Akumaru, that was the boy's name. The image in Mitch's memory began to clear off, after so many years of burying a past he thought was horrible it all came surfacing back. In his youth his parents did love him, he can't remember how his grandmother got him but there was something off about it.

And he bet that Akumaru was behind it.

"You seem so surprise," the older blood fox said. "I mean it has been a while since you have seen your own brother, after mom and dad sent us to two different guardians to take care of us." He jump down onto the ground below so he could properly size up his younger brother, he summoned two energy rings.

"You are the one that destroyed the 'copter!" Mitch said as he saw the rings, "and gave me the locket."

Akumaru shrugged. "I wanted a play thing while I was working on making the Hakke a more powerful syndicate to reckon with, but I didn't expect to be handed the chaos sword or the Black Mafia to fall apart. I wanted to mess with you in the beginning, but now you're just annoyance."

"I want to know," Mitch said. "The whole truth, what happen?"

Akumaru laughed. "Fine, here's the truth; our parents were once the leader of a crime organization, I was suppose to be the leader when I came of age, but than you were born." Akumaru cringe but continued on, "something about you they loved, something about a spark in your eyes. When I couldn't take any more I involve the Black Mafia back before Morebucks became leader, I was sent to a close friend that was in on my scheme while you were sent to grandma; I came back than killed dad and sold mom to the Black Mafia."

"WHAT!" Mitch stood there losing all senses, his mind was wondering around his brain.

"But it gets better, dear brother," Akumaru said while smiling wickedly. "Mom was bounced around as a sex slave until Morebucks took her and casted a spell to give birth to a young woman, our sister; Usagiko, and before the Majin Taisen happened I had Morebucks revive both her and dad than send them to kill you."

Mitch stood there, his entire body was weak. But in moments he snapped, there wasn't anything holding him back as he charge forward and preparing to strike high when Akumaru threw on of his rings but it was blocked. The second attack aimed at the throat but Akumaru blocked it, Mitch disengage the reiken and went below the ring while reengaging the energy sword. But Akumaru was allowed for an easy strike against Mitch's knee, even though it was a scratch.

The blade went through the shoulder as Mitch pressed his own shoulder into Akumaru's chest and, despite the pain in his leg, forced the older blood fox to back into a hill than pulled out the sword to perform a downward slash that took off Akumaru's left arm. Mitch summoned his aura shield and try to press into the other blood fox, but Akumaru summoned his own shield and they clashed.

Sparks flew everywhere as the two fought for suprimicy. "Murdering freak!" Mitch shouted. "I had years of pain and misery I lived with, and you know what pain you caused everyone? You deserve to die."

"I can use your rage, dear brother," Akumaru said while smiling despite the missing arm. "I can use it against you, no matter how much power you have I will prevail because I, dear Mitch, have learn a few things."

Akumaru's puplis became slits as the aura shield shot out in the form of spikes, Mitch leap back but was hit in the wounded leg again; he fell down but rolled away as more aura spikes came down to here he was.

Pushing off the ground while rolling Mitch landed on his feet, he wench when he felt the pain but manage to endure.

Akumaru charge forward after grabbing his energy rings, he swipe upward once and caught Mitch in the chest than downward to get his forearm. But somehow the young boy manage to keep his strength up, He moved as Akumaru plunged the rings into where he was standing.

Mitch dived into shadows for a moment of rest but emerged again as the older blood fox went in for a kill, he manage to nip his younger brother's neck and wing a shoulder.

Mitch fell onto his knees, both combatants were losing a huge about of blood. But nether will give up. That's when Mitch stood up, he was very weak; so much he could barely stand.

"Okay," Mitch said. "We're both to injured to fight any more, we tired, bleeding and we're running low on energy; so how about this, one last move, winner take all."

Akumaru laughed, "intereging, I except."

Mitch took a stance feeding all of his power into the sword, it crackle with power as it grew an extra two feet and the blade turned red; it was called a reinodachi. Akumaru held up his hand and allowed the two rings to float around his wrist where they began to shrink and tighten a little. It took on a form of a duel edge sword, he stared at Mitch as Mitch stared back.

They charged forward and raise their blades, time slowed as they both crossed pathes and stopped after. The entire area was silent as they allowed time to catch up.

It was over, Akumaru fell to the ground bleeding. Mitch sense something was off about this, something unreal. If he turned his head he would have seen the real Akumaru standing behind him with his energy rings. With a slight flick of the wrist the two rings flew too the younger boy.

"You're right," he said as he turn away with a wicked smile. "Age and treachery will over come skill and cunning." He laughed, his brother had fallen for a kyou ningyou (mirror doll); a straw doll energized and "program" into doing specific things. Walked up the gate back to his world, in his hand was a special reiken, one that could slice a entire mountain in two without even trying.

He stopped at where the gate was and looked up, he dark smile faded away as his eyes widen. He jerked his head toward the battle scene and almost cried out in rage and fear; there was two broke straw dolls laying on the ground. He stood there where the gate was, over the hills the inhabitants of hell were coming.

He engaged the reiken and prepared himself as the jagged teeth and sharp claws of hell came for him.

Mitch had created the illusion when he sensed his brother in a different area, he used the kyou ningyou than slipped off while in the shadows to the gate where he needed Blossom's help to get out of (he jump as high as he can and she catches what she can, painfully it was his fingers.) Afterwards he would sit in the corner (staring and wiggling his fingers) while Blossom walk to the alter.

"Just rub off a symbol," Mitch said making sure nothing was broken.

Blossom looked around and figured on using her sleeve to remove one of the symbols, within seconds the gate slowly disappeared with a light wisp. As soon as it was gone she walked over to Mitch and slap his arm. "What the hell were you thinking?"

"I don't!" Mitch said playfully. "Well, I solved a important part of my life. Plus I learn that maybe I should get use to peeing in a bucket when you're finish with me."

"Damn straight," Blossom said as she lean close. "Since you went in something has been happening, there's been jets and 'copters lifting off with a lot of shouting than everything went quite."

"Really?" Mitch said, he used the wall to push himself off the floor and stumble around to the hallway. Blossom, despite her anger, help him to limp out of the temple to a strange sight. The entire area was empty of living guards and there were no vehicles anywhere, they were ready for any traps as they walk down the stairs.

Nothing happened and only the wind was moving in the area, the duo walked out there into a new era of their lives. But Mitch came back a few seconds later, he was disconnecting the nintendo from the tv and storing it into the box.

"Spoils of war?" Blossom asked while she help with the box.

"It's a working 1980's Nintendo, no way in hell am I going to leave it behind."

"You're so immature," Blossom said.

"You're the one helping me," Mitch joked. While he may have learn something very shocking it was kind of nice to have someone to lean on, he tell her the whole story when they got home, but at the moment he was enjoying the banter.
