Natsumi had jumped to her feet instantly and changed her eyes. Hikaru had followed his sisters actions, sensing from Natsumi that that man was the one who had hurt her earlier.
"You bastard! How dare you return here!" Natsumi shrieked.
Kaizen had practically jumped up long with Natsumi, "Bastard!" Kaizen said, his anger seething as he pointed to the dark-haired male. Kaizen was ready to finish him right there and now.
"Now, now, Kaizen, You wouldn't want to get hurt again, now would you?" Datenshi said, narrowing his eyes at Kaizen.
"Daten, why are you here?" Illua asked, clearly growing annoyed by him.
"Why, I have come to join you. I am an Oshue after all." He said, looking back at Illua with a gentle look.
"I will never accept you, Not after what you had done!" Kaizen said, glaring over at Datenshi.
This attracted Datenshi's attention. "Oh, well that's too bad." Daten said in a sarcastic tone. "I am one of you. Like it, or not." He added, scowling at Kaizen.
Natsumi shook her head. "Y-You're an Oshue? I-I-"
"I don't care who the hell you are! You almost killed my sister! You do not deserve to live!" Hikaru yelled, pulling a kunai from his pouch.
Datenshi had raised an eyebrow and nodded slowly when it seemed like Natsumi just found out he was an Oshue. It almost made him laugh. Soon Hikaru joined in on the conversation, saying he didn't care who he was, and he didn't deserve to live. Datenshi had seen Hikaru pull out a kunai, and as he did so, Datenshi raised his arm, once again the purple flames made an appearance. Illua had stepped forward, Grabbing Datenshi's raised arm.
"I don't want any fighting." Illua said, her eyes narrowing between Daten and Hikaru.
"Well, That will be hard to do, Illua." Datenshi murmured, looking at Illua, then to his hand, still glowing purple.
Natsumi's eyes faded back to their scarlet form and she sighed. She looked between Datenshi and Illua.
"I c-can't hurt him, and neither can you, Hikaru."
"Wh-what?" Hikaru's eyes drifted at Natsumi, taken off-guard.
"He is an Oshue, I refuse to hurt any of them." She replied, lowering her head.
"B-But he hurt you!" Hikaru shook his head in anger.
"I can't, Hikaru!" She shrieked.
Hikaru was taken aback. He dropped the kunai to the ground and faded his eyes back to normal. With a sigh he stepped back - he knew Natsumi was right.
It was when both Hikaru and Natsumi had backed off that the purple flames around Datenshi's hand disappeared and Illua released Datenshi. Illua, at first, had a bad feeling about it, seeing how he hurt Natsumi, she had feared he would do the same with Hikaru. Datenshi had only smirked between the two. That was very interesting. Kaizen still seemed to seethe with hate. There was nothing against him hurting another Oshue, though Illua greatly frowned upon it... As Kaizen was about to attack...
"Kaizen, don't you think about it." Illua said, frowning at the younger male. "I had already said that I do not want any fighting." Illua said. Kaizen growled under his breath as he glared over at Daten.
"Let's go, Natsumi..." Kaizen said, gently taking her hand, to go to a place to sit down.
Natsumi just nodded and followed Kaizen.
Hikaru, however, stepped closer to Datenshi. "You say you're here to join us? How do we - everyone but Illua - know we can trust you? 'Cause I sure don't." Hikaru hissed, his onyx eyes narrowing.
Datenshi's eye narrowed as he saw Hikaru step closer. But after Hikaru asked how they could trust him Datenshi had just smiled. Someone could easily tell it was a fake smile.
"I am not here to be trusted or loved." He said, his face returning to a neutral expression. Illua had tuned in as Datenshi spoke.
"Then why are you here?" Illua said, raising an eyebrow.
Datenshi had quieted, but then turned to Illua, "For you, Of course. It's always been your dream to put together our clan... I thought I'd help you..." Datenshi said quickly. It almost seemed like he was lying...
Hikaru shook his head. "You disgust me. You're just a liar. Illua, do not believe him!"
