Warnings: AU, OOC-ness, grammar error, cursed language, Takasugi


Prologue

Kazama Chikage

The night was very beautiful when the Full Moon had risen above of the sky. But it was much more beautiful when there have such elegant buildings at the Kyoto made by humans one.

Kazama couldn't help but to laugh humorlessly.

He never thought he could admire the humans' ability of build city and town when they'll end up destroying and killing everything in the end.

Humans are such a foolish creature.

To think they'll create some wars just for the sake of money and power. It was a very foolish desire for humans like them.

That's why he despises of humans creature very much.

As much as he hated them, the blonde-haired Oni needed to ally along with the Satsuma-han for paying their debt after they've protected Kazama clan and Amagiri clan when the shogunates need their power. Whether their intending may be foolish and selfish one, Kazama still needed to owe them back.

He was a bit surprised a few couple of days ago that Kodou suddenly side with Satsuma-han as well. Despite how he has a last name of Demon of the East too, Yukimura, yet that bald man do not directly related to the blood much. Kodou, like along with the humans, hated him very much. From what he'd heard from Amagiri, Kodou is the responsible for creating Ochimizu, an elixir that would turn humans into fake demons. That old man is gone too far.

"It seems that you're still continue on create that medicine, Yukimura Kodou," Kazama spoke in stern, entered the bald man's room without knocking where Kodou created Ochimizu most of his life ever since he was siding on Satsuma-han.

When Kodou found out of the Demon of the West's presence, he faced to his, and gave him such a very innocent expression in which Kazama had an urge to kill that old man.

"With this Ochimizu, I will create demons as many of them as I wanted to," Kodou said proudly.

Kazama spat out in disgustingly.

"They're nothing but fake."

Kodou's gentle and kind face suddenly turned into grim, sighed knowing that Kazama wouldn't agree of what he intended to do.

"The Yukimura Village has been destroyed by the humans.." Kodou explained, knowing as well that the blonde-haired Oni knew of the Demon of the East's demise of fate, yet the bald man still wanting the Lord of the West to sympathy him and the Yukimura clan just how unfortunate they are and his family shouldn't have been killed. All they ever wanted to live in peace. Why can't the humans accepted that? "As the Head Demon of the West, you should've understood our sufferings too."

It was for quite awhile then Kazama remained quiet for a moment, then taking leave and could've sworn Kazama just heard the bald man chuckled lightly.

Though the main reason he left Kodou wasn't because he could understood of the Demon of the East's suffering when their village destroyed. It was opposite one. He knew nothing a word of suffering. He couldn't even understand of their suffering as well. But Kodou was gone too far. He obviously had lost his pride as a demon already. Though he need to have some patient before he's ready to kill him.

It may also take a long time for the Demon of the West kills him no matter how much he wanted to take his life away already. Unfortunately, the Satsuma-han still need him and the Ochimizu too in which, he has to wait until his debt finally pay off.

There it was again; another screaming from the abominations at the night of Kyoto. As much as he would rather drinking Sake and taking a nice view of the Full Moon for this night, yet those fake demons were ruining his mood already.

Sighing in frustratedly, putting his katana on his obi, Kazama prepared himself to hunt down the Rasetsus even if they're one of Satsuma-han. Well the one that needed to blame is none other than the fake demons. They're the responsible for ruining the Demon of the West's mood of drinking expensive Sake that one of a member of Satsuma presented him to as a warming-gift.

As he had left from the Satsuma headquarter, as he expected, Amagiri followed Kazama as well as if the red-headed Oni is a very lost little chick who needed its mother very much. ..Not that it bothered him actually. Kazama has getting used to it of getting follow by Amagiri since that loyal man has always been side with him since he was very young.

"It seems that the fake demons were making a ruckus," Kazama sighed heavily once more as they walked around the night street. Amagiri didn't spoke anything yet, still following him as if he was waiting for Kazama to have a permission to speak with him, and so, the blonde-haired Oni continued: "If they kept going to do this every night, we'll erase their existence even if they're one of Satsuma-han."

"From the information I found, Kodou had been researched of the Ochimizu since he was once siding with the group of ronins called the Shinsengumi."

Kazama remained silent for a moment then, continued on walking the night street once more, looking for the abominations to erase their existence.

The Shinsengumi…

He had heard of so much rumors of the group of samurai Shinsengumi. Most of it they were one of the most fearful warriors with a light blue coat, killed down on ronins, including the Rasetsu, as well as fought for their pride.

Pride, huh?

Kazama snorted as he heard that word.

