Do you know about the attack on the three great clans?"
"Yes, who doesn't!"
"That means the Yamikaze clan was also wiped out" Kurumi's expression changed, she looked kind of emotional. "I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, but I just wanted to ask if you knew what his... its face looks like"
"Shut up!, Don't try to get involved in anything that doesn't concern you" Kurumi burst out. You're just trying to make me let my guard down!"
Kurumi charged towards Kakashi, so he had no choice but to retaliate. Besides, he could still try to get an answer from her after the battle.
As Kurumi closed on to Kakashi, he wanted to use his lighting blast, but he decided against it.
He clutched his fist tightly.
_If what Ayaka said was true, I shouldn't underestimate her_
*BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!*
The ground trembled as a large explosion erupted from the academy buildings.
"That explosion came from the dorms!!!" a student yelled.
"And also from the gate!!!!"
*BOOOOOOMMMM!!!!*
Another explosion was heard but this time it was from the arena, the upper right corner of the arena where the Sages and their assistants were supposed to sit to watch the program along the underground lot just blew up.
The explosion from underground made the battleground divide into three, one side collapsed with the other sides barely holding on.
Kakashi quickly pushed Kurumi out of the way before the ground scattered.
"Pl... please, get iff me" Kurumi asked, she had gone back to her former self.
"Ohh!, I'm sorry" Kakashi jumped up, he was so busy looking at the destruction that he had forgotten about her.
"Don't worry about it" Kurumi stood up and wiped the dust off her uniform. "What's happening?"
Kurumi's eyes widened after seeing everything that was happening, most of the students were gone and the humans who came to watch the matches were being attacked by transfigured monsters.
"Transfigured humans!" Kakashi yelled. "It must be Tomura!"
"W-w-what do we do?" Kurumi stammered, unable to move due to shock.
"Don't panic!. Help the humans evacuate, then find a safe place to hide Kakashi commanded. I'll take care of the rest!"
"How can you be so calm during a situation like this?" Kurumi said visibly surprised at Kakashi's resolve.
"Because panicking won't help" Kakashi quickly dashed towards the academy and yelled. "Go!!"
_I got to find him and make sure dispatched him this time. I'm not a weakling, I'll make sure I protect everybody this time_
"Are you looking for me?"
Kakashi froze in his tracks as he heard the familiar voice.
"Tomura!" Kakashi said as he turned around to discover that Tomura was behind and was holding Kurumi's arm.
"Kakashi, please help me!!!" Kurumi yelled. Frightened by the demon who held her tightly she struggled for freedom.
"You bastard!!!, Let's go of her, now!!" Kakashi yelled.
"I'm sure you know how my technique works" Tomura reminded me. "I've already touched her, so no matter what you try to do it's already too late"
With a menacing smile, Tomura lifted Kurumi and suddenly her body started folding up and rolling itself up until it became the size of a tennis ball, her clothes fell on the ground. He brought out his tongue in a mockery manner and put the fleshy tennis ball in his mouth and his smile widened.
Kakashi's eyes widened as he witnessed the horrible scene.
"Come on" Tomura smiled. "Try to save your friend"
"TOMURA, YOU BASTARD!!!. I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU PAY FOR THIS!!! Kakashi yelled as charged towards Tomura and punched him in the neck with a burst of karma energy, forcing him to vomit the girl he just swallowed.
The punch had forced him to move backward as he knelt and vomited blood. Kakashi walked past the transfigured chunk of human flesh and went after the demon before Tomura could completely recover from the first punch.
Tomura raised his head only to see Kakashi right in front of him, his eyes were bright red like someone thirsty for blood and his face showed he hated Tomura. Tomura's smile widened as he swung his arm open like he was about to hug Kakashi.
"Show me what you got!"
"Lightning blast!!!" Kakashi screamed as he grabbed Tomura's head and slammed it into the ground. The ground trembled as the side with was barely holding on fell in the underground parking lot.
Both of them fell into the lot, still looking at each other. Tomura had a smile on his face while Kakashi was trying his best to keep his anger inside.
Kakashi attacked Tomura with a kick, but he blocked it, Tomura retaliated but Kakashi caught his leg and threw him across the parking lot.
Tomura's mood suddenly changed.
"Don't you see?, You're fighting the wrong person" Tomura said, trying to find a way to start a conversation.
Kakashi dashed towards him with another lightning blast, but Tomura's head sunk into his body like it had been bashed in. Kakashi quickly switched to his left hand and struck again but also missed.
"Do you know where demons come from!?" Tomura yelled. It was certain to get his attention.
Kakashi stopped.
"What do you mean?"
"I'm sure Yaze must have asked you that same question"
"That must mean you know. Where do demons come from? Kakashi questioned.
"The actual question is supposed to be why do demons exist?" Tomura walked to a car and sat on it. "Demons exist because of humans"
Kakashi froze.
_No, it's just a trap_ He tries to convince himself.
"How is that possible!?" Kakashi yelled. "You think I'll believe a lie like that."
"Humans have very little Karma and also very little brain capacity, that is why they can't control it. But human emotions are also powerful" Tomura stared at Kakashi for a moment. "Hatred, anger, sadness, depression; all these are human emotions that easily manifest into this world as demons and hunt them. Normally, this wouldn't have been able to happen if there were no supernaturals in this world"
