Chapter XV
Welcome everyone! Not sure why I went with that for a lead-in but there you go. Sorry for the long wait for this newest chapter, I have had some other projects burning in my brain along with some pretty horrible things IRL happening but I am hoping to get back to a more regular release of chapters, though not necessarily in the same order as before. Anyway, as usual I would like to thank my coauthors Bakuto Masaki and seeker of true anime fan fic for their help on this story as well as TheLastNanaya, the Bob of my writing group. I do not think there is anything else to add so on to reviewer responses.
Chayner: They certainly did. Yes, an ass-kicking along with a few other things I am sure most people did not expect. No, no connection to Bee. If you do not know who she is look up Homura from Senran Kagura. No, not necessarily. I cannot go into too much detail without spoilers but put simply the Curse Mark is not how he picks his hosts. The same as Sasuke's? That is not what I did. If it sounded similar sorry but I did not base it on his Level Two form.
Yes, she most certainly did meet Inuyasha and the others. Yep, Inuyasha's gang is partially responsible for her cheerier personality. Effectively I changed it for my story, but then again did not. It is possible that anyone with the Mangekyo could gain Kamui, it is insanely rare but rare does not equate to impossible. Well he is rather eager, for various reasons. A) he gets to help a pretty girl, B) said girl will just be snacking on him without randomly attacking other people, and C) if you have watched Black Blood Brothers you would know there is a certain...effect having one's blood sucked causes. It is. Cool, hope you like how it pans out.
Well, it seems that is it for the reviewer responses, so on to the chapter itself.
"Something good's going to happen, nya?"
Wait...Kuroka...? And...wait...why are you dragging Koneko behind you? Wait...why is Koneko with you!?
"I found out the truth..."
Th-this is...the script for the show...how did you...you know what, nevermind. A-anyway...to what do I owe the...pleasure of your appearance?
"Well I've never been here so I decided to check it out, nya."
"Dragged into this by Big Sister."
I see...well...that answers that question I suppose. How about another? What do you two think of Kazuma?
"Hmm...well he's fun to be around when he's not all grumpy, nya."
Sounds about right. How about you Koneko?
"I like his desserts."
Right...shoulda seen that one coming. Well with that said, it's time for the-
"Wait."
What?
"I want sweets now."
Uhm...okay put down the bookcase and you can have some. On with the chapter I suppose.
WARNING! This chapter contains a lemon. I will mark when the lemon begins and ends.
UPDATE: I am sad to report that for various reasons seeker of true anime fan fic will no longer be part of our writing group. I enjoyed what time he helped us and it will be disappointing to see him leave.
Kazuma, Arcueid, and Ciel stood opposite Roa as their battle began.
Roa stood up from being kicked into the wall by Arcueid and snarled in annoyance. "So all three of you are finally here, how quaint."
Arcueid stretched her neck and asked Kazuma with a smirk, "I'm not late am I?"
Kazuma shook his head as he held his sword and lance to fight. "Not at all. The party's just getting started."
Roa sneered in annoyance. "I wouldn't get so cozy if I were you. Now that all three of you are here at once…I'll eliminate all of you!" He then swept his hands to his sides, sending a series of kunai flying as he did.
Kazuma swept his sword in front of him, sending a burst of wind that knocked the kunai out of the sky as Arcueid and Ciel ran out to the sides and tried to flank Roa.
Roa smirked and clapped his hands together before slamming them into the ground.
Kazuma's eyes narrowed as the ground began to warp, spikes and tendrils forming from the pavement and lashing out at Arcueid and Ciel. "What the heck?"
Ciel flinched and then tossed her Black Keys forward, smashing the stone tendrils.
Kazuma dashed forward and swept his katana forwards, sending a flurry of wind blades that destroyed the warped stone for good.
Arcueid attempted to get a high kick at Roa but he jumped up in the air before she could reach him. "Damn."
Roa swung his hands forward and sent multiple kunai down before disappearing in a burst of smoke.
Kazuma swung his sword towards the kunai, sending a blast of wind to knock them away.
The Boosted Gear shouted as Kazuma's power once again increased. "Alright, time to get things kicked up a notch. Susano'o!" Almost immediately Kazuma's body was encased in flaring, black, flame-like energy. Seconds later the right half of an ethereal, black ribcage formed from an ethereal spinal column floating behind Kazuma.
Roa narrowed his eyes in annoyance. "Damn, how I regret not grabbing those eyes when I had the chance." He then clapped his hands together and slammed them on the ground.
Almost instantly the ground below the others' feet crumbled away to dust.
"Tch!" Kazuma snarled as he sent gusts of wind to prevent Ciel and Arcueid from falling.
Roa rushed forward and swung his sword from the side at Kazuma.
Kazuma swung his katana up, causing Roa's sword to glance off before thrusting at him with his lance.
Roa jumped back and immediately bent backwards impossibly as Arcueid swung a high kick aimed at where his head was. Roa grinned maliciously as he grabbed Arcueid's ankle and swung her around, slamming her into a nearby wall.
Kazuma came up behind him and attempted to skewer Roa from behind but the crazed man spun around and ducked down swiftly enough to dodge the blow and sweep his sword at one of Kazuma's legs, hacking it off at the ankle. "Gagh!" Kazuma shouted in pain as Roa jumped back to gain distance.
"Kazuma!" Ciel called as she saw his severed foot.
Kazuma hissed in annoyance. "Tch, this won't stop me." To Ciel's shock Kazuma grabbed his severed foot and planted his wounded leg on it, hissing in pain before shaking his leg somewhat, the foot fully reattached.
Roa raised his sword defensively. "Hmm…your combat capabilities have degraded somewhat, Abraxas. But it seems that accursed healing factor of yours is still fully intact."
Kazuma smirked in response. "It wouldn't be any fun that way, don't you think?"
Roa was about to respond when the ground behind him burst, Arcueid jumping up from behind him and slamming backhanding a fist into his head, sending him crashing into and through several walls.
Arcueid sighed as she stood up straight and flared her hair out lightly. "That's for slamming me into a wall."
Kazuma's gauntlets Boosted once more as the ribcage floating around him formed its other side, giving him a full, ethereal ribcage.
Ciel stepped forward, readying her Black Keys, as Roa stood up from the rubble Arcueid tossed him at.
"Hmph, you all are greatly aggravating me. I believe it's time to stop playing around." Roa thrust his hands forward and several magic circles appeared around him, causing blasts of lightning to fire from them at the group.
Ciel and Arcueid dashed to the side, but Kazuma merely stood in place with a smirk as the lightning approached, before swallowing the attack whole.
Roa snarled angrily. "This is new. How frustrating." He then jumped away as Arcueid landed and attempted to kick him.
Ciel rushed at him and swung her Black Keys towards him.
Roa blocked her first blow and bent in an impossible way to avoid the second.
Kazuma came up from the left flank and thrust his spear at Roa.
Kazuma's spear stabbed straight through Roa's midsection but the vampire escaped by bursting from his own mouth.
"Damn, that always creeps me out," Kazuma remarked.
Roa attempted to prepare another attack against the group but Arcueid came from above and axe-kicked him into the ground.
Kazuma swung his sword forward and shouted, "Demon Fang!" as a streak of blue energy shot from it, sending Roa slamming into another wall. Kazuma hissed in annoyance as the Roa he hit melted into liquid mud. "Damn, slippery bastard."
Roa stood up nearby and groaned in frustration before reaching into his pocket. "Can't believe I need to use that brat's magic." He pulled a glowing, black and orange snake from his pocket.
Arcueid's eyes widened. "Kazuma, don't let him ingest that snake!"