He finds all humans were just the same. They had no pride at all if you ask the Demon of the West. Including the famous of Shinsengumi.

As they heard a maniac screamed somewhere around the corner of street, Kazama and Amagiri went there without hesitated with a fullspeed thanks to their Oni's ability.


"Yo, don't mind if I join in as well?"

Kazama faced to a familiar gunslinger after the two Onis had just slaughtered several abominations at the night of Kyoto then.

"Shiranui? What brings you here?"

"Well… just the usual thing I'm doing, visiting an old friend of mine, inviting to drink a Sake with him and as I was on my way to go back to Choshuu Headquarter I accidently found you guys having some fun so now… here I am," the tan-skinned demon said with a wide grin on his face then.

Kazama didn't spoke anymore, sheathed his sword back when he had done killing down the rasetsus that's been bothered him greatly.

"Do it what you like. Just don't getting my way."

The Demon of the West replied, turning on his heel as he continued on searching another abominations in the night of Kyoto.

Shiranui replied with another grin then, followed the two Onis.

Kazama didn't mind at all for having another recruit to help him to erase the fake demons. Knowing that Shiranui doesn't give any shits about killing Rasetsus though. All what gives him an attention to follow along with Kazama and Amagiri were actually to find something fun. Especially searching an enemy which are stronger than him.

But the rasetsus were very weak like most insects.

"Speaking about your old friend, Shiranui," Amagiri began. "were you visiting Takasugi Shinsaku-dono?"

"Yup. That's him alright." Shiranui said happily, as if he finally got a gift that he's been wanting so much.

The Demon of the West began to face to the two Onis as he gave them a dark, grim expression on his bored and dull face.

"Amagiri," Kazama called the red-headed Oni, in which, Amagiri replied with stopped in mid-walking, looking at his Lord in a slightly confused. "I could understand you respect everyone including those abominations very much. But, do you really have to call that damn Takasugi in a very respectful as well?"

Amagiri remained quiet then, a bead of cold sweat starting to form on his face.

"T-That is…"

No words Amagiri could able to form then.

Before Kazama could speak once more, a certain Oni interrupted him:

"…Hey, Kazama."

Kazama faced to Shiranui then, and there was a cold expression on the gunslinger's face, which is, it was rare one from the gunslinger.

"I swear I would shot your damn balls if you insult Takasugi that way."

The Demon of the West was slightly stunned to see this side of Shiranui. From what he knew about Takasugi, Shiranui has always looked up him a lot. He had won several wars in Choshuu-han, in which, bringing the gunslinger admired him more and more.

…Unfortunately, not so long after that, Takasugi died from a very popular illness around the Kyoto, tuberculosis.

Leaving him dying on the bed then.

Despite Takasugi fought everything he had until the very end, the thing that bothers Kazama greatly is about Shiranui, himself.

If the gunslinger truly admired that Takasugi person greatly, doesn't Takasugi feels a little… bothered to have a demon such as Shiranui himself for looking up on him despite being a human?

Shouldn't he suppose to see, fear and treat Shiranui like a monster?

This Takasugi person is a very odd man to Kazama…

His thoughts then returned back to reality as soon as he heard another scream from the fake demons. Forgetting his thoughts about Takasugi, using his fullspeed to search the abominations.

Upon of standing on the roof, the three Onis gazed down on the buildings to find the Rasetsus then. It wasn't long after that then, they finally found them.

Their eyes showed in a hidden of perplexed as they watched the fake demons were chasing around the street in crazily.

"What the hell are they chasing for?" Shiranui asked in confusedly, searching of whatever that gives the Rasetsus attention to chase.

"Take a look." Amagiri said, pointed on the human with a light-colored male clothes who ran as if his life was very important. "It seems that they were after an innocent human."

"Oooooh~ it seems that that human is very lucky to approach Rasetsus." Shiranui whistled. His purple-orbs then faced to the Demon of the West. "So Kazama, what'cha gonna do about it?"

Kazama didn't spoke any word yet but only gazed on the pathetic human very deeply. He can sense a very strange aura around the boy.

What is it?

He's just a human.

Nothing special at all.

It took a moment then Kazama finally turned his heel, replied with his usual cold tone on his lips:

"Leave him be. He shouldn't have approach them at a time like this."

Shiranui's reply was a sigh, as if he's been expecting that from the Demon of the West.

Amagiri, however…

"But he needs our help." There was a concern expression on his face. "We can't just turn a blind eye like tht. Didn't we come here to erase the abominations' existence?!"

"That maybe so, however.." Kazama sighed. "saving a human is not my job."

