Chapter 4: Weird Introductions

"Say what?" Fu Xi asked him, looking at the young demon as if he made the impossible possible. Kurai nodded, Motochika seemed awestruck at his plan, but there was something that bothered him so, "May I ask... What do you mean reviving your former master?" Fu Xi couldn't help but wonder as well. The young demon felt the world was against him by now as he began his explanation

"The Jade Emperor in this timeline is dead. I've researched a way on how to revive him, so sealing Orochi is not the only thing that clouded my mind during my long absence" he began. Motochika nodded in understatement as he let him continued, "If we have revive him then we might get a very valuable ally, and the sooner we have him the better"

Fu Xi didn't understood as he said, "I'm sorry but I don't follow you" Kurai sighed. He never liked thinking about the past but that may be the way to get them to trust him. He said, "Other than the Jade Emperor, I was the only witness to see him transformed and killed him" Their eyes widened in shock as he told them that. Fu Xi knew of Orochi's sin, he killed the Jade Emperor. But what does "transformed" meant? What does he mean by that?

"What do you mean 'transformed'?" Asked Motochika. Kurai closed his eyes, "Can I not talk about it until I'm ready?" He asked both of them, 'Such emotions... He must be taking it harder than anyone else's pain' the shamisen player thought. Fu Xi was thinking the same thing, "Alright then. Now go to the meeting tent, I'll gather everyone you need here" he said as he began walking to the opposite direction

He paused mid-step as he said, "And for your information, Kaguya is... Sucked in by Tamamo so I'm afraid we must use your drained power to travel back in time" he said as he disappeared in a flash of blue light. Kurai looked at the place where he had disappeared in disbelieve, he was exhausted for the Jade Emperor's sake!

Traveling back in time would take at least 75% of his strength, now he's only at his 20%! He was never good at time traveling since it's not his best motto, as he was a shadow demon for gods sake

"Oh god... I wish I have those soldier pills from that Naruto world" muttered Kurai, leaving Motichika to wonder which world was that, "Anyway, let us go Master Kurai. This way" the blue haired shamisen player led the way as Kurai followed him. A few minutes later they've entered a late white tent, inside were a long, brown, wooden table in a shape of a rectangle and circular brown chairs.

The warriors he summoned were all there. Alined from the entrance to the deepest part of the tent, they sat across each other as they waited for their order, "Everyone's here, well except for Kaguya" Fu Xi said from beside Nemea as Motochika took his seat near Yukimura, the red warrior. Kurai nodded in agreement, "Right, then. Shall we get started on this meeting?"

Everyone nodded as Kurai re-introduce himself again, "For the sake to those who I have not met, my name is Kurai Nohana. I am a general of the Mystic Realm like Uncle Fu Xi, but unlike most demons I serve the mystics" he bowed to them. They nodded in respect to him, "So, does everyone knows who they are? Because the mission I'm giving to you is a very long-term task and it's best if we all become friends from now" he said with a smile.

The warriors looked at each other before a long haired man in blue armor said, "We do know our comrades here, others doesn't know some" the young shadow lets out an "ooh" before saying, "I see, well then. Why do we start by some introductions before we carry on with my plan, why don't you start kind warrior? Names, profession, which force you originally were, the weapon you wield or any other things you want to say" He looked at the man in blue

Fu Xi sighed as he thought, 'So like the Kurai I used to know...' , "Me?" He asked. Kurai nodded as he sit down to give him some space, the man stood up as he introduced himself, "I am known as Zhao Yun, one of the Five Tiger Generals or we liked to call it 'Wǔ Hǔ Jiàng Jūn' of Shu. I wield the spear as my weapon"

Again people nodded in respect to him as he sat down, "Ah, the warrior who saved Adou from Changban. In the future, you were really famous because of that you know" he said earning a small chuckle from him. Kurai looked over to the red warrior across Zhao Yun, the young man pointed to himself in question. He nodded

He stood up and started to introduce himself, "I am Sanada Yukimura, a samurai under the Takeda clan and a member of the Sanada. Second son to Sanada Masayuki and younger brother to Sanada Nobuyuki. I command ten shinobis known as the 'Sanada Brave 10' or more infamously known as 'Sanada Jūyūshi'. It's a pleasure to meet you all" he bowed to them before sitting down, "The Crimson Demon of War? That was such a scary title, Master Yukimura. How did you want that name?" Asked Kurai.

