Tenam Sentou! Let's Slay Some Demons!!!

[BlueDevil]

Prologue

((I could not resist typing this up, and I'll probably work on it along with Conquering. It is influenced by Bleach, but hopefully the main story will be pretty original! :3))

There are four types of sentient beings that roam among three different realms known as the High Realm, the Earth Realm, and the Underworld.

There are the police of all three realms, more commonly known as Marshalls, whose headquarters is based in High Realm. They serve as protectors, judges and executioners.
Then, there are the humans, who are unknowing of the other three, and only walk among Earth Realm until death, when they are judged for their deeds and either sent to High Realm or the Underworld.

And finally, there are two types of demons. The Fallen, which are simply Humans and Marshalls who’ve performed hanus deeds and are banished to the lower Realm, known as the Underworld, and then the Immortals, which are the higher class demons who stole many of the Marshalls’ powers years ago.

Today, there are three Marshalls in existence, who are still intact with their powers. As far as the Immortals are concerned, they own all three realms, and don’t worry about the Marshalls, and although they don’t have the ability to interact with humans…there is a legend. One Marshall, still young in his own right, possesses the power that holds back the demons…the Book of Tenma. It’s a prisoner catalogue that if kept within the sacred barrier, will seal away any demons listed in the book. Every year that the book is kept within the barrier is said to add one demon to the list of those that are released after a period of time. Of course, the demons are picked, and after every fifteen years, released based on who behaved the best. The top fifteen most well-behaved demons are released…however, if there isn’t a list…who gets out? Our Marshall, and his roommate will soon find out.


Modern Day Earth - Fairweather College, Male Dorms

Sam was on his first day at college, asking many of the same questions that everyone else did. Will it be hard? Will I be successful? Will my teachers like me? Will I make friends? Who is my roommate?

Well, for Sam, most of his questions would be answered with a simple 'No'...except for the last one. Sam's roommate was a special fella. Sam's roommate was a superhero compared to every other person on the green ball of Earth. And his name was Ken. Sam's first impression of Ken was a jumpy, non-social jerk, because upon entering his dorm, Sam was met with a very unpleasant hello.

Ken piled all of his books into his chest, hugging them closely to his body, "Who the hell are you?!"

"Uhm...your roommate? Hi, I'm Sam Copper." Sam said with a smile, extending his hand out.

"A Copper? Well, I'm Ken..." He put out his left hand, dropping a couple of books as he did so, and shook Sam's hand very quickly before tossing all of his books back on his bunk. Papers flew everywhere. Ken turned around, "Uhm...sorry, hope you didn't want this bed."

Sam shrugged and put his bags next to the second bed, "It's alright, I prefer the one next to the window..." Sam paused, looking down at a few of the bags next to Ken, and spotted one in particular. It was a bright, red bag, with a picture of kitty, smiling really big. Really big, "What's...in that?" Sam asked, pointing at the bag.

Ken stopped shuffling through his books, and followed Sam's finger, looking at the bag, "A book."

Sam raised a brow, "What kinda book? Is it another school book?"

Ken sighed, shaking his head around in a frantic manner, trying to get back to his other collection of books on the bed, "No no...not a school book. More of a diary I guess. Do not mess with it."

"Okay, jeez...I wasn't gunna..." Sam scratched his head, putting his other hand up in defense.

"Good! Now don't you have a few classes to get to or something?"

"Yeah...don't you?" Sam questioned back.

"Er...yeah! I'm sure yours are more urgent...now git!" Ken waved his hands, shooing Sam off, tossing his backpack at him before he left.

When Sam came back to the dorm, Ken was already asleep, all of his books piled up in nice, neat stacks on his dresser, and all of his bags in his corner of the room. But that red bag was still visible. And it was taunting Sam. So much to the point, that he quietly set his backpack down, and began tiptoeing over to the bag. It was when the tips of his fingers grazed the bag's strap, that Ken's eyes shot open, and he flew into Sam, "What the hell man! Can't you respect a man's privates?!"

