Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga

Episode # 8 – From Father to Son

Phase # 8 – War

All of this back then that started it all from my own father going to war after my first mother was killed by a human. In self-defense was all. An accident! That's all it was for my mother meant no harm to anyone, for I wish I understood myself if it wasn't for Satan himself brainwashing him, the Shadow King of the Shadow Demons to soon turn against any demon of different kinds or the innocent humans I've seen. A horrifying scene that I was soon never forget to end it all from my father's rage to blame anyone from running it all; for I call it being selfish for both the young Shiro and Mephisto aided me for helping for us in different breed join forces to end all the battle for good and saving many lives for no one had to die, thought my Father was upset for me to tell him that I'll be like him. I guess that's when he started to hate me for not liking his wife of a Succubus to give birth to another daughter being my step sister and another I once love to turn evil to put done. A girl with a power to be raise in the Vatican as a true warrior she has become. My daughter. I hope she was doing well. For it is when I told Kagome on what really happened to me, and she believes in me. I hope I can spend the rest of my life with this beautiful human female. This was my next step – seeing her family.

And…Scene!

I guess now it was a showdown against both Todo with his new powers and stopping the Impure King, along with saving the injured Tatsuma to hopefully be alive in the woods somewhere. For Yaozo, Uwabami, Juzo, Kinzou, Ao, Nishiki, Shura, and Yukio take care of the members joining in the fight…Will Rin, Kiyomi, Zuku, Bon, Shima, Miwa, Shiemi, and Izumo too for they race to the mountain where the two enemies are at.

As Mephisto watched and Kuro follows his friend right away, the Shadow King had something in mind for the familiar Trio of Darkness Sisters to do something for him again. Yep, Baha, Meme, and Vivi were at it again for round two. By setting up invisible mine field spells of papers all over the village to trap the humans inside with the miasma when it comes closing for Baha plans it all out for Meme to set the rest of it up, and Vivi gets the paper spells good to work on her end. Not good for these troublemakers again, well for the older two sisters probably.

"Alright, my sisters." Baha spoke up. "Now do you remember our plan to carry out for our Master?"

Meme raises her hand up to try answering that question.

"Oh! Oh! Oh!"

"What is it, Meme?" Baha answers.

"Ah…we have to make shield to trap humans in for Impure King?" ask Meme.

Baha just laughs for her sister there was dumb and ugly looking, but strong to do some of the things 'without saying it to her'.

"Very good." she turns to Vivi next. "And Vivi, what do we have to do about the set up for the shield to work?"

"Oh, I know!" she was pleased to say it. "We have to place all these papers spell the monks use once it's all set up."

Baha acted like she could care less from her cute sister.

"Yeah, yeah, correct. And I'll check on it too." and so she does. "And…It's done! Good!"

Seems like the whole trap that was supposed to be made has been complete for the papers to set the spells of blocking the people and trapping them in was next.

"All set!" said Vivi.

"Good to go…" and Meme.

"And now to turn the spell on. My job." Baha does so only she had trouble setting it up. "What the-? The hell!? Why isn't this working!?"

Not even Meme shaking it around didn't do so good either. Only to find all the papers 'for some of them' were all wet.

"Ah…" Meme shows it to Baha.

"The writings have been wet and smudge off!" Vivi worried.

"Ah! How did this happen!?" angered Baha. "Vivi…!"

Blaming on the sweet sister again, not good.

"No! No! Not me, Baha! Meme!" she was telling the truth. "You told me I couldn't hold on to the papers until we get the area and we did, I just place them all one by one without getting any of it wet. I mean it! We weren't near a lake!" Baha hits poor Vivi on the head again.

"Enough of your lies, Vivi! Can't you do anything right!?"

"Ha!" Meme laughs.

"But I'm telling you the truth…Meme swam in the lake and got you wet when you had the papers! I try to tell you, but you never listen to me…"

Like Baha and Meme will listen to Vivi now.

"Stop lying to me, you stupid dumb ass you!" yelled Baha. "Now go find the papers that aren't wet where we left it right away, Vivi!"

Meme points to Vivi as well to get going to not know where those were at all.

"What?" Vivi was confused. "But Sis, you told me that we all have to stay here to complete our task without fail from our Master."

"No buts!" Baha yells at her again. "Now go and don't come crawling back to us until you have them all on you!"

And for harsh words, Vivi takes off for Meme and Baha can do the job without her help this time after their last task was a mess.

"Bye, bye!" said Meme.

"Yes, Baha… (This is not fair...)" Once Vivi goes into a shadow, she leaves to looking very upset to wish to know why she was doing all of this for her sister for since she was a Shadow Demon, for this one wasn't bad at all. Maybe to Baha and Meme were.

"Can you believe in our loser sister, Meme?" Baha asks her dumb sister.

"Loser! Loser!" she said back.

"I know, right!? Let just work on something better since Vivi will mess us up again. Come on."

