Red Bone to be Wild!
"Father, can't you hear me? O'Great father, it is time." Jakotsumaru speak to the big red skeleton with huge tusks and horns on his head, legs, and huge claws.
"Lord Tokotsu, the moment of your grand awakening has come at last!" Jakotsumaru said to his skeleton father while eating some of the bones.
It was clear that Tokotsu was listening to his son and he can hardly wait for the upcoming day when he will finally be whole again, and awaiting to finally have his revenge.
(With Touta and Girls)
"I gotta be honest, Tokotsu being Kirinmaru's underling was a twist I wasn't expecting." Moroha said before turning toward the others.
"Now what?" Moroha asked them.
"Well, obvious we need to find where those two demons are." Touta stated.
"Wait, why are you suddenly agreeing to help her when it has nothing to do with us?" Setsuna asked.
"Of course, this has something to do with us. We're all after the same demons who are taking the bones of the victims even if our reason for being here is different, we share the same goal of stopping them from hurting any more lives." Touta pointed out with a smile.
"You might as well give up, Setsuna. When Touta makes a point like that, there's no arguing with him and that's only when there are rare chances of him making sense." Towa informed her long-lost twin sister.
Setsuna let out a sigh knowing that Towa might be right and also knows that Touta is also right about going after the same demons as Moroha as well.
"You must be pretty strong, huh, Moroha? You took out one of the Four Perils all alone." Towa amazed.
"Yeah, I wanna know how you two meet and the fight went out!" Touta excited making Moroha blush a little.
"Huh, thing is I don't remember slaying Tokotsu nor how I met him." Moroha chuckled confusing the three fellow half-demons.
"What do you mean?" Towa asked.
(Flashback)
Moroha is seen sleeping on the headless corpse of Tōkotsu as she started to wake up.
"For the life of me, I don't have any memory of what went on during the fight." Moroha said.
"But you do remember that there was a fight, and you were there too?" Touta asked.
"I guess it would make sense when you put it like that. The only thing I do remember is deciding to take his precious Red Pearl for myself." Moroha grinned.
Moroha saw the Red Pearl of the Rainbow Pearls as she pulls it off from Tokotsu's armor and place it inside the clam shell with the rouge inside.
"Well, that and when I was transporting his corpse, his cronies chased after me, so I ran my ass off to lose 'em!" Moroha explained that part.
Moroha turns her head to see that lots of demons working under Tokotsu were looking very angry as they ran for Moroha as they believe it was her who slain their master and wants revenge too, so the girl in red quickly ran after to lose those demons.
"Sounds like that was the impression of you killing that demon was shown." Touta commented.
Next scene shows Moroha showing the demon corpse to Jyubei and he starts telling her about who this demon is.
"Yeah, at the time, I didn't know he was worth a bag of silver or that his name was Tokotsu until I talked with the corpse dealer, Jyubei, who filled me in later.
(Flashback End)
Moroha finish her story as she chuckles nervously that she doesn't have any knowledge of what actually happened with the Tokotsu nor if she even fought him in battle too.
"You're saying all that dumb luck just fell right into your lap?" Towa asked.
"I guess that's one way to put it." Moroha agreed on that.
"That means you weren't the one who killed Tokotsu after all." Setsuna stated upon hearing from Moroha's side of the story.
"You see? If anyone's the victim here, it's me." Moroha proclaimed.
"You're missing the point." Setsuna said.
"I say you could've totally beaten that Tokotsu guy with how I've seen you fight. You're incredibly strong and high spirit for fun and adventures which is pretty awesome to me." Touta complimented.
"Oh, you really think I could beat Tokotsu?" Moroha asked blushing a bit.
"I wouldn't be saying all of that if I didn't believe in you myself." Touta smiled.
Moroha can feel her heart beating a little faster upon hearing those words which has never happen to her before.
"Wow, you certainly know how to sweet talk a girl like me." Moroha grinned as she wraps one arm around his.
Towa saw that Moroha was approaching her boyfriend a little too close than she should pulling onto Touta's arm to pull him away, but Moroha wouldn't have that as she wanted to cuddle with him too.
