Interrupted Training
Damon inhaled slowly as consciousness returned to him, a contented smile slowly growing on his face as the smell of mint, flowers, and sex greeting him. His breath caught in his throat as he felt a two hands wrap around his morning wood, their fingers intertwining before they began to slowly stroke him, sending pleasure radiating through him as the light sting of Mizore's touch flooded his brain, as much from her bare flesh lying along his as from her hand wrapped around him.
"Good morning to you too," he smiled, opening his eyes and seeing both girls smiling up at him. "We don't really have all day, you know."
"That's okay," Mizore smiled, shifting up to kiss him.
"We don't mind making it quick," Ruby said, kissing him as soon as Mizore had moved out of her way.
Damon sighed, wrapping his arms around Ruby as Mizore moved down to take his erection into her mouth, bobbing her head slowly. He groaned, slipping a hand between both girls hands, deciding to let them have what they both want. Arguing with either one alone was hard enough. Together, he had no hope.
Damon knelt, staring at the puddle Ruby claimed had a pocket dimension inside of it, courtesy of Touhou. Finally, he dove in, bursting out of a large, round body of water, like a giant manhole, or an inground pool, landing on his feet in the street of what he could swear was Hong Kong. He turned back to the water as Mizore and Ruby both burst out of it.
"So, you're sure Touhou said we could completely trash this place?" Damon asked. "Like, completely?"
"That's right," Ruby nodded. "This mirror world is a dimension he created with his magic, so any damage here isn't reflected in the real Hong Kong."
"Well alright then," Damon nodded. "Let's see if we can find some of the others. I feel like a game of TDM, or maybe capture the flag."
"TDM?" Mizore asked.
"Team Death Match," Damon said. "Beat the other enemy in a fight. Points are awarded based on the number of defeats and scored as a team. It's a video game thing."
"So...a team battle?" Ruby clarified.
"If you want to make it super boring and basic, yeah," Damon said. "Team Death Match sounds more entertaining."
Both girls giggled and shook their heads, taking his hands. They walked down the street a ways before stopping as they found the others, all of them comforting Kurumu, who was practically sobbing.
"There you are," Damon said. "What happened?"
"Tsukune's risking his life for a body modification technique that will probably kill him, all for Moka's sake," Gin said. "Kurumu's starting to realize where Tsukune's heart lies."
"I see," Damon nodded. "Well, I have an idea for her to work out her frustrations."
"Oh?" Gin asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Team Death Match," Damon grinned.
"No one's killing anyone!" Kurumu snapped.
"He means a team battle," Mizore clarified. "He just wants to sound cool."
"That hurts," Damon deflated.
Mizore smiled, kissing him on the cheek before slipping her hand out of his, Ruby also taking her hand back.
"Team captains?" Haiji asked. "I volunteer, if no one's hat is in the ring yet."
Fang-Fang shared a knowing grin with Damon. "Damon and I will be captains."
"And the teams will be according to the history of the Fire Devil species, that way it's fair," Damon said.
"Alright," Gin nodded. "Which means?"
"Kurumu, Cocoa, and Gin are with me," Damon said. "The rest of you are with Fang-Fang."
"Really?" Ruby asked. "You want to fight against Fang-Fang, Ling-Ling, and Mizore?"
"Want is a strong word," Damon said. "But it is supposed to be training, so I'll give it a go."
"Very well," Fang-Fang nodded. "I accept the terms. Team names?"
"I don't give a shit," Damon shrugged. "Historically it was just Kishin and Yasha plus any other races we pissed off against the Fire Devils and any races we were able to either force or trick into following us."
"Red Team and White Team, then," Fang-Fang nodded. "You'll be Red Team, since it matches your scales, and we'll be White Team because historically, we were innocent."
"I wouldn't get all high and mighty, brat," Damon growled, glaring at him. "The Yasha were far from innocent. We didn't exactly revolt because we were tired of a utopian rule, you know."
"No, you did it because you're a bunch of lawless vermin who love to fight," Fang-Fang smirked.
"Oh, I'm going to thoroughly enjoy beating you into a bloody mess," Damon said.
"Head to opposite sides of the city," Fang-Fang said. "We'll fight wherever we meet."
Damon nodded and the two teams split, heading to the edge of the mirror world before turning back toward each other. Damon growled in annoyance, dropping his shirt, shoes, and socks, forming his scales, tail, and wings. Cocoa formed Koa into a curved, single-edged broadsword, and Gin grinned, allowing his teeth to all shift into canines, and his claws to grow in.