Geeze, those girls of Shadow Demon sisters have no right to live for those two. Picking on their sister who was nicer and prettier than they were, jealous can be ugly to hate your own family even more. Sucks! I hope Vivi will be okay…You know what I mean there?

With the miasma heading near the village for others to breath in the spores of the Impure King to get ill 'and Torako to worry about Bon and her husband Tatsuma's safety'; their son, Shima, Miwa, Rin, Kiyomi, Zuku, Shiemi, and Izumo all stayed together to walk into the woods to fight off the demon by any means and finding Tatsuma first by Shura's orders. At least Kiyomi had a new look on her to wear – being another girl's school uniform with a long black coat to wear over it, and her hair up in a ponytail. Also, Rin wears the same hidden clothing too. Looks like all was set to go and from the flashback as well before they all headed out.

"Good job getting Rin out and freeing Kiyomi and Zuku from the curse too." Shura said on the phone. "For now, can you kids look for Head Priest Tatsuma?"

"Has something happen to Dad?" Bon asks her.

We all hope that he'll be fine too!

"We're not sure if he's still alive. He's probably still up on the mountain."

End of flashback…Even Shura doesn't know of about Tatsuma's condition while she and the others were working really hard, Bon hopes his father will doing well for him and the others race to the mountain side right away. For Kiyomi feels his pain to help him out since he did try saving her and Zuku's life, just not in love with him back…

"(I know, Zuku, I know. We will help Bon out since he helped us out a lot.)" she said. "(And now we're free from the curse, we're all set to go to battle once again with my powers under control! Yeah!) Let's go, Zuku!"

Zuku was all set to go too. As Shura was all set and so was Yukio locked and loaded; Shura gets a call from Yaozo to do something for him by chanting a spell to summon a special demon known as Ucchusma 'being an Agni and another Myo-Dharani thing', a Vajra that purifies the unclean for it must be summon by high ranking seniors of the Tamers – for you see the Impure King is kin to the King of Rot. In other words, it is weak by fire. As she, Yaozo, Uwabami, and a few other higher monks summon the Ucchusma. Looks different compare to the Karura thing, but bigger!

It allows the five to have some fire power to fight back but not ten of them…With fire magic, flamethrower weapons, chanting fire type of spells, staff in flames, and summon familiars of lizard-like demons of fire type of Salamanders to take out the Impure King's white things for which it was spread bigger and bigger as a team. It was fire power time! While Rin, Kiyomi, Zuku, Bon, Shiemi, Izumo, Miwa, and Shima kept on looking around for Tatsuma to be somewhere in the woods of the mountains, Izumo found him.

"Wait!" Izumo stops.

"Izumo? What's wrong?" Kiyomi asks her.

Izumo points Tatsuma out to them.

"I think I found the head priest! Over there!"

They all spotted Tatsuma lying on the ground and look really hurt to still be covered in blood, to make Bon worry about his own father.

"Dad!"

Zuku goes up to Tatsuma in the shadows to check on him being weak but he was still breathing. Kiyomi goes over to him first to stop the rest of the bleeding for him, with quick thinking skills of her shadow powers.

"This is bad…! He's been stabbed through the neck, you guys!" she said.

"N-No." shock Bon.

Miwa gets his cell phone out to call out Shura to tell her they've found Tatsuma.

"I-I'll call Ms. Kirigakure!"

Just then, Zuku moves away from the fire power to almost weaken the demon of the fire coming from Tatsuma's body. It was Karura! But much smaller to still be alive, to save Tatsuma from bleeding the death, and still be art of this man who got lucky for half of his powers were stolen by Todo's doing. Amazing for the others to be seeing this. The power of the fire almost made Zuku blinded and complain a lot to this familiar.

"What…?" Kiyomi was surprised and speechless. "What are you…?"

From there, Karura introduce himself to the others…

"I am called Karura," he said. "and I serve the head priest of Myo-O Dharani."

"Karura?" confused Bon. "Y-You're my Dad's Familiar?"

"I was, but when my secret was revealed, it voided our pact. Now, a personal pact with Tatsuma Suguro is in effect."

I guess Karura was right, and since this is a type of phoenix that can come back from its own ashes to life that he's a lucky one at that. Soon Tatsuma coughs up badly to still be alive and kicking.

"I…" he tries to speak.

"D-Dad!" shock Bon to see his father was alive.

Tatsuma sees his son to not know he would come to his rescue.

"Ryuji. What are you doing here?"

"To save you!" he said.

Tatsuma tries to slowly get up from a tree, he's one brave person for a monk.

"What a foolish thing to do."

Still weak, I guess Tatsuma won't be able to fight back for Karura to worry about his master's conditions.

"I healed your wounds, but you shouldn't move yet, Tatsuma."

"Karura?" Tatsuma was surprise to see him still alive. "You got tiny. I thought you and I were both dead."

