Chapter 8
Kafuru's Firefight
Once again, the little blonde is walking by herself with her dolphin plushie in her arms. Half of the people walking by are staring at her, going "Awwwww! What a cute little girl!" to others, which irritates her since she knows she is a lot older than she looks, yet people are treating her that way. She may have taken that job at the casino, but other people still treat her like a kid. She sighs heavily as she clutches her dolphin plushie and walks a bit faster, hoping to avoid these people. However, the problem still remains unsolved by twin girls who just so happens to be walking together. Ryobi and Ryona. Why? Why does it have to be them of all people? She just wishes she could just go home right now….
"Hey, Kafuru-chan~!" Ryona squeals. "Kafuru-chan, over here~!"
Kafuru can feel a vein pop on her head. "I'm a bit busy here. Leave me alone!"
"Oh, don't worry!" the blonde says. "We're just wondering if you're okay~!"
The little blonde turns around. "Why wouldn't I be?"
Ryobi puts a hand on her hip. "A little girl like you could be abducted by some stranger."
Kafuru's eyebrow twitches. "I-I can take care of myself."
Ryona giggles. "Awwww, you're just too cute~!"
"Say that one more time and I'll shoot you down with my water guns!" Kafuru threatens.
Ryobi lets out a light laugh. "A little girl with water guns. How adorable."
Ryona nods in agreement. "That's even way cuter! Oh, Kafuru-chan! I hear Minori-chan is in desperate need of a play mate! Maybe you can play with her for a while!"
Finally, it gets on the little blonde's nerves. "That's…..it! I've had it with you two! I challenge you two to a battle!"
"Huh?" Ryobi raises and eyebrow as she exchanges looks with her older twin. "Do you really….want to challenge us?"
"You might want to be careful," Ryona says. "We're pretty tough."
Kafuru stomps her foot. "I can be tough too, you know! And I'll prove it by combat!"
"Suit yourself…" the younger twin sighs.
The three girls walk towards an empty area, which is behind a large building where no one can see them. They are already in their shinobi transformation outfits. Ryona twirls her quad handguns.
"Get ready, cute little girl~!" she says.
Kafuru pulls out her small dolphin water guns. "I'm not a kid, idiot!"
Ryobi flips her hair. "I'm no longer amused. Now let's battle!"
Kafuru is first to attack. She shoots large water balls that are glowing at the twins, but they quickly separate to dodge them. Ryobi slide tackles the little blonde and shoots her in the chest, sending her flying in the air and landing flat on her back. Shs recovers quickly, only to get slide tackled once again, this time by Ryona and fall on her back. She recovers, delivers a few kicks and hits Ryona with her water guns. She then gets back at her with her own slide tackling and shoots Ryona in the chest with her water energy balls. Ryobi goes after Kafuru and tries to hit the little blonde with her rifle, only to miss and get hit by the water guns, plus a kick to the gut and side. But those hits aren't enough to faze her, so Ryobi hits Kafuru with her rifle a couple times and then shoots her with one powerful shot for good measure, sending the little blonde tumbling to the ground. She rolls back on her feet, but gets slide tackled again by Ryona and falls on her back as well. She jumps to her feet and tries to shoot both of them with her water guns, but the twins dodge them all and shoulder tackle the little blonde together, sending Kafuru tumbling to the ground again.
Ryobi sighs happily as she empties her rifle, scattering some bullets on the ground. "This is just too easy."
Ryona twirls around like a ballerina. "I'm having so much fun~!"
Kafuru shakes her head roughly from the pain as she spins her small water guns. "It's not over yet…" she mutters.
The three girls get into their battle positions, waiting for someone to make their first move. Kafuru makes her first move by slide tackling Ryobi, making her scream as she flies over the little blonde and falls on her back. Ryona runs toward her, delivers a few kicks and shots from her quad hand guns, but Kafuru blocks them all and hits her with her own guns, kicks her in the gut, side and face and then shoots her. Ryona struggles to stay on her feet when Kafuru slide tackles her. The masochistic blonde recovers, only to get hit once again by the water guns, a few kicks and another shot. Kafuru knocks Ryona off her feet, but she doesn't count on Ryobi sneaking behind her and hitting her with her rifle. Kafuru tries to block them all. Ryobi's attacks are too strong and gets pushed back further with each hit. Once Kafuru is about 10 feet away, Ryobi throws one of her mines just as Kafuru is about to shoot her and it explodes in front of the little blonde, causing her to get off balance. Ryobi takes aim and fires a powerful shot at Kafuru, hitting her in the chest. Kafuru stumbles back a little, but shakes off the pain and retaliates by slide tackling Ryobi and shooting her in the chest in the process, sending the younger twin flying. The twins come together to attack the little blonde, but Kafuru blows her small whistle while snapping her fingers and her large dolphin appears out of nowhere. She takes a nice ride while the dolphin charges at the twins. It hits them successfully and goes back and forth about 4 times before Kafuru jumps off and the dolphin disappears. She charges at them and shoots both of them, sending them flying to the ground.
