Chapter 4: Ryona Time!
Shana, with Wilhelmina on her back, arrived at Sakai Residence. She opened the house door and quickly ran up to the room, completely forgetting to close the door. Then, she put Wilhelmina gently on the bed and spoke, "Wilhelmina…"
"I'm fine," Wilhelmina replied, "You sound like I'm dying."
"What happened, Wilhelmina? Why were you hurt until like this?" Shana asked.
"There's this Mystes. He claims his name is Kojiro Takasu or the Tsunade no Tatsujin. He was the one who attacked me,"
"What? How dare him!"
"He did. And he's powerful. He's ability is to turn his hand into pure steel, causing high damage. Worse still, he seemed to have three more comrades. I'm worried that the four of them may be more of a trouble than the Bal Masque."
"They may not be pushovers; do you know the names of the other members?"
"Yeah, there's one whose name is Zeus and I think he possesses the power of the lightning element. Then there's the other two. They are Ryosuke and Kuvestar, but I'm not sure who they are or what their powers are."
"I see. So did this Kojiro say anything?"
"Something about coming here to find a Mystes, I guess. I don't have the full detail, but from what I can tell, they have really big business on this Mystes."
"Which means, we have to find this Mystes before them, right?"
"Precisely, but there's a word which Kojiro said sounded funny. 'How are we supposed to find a Mystes which can never be found?' There's something really, really strange about the word 'never be found'."
"'Never be found'…"
"I'm not sure what it means, but it may give us a clue in locating this Mystes,"
"They didn't say the name of the Mystes, didn't they?"
"The word I said just now is the only clue that they left us,"
"Could it be… they're playing false clues with us? They want us to give up in finding the Mystes they're trying to find."
"It could be, but we can't dismiss the possibilities that they're true, too."
As both Shana and Wilhelmina racked their brains thinking about clues as to whether they have encountered a "Mystes that may never be found", Shana suddenly asked, "Wilhelmina, Kojiro didn't hurt you that badly, didn't he?"
"No, he only gave me a belly punch,"
"Just one?"
Wilhelmina nodded.
"J-J-J-Just one hit and you're defeated?!?!?"
"GRRRHHH!" Wilhelmina clenched her teeth and clutched her fists in anger and Shana wished she had shut her mouth. Just then they heard the sliding of the door.
"I'm back!" Yuji's voice came from the front door.
"Yuji!" Shana said, then she went outside to greet Yuji home, when she saw an unpleasant scene.
"Oh, hi, Shana," Yuji said after making eye contact with Shana.
"Why is he here?" Shana asked grumpily. Yuji looked at Michiru uncertainly, then began, "Um, well, you see,you saw it yourself that he didn't have a home, so I brought him here,"
"Humph!"
"W-Well, he'll be gone by the time Mom gets back, anyway, and Mom's not going for that long! Then again, if he hadn't found Carmel-san…"
"HUMPH!!!!"
Both Michiru and Yuji looked on stupidly as Shana stormed back into the room which Wilhelmina was in. It was another five seconds when Yuji began, "Shall I… bring you to your room? There're three rooms here. One's for mom, which Carmel-san and Shana are sleeping currently. Then the one here's mine, so yours would be…"
"Huh?" Michiru suddenly said.
"What?"
"You don't sleep in the same room with Shana?"
"W-What??!!"
"Nah, just kidding, haha!"
"Not funny, okay? There's nothing going on between Shana and me!"
"Sure, sure. You have some issues. And by the way, thanks."
"No prob, you helped us find Camel-san."
"Y'know, Yuji, why don't I sleep in your room? Your bed's a double sized one, right? We can sleep together. I'm afraid of sleeping alone."
If Yuji was drinking water he would have choked, but now, even without water, he was gagged and couldn't find any words momentarily.
"U-Um, Yuji, are you… okay?"
"H-H-uh?"
"Man… you can't take a joke, can't you?"
"It's not funny, you know!"
