3. welcome to hell

Stribe looked up at the angry demons that where standing on the rough and had surrounding him, Stribe helped a man up, he was bleeding. "Don't touch him!" the man screamed up to the demons "shut up or I will kill you" a man with grey hair and a lot of scars in his face and sharp teeth screamed. "Wait" the younger Stribe screamed "what?" the man said and looked down at Stribe "if I go with you will you then let my dad live" he said shaking of fear "your dad? Oh you mean the human" the man said and licked his teeth clean from blood, "that's my dad " Stribe screamed, the other demons began to growl. "Well well... I have only knew you for five minutes and your already blackmailing me" the man with the grey hair said and suddenly smiled "I think you can become a great demon" he said. Stribe walked over to the pack, he was scared and shaking, the man with the grey hair laid a hand on his should "welcome to hell" he said and smiled. The demons where celebrating that they have got Stribe in their group but Stribe wasn't happy, the man with the grey hair came over to Stribe and Stribe could clearly smell he was drunk "oi sonny... come and celebrate with us" he said and was about to fall "sir... what is your name?.." Stribe asked scared... he was any way going to live with them so maybe it was good idea to become friends with some one "well...Sergei... at your service" he said and tried to bow but he was so drunk that he couldn't "oi come and have a drink me pal!" a demon screamed to Sergei and Sergei staged over to the fire, Stribe walked over to a cliff and looked down in the city where he was coming from "you really look like him" a friendly voice said, Stribe turned around and saw a tall women with blond hair and a lot of earrings "who... who do I look ... like.." Stribe asked "well.. who do you think? your dad" she said with a smile "sorry but I don't remember my biologic father" Stribe answered a bit a shame "well... your dad is known as being the greatest demon ever... and he was Sergei best friend" she said, Stribe looked at the drunk Sergei... he couldn't believe it... his dad and Sergei friends? After a couple of hours with alcohol and dancing around all the demons had fallen asleep... there was a thick smell of alcohol every where. Stribe couldn't stand the smell and began to walk a bit around... he looked at the moon... it was the only light... it was his only light... how could he become a true demon... he didn't even know the his father was a great demon... he couldn't do it, Stribe began to cry... what should he do. "Wakie wakie beauty" a teasing voice said, Stribe looked up and was blended by the sun but it was covered by a couple of people looking at him, "come with us" they said and got Stribe up, they lend Stribe into a tent where Sergei was sitting in a chair. "sit down?" Sergei said and out of no where a chair appeared, Stribe looked at bit on the chair and then sad down "well I better explain to you what it means to be a true demon" Sergei said and looked with a hard look at Stribe "well... a demon is a person that makes sure that there is justice... people go to hell if they haven't behave well and so on... so your going to learn that but... number one rule for being a demon you can't see humans and you have to be scary and behave bad" he said, Stribe wanted to ask a lot of questions but didn't dare. Sergei putted a lot of books and papers on the table "you have to read all these" he said and left, Stribe began to read "oi kid" a voice said, it was the female demon from yesterday "oi" Stribe said with a smile "your not suppose to read them on commando" she whispered "why?" Stribe asked confused, "your a demon your suppose to behave bad and there for your are not suppose to read" she said and then ran away. Stribe walked out of the tent and walked around and Sergei got a light in his eyes when he saw that Stribe haven't read anything and many of the demons pottered him and hugged him, it was a nice felling. In the past few days Stribe had learned how to hunt, fight and ride, Stribe loved to ride and often did it but he wasn't good at behaving bad he would always say sir or madam to people and nearly never swear.. it was driving Sergei insane. "what I am going to do with that boy? I though it would be easy to train him... I mean he is Demons kid" Sergei complained to some of his dear friends "oi Elsa! Where is Stribe?" a men screamed to the female demon "well... I think he has gone out riding Why?" she asked , Stribe soon came riding into the camp and whistling a happy melody, Sergei was choked when he heard Stribe whistling "Kjartan do something" he said to the man that had asked Elsa where Stribe was, Kjartan ran over to Stribe. "Oi" Stribe said with a smile "quit that whistling" he said "why... its such a nice day" Stribe asked a bit confused "well first of all your a demon and demons don't whistle" he said "and where at war... your not suppose to be happy" Kjartan continued "war? With who?" Stribe quickly asked "well... don't worry about that right now... just become a true demon" Kjartan said and walked