Chapter 37:

A long sword.

Yui


“Did you find something?” Nakata tried to find his way in the darkness, he was not sure where Yui or himself was on the big surface.

“Not yet” Yui’s voice was pretty close to Nakata’s ear “what about you?”

“It was easier if it was daytime” Nakata complained a little, the only thing he could see was the starry sky, it seemed like this place didn’t have light pollution at all.

“Ouch!” Yui fell to the floor after he collided with something made from cold metal.

“What is it?” Nakata looked for Yui’s place using his hands.

“It’s something metal” Yui stood up, ignoring the pain in his head, he touched the object all over to search what it was.

“I feel a handle, I think it’s a door” Yui tried to open the door unsuccessfully “it’s locked.”

“Maybe it’s some kind of storage?” Nakata finally found it too.

“There is only one way to find” Yui commended Nakata “break it!”

Nakata punched the door strongly and made a hole in it, he threaded his hand through the hole and ripped the door out of its place.

People ran for their life when they saw the door was open, it didn't matter what age every one of them was, they ran as quickly as they could back to the station wanting to catch their train and return home safely.

“Oh my” Merry pulled out a long sword “I thought we had luck today with catching humans, I think with the way you two look like we will lose nothing, mind if I check little flaws on your skin?”

“Nakata, until the day I will be able to look at peoples you promised me to protect me” Yui hated this promise but he knew that for now Nakata’s power level is further bigger than Yui’s, he had to use it.

“Yes king Yui” Nakata saluted in mockery.

Merry ran with her sword and jumped high to surprise Nakata.

“Pretty impressive for a fat lady” Nakata stopped her sword using his hand, he couldn’t feel pain with this body so it was not a difficult task.

“Oh my” she looked at Nakata “it will be a nice fight so I will save it for the end, wait for me please.”

The sword slipped from Nakata’s hand and Merry ran into Yui’s direction.

Yui closed his eyes, he knew there are two options, to be killed or to be safe, if Aku is safe both of the options are expectable.

Nakata didn’t expect Merry to run like that so he didn’t run there too to protect Yui, he was not ready and it was too quick.

White blood started to drip on Yui’s black hair.

“Haha idiot!” Fuyuki stopped the sword, it got stuck in his hand “your sword can enter through my skin but my blades can’t enter through your suit, I get it now!”

Instead of trying to pull it out, Fuyuki held the sword strongly so it would stay in his hands. It was like a game, both Merry and Fuyuki wanted the sword so they pulled the sword each on to his side. Nakata joined Fuyuki's side, he stood behind Merry and tried to disconnect her fingers from the handle.

“You annoying being” Merry said in rage, she headbutted Nakata strongly making him fall on the crispy leaves lightened from the little light that comes from the human storage room.

“Hey idiotic Nakata! wake up! I will kill you if you will lose this body” Fuyuki said loudly, he started to feel the pain from the sword stuck in his hands.

“Working on it” Nakata stood up and ran there once again, he expected Merry to react in the same way as she did before, he got a plan.

“You never learn?” Merry gave the same powerful headbut but this time she didn’t felt a body behind her.

Nakata jumped in an impossible height in a split ducking Merry’s attack.

“It is not human…” Merry looked at him in shock “you are not human…”

Fuyuki took advantage of the moment and pulled the sword to himself, this time successfully.

“Oh my!” Merry shouted in fear “not good! not good at all!”

“Now” Fuyuki walked slowly, he tilted his head, on of his eyes was open wider than the other “I want to feel your dumb blood on my face.”

He raised the sword, its tip was full of white blood. In one big cut exactly in the middle of her body, Merry was cut in two pieces falling slowly to the ground.

“Is it over?” Yui looked at the whole fight from the side, he didn’t like watching things like that, stains and blood are too disgusting, they ruin perfection.

When the two pieces of Merry finally landed on the floor something was revealed under the big amount of fat and the protection suit, a short and thin woman wearing a black jumpsuit appeared.

“Is it like a game?” Nakata didn’t lowered his protection yet “we won the boss and now it’s the final phase?”

“What? a final phase?” the woman waved her hands, she was not up for a fight “you just broke a curse two gods put on us.”

“Curses, gods, my life sounds so silly…” Yui closed his eyes and said to himself.

“The former god of future and former god of creation” Merry said, she hoped the two gods wouldn't hear her from them.

“What did you say?” Fuyuki put his finger blade on Merry’s neck “my siblings might be a bunch of idiots but they never hurt someone without reason!”

“I know the reason” Yui approached there too “the whole thing with me falling, the whole thing with kidnapping, everything was previously prepared. I’m sorry you had to suffer in a test made for me.”

“Can I get some of your idiotic blood after all?” Fuyuki did his cutest face, if she was cursed by his siblings she probably has good blood Fuyuki thought to himself.

“Do I have any options?” Merry raised her hands and started to sweat aggressively.

“If you don’t care to be sent to a better place” Fuyuki said sweetly while pointing at her heart with another finger blade.

“Fuyuki behave” Nakata said, he wanted Fuyuki to leave this poor woman as fast as possible.

“Let’s pick up Aku and Eda and get out of this place” Yui said and entered the room.

Both Aku and Eda were asleep, Nakata took them both on his back and the quintet were ready to go.

Just before they left a big scream could be heard from behind a wooden door in one side of the room, they couldn't leave before they checked the source of the scream, they can’t just leave it to be.