"Yeah, sure, I'm sorry, guess I'd better keep my mouth shut, huh? In case you're having second thoughts about bringing me here,"
"Well… I know it's not much here, but… how do I put this? Make yourself at home?"
"Haha, sure. Thanks, Yuji."
Michiru then opened the door and disappeared into his room. Yuji wondered what to do next. He then decided on entering the room which Shana and Wilhelmina are in. When he opened the door, he saw Shana's angry face staring at him.
"U-U-Um, Sha-Shana…" Yuji began.
"Why did you bring him here?" Shana nearly screamed.
"I just told you; he saved Carmel-san. AND he didn't have a home."
"Humph!"
"Why do you despise him so much? He didn't do anything to you!"
"Humph!"
"Shana, please give me a reason,"
"I don't know."
Yuji did not know what to say at this.
"Err… you don't know?"
Wilhelmina suddenly opened her mouth, and that was the time when Yuji actually realized that Wilhelmina was in the room.
"Shana, I don't mind him being here. He did save me, actually. Or else you wouldn't have found me."
"What?" Shana nearly jumped in shock, "You too, Wilhelmina?"
Wilhelmina nodded as Yuji said with a grin on his face, "It's two to one, Shana."
"Fine! Whatever! I'm leaving! There's no way I'll be under the same roof with him!" Shana yelled.
"Wh-Whoa, wait, Shana! You're overreacting!" Yuji stammered.
"I'm not!"
"Oh, good, you're not leaving,"
"I mean I'm not overreacting, you idiot!"
"You clearly are, Shana…"
"HUMPH!" Shana gave a last yell before she stormed out of the house, leaving Yuji standing there foolishly. He wanted to say something and make Shana stay, but since Shana hates Michiru so much, Michiru would have to go, right after Yuji invited him. Furthermore, Yuji was filled with feelings of sympathize. Afterall, Michiru had neither home nor family.
"Carmel-san," Yuji suddenly began, "Why do you think that Shana hates Michiru this much?"
Wilhelmina did not answer the question and she almost seemed very rude for not answering a question. Then, Michiru became her savior once again and entered the room.
"Huh? Yuji, what happened? How come Shana-san was acting so moody when she went out of the house? Did you say something and made her angry?"
"Ummm… well, forget about her, she'll be fine outside, she can protect herself." Yuji answered sheepishly.
"What kind of boyfriend are you anyway?" Michiru thought to himself, knowing that he must not say this out.
A few hours havepassed since Shana threw her tantrum. She was still walking in the streets of Misaki City and she was still furious.
"Stupid Yuji! Stupid! Stupid! STUUUUPIIIIIDDD!!!!"
She screamed, not aware that her voice was heard by a figure behind her. If she did not have stupid thoughts to sort out in her mind, she would have noticed it for certain. The figure walked towards Shana, closer and closer, until Shana finally noticed a strange aura and spun around. Then her eyes fixed on the hooded figure who, although had his grey hood up, was staring at her.
"Who are you?" Shana asked loudly, preparing to brandish her sword.
"Nobody," The figure answered.
Shana felt angry instantly. The person thought it was very funny to joke, but she was already in an extremely bad mood. She then activated the Fuzetsu, ready to relish her anger on the person. Next, Shana brandished her sword, and her hair and eyes turned crimson red. She struck a pose, like every time she did when engaging combat. Yet, the person did not act, which caught her by surprise.
"Why?"
"I don't have to,"
"What?"
"Are you deaf? I said I don't have to."
"Why, you……!!!!"
"Your element. It is weak to mine. In that case, you cannot defeat me, no matter how hard you try,"
"So be it!"
Shana lunged her attack at the figure, but she felt something push her back as she struck, like an invisible force field.
"What the?"
"Like I said, don't try."
"Feh!"
Shana embedded her Nietono no Shana with fire, then fired it at the person, only for a gush of wind to put it out as if it were only a small flame.
"No way!"
"Don't you get it? My element is strong against yours. Water may be stronger than fire in Pokémon, but in Persona 3, wind beats fire."