Natsumi watched the scene nervously from a distance as she sat with Kaizen. "I-I don't get it... I thought he wasn't from your clan..." Natsumi said to Kaizen.
Illua had glanced between Hikaru and Datenshi. She didn't think that he was totally lying... They had known each other since they were little kids, Illua could trust him... Right? Kaizen had looked at Natsumi as she watched the three talk. Kaizen shook his head.
"I sure wish he wasn't.. But yeah, he is." Kaizen said, glaring over at Datenshi.
Natsumi sighed and leaned against Kaizen. "So what do we do now?"
Hikaru sighed. "Illua, he's playing with you, I'm being serious, do not trust him!"
Kaizen had relaxed when Natsumi had leaned against him. He had felt so at peace and happy around her, no matter the situation...
"I don't know.. I honestly don't know..." He said, with some sadness in his voice as he looked up into the night sky.
Illua had become very confused, on one side, Hikaru was trying to tell her that Datenshi was a liar, and not to trust him. On the other side, Datenshi tried reassuring her that he wasn't, and that he would do anything for her. It had seemed that pressure what building up inside, almost seeming like she would explode. She had put a hand to her head, suddenly feeling dizzy and almost falling over thin air. Datenshi was right there, and wrapped his arms around her, fully embracing her.
"Leave it alone." He said, glaring at Hikaru.
Natsumi looked up at the sky along with Kaizen. "What is Illua's history with him? She wont believe Hikaru when he is speaking the truth..."
Hikaru clenched his fists together as he narrowed his eyes at Datenshi. "I refuse to allow you to join us, only to ambush us later! You're after my sister and Kaizen for hurting you before! You plain outright don't like me, and Illua... you're just screwing with her head! You go! You're just a backstabber! Illua, I'm telling you the truth of him!" Hikaru begged, trying to make Illua understand.
As Natsumi had asked Kaizen the history of Illua and Datenshi, he had quieted. He was one of the only ones, apart from Meiya, who knew about Datenshi and their relationship. Illua would often not like to talk about it, and was usually angered about people even bringing it up. But Illua was close to Natsumi, very good friends. She wouldn't mind... Would she? Kaizen looked back at Natsumi, "The two go way back. Illua had grown up with him, and they knew each other since they were very small children. And not to mention they were childhood sweethearts." Kaizen stopped as he looked from Natsumi, to Illua, who was embraced by Datenshi. "I would often ask Illua why he was so important to her, why their bond was still strong, even pass the things he had said and done. She had only said that their relationship was like the two sides of a coin. One cannot exist without the other..." Kaizen said, his gaze drifting from Datenshi to the stars above.
Datenshi had seen Hikaru clench his fists and Datenshi gritted his teeth, practically ready to attack him. "I am not here to seek revenge on your sister and Kaizen. As tempting as it may sound, I would never even DREAM of hurting them." He said, loosening up, as he brought his head closer to Illua's. He had realized it would greatly upset Illua. He didn't feel like getting on her bad side again... But it was true that Datenshi did not like Hikaru. He had found him to be a pain, and fairly annoying. Illua had regained some of her balance and her vision settled. This feeling was odd... It was so unlike Illua to feel it.
Illua had only sighed, "I... I don't want to hear any more of this..." Illua whispered sadly. She had understood Hikaru, but... this was DATENSHI. He didn't mean any harm... Does he?
Hikaru shook his head. "I swear, if you do ANYTHING, I will not hesitate to kill you! And I am far stronger than my sister." Hikaru hissed before walking over to Kaizen and Natsumi.
Datenshi had narrowed his eyes as Hikaru swore he would kill him if he did anything. He also said he was stronger then his sister, He had laughed on the inside. If that was a way of intimidating him, it did not work. He had soon walked off, and Datenshi was put at ease. Datenshi had looked at Illua, who was now standing at this point, and gave her a sheepish smile.
Natsumi frowned up at her brother. "H-Hikaru, maybe he really isn't going to do anything..." She whispered.
