Chapter 7
"Let me go!!" Tsuki yells at her capture.
"Would you shut up you stupid girl!!"
"No! Put me down!"
"You're just gonna have to wait till I find The Konpaku Ki-pa- and The Reikon Waikyoku!"
"The Konpaku Ki-pa- and the Reikon Waikyoku!?"
"You'll find out who those two are soon." he smiles an evil grin.
Silence over took the air as he continued on. Tsuki was well in thought about who these two people are and why she was being taken to them.
* * *
As Axl was running he was thinking of what Akuma told him and began to worry. 'What would I do if I lose her to one of them?' he thought to himself.He clenched his fists, "I will not let them take your soul Tsuki!!" he yells while it echos through the forest. Miles away Tsuki had heard the echo and perked her head up.
"Seems as though the fur ball is after us." he smiles evilly, "He won't get far with that." he holds up a whistle and blows it. A black shadowy ball forms in the air above them and slowly morphs into a wolf like figure. "What do you want this time you annoying brat!?" the wolf says in an angry annoyed voice.
"I need you to get rid of a little pest for me."
"What kind of pest?" he looks at Tsuki and growls.
"Not her, a boy he's a wolf demon and he's not to far behind me." he tilts his head back behind him, "He's back that way you shouldn't miss him he's the only one following us."
"What's in it for me?" he growls.
"You can have the girls body, I'm sure it's still lying where I left it."
"I doubt it will be." he glares at him.
"You can finally be free from my grasp."
"I can't be free until you're DEAD!!"
"You can have the girls soul."
He falls silent for a minute then dips his head, "Deal." he gives Tsuki a sad look and jolts off.
Tsuki is confused, that wolf is her enemy and he gives her a sad look. She watches as the wolf disappears into the forest.
"That should give me enough time to get far away from here and mask my scent." he chuckles.
'Wow he's stupid.' she giggles silently.
"What are you giggling about!?" he glares at her.
"Nothing you should be concerned about!" she yells.
He growls and skids to a stop, "We'll see if it's nothing I should be concerned about." he pulls out a collar and chain and puts the collar around Tsuki's neck, chains one end to the collar the other end he wraps around his wrist and locks it in place, "As long as this chain is locked around my wrist I can always hear what you're thinking so I'd be careful if I were you." he takes off running again.
Axl was so focused on catching up to Tsuki that he didn't realize the black figure heading straight for him. The black figure flew right past him but then stopped and turned around. Axl didn't notice that the black figure was now following him and catching up to him fast. Axl disappeared and the black figured skid to a stop, searching around for him.Axl came up behind it and was going to punch it but it quickly moved out of the way, "So your the little pest he was talking about. You seem to be a little weak for a wolf demon."
"I don't have time for you!" he begins to walk off but the wolf figure jumps in front of him.
"You're not going anywhere." he growls.
"Get out of my way!!" he kicks it into a tree and takes off running.
It growls and takes off after him. Catching up quickly to Axl it gets close enough to latch onto the back of his leg. Axl winces and tries to smack it into a tree, trying to shake it off. His effort to get it off is useless, its jaws are locked tight around his leg.Axl pulls out his katana and stabs it in the skull. Still not letting go it begins injecting poison into him. Axl slices and stabs it many times in all its vital spots, but it still doesn't let go nor does it die. Axl begins getting weaker and weaker by the second. The poison was flowing through his body faster then he thought it would. After injecting a large amount of poison into Axl it finally lets go. Axl is too weak to even move, there was no way to stop the poison now. He falls to the ground and lay motionless. The figure walks up to him, "You were much weaker then I thought." it grunts, disappointed that he wasn't much of a fight.It grabs him by the neck and drags him off towards his master.
* * *
Akuma was quietly following the figure as it dragged Axl's limp body along the forest floor. Akuma noticed a soul chained to the body, knowing it's Axl he thinks of a way to bring him back along with Tsuki.
'The Shaman should be able to revive their spirits.' he thought to himself.
As Akuma was pursuing them he noticed an odd presence lurking in the shadows. It was a feeling he had never felt before....fear struck him like the fiercest storm. Searching around he noticed two ominous glows, one was red the other blue. The glows started getting closer and closer. The figure stopped in its tracks and laid Axls body against a tree and left. The glows kept getting closer. Soon the glows turned into flames. Two figures stepped out from the darkness of the trees.
"Oh no, The Konpaku Ki-pa- and The Reikon Waikyoku! They've come for Axls soul." he said in alarm. He quickly ran up to Axl, grabbed his body and disappeared. As quickly as they came the Konpaku Ki-pa- and the Reikon Waikyoku disappeared also.
* * *
"Why have you brought him back Akuma?" the Shaman asked.
"He's in need of resurrection master Shaman." he lays Axl down bowing his head as he does so.
"He chose to leave his village and be a rouge like his father, he is not welcome here!!" the Shaman scolds.
"That's not the reason he left!!" he argues.
"He followed his fathers footsteps and such will be treated like his father!!" the Shaman turns his back to them.
"Axl is not following his fathers footsteps!!" Akuma stands up.
"Akuma you've got to understand, Axls father has tried countless times to kill his father. Axl is trying to kill his father, just like his father tried killing his." the Shaman says calmly.
"Master Shaman please you must bring him back. Lady Tsuki is in trouble."
The Shaman is silent and then answers, "If that is true then I will save him, but it will take some time."
"We don't have much time left the Konpaku Ki-pa- and the Reikon Weikyoku are already on their way to Tsuki."
"Then enough babbling time to get to work." he gets ready to call Axls soul back. Akuma leaves and waits outside.
