Hi there! I'm back, and as I promised here is the second part to 1st Date! 1st Kiss? I'm so sorry it took so long but school stole most of my time for some weeks.

Disclamer: I only own the character I created for this.

Opening song

This Fanfic goes to Hikari no Okami, my gorgeous beta reader and also grammar, and style corrector. Thanks for bearing with me bothering you all the time.

Bloody Shadows

They reached the entrance to the base, entering through an opening at the foot of the cliffs on top of which was the massive castle-like fortress imposing. They entered running inside the huge maze of tunnels that ran below the building, Yuji, carring Blutsauger on his back, leading the group; Wilhelmina slightly behind and left, wearing Tiamat; Margery, with Marchosias under her arm, was besides Wilhelmina; behind them Lamies, the spiral organ, wearing his usual outfit, leaded the trio of Kazumi, bow in hand; Eita wooden sword ready, and Keisaku, scrolls on the belt and ready to be used; with Khamsin covering them from the rear.

"I feel uneasy with the geezers behind us" said Margery

"It will be ok, don't worry, with Kazumi-san and those two covering us and Lamies leading them we won't have any troubles controlling Khamsin's attacks" replied Yuji with a serene tone in his voice

He has matured a lot in this travel, I hate to admit it, but maybe under his leadership, this rescue mission will go to a happy ending. You have found yourself a fair mate, Hunter of the red hot…no, Shana thought Wilhelmina

Os iusti meditabitur sapientiam

The Mouth of Justice meditates wisdom

They kept running for several minutes, exploring the tunnels, guided by Wilhelmina, until they reached a large cave, with a subterranean pond in it, with numerous tunnels going out from it in all directions

"Stop here! This room...I don't remember this place de arimasu"

"Ok then, hold it here, we must find our route first, Kazumi-san could you please help us with that unrestricted method?"

"Yuji I've tell you to cut the 'san' already! How many times should I say it to you?"

"Maybe, just once more Kazumi-san?" Yuji replied half playing half ashamed

"Pf! You are hopeless!" Putting her hands together as if she were praying. Kazumi started to manipulate some power of existence and directed it to her eyes, marking them glow slightly

In that moment two handfuls of rinne with the form of winged beings of light, appeared all around them, emerging from the floor and the ceiling of the cave.

"We have got company" stated Lamies

"We've got eyes! We noticed already! Thank you!" Keisaku said a little pissed "I hate these things! I'm not good at this"

"We will handle these things; you guys keep going and get to Yukari-san! Quickly!" ordered Eita "Ane-san! We'll make you proud"

"Then I'll stay too, we three are a team" Stated Kazumi

"No, you can't" Rejected Keisaku

"You are needed to guide'em" Explained Eita

"You guys better join us after you finish here" said Margery

"Don't you dare to die here!" threatened them Marchosias will his usual playful tone

"Yuji, the third tunnel to our right, that's the way we must follow!" Stated Kazumi

"All right, we will leave these enemies to you guys. Let's move out!" Finished Yuji running towards the tunnel, the rest of the company followed him, leaving Eita and Keisaku to fight against the rinne.

Keisaku pulled out some scrolls from his belt while Eita held his wooden sword high in the air with both hands

"These are only rinne right Eita?"

"So it seems, it shouldn't be that hard to defeat them"

After he finished that statement a rinne flew to attack them, but with a quick reaction, Keisaku threw a scroll that found its mark on the forehead of the rinne, which exploded violently after that.

"That can't be good!" Eita's tone denoted his worry

"No! Really!? If those things hit us we are out!"

A second later all of the remaining rinne charged attacking the pair

……………………………………………………….

Yuji and the others heard the sound of a big explosion behind them, and after that only silence

"That came from where we left Eita and Keisaku! We have to go back Yuji!" Pleaded Kazumi

"I don't think we should" Hurried to say Khamsin in his usual tone

"If we return we will lose the time they bought us" Said Tiamat with a cold tone

"But..." Tried to reply Kazumi but Margery interrupted her

"If we go back now, that means that we have no trust in them"

"She is right Kazumi-san, we have to keep moving. Have trust in them, and also in your own abilities" Yuji's voice sounded very comforting

"…Yes you are right, sorry, let's keep going"

They kept running guided by Kazumi and Wilhelmina, until they reached a stairs carved out in the stone of the cave that went up into the surface. Without losing a second they ran up the stairs and reached a huge grass plain with a castle on the distance.

