Chapter 6: Scarlet

(I'd like to give a shout-out to Microsoft Word for not telling me that I had been spelling 'reign' wrong the ENTIRE time, like I knew it looked weird (the way I was spelling it) but it never told me I was wrong...)

Ibushi was panicking...where was the heir!? Gora was out searching for him and Akoya was looking at Ibushi. "Why weren't his guardians watching him!?" He yelled, "They were here!"

"Akoya, a monster was sent and they were defending the castle from it." Ibushi told him and Akoya growled, "Well!"

"Calm down." Kinshiro frowned, "The heir is missing and we need to find him." He looked up as Atsushi walked in, "At-chan!" He gasped, "Have you found him yet?"

Atsushi shook his head, "No...En-chan and I have searched for him everywhere..."

"At-chan, don't worry yourself, We'll find him."

"Kin-chan..." he frowned and Kinshiro smiled, "Yumoto is strong, and we'll be able to find hi-"

"The prince is missing!" Wombat yelled, "The twins took him!"

Ibushi let out a gasp and turned to Akoya, "Go get Sulfur and Vesta! All of the Battle Lovers...and us, the Caerula Adamas, need to rescue him. NOW."

Akoya nodded and in a flash of bright pink, he was gone. Kinshiro looked at Ibushi and pulled his rapier out, "We will find him...I swear!"

Ibushi smiled, even though Kinshiro was the leader of their group, Kinshiro didn't mind (well he usually does mind) that he took control this time. "Let's go." He spoke as Akoya appeared back with Io and Ryuu.

Yumoto whimpered in his unconscious state and Haruhiko smirked as he looked at him. The heir was out of his crystal prison and laying down on a slab now.

"Haru..." Akihiko spoke sharply, "Don't bother him. Kinosaki-kun told us not to...if we do, he may wake up."

The two then gasped out as Yumoto's eyes popped open...and they began to glow bright red. "I-It's Scarlet!" Haruhiko gasped and Scarlet growled, "You two...are you stupid? If that demon is brought forth, then the world is doomed! You shall never get Maximum Gorar and you will be dead. All of us will be dead."

"Don't listen to him." Kou growled and Scarlet turned to him, "You! You shall have a fate worse than death itself! You would rather die than have what I will bring upon you!"

"Now, now, that's not how a god should act!" Kou laughed and Scarlet growled, "Do you really think that demon would want you to live?! He is only using you and your partner for his resurrection. Once the demon is resurrected than you two will both die! I can already foresee it!"

"Now, the fearless God of Love is trying to bargain with me?" He smirked, "I still say that you're going to be killed!" He then paled as Scarlet made Yumoto stand and he gasped as Scarlet's figure appeared beside him. "Now, Kinosaki Kou...you need to know that you truly mean NOTHING to it. I don't want you to die from the hand of a demon!"

Yumoto then clutched at his head as he blinked a few times, and Scarlet disappeared. He gasped out as his knees collapsed onto the ground. He looked up in fear and began to struggle as the twins grabbed him.

"Put him back up there, let's get rid of him already." Kou growled and Yumoto began to scream and kick. "LET GO OF ME! I'M ROYALTY!!"

Usually, Yumoto didn't care that people didn't treat him like the prince he was, but today, he did. They needed to treat him better!

Yumoto whimpered as the twins chained his wrists down and Kou smiled, "Scarlet, the demon lord will reign and you and your guardians will have failed their mission."

Yumoto looked at him, "You can't kill me!"

"Too bad...you're the final sacrifice needed!" Kou growled and Yumoto looked at Masuya, "Please! My brother will give you whatever you want if you let go of me!"

Kou rolled his eyes and pulled out a small book. Yumoto's eyes widened as he began to read from it. "STOP! STOP!" Yumoto yelled, he recognized what he was saying, Io had taught him the languages of the past. He may have not payed attention in those classes but he could recognize it.

Haruhiko smirked as the younger one began to glow. "Lord Hireashi, take this sacrifice of the next God of Love!"

"Hold it right there!" Kinshiro yelled and pointed his sword at Kou. Kou turned to him, "Who are you!?"

"I'm the Golden Chevalier, Shinning in Radiance, Aurite!"

Kou froze...the Caerula Adamas were not to ever be messed with. How did they know the next God of Love...?

Akoya growled at him, "You're wanting to resurrect Hireashi? Don't you know that he was a fish when Maximum Gorar defeated him when Prince Scarlet was only five years old?"

"W-what?"

"It's true." Ibushi replied, "Now let Scarlet go. Or we'll use force."

Kou gulped as he looked at the sword in front of him and nodded, "O-okay! I-I'll stop the ritual!" He yelled and Akihiko frowned as Yumoto stopped glowing. "Haru...let's go."

Haruhiko nodded and the duo teleported away. Kou smirked and Ibushi gasped as the ground began to shake. "You...you sped up the ritual..."

Akoya growled and grabbed Kou by his shirt. "YOU! You will face Maximum Gorar and he will kill you!"

Ibushi and Kinshiro began to undo the chains from Yumoto's wrists and Atsushi let out a gasp, "YUMOTO!"

"At-chan...! He's still alive...we need to get him back now!" Kinshiro yelled and Akoya growled and Kou gasped out as the youngest Caerula Adamas member punched him hard.

Masuya gasped and ran over to Kou after Akoya let go of him. The two gasped as Ibushi used his powers to chain them up. Io and Ryuu struggled to pick Yumoto up and they looked at Akoya, "Let's go, Gero!" Ryuu yelled and Akoya nodded, "Of course."

Kou growled and Io gasped out as a figure appeared beside Kou and Masuya, "We need to hurry! That demon is appearing now! It'll kill us all if we don't leave now, Kinugawa-senpai!"

Ibushi gasped as the chains fell from the duo and Kinshiro growled, "Hireashi isn't a fish this time...we must leave!"

Just as he said that, a light surrounded all of them and they disappeared.

Ibushi held onto Yumoto's hand as Kurou began to check him.

"Argent, he'll make it." He explained and Ibushi nodded, "Thank you."

Kurou left and Ibushi sighed as he looked down at Yumoto, "Little One...I heard Scarlet had awakened inside of you...I'm so proud of you." He whispered and looked up as Atsushi and En came in.

"Arima-san, is he okay?" Atsushi whispered and Ibushi nodded, "Yes. He's just sleeping now. The ritual just used his powers...they would have killed him if we had not intervened."

Atsushi nodded and Ibushi looked down, "Kinshiro is telling Gora-san about it...we might have a war on our hands."
