Episode # 6 - A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

Phase # 6 – Love

It is her! The human woman I fell in love with and capture my heart after saving my life from the battle Shiro, Mephisto, and I did years ago. I have found her as she has for me too – Kagome…Oh, how lovely she looks still from the first time we meant with each other a while back for her and me; for I am so happy she remembers me too, as Kagome was happy to be seeing me in person once again for I've told her everything on why I ran away from my father. No! Rather the Shadow King in Gehenna to now live peacefully and protect the human from any bad demons that sneak there was in Assiah. I swore on my life that will be doing that even more as I owe my friends so much and for Kagome to except me as a demon to love me on who I am, to also forget about my so call father to be no more but a selfish one he really is compare to Satan himself. From here on out…This is my new life now with Kagome.

And…Scene!

Talk about a crazy day so far, huh? Well, it's only getting worse. How bad? With many reasons, why…As Rin was in a jail type of cell to listen to the letter that Tatsuma left for him to read for Yukio to read it all and Shura to listen in; as Bon's father was in a hurry to do something in the woods 'for Juzo was following him', leaving Todo and Mamushi with the Right Eye in making their escape with it as the Shadow Demons who aided them. Only for a type of wolf name Mifo and a pack of Shadow Demon Wolves surround Bon, Shima, Izumo, Miwa, Shiemi, and Kiyomi back at the village of the main Myoda Sect home...And who was the Shadow Queen person for the Shadow King wanted some of the powers to himself for?

Well, why don't worry on what happens on the other things until then for Kiyomi's survival against lots of Shadow Wolves and their pack leader. How will the other six get of this mess and keep everyone else safe from the danger?

"Master's half breed granddaughter…" Mifo spoke up to be showing his teeth.

The others stand clear as Bon kept his guard up for guarding Kiyomi always; as everyone else watch themselves.

"(These wolves are after Saki…?)" Bon said to try fighting back. "Saki! Get behind me!"

"What?" she was confused. He pulls Kiyomi to stand by Bon's side.

"I mean it! You guys! Watch yourselves! These are armies who work for the Shadow King!"

This shocks Izumo, Shima, Miwa, and Shiemi.

"No way…"

"Wolves are part of the Shadow King's team!?"

"This is really bad!"

Now the Shadow Wolves weren't going to let the five get in their way to try killing them to get to Kiyomi.

"Wait! You guys can't face these things alone!" Kiyomi said. "Rin, Shura, and I fought against three other ones! Don't do it!"

"Are you sure, Kiyomi?" ask Shiemi. "(She sounds very serious about all of this…)"

The Shadow Wolves were growling, showing their teeth, stayed as a group, bark, and Mifo howls to give his members an order for there was nowhere to run or hide at with many other lives in danger for Kiyomi, Bon, and the others must avoid them not to do to anyone – even to Rin and Yukio either. Stopping them 'somehow' comes first. Bon gives Miwa and Shima a sign to get near the floor carefully on different sides of it.

"Shima…Kohamaru…Get ready."

With Miwa wanting to help his friends and Shima too 'though he looked very scared', still he uses his staff for Miwa and Bon touch the floor to chant a spell and for Shima to use his weapon to create a shield to shock the wolves hard. Allowing Kiyomi to use her 'borrow' weapon to whip Mifo away from her and her friends in time to get hit, but gets back up in seconds on his four legs and was mad to try breaking the spell. Hurry up and escape now!

"Everyone! Get outside! We must lead them away from the other people!" she said. "Let's go!"

Son the six runs outside of the hotel building for Mifo frees his pack to go after Kiyomi and the others to make a run for it 'even Shima was running away like a silly person was'. While Bon was holding Kiyomi's hand to keep her safe and the others to follow them from behind to run fast.

"Bon! They're still chasing after us!" Miwa said while running. "How are we going to stop them!?"

"I don't want to become dog food!" Shima was screaming his head off.

"Less complaining and more running, thank you very much!" said Izumo to try running with the outfit she was wearing was slowing her down.

Those three were right, they couldn't out run the Shadow Wolves for long or Kiyomi using her whip-like staff to push the other Shadow Demons aside to keep on coming back or slow down Mifo for long. So Bon stops his friends from running for the girls stopped to for they were confused on what they had in mind, and not letting them die alone.

"Bon!?" Miwa and Shima were lost.

"What are you doing, Bon!?" Kiyomi demanded to know. "We need to keep moving!"