Kazuma nodded and prepared to rush forward but it was too late as Roa gulped down the glowing snake.
Roa sighed in relief before chortling. "Kukuku, now, I'll be able to defeat all three of you…"
"Yeah, we'll see about that, fat bastard."
Roa sneered angrily before grinning and clapping his hands together. "With the increased power I have now, I can finally attain…Sage Mode!" His eyes turned golden yellow with slitted pupils as purple markings resembling fangs appeared on his eyelids, reaching down his nose somewhat. Roa chuckled once more and then rushed forward.
Kazuma snarled and did the same, his blade clashing with Roa's. "Tch, you're power's definitely gone up…"
"Yes, and now I'll use it to crush you!" Roa flicked a kunai into his free hand and attempted to stab Kazuma, but was thrown back when a giant fist slammed into him.
"Well, looks like the right arm of my Susano'o has formed," Kazuma remarked as he stood inside the ribcage of his Susano'o, a skeletal right arm having formed from it.
Roa snarled angrily and jumped in the air, going through several handsigns before shouting, "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Multiple copies of Roa burst into being and lunged down at Kazuma.
Kazuma just sighed as the right arm of his Susano'o raised up, aiming the hand skyward before a torrent of flames shot out.
As the flames cleared Roa fell to the ground.
Back at Kazuma's apartment, Kazehana and Medea sat concerned.
"I don't understand why we're just sitting here!" Hibiki exclaimed.
"He hasn't made an attempt to summon me yet," Medea answered. "As such we won't make a move until then."
The rowdier twin grumbled angrily before sighing in defeat.
"Even so," Sheele interrupted, "It wouldn't be right for us to just leave him on his own like that."
"Last I checked, isn't he with Arcueid?" Presa asked as her tail waved about.
Medea sighed in resignation. "If you're all that worried, I can probably find him with my long-range observation magic."
The others nodded emphatically.
"R-right…"
After a few moments, a small magic circle was floating in front of Medea, with an area in the middle that showed a section of the city.
"I didn't know that magic could do stuff like that," Kazehana remarked.
"It can do many things, more than I'm sure you could imagine," Presa added.
"Ah," Medea interjected, "I've found them."
Roa's body melted once more after Kazum's attack.
"You've gotta be kidding me," Kazuma grumbled. "Volt, Celsius, help me pin this bastard down!"
In a flash of light, Volt and Celsius appeared beside Kazuma.
Celsius looked around and saw Roa on a wall. "As you command, Master." She flung her hands forward and sent ice spikes flying at him.
Roa dashed immediately before they hit him.
Volt narrowed his eyes as Roa landed in front of him. "Bzzt bzzt bzzzzt, bzzt." A bolt of lightning struck the ground where Roa stood, but a chunk of charred concrete had taken his place.
"Tch," Kazuma hissed, Celsius and Volt spreading out to attack.
Roa slammed against a wall as Volt appeared in a burst of lightning with a bolt ready to throw.
Though as he threw it Roa vanished, jumping onto another wall, only for Kazuma's Susano'o to slam its fist against the wall.
The Roa that was hit melted into mud as Roa himself appeared elsewhere safely, the blade of his sword extended swiftly towards Kazuma, but was hit by a spire of ice from below, knocking it away from its target.
Ciel came up behind Roa and sliced his midsection, but Roa managed to regurgitate himself in time to dodge.
He smirked as he landed before wincing in pain and looking at his ankle, which was bleeding from a deep cut.
Ciel smirked proudly. "You forget, my Black Keys cut your essence, not just your body."
"Tch, bitch," Roa snarled but widened his eyes as Kazuma appeared in a sudden burst right next to him.
Roa didn't have time to react as the skeletal arm of Kazuma's Susano'o slammed its fist into him, sending him crashing into the ground below with such force as to cause a small crater.
Kazuma landed on the ground and sighed as he watched the left arm of his Susano'o form.
Roa stood up weakly and hissed. "Shit…I didn't catch that in time."
Kazuma raised his blade towards Roa. "You're done."
Medea narrowed her eyes as she and the others observed Kazuma's battle, swiping her hands to close the viewing circle.
"H-hey! Why'd you do that?" Hibiki demanded.
Medea stood up and turned to her. "Let's just say that he's made that attempt to summon us."
Hibiki raised an eyebrow as Medea walked over and grabbed Kon by the head.
"Hey, where we goin'?" Kon asked as Medea held onto his head.
Medea turned to Mavis. "Why don't you come as well?"
Mavis nodded as Sheele, Kuroka, Kazehana, and Erza gathered around Medea.
Medea smiled in faux apology. "Sorry girls, I can't transport any more than this."
"Hey!" the others shouted as Medea's cape flared out before shrinking in on itself and vanishing.
Kazuma raised his sword above his head and then slammed it down with force, shouting, "Fierce Demon Fang!" as he did, a purple blast of energy shooting out towards Roa.
Roa attempted to dodge out of the way but the blast was too swift and sliced his legs off.
Ciel then dove from above and impaled him with all six of her Black Keys.
"Gaaahhh!" Roa howled as he was impaled.
Kazuma raised his spear towards Roa as Celsius and Volt prepared to attack. "Good, now just leave him there and we'll finish the rest."
Ciel looked at Kazuma confused.
"Well I don't want to hit you with this. There's no guarantee that immortality of yours will remain after I kill him."
"I'll be just fine."
Kazuma snarled and raised his lance up before pulling it back and thrusting it forward. "Demon Ripper!" A conical blast of golden energy shot from the lance and barreled towards Roa's position.
Roa attempted to use his regurgitation to escape but Ciel summoned a seventh Black Key and stabbed it through the back of his mouth. "You're not going anywhere."
Roa's eyes widened as the blast slammed into both him and Ciel, causing an explosion, sending dust and stone in all directions.
Kazuma narrowed his eyes as the dust cleared.
Ciel stumbled out of the smoke as her right arm and a large chunk of her torso slowly regenerated.
Kazuma winced angrily.
Ciel sighed as she stood up straight. "You don't need to worry, I will heal. Although my slowed regeneration means you destroyed his body."
The smoke cleared, allowing everyone to see the mangled remains of Roa's host body.
Medea then appeared at that moment with Kuroka, Sheele, Kazehana, and Erza.
Kuroka looked around in surprise. "Wow, you really tore this place up, nya."
Medea ran over and prepared to give Kon to Kazuma but a kunai shot from above and pierced the stuffed toy against the ground.
"GAAHH! That hurt dammit!" Kon shouted.
Medea and Kazuma looked around before a figure landed on the ground in front of them wearing a red, hooded cloak, carrying an object wrapped in bandages.
The figure laid the object down and stood up straight with an amused chuckle. "Ahhh, how long has it been now, Abraxas?"
Kazuma's eyes widened greatly before narrowing angrily. "You gotta be kidding me."
As the figure stood up straight, it laid back its hood, revealing a young-looking man with long, ash-grey hair in an unkempt bowl-cut, onyx eyes, and fair skin wearing round, black-rimmed glasses, and a red hood obscuring most of his body. The man snickered in amusement. "Come now, you have to be a little more surprised than that."
Erza's eyes widened in surprise and confusion. "K-…Kabuto…Yakushi…? But how…?"
The man, Kabuto, turned to Erza disinterestedly. "Erza, it'd been so long I'd nearly forgotten about you. I see that you haven't changed in all this time. Though, I suppose being dead probably helps with that."
Erza snarled and encased her hand in a blast of mana and charged at Kabuto.
Acting on instinct, Kazehana did the same.
Kazuma weakly reached forward. "No! Stop!"
