Ketsu merely chuckled a little to himself as he viewed his barrier expand more and more from Numomachi's attacks. "Yeah, I wouldn't mind more room to exterminate you are either. So, heh, it works in my favor as well. That means, if my family were to ever see this fight they wouldn't have to see the brutal way I'm going to kill you." Spoke Ketsu in his usual tone of confidence, not phased one bit the major expansion of his black flaming barrier.

After all, the Soul Society or somebody would end up restoring the forest to it's orinigal state. It would cost a lot of money on their put, but Ketsu did not particularly care about the Gotei 13 nor' the Soul Society.

All he cared about right now was figuring out a way to kill Nomomachi without harming Erebos body or his soul. That's all that was on his mind. He couldn't wait until the end of this battle was finished and he stood victorious over Nomomachi's corpse. It would simply be another major victory under his belt. Another battle that made him stronger and an even bigger force to be reckoned with.

When Ketsu heard Nomomachi reveal her name to him, he only cracked a small and yet another small chuckle. "I don't need to know your name, woman. I just know I'm going to somehow kill you today." Said Ketsu, keeping his eye on Nomomachi if she had made any sneaky moves.

"Tch, it only took energy to form up the barrier. What happens to it after I activate it is all up to fate. I only activate and deactivate it." Said Ketsu, explaining to her about the barrier that was around them. "As for the Quincy, I'm only keeping that fool alive due to my own fascination with him. Nothing more. I'm not doing this out of the kindness of my heart, but simply because your standing in the way of something I want. And whenever somebody gets in my way, I destroy them." Then Ketsu began sensing something brewing within Nomomachi's body, he couldn't quite tell what it was, but something was going from within. "But in any case, whatever your planning to do with my barrier won't work!"

Then, after he was gone speaking towards this demoness, he noticed that she had fired two more bows filled with devastating energy towards him. Scoffing a little at her plan of attack, Ketsu merely placed his right hand down before the attacks and fired a energy blasted wrapped up inside a large wave of flames down at the bows.

But, before he could even have time to react, Numomachi had appeared behind him and fired two more of those bows at him. All Ketsu could do was turn around as he got hit by both of those blast.

"Shit!" Was all Ketsu could mutter out in pain as a large explosion engulfed body, while within the blast he was shocked by lighting. "Damn you, woman" Growled Ketsu when the blast was over, flying face first into the ground from the shock wave it gave off; Making his own little carter on impact.

When all was said and done, Ketsu had scratches, burns and cuts all over his body after the attack had finished.

Slowly, Ketsu got up from the hole he was in and looked up at Nomomachi with a heavy frown taking shape on his face. "Now...you've gotten me angry." Spoke Ketsu as he coughed up some blood. When he wiped the traces of blood from off the corners of his lips, Ketsu grabbed onto his sword as more energy from within him began to charge up. "Now you've forced me to go into "The Black Flame""

Unexpectedly, a large ball of black flames surrounded itself around Ketsu's body. While he was within the ball you could feel his spiritual pressure dramatically rising. Almost 50x's stronger then before.

Thirty seconds later, after the ball of flames had disappeared, Ketsu reemerged from it with a new look.

Following the rise of his spiritual pressure, Ketsu's appearance had been altered. Previously, Ketsu's hair was red and black. Now, it was just jet black. Another change you would notice is that two wide, black flaming wings were attached to Ketsu's back. Also, you would see on his forehead six black jem's that looked small jewels, three going down in a straight line across from each other, And the final major change you would notice is that his flaming black sword was now slightly larger with hints of red around the edges of it.

One more thing, A more minor changes you would notice is that his iris was now red instead of black, the pupils within his eyes were red, the

Glancing upward towards Nomomahi, Ketsu chuckled for the third time in this battle. "Now it's time I show you how the game is really played!" In a flash, Ketsu disappeared, reappearing all around Nomomachi's body, hopefully making some direct hits as he began slashing all around her for about ten seconds. After that, he used his new found speed to appear below her to fire a large wave of black blames, then he appeared above her and did the same thing and repeated this two more times when he appeared on the left and right sides of Nomomachi.

When his attack was complete, Ketsu jumped back towards the ground to view the fireworks.

"You don't stand a chance anymore, woman."

Nomomachi blinked softly in shock herself. The change wasen't amazing to her but it was unexpected to say the least. The first cut was completely unpredicatbel, but after that she started to block with her bow, which he would find is as strong as any Zanpakuto and not easly brake, however about eight slashs came onto her new body before he vanished and also unexpectedly blasted her in the air with a wave. The simple heat off it twinged her senses but she only smirked. His next move however was not a testiment to him. It was predictabul. Frontal then rear attack.

