Chapter 10: Deviluke (Part 3)

Rito saw them, numbering a strong thirty in spite of the fact they'd lost a few numbers; the demons charged towards him, hunger & violence in their eyes. The Devilukeans could only look on surprised, as this human stranger was suddenly attracting all these never-before-seen creatures towards him. Stretching out his shadows, he sliced ten metres ahead of him, critically injuring at least a fifth of the opposition. The remaining demons decided to split to further their chances, as they jumped to different sides- attacks would be harder to defend if from many different angles. From different areas, they jumped & clawed towards Rito, but before they could even hit him, he was gone; clustered at where he once was; a large explosion tore through the unsuspecting creatures as an inferno rose up to the air. The last few demons decided to make a run for it, but the recovered Devilukean guards cut them down; Rito examined the area next to him- it was fiery with the charred remains of the demons leaving a strong smell of burning in the air. He could see his friends & the King himself coming over to his position.

"Well, I'd say that demons in this area is very rare," Rito stated with a small sense of surprise as he looked towards the King. "Normally, they prefer the less-developed places… like good ol' Earth," he continued with is explanation as he pointed up towards space.

"Yes, creatures like this have never set foot on this planet…" Gid contemplated as he started to rub his chin, "… so they must have came here for a specific purpose- like you for example," the King stated staring pointedly at the orange-haired boy. All the boy could do was to put his arms up in the air. "The question is why? So, I ask why?" the King regarded Rito as he waited for an answer.

With a long breath, Rito started explaining, "Well, during my two years of training, like you'd expect, I experienced many different types of enemies, and one of the main ones were demons. Since I've beaten/killed so many of them (as a human), these guys are always after me," he glanced towards the dead bodies of the attackers. "It seems like beings from the other realms are finally starting to make their moves- I forgot to say that creatures from other dimensions are after me…" Rito added with a slight sweat drop on his forehead.

The King, putting his hands on his hips, replied," hmmm… it seems you can defend yourself well against enemies, but there is more to be expected," his eyes narrowed. "…so, I will monitor the Earth from up in orbit to ensure that nothing will happen to my daughters," Gid finished with a protective look on his face as people looked on surprised at his decision.

"Wow, wow wow… wait just a moment! If you're going to be doing all of this stuff, then who'll be ruling the planet in your place? It sure as hell isn't going to be me for obvious reasons…" Yuuki Rito asked with worry. All eyes were now on Gid.

"Heh, don't be stupid; I've got a diplomatic wife for a reason," he said with a smile, while Rito looked on confused. "Our planet also has a Queen as well, ya know?" God stated as he looked questioningly towards Rito; with this statement, Rito started to nod his head, as he understood.

It was about five hours later when they arrived back home on the Earth with weary eyes; from a holographic transmitter, they could see Gid. "So, I'll be in orbit around Earth so any trouble, and I'll be there quicker than a fish out of barrel," the King stated with confidence as the others merely shook their head.

"That'll be good, but don't be getting up to any sneaky business…" Rito started with a worry as he observed the Devilukean monarch. The king merely nodded slowly and the transmission ended as they walked off towards their house- it was the evening.

Noticing his sister's presence in the kitchen, he made his way in that direction. He found his sister busy, preparing a meal for all of them. "Well, looks like my amazing sister is at it again," Rito complimented with a smile as he observed his sister. "Everything fine on your end right?" Rito asked with a small amount of concern.

"No, everything's been pretty peaceful- but it's more interesting when everyone's here," Mikan replied with a shrug and pointing upwards. "How was meeting Lala's father by the way?" she asked with interest, then her eyes narrowed. "… He didn't try to kill you, did he?"

"Well… about that…" Rito explained what had happened on Deviluke including the encounter with the demons and the King himself. His sister looked very surprised at the end.

"Man, those guys follow you so much," his sister, commented with annoyance; "I'm surprised you haven't been killed yet…" she continued with a dark look on her face. Then she put her arms around his taller, muscular body as she started speaking muffled, "… but I am serious, Onii-chan. If you died, I don't know what I'd do… so please, don't do anything too rash," she softly said into his chest.

Rito hugged her back and also patted her head with another hand as she glanced up towards him, "heh, don't worry Mikan, I'll be fine, and if I do act rash, it'll be to ensure that everything is as great as it is now… so, you shouldn't let your life be dragged down by my troubles too much," he stated with a firm pat on his own chest. The two stayed like this for a few more moments before Rito decided to speak up again, "… heh, yeah… this is starting to get a bit awkward," he mentioned as Mikan started turning red.

"Stupid, Nii-chan," she said with a smirk, as she turned back around and continued with her dinner preparations; you ruined our moment there, she thought with a sigh. Rito on the other hand, just shrugged and made his way upstairs.
