ROSARIO+KIVA
Episode 50: Eye of the Yasha
Word of how Wataru had managed to hunt down and kill a Monster Durian Plant and supply his whole class with the sweet fruit spread quickly. The freshmen of course were very impressed since those plants were very dangerous and known for eating whatever got near them. Many of the freshmen boys started thinking that perhaps fighting Wataru for glory wasn't going to be such an easy task as they thought and began to back off, leaving more room for fans. The female freshmen though began to ask him for strolls in the woods and perhaps getting them Durians for them to enjoy on a nice day underneath the Monster Tree. Moka and the others of course began to get huffy about that.
Just a usual day at Youkai Academy. It was weeks after the Monster Durian Hunt and right now Wataru was sitting in the schoolyard with his friends. It was lunchtime and they all decided to enjoy food outside for a change since it was a nicer day. It also gave the brothers a chance to hang out with one another along with their friends which extended between the three years at the school. In attendance was Wataru, his girls, Taiga, and Mio. Kokoa was off asserting her dominance somewhere while Ramon had been invited to a mid-day swim with the girls of the swimming club.
"I've noticed that Ramon-kun is spending a lot of time with the Swim Club," said Moka.
"Well, he is a member," said Wataru. "I'm happy he's making friends."
"Wataru, they tried to suck you dry last year," reminded Kurumu.
"Oh, I'm sure they've learnt their lesson after I defeated them," said Wataru.
While the day was nice, the reason they were all outside was because that Mio had also joined the Newspaper Club since all her friends were members of the club. She was actually enjoying her time in Youkai Academy and she felt like she didn't stick out like a sore thumb anymore no matter how normal or plain she looked. Rather than someone unique, she felt like she was accepted as part of the crowd. Of course, being part of the 'In' crowd certainly made her feel better.
Suddenly the celebrations were interrupted when there was a loud announcement, "I'VE FOUND YOU!" All heads turned towards the source of the voice and found that t was a girl, with long braided, black hair, dressed out of uniform. Instead, she sported regal, Chinese-looking clothes. "WATARU KURENAI, I WANT YOU!"
The sound of glass shattering could be heard.
"Wataru-kun…" spoke Moka in a threatening tone despite smiling. "Who is this girl?"
"Moka-san…" Wataru nervously backed away and he ended up bumping into Kurumu who wrapped her arms around him, keeping him still. Wataru froze. Mizore and Yukari were glaring at him too. Although this certainly wasn't the scariest that they could get, he knew that if he didn't answer in a way that soothed their tempers soon, he would see just how scary they could all get.
"Is this normal?" Mio asked Taiga.
"Kinda," Taiga shrugged.
"Excuse me!" the 'girl' called out. "I'm not a girl, I'm a boy!"
"BOY!-?" Moka, Mizore, Kurumu and Yukari shouted.
"I'm Wong Fong-Fong," the boy-that-looked-like-a-girl introduced himself. "And Wataru Kurenai, I want you!"
The girls of Wataru's harem froze like statues as they stared at the newly identified boy in sheer shock. Wataru gaped, not quite sure if what he heard was correct. Mio was blushing as thoughts of Yaoi began entering her mind. Taiga on the other hand just tried to stifle his laughter.
"Otouto…I think…you finally…surpassed your father's charm," he chortled as he tried not to laugh outright. Confessions were big deals after all and shouldn't be turned down harshly, no matter how badly one didn't return the confessor's feelings.
"Ano…um…I…ah…" Wataru blinked. He silently hoped he misheard. "You…want me?"
"DAMN RIGHT I DO!" the boy nodded.
"I'm…flattered," answered Wataru. "But…I'm not interested in that kind of relationship."
"'That kind of relationship'?" repeated Fong-Fong and then he blushed as he realised how it might have sounded. He waved his hands rapidly in front of himself, "Oh, no! No, no, no, no! You've misunderstood me! What I meant is that I want you to join my group."
"Your group?" Taiga asked suspiciously, all sense of mirth leaving him. "Like a gang?"
"Not a gang," Fong-Fong denied. "I want Kurenai-sempai to join my family's Triad group."
"WHAAAAAAAT-?-!"
The girls were again in a state of shock at the sudden demand to join up with the Triad of all people. Of course, that quickly ended when the information was finally processed and reached the minds of all of the girls.
"What is wrong with you?-!" demanded Kurumu. "My Destined One would never join the Triad!"
