them had their own weapons that they were very skilled with. As Kotonos stepped into the room, he signaled them to leave, which they followed immediately. Kotonos went to his son and knocked Kaos across the room.

"Kotonos, what are you doing," Kynlia saw him and ran, "You're hurting him!" She dropped a bucket of water and went to pull Kotonos off of Kaos. To no avail, she couldn't budge him. Kotonos then reached back and slapped her to the ground.

"You will learn to become a fierce demon, even if you have to die to become it," Kotonos said, strangle him with his giant, rough hands. Kaos was starting to black out, but he had to think to avoid death. He saw his opportunity, as Kotonos moved his hands for a split second. Kaos then broke his choke with a flip, landed on his fingertips, and finished with a corkscrew kick into his father's chest. Kotonos took a step back, and then let out a laugh.

"Well done, you've finally advanced into your training," Kotonos said. Kotonos toss a rag to Kaos to wipe off the blood. Kaos knew his own father wanted to kill him. He stood there, grasping his neck with one hand, and holding the rag against his temple, where it was bleeding the most. He felt such intense power, something only a high-class demon could handle. He fell to the ground and blacked out, due to him having trouble breathing. Kynlia ran to him and places a damp towel on his neck and patted it around his face.

Later that day, he finally woke up and seen one of Kotonos' younger concubines was treating Kaos. Her name was Nikomi. As she treated his wounds, she looked at him, having pity on him that he couldn't move. She gave him a piece of paper. "W-what's this?" he asked her. He opened it and she pointed to a circle. "This is where he hides a weapon that could kill ten million demons, even strong enough to kill him," she told him. He nodded, sticking the map inside his pocket. "Once I take care of my father, leave at once. But leave a boat that can fit four and some supplies," Kaos told her. She nodded in agreement. He stood up, strapping a chained kunai on his waist. "It's time for a little payback," he said to himself, looking menacingly.

Once the other two boys went to sleep, Kaos was ready to do what he had planned to. He was wearing an all black jumpsuit, for he could sneak around in the shadows. He went down the hall heading towards the weapons chamber. He opened the door, seeing many weapons that Kotonos killed many enemies with. As he walked around, he seen one lone halberd enclosed in heavy glass, but he easily took it out. He picked it up, along with a few other weapons, wrapped the halberd since it reeked of pinai poison. He jumped into the vent and followed down to his father's main quarters. He saw his father talking to his mother, wondering why they were arguing at a late time.

"Listen Kotonos, you can't keep hurting Kaos like that. He's not at a level like Kaon, neither him nor Kaoto. You have to give him a break," Kynlia spoke out. He replied, "Foolish woman! Kaos will learn to be tough like Kaon was. You're just making him soften by protecting him."

"But you are being too evil! Leave him alone or--," before she could finish, he picked her up by the throat and threw her to the ground. Kaos watched in fear and listened to his mother cry. Kotonos picked up a sword he had on his wall, and was about to slice her, until the small boy broke through the metal vents. Kotonos stood back from Kynlia and his son now landed in front of him.

"Step away from her!" Kaos screamed. Kotonos let out a laugh, and then replied, "You don't have the guts to kill your own dad now would you? Well, since you can stand up to defend your mother, we'll see if you can defend yourself." Kaos charged with him in a blind rage, his demonic energy growing larger, glowing around him as a deep red aura. Kaos attempted to punch him down, but Kotonos struck him with a fatal blow.

"Ha, is that all you got?" He yelled out. As he went to pick Kaos' lifeless body, Kaos grabbed the halberd and cut Kotonos in half.

"It's...impossible. How were you able to do that?" Kotonos said

"Because, I truly am my father's child, but I have advanced farther than him," Kaos said. He dropped the halberd and helped his mother up, in which they packed supplies and left. Nikomi left and was never seen again.

Kaos was now known as the new demon King.
