Chapter 3
The Uninvited Guests
On a small balcony of the Tower of Darkness Ryuki was looking down onto the city as the sun had just set and gave way to the night. Akira on the other hand was sifting through the pages of his book when he noticed Ryuki's eyes shift towards him.
"Looks like we have some uninvited guests," he said calmly.
"Is that so?" remarked Akira.
"Some humans, most of them women," Ryuki said the words with small venom in his voice.
Akira shut his book and slowly stood up. "I'm afraid I should ask the uninvited ones to leave. That is what you want," he said ominously.
Ryuki nodded slowly.
"Actually I happen to be acquainted with one of the women," Akira added quickly.
Ryuki looked suspiciously at Akira who turned and left.
"A storm is approaching," he said quietly, walking into the distance.
Ryuki noticed a strange glow on the side of his face slowly flickering then pulsing with power.
After walking slowly into the tower, Danzo looked up to see that it went up pretty high. As he marched up the ramp he didn't notice that he was being followed by four other girls that were also from Hebijo. He pressed on not even daring to look behind him as he went through a door to his left. He spotted some Youma nearby that were lying in ambush only to be cut down and shot to death by Danzo's fiery fury.
Imu and the others were amazed as Ryona squirmed and said, "Oh wow he's so amazing with both a sword and guns!"
Ryobi smacked her with the butt of her rifle making her squeal in glee. "One more sound and I shoot out your heart!" she snapped in a low whisper.
Danzo didn't hear the two girls as he martialed on to the next room where three Youma stood with their weapons raised and a pink haired girl with short twin tails cowering in fear. The unleashed several energy bursts at him which he evaded and cut them down with relative ease. Surprising the Pinkete immensely.
"I'll help you!" she cried.
"Don't butt in!" he snapped as more reinforcements arrived to attack them.
With the last of the Youma defeated, Danzo eyed the Pinkete's clothes and saw that she wore what looked like Gym clothes.
"Thank you for saving my life," she said happily.
"Yeah, yeah," Danzo said grumpily as he sauntered off.
The girl however took his hand and gently held it in both of her own hands.
"My name is Hibari," the girl chimed happily.
"Danzo," replied her new ally. Then he walked off.
"Listen kid, you shouldn't get in this crap, you'd get yourself 'ravaged' or worse killed!" he snapped and stormed through another door.
"I know that but, I can be strong too," Hibari said as bravely as she could. But Danzo was nowhere to be seen.
In another room, Danzo cut down several statues of Youma Warriors around him. "Stupid deadweight kid," he grumbled. He pulled a lever nearby and stepped onto the platform that took him to another part of the tower.
Asuka was nearby as she leapt down from her perch to see Danzo emerge from below on the makeshift elevator. Suddenly several Youma attacked and Asuka sprang into action as Danzo struck first against them.
"Need a hand?" she asked him.
"Like you even have to ask," smirked Danzo as the first Youma fell. Several more lunged at Asuka but she struck them down as Danzo fired his guns Silver-moon, and Black-star at the other Youma gangsta style.
Noticing that Danzo was indeed holding his own, Asuka noticed the nunchucks he acquired and swung them at the Youma knocking them down, before shooting them point blank.
Asuka was suddenly kicked back but her resolve never wavered as the last of the Youma fell before her and Danzo. "Nice work!" he said calmly.
"Thank you," smiled Asuka. Then Danzo was surprised to see that she looked cute in her ninja outfit.
"I'm Asuka, Hanzo's granddaughter," she said.
"Name's Danzo," Danzo replied. Then he slowly walked off as Asuka holstered her twin blades.
"Stay vigilant!" he called and went through another door, only to realize that it was a trap.
A silver haired girl with twintails and an eyepatch and sword in her umbrella was also in the same predicament as another girl wearing a cat like gothic lolita outfit with an umbrella as a gun. They noticed Danzo swoop down with his sword Defiance in hand as he slashed downwards towards the Youma that were about attack sending them sprawling about in all directions.
