Chance meeting (FINSIHED THREAD)

[Tenkai Daigo]

Erebos was walking through the forest with his reguler outfit on, a black tank top and tight black pants. It wasen't much per say but it was very comfterbul to not only be in but to fight in. He let out a soft sigh as he stopped in the middle of the forest, his golden eyes moving around the area as if searching for somthing, or perhaps someone. He smiled lightly after about three minutes of standing still and looking. Nothing was there.

He was all alone just as he wanted. Grinning almost like a playful child he jumped to the top of the tallest tree around him and simpley sat down on the branch and looking out over the forest. The truth was he was just looking to get away from it all. He had killed a few hollows earlyer that day but they where the reguler small fry. The shinigamis have yet to notice it seems because not a single one has been sent to deal with him.

Even more so his human life was starting to bear down on him, holding a job was getting hard with all the running around he does. Even the meer thoughts forced a furstrated sigh out of him, but his inner demon stayed silent. Erebos has been keeping to the deal he had keep so it had no reason to yap. He pushed up to his feet and stretched out his arms as he looked over to the horizen, seeing the sun was entering twilight. It was a beautiful sight and he was glad he came in time to see it.

(Ketsu)



Ketsu was calmly walking down a narrow pathway of ground within the forest that lead down from his house and into the city. It was a peaceful walk for Ketsu. Not a single person, shinigami, hollow, Arrancar or anything was in sight for miles. This was just the kind of walk he needed to rest up from an intense 5 hour long training session he had completed earlier in the day.

(Iramasha Clan Symbol: i14.photobucket.com/albums/a323/Frost_0/Clan_Symbols.jpg )

It especially felt comfortable for him to feel the wind blow against his bare chest with the outfit he had on. Currently Ketsu was wearing a long black coat with the Iramasha Clan symbol printed on the back of it in dark red, with hints of red also being seen along the bottom edges of it, and with bits of red showing on cuffs of his sleeves. He had also put on a pair of matching black pants and black boots on to better color coordinate his outfit.

As Ketsu walked through the forest, more gentle currents of wind brushed against his body, making his black and red hair flow in the air. Each time a breeze came across his body, he became more and more relaxed. Normally, Ketsu wasn't this relaxed since he is continually put on edge from constant battles, fighting with two beings of darkness inside his body and constant arguments with his wife and two kids. But today seemed like it was going to turn out different. Like he was finally going to get some peace and quiet.

Yes...today was going to be a good day. No imbecile was going to mess this up for him.

"Hmph, for once...it actually feels good to be outside." Muttered Ketsu to himself, stopping in his foot stops and gazing up upon the twilight lit sky. As he watched the clouds above him, Ketsu began to get a euphoric feeling all throughout his body when he began thinking of peaceful thoughts."Why am I so damned relaxed?" Whispered Ketsu to himself as some of his hair began to cover his left eye. For about 5 minutes, Ketsu stayed in that same spot in a tranquil state of being.

This had bad the first time awhile where he actually able to calm his body.

At last...

Peace and quiet...


But, this peace and harmony would not last forever due to Ketsu's own combative nature.

When those 5 minutes had passed, Ketsu quickly noticed a powerful reitsu within the area. This wasn't a typical human by any means. After picking up on the foreign power, the peaceful euphoric state that had once flowed through out his body was shattered into a million pieces; Only to be replaced by thoughts of a new challenge. "This must be someone from Ender's Army. Tch, I better go check this out. Who knows, maybe I might get a good fight from this!" Said Ketsu to himself. "TCH!" And with that, Ketsu flew off towards Erebos direction, using the reitsu inside his body to carry him through the air.

~20 seconds later~

After his short flight, Ketsu arrived in the area where Erebos was standing. He swiftly commanded his reitsu to let him simply float down towards Erebos, ready for anything this unknown person had planned.

"You..." Spoke Ketsu, putting both of his hands to the side and slowly constructing up a black ball of fire inside his right palm. "...are you apart of Ender's Army? Or do you have any other type of agena? If you don't speak up within 10 seconds, heh, I'll be forced to kill you on the spot."

'Hmmm, from the feel of his reitsu it appears he is a Quincy. But...the more I sense his power...the more I sense something...deeper within him. Just what the hell is going on. He couldn't possibility be...that....' Thought Ketsu to himself, quickly preparing himself for battle.


Now the stage has been set, what will be the outcome of events from the meeting of these two strangers?

Erebos Nightengale

[/b][/i]

Erebos had sensed the man coming up to him long before he actully got there. It was his nature to sense retsuis at long distances just as his father had taught to him so long ago. He closed his eyes as he stood on the tree branch, just enjoying the passing breeze that caused his snow white spiked hair to flow softly before the unknown man got to him. Even once he arrived and floated down to him he paid no mind. He was just enjoying himself. However when he spoke his words, threatning to kill himself it forced a instant respons.

In less then a blink of the eye Erebos used a move called Hirenkyaku, the quincy verson of a shinigami's flash step or a Arrancar's Sonido to go about ten feet behind the man, standing on one foot at the top of a tree with his hands in his pockets and eyes still remaning closed. He could fully sense the man's spirital presser levels but he didn't even flinch. It was as if Erebos hadn't a care in the world. "Who is this jerk anyway.." Erebos thought silently to himself before answering the man's questions.

"Who the hell is Ender. Who the hell are you? And can a guy not just have a relaxing day observing the sun set in the forest near his own home town..? Should really learn mannors.." Erebos's voice was un nervingly calm while have a smooth hint to it. While he spoke he tilted his head back and turned it to look back at the male. He would've answered within his little ten second rule and he proubly was smart enough to know he wasen't trying to attack him, so Erebos had no reason not to be calm.