Kabuto's eyes suddenly shifted from onyx black to fully purple with rings. He raised a hand and flicked it forward.
A sphere of pressure encased Kazehana and Erza and suddenly compressed sharply.
"AAAHHH!" the two shrieked as they felt like they were being crushed by the attack.
After several seconds the attack let off and the two collapsed to the ground, battered and unconscious.
Kazuma clenched his fists around his weapons and grit his teeth. His two weapons then vanished as he slapped his hands together. "This isn't a good idea, but I can't just sit here after that." As the head of his Susano'o appeared with deep red eyes his Sage Mode markings appeared on his face, neck, arms, and hands. His sword and lance reappearing in his hands in a flash Kazuma lunged forward at immense speed.
Kabuto smirked and looked at Kazuma as he appeared beside him and flicked Kazuma's Susano'o in the forehead, sending him slamming into and through several walls. "Hmph, you're so much weaker now. You were barely able to beat Orochimaru."
Kazuma stood up weakly, the forehead of his Susano'o cracked.
Erza stood up weakly, her clothes lightly torn from Kabuto's attack. "This…is unbelievable. How are you so powerful?"
Kabuto smirked proudly. "Unlike you my dear I've been training almost nonstop for the past four thousand years. Of course," Kabuto paused as he pulled down his lower left eyelid, "taking Sasuke's eyes after he died didn't hurt."
Erza's eyes widened. "You bastard. You really did take Orochimaru's goal to fruition."
"Please, I don't share Orochimaru's dream, I have my own."
At that moment Medea flared up behind Kabuto.
Kabuto sighed in annoyance as Medea was sent flying away, crashing through a wall.
Kazuma growled angrily and rushed forward, swinging a Sage Mode enhanced punch with his Susano'o, but the full ribcage, both arms with extra forearms extending off the elbows, and a head with yellow eyes of Kabuto's Susano'o flared to life almost instantly, catching Kazuma's punch before clenching its fist, crushing the hand of Kazuma's Susano'o.
Kazuma's eyes widened in shock. '…Shit…'
Kabuto smirked as his Susano'o smashed its fist through the ribcage of Kazuma's Susano'o, wrenched Kazuma from within it and slammed him against a wall.
Kazuma managed to phase through the fist of Kabuto's Susano'o at the last moment and jumped up, swinging his sword down. "Demon Fang!" he shouted as a blast of blue energy shot from his sword towards Kabuto.
The blast impacted his Susano'o but merely dissipated.
Kazuma vanished again and appeared behind Kabuto, snarling as he thrust his spear forward. "Demon Ripper!" A conical blast of golden energy shot from the spear and raced towards Kabuto's Susano'o.
The secondary left hand of Kabuto's Susano'o reached behind him and the attack impacted an invisible field before being sucked into the hand and vanishing. Kabuto then turned around swiftly and sent a punch with his Susano'o's right arm, using both hands.
Kazuma dodged forward, using Kamui to allow the attack to pass through him.
Kabuto raised a hand with two extended fingers and waved them in seemingly random motion.
Almost immediately Kazuma fell to his knees. He snarled angrily as he felt his strength draining.
"Do you like my Astral Snake? It's a spell I developed based on a man named Jellal's spells. Once I plant the first seed of the spell on you, like when my Susano'o grabbed you, I only need to make the correct motions and it starts draining you chakra and feeding it to me."
Kazuma trembled lightly as he glared at Kabuto. "You son of a bitch. You've been developing this for the past thousand years, haven't you?"
"Yes. I still remember when you and that Gorgon attacked me. That barrier of hers gave me quite the idea as soon as I was able to decipher it."
Kazuma huffed as he attempted to stand.
"Don't bother." Kabuto's Susano'o slammed its fist down towards Kazuma.
Kazuma attempted to use Kamui but his eyes widened in shock when it wouldn't work, right before Kabuto's Susano'o smashed him.
"Oh, did I forget to mention it also blocks your chakra network, or, do you call them magic circuits, while it's active?"
Kazuma coughed up blood as Kabuto's Susano'o's fist lifted.
Kazehana stood up and sent a burst of wind blades flying at Kabuto.
A wall of stone rose up behind Kabuto, absorbing the blows, before it lowered as Kabuto, who had turned around, formed a crossbow on the left arm of his Susano'o and fired an arrow made of energy at Kazehana.
"Move!" Ciel shouted as she pushed Kazehana out of the way, the arrow tearing through her.
Arcueid hissed angrily as she also charged in to attack Kabuto, ignoring her instincts warning her otherwise.
Instincts she realized she should have obeyed as Kabuto's Susano'o struck with lightning speed, sending a powerful punch at her, slamming her into a building.
Kabuto chuckled in amusement as he dropped Arcueid limply to the ground and turned to Kazuma. "Hmm…perhaps I should treat them like I did her."
Kazuma froze momentarily before narrowing his eyes angrily. "What are you talking about?" he asked seething.
"That one…what was her name…oh yes, Cera. That precious woman of yours. I finally managed to kill her for good, and all because you were too busy off who knows where doing who knows what. And you know what the best part is? Right before I snuffed out the last remains of her life, she said one word. 'Abraxas'."
Kazuma's eyes widened before he dropped his head, simply slumping where he sat.
"Pathetic," Kabuto chided before smashing Kazuma with his Susano'o's fist.
Kazuma felt intense pain before everything went black.
Kazuma slowly and painfully woke back up in his apartment. He slowly forced his eyes opened and looked around. He winced as he attempted to sit up.
"It's best you stay put," Medea said as she sat beside his bed, back in her casual clothing.
Kazuma sighed as he laid back down, wincing once more. "Tell me what happened after I lost consciousness."
Medea sighed in resignation. "After Kabuto knocked you out Erza got angry and charged at him again. Kazehana also attempted to do the same but Ciel managed to stop them both by stabbing their shadows with her Black Keys. Kabuto took advantage of the confusion to carry out his real plan for being there."
Kazuma narrowed his eyes. "What was it?"
"That thing he had wrapped up was some kind of spare body it seems like. Erza told us the body he had with him was what Roa originally looked like. After Kabuto unwrapped it Roa's soul possessed it."
Kazuma clenched a fist weakly. "What happened after that?"
"Roa seemed ready to continue the fight but Kabuto advised him not to and the two vanished. After that Ciel disappeared somewhere and the rest of us brought you back here. I've been doing my best to heal your wounds. It seems you used up a lot more mana than you thought since your Code wasn't repairing the damage as fast as normal, and even now most of your bones are broken, I simply managed to fix most of your organs."
Kazuma sighed angrily. "Dammit. Guess I really took all my powers for granted before. Even now it seems I have. Kabuto would've been a pretty big nuisance before but now…but now I barely had enough power to put a scratch on him. To think my powers have degraded so much since then."
Medea put a hand on his lightly. "You shouldn't be so worried about it. Even I'm not at my peak, I've probably got about one tenth of what I had before, and at least I've managed to come here to Earth periodically over the past centuries. I'm sure you'll get your original powers back," she said with a reassuring smile.
Kazuma smiled back weakly. "Right…never thought I'd miss that little worm so much."
Medea giggled lightly in amusement. "Guess you won't argue with him so much next time, will you?"
Kazuma chuckled lightly.
"So you are finally awake."
Medea and Kazuma turned to see Erza standing in Kazuma's doorway, her right arm bandaged as well large portions of her torso.
Kazuma sighed in response. "So, you planning on lecturing me again?"
Erza frowned slightly and then shook her head. "No. I would say I was just as foolish as you. I have to say it is quite astonishing. Before, Kabuto was nothing more than an annoying worm. Even during the Fourth Ninja War Kabuto himself was little more than a nuisance. To think that he's become this powerful. I think he'd even surpass Madara at this point."