Kafuru spins her water guns rapidly while closing her eyes. "Never underestimate me."
Ryobi growls as she reloads her gun with Ryona panting while recovering. None of them move after getting into their battle positions. Ryobi glares at the little blonde when she finally makes her move by slide tackling her, hitting her with her rifle after Kafuru recovers and then shooting her for good measure. Ryona slide tackles Kafuru next, but misses at shooting her since Kafuru is quick to dodge them and kicks her a few times, plus a few hits with her guns and then a couple shots, sending her tumbling to the ground. Ryobi charges at her, hitting Kafuru with her rifle a couple times, but misses when she takes a big swing from the handle and the little blonde ducks just in time and delivers an uppercut, sending the younger twin flying and falling on her back. Kafuru shoots water balls at the brunette as soon as she recovers, only to miss and get hit by the younger twin's rifle instead. Kafuru ducks to dodge the next swing, sneaks one of Ryobi's mines away and jumps about 10 feet away. She throws the mine at Ryobi and it explodes in front of her. However, this doesn't affect her at all, much to the little blonde's surprise and doesn't have time to react when Ryobi shoots her with her rifle again. Kafuru stumbles back a little and when she recovers, she blows her whistle and summons her large dolphin. It jumps in the air and uses its tail as a weapon, hitting both of the twins hard and shredding their clothes in the process. Kafuru jumps on the dolphin's back and points her finger, signaling it to charge at them. With a burst of speed, the dolphin hits them hard back and forth until the little blonde jumps off and the dolphin disappears. Ryobi and Ryona are wearing nothing but bikinis and were lying on the ground, exhausted and defeated. Kafuru steps toward them, spins her water guns rapidly and points one of them at the twins.
"Bullseye," she simply says.
Ryobi grits her teeth as she tries to get back on her feet. "B-but…how…I mean, how can we lose to you!?"
"I told you to never underestimate me," Kafuru says as she puts a hand on her hip. "And thus, I proved to be just as strong as you two are."
Ryona gets up and her eyes sparkle in amazement. "Oh, wow! You've defeated us! Please…how can I repay you…master~?"
Kafuru backs away in shock. "Wh-what did you just call me!?"
Ryobi is surprised as well. "Hey! What the hell, Ryona!?"
Ryona jumps in and takes her hands in hers. "Please, Kafuru-chan! You're my new master now! Please, let me-OW!"
Ryobi hits her on the head with her fist. "Just shut your dirty mouth, mutt."
"Aaaahhhhh~! More! Hit me harder, Ryobi-chan~!"
Kafuru shakes her head roughly as she shakes off Ryona's hands and turns away. "Ew! Ewwwww! You're disgusting! I hate you! Stay away from me, weirdo!"
"Oh, wow! The way you just yelled at me….it's music to my-"
"Ahhhhh! I don't wanna hear it! I don't wanna hear it!" Kafuru shouts as she shuts her eyes tightly and covers her ears. "I'm leaving now! Get away from me, wierdo! You stupid, idiotic wierdo!" She makes a run for it, still covering her ears.
"Ahhhh~! Those mean words were just so satisfying to hear!" Ryona swoons. "I like Kafuru-chan already!"
Ryobi puts both hands on her hips and glares at her. "You do realize…that you already have a master right?"
Ryona nods and hugs her sister, much to the younger twin's surprise. "Of course! It's you, Ryobi-chan~!"
"Then why did you say-"
"Heh, I guess I got kinda got carried away. Ryobi-chan, you will ALWAYS remain my one and only master~!"
Ryobi blushes, but turns away to hide it. "U-ummm….you idiot…you should've known that by now, or did you forget?"
Ryona just laughs and hugs her sister a bit tighter. This day may have been awkward, but after that intense battle, the twins can go back to being all lovey-dovey again.
