| It was a fine day to hunt demons, with the fiery ball of light hanging high in the sky and casting its light and heat upon the lands. Of course, the leaves from the trees provided a comfortable shade across the forests, but these lands were different during than the day than they were night. He would pass by several spirits, most of them lower class and not worth his time, some of them not even being oni and ruling them out from the path of his blade all together. Rather than traveling through the air atop a disc of flame, the oni would kick into leaps, jumping from branch to branch as he practiced on his balance and coordination. Upon his shoulder was his usual companion, his lover and wife, the rat kami known as Atilla. She'd recently undergone the tragedy of having her race turn their backs to her, but she seemed to have taken it rather well. Still, some fresh air and a hunt was bound to get her in good moods, Shou had figured, with a smirk. Besides, perhaps it was better this way. Now the two of them had become outcasts to their own kinds, finding the greatest comforts with one another. "Hey. Atilla." The fyre demon started, glancing to the rodent. "How about a little boost, eh?" He would request with a grin, looking to move more swiftly through the wood. |

| | The kami held on tight as they went through the noontime woods beneath the canopy of the trees. It was slower than their usual speed, but she wasn't one to complain. She was on his shoulder, after all, not in his slightly more secure pocket, but she enjoyed the scent of his hair and the warmth of his neck to the dark security of his coattails. "You got it..." she said, thinking to practice her supporting magic a little before they reached their destination, wherever that may be. "Maiorem hac dilectionem nemo habet... Ut animam suam quis ponat pro amicis suis."* A mist owuld reach out from her body and fade into the oni's neck, lending her strength to him and causing teh strength to fade from her own body. Panting lightly from the exertion, she asked aloud,"Hey, you ever think maybe I should learn to fight in human form?"

| The woman was ever a pure one, looking out for even those that she would have been forced to do battle with. which was no easy feat to strike against an angel, but he could see the reasoning of her choice. The oni simply nodded, keeping his gaze forward. "We'll see about finding you a weapon to practice with, then, yeah?" He stated, trying to reassure the woman in her own insecurities. Further and much deeper into the forest, a small human child wriggled and thrashed within the binds of chains. Tears streamed from the boy's eyes and its cries were muffled by some sort of tag. Two male oni stood around a giant cauldron that had been neccessary for their ritual while legs dipped first into smokey and dark, murky waters before it consumed the entire form of the child. The taller, darker haired one of the pair widened his eyes as a smile spread across his lips. "It will be soon.. we need more sacrifices to unleash the power of our master." |

| "Atilla!" The oni shouted at the woman's move off his shoulder and moving closer towards the other that had all ready been declared an enemy. The man's smile didn't fade as he crouched low to the ground, extending a hand out towards the angel. "Hm, this spirit doesn't feel like an oni.. come here, little angel." He baded in his same melodic and friendly tone. The fyre demon shot forward atop a disc of flame that carried him above the rat, lifting Mabushiiken up high before him as he brought it slashing down towards the other. Before the blade of the katana would connect, though, five shadowy forms shot up from the ground, claws reaching out and slashing against the fyre demon and throwing him off of his path. "Guk!" Shou grunted, gritting his teeth as he was pushed back from his direction, landing near his original position before he had made his charge. "It's rude to interupt.. don't you know?" |

| | His voice seemed very reassuring to the woman, and were it not for the cry of her husband, she would have continued forward cautiously. As things were, she turned around to notice him coming forward and squeaked aloud when he was smacked by the shadows. Suddenly, she felt unsafe where she stood, but at the same time she figured if she tried to go back to him it would provoke the devil into attacking prematurely. She froze on the spot for a moment, her tail making a very stiff thrash before she stood as a stone on the spot. "Please be careful..." she explained, not making any move to attack the demon, but at the same time trying to think of what would be the safest thing to do in this situation that she'd gotten herself into without thinking it through. "He is my husband, Demon-sama."