"Ever heard about sharing is caring?" Moroha asked with a grin.
"Yes, but there are times when you don't have to share certain things." Towa glared as sparks are erupting between the girls.
"(I feel like this could end up messy.)" Touta thought worried.
"Would you two just stop whatever is going on and listen to what I have to say?" Setsuna asked getting their attention back on her.
"As I was about to say, if we proceed, we'll be following the Tree of Ages' request." Setsuna pointed out which they all just remember that.
"You're right." Towa said understanding this.
"If we defeat the Four Perils, Kirinmaru will emerge. And if that happened, we know what would follow." Setsuna said as she walks into one room.
"Sesshomaru. We would have no choice but to fight our own father." Towa stated as she follows Setsuna in.
"Did I hear correctly? Are those two truly the daughters of Lord Sesshmaru?" Myoga asked hopping onto Moroha's head.
"Looks like it." Moroha answered.
"Let's not forget that my mom's past self is here too, so we might run into her as well." Touta reminded them of that part as well.
"Your mother's past self?" Myoga confused.
"We'll explain later." Moroha said as they stood in front of a sliding door where one of the Four Perils is just on the other side.
"So, what'll it be? Kirinmaru's underling, one of the Four Perils, is on the other side of this door, and he's worth a gold ingot." Moroha excited.
"Would it be okay if we split some of that money with you? Towa and I don't have our own yet in case we need to buy food and other stuff." Touta asked.
"Sure, we can split it three ways. We're already buddies after helping out in the future." Moroha agreed smiling.
"Cool! Now let's go kick some bad guys' butt!" Touta cheered as he opens the door and waiting them in a room is Jakotsumaru.
"(This guys…)" Touta thought glared at the demon guy and one hand on his black katana.
"Hello, ladies and young man. I humbly bid you welcome." Jakotsumaru greeted as he bows to them.
"My father, Tokotsu will be"
"SHUT UP?!" Touta shouted as he charges at Jakotsumaru for the intention of slicing his head clean off with his sword.
But Jakotsumaru was able to react fast enough to block the black sword with his fan causing a shockwave bursting from the collision.
"I'm going to make you pay for what you did to those wolves back at the bridge. This is a howling revenge." Touta angered.
"So, you're here for those little mutts? Guess you must feel like an alpha to even care for those little creatures." Jakotsumaru mocked with a grin.
"Like you would know anything about how strong wolves are!" Touta growled as he pushes him back against a wall.
"Oh right, Touta is still angry about what that demon did to those wolves earlier." Towa realized.
"Guess there's no stopping a fight from breaking out." Setsuna said.
"In that case…" Moroha smirked as she goes in.
"You got a lot of people coming after you, guess you won't be getting that revenge for your dad. How about I send you to him!" Moroha gets ready to fight.
However, Jakotsumaru just laughs when the sliding door on their right came crashing down with several red skeletons coming to life with swords, and one big red skeletons chuckles.
"You'll send him to me, will you? There's no need for I am right here." Tokotsu revealed himself.
"Father!" Jakotsumaru smiled.
"So, you're one of the big shots around here. You're looking at red with anger." Touta commented.
"Was that supposed to be a joker because it wasn't funny." Setsuna asked unamused.
"Not sure since he still looks mad." Towa said.
"I am anger at that little wretch!" Tokotsu glared at Moroha.
"Not only did you wrong me by stealing my treasured Red Pearl and hampering my power, but you have insulted me by selling off my body as well!" Tokotsu yelled at the girl in red.
"I will not forgive you, wretch." Tokotsu said.
"Stop it, will ya! You're being really harsh! You make it sound like I'm the bad guy." Moroha offended from that.
"She is, isn't she?" Towa whispered to Setsuna.
"She sure is." Setsuna agreed without a second thought.
"No way! Moroha is no bad guy because she's too awesome caring to not an innocent life, let out killing others by taking their bones!" Touta pointed his sword at Tokotsu.
