Chapter 10: the Only Thing I Lose...

Ryuu growled as he ran into the club room, "Everyone get off your damn asses!"

Atsushi frowned, "Huh?" He looked up from his book and gasped as Io came behind, "Io!"

En yawned as he opened his eyes, "Huh?! Ryuu!"

Io frowned, "Listen, we know where the heir is."

"Yumoto is missing?" En asked and Wombat groaned, "Yes! I told you!"

"Did not!" En hissed and Atsushi gasped, "When were you told?!"

En looked down, "This morning."

"And you didn't tell me?!"

"I didn't want you to worry."

Atsushi hit En with his book, "En-chan!"

En sighed, "Yes, yes you're a mama Atsushi."

Atsushi shook his head, "Whatever! We have to find the heir!"

Ryuu sighed dramatically, "Exactly! He....he freed us! Io and I heard him scream as we woke up!"

"Yes, we have to find him!" Io replied, "Even though my stocks are probably so damaged that I should be spending time doing that...but the heir is more important!"

Ryuu slammed his hands on the table, "I, Vesta, God of Fire, am ready to smite all demons!"

They gasped as the doors slammed open, "Guardians of the heir! IN MY OFFICE!" Kinshiro's voice hissed and the four cringed as they were pulled out.

Kinshiro growled as they stood in front of his desk, "So...the heir is missing and you all lacked to inform us?!"

"Aurite, the heir traded himself for us!"

Kinshiro growled again, "SO!? The heir is in the hands of a clan without powers!"

Io froze, "Yes...but we know where they are!"

"Huh?" Akoya questioned and Ibushi frowned, "This will be dangerous. Alert Araki-san."

Kinshiro looked at Atsushi, "At-chan...did you know?"

Atsushi shook his head, "En-chan didn't tell me at all."

Kinshiro frowned at En, "I knew it! We would be much better guardians for the heir! You always lose him!"

"We do not!" En hissed, "We love him...we would never let him get hurt!"

Kinshiro turned, "Whatever. We must hurry to the heir! He is gone and powerless!"

Ibushi sighed, "We have to go. If we do not, we are ruined."

Akoya stood, "You heard it, you all are terrible guardians and we're not trusting you."

Ryuu growled, "Gero...! We aren't leaving without Yumoto! We need him!"

"Fine...then let's go."

Araki slammed the door open, "Why didn't you tell me!?"

"Tungsten we were busy." Ryuu hissed, "We have to go, now!"

Araki nodded. "Fine. It'll be dangerous."

"We know."

Yumoto growled as they chained him up, "Ow! Treat me with respect!"

"Shh heir!"

"Don't tell me to shh!"

"We will!"

Zundar groaned, "Hurry and get him ready! Lord Hireashi needs the heir!"

"He does not!" Yumoto yelled, "He won't like me!"

"Oh but he does!" Dadacha smiled, "Don't worry, it won't hurt that long!"

Yumoto growled, "Where is he?!"

"Sealed...can you feel it? The seal is weakening and as long as you go there, he'll come back!"

Yumoto gasped, "You won't get away with this!"

"I'm afraid we already have-da."

Yumoto growled as he was forced to stand. "Come with us and if you try anything...we'll behead you instantly."

The heir held his head high as he walked. He would not go to his death without showing who he was!

Zundar looked down at the center as they walked lower and lower to the seal. He smirked as the heir's face began to contort. "Why...what's wrong?" Dadacha mocked and Yumoto turned to him with a near hysteric look in his eyes. "No! No! no!"

Zundar smirked and bowed to the seal, "Lord Hireashi! We have a gift!"

Yumoto cried out as he fell back and the chains fell from his body. He gasped as the seal began to shake and black smoke began to seep out.

Zundar and Dadacha quickly teleported away and Yumoto began to run. He had to get out of there!

He screamed as something stabbed into his robe's long train.

The two brothers laughed and the heir began to panic...! "Papa!" he sobbed, "Papa please! I need my powers!"

"VESTA IGNTE!"

