Ch. 21 Hidden Power
One Month Later
A month has passed since Chisana-ichi had been named heir to Midoriichi's throne. A fact that hadn't sit well with Midoriko. Over the course of the month Midoriko has tried to get her mother to change her mind, but it was made up, and Midoriichi forbade her from bringing the topic up again. Midoriko was at a loss, her whole life she dedicated to becoming the leader of the Tori clan, and now that it was taken from her she didn't know what to do with her life. So she turned to the only person she could trust, Moniku.
"I don't know what to do anymore, Moniku." Midoriko said as her head rested in the demon's lap.
Moniku ran her fingers through Midoriko's long hair as they sat in front of a lake. Both watching the ducks swim along and go about their business. "Hmm seems like all you need is a new directive in life." Moniku told her.
"New directive, what do you mean?" Midoriko asked her mate.
Moniku chuckled a bit as she looked out over to the lake, the sun's rays reflecting off of it. "Have you ever considered, I don't know settling down and having children?" The older demon asked.
Midoriko blushed. "Are you asking me to bear you a child, Moniku?" Midoriko asked.
Moniku herself began to blush. "As you know I cannot bear children, as I am infertile. However you can." Moniku said.
"Then how do you expect me to have your children? Matter of fact why are we even having this conversation?" Midoriko questioned.
"Well first off I'll just do to you what Midoriichi did to Kimiko. As for the reason, because you're my mate now. It's only natural that I would want to breed." Moniku answered.
Midoriko sat up. "Now I'm curious. What do you mean like my mothers did?" She asked Moniku.
"Well under normal circumstances two women aren't allowed to breed." Moniku started to explain. "However we demons have found a way to get past that feeble limitation. All it takes is some demonic aura fused with our very essence, the things in inside us that gives of life, and we fuse that into the womb of another woman, be it human or demon and there you go, new life." Moniku said.
Midoriko took that all in, she had always wondered how her moms were able to conceive and have children. "So you're saying all you would have to do is, take a part of you and place it into me while we're…"
"Having sex, yes." Moniku said finishing the girl's statement. "Of course, that will be for later on down the line. Once your training is complete, and order has been brought to these lands." Moniku told her.
Midoriko then pounced ontop of Moniku, pinning her down in the grass. "Good, because I'm only twenty and I think I can wait a century before even having said child. However, I can still think of some things I rather do right now." She said with a sly grin as she began kissing Moniku.
Moniku kissed her back, returning the kiss in full, but after a minute she stopped the kiss.
"Aw, why'd you stop, I was enjoying myself?" The younger demon asked.
"As was I, but we have to finish your training. Your control of your demonic aura is almost complete."
Midoriko sat up, as she covered her hand in demonic aura, and was able to turn it black of her own free will. It only would do so at random spontaneous moments at first. Now she had a limited portion of her true power under her control, and of course she wanted more.
"I still can't master the full power that comes with transforming into a full demon." Midoriko said.
"Don't trouble yourself Midoriko. As a matter of fact I have a challenge for you, that should bring you a step closer to what you desire." Moniku told her as she sat up. Midoriko removed herself, so Moniku could stand up fully.

Not too far away was Chisana-ichi. She had been carefully following Midoriko's aura. Midoriko had become well adept in scattering her demonic aura, as to not be followed. However aura was Chisana-ichi's specialty and Midoriko would need to work harder if she wanted to throw her younger sister off her trail.
Chisana-ichi wanted to reconcile with Midoriko. Ever since she had been named successor, she's had little time to spend with her older sibling and they grew distant because of that. She wanted to rekindle the relationship they had before all of this started. She wanted her sister back.
She was able to stay on the trail Midoriko had taken a while back and began searching around as the trail started to grow cold. She found the direction in which her sister had traveled and walked ahead. In the distance she could see a lake, and as she got closer she could see her sister. She also noticed that there was someone else there with Midoriko. Both women were standing and conversing, she got closer and took shelter behind a brush to listen further.
