Moon Princess

Reality(2)

"Rikuo, stop..! He's trying to provoke your anger! Don't be fooled by the nonsense." Youri is trying to resuscitate Rikuo. Right now all the attention is on Rikuo's fight, he should take advantage of this short time to escape with Gyukkimaru to safety. But letting Rikuo with such overflowing anger face Tamamo is also not a good thing, especially the nature of Rikuo who cannot think wisely makes others always worry about him.

"Because she.. All because of him... Even innocent people are victims. I even almost harmed a sincere person to me, who was even willing to give his life to save me. But I was so stupid I didn't realize it. This time... This time I will make up for everything, I will have to finish off this trash demon for good." Rikuo murmured.

"Damn, even though he hasn't received the Sacred Seal of the fox demon, his strength could be this big. I must finish him off or make him a fire fox demon as soon as possible or I will die at his hands." muttered Tamamo who began to feel cornered by the brutal attack from Rikuo.

"AAAAABARRGH...!!! DIE YOU..!!!" rikuo shouted while launching an attack through his right hand.

Looking at the flames of anger from within the look in his eyes, his pupils almost turned into those of a fire fox stealth eye. The energy pressure coming out of Rikuo's body was so strong that it shook the surface of the ground and the surrounding trees. His four fox tails instantly came out as he could no longer stem his energy coming out due to uncontrollable emotions.

Youri who realizes that Rikuo is in the phase of changing into a fire fox demon finally intervenes to attack Tamamo and slash one fox belonging to Rikuo. Rikuo who had not been able to avoid Youri's attack because he did not realize his presence was immediately thrown to the ground and almost lost consciousness, slowly Rikuo's pupils returned to normal when he saw Youri in front of him. He tried to get up and stay conscious.

Meanwhile, Tamamo who received a surprise attack from Youri bounced to break a large tree he hit and fell to the ground. Tamamo did not get too severe a wound, but also not a light wound considering the attack he got was from the Demon Fox King who was overwhelmed with anger and a surprise attack from the Butterfly Demon King.

"Huh..! Haha.. Haha.. Ahahaha... I haven't had a good fight like this in a long time. I've been missing him for a long time, so don't expect you to get away from me. Ughhhh... Uhukk..!!" Tamamo coughed and bled. He was surprised because he felt that the attack he had obtained would definitely not make him seriously injured, moreover he had already taken a lot of casualties through the Eternal Seal.

"Are you still unaware? I scattered the poisonous powder and used the poisonous wind sword while attacking you earlier. Although I didn't use much of my strength, but it was enough to paralyze you for a moment. Although it's harmless, but if you keep moving then the poison will spread rapidly throughout your body." youri said as she reached Rikuo who began to wake up and immediately approached Gyukkimaru and fled from the battleground.

"Hm... This fight turned out to be boring, so boring that I started to get sleepy. Unfortunately I can't sleep well because a useless demon like you has too many mouths until my prey just runs away." said Seiji who stood in front of Tamamo with a cruel face. There was anger and disappointment behind her smiling face.

"Tu.. Signore.. Uhukk..!! Forgive me, I was wrong because I was too careless and underestimated them. Please give me one more chance, I won't let you down." Tamamo crawled while holding Seiji's leg.

"But you've got that chance and you've let me down. After all, someone has to be sacrificed to overcome all this chaos" Seiji said as he stepped on Tamamo's hand after throwing it. His eyes were pushy and his gaze was clear and filled with fear, he was worried that the Matoba Clan would get rid of him if he could no longer be used by the Matoba Clan.

"Ohhh...!! Tu's.. Signore... Please, I have been following you for a long time. Be.. Give me a chance.. Once again. "pinta Tamamo while enduring pain.

AHHHKKK..!!!

"Huh.. Well, last chance for you, you're too old. Even that snot demon you can't get. If you fail again, you know what the consequences are. Come back with Danzo and recover your wounds, I'll use your tail to make amends this time." Seiji cut off Tamamo's tail with a knife about the length of a cubit, and explained to the firemen who had come because of the fire and the damage caused by Rikuo's fight with Tamamo. Of course he didn't tell the truth.

Seiji tells the firemen that they are hunting for fox stealth that appears and is worried that it will harm humans, he then shows Tamamo's tail as evidence. The firemen looked so frightened and agitated, especially when Seiji said that the fox demon he hunted had not been captured and was hiding somewhere.

Seiji asked the firemen and everyone who knew about this to be quiet and not to spread this important information so that the fox demon felt safe and did not attack people suddenly to be held hostage. He promised to report to the police if the fox demon had been caught.

- At the house of Mizu -

Bruk..!

"Ah.. You guys are back. At.. He's hurt, should we take him to the hospital?" said the panicked Mizu when she saw Youri putting the dying Gyukkimaru on the floor.

The dying Gyukkimaru faintly heard Mizu's voice slowly opened his eyes trying to look towards Mizu. But his increasingly limp body finally rendered him unconscious. Rikuo walked into the living room with his father on his way by Youri, he sat down and bowed.

His past constantly popped into his head and making him feel even more guilty, he thought hard to find a way to explain the real thing to his clan. Thinking about how to correct Tozai's mistake and try to clear his name, Rikuo wonders why Tozai hid the truth he knew all along to himself and his people. For a moment he felt annoyed at Tozai because Tozai was so concerned about him, but Tozai suddenly changed since he had a power that came out of nowhere.

Youri saw that the unease and confusion that Rikuo had in could only be silent, at the moment he had no reason to interfere in the affairs of the Fox Demon Clan. But even so, he still felt that there was something strange about all of this. However, Tamamo never showed his form in the demon world, how he could know what happened in the demon world.

"Damn..!!!"
