Chapter 6 - Revenge - Part 2

Iori started to get up from the bed leaving both Miu and Jun sleeping on his bed.

"(So, this was your brillant two for one plan?)" - Thought Iori angry at having to please these two women

"(Oh, c'mon! You were not complaining when you were having fun with them.)" - Replied the Incubus's voice

"(Whatever, I can't stay all day here.)" - Thought Iori dressing up and preparing himself to visit the graveyard.

Iori went out of the apartment leaving both women there still sleeping

Graveyard.

As Yagami arrives at the cementery he enters to where the tombstones of his parents are

"What? You really thought I would forget about it, father?" - Says Iori putting two small roses in his parents graves

"Unlike you, I did remember your birthday!" - Said Iori getting up

"Miserable bastard, you died when I needed you the most and what you let me with was just this burden... This curse. Grrr..." - Said Iori

"(Iori, you will never accomplish nothing with that mentality!)" - Iori remembered one of the last moments he spended with his father

"(But dad, I'm trying to follow your movements but is hard.)" - Said the young Iori trying to learn the basics of his clan's fighting style

"(No, no! You're doing it wrong! We will have to start again.)" - Said Yagami's dad

"(Again? But I don't want to do it.)" - Said the young Yagami not wanting to continue with the training

"(What did you said?)" - Iori's father

"(That I don't want to learn how to fight, I want to be a great musician!)" - Confessed Iori making his dad just look at him with anger

"(So, you don't want to learn the style of our clan? Oh you will do it and you will like it!)" - Said Iori's dad slaping Iori in the face sending him to the ground

"(Argh!)" - Iori tried to get up grabing his cheek in pain

"(I blame your mother for giving you that stupid idea of being a musician!)" - Said Iori's dad remembering how his wife was a musician and how Iori found all her belongings including her piano and some pictures she had

"(Listen, Iori. I don't care what you will do with your life! Nobody in our clan lives more than thirty years so before is too late, I want to teach you everything I know. So I can know at least you're not a weakling before I die.)" - Said Iori's dad

"(Y-Yes, dad.)" - Said Iori continuing with his training

"And to think you were such a scumbag to cheat on your wife with someone else to create Tsuki." - Said Iori remembering the fact that his father cheated on his dead wife with another woman creating his stepsister Tsuki

"But now I got a chance to surpass this curse and finish with my mission once and for all!" - Iori

"I wont end like you! You disgusting idiot! I'll survive this, even if I have to give my soul to another demon." - Said Iori thinking about the Incubus

"Huh?" - In that moment Iori hears some footsteps, he sees a girl wearing a school uniform with a red ribbon in her hair and a black haired man entering the graveyard to put some flowers on certain tombstone

"(A hawk?)" - Iori hears the sound of a hawk, as he looks at the sky. He sees one flying above the graveyard. This confuses him a bit but he doesn't pay too much attention

"(I better go now.)" - Thinks Iori abandoning the graveyard as these two people just look at him firmly

Iori's apartment

Iori returned to his apartment just to find a letter left by both Jun and Miu.

"(Now they want me to pick one of the two? I'm not in the mood to do this type of stuff.)" - Thought Iori after seeing their letter

"(These two really think I'm interested in them... How cute.)" - Thought Iori as he burned the letter

"(You know, now that they are infected by the pheromones they will probably come back for you when they felt the need to be pleased.)" - Talked the Incubus's voice

"(Good for them but I think I got bored of these two already.)" - Thought Iori answering to his incubus persona

Later that night

A girl of large brown hair is seen walking out of the Red Canary club

"(Man, that Iori Yagami has such a lovely voice!)" - Thought the girl thinking about the concert of Iori in the club

The cellphone of the woman starts sounding

"Oh, sorry dad. Yes- I'm fine, I'm returning home from the club, yes I know is a little late but don't worry I'll take a shortcut." - Said Kimiko to her dad

"(This is the alley, the locals said that this place is haunted by demons and ghosts with tons of crazy stories. They said not even the Yakuza or the other gangs would dare to walk among this cursed alley.)" - Thought Kimiko thinking about the legends and rumors she had hear about the alley know as the devil's room

"(Is just an alley, crossing it shouldn't be that hard, right? Some crazy stories said that the devil appears here taking the form of a handsome young men to attract any woman that he sees...)" - Kimiko started entering the alley

"(This will be more easy than I thought.)" - Kimiko was in the middle of the alley at this point

"GRRR..." - A strange sound was hear in the dark alley catching the attention of the girl

"WHO IS THERE?!" - Screams the girl using his phone to light the last part of the alley

"GRRR... Y-YOU!" - Says a strange creature of dark purple skin with wings and large red hair standing in the entrance of the alley

"WHO ARE YOU?!" - Says Kimiko scared as the creature starts walking towards her slowy

"TAKE IT! TAKE ALL MY MONEY! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" - Screams Kimiko throwing her cellphone and wallet at the creature, as she starts begging for her life

"I don't want none of that." - Strange creature

"WHAT?" - Kimiko

"I want you!" - Says the strange creature launching himself against Kimiko with his two claws

"ARGGGH!" - Kimiko screamed as the glow of the moon brights with intensity

The next morning

"Arg! What the hell happen?" - Says Iori waking up outside a mall

Iori gets up and starts checking himself and his stuff, when he founds a wallet that doesn't belong to him in his pocket

"Kimiko Tanaka? What is this woman's wallet doing in my pocket? Did I-I?!" - Iori realized his Incubus self had done something terrible last night

"(If you want to know, she is still alive. She struggled a bit but she ended up giving up to her lustful desires at the end.)" - Said the Incubus persona

"(Remember Yagami, to become stronger-)" - Incubus

"Some sacrifices must be done. I know!" - Interrupted Yagami leaving the wallet on the ground as he walked out of there

Iori now decides to walk back towards his aparment as he knows tonight he has to go to the Red Canary club to play.

