Chapter XIII

While Nigel seek Ash Crimson, Bathala prepared his men taking Iori's former teammates with him as prisoners. It is better they are with them. The Devil will be easier to deal with, with these two as captives. Their boss will not want anything to happen to these two women.

Nigel defeated Ash and was able to take the sacred treasure belonging to Iori. They were at Yagami's home. Nigel thought it appropriate if ever Iori is making a big decision let it be here where his clan's spirit will or will not influence him. He watched carefully as Iori stared in wonder at his power just waiting to be regained by him. Nigel let Cassandra stay at Enchanta, his goddaughter will know Iori's decision. The two are unaware that Bathala gave the spell to Nigel. Both their names are on a piece of Heaven's scroll. All he has to do is erase their names or burn the spell to release them from it. He watched the temptation growing in Iori's eyes. He decided to coax him,

"Take it back, Iori." Iori just looked mesmerized at the treasure as it floated and glowed green before him.

With a trembling hand he reached out and almost touched it. "With your pyrokinesis back you can effectively kill Kyo Kusanagi. Iori just watched the green glow play against the skin of his palm. This is so close. He can have everything back. He can even make Ash pay for stealing his pyrokinesis from him. All he has to do is grab this treasure.

"T-There is the p-possibility..." that Nigel saw him take a couple of gulps in nervousness. So did he or did not he changed his mind concerning his powers? "I-If I take this..." he now looked at Nigel "I will go into transition known as as riot of blood," Nigel now knows Iori's decision "...because in that Orochi state I was able to kill two women once. But I was also able to rid of evil." He sighed before continuing. "I can't take the risk if I want to start a family." Nigel smiled at Iori's remark. "If ever because of this power I accidentally will harm Cassie or the family we have. I'd rather kill myself."