"Dude...please...reword that. And I'm sorry."

"Sorry?! Pfft, whatever! Get into your bed! I'll be watching you." Ken threatened.

Sam's eyes widened as he slipped out from under Ken, and into his bed. It was a long night, filled with no sleep, but the replacing feeling of curiosity.

Upon the sun rising, Sam sat up, looking around. Ken was gone. When did that happen? Sam must have fallen asleep at some point. But he didn't care about that now. It was the perfect opportunity to get his hands on that bag! And so he did. It was a quick fifteen seconds before the book was in his hands. He fondled around with the clip-lock on it, before popping it open. His brow shot up in a confused manner. The book was full of symbols and pictures that he couldn't read. They all looked like sharp lines to him. He replaced one of the books in his backpack with the book from the bag, determined to find out something.

 

[BlueDevil]

Placing his school book in the red bag, he placed it back in the exact position it was originally in, and that was when the toilet flushed and Ken stepped from the bathroom. "Aha! Trying to sneak into my bag AGAIN?! What is wrong with you?! Gah! Go get some breakfast you cretin!"

Sam shook his head, breaking for the dorm room door. He did what Ken said, and stopped by the cafeteria to order some breakfast, eating while he studied the strange book some more. Finally fed up for the moment, he put the book away, and slipped into his first class. A science classroom, with a teacher that dressed too classy for her own good. There were about twenty other students in the room too, and they all probably thought the same thing about her. She was fat, and she dressed in tight-fitting dress clothes.

Sam cringed, once more whipping the book out to distract him from her. He was deep in concentration when a young red-headed woman leaned over his shoulder, flicking his head through his scraggly, brown hair, "Whatcha doin? That doesn't look like the class book."

Sam hushed her, furrowing his brows and whispering, "It's not! It's my roommates diary. I've been trying to read it...but he writes in some weird language or something. He's actually a weird guy all around. I can't even get past that starch-white hair of his. It's just strange."

"You know, it's rude to go through people's privates." She said with a smirk.

Sam raised his brow again, "Why does everyone keep saying it like that?!"

Then the teacher interrupted them both, "Excuse me! Mr. Copper, Ms. Voihi, would you both like to come up here and explain Quantum Physics to the class, seeing as how you both obviously know enough already to be interrupting me!"

Sam scratched his head, and slowly stood up closing the book, followed by Ms. Voihi. He looked back at her, "Nice going...sheesh."

She giggled, "My pleasure."

Sam sighed, stepping up to the board, and picked up the blue-tipped marker, "So...uhm...Quantum Physics? Yeah...okay."

The class started laughing, and Voihi sighed, shaking her head before stepping past Sam, "Quantum mechanics, or QM, is a set of scientific principles describing the known behavior of energy and matter that predominate at the atomic scale. QM gets its name from the notion of quantum, and the quantum value is the Planck constant..." Sam's mouth dropped open as she continued to speak about the topic.

When she was finally done, the teacher nodded with approval, but quickly frowned upon looking at Sam, "Did you get all of that Mr. Copper?! I'd hope so, because I'm quizzing you all over the subject tomorrow. It will be a four-hundred point grade! Class dismissed."

Everyone groaned as they exited the room, heading out for their next class or lunch. Sam sighed, wiping a trickle of sweat from his head, before grabbing the book and heading out. To his surprise, the red-headed girl was following him, and as he turned, she hopped in front of him, "So Mr. Copper, you going to introduce me to yourself properly?"

"Uh...sure? I'm Sam Copper, and it's my first year here at Fairweather."

"First year, eh? Mine too. By the way, I'm Kira Voihi."

Sam nodded, "Pretty name...but what is a Voihi?"