For Bon borrows Shima's staff to use to smack the Shadow Wolves away from them enough for Miwa to see the plan to start chanting a type of attack as Shima tries using paper spells too, leaving Izumo to get Kiyomi away from the fight.

"Hey, Kamiki! You know what to do, keep Saki safe from these ugly bastards!"

"Right!" Izumo gets out her two white foxes to create power fire to burn the rest away from the powerful light. "Hey, Moriyama!"

Looks like Izumo throws Kiyomi to go with Shiemi next.

"Hey! Izumo!" Kiyomi complains. "Watch it! I'm not a football here!"

Shiemi catches her in time.

"Yes?" answer Shiemi.

"Don't you just stand there to be eaten! Get Kiyomi out of danger right away! We got this." she said. "Alright, you two! I command that your fire protects these two!"

They understood as Shiemi had to be strong too to get her powers back and Nii real soon, she needs to help her friend. For now, she keeps Kiyomi close to her to make another run for it as the other four fights back.

"But, you guys…!"

Bon stops Kiyomi from saying anything else.

"Just shut up and get out of here with Moriyama while we stop these things! I swore that I will protect you, Saki! Just take my word for it, quit playing the hero, and start running!"

Wow…Bon was serious to be showing his feelings towards Kiyomi 'without admitting it of course'. Leaving Shiemi starts to run and keeps her best friend Kiyomi safe 'as she will prove to herself to be strong and hopes that Rin will be just fine too for her and Kiyomi's sakes', she wanted this to happen. Sort of…

"Come on, Kiyomi, you heard them. I'll save you." Shiemi said to be grabbing any weapon like a long flashlight. "This way!"

And so Kiyomi goes along with it without losing control from the curse.

"(In that case… Zuku, keep an eye out. It's the least you can do.) Alright, Shiemi, but I'll cover you!"

"Just stay close!"

As the two started to run for more Shadow Wolves to go after them, leaving Izumo, Shima, and Miwa to stop the other ones in time…As Bon whacks Mifo hard to the hit to get weak from the staff's touch from the power of light against the darkness.

"Hold it, you!" said Bon. "You got to get through me first if you want anything to do with Saki, Okumura, and our teacher. So bring it on!"

And so…the fight begins for Bon gives it his all against Mifo form his sharp fur, claws, and teeth to hurt Bon for he won't give up. While Miwa and Shima using so many spells while beating up the other Shadow Wolves as Izumo does the same too; leaving Shiemi to throw her weapon at them and Kiyomi whipping and pushing them aside with her staff to be reaching out so much…Not bad to be fighting while running away.

"Go away, you bad wolves! Go! Go! Kiyomi's my friend!"

Nice fighting back, Shiemi. While Kiyomi does the same to be pulled by one of them tries to gather her with their shadow powers…Not good.

"Hey! Let go!" Kiyomi couldn't fight back to stop the curse. "(Don't come out…Don't come out, please…!)"

Working so far…But who will save Kiyomi now since everyone else had their hands tied and Zuku couldn't do anything but to watch? Shiemi feared her friend to grab a long sheet of blanket 'that was being hug to dry', to cover the Shadow Demons to be trapped and flash her flashlight on them at point blank.

"No!" she fights back. "Stay away from my friend!"

Wow! They just turned into dust of wind to melt away in seconds in pain. Nice one! For Kiyomi was amazed by Shiemi's work.

"Wow, Shiemi…Did you…?" shock Kiyomi. "Not bad." she soon had an idea. "Do it again and I'll grab some sheets to cover the rest of them."

She likes this idea to get a few more sheets.

"Good idea, Kiyomi!"

Looks like the two fought back now against the rest of the wolves 'as well as Kiyomi's arm to heal back up to see some red flames around her', how so? Kiyomi whips, hits, covers, and Shiemi to flash away. Allowing Izumo, Miwa, and Shima to finish the rest of the pack in seconds for some to back up – leaving Mifo to face against Bon alone.

"You go, girls." he said to be smirking. "Now it just you and me."

Bon wasn't backing down from Mifo to still get the beating at him, though he won't go down. Before the others could do anything or Kiyomi to rush back to his side…

"Bon's in danger!"

Shiemi had to still protect her without leaving her sight.

"Ah! Kiyomi! Wait up!" she said to be in a hurry.

