Enenra Baku/Otae Takamiya's Story

"See you later Tae-chan!" The raven-haired girl said as she waved goodbye. Otae waved back, putting an triumphant smile on his face.
'Sometimes these girls just make it too easy' He thought to himself as he chuckled and began leaving the school grounds. Otae looked up into the sky and noticed that it was already getting kind of dark. "Huh. Maybe I should have brought her home. Mizu is on a 3-day schooltrip afterall, and mom is out of town." He said aloud to himself, casting a sinister grin. "Bring who home exactly?" Otae heard a familiar voice ask him. He turned and looked upon the class rep with the same sinister gaze.
"Well if it isn't the class rep. How about it? Would you prefer I take you home instead?" He asked nonchalantly.
"As if. I'm not one of those stupid girls you're always picking up, Takamiya. I'm here to keep you in line." She stated before grabbing Otae's shirt collar and balling her free hand into a fist. "My, my. Is this any way for a class rep to act? Violence is never the answer Shizuka-chan~" Otae commented, mocking her.
"Don't you call me by my first name, you trash!" Shizuka yelled out before sending her punch towards Otae's face, which he easily blocked since he knew it was coming. When she was going to punch him, Shizuka let go of his collar, once again giving him mobility. He quickly spun around Shizuka and grabbed her wrists, resting his chin on her neck. "Come on. You know you can't resist me for long. Even a girl as sheltered as you." He mocked. Shizuka blushed before rearing her leg up and sending it backward, hitting Otae where the sun don't shine. He doubled over holding his vital regions in pain. "F-...Fuck..." He managed.
"Hmph. That should teach you a lesson." Shizuka said before walking off, and leaving Otae there. After a few minutes, he managed to recover.
"That bitch... I'll definately make her regret this later." Otae said, panting a little.

As Otae started home, he still couldn't help but notice that it was really too dark for it to be just 3:30. "What the hell is going on? Is it daylight savings?" He said to himself before a heavy object ran into him, toppling him over. "Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" He exclaimed pushing the person who had knocked him down off of him. His face went a little pale as he saw a woman about the age of 19 bleeding from several wounds, and panting heavily. "What the f-"
"Hehehehe. It looks like you've finally reached the limit that body can withstand, Enenra. Why not just stay still so I can finish you off? I'll make it quick and painless. Well... Maybe. Hehehehehe" Otae was cut off by a deep, intimidating voice. Slowly he shifted his head to the side and laid eyes upon a horrific monster. It was some type of humanoid, but Otae could definately feel some kind of demonic presence coming from it. He shook a little, but made sure that his voice wouldn't shake with it.
"What are you exactly?" He asked the creature. "Whats this? This human can see me?" The tedlar began walking towards Otae and the bleeding woman slowly.
Otae could feel his heartbeat pulse at every step. "Listen human. For I will now reveal the name of your killer. My name is Unis, and I am a mid-level tedlar."
The monster said to Otae. "Tedlar? Just what in the hell is th-... Ugh." Otae began before darting his eyes down to see that the monster had stabbed him through the chest with it's fingers. "W-... Why?" He uttered before falling to the ground, blood pertruding from his mouth. As Otae's vision began to blur, he noticed the woman next to him had stopped breathing. Probably dead from the blood less. Otae soon noticed that it had become hard to breath. His lungs had been punctured and blood was filling them up.
'Damn it... I don't want to die like this...' Otae thought before he began to drift into unconsiousness.

