BANANA! So I was sitting in maths today and my teacher knows I've been away a lot but she expects me to catch up (something like 3 exercises.) before next lesson. I swear, I just want to smack her. Hard. Across the face. With a chair. Instead I ended up drawing stupid little comic things with a banana and potato. I've named them Sir Banana and Mister Potato. My imagination is strange…
Rena yanked on the chains that bound her to her prison deep in the ruins. The demon, Ryuuji, was sitting on a stone that had broken off of something, smoking like he had been when Rena first saw him. She wondered why he had captured her and imprisoned her in the ruins of all places, but figured that if she asked she wouldn't get an answer anyway. Instead, she was sitting on the cold stone floor with chains around her ankles with no way of escaping. Even so, it didn't stop her from trying to break free from her bonds. "It's no use." Ryuuji murmured, watching her struggles. "Even so, I'll still try." Rena hissed back. "Feisty one aren't you." He said, breathing in more smoke and blowing it back out. Rena ignored him, continuing her small attempt to break herself free, but to no avail.
Sakura felt uneasy as she walked through her gardens with Chii and Tomoyo, remembering the face of the demon that she'd met back in the mortal realm. An image of Rena and appeared in her mind along with an image of the ruins. She stopped and ran back to the castle, leaving the two girls completely confused. "Sakura-what's wrong!?" Chii called out. Sakura didn't answer, but kept on running. They followed, figuring that it must be something important if she didn't answer and was running as fast as she could.
Syaoran looked up as Sakura burst through the door of the study, breathing heavily from running. "What's wrong?" he asked her. "It's Rena-I think she might be in danger; I saw an image of her at the ruins, and the demon that we encountered in the mortal realm." Sakura explained quickly. Syaoran thought for a moment, knowing that Sakura rushing to Rena's aid was exactly what Ryuuji wanted. But he also knew that Ryuuji would be expecting some sort of attack and nothing was a surprised to him. He continued to run things through his mind, thinking of some sort of plan in mere seconds to combat that of Ryuuji's. "Let's go." Syaoran announced, grabbing Sakura's hand and leaving the room to find the others.
Fai and Yuui seemed to always be in the lounge room at times like these, so Syaoran and Sakura found them easily. Chii and Tomoyo found them instead of them finding Chii and Tomoyo, so everything seemed to be in order. "So, when are we going?" Chii asked. Syaoran looked at her blankly, "I think it would be better if you stayed here with Sakura." Syaoran told her. Sakura looked at Syaoran, shocked. "Why can't I come with you?" She demanded. Syaoran sighed. "Because that's what he wants, and I can't allow you to get hurt. I'll get Tomoyo and Yuui to help Rena while I deal with the twit, so you don't have to worry." He explained. Sakura didn't want to stay back, but she knew that Syaoran would just make her anyway-bribery or something like that. "Fine. But if you get hurt I'll never forgive you!" She cried. He smirked and gave Sakura a quick hug before leaving the two girls behind and disappeared in a thick cloud of black smoke. "Are you alright with this?" Chii asked Sakura quietly. "As long as the princess is safe, then that's all I wish for her." Sakura answered. "For whom; the princess?" Chii questioned. "No, but for the deceased princess; since ultimately I am her, I know that she would not want her younger sister to be in any danger."
"You say that as if you aren't the deceased princess."
"That's because I'm not; right here, right now, is who I am. I can't linger on who I may have been or used to be in the past, and as the current events that are happening right now are stopping me from moving on with my new life, then I must end all events that still tie me to the mortal realm."
"But what about the princess that you say is captured? How will you cut ties with her?"
"That's what I wondered, but the first time I met her as a goddess she didn't recognise me."
"But surely she knows that if her sister died before the age of seventeen then she'd be the new goddess of light?"
"I also did a little bit of digging into that; as it turns out it was the day of their birthday, but as the princess was murdered before the time of her birth, the pact was still valid."
