constant flow

The air was tense as Shinokaze stood firm before the lower tier demons, "a Hoshino? I hate the Hoshino", Chiko growl.

" Hey, before I kill you, I have a question to ask... Do you know a demon called Kane? Tattooed, left shoulder armor, raven haired, blue eyes and idiotic attitude ", Shinokaze explained.

" Is this brat talking about lord Kane, one of the soul breakers? ", Junichiro ask cocking his head.

" It seems like our loud mouth friend here knows who I am talking about, what can I say? You do look stupid just like him ", Shinokaze said.

" Did you just call me stupid? ", Junichiro frown.

" Shut your mouth, I am the only one allowed to ask the questions here, and you're going to answer me... Where is Kane hiding?", Shinokaze ask in a demanding tone.

"Hell will I tell you, I'm going to kill you and then take what I am here for, and when I want to take something, nothing can stop me", Junichiro's eyes turn purple and his pupils became vertical.

"You are only a zenith, don't forget that", Shinokaze disappear from sight.

*Huh* "where did he go?", Junichiro ask looking around.

"He's right behind you Junichiro!", Chiko alert him.

Shinokaze slash his fan and Junichiro crouch down, the fan slash through thin air and Junichiro leap away.

*Grr!!!*Chiko dive forward with a fistful, Shinokaze leap back and Chiko punch the floor changing it's shaped, Shinokaze launched his fan at Junichiro and the fan chopped off his left leg, Benjiro punch Shinokaze from the side and Shinokaze sailed into the wall of the boat breaking into another part of the boat.

"Shinokaze!", Shinra called out, the people on the ground side were all wondering what was happening as they peak from a good distance.

"The brat is quite good", Benjiro admit, his right hand then fell off and same thing happened to Chiko, the people saw this and started murmuring among themselves.

*Wow* Shinra was stunned.

"I won't ask again, where is Kane hiding?", Shinokaze ask, his fan was on his left hand while his sword on his right.

"(He was able to cut off my hand and at the same time caught his fan that returned and cut off Chiko's hand)", Benjiro was staring at Shinokaze," I guess it is about time we take things serious", his skin turned grey and a few markings appeared on him, his upper canines grew into fangs and his nails became dark but remain short, the bone of his lost arm grew and was wrapped up in fibre and skin, he raised his head and his eyes were now purplish in color.

*Ah!!!!!* "demon!!", a human screamed in horror *ah!!!!* They all started running heads over heels.

"(They transformed and their hands grew back)", Shinra was shaking in fear, "(the smell of their yamiryoku, it smells more rotten than before)", Shinra pinned his nose with his hand.

"Kid, play time is over, I'm going to suck you dry", Junichiro licked his lips revealing his upper canines that has grew into fangs, his leg had grown back as well, he released his razor dark claw and launch off the wall he was sticking to.

Shinokaze block Junichiro's attack with his fan and he was forced back a few feet, "(his strength has increased)", Shinokaze glanced at Junichiro who was having a sinister smile on *ah!* Shinokaze was smashed to the side.

"Shinokaze!", Shinra was surprised, he look around and realized that Benjiro was nowhere to be found, he look over to the spot Shinokaze was a moment ago and he could make out a figure standing there.

"(What the hell was that)" , Shinokaze pushed himself off the ground,"( was that attack from him?)", Shinokaze was staring at Junichiro, "(no, and it wasn't from the big one either)", Shinokaze look over to Chiko, his shark like teeth were now longer than before, on his elbows were fins and a web connecting each fingers *huh* "(wait a minute... The other, he's)", Shinokaze started looking around.

"He's still there, he turned invisible but I can still see him", Shinra alert Shinokaze.

"(Invisible?)", Shinokaze was shocked.

"There!", Shinra launched some shuriken and blood splatter from thin air before the shuriken went into the wall.

"You brat", Benjiro said calmly but irritated as he became visible again.

"The brat can see through Benjiro's camouflage", Junichiro frown.

" Don't worry about him, I will separate his head from his neck ", Chiko started walking towards Shinra.

*Ugh* Shinra gasp in horror as he watch the demon walking towards him, his body became numb and he was shaking," (damn, does it really have to be now?... Come on... Move your ass)", Shinra closed his eyes and bit his lips.

" Hey you! ", Shinokaze called after Chiko .

" Come on fella, we are the ones you should be worried about, not the one who's already dead ", Junichiro smirk.

" Prepare to die, demon arts: unseen shadow ", Benjiro became invisible again.

" (He disappeared? Dammit)", Shinokaze tapped into defense mode, he dodge as something slash the air, he then leap away trying to keep his distance," (fighting with something I can't see, this is like fighting with my hands tied to my back)".

*Grr!!!* Chiko kick Shinra off the ground.

*Kahh* Shinra cough out blood, Chiko punch his stomach and pound him down *ah!* Shinra whine in pain.

"I wonder how a brat like you possess...", Chiko kicked Shinra on his face, "yamiryoku", he grabbed Shinra's head and pinned him yo the floor.

"(He what!?)", Shinokaze gasp in total disbelief.

"Pay attention to me you brat!", Junichiro threw a punch followed by a kick.

"(His movement are swift)", Shinokaze manage to evade all Junichiro's attacks, "(that was close)", *Huff Huff* Shinokaze was panting *ah!!* He fell to the side, "(damn, that bastard is getting on my nerves... And Shinra...)", Shinokaze watch with wide eyes as Chiko was crushing Shinra's head *tch*

"Come on kid, you are enjoying this right?", Chiko ask punching Shinra's head further into the floor.