"Now listen closely Midoriko. This task is not to be taken lightly. There is a beast that you must slay." Moniku spoke.
"A beast what kind of beast?" She asked.
"A serpent. His name is Kui The Devourer. He prevents demons from the smaller clans that seek shelter from the Tori and Neko from escaping to safer areas. All who cross his marsh has never returned." Moniku explained.
"And you think I can take him?" Midoriko asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Months ago, no. However as you are now, you are more than a match for him." Moniku told her.
"I don't know Moniku, sounds pretty outlandish." Midoriko responded.
"What? Is the great Midoriko Tori backing down from a challenge?" She asked her apprentice.
Chisana-ichi's eyes went wide. The woman she was talking to was Moniku. The woman's full name was Moniku Utsukushi, and she had been conversing and training with her for months. Midoriko knew how dangerous she was, Midoriko knew that Moniku was looking for them, so why was she talking with her?
'Midoriko didn't- She couldn't have sided with.' Chisana-ichi said shaking the thoughts from her head.
However before she could take any further action Moniku sensed her presence. Taking a rock, she threw it into the bush. "Come on out, I know you're there." The demon spoke.
Chisana-ichi emerged from the brush, glaring at Moniku.
"Ichi? How long have you been there?" She asked.
"Long enough, to know that you've been palling around with our enemy." She said pointing at the demon.
Midoriko stepped in front, putting herself in between Moniku and her younger sister. "Yeah so?"
"Midoriko you do know who she is don't you?" Chisana-ichi asked. "Dark skin, elegant attire, and a scar across her left eye. The very scar mother gave her."
"I know who she is." Midoriko said cutting her off.
"Then why are you here conversing with her. Midoriko don't you know this is the very woman who tried to kidnap us when we were young. The very woman who tried to kill our mothers and friends?" She asked.
"I know full well." Midoriko answered she said keeping her eyes on her sister.
"Then why Midoriko? Why are you here?" She continued to ask.
"Power. She promised me power, and in return I have become her apprentice." Midoriko answered.
"Power? What is it with you and your obsession with power. You would lower yourself to becoming this hangyaku no deshi (traitor's apprentice) to obtain it?" She asked earning a glare from Moniku.
"Why don't you just go home Ichi. I'm sure mother has special lessons for you and what not, since you're her heir now." She said waving her younger sibling off.
"Is that what's this about? Because you were not chosen? Jealousy does not become you sister." Chisana-ichi said.
"Just shut up. Go away and leave me alone." Midoriko said.
"No, I'm taking you back home now sister." She told Midoriko.
"You're going to have to make me." Midoriko said as she entered a fighting stance.
Chisana-ichi did as well, and both sisters began to flare their demonic auras. However Moniku stepped in.
"Enough. Midoriko, you know how I feel about unnecessary fighting between family." Moniku told her.
"Don't tell me you agree with her?" Midoriko asked.
"Actually the thought in my mind is saying that the combined power of both of you shall be enough to stop Kui. With Kui gone, smaller clans can have safe passage." She told them both.
"There's no way I'm going along with any agenda you have planned majo!(witch)" Chisana-ichi said.
"Suit yourself." Midoriko said as she walked off into the woods in search of Kui The Devourer.
Chisana-ichi couldn't believe what was going on. Her sister was willing obeying Moniku. No doubt she was heading into a trap. So she followed behind her younger sister, both disappearing from Moniku's sight.
Not too long after that Komori and Bo'A showed up.
"You sure it's a good idea, to let her fight Kui?" Bo'A asked.
"Positive." Moniku said.
"But now that the younger brat has caught wind of your plans she's sure to tell Midoriichi, you know that?" Komori asked.
"Actually that's what I'm counting on." Moniku said with a dark smile. "Now come on, we have to go and prepare ourselves." She said.

Thirty Minutes later
The two siblings had entered into a marshy swamp. The fog here was so thick it was tough for demon's eyes to see through it. Midoriko and Chisana-ichi said nothing to each other. Having spoken their minds earlier in front of Moniku. Midoriko stopped when she was able to make out a lake. This lake had bones of large creatures sticking out of it, and the area smelled like death. No doubt this is where Kui lived.
