[IC] the demon nation (nura clan based)

[BlackCat]

Yui's eyes widened. There were no more lollipops. She fought back tears,trying her best not to cry again. Her mind started to wander. She thought about that blank spot in her memory, Must.. Not... Think.... About it. But I wonder why it's there? Stop thinking about it. But, seriously why is it there, did I like go crazy or something? the change was gradual. First Yui would calm down. Then she would actually go crazy. But, for now she was calm, and it would be like that for a few more minutes

[Sharnid]

“Fight?...Tetsuya?” Emi said to the two yokai in front of her. “I can’t do that, I can’t harm my beloved. Isn’t there another way?”

She can’t harm me? She killed me just yesterday? Emi was a puzzle to Tetsuya. A very dangerous puzzle, one that might explode if he put the wrong piece down. He needed to be careful. “Emi, we’re already dead remember? This won’t hurt us. Well not for long anyways. We can do this, I promise. I’ll take you out somewhere nice if you do.” He said winking at the wide eyed girl beside him.

She still looked sad but nodded her head. Obviously not wanting to fight Tetsuya, but doing so because he asked. I think I could make her do anything. “Lorenzo, can we die? I’m new to the whole yokai thing. We both need to know what will kill us and what won’t. Tell us that and you will have your fight.”

[Jangel13]

well usually standards apply but seeing as how your both spectral id say that if one of you consumes the other then well you might both die. have at it but if one of you gets to weak the other needs to back off or they will consume you. spirits can hurt other spirits so this should be good to see" Lorenzo said softly letting them know they could go all out until one of them got to weak to fight as he looked to see yui and her blank stare wondering if she was okay with the lollypops thing

[TheWendil]

"Might I step in and add a little suggestion?" Ever faithful Kenji walked on over to Tetsuya and leaned down to meet his gaze. Wary to keep his voice low and hidden, the demon gave a signature grin. "Hey kid, listen. I can tell you've been having some second thoughts lately with your girlfriend over there. Think of this little excercise as a sort of...venting process. Yeah, that's a good way of putting it. Besides, it doesn't take a genius to figure out she's kind of a fruitcake in the membrane."

The demon patted his back jokingly. "Go on, don't be shy! They say that true tensions are only resolved through the battlefield, so don't be afraid to give it everything you got! Besides. I can sense your Yokai power...and let me tell you kid, you are something else! I'm counting on you now Tetsuya!" Before leaving him, Kenji paused. "Oh, there is one more thing. I'm sure you're already aware of this, but...well, we wouldn't want any "accidents" now, would we? Go wild buddy," he added darkly.

Walking over to Emi now, Kenji bent down to give her the same pep talk. Well, with some minor modifications of course. "By the way, our poor boy Tetsuya has, alas, been seduced by another. See that girl over there." Kenji pointed at the trembling Yui. "Best keep your man safe and secure, if you know what I'm saying..."

[Sharnid]

Another….woman? She thought as the fedora clad man spoke. He said all those things… he didn’t mean it? I should have left him in that basement forever. We should have stayed dead… we.. we should have both stayed dead. NO. The sudden realization hit Emi as hard as a bag full of bricks. She didn’t need to kill him, not yet anyways. She needed to injure him, so badly that she could treat his wounds. He’d definitely love me if he could see how much I care! Oh Tetsu, thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.” This task was hard for Emi, almost harder than killing him had been. She didn’t need to cause him too much physical harm in that case but now, now, she needed to break him. She forgave him of being seduced, because he gave her this chance. But if he ever talked to that girl again, she’d kill him. If she couldn’t have Tetsuya, no one could.

As they walked towards the training grounds Tetsuya looked to Emi. A cold chill ran up his spine when he laid eyes upon her. The kind, caring eyes he was used to held only malice and despair. They looked cold, almost unfeeling. She looked detached. This might not have been a good idea. What the hell did Kenji say to her? “Emi, lets just let off some steam, Kenji said it would help.”

She glanced up at his voice,”Of course Tetsu, we wouldn’t want anything to happen now would we? If something did, someone might snatch the other way, now we can’t have that. Can we?” She looked forward to patching him up, and bandaging his wounds. Feeding him, inserting IV’s, and helping him bathe. This will be so much fun! I’ll have to thank Kenji, I guess he wasn’t lying about helping us be together.

They stepped into the arena, and faced each other. This shouldn’t be too hard, she only knocked me out last time because I had my back turned. I don’t know much about fighting, but I mean, she’s a girl. A fucking psychopath. But still a girl. Then, the fight began.

