Chapter 1 – New Foes
This morning in Misaki City was just like any other day for every single living thing living there, that is living thing it is. But for our Flame Haze heroines, it was a different story.
Wilhelmina Carmel was walking in the busy streets after a day of shopping with plastic bags full in her hands. She headed to the direction of Yuji's house, walking by an alleyway, her mind thinking of what to do for the rest of the day. Afterall, Shana and Yuji have gone to school and Chigusa, Yuji's mother, had gone overseas to visit her husband, which was why Wilhelmina was temporarily living at Yuji's place. With that as the case, Wilhelmina would be home alone for the rest of the day until Yuji and Shana gets home and it would bore the hell out of her.
Wilhelmina was thinking about making lunch for them, but on the first day she cooked a meal for them, Shana vomited on the floor and Yuji was admitted into the hospital for food poisoning for three days. Then, for the remaining five days, they decided to buy their own meal outside, or eat in restaurants. Apparently, Wilhelmina was awful in cooking. She still remembered very well she set Chigusa's kitchen into ruins when she took the liberty and cooked.
Wilhelmina was deeply in her thought that she did not notice a figure standing on the roof and was watching her unknowingly. She also did not notice that a student with school uniform was running at her direction. When she noticed, the student had bumped into her and she fell to the floor due to lack of balance, her bags fell on the floor with her and melon buns dropped out of them.
The student neither apologized nor looked at her direction had hurried off. Wilhelmina, feeling a little angry, stood up and picked up her items one by one and stuffed them into her bags. She then turned towards the direction of her destination and found a figure standing there.
This figure was a male that looked like he was in high school. He had dark black hair and wore a black T-shirt with a white skull printed on it. On top of the skull writes a few numbers, "3:16". The bottom part of the body was filled with long khaki jeans and sneakers of the colors black and white.
Wilhelmina continued to stare at that person without making a sound. She did not know who that person is, but she knew that this guy was not a human. In fact, he was a……
"Mystes…" Wilhelmina whispered.
"Flame Haze," The guy replied.
For the next few minutes both of them continued to stare at each other, with the male Mystes advancing on Wilhelmina, extremely slowly.
"My name is Kojiro Takasu, a Mystes. Can you introduce yourself?" He said. He had a coarse voice which sounded like a yakuza. As a matter of fact, he had characteristics so much like a yakuza with his shirt and his muscles, although his facial appearance proved otherwise.
Wilhelmina said nothing.
"Well, keep your mouth shut. It's fine. I'll look you up on Facebook..." Kojiro said stupidly. He took out his phone and said, "I'll use the GPRS, I don't have my laptop with me right no- Wait a minute, why am I acting so stupid? I already know you! You're Wilhelmina Carmel, the Banjou no Shite! Ryosuke said so! (Ryosuke: Yahoo! Michiru put my name in his novel!) That's why I'm here!"
"Ryosuke?" Wilhelmina thought to herself. Was Ryosuke another Mystes same gang with Kojiro?
Kojiro then continued, "I know you're trying to protect this helluva Nowhereseville, but I've got something to do here. You see, Kuvestar told us to find this Mystes called G-" He suddenly stopped. "Now, dang! I told you too much!"
Kuvestar, Wilhelmina thought, must have been another Mystes who knew Kojiro well, and this name, too, was unknown to Wilhelmina.
"It seems that right now, I have to settle things with you! You know too many of our secrets AND you'll be thinking of ruining it!" Kojiro yelled. "Which is why, now, you're going to meet Hades!"
Kojiro lifted his hand above his head and clutched it. The skies of Misaki City suddenly turned red. The Fuzetsu was apparently activated. Then, Kojiro put his hands in front of his face, similar to what John Cena does when he uses Five Knuckle Shuffle, but of course, Kojiro wasn't shaking his hands. It was almost like his hand was a hundred percent stationary.
Suddenly, his hands, covered with skin, suddenly changed. The colors of his hand suddenly turned grey and began to look a little shiny. His hand turned into steel.
"I haven't fully introduced myself, huh? I'm Kojiro Takasu, otherwise known as Shinigami no Te." He said and was beginning to smirk at Wilhelmina.
Wilhelmina knew things were getting serious. Kojiro wanted a battle and she must defend herself. With a flash, Tiamat, Wilhelmina's Persona, transformed into a mask and Wilhelmina wore it. She then conjured some ribbons out of nowhere and pulled its end with her both hands.
Kojiro chuckled, "This would be interesting. Make sure you entertain me, okay?"
Wilhelmina replied softly, "Stop stealing Bel Peol's lines."
"Yeah, whatever," Kojiro said in an Inuyasha-ish sound, "You won't be seeing tomorrow anyway, so why do you even bother?"
Tiamat, which was always quiet, said in a monotone suddenly, "Be careful. I can tell that it's strong."
Kojiro smiled and said, "Hey, thanks for the compliment! I didn't know you think so highly of me! I'm honored!"
Wilhelmina made the tip of her ribbon sharp, grabbed it and threw it at Kojiro while he did his talking. However, Kojiro was not stupid. He grabbed Wilhelmina's incoming ribbon and squeezed it with all his might. "I said I won't let you!" he said with a grin.
Wilhelmina rolled her eyes. Kojiro seems to have a habit of stealing people's lines.
"Yes, I know, I know. I didn't pay the copyright fees, okay, okay… But so what? There's a reason behind me doing this, wanna know why?" Kojiro said. After pausing for a second, he continued (And Wilhelmina did not say she wants to know, ass!) ,"Did you remember the previous time you've battled with the Senpen? Remember what happened? HAHA! You got owned! All he did was attack your shield- err... Should I call it shield? Maybe tissue paper would be better, haha! AND YOU ENDED UP WITH A BLOODY FACE AND GOT YOUR MASKED FORM DEACTIVATED! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! And this is your fate for today when you have me as your battle opponent!"
