" Well, my next question is about my demon self "
Shu said, in a low tone of voice as he would then raise his head slowly, only for the rain to water his face entirely, replacing the tears he had shed with the water drops that fell from the sky.
" Your demon self? "
Tekken relied as he would then scratch his chin a little, tilting his head only to blink a few times
" Yeah well I don't know wha— "
" Hold on "
Tekken said, interrupting his nephew as he would then raise his hand, waving it across the air to surround the two of them in a bubble of energy so that the rain wouldn't bother them
" Alright, what's up? "
Tekken added, only to then look over at his nephew, smiling a little whilst leaning against the bubble, getting comfortable for the upcoming conversation
" Well, I won't go too in-depth or anything but i just need to know, is there a way to get rid of my demon self? I'm constantly having to hold my rage inside me, and I'm afraid that if I keep doing that all that rage will gather together and explode, releasing him permanently "
Shu explained, sharing his concerns with his uncle only to receive a calm look from the man
" Shu, you are a rare case, when two different species have a child, that child becomes a mix of both those species, they don't become two separate beings like you. "
Tekken replied, making Shu sigh in irritation, he didn't know what to do, slowly he was starting to panic; not only is he not strong enough to protect his friends and people, but he also could be the end of them
" Also…I've never met a person like you, a person with a split soul——so I wouldn't know how to deal with your demon self. I also don't think it's ideal to get rid of your other half, he's part of you, and he also posses half of your soul, so if you were to get rid of him, it could possibly leave you physically and mentally unstable, there's no way to calculate what would happen to your sanctuary energy, either that or, you'll die a death that will cause your soul perish "
Tekken added, making Shu's sink deep inside of his chest with every word that left his mouth; Shu didn't know how to deal with any of this.
Fu was gone and all the responsibilities are now on him, he's the strongest after all, it's his job to protect everyone who is weaker than him, and now he was being told that he practically couldn't do so
" Uuuh—buut, I mean if you train really really really hard, you can probably awaken your ability so there's that…I mean Yorujo wouldn't have pushed it on you if there wasn't a way, right?… "
Tekken continued, in an attempt to comfort the man, laughing nervously as he spoke, trying his best to cheer him up, but it was to no veil.
Tekken tried to ignore his nephew, thinking that maybe if they just forgot about it he would get over it, but he knew that wouldn't leave Shu satisfied so he came up with another solution
" If you're afraid of your demon self taking over you, I could seal away your emotions "
Tekken said, offering his nephew a bit of hope, only to receive a look of excitement and joy from Shu
" That's great, yeah, but how will you do it? "
Shu questioned, only to receive a gigantic smile from Tekken to grabbed his head and pushed his against his own chest, hugging him tightly whilst laughing
" My ability is seal, it allows me to seal and unseal none tangible things, concepts and energy—-in short i have an ability that can allow me to seal away your emotions—demons run on anger after all, so if I lack away your ability to feel emotions all together, it will prevent your demon sell from exiting your body "
Tekken explained, receiving a few nods of agreement from Shu who was now giving his uncle a look of desperation
" Then do it, do it now "
Shu ordered, as Tekken simply nodded
" Alright, I need you to close your eyes, and think of nothing, picture yourself in a dark room or white room, as long as there is nothing on it, then the seal will work perfectly "
Tekken replied, to which Shu agreed, crossing his legs, placing his hands on his knees and closing his eyes, imagining himself floating inside of a giant white room
" Alright "
Tekken would then clap his hands together, causing a bit of Sanctuary Energy to ripple out of his hands, forming the kanji for seal above his hands.
Soon after, Tekken's eyes began to glow a deep dark black, whilst energy slowly slipped out of them, and black smoke spewed from his body.
The bubble of energy he had formed, popped, but as if it were afraid, the rain avoid to land on top of the two, crashing against what seemed to be an invisible umbrella; of course there was nothing there.
Tekken then took a deep breath, as the Kanji then turned back to energy, wrapping around of Tekken's hand right after; soon after Tekken slammed his hand against Shu's chest.
All the energy that left Tekken's body started to wrap all around Shu, engulfing his entire body, and as that happened, Shu's imagination of the white room suddenly disappeared and he found himself in a huge ocean, with a white sky.
He took a few steps forward, looking around in complete curiosity, he then stopped, finding himself standing in front of a woman.
This woman was beautiful, she was the most beautiful woman he has ever seen—but he was feeling odd, it was as if he had met this woman before
" Aah- "
Shu moaned in pain as he held his head, only to look over at the woman one last time.
Her eyes were as blue as the ocean they were standing on, her face was perfect, and so was every other part of her body, her breasts, her body, and her glutes, she also had beautiful long hair, with a black dress, seemingly made of a smooth and thin silk, which wrapped around her goddess of a body.
Finally, she had short blue horns, sticking out of her forehead
" M-mother… "
Shu whispered, only to receive a small smile from the woman as the place he was in began to crumble, the sea below him began to shake uncontrollably and the empty sky above him cracked, then he opened his eyes, finding himself sitting in front of Tekken with the rain still coming down form the sky.
Now his eyes were rid of emotions, they were cold, his blue eyes were now dark, as if they had a deep empty void inside of them; his face was serious, and his body was relaxed.
" I feel alone "
Shu whispered, staring at the man in front of him with those empty eyes. No longer does he feel anything.