The fact of the matter is Erebos only knew of the soul socitay and the basics of hollows. He has yet to learn about Arrancar, Espada, Gillian class hollows or even of shinigami ranks and captains much less whoever Ender was. He was just enjoying life and fighting as it will. But perhaps this new visitor would change his perspective and out look. This was Erebos first meeting with another being other then a hollow though, so it was both odd and exciting. He let out a soft sigh as he turned his head back forward, his golden eyes coming open once more to enjoy the silence and once more disregarding the others pressence untill he answered.

'Hmph, seems this person is not purely human after all. No matter, he still shouldn't pose much of a threat to me. After all, I am The Black Flame; Leader of the Demon Iramasha's. No mere Quincy shall defeat me. Tch, not after all the battles I've faced, not after all the platoes I've reached, not after all the challenges I've overcome, not after all I've been through in my entire life. No, I'll teach this damned Quincy a lesson in true power if he thinks his power is superior to mine.' Thought Ketsu within the confines of his mind, ready, willing and able to show Erebos a thing or two about power.

Yeah, he had this fight in the back before it even started...or if it ever will.

In Ketsu's mind....

...he is always the victor and his opponent is always the loser.

That's just the way it was.

"Tch, you really don't know anything about Ender, eh? Then what the hell are you. A Quincy?" Said Ketsu to Erebos while taking very quick notice of the Quincy ability "Hirenkyaku". In a millisecond, Ketsu quickly glanced behind himself and scoffed. 'If he calls that TRUE speed, heh, then he is in for a shock. I'll simply show this fool the power of Chaos Control to put him in his place when it comes Speed.' Thought Ketsu to himself yet again, letting his ego take full effect.

"Foolish Quincy..." Spoke Ketsu, turning his entire body towards Erebos's direction. "...if you think you're strength is superior to mine, tch, then you have another thing coming." Said Ketsu, finishing his sentence with a small frown taking shape around his whole face.

"I can tell simply by viewing your body expression that you think you're somehow better then me." Gradually, a faint black glow could be seen surrounding Ketsu's body. Taking a small peep at his right hand, he sent more energy to his black fire ball making it slightly larger.

"Although, at any rate, I'm done talking. I'll show you, Quincy." Then, in a flash of white light Ketsu had disappeared. It had appeared as if he had disappeared from the entire area.

But he didn't, he was right there with Erebos.

~A half a second Later~

It had only been a half a second later, but Ketsu re-emerged out of another bright flash of white directly in front of Erebos. With a small smirk on his face, Ketsu pointed his right hand in front of his new opponent's face and chuckled.

"Your about to witness the power superior of The Black Flame. Heh, Chaos Flames." Said Ketsu in a confident matter of speaking while he let loose the powerful ball of flames that was once inside his right palm. When it was released, the black flame went flying at Erebos and then exploded into a larger ball of black fire.

'And now the battle has begun.' Thought Ketsu to himself, ready to take on his new challenge head first.

[Tenkai Daigo]

Erebos's adittude did not change at all even after the man had come up infront of him. He simpley did not care, he had no intreast in a battle. "What a pain. Egotistical and hot headed. Like I care who is stronger bettwen me and a stranger." Erebos thought to himself as he kept blabbering on about how appearntly Erebos thought he was better. The truth was he didn't give a rats ass either way. However the man did pose a threat. He noticed that when he fired a giant ass black flame at him. The flame it's self was fast but this guy underestimated him.

This might be due to the fact he was not using any place near his full speed earlyer. Why would he, he was not dodging but moving. Sighing lightly out of frustraitong more then anything, Erebos used Hirenkyaku once more to go over to the far left, way out of the way of the attack. The speed of this move was not even worthy of being compared to his first show. He also started letting more of his retsui leeking out, since when he moved around her kept it almost completely sealed off. He did this so he could be prepaired to fight if this guy further forced him to, but as stated he had no wish nor intent to fight.

"Remember the deal..Kill him..destroy him..rip him apart Erebos..I want his blood.[/i] the demon within himself spoke to his mind. Erebos simpley spat and sighed softly as he shook his head. "You're a foolish little demon arn't you? You don't even remember the deal you made with me..you said if anyone was in my way. This man isent in my way for I am going no place. I've no reason to fight him." Erebos spoke out loud to where even Ketsu could hear. This might clue him in into what Erebos truely was. In the end that might be a good thing because Erebos doesn't even know what he is. He is unaware of the immense power he could be weilding.

Despite his seemingly absent minded adittude he was infact paying extreamly close attenton to Ketsu. He was tracking his every breath, his every movment through retsui. His sensing was high enough to be used as 360 degree vision most of the time. The only thing that bothered him was when he vanished earlyer. He lost track of him for a moment. The guy could be a problem. "I SAID KILL HIM YOU FOOLISH BOY!!!!"[/i] hissed his demon and this only made Erebos angry.

He quickly raised his arm pointing to the east, away from Ketsu and fired off a concentrated burst of retsui that sent out a shock wave effect in that directon alone. The trees where bent over by nothing more then the concentraited presser. It would seem like a meer parlor trick that any captain or Lt level shinigami could preform easly in the human world. However to anyone who knew much about Quincys and there normal power levels it would've been instantly appearnt that the fact he could do that and still be standing without even braking a sweat or twitching.