Two days later

Coming out of a big building a young woman of brown hair walks back to her house after a rough day in her part-time job

"(What a rough day! This late turns are killing me. Why my boss has to be such an asshole! I wouldn't be surprised if he hated me as much as I hate him.)" - Thought Yuki starting to walk back to her house

"(Kyo, were these tournaments more important than our relatioship?)" - Thought Yuki looking at the sky

"(I hate to admit it but I kinda miss him... M-Maybe I shouldn't have treated him that bad. Is just that after his sudden disappearence in 97 and sudden return in 2002 it felt like our relation didn't mean anything to him anymore.)" - Yuki

"(Is like he had become so distant with everyone. There wasn't any chemistry at all between us again, the thought of breaking with him came alot of times to my mind but I wasn't sure.)" - Thought Yuki remembering ignoring Kyo's phonecalls and messages

"(I just wanted an explanation! I wanted to know what was more important than me, but I guess I was expecting too much from you.)" - Yuki

"(My father was right! I should have listened to him years ago but I was such a fool! Is clear you must be enjoying your life without me.)" - Thought Yuki remembering Kyo had stopped sending her messages a month ago

As Yuki walked through the streets towards the next bus station she sees a strange man walking among the people

"(See anything you like?)" - Said the Incubus voice in Iori's mind as he looked at the women in the streets wanting to quench his thirst

"(Nothing that calls my attention really.)" - Answered Iori

"(Damn, you're so hard to please.)" - Said the Incubus's voice

"(Wait a moment! She!)" - Thought Iori looking at a young woman sitting waiting on a bench to catch the bus a few meters away from him

"(Kusanagi's ex-girlfriend... Kushinada!)" - Said both Iori and his Incubus self in his mind

"(I had only see her once before. Back in 2000 when NESTS's sended some of their minions after her as a trap to make Kusanagi come out and try to rescue her, after Kusanagi had escaped from their labs.)" - Thought Iori remembering the one time he interacted with Yuki

"(I wasn't interested in helping this girl but back there NESTS was getting in the way of my battle with him.)" - Iori remembered some of the words he exchanged with Yuki

"(Bah, why would I want to waste my time with her?)" - Iori was about to leave

"(You really think we will get any stronger by just coming here for nothing? Go ahead, Yagami! Talk to her! Or do you want Kusanagi to still step on you?)" - Demanded the Incubus

The Incubus had a point, Iori wanted to become stronger without needing from Orochi anymore like the Incubus had promised. He swallowed his pride and walked towards Yuki

"(That man, he has been there looking everywhere but now is walking towards here. He looks kinda familiar.)" - Thought Yuki looking at Yagami walking towards her

Yuki keeps looking at the silent Yagami. Making him start to get annoyed

"What are you looking at, girl?" - Asked Iori in a annoyed tone

"Oh, excuse me! But I think we have meet before, right?" - Said Yuki nervous

"Yes." - Answered Iori in a dry tone

"It was around 2000, when I told you to leave when you were being followed by a strange men." - Said Yagami remembering his first encounter with Yuki

"I-Is true, you're him!" - Said Yuki remembering when Iori saved her from being kidnapped by NESTS

"Say, I never got a chance to thank you for saving me. It meaned alot back there and I always wondered what happened to you." - Said Yuki getting up and approaching Yagami

"Listen, it wasn't my intention at the time. To be frank I'm not even sure why I did it, I guess I just couldn't allow a innocent person be hurt." - Said Iori making Yuki blush a little

"(That's it, Iori! Pretend to act like a hero.)" - Said the Incubus's voice

"Well, thank you." - Said Yuki as her expression changed to a depressed one

"What happened? You didn't have that expression before when we first meet." - Said Iori noticing her face

"... Do you remember the person I said I was waiting for at the time and that you made me remember him as you were strong just like him?" - Yuki

"Yes, I told you I could be fixed with him as you told me you were hoping for him to come back soon." - Iori

"I ended everything between me and him." - Confessed Yuki to Iori who wasn't surprised at all having hearing it before from Kusanagi

"Are you refering to Kusanagi... Kyo?" - Iori

"How do you know his name?" - Yuki was surprised

"Have you ever watched these tournaments he has participated in before? Those KoF tournaments?" - Iori

"No, due to my time as a student and my part-time work I almost never watched these tournaments. But I know about them, in fact the only time I watched one was many years ago in 94. When Kyo and his friends Benimaru and Daimon were chosen to represent Japan in that tournament. I think I remember seeing him fighting with some guy named Terry." - Said Yuki remembering the only time she saw a KoF tournament in person

"(You know, I'm actually interested in knowing how these two meet in first place? Did Kusanagi losed a bet to her and she forced him to be her boyfriend? Because for what she is telling is almost as if Kusanagi didn't care that much about her to begin with.)" - Said the Incubus voice

"(I don't know nor do I care. The only thing I know is that apparently the Kusanagi family is in charge of protecting the virgin descendants of the Kushinada like her, thought I wonder if even Kusanagi's parents ever told her about all the mess that happened in those cursed Tournaments.)" - Replied Iori to his Incubus persona remembering some stuff that he had learn about the rival clan

"So you and Kusanagi break up." - Iori

"I'm starting to believe he wasn't never honest with me in first place, I think all this time he was hiding something from me?" - Said Yuki

"And you're not wrong, Kusanagi, his family and even certain friend from him Kagura have been hiding something from you. Something that happened in 97." - Iori managed to make Yuki surprised

"What do you mean by that? Kagura? Like the owner of Kagura Enterprises? What does she has to do with me?" - Yuki

"Tell me, what do you remember about a few days before the KoF tournament of 97 started?" - Iori