Yumoto gasped and Zundar cried out as he was hit, "Dammit!"

The heir looked up as he saw the fire and he turned as something tugged on his robe. He froze as he heard laughing.

"Perlite Time Freeze!"

Yumoto gasped as time stopped ticking by... "Grab my hand you idiot!"

"Perlite!"

"Yeah yeah, hurry!"

Yumoto grabbed for his guardian's hand and chains wrapped around his waist, helping him. "Ibu-chan-senpai!" He ran to Argent and Argent sighed, "Little One, why did you do that?!"

"I had to! If I didn't Sulfur and Vesta would be gone!"

Argent frowned as Yumoto responded. He looked up as time began. "We must go."

"But Hireashi!"

"No buts, you are powerless!"

Yumoto looked away and gasped as he felt something grab his the end of his robe train. He cried out as he was pulled downwards.

"No!" Argent cried and tried to grab Yumoto's hand. "Little One!"

Yumoto screamed as he fell back downwards, "NO!"

The heir threw his hand up, "Love Making! Come on! Papa awaken my powers for me!"

As he cried this, his body began to glow. "Ah!" Yumoto gasped and his outfit began to change. "YES!"

Zundar and Dadacha gasped and the guardians watched.

"Oh hell yeah! Make them your bitch, Yumoto!" Vesta laughed and the hand holding the heir's robe let go and a scream was heard.

Scarlet floated there in a ball of light and he gasped as his outfit was different. "Ah! Papa, thank you!" He cried to the sky and a beam shot down at the demons.

"For you have freed the demon lord...I have unleashed the heir's powers and his pure form!" Yukiteru's voice hissed and Scarlet looked down at Zundar and Dadacha as they jumped down.

"Lord Hireashi!" Zundar gasped, "We need to take care of the heir!"

Hireashi stood and the heir landed in front of him.

"Ah, heir...."

"Hireashi." Scarlet spat and pointed his staff at him, "Sorry but your reign is already over."

"Mine?" The demon gasped, "How is it? I have just begun!"

The heir cried out as he was shot back into the wall and Hireashi gasped as the guardians jumped down in front of him. "Hireashi." Aurite hissed, "You are done."

"Oh I'm afraid not." Zundar hissed and threw an orb out.

The guardians jumped up and Scarlet gasped as he clung to Vesta.

Zundar laughed, "Anti-Coccino Clan! Attack the heir and the guardians!"

"NO!" Scarlet cried as the three disappeared in a thing of smoke and Vesta tore Scarlet behind him. "Stay behind me."

"Vesta! I can fight!"

"No!"

Scarlet sighed and Argent spat, "We need to leave here, not stay! They have escaped!"

Scarlet nodded, "Yes! They are a threat to us!"

Perlite groaned, "One second, I can freeze time and we can somehow teleport out of here!"

Aurite nodded, "Alright, let's get out of here now!"

Perlite threw his hand up, "Time Stop!"

Aurite and Argent looked at each other, "okay. Let's go!"

They both threw a hand up and a bright light surrounded them all and they teleported away.

Scarlet looked at his guardians on the school balcony, the wind blowing his hair and Battle Lover outfit.

"Everything is wrong..." the heir muttered, he looked up at the sky. "It is getting darker...the light is fading."

"Huh?" Cerulean asked and Scarlet looked at them, "Drop all what you know about the demon trio. They are stronger now. Hireashi's influences are bad. We must hurry."

Aurite walked forward, "Your majesty, please, don't feel upset. You were about to get him back into the seal."

"I know, Aurite..." he looked at him, "How good are you with that sword?"

"We...we're excellent at our sword fighting. We'll keep you safe."

The heir smiled, "Thank you."

Vesta laughed, "Yumoto, you were going to destroy them! They fled because they were afraid!"

Scarlet began to laugh and undid his transformation. "Let's go take a bath! Okay?"

The guardians smiled and they all began to leave. Yumoto grabbed Araki's hand, "Come on!"

"I..I will don't worry!"

Yumoto smiled...he was going to stop those demons and save the world!