Erebos was by no means a norma l Quincy. His inner demon that makes him what he was has grown with him since birth and when he unseals his retsui it is a monsterouse amount. But due to his mastery over controling it Ketsu wouldn't even realise it. That little shockwave was his own no to the demon. Sighing lightly though he turned his body to face Ketsu. Despite it all this would've been a fairly fast conversaiton he had, so hopefully Ketsu hadn't moved yet. Even if he had Erebos would've been atleast slightly aware.

"I apologise for that small interuption. I've the strangest little friend who trys to boss me around every turn and it's a tad frustraiting. Anyway..." Erebos's voice had trailed off as a small smile and a shrug was made by him. "I don't know if I am stronger or weaker then you, nor do I give a damn. I am just here relaxing when you come starting a fight. If you want I'll praise you as stronger if it'll cool off your testastorne levels. Just please be kind and leave me be. I've no reason to fight here." was all he said. Erebos would smile and shrug again as he awaited Ketsu's respons or perhaps next attack.

As Ketsu began detecting more of Erebos's spiritual pressure, he soon started to realize that this was not a regular Quincy. Far from it actually. There was something deeper within him. Something...more sinister to it. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he knew some type of other beings had to be inside this person's body.

An entity....like Dark Ketsu and Touketsu. The two pure evil beings that lived within his body. One serving as only a powerful key to awaken, as well as add to the others powers.

One day both Ketsu and Dark Ketsu would become apart of Touketsu's body. Becoming sealed within his dark soul with no hope of ever breaking out of that prison. That is, of course, if his true powers are ever awakened. Luckily for Ketsu a long time ago Halo, The Leader of the Angel Iramasha's, had sealed away Touketsu deep within Ketsu's soul, stopping him from fully taking complete control over Ketsu. Although, in this same process, Halo had unintentionally created another being of darkness.

Dark Ketsu

Dark Ketsu, in most aspects, was Touketsu's child since had created him from his own power. The main reason for his birth is for Dark Ketsu to activate his full power and take full control over Ketsu's body. Hopefully, this serge in power would break the seal deep within Ketsu's soul and release Touketsu from his prison; Free to roam and cause chaos and destruction wherever he appeared.

Until that day, though, both Ketsu and Dark Ketsu are forced to fight each other for dominance over this one body they share.


Viewing Erebos's destructive reitsu blast, Ketsu knew he was different. From that display of power, he knew, Erebo's was just like himself.

'So he's just like me, eh? Another Ziamichi.' Thought Ketsu within his head. Briefly putting away his inflated ego for the time being. "You," Spoke Ketsu as he folded his arms, "what is that being you posses within your body? Is it a demon?" Asked Ketsu towards Erebos, curious as to know what type of beast lived within this man's body. "If so, were more alike then I would like to think."

~Meanwhile, within Ketsu's body~

'Hehehehehe, do you really think whatever the hell lives within that boys body is stronger then us? Hahahahahaha! That's a fucking joke. I'll slaughter whatever the hell is in that Quincy's body. Bit by bit, piece of by piece, until there is nothing left of the weakling! LET ME OUT SO I CAN BRING THIS DEMON TO THE BATTLEFIELD!'Screamed Dark Ketsu inside Ketsu's body, wanting to finally fight against a being similar to himself.

'Heh, my beautiful pet has a point. This being doesn't stand a chance against all three of us. Just let him have his fun, heh-heh-heh, cause after all both of your days are numbered. Eventually I'll get out of this prison and take away both of your powers. So I suggest you two have fun while you can.' Spoke Touketsu's voice, echoing across all of Ketsu's body.

Dark Ketsu then began laughing insanely when he had heard what Touketsu. 'Like I plan to become apart of YOU! Once I reach full power I'll be sure to take all the powers within this body for myself. HAHAHAHAAHAH!'

'Both of you fools need to be quiet. I won't let either of you damned imbeciles win. I don't have time for your idiotic bickering. You two shall stay within me until the day I die, got it?' Said Ketsu to the two beings within his body. Showing each of them that he was the dominant one.

'Heh, you can keep telling yourself that, but one day you shall be ours.' Spoke Dark Ketsu and Touketsu in unison, putting aside their differences to fight against Ketsu together.

~Outside of Ketsu's power~

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Ketsu yelled and had a burst of black energy flare up all around the outside of his body, accompanied by strikes of red lighting. What Ketsu was doing was suppressing Dark Ketsu's power so he wouldn't make an attempt at taking over his body.

Grabbing on the left side of his face, Ketsu growled a little as a strong buzzing feeling went throughout his entire head.

"You see, I share the same problems as you."

Erebos listend carefuly to everything Ketsu had said, his eyes suddenly growing intense as he narrowed down to a hawk stare. Ketsu's words where ringing deep within his soul. "Is that a demon..?" Erebos didn't get to answer before his little display started going on. Erebos has never had to forcefuly surpress his demon so he had no idea as to what Ketsu was up to, but he wouldn't care as long as he did not try to attack him. "So..there are others like me?.." Erebos thought silently to himself. Sighing lightly he turned around fully to face the man, speaking over his display.

"That is correct. I have a demon within me. I've had him since birth." Erebos started to explain in a calm, yet some what reminicent tone. The demon inside him cackled lightly, always enjoying the story of there bonding. For some reason it made him smile but Erebos wasen't aware nor cared if it made the demon happy. Erebos closed his eyes as he started to explain the rest of what happened, since the man seemed so intrested in it. "I was brought into this world as a still born. Dead on arrivel one might say. The demon here fused with my infinit soul and used it's powers to seal the soul within my body."