Bon couldn't fight back for long against Mifo 'being the powerful Shadow Demon Wolf and leader of the pack', only for some gun fire started shooting at the wolf to be in pain by the help from the…the mysterious old man!? Again!? Well, he does save Bon and the others right away; for Shiemi and Kiyomi to see that everyone else was too…Leaving Mifo to howling to call his pack to retreat 'for the time being' for they will be back. It was only the beginning of that battle to be far from over just yet but good that Kiyomi was saved and without using her powers due to the curse. Close call!

"What the what-!?" Bon was confused.

Kiyomi sees the man again to be happy to save the others, but still look like he was sad to be showing himself in public.

"(Hey! It's him and…He saved us? Just who is this person?)" Kiyomi ask herself. "(I feel like I know him…)"

Soon he just walks off for Kiyomi to follow him.

"Kiyomi?" Shiemi sees her friend leaving. "Where are you going?"

"I'm fine now, Shiemi! The demons are gone; I feel it out so we're good. I need to check on something! So please watch over the others now and I'll be right back!"

"Okay…?"

As Shiemi watch Kiyomi taking off in a hurry 'but was happy that she did some good for Shiemi to be smiling', Bon got mad to go after her again.

"Saki? Oh, come on! Again with this!?" he follows her. "Get back here!"

"Bon! Wait!" Shima tries calling out to his friend. "You're too hurt!"

Well, that didn't work. As Shima, Miwa, Izumo, and Shiemi headed back inside of the hotel to clean up – at least all was well to be more worry about more Shadow Demons on the loose to be more worry about Rin's situation too.

"Bon! Saki!" Miwa stops Shima from doing anything else.

"Don't Shima, they'll be fine. Knowing Bon, he does care for us to being his friends after all." he said. "They'll come back."

"That's not what I'm worry about…! He's hitting on my Saki!"

Really, Shima? Izumo hits him on the head a little.

"Oh, shut it." she said to be worried about Kiyomi too. "(God, this is getting bad. From Shadow Demons, their king, Kiyomi's curse, and now Rin in serious trouble from his powers…What else could go wrong this time?)"

You can say that again, Izumo…Again, this was only the beginning. As we get back to Yukio reading to Rin and Shura about Tatsuma writing about the sword, Shiro, his past, and so on. For there was a lot more to tell about.

"I don't believe it…" Yukio was shock. "The Koma Sword is the Myoda Sect's main object of worship, and he had a connection to Father through it?"

"Hurry up, keep reading!" Shura said to him.

"Oh, right!"

Yeah, Shura, you don't have to tell Yukio twice even though she was a bit worried about this whole mess…

"Man, I'm getting a bad feeling about this…"

At least she wasn't the only one, even Rin was surprise from this whole entire mess.

"I don't know what Suguro's dad wants to ask me to do, but… "

Seems like whatever Rin was saying and thinking about right now, it sure has both Yukio and Shura's attentions.

"Rin?" Yukio questions his brother.

"Yukio, keep reading that letter." he said.

And so, he does…And during the time deep within the woods – Todo and Mamushi make their way to some area to follow the Shadow Demons to take them there. The stronghold of the former area to the Myoda Sect place, the Goma Hall of the Fudobu-ji Temple. All this to bring the Right Eye and Left Eye to this area. Mamushi use to play around the area of the woods; with her friends to being the good to bad ties for Tatsuma to always cheer her up even her father Uwabami tells her not to play around the place at all to get upset about, she still wanted to do this to restore life in her hometown and Tatsuma to be the ruler.

Still, she goes along with all of this? Entering inside of the place 'with Tatsuma already being there with the lights being lid up'…Soon the Shadow Demon armies, Todo, and Mamushi look for the hidden entrance of the place. While Yukio reads to Rin 'and Shura listening in' on what Tatsuma wrote to him. I hope I can describe on the rest while writing down on what his letter said.

(The Koma Sword. A demonic sword passed down as the Myo-O Dharani sect's main object of worship. Also known as Kurikara. It is said that Fukaku, Myoda's founder, summoned a fire demon named Karura into this world, and used its flames, to defeat the Impure King. Ever since, the Myoda have passed down the sword as their main object of worship, kept the Right Eye sealed away, and have had a strict rule about remaining apart from the secular world. Then, as it to mock all of that, he appeared before me.

Here ends the tale of me and Father Fujimoto. As well as seeing one Shadow Demon on our side in person too. A few months later, the Blue Night Occurred, and my father passed on the true secret of the Myoda Sect with his dying breath. That secret was indeed a terrible thing.)

