Master of all spirits

Chapter 5

Chapter 5:

"Supreme Commander! We can't sit around all day! Allow us to bust their hideout!" said Aotabou. "Be patient, Ao. We all know that. But, please consider the Supreme Commander's feelings. He carries a much heavier burden than us! Rikuo is his grandson!" lectured Kurotabou. "Kuro...but Rikuo is their hands..." muttered Aotabou. Tsurara became depressed and at dawn everyday, she would sweep the entrance of the Nura Clan main house. Even Zen was called over and was informed of the situation. Not only Aotabou, Tsurara, Kubinashi, Kurotabou and the Supreme Commander, but everyone of the main house.

Rikuo woke up with no memories of his life. There are questions going in circles in his head. Who am I? Why am I here? For what reason? Arika gave Rikuo clothes and told him to change into that. "Whoa..." the servants blushed. He looked great; no, (gorgeous) I should say. His night form was buried deep in his heart as he was not able to transform because of memory loss. Arika branded the Seven Flames Clan symbol on Rikuo's neck. AAARRRGGGHHH!!! Rikuo screamed. After everything was over, he bestowed the Seven Princes of Hell onto Rikuo. O' thee, power of Seven Flames, you will become a member of the Seven Flames Clan. From now on, your name is 'Kaoru'! You will serve us as the Seven Flames Holder! (Actually, all holders have Seven Flames) "Kaoru...." repeated Rikuo. "Yes, Kaoru. You are now part of us," said Arika. Tarashi giggled. "Ohohoho, this is the one that said will be the leader of the Nura Clan?" "Yes, my dear. Now, Haruhi, come out." said Arika. A girl around Kaoru's age entered the hall."Yes, Master Arika?" she bowed. "Haruhi, from today onwards, you're bound to Kaoru. I hereby, Kaoru and Haruhi, the engaged couple! You are all bound to this clan, you can neither run or hide, You belong to us!" said Arika. "Now then, teach Kaoru everything that is necessary for our clan." "Yes, Master Arika, Lady Tarashi." obeyed Haruhi. Haruhi dragged Kaoru out of the hall for training. He was trained and sent for missions with Haruhi, Martial arts, marksmanship, swordsmanship, archery, explosives and other essential skills. Without knowing, two years have passed. Kaoru had begun to adapt in the clan. He had no more desire to run or fight them.  His brain has registered the clan as his 'family'. Master Arika and Lady Tarashi. 

"Supreme Commander, what's wrong?" asked Natto Kozo. Natto Kozo is the demon who always follows the Supreme Commander to his trips. "No, nothing. It's just that I feel something evil is stirring in the near future. " replied the Supreme Commander. "Something evil is stirring? What could it be?" asked Natto Kozo. "I'm not a fortune teller," said Nurraihyon. "Well, you looked like one," said Natto Kozo cheekily. Once again, the light had disappeared into the darkness like it had been two years ago. "Why did this happen to us again? Is it the curse of Hagoromo-Gitsune?" wondered Nurraihyon. "It must be!" said Natto Kozo. "After all, she was the one who cursed the bloodline." "Rikuo...when will you come back...? Don't leave this old man alone..." Nurraihyon thought.

"Kaoru, Haruhi, it's time for us make a trip to that accursed city," said Arika one day. "Accursed city? You mean Ukiyoe Town?" replied Kaoru. "Yes. And you will be very surprised when you go," said Arika. "Why is that?" asked Kaoru. "When the time is right, Kaoru." said Haruhi, "Haruhi..."muttered Kaoru. "Alright then, let's rock!" said Tarashi at the top of her voice. "Go in there and take down the Lord of Pandemonium once and for all!" "YES!" the Seven Flames Clan supported their leader. In Ukiyoe Town, the sky became blacker and blacker as days go by. The next thing they knew, it was overwhelmed by demons. Minions of the Seven Flames Clan attacked the town. The Nura Clan gathered and faced their leader, Arika and Tarashi. Kaoru and Haruhi just stared at them, because they were not commanded. "Rikuo-sama! What are you doing?!" Tsurara dropped her broom and tried to rush to Rikuo. Gozumaru and Mezumaru stopped her. "What are you doing?! Let me go!" protested Tsurara. "No, nee-san. Can't you see that Waka is no longer himself? If he had, he would have struggled and escaped long ago! See, it's been two years! Wake up, Yuki-Onna!" lectured Mezumaru.

"Rikuo...why are you standing there?" demanded Nurraihyon."Come back and lecture about the demons' signature deeds you always hate! Don't just stand there and stare!" "Kaoru, they're calling you," said Arika. "KAORU?!" the clan yelled. "I am Kaoru, no more, no less." said Kaoru monotonously. "Arika...! What have you done to him?!" demanded Kurotabou. "Ah, Kurotabou, long time no see," said Arika. "You ask me?" "Of course you sick bastard!" yelled Aotabou. "Waka's human friends have been worried for the past two years!"  "Oh, is that so? That's too bad. He has crossed the line of no return. He's already mine."  said Arika. "He has no memories of Ukiyoe Town, so don't bother talking him into it." "Now then, Kaoru, Haruhi, exterminate every one of them," commanded Tarashi. "Yes, my lady," Kaoru and Haruhi.

O' Seven Flames of Hell, I summon thee, grant me power, Flame of Demon: Beezlebub!

They raised their hands and landed a blow on the Nura Clan. Rikuo's appearance changed drastically since two years ago. His hair had grown longer and he no longer wear spectacles. His eyes was cold and merciless. There is no turning back anymore. 

After the disappearance of Nura Rikuo, what had happened to him the past two years? What have the Seven Flames Clan done to him? Is he 'Kaoru' or 'Rikuo'? His memories were wiped out! Now, 'Kaoru' and Haruhi were commanded to annihilate the Nura Clan! Will the Nura Clan disappear, or will they defeat the Seven Flames Clan?
