Chapter 16
Kanzaki studies the devil for a bit... "Sora... Is that you...?" he asks, not believing it.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvGWH4HKaX
"It's me... I'm a monster now, Kanzaki..." Sora says, tears sliding down his cheeks.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkI3Qs6fLi
"Sora..." Kanzaki says, the words stuck in his throat. "No... You're human, Sora. Just like me," Kanzaki says, sighing after.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5rRm8r6nz
"Really... Don't you see me now? Do I look like a human being?'' Sora asks.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhCHvus1jl
"Sora... It's not about your appearance! You have a heart of gold, the heart a good human being has, Sora! Even if you look like a monster, you're still human after all! You're my friend... I will always accept you even if you really are a monster!'' Kanzaki yells, his voice loud and clear.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbquHR6itEB
Satoshi clenches his fist. "Thank you... For accepting me..." Sora says before bowing. Sora turns to Erina.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT2Wn933Q2
"Black magic... Technique 1... Maximum power... Vortex of Predition...!!!" he yells as a vortex appears behind Erina... The water got pulled into it...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBP0BrCWEl
Purple shadows came out of the vortex, grabbing Erina and Satoshi. They went in it... The vortex shrinked and disappeared. The Yurei was in shock.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb73gGiuDv
"It's time for the final act..." she said, her face fully red. The Yurei screams, calling all the ghosts. They gathered...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU2n4cCnPg
"Make sure the risen one survives!" The Yurei yells before the ghosts leave the room.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7eGbBRroB
Sora laughs... "So the risen one is somewhere in the forest, huh?" he asks.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe0ySLKVDF
The Yurei gasps... "The risen is somewhere else... Hidden... You won't find it anyways," she says, confident.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva5lQAHLwO
"What's your real name?" Kanzaki asks.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuGrRn8AOy
The Yurei looks at him. "Yumin Naomi," she answers. Sora gasps.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe3SxCyMRv
"You're Yumin...?" he asks, confused.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Oi5eatFa5
The Yurei laughs. "Too bad... I'm a monster... So I'll have to kill you...!" she says after she teleported behind Sora.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmQRBlBM0z
''Kanzaki! You go and find it!'' Sora yells. Kanzaki leaves the room. After a few seconds, the Yurei starts growling.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCfnaVcv6Q
Sora looks at her. "I have no choice either..." he says as he punched her... His fist went through her body. "I'll do it the hard way then..." Sora mumbles, backing off.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUOMgO59YW
"Try me..." she answers, daring him to go all out. Kanzaki has entered countless rooms, but didn't find anything yet.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsXszz5MPs
He goes upstairs... It led him to a ladder. He climbs it and finds himself in the forest again.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KBHG9NSDE
He sees arrows... They weren't here back then... Did he have to go east just like the arrows pointed at or was it a trap...?341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31BCyUGUNA
Kanzaki decides to head east. He stops after he hears voices. "You have to stay there, so go back... NOW!!!" a deep voice said.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUPvhwRCtr
"But... Yumin...!" a feminine voice argued.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHlIakDIj6
"Stop talking back and let's go home," a masculine voice replied, annoyed.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgX9SGAVOH
"That's right Momo, we should head back for our own safety. Yumin will be alright," another feminine voice reassured, even though she sounded scared of someone or something.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHFx0jcon6
"You both listen well... I'm grateful you're not like her..." the deep voice said, a hint of anger in his voice.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2CHkyAHwr
"I'm sorry..." the feminine voice said before they stopped talking. Footsteps faded in the distance, leaving Kanzaki there.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwenCJfHB0
Sora stares at the Yurei. "What do you want to destroy this village for...?" he asks as he sits down.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVS12OSOwS
The Yurei chuckles. "Orders are things I have to do, so I'll destroy," she answers, looking down on him.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVEQ11FOKT
Sora closes his eyes. The Yurei takes the chance and tries to pull his head off... It didn't budge at all...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezCQXPLOoV
"What are you doing...?" Sora asks, opening his eyes. The Yurei's breath hitches as she notices.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc1PV5j2Kw
"I can pull your heart out y'know... No wonder you're defying me, a monster stronger than your owner..." he says, the room getting filled with fog.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ833rZsWRrs
The Yurei manages to see through the fog. "Black magic won't affect me. I've mastered all the 6 techniques already. I'm immune to it," she says, smirking.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSXuxJKzm6
"I'm not using black magic," Sora answers. The Yurei frowns. "Well, I don't care, you wont beat me anyw-..." before she can finish her sentence, Sora pulls her head off.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uR1vpWUX8
"Is this the way you kill humans? It looks like an awesome decoration for the forest..." he says, smiling as his yellow eyes start glowing in the dark.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLHbfgx8xW
Now Kanzaki can finish it... I'll head to Reina. Kanzaki carefully follows the path that the people took.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8mu120kLG
Villagers weren't on the ground anymore, as if they vanished. It hasn't been long either... The full red moon still hung there.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I8KDKP0JZ
Kanzaki hears rustling coming from the bushes. He quickly turns around. "Who's there...?" he asks, his voice lower than a whisper. No one came out... It felt strange.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZzynSrZZ9
Someone or something was definitely there, waiting for him. Kanzaki backs off but bumps into someone... When he looks behind him, it was Akuma. He freezes.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlEBULqeoh
"Where are you going?" she asks, leaning closer to him.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFzn4UIBV4
"There... Were... Uh... Some people went that way... I'm following them," he says. Kanzaki just noticed that the girl they found in the laboratory was on Akuma's back. Akuma's eyes glow and she nods.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8vanWKM0g
"Lead the way. However, I can't help you with solving the curse," she informs. Kanzaki continues walking east.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr5i6p41rQ
He looks at Akuma. "You said you were the destroyer of Hell and Heaven... What did you mean by that?" Kanzaki asks.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W8waQeyJH
Akuma sighs. "I have experienced and survived Hell. I can destroy Heaven, that's why I exist in the first place. It's the wrong choice though... So I will not do it," she explains.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvs5dg0vvD
Kanzaki feels uneasy. "No wonder... You look like you just came from the galaxy," he jokes, pointing at her looks. "Might be true. I have no idea," she answers, shrugging. They continue walking in silence.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9b6beOCLl
Sora looks at Reina as she appears. "You came faster than I expected," Sora says, smiling. "I was done killing anyways," she answers as she wipes blood off her axe.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3m7nypq5d
"Do you really trust him? He's just a child after all," she says. "He was the person the book told us about. He's the one. He will do it, I have full trust in him," he says.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWYxlp1trX
Reina rolls her eyes. "Are you sure it's him?" she asks. Sora nods. He shows her a paper. There stood 'Accepted Yurei ritual by Gin Hoshiro' on it with a fancy handwriting.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHqxmg5AQw
Reina's eyes dart over the paper. "His grandfather accepted it?! That means he's the one who let this whole Yurei curse exist in the first place! Shouldn't we get rid of h-..." she stops as Sora shakes his head.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaKPe5msdb
"He's the one who wrote it... The Yurei made a deal with him, or else he had to give his grandson... He chose for danger, not for betrayal... A wise man, you could say," Sora explains. "Now I understand..." Reina says as she puts her axe back in place.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqme5GIHDy
"Tell Haruki to come so I can hand him this for Kanzaki," Sora says, pointing at a camera next to him. Reina nods and sprints away.
Chapter 17
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggo3Zd9cYz
Kanzaki and Akuma stop in front of a house. It looked old, the roof had holes in it. "I'll wait for you," Akuma said, waving.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYoZ2vukJo
Before Kanzaki went in, Akuma smiled at him. "Sayonara..." Akuma says, her voice sounded like Akira's. Kanzaki waves as a goodbye and enters the house, the door closes on it's own.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lEkIHw1GC
The place was dark, Kanzaki couldn't see anything. He touches the wall, just to find a light switch.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCptbL2GKN
He switches it on and the room lights up. There was a chainsaw on the ground, right next to the door.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKigahf57kB
Lucky, I didn't touch it. Kanzaki sits down... His legs hurt from all that walking.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo0fI8EQmL
Suddenly, the window breaks. Kanzaki looks at it... There was no one at all... Ugh, this whole forest is cursed... A wolf jumps on his lap.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf2vTpzPqB
It was the same wolf that appeared from the bushes. "Who are you?" Kanzaki asks.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIOfzVCKTa
"Haruki..." the wolf answered.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcw8CCfVZv
Kanzaki freezes... Did it speak...? He looks at the wolf. "What are you doing here?" he asks.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69xly9PVe5
"I am the one who gives hints when you're lost," the wolf answers. Kanzaki yawns and looks back at the wolf.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQk9hGeyii
"You can sleep, I'll wake you up soon," the wolf says as he notices that Kanzaki is tired.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWcsCwNC7N
After exactly twenty minutes, the wolf taps on Kanzaki's shoulder. Kanzaki stirrs a bit and then wakes up.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmGofUdG4m
"It's time to continue, or else you'll be late," the wolf says. Kanzaki rubs his eyes and then stands up. "Search for anything useful first... Then I'll come to you," Haruki orders before he becomes invisible.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsFnvZkumX
Kanzaki stretches his arms and looks for tools he can use. He finds papers about devils but puts them back in place.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg4nmpTVO3
He finds a knife... Can I even use it the right way? Kanzaki decides to take it. He throws it in the air. It didn't break when it hit the ground, so Kanzaki picked it up.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2z9cLSqUI
He goes down to the basement and notices that the room is full of dirty water. The basement was huge, not like a normal one.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg5pnt3Gse
"G-gahh..." Kanzaki says, a disgusted expression on his face. I'll have to do this... He takes a deep breath and dives in.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeZi2J0DZK
The water was mint colored... Kanzaki notices that a ghost was under him. No, it was something else... It wasn't a ghost.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThUnyufkqO
The person tilts its head up, facing Kanzaki. "We finally see each other... Come here... My beloved son...'' a feminine voice whispered.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpAvAk1jEy
It was Mio. Her eyes were yellow... She looked like a devil. Kanzaki tries to get some fresh air and swims back up... Mio grabs his feet.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5lLz5BoNn
"Don't leave me... I've been waiting years for this moment..." she pleads. Kanzaki opens his mouth to say something but remembers he's underwater.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTbyI0MlRm
He tries to kick Mio but she also grabs his other feet. "Mphh..." Kanzaki mumbles, struggling to get above the water.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L5VpSiJe4
"I'll take you down with me... So come..." Mio says, her eyes glowing. Kanzaki closes his eyes and lets Mio pull him down...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ1D2hu00I