It wasn't long before they heard rumbling coming from the below the surface of the lake. "He's coming." Midoriko said making Chisana-ichi turn and look at the lake.
Not long afterward a long serpentine body emerged from the lake. Several more coils of the creatures dark scaled body emerged as well, before the head surfaced. The creature shot forth from the lake, creating a miniature rainfall. His red eyes locked onto the girls and he growled deeply.
"Are you the one they call Kui?" Midoriko called out.
"Who wants to know?" The serpent responded.
"You're executioner." Midoriko responded.
Chisana-ichi stood there wide eyed; the amount of evil that was pouring off of the creature was suffocating. There was no way they would be a match for this beast.
"Midoriko we- we have to run. Seriously we should go or he'll kill us." She said.
"Run if you want I'm staying. There is no way I'm going to let an evil being like Kui continue to exist in this world." She told her younger sister.
"Big words for such a tiny brat. A half breed at that." Kui laughed.
"Yeah? Why don't you come down here and say that!" Midoriko challenged.
Answering her challenge Kui, attacked immediately. Both girls jumped out of the way avoiding the serpent's jaws. Midoriko retaliated by covering her fists in green demonic aura and delivered a kick to Kui's face.
He roared at her both she only kept coming. She swiped at whatever available body part she could reach, but she couldn't penetrate his hide. It was Kui's turn to attack and he opened his mouth and shot a barrage of ice out. Chisana-ichi tackled Midoriko to the ground, moving her out of harm's way.
"Will you stop interfering, this is my fight." Midoriko said pushing her sister off of her, and jumping back into battle.
"A little thank you, would be nice." She mumbled.
She then watched as Midoriko was knocked away by Kui. Seeing that it was too late to run she jumped into battle, her fists covered in white demonic aura.
"A white aura? I have never seen such a thing. What manner of beast are you?" He asked her.
"The last you'll ever see." She said, and rushed forward.
She tried cutting open Kui's neck but failed to do so, for the same reason Midoriko couldn't. 'His scales are too thick. I'm getting nowhere.' She thought.
She looked back to see Midoriko coming back up. "Midoriko we need to use our combination attack." She told her older sibling.
"Forget it. You're the heir, you shouldn't need my help." Midoriko said as she changed her demonic aura from green to black.
"Midoriko!" Chisana-ichi called out as she began to attack the beast over and over.
Kui laughed at Midoriko's attempts to hurt him. He responded by swatting Midoriko with his tail. "Pesky fly." He said.
He charged his ice breath. Seeing this Chisana-ichi quickly made another hammer made out of the earth and leapt up into the air. She swung the hammer with all her might and struck Kui in his jaw. The impact was strong enough to knock his head to the right a bit, sending his ice breath off course.
Growling he grabbed Chisana-ichi out of the air, wrapping his tail around her. "Suru hagaki!(you brat)" he said. "That actually stung a bit." He told her.
"Oh yeah? How about this?" She asked and hit him in the eyes with her razor sharp feathers from her shoulders.
Kui roared out as he had been temporarily blinded. He shook his head violently as he released her and dove back into the water.
Chisana-ichi landed back on the ground to catch her breath. 'That was too close.' She thought to herself.
She looked over to see Midoriko watching her. "Seriously Midoriko, give me a hand." She told her.
Midoriko just shook her head. "Nope, I want to see the power that love brings to the table. I want to see if you can somehow convince Kui to turn over a new leaf." Midoriko said as she crossed her arms over her chest.
Chisana-ichi looked at Midoriko. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. She was refusing to help her. Midoriko knew that they didn't stand a chance on their own, and yet she was willing to let her younger sibling fight alone against a superior opponent.
They both looked back up as Kui resurfaced, growling menacingly. His sight now restored he glared at the two Tori girls.
"I don't know why you're glaring at me. She did it." Midoriko said nonchalantly.
