Hakkenden: Eight Dogs of the East [FanFic]

Chapter 11: The Other Way Around

Oh no. Just when I thought that it would be easy doing Hamaji and Ayane's plan, I was wrong about it.

"Geez, [Your Name]. If your mind was wide enough in thinking about love, you wouldn't be here." Ayane said, smirking.

I groaned at what she said. Its like she's saying that I'm stupid.

"We're going to see Kohaku to seek some advice." Hamaji said firmly while holding a death grip on my wrist.

Once we were there, men and women had their hands in each other.

"Kohaku." I turned my head to see a very beautiful woman before us. I have no match for her even if I turned into a demon.

"Yes, dear?" Her voice is so... sexy.

"We would like to ask you some advice about... love." Kohaku giggled at Ayane's response.

"Follow me girls." We did what was told until we were in a room painted in red and black.

My head began thinking of dirty things so I shook it all off.

"Well, if its love you say, my advice is that you should pick who you think makes you special."

"Satomi." I suddenly thought of him.

"Anything else, Kohaku?" Hamaji asked.

"I would advice you girls to keep your age appropriate because I might advice you different things." She giggled. Hamaji and Ayane blushed at what she said.

"O-Ok. Th-Thank you for y-your time, K-Kohaku." Ayane stuttered.

"But for you, [Your Name]. You better raise your level of love a little higher." I blushed. I suddenly remembered the night when Satomi and Sosuke kissed me.

She winked at us before going back to work. We went our way already since we had heard enough.

"I should've known that she'll say that." Ayane said with a giggle.

"Wait. Ayane, shouldn't you be staying at the Mansion? Hibiki said you can't go out without her." I said.

"Well, I escaped. I know she'll be furious but I need to tag with you guys before you do anything stupid." I looked at her with curiosity.

"Its almost dark. We better head back fast." Ayane was serious so we ran.

Dousetsu's POV

Hamaji is missing and so are Ayane and [Your Name].

We were panicking and Hibiki was furious. I sighed and looked at Shino.

"I better send Murasame to go look for them." He said.

"No. You can't. Remember Shino. You and Murasame can't be separated from each other for too long." Sosuke said and Shino sighed.

Moments later, we heard noises from downstairs. We hurriedly ran down to check who it was.

To our dismay, it was just Kaide and Yatsufusa arguing.

"Kaide. Have you seen Hamaji and the other two girls?" I asked.

"Two girls?" He asked back.

"Ayane and [Your Name]." Genpachi replied.

"Oh. Them. Well, the three of them scurried out a few hours ago after Ayane had arrived." He said. I sighed again.

"Did they tell you where they were going?" Satomi was also a bit furious.

"Well, no. Actually, they didn't mind me at all. Looks like they were in a hurry." He said before walking away.

I am panicking. Its almost dark and in any minute, [Your Name] will be turning into a demon.

"Where on Earth is that demon?!" Satomi yelled in frustration.

"Calm down, will you? Everyone in here is nervous and panicking and not only you!" Shino said which caused Satomi to groan.

We stayed in silence and went back to Satomi's office.

[Your Name]'s POV

We ran as fast as we could but I can't help it. I can't control my demon side anymore. Its too powerful.

"Hold it in for a little while, [Your Name]." Ayane said as my eyes began changing.

As we were getting near the Mansion, I saw Yatsufusa waiting.

We hurriedly went in and to my room.

"What are you doing?! Why are you stopping yourself from the transformation?!" Ayane asked, shocked.

Hamaji was too shocked to react or say anything but... I wanted to try to stop this.

"I... want to do... the other way... around." I was trailing off. I wondered if I at least controlled my transformation, I would be the good girl that everyone knows.

"But why?! You'll die if you continue this!" Ayane was panicking and her voice was too loud.

Too bad. I still transformed. I couldn't think straight.

"[Your Name]. You don't have to  control yourself or even do the other way around if you can't." Hamaji said.

"If I didn't, would they still love me the way I love them?" I asked, talking about the bead holders and Satomi. Tears pooling in my eyes.

"[Your Name]!" The bead holders and Satomi suddenly barged into my room so I flew out.

"Wait! [Your Name]!" Was the last thing I heard from Ayane and Hamaji.

"Trying is always the choice but... I couldn't. Even if I did the other way around, its still useless." I thought as I cried myself in the dark and lonely sky.

~Meanwhile~

3rd Person's POV

"We can't just leave her out there!" Ayane said, panicking.

"She may be a demon but... she's still the girl who we had fun with." Hamaji said.

"I'll go look for her." Everyone in the room was shocked when Shinobu said that.

"Don't look at me like that, guys. I want to help and since [Your Name]-chan is able to fly, I could trace her." He explained. He was lucky that Natsume is fast asleep already.

"Fine. But give us a signal if ever you need help, alright?" Genpachi said with a sigh.

Shinobu smiled, heading out of the Mansion before taking off.

"[Your Name]-chan. I hope you're safe." He thought as he began his search.