Mirai and Yagyuu exchanged a confused glance and charged forward ushering a battle cry to help their new unexpected ally.
"Eat this you big bullies!" shouted Mirai sending several Youma flying in seperate directions.
"Fall to my blade," added Yagyuu sending another wave crashing to the wall.
Danzo saw that these two girls were indeed very adept as he sent more youma into a crumpled heap.
When they were done, Mirai eyed the newcomer and said, "Nice work, especially with Yagyuu helping me."
"It's no problem," he replied as Mirai hugged him.
"I may not like ignorance, but you're different from everyone I've met so far," the girl said proudly.
Yagyuu smiled faintly. "If you see Hibari, just let me know, and I'll find her again," she added.
"Okay, but you two have to be vigilant in this tower. It's swarming with Youma who want you dead," he warned and walked off.
"Will do!" said Yagyuu and Mirai, but Danzo stopped and turned to face them again.
"The name's Danzo," he said.
"My name's Yagyuu, and this Mirai," replied Yagyuu.
"Good luck!" called Mirai, waving happily at her new friend.
"Thanks Mirai," he replied, and raced off into the distance.
He had just entered another room when he saw what looked like a giant millipede flying above the head of another girl in a silver kimono that hung off her shoulders.
"I got this bastard!" he called from above and began hacking and slashing at the millipede. It gave off an electric shock and shook him off by spinning it's body around.
"Don't leave me out just yet my friend," replied Yumi as she spun about, dancing below the creature. Danzo nodded and began firing his hand cannons in rapid succession severely wounding the millipede. But he was flung off again landing beside Yumi on his feet and fired more rapidly again. The millipede however fired several energy balls of darkness at them as Danzo picked Yumi up bridal style and jumped onto a nearby ledge.
Yumi was shocked and amazed as she was gently set down. As the millipede returned with a new volley of energy balls directed towards her, Danzo fired his hand cannons much more furiously at the creature.
In desperation the Millipede launched another assault at them, but Danzo and Yumi pulled together a team attack that sent the insect crashing to the ground for them to unleash a killing blow which caused it to split into several bits of itself with blood spilling all over the floor.
Yumi took a breath and sat down as the top of her Kimono slipped off. Danzo turned his head away so as not to see her exposed breasts. "Good to see that the granddaughter of the late Kurokage hasn't lost her touch," he complimented.
Yumi smiled as she adjusted her kimono. "Thank you," she said happily, and stood up.
"Since you already know my grandfather, you saved me, so I chose to help you," Yumi added.
"Ah it was nothin'," smirked Danzo, "you can refer to me as Danzo."
"I'm Yumi," she said as Danzo walked by her.
"Better be careful, I'd hate find out what would if Asuka saw you die," he warned.
"Don't worry," said Yumi, "I'll be sure to keep that in mind."
Danzo smirked as he walked off and picked up what looked like an astronomical board. Then he walked to a door and tried to push it open. He scoffed and turned away, then raced toward the door with a spinning kick. The door however didn't open. Danzo spun around looking annoyed, stepped back, and drew his guns ready to fire on the door, when he heard a voice calling out to him.
The stranger looked to be in a jester's garment.
"There's no need to use violence, Youma boy," said the strangely dressed figure.
But Danzo didn't want to bother with him he pointed his guns at the door more aggressively.
"Wait, wait, wait, better listen to what others say, lad," the stranger grinned maniacally, "This tower here is very sturdy, you see." he rapped on the door with his scepter. "Your tricks will do no good. NO GOOD!" he raised his voice a little.
Danzo placed Silver-moon on the figures nose. "Zip it, or I'll pierce that big nose," he said angrily.
"That could be a problem!" said the jester as he swept past him, "Just hear me out. You've got nothing left to lose, right?"
Danzo turned his head in disgust away from the stranger. "My name is Trickster, and I know a thing or two about his place."