True, but remember Karura was a type of phoenix…For both Kiyomi and Zuku sees this now to study about those types of demon-like familiars themselves.

"Oh, I see…Karura is a type of phoenix, correct?" she asks.

Zuku smiles in a funny look to be like 'duah' in her reaction.

"Quite right." answer the demon. "I am also known as the Phoenix. I am reborn again and again. Besides, my pact with you for the Gouha-en is still in effect. I won't let you die."

Then Tatsuma sees both Kiyomi with Zuku looking better and free now and Rin too for they were here to help him out, thanks to him explaining everything to them 'and Kiyomi learning about the Shadow King's scheme thanks to Mephisto tells her all about it'. She had to tell the others real soon about that part next.

"A shadow demon…?" he sees Zuku dancing with joy. "You are Kiyomi's familiar? You and she are both free from the curse. That's wonderful. And you, Rin! Are you and your girlfriend here because you read my letter?"

Rin nodded a big yes to Tatsuma that he did.

"I told Kiyomi all about it."

"I read it too." Bon said as well.

"What?" shock Tatsuma.

"And Mephisto told me about the Shadow King's true plan as well…"

Kiyomi tells them on what Mephisto told her…Here we go with another flashback here.

"The Shadow King wants both Yukio and Rin for their powers of Satan to give his army of other bad Shadow Demons tons of energy in this war, besides the whole Impure King's eyes; and your powers to harness with the powers of the curse that'll show your most inner demon energy to be unlocked by the traitor Todo's dirty doings is only the main course. For a half breed like yourself, your grandfather didn't like your mother Kagome, to despite his only son Kazu even more because of this to hate you, but…Not anymore to think you're a really cutey. With the powers of Rin and Yukio's blue flames with or without blood, yours too, and the two eyes giving out powerful miasma it'll create and unleash a powerful demon compare to the Shadow King himself who once rule this world before time began centuries ago, one of the first powerful Shadow Demons who almost destroyed Assiah to rule Gehenna to be release again after sealing the deal! I'm talking about…The Shadow Queen! Nothing related to your grandfather to be his great, great ancestor. Go within this village buried in deeper, somewhere here to know all about the Shadow Demons' history. All of it. Learn it's background to know what you seek right in front of you two, and by the power of love changing within the flames…Well, only within the heart can tell you the answers."

And that was the scoop for Bon, Shiemi, Izumo, Shima, and Miwa to hear about too 'since Rin and Zuku already did'. Tatsuma knew it would happen one day as well, being the worse timings too of all the times to learn about that.

"No way…!" shock Izumo in fear.

"Is this why your own grandfather tried having your powers sealed up for evil?" same with Shiemi.

Both Zuku and Kiyomi nodded a yes there.

"For real!?" Miwa was well.

"Anything but that!" Shima was freaking out.

But for Bon to understand that the entire mess has gotten from bad to worse, he had to tell the others and Kiyomi not to worry about that part until the Impure King is stopped first, so they had time to stop the Shadow King next once this part was all over with.

"Look, Saki, I get it." he said. "But let's worry about your mess up grandfather's admissions next after we deal with this. Please…"

Seeing on how close the Impure King was coming and growing too, they had to as Kiyomi tells her boyfriend that Bon was right about all of this.

"Kiyomi?" he asks her.

"It's fine, Rin, Bon's right." said Kiyomi. "The Impure King is first, and then the Shadow King's next. Zuku and I already talked it over together and agree to help Bon, Miwa, Shima, and the others out on this mess until the very mess. They help me out while waiting for you in prison. Now we must to do this."

As the two hold each other, Rin agrees with his woman.

"Alright then, Kiyomi. You're right."

With the other part taken care of 'for now' to be hold off, Bon was sure that he and his friends were ready to help his father no matter what happens next. They wanted to.

"Everybody here came because they all understand the basic situation." Bon was being serious right now. "So you're gonna tell us everything, secrets and all."

And so Tatsuma will finally tell Bon, Rin, Kiyomi, Zuku, Shiemi, Shima, Miwa, and Izumo on everything he knows of to be telling them right away.

"Very well. I'll tell you how to defeat the Impure King." he says something to Kiyomi quick on something. "Kiyomi? Good choice both you and Rin had made together. With Zuku too. We will stop the Shadow King next and soon enough, for he is very dangerous but very easy goer when planning on his goals. Lucky to be a pathetic type of demon who doesn't mind waiting, but still…"

Zuku knew from her own kind and enemy as well on her end.

"Understood, Tatsuma." she said. "We will stop the Shadow King and who's not my grandfather for good sooner or later. That's a promise. Now please tell us everything we have to know about."

And so, Tatsuma does so on everything to beat the Impure King and how with their help.

"According to the true 'On the Impure King', known only to the head priests, the Impure King will steadily grow larger. Eventually, it will reach the size of a castle, and before long, a sporangium will form at its core."

I guess he means the white thing all over the Impure King form of the miasma was to be coming down.

