The New Captain's Summons

Quietly he set the blood down alongside him now. His eyes studied this situation Watching the events unfold as they were. It was a fascinating dance that continued to play out. The arrival of the former Captain Commander and the Vice-Captain Commander. And Ulv as well, he felt like a monkey's uncle. Next would be his uncle popping by for a stroll. So many names who were legends among the young. Sadly no healers among them. Most of these were warriors or diplomatic powerhouses. His eyes turned back to the confrontation taking place. He watched as one of them dropped out now. Takehiko began getting up from his spot as Ulv began speaking. She was an intimidating presence as always. Someone to be feared and respected in equal measures. A sudden powerful pulse of anger and hate came in. "Kill, kill them and destroy them. Rip the bones from their bodies and render them asunder. His frame paused as he gritted his teeth through it. Akuma's anger was toxic almost like poison running inside him.

His hand rose initially holding the position of a Sokatsui spell. "Kill and destroy them. Destroy the Weaklings!" The voices whispered with anger inside him more. It was like a poison his breathing accelerated as he thought quickly about it. He could feel the teeming anger something trying to kill him. "Kill them or die..like a dog.." His world shattered for a moment as he entered his inner domain. His form twisting grabbing Akuma suddenly by his jaw. His eyes held anger in them as Takehiko's rage grew. His anger was becoming hot as his frame radiated heat. His eyes held the look of a killer. He wasn't some scared child looking at Akuma now. "I'll kill you...Takehiko.FIGHT MURDER THEM! " Inhaling for a moment his hand released its grip on his hollow's mouth.

"Begone, I will not play by your mindless games Akuma. If you wish to challenge me..then do it and stop being a coward!" Takehiko's anger had grown a bit within his inner world. Conversations didn't work with Akuma only Takehiko's unbridled anger beneath the surface. His eyes came back to reality as he pointed a hand over towards Durza. Ulv didn't step in on Laskt so he'd trust her judgment in that sense. But as a doctor is Durza was out he fell into his care. Suddenly a green orb began forming around Durza's body. This orb suddenly wrapped threads of green around him. Takehiko's kido spell known as Life Cocoon had been activated. "Not good enough, you cowardly mongrel. I'll take this body..I'll takes it to blast you into nothing. " Takehiko's eyes closed focusing now. Restraint was needed here, he couldn' best Akuma. Akuma didn't run or step away from that moment. Anger fuels anger and that was what came of it. Takehiko could not in earnest defeat him. Not alone fighting against Akuma was going to have to begin. Soon in the future, he'd need to begin dealing with that.

Sweat dripped from his forehead as he turned around. Nothing good would come of him remaining here. He'd cause trouble for the students in this situation. He'd have someone else take over. Akuma's fights and fits were getting severe now. Trying to form a connection with it had only unleashed true anger. Ulv was right this darkness couldn't be quelled. Nor could it be relied on for things, such childish beliefs. His childish and hubris were astounding. What made him think himself better then Ulv Aubur. Someone who knew more about hollows in five lifetimes then he could in any period. During this period before he stepped in small flashes of eyes changing color. Not good his blackouts were coming more frequently. More often it seemed and his control on that hollow wavered. Being friends what a stupid notion. Takehiko began gathering his equipment quietly. Before he sent a hell butterfly off and set the blood down on the ground. Put on a brave face for the moment. While putting Ame in a similar kido spell, he closed his eyes for a moment.

He could feel sweat dripping down his spine from nerves. His eyes shifted towards Ulv now for a moment. If only he'd listened to her sooner and taken precautions. Maybe he wouldn't be in this state now. Maybe he would have been able to face her with it now. The only choice was to leave this in another healer's hands. He wouldn't risk hurting people in the middle of training. They were here for something important. He gave Ulv one final glance as he acknowledged it now. She had been right about so many things. He'd been an arrogant brat about everything. Everything and now he paid the price for it, suffered the consequences of his hubris. He'd ask her for help but, he doubted she'd do it. This was a problem of his own making. Because he didn't guard against it because he took what suited him. He treated darkness as his brother and this was what came. She was right down to the letter and all he could do. All he could ever do at this point was to leave this place.

To go somewhere secluded and fight for his life within him. Not to completely subjugate his hollow. How did he do it, how did he get where Ulv had? Or was it greater hubris again. Thinking he could even get to that domain. The road to hell was paved with good intentions. And he had formed a noose around his neck. That was what Takehiko had done and Ulv had called it such. All those visits ago, when she beat him to a pulp. When she used her strength and hit him hard. She'd been trying to reach through his stupid brain.

These are the innermost monsters, they aren't your friend. They are hunting you like a sheep you foolish brat. His frame walked away now closing his eyes. Unsure when he'd return to his friends. Or if he would even be around anymore after. That was the level of danger he found himself in. The danger of being swallowed up because he was, in the end, a fool.