"The tournament of 97? I-I don't remember well, sorry. I think I was studying to finish high school." - Said Yuki a bit confused as her memories about that year were very vague

"(Typical of you, Kagura. You erased a whole year from her memories. Foolish woman, always screwing up things!)" - Thought Iori

"(You know she was forced by Kusanagi to do it. She didn't want to do it.)" - Said the Incubus

"(She refused to listen to me and always ends up creating more problems that what she solves.)" - Replied Iori

"So, do you know something that Kyo and this Kagura woman do that I don't?" - Yuki

"I know alot! Normally I wouldn't say anything to you and I would told you to search for answers with Kusanagi or Kagura but I feel a little generous today." - Iori

"I'll tell you everything! Even my conection to that idiot Kusanagi but not here." - Said Iori

"(Something tells me I shouldn't trust him. What if he is a serial killer and wants to trick me into believing he knows Kyo or this Kagura woman?)" - Yuki's head was full of questions as she was confused and afraid Yagami had dark intentions with her

"Sorry but today I have to return earlier back home. May-Maybe other time!" - Said Yuki as she turned and started walking nervous back home

"Don't you want to know what Kusanagi has been doing these past days?!" - Said Iori catching the attention of Yuki

"What do you mean? Kyo is probably wasting his time being a lazy bum like always. Is that what you're going to tell me?" - Said Yuki returning walking back to Iori

"Hehehe, you couldn't be more wrong! Tell me have you hear about the rumors of the Idol Athena Asamiya and her new boyfriend?" - Said Iori surprising Yuki

"What are you refering to? What does Athena's private life has to do with Kyo?" - Yuki

"(Sigh) Really woman?" - Said Iori with a facepalm

"(Hasn't she get it? Now I understand why she was Kusanagi's girlfriend, only very dumb woman like her or the idol would fell in love with a good for nothing pretencious idiot like Kusanagi!)" - Thought Iori disappointed that Yuki didn't get the indirect

"There's a reason why I was walking towards the stadium! Let's just said your ex is having a good time in the arms of the idol girl." - Said Iori

"What?! Athena with Kyo?" - Yuki

"Alright, please take me where Kyo is?!" - Said Yuki grabing Iori's arms asking him to take her to the stadium

"Then follow me! We might arrive just in time before the show is completely over." - Iori

Iori and Yuki started walking towards the stadium as Iori explained her the recent rumors about Athena and Kusanagi

"You're lying isn't it?" - Yuki

"Why I would do it? I'm not friend of Kusanagi, Kagura or Asamiya. Nor do I care if you believe me or not." - Iori

"Athena would never do something like this without telling me! She is a good friend of mine, we meet when she became a interchange student for a time back in 96." - Said Yuki

"She is a great friend, in fact one of my few true friends and her relation with Kyo is a friendly one. If she had something with him, sh-she would have told me that." - Said Yuki feeling insecure and trying to still think good of Athena

"How ignorant can you be? Have you never bothered to ask yourself why Kusanagi and the little idol were such good friends? She worried about the guy alot and if you had seen the tournaments you probably had realize there was something more than friendship." - Said Iori as Yuki just looked down while both walked

"(Stop getting in my way if you don't want to get hurt!)" - Said Iori remembering one time Athena had interrupted a fight between him a Kyo during 96, when Iori meet with Kyo, Kensou and Athena visiting Kyo's cousin Souji

"(Athena, I think we should go!)" - Said Kensou getting up after being throwed by Yagami to the ground, trying to get away from the conflict between Kyo and Iori

"(Stop this, Iori! If you want to fight with Kyo, why don't you save those energies for the tournament?)" - Athena

"(Don't waste your time, Athena. Trying to talk with that guy is like talking to a wall, he wants to kill me and won't doubt in hurting you or Kensou to start a fight.)" - Said Kyo looking at Yagami

"(There's something different about him than when both fought in the last tournament. He is not fighting to win anymore, he is fighting to kill him! He wants to kill Kyo not matter who gets in his way.)" - Thought Athena realizing certain strange aura around Iori

"(You really think I care about those dumb tournaments isn't it? Why waiting when I can finish with him right here! Right now!)" - Said Iori preparing to strike both Kyo and Athena

"(If you want to get in my way, fine! Die alongside him.)" - Iori now very close to both tried to kill them with his flames

"(Athena! Kyo!)" - Said Kensou trying to get up to stop Yagami but he was very far

For the surprise of Iori, Athena does her technique Psycho reflector managing to protect herself and Kyo. Iori's flames clashed with the shield sending both Iori and Athena flying backwards

"(Athena!)" - Kyo quickly managed to catch Athena in his arms avoiding her going to the ground

"(Argh!)" - Iori was sended flying to the ground, he started to get up realizing his hand have been injured by the clash of power

"(... Kyo.)" - Said Athena managing to open her eyes again seeing Kyo holding her

"(I don't understand it. This girl! Is this girl not afraid of me?! What kind of woman on her senses would risk her life to protect a guy like Kusanagi?)" - Iori was astonished, for him to know there was someone so reckless to dare to get in his way to protect his rival was something very strange for him.

Suddenly the killer feeling deep inside Iori was gone for his surprise.