"Sporangium?" Shima asked to see for himself. "You mean that thing? That curly thing at the top?" he points it out.

The one and only, pal! This makes Zuku to freak out to be hating the smell of it already but it won't kill the likes of her kind at all the say the least which was good.

"I except so." Tatsuma answered. "That sporangium will burst when it matures, releasing a dense cloud of toxic spores. This is the miasma it gets off. It was this mature sporangium that killed 40,000 people 150 years ago. In modern-day Kyoto, the death toll would be much worse! We must prevent that, no matter what."

So that's what they needed to do right away, for Bon to see that now.

"And you're saying we need to beat him before the sporangium can burst?"

Lots more to tell as the drawing details of a map of the Impure King saying these things on it: Impure King Internal Organ Diagram Pericardium/Toxin/Cyst.

"It's not that simple." Tatsuma had more to say. "The Impure King's only apparent weak spot, his heart, is located inside the sporangium. When Fukaku fought the Impure King, after a tough battle with the unknown creature, all he could do was cleave its heart in two and seal it away."

So that's how this monk did to seal away the Left and Right Eyes belonging to the Impure King, to use to free the demon can also remove it to destroying the demon for good.

"Oh, so those must be the Impure King's left and right eyes." said Izumo to get the whole thing.

"S-So if we don't split the sporangium first, we can't get at his heart?" ask Miwa.

Tatsuma hates to answer this next part to them, but sadly it was all true.

"That's right."

Zuku was having her head hurting her just thinking about it too much.

"That makes things tricky." said Shima.

Karura flies up closer to Tatsuma to finish healing his master a little bit more…

"I made a promise with Karura 15 years ago to borrow his Gouha-en. The Gouha-en is a spell that converts a person's lifespan into flame. It's triggered at the end of the person's life, setting off an all-consuming conflagration. My intent was to keep that as my trump card to defeat the Impure King." Tatsuma said to fail on his end. "However, I sued the flame I had stored up to halt the Impure King's advanced. I don't have much flame left. I'll use my remaining Gouha-en to create a barrier. Some of the Shadow Demons will try making a spell trapping everyone else but this one will protect them all instead! That will prevent the miasma from getting out even if the sporangium bursts."

True, but the two did try to stop that demon and Todo too, and sadly failed. For Tatsuma had little fire power left within his body to show within his hand to showing it to everyone else.

"Then we must make sure that this barrier will protect everyone and save stop the other one being made, and fast!" said Kiyomi. "I got my powers back so both Zuku and I are in full control of our Shadow Powers once again."

Tatsuma had something to say to Rin next…

"Please do, Kiyomi. Both you and Zuku have the power to do so." he then says this to Rin. "Rin, besides having Kiyomi by your side, I also want you to use the Koma Sword to obliterate the Impure King's heart!"

A shocker there for everyone knows that Rin's sword can stop the Impure King, but he still couldn't get it open on his end.

"Rin?" Kiyomi was worried about him.

"I'm sorry, I…" he tries saying it.

Tatsuma takes that part the wrong way though to say this instead.

"That's all right, I don't blame you." he said to understanding Rin. "After all, I'm asking both you and your girlfriend to risk your lives. You two are in love with each other after all."

But Rin meant was this…

"No, I meant…I can't draw the sword right now." Still had trouble pulling his sword out. "I've been trying and trying, but I can't the damn thing out!"

Even Zuku tries it out but couldn't for Kiyomi did try too for this was news to them.

"Now you tell us!" she said.

Even Bon wasn't too happy about this at all.

"Why the hell not!?"

"I don't know; I think it's mental block!" Rin kept on trying and trying repeatedly.

"Can that happen?" ask Bon.

No kidding! Why won't Rin get the Koma Sword to being release? Or Kiyomi and Zuku couldn't get it out for him either, what gives?

"Even I get worried sometimes, too! But it means I can't be of any use to any of you now." Rin looked and sounded upset. "I'm sorry, Suguro's dad!"

Kiyomi hugs Rin to make his feel better.

"Oh, Rin. It's okay. We'll figure something out to release the Koma Sword soon enough. (And hopefully soon enough before it's too late!)"

Tatsuma gets it now, and again he doesn't blame Rin one bit to keep on trying to get the sword out until then.

"Oh, I see. But if that's the case, I have to at least cast the barrier myself." Tatsuma gets up on his feet to still feel weak to do anything right now, for Karura to be saying so too.

"You mustn't, Tatsuma." said the demon. "You lost too much blood."

"I'm fine!"

But Tatsuma wasn't fine…he falls back down for Bon and Miwa to catch him in time from hurting himself again.

"Master!" Miwa panics.

"Dad!"

"I healed your wounds," so says Karura. "but you nearly bled to death. If you attempt to cast a barrier spell in your condition, you will surely die."

Looks like Tatsuma couldn't do a thing to feel weak now for Bon sees now and not wanting to lose his only father from doing that.

