Chapter 28
The door was crushed and the woman entered the room where was Wojciechowski, she noticed how Tatsurou and Yukikaze escaped.
"Do you think they will be able to run away?" Shiranui looked at Przemislav with a slight grin.
"Of course they won't." he looked at her, "However, I'll give them an opportunity to move further taking your attention only to me."
Shiranui stepped inside and then suddenly something made her stop.
"What?!" she looked down and saw a seal under her feet.
"I know how to deal with such like you." Przemislav chuckled, "Good thing you've never met humans with mental powers."
"It won't take me for long." Shiranui glanced at him, "So you joy is premature."
"Probably, but I still can do lots of tricks." Przemislav responded her, "I'll hold you for as much as needed."
The Polish went to the door that Tatsurou used and then went into it.
'I'll try to hide their energy and affect her to hunt only me.' he thought and then ran further in a hope to join the boy.
Yukikaze was running from one piece of memory to another one. Her way consisted of bad part of memories, which were connected to her torturing, how demons were play with the woman, and how other scums used drugs and other devices. Yukikaze saw how her mother resisted the torturing and tried to fight back, though all attempts were pointless in the beginning. She was trying to continue her moving as she didn't want how her mother suffered all these years. Yukikaze only but her lip and with tears on her eyes, was rushing to find her mother.
When she entered another door, she saw a spacious room, with luxury decorations a big bed with lot of things around it like sofa, armchairs and etc. Yukikaze saw her mother and the back of some dark skinned man with blonde hair.
"Do you think I'll give up?" Shiranui turned to the man, "If you really think so, I will disappoint you, I'll never betray those whom I love."
"I heard about your resistance." the man squeezed her cheeks, "That's why I'm giving you a chance." he smirked then seeing how still Shiranui was.
"A chance?" Shiranui asked him with a distrusting note in her voice.
Yukikaze came a little closer and knew the man that came to her, it was Incubus King, Kuroi.
"If you can resist me, I'll let you go." Kuroi merely replied her.
"As if I belive in that shit." Shiranui replied to him, "Do you think I'm an idiot?"
"I'm telling you truth." Kuroi replied fast, "I'm a noble demon and I see how you try your best, so why should I lie to you? Defeat me in bed and you'll be able to see your husband and daughter. If you lose I'll have your daughter through you in any case."
"I'll never let you lay your dirty hand on Yukikaze!" Shiranui exclaimed.
'Mom…' Yukikaze thought seeing that even in such position her mother protected her daughter.
"Good." Kuroi pushed Shiranui making her fall on the bed.
The man removed his clothes quickly and took purchase on his hands what made him be above Shiranui. He quickly entered her, what made her give a cry.
"Aren't you ready to give up?" Kuroi chuckled.
"Don't make me laugh!" Shiranui tried to remain still, however it was difficult for her.
"Well and if I do something like this." Kuroi chuckled and squeezed her nipple that was covered under her Taimanin uniform.
"No!" she only exclaimed, "Don't touch them!"
"As I suspected, one of your weak spots." Kuroi smirked and then increased his pace making Shiranui to breathe heavily.
Kuroi quickly took out his member out of Shiranui's lower lips and inserted it into her ass, what made her crankle. Shiranui even stuck out her tongue.
"No! How a demon can…!" she cried out, "Give such pleasure!"
"Surprised?" Kuroi was watching at her with his arrogant eyes, "It's the least of what I demonstrated to you."
"What?!" Shiranui looked at him, she tensed her butt, but it didn't help much, "No, I can't betray my darling…" she moaned.
"Let's how long you'll continue to cling for your darling and daughter." Kuroi chuckled.
The tortured continued and Shiranui was becoming weaker and weaker, while the man still continued to play with her as he wanted.
"I… can't… belive…" she cried, "You… not… came… yet…! Impossible!" S
"Told you, ready to give up or we'll continue?" Kuroi raised his eyebrow and gave her a strong clap at her butt.
"No…" Shiranui twitched from another orgasm, "I won't…"
"Mom…" Yukikaze only mumbled watching at this picture.
"Yukikaze! Please… forgive mommy…" she suddenly heard, "Mommy can hold any longer!"
"You know, somehow I don't belive to you." Kuroi gave another strong clap, "Call me Master and tell me you're ready to abandon your darling and daughter for serving me. Tell me you'll bring me your daughter."
"I…" Shiranui stumbled.
"Just as I thought." Kuroi wasn't glad with such answer.
Shiranui felt how something started to move in her stomach and she cried much louder than before.
"Wait! Don't!" she squeezed the sheet of the bed.
"So? Obey and I'll treat you gentler." Kuroi ordered to her.
"I will… serve you… Woman like me… can't be a wife… or a mother!" Shiranui cried out, "I can't show this face… to Yukikaze! I better be… your slave!"
"Much better, now let's continue." Kuroi slowed down a little, but still didn't finish having his time with the girl's mother.
"Bastard!" Yukikaze exclaimed, she wanted to shot at the man, but didn't do that as she tried to listen to Przemislav's orders, "I'll return you back mom! I promise!" she rushed to another door continuing searching of her mother.
Tatsurou ran from one piece of memory to another his way turned him to peaceful one. He could see her missions, how Shiranui was fighting demons and other enemies mercilessly. Some of the memories were devoted to the training she gave two Akiyama and Yukikaze. He didn't stay long in each memory as there was no point it.
'Auntie, where are you?' Tatsurou asked himself in his head, trying to find the woman, 'I'll find you no matter what.'
