《True Essence》Let me handle it
Advertisement
Gen approached the counter and asked, "Are you going to tell me, or am I going to have to ask one of the customers?", Anna then said with the most natural face possible, "Tell what Gen?", and Raja then said, "That's right Gen, what do you mean tell? We don't have anything to tell. It's not like we did anything wrong." Gen then turned to him, and Anna said, "I'm going to help Balkan prepare the dishes in the kitchen, make yourselves at home." and Raja then said, "Do you want me to help you with anything Miss Anna? I hate standing around, anything will do.", "No need Raja, you can just sit there. You might as well take a moment and talk to Gen. After all, you two seem to have a lot of catching up to do after this week of not talking."
Raja, hearing this, turned pale and thought, 'Damn, what do I do now?', and then Gen said, "Hey, Raja, what's up?", "Gen, I don't know what you're talking about.", "Raja, let's get on with it. I know you did something to make Lina like this. Now tell me what it was, so we can get to the bottom of this.", "Fine, but I need you to understand that it was never my intention for things to reach this point.", "Okay, now tell me what happened.", "Well, while you were passed out, I told Lina's parents what happened between you and her in front of the restaurant, and I may have exaggerated a little bit to make the story a little more interesting, but I swear I didn't say all those things you are saying."
Raja then continued, "Like how you and Lina are a couple." Gen then asked, "You didn't say that one?", "No, I did.", "So you said the worst one.", "No Gen, there are some much worse ones than that.", "Worse ones than that? Like what?", "There's a rumor going around that you're only with Lina because she got pregnant with you.", "What?! There's a rumor like that? That's absurd.", "Yeah, tell me about it. I'm pissed off about this rumor too. It's not like you're only with her because of that. That day, I clearly saw love in that kiss you exchanged, and I'm not usually wrong about that.", " What, are you believing the part that says I got Lina pregnant?"

Raja then said, "Gen, you can't blame me. After seeing how you were that day in front of the restaurant, I couldn't be sure it was a lie, after all these things happen. You're there in the heat of the moment, and the next thing you know, you've gone too far, and there's no turning back.", Gen then said, "You make it sound like you've been through something like that.", "Me? Pfft, are you kidding Gen? If there's one thing I'm careful about in this life, it's that.", "Then how come you know so much?", "It's because I've lost several party friends to this, and until just now I thought I was going to lose you too. You don't know how happy I am. Come here, give me a hug to celebrate.", "Shut up, I'll deal with you later, right now I have to talk to Lina."
Gen then gets up and goes toward Lina, and everyone starts looking in his direction. He then walks over to her, and she says, "Didn't I tell you not to come near me?" Gen then closes his eyes, and after a few seconds opens them and says, "Endless world.", and then the whole bar starts to expand, to the point where he and Lina are alone. Gen then said, "Now no one will get in our way." and Lina then said, "You wish. You're only going to make things worse.", "Calm down Lina, I know these rumors must be getting on your nerves, but there's nothing we can do. We'll have to slowly convince them that everything is a lie.", "Hahaha, good luck! You don't know how hard I tried this week, and no matter how much I told the truth, no one believed me!"
She then continued, "I'm not talking to my mom, nor my dad, unless it's extremely necessary, and I swear if Raja wasn't at the level of Influence, I would have killed him at least five times already.", "Are things that bad?", "You don't even know, Gen. I've heard so much this week, I feel like beating the crap out of all of them, to say the least.", "If we ignore them, won't these rumors stop?", "And you think I haven't tried to ignore them, Gen? It is easy to do this in the first days, but as time goes by and you realize that every day the rumors get worse, there comes a point where no one can stand it. You were lucky to get a week's sleep. Otherwise you'd be like I am now, not wanting to look you in the face."