Wilhelmina clutched her fists in anger. Trust Kojiro in reminding her a past that she longed to forget. His arrogance, his stupid voice and even his stupid habit of stealing people's lines, she hates him! She then fired a couple of deadly ribbon missiles at Kojiro's direction, which found it's mark and exploded. Smoke engulfed the spot which the missiles just hit.
"Did I do it?" Wilhelmina thought. She knew the battle could not have ended so easily. "Not by just one hit," she thought.
All of a sudden, Kojiro charged at Wilhelmina from the depths of smoke. His fists clenched, "That's the best you can give me? This is so wasting my time! Whatever! I'll quit playing and I'm outta here!"
Kojiro aimed a punch at Wilhelmina's face, but Wilhelmina dodged it. Kojiro leaped away and landed with virtually no sound, although he landed hard. "I see, such slow evasion rate…"
Kojiro charged at Wilhelmina for the third time, this time without warning, and Wilhelmina was caught off guard. She opened her eyes wide in shock. "How fast!" she thought.
Kojiro , who was centimeters in front of Wilhelmina, smirked and said, "And you wanna know why I stole Gyakuri no Saisha 's lines? Because, if I'm not mistaken, your previous encounter with her, you got hit in the belly twice and only receiving two attacks you were sprawling on the floor and moaning! HAHAHA! And right now, history will repeat itself again!"
Kojiro's fists made hard contact with Wilhelmina's belly.
"!!!!!" Wilhelmina let out a loud cry and coughed blood out of her mouth. She was lifted off the ground and hit the floor with another yelp of pain. Wilhelmina tried to stand up, but it was impossible. The pain on her belly was unbearable. She kneeled on the floor, clutched her belly and shook vigorously while squeaking , "Sskk…Sskk…Skk…Skk…"
Kojiro walked towards Wilhelmina and let out a loud laugh. "Another one-hit KO victory!" He said proudly.
Wilhelmina's eyes began to water in pain. She had never felt like this before. It almost felt like an airplane had driven across her belly. Back then when Bel Peol hit her belly with her weapon the pain was already too much for her, and now… A belly punch from the Shinigami no Te with his hand made of steal and with such powerful force, it could almost break diamonds, the hardest thing in the world. (I think….)
Kojiro looked on laughing loudly as Wilhelmina continued to whimper in pain. "So much for the so called legendary Banjou no Shite!" He said Wilhelmina's nickname with Draco Malfoy's tone. "Now kneeling in front of me and whimpering, wanting to hide in her granny's skirt! HAHAHAHA! Golly, you are SOOOOO pathetic!"
Kojiro suddenly grabbed Wilhelmina's hair and held her face towards his. "Banjou no Shite dies here! Goodbye!"
Wilhelmina's eyes became as round as coins as she heard what Kojiro said. "No!" She thought to herself, "I cannot die! Not here! Not like this!"
Kojiro's fists was about to make second contact with Wilhelmina's belly, until a bolt of electricity came out of nowhere and hit them.
"Ow!" Kojiro let out a yelp and let go of Wilhelmina, who fell on the floor and was struggling to keep her eyes open. "What the hell are you doing, Zeus?" He yelled.
The person came into Wilhelmina's blurry view. She could not picture out the second person, but knew it was his voice, as he sound completely different from Kojiro.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Zeus retorted.
"Oh," Kojiro said with a startle, then laughed apologetically, "I guess… I got carried away? Heheh… After all, I'm bored! How are we supposed to find a Mystes which we may never find?"
"You're just impatient." Zeus snapped. "When there's a will, there's a way."
"Yeah, right…" Kojiro retorted sarcastically.
"You know how useful it is to us,".
"True… true…"
"Let's go. Kuvestar wants to see us."
"Hm… maybe he found the Mystes himself! Then my work is done for today!"
"Yeah, you wish."
Wilhelmina heared the two Mystes leap into the air. She felt too weak to open her eyes and stay awake, let alone to lift herself up. She also felt the Fuzetsu was gone, and a few seconds later, someone kneeled on her side and shook her.
"What the? Are you okay? What happened? Hang in there, I'll send you to the hospit-" The person said, but Wilhelmina cut across him and said in an extremely weak tone, "Don't… Hospitals…" If she was admitted to the hospital, the doctors may ask for her identity and may even find out that she was not a human. She could not let that happen.
"B-but…" The person stammered, "You're hurt…"
"Please…" Wilhelmina mustered all her strength and said this one word. She could not hang in there anymore, her head was dizzy and her belly was undergoing excruciating pain. Upon finishing the word, Wilhelmina Carmel fainted.
Ryosuke: Yeah! Michiru, you wrote my name in your novel! I love you man!
Michiru: I'm not a gay, friend.
Ryosuke: Oh well, by the way, is Kojiro a bad guy?
Michiru: Hey, after what happened to Wilhelmina you're saying he's a good guy? Lol"
Ryosuke: And he's cahoots with me- I mean, that Ryosuke?
Michiru: Did you not read the story thoroughly?
Ryosuke: Which means, Ryosuke is a bad guy.
Michiru: So?
Ryosuke: SO?? I'M YOUR FRIEND AND YOU PUT ME AS A VILLAIN???!!!!????!! I WANNA BE A HERO!
Michiru: Calm down! Not everybody can become a hero, friend!
Ryosuke: Calm down? Calm my ass! I'm gonna kill you!
Michiru: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