When Tatsurou opened another door, he saw Shiranui in front of her, but she was wearing her casual sweater without sleeves.
"What is it, Tatsurou?" Shiranui turned to a little boy that came to the kitchen, "Can't sleep?"
"Yes." a small purpled haired boy nodded.
'It's that day?' the real Tatsurou asked himself.
"Are you concerned about that fail?" Shiranui came to the little boy, "My, my, boys shouldn't react to such things like a simple lost."
"But, I wanted to win over Yukikaze in that game." Tatsurou rubbed his eyes.
"Well, Yukikaze is good in games with guns." Shiranui patted the boy, "And to try to win over her is a really difficult thing as daddy always teaches her that." Shiranui chuckled, "But if you two will play with swords you'll easily beat her."
"Really?" Tatsurou looked at Shiranui.
"Really, Rinko is a good teacher after all." Shiranui smiled, "By the way, how about to have some ice cream before sleeping? We won't tell Yukikaze about it." Tatsurou only nodded and sat at the table and when the woman put a bowl and then put an ice cream into it, the boy started to eat it.
"No need to worry about it." Shiranui smiled continuing patting Tatsurou, "As a boy you should except her winning and only try to become better where you feel you're good."
"Auntie." a little boy stretched out his hand pointing with a spoon with ice cream at her face, "Thank you."
"My, I think daddy will be jealous." Shiranui smiled.
"Really?" Tatsurou was scared a little.
"But we won't tell him about it too." Shiranui ate the ice cream on the spoon, "It'll be our secret."
The real Tatsurou smiled because of that picture and only rushed to another door. Suddenly he rushed out into the corridor.
'Am I outside of her thoughts?' Tatsurou glanced around, but it wasn't the previous corridor as it was much darker and more battered, "Strange, there are no doors." He looked around and started his way again.
He did one turn after another and the corridor become only gloomier and darker. Suddenly, after another turn he saw the only door that was in front of him. He didn't think long and quickly opened it.
Now he could see the same kitchen where he was not long ago, and there was a woman who was standing not far from a sink and was washing dishes. The woman was standing with her back to the boy.
"Auntie?" Tatsurou said indecisively, as if he felt something strange.
The woman flinched and turned around, "Ta… Tatsurou?" Shiranui only whispered dropping a plate onto the floor, "No, it can't be." Shiranui shook with her head, "It must be another nightmare of her."
"No!" Tatsurou protested, "It's really me!" he did a step to the woman, "I along with Yukikaze came here to save you."
"I saw a lot of you and Yukikaze." Shiranui sadly said, "I've grew tired to count them."
"I don't lie to you!" Tatsurou raised his voice, 'If only I knew how to prove her that I'm real.' Tatsurou pondered, "Wait, Yukikaze shot at the ork, and he disappeared. What if I can use that.' Tatsurou exposed his katana, "I will prove you that I'm real." Tatsurou grabbed the blade of his katana and scratched it, "I'm real." Tatsurou showed blood.
"Tatsurou…" woman closed her mouth with her hands, tears started to form on her eyes, she rushed to him and only hugged him, "I can't belive it's really you." she sobbed empowering her hug.
"I'm glad I found you." Tatsurou hugged the woman back, "But the joy is early, we must defeat another Auntie, the bad one."
Hearing that Shiranui became gloomy likewise he also lost all her powers.
"I.. I don't think we'll be able to do that." Shiranui said, "I tried to do that a lot of times, but… I could do nothing against her."
"We are not alone, Yukikaze and our friend will help us." Tatsurou said, "With their help we…"
"I don't think our powers will be enough for fighting her." Shiranui sadly replied, "She will defeat all of us."
"Auntie…" Tatsurou wasn't able to replied as the door of the room where they were, was opened again.
"Mom?!" Yukikaze only said seeing a woman next to Tatsurou, "Is it really you?"
"Yukikaze?" Shiranui couldn't belive to her eyes, the woman could add nothing as Yukikaze rushed and quickly hugged her mother.
"I can't belive, I finally found you!" Yukikaze happily exclaimed her voice trembled and tears started to drop from her eyes.
"Yukikaze." Shiranui squeezed Yukikaze's shoulders also starting crying, "It's really you. I…" she could say anything, but only crying.
"Auntie, Yukikaze this joy will wait." Tatsurou put his hands onto their shoulders, "We must give a fight to that nightmare and only then we'll be able to have as much talking as we want. That Polish needs our help."
"You're right." Yukikaze nodded, "With mom we'll deal with her quickly." Yukikaze glanced at Tatsurou then back at her mother, but Yukikaze only saw flaccid mother, "Mom, what is it?"
"I won't be a big help to you." Shiranui turned her face away, "I'm not that strong Taimanin, I'm just a mere beaten woman, who was turned into a slave and abandoned everything what I was caring about."
"Mom! We need your help!" Yukikaze said to the woman taking her hands into hers, "We did all that way to save you, we were risking with our lives in that brothel. And now when you're with us we can't fail! I want to see your smiles again! I want to hear how ou lecture me and I want to see your cooking and to eat it! I…" Yukikaze started to cry, "I don't belive someone like a demon could break you!"
"I'm sorry." Shiranui sighed, "But it is. I'm just a broken Taimanin and a slave of Incubus King, who is ready to do every command of his."
Yukikaze couldn't listen to such words from her mother, as strong Taimanin in her memory, a strong and kind woman she used to know. Yukikaze gave a slap to her mother.
"Mom!" Yukikaze raised her voice, "The mom I know would never say such bullshit! She would do everything to fight evil no matter it's stronger than her."
