Now back to your chapter.

Kyle:
WOO! It is GOOD to be BACK!!!
Oh wait... I'm not supposed to break the fourth wall... WHOOPS! *shrugs and chuckles*

Anyways, Onikage ran after Ash, and I followed him, telling the others to stay back. As I rounded the corner, my eyes met with a pair of dark red ones. It took me by surprise, so, naturally, I pin the person who's eyes they were against the wall with my arm. I look at the facial features and recognize it.
"Woah, woah, woah! Easy, Kyle!" Red said, sticking his hands up. I sigh and release my arm, giving him room to breathe.
"Sorry, man. Just on edge, and I saw your eyes, and I guess I thought... I thought you were someone else..." I say, my thoughts tracing back to when Onikage was in control of Ash.
"It's fine. That actually happens more often than you'd expect." He says playfully. I laugh.
"Hahah, yeah. I feel you there, dude." I say. It's funny; even though Onikage gets this bad vibe off of Red, I see him as nothing less than an awesome friend. What was Onikage getting off this guy? I mean, from when we were demons up till now, Onikage's senses about people have never been wrong. He could always pick out the good apples from the bad, if you get my drift. So why is he holding such a bad grudge on this kid when he's pretty chill? I suddenly remember why I came out here in the first place when I get that brother-ly instinct. It's like that spidey-sense thingy from those Spider-Guy movies; if Onikage is in any form of danger, I get this pit feeling inside me. I look up to the ceiling and see thin slivers of black and purple smoke coming from the floor upstairs. Upstairs...
"Crap." I mutter under my breath. (Kyle's gonna be allowed to say mild curses because he's older than the majority of the characters) I turn on my heel and bolt towards the stairs. I reach Ash and Serena's room and go to run in, but the door was locked, which lead to me banging into it instead of running into the room. I stumbled backwards, recollecting my thoughts, when I hear something crash beyond the wall and a cry of pain. Something was happening in there. I ram into the door a few times before the door finally unlocked. I thrusted the knob open and burst into the room. Onikage was standing there, staring at the corner. I look to where he was looking and saw Ash lying there. He was laying on top of a broken dresser that definitely wasn't there before.
"ASH!" I yelled and ran over to him. He was barely conscious and covered in cuts and bruises. But the one that instantly caught my attention were a pair of hand-shaped bruises that were forming around his neck.
Onikage was trying to kill him.
This doesn't make any sense; Onikage has said to me he sees Ash like a twin brother (for obvious reasons), and he would never hurt him intentionally! Unless... he was possessed. I look at my younger brother and see the demonic glow in his eyes that I hadn't seen in months. They were blood red, and a dark cloud of smoke was hovering around him. He looked like he just got out of a mental hospital; his lip was bleeding, his hair was like a lion's mane, and his teeth looked like a wolf's.
"Onikage, snap OUT of it! What the hell is wrong with you?!" I get up and face him. He looks at me and starts laughing.
"Ah, how I love seeing mere mortals pester around me." He said. This was not my baby brother; his voice sounded like it was coming from a mask, and it was dry and raspy, he sounded like a killer from a movie. "Why must you both call me that ridiculous name?" Ridiculous?
"You were the one who chose it, Onikage, now SNAP OUT OF IT!!" I start getting worried. He runs up and hits me in the gut before I knew what happened. I stumble backwards and use Ash's bed for "support".
"NO ONE RAISES THEIR VOICE TO ME!! Unless you're THAT desperate for death!" He starts laughing again, then brushes himself off. "Excuse me. Where are my manners? I am Edom, and you, along with this-" he points to Ash - "shall both SUFFER for what you've done to me." What we did?
"What are you talking about?! We didn't do anything to you!" I say.
"You banished my brother to an alternate universe and RUINED OUR PLAN! For that, you shall PAY!" A cloud of smoke forms in his hands and quickly becomes a shadow ball. Before he could throw it, however, he winces in pain and collapses to his knees. I look over and see Alain, Red, Manon, Calem, Bonnie, Clemont, and Serena standing near the doorway. Red and Alain were holding up something, but it was too dark for me to see.
Curse you, mortals..." Edom said. He glanced over to Ash and smiled evilly. "This is FAR from over." And with that, my younger brother disappeared into a cloud of smoke. I fall backwards and sit. I can't believe this. My baby brother, the one who couldn't have been happier when we were released from the demon world... he was now possessed by the one who's brother we defeated in battle.
"Kyle, what happened?!" Serena said urgently. I look at her. She was so scared already, and I didn't want to panic her more, but I didn't want to lie to her.
"Onikage is possessed. He's being possessed by this guy named Edom." I look back to where I last saw Ash, but he was gone. Instead, the destroyed dresser was all that was there. I jump up and worry; if Ash isn't here, and neither is Edom, then that means...
Edom's maniacal laughter rang through the room.
"Crap..." I mutter. I look at the others.
"He took him."
"Who took who?" Bonnie asked.
"Edom," I say. "He took Ash."
