Hogo No Yujin (Protective Friend)
Episode 7~ Oni Attack

"Dylan-san! Wait!" Takana. Dylan stopped his steps, then turned around.

"What's up?!"

"Dylan-san why are you leaving?"

"You've embarrassed me!"

"But, Dylan-san-"

"That's Takana! Away from my life. You don't show up in front of me again. I no longer need you. Don't follow me! Leave me alone!" dylan snapped at him and immediately walked back down this passageway in search of a quiet place.

Takana didn't follow him anymore He stayed in his place. Then he clasped his hands together and placed them on his chest. Body vibrates. He started to sob. "Dylan-san hates me? If that is the case, then, my mission will fail and without me around, then Dylan-san will be ...."

"Hey, you!"

Suddenly someone shouted at him. Takana. Then she wiped her tears, and turned her body. "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Come on us now!"

Chapter 7: [Oni Attacks]

****

*Location: Back of school-

BRUK*!

"Basically humans are useless! How dare you betray our Kei!" one of the women in front of Takana.

"A–what do you mean? I don't understand."

"Excuse me, let me through!"

Everything's edge. Give way to people who want to pass through it. A beautiful young woman, with long hair, and a tall body. That's Lisa Lucianta. She is Kei's ex-girlfriend.

He was known to many people at school. Become one of the most popular girls among many men. He is also smart and admired by many teachers. In fact, everyone likes his attitude. It is very kind and loving. That's what others think. Her popularity has grown since she dated Kei.

"Are you Takana?" ask Lisa to Takana. He stretched out his hand, intending to help Takana stand up again.

"I–iya." Takana clasped Lisa's hand in doubt. Lisa pulls Takana's hand and helps her stand up again.

"Thank you." Takana said with embarrassment.

"No problem." Lisa laughed a little. Then he looked back. He looked at all his friends. "Now, you guys go first, huh?"

"Ba–well, Lisa!"

All of Lisa's friends left. Takana was relieved, because everyone who had scolded him had gone from before him. Takana glanced at Lisa. Lisa looked at him. Takana gasped in shock as Lisa suddenly looked at her.

"Anu..., did Kei really shoot you?" ask Lisa.

"Eh, no. If I get shot, maybe I'll die." Takana answered innocently.

Lisa laughed a little. "Hehe. I mean, did Kei say he wanted to be your girlfriend, then?"

"Ah, yes. He asked to date me." Takana answered by putting her innocent face back on.

"Oh, so, you take it?"

"Yes. Because, I'm looking for a girlfriend."

"Oh." Lisa understood.

"Later, I'll find another girlfriend. More!"

Lisa was shocked when she heard Takana say that. "Eh?! Don't you have a boyfriend? Then why do you want another girlfriend?"

"Yes.., so that my girlfriend will be many! Because, that boyfriend is a best friend, right?"

"Eh, wait a minute. So, what do you think, 'boyfriend' means to be friends?"

"Sheep!" Takana nodded quickly. "Therefore, I want to have a lot of girlfriends to have many friends who accompany me!"

Lisa smiled and laughed a little. To him, Takana's innocence was an interesting humor to him. Lisa shook her head slowly, then she started to open her mouth. "Takana, that boyfriend isn't a friend. It really means friend! But, that courtship status was a close friend. Uh, more than just friends. More than friends. Huh, how do I explain it, huh...?" Lisa was confused.

"More than just friends? Well then, is...."

"MUCHAAA!"

Someone called his name. Takana and Lisa looked to the side. Not far from where they were standing, Takana and Lisa saw a Kei running towards them.

"Key?" takana Mummings.

"A, Takana. I've been looking for him everywhere. It turns out you're here."

Takana. Kei looked at Lisa beside him. "Lis, are you here too? What are you two doing?"

"We just chatted for a while. Me first!" Lisa bowed slightly, then walked away from Takana and Kei. While leaving, Lisa put on a jutek look. Kei had seen his ex's expression.

"Hi! See you soon, Lisa-san!" Shouted Takana while waving her hand. Kei let out a small breath, then he looked back at Takana.

Takana shakes her head. "Eh, Kei-san, why are you looking for me?"

"Oh, it's okay. I just want to walk with you for a minute. The way to class. Just the two of us. Because in a minute, bell clock 5th lesson." Kei said.

"Oh, okay. Come on!" Takana.

Takana walks past Kei. After that, Kei followed Takana from behind. Takana slightly muttered a little while whistling. Then he glanced down and was surprised. Because on the ground he was stepping on there was a cockroach crawling towards him. Takana jumped back in fear of the cockroach. Then, instantly, Kei catches Takana before Takana falls.

They're face to face. Shortly after, Takana again threw his face away from Kei. But he glanced at the cockroach again. Then quickly, Takana hugged Kei as he was disgusted by the cockroach.

Kei kicked the cockroaches until the cockroaches went away from them. Takana let out a sigh of relief because Kei had eliminated the cockroach from his sight. Takana let go of her embrace, then walked back happily.