"I'd agree with you if I knew what any of that meant," Kazuma rebutted sarcastically.
Erza chuckled good-naturedly. "Remind me to explain it to you sometime. All about fighting zombie ninjas and a bunch of clones."
"That sounds like something out of a comic book."
"It was all too real."
Kuroka then walked in behind Erza. "Good to see you're awake now, Kazu-nya."
Kazuma nodded in agreement. "I feel like I was hit by a wyvern but I think I'll heal up in a couple days."
Kuroka folded her arms in thought before smirking playfully. "You should, nya. But what if I told you there was a way to heal you up good in a couple hours, nya?"
Everyone shared confused glances around the room.
Kazuma looked at Kuroka puzzled. "I'd call you a liar but then I've seen the Aspyrixis before so it's not impossible."
Kuroka nodded in agreement. "It's more than that, nya. We Nekoshu, especially once we've mastered our use of nature energy, have heightened healing abilities, nya. Ours far exceed that of normal healing magics, even those of the devils or angels, nya."
Medea stood up and asked curiously, "Then what are you waiting for?"
Kuroka giggled in amusement. "It's something special, nya. I don't want the…secret, to get out, nya."
Erza sighed in annoyance. "Very well. If this healing magic of yours is so great then I suppose we will leave it in your hands. Just do not try anything suspicious."
As Erza and Medea walked towards the entrance Kuroka looked over her shoulder with a sly smile as the door closed.
LEMON BEGINS HERE
She then walked over to the door and turned the lock, sealing the deadbolt.
Kazuma raised an eyebrow curiously as he sat up slowly. "Is this going to hurt?"
Kuroka sauntered over to him, slowly crawling onto the bed until she was seated on his lap. "It can if you want, nya," she said quietly, a contented smile on her face. She then lightly pushed Kazuma back until he was lying down on the bed. "I think at this point you should know how this works, nya."
Kazuma raised an eyebrow. "I've heard sensual healing but I've never heard of such a literal interpretation."
Kuroka leaned over top of him, putting her face right over his, pressing her barely covered breasts against his bare torso. "Well what better way to mix my energy with yours to heal you than for us to become one, nya?"
Kazuma slowly reached up and put a hand on her cheek. "Not exactly used to having a woman on top, but I suppose I'm not exactly in the proper condition to take the role."
"Fufu, then let me, nya," Kuroka giggled as she leaned down and pressed her lips against Kazuma's.
As soon as their lips locked Kazuma and Kuroka both reached out with their tongues, entwining them and caressing each other's, also both attempting to push past the other.
Soon enough Kazuma relented in his weakened state and Kuroka gleefully began exploring the insides of his mouth with her tongue.
Kazuma was surprised how dexterous her silky smooth tongue was as she curled it under the side of his own before caressing the roof of his mouth with the tip of her tongue.
After a moment she pulled away so the two could take a moment to breathe, a string of saliva leaving them distantly connected as she panted lightly, not having pulled her tongue back into her mouth. She then smiled slyly as she slid down some and began to slide her tongue along his abdomen, exploring every crevice between his hardened muscles.
Kazuma twitched lightly at the contact.
Kuroka stopped momentarily and looked up at him amused. "You're really sensitive here, aren't you, nya?"
Kazuma gave her a weak smirk and rebutted, "It doesn't help with where those mounds of yours are pressing."
Kuroka looked down and noticed that her impressive bust was pressing against his manhood, enclosed in his pants as it was. She smirked as an idea formed in her head.
Kazuma raised an eyebrow as Kuroka removed the belt around his waist, pulled down the zipper on his pants, and freed his manhood from its enclosure.
She paused for a moment as it stood up stiffened before shrugging her shoulders lightly as she lowered the top of her kimono.
Kazuma watched as her bosom was exposed to his eyes. He had seen her bosom several times before but for some reason it seemed especially beautiful too him at that moment, her bright pink nipples adding extra color to her flawless skin.
His eyes widened mildly in surprise as she pressed her pink-tipped mountains around his length, most of it vanishing amidst their size.
Using her hands to keep them in place Kuroka began slowly riding up and down on his tool, caressing it on all sides with her soft bosom.
Kazuma watched with arousal as his tip periodically peeked up between the Nekoshu's mounds.
Kuroka giggled lightly. "It's getting hotter, nya."
An eye closed as he felt his body heating up, Kazuma attempted to rebut sarcastically, though failed, "Well it being enveloped in heaven helps…"
As the tip popped up again Kuroka stopped momentarily and leaned her head down, sliding her adept tongue down onto what of his manhood was exposed, sliding it along the tip before pressing her lips onto it.
Kazuma winced lightly. 'Crap'
Kuroka's eyes snapped open as she felt her mouth fill with sticky warmth. She stay motionless for a moment before pulling back and sitting up. She smiled lightly as she lightly opened her mouth, showing the seed Kazuma had unintentionally filled her mouth with, before swallowing it down.
Kazuma sighed before noticing that his body was already feeling better, most of his mobility had returned.
Kuroka moved back up to look Kazuma in the eyes. "I hope you're not done yet, nya. The main act of my healing hasn't even started, nya." She then sat up straight and untied the obi on her kimono before shrugging the entire outfit to the side, off the edge of the bed.
Kazuma drank in her full appearance as best he could at that moment, having not had a chance to fully admire it beforehand. As with her voluminous bosom, there was nary a blemish nor spot anywhere on her body, her skin was pristine, an extra sheen added from the light sweat glistening on her body. He reached a hand up slightly and pressed it against her thigh, riding down from right next to her firm bottom to just above her knee. Her legs were tight and muscular, he could tell from the slightest touch, but they were not overly brawny, adhering just enough padding to make them soft to the touch. Around her front her hips delved down in a near perfect "V", ending at her mound, the pink folds lightly pulsing as aroused juices slowly dripped out. Kazuma had to gulp slightly at the sight.
"Now," Kuroka began as moved back towards his shaft, "how about we begin, nya?" She positioned herself over him, placing her entrance just above him before slowly lowering herself, twitching momentarily as the tip touched against her. She then lowered further, Kazuma's length making the first motions towards her inner sanctum, stretching her womanhood as it did. Kuroka bit her lip lightly as she continued to lower herself onto him, feeling slight pain as she did.
Kazuma raised an eyebrow as he felt light resistance as Kuroka lowered herself onto him, before widening his eyes in surprise as small trickles of blood leaked out around his length. "Kuroka, you're…"
Kuroka smiled at him as she descended. "Of course, nya. I want to continue my race, but I want only the strongest father for my young." She sighed as she felt Kazuma's shaft fill in the deepest parts of her canal. "So, ready, nya?"
Kazuma gave a nod as Kuroka started to move slowly, raising herself up before lowering herself back down again, riding up and down on Kazuma's length.
Kazuma trembled lightly as the smooth tightness of Kuroka's vagina wrapped around his manhood. He found the sensation encapsulating as she rode up and down his rod, her speed increasing with each repetition.
Kuroka panted lightly as her cheeks flushed, feeling Kazuma's shaft extend and expand her core as she moved, the arousal causing her to move faster and fast each time.
Kazuma began to notice his body heating up lightly, as well as his ability to move. Capitalizing on his regained motor skills, he reached up and grabbed her luscious orbs with his hands.
"Unya!" Kuroka moaned as his hands began squeezing and kneading her breasts, moving them around as massaged them with his fingers, occasionally rolling her peaks between his fingers.