I'm nothing without someone by my side... He opens his eyes again and looks at Mio. Sorry... I couldn't save you... Kanzaki hears a voice in his head.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqVj1a23y2
"You got this, Kanzaki! Don't you dare die because we're gone!" There were multiple voices. Then he sees them... Sora... Remi... Mio... Akira... Takahiro... His father.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhohmC5Nax
They were standing there, right in front of him. Akira reaches her hand out to him. "Don't blame yourself... You're a strong person, Kanzaki. Follow your heart," she says, smiling at him.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvbbP8zzxp
He touches her hand but doesn't shake it... They slowly vanish. Kanzaki's eyes open fully.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoCJhMU7Oi
He turns to Mio and grabs her face. He looks under him and notices how deep it was... He couldn't even see the end.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp1IYZneGR
Mio smirks and bites his hand. Kanzaki doesn't scream. He bites his bottom lip to hold back. Mio's smirk widens even more.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvFlgRjLsP
"It's such an honor to see you struggle... Kanzaki, how do you feel about everyone dying for you, while you're doing nothing...? You're useless, Kanzaki. Don't you understand... They hate you, they wished they never sacrificed for someone like you!!!" Mio says, a sadistic smile on her face.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzQQb3qJSC
Kanzaki headbutts Mio, making her back off. "How dare you!" she yells as she rubs her forehead. She squints her eyes.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wk3klvcGA
Kanzaki decides to swim to the top while she's healing. Mio quickly notices and swims to him.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4ESWDX2MV
Kanzaki grits his teeth, his lungs won't be able to survive it for long. She's a lot faster than me...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RW2G24ZmJ
He looks down and notices that she could literally catch him. It made him drown. No one could help him. "Die... Please," she whispered.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8wo6jBXCb
Kanzaki holds onto Mio's arm. "Why... Are you doing this..." he asks, his voice muffled by the water. Mio looks at him with a confused face.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRWdz7quhz
"I can't hear you," she answers, leaning closer to him. Kanzaki looked at her with sleepy eyes.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB1yn1Pexs
"Sorry..." he says before he sinks deeper... Mio catches him.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhsLoHDnGZ
"I'm supposed to kill you... Not you dying because of water," she says. Kanzaki's body felt light.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK8ck4qi4N
Mio tries to eat him but then... Kanzaki takes out the knife from his pocket and stabs her. Mio coughs out blood.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoQ94G8WA4
Her appearance changes. Her yellow eyes turn brown. Her red skin turns into a light beige one.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cnAJrC191
Slowly, the color in her eyes disappear. Darker... Hollower... Lifeless. Her pulse wasn't there. Her heart wasn't beating. She was dead.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguQa0r47ak
Kanzaki holds the knife firmly and swims back to the top of the basement. Somehow, guilt didn't hit him hard. When he arrives at the top, he turns back one more time. "Farewell, mother," he says before leaving the basement.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56Ed92hnun
Kanzaki's clothes felt heavy. He searches through every drawer and closet, but there wasn't anything useful.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1gmGxkcg0
He sees stairs but... It felt like he's missing something here. It feels strange, this wasn't how it felt earlier.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLDexHQVqZ
He takes a look at the basement again... The room was covered with steam. Something is in the water...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqMkU26xqs
He takes a look at it. He hears someone whistling. It came from the water... Just what was it... It can't be a ghost...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdyzluXbdQ
Kanzaki crouches and touches the water with his fingertip. He quickly pulls back as he feels the heat. The whistling was heard again.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPYjz3aupM
Kanzaki tries to look if there's something in it but... He couldn't see it because of the color...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdbTXO5R7t
Slowly it changed to a red color, almost like blood. He decides to dive in, once again. This time to find out the cause of the whistling and the color.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9weK8f0qB
Kanzaki takes a deep breath and dives into the water. Kanzaki sees something pink coming towards him... It was white, big and looked like a whale...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW8Lsd9p6h
He sees the eye of the beast right in front of him. The eyes were black, round and staring at him. It starts whistling again.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsa9jYUtlI
The beast opened its mouth and Kanzaki went in... Unfortune strikes a lot. Kanzaki holds onto one of the whales teeth as he tries to not slide into the whales' stomach. The teeths were rather sharp.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JwprWLn9y
Kanzaki nearly falls down, his hands are slippery. With all his might, he pushes himself up. The whale whistles again.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme5SdGzLj6
Kanzaki squints his eyes as he realizes that he can't cover his ears. He looks around for a bit and then notices that the whales tongue was bleeding.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nciLK1TXo
There was a deep cut in it. Must hurt... I hope you get better soon... Kanzaki holds onto the teeth even tighter and tries to check how deep the wound is. His hand slips through the wound with ease.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eAzcP6WAr
Kanzaki's eyes widen. How did it even get wounded... He pulls his hand back. It was fully covered in blood.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcLWSI0WQO
Kanzaki wipes it off on his pants and waits until the whale opens his mouth.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAQoNmYdiZ
After a few moments... The whale finally opens his mouth... Kanzaki swims out of it and tries to reach the top... The mouth closes and the whale looks at Kanzaki.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt54yFLben
Kanzaki smiles at the whale and then disappears out of its sight. Kanzaki slowly lets himself fall on the ground. He was tired from all those experiences.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrNRNGIvzS

341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiLNZyi1fc
