Let's go on a Ghost Hunt! (Filler) Pt. 2

Now Michael would feel mad that Ero-Sensei was right about his invention slightly defying physics like that but another thing popped up in his head, curiosity. It was his first time or rather it will be a spectacular sight to see his friends from the present look different in the future.

'I wonder what they will look like in ten years.'

"What is this another trick of theirs?" Terumi questioned.

With the smoke clearing over in Kiba's spot there revealed a rather toned but muscular, handsome blond man with powerful arm muscles who was wearing a suit with a blue long sleeved dress shirt underneath and a white tie. The man had a scar over his right eye as a smaller one was shown over the bottom left of his chin. Strapped to his hip was a single katana with a black hilt with hexagonal patterns. The man's eyes looked to be kind and sharp.

"A forest?" The man muttered to himself.

Next where Gasper stood, once the smoke cleared there was now a very handsome man with platinum blonde hair styled and cut to be short and another thing was he was almost as tall as Ero-Sensei. He wore a black suit as well, but with a red long sleeved dress shirt and a black tie. The man's facial feature looked more confident than any face Gasper could give as his eyes looked to be more mature like a real MAN'S should.

"Huh, where am I?" The young man looked from left to right in confusion.

Finally the last one the bazooka was used on was Saji, who was replaced by a tall and moderately handsome man wearing glasses while having a good muscular build that Michael found was cool. He wore a black suit with a white long sleeved undershirt with a black tie, there seemed to be 3 scars on the right side of his neck reaching all the way down to his chest. The man seemed to have a sophisticated atmosphere about him while he seemed approachable at the same time. His eyes were also filled with wisdom as he observationally took a single glance at the forest and sighed before cleaning his glasses.

"Could this be the forest around Kuoh Town, but how? It along with the city was…?" The man looked confused about what was going on.

Identifying each of the men as his friends, Michael could only gasp, 'Is this really happening are these really Kiba, Gasper and Saji from the future?'

"It seems the test was a success. I guess a 35% chance of succeeding was well worth the risk." Azazel said something so careless that made Michael sweatdrop.

"You mean it had a high chance of failing?"

"Well not fail per say just not working like I intended it to, if it failed they would be toddlers about 10 years in the past." Azazel said.

"If that had happened they would have been killed." Tsubaki shouted.

"But they aren't, so let's just enjoy the show." Azazel catches the 10 year bazooka that was propelled high up in the sky.

"What kind of trickery is this!?" Terumi hissed in anger.

"Kiba-senpai?" The platinum blonde haired man walked to Kiba from out the swarm of bats with ease. Not even Terumi could catch the man even forcing his way out, "Do you know what's happening?"

"Gasper-kun, you're here too? I haven't the clue to where we are." Future Kiba shook his head but looked around at the enemies surrounding them, "But I can only say that it was probably for these things."

"It's more than that." Walking up to the pair the bespectacled man crossed his arms and fixed his glasses, "We're back in Kuoh Town, or at least the woods near it."

"S-Saji-sama?" Future Gasper was off put at the presence of the now revealed Saji walking towards them.

"There's no need to refer to me like that…yet, I am still an ordinary devil just like the both of you." Future Saji reminded with a calm smile.

"Even when you say it like that it seems better for us to call you that because sooner or later you'll…" Future Kiba's handsomeness didn't go with age at all it actually grew even more as his smile was on a different level. If he were to smile like that to the girls at school then he would cause them to faint on sight.

Watching a conversation between these three was really refreshing, but by the way they were talking Michael couldn't make most sense of it.

"Still I'm not quite used to using such titles so please refer to me as normal." Future Saji requested then continued, "But more about this situation, don't you feel some nostalgia?"

"Yes, now that you mention it." Future Kiba rubbed his chin and rests his wrist on his katana.

"As am I, I don't really understand it, but-." Future Gasper was interrupted.

"That is it! I have had it with being ignored! Kill them all!"

Terumi sicked his ghostly silhouettes after Michael and Tsubaki who were pushed to a corner.

"Ddraig, how much time for my count?" Michael pressed his partner for answers.

[7 more minutes.]

"Damn! It's still not done yet?"

