Fourth scratches that top of his head as his ponders his next move. "Now, now, what do we do with the rest of you."
He had severed Kuhitho sight, leaving only one part of the demon intact; the speech. Without the Kuhitho ability to hear and or see its surroundings, the last part of destroying the demon, had become easy for Fourth...yet his urge to mess about had taken over.
I did say that I was growing rather impatient 'fighting', if you'd call it that. But all this suspense is making me excited.
Something in Fourth was changing, he wasn't sure what that was, but he knew he was savoring every second.
The view around Fourth and Kuhitho had slowly disappeared, right before their eyes. A viel of imagination had fallen back to the dark and mysterious place it was.
"Dont need that anymore. I'm still weak from before, and a spell like that drains my magic, if its active for too long; though a change of scenery was nice. "
As reality sets back in for Fourth and Kuhitho; Asuta is yelling to grab Fourths attention, her voice becomes shakier with each word.
"Fourth, are you there? Can you hear me?"
Fourth, slightly turns his body away from Kuhitho and drags his gaze upward onto Asuta. He stares at her, with a cold expression.
"What happened there? You werent answering me before. You and that Demon were simply standing there... staring at each other. Did you defeat it? It looks injured, is it dead? Are you listening? Fourth?" Panic strikes Asuta, as she manges to get her thoughts in order, everything comes piling out at once.
Fourth rolls his eyes back in disgust and puts his finger against his lips, making the indication for Asuta to be quiet.
"Do you ever stop running your mouth?"
After Fourth had made that remark, Asuta mouth had dropped open, her ability to speak was taken from her and she stood there motionless. Fourth huffs arrogantly turning his back to Asuta.
A sense of dreadrushesoverFourth.
The last part of this demon is speech, but why do I get the strange feeling its not.
In the psychology battle between the sight part of Kuhitho and Fourth, there was a quick change that would alter the fight. At that instant before Fourth's Emotion magic: Renewal scenery 'slasher card' had made impact, slicing through Kuhitho eye sight. Kuhitho sight had put its last energy into summoning Kuhitho hearing back, however it could only summon one part. Which meant Kuhitho hearing was fighting alongside Kuhitho speech. Kuhitho's hearing left eye had sluggishly opened.
He's been defeated. Hasnt he?
Kuhitho hearing could feel the shift in power, and Fourth was radiating with it.
And with that last bit of information, Kuhitho's speech had opened its eyes.
It appears that he has, but you're here now.
Look who decided to show up.
Kuhitho sight refused the help, you know how headstrong they were.
Thats none the less, Im here though, Im only half here, so my potential isn't at its full power.
There wasn't much time to waste, Fourth had to come up with a plan and fast.
So, then thats what the stange feeling was, Kuhitho hearing is back. This will appear troublesome. I had Kuhitho sight easily defeated and Kuhitho speech would be a breeze. The one I was worried about was Kuhitho hearing. With me shutting down Asuta earlier, I might have just saved her.
With Kuhitho hearing partly back and the speech fully intact, Fourth had to shutdown Asuta. The thing with Kuhitho hearing is, whatever someone says, he can manipulate what the individual hears. This is just like Kuhitho speech, it ulters the words that come out of the persons mouth. These two paired together become a problem.
The hearing part of Kuhitho grew restless, neither "it" or Fourth drawing the first move.
Are we going to get started? Kuhitho hearing groans in frustration, itching for a fight.
I've been waiting for you to say that.
Fourth though acting confident in his abilities, he was not prepared to fight the hearing.
My original plan to use that one spell is out of the question as of now. My main focus has to be Kuhitho hearing. But what spell do I use?
While Fourth and Kuhitho were about to behin, Asuta, had snapped out of her little trance and began to come at Fourth with vengeance.
Who the hell does he think he is talking to me like that!?" I'll show him.
Asuta's anger had surpassed her fear of Kuhitho, she stomped towards Fourth, shouting. "Whats the big idea!?"
Fourth jerks his body around and gives Asuta this menacing look.
She cant be serious at a time like this. Is she stupid? It's going to make its first
attack and it wont be on me.
Kuhitho's hearing saw its first chance to strike.
Ahh I see, if it isnt the girl. She was so quiet I barely remembered she was here.