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK457YRbO77
Haruki appears behind him again. "Took you long enough," Haruki said as he waits for Kanzaki to stand up. "Come on! Or else they will die!" Haruki says.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79QLwaBNdo
Kanzaki stands up and walks to Haruki. Haruki hands him a camera. "I'll wait here until you're done," Haruki says before he lays down.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZdTNbe8OB
Kanzaki gulps and nods after. He heads to the second floor. The lights were flickering... This place definitely was haunted.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTRJWUKfBH
It's not like he can escape that easily. The room was filled with chairs, drinks and wine. Most of them were on the ground but others were there, as if they were new.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWrrWxujEO
He hears someone coughing. The door closes with a loud slam. Kanzaki looks around, trying to find someone.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZjR3WHzgJ
Just at that moment, Kanzaki feels someone's presence. Behind him. He couldn't move, he was scared. "W-what..." Kanzaki says, stuttering slightly.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPpkE5nYGZ
"We finally meet... I couldn't wait..." the person behind him says. "I wanted to meet you so bad... So I can continue my experiments now..." he says while hugging Kanzaki.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw3GSgPtj4
Kanzaki lets the camera fall, suprised by the man. Kanzaki flinches as the person hugs him.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWVE5yMcSB
When he looks behind, there was a man behind him. The only thing Kanzaki saw were his eyes and hair. Both were green, which was weird.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfkbFr6Vcf
The man grabs Kanzaki's hands and slowly ties them up. "It's gonna be a nice experiment... Trust me..." the man said.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccj23D1mEy
"Incase... I'm Ayato and I... Will just take an IQ test... Be kind and just answer the questions, Kanzaki..." Ayato says, smirking, "Or you'll just have to face the consequences, sadly."341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb2gMievyj
Ayato starts whistling as he takes a knife out of his pocket. Kanzaki takes a deep breath to calm down and closes his eyes.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03gPNCOGAu
The man chuckles, knowing that Kanzaki isn't scared anymore. "Impressive... No wonder you got this far. No one has ever done that, not even past the Yurei's house yet... Gin just killed Banji while he was asleep... Can't blame him..." Ayato informs as he leans closer to Kanzaki.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd5Gsvpl8u
Kanzaki's eyes were red, he was staring at the wall. "Oh... What happened..." Ayato asks before he notices... Kanzaki's eyes were fully red... Ayato steps back.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDRahYD24F
"How did you get red eyes... What an coincidence... So that's you huh?! Kagume's successor..." He says, trying to stab Kanzaki.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZFIKgcO56
Ayato smirks as Kanzaki's stomach bleeds. Suddenly, Haruki appears. He lets a bandage fall and turns to Ayato.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjEG6wM18k
"Who are you to hurt him like that?!" Haruki yells.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VsFwE3ppS
Ayato looks with a confused face. "A wolf that can talk... Weird," he says. Haruki grits his teeth and looks at Ayato. He starts drooling and sprints at Ayato, managing to bite his arm.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW6I64Kgfi
"You-... Get off me!!!" Ayato yells, trying to throw Haruki away. Kanzaki quickly puts the bandage on his stomach, the bleeding stopped.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4ZXbyBBZ5
Haruki jumps off Ayato and looks at Kanzaki. "Go to the attic! I'll handle him!" Haruki says, turning back to Ayato.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef7uNAUN6L
Kanzaki's eyes turn back to normal and he leaves the room. There was another stair to the left. He heads there as he clutches his arm. He nearly falls as his feet twisted.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAZz8eGGOo
He managed to grab the stair railing right on time. He stops for a bit and breathes... After some minutes, he regained his composure and opened the door... Kanzaki sees four people in the attic.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFITTMJKKp
One of them was the devil Astaroth. Three kids were tied up behind Astaroth, two girls and a boy.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt0gramwtb
The boy had grey hair and green eyes, he was sitting in the middle. The girl on the left had brown hair and hazel brown eyes... The one on the right was the girl Kanzaki met back then... Momosuke.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YLRCWk5yK
Astaroth looks at him and crosses his arms. "What are you doing here?" he asks, gritting his teeth.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD6rzAeR5e
"Leave them alone, what are you even doing?!" Kanzaki yells.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KJVRkD1Rn
Astaroth glares at him. "Watch your tone, kid..." he says. Astaroth claps with his hand and then... Two people arrive.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzzygAFpEY
One of them was a man with red hair and yellow eyes, the other person was a dark figure...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl7XTdtaVP
There were torches on the wall, lighting up the room. Momosuke looks up and smiles.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwTMeeab93
She points at Astaroth and gestures to one of the torches and then acts like she throws it.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiqN2xDTyA
When Astaroth looks behind him, she quickly sits still like before. Kanzaki realizes that she wants him to take a torch and burn the house with it...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJCzbi5p2S
He frowns slightly. If I set it on fire... Won't she die too? Kanzaki notices that the dark figure was in front of him.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcN1ZSYhrn
The person pushed Kanzaki towards Astaroth roughly. Astaroth looked at Kanzaki. "You had the nerve to run away... You were supposed to be my feast, not a chicken..." he says, grabbing Kanzaki's head.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtuQc8BOWU
The girl with brown curly hair looks up and has a worried look on her face. Empathy. Something he hasn't seen for a while.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6EGUdXHsi
Kanzaki gestures them to try and free theirselves while Astaroth and his servants are focused on him. The boy had sharp teeth and bit the tie off with ease.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTLU0b4Kme