"Why is everything so complex!? My brain can't handle it!" Chii complained. "Hey Chii…?" Sakura said mischievously. "What?" Chii answered back in the same tone. "I'm tempted to fill boxes and stick them in the doorway so that when Syaoran gets back they all fall on him." Sakura smiled evilly. "Let's do it." Chii dared.
Ryuuji stood up and faced his opponents with a smile. "Welcome Syaoran and friends." He said. He seemed amused for some strange reason. "Where's the girl?" Syaoran demanded. "Right here." Ryuuji stepped to the side, revealing and unconscious Rena in chains. Tomoyo and Yuui took immediate action, rushing forward to Rena's side to help her. Ryuuji didn't stop them in any sort of way, but payed more attention to Syaoran and Fai with much interest. "I see that Miss Sakura isn't here with you." He said. "Yeah, she had other things to do." Syaoran lied with a smile. Ryuuji lunged forward, engaging in battle with Syaoran. Fai took the chance to disappear from the fight while Syaoran fought with Ryuuji.
Syaoran blocked Ryuuji's attack with his forearm, both of them equal in power at that current moment. Several more blows were aimed at Syaoran's chest, but were easily blocked. Syaoran counter attacked with a round house kick to the ribs, hitting the demon right on target. Ryuuji flew back a couple hundred metres, landing on his feet once he gained control over his movements again. "You deserve to die for what you've done to Sakura, you lowly demon." Syaoran snarled. Ryuuji laughed. "You mean for experimenting on her? Oh come now, you also wanted to know if a god could become a demon if they were injected with demon blood."
"Not if it meant losing a fellow god or goddess." Syaoran spat.
"But that girl was the former princess; I don't see the difference."
Rena shot her eyes over to the God and Demon, unable to believe what she'd just heard. She watched, wide eyed as they sparred against each other with no weapons used.
Syaoran smiled. "That's where you're wrong; Sakura is no longer of this world, she's a goddess, and a hot one at that."
Ryuuji raised his eyebrows as he attacked Syaoran, interested in what Syaoran was saying. "Oh really? How nice, you've fallen in love with the girl we chose to experiment on."
"You're wrong there again; I never intended to experiment on her, just find out your intentions for the girl so that I could help her if she were to die before the age of seventeen-and it looks like I just got a little more involved than I thought." He smirked.
"Oh I see; a little mission from your brother."
"Yeah, he's a pest isn't he?" Syaoran said, sending a powerful punch into his jaw. Syaoran felt a little more satisfied knowing that he'd broken his enemies jaw, hearing it crack. "Indeed." Ryuuji replied, wiping blood away. A sly smile worked its way across Syaoran's face. "You know, I always wondered what would happen if a demon drank a gods blood; would they die, or become a mere mortal?" Syaoran's eyes glistened with amusement and wonder. "Dunno, never tried it." Ryuuji said, attacking Syaoran head on once again. "Oh please, not this attack again." Syaoran swiftly used his leg muscles to jump up high and step on his face, forcing the demon back into the ground and rubble.
Rena heard everything, and found herself completely shocked. She couldn't move or speak, only watch what was unfolding in front of her eyes. She could feel the cold chains sliding away from her skin, setting her free. "Miss, are you alright?" Tomoyo asked with concern. "My…my sister…" she whispered. "Come on, let's get you out of here." Tomoyo went to help her up, but Rena refused her help and stayed on the ground. "Yuui, what should we do?"
"Let's just obey her wishes, but if anything threatens her life then we should block that threat." Yuui answered.
Syaoran hovered in the air for a moment, waiting for his opponent to get back onto his feet. "I know you're stronger than this Ryuuji; stop screwing around!" Syaoran yelled. Ryuuji laughed. "Fine then; but in return you should use your full potential as well." He answered getting back onto his feet. "Sounds good to me, demon." Syaoran muttered, pulling out two swords that formed from the darkness. Ryuuji similarly pulled out a double ended sword using his own demonic energy, creating tension in the air.
They flew at each other, swords clashing. Syaoran's swords deflected his enemy's attack easily, and using his feet Syaoran swiftly delivered a quick kick to his opponents side as a distraction before slashing his chest. "You let your guard down."