Amagiri's calm and gentle eyes slowly turned into slightly furious as if he had enough of the Demon of the West's arrogant attitude.

Before Amagiri started a long lecture to the Demon of the West, the gunslinger stop the red-headed man then:

"Hey, hey, chill out, guys." Shiranui patted the two Onis' shoulders to calm them down despite Amagiri's state getting worse. "How about this, we should finish killing those crazy fake demons first. Then, we can settle this. So? What do you think?"

Kazama and Amagiri giving the gunslinger that look at the same time, if you know what I mean, the Demon of the West speaking with a hidden growled on Kazama's lips then:

"You're just trying to play around those abominations, are you, Shiranui?"

"Oh, come on!" Shiranui whined. "It's not that I always play around with them everyday."

"Actually," Amagiri began. "You've always didn't fight seriously each time you're approaching with someone, especially that's weaker than you."

"But this is rasetsus. Pretty sure it'll be fun to play around with them." Shiranui said, twirling his gun in playfully.

It took a moment then Kazama thought about it deeper. Sighing in frustrated.

Oh for the Demon Lord…

He despises rescuing a human very, very much.

Never in his entire lifetime he has ever rescue a human before. But even if it was, it was an ordered by the leader of Satsuma-han.

But the fake demons' laughter drivin' him crazy so much, in which he has to ending their life once and for all, even if he has to rescue that damn human.

"Fine…" Kazama said in frustratedly. "But as for you, Shiranui," the Demon of the West glared deep into the gunslinger. "Don't even think about playing around with them. Kill them in a split second."

At that, Kazama began to jump off the roof to chase after the fake demons, following along with Amagiri as well.

As for Shiranui though, he'd still stood on the roof, gapped like a fish in disbelief of whatever the Demon of the West demanded him.


Several fake demons had been slaughtered everywhere around him. The smell made him sick to death already. To think, there's more of fake demons than he ever imagined.

Just how much stubborn they are to create more abominations in the Human World, anyway?

"Ahhhh!"

Kazama's ears suddenly twitched upon of hearing a human's screaming.

Crimson-red orbs shot into the young brunette. The almond-brown orbs of his were terrifying. His legs soon shaking up in frightening as he slowly fell down on the hard floor, watching the fake demon kills him as if he was intending to commit suicide after all.

That foolish boy…!

Kazama thought angrily, using his fullspeed demon to launch an attack to the fake demon who's trying to kill the young brunette. His body slowly turned into ashes then.

"It seems that you have an unfortunate fate today, Human." Kazama said in lazily, but at the same time, in frustrated. He finds himself disgusted to save a pathetic human such as him.

Upon of gazing the young brunette's eyes longer, he can see there was a hidden of hope and admire just now. Was those eyes meant for him?

Was this human just gladly to be rescued by him?

Nonsense… there's no human could ever admired nor look up a monster such as Oni like himself.

…Or maybe it were meant for something else…?

But more importantly, why did he just rescued a human again? He should've let that damn Rasetsu ending that brat's life instead of his or Amagiri and Shiranui.

"Blood... Bloooood...!"

New fake demon appeared himself out from the shadow, looking at them in desperate for blood. "I WANT BLOOD. BLOOD. BLOOD. BLOOD. BLOOD. BLOOD. BLOOD. BLOOOOOOD!"

Kazama grabbed his hilt very tightly, readying himself to kill the abomination without hesitated. Eyes were filled with disgusted upon of meeting some crazy ronins such as them.

"Pathetic." He snorted lazily, slaughtered the fake demon in a very short time. Blood splattering on the night of Kyoto before it turned into ashes then.

Before he took another new prey of abominations, the Demon of the West could hear a very soft whimpering and sobbing somewhere.

The next thing he knew, it was belonged to the young human.

The brunette pinched his nose very tightly as the smell started getting worse.

By looking of his expression, he doesn't look like he's getting used to this kind of situation before.

Where is he came from if he's not living in Kyoto?

Shaking his head in nonsensely, he has to focus on his job first.

The boy is none of his concern.

After all, he would eventually die by the Onis' hand then.

Kazama started to turn his heels then, continued on slaughtering the fake demons as he tried to ignore those whimpers and sobs the brunette made.


"So Kazama, what are you gonna do to this guy?" The gunslinger began as his eyes laid down into the young, pathetic human. "He's definitely not a rasetsu to me."

Shiranui should've known about it.

When Kazama's crimson-red orbs laid into the almond-brown one, he can see just how much desperate the young human wanted to live. He can see just how much desperate the young human wanted to leave this place and never comes back.