Kui roared, his roared sounded like thunder as it pierced the heavens. Smiling she pushed Chisana-ichi back into the battle. "Go get 'em Ichi." She said.
Chisana-ichi looked back at her sibling, but before she could speak, Kui attacked again. She was able to dodge it, and she bounced back and struck Kui across the face. Seeing it had no effect she opted for using her hammer again. As soon as she finished creating it, Kui shot his ice breath at her.
Diving out of the way she rolled on to her back. She was already out of breath, but seeing how her sister wasn't going to offer any help she decided to face him. She ran up to him dodging his ice breath, and jumped into the air.
"Chikyu Keishiki: Jidai no hitto! (Earth Style: Two great hits)" Chisana-ichi said as she delivered two powerful blows onto Kui.
The first hit came from underneath, hitting the serpent in his lower jaw. Once again the force was great enough to move the serpents head upward. The second came with a downward motion and was able to knock Kui back into the lake.
The impact created a huge splash sending water onto the land. Chisana-ichi landed, panting heavily.
"How's that….for love?" She asked.
Midoriko was shocked. In only two hits she toppled the mighty beast. 'Impossible.' Midoriko thought.
There should be no way that Chisana-ichi was this strong, after all Moniku had saw to that.
"That attack wasn't strong enough to put him down for good, I say we get out of here." Chisana-ichi said still panting.
Midoriko decided that she was right, there was no way she was a match for the serpent, not now anyway. She nodded and they began to walk away from the area. However all was not good, as Chisana-ichi let out a scream. Midoriko turned to see that she had been gripped by Kui's tail, and she saw the serpent himself rise out of the water.
"Not bad pipsqueak, not bad. However you're luck ends here today!" He said and began to squeeze tightly.
Chisana-ichi screamed out as she could feel the tremendous strain on her body being applied. Midoriko watched wide eyed as her sister was being crushed before her very eyes.
"Ichi!" She called out.
"Midoriko! Help me!" He yelled.
Midoriko rushed Kui, her hands covered in the black aura and attacked him as ferociously as she could. Kui laughed as he continued to crush Chisana-ichi .
'Damnit!' Midoriko mentally cursed herself. She couldn't pierce his body, she wasn't strong enough.
'I need more power, if I just had more power….' She kept thinking as she punched and pounded at the scales harder.
Kui growing tired of her presence swept the girl away with a tide of water. He continued his torture of Chisna-ichi.
"What's the matter? Where's all that strength at now?" he asked.
He applied more pressure, breaking Chisana-ichi's left arm. She screamed out from the pain.
"Oh, you're a resilient one. I was hoping to break you in two right then." He then Looked to see Midoriko emerge from the lake, as she began coughing up the water.
"Hey kid, if you don't do something soon, your sister's going to die." He laughed.
Helpless Midoriko could do nothing. She had to dodge Kui's Ice breath everytime she got close, the only thing she could do was listen to her sister's helpless cries. Panting, and growing tired her movements became more sluggish. She then knocked off balance by the mighty serpent.
She slowly rose to her feet, and that's when she heard it. The sickening crunch of bones being broken. She looked up as her younger sister ceased her cries. "Ichi?" She called out.
"Oops, looks like I applied a little too much pressure." He said.
He released Chisana-ichi's body with a laugh and Midoriko watched as she hit the dirt. Kui wasn't done, he raised his tail preparing to crush the girl, when Midoriko appeared and huddled over her sister and took the blows.
"Still got some fight left eh? Fine with me!" he said and began to thrash Midoriko with his tail.
Midoriko looked at her younger sister. She wasn't moving and she began to panic. 'This is my entire fault. I let things get this way. I let things get out of only I was stronger…if only I had the power..' She subconsciously blamed herself. 'If only I had the power, then you would still be.'
Tears formed up in Midoriko's eyes as she was helpless to do anything. 'I'm still so weak, how could I lead the clan if I can't save my own sister? How can I do anything? All I need is….power.' She thought.
"M-Midoriko….." Chisana-ichi said weakly, making Midoriko's eyes go wide.