Hikaru narrowed his eyes at Natsumi before looking at Kaizen. "If you love my sister, you better keep your guard up around that guy." He said before storming off to a tree and sitting down beneath it.
Kaizen had seen Hikaru walk towards him and Natsumi, and Hikaru said if Kaizen really loved Natsumi, he would keep his guard around Datenshi. Kaizen nodded. Of course he would, He didn't trust him, and didn't like him at all. Natsumi had caught Kaizen in surprised when she pulled away from him and told him she would be back. He was confused why, but he patiently waited for them both to return.
Natsumi turned her gaze back to Illua and Datenshi. From a distance he looked trustable besides the Akatsuki cloak that covered his body, but the weak amount of pain that was still in her cheek reminded her that he wasn't innocent. Natsumi pulled herself from Kaizen's arms and faced him.
"Stay here for a moment." She told him with a weak smile.
She walked over to Hikaru and sat down beside him, his eyes were white.
"See anything to prove your theory?" She asked before turning her eyes back to white.
"He's a hard one to read..." Hikaru hissed. "It's like he figured out how to counter our eyes..."
Natsumi nodded, realizing she was having the same problem. She knew her brother was far stronger than herself. Hikaru was born able to control the eyes, but herself, it took fifteen years before her other eye even became white.
"I do not want you two fighting... Though if you betray us, I will let Hikaru dispose of you..." Illua said, shifting her gaze from Datenshi, seeming like she couldn't look at him.
Datenshi himself could smell that lie. He knew she would do nothing to hurt him... They were like each others weaknesses, they always have a soft spot for each other. Datenshi gave Illua a warm smile. "Oh, Illua..." He said with a sigh, releasing her. "You don't really think that way... Do you?" He asked, frowning.
Illua shook her head, erasing her thoughts.
Natsumi sighed as she realeased her jutsu and rubbed her temples. "It's gonna feel like forever until we get to that island..."
Hikaru nodded, still trying to find a way to read Datenshi. Natsumi sighed and stood back up to walk over to Kaizen. She smiled down at him.
"Wanna just go for a walk with me? I don't feel like hanging around this area right now..." She admitted with a sigh.
Illua had sat down against the tree, putting a gloved hand to her forehead. The dizziness was starting to return. She was beginning to think it was her illness doing this to her. It seemed to come back, even past Natsumi's jutsu she used to weaken it. Datenshi was about to sit down beside her, but stopped quickly. Just realizing that... technique. That technique Natsumi and Hikaru used. He glared form the corner of his eye. He was REALLY starting to hate that technique... And those two. Kaizen was standing when Natsumi returned. As she smiled at him, he returned the smile back.
When she asked about going for a walk, Kaizen nodded. "Yeah, Sure." He said, taking her hand gently.
Hikaru noticed the change in Datenshi's body. He could feel the sudden anger. He smirked, however, just knowing that this may give him an opening. Natsumi surpressed a blush as she walked hand and hand with Kaizen. On their way out of the open field, she looked down at Gensou and smiled.
"Want to hang with us rather than here?"
Illua looked over at Datenshi, wondering what was going on with him.
"Datenshi?" Illua asked in a gentle voice.
Datenshi looked over at Illua, suddenly becoming calm. Her voice had seemed to calm Datenshi instantly, the anger had soon vanished. Datenshi looked over at Illua with a small smile.
"I-It was nothing..." He said, shaking the thoughts from before off.
As Natsumi asked if Gensou would like to come along, Gensou nodded. "Oh, yes, Yes. Very much!" He said, jumping to Natsumi's shoulder. "Where are we going? Where are we going?" He said quickly in joy. He seemed to not like Datenshi either, and couldn't even stand being in the same area. Kaizen raised an eyebrow at Gensou, who seemed to be in a hurry.
Natsumi shrugged. "Just around... away from here." She told Gensou with a sigh.
Hikaru sighed in annoyance as he realeased his eyes. "Smart guy. Figured out how to counter Hitima..."
