READ OR DIE: The Lightning Master Chapter 2
Okay, guys! Here's the second chapter! Things get real crazy here! Yomiko goes back to Tokyo, where Nenene is staying right now…
As the trio split up, again, things started to get eerie for Koichi. He felt as if though someone was behind him. While he ran toward the exit, he couldn't shake that feeling. He had to stay and fight the threat. He reached into the inside of his glove and pulled out a sheet of paper. He put into his palms and closed his hands. When he opened them back up, he had made a shuriken. He threw it behind him and heard clanging in the distance. Koichi was right! There was someone following him, and he probably had an idea of whom…
Someone returned fire by throwing a metal shuriken. It missed by at least a few centimeters from making a cut into his side (meaning it missed but only by a little). Koichi knew that kind of marksmanship could only be…"Koriyama, you bastard!!!" Koichi yelled. Then, a ninja clad in a trench coat of black and black under clothes that were skin-tight. The ninja wore a mask that covered his face, but wore a white wig that was as bushy as Koichi's. The ninja's mask was black, unlike Koichi's white mask and the mask was the shape of a dog's face.
"So, we meet again, rival." The ninja said. "Koriyama, why are you following me?" Koichi asked. Koriyama pulled out a knife from under his sleeve and jumped down to his feet. He stood firm while Koichi was still dashing backwards, making a ton of noise in the hall, trying to stop himself. Finally, Koichi came to a halt and Koriyama charged at almost the speed of sound towards Koichi, with the knife in his hands. "It's time; you fell down permanently, Koichi!" Koriyama yelled. Koichi avoided the strike and countered with a face-to-foot style kick to the face.
Koriyama fell on his back, struggling to get his balance back. Koichi attacked again, elbowing Koriyama and forcing him to the ground. Then, Koichi dashed back before Koriyama had the chance to throw his knife. Koriyama got back up to his feet. Unlike Koichi, he was tall and muscular and was about 20 or somewhere around that age. "So, Koriyama, what do you hope to get out of trying to kill us?" Koichi asked. Koriyama started to laugh at Koichi's dumb question. "Wait; don't tell me, you're after the book?" Koichi said. "Of course I am, stupid! Didn't you know? I work for the I-gin army, remember?" Koriyama said, still laughing.
Koichi dashed right at Koriyama again, readying a second attack. He snapped his fingers and suddenly, sparks flew out of his hands, then whole volts of electricity flew from his hands, all the way at Koriyama. Koriyama fell to the ground again, this time, sliding until he hit the wall. Blood splattered on the wall upon impact. Koriyama began to laugh again. "Is that all you've got, Koichi?" Koriyama started to say. "You're weak, Koichi! That mere bolt of yours couldn't keep my paralyzed forever!" Koichi charged at Koriyama, this time, his whole hand wrapped with electricity. "Die, fool; you've got no reason to chase after the book." Koichi said. Then, Koichi, about two inches away from making Koriyama's head explode, suddenly withdrew his attack.
Koriyama was absolutely bewildered and grateful at the same time. Koriyama tried to stand up, but the side effects of the electric shock, prevented him from standing. "The side effects are only temporary," Koichi said. "Have fun waiting to die here."
MEANWHILE, IN TOKYO…
"Make me some coffee!" said the brunette. She was about 23 years old, wore glasses and was dressed rather like a boy than a woman. She wore sweat pants and a simple green t-shirt. Her hair went down to her shoulders. This woman had a name…She was Nenene Sumiregawa. Nenene was one of those women who didn't like to be bothered. "Carry me!" She said as she clumsily walked down the stairs, half asleep. A tall, boyish looking girl rushed to catch Nenene as she almost fell down the stairs. "Thank you." Nenene said to the tall woman. The tall woman, had bushy brown hair, thin brown eyes, had a slim figure and often was seen wearing boyish clothes. She wore workers' jeans, and a striped, long sleeve shirt that was green and white.
The woman's name was Maggie. Anyway, enough about character descriptions for now, because it gets really annoying having to describe each and every character so that readers don't think inappropriate thoughts. Yes, perverts, I am talking to you! Anyway, Nenene's head rested on Maggie's shoulder. "Carry," Nenene said. Maggie blushes a little bit (as usual), as she hesitated to carry Nenene. "Do it or I'll be forced to kiss you!" said Nenene, making a kissy face. Maggie lifted Nenene.
Michelle, in the kitchen, was already making the coffee. She was all smiles (as usual), making the coffee, humming Beethoven's 6th symphony. Maggie carried Nenene to the coffee table and set her down. "Thank you." said Nenene, half asleep. Michelle brought the coffee to Nenene, and set it on the table. "Here you go, enjoy!" Michelle said happily. Anita came downstairs, also half asleep. She yawned very loudly. "Oh, Anita dear, good morning!" Michelle greeted Anita. Anita was silent, and just kept walking down the stairs. "Good morning…" Anita mumbled as she was STILL half-asleep.
"I just got a message from Yomiko," Nenene started to say, as she grabbed the coffee mug and took a sip of the coffee, and set it back down on the table. "She said she'd meet me at the airport today. She flew in from London." Nenene said excitedly. Michelle looked confused. "You mean that OTHER paper-master, right?" She said. Maggie gasped. "But, that would…" She said.
MEANWHILE…
"So, 'Agent Paper', you're going to visit some old friends?" A man said jokingly. Yomiko nodded. "Mr. Carpenter, you wouldn't happen to know where the airport around here is would you." Yomiko asked. Mr. Carpenter (AKA Joker) sighed. Mr. Carpenter walked on his crutches toward a screen, which was hoisted on a wall. The room was like a small meeting room for most businesses, where employees and their managers would hold meetings about sales, and all that boring stuff. Mr. Carpenter was tall and slim. He wore a black business suit, which was well pressed. He had slicked back blonde hair, and bold blue eyes, and a stern face, filled with determination.
"Well, if I pull up MapQuest, I could find you a way there, and you could maybe 'fly' to the airport." He said. Yomiko gasped and said "Oh, no Mr. Carpenter, I'm not going to be irresponsible with my powers! I couldn't possibly fly without people seeing me floating in the air. They would get freaked out!" There was a small laptop on the table. It had a wide, long cable sticking out of one of the ports on its side that hooked up with the screen, which had a port that matched the cable.
MEANWHILE…AT THE AIRPORT…
"I thought she was going to be here by now." Nenene complained. Michelle, Maggie and Anita stood closely behind her. The airport was huge. There were little shops everywhere you looked. Huge windows peered out onto the runways, where spectators could see planes take off and land. There were big waiting areas, where passengers waited for their next flights. "Wow. I've never seen ceilings so high!" Anita said excitedly. "Anita-dear, don't get too excited; remember this is a big day for Nenene." Michelle stated. "Oh, alright." Anita complained. Nenene wore one of her most casual outfits. Michelle wore her china girl outfit, consisting of a white dress, which a split on the side. "This is gonna be boring, I can tell. So what if they haven't seen each other for a full six months." Anita complained.
"HI, EVERYBODY!" came a loud voice from behind the group. When everyone turned around, it was Yomiko. Smiling and waving as usual. She wore the same out fit as usual (no fashion sense, possibly), but behind her, was Koichi, looking bored as ever. He wore a plaid shirt, and black jeans. His hair was not too short (his bangs covered one of his eyes, and it went down to his shoulders) at all. In fact, it might have been TOO LONG. His hair, black like obsidian, was straight and smooth. He had deep purple eyes, and a youthful face. Outside of missions, he was pretty normal. He wore black casual tennis shoes.
