Happy mom day! You know, I think I'm going to keep writing in points of view. Zani is a bit different in his head then I had planned. Maybe I should show some of that sarcasm outside his head, too. Doyle will do the reviews.
Akili-chan- Listen, Ruthi is based after Nags's best friend. Insult Ruthi, and you insult Nags best friend, which is worse then insulting Nags herself.
Flamer Hater- Rock on!
allycat18- You know, for a while, Nags was going to call Akami, Akili. Make of that what you will.
cerrennos- Yeah, just as much as needed.
Hatenko123- What I said wasn't exactly the same rating.
The Saturdays took the news reasonably well, almost as well as I did when I saw Zak and Fisk watching Weird World. I wonder when the Saturdays will get a new TV after I broke that one. Anyways, they must have remembered that, because next thing I know, I had to stay behind with Drew to do research. AKA, I got grounded. Doyle tried to explain this to me in a way that didn't make me explode in a blind rage.
"You really like Ruthi, right?" I nodded, he knew all of this stuff. He even helped us along. "Your emotions would probably tell you not to hurt Ruthi, especially in this over emotional state."
I felt my eye twitch. "I AM NOT OVER EMOTIONAL!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. My face reddened when I realized how loud I was. I think my voice even cracked. "Good luck." I muttered, still upset about not being able to go.
After about two hours of research I only got two useful facts about kitsune. One, they enter your body through your chest or fingernails and two, their victims are always young maidens. Unfortunately nothing about how to get the kitsune out of the victim. I was about to ask Drew, but the male members of the Saturdays came in. The words slipped out of my mouth. "What happened to you guys?"
They were all worse for wear. Zak was holding his arm and part of his sleeve was burned off, Doyle had to pinch shut his bloody nose, Fisk's fur was singed a bit and Doc had a bunch of bruises and a black eye. "Akami, that's what happened." Doyle said, his voice higher due to the pinched nose.
"It was weird, she was so sweet and syrupy, but it was fake," Zak stated "I think she might have had a crush on me." Now the image of Ruthi kissing Zak will be burned into my head for the rest of my life. What a perfect addition to this wonderful day. You do understand my sarcasm, right?
"I still can't believe Ruthi, in any shape or form, could do that much damage." Doc added. "But I think I got the worst of her rage."
To me, it looked like, possessed or not, Doc was still Ruthi's least favorite Saturday. Wait, if Akami shares Ruthi's hatred of Doc, what else do they share? I grabbed a book and snuck out while they were talking. After a bit of thinking I also took a communicator. Operation get Akami out of Ruthi and get us both back before we get in trouble is ago! Man, I need better operation names.
After I got far enough away I sat down and started checking through the book. It took a few minutes for me to realize something was wrong. I checked the title, it said Mind Control, Fact or Fiction. That's just great. I decided to go into the town and see if the library had any books on kitsunes. Or at least, Japanese legends.
After I left the library, fruitless, I saw a red-head. A very familiar red-head. Akami was at a food stand, stuffing her face with tofu. She apparently ditched Ruthi's normal clothes for a pink tank top and miniskirt, with flip-flops. I know for a fact Ruthi hates tofu and wouldn't be caught dead in that ensemble. She saw me and ran.
I ran after Akami, hoping my plan would work. Eventually I caught up with her on top of the bridge. Perfect, all was going to my plan. Right then and there, I jinxed myself.
"So, little girl, we meet again." Akami said in a high pitched voice. I didn't correct her. Instead, I just said "He's her cousin."
Akami tilted her head. "What are you talking about?" I didn't make eye contact. "Zak, he's the cousin of Ruthi, you know, the girl your possessing? They're cousins. That means you two can't date."
Akami thought a bit, "You two are dating, aren't you? You and the black and white haired boy." I nodded, knowing Ruthi would kill me when this was over. "You know, I wondered something," I said, making my voice a tone lighter. "You have Ruthi's body, so do you have Ruthi's fears?"
"Do you know what Ruthi's afraid of?" I asked Akami before dipping my hand in the water the bridge was over. "She doesn't like water that much. Plus she can't swim with that arm. And now neither do you." I splashed her with the water, then pushed her head near it. Akami shrieked and pushed away.
"I, however, have no problems with water and can swim very well." I said, keeping my voice light enough to trick her. "I also have special powers." I had my hands glow for effect. Akami looked at me suspiciously. "What are you getting at?" she said with all the fake sweetness gone from her voice.
I smiled, feeling my plan take effect. "I suggest a trade. You get out of Ruthi's body and stay out, and get into mine." I spread my body out and waited. Slowly, I saw a ghostly form exit out of Ruthi's body. It looked at me and hurtled forward. When it got to me it just flew through. I ran over to Ruthi and covered her hands and chest. Akami couldn't get in her again. I stared at Akami, and yelled. "Oh, did I mention I'm a guy? Check and mate, Akami. I won!"
Akami shook herself vigorously and flew off. Feeling victorious, I got up and danced "I out smarted a kitsune. I'm awesome! I'm awesome!" Unfortunately I danced off the bridge and into the water. And, then the police came.
Ruthi got stuck with a shoplifting record in Japan, and I'm apparently her accomplice. So for recap, today I broke a TV, almost hurt a secret scientist, got my girlfriend possessed, had to sit back while the others fought her, ran away, outsmarted a kitsune, and got in jail. Just another day with the Saturdays.
Review or Akami returns!
