Chapter 43
Malicious Power
At the same time Kaito is sleeping on the floor of his office as he gets up and *yawns* he notices it's still pitch black outside and he holds his head as he says
“My head is still killing me, but I need to go back home. Akemi is going to kill me, but hopefully I don’t wake Emi up again” Kaito walks out of his office but as he does he looks up and sees the sky and he thinks
“The stars are very beautiful tonight, maybe I can distract her with them so she isn’t so mad” Kaito walks home and as Kaito gets the front of his house he notices his front door is cracked open and he thinks
“Why is the door cracked? Did I leave it cracked?” Kaito peaks through the crack in the door and doesn’t see anything but as he steps in the house he sees blood on the floor leading upstairs and he’s *shocked* and thinks
"Is that!? No, she dropped something" Kaito rushes upstairs but as he sees the trail leading to his bedroom, he is *scared* and says
“No...NO!" He rushes into the room but as he sees Akemi and Emi on the ground in a pool of blood, he screams
“NO!” He falls to his knees *crying* as he’s holding Akemi’s and Emi's body and he sees holes in both if there stomachs and he says
"Please, Akemi not like this! Emi, I'm sorry!" As he's crying, Akemi *coughs up blood* as she says
“Ka-Kaito, I’m sorry…I couldn’t protect Emi'' Kaito *through his tears* says
"I'm sorry, I should have been here. I'm sorry!" Akemi slowly lifts her hand and wipes his eyes as she *weakly* says
"It's not your fault...You warned me, but I didn't listen" Kaito wipes his eyes as he says
“What happened!? Who did this!?” Akemi *weakly* says
“B-Behind–” Suddenly Her head falls lifelessly but before Kaito can turn around two golden fingers touch his neck and his body *surges with pain* and he drops Akemi and Emi as he falls onto the ground and starts *painfully convulsing* on the ground and as he looks up he sees Kei step out of the shadows and they lock eyes but Kaito *through the pain he's feeling* says
“I’ll…Kill you! I’LL KILL YOU!” Kei looks away from Kaito as he opens his hand and the golden light flows through Kaito even faster causing Kaito to *screams even louder in pain* and as the light starts to slow down and dim, and as it disappears he stops convulsing and passes out and Kei looks down at him and thinks
"This pain you feel, I know it well. When our father died and you turned your back on me to help Kingsman, that pain was indescribable. And watching as you defended him and put your life on the life for him has only made it worse. We share this pain, but it doesn't need to destroy us. You can join me, we can fix everything and become what we once were. We can mold this pain into something better, we are family! We are all we have in this world" Kaito body starts twitching as he sits up and Kaito gets to his feet and Kei says
“My lord?” Kaito looks at Kei as he opens his eyes and Kei sees there's a golden glow in them and Haruto’s voice comes through Kaito as he says
“I can feel why you had such trouble beating this one, his body is very strong” Kaito suddenly lunges towards Kei but he catches his hand and says
“Even while I control his mind, his body still struggles against me. I’ll have to do this quickly, I should have been his direct mind control link as you do not know or understand how it works. I'm going to fight Kingsman, and with him occupied that leaves her wide open" Kei says
"My lord, I don't know where she-" Kaito presses two fingers against Kei's head and he's able to see Akita sitting over the water fall looking down into the water as Kaito takes his hand away Kei is *shocked* and says
"How did you do that!?" Kaito *chuckles* and says