"Auntie, we all can fail, but we must fix everything if we have a possibility to do that." Tatsurou came closer and hugged Shiranui and Yukikaze, "And this is the best chance to do it."
Suddenly the door was opened again and Przemislav rushed into the room and started to draw something on the door.
"Finally, I found you." the Polish tried to catch his breath.
"Is that nightmare coming here?" Yukikaze looked at the Polish.
"Yes, I could hold her, but not for long." Wojciechowski replied her finishing his drawing, "So this is your mother, nice to meet you kochanka1." he bowed to her.
"And you're…" Shiranui watched at the man she saw for the first time.
"He is the help I was talking about." Tatsurou said, "He will help us to defeat the bad Auntie."
"Well, the whole work will be on you." Wojciechowski was watching at Shiranui, "After all it's your head, and everything must be done by you, we only support you in fighting."
"I don't think I'll do much." Shiranui lowered her head.
"Did they tell you if you fail we'll all die here?" Wojciechowski asked the young Taimanin.
"What?!" Shiranui couldn't belive to what she'd just heard.
"Our life depends on you, if you want your daughter die, than sit tightly and let your bad side to tear us apart…" he wanted to say something, but then they heard a smash at the door, "Damn, didn't think she will find us that fast." he put his hands onto the door, "You have no other option, but fight!" Przemislav raised his voice, "So, your decision it?" then the door was cracked and Przemislav flew away onto the table, because of the hit.
The Polish broke the table, but then Tatsurou and Yukikaze stood on his protection.
"My, my, how good that you all gained in one place, It'll be much easier for me to deal with you." Shiranui in her battle suit chuckled, "My, do you really think that sow will help you?" the real Shiranui only turned her face away, "I've already taught her good manners, after letting you stay with these bad guys." Shiranui in battle uniform looked at Shiranui in casual clothes.
"If mom could resist then, she'll be able to do that again." Yukikaze pointed her guns at the woman with battle uniform.
"Let's see." evil Shiranui chuckled and rushed to Yukikaze.
Tatsurou protected Yukikaze in time, with his katana. The boy started to attack the woman, but she was only playing with him. Yukikaze didn't wait long and joined her boyfriend, protecting him with her lighting shots.
'Damn she is fast.' Yukikaze didn't like that.
But then Przemislav joined the fight, and the boy started to feel himself more comfortable, as the man took all attention of the evil side of Shiranui.
"Man, I've never fought like this." Wojciechowski exhaled, "If not her trainings I'd be dead."
"Probably, I must fight more seriously?" Shiranui chuckled and hit the boy at his stomach.
"Tatsurou!" the real Shiranui exclaimed.
Then the bad woman kicked the Polish at his chest making him fall onto the floor.
"No, it's your turn." Shiranui looked at Yukikaze.
"As if I lose to someone like you." Yukikaze did another number of shots.
However, they all were fruitless as she didn't got the evil woman dodged them all, and hit Yukikaze with her spear at her stomach making her to bend, then with a high kick she hit her at her head.
"Yukikaze!" the real Shiranui cried out.
"Well, I think you can be reeducated." the evil woman pointed her spear at Yukikaze, "I'll deal with you once and for all, bothersome girl."
"Mom…" Yukikaze only mumbled.
The woman in battle uniform wanted to finish Yukikaze, but her spear was suddenly stopped by another one.
"I won't let you hurt neither Yukikaze nor Tatsurou!" the real Shiranui exclaimed, her casual clothes turned into her battle uniform just like the evil Shiranui had, "If it's needed I'll die myself, but I'll help them."
"What a bothersome sow." the nightmare said, "Well, it seems this fight will be the last for you."
Both Shiranui started fighting, each of them didn't want to give up and tried their best as they only could.
"Which one is the real one?" Tatsurou was watching at the women, "I…"
"The one with warm aura." Wojciechowski replied him fast, "We must help her."
"The hell we're sitting then?" Yukikaze glared at the males angrily, "Mom needs help!" then she did a shot at one of the woman.
"Damn." the bad woman spitted.
"This time, I'll defeat you." the real Shiranui looked at her bad sighed with a pure rage.
Splash, Oleg, Doppel, Haze and Izumi were sitting in the room for a quite long time. Splash and Doppel were talking to each other, while Haze, Oleg and Izumi preferred to be still. Haze was sitting with closed eyes, Izumi was only watching at her enemies, who now were some kind of allies. And Oleg didn't remove his eyes from Przemislav. Izumi also was watching at Oleg, as if she was waiting for his first strike and was about to protect Przemislav, who helped her several times.
"Do you think to hold him when everything is done?" Splash glanced at Oleg.
"I would like to do that." Oleg replied him.
"I won't let you do this." Izumi responded him fast.
"I didn't ask you about it." Oleg answered her, "My will I'd bring you to Taimanin as well, and this traitor Oleg squeezed his fists."
"Do you want a quarrel?" Izumi looked at Oleg.
"Do you think I'm scared of you?" Oleg looked at her.
"Stop you two." Splash started to become angry of these quarrels, "I've already told you, the Polish will go if you don't want this I'll hold you myself."
Oleg replied nothing he only watch at Przemislav who only flinched.
"What was that?" Oleg asked himself as he got up and went to Wojciechowski.
Izumi got up too and stood between Oleg and her Polish comrade.
"I won't harm him." Oleg replied her.
"I don't belive too much to you." Izumi stated, "What is you do something bad to him?"