| "Husband, hmm?" His eyes regarded the oni with some amusement before he chuckled and stood fully back to his feet. "Well, then. That makes you little interest. An angel tainted can hardly be considered an angel at all." Before him a large shadow rose up to seperate the two of them. It suddenly broke apart, forming countless needles that shot out towards the rat and demon both. Again Shou ran forward, "Atilla!" He yelled once more, a growl of frustration within his voice, as a burst of flame erupted just before the rat, a flamewall that ate away at the needles that came into it. It would extinguish a moment later as Shou charged forward above the rodent once more, Mabushiiken swinging around. A shadow emerged and blocked the oncoming blade, a wave extended out to cover the light-haired demon's side. "A demon of flame, hmm?" The shadow that had blocked the blade exploded into needles as the one before it had, puncturing into the fyre demon's chest to send him back once more. |

| His shoes touched back down on the ground, growling lightly from the several wounds that littered his body, small and miniscule cuts that individually bled against the fabric of his torn clothes. The other demon lifted slowly off the air, glancing around his surroundings as he seemed to unwillingly levitate. "Oh? Haha.. how delightful." The man said, the smile remaining ever present before looking back towards the pair. "It'll take more, though." Shadows seemed to consume his body and the demon disappeared from his spot. They reappeared just behind the fyre demon, a bulb of shadow energy unblossoming around him as he spun with his blade drawn. The tip of the blade dug across the man's back, but the next instant had fire suddenly blasting outwards from the sides of each of them, encasing their area with a dome of flames while the oni shot a glare over his shoulder. "Oho." The dark-clothed demon chuckled, before the flames crashed down on the both of them, Shou remaining standing strong in face of his own magic. |

| As the flames lifted away from the area, the shadow oni stumbled back before disappearing from his spot once more, though Shou was able to catch sight of the burns on the man. "Don't apologize, Atilla." The fyre demon stated, with a smirk upturning the corner of his lip as his hand gripped down more firmly on the hilt of Mabushiiken. "We'll beat this guy for sure." The oni stated firmly as his opponent reappeared ahead to face them, chuckling lightly even at the light of his new wounds. The red hair of the fyre demon began to rise and spike outwards, trailing all the way down his back in a mane. Growling, his canines sharpened and elongated, transforming into great sabre fangs. As his sword arm trembled with a growing bloodlust, his pupils sharpened into cat eyes. "Haha.. rushing to that so soon?" The shadow demon taunted, before horns bursted forth from his skull, lifting up into the air. His arms and legs buldged with the sudden arrival of toned muscles, while a silver ring looped beneath his nostrils. |

| | "Oh my... a bull..." the mouse guessed, her tone conveying marvel as she saw the change come over the enemy, not really noticing so much the change in her own partner. Her paw lay against the fabric of his shirt, blue healing energy traveling through her arm and a short distance until it reached the skin of the oni and helped mend the small, bleeding wounds. "Not good at all." She judged that she probably wouldn't be able to nail him with her newfound gravity magix, so she should probably just try to assist Shou in breaking through any defenses he may have. They were still synced, but the slight adrenaline rush from having escaped the unsafe ground kept her from feeling the full effect of her weariness. "There's no way he should be able to resist if you rush him now... Levavi oculos meos in montes, unde veniet auxilium meum?"* The monotone murmur came fast and low, mist rising off of her body and curling into a sparkling cloud that deposited its load on the lion oni but, because of its targeting and the slight wind, failed to touch the other demon. "If you rush and he tosses the needles... I have a way to take care of that."

| The demon snorted through what seemed to be larger nostrils, before he chuckled lightly. "I have to say, I'm having quite a deal of fun.." His tone was no longer melodic nor soft, a roughness that represented the animal he was. "I'll tell you my name, fire demon.. Aidan." He bent at the knees around the time Shou felt the increase in power from Atilla, ever grateful for the woman's blessings. Through her, he could feel the strength of Bleaus filling him as he gripped the hilt of Mabushiiken ever tighter. "Aidan Vacon!" The fyre demon thought to move forward and strike with his new speeds, but he might have blinked his set of crimson orbs once before the other had bursted to come just before him. His short sword swung around, but Mabushiiken caught and intercepted it. "Oho.. you've gotten faster, eh?" The bull would comment, while the lion pressed down onto the blade, a grin drawing fast on his face. "Better, faster, stronger!" He swiped the blade forward, pushing the short sword and the owner back through the air. Aidan was caught by surprise of the sudden brawn that was backed in the swing, finding himself vulnerable in the air. The next instant that he knew brought that same katana plunging into his stomach, his eyes widening at the weapon's entrance into his body. The second instant had him dissipitating into shadows once more, re-appearing some distance aways as he clutched at his stomach. "Ugh!" He suddenly coughed up blood as a foot slammed into the same point of entry, the fyre demon's attacks coming quick and unrelenting as his body flew through the air and his back smashed against a tree, falling to the ground. |

