A/N: Wow...how did you guys guess it was Kokoro? I did my best to poorly describe her. Anyways, since quite a lot of you knew it was her, this chapter is for you!
P.S: just because I added Kokoro to this story, does absolutely NOT mean that her and Eliot are going to be romantically involved with each other. I hope you all read my A/N in the first chapter AND in my summary. The pairings are listed in THERE. If you've forgotten, this is a HitomixHayate, KasumixRyuHayabusa, ELIOTxAYANE, JannLeexLeifang fanfiction. I might add a pair to Kokoro, but you won't know who it is. EliotxKokoro fans, I'm very sorry, but I don't find that couple valid!:) Hope you understand!:)
Sorry for making you read this awfully long A/N. On with the story!:)
The beast let out a deafening cry, making Ayane wince. She prepared herself by wanting to grab her Fuma Kodachi, but discovered that she only had one sword. It was a wakizashi, similar to Kasumi's, but less decorated, and smaller than her sister's. Her heart pounded in panic.
"My sword! It's... it's become a wakizashi!" Hayate yelled, showing a similar blade to the group. For a fact, Hayate was not alone; the rest of the group also had small wakizashi, Andra's sword looking more like a dagger than anything else. Hitomi looked at her blade, horrified. She's never touched a blade, unless it was a kitchen knife, or scissors.
"Your challenge is to kill this beast," Acantha's voice echoed in the room, "she lost her husband long ago, and spends her time weeping all over her throne. She thinks he's going to come back." She scoffed.
"That's horrible." Hitomi whispered. An image of herself weeping over Hayate's death came into her mind, but she hastily pushed it away. He was here, he was with her. He wasn't dead.
"No matter. Your extravagant weapons were removed, and will only come back if you come back alive. If you fail, you die. Simple." Acantha responded.
"Mei Lin is eight years old! She can't fight!" Eliot yelled, outraged.
"Oh. Right. I will take care of her, while you fight." In a beat, Mei Lin disappeared. The beast cried again.
"Well, shit. You only live once, right?" Andra chuckled bitterly, "let's get this party started." She tightened her grip on the smaller version of Bloody Lolita and ran to the beast. She was just about to slash it with her sword, when suddenly she fell to the ground, crying out in pain. Hitomi ran to her, ignoring the beast.
"Andra, are you okay?" She asked. The Huntress did not reply, she continued to scream, blood slowly pouring out her side. Suddenly, a blinding rage filled Hitomi. Her eyes turned a vicious red.
"Hitomi! Look out!" Leifang cried. The beast pounced on her, attacking with her long claws, but Hitomi, in a flash, ducked. Letting out a battle cry, she attacked the beast, and slashed it with the small wakizashi. The beast cried out in pain, but held firm, slashing Hitomi in all ways, suddenly going insane. The German was quick, dodging its attacks and the more the beast became disfigured, the more her sword became longer, thicker, and adorned with jewels. Angered, the mutant-like beast did a very strange thing. It wrapped its arms around its knees, then slowly, to Hitomi's displeasure and horror, cloned itself.
"Cret." She cursed, surrounded by them. They all gave a deafening cry and pounced on Hitomi simultaneously. It was so quick, so horrendously quick, that everyone's heart stopped beating at once. The feeling of dread and numbness came back to Hayate, full force. He had lost her again, and he didn't do anything. He watched her die. No.
"NO!" He cried, running as fast as the wind to attack the beasts, but froze dead in his tracks when he saw it. A light, bright and white lightening everything. The beasts were roughly pushed away from Hitomi.
Well, what actually looked like her.
The woman in front of Hayate was covered in flames. White flames, framing her figure and surrounding her hands. Her eyes were completely white, she held no irises whatsoever. She wasn't wearing her green jacket and jeans, but a silky, white gown, itself glowing, with a golden belt around her hips, and her feet were completely bare. Her hair was long, very long and flowing around her, unclad of her pink headband, and instead, a halo covered her head. Most importantly, she had wings. The feathers shimmering like stars, brighter than them. In her right hand, she held a sword, beautifully crafted with what appeared to be rare stones. Two dragons had their tails tangled, which formed the base of the sword, and the blade itself held Latin words. She lifted herself in the air with just a flap of her wings.
Oh Lord.
The sight of her was so beautiful. It almost made Leifang cry. Right now, they weren't looking at Hitomi, the German Karate Master who came second in the fifth Dead Or Alive tournament. They were looking at the Electus. The Savior of the Universe. The Chosen One. The one that will destroy the Dark Demon Prince, who will thrive and bring peace to the dimensions again. All eyes were on her. The beasts were cowering, one by one, but when Hitomi made eye-contact with them, they knew it wouldn't be good.
Lifting her sword in the air, Hitomi looked up to the sky, thunder clapping and lightning hitting the sword. After a minute, she pointed it to the beasts, who screamed in fear as the thunder burned them. They screamed and hollered until they were just ashes. Pausing, she turned back to her friends, her expression grim. Even by winning the challenge, she did not feel proud. Killing was not something she liked to do. In fact, she didn't do it at all. With a few flaps of her wings, her toes gently kissed the floor. She walked towards them, ignoring her transformation, and stared at them blankly. They all stared back, not knowing what to say. Leifang cleared her throat.
"Hitomi..." She muttered. Just the sound of her name being called, is what triggered her emotions. Hitomi burst into tears, sobs making their way out of her mouth. Eliot wrapped his arms securely around her, patting her lower back. This action sent Ayane clenching her jaw, but she bit her tongue, and dared not to say a thing. This wasn't the moment for these confusing feelings towards him. Right now, that didn't matter. Hitomi clung to Eliot for dear life, crying and crying, her eyes still bright white. She pulled away from him, tears still falling down her cheeks.
