Once again I'm back with another chapter to Midoriichi. People are really liking this story so I'd hate to disappoint you all by not uploading at this most recent moment. Oh and I would like to add that this will be mostly a flashback chapter, so it can explain certain events that have taken place in the course of one year. So without further ado, enjoy and don't forget to leave a comment with your thoughts.
I do not own the Kim Possible chracters, they belong to Disney. I do however own the characters: Kuraiichi, Rida, Akai, and Hori.
Ch.3 Past Events Pt.1
Feudal Japan, 1551 A.D.
A whole year had passed since Kimiko and Ron had arrived to rid the lands of the Tori and the Neko. They saw that for the past year the Neko were slowly gaining in the war, and as the Neko killed off the Tori, Kimiko and Ron killed off the Neko. This past winter saw a lot of blood shed especially on the Neko's side. During the harsh blizzards, a beast appeared and it slaughtered the forces of the Neko, giving the Tori a slight lead in the war. Still while Kimiko had not seen Koni, Roni, or Buraun she had numerous encounters and battles with Midoriichi. Kimiko laid in the bed as listened to the birds chirp, and thought back on that day.
Feudal Japan, 1550 A.D. (Autumn)
The Autumn season had fallen upon them and the trees were losing their luster as the land prepared itself for a harsh winter. She and Ron were following a trail left by the Tori clan as they passed through village by village. It was rumored that Midoriichi was leading this group. While passing by they passed by a group of people that were left homeless from the war of the two feuding clans. Kimiko felt sympathy for them as her village had come under attack by the Neko years ago when she and Ron were children. She still remembered looking into the eyes of the cat that was responsible for killing her family. She was forced to snap back to reality when Ron called her over to him. He had found a set of footprints that led West into a forest.
They followed the tracks what seemed to be for miles. "These tracks seem to go on forever." Ron stated.
"Well how ever long they may take, we will find them." Kimiko said.
"Or you it may be us that finds you." A voice said from above.
Ron and Kimiko stopped and looked up to see Midoriichi along with twenty others from the Tori clan.
"Did you really think we wouldn't notice you following us?" she asked as she jumped down to the ground. "You know priestess, you've been following me around for quite a while now. It's more than obvious that you want something from me."
"You're right, I do. I want to end this senseless war between the two clans. Is there not a way to end this peacefully?" She asked the demon.
"Pfffft hardly. Then again why would I do that, I live for the thrill of battle. This war is far from over."
"Midoriichi you've been losing alot of your soldiers lately, while the Neko have gained more footing." Kimiko stated.
"Look we don't need your sympathy human." A soldier called out from the trees.
Midoriichi held her hand up to him. "Wait a minute I've just got a brilliant idea. Since you seemed to be so concerned, how about we make a friendly wager?" Midoriichi suggested.
"Like Kimiko would listen to anything you would have to say demon." Ron stepped in.
Kimiko stopped him. "I'm listening." She answered.
Midoriichi gave her a sly smirk. "Me and you fight right now. If you win I'll surrender myself to you, but if If win. If I win you will assist us in slaying the Neko. Then and only then will we truly settle any differences that may exist between us afterwards." she explained. "So what do you say? Do we have a deal?"
"Don't listen to her Kim." Ron told her. "You know as well as I you cannot trust the word of a demon."
"Don not worry, I have a plan." she said smiling offering Ron little reassurance. "I accept your challenge, Midoriichi."
"Excellent." she said jumping back a few feet. "Well shall we begin?" she asked.
"Yes." Kimiko said with a confident smirk.
