Chapter 2 - Sea of Trees

"Kaito‚ you have to run! Take your sister and survive!" Kaito mother says. "Mother.. mother.." Kaito mumbles. "Brother..kaito! Brother!" Kaito wakes up as he was sleeping they were in middle of a forest called sea of trees. "We are being surrounded by serval demons!." Says noboru‚ Kaito looks around. "10..15..27?!" Noboru is already shaking with his sword in his hands while hakari ready to fight as much as she can with her fists. Kaito pulls out his sword. "They're a lot of them..how can we beat all of them at once." Kaito looks worried. "Think of some way..think.." Kaito thinks to himself. "Listen‚ make a run for it!" They all starts running since Kaito is hurt and in no form to fight at all‚ Hakari and Noboru follows behind him running through demons slashing and avoiding.

"Noboru!" Kaito shouts as one of the female demon jump on top of Noboru. "Hottie!" Noboru has quite the liking for girls. "What are you doing Noboru! Kill that demon!" Kaito shouts to. "Stone..incomplete form!" Noboru says as he slash his sword into the demon stomach turning it's body into serval pieces of rock" Noboru starts running again. "That was scary!!"

"Keep running hakari and noboru‚ we have to somehow lose these demons!" They all keep running but the demons behind them doesn't seem to stop. "It's useless running away like this." Kaito says before looking over at Noboru. "Noboru-san can you fight?!" Noboru looks over at kaito while running. "I mean..yeah i can! A little." Kaito stops on his tracks "Protect hakari ill try to fight them off!" Noboru seems confused and concerned. "But you're still injured and your wounds might open up"

"Doesn't matter!" Kaito dashes towards the bundle of demons running towards them while Noboru stands in front of hakari with sword in his hands ready to protect hakari.

Kaito moves his sword fastly cutting through the demons chest. Just then a female demon extand her hairs grabbing Kaito from his arm and throw him into a tree. "Gah! That hurts." Kaito wound on his forehead opens up. "Kaito-kun.." Noboru says concerned‚ two of the demons runs towards Noboru and hakari. "Ah..what should i do‚ i can't fight at all..but i have to protect hakari-chan" Without thinking Noboru moves his sword through the demons. "Stone incomplete form!" The demons turns into pieces of stone and falls dead on ground.

Kaito slowly regain his composure and holds his sword tightly before dashing towards the demon‚ the demon extand her hairs again but this times Kaito dodges and cuts through it's hairs. "Not yet...i have to adapt!" Kaito lands a slash on the demon's stomach just barely missing the core on it's chest. "Missed.." The demon quickly heals it's organ under two seconds.The demon moves it's hairs through air towards Kaito landing a hit on his right arm. "Gah!" Kaito grabs the hairs with his hand and throws the demon into serval trees in tornado style. "Hah good one Kaito‚ let's run now!" Noboru says as he takes hakari hand in his and starts running away from the demons while Kaito follows behind them. They run through the demons dodging and cutting‚ just when they feel a high majutsu pressure causing all the demons to stop dead in their tracks‚ Kaito‚ Noboru and hakari also stops in their track‚ their faces turning pale. "This pressure..it's to powerful to even stay conscious.." Noboru says.

"That's too..much who even is it coming from..a demon?" Kaito adds.

"Brother.. who's that.." Hakari points at someone walking towards them looking like a tall figure. "Noboru protect hakari!" Kaito stands in front of them with his sword held tightly in his shaking hands. "Who are you?!" Just as Kaito says that the demon seem to move too fast for Kaito to notice and now the male-demon standing right in front of Kaito. "Young people‚ are you lost?" The demon says without any move to hurt them yet. Kaito takes two steps back. "So fast..i couldn't tell he moved at all" Kaito thinks to himself. Noboru who's standing in front of hakari‚ his face goes pale. "T-that's one of the bloodfang Pentad! One of strongest demon!" Kaito takes in Noboru words and suddenly moving his sword towards the demon. "Fire slash!" Kaito coats his sword into fire and aim towards the demon's chest‚ just as the tip of sword touched the demon's chest it broke into pieces. "W-w-what my sword.." Kaito can't believe his eyes‚ even with his fire majutsu his sword broke into pieces with just a touch. "Oh i see you're not strong at all..but you got something interesting back there. The demon looks over at hakari behind Noboru feeling her strange majutsu. Noboru holds his sword tightly already about to piss his pant. "Just when we were about to reach slayers village.."

"My name is Ren and you must be Kaito." Ren the demon says to Kaito‚ Kaito's expression turns confused. "How do you know my name." Ren laughs "I know everything about you."