"(This is depressing!)" - Said Iori starting to leave seeing Kyo and Kensou grabing a semi-unconscious Athena ending Iori's memory

"(At the time I didn't understood it but as time went by I realized there was something between these two more than just friendship.)" - Thought Iori as he and Yuki were arriving to the stadium

"It seens the show is over." - Said Yuki seeing people coming out of the stadium

"Not yet, we arrived to see the main show!" - Said Iori taking Yuki to the parking lot of the stadium

For Yuki's surprise she managed to recognize Kyo there waiting for someone in his bike

"Kyo?!" - Yuki

"Exactly, and look who is coming there." - Iori pointed towards the exit of the stadium as both he and Yuki saw Athena coming to the parking lot

For Yuki's disbelief he sees Athena recieving Kyo with a hug as they start sharing a kiss with passion there on the parking lot

"Kyo?! Athena?!" - Yuki couldn't believe what she was seeing as both Kyo and Athena started to get on Kyo's bike and both drive out of the parking lot

"ATHENA!" - Said Yuki in an angry tone

Yuki started to remember something

"(Today's homework seens pretty easy, we will finish in no time if we team up, Yuki.)" - Said Athena to Yuki as both were walking out of the school

"(Hey, Athena. I know this is very sudden but I wanted to ask you something?)" - Yuki

"(Yes, what is it, Yuki?)" - Said Athena as both stopped walking

"(Is there something between you and Kyo that I dont know about?)" - Asked Yuki

"(What? Yuki, how many times I have to tell you we are just friends. I know you probably have some doubts on our friendship but if I had something with him, I would tell you right away.)" - Athena

"(Really? Oh sorry, Athena. I think I was acting a bit jealous.)" - Said Yuki apologizing to Athena ending her memory

"(How could I be so blind! There was something between you and Kyo all this time.)" - Thought Yuki feeling betrayed by both Kyo and Athena

"(Athena always enjoyed of having everything being given to her in silver platter. While people like me break our backs trying to survive in this world. Now she even has that idiot in her arms. I should had know it! She was never my friend.)" - Yuki

"I hate you both! I hate you two, Kyo Kusanagi and Athena Asamiya! Both like to pretend they are such good kids until they stab you in the back! You two liers deserve each other, a third rate mediocre J-Pop Idol and a good for nothing brat!" - Said Yuki screaming with all her fury as she kicks a trashcan in front of Iori

Yuki walks out of the parking lot and sits in a bench outside the stadium

"(Now is our chance!)" - Said the Incubus

"Hmph!" - Iori walked to where Yuki was crying and offered her a napkin to clean her tears

"You must be happy now. I don't even know you but it seens even you knew Kyo better than me." - Yuki

"Well, you never asked my name." - Iori

"Who are you?" - Asked Yuki trying to hold her tears

"My name is Iori Yagami, and there's more stuff that I felt you need to know." - Iori

"I'm Yuki, Yuki Kushinada. Tell me what else should I know that Kyo didn't tell me?" - Said Yuki curious as she cleans her tears

"Good, I'll tell you but not here. Come with me!" - Iori took Yuki to another place

The Red Canary Club

Iori had taken Yuki to the club where he sings. Here he explained everything to her. Revealing all about the legend of Yamata no Orochi and the Kusanagi, Yasakani and Yata clans, as well as the rivalry that he and his rival as well as their families had over 660 years ago. About the Hakkesshu, why Yuki was a target for them because her bloodline is important to Orochi in relation to the eight Kushinada virgins and about NESTS and why he decided to step in to prevent them from kidnapping her.

"So all this time he was hiding all this information from me?" - Said Yuki taking a drink as she was surprised by all the revelations Iori did to her

"Is all truth." - Said Iori taking a drink

"(So that Kagura woman erased my memories from 97, all those fuzzy memories where just fake memories created by her.)" - Thought Yuki angry about what Chizuru did to her

"... Thank you, Iori. You don't have any idea how happy I'm to finally meet someone honest." - Said Yuki smiling to Iori

"(You felt that Iori? All the hate and jealous emotions of Yuki towards Athena and Kusanagi, this is so delicious!)" - Said the Incubus

"You shouldn't felt bad for breaking out with that bastard. Kusanagi, Asamiya and Kagura just played with you. But me, I'm not like them! Not in the slightest." - Iori

"(He is very similar to Kyo but at the same time very different. So mysterious! So charming! So handsome!)" - Thought Yuki looking at Yagami

"(There's something about her that reminds me... Reminds me of Konoe and Kikuri!)" - Thought Iori as being with Yuki gave him some memories of two woman that worked with him in the past on his ealier music days, Konoe Tanima and Kikuri Tanima who was deceased

"(She looks alot like Konoe.)" - Thought Iori comparing Yuki to the Tanima woman

"So here's where you work? I must admit I like this place, a little expensive but not bad." - Said Yuki looking at the place, it seen she was having a good time with Iori

"Yes, I come to play here some days." - Said Iori in a serious tone

"How did you ended up with an fool like Kusanagi?" - Said Iori trying to continue his conversation with her

"Well, is a funny story." - Yuki started remembering

"(Kusanagi!)" - Said Yuki entering the classroom seeing Kyo sleeping there alone

"(Oh great, is you Yuki!)" - Said Kyo in a sarcastic tone

"(What's wrong? You have been avoiding me ever since I told you we should be a couple? You haven't answered my proposition.)" - Said Yuki in a annoyed tone

"(Ugh, again with that. Listen, I feel we should just stay as friends for now. Maybe next year we could try be a coupl...)" - Kyo was unable to complete his sentence as Yuki grabed his shoulders

"(No way! I'm tired of waiting for an answer! And I'm ready to take our relation in the next stage. How about a bet? What's wrong? You told me you like challenges.)" - Said Yuki grabing a coin

"(I see you. Alright! But I warn you that I have a pretty good luck when it comes to bets.)" - Kyo

"(If I win, you will be my boyfriend from now on!)" - Said Yuki

"(If I win, you will stop bothering me with that.)" - Kyo

"(Deal!)" - Yuki

Kyo had a game of heads or tails with Yuki, the result ended with Kyo losing

"(What?!)" - Kyo was unable to believe he had loss to someone like Yuki

"(Well, guess that's that! I want you to come for me tomorrow at 9:00 AM, and be presentable. Try to make a good impression with my father.)" - Said Yuki as Kyo just had his hands on his head thinking Yuki had cheated somehow