"So this is the Tendokyu; where Shana lived all of her childhood" Said Yuji we are coming Shana, we are almost there

"It has been ages, since I was last here; I never imagined I would come back and fight here again" Said Lamies with a somewhat sorrowful tone

"But we must remember that they are here, the Tendokyu is their base now, de arimasu"

"Kept your guard up" Recommended Tiamat to everyone

Suddenly Behemont felt something approaching them at a great speed. "They are coming" Khamsin's words triggered them; they took a circular formation as fast as they could, with Kazumi in the middle.

"Where are they?!" Margery was looking for their enemy all around without any luck

And just as if answering Margery's question a huge energy blasted its way out of the floor below them, and made them flew in all directions, around the area, scattering them.

Lamies, who reacted fast enough to cast a spell that allowed him to flew into the air had Kazumi in his arms, carrying her bridal style.

"Are you alright, miss?" He asked

"Yes thank you, what was that?"

"An offensive unrestricted method"

"But who used it?"

"That man down there" finished Lamies with a serious tone

They descended near the area of the attack, which now was covered by a huge cloud of dust

"I see your reputation is well deserved, Spiral Organ, sir" An elegant and respectful, male voice came out from the cloud

"Who are you?" Asked Lamies with a menacing tone

"Please, excuse my ill manners, my name is Hono, and I'm also a member of this fine…organization"

The cloud got carried away by the wind revealing a man of tanned skin and black hair, dressed in a red robe, with a naginata in his hands, the edge of the weapon styled like a fire.

"You are with the people who kidnapped Yukari-chan?!" Kazumi was still unable to control her anger whenever that group where mentioned

"Little miss stay behind me, this is no weak Tomogara" Lamies took a step to put Kazumi between himself and Hono.

"Even if you try to protect her, sir, the outcome will be the same, because I'll get her after I defeat you"

"Let us see if you can support those words with actions" Challenged Lamies

With a quick movement of his hand, Hono attacked Lamies with a ray of fire, but the old man stopped the attack using only the palm of his hand.

"You will have to use more power to defeat me" threaten Lamies

"Oh! I will! Don't worry!" replied Hono smiling mischievously. An enormous power of existence accumulated in Hono's hands as a blue insignia appeared at his feet

He is going to use a very powerful unrestricted method; I must stop him before it's too late! Lamies knew that if that amount of energy were to hit either Kazumi or himself it would be the end. But before he could do something the amount of energy his enemy had accumulated started to blow a powerful wind that restricted his movements, and forced him to put all of his focus on not being tripped by the force.

"If you try to avoid this attack, it will hit the girl, but if you try to endure it, the weak body of that torch you are using will be torn apart, what will you do? If you evade it, I'll be hopeless to your attack but that girl will surely die. It's your decision sir"

The wind increased in power blowing Lamies hat off his head as the power gathering for the unrestricted method completed. Putting his hands together in front of his chest, Hono launched all the power he had against Lamies and Kazumi. The power on existence flew assuming the form of a gigantic snake of fire.

I can't let her die, I have to do something!

Lamies tried to prepare a defense but he was unable to finish it before the attack reached his position, the fire snake bitted his shoulder consuming its whole body in a bone fire while Kazumi witnessed the macabre spectacle.

Nothing remained from the Corpse Retriever. Hono advanced towards Kazumi who was paralyzed in terror with tears in her eyes, she felt to her knees, hopeless

I'm going to die! This man will kill me! This man will kill me!...Ike-kun!

Et lingua eius loquetur indicium

And His language, the tongue is made clear

…………………………………….

