Finally managed to get this chapter out. Enjoy!
Kyou walking out of his room with Sagami: "Found dead bodies again? How many are there this time round?" As he speaks, they hurried to another room where it's filled with dead bodies. Someone reported that they are all from Shou's side and almost everyone is dead. These people are all guinea pigs of Shou's experiment - medicine which resembles Senka's blood. Kyou's look is filled with anger. There are voices behind saying that Shou hasn't changed and he's going to destroy the village.
One of the guy found his brother dead and Kyou's thoughts "Up till annihilating everyone?" Kyou saw Misao: "Misao! Didn't i told you not to come?" Misao, holding a small bottle in her hands and showing it to Kyou: "... but this..." Fuzen: "Seem that it was found in one of the dead body." Kyou smelled the bottle and was shocked. Misao: "This is the bottle that Houki took which contained my blood." Fuzen: "To make the medicine which the dead consumed, Houki might have more or less contributed to the making of it."
Misao lamenting to herself: "Was i wrong to give Houki my blood? Did i not get the message
'Kyou believes in you' across? Kyou looking at the bottle and wonders "Why did he left this bottle behind? It's like him going through the trouble to let us know what he had done." An old lady wanted to take the body of her son back but was told that the bodies had to be remain in the room. The old lady was unhappy and claimed that Kyou be at least a little responsible for what had happened as these were the doings of Kyou's brother. Kyou, sternly said: "There are things which need to be confirmed, these bodies will remain here."
A watch man (Tengu) flew in and report that flames are breaking out at the mountain side and there is an awful demon strength approaching their location and part of the mountain is collapsing. Fuzen: "An enemy attack?" Kyou, knowing exactly who it is: "There is only one person with such great strength." Another watch man (Tengu) flew in, he's injured. He was supposed to put out the fire said: "It's was impossible to get near and from far i saw a black figure with red hair... that is...." Kyou gives orders for emergency plans and said: "I know what that is!"
It's Zenki! His seal was released and he lost control of himself. He is destroying the village and seems to be unstoppable.
Kyou's grandfather questioned Kyou's decision and warns him not to give him the wrong answer. Sagami and Fuzen fly off to stop Zenki. Kyou did not give any orders on what to do next as the decision about when to kill Zenki. Sagami and Fuzen stopped in front of Zenki.
However Zenki is so strong that even for two of the Eight DaiTengu is impossible to get near him. A voice (I guess is his grandfather) is persistently
asking Kyou to make a decision. At the same moment, Zenki flew into the orphanage and saw two little kids trembling in fear and hugging each other. Zenki killed them. There were other kids on the roof top in disbelief, wondering who is him, wondering if he is nii-chan. The orphanage director appeared in front of Zenki. He plans to stop him, it hurts him seeing Zenki now as he's the one who brought Zenki up. Orphanage director: "Look at me..." Zenki: "It's useless! Chief Priest!" and he slashes his sword at the Orphanage director.
Witnessing all these, Kyou finally stepped forward. He ordered everyone to retreat quickly. He's going to take on Zenki.
Zenki unable to control himself, repeatedly cursing: "Damn it. Damn it. DAMN IT!" Kyou approaches Zenki and yelled: "I will not forgive you ! Shou!" and both Zenki and Kyou raises their sword towards each other.
One of the kid on the roof top lost his balance due to the vibration caused by the fight between Zenki and Kyou and fell, Misao was in time to save him and the kids crying and asked: "Is Kyou sama going to kill nii-chan?" Misao looks up in the sky, worried. The fight between Kyou and Zenki continues. Until now, Kyou is the only one who is able to get near Zenki and they wonder if Kyou will be able to take the sword away from Zenki. However it's impossible, the sword is inseparable from Zenki!
In order not to chop off Zenki's arms and to stop his sword at the same time, Kyou allows Zenki to stab him!
Kyou stretches out his arm to reach Zenki and pull Zenki close to himself to stop him.
Kyou: "Don't suffer anymore, Zenki" Upon hearing this, Zenki teared and he recalled himself going through the pain of sealing his power.
Zenki's thoughts "There no pain worse than destroying the village and children i used to protect with my own hands. Zenki: "Master, please... kill me."
Meanwhile, in the room where all the dead bodies were placed, they came back to life! Back to Kyou and Zenki. Kyou, with Zenki's sword stabbed in his body, he performed ritual to seal Zenki's power!
Kyou held on even though the sword was stabbed further in causing him more pain. He recalled his first encounter with Zenki who offered his service as one of the Eight DaiTengu as he wanted to give Kyou strength to protect the village. Kyou still carrying out the ritual: "You haven't even carried out your work!"
Finally, Zenki's strength is sealed and Kyou is extremely exhausted.
and he collapsed. He did not plan to kill Zenki instead Kyou's plan was to save him. Back in the room, Sagami and Fuzen are wondering what happend, why did these people came back to life. Not only did they come back to life, they even returned back to their old self, clear headed. Unlike when they are under medication, craving for more Senka's blood. Sagami and Fuzen soon realised it's Houki who made the medicine.
Kyou enters holding on to Misao. Sagami: "Why aren't you resting?" Kyou: "I'm alright. Misao's passionate kiss is the best medicine!" They reported that Houki did not betray and Misao is pleased upon hearing that. Kyou: "This is bad! Houki is unable to return!"
Houki standing alone thinking "Kyou sama managed to suppress Zenki and the dead should have revived by now." Kyou: "... Shou should have already know what happened and he's not going to just let it off. Houki plans to kill Shou however in return he might be killed by Shou instead. We need to hurry if not we will not be able to stop Houki!"
***
Rather intense chapter with a lot of blood and fighting not much lovey dovey-ness between Kyou and Misao. The story seems to be going towards a little more serious direction. Love Kyou more and more! so heroic!