Erebos explained as he stepped out onto air and sat down, using his spirtal presser to float. His eyes cut up to Ketsu, wondering if he was going to be done anytime soon and as to what he was doing. "The result of me being dead then brought back alive gave me immense spirital presser as it is. To the point my father had to seal it away untill i could control it so i would not crush myself or my human mother. But somehow this demon changed my spirital presser and mixed it's own into it causing it to grow even more. I at times blacked out because I couldn't control the huge amount." He blinked as he started to remember these things. Had been awhile since he had actully talked about it.

"Didn't know why but the demon happly explained. Hell the demon in me taught me how to seal away my own power as I grew. It turns out the demon in me is a shapeshifter. He has leeched hundred of years of power and when he fused with me, thats why I grew to such intense spirital presser levels. He is in short a power leech. As I grow stronger as does he." That was the end of his explaintion of "what" the demon was. However he still had to ask his own questions.

He looked to where his eyes should be and smiled lightly. "So since it seems I am not the only one in the world with this, what am I? What is wrong with you and why did you say we have the same problem? My demon has never given me any problems. He's always been very agreeabul."

~Inside Ketsu's Soul~

Touketsu floated aimlessly within a space inside Ketsu's Soul that was surrounded by blood red skies together with jet black clouds. The main purpose for this place being created was that it could seal off Touketsu from the rest of Ketsu's Mind, Body and Soul. It was meant to be a never ending hell for Touketsu, but he had gotten used to his surroundings over time. After all, he knew that one day he would finally be released from the prison.

He simply had to wait until Ketsu lost to Dark Ketsu or somebody freed him.

Then he could at long last return to his

Yes, it was all apart of the twisted game Touketsu called: Life.


"Such a foolish boy he is. Even he must know that one day all of his existence will come to an end. After that happens I'll become his new self. Taking all of my 'pets' powers along with his as they will be both cast into a void nothingness within my soul. Heh, it's only a matter of time." Spoke Touketsu, mainly speaking towards himself, but didn't mind if Ketsu was somehow able to pick on it. After all, he loved to torment Ketsu. So it would only further entertain him.

"And finally, I'll take my crown back as King of Demon World. Heh-heh-heh."

~Outside of the prison of Touketsu~

Dark Ketsu stood upon a large piece of black Earth that floated high up above an endless pit of black flames below him. Currently he was laughing very manically at the thought of either Ketsu taking full control of his body, him becoming apart of Touketsu once again or him being killed in battle. The first two thoughts were scary indeed, but he dealt with them by becoming more mentally unstable.

After all, you to would also become a bit psychotic after spending most of your life within a single persons body, only being born to serve as a tool for someone else.

"Hahahahaaa! I'll be damned if I ever lose myself to these two fuckers. No, no, no, NOOO! Heheheheh! I'll crush both of them and steal their power for myself. Then, when that day finally comes when I take full control of Ketsu and Touketsu, I'll become the new King Of World! I'LL BECOME A GOD! HAHAHAHA! Especially with those damned Demonic Emerald, I'll diffidently steal those. No one will even compare to my power." Yelled Dark Ketsu in a crazy rage that was echoed throughout Ketsu's entire body while he attempted to take control of Ketsu's body.

"Yeah...that's not how I'm going to die. No, I'm not gonna die like that. I will see freedom one day and escape this hell. That's for sure"

~Outside of Ketsu's Body~

"ENOUGH!" Shouted Ketsu, becoming irritated with both Dark Ketsu and Touketsu's goals. "None of you will take my body!"And in a flash of darkness, the black energy that surrounded Ketsu's body circled around his feet and turned into a swirling vortex of black flames with the red lighting slowly fading to black. This singled that Ketsu was in complete Control and he had successfully foiled an attempt by Dark Ketsu to gain dominance over his body.

However, this wouldn't be the last battle in a war for control over Ketsu's body.

Taking a deep sigh to calm himself, Ketsu looked back down at Embreo after over hearing him talk about the demon that sealed within his body.

"Hmph, were really more alike then I once thought. Right after I was born my father had sealed a powerful being within my body. I'm not sure what his reasoning for this was, but I despise him for this." Spoke Ketsu to Erebos, slowly forming a small bit of respect for this stranger since he had been through very similar circumstances like he did as a child.

"As for what you, hmph, your a Ziamichi. Basically, to sum it up, Ziamichi's are host like you and I with Dark Personality's, Demonic, Angelic or any other entity within them that gives them great power that is not a hollow or Zanpukto Spirit." Ketsu then moved the hair from his left eye as a gently breeze passed by. "Their are many people just like you out there in this world, so you're not the only one."

"And as for what's wrong me, tch, I simply got sick of the two beings darkness within my body driving me insane. So I suppressed the two of them so that neither of them could take control over my body. You see, I'm in a constant struggle for dominance over my body with these two. If I lose focus for even one second, he'll crush my skull and become the new King of my body. So I must always be on edge, it's a curse." Said Ketsu, final done with his explanation to all of Erebos's questions.

"Now, I have a question for you, Quincy. What is your name?"

[Tenkai Daigo]

Erebos stood up on the air and stretched out lightly, smiling as if he was happy all of a sudden. "Ziamachi huh? So that is what I'm called. Also seems there are many like me, atleast if this strange man is telling the truth.." Erebos thought to himself as he listend very carefuly to every word he spoke. One thing he said though sent a small shiver down his spine, how he had to fight for dominance over his body. Would his demon ever become so agressive? It would be a pain if he did, having to be in a constant battle.

