Kakuzu Hidan's Story

Some time ago, Kakuzu dispatch one of his subordinates to send a letter to a person named Gerard from Brunoma. Words that his wears are currently the best in all of Daughtris attracted his attention.

In a High Dollar Casino and Night Club named Dark Temptations, Kakuzu sits waiting for Gerard in the private section of the club. The night club was filled with flashing colorful lights, loud beats, as well of the alluring fragrance of mixed drinks. Some of the creatures were dancing while some were lounging and relaxing. Some of Kakuzu's subordinates that wasn't forced to wear shadow collars were all scattered around the club, smoking, drinking, and was treated by the club girls. Sitting beside Kakuzu was Elena who was wearing a green kimono.

Gerard smiled as he looked up at the name Dark Temptations. But he had seen a lot worse on the way here. He stepped inside and scanned the area. He had been given a holographic photo so he opened his palm as the lights winked into existence and displayed the face of Kakuzu. He traversed the club approaching several girls and slipping some money in their hands.

"Keep up the good work, ladies." He walked on his eyes looking for a very nice companion that suited his tastes. He found Kakuzu in the middle of his search so he made his way over casually.

"Good day to you, Mr. Hidan" Gerard pulled out a long and slender smoking pipe and lit up with by activating the magic in the pipe. He made himself comfortable as he looked at the man across the table. His eyes then fell upon the woman next to him. His eyes wandered over her body as he appraised her worth.

"How may I be of service to you, Mister Hidan." His dialect changed to that of a native person of Demotia. Gerard had studied every country and prepared himself for such transactions. He would not be seen as a fool by anyone. And if such a impossible situation occur then that said person would disappear along with all those close to them.

Kakuzu snapped a finger and a the loud sound became a little quiet. Kakuzu had cast a sound barrier around them so that no one from outside the barrier could hear them.

"Good day to you too, Mr Kind"

Hidan changed his sitting position from leaning ahead to laying back on the couch and placing his left foot on his right leg.

"I assume you saw some of the Yakuza underlings in town wearing black collar made of shadow around their necks..." Kakuzu paused and continued "Do you have anything to get rid of them?"

"I saw them, and yes I do have something to get rid of them." He reached into his pouch and pulled out a silver sphere with Avory script on it. He turned pressed a button and suddenly a flash appeared and disappeared as quickly as it came.

Gerard smiled as Kakuzu seemed a bit perplexed. Nothing had actually happened except for the fact that the button was now flashing white. Gerard waited for him to notice the effect. Gerard looked to those around the Club. There were no shadows to be seen anywhere with in the club. Gerard looked back to Kakuzu as the device shut off bringing shadow back to club.

"It lasts a short time, but it eliminates all shadows whether magic or not. The distance is about one block and the time limit is one minute. I have some that last longer but they are more expensive, of course." He pulled out a slightly bigger silver orb with the same script. "So, Mister Hidan, is it to your liking?" he asked calmly as he puffed a purple smoke into the air.

The effect of Gerards device was hard to see because of the blinking lights of the club. They had to observe carefully to see what happened.

Elena laugh out loud while both her hand was placed on her belly.

"That's what it does? It vanishes shadows for a while and then they reappear?" Elena question before explaining "We need something to destroy the shadow collars permanently because we need the Yakuza to be free to battle. If they appear while in battle, it would be really bad"

Elena placed her left leg on her right thigh while crossing her arms, her lips curved into a smirk, eyes staring at Gerard.

"Do you have other devices?" Kakuzu questioned Gerard

Gerards smile remained as he stared at the female demon. Gerard reached in his pocket and pulled out an obsidian rod He pointed at the girl, then Kakuzu before stopping it on the sound barrier. He pushed the button on the opposite end and a bolt of black and purple shot out and suddenly all the sound rushed in as a large circle envoloped it.

"Mana Breaker. It destroys mana within the the bubble permenantly. Magical effects as well as any items caught in the field will be destroyed beyond repair." Gerard pushed it towards Kakuzu. He reached in another pocket and pulled out a pair of white gloves with black runes. "Spell Eater, These gloves drain the mana out of anything they come into contact with. Once completely drained the spell is destroyed and th item becomes a useless lump of material. Quite effective for up close combat against magical barriers or magical locks making them simple locks that can be picked."