He slowly crawls to Momosuke and helps her. The other girl managed to twist the tie and shred it. Kanzaki grins.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8HNFGmEtb
The boy stands up, his moves slow and deliberate. Kanzaki throws Momosuke's knife to her, Astaroth not even noticing.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC0QSUMnkA
"Why are you not afraid... I can take your life right here, right now..." Astaroth says, growling.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZiQFeAMFD
"Because... I promised to stay alive, so I'll never die... Especially not in your hands, devil," Kanzaki says, laughing.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ztkr7WDgq
Momosuke hands the knife over to the boy but then... The dark figure puts his hand on the boy's shoulder.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCICmZfvKYd
"Looks like our assisstants got a goal," he says, snatching the knife away. Kanzaki grits his teeth, veins popping out of his neck.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PEUcFWIuq
The boy's eyes widened but he quickly turned around and punched the figure. The figure backed off, dizzy because of the punch.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtTsckm7fS
The boy stood up and pulled Momosuke and the other girl with him. "Stay there..." he said, cautious. Momosuke and the girl nodded. He took one of the torches and threw it to Astaroth, he catches it and chuckles.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8BCoQjRQC
Momosuke and the girl stand up. The boy ran to the door and held it open, waiting for them.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhJcdCJx1O
Banji appeared behind him and hit the boy's neck with the side of his hand. The boy fell on the ground, Momosuke and the girl froze.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZNoYabouq
Momosuke rushes at Banji and stabs him several times in the stomach. "Die!!!" she yells, her voice loud and clear.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih5syS7ZZW
Banji puts his hand on his stomach and leans on the wall. He grunts in pain. Momosuke and Zakiko lift the boy and head downstairs...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyJ7d6s2qI
Astaroth lets the torch fall on the ground, the fire spreading rapidly. The heat was burning Kanzaki, but he kept standing.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffWHjuhDoL
Someone started screaming. The dark figure vanished. Kanzaki looks at Astaroth. "Does it really hurt? You've done a lot worse... Just go back to hell," Kanzaki says, clenching his fists.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjUoFa4X2O
Astaroth falls on the ground, his body getting divided in half. "Those who look down on others... Will never be accepted, by nothing other than death!!!" Kanzaki yells, his heart rate quickening.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG6mfae2pX
The fire kept spreading, covering the entire room. Kanzaki tries to go to the door, but the fire covers it fully. He looks around but... He couldn't escape.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO20MLeETFg
"Kanzaki!" a feminine voice yelled.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ebmg2uumd
"What?" Kanzaki answered. The person was outside. "Just run with all your might! It wont matter if the fire burns you!" the girl yells.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXocvq3rm1

After a few moments, he opens his eyes and notices that Momosuke was standing there. She let a bucket of water fall on him.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPbGqc0iZT
Kanzaki shivers because of the cold water. "Fast, we have to get out of here!" Momosuke says as she grabs his hand and heads downstairs with him.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPLLNvyNKM
Kanzaki looks at the room where Haruki was in while they passed by... Is he okay? He quickly shakes the thoughts off his mind and focuses on escaping.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWzdWEAWM0
Haruki was on the ground, his body covered in blood. Ayato looks at him. "You ruined it... Because of you..." Ayato says, his eyes turning into a deep blue color.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX3nfQQG4r
Haruki tries to stand up but falls down. Ayato sits down in front of him. "You're not smarter than him... But it's worth it," he says, inspecting Haruki.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYvoHaFkmw
Haruki squints his eyes and tries to turn around but can't. Ayato grabs his ear and puts pressure on it.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaZ9DvlhOB
"Who are you, huh? Just barging in like that..." he said, giving him a death stare. Ayato notices that the door was set on fire now... He rolls his eyes and scowls.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BuXwqawnC
He opens the window and jumps out of it, leaving Haruki there. He looks at the door and slowly closes his eyes.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKf6HscXjo
"I was... Just a sacrifice after all," he says, sighing in relief. "You can turn into a human being now..." a voice said, echoing in Haruki's head.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9YtVZBNGp
The fire spread through room... As Haruki got burnt. Haruki's eyes opened and he quickly realizes that he wasn't done yet.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJTsIVOBiP
He jumps out of the window and turns into a boy wearing a blue kimono with purple flowers on it, white short hair, blue eyes and a kitsune mask on the upper side of his head.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIKpM1L4n2
He smiles as he sees Ayato. "I wont back off... Not yet," Haruki says, walking to Ayato. Ayato rubs his eyes and looks at Haruki again.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32orFJ5LuQ
"You're the wolf?" he asks. Haruki nods.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bVlUiCLz6
"Yeah, that's me," he answers. Ayato grins.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIGBApRpPK
"Another one of those 'mythical' creatures, huh?" he says, trying to rage bait Haruki. Haruki stays quiet. "Honored to meet you, psychopath," Haruki says, smiling at him.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVxksvygha
Ayato clenches his fist and rushes at Haruki... Ayato punched Haruki's stomach but... Haruki didn't feel anything at all.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwCQG8EsO1
It was like Ayato hit a wall instead. Haruki opens his mouth, revealing his silver sharp teeth.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4Yu1Wswm2
He bites Ayato's elbow and tries to shred his limb off. Ayato screams in pain. "LET GO OF ME, YOU MONSTER!!!" Haruki managed to pull his elbow off his arm.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLHRqOM77u
