The whole time when the bugs had all been sliced up in half, Makoto hadn't known there was actually someone watching him. Instead, he just covered his mouth when he noticed how the gas was poisonous. Coughing slightly, he jumped back a couple of feet from the gas cloud as he shook his head holding onto his katana with his right hand and holding onto his mouth with his left hand. It wasn't going to do much good since he had already gotten a lot of the poison inside his body and now it was just taking affect. The big problem was that, he hadn't killed all the weird bugs and they were still pouring out more and more from that one cave. Finally unable to keep his balance, Makoto dropped down to one knee, dropping his katana to the floor and now holding both hands over his mouth beginning to cough up blood.

Naraku on the other hand had been mostly concentrating on taking down Makoto at this point since he saw a giant opportunity to take down one of the legendary six that had killed him before. Taking down one would've been a huge leap for him to have a better chance of ruling this world. So since he was paying so much attention to him, he didnt even realize that Kurou was nearby watching this. "Finish him!" he ordered, as the bees started rushing forward toward Makoto with their stingers pointed out.

Kurou's eyes winded when he heard a loud. "Finish him!" Someone else was in that cave? Could it be... Well, it certainly felt evil enough in there... and he was anything but sensitive to such things. Yup, it looked pretty bad in that cave. He should probably just turn around and leave. After all, Kurou was by no means someone to put his own life in danger, or even go out of his way, to help someone else. Especially another man. If there was a reward or something of profit in it for him, or maybe even a beautiful woman, perhaps he'd consider it. But otherwise, it was highly doubtful he'd mix himself up in such a mess, him always looking out for number one and number one alone.

However, as Makoto dropped to one knee and began coughing up blood, something inside Kurou just couldn't handle running away or ignoring it. Sure he'd make up an excuse to ditch helping old ladies move furniture around, and rarely cared if some stupid cat was stuck in a tree with some stupid kid whining about it... but this was different. This guy was going to die if he didn't do something.

He looked to his right hand, which was covered by a black cloth. He knew what was under it, but hell, he'd only ever used it to show off and gain profit. Never to actually fight like his stupid ancestor Mirobo or whatever did. He looked back to the swarming insects that seemed to grow more and more in number by the second. He gritted his teeth and let out a groan before coming out from his cover in the cave and standing in front of Makoto. "How about you try some of this! Wind Tunnel!" He shouted, ripping the black cloth off, revealing a black vortex in the palm his right hand that instantly began sucking the insects inside as if it were an endless black hole.

And now was when the regret set in. "Damn it... I knew this was a bad idea!" He let out as more and more insects piled in. There was just no end to them, like an endless supply! "Where the hell are they all coming from?!" Never before had he sucked so much in before. This was definitly new. Now he was even beginning to feel weird himself.

As the bee-like demons started approaching him from behind to give a final sting and kill him. Makoto turned his head to look behind him with one hand still over his mouth so that if he coughed blood, he'd be coughing into his hand. "Dammit..a-am I really going to die here?" he asked himself with a little whisper before his eyes widened up in shock from seeing another man jump out in front of him. "Wh-what are you doing--?!" right as he finished his sentence, seeing how the demons started gathering into the palm of the man; Makoto gasped sitting up straight to see how this was even possible. Never once did he hear anything about something as strange as this before; a man that had some kind of 'black hole' in the middle of his hand.

Right as soon as Naraku had heard the words 'wind tunnel', his own eyes widened up as he recognized that same exact move from the original user 'Miroku'. "That must be the kid that inherited his power..hmm...I wonder if that means...he inherited the same weakness." he questioned himself quietly, before a grin slowly appearing on his face when he noticed how the man seemed to start acting just as strange. "Ahh...so he is just like the fool Miroku." he stated with a whisper, originally the wind tunnel isn't allowed to swallow up Saimyōshōs; due to their own poisonous gas within them, they would also affect the wind tunnel. "Finish them both." Naraku said at the end, as hundreds more started pouring out of the cave.

Meanwhile, on the outside of the cave; seeing how many more of those demons were pouring out. Makoto gasped once again as he forced himself to stand up. "I-..I cant believe this..please...let this work." he plead weakly, as he closed his eyes only for a minute before they reopened showing how they were completely dark red now. "Yes, i-..it worked." he spoke with his voice now sounding a bit more deep and demonic. In this form, his speed, strength, defense, agility, and reflexes all increased dramatically; but the problem was that he wasn't even sure if this was going to help.

"Are you serious?!" Kurou exclaimed when the strange man said to finish them both before letting out even more insects. He stood his ground, almost hiding behind his own hand, as more and more insects piled in. But the more that piled in, the worse he felt. Never before had sucking something up made him feel like this before. He felt sick and nauseous and weak all at the same time, almost like his insides were slowly being torn out. "Poison?" Ugh... what had he gotten himself into now? Soon, Kurou couldn't hold them off any longer, and retracted his hand, kneeling to the ground himself in pain. "Great..." He let out to himself, clutching his right hand. "Now am I going to be coughing up blood too? Some rescue this was."

But, before he knew it, the white-haired man stood back up, mumbling something to himself, much to Kurou's surprise. What was even more to his surprise were the animal ears the man had that he hadn't noticed before. What was that all about? Was this guy a cross-breed of human and animal or something? But in hearing how the man's voice suddenly got deeper and more demonic, Kurou began to scoot back a bit from him, watching as the man began to change into another creature entirely.

"Y-you're not human at all!" He yelled at him, not sure who or what to fear now. "You're a demon!" For a split second, Kurou thought about trying to suck this guy up in his wind tunnel as well, but one, seeing how it failed last time and two, how the fox demon could might help the situation, he decided against it. And thus, he just sat there and watched, unable to stand or run off. How this guy stood up himself was beyond him. Well... aside from the fact the he was apparently a demon. Humans just weren't as strong, he supposed. But whatever this guy was doing... could he really pull it off?

(Should we wait for others, or should we keep going? o.o)

(( Hmm, I don't know. I suppose we should wait. Haven't really heard from anyone in a while though. Hope the rp isn't dead. D; I think Shell is back in school/work now though. Not sure, just a hunch since winter break is over. ))