'If that is the case, then would you like to make a contract with me?' Otae heard a voice say to him in the depths of his mind. 'Please... I just want to live...' Otae pleaded to the voice in his head. 'Very well. I shall begin the contract. I'm sorry to say that I've mislead you. Once I have completed the contract, your body shall not completely be your own. You will only have control of it, when I permit you to. Because of my situation, I shall need to steal it in order to meet my goals.' Otae couldn't even process enough thought to respond, before the last bit of life drained from his eyes.
"Damn. Looks like I took to long playing with that human. Enenra went and died on his own. Unis complained, after checking the woman's corpse. The tedlar turned to leave before it noticed an aura immiating behind it. "What the...? Enenra? You're still alive?! Wait a minute... No Inferno Hell appeared after Enenra died... That means he must have moved to the body of the human I just killed!" The tedlar exclaimed as it turned to see Otae's body standing, with a dark aura surrounding him. His hair turned a darker gray and his left eye turned pure yellow. His right eye however appeared to be a small black abyss with a single blue jem resting in the middle. "You bastard... This time I'll make sure to kill you before you have a chance to switch to a different corpse." Unis stated before charging foward at incredible speed, shooting his arm foward and piercing Otae in the stomach. Otae spit up blood, as he soon came into consiousness. "W-what the hell?! My chest stopped hurting, but my stomach feels like shit..." He stated before realising that the tedlar from before was impaling him. He cried out in pain as the tedlar threw him into a telephone pole. "W-w-w-w-what the hell is going on?!" Otae panicked.

'Calm yourself, human! I need you to calm down!... This is strange. How is it that you are able to maintain your own consiousness? Nevermind that. For now, we must rid ourselves of this eyeswore. Such a truly disgusting being. Listen carefully human. With our combined power, we may stand a chance against this enemy. You just have to do what I tell you. You were just killed, and my power is what is keeping you alive at the moment. But if you don't listen to what I have to say, then we're both dead. First, take a look at your chest. Its already begun healing, see? Because of me, your body can heal at a high acceleration. Next I need you to perform a simple fist spell. That should at the very least buy us some time.' The voice began explaining. 'Wait... Who are you? What are you talking about? What do you mean I'm dead?!' Otae yelled at the voice in his head, too frightened to say it out loud. 'We don't have time for that. I'll explain later. 1st I need you to get up.' Otae did as he was told, as the tedlar known as Unis was only a few yards away from him. 'That Tedlar's name is Unis. He specializes in mid-ranged attacks that involve his fingers. If we can hit him from long range or melee range, we should be victorious. Unfortunantly I don't have enough Invento Hell to cast any energy spells, so our best bet is melee range. The problem is getting past his mid-ranged attacks...'
'I-...I got it! I just need to avoid his fingers when he shoots them at me, and I can land a hit on him. But just how do I use this Iveeta Hall thing?' Otae asked.
'Its called Invento He-... Nevermind. Just concentrate on your hand. Focus and imagine energy building into it.' Otae did as he was told, and felt power building in his fist. 'Woah! What was that?!' He remarked, astonished at the power building in his hand. 'That is the power of Invento Hell being utilized. Next time, don't charge another fist until we've reached him. It will only waste more Invento Hell. Look sharp! You're within range of his fingers now.'
'Got it...' Otae responded, starring the deadly tedlar right in the eyes.
"Lets finish this, Enenra." Unis said before aiming his hand in Otae's direction and shooting his fingers foward. Otae saw where the first one was coming and moved to dodge it. This was successful, but he didn't see another one coming right from behind. "Shit!" Surprisingly, Otae managed to avoid not only that finger but several more in a second.
'M-my body avoided them on it's own!' Otae exclaimed in his head.
'You're welcome human. Now hurry up and get to him!' The voice shouted, obviously annoyed. Otae rushed foward, noticing that Unis still hadn't shot the fingers from his other hand. Unis cackled, before unleashing his other fingers. With the voice's help, Otae was able to successfully avoid all of them. "What?!" The tedlar exclaimed, now nervous. 'Now! Charge the fist spell!'
Otae concentrated on his fist, and brought it up to the tedlar face.
"No way! Even at this weakened state..." Unis said, before the fist went through his face and continued through the rest of his head. What was left of Unis's body fell to the ground and then dispersed, leaving behind what appeared to be a floating soul. Otae panted, unable to comprehend what had just happened.

