Meeting and Fighting Another Immortal
After saying a heartwarming farewell to his friends and revealing that they knew about Touta and Yukihime dating for two months since they were there witnessing Touta's confession much to the vampire woman's embarrassment, the two set off for the capital as Touta wants to meet the mysterious man at the top of the tower. Touta promised to become famous for the town which Yukihime believed it sounded so vague but became quickly embarrass when Touta declared that he's going to marry her after he reach the top of the tower.
Now there are seeing walking on a sort of beat up old road for some time now and it's still a very long way to the big city that might take days to get there on foot.
"Wow, this is one massive road! It's such a waste that no one is using it." Touta commented in the long road he and Yukhime are walking on.
"The populist of Japan of decrease, a quarter of the land has now been abandoned. It's not just Japan either, the whole world is suffering through." Yukihime explained.
"Damn, I can see why the town rarely gets any visitors." Touta said.
"I can also see why we're not taking in transportation, any bounty hunters hiding in public sight would lead to a bloodbath if we were force to fight in such an area." Touta pointed out why they are walking instead of taking a train.
"Correct, but it won't be for long for I have called us a ride." Yukihime mentioned.
"Cool! I can't wait to get to the capital!" Touta excited and start singing a stupid song that wasn't even clever. He is also excited of making new friends at the capital.
Later, they stop at an abandoned gas station decided to take a break from all the walking.
"Wow, there's a waterfall over there!" Touta spotted from the edge of the road.
"Touta." Yukihime said to gain his attention.
"Just so you know now, you must not forget that you have become an immortal being." Yukihime reminded shocking Touta to realization.
"That's right, I'm gonna be fourteen forever. I won't age at all and the people will disappeared one day too." Touta said sadly looking down at his hand. Becoming was forced upon him since yesterday, realizing his friends will grow old while he'll be stuck looking like this probably until the end of time, but then he smiles.
"Don't worry, even though the friends I'll make won't be around for long I'll still the hold memories we'll make to keep moving forward!" Touta believed, shocking Yukihime a bit.
"Well, I'm gonna go swim for a bit, want to join?" Touta offered for relax in the water.
"No, I'm fine, I'll just be here if you need me." Yukihime said. Touta nodded and ran off to the waterfall.
"It looks like Touta's kind heart is stronger than immortally." Yukihime smiled.
Touta is seen swimming in the small lake where the waterfall is, though he is naked since he didn't pack a swimsuit for, but he didn't care since there's no one around. As he floats around relaxing a little, he started to think about his Devil power he also unlocked wondering if there is a way to combine the two powers.
"Huh?" Touta thoughts were interrupted when he felt his tap on something hard and felt the surface with his hands.
"This rock feels weird." Touta said, only to discover that he's not touching a rock at all, but a person's butt from behind as that person gasps of seeing him.
"Oh, huh, sorry, my bad." Touta chuckled.
The person with a slim figure looked angry and pulls out a sword.
"You… BASTARD!" The person slashed at Touta resulting some the water to raise from one swing, but Touta managed to dodge it and got on higher ground.
"Whoa, hey, I said I was sorry! But that attack you just did was awesome and" Touta stopped his sentence when he notices something.
"Back off, who are you?" The person demanded.
Touta saw the person's face as a pretty girl and the slim beautiful legs.
"You're a woman?" Touta blurted out and got punched in the cheek by the hilt of the woman knocking down a few feet away.
"Who're you calling a woman?" The person angered, claiming to not be a woman but a young man like him.
Touta and his new friend soon called it truce and dry themselves up before walking back to the abandoned gas station.
"So, you're really a guy huh? Sorry, I just took one look at your face and thought you were a girl." Touta apologized.
"I'm also sorry about mistaken your butt as a rock." Touta apologized for that too then find the boy's sword under his chin.
"Well, next time you should be more aware of your surroundings." The boy scolded making Touta chuckles nervous.
The boy has very long black hair which is tied in a side-ponytail and split at the front as long bangs that covers his left eye. He wears a formal white business shirt and tie with black pants underneath a black long coat.
"That being said." The boy put the sword back in its sheath. "No one around my age has ever been able to dodge my sword like that before."
"My name is Kuroumaru Tokisaka, a pleasure." Kuroumaru introduced himself.
"Cool, Touta Konoe." Touta said his name.
The two sat down and started about a little about each other.
"Oh, so you're on your way to the capital." Kuroumaru said.
"Yep, I was finally to get out of that town though by some… difficult circumstance." Touta said, not sure he should tell his new friend about being part vampire and demon.
"What about you, where do you come from?" Touta asked.
"I come from up there." Kuroumaru pointed at the elevator much to Touta's shock that he came from elevator.