"It only has to last for a little it." said the weak Tatsuma. "This is more important than my life!"

Not good…

"Konekomaru, have you gotten through to Ms. Kirigakure yet?" Bon asks his friend.

But sadly, Miwa couldn't get through to Shura at all on her cell phone for neither of them wouldn't work at all.

"I keep trying, but I only get static! The miasma might be too thick."

So…Now what? Bon knows there must be another way to ask his father right away before it was too late.

"Dad! Isn't there anything we can do?"

Well, there was one thing for Karura to say something to Bon to notice something from him.

"Oh? You're Tatsuma's child. Perfect." said Karura. "The Gouha-en can be transferred to another of the same bloodline."

However, there was the one thing that Tatsuma won't allow Bon to do at all to try stopping him.

"I forbid it!" he said in a serious tone to worry for his son. "Anything but that! You're still a child! I won't let you drag Ryuji into this, Karura! I swore this would end with me, even if it costs me my life! Anything but him."

And because of this, Bon finally gets why Tatsuma wouldn't say anything to his own wife and son about all of this at all – only to protect them and to give his life up to stop the Impure King one day for today was one of them.

"All this time, you've pushed me away to bear this by yourself." Bon said.

Though half of that part was true, just to Tatsuma to choose this path on his decision only.

"No, I did this by choice."

Bon won't allow his father to die on him.

"To hell with that! I'll bear it with you! And you're in no shape to tell me otherwise!"

Surprising Tatsuma from all of this to hear his son wants to help him out, Karura must go with Bon on this one too.

"Tatsuma. Your son is being more rational than you are."

"Maybe so, but Ryuji was the last person I wanted to get involved in this." said Tatsuma.

So Karura has an idea for Bon to still help his father out 'since he has no choice now'.

"In that case, I shall commence the Gouha-en transference. Prove that you are of the blood of Tatsuma Suguro, the current owner."

With Karura's body turning into a bright red color of fire all over his body, Bon then bites down on his thumb to feel out the fire to prove that he was worthy to be his borrow familiar now as it lids up on his finger tip.

"Wow!" surprised Kiyomi. "Looks at that, you guys! Bon, looks like Karura's yours now."

He was now…Bon was having red flames with his hands after all.

"You are indeed of Tatsuma Suguro's blood." said Karura. "Ryuji Suguro. You now possess the Gouha-en.

This surprises Rin, Miwa, Shima, Izumo, Shiemi, Kiyomi, and Zuku to be seeing this for Bon to really be doing all of this for Tatsuma.

"Red flames!" shock Miwa.

"Ryuji, I'll show you our strongest barriers spell, known only to the head priest. Come closer." said Tatsuma. "It involves mudra gestures that will be unfamiliar to you. Pay close attention to how they're formed, too." he gets in a sitting phase on the floor to show Bon. "I can only do this once, so watch, listen, and memorize. First, we form the mudra for earth binding." The way Tatsuma was sitting for Bon to be seeing all of this, like Bon saw it all when he was a kid back then, now this was for real.

"And then?" Bon asked.

Tatsuma puts his finger on the grass to point out on what to do next.

"And finally, we touch the ground while making the Earth-touching mudra. This will complete the barrier-!" But before Tatsuma could finish saying and doing the rest, he falls for the others to worry and Bon the most.

"Dad!"

He will be fine but Tatsuma still needed to rest and heal for now.

"Will he be okay?" Kiyomi asks Bon.

Zuku gave an okay sign to Kiyomi meaning that Tatsuma will be just fine, but still they needed to do something quickly while there was still time.

"Moriyama! Kamiki! Would you two stayed here and look after my dad?" Bon asks the two girls.

"O-Okay!" Shiemi said.

"Sure." and Izumo too.

Bon tells the same to his other two friends next on what to do.

"Shima! Konekomaru! You two go tell Ms. Kirigakure and the Myoda teams everything we learned."

"What about you?" Miwa asks Bon.

"I'm gonna put up the barrier." he said to them. "It radiates out from the earth-touching mudra. So it has to be set up as close as possible to the sporangium."

With Zuku in shock, both Shima and Miwa think that taking out the Impure King was too much for him to handle.

"Are you saying you're going there?" shock Miwa. "That's crazy!"

Even Shima had a bad feeling about all of this…

"Bon, I've kept quiet and obeyed you like my parents pestered me to, but this is a special situation, so I'll speak my mind just this once." Shima was being serious right now. "I mean it, you're gonna die."

With Bon knowing already – at least he'll have both Rin and Kiyomi 'along with Zuku too' to helping him out.

"Not unless we help out Bon." Kiyomi said for Zuku was ready to go all out again. "Leave it to Zuku and me."

Bon didn't mind them, for Rin will help him out as well with other things he can do.

"It'll be okay; I'll keep him safe too." said Rin.

Bon was like 'what!?' on his face when Rin said that.

