Kurai floated in an endless space, accepting his fate. Suddenly, he felt as someone was stabbing his heart. An enormous pain was inflicted on his body. Multiple headaches started at once, his body shook uncontrollably, and he couldn't breath, suffocating.
"What is happening? Wasn't I dead? Why am I still feeling something? Why me? Just let me die already." Kurai thought in agony.
He felt a warm touch on his leg, reminiscent of his mother's touch. "It feels like its my mother. I bet that this is my mother. She came to help me. She touches me everywhere with her warm touch. Please same me, Mom!"
He opened his eyes, crying, wanting to see his mother, but there were two seductive women pleasing him instead. He looked around the room, which looked strangely unfamiliar. Confusion set in.
"What...is happening?
"Sorry for ruining your dreams, but none of us is your mother." said the blonde woman.
"So...it was just a dream..." Kurai mumbled.
"Please don't tell Him that we didn't satisfy your dreams." the shy girl pleaded.
"Who's...him?
"What? He brought you here, but you don't even know His name? the blonde replied incredulously. "You are such a bad guest."
"Shhh, don't talk like that to Kurai. He told us to treat him like a god." the shy girl scolded
"Fine, fine. Then let's continue. Kurai, get your clothes off, or do you want me to take them off for you?"
Kurai stared at the ceiling, unresponsive.
"Heh? What is wrong with you?" the blonde asked.
"Did...DID WE DO SOMETHING WRONG, MASTER?" the shy girl asked, panicking.
"Am I dead or alive?" Kurai asked.
Both girls looked confused.
"I...believe you are alive if you are here with us."
"Why am I still alive?"
"Hey! I don't really know everything. I'm just here to follow His orders. I don't ask questions, so please stop asking me things." the blonde snapped.
"Who's he?" Kurai insisted.
"Didn't I just-" the blonde began, but was interrupted by a heavy pressure filling the room.
"After you, I AM your next enemy. The unbeatable Wrath Sin of Youkuma. Yclept Rapscallion." a strange voice boomed from the other side of the room.
Kurai was frightened by his presence. Rapscallion vaporized into a shadow and appeared in Kurai's face, caressing his chin.
'Death surrounds. My heartbeat is going crazy. I can't control myself. I feel the shadow creeping into my mind.'
With inhuman speed, Kurai got out of the bed and instantly moved behind Rapscallion, cutting his neck, still full of fright.
Rapscallion blinked twice, confused. "What just happened? Why did you do that? You didn't like the girls I sent you?"
"What? How are you still intact?" Kurai asked bewildered.
"What do you mean?" Rapscallion responded, touching his neck, confused. "Cut with what? You know, my skin's pretty thick.
"Heh? What do you mean 'with what'? With my swo-" Kurai stopped. "Where is my sword?"
With a creepy smile "Oh.... so you just found out. You don't have any abilities. And you can;t do anything to me, especially."
"OOF... How sad. I take care of you, I give you what any man from earth would want his whole life, two top-level women, and you still try to kill me? You are a weird one."
"What do you want from me, and why is my sword not coming out?" Kurai asked, confused.
"Don't you remember? I brought you here so I might as well tell you everything. You fought Nazrat, right? And you won. Kind of. You sacrificed your soul by killing yourself and Nazrat at the same time. I saw everything. I know everything. And I decided that you deserve to survive a little longer. You were able to beat one of my comrades, so I saved you. As you are now, you are only a soul. That's why you may feel a little lighter. Your actual body is still on Earth. I made sure it wouldn't die under any conditions. Your body has Regeneration III , like in the game Minecraft. Have you played it? What a masterpiece."
"I don't care about your game. Get over it." Kurai snapped.
"OOF... you are so stubborn. So, even though I saved you, I only saved you from death. The hit that you did to yourself still affected you. Your question was 'Why is my sword not coming out?' right? You lost it. Your Itsuko is nonexistent. You got such a fatal hit that you aren't able to use Itsuko anymore. And about the question 'What do you want from me?' I saved you for only one reason. I want you to make a contract with a Youkai.