*Tch* Shinra grit his teeth, "(this guy... Is... Trying... To crush... My skull ...)", *tch* "(got to...)", Shinra open one of his eyes and slash his sword through Chiko's chest leaving a wide cut and blood running out of it *hehe* "bingo".

"You bloody bastard! I will kill you!", Chiko growl furiously.

"Shinra!", Shinokaze who was dodging Junichiro's claws cried out seeing as Shinra's head was about to get splash all over the floor.

*Ugh* Chiko gasp as blood split off his hand that was holding Shinra down, the hand then fell apart from Chiko's body, "(no way)".

"After forcing our way through the crowd we finally made it here", Sora was hanging upside down on the ceiling.

"Yeah, there seems to be a great fun going on here, and I can't believe we have missed a lot of it", Kaguya said with her usual smile.

"What is this, two more showed up... I can tell you all want to die pretty quick", Junichiro snickers.

"Shinra, are you out of your mind? Trying to take all three of them by yourself? That was insane ", Sora wasn't happy.

"Relax Sora, I'm good now", Shinra forced a smile.

"You are bleeding, that's not fine to me if you ask me", Kaguya said.

"Really guys, I'm alright", Shinra assured them.

"(Nothing about that is alright, he is still a genin without any ninja arts and to round things off he still hasn't... Being able to kill any demon since he had been a ninja)", Sora was staring at the white haired boy, Shinra was having a few bruises from all the pounding he received from Chiko, "hey, demon".

*Mmm* Chiko look up at Sora with a look of irritation and annoyance.

"From here on out", Sora pulled out a kunai, "I, Sora Nosuke... Is your opponent ".

"Nosuke", *huh* "boy, don't make me laugh, you are nothing but a punk, I will crush you with a single blow", Chiko smashed his fist into his palm.

"Such big words for a low life fish", Sora said.

"(What the hell? Is Sora really planning on taking this guy on? That's impossible)", Shinra swallow hard.

They all became very quiet, Sora staring down at Chiko with his usual lazy expression yet the anger in his eyes were visible, while Chiko grit his teeth and ball his fist, Junichiro glanced at Shinokaze and smirk.

*Hm* Shinokaze scoffed as he glared at Junichiro with hate and prepared himself to attack.

"This is going to be fun", Junichiro licked his lips in delight.

*Ugh* Shinra gasp and swiftly spun around slashing one of his swords up thin air, a demon's arm that was chopped off became visible and blood splashed.

"(I knew I was sensing the presence of another demon here)", Sora glanced at his team mate.

"You brat!", Chiko launched after Sora and at the same time Shinokaze and Junichiro engaged in a battle, Shinokaze was slashing with his sword and Junichiro was dodging it.

Kaguya appeared next to Shinra and kick the air, her leg made contact with something and it crashed away, Benjiro became visible and his hand that was cut off by Shinra was bleeding.

"You can see me as well?", Benjiro ask quietly.

"Not really, but I can detect and tell where you are, so don't think you can hide", Kaguya informed.

"So that's it", *eh* Benjiro's hand grew back as he stare at both Shinra and Kaguya.

"(Fighting this guy is going to be trouble, unlike Shinra who's sense's are heightens, I'm only able to tell where he is by the sound of his movements and few of his organs that are responded to my reiketsu, if he figures this out then I will be in trouble and needs Shinra's senses)", Kaguya was having some senbon needles ready incase she needs to attack or defend herself.

"Kaguya, you won't be able to fight this guy, he might look really gentle and all but his taste for blood is more than the other two", Shinra warned.

"Don't worry, I have faced opponents that are way terrifying than him, I'll be just fine", Kaguya smile.

"(Seriously? She's acting pretty calm but I can tell how tense she is right now, I should be the one fighting with this guy, not her, damn)", Shinra grit his teeth,"(why can't I?)", *tch*.

"You rotten bastard!", *boom* Chiko punch Sora destroying the ceiling, Sora appeared on the floor and looked up at Chiko who was now on the top floor.

"(He moves pretty fast, and he has great strength too, I believe that's part of his demon abilities, lucky enough I was able to dodge his attack, and if we continue like this then this boat will get wrecked and that's for sure, need to think of a way to get them out of the boat, but how?)", Sora thought.

"You are fast, I will give you that, but you won't be fast enough to dodge the next one", Chiko growled.

*Ra!!!* Junichiro slash his claws which Shinokaze blocked with his fan, he then threw a kick aiming for Junichiro's head but the cocky demon was fast enough to block the attack, Shinokaze leap off the floor and used his other leg, Junichiro blocked it as well but stumbled back slightly, Shinokaze found a opening and launched his fan, it went through Junichiro's legs taking them off *huh* "no way".

"Now you are a goner", Shinokaze appeared in front of the demon to slash his sword through his neck, but was hit away by nothing, he crashed into another part of the boat and frowned," what in the world was that", Shinokaze's eyes twitched to the side where his violet haired and white haired team mates were and saw Benjiro, "(if that guy is over there then how... I can't feel the presence of another demon other than these three, damnit, this guy is getting on my nerves ".

Junichiro's legs regenerate and he smirk,"(demon arts: invisible arms)".

"You still haven't answered my question dumbass, where is Kane ", Shinokaze demand while standing up.

"Quit asking like you will even get to him before you visit your ancestors, you won't even survive this night against me, get it?", Junichiro ask with an idiotic smile.

"Believe me, the only one that is going to kill kane, is me, and nothing will stop that", Shinokaze took a fighting stance, "I will make sure you open that big mouth of yours and pure everything I wanna hear ".

"Stop being soo naive you squirrel, I'm not going to tell you anything, but I can assure your death right now ", Junichiro grin.
