8th Star: Aggression for a Demon

I walk towards the demon. The demon stood at least two storey high and its limbs are as thick as a castle's pillar. Avoiding fights is much harder than I thought but if I let the girls handle this, they may not leave this place without a scratch. As an idol, they should always have a flawless skin. I better finish this quickly. "Finish this quickly, you say boy?" The demon talks. "I can read your mind and emotions. As well as everyone inside my castle" It added. "Is that so? Then you should already know what I'm to do then." I retorted. "You dare question my power? I am the demon who possess this castle, once you entered, you will never leave this place. Very well, since I never had visitors in a while now, I will play with you." It respond. "If you won't mind, I alone will play." I challenge the demon. "Fool, your arrogance amuses me. Very well, if you at least touch my pendant, you will all be free." It gives its rule as it pointed out its pendant around its neck. Demons like to make their own rules and most will work to their advantage. "Easy." I respond. "Imbecile! If you fail once, I will take my time eating the girls while you cling to your very life and beg me to spare you!" It retorted. "Fine, whatever." I retorted back. "Ke-chan! Be careful!" Hiroka shouted. I sign a thumbs up. The demon shifted its body to ready itself. I simply walk towards the demon. "The fool will never touch my pendant. I'll squash his limbs if he's close enough. Is what you're thinking, right demon?" I stopped at my path. "Ugh?! How did you?" The demon got shock. "Simple, I'm just plain above you." I replied.

.......

"Simple, I'm just plain above you." Ke-chan replied to the demon. After he spoke, he suddenly vanished from where he's standing. "Guaaaaaagh!!!!" The demon cried in pain. "You may be able to read my mind, but will you be fast enough to react?" Ke-chan's voice is heard but I can't, we can't see him. The demon's think right arm is now shattered against a wall and blood is splattered. "What just happened?" Nozomi asked. "None of us able to see it." Monya replied. "I'm sorry ladies, did that surprised you?" We heard Ke-chan's voice behind us. "KYAAAAAAAH!" We all got surprised. "I guess that scared you more." He added. "Ke-chan just what did you do?" I asked. "Hmmmm... Well, I dashed forward, stopped once close enough, jump high enough to reach its arm, and punch it's elbow." He replied. "Gurhgueh.... Just what did you do?! What are you?!" The demon is still in pain. "Man, you sure ask a lot of questions for a demon who reads minds." Ke-chan retorted. "You imbecile, I will kill you!" The demon threaten. "Just try if you can." Ke-chan replied and walks again towards the demon. "Hyi!!! No, stay back! Stay away from me!" Just after a single step, the demon cowers in front of Ke-chan. "Too late for that isn't it demon?" Ke-chan replied. "I really want to end this faster but I just can't help to show you something worse than what a demon can do before I send you to hell and make you not want to go back here." Ke-chan threaten. As to what it looks like, Ke-chan seems to be more demon than the demon itself. I'm afraid. This feeling I sense from Ke-chan. I looked at the others and they all have that scared looks in their face. The demon tried to move away but it seems stuck. "You can't move from there demon. I placed a silver stake and nailed you to the wall." Ke-chan spoke. Yes, I now see that there is a single silver stake stuck on the demon's elbow. "Please, do.... don kill me." The demon pleaded. "You're never been alive though and you will get resurrected in hell. But first, I'm going to make you feel what humans feel in horrors of death." Ke-chan replied. "No. NO!" As Ke-chan stop in front of the cowering demon. "Shut up!" Ke-chan yell. The demon stop making any sound and even stopped moving. "Bite your tongue." Ke-chan commands the demon. The demon shows its long tongue and bit it hard causing it to fall. The demon suddenly jitters in pain but it never made any sound. "Remove you claws and nails from you hands and feet then swallow them all. Again without delay, the demon pulled its claws and nail using its teeth and swallow them whole. You can see the expression of the demon that it never wanted to do it but it's still doing it. Is it because Ke-chan commands it? As the demon swallows, the blood from its mouth flows out like a waterfall. The excruciating pain that the demon express in unbearable. From a scary monster to a victim of abuse, the demon simply feels the pain. Then Ke-chan attacks the demon. Each punch causes the demon's body part to blow up, giving the demon more pain. Now, all four limbs of the demon is detached from its body and the demon fell to the ground. Ke-chan stands on top of the demon. "Come on now demon, don't tell me that's all that you can endure." Ke-chan sneered. "eeehs.. Guahg!" It tried to speak but Ke-chan kicked it's jaw. "Who fuck told you to speak?!" Ke-chan suddenly burst out his voice. He's not the Ke-chan I know. I'm afraid. More afraid than when the spirit beasts were able to possess me. How could Ke-chan do this?

.......

The demon below me shivers in pain and fear. It shouldn't have threatened me. Now he must pay the price. But when I look at Hiroka, I see fear in her face. Not fear for the demon but to what she's seeing right now. If she only knew why I do this. I guess I should end this now. Standing at the demon's chest, I stomped my heel. The demon's body started to rot. As the body rots away, the demon feels every pain by the second. I jumped out of the demon and returned to Hiroka. Hiroka looked at me with fear. "What's wrong Ka-chan?" I asked. "You're smile Ke-chan." Hiroka answered. I just noticed that I am grinning like a boy that just got what he wanted for Christmas. I covered my face with my hands and slap my face. My grin disappeared. As the demon finally vanished completely, the room suddenly shifted into the hallway Hiroka and I just used and we saw the door at the end.

We got out of the castle and as we exit through the gate, the lady who was sitting behind the table was gone. As I thought, she was the demon itself. "Ke-chan, about what happened inside, it seems you have an extreme anger at the demon." Hiroka suddenly tugged my sleeve. "It's was nothing. What I was thinking is that since it threatened you girls, I just have to end it. But maybe I got angry in the middle of the fight." I shrugged. "Please don't be like that again Ke-chan, you scared me more than the demon." Hiroka looked down. "I can't promise that Ke-chan, I would be extremely angry if anyone will threaten you or the other. And sometimes, there's only one thing I must do before anything bad happens." I pat Hiroka's head. "To be honest, that may be the first time I've been mad for a long time." I added. "Wait wait wait...." Nozomi hold Hiroka away. "Just how did you do all that?" Monya asked me. "Do what?" I asked. "You just simply overpowered a big demon. As much as I'm surprised that all of us got our own powers and abilities, you by all means surpass all of us." Shino replied. "Well, I guess you girls should remember what happened when we were still traveling here to Kyoto." I scratch my head. The girls aside from Hiroka looked confused. I simply smiled and twitch my fingers. From a confused expression, their faces change into amazement. "I remember! Kentz-san, you transformed and... and you cut... Hiichan." Kaede now has a mixed expression of surprise and ponder. The other girls looked the same as they look at me. "This could be a long day with all the explanation I might have." I simply smiled.