Wait…From the Kuma Sword being their flames back then defeated the Impure King from long ago? No way…Like a type of phoenix? With so many to learn about and Tatsuma, Yaozo, Miwa's father, and the other monks see Shiro trying to stop them to have the sword from doing their job, while Kazu make a run for it in time to leave his partner behind to be safe. As for our hero Shiro Fujimoto…yeah, he goes down for the count after fighting against a demon for them to treat him back up. Tatsuma heals Shiro back up to demand some answers, and you know what happens next? Saying he won't leave the village until he gets the sword to also see lots of sick children affected by the miasma of the Impure King's curses doing all over the temple; but lucky for Shiro to tell the others on what to do right away for them, Tatsuma's father, and his wife Torako with their child were all safe. Yeah! Although the monks want to kill Shiro for knowing so much after all he did for all of them to make his escape with Kazu to the rescue for Tatsuma sees them off, to also tell his father that he was only protecting the rules more than his own people. You tell him, dude!

But…thanks to Tatsuma's help to give the sword to both Shiro and Kazu 'that explains everything for Mephisto to hold on to from there on until through the rest of the story', the two escaped with it in time for Shiro sees the man as a friend now and the last time they meant in person. Looks like to seeing something from an empty sword was for nothing all this time. That's when the Blue Night happened for Tatsuma's father died from Satan's blue flames of his for his son to be very sad.

While back at the hidden temple for Todo and Mamushi found the place for the army of Shadow Demons go through first for them to follow them next. Going down stairs, unsealing the paper spells on the door, Mamushi giving Todo the Right Eye, and then the Shadow Demons all gathered as Poka was there too – as Mamushi sees something was hidden within to look like a shell thing to have many spells all over it…The Impure King himself. Meaning the Shadow King has arrived being his hide out.

Yep, where this demon was seal for 150 years down here, will be back to normal and restore once the two eyes are within it again with Todo no longer needing Mamushi anymore to get rid of her.

"Master!" Poka flies over to his boss. "Poka brought them with eyes!"

Then the Shadow King himself appears.

"Oh, good. Just in time."

Todo shows his demon form in front of Mamushi to his true colors as well as her greatest enemy too.

"No way…The Shadow King…?" she was shock in fear.

"Good, Poka." he said. "At long last we got the eyes for the Impure King to be reborn and the power I need. Todo, well done. Now finish this human trash off."

Todo goes over to Mamushi to do so right away.

"With pleasure…"

But, a huge fire comes out of nowhere to stop the enemies just in time to also save Mamushi too.

"Well, well." both Todo and the Shadow King said.

It was Tatsuma to the rescue!

"Master?" surprised Mamushi.

"Mamushi! Everything's going to be all right." said Tatsuma. "I'll get you back to your father safe and sound, okay?"

The Shadow King wasn't pleased to see one of his enemy's trying to stop him and his goal 'other than take some power from the eyes'.

"Master!" Mamushi worries about Tatsuma.

"This thing has been around for so long, and it must be stopped. By my hands! I will protect everyone!"

Way a go, dude! Elsewhere, Kiyomi finally catches up with the strange old man back at the temple as Bon was trying to catch up to him.

"(Man! This guy runs fast for an old person!) Wait! Don't go, please!" Kiyomi stops him in time. "Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for saving me and the others from those Shadow Demons…Anyways, why are you not living with the other people? Don't you have a home?" He couldn't answer Kiyomi's question to bowing his head down in shame, Kiyomi still thinks there was a lot more to this guy than he lets on. "What's wrong?" Kiyomi tries to help him out. "Well, I'm sure the villagers will take you in being a hero. I'll take you to them. Take my hand." As she lends the strange man a helping hand to follow her back to the village, only to see his reflection in the mirror to look scared, upset, and sad to even look at himself to stop. "(He hates himself? But why…?)"

The man stops to be let go and takes off to sounding sad for Kiyomi was a bit tired 'still she was able to catch up with him again to run within the woods'. Although kept an eye on her while heading back to her friends to losing sight of the person, as Bon finally catches up to Kiyomi to see what she was doing on her own 'for him to worry about her a lot lately'.

"Saki!" he calls out to her. "What gives!? Don't run off on me like that again! Your step sister told me to watch over you and Zuku from the freakin' curse of yours! Remember!?"