into the tent where Sergei was. Stribe blinked a bit confused but walked over to Elsa "oi..." Stribe said but then remembered that he didn't knew her name "excuse me but what is your name?" he asked a bit embarrassed "well its Elsa" Elsa answered and began to wash some cloths "why are you washing?" Stribe asked a bit confused... he didn't knew that demons was washing or even caring about being clean "well someone gotta do it" she said with a smile and looked at some demons there already was starting to drink "yeah there is... can I help?" Stribe asked to be polite "well... I think you shouldn't... focus on becoming a true demon" she said and winked. "Stribe!" Sergei screamed and he sounded mad, Stribe walked into the tent "what is it?" he asked, Sergei nodded to the guards that walked out of the tent. "Stribe... I have tried everything and you still won't behave bad... what do you do if someone mess with you?" Sergei asked with a look that already have being giving up "well... I kill him" Stribe said with a smile "that's it? You just kill him? What about his family?" Sergei asked "well..." Stribe said... he didn't knew what to answer "I'll let them live..." Stribe said... he knew it was wrong but what should he answer, Sergei sad down and was chocked and then knocked his head down in the table "I give up! I can't make a demon out of this kid... sorry Demon" Sergei said and began to cry. Stribe got pity for him and laid his hand on his back "don't worry" he said trying to cheer Sergei up "I... promise.." Stribe said, Sergei looked up at Stribe "I promise that I will become the greatest demon ever!" Stribe screamed and smacked his hand down in the table "don't worry! I will slay all that insult me" Stribe said with an evil smile, Sergei smiled "good boy" he said and pottered Stribe. Stribe had changed a lot, he swear and was fighting with everyone that insulted him. A man with black hair and a scar over his left eye that he hardly could open walked over to Stribe "oi!" he said "oi!" Stribe answered "you most be Stribe.. the son of the legendary Demon" he said looking at Stribe "yeah I am" Stribe answered very proud, the man nodded and walked away. When all the demons had fallen asleep after the many hours of drinking, Stribe ran down to the human village not very far away. He knocked on a door and the man that Stribe had helped up when the demons have surrounded him "oi dad" Stribe said and smiled and the man smiled back, the man made some tea and they where sitting and drinking tea and talking in some hours and then Stribe ran back to the camp, that happened nearly every day. A day where Stribe was running home to the camp a shadow grabbed his arm "oi Diablo" the voice said and the moons light reviled who it was. It was the man that had asked if he was the son of Demon "o..i" Stribe said nervous "oi... what are a little boy like you doing her at such an hour" he said and bended his head down to Stribe "we would be terribly sad if our guarantee for wining this war would hurt him self" he said "well where have you been?" he asked "well... I was... just" Stribe said, "your sweating" the man said and licked away some sweat away from Stribes head with his tongue "thanks" Stribe said, and walked home with the man. Stribe didn't sleep very much that night... he was afraid... how would Sergei take it? And what about the rest of the pack, Stribe finally felled asleep. Stribe was waked by the noise of people packing, "what is going on?" he ask a bit sleepy but no one answered him but just looked very mad at him, Elsa walked over to him "well we are moving a bit far in to the forest" she said "why?" Stribe asked a bit chocked "well... people won't have you know this but we are moving so you can't run down to your dad" she said a bit sad "damn it" Stribe said, Elsa got happy when she heard Stribe swearing. "Talk with Shiroi... he will help you!" Elsa said and leafed "Shiroi.." Stribe repeated, Stribe walked over to Kjartan that looked a bit disappointed at Stribe "oi..." he said and didn't sound happy as he used to "oi... do you know where I can find a guy named Shiroi?" Stribe asked a bit sad... he didn't like that nearly every one was mad at him... he just hoped that he didn't bumped into Sergei. "Well just go over there" Kjartan said and pointed at a tent "thanks... and sorry about letting you down" he said and walked away. "Hello.." Stribe said as he stood out side the tent "come in my friend" a friendly voice said.. Stribe was a little unsure but when he heard the friendly voice he walked into the tent. A man with white hair and blue eyes said in a chair.. the tent looked like Sergei's inside. "Hello sir..." Stribe said "hello... what do you want?" the man asked "is you Shiroi?" Stribe asked "yeah... who are you?" Shiroi said in a calm tone "my name is Stribe Diablo Lupus... Elsa said I should talk with you cause I'm in trouble" Stribe said "yeah I heard... maybe I can talk with Sergei... but you have to come with me!" Shiroi said with a hard look "okay..." Stribe said very nervous he didn't wanted to met Sergei... he was probably mad. Stribe walked