Chapter Misunderstanding

Basara

"Basara! Get over here!"

Mio came bursting into his room holding what looked like a CD. "What is this?!" She shoved it into his face as she said it.

"W-what?" Basara glanced at the CD and read the title. "That is not mine at all! Maria probably put it there!"

"Yes?" Maria popped into the room at the mention of her name. "Did you put that CD in my room?!" "Oh that? I thought

Basara would like it, being a teenager." "I'm not like that!" Basara's face reddened at the thought.

"Hey, I sense someone coming here. . ." "So what Mio? People live around here." Mio frowned. "But, this feels like, magic."

"What?! How do they know where we live?" "Calm down Basara. . . they could just pass through." Despite Maria's efforts,

Basara still felt uneasy about it. Magic users coming here? They could be demons coming to take Mio's power. . .

An explosion at the door snapped him out of his thoughts. "Inquisition!" Two figures came out of the smoke.

The first, a boy with black messy hair like Basara's came out with a katana. A katana?! Basara responded by taking out his

own sword and slammed it into the strangers blade. "Ugh!" The boy jumped back and pressed a hand to his ear.

"Usagi! Begin sniping!" Basara immediately dove and shoved down Maria as a bullet zoomed through the window.

"Who are you?!" As Basara got up, he saw Mio fighting a girl with orange hair, wielding a pistol. "Dammit, go away!"

Mio shot out a bolt of lightning and the girl shot it back. "Where's the hostage?!" she yelled out, pointing her gun at Basara.

"What hostage?!" Basara yelled back, as the boy continued to slash at him. How did he dodge his cuts? A normal demon would have

been cut by now. "Kusanagi double-edged art: Slice Wave!" His opponents voice snapped him back to the fight. "Light Orb!"

Just before the blows connected, he saw something appear out of the trees in the front lawn. It was a demon.

No, many demons.