So Zuku will try to feel out the stranger again if he ever comes around for Kiyomi as they go back with Bon.

"Sorry, Bon." She said to be smiling. "I couldn't find someone to run off, but I'm here now. Let's get back with the others."

Bon stops Kiyomi to see a cut on her hand.

"What happened?" he asks her.

"This? Oh, it's nothing. Must have got it from moving away from the shadow wolf's claws from almost cutting me down, but they missed. I'm fine, really."

"Let me see it." Bon pulls Kiyomi's hand next to his to start licking the blood off her slowly to make her feel weird suddenly. As well as Zuku's reaction on her face to be freaking out right now…

"(What is he…? Bon?)" Kiyomi was freaking out.

"Saki…I was worried about you…" Bon was being serious right now, to then trip on the ground for moving the wrong way. "Damn it!" yelled Bon.

"(Ah…Okay? What was that all about just now?)" Kiyomi was really confused right now. "Say, Bon? We should probably head back now. Please?"

Bon gets back up to act cool and all like nothing happened and goes along with it 'still his was really red all over'.

"Huh? Oh, right! Sure! Whatever! Let's go!" he walks off to keep an eye on Kiyomi this time. "Stay close to me. (And hopefully to protect you at all times.)"

And so off they headed back together leaving Kiyomi speechless on what Bon was trying to do to her.

"Zuku, I had no idea what Bon was doing to me, but I'm confused as you are too. (Oh, Rin…I wish I can see you right now. Or at least feel you out to hear your voice, just to keep me going…)"

Somehow with Zuku trapped, there was one thing that Kiyomi could do without losing control from the curse of her inner demon self from the shadows stretches out to where Rin was at to do something. Back where he was at for him and Shura to listen to Yukio reading the rest on what happened to Tatsuma in the past next 'speaking of him', it also explains that from the Blue Night event for something sort of good to come around for him. Sad of losing his father by Satan and his deadly blue flames of his 'for controlling someone but couldn't' was very upset for Tatsuma cry out his father to die in his arms repeatedly.

(Surrounded by blue flames, I learned all the secrets passed down among the head priest of Myoda.)

Before all was loss, Tatsuma has a special gift that he got 'or a familiar appearing before him' calling itself Karura. Pass down through other priests being in higher ranks of the Myo-O Dharani will now follow Tatsuma's orders like it did with his father. A bird-like person? This was the Karura? From proof of his blood and related to Fukaku, it was follow this man for now on. Karura will aid Tatsuma to stop the Impure King if it was ever release one day if he learned about others lying and such as a secret in return to be use for these things one day…And today, this was his chance to use his familiar against Todo, the Shadow King, and his army right here and now.

"Karura!" Tatsuma calls it out. "The time has come for you to lend me your power!"

To Mamushi's surprise, it appears by Tatsuma's orders to serve him.

"Such is our pact. Ask, and I obey." said Karura. Some of the Shadow Demons fear this demon for it was too powerful from its flames to destroy any of them from the light in seconds.

"Ah!" scared Poka. "Watch out, Master! That's a Karura! Poka sense powers within it from that human monk! Poka sense them being very strong! Danger! Danger!"

Todo was amazed into seeing it calling it a Vermillion too for another name, as the Shadow King wasn't scared of it at all.

"(I see…) Heh…" the villain laughs a little. "I'm impress, human. I never seen anyone having that Karura as their familiar and live to tell about it. You are a first."

Poka was surprise to hear his master say those words.

"Oh! Such strong words, Master! Poka very pleased!"

"You're quite right, Master." Todo agrees. "That is quite an amazing familiar you have there!"

Tatsuma gets ready to attack them.

"None of you can't control the Impure King so easily once he's release, and I won't allow it to happen!" he uses his fire blast attacks with Karura's help. "Put down the two eyes at once!"

The two attacked as one for the Shadow King pushes the fire all aside 'while some of his army got burned up but Poka', for Todo stops the rest.

"I'm afraid I can't do that!" He was fast! Tatsuma and Karura give it their all to fighting back against Todo for every fire attack he couldn't stop for long and being fast and strong, the Shadow King had a plan.

"Poka! That girl! Attack!" he said.

"Right!" As the shadow bat fires many needles at the weak Mamushi being defenseless, Tatsuma saves her in time for this was Todo's chance.

"Mamushi!" he saves her in time. "(That dirty little…!)"