As Kuroka rode faster and faster Kazuma continued kneading her bosom, but flinched lightly when he felt her walls began to constrict him, a sensation that was helped when he himself began to swell. Kazuma was nearing his limit as the black-haired Nekoshu slid up and down on his manhood at dizzying speeds before he moved his hands to her waist. "Kuroka…I'm…" he attempted to blurt out unsuccessfully.
Kuroka smiled weakly as her mind began running on instinct, "Yes, fill me up, nya!"
Acting instantly as he felt his limit approaching, Kazuma tightened his grip on her hips, and then used what strength he had to thrust his own hips up while pulling hers down with force.
Kuroka's eyes shot wide as she felt Kazuma's hardness plunge into the deepest part of her, partially pushing into her womb, before she couldn't contain herself, "Uuunnnyyyaaannn!" she moaned loudly as Kazuma's manhood released within her.
Kazuma grit his teeth as he felt his release within Kuroka, also feeling himself become covered in Kuroka's own release.
After a moment of panting Kuroka pulled herself from Kazuma's dick and flopped over onto the other side of the bed.
Kazuma also breathed heavily for a moment, feeling exhausted but also feeling better than he had before they started. He turned his head to compliment Kuroka but his partner was already passed out. He merely smiled as he closed his eyes and allowed his own exhaustion to take over.
LEMON ENDS HERE
Outside Kazuma's room, Presa walked in the kitchen when she noticed a small, nondescript, torn packet lying on the table. She raised an eyebrow and picked it up, sniffing it curiously. "This is…an herb used for fertility…" She then turned to the door to Kazuma's room curiously. "…She couldn't have…"
"Presa," Erza said as she tried to get the Kitsune's attention.
Presa turned her head to the redhead, her tail wagging lightly. "What do you need?"
"Has…hmm, what's that?"
Presa looked down at the packet in her hand and then hurriedly stuffed it between her breasts. "Nothing. What did you need again?"
Erza raised an eyebrow but shook her head. "Has Kuroka finished healing Kazuma?"
Presa shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know." The two walked over to the door and Presa tried the door handle. It jiggled but wouldn't move. "Hm…it's locked. I suppose they're not finished."
Erza frowned in disappointment. "I see."
"Well, it shouldn't take too much longer."
Erza sat down on the bed in her room. As she looked around she narrowed her eyes. "It's been several days since Kazuma fought with Mira, resulting in the destruction of that Gillian. I'm certain at this point they'll have pegged him as either a person of interest or…or perhaps even a threat. And if they sent somebody now, then…" Erza merely sighed in frustration.
Kazuma slowly awoke and looked around, seeing Kuroka still asleep, and still naked, next to him. He smiled in amusement and then turned to the clock and sighed. "Three thirty in the morning? Well, guess I might as well shower while I'm up."
He threw the covers over Kuroka's nude form and made his way to the bathroom.
As Kazuma cleaned himself of the general grime on his body and the effects of his and Kuroka's "healing" he thought back to the fight with Roa and the attack launched by Kabuto. He narrowed his eyes angrily. 'Damn…it's embarrassing how outclassed I was by that bastard. But the bigger question is…what was he doing there? Why was Kabuto even bothering to show himself in public, just to insure I didn't destroy Roa completely?'
After a moment of thought Ddraig interrupted, 'What I find most confusing is they interacted. Come to think of it, during the times before we encountered Kabuto and Orochimaru we never encountered them both at the same time. But…well Kabuto was at best a subversive mole to Orochimaru and at worst his boy toy. But this seemed like a total role reversal.'
Kazuma noted that. 'I wouldn't know too much about it since it was a long time before I even existed that those two had that kind of interaction I'd assume. But even more…all I can think about is…'
"I finally managed to kill her for good, and all because you were too busy off who knows where doing who knows what. And you know what the best part is? Right before I snuffed out the last remains of her life, she said one word. 'Abraxas'."
Kazuma slammed his fist against the wall. 'I can't believe this. I wasn't even there when she died…' Kazuma's fist trembled lightly as the water poured over his head before he felt a light touch against his hand.
He turned around and saw Kuroka standing behind him.
She tilted her head with a smile, her ears twitching lightly as she did.
The two embraced for a moment before Kuroka looked up at Kazuma. "You know, I think you still have a few injuries, nya."
Kazuma raised an eyebrow and then smirked in response.
The next morning, Kazuma walked out of his room, Kuroka following behind him, stumbling lightly.
Sheele and Presa observed thoughtfully as the two sat down, taking note of Kuroka's light flinch when she sat.
Presa raised an eyebrow as she noticed that despite her seemingly pained actions she had a half-aware smile on her face. Presa then sighed as she rested her cheek on her fist before looking at Kazuma with a knowing expression.
Kazuma looked at her slightly confused. "Er, wh-what…?"
"I see that the two of you were busy last night."
Kazuma grunted weakly as he realized Presa had found out what happened. Though he wasn't entirely sure how. He then saw Kuroka's expression and sighed.
Sheele merely sighed.
Kazuma raised an eyebrow as he notice Hikari and Hibiki stumbling up to the table. "Uhm…what's wrong with the two of you?"
They both glared at him.
"You seem mad…" he remarked. He also noticed Toyotama failing to walk properly as she stumbled to a seat.
Toyotama just sighed as she slumped her head on the table.
Kazuma scratched his head in confusion. "What exactly happened to you guys?" Kazuma noticed slightly hitched breaths and saw Kazehana standing nearby. He raised an eyebrow as he noticed her thighs pressed together tightly.
Kazehana sighed and then explained weakly, "Our emotions are…linked to…yours…"
Kazuma blinked curiously before it clicked in his mind. He moaned in annoyance and slammed his head on the table. "Couldn't I have at least been there?" He then sat up straight as Arcueid walked up to the table. He clenched a fist angrily before sighing. "So…how are you feeling…?" he asked apprehensively.
Arcueid smiled weakly. "I'm feeling better than I did last night. You know, these walls are pretty thin."
Kazuma froze in annoyance. "Shit…anyway…what about Ciel?"
Arcueid shook her head. "I haven't heard from her since last night. And Roa has completely vanished as well."
Kazuma nodded in understanding before pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration.
After the eventful morning, and Kazuma's weak explanation to the others as to the previous night's events before accepting his defeat, Kazuma, Erza, Medea, Mavis, and Souji, who had assumed an invisible Spirit Form, made their way to Kuoh.
As the group made their way to school Kazuma sighed in exasperation.
"Is something wrong?" Mavis asked curiously.
Kazuma shrugged in response. "I've just been thinking about several things."
Mavis raised an eyebrow curiously.
Kazuma looked down at her with a reassuring smile. "Don't worry about it. It's just grown up stuff."
Mavis puffed her cheeks angrily, though Kazuma thought it just made her cuter. "I am a grown up! I'm older than you are! I'm the oldest person here!"
"And yet you're the one that looks most like a grade-schooler."
Mavis dropped her head and pouted angrily.
"Come on," Medea attempted to reassure her, "Don't cry."
Weakly the blonde argue, "I'm not crying. I'm not…"
Kazuma couldn't help snickering at the girl's attempt to hide her reaction.
Elsewhere in the city, high atop one of the bridges leading into the city, a black cat sat on top of one of the towers, looking down on the city below.
After a moment it jumped down off the tower, landing perfectly on the sidewalk far below before walking into town.
Kazuma made his way inside the school grounds as he noticed Rin standing near the front gate. "Tohsaka? Waiting for someone?"
Rin turned to him with her hands on her hips, an annoyed expression aimed at him. "Yes, in fact. You."
Kazuma blinked curiously.
After walking away from the eyes of the other students, Rin folded her arms and gave Kazuma an annoyed stare.