Kimiko formed a sword using her spirit energy and dashed towards Midoriichi. Midoriichi dashed at her as well. They clashed several times and then jumped back. Midoriichi lunged forward with her left trying to claw the young woman, but Kimiko blocked it with the blade, she then quickly slashed at Midoriichi's mid-section but the demon evaded just as quickly as she attacked. Midoriichi performed several back flips as Kimiko chased after her. Kimiko quickly came to a stop as Midoriichi launched several feathers at her. She took the sword and reshaped it into a shield to block the attack. The feathers sliced through the trees causing some of them to topple. Kimiko immediately went on the attack. Forming another sword again she leapt into the air and brung the blade down. Midoriichi side stepped and tried to kick the priestess in her side, but Kimiko quickly ducked and went for a leg sweep, only for Midoriichi to jump over that as well. At that moment Kimiko swung the blade quickly at her, and Midoriichi caught it.
Kimiko struggled to gain the upper hand. Finding that she was losing she dispersed the sword surprising Midoriichi and immediately followed up with a right hook. Midoriichi hit the ground and slid back a bit. The soldiers watching gasped, they never seen a human ever get a clean shot in and one with enough force to knock back as well. Midoriichi got up from off the ground.
"I have to admit, that was the first time a human has ever punched me. Consider yourself lucky. That will the last time." Midoriichi told her.
Kimiko stopped to catch her breath. 'Her stamina is incredible. I can't believe she's not the least bit tired. Looks like I'm going to have to start using my purification techniques on her.' Kimiko said thinking to herself.
"Ready for round two?" Midoriichi asked.
Kimiko nodded her head signaling that she was ready. Midoriichi dashed forward quickly. Kimiko only had enough time put up a spirit shield as the demon crashed into her. She knocked Kimiko back and sent her crashing to the ground. She rolled a few feet, before coming to a stop. She got to her feet and saw Midoriichi smirking at her. Kimiko placed her hands together and a white light irradiated from them. The light intensified and she began to spread them apart.
"Ten wa Yumi (Heavens Bow)." she said. The bow she formed in her hands glowed brighter than the bow Midoriichi seen her use in their previous battles. The bow itself didn't look like a manifestation of spirit energy it looked like it was crafted by the angels themselves.
"This is the Heavens Bow. All I need is one clear shot, to purify and destroy you." Kimiko stated.
"I see, well I'll make sure you don't get that clear shot." she said. Midoriichi's expression changed when she saw Kimiko pulling back on the string.
As she did so, a huge amount of spiritual energy began to build up. The further she pulled back the more powerful the energy. Soon an arrow began to form. Midoriichi could feel the intense energy and found the light suffocating. She quickly dashed at her to stop her from completing the technique.
"Seisei-ho: Koshi! (Purification Technique: Light Arrow)" Kimiko released the arrow and it sped off towards Midoriichi with alarming speed.
Midoriichi barely dodged it as it nicked her right side. She hit the ground and grabbed at it. Hissing violently as the pure light ate away at her flesh. After a few seconds the pain subsided and Midoriichi rose to her feet.
'That arrow was fast. Too fast, I can't let her do that again or I'm finished.' She said thinking to herself.
"What's the matter. Where did all that confidence go?" Kimiko taunted.
Midoriichi dashed in again. Kimiko took aim, but Midoriichi increased her speed. Moving in a instant blur, she would rapidly appear either on the right or left sides of Kimiko. She began to fire arrows hoping to trip the demon, but Midoriichi just kept closing the gap. Kimiko knew that she was going to try and stop her from firing the arrow, knowing that she would need time to build up the energy. Just as she predicted Midoriichi suddenly appeared right before and reached out to grab the bow. Kimiko fired an arrow, but the demon vanished again.
"Behind you." Midoriichi said as she rapidly reappeared.
Kimiko spun around only for Midoriichi to grab the bow. "Heh. You can't fire anymore arrows without this bow of yours." she said with a cocky smile.
Kimiko tried to free her bow from Midoriichi's grasp but she was refusing to give up the bow. Kimiko then flashed Midoriichi a smile. she released the bow and grabbed back on the string again. The opposing forces of the two women caused the string to be pulled back a few inches. Midoriichi's eyes widened when she saw the spirit energy forming and she let go of the bow to jump back. However Kimiko was faster and released the arrow.