"And that's how our relationship started." - Yuki looked down

"(Seriously?! That's the stupidest story I have ever heared!)" - Iori couldn't believe such story was truth

"(Told ya!)" - Said the Incubus voice

"So?" - Iori

"What?" - Yuki

"You and Kusanagi ever did that?" - Asked Iori

"No, that good for nothing jerk was more interested in traveling for those tournaments and we barely saw each other after 2002." - Said Yuki in a angry tone

"I see." - Iori

"(Hehehe, are you thinking what I think, Iori?)" - Said The Incubus in Iori's mind

"(You really have no shame, isn't it? Taking advantage of Kusanagi's stupid Ex? Do I really want to do that?)" - Iori questioned if he was really going to take advantage of Yuki

Suddenly Iori's hands start trembling again. Making Yuki worried

"Iori! Is something wrong?" - Said Yuki worried looking at Iori's hands

"Everything is ok!" - Said Iori managing to control himself as now both were looking at each other eyes

"(He-He is so charming!)" - Thought Yuki completely losing herself in Iori's eyes

For Yagami's surprise Yuki launched towards him and starts kissing him with passion. Yagami know he had managed to seduce her as he answered to her kiss grabing her head

"That was so good!" - Said Yuki feeling very dizzy after taking a break from her kiss with Iori

"(Think about it, Iori? If you take the virginity of the last descedant of the Kushinada, Orochi will not be able to use her in his plans anymore!)" - Said the Incubus realizing having a night with Yuki would be a fun way to give the bird to Orochi

"(Hmph! Now that you mention him, I haven't hear his voice in quite sometime ever since you arrived. I also realize now I'm able to use my flames without feeling pain anymore.)" - Thought Iori as he created a small flame with his finger under the table. Before that using the slightest bit of his flames resulted in awful pain for Yagami

Yagami thought that he was close enough to get rid of the curse and manage to be able to continue using his flames

"Oh sorry. I shouldn't have done that!" - Said Yuki feeling embarassed of kissing Iori without permission

"There's nothing to apologize!" - Said Iori with a confident smile that generated more fear than confidence

"I. I was wondering if you would like to..." - Iori

"Yes?" - Yuki

"If you would want to help me with something?" - Iori felt weird asking that

Iori's Apartment

Both Yuki and Iori had arrived at Iori's apartment.

"So you want some inspiration for a song? That's great, I could certainly help you with that." - Said Yuki as she and Iori were on the door of Yagami's home

"Yes. I have had some ideas but this song is missing something." - Iori opened the door of his apartment

As both were inside the place, Iori walked towards the piece of furniture where his guitar was

"Here is it, mayb-" - Iori was interrupted by Yuki who launched herself towards him, kissing him with passion making Iori drop his guitar on the ground.

"(Well, that was easy!)" - Said the Incubus in Iori's mind as he was being kissed by Yuki

Without talking both walked while kissing towards the bed of Iori

"Go ahead!" - Said Yuki continuing kissing Yagami

Iori took a break from their kiss and started kissing her on the neck. Now Iori was on top of Yuki as he started to undress her

"Y-You deserved better. I'll give you better!" - Said Iori in a super confident tone removing Yuki's clothes while making her blush. As Yuki felt appreciated and happy again after so many years

"AH!" - Yuki moaned as Yagami started penetrating her with passion

"AH! Not bad!" - Said Iori

"AH!" - Yuki

"YES! YES!" - Moaned Yuki grabing herself to Iori's body with her legs and arms, as she spreaded her legs for Yagami

"Make me yours! AH! IORI!" - Yuki continued moaning for Yagami's ears

"Come on!" - Said Iori getting more deep inside her with his dick

"AH! OH!" - Yuki

"AH! AH! YES! THAT'S IT!" - Yuki

Iori started kissing her again. As both kissed each other with passion he starts realizing some strange dots are appearing in Yuki's skin

"(She is?)" - Iori

"(Exactly!)" - Confirmed the Incubus

"AH! I-I LOVE YOU! YAGAMI!" - Yuki was about to have an orgasm

"AHHH!" - Iori

"OHHHHH!" - Yuki had an orgasm as her eyes brighted with strange green light

"(Hmph!)" - Thought Iori as now both looked at each other in the eyes

"Where have you been all my life?!" - Asked Yuki with a big smile to Iori as she grabed Iori's cheek in a cute way

"If only we had meet before..." - Said Iori making her blush as he kissed her again. Both continued their night.

That night Iori had a weird dream while sleeping with Yuki

Iori suddenly wakes up in the same desertic place now appearing like a very alive field full of grass and some threes in the distance. It didn't looked like a desert anymore

"(Bravo! That was very smart of you, to give the middle finger to Orochi by taking Kushinada's virginity.)" - Said the Incubus coming out of a three

"(So, do you like what I did with this place? I wasn't a fan of the huge desert that was your soul before.)" - Incubus

"(Tell me, have you reached your full potencial yet?)" - Asked Iori serious

"(I'm only doing this for that! Only that!)" - Iori

"(Almost, we just need to do something more. Cut the bad root!)" - Incubus

After saying that the giant snake from before came out of the ground, now having only one head and looking very weak without an eye and some missing teeth

"(Yagami, you damn betrayer! How dare you to take Kushinada away from me!)" - Said the Snake coughing as he spitted three blood puddles to the ground

For the surprise of both Iori and his Incubus self. From the puddle of the middle Orochi Iori came out. However this Orochi Iori looked very different, he didn't have lips and pupils. Only two bright pale yellow eyes and a aspect that looked like a rotten zombie

"(AARRUAGH!)" - Screamed Orochi Iori running to where Iori and the Incubus were

"(You're not needed here anymore! Haven't you realize, he is mine now!)" - Said the Incubus grabing Orochi Iori by his neck with his two arms

For Yagami's shock, his Incubus self snaps the neck of Orochi Iori killing him easily

"(What is happening?)" - Said Iori as he saw the blood from the other two puddles moving

Two figures emerged from the two remaining puddles. For Iori's shock these figures were not other than Vice and Mature. The secretaries of Rugal Bernstein and members of The Hakkeshu.