He spits blood out his mouth and groans in pain. "This time... Japan wont fall... No one will die anymore... THIS IS OUR VICTORY!!!" Haruki yells, his voice echoing through the forest.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTADfDS67Lq
Ayato leans on a wall, but before he even notices... Akuma pulled his head off...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreDPdMD7kS
When she let go, his body fell on the ground. She threw his head far away, so far it was out of her sight.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXIhtq10xt
Kanzaki runs to Haruki. Momosuke and Zakiko came after, the boy in Zakiko's arms.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggwOZrJF4r
"Haruki... You did what you could, I'm so proud of you... Now you can go back, your family is waiting, Haruki. Goodbye!" Akuma says, smiling at him.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleIMN8R9ef
Haruki tears up. "Thank you, everyone," he said before he walked to Kanzaki. "Good luck... You got this now, Kanzaki," Haruki motivates before he pulls Akuma and Kanzaki in a tight hug.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg6ypzQKVr
Haruki takes the mask on the side of his face off and hands it to Kanzaki. "Please keep it. Save Kawasaki, Kanzaki... Show what you got," Haruki said, revealing a scar on the side of his face.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sHknaj5ZE
He looks up and then slowly vanishes into bits, going in the air. Kanzaki traces his fingers over the mask...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6KkzroKxg
I'll protect it with all my heart... He hears someone sobbing, when he looks to the side, he notices Akuma was crying.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRt98KCX8k
She wasn't sad though... Those were tears of joy. Momosuke and Zakiko put the boy down.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63OGT7pm8W
Akuma said she had things to do, so she left. Kanzaki looks at Momosuke. "What's his name?" he asks.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mPcz1xLlc
"Yoshika is his name," Momosuke answers as Zakiko sits down.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplP0II8w0E
"What's left to do now?" Zakiko asks, uncertain. Momosuke wanted to say something but she didn't. "What's wrong?" Zakiko asks, looking at Momosuke.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgKrx2Ewkh
"Nothing, just a bit tired," Momosuke answers.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qTZQaPS3s
Kanzaki sighs in relief. "Now... Well, I have no idea when he wakes up," he says, looking at Yoshika.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm7Ih0cTpF
"He isn't asleep. He's just unconscious... For now," Zakiko answers, rolling her eyes. She remembers that the knife was still in her hand and inspects it.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN3wbjvcWp
"Momosuke... Where did you get this from?" Zakiko questioned, frowning. Momosuke stays silent...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9MWg8iEDd
Her face darkens. Kanzaki stares at Zakiko but then takes the knife. He gives it back to Momosuke.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa79Oln83V
"If you're holding something as dangerous as that... It must be precious," he says. He turns back to Zakiko. "It might be better if you don't even ask about it. It's her life after all," he adds.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo0LseYyOO
Zakiko nods and looks away. Momosuke smiles after she had the knife in her hand. Kanzaki remembers that Momosuke gave him a knife back then.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHVj9G6ImG
"This was yours too... Wasn't it?" he says before taking the knife out of his pocket. Momosuke shakes her head and slides it back in his pocket.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvb0buYZPd
"That's Akuma's knife," she answers. Kanzaki's looks at her in confusion. "What do you mean?" he asks.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iVDwHu3ds
"Everyone who isn't human has them... And yeah, I'm not a human being, neither is Akuma... Zakiko and Yoshika are," she answers, her voice clear.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ6u0pSFw4
Yoshika wakes up and blinks multiple times. "Where are we...?" Yoshika asks, slowly regaining consciousness. Kanzaki looks at him.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmBETDzs0j
"The forest," he answers. Zakiko crouches next to Yoshika.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW56zQuqgrP
"Are you okay?" she asks, concern written all over her face. Yoshika nods and stands up.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe16k1Cp18G
He looks at Kanzaki and reaches out his hand. "I'm Yoshika, nice to meet you!" he says, smiling as Kanzaki shook his hand.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtlG6yzVXy

"Back to Kawasaki. The risen is probably there... Now," he answers.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y9vg5Uzar
"Do you know who it is?" Zakiko asks, curiousity dwelling. Kanzaki shakes his head.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBlxs8Djrt
"Not yet... But I already have a clue of who it could be," Kanzaki answers, gritting his teeth.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNRImKHdFh

"Yeah... Someone I know... Pretty well," he answers his face darkening again.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg75W4cmjwN
Zakiko puts her hand on this shoulder. "Are you gonna do it alone or... Do you need our help?" Yoshika asks, trying to change the subject a bit.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsEzBfOcAx
"I'll do it alone. Don't even come in... Just try to find people and bring them to a safe place. That's all I ask of you three..." Kanzaki says.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf4rchdGDn
He sees the entrance of the forest. "Alright... Do what I told you to, don't follow me," he says as he turned around.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTaEgUW25C

I should've thought about it before... That time me and Akira went home... Mother was praying. I could see... A photo of Gin was in the room, as if he was dead. I was confused but... Now I finally understand. Gin is the risen one. I never expected it but, turns out nightmares are the definitions of reality. I wish it wasn't true, I wanted to live a normal life... With everyone who's precious to me... Even though I'm a distant person... I still care about them. Akira made me open up to the world but... What was the cost? Her death? I wonder why they took it away from me. Because of this stupid curse, I lost them all. I still have to kill him, I'll do it without hesitation. He's dead anyways, it wont matter if he died once again. I'll even risk it for my life, if I need to. It's been such a while since I lost someone. Ever since my father left, of course. I can't believe I left Akira like that... I'm such an fool... I let someone that precious to me die... If she was alive, would she forgive me? I don't know, all those questions can't be answered. They're dead, they wont ever come back. Why did the Yurei even exist, in the first place? Wasn't it supposed to save Kawasaki? Why did it destroy? It chose violence... Even though I have no idea why. Did the experiments fail? Or was it just... By choice? 341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGem18UR6N