"The Mana Breaker holds ten shots each, and has no range limit. I would suggest giving these to those with good aim. Otherwise the Spell Eaters would be the way to go." Gerard didn't particularly like selling either of these items seeing as how he depended on a large variety of items for offense, defense, and for utility. The Mana Breaker and Spell Eater were banes to Gerards existance as well as any item of his that might get destroyed in the process.

"Are these more to your liking?" he exhaled another puff of purple smoke.

The loud club music was making it a little hard to talk. Gerard looked at his underlings behind Gerard and gestured him to cast another sound barrier. The underling started to cast and raised his hand and the areastarted to become quiet once again.

"nice pair of gloves" Elena complimented "This are your own designs, right?"

Kakuzu reached the Obsidian Rod called Mana Breaker and started to examine it. He frowned and passed the rod to Elena.

"Can you design bullets that have the same effect as this rods?" He asks and started to explain "I am not used to wielding rods. I am more used to guns"

Kakuzu examined the bullets while Elena held the obsidian rod and thought of what Gerard said before

"Ei! If this rod destroys items in its created field, then..."

Elene quickly took out her cellphone from under her kimono. The screen of the cellphone was black. She attempted to turn it on but failed. Elena's eyes widened. She held the Mana Breaker down, aiming at the ground, and pushed the button but nothing happened.

"Everything including the rod is broken..." Elena said to Kakuzu

Kakuzu looked at the rod and then at Gerard in silent while still holding the bullets

"are you going to take responsibilities for our broken devices?" Elena glared at Gerard

Just another day in the Dark City of Demotia. Dante was doing his usual rounds in his High Dollar Casino and Night Club, Dark Temptations. He did what he usually did. He checked up on the girls, went to see how the drinks were going, and he even went around the casino asking how his customers were doing. Nothing bad ever really happens in Dark Temptations because of all the big bouncers Dante employed to watch over everything.

During Dante's rounds, He saw one of his old friends talking to someone. Dante cracked a smile as he walked over to him. He sensed that there was a sound barrier, and passes through it. He looks over at the small group. "Well if it isn't my old friend Kakuzu. What brings you here friend?" Dante asked as he straightened his tie. It's not rare to see Dante wear a suit, but he still only does so when he's at his club checking everything out. His Raven Black hair and Blood red eyes would've stood out in a normal club, but not in a city of demons.

Kakuzu turned to the familiar voice and saw Dante

"Dante" He nodded and smiled "come and sit. Join us"

Gerard simply smiled as all their devices were broken.
"I suppose I can replace those things for you if you wish. Just give me the list and I'll have them for you by the end of the day"

Gerard looked at the demon that had just entered. He didn't make room for him on his side though.He appraised the male demon before him. He was attractive and seemed quite capable. But he still didn't move. He had no obligation to give this man any room.

"You are a tall fellow aren't you," He motioned for him to get a chair and bring it over. "You can sit next to your friend," he said as he pointed to Kakuzu.

Dante cracked a smile at the two guys inviting him to come sit down. He motioned a wave with his hand and said, "Ah, I can't guys. I got a place to run. This place can get a little chaotic, but I would like to know what you gents are talking about." Dante was always a curious guy, always poking into other's business. He loves to know things, whether useless or not.

"This wouldn't happen to be about Demotia's little problem is it?" His tone suddenly changed from cheerful to serious. He exchanged glances from everyone in the group, patiently awaiting their response.

Gerard shrugs at the question.

"How is that any of your business you flippant demon?" he exhaled a puff of purple smoke in his direction. "This is simply a meeting of new acquaintences. I don't see how an person who barges in and is about to leave has any clout within this conversation, whatsoever" Gerard stared at the demon's face. he couldn't figure it he was a begger or a screamer but he had good lips. Gerard turned to have a drink.

Kakuzu leaned forward, placed his elbows on his thigh and held his held together.

