Chapter 44: Spiraling Turmoil This Should Be Fun
"That's not very nice, you don't hold back even for a girl?" Mai whined as Shinya pushed down harder on his Katana.
"I think I have a pretty good reason for not holding back." Shinya hissed through his teeth.
"Oh so just because I stabbed your brother and there's a good possibility that he might die is your reason?" Mai answered.
"Damn straight it's my reason." He commented and pushed her away then slashed at her to try and cut her across her body.
He nicked her arm but that was it. "I thought that you didn't like your brother?" She retorted.
"He's my brother you don't know if I hate him or not." Shniya spat.
"Oh but I do…" Mai stated.
"Shinya don't let her get in your head." Toshiro warned as he fought against Risa.
"And why is that Toshiro. You know she's right." Risa chirped and kicked off of Toshiro's arm that blacked her last attack.
"Their lying Shinya." Toshiro said trying to reason with Takuya's younger brother and reassure himself.
"And who's to say that you're one to talk Toshiro." Risa commented.
"What?" Toshiro asked.
"You can't stand being stuck in another person's body, you would rather have that fake body that you had before when you went back to the human world the first time." Risa stated and Toshiro stopped what he was doing and Risa took the opening and round housed him in the side of the head and made him stumble and hit the ground.
"Toshiro!" Shinya Yelled and ran towards him.
"Not so fast." Mai laughed and started running around him quickly and creating a funnel.
"What's…going…on?" Shinya said noticing that the oxygen around him was being sucked away.
"Let's face it Toshiro, you didn't want to connect with anyone, you would rather try your hand at disappearing then hurt someone." Risa said and kicked Toshiro back down to the ground. She stepped on the cut that she gave him on his stomach.
"Ahhh…" Toshiro yelled trying to grip at the dirt.
"You would rather be alone, with no one around. No body likes you." She put her spear up to his throat "No body ever likes you." She smiled and moved her spear up to his face and cut his cheek then went to stab him in the throat when everything around then turned black.
"What's going on?" Risa questioned looking around.
'I know this spell.' Toshiro thought and kept still.
"Is this your doing Toshiro?" Risa asked.
"Toshiro, do you really not want to be connected to me?"
'Now's not the time to be asking questions right now Tommy.'
"But…"
'Ask me later, alright.'
"Okay."
Toshiro knocked Risa away from him and then Risa's arms pressed against her sides and the darkness faded from around them. Risa was wrapped in a wire.
"You're wrong about no one liking Toshiro." Koichi commented tightening his grip on the wire.
"How do you feel Shinya?" Mai laugh circled around him.
He couldn't breath and he was about to pass out. For some reason he slowly moved his hands across the ground and ended up drawing what looked like the wood symbol that was on the side of his neck. He placed his hand on top of the symbol but passed out before he could do any more.
Takuya and Zoe were almost to the Headmasters. The blood trail behind them was slimming down. Takuya's teeth were chattering because of loosing so much blood.
"Hold on Takuya, just a little longer." Zoe said trying not to cry.
"SHINYA!" They heard Noelle scream.
"Oh no what happened to Shinya?" Zoe asked.
Sasuke couldn't keep up the closing the whole anymore. He was about to pass out and then Shinya's name echoed through to him and the last seal that was keeping all of his power at bay weakened a great amount and the energy quickly spread through Takuya's body. Takuya's eyes faded to emotionless pools and he stood up straight.
"Takuya, what are you doing?" Zoe asked confused.
He didn't answer her and ran back towards where they left Toshiro and Shinya. Sasuke and Takuya ended up changing places and as Takuya ran. When he got there he saw that everyone except Toshiro, Ryuu, and Uryuu were passed out. All three of them were badly injured and to their breaking point. Risa and Mai seemed to be perfectly fine and somehow getting stronger.
Sasuke formed his staff and charged at the two girls.
"Sasuke?" The twins said surprised.
Sasuke didn't answer them. He attacked the girls so quickly that they didn't have time to react and they were thrown to the ground and skid a good distance away from them.
"Shinya!" Sasuke ran over to Takuya's little brother and flipped him around and checked his pulse.
