Chapter 3: Natsume's ability
Haru was lying on her side breathing hard and crying, "Haru's what's wrong?", Natsume was panicking, was this what the dagger was supposed to do to its master? "Damn it, this wasn't supposed to happen, what should I do? She collapsed and on top of that were being stalked by a freaking demon, how else can this get any worse?" Natsume was speaking to himself in his head. Natsume picked up Haru and carried her on her back he ran through trees and saw his destination, a huge hill, that's the waiting spot, the perfect place to transport. He put Haru down he was still too early, she had fallen asleep, but her hand didn't stop bleeding, he ripped some of his shirt off and wrapped it around her hand, the blood came through but the shirt soaked it up, but there was nothing he could do until help arrived and he got to Midnight Castel. He thought to himself "Where the hell is Ruka, if he doesn't get here soon, the stalker demon might attack and I can't handle it by myself, again how can this get any worse?" Suddenly it started to rain, the water was coming down hard and spearing Natsume, it left grazes and scratches where normal rain shouldn't, it was becoming quite humid and hot, the rain was starting to heat up, soon it would becoming a blazing hell and he and Haru would get scalded. Natsume had to think fast, what could he do? He knew magic, but he isn't very successful at the force field spell. He couldn't remember, suddenly a huge shadow came out, a big red demon stood in front of Natsume, Natsume cursed, "The water demon, I read about you in our demon classes, you make it rain when you want to come in for the kill, the rain has 2 effects, it leaves the prey wounded and soon scalded as you make the rain heat up", "Yes, little mouse knows more than he seems he does" the demon grumbled, "but do you know how to stop me?", Natsume hesitated, but finally came up with an answer "If I can't make force field, I'll just have to make rain stop", he pointed his finger towards the sky "E ERES RAYA O ERES STARA!" he yelled and a flash of light flew from his hand to the sky, but the rain didn't stop. "Tsk, little mouse my rain doesn't stop that easily" the demon boasted, Natsume smiled slyly, "Look again, freak", the rain had stopped, the demons mouth was wide open, "How did you stop my rain?" the demon asked paralyzed, "I'm not the best magician in my school for nothing, idiot" Natsume boasted. The demon stood there looking at him, "Don't tell me you're the son of him" the demon quivered, "Don't speak of him!" Natsume yelled, "You are, you are the son of..." the demon was cut off by Natsume's spell chanting, "KATANA E ERES O KAMI RE RAI" Natsume yelled, suddenly a bolt of lightning struck down and Natsume held open his hand, a katana appeared made out of lightning and Natsume looked angrier than ever, "Come on kid you don't expect to beat me with a little sword you summoned" the demon laughed, "this isn't any little katana" Natsume said with anger, "This is the legendary Lightning Katana, Kaminari-Katana. The demon backed down with fear, "You can summon the legendary sword of the lightning god?" the demon quivered, "Yeah, and I'm not about to hold back", the demon moved his eyes towards Haru, "What if I took someone very important to you?" the demon bluffed, Natsume was thinking who was important to him, he realized, Haru! But it was too late; the demon had Haru in one of his arms already, he held her by the body and squeezed his hand into a fist, "KYAAAAA!" Haru screamed, "Put her down or you'll meet your grave" Natsume bluffed, "You can't use the katana can you, kid?" the demon asked laughing, Natsume grinned "wanna find out?", the demon began to laugh and Natsume moved, before the demon could realize it, he had been slashed in half by the legendary katana, "Kid, how can you use it?" the demon asked with his final breath, "I haven't been training with it for all my life for nothing, you know" Natsume grinned at him and the demon vanished. Haru lay on the grass unconscious, he lifted her head and put her head on his lap, suddenly more footsteps came, and a little shadow came running, a little boy came out off the forest, he had mid-long blonde hair and brown eyes, he was wearing a shirt with a teddy bear on it and blue shorts, "Natsu-niisan!" he yelled, "Ruka, hurry up, you're late", "sorry, lost my way, but I'm here now", Natsume got up and picked up Haru the bridle way, "So this is the girl, huh" Ruka asked examining her face, "She's kinda cute" Ruka admitted, Natsume shot Ruka a stay away look, "Ok, I'm sorry, sheesh, she's all yours" said Ruka, "Shut up and make the portal" said Natsume looking away, Ruka looked at her face once more, "Natsu-niisan, is she supposed to be a pale colour?", Ruka asked concerned, "Shoot, I forgot, Ruka your also a healer can you heal her hand, the dagger did this to her and I don't know what to do" Natsume admitted, Ruka looked at her hand and he smiled, "Oh, Natsu-niisan, the dagger just marked her, look", Natsume looked at her hand, the blood was still seeping out just not as much and on her wrist was a purple, crescent moon, "Ruka can you stop the bleeding" Natsume asked, "Yip" and Ruka chanted a spell, "ERES E HIRU YU CHI" a glowing green light embraced Haru's hand and when the spell was over the wound was gone. Ruka looked at Natsume, "Natsu-niisan, I'm pretty sure there is supposed to be another marking as well" Ruka said confused, "We'll look into it later, first we have to go to Midnight Castel" Natsume looked at Ruka, Ruka got up and Natsume followed they both walked up the hill, Ruka finally yelled "ERES KOTSU E KIKAN", a portal appeared in front of all three of them and they walked through it, the glowing rainbow colours embracing their very auras.