Nomomachi turned herself around in mid air with her bow string already pulled back and the moment he appeared she'd let the shot go, point blank through the right shoulder. The strong electrical blast would shock her as well if it hit and would knock them apart but he would get the worse damage. This is because if it hit his right shoulder he'd find that not only with such important mass of bone missing but the numbness felt after the electricty shorted out the nervouse system in that area, that his right arm would be beyond useless. It was his own fault or his egos, she wasen't sure.

Or maybe he thought his speed alone would counter act the predictabilite of the last attack. Nomomachi's own injuries would be of course the slices, the impact injurie from the upward force and the electrical damage from the Arrow. Then again it wouldn't be her injuries but the bodys. Nomomachi feels none of the pain. So she can press the body untill it is dust if she wished. But she did realise she was going to have to end this fight with the boy soon. Some how or another Erebos was actully starting to win. She didn't know how but it was pissing her off. If it kept up she would lose control of the body. She wasen't about to let that happen.

Erebos's Inner world

[/i][/center]

Inside however things have already changed drasticly. Nomomachi was heading onto the deffensive side. Erebos had gotten slightly powerful earlyer when he took her arm. Somthing about it had woken Erebos up and now he was being relentless on her. His speed had increased to the point he could keep up with whatever the hell her flash step like move was. But he wasen't beating her, just tiring them both out. He growled softly and sighed, closing his eyes as he stopped. He figured the only way to attack was to be attacked.

Sure enough the demon was losing her cool. She came up behind him and sent her staff like weapon for Erebos's back. This only made him grin with satisfaciton. Erebos dodged by meer inchs the staff, turning around and shooting two shots right through her stomach, sending the demon flying back and onto her knees. This fight was over. But she wasen't dead, just kneeling there panting. Erebos walked over to finish the job. What would happen..?

Once Ketsu had finally landed on the burned forest earth below him, he looked upwards towards Nomomachi's direction to view the full effects of his last major offensive attack that he had carried out upon her body. Hopefully, those combination of moves would have made some sort of impact to her, while still keeping Erebos's body intact. 'Damned woman. I'd better think of a way to persevere Erebos's body and kill Nomomachi without also killing him in the process. It's not a matter if I can defeat her, it's how. And I need to think of a course of action soon or else this woman will surely think of something cunning. That...or I'll just have to kill the damned fool. Hmph, and I was just beginning to grow more curious of him.' Thought Ketsu to himself, not particularly worried about losing this battle, but more worried about trying to save this persons life to satisfy his own curiosity.

'Although, there is always Chaos Soul...if he is losing the battle within her. I can diffidently sense somebody is about to gain dominance over that body.'

"Dammit..."Muttered Ketsu darkly to himself after discovering what type of impact his attack's had on Nomomachi. "I'll figure out a way to destroy you woman. I am the Black Flame and I will not lose to a pitiful demon such as yourself!" Shouted Ketsu, trying to make sure that he was the dominant one in this battle. But then he glanced up and noticed Nomomachi forming up another Electrical Quincy arrow. Although Ketsu didn't quite know the effects of this attack, he knew that some electrical based attacks had the ability to paralyze a persons nervous system. If he were to get hit anywhere on his body from this attack there was at least a fifty percent chance that he would lose all control over whatever body part this arrow would hit.

In any case, Ketsu had to do something fast since this arrow was getting ready to make contact with his body. So, in a split second decision, Ketsu decided to ward off this arrow with a powerful orb made from reitsu along with his black forms. "Tch!" Was all Ketsu spat out of his mouth as their attacks collided with each other. And at that moment, Ketsu realized something he had forgotten...he could control the flames inside the barrier. So when the arrow sliced through his orb of fire, Ketsu grunted in pain as it severely burned Ketsu's right shoulder, numbed the feeling in his right arm and caused some bleeding to take place, but he could still use it due to his previous attack weakening the strength of the arrow. But after it all was all said and done, Ketsu had a confident smirk appear on his face. One that said; "I'm going to end this battle" out loud.