However deep in thought he was though he was snapped out of it the instant he asked for his name. He smiled and nodded as to say he'd tell right before he did tell. "My name is Erebos Sintral Nightengale. My first name is derived from a greek god while my last name is one that stretchs back many generaitons." Erebos explained in a now more relaxed, happyer tone. What he said about his name was true. His family name was thought to be long lost amongst Quincy but it went back far into the generaitons. His family was one of the few to survive the slaughter of the Shinigami, but this was a history he didn't even care to remember.

His eyes then moved up to look into the stranger's, smiling still before asking. "And your name?" Was all that he asked. However his thoughts where tormented by his demon suddenly. He was not showing the pain but his demon was acting up. It seemed it's pressence had change as if it had gotten stronger all of a sudden. What could it be? Could it possibley be leeching off the power from his demons? Erebos had no idea what was going on but it was starting to bother him.

'Now, enough of this madness. Your not going to ruin my day, not today. You two bastards are going to learn your place god dammit! I command you beast to back down! ' Thought Ketsu to himself. Mainly referring to the two beings that lived within his body who were giving him so much trouble, along with the swirling vortex of black flames and electricity that surrounded his body.

"Enough." Muttered Ketsu silently to himself while taking a deep breath. Then, Ketsu closed each of his eyes and began trying to relax his nerves. You see, each time Dark Ketsu or Touketsu surfaced Ketsu's body suffered a serious amount of stress.

Perhaps this was one of the major reasons (Apart from his past) why Ketsu acted the way he did. The two beings were simply beating the life out of him from the inside daily.It would be pure hell for anyone to battle with two powerful beings of darkness trying to take over body on the regular-basis. Fearful of becoming apart of one of those beings.

Imagine the kind of person you would end up becoming if something like that were to happen to you.

You'd never be the same.

"Enough" Muttered Ketsu one more time.

Soon, after he his body was relieved from all the stress Dark Ketsu along with Touketsu had caused, the swirling vortex of black flames in addition to the black lighting that bordered all around his body had stopped. Seemly it had appeared as if all that chaotic energy evaporated into thin air, but in reality it simply reverted back into Ketsu's body.

Now that Ketsu had tamed Touketsu in addition to Dark Ketsu, he could finally hold a decent conversation with Erebos's without any distractions or interruptions.

Slowly Ketsu began moving his head back down to look at Erebos. "My name?" Asked Ketsu while he was gradually descending from upon the sky and back to this strange new acquittance of his. "My name is Ketsu Iramasha, otherwise known as The Leader of The Demon Iramasha's or 'The Black Flame'." Spoke Ketsu, finally meeting face to face with this odd Quincy.

Now that these two Ziamichi's had properly greeted each other, where would their relationship go from here?

Inside Erebos's Soul

[/i][/center]

"I refuse to suffer these conditons any longer..this damned human..needs to die already. . .If he won't attack. I will.."[/b] The demon within Erebos spoke softly to himself, cutting off his voice from Erebos's ears. He would not know his intentons untill it was too late. The demon cackled to himself as it walked around the warped inner world of Erebos's soul. The demon had long morphed it into his own fondaiton, his own home. Black, red predominated the areas. Not a cloud in the sky yet it was raining what seemed to be blood. The formless, black figure of a demon took it's true shape for the first time ever. Somthing was stirring.

As the demon twisted and turned into it's true form it's voice changed even and a weapon twisted from the neither forming in it's hand. The voice was that of a beautiful female as she looked up to the blood ridden sky and grinned softly. "Sorry Erebos..but It's time I've taken over for awhile..It isent polite to keep a woman waiting..I don't know why but somthing has made me stronger here..and now I'll use it.." The demon said as she started Erebos's Decent. She only cackled as she started to corrupt his soul even further.


True form of Numomachi, Erebos's inner demon.

In the real world only seconds before take over.

[/i][/center]

Erebos's body was becoming more reluctent to do as he commanded and he was finding it harder to contain his fluxing spirital presser. Luckly he was surpressing it so Ketsu wouldn't notice it. Yet. "What the hell is going on. This never happned before.." Erebos thought to himself as he looked calmly over to Ketsu, smiling lightly. "Thats a nice name, though I've never heard of the Iramashi admitedly. What are they a fa- "It's time for me to come out Erebos.." the demon said, replacing Erebos's voice mid sentince. The voice was enchanting and beautiful, beyond seductive in it's tone.

The moment this happened Erebos lost all control he had. His body was taken over in the moment by the surprise attack and his extreamly large amount of Spirital Presser started pouring out. Both his and the Demons. This would be the first time the power of this demon truely ever came to the surface and the first time Erebos's body would ever be taken over by it. It was here he would learn to actully control his demon. A black mist swirled around his body that shot off sparks of lightning as the demonic influence was raising and even if Shadin attacked he would find that the mist was acting like a barrier at the moment.

It would only take about six seconds but when the mist finally dispurses in a shock wave and his spirital presser is so high it was crushing everything around it except for Shadin, being the only powerful being in the area, Erebos's body would be completely changed. Even the outfit warped by the corruption. His spiked white hair had fallen down into black, stragly hair and he was in a outfit reminicent to a shreded verson of what "The knights Templar" used to wear hundreds of years ago. The golden eyes turned pure blue and he lifted his head to look up at Shadin, a sly smile forming to his lips. It might be his body but it was by no means Erebos at this point. It was his demon.