Oleg wanted to replied something, but then saw how Tatsurou flinched and then Yukikaze. Oleg pushed away Izumi and ran to Shiranui.
"What is it?" Splash looked at him with a surprise.
"I don't know." Oleg put his hand onto Shiranui's head, "But I know it now." he closed his eyes and focused on something, then he quickly opened his eyes, "They're fighting the bad Shiranui."
"What do you mean?" Splash raised his eyebrow.
"Along with good Shiranui they're fighting her evil side." Oleg explained, "However, they can't fight her properly as the evil side is much stronger than real Shiranui."
"We're to help them then!" Doppel joined the talk fast, "What shall we do?"
"I must sneak inside her mind too, and help them from inside." Oleg explained.
"Take us with you then." Doppel said him likewise she ordered to him.
"I'm sorry, but I can take only one person." Oleg said, "Mental powers are not native for me so I can't use them fully."
"Then take me." Splash stepped ahead, "I'm the best in fighting from all of you here." Haze only chuckled at this.
"Shut up flat chested." Splash looked at her angrily.
"Take me." Izumi turned to Oleg, "I owe him so it's a good chance to pay him."
"You're the last person I'll let to go there." Oleg replied to her, but then she squeezed the collar of his uniform.
"You know, I don't care what happened between you two, but I'm here to help you too. So if the life of that Polish is in danger, I'll do my best to save him for helping me."
"Wow, a girl has a temper." Splash chuckled, then looked at Oleg, "Take us both."
"I told you, if I take you two, I won't be able to fight there." Oleg said to Splash, "I'll be an extra person there."
"Who asks you to fight?" Izumi looked at answered him, "We'll help them ourselves, while you'll say somewhere aside."
"Yeah, your help won't be needed." Splash smirked.
Oleg wanted to retort, but saw their firm and serious eyes, he understood that discussion is ended and nothing could be done for reasoning them.
"Well if you understand the consequences , I can't persuade you any longer." Oleg sighed, "Sit here." he pointed at the place next to Shiranui.
Oleg sat next to the Woman, while Izumi and Splash sat next to the Russian teacher. He took Izumi's hand who took then Splash's, and with the other hand Oleg took Shiranui's.
'The difficult part is beginning.' Oleg thought and then focused trying to find Shiranui's mind.
They all opened their eyes, and saw a long corridor with lots of doors. The Russian teacher fell onto the floor immediately.
"Damn, didn't know I'll be weakened like that." Oleg spitted.
"Will you be fine here?" Splash asked the Russian.
"Yeah, go and find them." Oleg focused and turned his head to his right, "They're in that direction, just try to sense the energy and you'll find the needed place."
Splash and Izumi nodded and rushed by the needed route.
"I'll join you after gaining powers." Oleg said when they were about to enter some piece of memory.
Tatsurou, Yukikaze, Wojciechowski and real Shiranui, had difficulties in fighting the evil part of Shiranui, they tried their best, but the woman seemed could affect Shiranui somehow. Przemislav decided stop fighting and examine their current state.
'It seems she effect on her somehow. She suppresses her powers or…' the Polish pondered, 'If it's really so, then how we should destroy the bond between them?'
"A little help would be a good thing!" Yukikaze exclaimed trying to gun down the woman, who created several clones.
"I can't create clones!" the real Shiranui exclaimed.
'I see.' Przemislav nodded, 'She must tear the bond with her evil side.' Przemislav joined the battle.
"It seems our Shiranui is too weak to fight herself?" the nightmare chuckled.
"Shut up!" Shiranui only replied and parried the lunge of her evil side.
Some of clones were destroyed by Tatsurou's wind, another part with Yukikaze's lightings. However the fight didn't become easier. However they were surprised when two clones were killed by someone else.
"Splash!" Yukikaze shouted with a joy.
"Izumi?" Wojciechowski was surprised too, "But how… Oleg." he only smiled, 'Nice to see he could bring two people to someone's head.'
"Don't relax!" Splash commanded, "We shall fight nothing more?"
"Yeah, just help the real Shiranui too." Wojciechwski explained, "Feel her energy and you'll understand who is who."
Izumi started to teleport from one ally to another trying to save their backs, her protection focused on Yukikaze and Przemislav. The first one had problems in close combat so Izumi saw when to help, and also was trying to protect her helper, who helped her in several situations. Tatsurou and Splash protected each other back and helped Shiranui from time to time.
After some period of time Izumi did a mistake and appeared next to Shiranui.
"It seems someone is done." the evil woman smirked.
"Shit!" Izumi didn't know how to protect herself, but unexpectedly for her some dagger pierced the back of some Shiranui, what made her to turn into water.
"Sensei!" Yukikaze and Tatsurou saw the man, who didn't seem well.
"The hell you're doing here?" Oleg was not seem glad of what he saw, he dodged the lunge of the clone and hid behind Tatsurou and Splash also ordering his dagger to return to him.
"We're trying to defeat false mom!" Yukikaze explained him.
"Before defeating her, she must accept what have done to her before!" Oleg shouted, "It's pointless to fight her as she feeds with her scare and the sense of blame that Shiranui feels!"
"That's how she suppresses her powers!" Przemislav exclaimed, "But how did you know that?"
"Longs story…" Oleg breathed out, "Przemislav empower me, I'll explain Shiranui everything!"
"Understood." the man nodded and jumped to Oleg, he put his hand onto his shoulder and after several second Oleg got up.
Oleg turned to the fight of two Shiranui, and said.
"Can you hold the bad one for some minutes?" Oleg asked Splash, "I'll borrow the real Shiranui."
