Summary: The story of Akira and how he became a peasant. Akira was nothing, but a weakling with a harsh past and fiery temper. Angry that he was left alone when his village was destroyed, he crosses paths with Demon Eyes Kyo who he fights because of his anger.

A/N: From now on, I'm just going to say that there will be multiple pairings because of the plot in this story. I'm fully aware of Kage's last name. I know it means God-blade. That's why I said that he was good with a sword and would show Akira in chapter one.

Chapter Six: The Fire Wielder vs. The Twin-Headed Dragon Part Two:

"I've had enough of this talk! I can defeat him without knowing his weaknesses strengths!", the orange-haired boy said in an arrogant tone.
"A foolish choice, child", Kyo muttered as he folded his arms in front of his chest.
Akira smirked and crouched down, resembling a lion preparing to attack his prey. Hotaru positioned his sword in front of him kind of like a shield. Now all they waited for is for someone to make the first move.
The green-eyed teen lunged for the blonde, placing his fiery sword in front of him. The blonde stayed still and waited for the right opportunity to strike. As soon as the orange-haired boy was about to slash him in half, he swung his sword upwards, connecting with his body and breaking through his tough metal armor in one sweep. It fell with a loud clutter and the fire wielder inhaled sharply as he jumped backwards quickly.
When his feet touched the ground, he stared down at this torso warily and wide-eyed. There was a huge gash on his stomach that was bleeding heavily. The pain grasped him within a mere second and he clutched the area. A loud hiss ripped from his lips as he narrowed his eyes at the blonde.
"Didn't Kyo tell you it was stupid, stupid?", the blonde teased as he stuck out his tongue.
"I'll show you who's stupid, monkey!", the orange-haired kid cried as he started to charge at him again with blinding speed.
Their swords clashed again but this time the older boy released an unexpected and strong uppercut to the blonde's face, making him fly backwards a couple of feet. The green-eyed boy smirked and was on him in seconds.
The blonde took noticed and did a back flip to land on his feet. Unluckily for him, the older boy was still on his tail and gave him a good slash which he barely dodged. The attack gave him a similar gash on his side which he was applying pressure to.
The flames burned his skin at his side but the fire didn't consume him much to his shock. The fire was smaller than it was before and it didn't burn his clothing at all. He looked over at the older boy with wide eyes.
He was even more shocked to see that the boy had a smile on his face and his hand stretched out to grab his (not the one that was on the sword). The sword was pressed against his side still.
"You're a good opponent…I guess. You were able to give me a wound which is something that no ordinary person can do", the orange-haired teen commented as the blonde hesitantly shook his hand.
"Now that you two have cut each other up. You two will tend to your own wounds. I'm not your babysitter", Kyo's voice grabbed their attention to him again.
The red head held a smile of pride on his face as he approached them. The green-eyed kid removed his sword and vanquished the flames on it before sheathing it back in its sheath. The blonde twirled his swords around momentarily before putting them back in their sheaths as well.
Both boys looked up at the red head with determined looks on their youthful faces. They refused to show any hurt or pain in their eyes as they stood up straight. Their blood stained their clothes and dropped the ground continuously without stop.
The red head smirked down at them and patted their heads with his firm hands. They both glanced at each other confusedly before looking back up into those glowing red demon eyes.
"We're going back to Edo and you boys are going to join the tournament tomorrow if you even think you want to accompany me", the red head said as he stood up straight.
"But we haven't even healed yet", the blonde complained.
"Well, I didn't say go get yourself wound, now did I? It's your fault you left yourself open for attack. The same goes to you, Hotaru", the red head replied.
"Yeah, yeah…I know now can we go now?", the orange-haired teen scoffed.
"Brats…brats…brats…they never learn their manners…", the red head said in amusement as he walked away.
The boys weakly followed, trying to catch up to the quick pace that the red head was walking at. They were struggling to walk since they were getting light headed at a very rapid pace. They could only see the red head's shaded figure from far away in mere seconds.
What a stupid thing to do…
Akira was the first to fall down on the ground, submitting to the darkness that was creeping up in his vision. Hotaru stopped and stared down upon him. A weak smile appeared on his face.
"Ha…I knew you were wea-", was the only thing that he could get out before he slipped into unconsciousness onto the ground.
He fell right beside the blonde and joined him in a deep slumber. Their blood was everywhere and now that they were just lying there, there was pretty good chance that they would die there too.

"Didn't I tell you boys to tend to your wounds? You two are no use to me dead".
"Kyo?".
He opened his eyes and saw him. Demon Eyes Kyo, the slayer of one thousand men. He looked down upon him with those intimidating red eyes and that arrogant smirk. The only thing he could do was to stare at the magnificent man in front of him.
"How could you just leave us in the forest?", he finally managed to say.
"Ah, Akira, I told you I wasn't your babysitter. I'm sure you knew what you were getting yourself into when you came with me", the red head said as he reached out his hand. "Maybe I'll help you up".
"No, I'll do it myself. You're not my babysitter, remember?", Akira hissed as he placed his hands on the ground to the side of him and lifted himself up from there.
"Hm…smart boy", the red head replied as he watched the blonde stumble.
The teen couldn't get his balance until he landed right into the taller man's groin area. His arms were on either side of the man's hips and his eyes snapped opened in astonishment.
His blue eyes traveled up the length of the older man's body until they stopped at the indifferent look in the man's eyes. He could feel a small and barely noticeable heat rising in his cheeks.
Was he now attracted to Kyo…?
The red head smirked down at him before leaning in to close the space between. Their faces were inches apart and the blonde began glancing from his eyes to his lips. He could feel his heart pounding within his chest.
He wasn't planning to…kiss him, right?
The red head's face started to grow black dots on them. The black dots grew bigger and the blonde grew frantic. Was he leaving him again? Was this all really some dream? He didn't know but he didn't want it to end so quickly.
"No! No! Don't leave!", he called.
In mere seconds, everything was black much to the blonde's supreme disappointment.
"Get up, Akira…".
That voice…it surely wasn't Kyo…it was held a gentle tone in it…
"Kage?".
"Who's Kage?", Hotaru's voice came through the blurriness in both his ears and eyes.
"Nobody…", Akira groaned as he sat up.
His blue eyes scanned the same area he was in before he passed out. The night made the forest look even more dangerous than it looked before. Mostly everything was dark and both boys could barely see through the darkness.
Their wounds hadn't even healed in the least bit but at least the bleeding had stopped a little. Their heads were throbbing painfully and they wished that they had just stayed asleep. Their backs were pressed against each other as they sluggishly dropped their shoulders. Now they were completely relaxed but still very exhausted.
"Well, this is unfortunate…", Hotaru muttered as he stared at the ground.
"What?", Akira said.
"This isn't any ordinary forest, Akira", Hotaru muttered as he brought his knees close to his chest.
"What do you mean, Hotaru?", the blonde replied.
"This is Aokigahara, a forest of death", the orange-haired teen answered. "You scared?".
"Hn…you came from the 'forest of death' so if I can beat you I'm sure I can take on anything in there", the blonde scoffed.
"Sure you can", the green-eyed boy said with a smug smile.
"We just need to get out of here first", the blonde stated.
They suddenly heard a twig snap in the darkness. Luckily for them, the moon was shining down on them in the clearing they were in. How was the rivaled duo going to get them out of this one now?

A/N: This is all I can give you guys because I'm trying to cut myself some slack. I've been updating my stories for two months now and I need a break. Don't worry though. I'll still continue…if I'm in the mood that is.
