Horror Movie Fan001: Yeah, I apologize for the long wait here.
Enjoy the next chapter.
The six demonesses looked at Iruma before Eiko stepped closer and shook her head, "I-Iruma…are you sure that they're your parents? How did they even get down here?"
"They are…and I'd like to know that too," Iruma narrowed his eyes, walking past the demons and over to the two humans before glaring down at them with a hardened look crossing his face, "How in the hell did you get down here? The demons at customs would've stopped you immediately, and even still, Ameri's parents work at the Demon Border Patrol,"
"We can ask you the same thing," the man glared at the Changeling, "You should've been home, helping us with the-"
"You mean treating him like dirt, forcing him to steal so you don't have to work, starving him to near death so he'd do what he was told?" Mana narrowed her eyes as her daughter, Clara, Ameri, Elizabetta, Kerori and Eiko looked at her in disbelief, "Don't think for a minute I didn't find out what his life was like when he first got here. Why he didn't turn into a predator and kill you idiots is beyond me," the pink-haired demoness looked at Iruma as he cupped a hand over his eyes and shook his head, "I'm sorry, Iruma, I know you didn't want the girls to know what your life was like before you came here, bu-"
"Not…not that…animals are talking to me and they're both pissed and trying to tell me something," everyone looked at him in confusion before he growled and moved his hand away and looked down at his claws. He looked at his parents and shook his head, "So…apparently an animal in my subconscious can tear open interdimensional doorways and that's how I ended up here…and I'm not going back to the hell that was my life with you bastards…now how did you end up here?"
His mother sighed and shook her head, "Mr. Yagi, you remember Mr. Yagi, right?"
"No,"
"Well, he's a demonologist and he taught us how to open a doorway into the Netherworld, and he taught us how to clear our minds in case something was to happen. He asked why we wanted to go to the Netherworld, and we told him we wanted to try and get some gold and jewels, which he told us not to,"
"You should've listened to him,"
"And so, we told him off, got what we needed and now we're here," the woman finished and Iruma's left eye began twitching, "What?"
"A…a reverse summoning circle? Are you kidding me!" he walked towards his parents as they jumped up and stepped back towards the wall, "A reverse summoning circle!" he punched the wall as his parents ran and hid under the table before Iruma turned his attention to the table, "You dumbasses!" he kicked the table into two as his parents ran and pressed themselves against the wall again as the demons looked at him with shocked and frightened expressions as Iruma grabbed the two table pieces and looked back and barked, "And you came here the with intention to try and steal from demons!" he threw the table pieces back at his parents as they ducked before Iruma's body began twisting in pain.
The demons and humans stared in horror as a Chimera stood in front of the two humans, growling as it stepped closer to them, "Iruma-kins!" the animal stopped as Clara, Ameri, Elizabetta, Eiko, Kerori and Haruno stood between the humans and the Chimera, "Stop it, Iruma-kins!"
"What the hell are you girls doing!" Ameri's father demanded.
"Iruma told us that there are two animals he can turn into that he can barely control," Ameri answered her father, her eyes locked on the Chimera in front of her, "The first one is this, a Chimera, he told us that if, for what ever reason he were to turn into a Chimera that one of us…that is me, Clara, Haruno, Eiko, Elizabetta or Kerori should stand in front of him and he'll back down,"
"Okay…and why one of you and no one else?" the six demonesses shrugged their shoulders before Eiko's mother inhaled slowly and shook her head, "Alright, and what's the second animal?"
"He called it primal," Kerori answered, "He didn't tell us how he turns into it, but he said that no one will be able to stop him until the reason he turned into it is taken care of," the adults stared at them in confusion, "He doesn't know the name of it and he won't tell us what will trigger him to turn into primal," the ice demoness looked at the Chimera in front of them and slowly stretched her arm out, "It'll be okay, Iruma. Ameri's parents will handle this. They'll erase their memories of today and send them back to the human world,"
The Chimera growled at them before lowering its head and Elizabetta began petting its mane, "It'll be okay, Iruma," the tall beauty demoness softly spoke, "Just calm down and turn back into yourself, Iruma,"
The Chimera continued to growl before it began to whimper and Haruno scratched behind its left ear, "It's okay, Iruma. Ameri's parents will take care of this and you won't have to see your parents ever again…but the six of us would like to talk to you about how your parents treated you," the Chimera looked up with wide eyes and saw the six staring down with hardened expressions before the Chimera began to twist in pain and Iruma stood in front of the demonesses, "Better?"