"Not a problem." the man with double sword replied him.
"You, teleport me to Shiranui!" he ordered to Izumi the girl jumped to him and did what was told.
When Oleg was next to Shiranui he grabbed her for her arm and both of them disappeared leaving the team to fight the nightmare and her clones alone.
Oleg and Shiranui appeared in a white space where nothing was. Shiranui only looked puzzled at Oleg.
"Our acquaintance will wait." Oleg replied her, as if he predicted her question, "I'm the teacher of your daughter and Tatsurou." he only replied, "The most important for you is to understand how to defeat your other side."
"You told she feeds with my fear and the sense of blame." Shiranui only whispered.
"Correct." Oleg nodded, "You're trying to avoid them or to resist them, while you're to accept them."
"What?" Shiranui looked at him with astonished eyes, "The hell I can accept them, you want to accept that I wanted to hurt Yukikaze? That I was in charge of capturing some Taimanin, in charge of causing lots of other trouble?"
"I don't mean you must forget them likewise there was nothing. I mean to accept them in order to correct them."
"I don't understand you." Shiranui sighed.
Oleg exhaled and snapped with his fingers. There appeared a woman with red hair in a battle uniform that was similar to his and to Wojciechwski.
"This woman is my friend." Oleg started, "She, you and I have the same problem, we were trapped and then tortured by these two men." he snapped again and there appeared a man with a dark purple uniform with clawed gloves, and a man with gray hair and doctor's robe.
"We were much younger, then you were. We were saved at the end, but still she has a lot of scars in her mind and heart, because she was betrayed by her brother." he pointed at man in dark purple uniform, he snapped again and the people disappeared, and now there was a lab.
There were two young people who were tied well on a surgery tables, and a man with doctor's robe was walking around them.
"How lovely to torture young instances." the man said to them, "The sounds you give are much more sincere than elder people give."
"Fucking, bastard." the girl exclaimed, "When we'll be found, I'll kill you."
"Such a language, from a beautiful girl." the man chuckled, and squeezed her cheeks, "I think I should teach you how to speak with elder people."
"Touch her and you're dead!" the boy shouted at the man tried to break free.
"Don't worry, I'll come to you later." the man chuckled.
Then the door was opened and a man in dark and purple uniform entered the laboratory.
"Do you want to join torturing of your sister?" he asked the newcomer.
"I've came to see you won't kill them, Etienne." the man answered to Etienne.
"Brother!" the girl exclaimed, "Why are you doing this?!"
"Anatoly, please! Help us!" the boy did absolutely the same.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in it." Anatoly replied to both of them, making the scared and trembling, "I decided to join another people."
"What are you talking about?!" the girl continued shouting in the same manner, but then Etienne injected something into her shoulder.
"What did you…?" the girl exclaimed also starting to breathe heavily.
"I want to see how teen's body will be able to resist to my drugs." Etienne licked his lips, "I think you won't be able to resist for long."
"Etienne don't break them we need them in their mind." Anatoly replied making his voice a little concerned to the destiny of two teens.
"Yeah, yeah, I remember the leader wanted to sell them to someone else." Etienne nodded, "I won't just have a little interest."
"Maria!" the boy exclaimed, "Hold on, I'm with you!"
"Oleg…" she breathed out as if she felt hot right now.
Oleg snapped out with his fingers and everything disappeared bringing them back to white corridor.
"Now, Maria blames her for betraying of her brother." Oleg replied, "Probably she understands that it wasn't her fault, but can't do anything with it. I was in your head and saw some of your memories." Oleg came to her, "You suffered a lot, but you must accept this suffering in order to prevent the attempt of that again."
"Do you think I can do it?" Shiranui asked Oleg indecisively, "I lost and…"
"You're a strong woman, each of us can fail, I know strong hunters who failed, some of them couldn't come back in action, but there also were those who could and I admire them a lot for that. You don't think you want to be in the number of those who gave up." Oleg stated, "For Yukikaze and Tatsurou and for those who are helping to return you, the real you back to Yukikaze."
Shiranui smiled, "My, my, such words from a strange, do you have a crush on me since you tell such words?"
"I…" Oleg wanted to protest, but saw her smile and understood her joke, "Nice try, but I have someone who I think is cute." Oleg parried her, "So? Are you ready?" he asked her after a minute.
"Yes, I'll do my best for you all." Shiranui replied him and then they appeared back in the room where the fight was.
The group started to give their positions as the clones gave them a lot of troubles. The nightmare Shiranui looked at the real one and chuckled.
"Want your ass to be kicked again?" she chuckle.
"After I get your." the real one replied back with a chuckle, she stretched her hand out and exclaimed, "Stop!" all clones stopped and then turned back into water.
"What?" the false Shiranui was amused of such thing.
"She is nothing, but your sense, which you can control." Oleg tried to encourage her, "You're the only one who must control this brain."
"Yeah, and this bad girl need to be punished a lot for giving so much troubles." Shiranui replied with a chuckle.
"Mom, you're back!" Yukikaze was glad seeing the mother she used to know, "Kick her ass."
"Do it Auntie!" Tatsurou tried to cheer up the woman.
'He is right; they're those whom I must protect.' Shiranui smiled, the room where they were started to vanish and the floor started to turn into water, 'I'm a worthless coward if I give up and won't protect them and those who did this long way till here." she squeezed the hilt of her spear tighter, and then rushed at the woman that had her appearance.
The fight began again, but this time it seemed equal as the real Shiranui gave her all to the fight. However neither of them used clones, but still they were creating water weapons in order to kill each other from the distance.