"(You! What are you two witches doing here?)" - Said Iori not having seen both ghosts in a while after being infected by Jounetsu's pheromones

"(We thought you had forgotten about us, Yagami?)" - Vice

"(Look at what you did, you idiot! Do you really believe he will grant you the same power Orochi gave you?!)" - Mature

"(I don't need Orochi anymore, I don't care about what he wants nor do I regret anything I have done to destroy my link with him!)" - Iori prepared to team up with his Incubus self to get rid of Mature and Vice

"(There's still time to avoid destroying our link, Yagami. Kill that lier and fullfil your destiny! Don't make us regret having to kill you here!)" - Vice

"(You two really think you can defeat me? I'm getting rid of you two once and for all today!)" - Iori

In front of Iori's eyes Mature and Vice were cloned creating four clones of each one making it a total of eight clones

"(I'm gonna enjoy this!)" - Said The Incubus

Iori and his Incubus self fought against the clones of Mature and Vice. It was no challenge for Iori and the Incubus to get rid of most of them leaving only one Vice and Mature left

"(This ain't not over yet!)" - Vice runned alongside Mature with the intention of killing Yagami

"(I think I had enough of you two for a lifetime!)" - Said Iori as he countered both Vice and Mature killing them on a way similar to how he did in 1996

"(No! NO, I REFUSE TO GO! YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MINE, YAGAMI! ALWAY.. ARGH!" - The Snake was burned by the Incubus finally disappearing from Iori's mind

Iori wakes up now realizing Yuki had left but leaving him with a letter in his bed.

"(Yuki.)" - Iori reads the letter and realizes Yuki had fell in love with him, with her wanting to see him soon again leaving her cellphone in the letter.

One day later

Iori is seen preparing himself to go out of his apartment

"(Today is the day, Iori! Today is when Kusanagi finally dies!)" - Said the Incubus as Iori prepared himself sitting on his bed. Now the Incubus had reached his maximum potencial, Iori had never felt this confident before

"(After this, everything will change!)" - Thought Iori getting up looking at the place one last time

Iori then feels a presence there as he looks at a dark corner in his room.

"How long have you been there watching, Kagura?" - Said Iori in a serious tone as a figure emerges from the darkness of the corner

"The sufficent to know what you have been throught, Iori." - Chizuru came out of the corner

"What do you want?" - Iori asked

"I see you have got used to your new powers." - Said Chizuru

"Not really! You probably think this brings me joy but it isn't." - Iori

"Part of you would disagree with that." - Chizuru refered to the Incubus persona of Iori

"Iori. I-I." - Chizuru tried to say something but she was unable to form a sentence

"What is it, Kagura?" - Iori

"I'm sorry, for dragging you into this problem." - Said Chizuru looking down

"There's no need for that, in a way your error has granted me a chance to finish with this." - Said Iori walking close to the door

"Why are you doing this?! Don't you realize vengeance will not bring you happiness!" - Said Chizuru as some tears droped out of her eyes

Iori in that moment remembered Chizuru saying the same words the night he rejected her feelings for him.

"(Iori. I understand why are you doing it but. Don't you realize vengeance will not bring you happiness!)" - Said Chizuru to Yagami one night in the streets of Tokyo in the pale moonlight during 1998. A month before both knew Kyo Kusanagi had been kidnapped by NESTS

"(How could you understand it? Your clan always had things easier than mine. You don't know what it is to carry this burden.)" - Iori

"(This doesn't have to be like this! I-I know there's some good in you, Iori. The mirror never lies!)" - Said Kagura as some tears started droping

"(Why do you care so much about it? Are you in love with Kusanagi or what?!)" - Asked Iori in a cold tone

"(No, Iori. Is you! I...I love you with all my heart!)" - Confessed Chizuru crying

Iori was surprised but he didn't looked back.

"(If you were to stay with me, there would be no regrets. We'd be happy, there's no need to continue this cycle of hatred. Together we could change the fate of the Yasakani clan to something bright!)" - Chizuru tried to convince Iori to stop his quest for vengeance

"(That's absurd! Even you must know what happens to all the woman who married and had family with a member of my clan.)" - Iori know any woman who stayed with a member of the Yasakani clan was fated to die when giving birth

"(I know it but that will not change what I have already said! I'm willing to take the risk if is necessary to be with you!)" - Chizuru

Iori knew Chizuru's feelings were sincere and in a way he feel strange to know there was someone who worries about him enough to even take the risk of dying. For him this was similar to the reckless attitude of the Idol girl Asamiya, who didn't cared to get hurt to protect Kyo from him some years ago.

"(Don't search for me again! Is not happening!)" - Said Iori walking away leaving Chizuru looking down with sadness

Iori's memories ended as he was about to open the door of his apartment

"You haven't change anything!" - Iori

"... Iori." - Chizuru

"Even after becoming one of these creatures, your stupid feelings for me still exist within you." - Iori

"Iori, please. Don't go!" - Said Chizuru trying to stop Iori

"The only path that is left for me is vengeance! I don't plan to become your king or emperor, Empress of The Dark!" - Said Iori to Chizuru

"I-I will help you with your revenge! Anything but stay with me!" - Chizuru tried one last time to convince Iori again

"We both know you don't have the guts to betray Kusanagi! Goodbye, Kagura or whatever you are now!" - Iori left the apartment leaving Chizuru there alone in the cold darkness

Later that night.