She giggled again, about to explain when all of the sudden, Sam was snatched away by the collar and drug to the ground. It was none other than the insane looking Ken himself, "Where's my book at?! You have NO idea what you've done! They're on their way, and it's your fault! The absolute last thing I want to do is fight off a DOZEN Immortals!"

Sam was freaking out under the pressure of the knee on his chest, and the confusing rant Ken was on, "Whoa! Okay! What the hell are you talking about?!"

"That's right..." Ken looked around frantically, "...you have no idea...you're just a human."

"Just a human! What the hell does that mean?!" Sam struggled.

"Dammit! I can already feel them...Sam, get out of here! Run right now! I didn't have a damned list made...it'd be my luck that the loony-whacks get released!"

"Seriously man! What the **** are you talking about?!" Sam said, darting up upon being released. He looked at Ken for a long thirty seconds, before Ken spoke up again.

"They're here! Now! RUN YOU JACKASS!"

Sam had no idea what he was talking about, but he grabbed Kira's hand and spun around the closest tree, peeking out at Ken.

Kira looked at Sam with a wide pair of glossy, blue eyes. "What's going on?! What did you do to him? What was in that diary?"

"I don't think it was a diary..." Sam said, falling on his back as a Katana materialized in Ken's hand. "WHERE THE HELL DID THAT THING COME FROM?! HE'S GOT A SAMURAI SWORD?!"

It was what Ken used it on that surprised Sam and Kira even more, for as the sword came into view, as did some of the strangest looking...monsters? that Sam had ever seen. But what made it even freakier was that these were real! Black clouds began appearing all around the campus, all around Ken. And out of them poured a swath of demons. Ken began cutting through them all, shouting out at no one in particular, "Where are they all coming from?! There shouldn't be this damned many!"

Then a cloud appeared right next to Sam.

((By the way...the title is screwed up. It's supposed to be Tenma...not Tenam XD...and I can't fix it T_T))

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

Okay, I'm gonna say right now that Ken is absolutely insane. I think the infinite knowledge of being unable to die melted his brain or something. Plus, you'd think with the time he's had on this earth he'd have learned proper conversational mannerisms.

Sam is at no fault here. Anyone else would've done the same thing. It would be nice in the next chapter to see him fight the demon in front of him instead of acting like a schoolgirl and running.

 

[BlueDevil]

Well...I'd be paranoid too if the first thing some random kid drifted toward was probably the most important book EVER. And the red bag with the happy kitty will be explained. So don't think that that was just some retarded thing. XD But yes, I made Ken out to be a little crazy.

 

[BlueDevil]

Chapter 1: Allow Me To Buy You That Yogurt

A muscular arm poked it's way out of the cloud, smashing into the tree right above Sam's head, when the rest of the demon appeared, "GGGYEEEEEEE! WHAT IS THAT?!" Sam cried out as the pale, hairless, dog-like thing came out.

Sam pushed Kira away, and then took his book-heavy bag and swung it up into the things jaw. A loud crack sounded off, and the demon shrieked, "GWAR...What the- YOU SEE ME?!"

Sam raised a brow in fear, rolling out of the way before another claw zipped over his head. Sam took his book bag, and swiped it across the side of things head. It twirled though the air and hit the ground, kicking up dirt as it landed, before Ken's Katana plunged into its ribs.

Sam looked up at Ken, one tooth poking out, "What's going on?! You give me some answers RIGHT now!"

Ken widened his eyes, seemingly shaking his head at Sam's stupidity, "You obviously have no perception of the situation, even if you can see these demons! Take the girl and hide in our dorm. Right now...I'm the only one they're really after. I'll explain more once this is finished!"

With that, Sam ran over to Kira, who was still on the ground from when he pushed her, and grabbed her hand, pulling her toward the male dorms.

She glanced at him, "I don't think I can go in there!"

Sam almost tripped over himself at the statement, "I don't think that matters right now!"