"No way, that's so cool!" Touta complimented while grabbing Kuroumaru's hand.
"Huh, you're sort of creeping me out." Kuroumaru said.
"Dude, you must've come from a rich family to live up there!" Touta stated.
"I wouldn't say rich, but I suppose my family is reasonably well off." Kuroumaru clarified.
"But you see… I've been somewhat cast out." Kuroumaru said sad.
"What?" Tohru confused.
"Until I find this certain woman, I am forbidden from returning there, so I must find her and complete my mission." Kuroumaru revealed.
"Seriously, that's fuck up if you ask me." Touta said mad.
"So, who is this woman you're after?" Touta asked.
"A vampire known as Dark Evange." Kuroumaru revealed.
"(Evange? That's short for Evangeline like Yukihime's real name, but I'm sure it's just a coincidence.)" Touta thought.
"She appears young as a little girl but is 700 years old." Kuroumaru added.
"(Yukihime is 700, but there probably other vampires who are that old.)" Touta thought slowly freaking out a bit.
"Recently, I've heard she's been putting on a disguise of a much older woman." Kuroumaru said.
"(SHIT?! That's definitely Yukihime, I did remember seeing her younger form after I beat that assassin yesterday!)" Touta thought freaking out and sweating a lot.
"(Huh, he doesn't have a reflection?)" Kuroumaru thought noticed when he looks at the reflection on the window.
"Touta!" Yukihime called out.
"You're not going to believe this, but I found a hot spring nearby we could go to." Yukihime informed.
"Yukihime, stay back!" Touta warned wanting to protect his girlfriend.
"Evangeline A.K. McDowell!" Kuroumaru called out and slash his sword at her, only to be stopped by her fingers.
The way the boy moves and how he uses a sword reminds Yukihime of two of her classmates including one of them being the sword fighter.
"Shinmei-ryū? This takes me back." Yukihime said.
"I see you're a vampire too, Touta." Kuroumaru said, shocking the white-haired boy.
"I come from a clan known for hunting immortals, it's our duty eliminate threats to humanity like you to the darkness from which you came." Kuroumaru explained.
"Hold on, can't we just talk about it?" Touta asked.
"It's a pity, I thought we really couldn't become good friends in the end." Kuroumaru said as wind gather around him.
"Shinmei-ryū Secret Technique: Stone Cutting Sword" Kuroumaru attacked Yukihime only to be impaled through the chest by the vampire woman. Kuroumaru is left on the ground with a big hole on his chest.
"Whoa! What the hell, I know the guy wanted to kill you, but I believe him to be nice and maybe we could've worked something if you haven't murder him!" Touta panicked.
"Look at him closely, Touta." Yukihime pointed at Kuroumaru and see the wound is already healing superfast.
"No way!" Touta shocked.
"To think they're using an immortal to hunt immortals." Yukihime said, feeling insulted by this.
Touta was shocked Kuroumaru's clan who sent him to kill Yukihime is an immortal too which is pretty ironic now that he thinks about it, then decided to check on the guys real gender taking a quick look at his pants.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Kuroumaru immediately woke up and punched Touta of embarrassment.
"That sure brought him back to life!" Touta groaned.
"Why would you try to peek down my pants anyway?" Kuroumaru asked.
"Sorry, I was wanted to see if you're really a guy by seeing your dick." Touta explained.
"Don't say dick!" Kuroumaru embarrassed.
"If it makes you feel any better, you punched me before I could see anything." Touta mentioned.
"Wait, forget that. I have a duty to kill Evangeline A.K. McDowell, the Evil Vampire!" Kuroumaru determined.
"Such a pity really, since you already lost to me, miserably I might add." Yukihime mocked.
"Hold on, I'm not done with you yet!" Kuroumaru said.
"Forget, you're strong and all, but there's no way you can beat Yukihime like that." Touta stated.
But Kuroumaru wouldn't back down from this, for he has to complete this mission no matter what, or else he'll never return home as he begun to remember how he started on this mission.
"Kuroumaru, you must go and slay the vampire Evangeline A.K. McDowell."
(Flashback)
"While in the past she was feared as the Dark Evange, but she is now a mere ruined of her former self." A man in a black masked informed Kuroumaru sitting ten feet across from him.
"If you are unable to defeat her, there is no place in this clan for you." The black masked man said coldly.
Kuroumaru is looking down at two photos of Evangeline, one is her true younger self and the other is her adult form going by the name Yukihime now these days.
"In the event that you failed in this duty, do NOT return. Take that curse body of yours and perish, we will have no use for you." The black masked man said.
"Of course, big brother." Kuroumaru accepted.
(Flashback End)
"I must defeat you or my clan will never accept me. I'll be doomed to wonder forever." Kuroumaru explained.