into the tent with Shiroi "oi" Shiroi said "oi..." Sergei answered and hadn't notice Stribe, Sergei looked up from some map he was looking at probably to find a good place to settle down "Stribe! What the fuck is your problem? Running around with humans... for the devils seek" Sergei said mad "well... I..." Stribe faltered "no excuses... I'm tired of it!" Sergei madly growled at Stribe that was hiding behind Shiroi "easy now... he is only a kid... be patience ... he comes from humans and then suddenly have to live as a demon and know all the rules.. like every other kid he miss's his father..." Shiroi said a bit mad at Sergei. Sergei looked at Stribe and began to relies that Stribe was scared and even if he was Demon son he still was a kid "well what do you think we should do?" Sergei said "well... Stribe could you go out side... run a little around in the forest" Shiroi said, Stribe wanted to say something but the friendly eyes made him do it as he was told. Stribe ran towards the forest but he got stopped by the man that Stribe had met when he got discovered "where are you going?" he asked "well just out in the forest" Stribe said with a stubborn voice "I don't think" the man said and grabbed Stribes arm and hold onto him "let go of me" Stribe screamed, Stribe kicked the man in the stomach to let make him go "damn little brat!" the man yelled and slapped Stribe in the face. Stribe got scared and chocked over he got hit, "what the fuck is going on here?" Kjartan said and when he saw Stribe he clearly got mad "Kokuzoku what the fuck is going on here? And you better give me a good explanation!" Kjartan madly yelled "well... he didn't showed me respect... and I'm just teaching him that you should give your superior respect" Kokuzoku said in a calm tone "that didn't mean that you have to hit him! Release him... that's an order" Kjartan growled and Kokuzuko released Stribe that ran over to Kjartan. Kjartan and Kokuzoku walked towards Sergei's tent. You could clearly hear Sergei yelling at Kokuzoku "maybe he is Demons boy and maybe he is a bit slow to learn being a demon but don't you dare to lay a hand on him!" Sergei yelled and you could also hear Kjartan proposed that they should punish him or maybe even kill him, but Sergei refused to kill Kokuzoku. In the cool weather of the evening the group began to run deeper into the forest, Stribe was surprised over that even if many of them was carrying much they could still fun faster than Stribe that nearly didn't carried anything. Finally they came to a glade where they settle down, Sergei forgave Stribe for seeing humans but Stribe training was must rougher than before, it was clear that Sergei was hushing on him to become a demon. Stribe was nearly friend with everyone but Kokuzoku was still after him, not allowing him to go any where, Stribe looked at the moon and was thinking of his dad "come my friend" a voice said and Stribe turned around to see how it was and saw Shiroi "come? To what?" Stribe asked confused "you want to see your dad right?" Shiroi said "yeah.." Stribe was and felled how much he missed him... it was a long time he had met him. Stribe and Shiroi sneaked down in the village, Stribe knocked on the door but no on answered, Stribe got a bit scared. The two demons walked around the house and looked in at the windows, Stribe saw his dad lay in his bed and he was... sick. A tear come out of Stribes eye, the man got a fit of coughing, the man tried to say something Shiroi couldn't hear it... but Stribe could "goodbye Stribe... follow your dreams my brave boy". The man closed his eyes for the last time, Shiroi laid a hand on Stribes shoulder "I didn't wished you should see that... but remember one day you will be together again" Shiroi said, Stribe didn't answer, the two began to walk home. Everyone got surprised that they have wondered why the two have being away nearly one day "where have you guys been" Kjartan asked and took some more beer, "Kjartan can I talk with you alone?" Shiroi asked, Elsa could see that Stribe was sad and followed him over to his tent and laid him in his bed "don't worry my loved one... its okay" she said and pottered Stribe "I just wanna die... I just wanna fucking die" Stribe whispered, "don't say such a thing" Elsa said and laid a coat of animal fur over Stribe. Stribe began to sleep... he dreamed he was with his dad... that he could see his face again, the days where moving slow, Stribe was nearly always laying in his bed, he only came out to eat. Sergei walked into the tent "oi" Sergei said a bit sad, Stribe didn't wanted to answer... if Sergei haven't forced him to go away his dad maybe still would be with him "go away..." Stribe said and pulled the coat of animal fur over his head. "Listen Stribe... you haven't notice the most important thing in this pack" Sergei said and pottered Stribe "what is it" Stribe said and you could clearly hear he was crying "that we are a family... I don't know if it any comfort but... I would do want ever I can for you in the place of your human dad and your real dad" Sergei said "what do you mean" Stribe asked "I will take