"So many years this one lasted...most of them where weak enough for me to absorb in a year, this one lasted over twenty..impressive but it had to come to a end some time. I don't know what you did..Ketsu..to strengthen me to the point i could take over but..I thank you."[/i] The demon's seductive voice uttered as it licked it's lips softly. The body was to relaxed but the feeling of blood lust tainted the area around it. Somthing bad seemed like it was abotu to happen.

Inside Erebos's Soul

[/i][/center]

Erebos awoke only second laters within what was his inner world. The warped world at first scared Erebos, he wasen't expecting it. But his shock soon faded as he looked around and saw his demon. He growled softly, thinking it was a hollow of some kind, raised his hand and brought forth his bow, drawing the string and taking aim at the demonic figure. "Who the hell are you.." Erebos asked in a snide voice as his eyes narrowed to a hawks stair. The demon only chuckled as she looked him over, licking her lips seductively.

"I..am you Erebos...or you are me..sounds more approprit at this point.."[/i] She said with a grin. The battle ground was set. The trap had been sprung. Now everything will fall into place. Peice, by piece.

Seconds before Erebo's inner demon, Numomachi, had surfaced from within Erebo's body; Ketsu was able to detect it's spiritual pressure rising. With this information in his head, Ketsu jumped back some 30 feet to avoid getting injured from Numomachi's release. He's seen many demons in his time and knows that mostly every powerful demon has an explosion energy rage from out of their bodies once they obtain a certain amount of power. Hell, even if he never saw a demon before, he'd know from past examples of Dark Ketsu taking control of his body. Each time he came out a burst demonic energy would arise from within Ketsu's body in a dazzling display of amazing power.

At any rate, Ketsu knew he was in for one hell of a battle now that Erebo's demon had come onto the battlefield. That's for sure.

Now, it was time to bring his best forward to meet this new challenge that had appeared before him. Yeah, to him, it was just another chance to display his amazing strength. While at the same time flattering and expanding his already inflated ego.

Although he was hoping to further get to know Erebos since he had seemed so much similar to himself. There was so much more Ketsu wanted to know about him before this...thing...had possessed him.

So much left un-said.


When the sparks and mist slowly faded away from Erebos, or whom ever the person was in front of him, faded away; Ketsu scoffed. Not phased by Numomachi's display of power. Though, the main reason why Ketsu was not moved in any way was because he's seen all before with Demon Shadin, along with the times Dark Ketsu has taken control of his body.

After Ketsu had the disgusting words that uttered out of this demon's mouth, he scoffed again, repulsed by this demons appearance and reitsu.

"I didn't give YOU anything. I don't quite know what's going on between you and Erebos, but I know if you're planning on challenging me, heh, you're in for a surprise." Spoke Ketsu towards the demon before him. Quickly charging up his reitsu so that black flames shot up from his feet and then upward towards his head, expanding so that it would only surround his body.

"So if you plan on attacking me, I suggest you do it now." When Ketsu finished speaking, his eyes could be seen glowing bright red as he waited to see whatever this demon had planned for him.

Ready to take on another challenge, just like he always did.

~Within Touketsu's prison~

The second Touketsu began to sense Numomachi's spiritual pressure from all the way inside Ketsu, he merely smirked. In his mind he figured that Numomachi must have sensed his reitsu boiling within Ketsu. That or Dark Ketsu's presense.

"Heh~ I guess the woman wants a little bit of what's inside Ketsu. Oh my~" Said Touketsu to himself as he began to form up a large piece of rock below him. When the rock fully appeared, Touketsu floated down up to it and closed his eyes to get a better view of the fight via Ketsu's vision.

"That, or our power made something within that woman snap~"

~Outside of Touketsu's prison~


Dark Ketsu merely laughed at the presense of Numomachi's release. He figured that he could cut anything that threatens him into a million places. Nothing could stand in his way. Everything was beneath him. Everyone other then himself, Touketsu and Ketsu were nothing but weak fools. In that aspect, Dark Ketsu gained some of Ketsu's arrogance.

"HAHAHAHAHA! If that bitch wants to fight either of us I'll rip her to pieces!"Laughed Dark Ketsu from within Ketsu's body, really wanting to take on Numomachi right now, but couldn't due to Ketsu surpressing him.

"I swear, I'll figure out a way to show myself during this battle."

Outside Erebos's soul

"Oh my, my. You have a roudy bunch inside you, don't you Ketsu..? But enough talk.."[/i] the demon spoke softly and smiled as she gazed over Ketsu's body. She growled softly to herself though. She wasen't as strong as she could be yet, but she would do what she could. Without even hesitaitn she raised her right hand as huge bow materlized in her hands. She was drawing on Erebos's Quincy abilites. She smile and drew the string.

The arrow that formed was pure red with a black center and black lightning crackling all over it. Ketsu might notice the similure properties to his own, atleast in terms of look. But rather this presented a propertie to attack was left to be seen. Whatever it was though, the arrow it felt did not hold the feeling of a reguler Quincy arrow. The feel of it would be thicker, more powerful then any Quincy arrow that he would've felt before and not because of the Spirital presser used to make it.

The demon kept the arrow trained on Ketsu but cracked a very soft smile before pointing the arrow up in the air and letting go of the bow string. The force of the blow would've turned the bow around in the demon's hand and the bow would be going at astounding speeds. The move she was preforming right off the bat was reckless but it held no matter to her. If the body died she would not die. She would just be expelled. So what did the boys health matter to her?