"Anyway i will do my job that I'm here to do so‚ i will be taking hakari don't get in my way or ill kill you."

Noboru raises his sword despite shaking. "Stone incomplete form!" Noboru moves his sword towards Ren neck‚ Ren blocks his sword the stone majutsu not working on him at all. "Stone form? Interesting but it seems you didn't mastered it yet. Such good majutsu wasted on you." The demon place his hand on Noboru chest suddenly spreading poison through his body causing him to fall down on ground. "He will die in a hour‚ now i should take hakari." Kaito stands in front of hakari trying to protect her. "I don't care if you broke my sword‚ I still have my hands!"

Ren laughs. "Such determination‚ i like it but you're far too weak." Suddenly Kaito screams and jabs his fist towards Ren barely moving him with his punch and lands an uppercut stunning Ren for a second‚ Kaito takes advantage of the moment and quickly carry up Noboru and starts running as fast as he can. "Hakari run!"

Ren the next seconds appear in front of Kaito and throws a backhand slap on his face sending him flying in trees after trees. "Brother!" Hakari starts getting worried and angry by the time. "No hakari control yourself‚ you can't let that power take over you." Kaito says because he don't want hakari to turn into that monster again.

Ren stands in front of Kaito and Noboru who are laying on ground with Kaito bleeding all his wounds opened up and Noboru laying unconscious because of the strange poison. Kaito looks up at Ren standing over them his black and red hairs flowing with the air. "I guess i will have to finish you before i take hakari away." The demon lift his hand growing his nails before moving them at Kaito face. "Brother!" Hakari screams. Just when Ren's nails were about to touch Kaito face a figured appears and servers Ren arms and kick him back. Ren slams into a tree causing the tree to break down. "I didn't thought you would make it here so fast‚ damn Kazuki!" Ren says towards the toned guy (Kazuki) who just served his arm in one strike. "W-who are you?" Kaito looks confused looking up at the guy.

"I'm a soul slayer from the soul village‚ sorry it took me long to come here but nothing to worry anymore‚ you're safe!" Kazuki says with a smile taking in Kaito bleeding‚ Noboru unconscious form‚ hakari runs up to Kaito and hugs him. "Bother you're alright?! I thought i almost lost you." Hakari cries softly in Kaito shoulder. "I guess I'm alright.." Kaito said.

"Kid now observe how you fight a bloodfang!" Kazuki says as he dashes towards Ren with his long red sword making a small sonic boom. "Blade of destruction first form‚ Cataclysm Edge!" Kazuki says the attack name aiming it towards Ren. "Ahh!" Kazuki lands the attack as Kaito observe the attack making uncountable destruction almost half of the forest gone in just one strike. "How..what is that power‚ is something like that even possible." Kaito thinks to himself.

Meanwhile Ren walks out from the smoke half his body from right side gone but his core intact even after taking the strike head on‚ his body heals in few seconds. "I guess i will retreat this time..more of you've come. Kaito!" Ren shouts "I will come back again to kill you and i will take that girl with me! You hear me!?" With this Ren a red portal opens as Ren steps into it with a smirk and the portal soon closes.

"Well damn luck i guess i manage to scare him away this time." Kazuki says and turns to look back at three of them. "Alright let's get you three to Slayers village and get you patched up." Kazuki Carry's Noboru on his back who's still unconscious from the poison‚ hakari and Kaito follows behind Kazuki with hakari supporting Kaito with her arm.

"I would say you three are lucky and unlucky that you ran in one of strongest bloodfang but i happen to pass by‚ also am one of the soul slayers." Kazuki says.

"Wait you're the one of soul slayers Noboru was talking about?" Kaito asks. "Well that should be me but there are many more soul slayers in the Slayers village!"

After 20 minutes

Finally the forest seem to end as Kazuki‚ Noboru who's drooling on Kazuki shoulder‚ Kaito and hakari reaches the village. "So.. beautiful." Kaito says as he sees the large village glowing with lights in the night‚ some people still out from their houses looks at them suspicious of the new comers (Kaito‚ Hakari and Noboru) and few kids waves at Kazuki. "It's so lively" Hakari says as she looks around at the people carrying baskets‚ many shops‚ merchants and other workers.

"We might finally live a better life..me and Hakari" Kaito thinks before fainting away falling on ground unconscious. "Oye kid!" Kazuki shouts before walking up to check up on him.

Next morning Kaito wakes up to see an old woman licking his arm. "WHATTT!!!"