'Congradulations human. You've just killed your first tedlar. Do you see that floating object there? Touch it. That is a condensed form of the Invento Hell that tedlar has gathered.' Otae hesitated at first, but then took a deep breath before walking toward the Invento Hell and touching it. The soul soon dissapeared and entered Otae's body.
"What exactly did that do?" Otae asked as if it was something completely normal.
'Strange. I thought that would surprise you more. You are definatly not a normal human.'The voice answered.
"So... You told me that you're whats keeping me alive, right? Is there a way to get my life back?" Otae asked.
'Right to the point I see. As for a way to revive yourself... There is a way, but I'm not exactly sure how accurate it is. I've never performed the ressurection spell before.'
"Ressurection spell? Whats that?" Otae asked, interested in hearing this. 'The ressurection spell is the only known power that is said to be able to revive a living being. However, it requires over 1,000 Invento Hell to perform. Even with that, it isn't 100% that the spell will work.' The voice explained. Otae thought for a second. "So basically I need to gather over 1,000 Invento Hell to "POSSIBELY" get my life back... Just what kind of sick joke is this?"
'I'm afraid that it is far from a joke, human. However, I do believe that we have somewhat of a common goal. I need to recover Invento Hell in order to fend off my pursuers, and you need Invento Hell to revive yourself. Surely you wouldn't mind working together?' The voice proposed.
"I guess not... Shit... This is just too much to take... By the way. My name is Takamiya Otae. Whats your's?" He asked.
'I see that you at least have manors. My name is Enenra Baku'

Otae opened his eyes the next morning, feeling somewhat empty. Like he was merely an shell of a body without a soul. Then suddenly all the memories came back to him in a flash, and he started hyperventilating. "T-theres no way that was real, right? Theres so such things as tedlars, right? Yeah. It was just a weird dream. Ahahaha!" He started speaking hysterically after his breathing had calmed, before breaking into a laugh.
'No such thing as tedlars? Don't be such a fool. Besides, its impossible for you to dream while I am around.' Otae stopped laughing immediatly after the oh-so-familiar voice spoke.
"No way... It wasn't a dream after all?" Otae sighed, seeming more dissapointed than he did surprised.
'Don't tell me you forgot about our deal, Otae. We need to gather over 1,000 Invento Hell to bring you back to life, remember?'
"I get it already. Just give me some time to process everything,... Er... What was your name again?" Otae asked.

'You are truly hopeless... My name in Enenra. Remember this time!' Enenra exclaimed, annoyed. "Ah, right. Enenra. So who exactly are these guys who are after you, anyway?" Otae asked. 'Those who are after me happen to be 3 of the 4 tedlar lords. Calla Tor of the East, Masae Tamura from the South, and Rukimu Crossfire of the West. She is by far the most dangerous of the three. They all have hundreds of servant under them who will also be attacking us. The one you killed last night was one of Masae's tedlars. She will most likely be the first tedlar lord we face, since we tedlar lords can sense when out servants die and who is responsible for their death.' Enenra explained. "3? What about the tedlar lord of the North?" Otae questione. 'Ah... Well. You see. The tedlar lord of the North is...' Enenra began, obviously hesitant to answer this question. "Well? Who is this North? Out with it already." Otae ordered, getting a little impatient. 'The the tedlar of the North is... me.' Enenra finished, awaiting Otae's response. "Oh? Is that it? To be truthful, I kind of guessed that was the case." Otae stated bluntly as he began putting on his informal-ware.
"Man. Weekends are the best!" He exclaimed. 'Does anything ever surprise you that doesn't involve mortal wounds?' Enenra asked.