"Clairvoyance, all of us have it. And when you join us, lord Jushiro will bless you with it as well. You know where she is, now do what needs to be done" Kaito opens a portal and steps through it and as it closes behind him, Kei thinks
"But...She's never done anything, she's always been so kind to everyone. As was Akemi, and Emi was just an innocent child...What have I-" Suddenly the golden dragon reappears around his neck and extends down his body as he says
"But she is in the way of everything that needs to happen, her and all of the rest of those rats who dared infested my fathers rightful region! My father would never approve of Akemi, she was only clouding Kaito's mind. We all need to focus"
At the same time Kingsman is walking down the hill and he thinks
"I thought she viewed me differently, but she was always scared of the things she’s heard about me. Maybe I’m destined for a life of solace, maybe I shouldn't have pulled her as close too me-” Suddenly a portal opens up at the bottom of the hill and Kingsman is *surprised* as he sees Kaito step through the portal and starts walking towards Kingsman as Kingsman says
“Kaito, I was looking–” But Kaito punches Kingsman in the face launching Kingsman through multiple trees and slamming into the ground and Kingsman gets to his feet and is *shocked* as he says
“What the hell are you doing!?” But Kaito doesn’t respond and he rushes Kingsman and tries to hit him but Kingsman dodges his strikes and catches both of his wrist and Kaito tries to pull his arms away but he can’t and Kingsman looks into Kaito’s eyes and notices there golden glow and Kingsman says
“Kaito, what the hell has gotten into you!? What happened to your eyes!?” Possessed Kaito says
“So this is the strength that my underlings fear so much” Kingsamn is *shocked* as he hears Haruto’s voice coming through Kaito and Kingsman says
“Who are you!? How did you get in my brother’s body!?” Possessed Kaito says
“Unfortunately, I don’t feel like wasting my time with you. So I’ll make this as short as I possibly can, I’m here to kill you” Kingsman says
“Kaito I know you're stronger than this, you have to fight him!” Possessed Kaito *laughs* and says
“You think you can talk him out of my mind control, I’m starting to believe you we’re overly praised for your mind and dangerous intellect” Kaito tries to pull his hands away but Kingsman isn’t letting go of him and there struggle destroys the ground underneath them as Kingsman says
“You don’t understand the man your truly controlling, the kind of dangerous power your dealing with” Possessed Kaito *smiles* and says
“I can feel his strength, I perfectly understand how strong he is now. But after I fully have him under my control, I’m going to get you as well” Kingsman thinks
“I can use my darkness to sever his control over Kaito, but there’s no telling how much damage I could do to Kaito’s mind in doing so. Mentally he’s one of the strongest men I ever knew, it would be almost impossible to control his mind normally…Unless–” Kingsman gets *angry* as he screams
“WHAT DID YOU DO!?" Kingsman throws Kaito’s arms to the sides and punches Kaito directly in the stomach launching him back and Kaito lands hard on the ground and Kingsman walks up to him as Kaito slowly gets to his feet and Possesed Kaito is *shocked* and thinks
“With this juvenile mind control I could actually feel some of the force behind that strike” Kingsman says
“I'm going to ask you one more time! What did you do to him!?” Possessed Kaito *smiles* and says
“I didn’t do anything” Kingsman says
“Tell me what you did or I promise I’ll kill you!” Possessed Kaito says
“But how far will you go to get your brother back” A dome of darkness starts raising up around them and as it closes they lock eyes and Kingsman darkness surges around him as he says
"Come find out!"