"I killed them...I...I'm a murderer..." She whispered to him, then hid her head in his chest, her sobs echoing in the room. Her shocking words brought an unexplainable anger from Hayate, who stomped his way towards her.

"You are not my brother," Kai stated coldly, "you were never my brother, and you will never be my brother. Just because mother found you dirty on the streets never meant that you were my brother." He finished, glaring at him. Shade smirked slyly, walking over him, until he was just inches from his face.
"Mother always called me her son. So, really, I don't know what you're saying, brother," Kai growled at his words, while Shade looked down on the girl's pale face, "well, well. What do we have here? Fresh, human flesh? Didn't have this in a while," He licked his lips, touching her face. Kai drew out his sword, pointing it to Shade.
"Get your dirty incubus hands off her, you fucking bastard." He said icily. Shade frowned.
"Just because I'm an incubus, doesn't mean I'm dirty. I mean, if you think about it, you're dirtier than me. Killing all those ladies." He said, his eyes roaming over the girl's still, but curvy body, "hey, I can have her if ya want, ya know, have some fun with her?" Shade said, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.
Kai sneered at him in disgust, "your kind is truly repulsive." He said, grimacing. The incubus shrugged.
"That's what Dad said. Well, before you killed him." He replied. Kai growled dangerously, sending a slight shiver to Shade's spine, although, he fought to keep a straight face. Shade sighed, picked the girl up, and turned around, walking towards the doors. He paused, looking back at the Demon Prince.
"Wel, I'm off. See ya later, brother." He snickered, and left before Kai could lunge at him.

Kokoro woke up, drenched in cold sweat. What a horrible nightmare, she thought, no more marshmellows before bed. She stood and rubbed her eyes, adjusting to the light of her room. She scratched her back, only to touch the cotton fabric of her school shirt.
What?
She did not remember sleeping in her school uniform, with her shoes on. Her mother wouldn't be happy. She hastily removed them and looked around, letting out a gasp. This wasn't her room. The walls were blood red, not light orange, like her room walls. She looked at the bed, she'd been sleeping in black sheets? This was definitely not her room. A small shudder of fear went through her. Was her dream real?
The door creaking open interrupted her. Her gray eyes went wide as she watched a man with dark green hair, dark blue eyes and a black coat entered the room. She slowly backed away from him leaning against the bed as he watched her. He wasn't normal. She could sense it, and yet, her body felt attracted to him. She bit her lower lip and played with the charm on her strand of hair before blurting out;
"Wh-who are you?"
The man smirked, "who are you?"
Kokoro scowled, "I asked first." She said.
The man's smirk grew wider, "I asked second."
She huffed, "Who the heck are you?!"
"Fine, fine," he said, rolling his mystically blue eyes, "the name's Shade. Now, who are you?"
"Why am I here?" Kokoro asked, ignoring his question.
"Hey, you asked me a question and I answered, now it's your-..." He started but she cut him off.
"WHY THE HECK AM I HERE?!" She roared out. Shade frowned.
"How should I know? I wasn't the one who brought you here. I mean, I brought you to my humble home, but my brother brought you here." He responded. Kokoro sensed something wrong. She felt that this man did not tell her everything.
"Who's your brother?" She asked, dumbly. Shade clenched his jaw, looked away, then looked back at her, frowning.
"You should be afraid. I mean, you are in Daemonum. The Lands of Demons, for demons. Get a Hell of a holidays around here!" He joked. Kokoro did not laugh. In fact, her body had completely frozen.
"What?" She asked, faintly.
Shade glared at her, "devil cheeks, you're in a Land full of ugly, stinky, hungry demons. You're human. You know, demons love human flesh. But they mostly love their blood." He took a step towards her.
Kokoro slowly backed away in fear. The look in his eyes was not anger, like a criminal's would be; it was full of lust. Madness. Hunger. Want. And it was directed towards her. She backed away more, fell off the bed and backed against the wall. She was trapped. Shade moved towards her like a feline ready to catch its prey. He licked his rosy lips, just millimeters from her face. She gulped, smelling him. God, he smelled good. She found disgust in herself, when she realised that she wanted him close. Very close.
"So your name is Kokoro? It does mean ,'Heart.' In Japanese, right? A gorgeous name for a gorgeous girl. God, I'm going to have fun with you." He growled, licking the side of her face. Kokoro had to stifle a moan.
"You shouldn't be here, sweet Kokoro," He licked her jaw, eliciting a gasp from her, "girls shouldn't be in Daemonum. Those demons can kill you. Especially Incubi." She let out a small mewl of approval when he bit her earlobe, he then whispered, "and guess what? I'm an incubus."
She didn't have the time to scream when Shade pressed his lips to hers, slowly sucking the life out of her.
A/N: a lot of you asked that Kokoro should have telepathy or healing powers. I'm sorry, dear readers, but no! Those spots have been occupied by characters that you love! You'll have to guess who they are!
Question: well, you have to guess who will have the telepathy and healing powers! No, it will neither be Hitomi, nor Andra or Kokoro. So you have a long list to go through. A chapter will be created for you if you get them correctly.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO KOKORO? WILL AYANE UNDERSTAND HER FEELINGS? WHAT WILL HAYATE TELL HITOMI? WHAT DID YOU THINK OF HER TRANSFORMATION? GOOD? BAD? KEEP REVIEWING.
Don't forget to R&R!:)