Emi was the first to move, sprinting towards Tetsuya at speeds which seemed inhumanly possible. She reached him in no time. Grabbing his wrist as he threw a punch and pulling it towards her, she then lunged her remaining arm forwards landing directly into Tetsuya’s gut. He let out a loud “OOPH” as the blow connected sending his stomach inwards and bending him over. She quickly rotated her feet and took a step back delivering a knee to the side of his head directly hitting him in the jaw. She felt a loud crack resonate through her patella and up her femur. Must be his jaw. He fell chest to the ground while she quickly followed.

Laying on top of Tetsuya, she put her mouth to his ear and whispered,”Tetsuya, don’t hate me for this, because I’m only doing it for us.. I never want to harm you, but I have to this time, ok?” She heard him try to talk, but it was no use. “Shhhh, Tetsuya, darling, it will be over soon.”

He heard her say something but he couldn’t tell what. He tried to respond but couldn’t make out any words due to his jaw. He needed to move, but everything was hazy. Who knew she was that fast and knew how to do all that? Please, god someone help me. PLEASE GET HER OFF ME Was this what his parents went through? This torture? Was it quick? He hoped so. He felt her hands moving up his arm. One on his wrist, the other on his tricep. No.

She wrenched the arm upwards and forwards at the same time, using all her strength. She couldn’t hold back laughter, after all, this was funny! She had to cause the man she loved pain in order to save him from any other source of it. She heard a loud pop finally accompanied by a gurgled scream from her precious Tetsuya beneath her. “Now, now Tetsu, Emi will make you better soon enough, can you handle a little more, for me? Please?” She heard something, and took it as a yes.

He could barely see, the pain was unbearable. He felt her go for the other arm, he needed to escape. Suddenly, he felt nothing. It was like a cool wave washed over him. He looked back and saw that his body became transparent. Emi was literally kneeling on the ground, but through him. He rolled to his right, carefully avoiding his shoulder, and stood up. She must not have been able to see him. Thank god.

“Tetsuyaaaaaa! Come out- Come out wherever you areeeee!” Emi sang as she skipped around the arena. As time passed, her sanity faded. “TETSUYA, This isn’t funny! Come out! Don’t just leave me here!” She screamed in every direction. Looking for the man who had suddenly vanished beneath her. So now I’m alone again.

Tetsuya walked away from the girl that was growing increasingly crazy. He jerked on his arm, trying to reset it in place, next he set his chin. Sure, it hurt like hell, but not nearly as bad as it did coming out. He glanced at his stomach. Purple? What the hell? Already? Internal bleeding. Must have hit a major artery for it to be this far along. Not good. He felt the pain return more strongly. He looked down and saw his hands gain color. No, no not yet. I can’t go back to that. Not yet!

“Oh Tetsuya! I knew you wouldn’t just leave me! But, I’ll have to punish you for leaving meeee!” Emi said almost sweetly. It was true she was happy that he was back, but she couldn’t just let him come and go. He needed to stay. Always.

[Jangel13]

Lorenzo saw enough to gauge their abilities and to be honest Lorenzo was starting to think that this woman was taking pleasure in hurting her boy toy. Lorenzo decided to put a stop to this as he quickly jumped over the fields fence and stood between emi and testuya "I've seen enough. stop this now or you will both end up dieting in a puff of smoke" Lorenzo said knowing that this chick really was psychotic but even though she was crazy Lorenzo had battle experience and if she tried anything Lorenzo would be able to beat her much easier he even had an unknown advantage to her considering his gauntlet was able to tear holes into the land of the dead and call out his previous ancestors in short his gauntlet was a dead mans caller. against a spirit like emi he would be able to grab her and actually hurt her regardless of if she went transparent or not like testuya did earlier "you have both proven your points so you both need real training now"

[TheWendil]

"Well there goes my fun. Killjoy."

Walking to the center of the ring, Kenji applauded with obvious enthusiasm. "Alright, good game guys! You kids were hot out there! Whoo, that was fun!" Turning to the now fully visible Tetsuya, the demon gave a shrug of his shoulders in sympathy. "Sorry about the injury, Tetsuya my man. We actually seem to be out of first aid for Yokai. So sorry. But, ah yes, I do have the solution to all your problems! Why not have cute little Emi here patch you up? That...is what you wanted right? To be at the utter mercy of your sweet lover? Man you young ones sure make me jealous."

Walking over to Lorenzo now, the man in the dark coat gave him a friendly pat on the back. "Hey there friend. Nice fight we just saw, huh? I mean something about the way Emi just tore apart her dearly beloved external shell just solidifies the true essence of life! Or, something like that. In any case, I think you should keep an eye on those too, yeah? Wouldn't want Miss Emi to strangle our other recruits."

With that statement left in the air, Kenji directed a small smirk at Yui.

[BlackCat]

Yui had staid calm for as long a she could, but now she was at her limit. She went crazy. Yui grinned, as she looked at the others. She cackled, "You all will die!" Yui shouted as she leapt at Kenji, her fan out. Midair she transformed. In one hand she held her fan, and in the other an ice spike. She was going to kill every last one of them, and she didn't care what they thought.

