Chapter 24:

"Summer Vacation: The Day Has Finally Come"

Unknown Area-

Yamamura raised his hands as a shield that will shock anyone who touches it with electricity. The only ones who were in the shield were Yamamura, Kyoko, and Sakura. "Kyoko, I'm sorry but I want to do this on my own." Sakura told Kyoko as Kyoko left the area to where Tohru is at forcefully by Yamamura and Sakura by their spiritual energy.

Sakura transformed into her Shinigami Cat self wearing a red dress with a black bow, black boots, and a black bracelet. "Yamamura you're going to finally die today!" Sakura yelled out in anger to him. A large and heavy looking sword appeared out of nowhere as Sakura grabbed it next to her. Her orange eyes were now golden as her hair was now long and orange. Wings of white popped out of her back.

Yamamura took off his black revealing his red eyes, black hair tied in a pony tail, black wings revealed at his black, and wearing nothing more than plain black for clothing. "You really think that you will be able to stop me, Sakura Tsuki?" he asked her when he suddenly vanished out of sight. Sakura looked around for him; "think again" was whispered in her ear with a cold tone of voice.

Sakura turned around to find Yamamura grabbing her by the arm and throwing her up to sky. As she reached the top, Sakura turned her body around only for Yamamura to kiss her lips softly. "What the hell?! Damn you Yamamura!" Sakura thought in her mind. Sakura backed up from the kiss until Yamamura threw her down to the ground as he ripped off her wings.

Tohru stared as Sakura was falling down onto the earth. "Sa-chan!" Tohru screamed out loud for her dear friend to hear. Sakura whose eyes were shut closed opened them once again. (Author's Note: Holy *beep* Squishy stop hurting Sakura-chan! DX) Sakura faced the shield and landed on its surface.

Her hair flowed upwards as she landed on the shield. Sakura tilted her head up. Within a blink of an eye, Sakura sprinted towards Yamamura. Yamamura smirked, an evil way, as Sakura jumped off and ripped his wings off. She kicked him down onto the earth. "Yamamura I remember everything of my past. There is nothing that you can do about it," she said as she jumped down, "because I'm free from your grasp!"

Sakura slashed her sword at him only for her attack to be shield by his own sword. "Tohru, there must be some way to stop this fighting." Arisa told her friend with something on her mind. "But what can we do?" Yuki asked as if hope was gone. Kyoko who as next to her daughter, said straightforward, "there is NOTHING that we can do."

Tohru, Arisa, Hanajima, Yuki, Kyo, and Shigure stared at Kyoko. "Mom? You're…You're alive. I can't see right through you anymore." Tohru told her mother in amazement. Her mother who died a few years ago and came back from the dead living inside of the shinigami Sakura Tsuki has come back to live.

"Sa-chan…Please be careful" Tohru said to herself as she watched the shinigamis fight. "You say that you remember everything? Is that so?" Yamamura asked Sakura after he threw his sword at her. She dodged his sword and threw her sword at him directly. The sword went right through him with her reply, "Yes I have."

Yamamura laughed in amusement at her reply. "Do you remember who I am? Who you are? Do you even remember what I said to you on your grave or even your feelings or anything at all?" he asked her as he stepped closely towards her. Sakura's eyes were searching for his eyes. "I remember that your name is Yamamura Matsura," Sakura replied to his questions, "I know that my name was once Sakura Saraza with a brother named Li Saraza. My mother and father were both killed in a fiery accident. But now I am Sakura Tsuki the Cat Shinigami who only has two wishes. One is to be living my own life again and my second wish is…TO BECOME A LIVING BREATHING MOVING HUMAN AGAIN WITH KYOKO HONDA AMD BECOME A FAMILY WITH KYOKO AND TOHRU HONDA!"

Their eyes grew large at Sakura's statement. Kyoko just smiled and had a soft looking in her eyes. "So she finally made her decision…Don't let me down Sa-chan." Kyoko thought to herself. (Author's Note: refer in the decision chapter please T.T) The audience was staring as the two battled. Yamamura was upper cut under his chin by Sakura, sending him flying to the sky. Sakura bent down just a little bit and jumped up high into the air.

As Sakura arrived to where Yamamura was at, Yamamura smiled and vanished. He then reappeared above Sakura. With one blow in the face, Sakura fell down to the earth making a humongous hole in the earth. Sakura laid on the floor not able to move so much. Yamamura returned to the ground with a lot of blood gone, cuts, and bruises all over him. He smiled at her and grabbed his sword.

"You see what happens when you defy me? You "friends" can cause a lot of trouble for you." Yamamura told Sakura as he bent down. His eyes were cold staring at Sakura's golden eyes. Sakura replied, "Who in the hell said that I defied anyone? My friends don't cause any trouble for me none so ever. They helped me not be like YOU." This surprised everyone outside of the shield.