Yukikaze didn't wait long and joined the fight along with Tatsurou, Przemislav was empowering Oleg again, as the man started to feel himself bad, Izumi was protecting him, while Splash tried to help Yukikaze and Tatsurou.
'I must try to weaken her somehow.' the real Shiranui thought, 'I must accept all what happened to me, and only live further for all.'
The bad woman bowed, "Damn…" she spitted, "You won't defeat me…"
"This time I'll kill you myself." the real Shiranui said.
"Let's see." the nightmare woman chuckled.
Yukikaze destroyed the water spear that was aimed at her boyfriend, but suddenly another one was aimed at her from behind.
"Yukikaze!" Oleg shouted in a hope to warn the girl.
"What?!" Yukikaze turned around and saw how something closed her and in next moment fell, "Splash?" Yukikaze didn't understand what has happened, she over went him and was scared as man's stomach was penetrated with a water spear.
"Just in time…" he coughed with blood.
"No!" Yukikaze exclaimed.
"Splash!" Oleg shouted as he tried to get up.
"It seems one of you is dead." the woman chuckled, but then suddenly her chest was pierced with a spear too, but with a real one, which was in Shiranui's hands.
"You will pay for all of your crimes." Shiranui gritted through her teeth, "I will not let myself to do them again."
"Stupid sow…" the woman spitted, "I'll…"
Shiranui took out her spear and chopped the head of the evil Shiranui. When the separated parts fell onto the water the corpse turned into dust.
"Splash!" Yukikaze ran to the man when everything was done, "Hang on, we'll help you!"
"Sorry… girl…" Splash spitted with blood, "I'm don't think… I'll live… this time…"
"Just wait." Tatsurou looked at Oleg and Przemislav, "Sensei! Use your powers on him!"
"Sorry, kid." Przemislav sighed, "But he is done, we're not surgeons to help him."
"No way!" Tatsurou looked at the wounded comrade, "But then…"
"Don't panic…" Splash coughed, "I thought… I'll die… on a mission…" he was lying on his back, "After all… could repay… my debt…" Yukikaze sobbed, even Tatsurou did the same, "Live… for me… and 'Red Division'… for all you… love… live…"
Przemislav can to the man, and put his hand onto his shoulder.
"Now, you'll see your sister." Wojciechowski said in another language, "Go you earned peace."
"I'm coming, sis…" Splash only smiled and closed his eyes.
Teats dropped from Yukikaze's eyes, Tatsurou covered her with his hands. The man who was a stranger for them, but became a good partner and a friend for them during such small period of time, couldn't be forgotten easily. Shiranui came to her daughter and put her hand onto the shoulder of her daughter.
"Well, it's time to return back." Wojciechowski said, "Now, I can bring us back to our world." he snapped with his fingers and Oleg did the same.
Everyone opened their eyes and looked at each other, they released each other hands. The only one who fell down was Splash who had blood on his lips. And Shiranui who still was continuing to sit in the same position.
"Guys you…" Doppel was glad to see that everyone back, but she was scared when saw how Splash fell onto the floor, she ran to him bend in order to see what was with him, "Hey, it's not funny." Doppel said with a worried voice.
Przemislav put his hand onto her shoulder and only shook with his head.
"No!" Doppel exclaimed, "How? I don't belive! How he died?"
"He protected me." Yukikaze said with a lowered voice, "If not him I'd be dead." Yukikaze mumbled.
Doppel looked at her with scared eyes, then back at Splash. The only one who stayed still was Haze, even Izumi showed some concern about the man's death.
"Oleg." the Polish turned to the man, "I'll go now, my work is done, so I have nothing to do here." he looked at Shiranui, "She is sleeping right now. I think she will awake soon so you'll have time to bring her to their base." Oleg nodded, "And I also want to give you this." Przemislav took out a battered notebook out of his tunic, "Read it, I think it'll help with your problem."
"What do you mean?" Oleg didn't understand him.
"With your mental problems." Wojciechowski said, "I wanted to give you long ago, but sorry for not giving you that when you needed it." Wojciechowski clapped him by his shoulder, "Izumi, we're leaving."
"Understood." the girl nodded and ran to him.
"I hope next time we meet you'll be able to use them." Wojciechowski smiled sadly, "Do zobaczenia później2."
Oleg only watched at the man, but replied nothing, when they left the flat. He came to the group.
"We must go." Oleg said, "The best thing for us is to go to your base." he looked at Haze, "I think, you'll let me go there too?"
"You're a friend of ours." Haze answered him, "So, why not?"
"I'll take his body." Doppel wiped tears from her eyes, "I'm the only one who can do that." she watached at the boy and the girl, "I'll take your mother." she said to Yukikaze.
"I'll go myself." Oleg replied her with a lowered voice.
Doppel nodded and put Splash's breathless body onto her back. They all left the flat and quickly headed to their shelter.
Their way wasn't long as they tried to hurry. The team didn't say even a single word to each other. Everyone was upset and suppressed, because of Splash's death. Oleg told Yukikaze not to worry about her mother, as she was only sleeping, and he will check her state when she awake. At least this made Yukikaze happy but not much. The way to the base seemed eternal, but they finally reached it.
"Nice to meet you, guys!" Avalanche gritted them all, but then saw they were upset, "What has happened?" he looked at their upset expressions.
"Splash… is dead…" Doppel sobbed putting him into the middle of the corridor next to the wall nwhat gave him an opportunity not to fall.
"What?!" Avalanche exclaimed.
