Chapter 8 : Gavin's Past - Ma-zoku vs. Ma-zoku
 
 
Gavin rushed towards Yusuke, attempting a kick to Yusuke's face. Yusuke sidestepped to Gavin's right, but Gavin punched Yusuke with his right fist. Yusuke was blasted backwards. The electricity around Gavin's fist discharged onto Yusuke, blowing him back until Yusuke hit the ground.
 
Yusuke got up, shouting “What the fuck was that?!”
 
“That was my Chaos Lightning.” Gavin said. “It takes a lot of focus to make it, but as you found out… it gets the job done. I have many more techniques like it. The Chaos Gun is just my most versatile technique. Unlike you, Yusuke, who uses all your energy towards offense, I like to save a little for defense.”
 
While Gavin was talking, Yusuke was having his spirit energy flow throughout his whole body. He charged at Gavin screaming “Let's see if you can defend against this!” Yusuke tried multiple times to hit Gavin, but Gavin just dodged. Yusuke tried tripping him with his legs. Gavin jumped into the air in order to dodge, and Yusuke shouted “Got you!” and hit Gavin in the gut with his right fist. “Spirit Wave!” Yusuke shouted as his blow connected.
 
Gavin was blasted into the air as a blue explosion of energy erupted from the point of contact. He hit the ground, apparently battered and beaten. Yusuke was grabbing his right arm, exhausted, hoping that the battle was finished.
 
 
The first demon shouted “Now's the time. Attack!” They all jumped out of hiding and ran towards Yusuke and Gavin to kill them first. Suddenly, a green blast of what looked like flame erupted and surrounded the demons, incinerating them instantly. As the blast erupted, everyone heard a shout of “Chaos Flare!” Upon hearing this, all of the unconscious combatants awoke.
 
Hanako and Kuwabara explained to them what was going on. When they all looked back at the battlefield, Gavin was standing again, with a similar green flame around his right hand. As he looked up, they saw what appeared to be tribal tatoos on his face and body.
 
Yusuke recognized them as similar to when he turned into a Ma-zoku. Gavin looked at Yusuke with an evil smile, his eyes full of intent to kill. He began speaking “Yusuke… our battle is far from over and I'm really anxious to see your blood!”
 
Yusuke didn't know how to respond. Gavin did. He rushed and punched Yusuke straight in the face, pushing him into the ground. Gavin opened his left palm and shouted “Chaos Bomb!” A green orb erupted from his palm and landed next to Yusuke. It exploded, sending Yusuke flying. When the smoke cleared, Yusuke was standing. He, too, was now in his Ma-zoku form. “Alright, if that's how you want to fight… let's get this over with!”
Both of them ran towards each other, fighting like madmen. They weren't even trying to avoid punches at this time, each of them pummeling the other in the face. The battle was going nowhere fast and Yusuke thought he might know how to end it. Once again, he began charging all his energy throughout his body. He was going to try using Spirit Wave with his demon energy. He knew if he could get it to work, it just might end this battle.
 
Gavin who seemed to be thinking about nothing at this time but the pleasure of killing, began charging that same green flame around his arm - with the green lighning around that.
 
Both connected with punches at the same time. Yusuke hitting Gavin once again in the gut and Gavin hitting Yusuke in the face. Both shouted their attack. Yusuke saying “Demon Wave!” and Gavin shouting “Abyssal Wave!” An explosion of green and red energy erupted all around them. It felt to the onlookers as if the Earth itself was being torn apart. When all was said and done, both Gavin and Yusuke were on the ground, unconscious and back to normal.
 
 
One day later - they were inside of Genkai's house. Yusuke and Gavin were still sleeping. Their injuries had been taken care of, but they had used far too much energy to be conscious. Genkai and the rest of Yusuke's group began speaking with Konryu, asking him about Gavin. He told them “Gavin was sent to me by his father around 17 years ago. He asked me to train him and raise him as my own. His father was just a regular person and didn't understand himself the kind of power that Gavin had. His mother was a demon and died giving birth. She was at Raizen's level. I don't quite remember her name. But that is why Gavin cannot control his Ma-zoku powers. His demon energy is from a great source, like Yusuke. But it's increased by exponential levels because he is a direct descendent.”
 
“ Six years after Gavin was given to me, Leo arrived. He had heard about my fighting skills and wanted to train under me. This is how Gavin and Leo met and became good friends. Then, probably around five years after that, we met Sai. He was causing trouble and Gavin beat him into the ground, for lack of a better term. Afterwards, he demanded to know how Gavin go all his power. When my name came up, he got interested and decided to stay with us.”
 
“ Then 3 years ago, when Gavin had just turned 18, he received a mission from King Yama. There was a thief in Demon World who had made off with the recently put back together Forlorn Hope. Nothing else, though. When we tracked it down, Hanako was the thief. We didn't even have to fight her. She told us if we would help rescue her friend, she would return it. We rescued her and brought the Forlorn Hope back to King Yama. A year later, Hanako showed up at the temple and asked if she could join our little group. “
 
Hanako interrupted the story, “I wanted to be closer to Gavin. He really influenced me back in Demon World. We became close, and finally became engaged.”
 
 
After Yusuke and Gavin regained consciousness, they walked out to where the rest of the group was talking. They were still apparently drowsy, as they fell over. Kayko and Hanako ran to them. Both Gavin and Yusuke said simultaneously “So, who won?”
Genkai shook her head, saying “Neither of you did. It was a tie. Why don't you all get your things and leave. I'm sure that for some of you, it would be a nice thing to get back home.”
 
They all agreed it was time to leave. As Gavin was putting his things together and putting on a new set of clothes, he looked at the back of his hand. and saw the mark had come back. The mark was very strange. It had what appeared to be a phoenix in the center of two rings. Between the rings there were seven circles. Gavin thought to himself “So, the mark on my right hand has appeared again. That's not good. I just hope it doesn't mean horrible things are coming. Let's hope this time it's a good omen.”
 
 
TO BE CONTINUED…….
 
 
 
Author's note: Mazoku7 here! Just in case you're wondering… the mark on Gavin's hand is very strange. The phoenix in the center represents destiny, while the seven circles around it represent chaos. This will have greater meaning later, but for now it's more of a paradox that Gavin and none of his friends understand. Also, I'm starting up work on a Deviant Art account so you can see a couple of pictures of my OC's and so you can get previews of what's coming next. I don't have it set up yet, so I'll give you more details once it's done. Until next time….BANG!