Sam kicked the door open, rushing up one flight of stairs, Kira at his side, before they made it to his room. Entering, he immediately stuffed Ken's book back into the red bag, "I hope this works!"

Sam ran over to the window and peeked out, "...it didn't work!"

Sam and Kira just knelt down on the farthest wall from the window, waiting for everything to stop. And eventually, it did. It was a long fifteen minutes since they'd been in the courtyard, but Ken finally walked into the dorm, "You...YOU! Don't you ever do anything I tell you NOT to do...AGAIN!"

Sam raised a brow, "So what the hell was this all about?"

Kira stood, and attempted to leave, but was stopped by Ken, "Did you see what happened?"

"What? The monsters...and you with that sword? Yes..." Kira said, stepping back, intimidated.

Ken scoffed, "Well sit down, because here's the thing. Us three...we're the only ones that saw any of it."

Sam wrinkled his nose, "Liar...there's no way."

"Oh...but there is! You see...you two obviously aren't human. At least, completely. Someone in your family was a Marshall, or perhaps...something else completely. It's totally coincidence that you both met and ended being a part of this!"

Kira frowned, "Marshall?"

Ken sighed, "Oh damn. Okay, let me start from the beginning of time itself." Ken paused, "A long time ago, when the Earth was formed, with it came two other realms. High Realm and the Underworld. Now I'm pretty sure most human religions have something to the effect, the most recognizable being Heaven. Anyway...you see, Humans were created simply as a labor force by something called the Divine Being, whom you'd refer to as a Devil. Along with humans, Marshalls were created. But after so long, the idea of slaving a whole race of beings became cruel to some Marshalls, and so the higher forces divided into two armies, and probably the bloodiest war ever ensued-"

Sam cut in, "What is a Marshall?"

Ken grunted, "Don't interrupt...but a Marshall is basically a peace keeper among all three realms, including your Earth. They try to make sure that no intermingling occurs between demons and humans, and when someone dies, Marshalls are sent to judge them and send them to the Underworld, or High Realm."

Sam nodded, and then Kira cut in, "What's this have to do with those monsters and us?"

Ken shook his fist, "Damn you interrupting monkeys! Gah, assuming that you had a family member that was either a demon or a Marshall would explain that. Actually, not assuming, just knowing. There's no other way. And as for those demons...well, you can thank Sam for that. He grabbed up the Book of Tenma from it's barrier."

"Wait what?" Sam questioned, puzzled.

"That book! The one you took from the red bag! It's a catalog of imprisoned demons. Any name that's written in that book will be trapped in the lowest level of the Underworld, called the Pit. Every year the book is kept within the sacred barrier gives one demon the chance to be released. A ritual is performed every fifteen years. I make a list of fifteen demons that are deserving of release, and then burn it. Upon doing so, I remove the book from the barrier, and after about an hour or so, the demons are released to live new lives."

Sam looked at Ken, "And...you picked that gay, little, red backpack as the barrier? Seriously...you are strange."

Ken snarled, "GUH, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE WELL HIDDEN! Who would think to look in a cute, red bag for a book of imprisoned souls?! What, aside from sniveling snot-faces like yourself!"

"HEY! Oh whatever...how many years has it been since the last ritual?"

Ken thought, "Thirteen. Which means that thirteen demons should have been released. BUT! Because I didn't have a list...random ones got released, and...for some strange reason...a whole lot more than thirteen got out."

Sam stood as the intercom erupted out over the entire campus, "We're sorry for this announcement. All staff and students are to stay in designated dorm rooms and offices until further notice. We're recovering from an invasion by a wild pack of rabid dogs."

Sam raised his brow even higher, "What?!"

Ken nodded, "I lied to the higher-ups about what happened. They seemed to believe it."

Kira frowned again, "Why didn't you tell them what really happened?!"

Ken chuckled, "Well, missy...you think they'd believe that I fought off an entire force of demons who came to destroy me, you and probably the whole school? No...besides, there are more pressing matters at hand then the cover up. I want to know who you two are related to."

