AKATSUKI KOJO

"Can't you talk? Or are you just ignoring me?" The demon yelled angrily, his veins were becoming more visible.

"I'm just waiting for you to say your last words before I kill you. If you are done, just let me know. I'm needed in other places too, you know"

"Huh!?" The demon yelled, bewildered by his speech. "You better drop the tough guy act. In case you haven't noticed, it's five on-one and we won't let you leave here alive"

The rest of the demons suddenly fell to the ground as if something had pushed them down creating large craters around them, slowly, their bodies were crushed as they wailed till their bodies were crushed to nothing. Their bodies slowly turned into ashes and flew away.

"Now it's just the two of us, what are you going to do now?" Akatsuki said with a mischievous smile on his face.

"How did... That's impossible!" The demon argued, his face was becoming sweaty as he tried to move backward to gain distance from him, but the wall and his size did not let him. "You didn't even touch them"

Kojo fixed his gaze on him, walking slowly to the demon with a smile on his face, trying his best not to laugh.

"I got a question for you, demon", Akatsuki said, as he stopped on his track. "If you give me the answer I want, I might let you go. But if you don't..." Akatsuki chuckled.

"Are you threatening me? Why the hell do you think you are? I'm not scared of you!" The demon yelled as he extended his arm grabbed Akatsuki by the head and slammed him to the wall behind, without wasting time he extended more of his arms, punching Akatsuki deeper into the wall until it crumbled.

The demon stood there, patiently waiting for the dust to clear up so he could see Akatsuki's face.

"Let's see how you survive that?" He boasted.

"I guess you are ready to die then," Akatsuki said as he pulled himself from the wall, he was completely unharmed, there was not even a scratch on his uniform.

"How!?, How did you survive that? What kind of monster are you?"

Akatsuki walked slowly to the demon with a mischievous smile on his face.

"I'm no monster, I'm just a superior being blessed by God himself"

In an instant, Akatsuki appeared on top of the demon and held its head by using his fingers to pierce into the demon's eyes and pull it backward, slowly ripping the demon's head out of its body.

"Did you get that, demon?" Akatsuki said, slowly twisting its head sidewards and pulling it gently but painfully. "I am special, I am blessed by God himself, pitiful bugs like you don't deserve to breathe the same air I breathe"

The demon yelled in pain as he tried to hold Akatsuki with his hands but it didn't touch him, each time he tried to touch him it was like there was a barrier stopping his hands from reaching him.

_What kind of monster is he?, I can't touch him, no matter how hard I try. Is this his technique_ the demon thought?

"You must be wondering, what is my technique? Too bad for you, 'cause I'm not going to do something as stupid as revealing my technique to you" With a grin on his face, he completely pulled out the demon's head, spilling blood all over the place. Akatsuki raised the demon's head and let the blood pour down on him although his barrier stopped the blood mid-air and let it flow to the ground. Slowly, the demon's corpse disintegrated to ash and floated away into dust.

"That was too easy," Akatsuki said as he looked at his palm. "No stain at all. I guess compressing my Karma didn't work out either, but at least it helped a little, if I hadn't compressed it, the demon might have not even come out to fight"

Suddenly, his phone rang. He picked up the phone and put it on his right ear.

"Are you done?" The voice of an older man spoke through the speaker, from the sound of his voice, one could tell that the man was in his late forties.

"Yeah, I'll be moving on to the next location" Akatsuki answered and made his way out of the subway station.

"Wait!" Akatsuki stopped. "Did you get an answer from the demon?"

Akatsuki had forgotten about that.

"Yeah, I mean no. The demon refuse to say anything" he lied.

"Is that so?" There was uncertainty in his voice. "Did you put on a barrier before you engaged in battle with the demon?"

Barrierwereas were used not only in the academy but also before battle by supernaturals, this was to protect the civilians and minimize property damage and Akatsuki had forgotten about that.

"Yes, I did"

"Okay," the man sighed. "I hope there was not too much damage to the station?, S we can quickly send a team there to clean up and the station can be reopened"

Akatsuki looked around.

"It was the demon"

Without waiting for the man to say anything, Akatsuki hung up the phone and slid it into his pocket.

_Now, to the next location_ he thought as he walked away. "Tsk, damn sages"

...

Both Kakashi and Kurumi took a battle stance, each of them waiting for the other to attack first.

"Start" a man announced, meaning it was time to fight but Kakashi had something else in mind.

"Kurumi Yamikaze. Before we fight, can I ask you a question?" Kakashi asked.

"You.. don't have to call me by my full name!" Kurumi yelled. His character had changed, or, it was not like how she was the first time he met her. "W... what is it?"

"Do you know about the attack on the three great clans?"

"Yes, who doesn't!"

"That means the Yamikaze clan was also wiped out" Kurumi's expression changed, she looked kind of emotional. "I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings but I just wanted to ask if you knew what his... its face looks like"

"Shut up!, Don't try to get involved in anything that doesn't concern you" Kurumi burst out. "You're just trying to make me let my guard down"

Kurumi charged towards Kakashi, so he had no choice but to retaliate. Besides, he could still try to get an answer from her after the battle.

As Kurumi closed on to Kakashi, he wanted to use his lightning blast but he decided against it.

He clutched his fist tightly.

_If what Ayaka said was true, I shouldn't underestimate her_

BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!