"Do it, you fool!"

Once the Shadow King said that to Todo, he grabs the eyes to go near the seal of the Impure King to complete the task.

"Yes, master." he was ready. "Now allow me to play my trump card."

Tatsuma and Karura try attacking Todo to stop him, but it was too late. He gets hit only for the Left and Right Eyes go within the Impure King's seal. No! He was starting to awake for the Shadow King's task was done on his end to suck some of the energy out of the eyes and so was Todo to reawakening the demon. It was growing!

"Yes!" Poka was flying with happiness. "Master! It has been done!"

With some of the Shadow Demon's to be cheering 'who were still alive', the Shadow King laughs.

"Excellent!" he said. "Good work, human. I have done my part, and in return the rest is yours to have."

Looks like Todo love the sound of this new gift, their deal was set for power already. So if Shadow King aided him in the first place, what was his goal to having some power of the Impure King's in the first place? With Tatsuma was aiding Mamushi, the two had to get out of the area right away.

"Master…! Look!" she was horrified.

"Let's go, Mamushi. I got you." Tatsuma carries her. "The Impure King is awakening!"

With Juzo arriving a bit too late, the whole ground started to shake up and crack all over the place. For Tatsuma and Mamushi escape in time to avoid the droplets of the Impure King to come down for one touch will the miasma affected anyone, or worse – you will die in seconds. This was bad. Still, Tatsuma tells the two to go back to village to warn everyone to bring backup and for Mamushi to get well and explain everything with Juzo's help.

"Juzo! Perfect timing!" he tells him what to do. "Go take Mamushi back to the village and tell Yaozo, Uwabami, and tell the others what's going on! She'll tell you all on everything on what this thing is! Now go!"

He understood to start carrying Mamushi on his back.

"Yes, Master. Let's go, Mamushi."

She sees her master quick while she was still weak.

"Master…"

"Mamushi." Tatsuma pats her on the head. "You're going to be okay. I'll hold off this demon from here and stop the Shadow King too. You and Yaozo get out of here safely."

They take off for Juzo had to leaving Mamushi to worry about Tatsuma fighting alone against the Impure King, Todo, the Shadow King, Poka, and the other Shadow Demon army. Will it be enough though? Mamushi hopes so…

"Master…" she was worried about him. "Master!"

So Tatsuma gives it his all with Karura's help to put the Impure King on fire for the time being to hold it off. It was working so far, until…He got stabbed in the throat from behind. No! The Shadow King did this for Todo stops the familiar demon from going anywhere.

"Direct hit, Master!" Poka was pleased.

"No…!" Tatsuma was down for the count. "(The Shadow King, he has got me…!)"

Talk about being stab deeply for poor Tatsuma for the Shadow King has done his part.

"Thank you, Master." Todo said. "I do feel bad for using poor Ms. Hojyo like that, but it had to be done."

"You don't get it, don't you human?" spoke the Shadow King. "Your familiar the Karura…you were using it to keep the Impure King seal away, weren't you? Well, that was a very foolish mistake on your end. Todo and I had a deal, absorbing power from the eyes from the Impure King himself…in return he gets your powers from your little friend since he was your main objective."

Todo then stabs Karura right before Tatsuma's eyes.

"Tatsuma-!" the demon was hit.

"That's right it was…" Todo begins eating the Familiar whole.

That is so gross! And mess up too! As Tatsuma was watching the horrors, Karura was no more for Todo ate it whole to have some fire power weakening his body but looked and sounded younger again because of it.

"I hope you're happy with this deal, human!" Poka spoke to Todo. "Take it and leave it! We're done here."

Looks like the deal is all set now for the Shadow King has some more things to do to complete with his task.

"Oh, my…Yes, I feel much younger than ever thank you." he said to feel a bit pain. "It's hard to have this much power within me from the Karura, but I'll get use to it in no time. This only brings me closer to my own goal. Thank you again, Master."

The two shake on it for the Shadow King takes off and places the power of the Impure King's energy of the eyes to take off with Poka following his master.

"Like I care what happens with your goal, I have mine so far." said the Shadow Demon. "Be gone with you before I change my mind."

"Sir." Todo takes off. "And thank you, Tatsuma Suguro."

As Todo walks away to follow the Impure King was still growing, Tatsuma couldn't' get up to start fading.

"Wait…!" he said in pain. "Come back…! Please!"