Sam's stomach grumbled, "Maybe after we eat?"

Almost as if answering his calls, the intercom came back on, "Okay, Fairweather. An extensive search by our security staff has confirmed that the school is safe. You may proceed with the rest of your day."

Sam darted out of the door, followed by Kira and Ken. The cafeteria's food options weren't great though, so Sam settled for a Philly-Steak and Cheese sandwich. Kira sat next to him, "This is all so weird..."

Sam looked at her, and spoke with his mouth full, "We get attacked by monsters, have it revealed to us that we're the only ones that see the monsters, and all you can see is 'weird'?"

"Well...yeah...weird." She said, looking through her purse, "Aw damn, I'm outta money." Kira sighed, looking over at the Blueberry Yogurt in the display glass.

Sam looked at it too, "Allow me to buy you that yogurt."

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

Wow! I'm glad Sam is the kind to at least do something about monsters instead of hiding. He reminds me of Harry Mason.

 

[Vergil'sBitch]

Hey, it's really good.
Although, i do have a confession to make... I've never seen Bleach... I only know that the guy who does the Voice of Nero, does the voice of the main character.

 

[BlueDevil]

I've actually only read the first few Manga, and watched a few of the episodes in the series. But, go to www.onemanga.com and you can find all of the Bleach Manga there, along with a crapload of others.

Chapter 2: None Of That Ditsy, Crazy Crap...

Ken was actually happy for the first time in quite a while, sitting in the small chair, surrounded by a room full of other students all holding musical instruments. He was in the String Section of the band orchestra on a Cello, gently sliding the instrument's bow against the strings producing the best sound in the whole band. As soon as the song ended, the teacher, Mr. Akira Musaragi, sat forward and applauded. Ken could tell the old man was drunk, and as Akira fondled around with his long goatee, he spoke up, "Good job, students! Well done, indeed! And let's thank our only male member for producing such a wonderful bass sound."

The class of females all turned and faced Ken, nodding and giggling as they gently clapped, and then Akira began to speak once more, "Yes, yes, now, calm down. I'd like you all to prepare a warm welcome for our newest student. Hopefully she'll be just as pretty and talented as all of you young'ns."

And that was when Sam stepped though the door, immediately spotting Ken, "Yo! What's up man?!"

Ken felt his arm tense up, and as it did so, his bow slid against the Cello with such force, that two of the strings popped. He cringed at the sound of Sam, "G-Hello...Sam."

Sam smiled, "Heh, wow, might want to be more caref-"

Akira cut in, "Ah, my apologies, I thought you'd surely be another female..."

Sam chuckled, "Nope...I got past all of your feminine propaganda in the halls. I'm here for the music."

"Yes...well-" Akira was cut off as well.

"Sam? What a surprise." Kira stood up from the back, holding a Trumpet, and waved. Sam smiled, waving back.

Then another girl popped up right next to Kira, "HEY! Mr. Musaragi?"

Akira turned, a big grin on his face as he stared, not at the girl, but her obscenely large breasts, "Yes Hotaru?"

"Mmmm-May I use the bathroom?!" She said, embarrassed.

Sam raised a brow at Akira, who seemed to be drooling. "Yes, of course!" Akira shouted, a big grin covering his face.

Sam eased over to Ken, who looked slightly redder than usual, "Hey...uhm, is this teacher...okay?"

Ken looked up at Sam, and took a deep breath, "Think about all of the feminine advertising. It's obvious that this man is a drunken perv."

Sam smirked, "Wow, I guess every school has to have some kinda pervy, old person."

Ken shook his head, "I guess. Hurrrr, what instrument do you play."

Sam brought his finger up, but was no sooner run over by Hotaru. Sam twitched as the stampeding girl dashed out of the door, and Ken managed a quick chuckle, "As you were saying..."