"You want me to handle Mizore?" Kurumu asked.
"If you can," Damon nodded. "It'll be exceptionally dangerous for me if I have to fight her."
Kurumu nodded, extending her own wings, tail, and claws. Then, the four of them were off, streaking through the city and scattering when they sensed the White Team doing the same. Damon turned his head after Kurumu as he flew. He could sense her power dropping rapidly. She was heartbroken. Normally, not his concern, but for a Succubi, it was a death sentence. Either she needed to win Tsukune over, or she needed someone to steal her. In absence of both of those happening anytime soon, she needed to be kept watch over.
"You should pay more attention!" a voice shouted in front of him and he smirked, tail flicking out and exploding into the zombie who had leapt off a building at him, sending it crashing back into the building.
He stopped as dozens more began to leap at him. He grinned, preparing himself, and when they began to leap at him, he took off, beating them back as rapidly as they attacked using his fists, feet, and tail. After a few minutes, however, four of them grabbed his arms and wings, stopping him before more and more began to pile on, dragging him down to the ground before they all disappeared. As Damon stood, a taro card sped toward him, only to bounce off his scales. He turned to Yukari and Ruby, who both smirked and readied themselves, Ruby holding a book in her right hand and Yukari with her wand in her hand.
"You won't be getting past us," Ruby said. "If I beat you, does that mean you'll have to punish me?"
Damon chuckled. "You just never stop. You're even worse than Mizore and me combined."
He exploded forward, several more cards bouncing off of him before Ruby reached him, spinning and slashing at him with her sharpened wings, one of her wings' feathers actually managing to scratch him. He avoided her feathers for a few moments before catching her by the throat and hurling her into Yukari. Both crashed to the ground, pushing themselves back up, only for Damon to step between them, drilling his fist into their guts, lifting them into the air while being careful not to hurt them, only knock them out.
Cocoa flipped over Haiji's fist before swinging Kou down at him, now as a mallet. He avoided it and she landed on her feet before spinning, swinging it around at him. He ducked under the shaft then stood, rubbing her head affectionately.
"Cut it out!" Cocoa shrieked, swinging the mallet down at him and again missing him, only for the ground to all but explode, hurling him away.
"That's some serious power," Haiji said, suddenly serious. "You should be careful about using that kind of power against an ally."
"It'll be fine for a loli perv like you!" Cocoa snapped.
"I see," Haiji nodded. "Then I suppose I'll need to get serious."
Cocoa grinned, shifting Kou into a morning star before charging.
Kurumu swiped at Mizore rapidly, spinning and slashing, swinging her wings at her, as Damon had taught her to do. However, after a few moments of this, she suddenly collapsed, Mizore catching her just as Gin appeared off to the side.
"Oh shit!" Gin said, rushing over. "What happened?"
"She just collapsed," Mizore said, Gin taking Kurumu gently, just as she stirred.
"It hurts," Kurumu said, tears running down her face as she quickly dissolved into sobs. "It's cold, and I can't feel any strength in my body. My heartbeat feels weird, and I can't breath properly! I'm already in so much pain now! If Tsukune really ends up together with Moka, I...I'm gonna die!"
Gin gently pulled Kurumu into a hug just as Cocoa and Haiji exploded through a building off to the side, Cocoa covered in bruises and dirty and Haiji unscathed.
"What the hell did you do!?" Cocoa demanded the moment she saw Kurumu crying. "You did something perverted didn't you!?"
"That's enough, Cocoa," Gin said. "Now's not the time. Kurumu, you need to forget about Tsukune. Forget him completely."
Just then, Ling-Ling crashed to the ground, her head bouncing away before Damon and Fang-Fang landed off to one side, Fang-Fang leaping at Damon, slashing rapidly with his coin sword as Damon tried to keep distance between them. Finally, Damon caught a glimpse of Kurumu's condition and instantly stepped forward, catching Fang-Fang's sword arm.
"Tsuku…" he stopped, head turning slowly toward the park where he had been smelling Tsukune and Touhou. Now, he smelled blood, and he could hear Tsukune roaring.
"Tsukune!" Kurumu gasped. "Something's wrong!"
"Let's go!" he said, grabbing her on his way past as he flew toward the park, the others following, only Gin keeping up.