The arrow once through the cloud would've split into hundreds upon hundreds of arrows that spread over a extreamly wide arrow. Seeing as it was in the clouds it would've looked like streaking red lightning through the sky. Maybe then in these few seconds Ketsu would notice the reason she smiled lightly. There was a equel amount of retsui strings attached to her arm, hand and finger tips. The demon twitched her arm down and all the arrows in the air redircted and started to plumet to earth, covering a extreamly wide area.

The demon did not bet Ketsu the mercful or sentamental type, but if by chance he had a shred of humanitie for the boy he should try to get him out of harms way. The body she inhabited was in much danger as anyone but the diffrence was she wasen't going to move. This was a test of sorts to Ketsu, to not only see a display of power but to see just what kind of person he is. Would he let the boy get slaughtered and save himself?

Or would Ketsu risk injurie to get them both out of harms way while hoping Erebos can regain control before he is forced to kill the body off himself. Nomomachi was fully expecting the boy to let Erebos get slaughtered right then and there. Either way it would no matter. She would win either way. If the body died she got her power. If she killed Ketsu off she would absorb the boy then Ketsu. The only threat to her was Erebos himself but she did not have any expectaitons for him.

As far as she could see it she had won. Easly. "Nice knowing you Erebos.."[/i] The demon muttered silenty as the Arrows got closer and closer, electrecity crackling all around them. Nomomachi only chuckled. She would win.

Inside Erebos's Soul

[/center]

Erebos let loose two rapid shots at the demon infront of him, ignoring what she said completely. She easly dodged the two shots by jumping up in the air and grinning softly "She is fast.." Erebos thought to himself as his golden, hawk like eyes tracked the beast every movment. He brought his bow and arrow up to fire another shot at the hollow but before he noticed she was gone. "What t-" He coughed before he could finish as the feel of a knee dug into his gut.

Erebos flew back through the air and straight into one of the spirital trees within the blood stained realm he was brought to. He landed on his hands and knees and caughed up alittle bit of blood, gasping for air having had all the wind knocked out of him from the strike. He noticed feet infront of him and quickly looked up. The demon, which he thought was a hollow, stood infront of him. She only smiled down at him and ran her hand softly over his face, speaking in a seductive tone.

"Poor..poor boy..you don't even know your own demon when you see her..? You've much to learn my dear boy but..I'm afraid you'll be dead before that ever happens.."[/i] She said as her soft, almost loving touch shot for his throat and picked him up. Erebos couldn't fight back at this point, he was stuck in a state of shock. He coughed softly as he looked down at the demon.

"T-this is my demon!? What the hell is going on. Where the hell am I!?" Erebos thought franticly before he drew his arrow and tryed to shoot but she threw him away instantly and he used his Hirenkyaku to move away and regain his balance. He growled and spat. "Why the hell are you doing this. You've never given me problems before demon. . ." He spat as he kept his eyes locked on her.

"My name isent Demon Erebos..it's Numomachi. Please get that right. The rest is illrelavent. Just prepair for death.."[/i] She vanished from sight and came up behind Erebos. The movment was a milasecond. This thing was beyond fast it seemed. She chuckled not striking but screwing him. Erebos was utterly out matched.

Quickly and without delay, Ketsu began getting into an offensive stance in addition to preparing for an attack by gathering up large amounts of reitsu from within his body. He growled slightly in anger as the flames that surrounded his body reacted to it by becoming more intense in heat. Right now, if you were a mere human without any special powers and you were near Ketsu, you'd automatically be reduced to ash due to the fierce feeling his reitsu gave off.

There is reason why he calls himself "The Black Flame". It's because he has an extremely extraordinary, unique talent of freely controlling fire in his attacks. He is virtually a master in the art of fire attacks or anything that relates to flames.

Heh, you could call him a bit of a pyromaniac.

But then, before Ketsu could even react to this strange demon woman's actions, he noticed that the bow had went past him and upwards into the sky. For a brief few seconds he was confused by this choice in attack, but quickly realized what she was doing when he noticed red lighting scattering throughout the sky.

She was trying to attack both him and the body she was possessing. It was either Ketsu tried to save himself and leave Erebos to die or try to save him at the risk of harming himself. It was truly a diffcult decision to make up in the short amount of time Ketsu had, but based on the feeling of wanting to know about this Quincy, Ketsu decided that would be more then enough reason to spare this fool from his demise via the demon from within himself.

Although, if this had been the Ketsu before his heart was changed by his wife and family, he wouldn't have even thought about saving this stranger. Ketsu would have simply let this person die and saved himself.

And then, he would even try to figure out a way to zap the demon powers from within Erebo's corpse..just to gain more power on his conquest to be the ultimate being.


"What a pain in the ass this woman is..." Muttered Ketsu to himself, not caring if Nomomachi was somehow able to pick up what he was saying. "...heh, but after all aren't all women a pain?" Not wasting any time, Ketsu thew his hand up into the air and began forming up a large ball of black flames. "In any case, whoever you are, you're about to discover why I call myself "The Black Flame" Spoke Ketsu directly to Nomomachi.

Then, within five seconds, Ketsu threw the ball into the middle of him and Nomoachi. "Hell Inferno Barrier" He spoke as the blast exploded, not harming him nor' Nomoachi, and expanded all around them within a 10,000 feet area; Protecting them from the electric arrows from outside and forming a large ball of black flames within the forest that could be seen and sensed for miles.

"Whatever attack you had plan, heh, it's gonna make this barrier stronger and expand it even further." Ketsu then had a devilish smirk appear around his lips as a sword made of pure black flames began forming in his right palm.

"And whoever you are, tch, you're fucking history." He then raised the flaming sword his hand swung towards Nomomachi's direction, sending a larger wave of destructive black waves towards her.