Except for the fountain of glowing blue water, there was no other light source in the room. A naked girl of red hair with ambers around it was vertically floating above the water, resting peacefully in fetal position with a necklace in her hands. Around that same fountain, several shadowy figures were watching her

"It seems Hono is having fun" Said a young man

"That guy sure can't wait" It was a mature woman voice now

"Merihim-chan! Merihim-chan! Can we greet our guests nya?" Asked a girl

"…Misssstesssss…" The voice sounded like a whistle of the wind

"He came" A deep voice of a man resounded in the room

"Shiro-kun, let us go already! I'm boring! " The playful voice of a teenager girl demanded

"Go, but let the Mistes alive, I have other plans for him" ordered Shiro We will meet again Mathilde, hold on

Beatus vir qui suffert tentationem

Bless man which suffers temptation

……………………………….

"Wake up" Tiamat ordered an unconscious Wilhelmina

The maid dressed woman came to her senses and quickly regained her feet

"We appear to have been send to west wing de arimasu" She said after noticing the proximity of the castle, which was only 20 yards from her position, sadly the only thing the castle showed her was a sturdy wall "The best approach is to jump the wall to the ceiling and reach the other side, we can enter from there de arimasu"

"Affirmative" agreed Tiamat

"Sssstop" A voice that sounded like the wind called the attention of the Flame Haze "Sssssorry but you won't go ahead" A slim figure wearing a metallic armor that covered all its body was sitting, in a similar way than an animal would do it; on the edge of the ceiling, four swords floating at it side, and two long barbed chains moved all around it

"You won't hold me here de arimasu"

The tomogara in metallic armor jumped trying to crush Wilhelmina with its feet, but the flame haze dodged the tall body of the armor with ease the tall body of the armor jumping few feet backwards. As the armor landed on the ground it broke the ground below releasing a small cloud of dust, it stood up quickly and, without moving a finger, it made the swords attack the woman in front of her. She tried to stop the swords with her ribbons but the keen edge of the sword made its way easily cutting them through

"Evasive actions" Suggested Tiamat

But before she was able to flee from the attack both chains bonded her wrists

"Grappled de arimasu" Wilhelmina eyes widened at the vision of the swords flying directly to her stomach

Quoniqm cum probates fuerit accipient coronam vitae

Since, he, with striving, will have received life's crown

……………………………………..

Yuji woke up, dazzled; apparently he had lost consciousness due to the attack. He looked around, but found no one. The location he was standing was different from the one where they were attacked.

"Probably the attack sent me flying all the way here"

He analyzed the environs: Apparently he had flown in the direction of the castle, because it was closer now; the grassy plains still extended long in all directions except the way to the castle, he couldn't see anything nor anyone behind him, so he supposed that the distance between those that were scattered by the enemy was to large to walk it looking for the others, his only option now, was to enter the castle and try to rescue Shana. Thus he did, but as soon as he reached the area surrounding the building a silhouette came out of it. It was a tall and skinny young man, of short messy black hair and eyes with glasses, pale skin, and bearing a nice short smile, his eyes were closed.

"Oh my! Yuji how good to see you here! It's been a long time! How have you been?" The newcomer greeted Yuji as one who reencounters with an old friend

"Tesuka?! What are you doing here?!" Asked Yuji back

"Well, it seems my head slipped something again didn't it? Did I forgot to mention that…well obviously I did, otherwise you wouldn't ask why I'm here would you?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh! Well what I'm saying is that…I'm the one who kidnapped your little girlfriend" Tesuka replied as if he was talking about the weather

"WHAT?! That's impossible! You…You are my friend! You saved my life once! You can't be with them"

"Why, of course I'm your friend!" the smile widened showing the truth of his words

"Then why did you say you took Shana?"

"You see, some friends and I need her power and the power of the Celestial Flame"

"So it is true after all, please! Give Shana back!"

"Oh! I'm sorry Yuji, but I'm afraid I can't just do that"

"Why?"

"It's nothing personal really, but this is business, and I take business very seriously you know? I can't give her back until we obtain what we need from her, I'd rather not fight you, so please, forfeit"

"What? You are asking me to leave just like that?! Forget about Shana? Of all the people I know, I never expected you to be our enemy" Yuji took Blutsauger from his back, and wielded it in front of Tesuka.