"What is it?" Commander went out of the corridor, he looked at the group and at Splash who was taken purchase onto the wall. The frowned his eye, "How he died?" there was the only question, his voice was questioning, but not excited as if he had already saw a lot of deaths of his comrades.
"He took the strike that I had to take." Yukikaze mumbled, "If not my stupidity, he would…"
"Yukikaze…" Tatsurou didn't know what to say.
However, Yukikaze felt how a hand of a man laid onto her head. Commander sighed and then took the floor.
"Honestly, I knew he will die when he decided to help you in the beginning." Commander said with a firm tone, however it was possible to hear concern about the man who died, "He wanted to repay you the debt he and we had in front of Yasuhiro. There also were a lot of things he wanted to die because of."
"But…" Yukikaze looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"Don't cry, he knew what he was going to do, and understood the risks." Cyclopes replied her, "Probably I got used to lose comrades, probably I'm not emotional, but for you there's no need to cry."
"Go and have a rest, we'll deal the last things." Haze told to Yukikaze and her group.
They young hunters nodded and then went further the corridor.
"Avalanche, inform all members of 'Division' about Splash's death." he looked at the younger man who was sad of the view, "Professor, I know you're here, you know what to do."
A lizard man went out of the corner.
"Don't worry, I'll do whatever is needed." Professor answered him came to the dead man and then disappeared with him.
"I think he is in better world now." Commander raised his head, "I hope you'll see your sister now." the one eyed man turned around and when by the route the Taimanin and the Russian went leaving Avalanche, Doppel and Haze alone.
Avalanche hugged Doppel and decided to bring her to a free room, while Haze decided to go somewhere else.
Haze went along the corridors, she decided to separate from Commander and walked to the room, where she was thinking must be Drunkard. When she came to the needed room she opened the door and saw a man, who was doing something next to the table.
"Good that you're still here." Haze said attracting attention of the man, "However, I thought you've already left."
"No, just decided to rest and then to go." Drunkard turned around, "If you're here, that means…" he looked at her eyes.
"Yes, we dealt with Shiranui's problem, the kids are going to put her in bed to let her rest." Haze explained.
"You seem upset." the man told to Haze, "Has something happened?"
"Splash is dead." Haze only sighed, "Yukikaze told he saved her in her mother's head from death."
"Really?" Drunkard didn't seem upset as if he knew that it will be happened, "His friendship with Yasuhiro was really impressive." the man sat onto the bed, "And belive I knew he would die for his daughter, when we started to help her."
"Aren't you said?" Haze asked him sitting next to him, her voice still was serious and there were no exciting notes in it.
"Difficult to say." Drunkard sighed, "Both of us saw death much more than everyone here, I think only Commander can be compared to us."
"Here you right." Haze looked at the floor, "Will you go to his farewell?"
"I don't know." the man shrugged with his shoulders, "If boss calls me, I'll go, if not then why I should be there? I didn't work with him that much and didn't know him well."
"I think you should go." Haze wasn't rude like always, "After all, you're a second person after Cyclopes here and your ass must be there too."
"If I'd die, would you be upset?" Drunkard asked her.
"Why such questions?" Haze looked at him puzzled.
"What would you feel?" Drunkard ignored her question.
"I don't know." Haze shrugged with her shoulders, "But you and Strom are the most important people to me." Haze put her head onto his shoulder, "We saw and passed through a lot of dangers together and the missions we did… You're the only two about whom I'll miss." Haze said with a sad smile.
"However, you chose Storm." Drunkard sighed, "Do you have some feelings to me?"
"Don't start it." Haze's voice became a little stricter, "I admire you for saving me, but my feelings belong to Storm."
"Storm… Mystic suits him better." Drunkard chuckled, "Did you go to Serbia because of him?"
"Because of money." Haze only replied him, "You know that better than anyone." there was silence then, but Haze decided to prevent it, "How much of us there now?"
"Four people." Drunkard only sighed, "One is an exception."
"I think we must gather again." Haze looked at him, "To drink and remember what as with us in Yugoslavia."
"Do you really think so?" Drunkard asked the woman, "As I remember you're the only one who did want to spend money on that." he chuckled, "I hope you counted Vereshagin too."
"Yes, after all he is the one who helped your country." Haze replied, "By the way, Stephan?" Haze asked him, "How do you think will we be able to become the team we were?"
"I don't know." Stephan, whose nickname was Drunkard replied, "I'd like it to be so one day, but it seems that it won't happen."
"I see." Haze only replied and felt something warm on her cheek.
"Being upset doesn't suit you." Stephan smiled after kissing her cheek, "Maybe it's not what you want to hear but being quarrelsome suits you better."
"By the way did you have sex there? Don't lie to me." Haze's casual voice returned.
"As I remember, it was my work wasn't it?" Drunkard looked at the woman, "And Storm…"
"While he isn't here, I'm with you." Haze answered him, "I hope you won't fuck any other bitch for some time."
He wanted to replied something, but his lips were shut by Haze's ones. She fell him onto the bed and then started to remove his greatcoat and a shirt, which was under it.
"I hope you're ready to give me the same pleasure you gave those sluts." she broke their kiss.
"I'll treat you much better than them." Drunkard replied putting his hand onto her breast.
Kuroi was walking by the streets of Tokyo Kingdom in a fast pace. He didn't pay attention to what was happening around him, some people and demons looked at him, while the other preferred to ignore him. Incubus King seemed thoughtful and irritated, however his walk was firm and decisive, likewise he knew what he was going to do.
