The Devil's Deal!

Chapter 9: Slayer and Demon's Alliance!

Sora's P.O.V

I looked forward as he walked down the alley, being engulfed by the darkness. I fell down to the ground as my legs were still weak, looking down at the pitch-black blade, as it had a flash of Crimson Red like it was calling out to me. I don't know why but I started to reach out to it before Kade grabbed my hand. I looked up at him as he shook his head. "Don't touch it, at least not now." Kade grabbed the blade and picked it up slowly as he started to speak a weird language as the sword started to shine a Deep blue color with a bit of Crimson red mixed in. When he stopped speaking he went to pick it up. "U-Uh wait I know I tried to grab it, but it's not," Kade grabbed the Pitch-Black blade by the handle as he just looked at me smiling. "Safe." He swung it around a bit to what it looked like he was getting a feel for it. "This is a nice blade, too bad without this spell it would try to steal the power of the user till it finds its true owner of this lifetime." I was left speechless as I tried to stand up slowly, nearly falling down, but managed to stand up enough to grab the wall, now on both my feet as I looked at Kade. "Kade... what are you talking about," I asked as I looked at him a bit, but also looked at the blade, seeing it shine a deep blue, almost as deep as... "You talk as if you know about this stuff..." Kade just looked at me as he tossed the sword at me, with me catching it, but as quickly as I caught it, I dropped it before it could take more of my flames. I heard Kade laugh a bit with me looking at him, glaring a bit. "Don't worry, I put a spell on it to stop it from stealing your flames." I sighed before raising my voice. "Ok, but what kind of person throws an unsheathed sword at someone!" I heard Kade laugh again as he then picked up the sword and handed it to me as I grabbed it slowly, as I noticed that it wasn't taking my flames. "Sorry sorry, but I had to test to see if the spell worked." I just realized something, with me doing my best to turn to face Kade. "You said spell, are you telling me magic is real?" Kade chuckled a bit. "Yup, I forgot you are still new to this stuff." I just laughed a bit as my body felt sore from the whole sword stealing my flames or whatever it was doing. "Yeah, and there are also demons in this world as well," I said in a joking tone as Kade looked surprised. "Wow, I didn't think you would know that, then again you did make a deal with one." I just looked at him in shock. "Y-You have to be kidding right? There's no such thing as demons or magic." Kade chuckled as he looked at me with a serious look on his face. "Well you are new to this world, you'll soon come to terms with this world," He started as he looked up a bit at the sky, which was covered by buildings. "This world is full of magic, and creatures you couldn't even begin to comprehend." I saw his face turn to the look behind me as he started to walk to the entrance with me looking in the direction he went, only to see Cherry looking at us. I quickly hid the sword behind my back as I looked toward Kade. "We'll finish this conversation later, see-ya."

I watched as Kade walked away, most likely making his way back to the restaurant as I was left with Cherry. I'd keep the Sword hidden behind my back, as she walked towards me slowly, as I looked at her. "H-Hey Cherry!" I said weakly as I was still feeling the after effect of the Sword draining me of my flames or whatever the hell it was doing. "I heard..." I was looking at her in shock. "Did she hear us... or worse seen my flames?..." I could only laugh a bit as I looked back at the Blade behind me as I saw it flash a Crimson red. Then suddenly the ground started to shake below us, as Cherry started to lose her balance, I dropped the Blade and caught her, holding her up. "S-Sora what's happening?" I looked at her trying to stay on my feet and doing my best to keep her standing up. "I-I don't know, maybe an Earthquake?" The shaking seemed to get worse as the ground seemed to break behind us. Cherry held onto me tightly as we were both paralyzed with fear because the ground that was breaking was heading towards us. "C-Cherry..." She looked at me slowly, as I looked back at her slightly pushing her forward. "R-RUN!" I yelled as we both started to run forward, we could hear the ground behind us breaking. "Don't leave me..." I heard a voice in my head, as I looked back to see the Blade flashing a deep crimson red color. "Huh?" I thought as the voice said again. "Please don't leave me!!!" I stopped running as Cherry made it out of the alleyway, looking back to see me not moving. "S-Sora Comeon! G-Get out of there!" I looked back and smiled softly. "Cherry I'll see you around hopefully..." I said weakly and with a bit of sadness, as I then dashed towards the Blade. "S-Sora!!" I heard Cherry yell as I was dashing towards the Sword. "I heard a voice... It needs me! I'd rather die than abandon it!" I thought as I was dashing towards the Blade, I saw an image running next to me, a woman with Deep blue hair, and golden eyes. "Mia... I guess I'll see you soon..." I smiled as my wish of finally seeing Mia again will finally come true, with me dashing even faster than I ever have before. I reached the Blade and grabbed it, turning around and getting ready to throw it as I saw the image of Mia in front of me. "M-Mia?..." She shook her head slowly, as the ground below me crumbled and I started to fall. As I was falling I swear I saw two Mia's one where I was and one where Cherry was standing. "SORA!!!!" Cherry yelled as that was the last thing I could hear, with the ground above me slowly rebuilding itself.