"I see, so you are serious about this eh?"

"You bet"

"It's so sad you now see me as your enemy, but if that's how it is…" Tesuka opened his eyes to reveal a malignant glance.

A blue insignia appeared in the grass few feet away from Tesuka: a big dragon came out of it, growling and stretching it wings.

"I'd like to introduce you to my friend, Thalass, here"

"What in the…!"

"Thalass" Tesuka tone became serious "Get him"

The dragon following the order opened its jaws and released a cone of flames, that enveloped Yuji; but it failed to damage him

Saved by the anti-fire ring! Yuji was thanking that he still kept the ring

"I see…I see! You are fire proof! That neutralizes the stronger power of my dragon! It's a shame its claws are mortal too"

Thalass advanced against Yuji trying to claw him, but he dodged the attack by an inch, thus making it hit the ground, leaving a deep cut in it

"Those claws are very dangerous, and with its size I can't get near without risking to being hit" Said Yuji to himself

"Would you stop fighting now? You have no chance against me, please" Tesuka asked once more

"Never"

"…"

Thalass tripped Yuji with a tail sap, and throw itself to crush him with his size. Yuji prepared for his sure death.

Kyrie, ignis divine, eleison

Oh Lord, Fire Divine, have mercy!

…………………………………

Using an acrobatic maneuver Margery recovered from the explosion in midair and after moving several seconds in the air without control she opened Marchosias to manage a decent landing near an aqueduct in the southwest corner of the plateau

"HAAAAAAAAAAE! What a dangerous unrestricted method!"

"Tsk! I can't believe he got us with just that!" Margery was seriously pissed now

"However you should worry about the opponent you have in front of you, rather than the one that's killing the Spiral Organ"

A fair looking man approached Margery, apparently he was coming from the castle

"It cannot be, you are…" Started Marchosias

"Merihim, the rainbow swordsman" Completed Margery

"You were supposed to be dead, some time ago now" stated the crimson lord

"The chanter of elegies, and claws and fangs of violation." Shiro said a little disappointed when he recognized who he was going to fight "Well as you can see I'm not dead"

"We will fix that right away!" raising her right hand in the air purple flames engulfed the blond woman transforming her in a large purple wolverine like creature

"Ha,ha,ha! Show him your terrible powers! My gorgeous slayer! Margery Daw!"

In the blink of an eye Shiro was surrounded by a dozen purple wolverines the same size as bears

"Pretty impressive, I'm sure you can crush to death any rinne with the fear this technique impose"

From the creatures' mouth a wide beam of purplish fire roared through the air and impacted Shiro, leaving only a burnt grass spot as telltale of the attack

I don't feel his presence any longer. Tsk! That was all too easy!

Before she could celebrate her victory around the purplish creatures a circular wall of fire came into existence, locking them up

"And I'm sure that attack can kill most tomogara" Shiro's voice came from nowhere "But you are not fighting a usual tomogara here"

The wall of fire became clones of Shiro, surrounding the clones that Margery had, surpassing those three to one. From the end of the swords of all the Shiros a volley of shining bolts made out of power of existence flew against each of the clones, covering the battlefield in a blinding light.

O quam sancta, quam serena

Oh, How Holy! How Serene!

………………………………

The water of the fountain in the dark room started to agitate, more violently each second. The girl floating over the water suddenly shot her eyes open; a terrible, malignant, fire involved the room, burning everything it touched.

quam benigma, quam amoena

How Kind! How Pleasant!

………………………………

A loud crash made Yuji open his eyes. He saw Thalass, the dragon mascot of Tesuka, being stoped by a rock golem of the same size of the dragon

"Stand up Sakai Yuji" The voice of Khamsin came from behind him

Ignoring the flame haze Yuji watched the fight for the next few seconds, witnessing how Thalass forced the golem into the ground, inflicting terrible damage to it

How does we came to this? When did we lose the peaceful days? What leaded us here? Where does we failed? Asked Yuji to himself.

O castitatis lilium

Oh Pure Lily!