*FREEEZE!*

"What the hell!?"

Michael cursed loud enough for the future selves of his friends to hear. Next was that copy of Gasper's past form using its Balor View to freeze his lower body from moving.

Turning around slowly all of them said one name, as one of them rushed in to help without hesitation.

"Mike?"

"Michael-kun?"

Saji and Kiba remembered why this place felt so nostalgic before but feeling slow they sigh when they see that Gasper had already leapt to action.

"Crap!"

*FREEEEEEEEEEEEZE!*

Michael prepares to fire a dragon shot but then the enemies rushing towards them stopped completely.

"Huh?" Michael looked up to see the back of Future Gasper protecting him. He was able to stop all the enemies from reaching.

"You will not be allowed to reach any further." Future Gasper said with a slight one of anger in his voice. Raising his hand Gasper summons a massive amount of darkness and shadows below the group of ghostly silhouettes along with his clone, overpowering it without mercy, until it formed a giant demonic hand of shadows underneath.

"Vanish." Gasper's tone of voice turned dark and low as he clenched his hand which allowed the demonic hand to swallow up the group of ghosts and erasing/destroying any trace that was left of them.

"I-Impossible, all of them were erased without a trace…" Terumi shuddered as he felt a bad vibe coming from those shadows and the way Future Gasper's eyes glowed red made him shiver in fear.

"Gasper?" Michael walked a little closer to Gasper with a little hesitation.

Standing motionless for a while, Michael thought he was being ignored until Future Gasper snaps back and placed his hands onto Michael's shoulders while frantically examining his body for any injuries.

"Michael-nii, are you alright? You're not hurt are you?"

"No, I'm fine." Michael sweatdropped, he didn't know what to do at a situation like this, it was just too uncommon for him to have his kouhai who was now an adult worry for him.

"That's good to hear." Gasper wiped his forehead in relief before he stands straight up with a heavy sigh, "I'm so glad, you weren't hurt."

"Wooooow! Gasper you got biiiiiiiig!" Michael pointed out the height of his kouhai.

"Really? I still feel small compared to the others, but I still feel I can grow a little more don't you think?"

Michael could hear the confidence brimming from Gasper's voice along with his composer as well because he's actually talking like a social person. It made him happy to see that the boy eventually broke out of his shell.

"Excuse me for acting too excited, I'm just really happy to see you again since you kind of…" Future Gasper's gaze turned towards the ground.

"Huh? Did something happen to me?" Michael asked.

"Well…" Future Gasper trailed off.

"Ah, ah, ah, no spoilers seeing that you're healthy is good enough that things are where they should be." Azazel intervened not wanting a butterfly affect to happen.

"Azazel-sensei, it's really good to see you again too…standing…" Future Gasper whispered that last part to himself.

"So were you responsible for this happening?"

"Yeah, but don't mind me just make sure to rampage your heart out against those guys over there." Azazel pointed towards the ghosts and the man standing at the top of his altar.

"Right, we'll handle the most we can just leave it to us. Make sure to watch closely too, Michael-nii!" Future Gasper sounded excited at the prospect of fighting in front of Michael once more.

This excited personality of his to show off in front of people he admired reminded Azazel of Michael, himself it seems the man picked up a few things from the boy.

"Fools! Who said that this is over? I still have your other friend's copies by my side! Gooo!" Terumi ordered the Kiba ghost copy to attack the occupied Future Gasper along with those he's talking to.

"Gasper-kun, look out!" Tsubaki warned.

Like a shadow appearing out of thin air stood a taller figure behind Gasper who raised his sheathed katana to guard the attack.

*GIN!*

Pushing back the copy, Future Kiba responds with, "Gasper-kun, you mustn't get too side tracked from battle or else it will cost you, your life."

"Hai, forgive me for my carelessness, Kiba-senpai." Future Gasper was flustered by his mistake.

Directing his attention towards his younger copy, Future Kiba closed his eyes and said, "That attack was well timed, but it lacked the strength to even push my sheathe back."

*CRACK!* *BAGAAN!*

The copy's ghostly imitation holy-demonic sword crumbled in its hand.

"W-What?" Terumi was also confused, today was just not his day.