"Heh, not bad for a demon bitch. I truly must say that last attack of yours was impressive and did quite a bit of damage to my body." Spoke Ketsu, slightly complimenting Nomomachi on her plan of attack. "Although, there two things I bet didn't go as planned..." With a feeling of great superiority taking over, Ketsu clenched his right arm to show to Nomomachi that he still had control over it. "One, I still have control over my arm. And two..." Then, Ketsu quickly lifted his left arm in the air as dozens of chains in the shape of black fire wrapped themselves around Nomomachi's throat, hands, chest, stomach, upper legs, knees and ankles. "...I have better control of all fire within this barrier." With a more serious expression on his face, Ketsu then began summoning a monstrous wave of black fire in front himself. A sea of never ending flames that would hopefully end this battle. It may mortally wound Erebos's, but it was worth it to end this fight. And even then Ketsu would simply transport Erebos with him to the Iramasha Clan's base to heal him. Yes, Ketsu knew he had this fight in the bag.

"And now we end this..." He said, having the enormous sea of black flames engulf Nomomachi inside it's wrath. But, while he summoned this fierce attack, more blood began to spew out of his body from the large amount of reitsu he was using. The pain was brutal, but it was worth it."Heh, it was nice knowing you, Nomomachi, but I'm afraid I've won this battle and Erebos has won the battle from within. It's all over for you, farewell." And with that finally goodbye to his opponent, Ketsu tightened his left hand and had the sea of black flames explode in an impressive bright red light that expanded his barrier even further, destroying everything it touched on the outside from such raw power. Again, Ketsu figured that Soul Society would handle that.

"And I also welcome you back, Erebos." Whispered Ketsu silently to himself.

Erebos's Inner world

Erebos Nightengale[/center]

Erebos looked down at the demon Nomomachi. She was on her knees, her head bowed forward and blood dripping from her body. She could still fight but she wasen't as if invisable restraints had tangled around her at this point. Perhaps she was accepting that Erebos had beat her. Erebos's eyes had grown cold by this point and he looked down at her and Nomomachi looked back at him, the female demon wearing a slight grin. Her eyes sparkled and she laughed before speaking. "It makes you wonder..who the real demon here is doesn't it...? Tourtering a lady like this.."[/i] She said in a crude voice.

Erebos simply raised his bow and drew the string back, pushing the tip of the arrow against her forhead, allowing the energy to scaith her skin while he talked, seeing the wince in her face. It was hurting her. Good. "You really are in no spot to even be talking to me about demon or human Nomomachi. A liar. Traitor. You're worse then a demon and should be killed.." He spoke softly, his eyes intent on her own. Nomomachi only started to laugh as she looked up at Erebos, blood starting to seep from her lips. "Do it then. Show you have the power to do so..kill me..show you're not nothing..prove your worth."[/i] She spat in a poison tainted tone, cackling all the while.

Erebos would only allow a slight crack of a smile form to his lips as his eyes closed and his arms shook slightly as he started chuckling out loud. "I don't have anything to prove. However.." Erebos at however let the string go and the arrow plowed through her head, killing the demon instantly. However he wasen't going to expell her now. Before she hit the floor Erebos kneeled and wrapped his arms around her and held her close as there bodys started to glow, Nomomachi starting to flow into him. "However..i do still want your power..so I'll give you life within a prison inside me..and I'll use your power..and you won't even get to speak..you're mine now Nomomachi.."

This is all Erebos got to say before all of Nomomachi flowed into his body and his eyes snapped open just in time to get chocked by chains of black fire. He was about to feel alot of pain.

Real World

[/center][/i]


Erebos coughed as he tryed to speak, but he couldn't. He couldn't stop the attack and he had no idea what the hell was happning. He growled on the inside and clenched his eyes, prepairing for the pain. "Shit. After all that I am going to die the moment I get out of my own little world. Fucking Nomomachi, even after all this you'll find a way to kill me huh? Presistant bitch.." Erebos thought to himself as the black fire approched him. He sighed and his body relax, ready to accept it. There was no reason for him to fight it. It would've been futile at this point. That was very easy to see.

Sappheria Iramasha

[/center]

Sappheria was rushing through the forest at astounding speeds, leaving a crator any place her foot met the ground, propelling her forward even faster as the wind turbine under her feet drove her. She had spotted the black flame barrier earlyer. At first it didn't bother her but she had then noticed just how powerful the thing he was fighting was. But even after that she had not worried. She doesn't know however if Ketsu noticed that the pressence had changed back to being pure. Sappheria growled and jumped up through the air, propelling herself as a extreamly strong force of wind twisted around her body as if a aura.

She was one of the few in the world who could get past the barrier by simply punching. She wasen't stronger then Ketsu, but she wasen't weaker. In all truth she had no idea how she stacked up. It was just the nature of her powers. They counter acted each other in many ways. As she got closer she put her hand forward and met the fire, twisting the wind hard to drill a hole through it, one that she jumped through and landed infront of Erebos, not knowing his name. She quickly unsheathed her sword and sliced it up, sending a blade of pure wind, as wide as the area of the barrier right down the middle of the on coming fire attack. It would've divided the attack in two sending it to the left and right. She was ready to destroy it utterly if she needed.