"So…" Kazuma mumbled, "are you just gunna stare at me all day…?"
Rin sighed and asked, "What was happening last night?"
Kazuma tilted his head in confusion. "You'll need to be more specific."
"Archer sensed several powerful energy sources fighting last night, one of which she immediately recognized as you. I highly doubt something like that is a coincidence. So, what happened? What kind of battle did you get yourself involved in this time?"
Kazuma winced as he was reminded of the fight with Roa, as well as the beating he took from Kabuto. "It's…a long story. But I suppose to make it as short as possible I was stuck in a fight with a vampire."
"A vampire?" Rin asked incredulously. "Do you really expect me to believe that?"
Kazuma looked at her flatly.
"Fine, let's say for the sake of argument I actually believe you. Why the hell were you fighting a vampire?"
"He's the one who perpetrated several attacks recently. Most of which left the victims drained of blood. Unfortunately I can't really say any more than that."
Rin narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "And why not?"
"There are various reasons why. The biggest is I don't need the headache of you getting involved with this." Not allowing her to retort Kazuma walked past her and towards the classroom.
Rin turned to him greatly annoyed, and shook her fists lightly before sticking her tongue out and walking away.
Kazuma walked into his classroom with an annoyed sigh. As he moved to his seat Sakura turned to him.
"Good morning, Soryu," she said happily.
Kazuma raised an eyebrow and nodded in response. "Mornin'." He narrowed his eyes however when he noticed a dark blue mark on her neck. He pointed to his own neck silently.
Sakura looked at him puzzled and then put a hand over the same sport on her neck. Her eyes momentarily widened before she turned away timidly, pulling up her collar to cover the mark. "I-it's uhm, nothing. So don't worry…"
Kazuma narrowed his eyes suspiciously but turned his attention back to the front of the classroom as Taiga walked in, though he kept the moment in the back of his mind.
As lunch time approached Kazuma prepared to head out as normal when he noticed literally bumped into Uryu.
As the blue-haired teen hit up against the wall he frowned at Kazuma, adjusting his glasses with one finger. "You should be more mindful of your surroundings, Soryu," Uryu snapped.
"Maybe you should stop blending into the scenery so much," Kazuma deadpanned. He then noticed the lackluster meal in Uryu's hands. "That's not your…?"
Uryu looked down at his meal and then back up at Kazuma. "So what if it is?"
"After all that fancy stuff you did with the sewing needle and all the other precision you've got, this is your food?"
"Is that a problem for you?"
"Not really. Though I suppose if you promise not to do anything stupid like before I could allow you to join the rest of my group on the roof."
"I think I'll pa-" Uryu was not given a choice as Kazuma grabbed him by the collar and dragged him away. "H-hey! Let me go!"
Erza sat at her desk as she went over the recent events in her mind. 'That agent from the Second Division. I'm certain his report would have been received by this point. I imagine that soon…'
Outside Kisuke Urahara's shop, Ururu was cleaning as usual while Jinta was goofing off as usual.
Ururu turned to clean a different spot when she saw the small black cat standing in front of her. Without saying a word she went inside the shop.
After a moment, Ururu came back out with Tessai and Kisuke behind her.
Kisuke smirked as he walked over to the cat and knelt down. "Well hello there Yoruichi."
Jinta tilted his head in confusion. "What's up with the cat?"
Tessai answered, "That cat is his best friend."
"Uh-huh…"
At Kuoh, Kazuma, Uryu, Yuuto, Ichigo, Saji, Matsuda, and Motohama sat on the roof eating their lunch.
Matsuda and Motohama sighed in disappointment.
Kazuma glanced at them and asked, "Something wrong?"
Motohama adjusted his glasses in response. "Yes, the girls aren't here this time."
"Yeah, it's just dudes," Matsuda added.
Kazuma sighed. "I think you'll survive."
"You're one to talk," Uryu insulted.
Kazuma looked at him pointedly and twitched an eyebrow. "What the hell does that mean?"
Uryu glanced to the side annoyed.
Kazuma grumbled at him.
"Hey," Sado said suddenly, standing behind Saji.
Saji almost immediately shot out of his seat. "Gah! Don't just walk up on people like that!"
"Oh. Sorry."
Saji sighed and then sat back down.
Uryu glanced over at Kazuma and then asked, "Why did you bring me here in the first place?"
Kazuma shrugged. "I felt like it."
Uryu twitched an eyebrow. "That's not an answer."
Kazuma glanced to the side in annoyance.
Yuuto watched the exchange in amusement, remarking how similar the two were.
Elsewhere on the school grounds, Erza had found herself unwittingly dragged to a different eating spot than usual by Orihime and Tatsuki.
"P-pardon me, but what is the meaning of this?" Erza asked puzzled.
"You shouldn't always eat lunch with those idiots, sometimes it's nice to eat with just us girls," Tatsuki answered.
"I-I see," Erza responded still mildly bewildered as they approached their small group, which included a young woman with long, waist-length brown hair that curled in several large, drill-like shapes, two smaller drill-like shapes hanging down from the bangs that framed her face, a cowlick sticking up on the top of her head, matching brown eyes, and wearing a black hairband along with the female Kuoh uniform, with the corset and shoulder-cape.
Tatsuki motioned to the brown-haired teen and asked, "Have you two met yet?"
Erza thought for a moment and shook her head.
Tatsuki was about to introduce the brunette when she stood up and said, "My name is Kiyome Abe, third year and captain of the tennis club."
Erza nodded in understanding. "My name is Erza Scarlet, it is a pleasure to meet you."
"Well at least they're getting along," commented a girl with long brown hair that reached her waist, tied in a ponytail with a red bow, two long bangs hanging down over her moderate bust, with light brown eyes who wore the female Kuoh uniform with the shoulder cape.
"I get along with everyone believe it or not, Murayama," Kiyome rebutted.
"Right, right," Murayama dismissed.
"Hmph."
As Erza sat down to eat her own meal another girl, one with shoulder-length, orange-pink hair and red-brown eyes wearing a white hairband and the female Kuoh uniform with shoulder-cape leaned over and remarked curiously, "I keep hearing you and Kazuma Soryu walk to school together, is that true?"
Erza looked at the pink-haired girl curiously and was about to respond when she was cut off.
Kiyome hacked on her food momentarily upon hearing the pinkette's words and then insisted, "Wh-what?! I highly doubt something like that is true, Katase!"
"Oh, and why are you so certain?" Katase, the pinkette, asked.
Kiyome mumbled for a moment and then answered, "Simple. I am certain that she wouldn't…associate, with someone like Kazuma."
Katase blinked curiously. "Kazuma? Since when did you start calling Soryu by his first name?"
Kiyome looked at Katase blankly as she realized her mistake, her face turning the same color as Erza's hair. "Th-th-that was an honest mistake, I assure you!"
As the two began to bicker Erza smiled lightly. 'This place has a very nice atmosphere to it. Unfortunately, I do not belong here…'
In the grouping of trees nearby, Rukia stood silently in the shadows of one of the trees before sighing in resentment and walking away.
Back at Kisuke's shop, the black cat Yoruichi sat outside the shop looking up at the sky as Kisuke walked out with a bowl of milk.
As he sat down, Kisuke placed the bowl next to him. "Here ya go."
The cat gave him a moment's attention before returning its gaze to the sky. It then spoke in a deep male voice, "It seems that two of them have already arrived in Shinto Teito."
"Yep, looks like things are about to get really interesting, doesn't it?" Kisuke remarked.
Kazuma managed to make his way through the rest of the day, though he noticed Sakura did not return to class after leaving before lunch, which made him even more concerned for what was happening around her.