While fending his past copy off Kiba started to lecture it like a teacher, he even sounded used to it too, "You also failed to notice how many times that I used your open form when attacking to my advantage. Now who would like to answer how many times I unsheathed my blade to cut him down? You, Michael-kun."

"What me?" Michael points to himself.

"Yes, please, tell me how many times I cut this copy down."

"Er...well it's still standing in one piece, so I'm guessing zero?"

"Boo! I'm sorry, but that's incorrect. The answer was one. Honestly, I already cut him down it just took a while for my attack to register in, but now I think it's ready." Kiba nods.

"What do you mean?"

*SNAP!* *SNAP!* *SNAP!* *SNAP!* *SNAP!*

Getting not just decapitated the ghostly copy lost both its arms and legs in the process of Future Kiba's attack. Michael couldn't even tell if he attacked at all since he didn't see the man move.

"Holy crap!" Michael shirked back.

'Whoa! Kiba gets a whole lot faster in the future I barely saw him unsheathe his blade!' Michael cries out impressed.

"Oh my goodness." Tsubaki covered her mouth.

"That was just one time? But you diced the guy into 6 pieces!" Michael couldn't believe that.

"N-No, even that one failed…" Terumi muttered with fear in his voice.

"Yuuto-senpai, you shouldn't be showing off too much…" Future Gasper sighed a little disappointed he couldn't have shown Michael his growth.

"Hahaha, forgive me. My body moved by itself, and the chance to show this era's Michael-kun my abilities was too much for me to resist." Future Kiba laughed bitterly.

"But wait I didn't sense you use any Touki how could you cut that thing without it?"

Unsheathing his katana to reveal its black and red edged steel blade Kiba shows to Michael a very special thing about it. Exuding off of it was a pitch black aura of demonic energy focused into a fine and amplified to sharpen his blade.

"I'm able to heighten my blade's edge if I focus enough energy into it, with it sharpened with my demonic power too, there wouldn't be anything I couldn't cut. Even the souls of my enemy would get torn down if I they were to meet the cold steel of my sword."

"Whoa…" Michael could tell that the years have made Kiba a lot wiser.

'These men are too powerful, what happened to those kids from before did it have something to do with that mysterious man and that bazooka? No, I can't panic. I still have a way out if they have powerful attacks then I'll counter it by using a certain mirror.'

Terumi silently ordered the copy of Saji to use its line on Tsubaki so he could make a copy of her.

"How bad for you…" Future Saji said.

*GRAB!*

Without anyone noticing at first Future Saji grabs the line his past copy made before it latched onto Tsubaki.

"You're all out of options." Future Saji smirked.

"Tch!" Terumi gritted his teeth.

"Now is this my copy? How sad. I'd expect more from this from my past self, but I still was a child back then, so I understand." Future Saji pulls back his suit's long sleeve to reveal his bare arm which formed a black Asian dragon tattoo on it, "But what I don't understand is why you're going after my past senpai like this, it makes me furious, you could say it even makes my blood boil."

Future Saji's body emitted a very creepy black aura which felt similar to a dragon's but it still had that different factor other than Michael's. It felt very terrifying to even look in further to it. That was how scary that power was and the fact that Michael could feel Future Saji's immense output of power surprised him because this much power made his feel like his own output was a puddle while his was a lake. No, maybe an entire ocean.

The dragon tattoo on his arm starts to inject black flames into the line that travels up to the copy who tries to release the line but to no avail as the flames started to engulf its entire body. The copy was now engulfed in a prison of black flames and shadowy aura combined.

"For messing with things you shouldn't have, prepare to be damned for eternity by my black flames."

With one of his eyes turning into that of a dragon's Future Saji raises his hand in the air and bellowed,

"Infernal Flame Dragon's Judgement!"

Forming over the shadowy barrier was a massive magic circle which brings down upon it a giant Asian dragon made of black flames. It exuded a terrifying aura which belonged to a Dragon, but a certain type of one.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

The dragon explodes upon contact with the barrier as it decimated everything especially the ghostly copy within it.