"Hm? Not really. I just figured if I have to live with you living in my head for a while, I'll have to start getting used to unnatural things." Otae responded, heading into the bathroom and looking into the mirror, while readjusting his bedhead. 'Tedlars ussually don't reveal themselves in broad daylight, so I suppose we are safe for the time being. We should try and search for low-ranked tedlars or the weaker mid-level tedlars like Unis.' Enenma stated.
"Too troublesome. I don't have time to go around hunting your kind." Otae replied, grabbing his toothbrush and toothpaste. 'Is that so? Then what exactly do you plan on doing today? I wouldn't mind seeing how humans spend their everyday lives. I came her to experience it for myself afterall'
"Isn't that obvious?" Otae began before spitting out the tooth paste residue in the sink, then rinsing his mouth out with water. "I'm gonna pick up some chicks!" He exclaimed proudly. 'Pick up some chicks you say? What possible amusement could you derive from picking up prepubescent egglaying, fowls? They are quite loud, and irritating.' Enenra responded. Otae shook his head. Before grabbing his housekeys and walking out the front door. "You have absolutely no idea, Enenra."

Otae eyed ever girl he could lay his eyes on, wearing a serious expression as he sat upon the park bench.
'This atmosphere is so serious. Its as if you're stalking prey, rather than searching for a mate.' Enenra replied. 'Who said I was looking for a mate? Do you know how hard it is to find a girl who will sleep with you on a first date at my age? There are no decent girls around at the moment anyway.' Otae responded, making sure not to speak to Enenra out loud while he is in public. 'A date? What is that?' Last I heard it was some type of fruit. Why would you bed your female counterpart on top of a fruit? Enenra asked, innocently. 'Quit making humans seem so complicated... Hey Enenra. Earlier this morning you said that its impossible for me to dream. Is that the case with all humans who have tedlars inside them?' Otae asked. 'Well... Seeing as most humans who are inhabited by tedlars are unable to control their own bodies unless the tedlar permits them to, yes. But you can't dream because of me for a different reason.'
'Oh? What exactly would this reason be?' Otae asked, slightly interested.

'I possess an ability that no other tedlar has. I can consume dreams, nightmares, and anything involving spiritual energy in general.' Enenra explained.
'Seriously? How come no other tedlar can do that? What makes you so special?'
'I do not know that answer myself. I have been able to consume dreams ever since I can remember. They serve as somewhat of an replacement for Invento Hell for me. You see, Invento Hell is more than just the power we tedlars use to fight. It is our very essence. Our life source. To run out of Invento Hell means to die. Of course even with my dream eating ability, I will still die if I run out of Invento Hell. That is why I pressed you not to waste it when we were fighting Unis.'
'So that basically means that overusing your Invento Hell will kill you, and if you die then I die?' Otae asked.
'That is correct. This is also the reason I want you to kill weak tedlars so that we can get more Inveno Hell. We are not yet at a level to where we can take on the tedlar lords or even their high tedlar... Hey Otae. Are you listening?' Enenra asked, noticing that Otae had stopped paying attention.

"Shes got a nice body." Otae said aloud, while starring at a beautiful brunette who had just wandered into a small resteraunt. After a little bit a man also entered the resteraunt and approached her, appearing to be quite familiar with the woman. "Damn. Looks like shes already take." Otae commented, kind of dissapointed.
'Do you even realize how dire our situation is? How can you remain so calm?'
'Weren't you the one who told me to calm down earlier? Let me at least enjoy myself a little before you go on about killing tedlars and collecting Invento whatever.' Otae replied, arrogantly. 'They're called Invento Hell! And that was only because we would have been killed then if you had kept panicking!' Enenra yelled, feeling quite frusterated with Otae. Otae let out a laugh, before getting up off of the bench. 'Very well. Then why don't we start searching for these so-called weak tedlar?'

'So... How exactly were we supposed to find these tedlars again, Enenra?' Otae asked after having had wandered around for about 5 minutes.
'You really don't listen, do you? Tedlar ussually don't reveal themselves in broad daylight. If we're going to catch one during the daytime, then we'll need to do it in a secluded area. At least somewhere where we won't be spotted. But then again, it also leaves us wide up for stronger tedlar to attack.' Enenra replied.
'Seriously? This really is more trouble than its worth.' Otae remarked. 'Is it worth more than your life? I would imagine so. Wouldn't you, Otae?'
'...Shut up. I don't wanna be outsmarted by some stu-'