I hope he wasn't dead! That leaves the Shadow King, Poka, and the other Shadow Demon armies to take off.

"Come, my people! We're leaving…" he turns to Poka next. "Deku, when we get back…we have to give out Mifo's punishment for failing us. Help me out, why don't you."

Poka was more than happy to do it.

"Like Baha does with her sisters for us? Of course, Master!"

For things had gotten from bad to worse for the Shadow King has more things to take care of and Todo with the Impure King's help, will Tatsuma live…? Rin, Shura, and Yuko finish up with the letter back at the prison cell.

(I beg of you, Okumura and Saki. I want you to use the Koma Sword and save Saki to use her Shadow powers again by getting rid of the curse to defeat bot the Shadow King and the Impure King. I'm all too aware that this is a reasonable and brazen request to make of you two. But if… If you Rin Okumura have even the tiniest sliver of charity in your heart and the love for Kiyomi Saki to be saved by the curse and from her grandfather's wickedness, as both of your fathers did, I would like to appeal it.)

And Yukio reads the last part out…

"Thank you for reading this far. Signed, Tatsuma Suguro."

That's it…? Seems so for Yukio and Shura were shock after hearing the whole entire story, and Rin looked shock, upset, and sad too. Now what will happen next? It's hard to tell. But Rin felt his shadow being pulled by Zuku's bit of power 'on her own' to contact Rin to freeze time within his head for his thoughts can sense to hear and see Kiyomi only and no one else for her to feel him out too with hers to stop everything else too.

"What the hell!?" surprised Rin. "What's going on?"

"What's happening!?" and Kiyomi too. With the two freaking out, they see each other. Though invisible to touch each other 'like they were hologram-like images' Zuku tells them they had a few minutes or so to talk to each other. "Rin!?"

"Kiyomi!?"

They see on what was going on…

"(Zuku!?)" surprise them both. "(She did this!?)"

Zuku gives them a sign saying that hurry it up for you guys have only minutes. And so, they do to run up to each other for Rin and Kiyomi really love each other so much.

"Kiyomi!"

"Rin!"

But they go through each other.

"Ah! Are we dead!?" Rin was freaking out.

It didn't take long for Kiyomi to know what her powers was to tell Rin all about it.

"(Now I get it…Thanks, Zuku.)" she tells him. "Rin, we're not dead. Zuku's only using her powers a bit from our shadows to contact each other. It's not much, but it's better than not talking to each other to say the least."

Rin gets it now 'kind of'.

"Oh, that makes sense…But the others-!"

"Seems like our time is slowing down with this power and nothing else, it just us." she explains. "Oh, Rin. I was so worried about you."

"I was too." Rin smiles back to his girlfriend. "Guess we got to make this moment count, huh?"

"Yes." said Kiyomi. "But it's fine as long as I'm with you."

The two stared at each other to be holding to one another feeling real to them even if they can't physically right now.

"Still feels weird…" Rin had something to tell Kiyomi first. "Oh, hey! I'm doing fine! Shura and Yukio are with me right now."

"Where are you at?" she asks him. "I want to see you again."

"And you will…things aren't going good on my end after freaking everyone else out from my powers. I didn't mean to hurt anyone!"

Kiyomi understood Rin.

"I know you didn't, it's okay, Rin. We'll get through this mess together. I'll always be with you. You are my fiancé after all, right?"

So true for those two, soon enough to be wed.

"You're right about that, babe." Rin laughs to get to the important part. "Always, Suguro's Dad left a letter about the Koma Sword you have to hear about."

"Same here." said Kiyomi. "It's important so please listen to this."

As Rin tells Kiyomi all about the Koma Sword real history on what Shiro and Kazu did 'for she was surprise to hear about her father' taking it for a reason from the temple for Tatsuma to trust the two; as well as her telling her boyfriend all about the Shadow Queen on what the Shadow King's real task will be between this and the Impure King that must be stopped by Todo's doing to use the two eyes for it. More secrets to find for them and something they must stop a bad demon together.

"My Dad and Father Fujimoto took the sword belonging to Bon's family?" Kiyomi was shock. "No way…"

"And that creepy Mephisto just had to bring up your grandfather is bringing back some evil Shadow Queen of some kind by using two of the eyes powers, both Yukio and I are blood, and you too?" same thing with Rin. "What the hell gives!?"