"Wataru-kun isn't some kind of criminal!" Moka raged.
"He's a hunky superhero desu!" Yukari added.
"The father of my future children must be a good role model!" Mizore nodded.
Fong-Fong blinked at the sudden and quite passionate outcry from the four girls who had been sitting with Wataru. He at first thought they were casual friends or something since the other boy and girl with there as well. However, it seemed that these girls weren't just normal friends, but Wataru's lovers!
"Are you…are you all his mistresses?" Fong-Fong asked bluntly.
"Yes!" the four girls cried out, but then glanced at one another.
"In…incredible," Fong-Fong gasped as he stumbled back. "To think a man like that exists in this day an age. To be able to seduce four women at once to the point they all agree to share. It's…so immense." He was silent for a moment. "This just proves it! You're exactly the kind of man I need in my Triad!"
"Woah! Woah! Woah!" Wataru waved his hands in front of himself. "I haven't agreed to anything! And I certainly don't want to join a Triad."
"The Wong Triad…" Taiga murmured. "I knew I heard that name before. The Wong Triad group controls a large amount of the Hong Kong underworld."
"Taiga-san, how do you know that?" asked Mio.
"Bishop made sure I knew about it just in case there was an opportunity for an alliance," said Taiga. He left it unsaid he had to learn that information just in case he had to go to war with them too. Taiga asked, "So, why do you want my brother here to join?"
"If the rumors are true, than Kurenai-sempai was the one who defeated Arc, the Legendorga King, and saved the world!" said Fong-Fong. He pointed to the sky, "And he has even left his mark upon the moon!"
Wataru was beginning to think that kicking Arc straight into the moon's surface was not a good idea. Not only was the Mark of Kiva left on the moon's surface for all to see, since everyone in the school knew the symbol was associated to him, it would be a simple task to make the connection. Sure it was a spur of the moment kind of thing, but now it seemed that it was coming back up to bite him in the rear end. Everyone knew that it was Kiva that saved them. Well, the monsters of the world anyway.
"But I…don't want to join the Triad," Wataru mumbled.
"Don't say that yet Sempai!" Fong-Fong cried. "Think of the perks you could have!"
"Perks?"
"For starters you will be my right hand man, and also you'll have fortunes upon fortunes at your fingertips! Not only that you'll have men who would be ready to die for you as they serve you and most of all you can have many, many wives!" said Fong-Fong.
"It's like he's advertising," Taiga whispered to Mio. Mio could only nod, bewildered by the entire situation.
"M-many wives?" Wataru blinked.
"That's right!" Fong-Fong grinned. "Each of your mistresses will have complete legal standing as your wife! No matter how many women you get, we of the Wong Family will treat them all as your precious wives! All of your perks will also apply to them!"
"We already have that, baka!" Kurumu deadpanned while crossing her arms. "Wataru's Fangire royalty! He can marry all of us!"
That tidbit of information brought Fong-Fong up short, "R-Royalty? Fangires?"
"That's right," Taiga nodded after removing his glove, raising his hand as to reveal his King marking, making Fong-Fong pale further. "He's my brother. We share the same mother, the former Queen, so of course he is of royal blood too."
"Fangire…royalty…" Fong-Fong gasped dramatically. However, his eyes began to sparkle as his determination rose even more. "Yes! It's perfect! The Wong Family will truly thrive if we can prove worthy of having ties to the Fangire Clan!"
"Doesn't he ever quit?" asked Mizore.
"Ano…" Wataru blinked.
"I see. You're worried about how strong the Wong Family is," Fong-Fong nodded. Reaching into his sleeves, he produced several Chinese coins and a paper talisman. Trapping the coins between his hands, he spread them out to have them connect into the shape of a sword. "I shall prove to you the strength of the Wong Family and you will have no choice but to join!"
"W-wait!" Wataru cried.
Fong-Fong erupted in power as light shone from his forehead. To the surprise of everyone, the light turned into a third eye. Fong-Fong then took the talisman and stabbed it onto his sword while chanting. The paper then suddenly flashed and around him, a truck-sized panda with beady eyes and sharp teeth appeared. The bear roared loudly and stared at Wataru. Fong-Fong blinked and glanced at the bear he had summoned.
"Not what I was aiming for, but," he shrugged before he regarded Wataru. "I shall prove the strength of the Yasha and the Wong Family! Attack!"