"Sa-chan" everyone said as they were clutching onto hope that she doesn't die by the hands of Yamamura Yokai. "Friends you say…Those mortals are not your friends. Neither is that Kyoko Honda. It was a mistake for you to die so young. It was all because of that "friend" of your past life, Mitsuki Kinomaru betraying you." Yamamura laughed saying this for everyone to hear. Sakura's eyes opened wide, watching her past life friend laughing at her.

(Author's Note: Squishy is a psycho O.O""") Sakura gritted her teeth together. Yamamura stopped laughing and stabbed Sakura in the shoulder with his sword. "Sa-chan!" Tohru cried out as she watched her friend lay on the floor injured. Yamamura turned his head to Tohru's, Kyoko's, Arisa's, and Hanajima's direction. He vanished out of sight once more. Everyone backed away from the shield, searching for Yamamura.

Tohru, Kyoko, Arisa, and Hanajima stopped moving around. "Huh?!" the four girls shouted out. Yamamura reappeared right in front of them holding onto something glowing. He tugged it more opening the shield enough for the four girls to enter. The girls were forced into the shield. "No!" the boys shouted out as they tried their best to reach for the girls. It was too late, the shield had closed completely.

The boys had either gritted their teeth together or stared with anger at Yamamura. Not far away from Sakura's laying body, Yamamura stopped walking and stopped tugging on the glowing object. The glowing object was connected to their bodies which must be connected to their souls. "If you are her "friends", then you must have caused a lot of trouble for my dear Sakura to be the way that she is." Yamamura told them as they feared him.

Just him standing there in front of them was making Tohru, Kyoko, Arisa, and Hanajima to feel fear. Yamamura let go of the glowing strings to their souls. Yamamura punched Kyoko in the stomach and as Kyoko gasped for air, she said, "Run away". Tohru, Arisa, and Hanajima ran away from Yamamura as fast as they could.

"Hmph… Foolish humans running away from me," Yamamura laughed, " The first one to die will be you…Tohru Honda…the angel reincarnation of Sakura Saraza and the original person that Sakura was supposed to take your soul away from. She didn't even do her job whatsoever." Tohru ran away from him quickly towards Sakura's body. "Sa-chan! Sa-chan! Sa-chan!" Tohru cried out to her friend. "Oh No! He's going to kill me! Please Sa-chan! Wake up!" Tohru thought in her mind while still running towards Sakura.

Tohru paused as she saw Yamamura in front of her. "Goodnight Princess. It's your turn to die like originally planned." Yamamura said to her. Tohru's eyes grew wide and yelled out her dear friends for help. "NOOO!!!" Kyoko, Arisa, and Hanajima yelled out as they watched their friend/ daughter about to die in front of them by Yamamura. Tohru shut her eyes completely waiting for her death to come. "SPLAT" was the only noise that was heard.

Tohru opened her eyes a bit staring at Yamamura with his mouth open. As she looked down to where something shiny was at, she saw a blade of a sword sticking out of his stomach. Yamamura gasped slowly when he turned his head around to find who implanted the sword in him. There standing behind Yamamura was none other than Sakura. Sakura was breathing heavily while glaring at Yamamura with her golden eyes.

"All those who try to hurt my friends are going to regret that they ever did. Especially you…YAMAMURA YOKAI!!!" Sakura announced loud enough for him to hear. She turned her sword around and kicked him in the back as Tohru moved out the way. Yamamura flew half way towards the other side and landed on his feet. "Still alive are we, Sakura?" he asked her as she rose up from the ground.

Sakura transformed back to her normal self. Her eyes no longer golden but orange and her hair shortened and brown once more only wearing her shinigami clothing. "Thought so" Yamamura answered for her. He walked towards Sakura and Tohru. Tohru stood next to Sakura as she regained her energy. Yamamura grabbed Sakura by the throat and they both flew high up towards the air. Tohru tried her best to reach of reach for Sakura but couldn't.

"My angel abilities are not effective here. What's going on?" Tohru asked herself. Kyoko, Arisa, and Hanajima ran towards Tohru as the four girls watched Sakura and Yamamura high in the air. "If they are your so called "friends" would you be protect or not them if I shoot the Arrow of Fate at them Sakura Tsuki the Cat Shinigami?" Yamamura asked Sakura as he let her go when a bow and arrow appeared in his hands.

"MAKE YOUR CHOICE!" he told Sakura when he then shot the Arrow of Fate at Tohru, Kyoko, Arisa, and Hanajima. The five girls' eyes grew wide as the Arrow of Fate was shot. "No!" the boys cried out watching the fate of the girls occur. "Oh no" Sakura yelled in her mind watching the arrow fly towards them.

Oh No! Tohru, Arisa, Kyoko, and Hanajima are going to die if Sakura doesn't save them from the Arrow of Fate. What will be Sakura's choice? Will she be able to make it in time before the Arrow of Fate reaches her friends or will she be too late? Find out in the next chapter of Shinigami Onigiri Series: Shinigami Tales 1!