His way was leading him toward a tall skyscraper that became closer and closer to him. It's sight was magnificent, however all his thoughts were devoted to something else, but not to the skyscraper.
'Right now, Black is the only person who can help me.' Kuroi pondered, 'Probably if Celine came to me Atke could come to him. How she named him? Walter as I remember.' Kuroi tried to remember his talk with Celine.
Little by little, but he came to the skyscraper and saw two demons in front of the doors.
"Who's there?!" one of them commanded to introduce the intruder.
Kuroi came to them, but replied nothing, when the Incubus King came to them. One ork put his hand onto Kuroi's shoulder.
"I told ya to name ya name!" the ork commanded.
"Man!" another demon, who was a werewolf, stopped the ork, "It's… It's Incubus King."
"What?" the ork was scared of what he'd just heard.
"I need to talk with Black." Kuroi turned to demons with cold voice, "I hope someone of you will lead me there."
"I will." the werewolf was too scared to oppose the tanned man in front of him.
They entered the building. All who were inside were surprised of such a view, that werewolf was in a company of some man. However Kuroi didn't expose his aura in order to conceal his presence from Black.
They came to the lift and the werewolf along with Kuroi entered. The demon pressed the button of the last floor. Their way continued, the demon felt him uncomfortable, while Kuroi didn't pay attention to a low demon. However they finally came to the needed floor and werewolf guided Incubus King till the Black's office.
"I don't know, probably he has a meeting." Kuroi gave a sign, and werewolf knocked, the monster opened the door and looked into the office, "Lord Black." the demon saw three people inside the office among with Black one was pink haired woman with dark skin, the second person was another woman, but with short purple hair and white skin in a red outfit, and the third one was a with a calvity in the middle of his head, he had strange suit, which was similar to noble men in the mediaeval Europe.
"How dare you to interrupt us!" the woman with oink hair exclaimed seeing a werewolf, however the werewolf could answer her as the monster was pushed aside and Kuroi entered the office.
"What the…?" the man in a strange costume as surprised along with the woman in red uniform.
"I hope I didn't interrupt you." Kuroi looked at Black who was sitting in his armchair, the pink haired woman who was standing next to him, stood in a battle stance.
"How dare you to come here."
"Ingrid." Black's voice interrupted Ingrid of stupid actions then he watched at the man, "What have brought you here?"
Kuroi looked at the man and the other woman with purple hair.
"Will they stay with us?" Kuroi asked Black with a cold voice.
"Demands on what you have in mind." the gray haired vampire replied him.
"Let's just say, our former times brought me here." the Incubus King answered, "When we were the disciples."
Black tensed, "Fulst, Oboro." he turned to the man and the woman that were standing in front of him, "You're free, returned to your work."
"Yes." Fulst and Oboro replied him and left the room with wonder and excitement.
"And what about her?" Kuroi looked at Ingrid.
"I trust her like myself, so she will stay here." Black's voice was as cold as Kuroi's, however it was possible to see slight blush on Ingrid's cheeks.
"I see." Kuroi nodded still continuing to stay, "Can I ask you? Have you already saw Atke?"
"Atke?" Ingrid asked out loud.
"Yes, his name is Walter now." Black responded.
'That man that came to us, and who I saw fighting with that man with cloak and hood.' Ingrid understood the subject of their talk.
"I've seen Celine." Kuroi replied fast.
"So he is with her after all." Black frowned, "Somehow, I knew that."
"And she also told me that Tyngak is also here." this time Kuroi saw excitement on Black's face, even Ingrid felt it, "Do you understand what that means?"
"The second line is here in full number." Black nodded but added nothing.
"Your actions?" Kuroi asked him, "I hope you won't sit tightly after coming of Atke."
"If the second line is here what's your ideas on fighting it?" Black asked Kuroi too, "Even if we join all our forces I don't think we'll be able to defeat them it was difficult for us to take down the forth and the sixth lord of the third line, do you think we'll be able to defeat them?"
"So you prefer to stay here and wait what they will do?" Kuroi asked the man, "Don't you think we'll be the first ones whom they want to avenge for our betrayal."
"You want to fight them, but do you understand that we don't have enough power to oppose them?" Black asked him again.
"So, do you reject fighting them? Are you sacred of Walter?" Kuroi asked the man in front of him, "As I remember you and Teutates were the only ones who were bold every time."
"To be bold and to be a suicide are different things." Black replied, "I'm surprised that you decided to fight against them."
"If I was cowardly in the past towards battle, it doesn't mean I'm like that now." Kuroi responded, "I fought Celine, and you? Did you fight Atke?" Black tensed, "If you don't want to help me, I'll find those who will join me. After all, my second mentor told, the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
"Do you want to join forces with Taimanin?" Edwin asked him raising his eyebrow, "Do you think they will join you, especially after what you did to Shiranui?"
"They could take her back." Kuroi said honestly, "So she is a Taimanin again." Black replied nothing to that, "The good thing about me is that I know as much as you know, and my knowledge can be valuable for them."
"Even we don't know a lot about our masters." Black stated.
"However, we know a lot of what was happening to them during those years." Kuroi answered, "So, think about it, if you're scared than sit and don't show you. But I don't want to be tortured." he turned around and went to the door, "Think careful with who you want to be, but knowing you, I know, you won't beg Atke to spare you." Kuroi opened the door and left the office leaving Black with Ingrid.
The woman didn't know what to say, while Black was deep thoughts about what was happened.
'To join forces with Taimanin…' Black only thought leaning onto the back of his chair.