| | Atilla winced, never being one for the site of blood and simply clung on as tight as she could, figuring that the battle would be over soon. But then, as the attacks went on, she opened one eye and found that it frankly didn't bother her. Such a surprise, she looked up and blinked at the pounding her mate was delivering to this other demon, blood everywhere and all. "Must be the memories of my bad side..." she reflected in a low murmur, somewhat surprised by her own lack of revulsion for such things. If she were to do anything now, it would probably only mess up the good demon's several hit combo, so she sat and waited patiently, taking the time to run her paws over her ears and clean her face.

| Shou was on the slumping form of the man in an instant, his free hand snatching outwards to grip the other's neck within his hold, having him pinned against the tree still dazed. Though Mabushiiken remained in his grip, it didn't slow the onslaught of punches that brought the fyre demon's knuckles bashing into the face of the other, drawing blood on the first, bringing forth a loud crack of the bull's nose on the second, and damage only increased severely worse as a third, fourth, and fifth followed. There fast became no need to count how many times he punched, for they came on swiftly and with full force, eventually the bull's head breaking through the bark of the tree and sending the structure crashing down onto the forest floor. The oni then whirled his body around, thrusting and releasing the bull oni into the air, his movement not halting even as he smashed through a set of branches and came out atop the forest's trees. Five blades of fire suddenly surrounded the man's position after forming and molding into their scimitar forms, moving forward as they stabbed him from every angle. His eyes widened, the first movement he made from the daze he had been put in, the burn of the flame fast bringing him alert once more. The demon, Aidan, disappeared under a veil of shadows once more, coming again on the ground within Shou's sight. "Another time.." The bull demon managed to grunt weakly, seeing his defeat clearly. Before the hunter could move, he spotted the other dipping into the shadow of a tree and disappearing from the area all together. "Tch..!" |

| "I think so." The oni growled, still grasped within his transformation as a grin drew from the corner of his lips. Shou turned his attention in the original direction they had been heading, shooting forward in a dash as he manuevered his way through the trees, avoiding each one. He came upon what looked as a campsite in the woods, an area that appeared as if fire had been burnt and some rope tossed on the ground. "Heh, damn." Shou remarked, disappointed as his transformation lifted from his body, returning to his original state. He stroked Atilla gently atop her head with warmed fingers, gesturing that she could release her spells of enchantment. For now, this battle appeared to be won. |

| | The mouse lifted her head a bit into his finger, always enjoying his warm touch and, in the same instant dropping her enhance technique. She was quite worn out at the end of it all and collapsed in a little heap over the shoulder she lay on. After a few short gasps, she wrinkled her nose, her whiskers twitching at the ashes and ashen rope that lay like some dead creeping thing on the ground. As a matter of fact, this entire area creeped her out a bit, she couldn't be sure why. "A rope... they..." A brief memory flashed through her head of the last time she'd been bound by a rope; it had been in these very woods. She reached around to her rosary and began counting off the beads, murmuring a short phrase before asking, a bit of pain in her voice, "Do you think we were too late for someone, Takashou-sama?"

| "Heh. My kind isn't all that dull." The oni replied, thinking the angel's comment had been one of disbelief to the notion. Shou crouched down in front of the burnt out pieces of wood, sniffing lightly at the air, noting that it couldn't have been long since there was a flame here. His crimson orbs then scanned the ground for tracks that might have been left behind, his hunter instincts guiding him as he wouldn't have minded pursuing in chase. He picked up on nothing, though, figuring these spirits must have taken flight, or used a transportation akin to the bull demon's. The oni sighed, standing back up to his full height. He had won a fight, but he would have surely lost it without Atilla's blessings. Not to mention that the demon hadn't even been killed, still out at large with time to recover. His own weaknesses were clearly present to him. "Tch.. thats annoying." Shou grumbled, kicking over the logs of the campfire. |