However such thoughts were forced from his mind as he arrived at the Occult Research Club. The reason? As he approached the door he heard the distinct sounds of a woman moaning in pleasure.
Kazuma was curious who the owner of the alluring moans was until he pressed his ear against the door. 'Th-that's…Akeno's voice…!' he thought in surprise. He slowly cracked the door open and nearly fell over in shock.
Akeno was sitting on the couch moaning, but the reason was behind her, or rather, she was sitting on the reason's lap.
That reason was a young-looking woman who looked virtually identical to Rias except for dark brown hair and brown eyes, wearing a form-fitting, off-white dress with red shoulder straps, long, shoulder-length black gloves, blue, high-heeled sandals, and two necklaces draped over each other.
However, it was not just this Rias lookalike's presence that shocked him, though that in itself was enough to confuse him. The most astonishing part was that this Rias lookalike had Akeno seated in her lap and was fervently kneading the raven-haired girl's bountiful breasts with her hands.
Kazuma gulped as he watched the scene within.
Akeno moaned as the Rias lookalike continued playing with the ravenette's impressive bust.
Kazuma's attention shifted around slightly when he noticed Rias sitting at her desk, giving the lookalike an annoyed frown. However, he noticed something strange about the frown as he thought about it. He almost fell over again when he realized what it was, the frown the redheaded devil wore was the same he held in his frustration at not being the one to play with the ravenette's bosom. Kazuma was planning to commit the scene to memory when he suddenly felt an impact on his behind that sent him into the room, forcing the door open.
Acting with extreme speed the strange woman pushed Akeno from her lap and assumed a proper, regal sitting position with her hands folded in her lap.
Kazuma groaned in annoyance as he lie on the floor, glancing up to see Koneko standing behind where he was, an annoyed scowl on her face, a foot slightly raised.
He twitched an eyebrow before standing up, brushing the dirt from his pants.
Yuuto just laughed weakly as he walked in, before gulping when he saw the brunette woman sitting on the couch.
Rias sighed as Kazuma walked over to the opposite couch, eyeing the woman curiously.
The woman smiled at Kazuma slightly.
Kazuma nodded back with a good-natured smile.
"Aren't you going to introduce me?" the woman asked to Rias.
The redhead nodded in apprehensive understanding before turning to Kazuma. "I suppose now is as good a time as any. Kazuma, this is Venelana Gremory, my mother."
Kazuma nodded in understanding. "Ah, well it's-gerk!" Kazuma stopped midsentence as he fell out of his seat. "D-did you say…mother?"
Rias nodded in response. "Yes, my mother."
Kazuma looked at the woman in surprise. 'Damn…whatever genes this brunette's got they must be damn good, keepin' her so young…wait a sec…' Kazuma thought. "Hang on, Rias, did you say, Venelana?"
Rias nodded with a raised eyebrow.
'Then…that means this brunette is…my descendent…damn, seems Chiaki's genes stayed strong.'
'That's one way of looking at it I guess,' Ddraig added.
Kazuma just sighed as he attempted to make sense of the situation.
Back at Kazuma's apartment, Kuroka stretched as she woke up from a nap and noticed it was strangely quiet. As she looked around she tilted her head in confusion.
She then noticed a small note on the kitchen table.
"What's this, nya?" she asked as she picked it up. Her eyes widened as she read it. "I need to find Kazu-nya!"
Outside the apartment, Erza looked up at the complex for a moment before walking away.
Erza brought a hand to her chest in frustration before gritting her teeth and running.
High above her, on a telephone pole, however, two figures watched as she left.
Chihiro once again sat in her apartment, lightly pressing her index fingers together nervously. She perked up slightly as a red magic circle appeared on the floor in front of her, Kazuma emerging from it.
Kazuma smiled momentarily as he walked over to her. "Are you ready to continue where we left off?"
The girl gulped but nodded timidly.
Kuroka sped across the rooftops around the city, making her way towards where she thought Kazuma would be.
She held the note she had found in between her breasts as she ran, though she also felt the presence of two powerful people she didn't recognize.
As Erza continued running towards the edge of the city, her thoughts flowed back to the time she had spent in Shinto Teito after encountering Kazuma. She grit her teeth angrily as she came to realize she has developed attachments to the city that would hinder her work as a Soul Reaper.
However, Erza suddenly stopped when a voice called, "Erza Scarlet! 'Bout time we found you!" She turned around slowly as her eyes widened. She managed to jump back as a figure landed where she had been standing moments before, slashing downwards.
The figure stood up straight, revealing it to be a young-looking man with brown eyes and long crimson hair pulled back into a ponytail with a dramatic widow's peak, his face and what was visible of his upper body being covered in black, tribal tattoos, who wore the standard Soul Reaper uniform along with a pair of sunglasses on his forehead.
Erza narrowed her eyes in response. "Renji Abarai. I'm surprised you're one of the ones sent here."
The tattooed Soul Reaper, Renji, smirked in response. "Well, based on what we'd heard, you've lost a fair bit of your power. Now, how about you tell us who the human that took your powers is."
Erza narrowed her eyes in thought. 'I could attempt to lie, but it's likely he's been filled in on the situation, making it pointless.'
Renji snarled angrily. "You know, you're one of the most powerful Soul Reapers I know, and yet here you are floundering around in the human world, stuffed in a Gigai. Don't you agree, Captain Kuchiki?"
At that moment, the second figure emerged from the shadows, a tall man with slate grey eyes and long black hair kept in intricate headpieces, three on the top of his head and two on the right side, wearing the Soul Reaper uniform underneath a long white haori, a white scarf, and fingerless gloves that covered only the backs of his hands.
Erza grit her teeth angrily. "Byakuya Kuchiki, guess they're really serious, aren't they?"
Byakuya, the black-haired man, narrowed his eyes silently before glancing off to the right where a large number of trees were on the side of the road. After a moment his attention returned to Erza. "I am certain you are aware of the crime you have committed."
Erza hissed angrily but jumped to the side as Renji charged at her. She frowned as she pulled a sword out from the bag she was carrying. "I guess it's a good thing I picked this up from Kisuke," she mumbled to herself.
Renji looked at her puzzled and then sneered. "You really intend on fighting me while in that Gigai? Maybe you really have lost it." He charged at Erza with his Zanpakuto down by his side and swung up.
Erza spun to the side and kicked out at Renji's knee.
The tattooed Soul Reaper flipped backwards over her kick and swung his sword at her as he flipped.
She raised her sword horizontally, blocking his blow, and then swung her sword down, knocking his sword away and sending him tumbling to the ground.
Renji managed to plant a hand on the ground and righted himself just in time for Erza to charge in with her sword poised to strike. He grit his teeth and kicked her in the shoulder both to push her away and put some distance between the two of them. He hissed as he landed. "Dammit, you're really serious about this, aren't you?"
Erza stood up straight, raising her blade. "At this point, I am."
"Tch, guess I've got no choice then." Renji placed his right hand against the hand guard of his Zanpakuto and slid his hand towards the tip, shouting, "Roar, Zabimaru!" as the sword suddenly changed to an even longer, six-part, segmented blade, with each segment being wider than the previous starting from the hilt, long, prick-like protrusions on the top and bottom of each segment, the bottom protrusions being much longer than the top protrusions.
Erza narrowed her eyes in response. 'He has activated his Shikai. This is going to get difficult.' She kept her concerns to herself as she steadied herself.
"Che, don't say I didn't warn you about this!" Renji howled as he swung his sword forward, the segments suddenly separating and extending forward, a stretchable series of threads connecting the segments as the sword lashed forward like a whip.