Athena and Kyo returned from the movie theater to Athena's apartment

"Well that wasn't so bad." - Athena

"I can't believe the guy with the fishbowl head ended up being evil." - Kyo

"That teaches us to not trust in someone who claims to come from another universe." - Athena opened the door of her apartment

For the surprise of Athena and Kyo, when the lights get turned on they see Iori there sitting on a chair in front of a table

"So, how it was the movie?!" - Iori

"Yagami!" - Kyo was angry to see Iori had entered in Athena's apartment

"What do you want, Iori?" - Athena

"What I want? Isn't that obvious? I'm here to finish my business with Kusanagi once and for all!" - Said Iori getting up preparing to fight with both

"Hmph! Yagami, you really think this will be easy, dont you?" - Said Kyo as suddenly his eyes starts changing.

Iori saw that Athena was preparing herself to fight too

"Go ahead! I'll send you two lovebirds to the afterlife forever!" - Iori had his fists covered in fire

In that moment a explosion is hear in the entire place as Iori, Athena and Kyo jump to the rooftop from the big hole Iori had done with his powers in the cieling of the apartment

"Dodge this!" - Iori throws two big fire pillars towards Kyo and Athena

Both fighters manage to dodge the pillars and start clashing fists with Yagami

"No. So. Fast!" - Iori defends himself from both sides managing to block Kyo and Athena's strikes

When Kyo was prepared to attack Iori with his Ura 108 Shiki: Orochinagi just as Athena prepared her Shining Cristal Bit move, Iori was able to cover himself in flames managing to resist both attacks

"WHAT?!" - Kyo and Athena were surprise to see Iori had resisted both attacks

"Hehehehe, is that all you got?" - Iori

"I have become more powerful than you two! Prepare to disappear!" - Iori

Iori heared sirens in the distance, it was the police coming to the hotel.

"What's wrong? You two usually talk alot." - Iori

"Hehehehehe!" - Both Kyo and Athena started to laugh

"Iori, you really think your little power up is enough to kill us?!" - Said Athena

"What?" - Iori was astonished

"So you finally got rid of Orochi's influence? I must admit, is impressive but you're still not match for us, Yagami!" - Kyo

"Grr..." - Iori

"Then go ahead! Try to prove that! I'll burn you to a crisp." - Iori

"Athena." - Kyo

"Yes?" - Athena

"Let me take care of this fool, I promise once I kill him... I'll give you his severed head as a gift!" - Kyo

"Oh that sounds great!" - Athena

In that moment Iori realized this wasn't the Kyo and Athena he knew. This were their Incubus and Succubus personalities created by the pheromones. He understood this was a fight to the death and was ready to do anything to kill his rival.

"Let's end this, Yagami!" - Kyo

Iori and Kyo interchanged some strikes. Now Kyo was dominating the fight managing to connect three punches on Yagami sending him to the ground.

"Argh!" - Iori

"(Suddenly his strenght has increased alot!)" - Iori got up

Iori launched himself against Kyo but Kyo easily countered him with a kick in the stomach

"AUG!" - Iori spitted blood

Kyo walked to where Iori was and kicked him

"Where's your spirit, Yagami?! Don't you get it? You're inferior to me! You always have been!" - Kyo keep kicking Iori

"(I don't understand! How is that he became even more powerful with the pheromones?)" - Iori was unable to understand how did Kyo still surpassed him

"(That's because Kusanagi has been recieving tons of energy from Asamiya. Unlike us who need to take a night snack, they interchange energy between themselves managing to increase their powers.)" - Said The Incubus

"(Iori, you need to let go of your pride and merge with me if you want to win!)" - Said the Incubus

"(...)" - Iori hated the idea but he hadn't more options

"Kusanagi!" - In that moment a giant pillar of purple fire covered Iori's body making Kyo back off

From the pillar a strange being came out with dark purple skin, long red hair, fangs and yellow eyes. This being was the Incubus persona inside Iori

"(So this is how it looks!)" - Thought Athena looking at the Incubus Iori

"This time I wont have any mercy with you!" - Iori

Kyo and Iori interchanged blows again but now Iori was able to punch Kyo

"Out of here!" - Iori grabed Kyo by his arm and throwed him to the rooftop of a building nearby for Athena's shock

"Kyo!" - Athena

"Oh don't worry. He is not dead... Yet!" - Iori

In that moment Athena went to the rooftop where Kyo had fallen. Iori did a big jump arriving to see both

"Get up, get up! So I can finish you myself! GET UP!" - Said Iori to Kyo who still hadn't got up

"This is the best you can do? Hehehe, I barely felt it!" - Kyo got up very quickly and started moving his shoulders and head preparing to fight with Iori again

Both continued their fight in this other rooftop, until Iori managed to trip Kyo with a sweep kick sending him to the ground again.

Iori was on top of Kyo and made a cut in his face with his claws

"You're playing a joke with me?! Fight with your true power and stop fooling around!" - Iori

"Why would I want to waste my energy with you?! In a few minutes I could wipe the floor with you." - Kyo

"You damn..." - Iori was angry at Kusanagi mocking him, he was going to slice Kyo's throat but suddenly he felt something in his neck. He saw a purple lasso was in his neck and suddenly he was pulled out by Athena

"Argh!" - Iori

"You! You always getting in what doesn't concern you!" - Said Iori angry to Athena

"Hehe, don't waste your energy with this idiot, Athena. You know he can't kill us so easily." - Said Kyo as the scar on his face was healed

"(What the hell?!)" - Iori was surprised to see how fast Kyo regenerated

"Sorry, Kyo. But I was getting annoyed of hearing his voice." - Said Athena as the lasso she used vanished having being made of her psychic energy

"Dont worry, soon everything will be over." - Kyo

"(How is this possible? Is like he hadn't suffered of any damage!)" - Iori

"Yagami?" - Kyo

"..." - Iori didn't answered

"You really think you can defeat gods like ourselves? Are you so eager to die by my hand that even after getting rid of Orochi, you still want to complete your clan's mission?" - Kyo