"This is Dante, the owner of this club, Dark Temptation" Kakuzu introduced Dante to Gerard. "He is a close friend and an ally of mine. It would be harmless for him to listen and gain some knowledge" Kakuzu paused for a moment before mentioning Eclipse "by now, I think, Eclipse should already notice that I am planning something. I think ten thousand bullets and a fifty pair of gloves should be enough... How much would that cost?"

Gerard smiled.
"We'll discuss a price after this is over i'm thinking of starting up so businesses here. I think your support and any of your 'friends' that can help me with that. I think that might cover the price." His eyes seemed to gleam as the thought of owning some territory here as well as having capable people on his side wouild be a great way to start his expansion.

I just want to say, that you seem to be taking the offensive. If what you say is true and Eclipse knows then don't you think you should prepare defenses as well?

Kakuzu eyed Gerard and spoke "what are your suggestions?"

Elena stood up, a little frustrated because of her cellphone was broken. She walked towards Dante and spoke

"Come, Dante. I'll accompany and explain our plans to you while you check on your club businesses"

Dante stayed silent from the conversation of the two men. It seemed that they were discussing dire business, and he allowed then to continue without further interruptions, but the red-haired guy annoyed him. Still, he like's him already. What were they exactly talking about? His smile returned when Elena offered to discuss their plans to him while he was doing his work. He did have a lot more to do after all, and he was glad that she offered to do so. Although, she did seem pretty annoyed by something else.

"If you insist Lady Elena." He motions for her to leave first. "After you." His voice flowed like a smooth wave across the air.

"You are a silly man, Kakuzu" Gerard said with impatient eyes, but a kind smile. "I could suggest many things, but they would be pointless if I don't know what this Eclipse can do to you? Do you have some kind of forces hidden somewhere? Some bases that he knows or doesn't know about. What kind of mana does he prefer to use? If I recall he is a big ki user. The easiest way to defend is to give him a wonderful target and then close the trap and tadaa! a sizable loss to his forces."

Gerard looked at his useless ring and knew he could still sell it for a good price.

"I could help or simply be a supplier. For now, you just need to figure what you need to do and how to do. If you let me know the plan then I could facilitate it with some of my masterpieces. It would also help if i knew when this whole things was going down so I can get everything to you in time?"

Kakuzu sighed and started to brief to Gerard

"I have not gathered much information about Eclipse but I shall brief to you what I know"

Kakuzu gestured to one of his subordinates. Not long until he came bringing along a box of cigar. He took one, cut the tip, light it, and gave it to Kakuzu.

"Eclipse's is a powerful necromancer. I have not seen him in battle myself but from what I heard, he has the power to control and shape shadows into anything he wishes. The creatures he kills, he brings back to life and becomes his controlled soldiers and protectors"

Kakuzu picked up his drink on the table. He drank a quarter of it and place it back on the table.

"Currently, he has 5 lieutenants, including me. One if a beastmen that goes by the name of Slith, a lizard-man that with a half dragon shape shadow armor. He is an expert in Ki control"

Kakuzu placed the cigar between his lips and inhaled. After a moment, he exhaled white smoke. He continued to brief.

"Another one is Bozok, a dwarf from Brunoma. I think you should know him. I heard he was an elite knight that stole a holy hammer called mountain shatter. His shadow armor looks quite normal. No special shape"

Kakuzu smoked the cigar once again before continuing

"the other two are twins... angels... Solos and Lynos... from what I heard, their souls are bounded to Eclipse. Their armor gave them the look of arch-celestial six wings as black as knight and their swords burning with black flames. They were equal in strength to any mortal, the thing that made them so hard to kill is that their physical forms could only be destroyed by weapons blessed by gods or dragon magic. Though after they were destroyed all they had to do was return to him and sacrifice a pure soul to regain their bodies"

Kakuzu gestured to his subordinate. Three of them stood and began casting a spell that made a small vortex appear. The vortex disappear and a paper appeared hovering in mid air. One of them gently took it and placed it on the table.

"here... a documented information about them"


Slith


Bozok


Solos & Lynos
