Chapter 21: Sealing

Yumoto growled as he ran towards Hireashi, "Scarlet Love Lumiere!"

Hireashi gasped and Yumoto cried out as Kouki grabbed him by his hair.

"Gra-Grandfather!" Yumoto screamed and Araki gasped, "Yumoto!"

"Araki-kun!"

Hireashi smirked and Yuuma laughed, "We shall win! For you harmed, my dear God of Night!"

Yumoto cried out as he was thrown onto the ground and screamed as shadows surrounded him.

"God of Light, feel the pain of our darkness!" Yuuma laughed and Araki cried out as he was trapped.

"Oh Lord Tungsten...." Hireashi smiled and walked to him. "You were such an amazing worker."

"I'll never work for you again!" Araki spat and Yumoto cried out as the shadows lifted him up.

Hireashi pointed a sword at him and hissed, "You work for me, or your little prince gets it!"

Araki froze and Yuuma laughed, "How dumb you are Tungsten."

"Don't do it, Araki!" Yumoto hissed, "I'm fine, you need to stop him!"

Araki gasped as Yumoto was trapped in a shadow orb and Hireashi laughed, "The heir is sealed away in the throne room. Fight me and then you can get him back." He snapped his fingers and disappeared.

Yuuma laughed, "I'll stop you!"

The white haired demon ran towards Araki and Araki blocked his attack.

"Tungsten..." Yuuma smirked, "Does Yuudai talk about me?"

"Every time we see him...he wants his brother back!"
Yoru growled, "Now, your heir is trapped with Hireashi, so how can you win?"

Araki threw his hand up, "Oh first God of Love, Hakone Kouki, please, awaken your true self! They have been controlling you!"

Kouki froze and Yuuma began to scream as Kouki held a hand forward. "You must go back to your true self, your brother wants you!"

Yuuma tried to run to Yoru, "Yoru! My God of the Night!"

"Yuuma!" Yoru gasped and grabbed him. The duo screamed as they were surrounded in a ball of light.

Yoru was shot out and Yuuma was too, his white hair slowly turned platinum blonde, eyes turning an icy blue shade.

"Yuuma!" Yoru gasped and Yuuma gasped as he was held, "Yoru...he...he took my powers away!"

"No, I simply healed you, you needed to know that Hireashi was killing you."

"Wha-what?" Yuuma gasped and Yoru frowned, "But..."

"Don't worry about that, you two can still be together. But you must run from Hireashi!" Kouki hissed, "Hireashi is killing you slowly."

Yuuma gasped and Kouki spoke, "Please go to your brother, and be happy. Both of you."

The duo nodded and Araki smiled as they left. Kouki began to fade out, "Tungsten, you are good for dear Yumoto...tell him his prayers are working...and that I love h-"

Araki gasped as he was gone and the ground shook. He ran towards the throne room and gasped as Hireashi stood there, sitting in Gora's throne, and Yumoto was above him, trapped in the orb still.

"Hireashi!" Araki hissed and pulled his sword out. "Yuuma is saved and so is the God of Night..."


Hireashi growled, "Of course...I knew I couldn't trust anyone."

Araki smirked, "You don't deserve to be around anymore. You've tired us all out."

"Good, that means I win."

"Wha-what?" Araki asked and the silver haired boy looked at the demon.

Hireashi smirked, "My curse may have happened, but I am very real. Without the heir, you cannot seal me away. The dumb heir stabbed my head the last time."

Araki replied, "Yes, he did, and we need you gone for good!"

Hireashi laughed, "If you want me gone for good, then you're out of luck. The last time, was the last time, I don't intend on being sealed away."

"Fine, if you don't, then you must spend your time forever trapped in the world of the demon realm!"

Hireashi rolled his eyes, "I refuse to go there too. The heir traps me in a realm that is full of darkness..."

"Then go there!"

"Why, Tungsten, why would I do that?!" Hireashi hissed and threw energy waves towards him.

Araki cried out and gasped as the orb around Yumoto began to glow.

Hireashi gasped as well and Yumoto burst through the orb.

"Hireashi!" He hissed and looked at him straight in the eyes. His body was glowing brightly and he stood in front of Araki. His hand was glowing brighter and an orb began to form, "You will never break my seal!"

Hireashi gasped, "Dammit! The God of Light has fully awakened...!"

"I, Battle Lover Scarlet, Heir of the Throne of Light and Love, am going to seal away the demon who has harmed me since birth!"

Hireashi's golden eyes widened as the orb flung off Yumoto's hand and he screamed as he was surrounded by it. "Da-dammit! Every time! Cu-Curse you Tungsten...and curse you heir! I-I will escape I swear on it!"

Yumoto growled, "Silence."

Hireashi screamed more as he was healed away and disappeared. Yumoto's hand slowly went down and so did the glowing. He turned to Araki and smiled, "He's gone...I destroyed the person I feared most as a child...Araki...the hero of the heir!"

Araki smiled and ran to Yumoto. Yumoto hugged him and as he did, footsteps ran into the throne room, "YUMOTO!" Vesta cried and Yumoto turned to him, and gasped, "Guys! I got rid of Hireashi! He's gone for good!"

"That's our Yumoto!" Vesta grinned and ran to Yumoto. Yumoto frowned as Vesta patted his head, "You're amazing, Little One!"

Yumoto laughed, "You are too!"

Atsushi smiled, "Yumoto, you did it...and your father will be very happy with you."

Yumoto gasped, "Rea-really!?"

"Yes," Gora spoke as he walked in, "but you are still heir. We want to make sure you are ready."

Yumoto began to pout, "Wait what?"

Gora brushed it off and walked away, Yumoto sighed and ran after him, what did Gora even mean?!
