The rush of dark chakra that rushed over me was enough to make me want to run for hours to get away. Dark started yelling something, but I ignored him. The chakra was Shukaku's there was no doubt. Maki seemed to notice my tenseness.
"Hachi? What's wrong?" Maki asked.
"A dark chakra......Shukaku'sss dark chakra....hisss dark ssside hasss awakened.....I have to sstop him before he doesss too much damage," I said standing up. Maki paled.
"Then I'm coming with you," Maki said finally standing as well.
"No," I answered, "It'ssss not ssafe...pleassse ssstay here."
"Hachi!" Maki said. Her visage was a contrast between fear and worry.
"I'll be fine," I reassured her, "but you are human and I don't want thingss to happen the way they did before....."
"Hachi....." Maki said quietly, "ok, but you had better come home!"
"Don't worry," I smiled putting my hand on her shoulder.
"Hachi......please come back..." Maki said tears coming into her eyes, "And not Dark but you.....you Hachi please......"
"Don't worry," I smiled.
I sensed that Kai was very far away and instructed Ryusemi to contact him.
Kai
I had continued to follow the unknown chakra, but I couldn't find it. Suddenly Ryusemi jumped into my head.
"Master Kai!" Ryusemi yelled, "Hachimata-dono needs you! Get home!"
"Ok ok ok," I said somewhat irritated with Ryusemi for bardging inside my mind.
"Come on!" Ryusemi yelled.
I nodded and ran towards Hachi's chakra.
Hachimata
I ran towards the chakra and soon met up with Kai. We both nodded and ran towards Shukaku's chakra.
"So another dark has awakened?" Kai asked.
"Yesss Dark Shukaku," I answered, "And I have a feeling Dark Kyuubi will break loose....and then.....Dark Hachimata....."
I watched as the fear explode in Kai's eyes. The pure terror in him seemed to radiate with his chakra.
"Hachi don't joke like that," Kai said trying to laugh it off.
"I am not joking....when exposed to a large amount of dark chakra.....it becomessss very hard to control him....and I may ssssnap....Kai.....you lack a dark ssside due to your lack of demonic memoriessss and I hope you will never aquire one....but......no and if I do sssnap.....I want you to ussse that massive chakra of yoursss and take everyone down."
"hachi I'm not that strong...." Kai started.
"You will have to be," I said flatly, "Because if Dark Hachi breaks loose...the first one he will try to kill will be you......and the next would be Maki....."
I saw the terror grow to a near explosive point in Kai's eyes.
"Protect yoursssself and protect Maki....." I ordered.
".........ok........" Kai said quietly.
We soon came to the fight. The dark chakra radiated and make a thick air. It was Shukaku's and for now only Shukaku's......
