Arc (I) - Chapter 3 : The Two Sides of The Fence

"Kenji!" Takashi yelled seeing the unfortunate teacher sink into the depths of the ground.

"You're next big guy!" Kurohana yelled as she dashed at him and began slashing at him with her blood stained nails over and over as he too sunk deeper and deeper into the black flower field.

"K-Kenj..." Only their heads stuck out of the blackened ground. Kurohana cackled even harder witnessing the two and admiring their pathetic attempt.

"I think that's enough for nyow..." Said a voice from behind.

Kurohana turned around. "Hah?! Who dares trespass into my pocket dimension?" She yelled out as her black flower on her eye grew even brighter.

Out of the mist came Rinen. "I should've known you'd attack when everyone else is occupied at the concert venue. Sadly, this is the end of the road for nyou."

"Tsk...Its you. Solar cultist." The group that formed an alliance with the vampire hunters, sharing similar, if not the same goal. Kurohana glared as she faced him. "You're here to rid of me aren't you? I won't lose this time. Don't worry."

His yellow sun shaped eyes glowed brightly spinning in contrast to Kurohana's spinning double wheel red eyes. Kurohana glared at him as the two trapped in the field of black flowers were released, their eyes only revealing pure white.

"I managed to evacuate the city in time thankfully. However, I'm still at nya disadvantage here fighting at night. So if you lose, consider it an embarrassment." He said as he clenches his fists with a smile, his fists glowing golden.

A black aura envelopes Kurohana's fists as she dashes at him and the two exchanged blows with each other. Rinen blasted a infusion of Taiyo energy onto her body as she yelped in pain before quickly dashing back and hitting back with a powerful blast of red lightning.

Rinen quickly dashed over and appears behind her and grabs her, crashing the both of them into a nearby building. "Hah! Let go of me! You can't keep like this forever!" She attacks with a flurry of punches while Rinen was able to keep up quickly before he quickly put two fists near her face and blasted a powerful sun ray scarring her as blood coughed out her mouth.

"G-Gah. I can't believe it. No..." She falls down from the building as Rinen kept a straight face. He then gasped as he went down as fast as possible but it was too late. Blood was all over her nails and face as she smiled wildly. The dust cleared revealing the two teachers, their bodies lifeless and drained, layed sprawled across the ground.

"Damn you. You sick vampire. Taking the blood of the defeated for to win." Rinen yelled. She grinned as she put her nail up to her teeth and grinned.

"Chehihihihi! My My...Didn't think that through did ya? You know I don't play fair." She cackled.

Rinen quickly dashed at her his fists in a quick pace it was near impossible to track.

"So you want more huh?!" She quickly retaliated by punching him far crashing him into another building while continuing to shoot out blasts of bloodglow at him. He quickly retaliates with a shield he made using his Taiyo energy.

"How long can you last now? Rinen Koritzu!?" Her eyes widening in admiration. She continued to blast off her attacks onto him, the area enveloping once more into a field of chaos.

What a long day. I was walking back from the performance and noticed a huge amount of smoke and fire in the distance.

"What the- Boro! Wake up!" I yelled out to my shirt pocket.

"Ugh...Come on man, just give me a few more minutes." He replies back in a tired tone.

I was already running but hit onto an invisible barrier blocking me and others from getting near.

"What is this?" I asked a civilian.

"I'm not sure. I can't get through but I'm pretty sure that person over there set this up to keep us safe."

I watched as the man pointed to Rinen who was dashing around trying to block all of Kurohana's attacks as multiple petals fell down and began chasing after him through the air and crashing him into buildings.

"Chehihihi!" That laugh sounded familiar. Could it be? The sillouette was too fast but I could somehow recognize who it was, Kurohana."

"Hey its that vampire girl from earlier." Boro said while already sipping on one of the canned drinks I brought with me for him.

"Boro. We need to help Rinen. I don't think he'll be able to keep up any longer. He's already struggling so much."

"I wish I could but this barrier is too strong for us to pass through. I'm afraid we'll have to wait this one out. Plus we wouldn't be able to keep up with her anyways." Boro was right. Looking at the two fight now, I wouldn't be able to land a single hit at how fast she was. Shirakama did tell me the longer she doesn't fight him, the stronger she becomes for when she does fight.

"Chehihihi!" Kurohana was now dragging Rinen across a building before throwing him down to the ground and pummeling him down.

"Gah!" Rinen was being ragdolled like crazy. He was given no time to attack back. This was getting a bit more intense." I could see the battle playing out even further and if I didn't do anything now then she'll kill him.

Boro was already sleeping in my pocket once more, the can he drank was on the floor. I walked around a bit more and saw the two lifeless bodies on the ground. Kenji and Takashi.

"Damn...Kurohana managed to take their blood huh? So she really is a vampire." I tried to get to then and banged on the invisible barrier desperately and yelling.

"Don't tell me you guys are dead! Wake up! Let me through" Yet, no matter how many times I banged on the barrier, I couldn't get through. Tears streamed down my eyes seeing the two on.

I then remembered to a few things Kazeka taught me.

"You have...an extremely unique ability...However, I don't think you know how to use it to your full extent yet, I'll list a few more things you can do with it though." She says with one finger up. "WIth your speed now and precise aim, you'll be able to phase through subatomic particles quick enough, allowing you to bypass a physical wall or barrier of any sorts if used correctly."

Luckily, Shirakama was no where to be seen so I quickly moved back and rnveloped myself in the powerful purple aura once more and dashed in, my body moving so quickly and though the barrier. I was in.

I quickly removed the aura to maintain my soulflow and went over to see Rinen, but it was too late.

"Rinen!" I went by his side and his eyes fluttered open a bit as he looked at me. "Ah... its you... How did you... Get through my barrier. Well, its too late for me anyway."

I quickly looked up and barely dodged Kurohana's incoming flower beam.

"Damn it." I took a look at my hand, it was bleeding, the attack managed to scrape my hand.

"Chehihihihi! Well if it isn't The Wanderer!" She yelled to me from the top of the building.

I looked around at all the lifeless bodies around me. This was bad. What am I doing? I just wandered off into a battlefield for no reason and now I'm about to die here.

My body was trembling at the sight of her, I was practically looking up at the devil himself.

"What a shame. We've danced once already...yet it feels as if my bodies on fire, I want to dance with you once again." She says in a teasing tone.

My face was showing a strange smile, one filled with such high amounts of nervousness, I was scared for my life. The amount I've had to go through already. Now, I'm back to where I was before, standing below the beast awaiting for it to devour its prey. The rain was pouring intensely.

"Kurohana..." I gripped my fist. I knew I couldn't go down without a fight. I have been trying for so long now. My heart was beating so quick, It was clearly telling me I was going to die right then and there.

I got up. "Alright! Let's do thi-"