"Well, of course he's coming with me too you know!" said Kiyomi. "Our love is strong to do anything…"

"C'mon, she's right! I might not be able to draw my sword, but I can kinda-sorta use my flames now! Plus, I'm super strong!" he sounds serious now about the rest. "Both Kiyomi and I can handle it as a team. Will you guys leave it to us, Konekomaru?"

And for those two in doing everything else for Miwa allows it, and Shima was almost left out on his end.

"What about me?" he asks Rin and Kiyomi.

Soon Miwa started to run for Shima to follow him.

"Let's go!"

"Koneko!" Shima follows Miwa from behind. "You guys are all nuts! Don't come crying to me later, you hear?"

With everything taken care of...From Shima and Miwa moving out to find Shura and the team, while Izumo and Shiemi helps Tatsuma' Rin, Bon, Kiyomi, Zuku, and Karura move out next.

"Let's get moving, too." said Bon to get going.

They follow them.

"Sure." said Rin to hold Kiyomi's hand and kisses her cheek. "Let's get going, babe. Stay lose to me."

"I will. Come on, Zuku."

Zuku was all in fighting spirit to get a move on, for Tatsuma had one thing to say to Bon and the others before taking off.

"Be careful!" he said in pain. "I'm so sorry. "Ryuji, forgive this worthless father of yours."

Bon has forgiven Tatsuma since he had a fight with him if Rin or Kiyomi didn't help him out in the end…

"I always loved listening to you chant the sutras. So you better not die one me."

Once Bon said the truth deep down, Tatsuma was left speechless as Rin and Kiyomi were happy that a father and son relationship worked out in the end for them. And now off Bon, Rin, Kiyomi, Zuku, and Karura headed out as Tatsuma was left crying to be happy to have his son back in his life – for Izumo and Shiemi help him out for Shiemi wishes that Nii was with her right now, well soon enough he will be back. Good luck, you two! They might have to take him to the hospital. And Miwa and Shima try finding their way through without touching the part of Impure King that was spreading all over the place. While deep within the woods, Vivi sees the other paper spells all wash up in the lake to all be ruined and she turns off the spell trapping the humans on her own to leave her sisters and was upset about it, looks like she did the right thing there…

"(I'm done. I don't want this anymore, or for my own two sisters to treat me like crap anymore! They're on their own! I quit…No more working for the Shadow King.)"

Wow, she sounds and looks serious here. While back with Shura and Yukio 'along with Yaozo, Uwabami, Jiyzou, Kinzou, and the other monks' were fighting off the Impure King with so much fire power without stopping until the demon was long gone. As Yukio was doing well – only to spy on Todo looking young and burning up all over to fight him after being spied on. Why does he like him so much…? And ask about Rin a lot? What was his game…? This new younger form of Todo being a demon looks to having fire power of Karura within him, this was bad here. As Rin, Kiyomi, Bon, Zuku, and Karura have finally arrive to where the Impure King was growing at to see it looking like a form of a castle.

"Ah…What the hell?" this surprises Kiyomi.

"What is that?" ask Rin. "It's starting to look like a regular building."

"Crap," Bon was upset. "this might get ugly if we don't work fast! We have to hurry!"

Soon the five heard a noise coming from the bushes to catch them all by surprise. It was Kuro to finding Rin and Kiyomi for Zuku pulls him out.

"Rin!" said the demon cat.

"Kuro?" surprised Rin.

"There you are!" and Kiyomi.

Seems like Kuro was freaking out from the Impure King that was growing fast.

"Rin! Kiyomi! Run! It's dangerous here! These mountains possessed by a mountain demon monster! And it smells so bad!"

Zuku felt Kuro's pain too in not liking the smell either and Kuro saying it all to be freaking out.

"Mountain demon?" Rin was confused. "You mean the Impure King? We know about him, but we can't run. We have to climb up to the top of this thing if we're gonna defeat it."

Zuku moves her arms and shoulders to be all true.

"I'm afraid we have to, Kuro, for us to save the world." said Kiyomi.

This freaks Kuro out for them to be saying all of this and were really going to be doing it.

"What? That's crazy!" he said with his eyes growing big. "This thing isn't gonna listen to reason!" Kuro also smells something from Kiyomi and Zuku to be happy on one thing. "Hey! Kiyomi! Zuku! You're both curse free now! That's wonderful!"

"Oh, thanks for noticing, Kuro." she said.

Still, Kiyomi and Rin had to save the world from the dangerous demon or everyone might die.

"Somebody has to, or we're all in trouble!" said Rin.

"You're being stupid, Rin!" Kuro said to then transforms. "It's not safe, so I'll take you and Kiyomi too!"

Guess they were good to go.

"Really?" Rin was happy to hear. "Kuro, you're the best! Suguro, let's climb on!"

Bon didn't think he'll ride on Kuro until now.

"Climb on?" he was surprised.