The person said all these as if trying to advertise the games, or to console Shana to buy and play the games. Still, Yuji did not have a Play Station 2 or a computer to play the games. (Ryosuke: =.=)
Shana suddenly became maddened by the person's actions. By putting out a strong flame without moving at all, the person was virtually humiliating her.
"Why don't you show me that face of yours and tell me who you are?"
"Sure, falling for my charm?"
"My ass,"
"Y'know, girls shouldn't speak vulgar words. They downgrade their own standards."
"Like I care! Now show me who you are!"
Suddenly, strong wind began to blow. The hood of the person fell off due to the strong wind, revealing a person with long, orange, spiky, mid parting hair.
"Ryosuke Tachibana," He said proudly, "Rider of the Wind."
"Ryosuke…" Shana muttered to herself.
"The Mystes whom the Banjou no Shite just mentioned," Alastor replied.
"I see," Shana said, "You are looking for a Mystes."
"Yes. Would you help me find it?"
"I will find it, but not for you. Over my dead body,"
"Oh, you really are a little too boyish for a girl, all the vulgar words and stuff,"
"And why do you care?"
"Hmmm…. If you're boyish, it's pointless for Ryona Time."
"Ryona Time?"
"Hehehe. Glad you asked."
Ryosuke's eyes suddenly turned sinister and two weapons appeared on his both hands out of the blue. His left hand holds a short standard kitchen knife, which he took it and tossed it up and down. His right hand, on the other hand, was holding an extremely long and curved sword. He leaned it on his right chest. Then another gush of wind passed by, making his hair move, signaling confidence in a fight.
"Not good…" Shana muttered.
"Look out!" Alastor suddenly yelled.
"Wha…!!!"
A tornado suddenly appeared behind Shana. Before she could react, the tornado sucked her into it as if she was a pin, and it was a magnet. Then, when the tornado swallowed her, it began to spin her around, causing her dizziness and pain. Shana screamed and screamed but nobody was there to hear her. No Yuji to give her support. No Wilhelmina to fight alongside her. Shana was doomed. She could also hear Ryosuke laughing madly as she shouted louder and louder.
"STOP! STOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPP!!!!" Shana screamed and nearly tore her vocal chord.
"Huh? Increase the speed? No problemo!" Ryosuke countered with a chuckle.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Shana continued to scream and scream as the tornado got faster and faster and faster. Ryosuke's laughs also got louder as he spoke: "Hmmm... Not bad.... For a boyish girl.... You have a nice screaming sound.... I'll be sure to let you scream more!"
"NOOOOOO!!!!!!"
After what seemed like ten minutes of a free ride in the roller coaster, Shana fell to the floor with a "thud" and vomited due to the dizziness. She then tried to stand up, but fell to the ground again and closed her eyes, hoping that doing so would stop the dizziness. Unfortunately, the dizziness continued, and Shana became too weak to move even a muscle. Just then she heard footsteps coming towards her.
"That's what I call Ryona Time!" Ryosuke said and laughed.
"Ugghhh…" Shana whimpered, unable to stand the dizziness.
"What's the matter? Can't stand it? Good!"
Ryosuke began to chuckle madly. Then he continued, "I have a helluva good time and a helluva Ryona Time! Y'know, we should do this as soon as possible!"
Shana, on the verge of fainting, did not answer.
"Hmmm… the maid…" Ryosuke suddenly said.
Shana gasped. Obviously, Ryosuke was talking about Wilhelmina.
"The maid…" He repeated, "She has nice breasts and curves. AND she sounded and looked hot when Kojiro belly punched her. Hmm… Maybe she'll be next. NEXT IN LINE FOR A RYONA TIME! Hehe, kinda rhymes!"
"Wilhelmina…" Shana whimpered, worried about what Ryosuke would do to her. The new previously unknown Mystes were proving to be more of a problem than the Bal Masque, and seemingly more tougher than all the members of Bal Masque put together.
"Well, that is then, so long, sucka! Haha!" Ryosuke gave a last cackle before leaping into the air and deactivating the Fuzetsu, leaving Shana fainted on the floor.