both of your fathers place... if you will let me" Sergei answered "will you let me do that?" Sergei asked "yeah... dad" Stribe said and hugged Sergei. In the past few days Stribe had learned to miss behave, swear and what else suited a good demon. "How are my little demon doing today?" Elsa asked when she saw Stribe "your little demon is doing great and how about you?" Stribe said with a smile "I'm also fine... I'm so glad you have is happy again" Elsa said a bit relieved "well gotta run have to meet Sergei.. he have promised me that we are going to tease the troll again" Stribe said laughing with the though of teasing the troll again "well then you better hurry" Elsa said with a smile and then Stribe ran off. A few minutes after Stribe and Sergei came running into the camp and was laughing "that was fun dad!" Stribe said happy "yeah it was sonny" Sergei answered and sad down, "are we always going to stay here?" Stribe asked "maybe we are going to travel sometimes but this will always be our home" Sergei said and winked. A few day after Sergei got the order to travel to the Konoha village, Stribe was a bit sad that he was going to say goodbye to his home but Sergei promised that they would come back. The travel lasted many days but Stribes curiosity was driving him further to see what there was around then next corner, finally they reached Konoha village, they was resting in front of the ninja school where the hokage was. "See ya in some hours" Sergei said with a smile and walked inside the building, Stribe sad out side and looked at the blue sky and closed his eyes and enjoyed it. "What are you doing?" a voice said, Stribe opened his eyes to see who it was and sadly enough it was Kokuzuko "what do you think I'm doing your idiot" Stribe growled "shut up your damn brat" Kokuzuko growled back, "Stribe come here" Kjartan said and Stribe walked over to Kjartan "well well... lucky mommy turned up" Kokuzuko teased Kjartan. "This mommy will rip out your tongue if you don't shut the fuck up" Kjartan said, Kokuzuko looked with a mean look at Stribe and Kjartan and then walked away, "thanks" Stribe said and was glad that Kokuzuko had leafed "your welcome... if he ever bother you than just tell me" Kjartan said and pottered Stribes hair a bit and then walked in side the building like Sergei. The group was in Konoha for many day, everything was very peacefully but in the past few days Kokuzuko had began to hate Stribe even more and was meaner and meaner to him, kicking him, swearing at him, teasing him and trip sby up. Stribe walked over to Elsa, he could hardly walk, blood was flooding from his leg "what happen my friend?" Elsa asked "well... Kokuzuko trip sby up... and I then I felled down on a rock" Stribe said.. he was tired of Kokuzuko always being after him. "That's it!" Kjartan screamed and walked over to Sergei there were sitting with Stribe "you gotta do something... he is the worst demon" Kjartan screamed "well... don't worry I will take care of him" Sergei said and pottered Stribe "please there is no need.." Stribe said but Kjartan interrupted "he has being messing with you... your suppose to kill him!" he said. "Stribe can't you be a little over with Elsa" Sergei said and Stribe did as he was told. Sergei and Kjartan leaved the camp but came back after some hours, "Stribe... this is you finally test... if you succeed then your a true demon" Sergei said and walked over to Stribe with a cup that you couldn't see what there was in it. Sergei sad the cup on the ground "drink it" he said with a stubborn and hard voice, Stribe looked down in the cup it was filled with something red "what is it..." he asked a bit curious "nothing special..." Sergei answered and sad down on a bench not far away. "Well it gotta be something.." Stribe asked, then he though of something "where is Kokuzuko?..." Stribe asked nervous "you don't need to wonder about him any more" Sergei said with a hard look... he was so different "yeah... I don't think you will have any problem with him anymore" Kjartan said and smiled. Stribe looked down in the cup "do... you really want me to drink his blood?" Stribe asked with fear in his voice, Sergei got surprised that Stribe could figure out what it was "Stribe... if you where wounded and the only survivor of a war... all you mates are dead.. would you then stave to dead or eat your mates?" Sergei asked "I would stave to dead!" Stribe screamed. Sergei got surprised when he heard the answer "Stribe the life as an warrior isn't as honour full as you think.." Sergei said with a calm voice.. he though that Stribe maybe would understand if he talked with a relaxed voice, "I don't give a damn! I won't fucking eat my friends" Stribe screamed. Stribe looked down at the cup of blood, Stribe kicked it away "I won't fucking drink it!" he screamed. Everyone was chocked and surprised over seeing Stribe kicking the blood away, Sergei got furious "what the fuck are you doing!" he screamed but Stribe didn't answer and walked away. A tear hit the madras "dad... Kjartan... Shiroi... Elsa" he whispered.. he could hardly speak.. his heart was hurting.