At the same time Akita is sitting on the edge of the cliff and she looks at the rock with her and Kingsman initials carved into it and thinks
“He wouldn’t…But I don’t understand where Tadashi could have gone if he was that badly injured” As Akita's thinking she hears a noise behind her and she turns around but she's *shocked* as she sees Kei standing on the path and she stands up and says
“K-Kei!? What are you doing here?” Kei says
“Akita, you must pay for the crimes your husband has committed” Akita is *shocked* and she backs up but she notices she’s on the edge of the cliff as Kei starts slowly walking towards her and she runs towards the treeline but Kei appears in front of her and she falls backwards as she starts crawling back and she gets back to her feet and turns around and tries to run but Kei appears in front of her again and she steps back and says
“Please, stay away from me!” Kei raises his hand and tries to hit her but she ducks it and Kei is *shocked* and Akita tries to run but Kei reappears in front of her and she throws a punch at him but he catches it and he holds her wrist and she tries to punch him with her other fist but he catches it and she stomps his foot but he knees her in the stomach making her fall back as she's holding her *stomach in pain* and thinks
"I think...He might have broken a rib. I have to get away" She holds her stomach as she tries to stand up but Kei grabs her by her hair and lifts her into the air as he says

"Blame the man you love for your fate"
At the same time Kaito punches Kingsman into the stomach launching him back to the wall of the dome and Kaito rushes Kingsman and tries to hit him but Kingsman dodges the punch and Kaito’s fist bounces off of the dome and Kingsman knees him in the stomach and grabs him by his throat and he turns around slamming Kaito into the dome and Kingsman jumps back and says
“Your right, I cannot bring myself to harm my brother on the caliber necessary to break your control over him. But I know he can!” Kaito rushes Kingsman and throws a punch but Kingsman doesn’t move as he says
“Fight it!” Kaito’s punch stops inches before it lands as Kingsman says
“I know you're in there Kaito, I need you to fight it! I won’t hurt anymore people I care about, Kaito fight it!” Kaito takes a step back and *clutches his head in pain* and Kingsman reaches for him but Kaito uppercuts Kingsman and grabs him by the neck and slams him into the ground and he starts choking Kingsman but as he’s choking Kingsman, Kingsman says
“I know you Kaito…I know how strong you really are. FIGHT IT!” Possessed Kaito *laughs* as he says
“Your pleading falls on deaf ears, he is gone and I am all that remains” Possessed Kaito’s starts *laughing even louder* but his right hand suddenly starts shaking as it erupts into his Icy Sun Flames and Possessed Kaito is *shocked* and says
“What is this!?” Kaito’s right hand moves away from Kingsman neck and grabs his left hand off of Kingsman’s neck and he stumbles back as Kingsman gets back to his feet and says
“I know you can do it, you’re strong than this–” But Kaito punches Kingsman in the stomach launching him back dropping Kingsman to one knee as he looks up he sees Kaito’s Icy Sun Flames are gone as Kaito rushes up and knees him in the face making Kingsman fall onto his back and he puts his foot on Kingsman throat as Kingsman says
“I won’t kill you brother, because I know you won’t kill me. I won’t hit you because I know you wouldn’t hit me” Kaito’s leg starts to shake as it erupts into his Icy Sun Flames and Possessed Kaito says
“No! How is this possible?” Kaito’s leg lifts off of Kingsman throat but as it does Kingsman kicks out Kaito’s other leg, making him fall and Kingsman gets back to his feet and so does Kaito and Kaito rushes Kingsman and tries to punch him but Kingsman catches both of his hands and they start pushing each other back and the ground and the dome starts to crack until Kingsman pulls Kaito towards him and sweeps Kaito’s legs and throws him against the dome wall and he rushes up to him and pushes his forearm onto Kaito’s throat pinning him to the wall and says
“I know you better than anyone, so listen to me when I say you can beat them! You’ve never allowed anyone to break your mind, so don’t you dare allow them to be the first!” Kaito starts to twitch as he says
“Kings…Man!” Kingsman is *shocked* says
“Kaito!” But Kaito headbutts Kingsman and he knees him in the stomach suddenly his hand covers in Icy Sun Flames and punches Kingsman in the face sending him crashing into the wall of the dome but as Kingsman falls on the ground he doesn’t move
At the same time Akita grabs his wrist and kicks him in the chest as Kei lifts his hand and says
