Sirius’s wounds start to heal themselves, despite the fact he should be dead. Kogo reacts quickly and plugs the holes with his bone to stop it from healing.

Kogo: You guys go on ahead, I'll make sure this guy can't move if he's not gonna die, or at least wait until he bleeds out.

Creit: Ok.

--- Chapter 43 ---

Luna: Come here, I have some bandages.

Red: No, I'm fine, really.

She starts to grab for his hand that appears injured.

Luna: Come on haha, just let me bandage you up.

Red: No, haha, I'm fine.

Luna grabs his hand and brings it in. She realizes she is holding his hand and they both pull away acting awkward.

Sunna: Hehehe. Young love, what a beautiful and delectable thing.

They both swiftly look up and see Sunna sitting on the roof, legs dangling off the edge.

Red: Are you Tenyi?!

Luna: That's not what that was (>.<).

Sunna: Obviously. Now it's time to make you a worthy sacrifice. Cerberus, mutilate them!

Three large hounds come out of nearby alleyways. Red summons his sword. The hounds begin to circle them. Gadreel appears on her shoulder.

Luna: You ready Gadreel?

Gadreel: Hell yah miss Luna.

Luna runs over to a hound, even before Red, which surprised him. Gadreel leaps in and summons a small sword. Gadreel stabs the sword into the dog.

Luna: Yah! You got this!

Gadreel pulls the sword out and goes to stab it again. It swings its head around, biting Gadreel, and flings him into a wall. Gadreel hits the wall and gets knocked out, making him disperse holy energy.

Red: Luna, I'm getting the feeling we are outclassed. We have to go find the nine.

Luna: Right.

They quickly head over to an alleyway and start to run down it. It's a narrow alleyway with multiple parts branching off to other alleyways. But before they make it to the end, Sunna falls and lands in front of them, a smile still on her face. They start to turn backwards, but spot the three dogs coming from behind, they get close together and form into a three headed dog.

Red: Looks like we no longer have a choice. I’ll take the dog, you take the summoner.

Red runs towards the dog and begins slashing. The dog leaps backwards and bites forward. Red barely dodges, and the sword circles around his hand.

Red: Improvised! Dragon Fist Feast!

He punches forward, hand dispersing into multiple dragon fist and homing in. The middle dog's head howls, the waves of its howl visible. The hands disperse into magical energy. The dog leaps forward faster than before and lands on Red, repeatedly biting him. Luna looks back to see Red get taken down. She looks forward and as she does, Sunna lifts her finger, displaying a ring. Multiple ghost-like hands sprout from the shadows, restraining Luna in an instant. Luna struggles a bit, but it's futile. Sunna tils her hand down, showing her pinkish red nails with a black dot in the center. The black dot begins to move around creating a symbol of a hound. It glows and a new hellhound is summoned. It starts to walk towards Luna, with a hungry look in its eyes. The silence is broken by foot steps. Luna and Sunna look to its origins. A smaller figure is seen in the shadows. It grabs its wrist.

Click

With a flash the figure is bigger and stronger. A bug scuttles through.

Sole: Hm. What do we have here? As I expected, a Tenyi.

He starts walking towards Sunna. He lifts his hand up, and a glow begins to sprout from it. The arms restraining Luna burn and disintegrate.

Sole: Someone who relies on another to fight, is nothing but a weakling. A stepping stone for those with real streng.

The new hellhound jumps in to bite Sole. Sole brings his hand to the side, hitting the hound. It goes flying through a wall, the building shakes as if it might fall.

Sole: Hurting my dear friend Red, and my guildmates is unforgivable. I will not strike your face as you're a lady. So take my gracious kindness to heart.

Luna sees Sole preparing a punch, and gets the feeling this punch is more then her opponent can take. Sunna falls to her knees before his godly visage. Luna runs in front of Sole before he can punch.

Luna: STOP!

Sole: Hm?

Luna: I know she's evil but I can't let you kill her. Yes she harms people greatly but, it just won't sit well with me. Please. I don't want to harm any life no matter who it is.

Sole: If that's what you wish. I will humble your answer. So rejoice.

Luna: Thanks Sole.

Sole: But I will need to do some precautions.

Sole looks over at Red, still struggling with Cerberus.

Sole: Sun Style: Sunrise ball.

A small sun appears in his hand, and he throws it at Cerberus. It doesn't stand a chance as the ball's speed is incomprehensible. It hits Cerberus and it disappears instantly. Sole looks back at the horrified and trembling Sunna. Her face filled with fear and masochistic pleasure. Sole grabs her hand.

Sole: So you summon with your nails. I apologize, I do not wish to deface you but it must be done.

Sole grabs her fingernail, and one by one rips them out. Sunna is in pain, but is blushing from immense masochism. Luna has to look away, but she knows it's the only way to disarm her, without physically “dis-arming” her. Sole then grabs her by the neck and slams her against a wall.

Sunna: Kinky hehe.

Sole: …

Sole has both a confused and uncomfortable face on. With his left hand he grabs a pipe on the building and brings it across her neck, but loose enough to breath. He does this with her hands as well. She struggles momentarily before realizing it's futile.

Sunna: Guess I will just have to wait for Astra.

She manages to squeak out with the bars pressing on her throat. Luna begins to bandage Red up.

Red: Guess I need it now heh.

Luna: Yah you do, dummy.

Sole: You two keep going, I'm going to follow this bug.

Sole starts to follow a little bug along, Red and Luna give him a weird look, as this muscular man scuttles along slowly after this bug, looking right down on it. They then look at each other and just laugh.