"Seisei-ho: Jinsokuna Koshi! (Purification Technique: Rapid Light Arrow)" The arrow shot forward and struck Midoriichi in her gut and carried her into a tree, before the energy erupted into an explosion.
"Yeah, you got her!" Ron yelled.
"Midoriichi!" The soldiers called out to her.
Kimiko stood there with an unsatisfied look on her face. "I know you're still alive Midoriichi."
She got up and dusted herself off. "You used your demonic energy to put up a barrier between you and my arrow. However it didn't do as good as a job as you had thought." Kimiko said.
Midoriichi was injured, her stomach was badly injured. "The arrow may not have directly hit me, but the energy centered around it was more than enough." Midoriichi said. "I've got to hand it to you priestess. Manifesting the energy in your attacks, even after you've launched them is quite astonishing." She said smiling. "This injury you inflicted upon me is nothing serious, I'll live."
Kimiko formed another arrow and fired a shot, Midoriichi jumped into the trees. Jumping from branch to branch as Kimiko continued to fire arrows. Midoriichi then landed behind her and dashed forward, as she tried to swipe at Kimiko. Kimiko quickly reformed the bow into a sword and clashed with the demon. Kimiko removed her right hand and formed another sword and swung it at Midoriichi, but she caught that as well. This played out in Kimiko's favor. She had a sword in each hand leaving her wide open to attack.
"I have you now." She told Midoriichi. Midoriichi eyes went wide, when she released what Kimiko had just done. They were surrounded by her arrows that she had shot. The arrows ended up forming a circle around them. Kimiko jumped back. "Seisei-ho: Yokusei. (Purification Technique: Restrain)"
Chains shot up and wrapped around Midoriichi's feet, arms and neck. "Damnit, she got me." She watched as Kimiko this time formed a spear ran towards Midoriichi with it. Midoriichi braced herself for what was to come. However when Kimiko made contact it was not the spear she felt, but instead a fist. She looked at Kimiko. "Why didn't you finish it?"
"Because you told me that I would never strike you with my fist again. I proved you wrong." Kimiko said with a smirk.
Midoriichi just stared at her stunned, before she started to smile. "I'll be damned. I never thought I would be pushed this far, and by a human no less. I the great Midoriichi Tori, the she devil Shego would be forced to transform." she stated.
"Transform." Kimiko repeated.
"Sit tight priestess, because this is gonna be a bumpy ride." She said as the whit in her eyes turned black. The markings on her face glowed as her body began to pulsate. Her whole body began to glow green as her demonic aura swirled up around her. The wind began to pick up as she built up energy, Kimiko could only watch as the demon was covered in a tornado of green swirling energy. She could hear the restraints breaking as she was slowly being pushed back by the wind. Kimiko looked on and saw what appeared to be a wing, a bird's wing. The feathers were black with green tinted tips. The wing swooped over Kimiko blowing her back as well as cutting her with the razor winds. The winds cut through more trees creating a pathway behind the priestess.
"KIM!" Ron called out to her as he tried to shield himself from the winds.
The wing pulled back into the tornado and the winds died down. The tornado dispersed and Midoriichi stood there before Kimiko in her normal form. She looked to see that Kimiko was on one knee and her outfit was cut up, revealing her cleavage which didn't go unnoticed by Midoriichi. She felt herself blush before regaining her composure.
"Well Kimiko what do you say we call this one a draw?" She said as she walked up to the priestess. "I look forward to the next time we meet again."
Midoriichi then took off into the trees followed by her soldiers as they continued West.
Flashback End
Ever since then she has decided to help Midoriichi with her fight against the Neko. "Still it isn't good enough. I need to end the fighting between both clans, but how. I clearly lack the power to take them both on. I suppose the answer shall come to me one day." She said.
She got up and prepared herself for today's events no telling what kind of trouble either clan was going to stir up today.
Thus another chapter has been closed. I will be uploading one more flashback chapter then we can get back on track with the story. Oh and tell me who do you think won the fight between Midoriichi and Kimiko.