"Stay still!" But Akita starts whistling causing Kei passes out but he’s still holding her hair and she pulls away from him ripping some of her hair out as Akita falls to the ground and she gets back to her feet holding her *stomach in pain* and she starts walking away but as she's whistling she spits up blood but as she looks back Kei grabs her by the mouth and says
“Why do you continue to try and escape knowing your not strong or fast enough?” Akita bites his hand and punches him in the face and he slightly slides back dropping her and he is *shocked* by the power of her punch and Akita says
“I have to escape, I have people who I have to protect” Akita lifts her hands ready to fight and Kei notices she's taken a similar stance to Kingsman says
“He's truly infested every part of you, so I'll kill you just the same" Kei tries to punch her but she's able to dodge it and hit Kei in the stomach and across the face and Kei gets *angry* and says
"How dare you!" Kei starts swinging towards her very fast and she's able to dodge all of his strikes and starts countering all of his strikes until he catches her fist and punches her in the stomach sending her flying back and landing on the edge of the cliff as she looks off of the cliff she sees the water below and she tries to crawl off but Kei stomps on her leg breaking it and she holds in her *scream of pain* and Kei walks up and grabs her by her hair pulling her up as he says
“If he’s still alive, call him. Bring me your savior!” Kei grabs her hand and breaks one of her finger but she covers her mouth to hold in her scream and he says
“You still protect him, even in your final moments” Kei crushes her entire hand and he moves her other hand away from her mouth but she still is able to hold in her screams and she starts crying still in silence and Kei says
“You would have been a fine warrior, you simply loved the wrong man” Akita says
"I'd never love someone like you, Kingsman is a hundred times the man you could ever dream of being" Kei says
"If he is such a better man then, why is he allowing his wife to die? Where is he!" Kei punches her through her back and she spits up blood as Kei steps closer to the edge and Kei says
“Let's see if your perfect man will catch you” Kei drops her off the edge of the cliff and Kei walks away
At the same time Kingsman slowly stands up and puts his arms behind his back and says
“I won’t hurt you brother” Kaito rushes Kingsman but Kingsman faintly hears Akita voice say
“Kingsman…I’m sorry” Kingsman is *surprised* and says
“Akita! No!” As Kaito gets close Kingsman's eyes suddenly turn red and Kaito punches Kingsman in the face But Kingsman punches Kaito in the stomach with so much force it breaks all of Kaito’s rib and launches Kaito back but with such force it shatters the dome and Kaito flies and smashes into the middle of a mountain as Kingsman runs away with so much speed he destroys the area around him
At the same time Haruto falls to his knees as he throws up and thinks
“What…Strength! He suddenly just hit him with so much power, he just killed him” Haruto passes out as Kei does as well
At the same time Kingsman makes it to the path down to the cliff side and as he’s walking down the path he screams
“AKITA! WHERE ARE YOU!? AKITA!'' As Kingsman makes it to the edge of the cliff, he closes his eyes and thinks
"Please no!" As he opens his eyes he is *shocked* as he sees Akita floating in the water with blood all around her and he screams
“AKITA!” Kingsman jumps down into the water and he grabs her as he jumps back to the top of the cliff and sits her down and he crouches next to her and Kingsman starts crying as he presses his hands down on the hole in her stomach and says
“No,no,no! Akita, please don’t leave me! I-I can fix you…Please just don’t leave me!” Kingsman darkness starts surging all over him wildly as he screams causing everything to start violently shaking as the sky cracks and all of the stars in space go dark and Kingsman is *shaking with anger* as his darkness wildly surges behind him causing a rift in time behind him as his sword shoots out of his darkness and as it flies through the air it forms into a giant dragon but as it flies across the sky with so much speed everything starts shaking even worse and Kingsman screams
“EVERYTHING!” The dragon flies into the clouds but as it does it infuses into the dragons body covering itself with lightning as four smaller dragons push through it's back but as they all fly across the sky, there consuming the darkness in the sky causing them to grow larger as they all fly back into the original dragon's back making it triple in size as it turns around and stats flying towards the ground but Kingsman feels something inside of his hand as he looks down, he sees Akita's hand in his and she starts trying to whistle but she spits up blood on her face and Kingsman whips the blood off of her face but as he looks at her, he starts crying even harder and Akita *weakly* says