"(Did he just call himself a god?)" - Iori couldn't believe it. He know that this weren't the Kyo and Athena he know but he didn't expect them to be so twisted by their new powers

"You, a god? Please, don't make me laugh!" - Iori got up

"As I see it, you're nothing but a lying sack of shit, you think of yourself as much thanks to the ego and prideful attitude everyone of your clan shares but remove the name Kusanagi and what are you? A useless good for nothing brat who will never grow up. That's what you are!" - Iori

"As if I care what a scum like you thinks about me!" - Kyo

"Maybe not what I think but what about her?" - Iori pointed towards Athena

"What?" - Athena

"Have you brainwash her into loving you without questioning anything you do? Or is she really proud of someone like you?" - Iori

"Dont dare to drag her into this!" - Kyo

"Oh, so do you actually care about what she thinks after all! What? Are you afraid of she leaving you for someone better?!" - Iori

"Grrr.." - Kyo didn't answer that

"Athena, lets kill him now!" - Kyo and Athena launched themselves against Yagami

Iori defended himself from both enraged fighters using his best moves but Athena once again managed to catch Iori with her Psycho Lasso. He was being choked by Athena as Kyo took advantage and punched Yagami.

This made Iori angry and he managed to pull Athena towards him with all his forces. Athena recovered and was prepared to attack Iori again but in that moment Iori managed to punch Kyo making him back off, now Iori was about to damage Kyo with his flames but Athena quickly teleported in front of Kyo using her reflector absorbing the damage. In a similar way to the last time that happened, both were sended flying. Iori managed to grab from teh ledge of the building but Athena was sended flying to the streets injured.

"Athena!" - Kyo

"You self-righteous." - Iori now returning to his normal look, took advantage of the distraction and punched Kyo

"Self-possessed." - Iori Punched Kyo again

"Self-absorbed... Sack of..." - Iori's fists was stopped by Kyo

"Enough!" - Kyo

"Cut it with all this crappy schoolyard baiting!" - Kyo

"Hehehe!" - Iori just laughs

"Go on! Hit me with everything you've got!" - Kyo

"Bring it on, Yasakani loser..." - Kyo

"Aw, you're just begging for it, Kusanagi! You're just beggin for it!" - Iori

"You think I don't know how do you move? There's nothing you can do!" - Iori

"I wont forgive you for hurting her!" - Kyo

"How is possible that stupid woman dares to sacrifice herself for you?!" - Iori looked at Athena

"You wouldn't get it. You have never get it! What we have is something you will never experience in your life!" - Kyo

"Aw, poor Kusanagi is actually in love!" - Said Iori in a mocking tone

"And here I thought you were just using her and taking advantage of her feelings for you to feed on her energy but you actually like her, isn't it?!" - Iori

In that moment Iori had a pervese idea

"Maybe I should make her forget about you!" - Iori

"Don't even think about it! I'll not let you put a finger on her." - Kyo

"Don't worry, Kusanagi! Once you're dead, I'll take good care of her. I promise it!" - Said Iori with an evil grin

Iori understood the feelings of Athena for Kyo were sincere to a point were she would get hurt to protect him. In a way this feelings were similar to Kagura's ones who was willing to take the risk of being with him, even it if meaned death.

"Don't you dare!" - Kyo know what Yagami was thinking

"(Hmph! I really don't care about Kusanagi's sloppy seconds.)" - Thought Iori refering to Athena

"(But if I can get to make him angry just with the sole idea, so be it!)" - Iori

"YAGAMI!" - Kyo's skin started to burn as a strange smoke was coming out of him

Athena had recovered herself from the clash of power and saw Kyo was about to transform in his Incubus form

"(Kyo.)" - Athena

Iori saw how Kyo transformed into a strange creature of red pale skin in front of his eyes. But quickly Kyo returned to his normal look

"(This power?! It can't be!)" - Iori was surprised by Kyo having increasing his chi even more.

"I had enough of you for a lifetime! DIE!" - Kyo grabed Yagami and both fell out of the rooftop to the streets

"Arg!" - Iori quickly recovered and runned towards Kyo who just standed there without moving

Iori started punching Kyo's body and even face but for his surprise it was like Kyo didn't felt anything. He was unable to make him flinch at all. While Kyo just looked at him with a serious face

"(My power is enough to punch a bank vault, and he doesn't even budge! I HATE THIS GUY!)" - Thought Iori feeling desperate at what it felt like trying to destroy a wall of steel with a spoon

"Had enough?" - Kyo grabed Iori's fist and with one finger managed to send him flying to a wall

"(How is this possible?!)" - Iori didn't want to admit defeat but he didn't know what he could do against Kyo now

Iori felt his neck being trapped by a strange force. It was Athena now using her powers to choke Iori

"Argh, YOU!" - Iori saw the idol of purple hair looking at him with an evil grin

"Now, Kyo! Finish off with him!" - Athena

"Hehehe, see, Yagami? Even Athena is tired of your crap!" - Kyo turned on a small flame in his finger.

Kyo throwed the small flame to Iori. When the flame came in contact with him it vanished

"(What?)" - Iori was confused

"ARGH! KUSANAGI!" - Iori suddenly felt how a big pillar of red crimson fire came out of the ground. He felt how his skin was being melted

"It's not supposed to end like thisss!" - Screamed Iori as he was trapped by the pillar of flames while Athena and Kyo just watched it

When the fire disappeared there was nothing. Almost like Iori's entire body had been burned to nothing

"H-He is gone!" - Said Athena

"Finally. He wont bother us anymore!" - Kyo

"So, what now?" - Said Athena as she and Kyo started walking out of there

"Let's go to my home for now. With enough luck Aoi and Souji wont bother us." - Kyo

Athena and Kyo leaved the place having defeated Iori