From behind, Kei looked at Takana with a smile. She likes Takana's cheerful and loving attitude. Especially when Takana hugged her. He feels very happy though.

"Yin-san! Have you seen Dylan-san?" ask Takana.

Kei surprised. Then he scrunched his forehead. "Why are you asking about him?"

"Hmm, 'cause I like it. I like Dylan-san! She's been nice to me. He has given me a good place to live. And everything." Takana.

"Takana, you like it?" kei asked in disbelief.

"Yes. Because, she's my girlfriend!"

Kei surprised. "But, Takana, I'm your boyfriend, right?!"

"Emm, yeah, maybe. But, that Dylan-san is my best boyfriend!"

Kei shook his head quickly at Takana. Then he grabbed Takana's hands and said, "Takana! I'm your best boyfriend. I like you so much! Really am! L like you. I love you so much. Don't choose anyone else. Don't waste my love and feelings. I like you so much!"

Takana shook his head quickly. Slowly, his hand tried to escape Kei's grasp. "Ka–you love me? But Kei.., I this is ...."

THE DUAR!

Takana. He picked up an explosive sound and a disturbing aura. Then, all of a sudden, Takana felt something. Then quickly, he pulled Kei and ran away. But suddenly, Kei fell. Same with Takana.

WUUWSHH....

Here goes! Takana sees something big leading up to her. Then quickly, Takana immediately stood up and raised both of his hands. Then instantly, a huge blue light appeared around him. It turned out to be true, a green light like a fireball appeared and smashed into Takana's blue light.

He can still be protected. Kei was surprised by the attack like that. He stood back up. Takana turned off the blue light shield.

"Ta–Takana, what was that?!" ask Kei to panic.

"Kei-san get out of here! It's dangerous!"

"What do you mean?!"

WUUWSHH....

BRACKET!

"Ughh! Who attacked us?! Definitely 'him'. But, where is he?" takana thought to herself.

Attack once again. But luckily, Takana is still using her protector. He opened his eyes quickly. Looking for the man who attacked him.

"That's it!"

Takana found the guy. He was standing on top of the school building. After careful consideration, it turns out that the person is someone who is not a stranger to him.

"Dylan-san?! Oh no!" Takana shook his head while staring at the figure of Dylan.

"Utsuki Takana. I'll end your life!"

That's not Dylan. The figure was only disguised as Dylan, or it could be if the figure that resembled the man was a dangerous creature.

The figure of Dylan also came down from the top of the school building by jumping. Then, it landed right not far from Takana's front. After that, he walked over to Takana. It looks scary at the moment.

With glowing yellow eyes, and numerous tentacle-shaped black shadows appearing around Dylan's body, it indicated that his body had already been possessed by Oni!

Let's just say that Dylan right now is a dangerous Oni. It was probably a term from Takana for dangerous creatures.

"Hey, don't be afraid, dong! You've fought against me before, haven't you? Well, now I reappear for revenge!" oni.

"The fish! Damned demon!" Takana muttered with an annoyed feeling. Then, from both of his palms, came a blue light that blazed like fire.

"Ta–Takana, it's Dylan! In–dia why?!" ask Kei scared. He's hiding behind Takana's body.

"That's not the Dylan-san I know. That's the evil Oni!" answer Takana.

"A–what is Oni?"

"It's hard to explain right now! Uh, careful!".

BRACKET!

Takana pushed Kei quickly to dodge the green fireball attack again. It seems so strong.

"Come, Takana! I haven't played with you in a long time" The Oni smiled as she pointed her hand towards Takana. Shortly thereafter, the attack was launched.

Then to dodge, quickly, Takana held Kei, then jumped high into the air. Takana will intend to take Kei to safety first. Only then, Takana will try to fight the Oni.

"Did? Wanna escape? You won't be able to!" The Oni let out a lot of black smoke, then gathered all over its body and instantly disappeared in the darkness.

****

"Yeah! Takana, I'm afraid of heights!" Kei shouted in fear.

"Sorry, Kei-san! We need to get out of that thing first!"

Takana's taking Kei flying. Stay away from the school environment. Then, they landed on the roof of someone's house.

"Oh, Takana, why did you bring me here?" kei asked, getting panicked.

"In a moment, Kei-san, I want to check things out. Whether the creature is still chasing us or not!"

Takana's eyes glanced around. He also prepared his protection so as not to be exposed to attacks from Oni that appeared suddenly. It's okay to get Takana, but if the Oni attack hits humans it could be even more dangerous.

"Meet!"

Oni suddenly appeared beside Kei. Takana was very surprised, then quickly, he fired his attack at Oni. A blue fireball, pointing rapidly towards the Oni.

Oni disappears again to escape Takana's attack. It turned out that Takana's attack had not hit the Oni and the fireball exploded in the sky. Takana glanced back. He was wobbly looking for the place of Oni's emergence.

BUKS!

"Ouch!"

Suddenly, the Oni appeared beside Takana. Too close. Then quickly, Oni hit Takana to the point of falling. But quickly, Takana got back up and immediately approached Kei.