Now the between these two battle had finally begun. Who would be the victory? And how would Ketsu be able to save Erebos?

Real world

Nomomachi grinned softly as he protected both himself and Erebos's body. She couldn't help but chuckle for a moment. "So, the boy whom resembles a Crow does have a heart. How befitting.." Thought Numomachi silently before twisting her arm and diverting all the arrows heading for the barrier around the barrier, all heading to a single point straight in the middle. "Well if I can't destroy the barrier. . . I might as well give us more play room. . . ."[/i] She spoke and right at that moment a ear bursting explosen could be heard as the first arrow met the barrier's under belly.

This forced all the other arrows explode at once as well, the shockwave alone being enough to force the barrier and them higher up in the air. The explosen was not just a normal blast however, it was sending charges of lightning over the entire forest and the underside of the barrier. Lightning, like fire is pure energy. Due this he might notice a much more rapid expanson then what he was used to. However that wasent the reason for the display of power, but it was to show him what could've been had he let Erebos been struck

If he could see the forest below them he would see a extreamly wide and fairly deep crator. The trees in the surronding area of the crator would be set ablaze in all directons, the fire spreading very rapidly. The arrow barrage was devistating by any means. In some ways this was a glimpse into what could be Erebos's future. He could weild this demons power and this was also just a preimptive strike. There might be many more surprises. Athough Erebos never knew this, he was the only Quincy in the world who has a demon inside him.

In other words despite the fact Ketsu knew so much about demons and there forms of power, the effect it would have over the Quincy would be unknown. It's already clear that it effected his bow and his arrows by a substantul amount but there lays the question. Is there more to it, or is it really so straight forward? As the final lightning struck the barrier and it expanded further Nomomachi smiled softly and rolled her body's neck, cracking it and chuckling. She clearly had no problem with mindless destruction.

But she didn't even act impressed with herself like someone who displayed a vast amount of power would. "My name is Nomomachi and after 1,200 years of absorbing so many souls into my own. This one is by far the funnest."[/b] Nomomachi said with a soft smile. She started to walk around the newly expanded barrier, but she made sure to keep distance away from Ketsu, atleast for now. It was as if she was wanting nothing more then to just observe Ketsu. "This barrier must take alot of energy to hold. . ."[/i] she said as she kept her eyes on him

"Does it take more energy the bigger it gets Ketsu? Or do you know, since somthing like this doesn't seem normal for you to hold so long. But you do want to protect the boys body. So you maintain it with your will and your attacks at once."[/i] Nomomachi kept walking, chuckling at the thought. She was proubly right with her observaitons just because of the type of deffense it was. But on the off chance she was wrong it didn't matter.

The fact it expands per attack as he stated himself ment somthing. Everything had a reason. Out of no place however she fired off two extreamly rapid of her electric arrows at Ketsu, one aimed for the throat, the other for his liver. Odd targets but in the end effective ones. If he observed the display earlyer he should know that simpley blocking them wouldn't help him to much. He would have to have another full body deffense or avoid it completely. She also used what looked to be Hirenkyaku but it wasen't.

Whatever it was it was much faster and it gave off a sharp squeel when used that echoed the entire area. She shot two more shots at his back, only a few miliseconds after the first two shots, these two aimed at his heart and kidney. She used the strange verson of Hirenkyaku once more to go the farthest she could from him to observe his reaciton. She was expecting them to hit but she was enjoying watching him squirm and react. It was intresting to her.

She chuckled to herself silent once more, a smile coming to her body's lips. "What will you do Ketsu. How long can you last before your body is drained or before you're forced to kill Erebos.."[/i] She spoke in a soft, taintalizing voice.

Erebos's Soul

[/center]

Erebos's body rolled across the ground, kicking up dirt with every rotaiton and then flying up in the air as it hit a bump before landing flat on his stomach, coughing up blood and panting, his right hand gripping his gut as the demon Nomomachi strided up to him, slowly and her true form. She was licking her lips all the way. She leaned down and picked Erebos up by the neck and whispered softly in his ear. "It'll be over soon..Just slip away my dear.."[/i]

Erebos just glared down at her and spat in her face. "Like I'd let you kill me you little bitch.." Erebos said this in a growl as he looked down at her. His calm, kind personalitie was all but gone at this point. To Nomomachi's surprise he curved his foot up and kicked her in the chin while back flipping but she also found a arrow through her right shoulder that sent her spiriling to the ground. She thought he was too weak to fight at this point, but she had underestimated him.

Erebos landed fully on his feet and skidding to a stop, looking almost animelistic in his stance as he rose up and shot two more shots, aiming for both her eyes. Nomomachi used her verson of Hirenkyaku once more to avoid these two strikes and chuckled, looking at the huge hole in her shoulder. She started to laugh sounding like she was going mad. "It actully hurts..This wonderful feeling is pain..? Give me more Erebos..I want more blood and pain.."[/i] She cackled madly as she watched him.

Her madness was showing even in the outside world at this point.

Real World

[/center]

Nomomachi was cackling just as hard in realitie a s she was inside Erebos's soul, before the arrows even got half way to Ketsu. She was swaying with delight and a huge grin on her face as her spirital presser spiked. Just abit of Erebos's Retsui leaked out at that time though, showing that he was braking through but not by much. It should be a very slight becon of hope to Ketsu, that Erebos can be saved. Nomomachi grinned as she looked over to Ketsu, her attack nearing.

"He..is such a fighter isent he Ketsu?"[/i]She cackled again smiling as she licked her lips.
