Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Kubo!!

Summary
The chapter begins as Rika finds herself in trouble as the Hadena soldiers come chasing after her before turning to Kitaro and Red as they are once again in a fury of clashes.

Kitaro uses Storm to drop apart of the roof upon Red, however he catches it with his own and sends it rocketing at Kitaro, however he throws the rocks to either sides.

Red then rockets to Kitaro floating on a slab of rock. Kitaro blocks a kick and then erects a sharp spear of rock from the ground to stab Red. However he dodges it and gets a kick in. Kitaro is sent into the air a few feet, but he maintains composure and is able to get a punch on Red. This sends him off the slab of rock and tumbling a few metres as the slab falls to the earth alongside Kitaro. Red leaps from a crawled position and sends a fury of punches Kitaro's way, which Kitaro dodges just in the nick of time through pulling his clothing back. Kitaro kicks from this laid back position and strikes Red's hand. Another kick is stopped through use of Storm on his shoe and he throws Kitaro backwards into a cartwheel. Kitaro lands to find Red in his face immediately. However when Red goes to strike Kitaro suddenly vanishes. Looking down he sees Kitaro riding the floor below him down to the first floor. Red follows him.

They now are at both sides of a new room. Kitaro lets out a big sigh as he thinks that if he only had "that", this would be a lot easier. Then suddenly a voice speaks from behind him.

"You requested my participation, Master?!" it spoke. This brings a smile to Kitaro's face as he replies:

"About time you woke up, Kubo!..."

Meanwhile Red is left completely confused as Kitaro introduces him to his companion... By flicking his finger upwards into the air, the blade that is strapped to his back shoots up and into full view. Red is shocked by this as Kitaro introduces the blade as Kubo, one of the very few Sentient Blades. All of which have a certain power...

"Kubo, show him yours!!"

"As you wish, Master!!"

As Kitaro points Kubo towards Red with his Storm the blade portion of the sword suddenly expands greatly at fast speed.

The chapter ends with the blade inches away from Red as he looks in awe...
