Chapter 19: Blood of the Heir

Hireashi smiled as Yuuma held up to him a vial. "Blood of the Heir...I took it from him. His soul was taken from you."

"Oh yes, I know. That brat...one day, Yuuma, we shall destroy him. For now, we are on our own."

"Yes, Lord Hireashi."

"The heir's blood is powerful...in fact, the Sword of Sealing we stole from him can be used to end the entire world of the Gods!"

Hireashi smirked, "And the Deadly Hearts Club is with the heir...Takeda, will assist in killing the heir."

"Good...and once he brings us the brat, then we can end him for good!"

--------
Yumoto sighed as he sat in the bath, one of the servants were bathing him, since he was still slightly weak.

He flinched as they slowly washed his chest and as they did, another began to manicure his fingernails. He sighed again, he hated this treatment. Another began to wash his hair and Araki walked in.

"Lord Tungsten!" They all gasped and bowed as Araki walked forward. He smiled as they rinsed Yumoto's hair out.

Araki smiled as the servants dressed Yumoto and used oils on his skin. Yumoto blushed as Araki watched him and he gasped as one servant began to brush his hair out. "I...I can do this myself."

"No, no, your father insisted on us helping you. Today, you are meeting up with the Gods."

"What?!"

"Yes, that's why I came in, dear."

Yumoto frowned, "Why do they need me?"

"We weren't told why."

Yumoto groaned and he was taken out of the bath house. As he was, Argent took his arm, "We're going now. No one knows why you're needed."

Yumoto looked away and he was taken away. He was put in a carriage and he looked up as Araki sat beside him. Yumoto watched an empty one move forward and Argent spoke, "That's a dupe...if anyone tries to kill you then they'll attack that one first hopefully."

Yumoto sighed and Aurite looked out the window, "We're going with you today, the others are staying back to watch the palace..."

Yumoto frowned, "Aurite...do you know why they need me?"

"No...I wish I did. I know many of the other gods dislike you..."

Yumoto spoke, "They hate me because Hireashi is back!"

Aurite sighed, "Scarlet, you didn't want it! You were cursed from birth, it was destiny!"

Yumoto looked out the window and Aurite watched as Yumoto gasped out. "Au-Aurite...! I saw something!"

Perlite stood up, "What do you mean? There's nothing!"

Yumoto pointed out the window and Aurite looked at Yumoto, "Please, you need to relax."

Araki nodded, "Yes, don't worry. Everything is fine."

Yumoto sighed, "I hope you're right..."

-----

"Hireashi is back!"

"YES! The heir was stabbed and Hireashi tried to drain his life!"

"The heir must be punished!"

"Enough, enough!"

Yumoto whimpered as he walked in and the God of Law, Seiji, smirked, "Oh, heir. How did it feel to die?"

Yumoto froze and Seiji's hand clutched into a fist and Yumoto clutched at his chest and fell to his knees and began coughing.

Aurite ran to him and Yumoto fell into his chest. Aurite grabbed his hand and hissed, "Blood...God of Law! What have you done to the heir?!"

The God of Law smirked, "I have done what I must."

Yumoto whimpered as he was sat in a chair and another God walked to him. "Heir...why is Hireashi back?"

"He...he..." Yumoto whimpered, "my blood..."

Araki frowned as he looked at the God, "Please, he needs rest."

"Now, we need to discuss more issues..."

----

Yumoto sighed as he sat in the bath again, he froze as he stared at the water as it turned red. He jumped out of it and gasped, he had imagined it being red with blood...

He quickly dressed himself and as he did, someone walked into the room. He froze as he was tackled to the ground and he cried out as they spoke, "Damn you heir! I'm killing you!"

"Ta-Takeda!"

"Shhhh." He smirked and Yumoto gasped as his hands wrapped around his neck. He began to claw at Takeda's hands as he pressed down.

"Takes thirty to forty-five seconds for them to black out from choking...a minute and thirty seconds total for them to die." Takeda thought and Yumoto began to claw at his face.

"Ten...eleven...twelve..." Takeda began to count in his head and Yumoto felt weakness fill him and he kept clawing at Takeda. He whimpered as the grip tightened. "Twenty-five...twenty-six...twenty-seven..."

Yumoto's fighting ceased and his eyes slowly shut and Takeda smirked, "Blackout...now...keep constant pressure for another minute and you're dead."

Takeda smirked as he had a handful of his diamonds and shot them into Yumoto's chest.

"No one will save you..."

Takeda looked up and counted aloud as the door opened. He gasped as he was tackled off the heir and kicked at Epinard. "How did you find out?!"


"He screamed for us in his mind." Epinard hissed and Takeda growled as he was tied up and Epinard tried to wake him up. "Yumoto, wake up..."

Yumoto's eyes slowly opened. "Ma-ma-mama..."

"Yumoto!" Epinard cried and hugged Yumoto. "Are you okay?


"Ye-yeah."

----

"Dammit..." Hireashi hissed, "That damn Epinard...the heir is in my way! I need him gone!"

"Lord Hireashi, what do you plan on doing next?"

"Yuuma, I plan on using the heir's energy to take over the palace and ending them all."

"Good idea...the heir needs to be taken away this time."

"Yes, and I'm annoyed of Maximum Gorar still...these damn scars!"

Hireashi threw a small axe at the mirror and he looked up, "Too bad Tungsten isn't with me...he and the heir must die...!"

Yuuma smirked as he bowed, "The heir will...I promise, even without a new curse."

"The curse was a distraction...and now I will keep the heir and use his powers. I will use every last ounce of it. He won't escape me this time!"

Hireashi laughed as a figure of Yumoto appeared and it screamed as darkness surrounded him along with monsters. "We will end the Court of Love...and then the Court of Life....and the main Court of the Gods. After this, we shall rule...for the heir's curse is if he dies, then the world ends too."

"Yes, Lord Hireashi!"