Yukimura answered, "I'm very similar to Master Zhao Yun. Charging at my enemies alone with nothing but my horse and spear, I earned the title 'Demon of War'. As for the 'Crimson', well I'm pretty sure my choice clothing is a very big give away" he pointed to himself as everyone saw nothing but red

Kurai nodded as he looked at the person beside Zhao Yun, who was a female with some of her light brown hair tied in a braid. She saw him staring at her as he smiled at her, she stood up, "My name is Jeanne de Arc or more commonly known as Joan of Arc. I was a general of the French Revolution and was nicknamed Maiden of Orléans. I have a special ability that allows me to hear the voices of our saints" she said as she sat down

Kurai looked interested as he asked, "Does that also mean Saint Isabelle of France? She was not made a saint until 1521" , 'And you were made a saint until 1920, almost 400 years after your death by England' he thought to himself. She seemed surprised at his question, "You are very knowledgable of our history, Master Kurai. And to answer your question, yes. I could hear her voice even before she was made a saint"

Kurai thought about it, it was very unique to say the least. Too bad her sword broke before a battle, that was the time she lost her subordinates and was burnt by the Englishman. The young shadow looked over to Joan's front to see Sterk, he sighed before standing up and introducing himself

"Sterkenburg Cranach, formerly a knight before it was abolished. I'm now an adventurer, a self proclaimed knight as I cannot change my ways of living. I desire to hunt down the former king of Arland and ask why he abolished knighthood" he sat back down as Kurai asked him a question

"The king of Arlang, isn't his name Gio..." He trailed off as he tried to remember his last name, "Ludwig Giovanni Arland was his name right?" He asked Sterk, he nodded, "Ah, the former king of Arland. I have met him before, he was such a strange character. Funny but kind nonetheless" Sterk smiled, he agreed. It was true that Gio was a strange man, but he was a kind king. The reason why he stepped down was a mystery to them

"You have travelled through dimensions as well?" Nemea asked from beside Joan, Kurai nodded, "That's correct. I once travelled to a world called 'Basara' and my, the people there are so different from the samurais here. Over there, Master Yukimura is so oblivious to almost everything" he sweat dropped as he remembered on how the Shingen there taught him a lesson by punching each other in the face

"There are more Yukimura out there in other worlds?" Asked a man in an eye mask, he nodded, "Yes, that's correct. Poor Yukimura is abused by the Shingen there, he taught him a lesson by punching each other in the face while yelling out 'Yukimura!' and 'My lordship!' over and over again" everyone chuckled as Yukimura could only stare at disbelieve at him

"Also there was a world called 'Ikki Tousen'. That's the world where... Almost every warrior from the Three Kingdoms era... Are women" a spray of water could be heard as it was followed by a fit of coughs. Zhao Yun was the source as he drank his tea only to spit it back out again, almost hitting poor Yukimura

"Yes, my reactions exactly. I actually met your female version Master Zhao Yun, and I must say you were very... Big on the chest" , "What!?" He yelled out, still recovering from his cough. Kurai shrugged, "Well, reality sometime is a real female dog* everyone. Now lets continue, Master Nemea?"

Nemea nodded as he stood up and introduced himself, "I am Nemea Langaster Dyneskal, I was a mercenary and an adventurer in my home town until I was transported here by time and space. I was also the cousin of the hero who saved our world from our grandfather" he sat down again. Kurai realized that everyone was ignoring Zhao Yun who was currently swearing at reality for changing him into a girl

He then asked him, "That cousin... Is Areus? He used that 'Sword of Nihil' am I correct? That sword is cursed to the user, as you will cease to exist and everyone, including your loved ones will never remember you again. And yet somehow you do" Nemea nodded, it was true. Areus, he saved them from total annihilation from Balor. Stopped him from conquering the world forever, he was thankful of him.