"There." Future Saji sighed in relief before turning back to Tsubaki who watched him intently, "Are you okay, Tsu-ta-, I mean Tsubaki-senpai?" Future Saji almost slipped up and extended his hand out to Tsubaki. who blushes at the mature kindness future Saji exuded, he sure charmed her a bit.

"Y-Yes, thank you." Tsubaki tried to avoid Saji's sight which earned a smile from him.

"I'm glad, you're safe." Future Saji patted Tsubaki's head.

The gesture was weird since the Saji, she knew was younger than her and more fearful to attempt something like this. But the notion that the future one was setting for her was strangely okay for her to go along with.

"Doctor Science!" Michael shouted out to annoy the Future Saji sadly it didn't work.

"Hmhmhm! How many times have I told you not to call me that?" Saji chuckled to himself remembering the old times Michael would and possibly still call him that.

"Not the reaction I was expecting." Michael huffed, "But good to see you're in one piece in the future, Saji!"

"And you too, my friend." Saji takes a closer look to examine Michael with a frown.

"Huh, is something wrong?" Michael noticed this.

"It's nothing you shouldn't worry about it." Saji shook his head.

"Hm? Well, okay then." Michael noticed something about Future Saji, he felt the same sort of presence he received from Sirzechs and possibly Serafall when they first met. He couldn't tell how but it felt that he had a certain superior atmosphere that made Michael feel small when he compared himself to him in power. He's really grown!

'I wonder if I've grown…' Michael wondered.

Leaning in with a sly smile, Michael asked, "So care to give me any spoilers about how the future admires how great I am?"

"Nope, you have to live and find out for yourself the normal way." Saji shook his head.

"What? But we're best friends though! I'm the Great Hanamura!" Michael cried.

"No, you're incorrect. The Michael Hanamura in my time is my best friend, you're just a small part of him until he grows up, so I'm not giving you any special treatment." Saji talked to Michael like he was a child.

"Argh! Stop talking like you're older and better than me it's weird!" Michael stamped his feet like a child.

"But I am older than y-."

"I don't care! Sheesh! Excuse me for trying to ask this bastard for any favors." Michael turns around and crosses his arms.

"Some things don't change do they?" Future Saji sighed.

"No, but its good like this, right? Now about him." Future Kiba directed his attention towards the fear stricken Terumi.

"It will be troublesome if we leave him alone for these ones to handle." Future Gasper sounded resolved to handle this.

"Let's take him out swiftly, but don't end his life it may cause a butterfly effect in the future." Future Saji reminded.

"Right!"

Both Kiba and Gasper nodded.

"Now let's go!"

Future Saji surrounds himself with a pitch black aura which resembled a dragon's.

"W-Wait please show mercy!" Terumi winced but heard a familiar sound.

*PWOOOM!* *PWOOOM!* *PWOOOM!*

The three future versions of Kiba, Gasper and Saji disappeared to reveal their present selves. But this time they were a little different, Kiba was holding a bokuto like he was in the middle of a training session, Saji was holding a tea cup and plate dish with pink designs with his pinkie stuck out and Gasper was on the floor with an ice bag on his face. He looked frightened to death. Just what happened to them?

"Huh, looks like I'm back." Kiba looked from side to side.

"Where did we go?" Saji sipped his tea before stopping upon realization.

"Hmmmm? That was about 5 minutes, well, my interest here is dead, so see you kids!" Azazel unfurled his wings and just flew off.

"You aren't even going to explain the-! Okay, you know what never mind that will be for later anyways we got through the copies of yourselves because of what happened so now we can take out that smug turkey up there." Michael looked up at the scared Terumi who took a step back after he witnessed the power those young boys had.

"I may not know the full details, but I'm ready."

"Me too. You're not getting out of this especially since you decided to try and manipulate the Fuka-kaichou and make her worry for her missing clan members!" Saji declared.

"Saji, you…" Tsubaki was surprised Saji noticed the way she acted these past couple of days.

'No, this can't be happening, but calm down Terumi you can do this these kids were easy to handle now you just have to do it again and everything will be in your favor…' Terumi tried to dredge up any positive reinforcement he needed to continue.

[Partner, counts done.]

"Really? Freaking SWEET!"

[Welsh Dragon Balance Breaker!]

