Chapter 3 Trust
Takeru
They stopped their fight to look outside at the demons that had now surrounded them.
"More demons?!" Takeru glanced over to the boy, who has a shocked expression on him. "You called in more for help eh?"
Oka now had Vlad out, pointing one at a demon, and the other at the red headed girl. "No! They're probably here to try
to take me again!" she let out a she let out a small whimper as she said it. There was a hint of fear in her voice, and Takeru
suspected she is telling the truth.
"We'll settle this later!" Before Takeru could turn his head around, the boy had lunged at the nearest demon. "Die, scumbags!"
Within a few seconds, half of the demons went down. "Maria! Take care of Mio for now!" So if the red head was Mio,
then the kid was Maria? Is the kid capable of using magic then? Oh screw this, he thought. As another demon prepared to lunge
at the boy, Takeru managed to slice it in half and twisted to avoid one. When he got up, more were coming.
"First of all," he heard the boy began, "Who are you people?!" "Inquisitors!" now they were shouting over the drone of magic.
"What?! We don't have any magic items!" "We heard there was a hostage!" "There is no hostage!" Takeru heard Usagi talk into the
comm unit. "Takeru! The demons are swarming me! I can't snipe or anything!"
They were both surrounded to the point where they had their backs to each other. "Can I trust you to take care of the ones on your
side?" Takeru asked. "If you take care of yours." "Alright then, lets go!"
Mio
Mio ducked as a demon sailed past her head. The orange haired girl was doing a good job at shooting down the advancing demons,
but they would be overwhelmed eventually. She spotted Takeru and Basara. Or at least that's what the girl had called him.
They were cutting down the demons in a circle, working with ease. Her attention snapped back toward the demon flying overhead.
But then it crashed down with Maria on it's back, vigorously punching it to death. "You!" she faced the girl as she continued to subdue
the demon beneath her. "I have a name, use it!" Yelling was the only way to communicate over the screeches of demons.
"You never told us it!" Mio kicked a demon in the face, and pulled down on her skirt.
"It's Oka!" "Well then Oka," Maria said, "Go help Basara-san! We can deal with this!" Oka shot another demon, then leaped in
Basara's direction. "Maria! Behind you!" Maria jumped, barely avoiding a deadly looking pair of claws. But then something else
caught her eye. It was something shiny.
It was Basara's sword, with his body face down next to it.