"Man, you mentioned that you were cast out by your own family, do you really want to go back to them?" Touta asked.
"If you ask me, I think the only reason they sent on this mission is because they knew you couldn't defeat her and hopefully that she'll get rid of you for them." Touta theorized.
"Shut up! You don't know anything!" Kuroumaru snapped.
"Struck a nerve, did I?" Touta grinned.
"Well, in that case then fight me instead." Touta suggested pointing at him.
"Huh?" Kuroumaru confused.
"The thing about me is I'm not just a vampire, but I also have the power of a devil as well." Touta bragged.
"W-What… a devil?" Kuroumaru shocked.
"He's right, Touta is a different immortal than anything I've been during my 700 years, and if you want to fight then you must defeat Touta." Yukihime said as she sits down.
"Oh, and let's make a bet: the loser will do what the winner says." Touta placed a bet.
"Very well, I must win this fight!" Kuroumaru determined.
(Music-Devils Never Cry: Devil May Cry OST)
The swordsman boy moved so fast he appeared right in front of Touta in an instant for a triple slash attack, but the devil boy has managed to dodge them easy and carelessly much to his opponent's shock.
"Not bad, if I was still a normal human I would've been sliced into pieces by now." Touta complimented.
"You're also very quick to dodge them, I can see this fight won't be easy." Kuroumaru admitted.
"Thanks, but don't you're a 'foot' ahead of me!" Touta punned and threw his shoe.
"What the?" Kuroumaru confused as he dodges the shoe, which was a distraction plan for Touta to get in close and strike with a backward kick right on the face so hard, it left a shoeprint on Kuroumaru's face and pushed him back a few feet.
Touta didn't stop he quickly went after Kuroumaru to get behind him and punch his head before he could react, the vampire-devil then knee-kick on the side before throwing another punch on the head and a strong uppercut. Touta threw a punch to the face, but Kuroumaru caught it in his hand and elbow attack on the face then kick him away, Touta stop himself to see Kuroumaru slash on his right shoulder through the chest, even though Touta can heal from the wounds fast it still hurt a little to feel them.
"Come on, surely you can do better than that!" Touta taunted.
"(Huh, these two are better than I thought.)" Yukihime thought on the boys' fight.
Kuroumaru thrust his sword right through Touta's chest, but he didn't even flinch in the slightest as he continues moving forward
"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORA" Touta unleashed a barrage of punches at Kuroumaru before pushing him away with a headbutt.
"(And it looks like Touta is slowly learning to use his devil power to enhance his strength and speed as well.)" Yukihime noticed that Touta's body has a faint red glowing aura around his body.
"(Man, this guy is strong, I'll have to put everything I got in one blow to end this!)" Touta thought while his punches clash against the sword, which causing blood to spill around them.
"(His style is all over the place, but his battle sense is amazing! Not to mention this devil power of his is making it more difficult for me, but still that won't save him…)" Kuroumaru narrowed his eyes at Touta.
"(From this!)" Kuroumaru sliced through Touta's neck to cut off the head which will cause a vampire to slow down on healing.
"Whoa, I almost felt that." Touta rubbed his neck that his head is still attach, causing Kuroumaru and even Yukihime shock.
"What? But I sliced right through your neck, your head should be rolling on the ground by now!" Kuroumaru gasped.
"Sorry Kuroumaru, but I win!" Touta declared with a powerful punch that pushed Kuroumaru into the ground causing large cracks and debris to raise from the shockwave.
(Music End)
"Man, even though I'm an immortal I actually felt like I was gonna die." Touta sighed.
"That was very impressive, your regeneration healed much faster when Kuroumaru sliced your neck." Yukihime complimented her boyfriend's healing ability.
"Thanks, I just hope I haven't messed up Kuroumaru too badly." Touta worried as he looks down seeing Kuroumaru's body in a bloody mess up state.
"I'm sure he's fine though there are different types of immortal that have different healing powers." Yukihime explained.
Soon, Kuroumaru is all healed up but the only thing that is more injured is his pride and promise to complete the mission because of one boy.
"Good, you're all healed up." Touta said.
"That's an impressive healing ability." Yukihime complimented.
"Just kill me now! Just finish me off why don't you?" Kuroumaru demanded for his life to end since he has no reason to live anymore.
"Idiot, I'm not going to kill you." Touta said.
"Then what is it that you demaned? Wait, it's not gonna be something perverted, is it?" Kuroumaru looked away.
"(Must still be mad about the butt grabbing.)" Touta thought.
"This is my demand." Touta hold out his hand to Kuroumaru much his confusion.
"I want you to be my friend, Kuroumaru." Touta said shocking Kuroumaru.