[Jangel13]

Lorenzo looked at kenji curiously but nodded the last thing he wanted was for them to kill each other and everyone else or at least emi he was worried about. he had a feeling that he would regret taking emi as a member but he did need testuya as a member since he seemed a lot more sane. he looked up to see yui jump in the air looking like she was ready to go crazy on kenji and Lorenzo used his gauntlet to tear a hole and 3 different skeletons came form the air and grabbed yui putting her into a submission hold taking her fan and her spike away from her as she hit the ground with a thud "what the hell is wrong yui?!" Lorenzo said confused on why she would just go nuts like this

[BlackCat]

"Kill.... I will kill them all. Those bastards, I will kill them all, and then they can dine with the dead," Yui muttered, struggling against the skeletons. She summoned two more ice spikes, one in each hand and stabbed two of the skeletons. Only one thought was going through Yui's head, and that was too kill.

[Jangel13]

the third one grabbed her hands and forced them down and the two she stabbed didn't move as the spikes went through their chests making double sure she couldn't move her legs or make more ice spikes as I walked over to her and made her look at me "yui its me! calm down and tell me who are you trying to kill, who is the one causing this?" Lorenzo said not believing that a sweet ice woman like her goes into this kind of a rampage without some sort of trauma happening to them. something had to have happened when she was much younger so it made her insane if she didn't have her vice which was unknown why but was apparently lollypops which Lorenzo now knows to keep a lot more on his person if he was going to make sure that yui stayed calm and collected

[Sharnid]

“Tetsuya, come with me!” Emi said to the love of her life as she drug him away from the fight. He was in no condition for a battle, she had made sure of that. “Don’t worry honey, I’ll protect you.” She said with a smile. And get payback on that bitch while I’m at it.

He looked up to Emi, and her eyes… her eyes were red! What the hell.. She didn’t look the same, she had lost all her sweetness again. She reminded him of the time before their fight. That cold, detached look was there, but unlike last time, something else, something more accompanied it. “Emi…”

“Stay here,” she whispered leaving him behind a pillar in the great hall and giving him a kiss on the cheek. “You! Ice girl! You dare threaten my darling Tetsuya?” She reached behind her back with her right hand, wrapping it around a knife handle. Nobody will harm him.

She saw the man or rather, demon, named Lorenzo summoning ghosts, or spirits? It didn’t matter, he was holding her down. It was time to make her move. She sprinted towards the immobile ice demon, removing the blade from its hidden location on her back as she ran.

[BlackCat]

The source of Yui's trauma had been decades ago, when she was 14, she had been living with the rest of her family, her mother, father, and three younger siblings. It was then that some Yokai had stormed into her home. They killed Yui's father who had answered the door, and then proceeded into the living room where Yui, her mother, and her younger siblings were. Yui's mother was killed first, right in front of Yui's eyes. Yui was then forced to play a cruel game, she had to find the most valuable object in the house and bring it yo the Yokai in a set time or one of her younger siblings would be killed. Yui had run about the house terrified, she hadn't know what the most valuable object was. When she returned to the living room, her younger sister was dead, she was then told to find the most valuable item or another one of siblings would be killed. Yui had then remembered the safe under her parents bed, she had run up to her parents room, and slid the safe out. While she was trying to open the safe, her other sister had been killed. Only her brother was left. Yui had fumbled with the lock for a bit longer, when she got it open she grabbed all of its contents, and then ran downstairs, her brother was dead. The Yokai took the money and left Yui. She had then walked to the kitchen and grabbed a knife, she then proceeded to kill the Yokai. Once, people arrived at her home, they found Yui cackling in front of the dead bodies of the Yokai that had attacked her family. She was then locked away, until a few years later when a nice man gave her a lollipop. He was the first person to be nice to Yui since she had gone crazy.

Yui couldn't dodge the blade, it stabbed her in the shoulder. Yui struggled even harder against the skeleton, she wanted to kill that chick.

[Sharnid]

She pulled the knife out of the girls shoulder slowly, bringing it to her lips and licking the red liquid left on it. The look in her eyes was terrifying, the wicked smile on her face even more so. She pushed herself off of the girl before Lorenzo could summon more ghost creatures to restrain her as well. She had a job to do, she couldn’t be caught yet. “See Tetsuya! I’ll be fine don’t worry! Just watch sweety!” She yelled to the boy peeking out from the pillar.

She attacked that girl even when she was restrained? Why? He would never understand Emi’s mind, but at least he knew he was safe with her around, well, except when she was trying to kill him that is. He’d have to avoid that in the future.