"Whether you were killed by Moroha or somebody else, it doesn't matter because that was probably karma for all the bad things you have done such as killing the lives of many humans just because you were a powerful demon." Touta glared.
"So what if I did? Those humans should feel honored to have been killed by me." Tokotsu grinned.
"Okay, I was going to make Moroha apology for the misunderstanding, but after hearing that just now I have change my mind." Towa said as she grabs her sword.
"Hell yeah, I'm not here to apologize. I'm here to kick some ass!" Moroha smirked.
"Looks like it was wise to stick around with you people, you're starting to feel more like companions." Setsuna smiled, getting ready to use her naginata to fight.
(Music: Falling Down, Breaking Point)
"You will all die with no bones left in your bodies!" Jakotsumaru yelled as the red skeletons charge at those four half-demons.
"Come and try me!" Moroha smirked as she pulls out her Kurikaramaru from the sheath.
"Crimson Dragon Wave!" Moroha unleashed her red energy attack taking out some of the red skeleton soldiers and hit directly onto Tokotsu making him scream in pain.
"Father!" Jakotsumaru shocked.
"Cyclone Burst!" Setsuna fired her tornado attack destroying some red skeletons.
Towa runs into the battle knowing what to expect as she slashes down four red skeletons which would make her feel more comfortable since she is fighting what's already dead.
"Take this!" Touta attacked Jakotsumaru hard with his sword swings.
Jakotsumaru could not believe how strong this young boy pushing him back and even slowly breaking his steel fan, he jumps over Touta trying to use his power to remove the bones from his body only for Touta to suddenly vanish from his sight.
"What? Where did he go?" Jakotsumaru shocked.
"Still here, dude!" Touta answered and smack the fan away with his tail.
It turns out that Touta had lean forward down superfast to make it look like he vanish to flip forward with his tail stretch outward, and then he swing his sword that unleashes a demonic flying black slash attack that hits Jakotsumaru sending him crashing on the ceiling and a cut on his chest.
"My son!" Tokotsu worried while recovering from Moroha's attack.
"That was for the wolves!" Touta yelled.
"I think that was a pretty good move, I'm going to call it the Black Wolf Tail Slash!" Touta declared the name of his attack.
"Hey, that's not a bad name there." Moroha impressed after taking out two red skeletons in one swing.
"You… You're the one who disgraced my father. I will kill you!" Jakotsumaru leaped at Moroha to take her bones.
But suddenly Moroha spit out something from mouth that forces the bone taking demon to block with his fan, but he groans in pain as some of that stuff got on his hand.
"What?!" Jakotsumaru shocked seeing his right hand nothing but bones now.
"How'd you do that? Do you have acid spit?" Touta asked shock.
"I had a little purification salt in my mouth." Moroha answered.
"Damn you, but how? A demon like you shouldn't be able to posses spirit powers." Jakotsumaru puzzled with anger.
"Wait, you're saying demons can't do spirit powers?" Touta asked.
"Of course, they can't!" Jakotsumaru yelled the answer.
"I believe I can explain that part." Myoga laughed.
"What? Who's there? Show yourself?" Jakotsumaru demanded looking around.
"Right here!" Myoga revealed himself on Moroha's shoulder surprising Touta.
"Lady Moroha is the daughter of Kagome, the reincarnation of the legendary priestess Kikyo, who was skilled in the purification of evil. It's only natural she would be equipped with spirit powers." Myoga explained with a grin.
"What? The daughter of Kikyo's reincarnation? But doesn't that make them pretty unrelated?" Jakotsumaru asked.
"You be quiet!" Myoga yelled.
"I thought you would've left the scene once the battle started." Touta said.
"I was about to run away, but then I thought it was almost time for you know what, Lady Moroha." Myoga looked towards Moroha.
"Yup, you guessed it. It's time!" Moroha smirked as she opens her clam showing the rouge.
"I get to taste my Master's blood for the first time in 200 years!" Myoga excited.
"You're going to put on makeup?" Touta puzzled.
"It's more than that, but there is something you need to know. I'm gonna be out for a whole day after this, so promise to watch my back." Moroha smiled at Touta.