Michael cheered loudly as he entered his red dragon scale mail and used his wings to fly up in the air.

"Now prepare yourself, Terumi, as you face me, The Great Hanamura the user of the Boosted Gear and the Sekiryuutei himself!"

Staring at the powerful imperial looking armored boy Terumi's self-reinforcement dropped drastically as he bowed down in defeat.

"I surrender." Terumi cried out pitifully, his spirit was completely broken.

Michael could only blink for a while until his eyes popped out the mask of his scale mail's helmet exaggeratedly,

"EEEEEEEEEEH!?"

After rounding up Terumi and holding him captive with no resistance, the devils used a magic circle to transport the missing Shinra clan members back to the student council to be properly handed back to the main clan itself. But feeling cheated that he couldn't get a real use of his balance breaker Michael decided to make an explosion near Terumi's face burning off all of his hair and especially his goatee. This gave him a couple of laughs and cheered him up.

Gathered around each other the group of male devils regrouped after that little…event of theirs. Kiba explained when that bazooka got a hold of him he was transported to the Gremory Castle, the home of Buchou, and was standing in front of a group of children who looked rather familiar as he was teaching them how to use a sword.

Saji, however, was sent to a tea party with a little girl inside a princess styled bedroom, he felt that she had the same presence as the Kaichou so he deduced it was someone from the Sitri clan, but also she exuded a different kind of aura he couldn't identify.

As for Gasper, he was still shivering in fear and couldn't get his story straight. On his forehead was a new ice pack, to replace the one he had received before, to calm him down. All he could bring up about his experience was 'T-T-Too m-m-many p-people…too p-p-powerful…t-t-t-too scaaaaaaaary!'

"So we were swapped with our future selves?" Saji asked.

"Yep." Michael nodded.

"From 10 years in the future?" Kiba asked.

"Yep." Michael nodded.

"So are you going to tell us anything about them?" Saji asked.

Michael looked at Saji and remembered what Future Saji pulled on him and did a mischievous smirk,

"No way! You're going to have to go without knowing whatever happens to you."

"I feel as though you're mad at me for some crazy reason."

"You have no idea." Michael sighed.

"Saji."

Turning back to see Tsubaki approaching the group, everyone froze.

"I've been patient long enough. Now explain to yourself why you…no all of you are here."

"Well…urh… yo-."

"Don't try to stall." Tsubaki sounded pissed when she heard the stalling begin.

"You better just tell her, dude." Michael shrugged.

"Fine."

Sighing in defeat, Saji looked up at Tsubaki and said, "Tsubaki-senpai we sort of taken a file regarding your job here from the Kaichou's desk, without her permission to find this place."

The expression Tsubaki wore was that of hidden anger, to do something like that deserved complete utter punishment. But she kept her cool and kept her stern stare at Saji.

"So you did, eh?"

"Y-Yes, but we only came to-."

"No excuses. To have done something like this without the Kaichou's consent is unworthy of a devil meant to be her servant. Expect to be punished heavily once we returned."

Tsubaki turned away from Saji.

Raising his hand about to say something, Saji dropped his head and said, "Hai…"

Looking at Saji then at the angered Tsubaki, Michael trembled with impatience as he shouted, "Aaaaaaargh! I can't take it anymore!"

"What is it, Hanamura-kun?" Tsubaki questioned.

"The way you're treating him is the problem here! Why are you doing that!?"

"Because it is my job to punish those who break the rules of the Student Cou-."

Michael interrupted.

"No, not that! You can actually do that later, but after all of this you still haven't thanked him!"

"Breaking the rules shouldn't be encoura-."

Interrupting her again, Michael shouted,

"Well, he broke the rules because he was worried about you!"

"What?"

Tsubaki gasped.

"Mike, you don't have to…" Saji shook his head.

"But it's the truth! I can't just let this go without you getting a thank you. You risked your own life with us to do this, so you at least deserves a thank you!" Michael growled then pointed at the Fuka-kaichou,

"And senpai, he's been worried sick for you because you weren't acting yourself these past few days so he decided to round us up and help you! And didn't you say something about not abandoning your comrades not too long ago? Well we couldn't do the same, so don't deny it!"