"Yo, Takamiya!" Otae began before he was cut off by a male voice. It had come from Kitomaru, a fellow classmate of his. Kitomaru was with a few of Otae's other classmates, for some reason hanging around a candy shop. 'Some what now?' Enenra asked.
'Great. Just what do these guys want?' Otae sighed before walking towards the group. 'Hey! Don't ignore me! What were you about to say?!'
"So, Takamiya. Did you get Takizawa's digits? How far did you get with her?" One of the other classmates asked him chuckling.
"Ah, Takizawa. I got her mail, but I haven't really planed anything yet." Otae responded. "Huh? I figured a playboy like you would have already gotten in-"
"Please don't talk about me as if you actually know me. I assure you, I have a much more complex character than that." Otae responded, starring the boy right in the eye. "Now if you'll excuse me. I don't have time to waste on the likes of you." Otae said, walking past the group. He could have sworn he heard a couple of them cursing him behind his back.

'That was kind of cool, Otae.' Enenra complimented him, somewhat impressed. 'You think so? Try not to fall for me.' Otae replied with a chuckle.
'Why would I fall down for no good reason? Do you think I'm a cluts?' Enenra asked. '...You really need to update your knowledge of presentday termonology.' Otae stated, before he noticed someone starring at him. He turned to see the same woman from before was now standing not too far away, giving him the most seductive glare. 'Oh? Maybe she just dumped that guy from earlier. Lucky.' Otae thought to himself, forgetting that Enenra could read his thoughts.
'Although I'm not really sure what dumping someone means, I can tell that you are thinking of something unpure. Seriously, Otae.' Enenra lectured.
'Keep your opinions to yourself. I don't need you interfering with my love life.' Otae replied, beginning to make his way over to the woman.
Wait, Otae! I don't trust that woman... Something seems off about her. Enenra stated, noticing that the woman gave off an almost inhuman aura. He couldn't distinguish it very well, but just had a feeling. 'Why is that? You sure you're not just jealous?' Otae replied. 'Otae...'
'Fine, fine. If it makes you feel so uncomfortable, I'll let her go 'this' time.' Otae said, turning around and heading to wherever his legs took him.

After a little while Otae noticed another girl with long, black hair. The woman didn't seem much older than Otae, yet still had an air about her that made her seem dignified and mature. She was also quite the looker, and caught Otae's interest. 'What do you think, Enenra. She a tedlar?' Otae joked, while walking up to her.
'I don't know. But if you are going to approach her, then be careful.' Enenra responded, not noticing that Otae was being sarcastic.
"Hey there, miss. My named is Takamiya Otae. If I may ask, what would your name happen to be?" Otae asked the woman, before bowing liesurely in greeting. However, there was one thing that both Otae and Enenra failed to notice. This woman had a little bit of blood on her clothes.

Masae was just thinking to herself how she could try out her new body with out running up a reputation. "Hmmm what to start with." She said out loud and tapped her chin and looking up in the air. She smiled and looked up and took in a deep breath. She was just starting to think about what to do when she heard a voice confront her. "Hey there, miss. My named is Takamiya Otae. If I may ask, what would your name happen to be?" She turned to look at the man who had talked to her. When she turned to him she had this displeased look about her. She then changed her look after just a few second to that of a cute girl who was blushing from being talked to. She giggled. "Me." She pointed at herself. "I'm Tamura." She said and then put a finger on her lips. "If you are lucky you might learn my given name." After that she put her hands behind her back and thought. Well I guess this could be one way to test this out to see if I have these things down; Plus this guy is not half bad looking. She chuckled after that thought wondering what would be happening next on her little adventure.