"Takana! You okay?" ask Kei worriedly.

"Yes! But, now, let's run first!" Takana held Kei back again, then quickly, he jumped up high from the roof of the house.

Oni just grinned. It disappeared again with dark force. It seemed, Oni was still chasing Takana behind him.

"Dylan-san's chat. I must quickly save Dylan-san." muttered Takana.

"Takana! If you need my help, then I'll help you!" kei said quickly.

"But, Kei-san, he is not an ordinary human being. More precisely, he was indeed not a human being, but in essence, the current being was extremely powerful. Either way, we have to escape from–"

"Meet again!" Suddenly, the Oni appeared in front of Takana! Takana was surprised.

WUUWSHH....

BRUISES!

At a time like this, Takana could not escape. Then in the end, he and Kei were hit by an Oni attack and fell down there.

BRUK!

Takana and Kei fall into the forest. The forest is on the edge of town. Luckily, Takana fell into the river there.

Then, quickly, Takana came back out of the Water. He could have survived. Takana shook her head because her hair and her whole body were all wet. After that, Takana crows around looking for kei. "Where is Kei-san?"

"Takana! Help me!" That's Kei's yelling. Takana also ran towards the voice. When he got there, Takana saw Kei on top of a large tree with many vines.

Fortunately, Kei fell on top of the plant. Takana breathed a sigh of relief as Kei was fine. But, right now, Kei's state is being stuck on top of a tree.

Takana will help him get down to the ground safely. But, before that, suddenly Oni reappeared before Takana. Fortunately, Takana could feel the presence of the creature coming back.

Before Takana saves Kei, it looks like he has to defeat the creature first.

Takana retreated backwards. Stay away from the Oni. It cannot be close to the dangerous creature.

"The fish! Now, Takana likes to play chases, huh? Inconveniencing! I'm tired of chasing you." The Oni smiled again, then stared intently at Takana. "Now, because I've got you, so you take care, huh?"

"ah! So you want me to take care? Then let me deal with you with my attack!" Takana fired another attack at the Oni in front of him. But, unfortunately, all of Takana's attacks couldn't hit him. It's moving very fast.

Takana's breathing began to pant as he had expended a lot of his energy. It also stopped moving. He stood on a tree near Takana.

"Well, this human body is delicious, you know! Easy to control. Let me guess, this must be a human who rarely moves." The Oni said from the top of the tree.

"Dylan-san does not like to over-exercise. That's because, he wanted to save energy!" takana timpal.

"Well! Because that's. To save energy, huh? Then, if this human energy is still a lot, I can use it to kill you, Takana Utsuki!"

"Eh! Can't! You must not absorb all the energy in Dylan-san's body! I won't let it!" snapped Takana.

Takana is back. He leapt up high towards the Oni on top of the tree, then attacked him again. Oni manages to evade, then he also uses the same power to avenge Takana's attack.

Takana and Oni's fight was going very fast. Kei who saw them attack each other, so felt dizzy. Their movements and agility were extremely fast like a streaking light.

Kei hopes Takana can win. But, after Kei wished that, Takana's body suddenly floated rapidly towards him. Kei is hit by Takana's body and falls from a tree. Kei managed to remove his body from the vines, but on the ground, Kei instead overcame Takana's body.

"Sakiit.... Takana! You're okay, right?!"

Takana opened his eyes again, then slowly, he stood up. His body trembled while touching his stomach. That must have hurt. Because, Takana has been hit by that Oni attack again.

"Yin-san! Get away from here!" Takana pushed Kei. Kei hid behind a tree.

It landed in front of Takana. Then he walked over to Takana.

"Haha, I finally won. I can hit you again. When can you hit me? Your attack was terrible!"

"No! I'm not going to be the weakest kid I was. I'll finish you off!" snapped Takana.

"Eh, it turns out you dare to fight me again, huh?"

BRUK!

The Oni strangled Takana's neck, then banged his head against a tree. "You've lost, Takana. No one can beat me. Now your precious soul, I will take... Khu...."

Black smoke came out from Oni's right hand which was suffocating Takana. Then, some of the black-colored shadow tentacles bound Takana's body and held him back. Takana can't move. He also began to run out of breath. It seemed, That Oni started stealing the Soul that was inside Takana's body.

If the Soul in Takana's body is successfully retrieved Oni's, then Takana will die.

Kei who was behind the tree was terrified. He can't do anything to help Takana. He can only watch.

BRUK!

Takana opened his eyes again and was shocked. He saw the Oni in front of him suddenly fall in front of him. Someone just attacked him.

"Huh, it turns out that here I can also find another demon. And now, that demon has possessed my sister's body!"

A woman's voice. Takana glanced towards his right side. He's surprised. Takana saw a red-clothed woman walking up to him.

The woman smiled at Takana. Takana also felt happy about being able to meet women again. They seem to know each other.

"Ka–kau! You're...."

"Konnichiwa, Takana-Chan! It's been a long time, huh?" The woman smiled at Takana. As if he was siding with Takana and help had arrived.