Gen then said, "... You're right Lina. This week must have been really hard on you, but I had an idea.", "It's no use Gen, I've tried everything. There's no way to stop these rumors.", "Calm down Lina. For starters, I'm not talking about the rumors. I was thinking that we could go to Oasis with the guys, like you wanted to do for my birthday last year.", Lina then looked wide-eyed and said, "That's not a bad idea, but if we both go together, there's sure to be someone telling lies about us, and I'm already at my limit, depending on what I hear, I might explode, and then not even my mother will be able to hold me without fainting me, and you know I don't fall easily.", "Don't worry about the rumors. I'll find a way to stop them."
Lina then said, "I told you Gen, I've tried everything, and nothing works. There's no way to stop the rumors." Gen then said, "Don't worry about it. Just go get the guys, and leave the rest to me.", ".... Okay. I don't know what you intend to do, but I will believe you.", "Thank you.", "Ah, afterwards you and I will have to talk about the fact that you have hidden the fact that you have another essence.", "... So the raja told you that I have three essences, I planned to tell you at some point, but-", "Wait a minute. You have three essences? I thought you had two.", "Hey, didn't the Raja tell you that?", "He didn't tell me that. It was my parents.", "Your parents? And how did they know I had another essence?"
Lina then said, "Well, they said they always knew because of the mist in your body.", Gen then said, "Mist?", "Don't you know what it is? It's like something that constantly stays around your body when you awaken an essence.", "Ah! That's what you're talking about. That makes sense. They would obviously be able to see it, even if I used it quickly.", "They told me that you are very good at controlling the mist. How did you learn to do that?", "My master taught me.", "Master?", "Yes, my spear master.", "He must be a very strong person. My parents said he must be at least a King to have trained you to the point you are now.", "He really is ... but let's not talk about him now. Another time I'll tell you more."
Lina then said, "Ok, then we'll continue this later.", "Yes, let me get things back to normal.", the restaurant then began to return to normal, and after a few seconds everything went back to the way it was. Lina and Gen then appeared together where they were, and then everyone looked in their direction. Lina then said, "After work I'll talk to the guys then Gen. Good luck trying to solve these rumors." "Don't worry." Lina then went back to taking the order from the tables, and everyone then looked surprised at Gen, and then some started to say, "No wonder Gen is dating her. He seems to know how to calm her down.", "That's true. Now that he has an essence, it seems that Lina respects him more.", one person then shouted, "Good one Gen, hahaha."
Gen then looked at everyone in the bar, and then pulled a chair up to the middle of it, and sat there backwards with his chest touching the back of the chair. He then said, 'Eli.', 'This is Gen. Is something wrong?', 'It's no big deal, but I need you to release Light for me for a minute.', '... Gen, you know I can't release it all the time. It could end up affecting your brother.', 'Don't worry, I'll be quick. I just need to clear a few things up.', '... Ahh! Alright, but don't overdo it.', 'You got it.'. Eli then released Light from the seal, and after a few seconds she asked, 'What happened Gen?', 'Nothing much, I just need your help to teach some people a lesson.', 'Teach a lesson?! Like in the old days?', 'Yes!', 'How much force should I use? Is fifty percent okay?', 'No. This situation has gone much further than it should have. Let's go all out!", 'All out?! Are you sure Gen?', 'Yes.', 'Hahahahahaha! Come on then! It may only be for a short while, but it's been so long since I've used all of me, I can't stop smiling just thinking about it!'

Demon Blade
Ryuken is your average 15-year old high schooler, living his life in an ordinary way, until he comes across a mysterious katana and is pulled into the world of unbelievable supernatural.An anime-inspired passion project of mine, sparked from my childhood love of shounen anime. I have big plans for this world but we'll see if I get to stick around long enough to finish it.Enjoy! Notes: 1. My writing style is mostly script-like with some 3rd person-ish narrative sprinkled in, and it is VERY dialogue-heavy. 2. It can be pretty slow, as I tend to focus more on characters rather than action. 3. Since the story is set in Japan with Japanese characters, I will be using Japanese honorifics whenever the characters are interacting with each other. To learn more about Japanese Honorifics, you can go to this website here. I apologize if I used them wrongly, or if I forgot to use them from time to time, or if it turns you off. 4. I don't have a fixed release schedule as I don't have time to write regularly at the moment. I may update tomorrow or next year. Who knows. I'm like your dad who's gone to the store for some milk. I'll be back. Cover Source