Finally, they reached the park and Damon set Kurumu down, landing in front of her as they stared at Tsukune, who dropped Touhou's seemingly lifeless body. Tsukune had mutated badly. His skin was black, except over his pecks, abs, shoulders, the backs of his hands, and his hair. His hair had turned silver, and the spots that weren't black were white, with the ones on his shoulders being round and flat, like plates. His eyes glowed white and there were cracks of white light around his eyes. He had claws, spikes on the backs of his elbows, short wing-like spikes on the outside of his forearms just above his wrists, and a pair of short bat-like wings growing from the back of his shoulders just to either side of his spine near the top of shoulder blades. As he dropped Touhou, bats began to fly off of Tsukune's skin. Damon swallowed hard. There was a barrier between them and Tsukune, but he doubted it would hold Tsukune, or that it would hold now that Touhou was down for the count.
"Tsu...Tsuku...ne?" Kurumu breathed.
Tsukune roared, his wings spreading outward and growing to roughly the same size as Damon's, about double Tsukune's arm length.
"Look at his Holy Lock," Damon said, staring at the nearly shattered seal. "It's only got a few links left. It nearly broke completely."
"This is bad," Gin said.
"You have no idea," Damon said, staring at the wings and bats. "I knew she was one of them. But...fuck. I did not see this coming."
"Who's one of who?" Gin asked.
Tsukune suddenly exploded forward, driving his hand at Kurumu, who Damon pulled behind himself, raising his left arm and preparing himself to possibly lose it, only for the barrier to stop Tsukune cold, then blasted him with lightning, throwing him back.
"Tsukune!" Kurumu cried out.
"Tsu…" Tsukune stared at her emptily as Touhou pushed himself up slowly, holding out a paper tag like Fang-Fang and Ling-Ling's summoning tags.
"I told you, Tsukune," Touhou said. "There's a powerful barrier set up around us. It's an offensive barrier that'll attack any living creature without discrimination. If you try to go through that, it'll cost you your life."
"Good to see you're still breathing," Damon said. "Can you deal with this, or should I?"
"To think you would even attack a girl who's your ally," Touhou said. "It seems you've lost all sense of reason, Tsukune Aono."
"Tell me Touhou, why is this happening?" Kurumu asked.
"I apologize," Touhou said. "The Human Modification Technique most likely reacted with the Vampire Blood sleeping within him and caused it to go out of control. At this point, Tsukune can no longer be called a human. He is a ghoul who failed to become a Vampire."
"Wait, but, Tsukune will-" she shrieked in pain as she set a hand against the barrier and got a nasty shock, being thrown away.
"Serves you right," Damon said. "He just explained that the barrier attacks anything that touches it. Now, Touhou, how do you want to play this?"
"Before now, Tsukune's turned into a ghoul several times," Kurumu said, tears falling from her face as Damon rolled his eyes, getting tired of the emotional chatter, his Fire Devil instincts itching to fight Tsukune. "I've always had to watch from the side like this. I never had the power to help. Please, turn Tsukune back to normal!"
"You have no power?" Touhou asked. "You saved us from Moka's mind when we were trapped inside it, right? That was most likely a very advanced skill. Kurumu, right? I am both indebted to you and responsible. I guess I should show you some of my good side. To answer your question, Fire Devil, I will handle this myself."
"Don't be a fool," Damon said. "Drop the barrier and I'll hold him still. Then you can finish your technique."
Touhou watched him for a moment before nodding. The moment the barrier, a cage of lightning bolts, vanished, Tsukune spun, exploding toward Damon and Kurumu. Gin instantly grabbed Kurumu and fled and Damon shot forward, leaning out of the way of Tsukune's right fist and drilling his own into Tsukune's face, holding nothing back. Tsukune exploded backward while the force of his own punch, while connecting with nothing, shattered the ground in a trail after Kurumu and Gin, stopping just short of them. Damon crashed down on Tsukune, fist-first, then flipped sideways out of the way of a punch from Tsukune's left hand. His tail caught Tsukune's arm and yanked him up, Damon spinning and slamming one wing into Tsukune's face, making him stagger away before the other wing swiped across his face to blind him. Then, Damon caught Tsukune's blind punch at the elbow, spinning behind Tsukune and catching his other arm, locking the insides of his elbows in the inside of Tsukune's, holding his arms back. Touhou shot forward instantly, pulling a needle back, his magic energy and supernatural energy condensed into the point.
