Chapter 4:

The meeting

heaven's hell


"Were you able to get him?"

A women who is sitting at the roof of a 7 story house, looking at the night sky which shines bright with a full moon asks the devil's representative who tried to ambush Kakoroshi few minutes ago.

"I was close but that leader of the weather household, Kia, was with him. He himself is very agile and fast and alread-"

"I don't need excuses, I need that guy, the blood representative"

"I will definitely not failed next time"

"You will be dead if you don't succeed the next time"

The women stands up, turning 180 degree as she directly looks at him, it makes him stumble as he starts to sweat.

"Mom, are you there? Its almost 11 PM, I am hungry"

"I am coming in a bit"

The women says in a rather pleasant voice.

"Leave before my son sees you"

"I will definitely get him next time"

the man takes his leave, as he is still sweating, knowing well that he can be dead in a few days if he fails again.

The women's name is Haruna, she is also a devil's representative. She is a single mother, loosing her husband in a terrible turn of events.

"It's not an actual date"

Says Toshiro as he is looking at Kakoroshii wearing the same red suit again and again, trying to make it fit perfectly.

"Its the same red suit. No matter how many times you wear it, it will stay the same size."

Toshiro is frustrated as Kakoroshi has occupied the mirror for past 30 min. The house is a 3 bedroom house, making Toshiro share his room with Kakoroshi.

"This suit came in this morning right? He is looking really cute in this outfit"

Mio comes inside Toshiro's room as she is doing laundry. Mio is like a mother in this house as she takes care of everyone and everything. The words said by Mio gives some confidence to Kakoroshi.

"here, use this perfume."

Says Mio as she takes out a perfume from her back pocket.

"Why do you have a perfume with you while you are doing the laundry?"

Asks Toshiro.

"None of your concern"


"Thanks Mio"

Says Kakoroshi as he uses the perfume.

'DING DONG'

The doorbell rings as he rushes to the door to open it. Kia is standing outside the door, looking different from her usual look, her hair is tied as she is wearing glasses. She is in a purple suit with a black pant. He looks confused as he refuses to believe that she is the same Kia from yesterday night.

"I guess I have to introduce myself again. I am Fumino."

"But didn't you say you were Kia?"

"I'll explain everything on the way"

 as she points towards the sedan with her thumb.

Kakoroshi sits in the back seat of the sedan without asking any question. Fumino sits with him in the back seat as well as the sedan starts to move.

"Kia is a spirit who uses the power granted to me for the brutal work. I let her takeover when the time is right or when I need to take some rest."

"Let her?"

Kakoroshi looks at her. She is a complete opposite of Kia, as her voice is soft and looks really formal.

"If I take my glasses of with my left hand or it is forced off from my eyes. Kia takes over"

"Why can't you do the brutal work?"

"I am hemophobic." (fear of blood)

As Kakoroshii hears this, he gets flashback of last night and how much blood was spilled.


After a one hour ride, they reach an empty field.

"It looks like we are the first one here"

Fumino looks around. She sees 2 men walking towards her. One is in a yellow suit and the other is in violet.

"You should be the first one to arrive"

Says Fumino to the guy in the yellow suit.

"I know but then I met him on the way and we decided to grab a morning drink"

"Anyways. Kakoroshi, the one in the yellow suit is Ishigami, the leader of the household of creation and the one in violet is the leader of the fire household, Kento"

"So this is the guy who got assigned to the blood household"

says Kento.

"Yeah, it was really sudden for me"

Says Kakoroshi as he is little bit troubled with the tone Kento speaks. Ishigami is 5'10 as he has a lean body with a sharp jawline and hairs which are parted to the right. Kento is 6 feet tall with a muscular body with a sharp cut in his left eyebrow and hairs which are in a mess.

"You are lucky, aren't you? A weakling like you just got selected as a representative and now is a leader of a household who is getting to sit in the level as us, without any hard work. My-my, you have to be the weakest leader in the history of leaders"

Says Kento carelessly.

"I would like you to apologize"

Says Fumino as she is not happy with the words said by Kento.

"I will definitely not"

"You see, I don't like arguing so either you apologize or Kia does the argument for me"

Says Fumino with a pleasant voice as she slowly reaches for her glasses with her left hand.

"Damn you! 

I am sorry"

Kento apologizes to Kakoroshi.

Fumino eventually adjusts her glasses with her left hand.

"If only you didn't had kia as a spirit inside you"

"She practices my powers, not like she has powers of her own and besides I can still beat you without making you bleed"

Says Fumino with a sharp tone.

"I am creating the monastery so stand back"

Says Ishigami before things gets worse. As he slams his hand at the ground, a huge monastery rises up out of nowhere.

"Man, it really hurts my head to do this every 3 months."

Ishigami stumbles for a few seconds.


They go inside the monastery.

Inside the monastery, there are carvings of gods on the wall of the respective households. Kakoroshi is amazed with the amount of detailing inside the monastery and how beautiful it looks from the outside. There are total of 9 seats in the monastery, 6 seats are placed in a semi circle around a circular desk which faces the rest 3 seats which are in a line, slightly elevated then the seats which are around the desk. The monastery is enlightened with torches by Kento. As they take a seat, they rest of the leaders and the elders arrive.

One old man and two old women are the elders sitting in the elevated seats.

"start the proceedings"

says the old man. As soon as the words escapes his mouth, the women in a blue suit stands up as she rests her hand on the desk which fills the desk with water up to 5 inches, she is the leader of the water household.

After a few seconds, the shape of the water changes which resembles the Tokyo city, tiny whirlpools starts to form at random places.

"These are the places where inhumane beings appeared in the last 3 months. The total casualties are 67 with 89 inhumane beings successfully killed."

"My household killed a total of 39 inhumane beings in the period of 3 months. Most among the households."

says the man in a silver suit, the leader of the wind household. 

"It is settled then, the better portion of the revenue will be given to the wind household."

The old man turns his eyes to Kakoroshi who looks troubled.

"you there, young men. Why you look troubled?"

The male elder questions Kakoroshi who is actually troubled by the water on the desk which is on the edge but not overflowing.

"oh, well, I am Kakoroshi, leader of the blood household"

"Aahhh, the new leader of the blood household. Its really nice to see all 6 of the seats filled with representatives"

the old man looks at Kakoroshi with a look of relief in his eyes.

"Did any of you get any information on the five demons?"

Asks the one of the old women.

"They will be meeting at somewhere at yokohoma at the end of September"

Says Fumino with certainty.

"who relayed this information to you?"

Asks the other old women.

"I have my ways of getting information"

"very well then, at the end of august, the leaders will travel to Yokohoma to take down atleast one of the 5 demons from the devil's representatives. This meeting is dismissed."

Says the old man. As soon as the meeting is dismissed, Fumino gets a call.

"I am really sorry Kakoroshi but you have to go home without me"

"Its fine"

Kakoroshi doesn't have any way to go home except on foot.

"He has sure grown a lot"

The old man mumbles

******

Fumino arrives at the top of a hill.

A man is standing there with a mask on.

"I have information on the leader of the 5 demons"

She hears what the man has to say with attention as she looks around knowing well that something is off.

"well, I will be taking my leave, I think you have noticed it already."

"I will take care of it"

Says Fumino as the man was followed to the hill. Fumino takes her glasses off with her left hand, letting Kia take over. As soon as the man leaves, Kia uses the art, 'Acid rain', as the rain starts downpouring in a small area. Screams can be heard of the people who followed the man, hiding in the bushes.