* * *
Over in the spirit world Axl walks by his grandfather telling him of what his father has become, and about the woman he loves.
"I always knew that man would get himself in a mess such as this." his grandfather says.
"I'm planning to kill him for leaving me all alone after my mother died." Axl clenches his fists.
"Axl try not to turn into your father if the same thing happens to your wife." he puts a hand on his shoulder, "I wouldn't want you ending up like your father and neither would your mother.
"I know." he smiles.
"I hope the woman you love will stay by your side till the very end." he smiles back.
"I know she will." Axl looks around as the world around him begins to disappear, "Grandpa what's happening!?" he asks in alarm.
"Your time on earth is still not finished." he waves goodbye to his grandson, "I shall see you in the future my grandson."
"Wait." he reaches a hand out as he gets further and further away from his grandpa...soon everything was black. He opens his eyes to see a man with black hair, ears, and tail with a misty black robe on.
"W-Where am I?" Axl asked holding a hand to his head.
"Your back in your home village." the Shaman says.
"What.....my home village?" he lays there for a second and remembers what happened. He jolts up, "Where is the man who brought me here?"
"You may come in now."
Akuma walks in.
"Are you the one who brought me here?"
He nods.
Axl clenches his fists and quickly gets up, "I won't forgive you for this Akuma." He walks out and quickly tries to find Tsuki's scent trail again.
"You can't save her alone Axl." Akuma says while walking out of the hut, "The Konpaku Ki-pa- and Reikon Waikyoku are already on their way to her."
"I'll do everything to save her even if it means my death."he growls.
"It will mean your death and this time you won't be able to come back."
"I don't care I must save her."
"You must understand Axl if they catch you it will mean the end for both of you."
"I'm stronger then you think I am Akuma." still searching for her scent he begins to get agitated.
Akuma looks towards the woods, "She that way." he points in the direction she's in.
Axl looks over and doesn't see nor smell her scent, "You're lying there's no scent trail leading that way!" he growls once more.
"Then why is there a misty blue trail leading that way?"
"How am I suppose to know, maybe it's because of your poor eyesight."
The Shaman walks out, "Having trouble I see." he walks up to Axl.
"Yeah, I just can't seem to find her scent."
"That's because your senses are missing."
"What!?" Axl turns and grabs the Shaman by his robe collar, "What do you mean, they're missing?" he glares.
"They're still stuck in the spirit world." he replies calmly.
"Well bring them back!"
"That will take time."
"How much time?"
"About two hours."
"I don't have that much time!!"
"There's no other way to get them back."
"Fine I'll get Akuma to lead me to her and I'll go from there."
"Your strength and power are in the spirit world also."
"Then you better get to work before I send you to the spirit world!!"
The Shaman calmly walks back into the hut, "Axl you must be in here in order for your senses and power to return."
Axl walks in.
"Alright lay down there and I'll get started."
Axl lays down, the Shaman walks over and gives him an unknown liquid and soon....everything went black.
* * *
"Hmm seems like they've finally caught up to me."
Tsuki looks back to see two glowing lights speeding towards them.
"Lets see who they've come for me or you." he smirks and stops in his tracks.
The glows are soon right in front of them. The Konpaku Ki-pa- looks at Tsuki while The Reikon Waikyoku looks at her captor.
"What's this? You have a girls soul with you, how odd." Konpaku said.
"Yes, it is not like you to be carrying around a girls soul." Reikon says suspiciously.
"She's the daughter of Zetsumei and Itonami."
"Oh, then may I have her?" Konpaku asks politely.
"Hey! You got the last soul it's my turn now!" Reikon yells.
"But this girl is such a rarity brother I must add her to my collection."
'Brother? They're brothers?' Tsuki thinks to herself.
"Be quiet and wait for your sentence!"
"You got the last rarity!!" he yells causing the ground to shake and the chains connected to Tsuki to break.
"You must be mistaken. I remember you getting the last rarity."
"The years must be catching up to you."
"You're not too far behind."
Reikon grunts. "Are you going to take this girls soul or are you going to fight about who gets her day." Tsuki's captor asks.
"She seems more suited for the Underworld then she would for Hell."
"The Underworld's too glum she should be more suited for Hell."
"She's not the fiery type."
"She's not the glum type either."
"She's more the glum type Reikon."
"Stay out of this!!" fire flies in all directions as he says this.
"Now, now, let's not get to fired up little brother. Mashin is only trying to help."
"I don't care what he's trying to do!"
"I'll take Tsuki back with me and you will take Mashin back with you, deal?"
Everything went silent until Mashin spoke, "Why do I have to be taken back?"
"You've been on the run from father long enough it's time for you to come back."
"I broke free of his grasp and am never going back!"
"That may be but once your captured you can never be free. You should've known that."
"Nothing can make me go back!" he drops Tsuki's soul and runs off.
Reikon follows him.
"My my how rude to be towards a girl, just dropping her on the ground like that. Here let me help you." he reaches a hand to her.
She only looks at his hand. She stands up and looks at him, "I don't need your help." she walks past him he grabs her hand before she gets to far.
"Your my soul now. Are you going to be like Mashin and run all your life?" he looks at her.
"I will not run, you can have my soul but that doesn't mean I'm following you."
"Deal." he lets go of her arm, "But remember this, your soul belongs to me now which means you will have some kind of guardian following you."
"Send such a thing after me and I'll order your death."
Everything went silent, Tsuki begins walking again.
"I shall follow you then."
Tsuki stops, "Do as you wish." she starts walking once again.
Konpaku follows her as they make their way to where her body was left.