The girl was obviously deep in thought before Otae had confronted her. Once she took notice of him, he had already repositioned himself, probably meaning she missed his bow. Minor setback in showing off his gentleman qualities. Otae was surprised with the complete and utter look of disgust she gave him, and almost wondered if he should just let this one go as well. Then the girl spontaneously reverted back to a cute girl almost instantly. She even began giggling.
'That was a little strange...' Otae thought.
"Me. I'm Tamura. If you are lucky you might learn my given name." The girl said as she pointed to herself. The mature, adult-like vibe she gave of earlier had completely deminished. Now she was acting like a cute, flirtatious highschool girl.
'What do you mean? She seems fairly normal to me, Otae. Although her last name does trouble me a little...' Enenra replied, even though Otae having not really been listening, didn't know why her last name worried Enenra.

Otae quickly looked back to see if the seductive woman from earlier was behind him. 'Huh. Guess she wasn't following me afterall. I could have sworn...' Otae thought.
He then quickly turned back to Tamura and smiled. "Well, Tamura-chan. I do hope that I get the luxury of learning your first name. I'm sure that it is a beautiful one at that." Otae responded, suavely. Just before Otae was about to ask Tamura if she wanted to go on a date with him, he was interupted by Enenra.
'Otae... Something doesn't feel right all of a sudden...'
'Oh please. Are you sure you're not just getting jealous?' Otae replied, not taking Enenra seriously.

All of a sudden an immense hostile energy surged through Otae's body. "W-what the hell? Enenra. Are you doing this?" Otae asked outloud in a panick.
'Fool! Don't say my name out loud! Anyway, we have to run now. A powerful tedlar has sensed us and isn't bothering to hide their power... I think it may be a tedlar lord.' Enenra replied. 'Sorry... S-seriously?! Shit!' Otae exclaimed in his head before grabbing Tamura's hand and rushing foward at top speed. He didn't care where he was going, as long as he was getting away from whatever was chasing him. 'Why are you taking her with us?! You're only endangering this girl's life by doing that!'
Enenra exclaimed. Otae looked back at her with his eyes while he was still running. He hadn't even noticed that he had snagged her. 'Damn it. Well its too late now...'
"S-sorry. But I need you to come with me real quick. Theres a dangerous person after me at the moment." Otae explained to her, as his breath began to grow heavy.

After a little while longer Otae stopped to catch his breath. 'Just give me a few seconds Enenra. I just need to rest a little.' Otae said.
'Its ok Otae. I think that the hostile figure is gone for now. We should be safe for the moment. But... What is a tedlar lord doing here? Its been forever since I've last met the other tedlar lords. Has their power really grown that much since then? Enenra replied, adding in his own thoughts.
'Wait. So you're telling me that the tedlar lords have gotten stronger than when you last saw them? When was that exactly?' Otae asked.
'Around... 280 years ago. We ussually keep to ourselves for the most part. It is on rare occasions that we ever meet up.' Enenra replied.
Otae stopped catching his breath and turned to see how Tamura was doing. He didn't exactly recall her gasping for air like he did, but then again he wasn't paying attention to her at the time either. "Um... Everything is ok now. We're safe." Otae told her.
'What do you mean we? What motive did you have to bring this girl along anyway? Enenra asked. Otae decided to ignore that question.
"Again. Sorry about all of that. I guess there isn't much hope on you going on a date with me now, huh?" Otae asked while trying to play the embarrassed, insecure, shy boy act while scratching his cheek nervously.

Masae was having fun with the boy when something odd started to happen. She felt some power rise and the name "Enenra" was stated. She felt like that name should have triggered something. But she then let it go and tried to find out where the power was coming from but that could mean exposing herself to find it but she would keep it hidden. The boy then grabbed her hand and started to run. When he has explained that someone dangerous was after him. 'So that could be the power i felt then.' she thought to herself. "Okay." she said a little quietly. After cutting a few corners they had finally come to a stop. He let go and started to breath heavily. The boy then apologized again and mentioned something about a date.

Masae then remembering that she was suppose to be a human doubled over and started to breath heavily. She stood up straight after a minute or so and said. "Well I think you might have a chance. That was the first time I have ever been whisked away before and it was kinda fun." She then smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "But the next time you wish to go on a run you should let me know so I can wear the right clothing." She then laughed. "Well now where to?"