"Tell me" Nemea said, "How did you know our pasts and futures? Surely you're not a fortune-teller" he asked him. Kurai lets out a small chuckle before saying, "I didn't study seals only for the past millennia, you know. I researched everyone last of you, and no I didn't called you here out of random order. Oh, heavens no. I researched you all closely and thoroughly, and I hope I won't do that ever again" he muttered lastly

Everyone chuckled, he does have a point though. He was picking specific people and not some random men and women who knows nothing of it. Yet they didn't, "Right, lets continue with our introductions. Lady Shang Xiang?" He looked at her who was next to Fu Xi. She nodded and stood up

"Sun Shang Xiang, I'm also known as the Bow Princess. The younger child of Sun Jian, the Tiger of Jiang Dong. Sister to both Sun Ce and Sun Quan, and no we don't welcome monkeyed into the Sun family because they are filled with tigers" Kurai chuckled at her, true Wukong was a monkey and he had no place in a family of tigers

"That's correct, Sun Wukong would just be eaten up by tigers if he joined your clan" he chuckled before continuing to a woman who was wearing a light violet armor, "Tachibana Ginchiyo, head of the noble Tachibana and wife to Tachibana Muneshige. I wield my father's sword 'Lightning Edge' as a symbol"

"Huh? That's it? No fancy additional info about yourself, Lady Ginchiyo?" Asked Kurai, she glared at him as he cowered in fear under the table before everyone heard a "poof" sound. Everyone sweat dropped as Kurai appeared again, in his arms... A fluffy, small black thing with a blue gem on its was. Long, bunny like ears, a lion like tail and small cute paws.

Ginchiyo blushed as she saw the fluffy thing, "This here is called a Mokona Modoki, a prank loving little creature that loves to cuddle the most. I'll give him to you if you don't kill me" everyone had massive sweat drops behind their heads as they watched the scene in front of them with Ginchiyo accepting the "apology" without killing him

Motochika sweat dropped before standing up and introducing himself, "I am Chosokabe Motochika, the 20th head of the Chosokabe family. I like styling people's hair as a hobby and playing my instrument. I love all aquatic environments" he nodded before sitting down again, Kurai smiled, "Can you make a song for yourself?" He asked, the bat nodded his head, "Many songs are now forming inside of my mind, Master Kurai"

"Great! Maybe once this is over you can sing to us!" He clasped his hand as he looked at the one with the eye mask, "You're the last one, Master-" he paused as if he waited for him to introduce himself. The man sighed before standing up, "My name is Sima Shi, I'm the eldest son of Sima Yi and brother to a lazy brother Sima Zhao. It's a pleasure" he sat down again

"Eh? No additional info? Like the way you're obsessed with meat buns?" Kurai asked as he suddenly made a barbecued pork wrapped in a silky, smooth bun appeared... Poor Shi was drooling all over the place as Kurai felt pity for him and gave him the thing. As usual, everyone was amused by his antics as a giant sweat drop appeared behind their heads again

"Uncle Fu Xi? It's your turn" Kurai said. The older mystic sighed before introducing himself again, "My name is Fu Xi, I'm a general of the Mystic Realm as was supposed to be this brat's guardian... -Hey!-... But he suddenly disappeared into thin air, I just thanked god he won't find out anytime soon" he said, chuckling along the way

As Sima Shi began munching away his meat bun, Kurai smiled, "Alright, now that we've introduced ourselves and talked about each other a little-" the eye mask wearing man finished his meat bun as the atmosphere of the room began to tensed up greatly, "Let 'Operation Tsuki no Kama' (Moon Scythe) begin now!"