Danzo saw him pointing to a device by the door. "That thing right there is a power generator for this entire sector. In order to open the door, you need to apply a little something to it first," explained Trickster.
Danzo was looking at his gun not paying attention to Trickster's words. "Do you know what it is kid? Or is that too difficult for you?" he asked, bursting into a high pitched laugh, that proved to make Danzo shoot at Trickster's feet making him dance wildly.
"Get to the point. Or do you wanna keep on dancing?" Danzo demanded.
Trickster stopped and took several breaths to steady himself. "Actually, I prefer a sword to be my partner. May I have this dance my lady?" he asked jokingly, as Danzo holstered his guns, and swung angrily at Trickster with such force that he struck the terminal which opened the door before him.
"BINGO!" called Trickster from behind, "That is what the something is. Remember that, kid! Write it down on your hand if you don't trust your head!"
He burst out into more boisterous laughter, which made Danzo angrily shoot at him again making him dance out of sight.
"I see, thanks," he said, when Trickster was out of sight. "You still piss me off, though," he scoffed and walked on.
Meanwhile, Homura and the other members of the Crimson Squad were surprised as well. "So this guy's name is Trickster, huh?" she said, "Well then, things are just getting interesting ladies."
"My sentiments exactly," agreed Haruka as she raced after Danzo.
Hikage on the other hand, was masking her discomfort. Yomi was amazed that he trounced a gigantic bug. "Maybe when it's over we'll have bean sprouts in the future," she said.
The rest of team Gessen however were shocked that Danzo didn't see Yumi's exposed breasts. "I'm as shocked as you guys are," said Yozakura.
"Well, at least he didn't totally look at Yumi when her boobies were exposed," grinned Shiki.
"Do you think he seems nice enough to share sweet things?" asked Minori, innocently.
"We'll see," replied Murakumo, and the four girls rallied with Yumi, who informed them that Danzo was smart enough to turn away without any hint of perversion.
Team Gessen split up as Fubuki, Senkou, and Gekkou saw Miyabi on one of the lower floors standing over a group of slaughtered Youma in pools of blood surrounding her. They observed her walking away towards her next destination when they saw Ikaruga and Katsuragi nearby taking down a nasty Youma that had so viciously left claw marks on the walls around them.
"Stay alert Katsu," warned Ikaruga.
"Yeah, I hear ya Ikaruga," replied Katsuragi, but she was think about which girl she was hoping to have fun with.
The remaining members of Team Hebijo were shocked to see Miyabi leaving behind several Youma corpses for them to follow.
"Oh Miyabi, please let us know what's happening," whispered Imu.
Murasaki was also worried about Miyabi, but she knew the mission had to come first despite wanting to go back and play video games in her dorm.
In another part of the tower, Danzo had arrived at a small fountain when he heard Trickster's voice. "Thanks for destroying the lock for me, Youma Boy! And welcome to Hell!"
The fountain began to weep blood from the three skulls on top, then trickle down to three statues of bird like creatures. "Please accept my gift! Don't be humble, just take it! After all we're buddies, aren't we?!" cackled Trickster.
The bird like Youma soon came to life, shattering the fountain, and fly to Danzo who held his weapons at the ready. With Defiance in hand, he pushed back the first to Youma and sent the third flying to the wall behind him leaving blood on it.
"Well, isn't that special?" he said sarcastically, "To be honest I was expecting a little better than this." Soon he cut down the bird-like Youma and decided to press on with finding his brother. Before he could go any further though, a portal soon opened up before him and he plunged straight through it.
Author's notes
Well this has certainly been interesting folks. Danzo has just come into contact with Trickster a so called resident of the Tower of Darkness which sato sealed away many years ago before the events that took place in Senran Kagura Shinovi Masters. Oh boy, there are so many mysteries that have yet to be revealed, and Miyabi is still forging on ahead making her teammates very concerned for her even though they are bad ninjas working for a school that trains killers.
