A New Enemy

 

As the morning crept up on the horizon, dark clouds also formed throughout the sky.

Harou was unable to sleep well at all; dreams kept waking him up through the night, dreams about Rila.

His dreams were the same concept every time, he kept running after Rila but could never catch up, until she finally fades away, and that's when Harou would wake up. He didn't understand why he was having these dreams, what could they mean?

Harou sat up in his bed, drenched in sweat. He rested his head on his hands and tried to shake the images of the dreams out of his head, but it was no use, it was like they were super glued to his mind. He looked at the clock on his nightstand and saw that there was still another hour before he had to get up and get ready for school, if he was even going to school. He didn't get much sleep, he thought maybe he would skip today, his mom wouldn't care, she wouldn't even know.

Harou didn't feel like going back to sleep, he instead went downstairs to eat some breakfast, and then go watch TV in the living room.

 

The next thing Harou knew, he was standing, surrounded by darkness. A faint sound pierced the air, until Harou could finally make out what it was saying, “Harou, NOOO!!” At first he couldn't tell whose voice it was, but the voice continued, and Harou finally realized that it was Rila!

 

“NO!” Harou yelled as he jumped up from the couch. He was dreaming again, he must have dosed off while watching TV. He looked at the clock and saw that he only wasted 20 minutes, “Screw this.” He walked back up to his room and put on his normal clothes, an orange shirt with a gray open vest, and black baggy pants, along with a red headband. He then started off toward the door, and then he got a different idea. He opened his window and jumped out the two-story house. Once his feet hit the ground he was instantly sprung back into the air. He landed on top of a house roof, then continued jumping from rooftop to rooftop with amazing speed, practically invisible to the naked eye.

He finally made his way out of the town and into the city. Harou made his way through the city using the rooftops of the buildings until he arrived at his destination: a huge skyscraper, the biggest one in the whole city. He stood on the building next to the skyscraper and gazed up, he then squatted down and pushed off the roof of the building and soared up through the sky. It wasn't enough to get him all the way to the top of the skyscraper though, so he had to plant his feet onto the side of the building and boost himself again to reach the top of the building then flipped and landed on the roof.

He stood there on top of the building staring out at the rising sun beyond as the dark clouds start to cover up the warm rays, and the smell of rain flowed through the air.

He always felt at peace when he was up so high and there was nothing but the cool air and the faint sounds of the city, the fresh air, and the great view. For a minute he felt relaxed and calm, and forgot about the dreams, but not for long as they just came rushing back to his mind, “Dammit!” He tried to shake the dreams out of his head, but to no use.

In just a few seconds later, something sparked, and in the next second he felt the blaze of the demon energy ball piercing through the air as he back flipped and landed back on his feet and watched the mass of demon energy fly off into the sky and disappear. He turned around and saw who it was that shot at him, it was human looking, but it wasn't human, it was a demon, roughly 6 feet tall with wild yellow hair and dark tan skin, along with two horns on each side of his forehead. He had a stern face with hate in his eyes.

“Who the hell are you?” Harou obviously angered asked impatiently.

“My name's Irasuke, and I'm here for revenge!”

Harou was all of a sudden confused, “Revenge for what?”

“You killed my brother!”

“What the hell are you talkin' about?”

“2 years ago, when you were apart of Mirage; my brother was in a gang who was harassing a human girl. And you killed him!!”

“I don't keep track of all the demons I kill, and I don't give them any mercy, especially when they're harassing a human girl!”

“You still killed him! Now you'll PAY!” With that, Irasuke vanished.

Harou predicted Irasuke's next move and was a step ahead as he whirled around with a backward kick; Irasuke was sent flying off the edge of the building from the impact of Harou's leg smashing into his face.

Harou followed, he jumped off the building toward Irasuke, the wind plowing into him as he glided through the air. Harou closed in on Irasuke and his fist pierced the air and made contact with Irasuke's fist causing a shock wave of energy, and in the next second, both of them vanished simultaneously.

Both with amazing speed, they continued to jump from building to building while clashing with each other every few seconds, every time causing a shock wave along with windows cracking under the pressure.

Harou finally got a hit in, his fist bashing into Irasuke's face and sending him crashing into the side of a building. Irasuke jumped away from the building dodging another of Harou's attempted blows and got in a hit of his own. Harou had the wind knocked out of him from the impact of Irasuke's knee to his chest, then Harou quickly dodged another kick and sent Irasuke plummeting down to the earth.

Irasuke recovered from the blow and managed to grab a flag post jutting out from a nearby building and sprung himself back up into the air. Irasuke landed on top of the building and watched as Harou landed on the same rooftop.

They glared at each other, then all of a sudden vanished. While in midair, they rapidly exchanged blows, each clash caused small shock waves. Until Harou's fist plowed into Irasuke's stomach causing him to gag. Quickly recovering, Irasuke hit Harou in the jaw with a right hook causing Harou to lose his balance and fall down through the air. Harou was able to land on a building, but without warning, a mass of demon energy came crashing down and plowed him into the building, and causing a lot of destruction. Harou lay three floors down from the roof almost knocked out from the blow.

Harou finally sat up with his hand on his head… “Damn!” Harou got back up to his feet and jumped up through the hole in the roof and landed, then sprung back up into the air to dodge an incoming kick that pierced the air and crashed into the roof.

Harou spun around in the air to face Irasuke but was immediately sent flying into a building from an incredibly swift punch. Harou fell from the indention that he made in the building and plummeted down to a smaller building's rooftop and was knocked out from the impact.

 

When Harou reopened his eyes, he found he was staring at a foot, then he realized it was Irasuke.

Irasuke chuckled, “I could easily kill you right now…but I don't feel like that would really satisfy me. You need to feel the pain that I felt when I heard that my brother was killed, and what's worse, he was killed by a human.”

Harou could do nothing but lay there and listen and fear what Irasuke probably had in mind.

“I think I should kill someone really close to you, and then you can feel the way I did. And I know just the person, your girlfriend!”

Harou's eyes widened, and he spoke weakly, “No! You can't!”

“And why not? It's only fair, you kill my brother, I kill your girlfriend, so we'd be even”

“How…do you even know about her?”

“Oh, I've been watching you, for the past few months…I've seen you fight, I've seen what you can do, and I've seen who you care for.”

Harou couldn't imagine a life without his girlfriend, Rila. He loved her too much to let her go.

“Yes, I think I will kill her, you seem to care for her the most, and then I'll feel better knowing you'll have to live without someone you really care for.”

“NO!” Harou jumped up to his feet and tried to punch Irasuke, but it was weak, and Irasuke blocked with his hand and squeezed. Harou let out a quick, painful shrill as he crumbled to his knees, but Irasuke quickly kicked Harou hard in the stomach. Harou was automatically knocked out as he fell down and lay on his stomach.

“Sleep now, and try to have some good dreams, `cause when you wake up, you're in for a world of hurt.” Irasuke laughed, a maniacal laugh as the clouds above let out a quick flash of lightning followed by a sharp booming sound.

And as Harou slept, Irasuke started on his hunt.