"What did she mean by a whole day?" Towa asked.
"That just makes her troublesome." Setsuna commented.
"OK, here goes! With this rouge…" Moroha rubbed the rouge on her lips.
"I become Beniyasha, the Destroyer of Lands. Tremble before the bloodthirsty! Bear witness to your end if you so dare!" Moroha talked serious with her body glowing fierce demonic red and her eyes becoming yellow.
"Whoa, it's like she's a whole different person now!" Touta surprised.
"This rouge was a gift from the Great Dog-Demon to his wife, Lady Izayoi. Whenever Lady Moroha applies the rouge, his memories are immediately revived in her delicious blood!" Myoga explained and sucks on her blood.
"Please don't ruin this with that." Touta smacked on Myoga and flicks him away, then saw the red bones around them are dissolving from Moroha's presence.
"Jakotsumaru, do not like your guard down. My body was taken from me by those devilish claws of hers!" Tokotsu warned his son.
"How dare you, Beniyasha!" Jakotsumaru jumped at his foe.
The two clash their weapons and Jakotsumaru jumps for the ceiling then goes down to attack Moroha.
"Iron Reaver, Soul Stealer!" Moroha slashed at Jakotsumaru causing his body to dissolve into nothing.
"Now those wolves can rest in peace." Touta smiled.
"You're still going on about that?" Setsuna asked.
"Damn you! You killed Jakotsumaru!" Tokotsu angered, he lunges to Moroha biting on her shoulder.
Moroha groans in pain and saw the red skeleton monster coming at him, but she didn't want to be brought down like that.
"Blades of Blood!" Moroha unleashed a barrage attack of blood hitting Tokotsu bursting him in flames.
"Wow, she's amazing!" Towa impressed with how strong Moroha is.
"No, not really. Just look at her." Setsuna said.
They look down seeing Moroha is suddenly asleep on the floor with a stupid grin on her face.
"She's asleep!" Touta shocked.
"She used up her demon power." Setsuna said.
"So, she only lasts about a minute, huh? Instant noodles take longer than that." Towa disappointed a bit.
"Curse you…" Tokotsu angered, showing himself to still be alive.
"Well then, time to fulfill my promise to watch her back." Touta walked toward Tokotsu.
"Touta, be careful!" Towa warned.
"Don't worry, this monster won't hurt anyone nor wolves ever again." Touta powered up his demon power and channeling it into his sword.
"Tokotsu of the Four Perils. You don't deserve to rest in peace for all the sins you have done, suffer in HELL!" Touta jumped at Tokotsu and threw down his sword right on the head.
His attack not only destroy the remains of Tokotsu, but it would seem that his palace has also vanished without a trace.
(Music End)
In the sky, Takechiyo in his flying form saw the palace vanish right before his eyes holding a conch shell to his ear.
"Master Jyubei, they destroyed everything out here, including the Red Bone Palace!" Takechiyo informed.
"Even Tokotsu and Jakotsumaru?" Jyubei asked surprise.
"Yup, they're completely gone." Takechiyo nodded.
"Well done, Half-Demon Princesses and Prince. Too bad having no remains left means I can't give a bounty." Jyubei said.
"I guess that means the profit go to us, huh?" Takechiyo asked.
"My thoughts exactly. Come on back." Jyubei ordered.
"Yes sir." Takechiyo nodded and starts heading back to the shop.
"Wow, there's really nothing left. Looks like we won't be getting that bounty." Towa said.
"Probably not." Setsuna agreed.
"Are you sure about that?" Touta smirked and showing two large tusks and two red horns.
"What the… Are those from Tokotsu?" Setsuna shocked.
"Yep, I managed to get them at the last second before I landed the finishing blow. I'm very quick for these sorts of things." Touta explained.
"It looks like we'll be getting the bounty after all." Towa smiled.
"Yeah, Moroha will be happy to hear that." Touta smiled down at the sleeping Moroha who is dreaming of gold.
Oh boy, Takechiyo and Jyubei are going to in of a field day when Touta presented the tusks and horns.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
