*Plays dramatic music* dan dan daaaaaan.. here's a very dramatic part. (WARNING, THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS QUITE ALOT OF USE OF VULGAR WORDS. IF YOU THINK YOU ARE TOO YOUNG, STOP READING THIS. NOW.)
Disclaimer: This story is purely fanfictional. I decided to add a spice of romance to the storyline and created a new character, Muhyo's childhood friend, Hanabi Yuri. Please review and comments. If you do not like it, go easy on the comments and just stop reading this altogether. I have been keeping this in my pc for over three years and finally had the guts to publish it. Enjoy!~ ^.^V
"Oh no, my tempering is down and that thing looks bad," I heard Yoichi say as I wiped off the blood Muhyo coughed out. Enchyu had just summoned a fused ghost to attack us, but luckily Muhyo took care of that. And now, a masked man who's wearing a mask with four eyes appeared beside Enchyu. This isn't good.
But now, he seems to be hurt badly due to the poisoning of the Temper-Root water. To make matters worse, Yuu-Chan had blacked out when she saw Enchyu. I already placed her safely behind us, just in case Enchyu plans to attack. Muhyo… he seems distracted.
"Yuu—c" Muhyo started, but coughed out more blood, "Yuu-Chan. W—where is she?"
"She'll be okay, see?" I let Muhyo see Yuu-Chan lay peacefully on the grass, hopefully away from any danger. Muhyo reached out his hand to her, "Yuu-Chan… Yuri…"
Rio was suddenly in pain as more of the vein-like pulse appeared from her face to her neck. I heard the masked man said, "She's ghosting. Fix it now, or we lose her."
Rio? Ghosting? No way!
"I think we should leave," Enchyu said, "I do not plan to lose her just yet."
"And leave them alive? Not a chance!" the masked man seemed to disagree with Enchyu's suggestion and started tackling towards us, but Enchyu stopped him, "Sure, we can kill him now. But I don't want him to just die."
"Very well," he gave up, picking Rio up. Enchyu and the masked man were floating away, "I was pleased with the course of events. Even if it was ultimately a failure and hurt poor Biko. But it was still a good plan!
Carrying Muhyo in my arms I ran towards them, knowing that I won't be able to chase after them. Enchyu pointed to me; "Ah, you. You interfered in my business with Muhyo. I'll return you the favor. My Forbidden Magic friends will come for you. They'll do anything for my plans. They'll take all your friends, the ones you hold dear to. They'll take your happiness away."
"I won't let that happen!" I shouted, feeling angry. Why is he doing this? What was his motive?
"Oh, and Muhyo," Enchyu was gazing at him, "I'll make you die a slow painful death. So slow, you'll feel every inch of pain I'm giving you. You want to know how I'll do it?"
Muhyo's eyes widened as Enchyu pointed to Yuu-Chan who was lying in the grass behind us, "Her! I'll take her away from you. I'll kill her if I have to! Seeing you suffer really beats my suffering."
I gritted my teeth. Take Yuu-Chan? Is he insane? Yuu-Chan cared for him so dearly and this is what he plans to do with her? I opened my mouth to revolt, but someone cut me off.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP ENCHYU! YOU DARE KILL ME, I'LL COME AND KILL YOU IN YOUR SLEEP! I HOLD MY WORD FOR THAT, I SWEAR! GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME AND DON'T YOU DARE SHOW YOUR FACE IN FRONT OF ME EVER!" Yuu-Chan was forcing herself up, chasing me from behind. Her voice was hard and cold. I heard Muhyo telling her to stop running, but it was obvious that she wasn't listening, probably didn't even hear him. Ignoring him, I looked at Enchyu, feeling rather motivated after Yuu-Chan shouted at him.
"You just try," I said, feeling tears flow down my cheeks, "You just try take our friends away. We'll fight you! We'll fight you all the way!"
"Teach!" Biko was already in tears, so was Yuu-Chan as they stared off to the disappearing trio, "RIO!" Yuu-Chan was smiling, "PLEASE WAIT! WE'LL COME FOR YOU, I PROMISE. WE WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES! JUST WAIT FOR US, PLEASE!"
As they vanished to thin air, Biko was on her knees, praying, "Teach… please be okay."
"Don't worry, Biko. Knowing her, she's strong. She will be okay," Yuu-Chan put her hand on Biko's shoulder, "I pro—mise… uhh…"
"Yuu-Chan!" Yoichi rushed towards her when she fell facedown on the ground, "Oh no! She's not breathing!"
There was a hell lot of commotion as we tried to keep Yuu-Chan breathing for the whole trip back to the MLA. I hope she survives, because if she didn't, I don't know how grieved Muhyo would feel over her death.
Be strong Yuri, Muhyo will be waiting for you when you wake up.