"Yeah! Let's go!" Kiyomi stops in time before someone could look at her skirt. "Ah! Don't look!"

Bon and Rin didn't see anything at all for Zuku covers Kiyomi in time.

"Ah…! I didn't see anything!" Rin said.

"Same with me, Saki!" and Bon too look upset. "Give me a break!" With Kiyomi checking on Kura with Zuku's help as well, Rin and Bon's faces turn red to be laughing together to say this secretly. "You two really love each other, huh?" Bon asks him.

"You bet…!" Rin laughs. "I tap that. Also, I love when I grab them in my hands. Besides seeing her hot panties!"

Bon acted like he didn't care, but he did for Kiyomi.

"You're such a pervert! And what of it? I might've seen her panties too…Just so you know, I'll still protect Saki to might be liking her more than friends! But I will face you and only you to win her over so treat her well. Besides your brother and head master Mephisto, forget it!"

Ouch! I think Rin was admire of Bon saying all of these things to him for he was beating his brother to win Kiyomi over and out best Mephisto.

"Tell me about it…"

Looks like Bon was cool with things for Rin and Kiyomi were meant to be together in love. Soon Zuku felt something out of her kind to follow that feeling within the woods for Kiyomi to follow her familiar.

"Zuku? Hey, wait up!" she goes after her.

Rin, Bon, Karura, and Kuro follow her.

"Kiyomi?" both Rin and Kuro were confused.

"Where are you going now, Saki?" and Bon too.

As the battle was still going on between Yukio against the younger version and powerful Todo, it was getting hot around here. Leaving Mephisto to still watch the show from above to see the other monks and exorcists were fighting back…Yukio was shooting Todo to get hurt a little to spit the bullets right out of him to not go down that easily; saying about he hates Rin more than care about his brother to be treated different by Shiro to work for his step father 'but none of that wasn't true at all', Todo was fooling with his poor mind! It also shows a flashback of Todo as a younger self to be with his brothers. Fight back, Yukio! Don't listen to him!

Back with Rin and the others…Kiyomi follows Zuku to lead her to Vivi was lying on the ground and looked upset to be crying, for them to bump into each other without fighting this time.

"Zuku…?" Kiyomi remembers Vivi. "Ah! It's you! Fire member of the Trio of Darkness Sisters! Vivi!"

Bon, Karura, Rin, and Kuro sees them to know of the enemy to Rin 'who feels bad for this one' and Bon not happy seeing another Shadow Demon.

"Rin! Look!" Kuro pointed out.

"It's you again-!"

Zuku gives Rin a big hand to stop him in time.

"Rin! Don't!"

"Ouch…!" he was in pain. "Zuku! What gives, Kiyomi?"

Vivi looked upset than fighting back or afraid to do anything anymore.

"Oh, it's you guys." she sounded upset. "Don't worry about me. I'm done working with my own sisters. I mess up everything again to throw me out just like that…There's no use being enemies anymore."

Bon didn't think so.

"Are you nuts!?" he got mad. "What should we trust you!? You work for the Shadow King-!"

"I don't anymore!" Vivi shows them some proof. "The spell papers were supposed to trap everyone to the Impure King, until Meme ruined it for Baha to yelled at me…I stopped it for you guys to stop the demon since I quit. So I'm an enemy to them. I'm serious."

Seems like the others believe in Vivi now.

"Is that so?" Karura asks her.

"What happened?" same with Kuro.

And so Vivi told them everything on she was born differently to be friendly in the Shadow Demon group but her sisters hated her to be better than her 'but both Meme and Baha weren't too smart', so she was fighting and such to paying on what she stolen by accident in the end to complete the task to report back and train hard. Sounding upset to burn the rest of the paper spells – this made Kiyomi and Zuku feel sorry for her, same with both Karura and Kuro, Bon might take a bit to except this Shadow Demon being friendly than the rest but his friend he really likes. Rin however, was sad and upset to think otherwise.

"Is that so? Vivi, are you telling the truth to us?" Rin had to know.

"Ah, yes…" With her answering back, Rin really felt bad for her and Kiyomi too.

"My God. How awful." Kiyomi was upset. "Sisters like Baha and Meme don't have any right to treat you like that. Not at all!"

Zuku was mad to cut down some bad trees going rotten by the Impure King's doing, for she felt Kiyomi's pain too. As Rin was burning up on his end to control his blue flames so far as well.

"Damn them…Damn that Shadow King! Why is he doing all of this and treat his people like garbage!? Tell me…Why!"

To show Rin's emotions for Kiyomi understood Vivi's pain to say this without being afraid. As she hugs Rin to know how he felt and hers too, so much of it.

"Rin…It's okay." she said. "I think we can trust this Shadow Demon, Vivi's a good one. From the very beginning."

"Really?" Rin asks her.