Yes, what will or can they do first? After Rin gets out of his mess first and for Kiyomi to see her boyfriend to be with again. Besides hating Mephisto for hitting on his woman, will Kiyomi bring up about Bon might be doing the same on her too?

"I wish I knew more about the Shadow Queen part. But Mephisto might be right, we need to look up more around the place when we can to stop him."

"And the Impure King will soon be set free for all we care to stop it together."

Kiyomi knows what to do first that's the most important…

"Guess stopping Todo and the Impure King if he's release must come first, and then the Shadow King himself." she said. "I think it's for the best. Don't you agree, Rin?"

He sees her point.

"In that case, you're right, Kiyomi. The Impure King first." said Rin.

"So where are you right now?" she asks him.

"In some cell, down below one of the buildings around this area…Sorry, I've been out cold."

Zuku knows where at.

"I think we got it. We'll be on our way soon." Kiyomi felt the energy was fading. "Our time's almost up here. Rin."

"Damn it…! Kiyomi!"

The two hug each other 'feeling real to them to feel out' for they had to even though they'll meet again in person in just a bit'.

"I'm so sorry, this type of ability doesn't last for too long." she said. "But let just make it count for one more minute."

"Alright." Rin likes it. "I mean it does feel real when we're hugging to feel you up." Rin was doing it right now for Kiyomi to feel every touch of it.

"Oh, Rin…" she likes it too. "You and I should do something fun when this is all over with, okay?"

"I can do that…Damn I think I'm getting a hard on in this special power thing…!"

"Rin!" Kiyomi freaks out a little and then laughs. "Oh, you silly. I love you."

"I love you too." Rin said. "See you soon. Let just kiss for it by luck, please?" The two do have their moment kiss for Rin and Kiyomi's love was very strong to feel it out through themselves. To be such a beautiful thing to do for their love will keep them together no matter what and be back real soon. "That felt nice, Kiyomi." said Rin.

"It sure did, Rin." And Kiyomi. "Zuku, we're good. Lead me to Rin right away. And I'll be seeing you soon."

The two hugged to hiding to look at each other too before disappearing, Rin and Kiyomi were smiling.

"Yeah, see you in a bit, Kiyomi." he waves to her. "I'll be waiting for you and be strong."

The power wares off for Kiyomi takes off to get back to the place with Bon 'as Zuku guides her to Rin' as Rin was thinking about that moment and getting back on the letter he just heard from his brother.

"Zuku, let's go. (Oh, Rin. I'm glad we had our moment at least, now I'm coming for you. Wait for me.)"

Bon was waiting for Kiyomi like nothing happened.

"Let's go, Saki." Bon said. "What's taking you so long?"

"Coming, Bon." she catches up. "We need to talk about something with the others and find Rin next, okay?"

Bon would go along with it.

"Ah, sure. What for…?"

Before Kiyomi could say anything…Someone comes out of nowhere to push Bon 'or shoves him aside' for Kiyomi and Zuku feel out to be Mephisto again.

"For something else of course. Excuse me."

There goes Bon to go back into the building like that. Ouch…!

"Hey!"

"(Mephisto!?)" Kiyomi did think she would be seeing him again. "What do you want with me now?"

He was always happy to be seeing his favorite woman/student of his.

"Kiyomi, you look better than you did from earlier." Moves up closer. "Any who…I've come here to bring some very sad new involving your dear Rin…He's in big trouble after what he did from showing his flames to be…well, put down really."

Not good to be hearing about this.

"You mean…Rin will be executed!?" shock Kiyomi. "No! That can't be!"

"I'm afraid so, my dear." he said. "And you know what that means too…Because of this mess, I get to have you to myself. As my bride. To move on and live happily with me of course. How does that sound to you?"

Awful, that's what! How can Kiyomi get out of this mess to be really shock and sad to hear to get to Rin in time? Can she?

"No! No! I won't-!" Mephisto stops her in time to feel weak again.

"Sorry, but you're not going anywhere this time." said Mephisto. "You're mine now."

Bon heard of everything, what is him to do about it now to save Kiyomi from Mephisto and Rin too? Because this wasn't the real Mephisto right now, wasn't it?

"(Okumura…Will be-?)" he didn't like the sound of it at all. "(This is bad!)"

What will happen next…? Was is Mephisto or what? I guess we'll all soon to find out the rest, huh? Rin and Kiyomi need to be back together again! Also, to stop both Todo and Impure King first, and then the Shadow King's next. Hurry!