Little to Asuta's knowledge her abrupt yelling at Fourth would almost cost her, her life. I need to think, if she yells another word Kuhitho hearing will just force her words back on her. Wait, thats it. Its so simple, how did I not realize it. Im so stupid.
Before Kuhitho hearing could manipulate Asutas into hearing what "it" wanted her to, Fourth, yelled at the top of his lungs, his voice masking Asuta's.
"Keep talking!Yell at me more! Come on Asuta, Yell!"
"Oh I'm gonna do more than just yell!" She treads heavily, getting closer to Fourth with each step.
Fourth taken in the consideration of Kuhitho hearing, knew exactly what he had to do, to stop Asuta from speaking. As mentioned earlier the thing with Kuhitho hearing is it manipulates what others can hear, twisting these words and voices. And thats exactly what Kuhitho was doing.
Thats it, just one last go and its finished.
"Scream at me Asuta! Do it now!" Its ready.
Kuhitho hearing had changed what Asuta was actually hearing, rather than doing what Fourth was telling her to. She did the opposite. Asuta had stopped talking all together and became silent.
Phew it worked, I'll have to explain this mess to her later... here's to hoping shes not too angry. Now that I remember more about how the Kuhitho hearing operates, I think I have an idea how to kill it.
Ahh so he caught on, smart one he is, he'll be a fun challenger. "I die tired of waiting. " Kuhitho patience is now at zero, the fight is just getting started.
I can hear it speaking, why is that? I couldn't hear the other. Something else isnt right, I cant speak. Could that have been a result of Fourth?
She tries to form the words to come out of her mouth, but her voice fails her. She stands there helpess, as Fourth gets ready to face off against Kuhitho hearing.
"If thats the case, maybe I should just drag this on?"
Kuhitho growls viciously, bears his teeth, and foam starts to drip from his mouth. All Fourth and Asuta could see at this time was Kuhitho rushing straight for Fourth and Asuta.
"I cant wait any longer! "
Fourth, move out of the way! Its coming!
She desperately tries to get Fourth's attention, screaming and yelling till her throat starts to hurt, but Fourth hears nothing.
Before Fourth could react quick enough, Kuhitho stood in front of him, taking its arm vigorously striking Fourth,knocking him back. Fourth stumbles back a few feet, landing right in front of Asuta.
"That really hurt, you damn bastard."
Fourth painfully gets up, holding onto his side, he lifts up his shirt. Ahh its bruised, what a pain.
Fourth then shuffles towards Kuhitho, he clenches his left side where a bruise has already surfaced.
"Back for more?!" Kuhitho gives out a sinster laugh, clapping his hands; As
Fourth still drags himself closer to Kuhitho, as he refuses to acknowledge Kuhitho.
"Youre already injured from just one lously hit, I dont get how Kuhitho Sight could have been defeated so easily by you. Just look at yourself."
Kuitho goes into give Fourth his last final blow.
"This is it! You're finished! "
Rushing straight in, the pure chaos and Kuhitho overconfidence blinded him. In just a mere few secinds Kuhitho goes flying to the back of the corridor, its body smacking against the wall, making a loud cracking noise,as it slumps down to the floor.
How did that happen?!
Kuhitho lay against the wall unable to move, his body had made a huge impact against the wall, leaving his ribs broken.
"What did you do?" He utters the words as he spits out blood.
"I called upon my sword, 'Ardor' its infused with my 'emotion magic: Hostile intent.' Any physical attacks that come at me, it blocks. "
Kuitho coughs up more blood, he attempts to catch the blood, by covering his mouth, but misses; and
"When did you do that? It was so quick that I didnt even notice it." Says Kuhitho's hearing
"Just before you came at me. I wanted to get closer to you, make you believe that I was weak and you won. Plus I was itching to see the look on that hideous face of yours, as Ardor slammed you into the wall. It was a sight to see!" Fourth is now the one with the malicious sounding laugh.
"You see Kuhitho, I come from a long line of 'Blood Guardians'. It has been a long time since I needed to use Ardor, today felt fitting. Wouldn't you agree?" His voice along side his demeanor was completely vicious. Fourth was enjoying every possible moment.
"Blood Guardian?! Those... no ones seen one in eighth years! Who are you?"
Right as Fourth was about to respond to Kuhitho, Kuhitho's speech awoken back up.
"You've grown weak."