"Yes." Kiyomi then turns to Vivi next. "Listen, Vivi, what Rin just did there…He showed on how much you were in pain. You see, we were in the same mess too until we fell in love and made friends too and kept on living. You know? And what you felt, you're different than the rest of the Shadow Demons. Knowing he is my Grandfather and pure evil compare to Satan himself, we need to stick together to learn from each other and control our powers to fight back even if it's against that Impure King. All for Bon's father sake and his hometown too. You know? You don't have to listen to your mean sisters anymore. They're nothing anymore or your so call sisters. If you did quit and never wanted to hurt anyone in the first place, you chosen this path making you a good demon."

This was the first time for any living being said that to Vivi, ever. Even Rin admits it too in feeling shy about it.

"(Kiyomi…)" he was still in love with her. "Yeah, yeah! What she said, so listen to her!"

Kuro, Zuku, and Karura understood Vivi's pain too to know that she wasn't alone anymore.

"What…? Really?" she was left confused. "Why are you saying this to me? We fought, remember?"

"In every word." answer Kiyomi.

Bon got mad to be saying this to Vivi next since he did trust her, and again he was feeling embarrassed about all of this to still care.

"Oh my God! Take a hint, will ya!?"

Before Rin could say anything to Bon, he didn't sound mean to Vivi but to talk some good sense into her for Kiyomi to stop him in time.

"Rin, wait! Just watch and listen." she said.

And with all said and done, he trusts her to listen in and Vivi was a bit shaken up by Bon's words.

"Excuse me?" ask Vivi.

"You heard what both Saki and Okumura just said! You decided to quit leaving the villain's lair and those sisters too, so that's a good thing! Who cares about any of them or the Shadow King! They're nothing but shit themselves! You were good to begin with, so be yourself without telling those who are an idiot to you as their slave because you're not! Understood!? I do what I need to get done because I care, and so should you!"

Once Bon said to Vivi just now, she was moved by his words to understand it now. And to see Kiyomi, Zuku, Rin, Karura, and Kuro will accept her as a new friend on the team to fight back again her kind, her mean sisters, the Shadow King, and the Impure King too. She then looked happy suddenly to be her cheerful self again.

"Really? Oh, thank you so much!" she said with joy. "Thank you, Rin! Kiyomi! You too, Zuku! And demon friend!" Vivi then hugs Bon to his surprise.

"Ah! What the hell!?"

"And you…Bon's your name, correct?" she asks him.

"It's Ryuji Suguro!" answer Bon. "I mean Bon's just a nickname! You got it!?"

Vivi's face turns red to show her shadows were turning into hearts all over the place.

"Oh…I do, Bon!" Vivi then kisses Bon to be hugging him too, and then to being really shock about all of this. Looks like Vivi was in love with a human like him.

"No way…!" surprise Kiyomi and Zuku.

"Suguro's got a demon girlfriend!" Rin pointed out.

"Nice…" said Karura.

"And another good Shadow Demon has join with our team." and Kuro too.

Bon tells them that they got the wrong idea here.

"Hey! This isn't what it looks like! We just met!" he said to try pushing Vivi off him. "Get off me!"

Not likely going to happen.

"But you're a very sweet to me, Bon…I think I might be in love with you." said the happy Vivi.

With Bon trying to pull Vivi off him and running all over the woods for Kuro and Karura to wait for him to be ready for battle, as Rin and Kiyomi were laughing to see this scene and Zuku to enjoy the show as much as she could since she was happy to be free.

"Well, that was something out of the blue. Huh, Rin?" Kiyomi asks her boyfriend.

"Tell me about it." Rin said. "At least he won't be hitting on you as much anymore."

Vivi looking happy and all says this part next for the three heroes ride on Kuro's back for Karura was next to Bon and Zuku was all set to go, she says this part to be ready to get on the Impure King's weird building shape of his deadly body to put a stop to him once and for all.

"In that case…I'm not longer a member of the Trio of Darkness Sister no more. I am just me Vivi the Fire of Darkness of the Shadow Demon member of Kiyomi and friends. And my new beloved Bon…" she said. "And because of your kindness to be more open minded, I will help you all out to stop the Impure King in return with the Shadow Demons and the king himself later. Now let's do this!"

"Alright!" Rin and Kuro said together.

"Welcome to the team, Vivi." Kiyomi was happy. "(Another member of the Shadow Demons being on our side, this is awesome.)"

Looks like they were all set to go as was Vivi too, even for good old Bon to use his powers well for Karura was now within his body to do what needs to be done for Tatsuma's sake. He also has Vivi as their new member of the team and his new girlfriend too.

Bon: She's not my girlfriend!

Sure, she isn't…So, what will happen next time? Can they stop the Impure King? Izumo and Shiemi get Tatsuma to the hospital in time? How will Shima and Miwa get to Shura and the others now? Also, how will Yukio stop Todo from confusing him in his mess up words? Huh!? Well, more of this next time for the showdown continues. Also…The strange old man was watching from afar to think of doing something, but he was afraid to do anything. More to come next time.