"No," Iruma turned and grabbed his parents by the arms and pulled them up before throwing them towards Ameri's parents, "Get rid of them. Bleach their minds for all I the damns that I give, just get them out of the Netherworld," everyone frowned as Iruma turned and walked to his room before Clara, Ameri, Haruno, Eiko, Elizabetta and Kerori followed him and Ameri's parents escorted Iruma's parents out of the mansion.
The six demonesses sat on the bed while Iruma leaned up against the wall with his arms crossed and his eyes narrowed, "So…you six want to talk to me about my parents?"
"What did my mother mean when she said that they treated you like dirt, forced you to steal for them and starved you to near death?" Haruno shook her head, "Tell us she was exaggerating or something, because there's no way tha-"
"My parents did that and more," the room fell silent for a moment before Iruma sighed and shook his head, "I told you six when we met that my parents weren't good people, I never specified how horrible they were. They treated me like trash before my accident and after your families and grandpa and Opera injected me with the vaccine and I turned into a fox…I did what any 5-year-old boy would do while surrounded by unknown demons…I ran…I ran back home, and my parents learned of my abilities and used them to their advantage.
I later found out I was supposed to die from my accident so my parents could collect a life insurance policy they placed on me and soon after that, I came here," he looked up and saw the stunned expressions crossing their faces, "For the first seven years of my life, I've been through hell and then I came to the Netherworld and for the first time, I felt like I could relax and enjoy myself," Iruma took a deep breath, "And now I know why my instincts were screaming at me to stay the hell away from the mansion for a while,"
"We're sorry, Iruma-kins," Clara frowned and Iruma looked at the green-haired demon as she hung her head, "We should have listened to you when you said you had to stay away," Iruma sighed before he walked over to her and patted the top of her head. Clara looked up with wide eyes, "Iruma-kins?"
"C'mon Clara, I'm not mad." Iruma assured with a slight smile, "I didn't know why my instincts were yelling at me, but now we do and…it's fine," Clara faintly smiled and nodded, "That being said…why did you tell your parents about the Chimera and more importantly primal?"
"If we haven't had told them what we were doing while you were the Chimera then they would've done something that would've scared you and the last thing we need is a frightened dragon, scorpion, lion hybrid," Ameri answered and Iruma looked away, "And what's wrong with them knowing about primal? What if you turn into it and they don't know it's you an-"
'That's not the point, the point is someone is going to fine my triggers and force me into primal just to see me lose control,"
"Triggers?" Haruno's eyes widened, "As in more than one?" Iruma growled under his breath and shook his head, "What are the triggers, Iruma?"
"The triggers ar-" he looked up with wide eyes before he sighed and looked away again, "Don't worry about it…if no one knows the triggers than primal will stay in containment,"
The six narrowed their eyes, ready to argue before they heard a voice say from the door, "And that's all you will be able to et out of him tonight," everyone looked up to see the adults stepping into the room, "You girls know how Iruma gets. When he wants to keep something a secret, he'll refuse to speak to anyone and trying to read his thoughts would only anger the boy,"
"But…what if something does trigger it and we'd have no idea how to stop him?" Eiko questioned.
"You six, your families, grandpa and Opera will be safe," everyone looked at Iruma as he looked out the window and crossed his arms, "Everyone else would be in danger…I wouldn't care who they are. If something does happen and primal takes hold…then…I wouldn't be able to stop it until the threat is eliminated."
"What about Asmodeus?" Haruno arched a brow, "He's one of your friends…wouldn't he be safe?" Iruma hummed as he shook his head, "Then…why us? Why our families?" Iruma looked back before he shook his head and looked out the window again, "Iru-"
"That's enough, Haruno," her father said, "He's not talking anymore,"
The six inhaled slowly before Elizabetta's mother spoke, "Why don't you girls stay here for the weekend," the teenagers looked at the tall beauty in confusion, "Well…you six know how to settle Iruma down if he turns into that Chimera again and it's the weekend,"
"I only turned into the Chimera because I was agitated that my parents were here in the Netherworld, there's no way that I'll turn into that again an-"
"Better safe than sorry, my darling grandson," Iruma groaned as Sullivan continued, "So it's settled. I'll have Opera prepare the guest room immediately," the adults turned and walked out of the room, leaving the stunned teenagers alone.
Again, I'd like to apologize here…I have nothing to add other than that…enjoy.