“Please…Don’t hurt anyone because of me” As the dragon is diving towards the planet it suddenly flies back up and charges at Kingsman and he puts his hand up as it crashes into his hand and he pulls his sword out of the middle of it as it disappears and Akita *weakly* says
“I just want to spend the night with you…Please stay with me” Kingsman says
“Always” Kingsman picks up Akita and spins his sword opening a portal and Kingsman walks through it but Kingsman sword falls onto the ground closing the portal
At the same time Kaito wakes up and he looks around as he thinks
“Where am I?” Kaito starts to slowly pull himself out of the mountain but as gets on his feet he falls to the ground and he *screams in pain* as he feels the pain in his chest and Kaito says
“What the hell happened to me?” But Kaito remembers his fight with Kingsman and says
“No! What have I done!” He starts walking towards where Kingsman ran off to but as he make it there he sees Kingsman sword sticking out of the ground and the rift in reality right next to it and he’s *shocked* and he walks up to the sword and pulls it out of the ground as he says
“I’m sorry brother” Kaito looks at the tear in reality and says
“I don’t fully know what I did, but I will make it up to you” A voice from behind Kaito says
“What’s going on?” As Kaito turns around and sees Kenzo as Kaito holds up Kingsman's sword and Kenzo looks past him into the rift in reality and thinks
“This can’t be good!” But Kenzo looks at Kaito and says
“It’s time already, Kaito you focus on the village. We will still need a strong minded leader, and as Kingsman is gone you'll need Akemi’s counsel to take Kingsman’s place” Kaito suddenly drops Kingsman sword on the floor as he falls to his knees and *breaks down in tears* and Kenzo is *shocked* and says
“What’s wrong?” Kaito *through his tears* says
“Akemi and Emi are–” But Kenzo hugs Kaito and Kenzo says
“I'm sorry, I know it hurts and I’ll give you your time to grief. I’ll watch over the village as you calm your mind, but until then I’m here for you” Kaito is still *crying* but he wipes his eyes and he suddenly stops as he stands up and says
“I’m good, let’s get back to the village and make sure everything still ok” Kenzo is *shocked* and says
“No, don’t do this!'' Kaito says
“They need a strong leader to look up to and I have to be it” Kaito picks up Kingsman sword and walks past Kenzo and Kenzo says
“Please do not follow down the same road as Kingsman, he does that because of how unstable his darkness is and if he becomes to emotional it’ll destroy his mind. After the death of his Father and brother he could never properly control his darkness, that is why he has to hide his emotions. It’s not to look strong, it’s because it’s necessary! This village needs Kaito, not another Kingsman! There's a reason he does not lead this village, you do!” But Kaito doesn’t speak as he keeps walking and Kenzo stands up and follows Kaito but as they make it to the village Kenzo says
“How are we going to tell Kenji and Hana?” Kaito says
“They’ll come live with me” Kenzo says
“I cannot allow that my lord, Kingsman told me if anything happened to him he wanted me to train Kenji” Kaito is *confused* and says
“Huh? I thought you would never become a Sensei again” Kenzo says
“He asked me to become a Sensei once more for the safety of the village, A final wish if anything was to happen to him” Kaito says
“Then I’ll take care of Hana while you're gone, are you going back to the mountain?” Kenzo says
“I could hear it in his tone, he was extremely worried. So I’ll have to get serious with this training, I’ll have to go back to the mountain” Kaito says
“Alright, I’ll take care of Hana and make sure Gyomei and Saigo will be ready for whatever is coming” Kenzo says
“Good, we’ll be back in a few years. Hopefully we’re ready for the threat Kingsman was so worried about stopping” Kaito says
“I look forward to seeing the drastic change in both of your powers'' Kenzo says
“What do I tell Kenji about Kingsman?” Kaito says
“When you both get back I’ll tell him about the fate of his Father and Mother” Kenzo is *shocked* and says
“What, Akita died as well!? How can you be sure?” Kaito says
“I know you heard that primal scream of pain coming from him, there's nothing else in this world that would have Kingsman so angry” Kenzo *sighs* and says
“She was truly a gentle soul, and this world has gotten a bit darker with her death” Kaito says
“Next morning, you both need to leave early” Kenzo says
“As you wish my lord” Kenzo jumps on the roof and goes back to his library as Kaito walks back towards his office and he thinks
"What has this world become, we have truly lost everything in a day" Kaito starts crying as he walks into his office and falls back into his chair and lays his head on his desk as he cries himself to sleep