However, before he could reach him, Tsukune's wings suddenly flapped backward, Tsukune's supernatural energy pulsing as Damon had taught him to do before he flipped, drilling a punch into Touhou's chest and sending him exploding into the ground.
"Touhou!" Damon shouted, pushing himself up as Tsukune exploded toward him again.
Damon shot forward, bracing himself, and caught Tsukune's hands around the wrists just before his shoulders. This time, the strikes weren't harmless for him, and all of the scales on his upper body suddenly exploded off, the skin remaining behind covered in gashes and bleeding badly from the scales tearing free. The bones in and around his shoulders were also broken, and the sudden decompression of the air outside his ears being blown away by the force burst his eardrums. However, before Tsukune could strike again, Touhou was on his feet, a pair of spell circles on either side of him and his third eye finally open. Tsukune spun, hurling Damon away, Damon crashing down hard and groaning, looking over at the pair just as the others finally arrived, Mizore and Ruby kneeling to either side of him instantly. Touhou had recreated the barrier, himself and Tsukune inside of it once again, but as Touhou moved to kill Tsukune, Kurumu began to try and force her way through the barrier. Damon realized he couldn't hear anything when he didn't hear her or Touhou shouting at each other, or Mizore and Ruby asking him if he was okay.
He watched as Kurumu somehow slipped through the barrier without dying and kissed Tsukune, making him freeze in place. Then, as she collapsed from the wounds the barrier had caused her, Touhou hurled the last needle into Tsukune's heart. Tsukune's skin shattered, the black and white body seeming like a shell, leaving him exactly as he was, his hair turning brown again as he crashed to the ground beside Kurumu.
Damon sighed, setting his head back down. He'd lost to a ghoul. Oh the shame. A Shinso Vampire ghoul, granted, which was an entirely different level, but still a ghoul. He needed a fire shower. He needed to scrub the failure off of him. Plus, a fire would heal him. He opened his eyes as Mizore and Ruby lifted him and carried him out of the mirror world, then out of Touhou's house and to Fang-Fang's, where Fang-Fang led them to the kitchen. Then, they shoved him into a fire pit and Fang-Fang used a spell to start a fire under him before leaving. After a few seconds, Damon's ears healed, bringing back his equilibrium and he sat up, exhaling a jet of flames down onto the wood he was, quite uncomfortably, sitting on. His pants and underwear burned away in seconds, though an ice doll of Mizore brought in a spare set instantly.
Damon crossed his arms, giving them an unimpressed look. "Really? An open fire stove?"
"It's the best we could do," Ruby shrugged.
"At least we found you a place to light a fire," Mizore said.
"I suppose," Damon sighed. "Thanks. I owe you two."
"How long until your scales grow back?" Ruby asked, Damon looking down at the slowly sealing gashes covering his torso, none of which were scarring, thankfully.
"Probably thirty minutes," Damon said. "Lock the door so that no one will come in, won't you?"
Ruby nodded and locked the door, Damon shifting the wood to make it at least a little comfortable, then leaning back and sighing heavily.
"I can't believe I lost to a ghoul," Damon grumbled. "I think I've gone soft."
"You weren't fighting to win," Mizore said. "Only to protect. If you'd really been trying to kill him, you wouldn't have caught his hands."
"True," Damon nodded. "I'm a little bummed our training got interrupted."
"We'll try again tomorrow," Mizore said.
"Nah," Damon sighed. "I'll just focus on training Fang-Fang."
"You know, if we go to Fairy Tail, even if Tsukune fights Akua, you'll probably have to fight Kahlua again," Mizore said. "And Miyabi, that scumbag that I almost had to marry."
"And Kiria," Damon added. "I'm not letting Kiria live again. And I'll probably end up fighting Akua somehow. That's my luck."
"Can you do it?" Ruby asked.
"Kahlua I can handle easy enough," Damon said. "Akua will be more of a challenge because of her use of Jigen-Tou. Miyabi I don't know, I haven't actually fought him. Kiria will be easy, though."
"I'm sure it'll be fine," Mizore smiled. "You won't be alone. I have a score to settle with Miyabi anyway."
Damon nodded. "It'll be one hell of a party."
The other two nodded as well and they settled in to wait for him to finish his recovery.