[Jangel13]

Lorenzo hated that, she hated seeing someone take advantage of a bound opponent this woman had no honor in her fighting and Lorenzo couldn't stand it as he punched the girl with his gauntlet hand making her fly against a wall as he closed his tear and let yui go "after this were going to have a serious talk" Lorenzo warned them both but he couldn't stop two phycos even if he wanted to they would need to duke it out and when the fight would near its end is when Lorenzo would intervene but for now he wouldn't risk them going on a rampage inside his estate he was going to have to let them tire themselves out. but in all honesty he was on yui's side to win the fight if theirs one thing Lorenzo cant stand is a dirty fighter that takes pleasure in killing those that cant fight back. if Lorenzo wanted to he could kill the bitch himself but that would violate his trust in her from the exchange but that didn't mean his subordinates couldn't fight eachother to earn his favor.....at least if someone asked that's what he would call this fiasco

[BlackCat]

As soon as Yui was let go, she summoned two ice spikes in her hands, and leapt at Emi. She would kill her, kill her, and take revenge for that shoulder wound. And then she would kill the rest of those filthy Yokai who killed her family. But first that girl. Yui stabbed at Emi with both of the spikes.

[TheWendil]

"My, this is rather annoying. I suppose it can't be helped then, but really, what a drag." Seeing that there was really no choice but for Kenji himself to step into the fray, he walked on over to where Lorenzo and Emi had the deranged girl pinned down. "You're slipping up Lorenzo my friend. To let some kid get the better of you...detestable." Standing near the side of the restrained Yui, Kenji bent down and gently lifted her head up to his gaze. Tipping his fedora backwards, he smiled warmly at the ice Yokai, his mismatched eyes giving off the faintest of gleams.

"You must be something really special, right? For me to just casually toss around my fear abilities like this...well that's no good." Bringing his face dangerously closer to Yui's, a faint aura of negativity began to gather around the suit-clad demon. Something...repulsive. Something sickening, and horrid, and putrid, and all sorts of things. "Hmm? Now why don't we see what's really behind that little skull of yours." As a butterfly knife materialized in his hand, the area surrounding both Kenji and Yui began to darken.

Bringing the knife forward, he gently rested the edge of the serrated blade on Yui's cheek. "You think you're bad? Scary? Oooh, tough girl, huh? I can see it in your eyes Miss Yui. You met some pretty nasty fellows before, eh? How did it feel? Did it feel good? Huh? To see things you hold dear to you taken away like toys? Hmmmmm?" Despite his cold words, the smile remained on the demon's face. By now, the entire camp was filled with such negative emotion. Any human by now would have succumbed to despair and either remain petrified in the corner or commit suicide.

"Hey, you're not answering me. Miss Yui. Tell me how it felt. I want to know every last detail, every scream of anguish recorded behind those fragile ears of yours...what? You don't wanna relive those memories? Ah, then I suggest you stop having your little hissy fit like some annoying little brat and get over it. If you really wanna continue...then be my guest! But you better have some power to back up your words kid. Got it?"

A flicker of something flashed across Kenji's eyes before the warm smile became reinforced. "Do it for little old me. Ok?"

[BlackCat]

Yui stayed silent. She wanted revenge, and nothing more than that. And now this bastard was asking how it felt. How it felt, huh. Well, she wasn't going to answer. Yui lifted her head up and bit at Kenji's face. She mad now, she did not want to be messed with. And she certainly sis not like being stopped from getting revenge on every last Yokai.

[Sharnid]

If that guys anything, he's scary. Tetsuya thought as Kenji spoke to Yui. He seemed to have a way of knowing things. Things he could have no way of knowing, he said exactly the right thing to either escalate a situation or to calm things down. Tetsuya was starting to realize that Kenji was even more deadly than Emi, the fear he had placed in Tetsuya's mind was almost something unnatural, wait no, it was unnatural. He could almost see the despair seeping out of the man. I really need to stay on his good side.

[TheWendil]

"You little bitch...."

With a steel grip, Kenji held Yui and forced her face to the ground. Lifting his knife, he plunged the blade straight into her back. For extra measure to insure she would behave, he sent an electrical shock through the knife and into the ice Yokai's body. "Does it sting? Does it burn? Come on Yui, howl for me! Scream and kick and struggle! Don't tell me you've got enough energy to bite me but not enough to take a little punishment!" Plunging another electrical knife into her body, Kenji got up in an attempt to compose himself.

"Weak shit..."

Rearing his leg back, he delivered a swift kick to her head. Eager to see the results, he placed one boot over her body. "Get up. You wanna kill? Go on then. Kill me. Those wounds I left you shouldn't be enough to kill you. You're a Yokai, right? You can just heal them so get up now. Hehehe, what, you can't? What happened to all that energy just a second ago?"
