Chapter 6
"Guh," Negi groaned, lying down, resting her head on Chisame's lap. After that impromptu explanation of what was happening to her, she was more or less forced to stop traveling until her ailment passed. "Why is this happening to me?"
Chisame couldn't say anything. It was hard for her to explain her biology (as she did flunk the class), and but when it came to Sex Ed, she couldn't really answer them, as it was too damn embarrassing for her. Where was the damn robot when you need her?
Said robot was actually very jittery while she was gathering food and firewood. She knew she should have gone over the biology of the female body when she was teaching Negi about the workings of the female body. So here she was, nearly overheating due to stress.
"Whoa, nee-chan," a voice said from behind her. "Ya gotta loosen up a bit or ya may end up over-heatin'."
Chachamaru turned around and nearly dropped everything that she was holding.
"You…!"
Back to Chisame and Negi…
"Why can't I ever seem to do anything right!?" cried the emotional and quite hormonal Negi while she turned on Chisame's lap. "First Fate, then I lose everyone and now this! What was all our training for!? Was it just to waste of time!?" She continued to rant as her tears fell on Chisame's already damp skirt.
The owner of said skirt was really starting to hate the gynoid (again) for leaving her here in this predicament. Why the hell was she suppose to comfort this girl!? She knew nothing of comforting others (more likely because she rarely cared for other people).
"Hey, uh, relax?" Chisame tried piteously. "I mean, seriously, you're blowing things outta proportion here."
"What do you mean out of proportion!?" Negi yelled, getting up and facing her. "If anything, I haven't done enough justice to it!" From there she continued her rant for a good ten minutes or so, clutching at the cosplayer's skirt every now and then when she felt as if she was in pain.
"What the hell…?" they both heard a familiar voice say from behind them. Before Chisame could even turn around, Kotaro Inugami appeared and kicked the female Negi off her and into the water. He was looking better than the lot of them, somehow having gotten a brand new set of clothes. He tore off his beige cloak to reveal a dark blue tunic that had iron joints on his shoulders and elbows. Black pants that had the same iron joints on his knees covered up iron toe boots that now had Negi's spittle over it.
And he was looking quite pissed.
"Tsukuyomi," he growled, walking onto the water. "You've gotta lot of nerve showing your ugly face here."
Negi looked up got back up, holding her bruised face and not really knowing what was going on here. She jumped back to dodge another claw strike that would've killed her had it landed.
"It's bad enough that I got separated with my friends after you idiots showed up at the gate," Kotaro continued, chasing after Negi. "But no, now ya gotta show up and make buddy-buddy with them! First you try to kill us now you wanna be friends? Get real bitch!" Disappearing and reappearing behind her, he slammed his fist into the base of her spine, nearly shattering the bone had it not been for a barrier.
"Wait, Kotaro-kun!" Negi said, staggering from the pain.
"Shut up! I'll kill you!" Kotaro roared.
"Kotaro, stop!" Chisame yelled, now wishing that the damn robot would show up and explain. "You've got it all wrong!"
"Can it nee-chan! I know what I'm doin'!" Kotaro said, charging his left fist with ki. "I'll break that love spell after I deal with her!"
Chisame blushed at that, feeling slightly disturbed and revolted. Now thoroughly pissed, she yelled, "You fucking idiot! That is Negi! And you, brat! Fight back!"
"What!?" both Negi and Kotaro yelled.
"How the hell is this bitch Negi!?" Kotaro yelled. "Negi's a guy!"
"How am I suppose to fight him?!" Negi yelled. "He's our friend!"
"Oi!' Kotaro yelled. "I ain't your friend bitch! Her's maybe, but definitely not yours! Get that through your damn skull before I crush it!"
Negi looked slightly hurt at that, narrowly avoiding another punch to her head. As Kotaro roared in frustration and threw punches at an even faster tempo, she finally realized that he was serious in killing her. With a sigh, she spun to avoid one of his left hooks and slammed both of her fists into his back.
"About time you got your fight on!" Kotaro yelled, grinning savagely as he got back up from the water. "But I'm far from done! Wolf Style; Howling Wolf Claws!" His fists glowed with a purplish light as the sound of howling rang in the air. With a grunt, his hands transformed into claws, and three blades came out from between his knuckles, all of it glowing with an ominous purple light.
"Now you're dead!" He rushed in, swinging with reckless abandon. Negi ducked and weaved, some actually coming close to becoming a fatal hit.
Unwilling to keep his anger in check any longer, Kotaro put made a hand sign and called out, "Shadow Split!" Seven more Kotaros appeared and they ran into position while the original kept fighting. When they were all there, the original Kotaro jumped back, and all eight of them rushed forward, cutting Negi with their claws in different parts of the body, drawing large amounts of blood. As she cried out in pain, the other seven Kotaro clones and the claws dispelled, the original apparently wiped out with that last move.
"NEGI-SENSEI!" Chisame yelled, just about ready to rush in there and get the girl out.
"How bad did you bang your head?" Kotaro asked, looking at her oddly as he made his way to her.
A flash of purple aura stopped him in his tracks. He turned around slowly to see the girl he had just sliced open standing upright, her head and shoulders slumped over. She slowly raised her head up, revealing the black corneas and white pupils that was evident to a practitioner of Shinmei-ryu swordsmanship (except Setsuna for some reason). She held out both hands, where two obsidian katana appeared, one shorter than the other. As if to finish the ensemble, she had a maniacal grin on her face, just like Tsukuyomi.
Focusing her eyes on Kotaro, her form flickered and reappeared right behind Kotaro, where she kicked him hard in the back. From there she jumped up and flipped back down, directing her heel into the dog hanyou's back again, this time driving him underwater. When he came back up for air, he went back down quickly to avoid being beheaded. From his underwater position, he grabbed her legs and used her legs to hoist himself up while at the same time bringing her down.
Kotaro jumped back a few feet to avoid any underwater surprises, breathing heavy. The battle was beginning to take its toll on him. Going for broke, he charged up his remaining chi into his arms calling upon his claws again. A glint in the water below him made him jump back, only have his left eye sliced by a black sword.
'That light was just a decoy!' Kotaro thought frantically as the girl he thought was Tsukuyomi stood before him.
"What's the matter, Kotaro-kun?" she said, her eyes still glowing and her face still in that warped grin. "What happened to that strength of yours? Weren't you going to defeat this bitch who was making buddy-buddy with your friends?"
"Can it!" Kotaro yelled, rushing forward. Negi did the same, raising her blades. They were about to clash until…
…until Chachamaru appeared, punching both of them in the back of the head, knocking them both out. Picking them both up gently (Negi more so than Kotaro), she walked to shore and gently placed them on the sand.
"Well that was pretty anti-climactic," Chisame muttered to herself. Turning to Chachamaru, she yelled at the top of her lungs, "WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU!?"
"Leading us here," a voice said from behind her. Chisame turned around to see a band of cloaked figures and a floating cart. The one in front removed his hood revealing a face that looked like Kotaro but a lot older. "The names Ryu; I'm Kotaro's older brother."
Look, I know my fight scenes aren't really the greatest, but give me some form of credit...and a review of how I could improve would be nice as well.