Erza attempted to dodge the strike but felt her knee lock up as she did. 'Damn it! Why does this Gigai have to show deterioration now of all times?!' She watched helplessly as the segments approached her at high speed.
Suddenly, a streak of blue light hit his sword and knocked to the side just enough to miss Erza.
Their eyes widened equivocally as they turned to see Uryu Ishida standing nearby.
Renji hissed as he pulled Zabimaru back. "Tch, and just who the hell are you?"
Uryu walked over beside Erza. "No one in particular, just a classmate of Erza's. And one who happens to despise Soul Reapers."
Erza looked at Uryu surprised. "Ishida, what are you doing here?"
Uryu turned to her. "I was merely passing by after going to the sewing supply store and saw you in trouble," he answered as he held up a shopping bag.
Erza looked at him incredulously. "You just wanted the chance to fight them…did you not?"
Uryu coughed into his hand.
"Hey!" Renji shouted as he swung his sword again, this time slashing Uryu's shopping bag in half.
Uryu twitched an eyebrow. "I paid good money for that."
"Don't ignore me you pest! Besides, who the hell are you?!"
Uryu adjusted his glasses as he dropped the remnants of his purchase. "Uryu Ishida. Remember that name well, it's the name of the one who will defeat you."
Renji snarled angrily before smirking in frustration. "Alright then…I'll be killing you first."
Kazuma reappeared in the Occult Research Club after finishing his meeting with Chihiro.
"So, how did this one go?" Arturia asked as he walked towards the door.
"A little better. She only stuttered half of her words this time. Still couldn't get any closer than sitting across the table though."
Arturia folded her arms. "Knowing you that is for the best."
Kazuma gained a tic mark. "Oy! I don't force it if they don't want it, got it!?"
"Tell that to Guinevere."
"That was her idea dammit! Role play! Role play!"
Arturia just hummed dismissively.
Kazuma sighed heavily before turning to Rias. "So anything else?"
Rias shook her head in response. "No, you spent quite a long time there though."
"Hey, getting a girl over androphobia, especially since I'm a man, isn't easy."
Rias nodded in understanding as he walked out the door, though not before giving Arturia a light peck on the cheek.
The blonde smiled lightly as he walked out.
Kazuma made his way to the rooftops to head home when something slammed him into at high speed.
He grumbled momentarily as he regained his sense and looked to see Kuroka stood over him, breathing heavily. "Uh…uhm…what's going on?"
Kuroka took a moment to catch her breath and then pulled the letter out from her bosom and shoved it at him. "Read it, nya!"
Kazuma raised an eyebrow but unfolded the slightly damp paper. He looked at it and his eyes widened.
Written on the letter from Erza was, "Goodbye, I will be leaving for a while. Burn this letter after you have read it."
Kazuma clenched his fist as the letter was engulfed in flames. "Son of a bitch!" He stood up and turned to Kuroka. "Kuroka, my nose still hasn't returned to what it was at my peak, can you smell Erza's scent?"
Kuroka nodded in understanding and raised her head up slightly, turning to sniff the air as she did. Without saying a word she instantly sped off.
Kazuma did not miss a beat either as he sped after her.
"Kazu-nya, around the time she left I also sensed two powerful energy sources in the area, nya," Kuroka explained.
"Damn," Kazuma cursed in frustration. "Can you tell anything about them?"
"Their scent burns my nose a little, nya. That probably means they're Soul Reapers, nya."
Kazuma clenched his fists. "Then I guess I'd better be ready for a fight. If that little pest was here I could switch into my Spirit Form to fight them, but I'll have to stick with what I've got." He then slammed his fists together, shouting, "Boosted Gear!" as he did, the two red gauntlets emerging on his fists in a burst of light.
"Dragon Booster!" the gauntlets shouted as they appeared and lit up.
Kazuma then activated his Sharingan to better see his targets once they got close.
Renji charged at Uryu in preparation to finish him off, Uryu retaliated with his light arrow.
Uryu widened his eyes as Renji effortlessly knocked the attack to the side.
Erza then charged around Uryu and attempted to get behind Renji.
Renji snarled and turned to strike Erza as she approached, only to growl as a light arrow planted itself in his foot.
Erza took the opening to plant a slamming kick against his gut, sending him flying against the wall on the opposite side of the road.
"Gahh!" Renji howled as both her attack hit and the light arrow tore through his foot viscerally. He was certain he'd lost a few toes.
Erza then charged at Renji with her sword raised towards him.
As her strike came close Renji raised his sword and attempted to block it but an arrow from Uryu knocked his sword out of its course.
Renji bent to the side, Erza's sword missing his head but piercing his shoulder, though not without one of the prongs from Renji's sword digging into Erza's ankle.
Erza smirked as she slammed her left hand, which had a small glowing ball of energy in it, against Renji's chest.
"Shit, that's-!" Renji attempted to shout as suddenly energy burst from his body in all directions, knocking him unconscious.
Erza sighed before hissing as the prong from Renji's sword was removed. She then stumbled over to Uryu who helped her sit down before bandaging her leg.
Byakuya looked over his unconscious comrade before turning to Uryu and Erza. "I hope you accept the repercussions of your actions here," he said plainly.
Erza stood up weakly and scowled at him as a portion of her hair fell over, covering her right eye. "You two started this."
Byakuya narrowed his eyes before disappearing from view moments before the ground where he stood exploded violently.
Erza and Uryu covered their eyes from the dust as a crater was revealed.
Byakuya looked at the sizable crater to his right and then up to see Kazuma standing on the rooftops overhead, a very angry expression on his face, and Kuroka standing beside him.
The two then leapt down and landed beside Erza and Uryu.
Kazuma looked around and then turned to Erza, then turned to the unconscious Renji, and then to Byakuya before sighing and turning to Erza again. "I just got off talking to a nice girl and helping her get over her phobia of men and I find you getting taken away by a guy with a pole up his ass and a tattooed idiot? What the hell were you doing all day today Erza?"
Erza smirked weakly in response. "Sorry, I do not intentionally cause you trouble."
Kazuma sighed heavily as he ran a hand through his hair. "Coulda fooled me."
Byakuya narrowed his eyes as he looked at Kazuma, noticing the red gauntlets on his hands.
Kazuma then turned back to the stoic Soul Reaper. "Lemme guess, the punk rocker is this guy's lackey?"
Erza raised an eyebrow and then widened her eyes. "Kazuma, don't. In your state you cannot take him on."
Kazuma smirked proudly. "We'll see about that." He then narrowed his eyes. 'It'll be a gamble, but I'm going to need Clarent on this one.' After a moment Clarent appeared in his hands, Kazuma wincing lightly as it began slowly burning his skin. "Alright you stuck-up bastard, let's do this."
Byakuya narrowed his eyes in response, sliding his right foot back minutely.
And that is the end of that. Hopefully you guys enjoyed everything that happened in this chapter, if so, let me know in a review. If not...sorry, I guess?

Well, with that said, what did you two-? Huh...that's a rather big grin Kuroka. And you certainly don't look happy Koneko...you know what, I don't think I need to ask.
"I have to hug you, nyaaa!"
Hrmph...brumph...boobies...
"Thank you, nya!"
"You're choking him."
"Oh, nya..."
Eh heh...heh heh...
"His nose is bleeding."
"I wouldn't worry about him, he has a big smile so he must be okay. Besides, I'm sure you'll get you're turn soon."
"..."
Yes, you will, now stop with the kitten eyes.
"Good. More sweets next time."
"Thanks again, nya. Bye bye, nya!"
Well that was unexpected. Hmm...maybe I should include more of these if that's the result...ahem! Anyway, until next time!