He stops in front of Gin's house. The scent of flowers and old art came right to him.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwcXUdaWHo
He takes a deep breath and opens the door... It was unlocked but then... The scent of blood filled the house...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8oE3kH9a6
Kanzaki opened all the doors, trying to find Gin. He enters the living room, to his surprise, Gin was there munching on something.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lGKyXW94c
Kanzaki sees a head rolling to him. It was Takahiro's head... Kanzaki takes a step back.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQpwJWerFG
His breath came in ragged gasps... He wanted to go, but he knew he couldn't. Gin slowly tilted his head up, looking at Kanzaki.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSCXcpR6bj
"Hey... Nice to see you again," he says, patting the place next to him. Kanzaki gulps, scared that he will die.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLe6t1JcSG
Gin looks at the meat and then back to him. "Oh... I forgot..." he says before he puts the meat away and walks back to Kanzaki.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlzGsMXkI6

"I have no damn idea... Maybe a friend or a relative," Yoshika guesses. Momosuke's eyes light up.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaDO4jz3TY
"Guys! Over here!" she says, as she tried to pull someone out. "There's someone here!" Momosuke said, gesturing Yoshika and Zakiko to come and help.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumiNsxdixC
The person's hand was little, as if it was a child. Yoshika moved the rocks with all his might and it worked.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSmw8nhSZT
Momosuke and Zakiko slowly pulled the person out.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5kxs9ERsZ
It was a girl, she has two little blonde pigtails and a blue, ripped dress. Her sky blue eyes were glowing and a bit of her face was covered in dirt.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4uBKxVwio
"Are you okay?" Yoshika asks as he looks at the little girl. She has a look of unease on her face but then slowly walks to Yoshika.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo70UTe3H9
She holds her hands up as if she wanted him to lift her. Yoshika looked at Zakiko and then at Momosuke.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwDLY8VyA3

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to lose you. I lost myself," Gin said before his face also disappeared.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA0Zo0oTal

"Make a wish... Remember, I can't bring someone back to life forever or rebuild something or... create a monster. So what will it be, Kanzaki?" she asked, smiling.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeUVnKfbtR
Kanzaki hesitated but then spoke. "I want to see Akira, I just want to talk to her for a bit, please," he answers.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6OMTft2rh

Reina stares at Nina, but when Nina looks at her she turns around. "Who are you?" Nina asked.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDACrBSFmwd
Reina looked at her again. "My name is Reina," Reina answers.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8DGcGBe2X
"Leina!" Nina says as she smiles.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhArbZCwbP7
"No its... Reina," Reina says again, her voice clear.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7oLvdvnGJ
"Leina!" Nina says again, chuckling. Reina gives up and sits next to Zakiko.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvAmXbvmas
"Who's cooking?" Momosuke asks. Kanzaki and Sora both stand up.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JAuV2aCbc
After a while, they were finally done. Nina stands up and was about to jump off the table.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXDJDVQa3G
Yoshika notices it with the corners of his eyes and he quickly catched her, his stomach hit the edge of the table.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtQO4Al25Z
He grunts in pain before putting Nina on the table. "Zakiko, did you bring it?" he asks.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eDaVHxtL8
Zakiko nods and puts a box on the table. "Let's welcome Nina!" Momosuke says before she opens the box, revealing a cake.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmXvZ8cb0B
It was topped with cherries and strawberries. The name 'Nina' was written on it. "Welcome, Nina!" everyone yelled in unison.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPdlNjzy87
It's been a long day... Everyone was tired, but Nina was still playing tag with Yoshika.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2LXQfeVyO
Kanzaki looked at Sora and the others. "It feels nice... To see this again, everyone's living in peace," Kanzaki says, smiling.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VqNgXzsH3
Sora nods. "You did such a great job, now we should just enjoy our lives," he says.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBITy0R3O6Y
Reina slaps Sora lightly. "Bring my axe back when you can," she orders.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDR9pOh50X
"I can't bring it back, do you want me to die?" he answers, his voice lower than a whisper.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMeGty4c9v
Reina leans closer to him. "What did you say?" she asks.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2BbvZQ9Re
"I said I'll do it when I can," he answers, grinning. Reina nods and walks to Nina.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmeYTur58D
"Leina!" Nina yelled as soon as she saw Reina. She hugged her leg, the height difference was a bit too much.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnTuwtKU5Z
Reina crouched and ruffled Nina's hair. Nina looked at her for a few minutes and then went back to Yoshika.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDa0gc6zug
They were all laughing... A dark figure behind a tree was grinning.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojthdLKBSJ
''It isn't over yet... Just watch... You didn't kill the Yurei... You broke the seal to greater evil...'' it said before disappearing...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXWX7bZF6b
When Kanzaki arrived home, he felt something inside him. Unbearable anger for no reason.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpAgTCS6rH
Something inside him was eating his core... And his heart. He hears a growl coming from inside of him.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIjTcEARtH
Was that monster... Really inside of him? Was Kagume real? Akira appears in front of Kanzaki.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PYBSi3Ye6
"Please... Don't turn into a monster. Kanzaki, I beg you. Fight back..." She whispered, tears streaming down her cheeks.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoigixkbfzY
Kanzaki smirks. His teeths were jagged. Akira had a look of fear in her eyes. "Please... D-don't do it," she pleaded.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKK9nSe6ks
"YOU'RE HUMAN, KANZAKI. COME BACK TO YOUR SENSES!" She yelled. Kanzaki tilted his head.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih13nRxunD
"Ugh... Women are so annoying. Just shut up," he said before the mouth entered Akira's body.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYzwTRPDft
"Rot together... With Kagume," it said. Akira falls unconscious.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzyd192oH6

It was a disaster in the streets of Tokyo. The huge billboard on the street displayed news, even though the screen became black every now and then.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYCVZ5w9In
Koharu, Kohaki and Kenji saw each other and gathered. Right now... Being alone wasn't the safest option.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcZWJu0fgm
"What happened?!" Kenji asks, looking around. Koharu and Kohaki just stay quiet. It started raining.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRQz47GTNu
"I-I think... The Y-yurei has been de-..." Kohaki whispers, but Koharu breaks her off.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynffQbDMmS
"We should try to... Get out of Tokyo. This will end bad, I can imagine it in front of me! We can't stay here any longer, work with me, Kenji," Koharu says, worried.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EUtry6aED
Kenji was about to say something but stopped. News? At this time? The city lit up for a split second.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpED0VOiuM
The billboard slowly turned on. Whispers were heard. A bit of rustling... And then a monotone voice talked.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuITki1Ecu
"Kagume has awakened. The seal to her awakening has been broken. The world will stop moving... The clocks will stop ticking... The world will burn. Nothing will be left but ashes. She has woken up from a deep slumber and who knows... She might be up to no good," a woman said calmly. She didn't have a worried expression at all.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1Dkmp87Sp
Emotionless. As if she wasn't human. "You can escape or... You can die..." she whispered.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk92SaMsvc
The screen started glitching. The power went off. It was dark, no one saw each other. No one knows what's happening...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO2i1BDLqg

341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4K6b6gUzA
Kagume smirked. She stared at Kanzaki before brushing a lock of his hair behind his ear.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo7OOFYKE3
Kanzaki woke up. His yellow predator-like eyes darted around the room. "Welcome... Back to my world," Kagume whispered, chuckling.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgjmURqay3
Kanzaki looked at his hands. He laughs, his laughter echoing through the dark place.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpq1f3VovW
Kagume reached her hand out. "Will you destroy the world with me, my love?" She asked, smiling.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5x0yMZabJ
Kanzaki grins. "You talk too much... Just shut up and start destroying," he said, a sadistic smile on his face.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE2XKz3hcC
Akira was on the ground. Kanzaki didn't look at her. He simply walked away, leaving the room.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnODa3PzDi8
Akira looked at Kagume. "Y-you evil... Witch... Don't you dare manipulate him..." She mumbled, her voice strained as she coughed out blood.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuUNWpR4lV
Kagume teleported in front of her. "What will you even do? You're weak. You will turn into a monster soon," Kagume informed, happy.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH79apCiTtD
"I will destroy you as a monster. I will save the world from evil... I WILL BE THE ONE WHO PUTS AN END TO ALL OF THIS!!!" Akira yelled, the ground trembling.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEVAapX8Iu
Kagume laughed. "You? You're an ant compared to me. You'll have to end me and... Your loved one as well," Kagume said, smirking.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7993HXcc1
Two dark figures appeared behind her. A woman and man. Both human. They had a diagonal scar on their nose. Black hair, gray eyes and daggers strapped on their hips.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6nO2blmhh
"Let us begin... The world will be mine," Kagume said, licking her lips.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3i8psoc79
Kagume smashed a rock on Akira's head. She fell unconscious... But her body slowly turned into something unimaginable...341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAit2nFaZM
Akira finds herself in a dark room. Nothing was in there... Just one strand of light.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJI7IbF4cu
She sees someone reaching their hand out to her... It looked like a man. Black hair... A hat on so she couldn't see his face. But he had a smile on his face.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GF2Hw5EgL
"I'll help you out of here! Come with me,' he said. Something in the tone of his was weird... it felt genuine. 341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH8H8jUgYY
Akira looked at her hands. Red, like crimson blood. She was a devil. No... Not was... She became one. 341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvuwELo1Lt
"Why me..? Aren't you afraid? I'm not even human..." she says, her yellow eyes looking at the ground. 341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULeibN5JT0
"Come on! It's simple. You might seem like a devil but... You have a heart of gold, th heart a good human being has,' the words rang a bell in her mind.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccjwSFKS38
Was this...? "Are you... Kanzaki's father?" she asked softly as she waited for his response. 341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BmuJ7XGwX
The man smiles again. "I didn't think you would get it right that fast... Well, yeah. I am his father. Now stand up and let's go!" he says as she grabs his hand. 341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCWMLVbCoD
They left the dark room. "That strand of light is... You. You're the only hope to defeating the curse now... And if you do... Then it's over, I think,' he says.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC55VpUf8QG