That's when it happened. Midoriko began to feel a great surge of power. Kui felt it too, and decided he had played enough for today. He was going to crush them both, when Midoriko caught his tail, and threw it off to the side.
Kui looked on in shock as he noticed something about Midoriko, her scent was changing, and her dark green eyes turned darker. Her claws and fangs extended and the sclera in her eyes turned completely black. Her already blackened feathers seemed to grow blacker, as she became covered in a complete and total black aura.
Moniku could feel it from where she was and smiled. "That's it Midoriko, that's the way. Let it all go." She said.
Kui looked on as the girl seemed to take on an all new form. He was suddenly pushed back as her aura exploded with power and she let out a powerful roar.
Kui wasn't too worried, she was a half-demon after all. "So you think you can take me now. Tell me girl, do you really want to fight me after what I've done to your sister?" Kui asked.
"No." She responded shaking her head. "I want to kill you." Was her answer.

Tori Mountains
Midoriichi was overlooking the area from her mountain home when she noticed an odd coloration in the sky to the south. It was black and foreboding. She was suddenly hit with a powerful gust from nowhere, which nearly blew her off her feet.
Sensing the same power, Kimiko, Akai and her brothers rushed to Midoriichi's side.
"What was that!" Murasaki asked.
"Midoriko." Midoriichi answered.
They then rushed to her location as she knew things had already made a turn for the worst.

"Kill me? Ok kid let's see you try." Kui told her.
Midoriko smiled. "Ok." She lunged forward as Kui brought her tail around, and Midoriko cut through it with her right hand.
Kui roared out in pain as blood gushed from his severed limb. Midoriko wasn't done she quckly gripped the tail, and smashed it across his head, knocking the serpent against the ground. She landed not too far from him and smirked.
She looked over to see her sister and her smile faded. She looked back to the serpent and walked towards him.
Wide eyed and stricken with fear Kui rose quickly and shot his ice breath at her. She merely side stepped his barrage.
"Stay back, you hear me. Stay back!" he told her, but she kept up her advances.
"Yameru!(Stop)" He roared as he fired his ice breath again.
That's what she wanted. Lunging forth she barreled through the ice with her claws and made her way to Kui. Upon reaching him she spilt his head and neck down the middle, killing the serpent. The trail of her demonic aura, began to cut up the rest of his body, making it temporarily rain blood.
She landed to watch his mangled corpse sink below the surface of the lake. Midoriko had the power she long sought, but it came at a heavy price. She tried to make her way to Chisana-ichi but her body gave out from exhaustion. The last thing Midoriko saw was her family arriving on the scene.

Midoriko awoke in her room; she looked around to see that she was alone. She then began to recall certain events, she sat up quickly. "Ichi!"
She remembered now, her sister was in critical condition. She stumbled as she got to her feet but she was able to make out of her room. She rounded the corner and began to search for somebody and that's when she heard Midoriichi and Akai talking.
"Are you happy now Midoriichi? Look at what your carelessness has wrought. Midoriko is full demon now, but what of Chisna-ichi? What do you have to say for yourself." Akai asked her daughter.
"I failed them as a mother. I thought I was doing what was best for them. Ichi is seriously hurt, she has multiple broken bones, and Midoriko." Midoriichi let out a sigh.
Things made a turn for the worst. Though Chisana-ichi was hurt badly, she was assured by Kimiko and Jodan who were still tending to her wounds, that she would be ok. She would pull through. When Chisana-ichi was well enough to speak, she told her that Midoriko had been spending her time training under Moniku. Now that she had become full demon she could see why.
No doubt this was set up by Moniku to get her to transform, Midoriko's power was too great and if left unchecked, she could become a great danger to everyone.
Midoriichi sighed again. "You were right mother. This all could have been avoided if I had listened to you. Later on tonight, when Kimiko and Jodan are done with Ichi and while Midoriko is still asleep. I will have them seal away Midoriko's demonic power." She told her mother.
"No!" Midoriko shouted, making her mother and grandmother turn to face her.