Then again, if he lets the boy alive, fake demons might chase after him once more.

It would be such a waste after all he… r-rescue this damn human.

"Isn't it obvious?" Kazama finally spoke, eyes laid into the two Onis in dull and bored one. "Just kill him already. He would eventually die like most of pathetic humans."

Amagiri replied with a sigh of disappointing. For whatever the red-headed man thought in his mind, Kazama doesn't gives any shit about it. He doesn't really quite care about human whether they are innocent or not.

Before Shiranui putting new bullets into his gun, the young brunette started stood without hesitatedly, running away as if he finally saw a monster.

"It's hopeless to run!,"

As the bullet finally released and hit it on the human's sleeve, something caught Kazama an attention about the boy.


He had watched.

He had watched everything already.

He thought this boy in front of him is just another pathetic human that shouldn't have seen everything already.

The abominations…

The Shinsengumi…

He thought this boy would be worth to be killing already. In the end, the Demon of the West was wrong.

Very, very wrong.

As usual, Shiranui was being hot-tempered as ever; shooting the boy without thinking at all. Well, even if he or Amagiri trying to stop him, it would be the same already. But what it gives an attention to the Demon of the West is not because the boy was very strong to have survived of Shiranui's attack. It was because his arm suddenly healed for a few seconds then. Shiranui wasn't the only shocked to see it. Even Amagiri could felt himself to have a surprise expression on his face.

Just what is that boy anyway?

No, rather than called it as a boy, could it be this young brunette is a female for a whole time? If you look at it very closely, this girl has actually had a feminine gesture, in which that proves that its definitely a she's. If this woman truly is a demon too, how could she end up lost in the Human World? Demons shouldn't have involved themselves with a human affair and from what he known, only Kazama clan and Amagiri clan had a debt that needed to pay to the humans.

So who is she? What village she lived? Which clan does this woman belong to?

The moment he laid his eyes on her kodachi, he seemed to have familiar of it somewhere and he remembered now that the kodachi that she bringing on her hip now is belonging to the Demon of the East, Yukimura.

Yukimura…

Is there by any chance that there's a connection between this woman and Kodou…?

Weren't all members of the Yukimura died in a burning village?

How could she survived?

When Kazama revealed his true self to the young brunette, her eyes turned very horrifying as she slowly transformed into a demon as well. That's prove that the young girl was truly one of them; Oni.

As she slowly losing her conscious for not feeling very familiar of this kind of Oni aura, Kazama caught her from falling a very hard ground. His golden orbs took a gazed on her very closely, realizing the Yukimura girl is a very beautiful one compared most demoness he met in his village, which, they're not pure-blooded one.

There aren't a lot of female pure-blooded demons anymore.

And as for this Yukimura girl, she might be have a higher chance to be his—

"What are you gonna do with her once she'll wake up, Kazama-sama?" Amagiri began questioned as they were about to return to the Satsuma headquarter as Kazama carried her by putting her body on his right shoulder.

It wasn't a gentleman one as Shiranui described it

Kazama faced to Amagiri for a moment, then returned back to the Satsuma-han headquarter, finally spoke then: "There's a few questions that I want this girl answer whether she likes it or not. And..," he paused for a few seconds then and continued once again, "I would make sure she'll be safe with us since she's obviously a demon like us."

At that, they finally remained silent as they still walked until they reached to the Satsuma headquarter, commanding the young boy with onxy orbs to tie her up to make sure she wouldn't run away when she finally woke up, in which he obey the Demon of the West without complaining.


A/N: So…. Who's the boy who had an onyx orbs? OwO Someone you know? Then yes, you might be shock in the next chapter then :DD

As for about Takasugi, I'd just can't helped but really falls in love with him the moment I played Urakata for the first time. So I need to mention him in this story since Shiranui really, really admired Takasugi a lot. [SPOILERS: Don't read it if you don't want to know]:

1) In Stories of the Shinsengumi, Shiranui was a bit secretive about Takasugi when Senhime wants to know an information about him.

2) In Kazama-hen, Shiranui mentioned him to Harada before Harada died.

3) Aaaaand in Kazama's special chapter, Shiranui was a little mad how Kazama insult(?) Takasugi so yea… Shiranui probably has a gay for Takasugi besides Harada xDD

But I did told you to play Urakata first, right? :P

Anyway thank you for lovely reviews. As usual they were all made me smile, happy and blush at the same time. Just glad you guys enjoy the story :33

Thank you for reading and please review~ ^w^