Her eyes locked forward, keeping her positon with the sword up and stairing at Ketsu. Sappheria was not in that annoying kid mood that Ketsu hated, rather in that cold, calculated mood that Ketsu thought of as a challange. Atleast this is how it was in the past. Once she was sure it was safe to, she would lower and sheath her sword and soon enough braking the silence with her cold and chilled tone. "Ketsu..have you forgotten the diffrent feels of a possessed man and a man in control? The demon might live through that but the boy couldn't, even if his body isent as damaged to death the feel of the pain alone would send him into shock.."[/i] Sappheria said as she looked back at Erebos.

Her glance was for only a second, Erebos having look relived, his head hanging, panting. She gave a slight smile for some reason before turning back over to Ketsu, Sappheria herself shaking her head, clearly annoyed with him. "I could sense it all from the forest. I wasen't far away. Now lets get him down before he passes out from blood loss. Looks like you need your injuries tended to as well."[/i] She spoke before turning fully around and walking over to Erebos, her kind eyes looking him over and her snow white hair trailing behind her. "Poor guy..he must be like ketsu...only reason to explain the fluxuations. But then again, he still carrys taint but he seems in control. What happend I wonder.." Sappheria thought silently.

She ran her right hand over his right arm, attempting to let the chains off of him, or to catch him when Ketsu did, whatever came first. Erebos himself was clearly about to pass outhimself. He couldn't speak. His head was hanging and his breathing was shallow. He was about to be out cold. He deffently was just a human with Quincy and demonic power. But a human is still frail, no matter how much power they might possess.

Before Ketsu could finish his final assault on Nomomachi, he felt major changes in power all around him. First, he noticed that Erebos was at last taking back dominance over his body. Moderately shocked, Ketsu had a slightly surprised expression on his face as his attack was hurdling towards Erebos at an unstoppable rate. He had only intended for this attack to severely injure Erebos, not kill him. But, in this weakened state, he would have surely killed Erebos. 'Dammit!' Was all Ketsu could think to himself in frustration at the situation.

But then, almost out of nowhere, Ketsu began detecting traces of Sappheria's reitsu. He wasn't quite fond of her childish attitude, but he knew she was the only one capable of stopping this large scale attack. "Great..."Muttered Ketsu with slight hints of irritation as Sappheria came bursting through his black flaming barrier. He then viewed her weakening his attack by cutting his sea of seemly endless black fire half, scattering it left and right. With the once mighty wall of dark flames lessening in power, Ketsu held up both of his arms and made all of the flames fade away; Along with the black flaming barrier that surrounded the forest. He winced a little pain when he rose his right shoulder, but bared through it like he did with everything in his life.

Floating upwards towards Saphheria and Erebos, Ketsu was relieved on the inside that all of this was over, but slightly agitated that the Leader of the Hybrid Iramasha's had arrived her. When Ketsu looked up towards her, however, he realized that she was in one of her more serious moods. This meant he could stand to be around here...somewhat. "Hmph, I simply failed to sense until the last minute. I know all about fighting inner demons. I was merely to focused on defeating that damned woman." Spoke Ketsu, rising his left arm in the air and placing a barrier around Erebos so he wouldn't fall out of the sky and to his death. Then, Ketsu glanced at his shoulders as it still was spewing up blood, but not nearly as much as it did early. "My injuries will heal in time. The Quincy Ziamichi, however, will die soon if he doesn't get medical attention. So we'll take him to our clan to be healed." Spoke Ketsu, sitting aside his pride for awhile as he floated over to Erebos. "Now, Sappheria, I'm going to need you to perform Chaos Control or open a portal back to our home. I'm to injured to teleport from dimension to dimension."


"So let's please hurry it up before the boy dies..."

Sappheria Iramasha

[/center]

Sappheria takes Erebos's right arm and closes her eyes, searching for spirital presser back the Iramasha place. "Alright. I'll use Chaos Control and go on ahead with the boy. But Ketsu, after all this is done. Please be ready to explain what the hell is going on.."[/i] Sappheria said as she pulled Erebos through Ketsu's barrier fully and into her arms. When she held the boy in her arms, she had a odd look on her face, somthing even Ketsu would find new. It was that of concern, almost like a mother would look if there child was hurt. But Ketsu wouldn't have very long to study her odd expreson. Within a very short moment she would use Chaos Control and vanish from the area, going to the Iramasha house.