"The...T-Trom...bone...geeeh." He laid on the floor and closed his eyes for a moment.

-----

Sam felt a throbbing pain fill his entire body as he laid across his bed, when a sharp sting pierced the back of his head, and he turned to witness non-other than the smirking face of Ken, "Hey, Dope. C'mon, I need your help. Oh! AND go get that girlfriend of yours."

"G-Girlfriend?! You talking 'bout Kira?! She's not my-"

"Loosen up, jeez." Ken chuckled and grabbed Sam by the collar, dragging him out of the dorm.

"Where the hell are we going?" Sam struggled against the mighty power of the two-finger drag.

"I told you...I need your help!"

"With what dammit?!" Sam exclaimed.

Ken opened up the doors to outside and flung Sam out into the grass, "Go get the girl. I'll be waiting right here."

"You piece of- ugh, whatever." And so Sam complied and stepped into the female dorms.

Upon entering, he was hit with the smells and sights of extreme feminine-ness. He stepped in farther, only to have a hand shoved so far into his face, that it felt as if his nose went inverted. Staring straight into the biggest, brownest pair of eyes he'd ever seen, Sam was quickly pushed back outside by Hotaru, "You're not supposed to be in here, silly!"

Sam hesitated, "Well...er, can you go get Kira for me?"

"Kira Viohi? Sure!" She smiled and ran back inside.

Sam gently stroked his nose, cringing in pain, "Gah...that girl is a rhino!"

Ken poked him in the shoulder, appearing from behind once more, "Where's Kira?"

Sam shrugged, "I don't know. That other girl said she'd go get her. Wouldn't let me in. And would you please stop creeping up on me out of nowhere?! Can we try that?"

Ken raised a brow, "Huh? Whaddya mean, creeping up on you?"

"Ugh, nevermind." Sam shook his head, letting his hand drop from his nose.

Kira popped out of the doors, "What do you two want with me right now?"

Sam shrugged, "Don't ask me. Ask loser onion-head over here."

Ken pushed Sam to the ground before speaking, "I need you two to help me with something. You see, I got an important message from someone in H-h-h-h-heeeellloooo" Ken stopped talking as Hotaru popped out from behind Kira.

"Hi! You're a big guy." She said, giggling, as she looked up at him.

Ken scratched his head, "Uhm...okay? Could you please...shoo?"

Hotaru gasped and dropped to her knees, almost instantly tearing up, "DON'T YOU LIKE ME?!"

"Oh Jesus Christ! Fine you can stay!!!"

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!" Hotaru screamed in happiness, her entire body seemingly turning into rubber as she danced around the three of them.

Ken raised a brow in horror, "Yeah...anyway, I got a call...from...my sister."

Sam grinned, "You've got a sister?! But you're a M-" Ken smacked Sam across the face, knocking him to the ground once more.

"Idiot! Don't bring up **** like that while there are other ears dancing around us!" Ken snarled.

Kira giggled, "Wow, I don't think I've ever seen someone get beat on as much as you, Sam. But...sister? How come you didn't tell us this before?"

"Well...she's like me. Erm, another one of the same occupation, rather. Honestly she's absolutely NOTHING like me. Even if we are twins." Ken grunted.

"D'awww, big, bad man has a twin! How cute!" Kire joked.

Sam sat up once more, surprised by the still dancing Hotaru, and looked back at Sam, "Why's she need our help?"

"Well...apparently, somethings happened, in the other two R-er...places. The thirteen that escaped, got out in those two places."

"PRISONERS?! OH WOW!" Hotaru yelled out as she spun around them several more times, before finally crashing into the ground, passed out.

Ken looked down at her, "Damn...that chick is crazy. Anyway! As I was saying..." Ken began to whisper, "The thirteen other demons got released all over High Realm and the Underworld, and one even got out on Earth Realm. All of those other demons that got out...they were just decoys for the bigger ones to escape. They weren't even real."