He was alive but barely. "Sasuke look out!" Uryuu screamed and tried to run over to protect Sasuke but having his calf muscle bleeding from a hug gash that we was given he couldn't really get up.
Sasuke grabbed his staff and blocked both of their attacks easily. "You've hurt my friends and my family…" He stood up and flames erupted around him. "I'm going to kill you!" He yelled and a shock wave erupted from him and knocked the already weakened Toshiro, Ryuu, and Uryuu down to the ground.
"Oh no…" Toshiro said sitting back up.
"Damn it, did the seal break?" Ryuu asked.
Sasuke moved so fast that the girls couldn't block any of his attacks they were being tossed around like a couple of rag dolls and when they were to burnt and beat Sasuke went to kill them when someone stepped in between them.
"That's enough Sasuke." His father ordered.
"But dad?" Sasuke stated and his father put a hand up in front of Sasuke's face to silence him.
"You beat them Sasuke. Remember they are still students here at the moment. Because they are new I can strip their powers away from them and send them back to the human world without any memory of this place and completely unharmed." Is father reminded him and went to the Risa and Mai and pulled out a strange object that was used to pull away the memories about this place as well as their powers. After he did that he gave them a pill that quickly healed all their burns and that's all those pills were able to do then he sent them back to the human world and to their own homes.
"Let me see your leg." Sasuke said to Uryuu and Uryuu showed him his gash on his leg. "This is going to sting." Sasuke warned and pressed his pointer finger on his friends wound to cauterize it so it would stop bleeding.
"Ahhhh…" Uryuu started to scream and then covered his mouth to muffle the rest. Tears streamed down his face from the pain but he knew that it was better in the long run.
"I'm sorry." Sasuke apologized letting go of Uryuu's leg.
"It's…alright." He finally answered.
"Well that's good it only looks like the seal slipped a little." Toshiro smiled holding his stomach.
"Dad…" Sasuke said looking over at his father.
"Their already coming." He nodded.
Sasuke sighed in relief.
"Sasuke!" He turned to Zoe's voice and she ran and hugged him. "I'm so glad you two are ok." She cried into his shoulder.
"Yea, we're fine." Sasuke reassured her.
"Now lets get you to the hospital wing." She said wiping the few tears away that slipped down her cheek.
"Alright." He nodded.
"Why don't you just wait for the nurses to get here?" His dad offered.
"Good point." Zoe laughed a little.
Zoe went over to check on Shinya to see how he was doing. Black markings appeared all over Sasuke's body and they started burning. He fell to his knees. The seal was breaking. Sasuke started screaming because of the great amount of pain that the seal was putting him through while it slowly broke away and flooded his and Takuya's body with other powers.
"Headmaster!" Toshiro shouted standing up still clutching his stomach.
"I'm on it." He answered and placed a hand on Sasuke's forehead and knocked him out.
"We have to seal him again." Ryuu stated.
"You worry about getting healthy. I'll do as much as I can with the seal." The headmaster said and picked up his son whose body was flickering between Takuya's and his.
They headmaster disappeared and the nurses showed up and got everyone to the hospital wing. The next day everyone seemed to be all right and they were starting to recover. Toshiro left and went to the headmaster's office.
"Hello." He greeted walking into the room.
Headmaster Kasai came out of the side room where he was doing the sealing. "Good morning Toshiro, what brings you here? "He asked.
"I was just wondering how Sasuke and Takuya were doing?" He asked.
"Well their stable now." He sighed.
"That's good." Toshiro smiled.
"That's not why you came here is it Toshiro?" Headmaster asked.
"But how did you…" He started then the headmaster cut him off.
"I've known you for years Toshiro, you're like my son you don't want to ask for things now tell me what's on your mind." He said folding his hands after sitting down at his desk.
"Well…I was wondering if there was anyway possible to separate us from the group?" Toshiro asked.
"Why are you asking?" Headmaster questioned.
"I-I just don't want them to get hurt anymore. I would rather use the false body that I did when…" Sasuke's father held up his hand to silence him.
"I'll see what I can do." He said standing up again. "Now you get back to the hospital and get some rest."
"Yes sir." Toshiro bowed and then left the room.