"I-I..."

Michael pushed Saji closer to Tsubaki, who was speechless from Michael's long rant,

"Now chop, chop! Make with the 'Thank you's' and 'Your welcome's' while I go and change Gasper's ice pack!" Michael shouted and left as Gasper's tired moans were heard in the background.

Looking rather awkward, Saji said, "Well, that happened…"

"Yes, yes it did." Tsubaki sounded weird as well.

"Look, Tsubaki-senpai its fine. You don't have to-." Saji gave a sad smile.

"No, it isn't. I should apologize and properly thank you."

"What?"

"I should be grateful that you came when you did or things might have ended out terrible." Tsubaki bows her head and smiles, "Thank you, Saji, I really appreciate your concern for me."

His cheeks tinging pink in embarrassment, Saji scratched his head, "Well, you know it was nothing. I just felt strange without you keeping tabs on me is all, I mean, I prefer it if you were by my side without getting sad, you know."

"Eh?" Tsubaki blushed when she heard what Saji said about 'being by his side'.

"No! No! I mean when you're watching me work to see when I messed up, I didn't really mean it like that at all!" Saji started to fumble with his words as he tried to make a good excuse.

Tsubaki didn't mind actually after being reminded of how the future Saji saved her, she smiled and giggled, "To make this a fair thanks I'll keep this incident a secret from the Kaichou, but you have to promise to work more diligently, do you understand?"

Tsubaki sounded strict when she brought up work.

"Hai! Fuka-kaichou!" Seeing a break Saji finally showed some vigor and saluted.

Wearing a small smile, Tsubaki said, "Good."

Yawning, Michael said as everyone looked to him, "Well, guys, today has been a success for Team M.K.G.S so let's go rest up at home! Oh, Saji, could I crash at your place tonight? I kind of can't go back to mine for a while."

His face slowly turning guilty, Saji walks up to Michael and places both hands on his shoulders,

"Sorry, Mike, but you can't go back home with me." Saji shook his head.

"Hey, you can't let me sleep out on the streets, I just helped you!" Michael shouted.

"I know, but you can't go back with me. You have to go back with…"

*SHIIIIIIIIIINE!*

A large magic circle created for teleporting appeared behind them. It had the Gremory seal right on it!"

"Them."

"No…! How did they?" Michael noticed something glowing on his shoulder, it was a small magic circle used for tracking him down and it was being created by Saji!

"No, even you betrayed me, but why?" Michael gasped.

"I'm sorry, Mike, but I really needed your help on this one, and Raynare said that this was the only way she'll allow me to borrow you. Please understand…"

Saji walked away from Michael and looked up at the moon filled sky.

"Dude, I can't understand at all, you just threw me under the bus…come on, man, you can't let them do this to me." Michael sounded dramatic like an actor in a movie.

"Things look to be well handled here let us leave, Gasper-kun."

"Y-Yes…"

Kiba carries Gasper on his back and starts to run off.

"You cowards!"

"Excuse us for today, Michael-kun, I hope we'll meet each other again if you survive!"

"S-Sorry, Michael-nii!"

"I'm about to die…" Michael's face went pale.

Echoing out from the magic circle were a couple of voices, voices Michael knew very well.

[Michael, my adorable Pawn, please don't move from that spot~!]

[Ufufufu! To punish my cute kouhai, I can only feel exhilarated!]

[…Farewell, Baka-senpai.]

[Mi-cha-el-sa-ma~ it's time for your punishment!]

[Michael-san, please run!]

[They look actually serious about this, they really intend to kill yo-!]

The connection for any communication ended as the portal shined brighter about summon the angered women from the Gremory family.

With his hair overshadowing his face, Michael remained quiet and pale.

'Ddraig…' Michael whimpered softly.

[I'm sorry, partner, but even I can't help you here… Goodbye.] Even Ddraig felt pity for his possessor as he was hesitant to cut off the link between them.

Looking at the moon while shedding tears, Saji smiled, "It's been fun, Mike. Thanks for the memories, even though they weren't so great."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Michael ran crying towards the forest, like a scared child about to be punished, in a futile attempt to escape his inevitable fate.

He was never heard from again…