"So...let me guess. You want our help on hunting them down." Sam asked, already knowing the answer.

"Yup...three is better than one, right? Go get a couple changes of clothes. We won't be back for a while. We need to go find the first one before something bad happens, and the closest one would be the one here in Earth Realm...so let's go kick his ass."

Then, almost out of nowhere, Hotaru flew up in the middle of all of them, "YOU SEE THE GHOSTS TOO?!?!"

Ken fell down, yelping from fear. Sam raised a brow, "You were listening to us that whole time, weren't you?"

"Of course. I have the skills of a ninja. I am like a chicken-nugget in the wind. My spying skills are undetectable."

Kira scoffed, "Wait...you see the demons too?"

"Yeah! I saw them yesterday when they attacked the school! I didn't think anyone else actually saw them though, so I didn't say anything."

Ken stood back up, "There sure are a ton of you special kids at this school...ugh, change three to four I guess. BUT NONE OF THAT DITSY, CRAZY CRAP...okay?"

Hotaru nodded, smiling.

 

[BlueDevil]

Hey...don't pay any mind to a few spelling or grammar errors. I didn't have time to check it .

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

Uhhh... I retract my statement about Ken being crazy... And restate it, this time for Hotaru. Why is the big-boobed girl ALWAYS stupid? :\

 

[NotSoAwesomeFaise]

Uhhh... I retract my statement about Ken being crazy... And restate it, this time for Hotaru. Why is the big-boobed girl ALWAYS stupid? :\

Because they have big boobs...? XD

Awesome fic, OP.

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

Because they have big boobs...? XD

Maybe their brains slowly flow into them as they get older...

 

[Devil Bane]

Hint,hint : See Love Hina and chech the girl Mutsumi.She has big breasts turning enormous in the end and she is the FREAKING GENIUS of the planet.Yet she is extremely feverish weak and absent-minded[though that fades?].I can find many other examples,but I believe this one to be the one filled with more win than the others.

 

[Ronan]

I like it..Akira still makes me laugh.

Chapter 3: And Down He Goes

"Listen to me you empty-headed diptard! We're going to the damned park because that was the last place that the demon was detected! My sister said so, and she wouldn't give us a false lead on such a thing!" Ken shook his fist angrily at Sam, who was amongst Kira and Hotaru, who both seemed to be giggling at Ken.

"Well...I'm just saying...the park. What kind of demon hides in the park?" Sam questioned.

Ken smacked him across the face, sending him flying into the nearby wall, a vain bulging out of his forehead, "A park is the perfect place for a demon to stay! He's been released into this realm...so he actually has the ability to interact with humankind. And if he's a baddy, then he'll probably go on a killing spree!"

Sam twitched, crawling out of the hole in the wall, "Then...what the hell, let's go."

"Alright!" Ken flung his arms up in the air, walking out of the school gates, "Let's go, before I kill you guys."

Kira giggled once more, shoving Sam as she passed by to follow Ken, "Sheesh, you really upset that guy."

Hotaru followed right behind her, "I think that man's a hunk."

Sam sighed, rubbing his cheek where the almighty palm of Ken thrust itself upon him so violently.

Sam, Ken, Kira and Hotaru all finally left school in the morning, before first lunch even started. They'd probably get some trouble for it later, but the time was now, and pondering on such things would distract them from the task at hand. Ken wasn't given complete specifics, but from the message he'd received from his sister, the one demon that was actually on Earth right now would be somewhere in or close to the park.

As soon as they arrived at the park, Ken stopped and turned to the other three, "Alright, here's how this is going to work out. Sam, you and Kira will take the right half of the park, while me and...her..." Ken paused, immediately regretting his choice, "...search the left half. We'll meet back here in fifteen minutes if no one finds him."

Sam nodded and set off, Kira tagging closely behind him, before Ken yelled out, "And for Christ's sake...do not die. It's not that I care if you live or not...I just don't want to go through the trouble of explaining what the hell happened."

