"Daku!"
Tana shouted as Daku collapsed on the ground, the glow of the sword dissolving as the rain washed over them both.
Quickly placing his head on her lap, Tana eyes were filled with tears as just as, she felt a slight breeze blow.
A purple shadow swooning around her until an enigmatic figure was seen.
"W-who are you?" Tana asked, shocked and confused.
And hearing her words, a smirk appeared on the lips of the figure as he said, "Don't Tell me you can't recognize me now, little lady?"
Said the figure with long black hair that reached his back, his dim red eyes, and his weird looking outfit.
He had no shirt on as his chest was bare with a black tattoo at the side of his chest and arm. But he had a black trouser on as he floated like a spirit.
Tana's eyes widened slightly, she totally recognized that voice, "D-denchi? Is that you?"
"Yes, it is I, the Demon Lord of the Demon realm, Denchi," he said as he folded his hands slightly and floated towards her.
"Y-you are alive?" She said, still bewildered.
And to that, he laughed out, "No, no, no little lady… I'm still dead currently, the only difference is that you are now able to view me in my spirit form all thanks to my sword. With the powers gotten from my sword, I'm noa strong enough to mold into a visible form!"
He explained as Tana nodded slightly, turning her gaze back to the unconscious Daku.
"Will he be alright?" She asked softly as Denchi nodded, "Yes he will, it's normal for him to be collapse… The power was too overwhelming for him to hold for so long, he still has a lot of practice to do before his able to fully yield the sword."
Denchi said as Tana nodded once more, today she saw a different side of Daku.
A side she had never seen before, the anger in his eyes, it was… terrifying!
*
The ray of light reflected on the handsome face of a man laying on a mattress as finally, his blue eyes were seen.
Standing up slightly, Daku felt his head ache as he used his hand to support himself.
Not just his Head was aching, all over his body seemed as though he had been beaten by a bunch of monsters.
"Of course, you were beaten by a bunch of monsters!" He heard a voice say and upon seeing a weird floating man, he quickly jumped in shock but he regretted his actions immediately as he cursed in pain.
"You should mind how you move human boy, you might just injure yourself," Denchi said as he floated towards the table in front, seating down and folding his hands.
"W-who are you?" Daku asked, his voice loud enough for Tana who was just outside to hear.
"Calm down boy, it's me, Denchi," Denchi said as Daku tilted his head slightly.
"Is that you? What happened to you?"
"Well, thanks to the power of the sword, I am now able to appear in my Spirit form and use some of my powers!"
He said, as hearing his words, Daku's expression changed slightly as realization flashed across his eyes.
How could he forget that he had unsheathed the sword? Meaning that he was the chosen one after all.
Daku thought as he looked at his palm which had removed the sword, just then he remembered Tana but before he could call out her name, the door dashed open and Tana made her way in as the room went silent.
Upon seeing Tana, Daku was silent and so was she. It was like he had a lot of things to say but didn't know where to start from.
He wanted to apologize for not helping her in time, he wanted to hug her, knowing how terrified she must have been back on the mountain. He was the reason she was here, and she was his responsibility, but he couldn't even keep her safe.
Meanwhile, Denchi glanced through them as he had an interrogative look on, something weird was going on.
"Why are you two acting like complete strangers, aren't you going to say anything like hug or kiss like lovers do!"
He said as Tana and Daku's faces turned slightly red as they both shouted in unison, "Shut up, Denchi!"
"Oh boy, I'll just leave you two to it then," he said as he then disappeared from their sight.
With him gone, Tana sighed as she walked towards Daku, "How do you feel? You must be hungry, I'll get you some food to eat!"
She said as Daku nodded, "Mn.. How long have I been asleep?"
"Two days," she replied as Daku was slightly shocked. His body must have been really drained, but as he looked down on himself, he was bandaged around his hand.
"You were injured in your arm, so I got it fixed, I-I'm not a specialist so I couldn't do it well but just manage it that way." Tana said, turning around, ready to leave.
"Thank you!" He said as he smiled slightly, causing Tana to blush a little. That was the first time she had ever seen him smile like that.
What the heck! What's wrong with this weirdo? She thought as she tried to hide her flushed face.
"Cough! W-well after you eat, we most get ready to leave," she said.
"Leave?"
"Yah, our stay at the inn expired a day ago, but the innkeeper took pity on us and let us stay because you were injured, but we can't stay for another night. Our money is also running out, so we need to find a means to earn, rest I'll be back with your food soon!"
Tana said as she then made her way out and with her gone, Daku sighed.
How could the thought of money leave his mind? Now that they were here on their own, they had no parents to take care of them, they had to survive on their own.
"Denchi!" He called out as just then, Denchi appeared, "What's up boy?"
"Is there any way I can earn money through the sword?" He asked, his eyes glowing slightly and seeing that a smirk Appeared on Daku's lips.
"Of course human boy, Evil Spirit Hunting!"