Sam turned to Kira, "How comforting. He loves us." Kira giggled, and they both turned back to search the right side of the park, while Ken and Hotaru crossed over the small bridge above a filthy creek to search the left.

The park was dead. Completely devoid of any activity aside from the four of them searching. That was the ultimate conclusion that Sam had come up with after him and Kira searched about half of their side. It'd already been seven minutes since they started their search. The only odd thing was that it was strangely cold for a Spring day.

A nearby tree ruffled very loudly, catching Sam's attention, and as he looked, he saw a figure shrouded in ragged, white clothing. A Kimono. The person began walking away, and Sam quickly chased after him, "Hey, wait!"

The person turned, eyes wide, "You...see me?"

Sam was less than a yard away when a force of energy blasted out from the person, knocking him back, "You've come to the wrong place, boy...but wait. Hmm, you're not a Longheart. Yet you're the one I detected. Tamayata thought that you'd be Ken Longheart."

Sam sat up, nose bleeding, before he turned to Kira, "What the hell! Don't just stand there, go get Ken!" He yelled.

Hopping up onto his feet, he began running after the still man. Suddenly, his entire body froze in place, and the man started speaking again, "You have spunk. Unfortunately, even though you're the one we detected, I still must find the Longheart family. Starting with Ken...I know he's near here."

"Ugh! I don't know who you are, but let me go!"

"Let you go? That's not an option. If you go, Tamayata would not be pleased. You have such a powerful force of energy flowing within you, that letting you go would be like letting go of a gold-mine."

"W-what the hell are you talking about?!" Sam strained to break free of his imprisonment.

"You haven't been told by Ken yet have you? Tell me, what's your last name?"

"It's Copper! What does it matter?!" Sam yelled.

"C-Copper?! Hmph! Surely not." The man hesitated, rubbing his hand through short cut, black hair.

"You cannot be a descendant of the Copper clan. It is so unl-" The man was cut off by Ken's voice, who appeared with Kira and Hotaru.

"You're wrong. He's very much a Copper. I sense it in his blood! He just hasn't learned how to hone his power. If he was skilled at all, he could kill us all."

"Ah, Ken. Just in time. Tamayata wants to see you. I'm afraid we've already got your older brother, Hikaru, and it's only a matter of time until we have your sister, Ren." The man smiled.

"Wait...Atitashi?! Is that you?! YOU BASTARD! What are you doing with Tamayata?!" Ken growled, "You...you were our friend, Atitashi!"

"I'm truly sorry, Ken. When the Book of Tenma was released from it's barrier, Tamayata quickly gathered his clan together and escaped. But because there were only twelve of them, and it's been thirteen years, they released me. I couldn't turn down the offer, and if I did, I would surely be hunted down upon my freedom however long from now. I had no choice." Atitashi shook his head.

"NO CHOICE?! You joined Tamayata! THERE IS ALWAYS A CHOICE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL, and now I see clearly that you are evil to the core." Ken, shaking in rage, allowed his Katana to materialize in his hands.

Atitashi looked at the sword, "A fight?"

Okay, this is kind of creepy... That, and I SERIOUSLY wish that Sam will finally smack Ken upside the head and tell him that ordering other people around isn't the best way to keep people on your side. I mean, seriously? Why does Sam put up with this?

 

[BlueDevil]

Creepy? Hah! How is it creepy?
And...there's plenty of time for Sam to gather up the courage to smack Ken back XD.

Well... Creepy wasn't the right word. I meant... I dunno. If I was Ken, I'd be pretty ticked, that's for sure. Although, he ALWAYS seems to be ticked. If it were me, I'd be enjoying killing a whole slew of demons. ESPECIALLY if there was a Katana involved. (I love katana's. I have one, for crying out loud! )

I must admit that I agree with Dreadnought. A katana is a plus to any situation XD