Meanwhile, Kokoa was sitting under a tree with her favourite pastime. In her hands was a manga, and not just any manga, but yaoi doujinshi. She was a fan of suck works and as she opened the first page, her eyes were focused on the images of two hot and handsome young men getting it on like lovers. It was her guilty pleasure and as disgusting as it was to a vampire of pride like her she just couldn't put the book down as she flipped the pages to see what happened next. "Oh…oh yeah…" she grinned and giggled. "Yeah, that's right. Give it to him."
"Yo, Kokoa-chan!" Ramon greeted, causing her to shriek and drop her book.
Gasping, Kokoa yelled, "Don't scare me like that!" She saw Ramon picking up her book. "And don't touch that! That's mine!"
"What's this?" Ramon peered at a random page curiously before instantly closing the book. "Yuck!" he stuck his tongue out. "Naked boys!" Kokoa snatched the book out of the Merman's hands.
"Just leave me alone!" she snapped, blushing. "Go and hang out with those mermaid floozies!"
Ramon was about to respond when he heard the sound of Wataru screaming and as he looked up he saw Wataru being chased by a large panda. Kokoa saw it too as Wataru went around the corner of the building, the giant panda in hot pursuit.
"Did you just see Wataru-sama being chased by a panda?" asked Ramon.
Kokoa nodded, stunned, "Yes, yes I did." She then realised. "Wait, wasn't the one riding that panda that Chinese kid from our class?"
"That did look like him. Wonder why he's chasing Wataru-sama?"
"YOU CAN'T RUN FOREVER, SEMPAI!" Fong-Fong's voice shouted out. "I WILL PROVE MYSELF WORTHY OF YOU!"
Kokoa's nose started to bleed as her eyes took a dreamy look. "Onii-sama…bishonen…Fong-Fong…together…boys…love…"
"Wataru-sama," Ramon sighed. "Not another stalker."
Wataru panted as he tried to get some distance away from Fong-Fong and his summoned Panda. Wataru remembered Fong-Fong saying he was a Yasha and from what he remembered, Yasha were capable of summoning other monsters to aid them in battle. He wasn't sure how strong Fong-Fong's abilities were by merely summoning a panda, even if it did look rather rabid and ferocious but he didn't want to fight the panda to find out.
Running past a corner, Wataru saw two female students carrying what looked like a giant beach ball, chatting about the upcoming sports festival which would take place after summer vacation. Running past them, he continued to make his break for safety from the rabid panda. As the panda and Fong-Fong appeared from around the corner, the black and white bear made a flying leap to tackle its target in a most painful way…
…And landed on the giant beach ball, launching Fong-Fong from his spot as the beast began to play with it, much to the cooing delight of the two girls.
"Ow…" Fong-Fong groaned as he hit the ground.
Wataru turned and saw that the giant panda was busy with the beach ball and turned a scrutinizing eye towards Fong-Fong. Panting, he told him flat out, "I am not joining you." He was about to walk away when Fong-Fong grabbed him by the ankle. "Hey, let me go!"
"I am not going to give up until you agree to join me!" Fong-Fong insisted.
"Hey, let go of him!" Kurumu shouted. She and the other girls had caught up with them. Taiga and Mio were joining them just to see how this would turn out. It was still all so strange for Mio who'd lived all her life believing herself to be human but Taiga was patient enough to show her what she needed to know about the world of monsters.
"Wataru-kun already said he would not join!" shouted Moka. "Please, just leave him alone!"
"But I need to prove myself!" countered Fong-Fong. "I need to prove I am not a weak and spoilt child! If Kurenai-sempai becomes my subordinate, that means I deserve some respect!"
"Respect is earned, Fong-Fong-san," said Wataru sternly. "It's not something you can demand or buy."
"I know that! I'm trying!" Fong-Fong cried out. "But if I'm going to begin getting that respect, I need to surround myself with strong people to begin getting that respect. Once those people are with me, I can begin doing things myself!"
"I think your logic is flawed," Yukari sweatdropped.
Another interruption came in the form of Ramon and Kokoa running onto the scene with the small vampire leading the pair. Her nose was still bleeding as they approached and her face was flushed. Bursting through some of the sparse foliage, she skidded to a halt near the group with a strange look in her eyes, "Are they naked yet?-!" She took in the scene where Fong-Fong was apparently trying to climb up Wataru's leg before her nosebleed went off like a pipe with high pressure as she fell backwards.
"Kokoa-chan!" Moka cried, dashing to her younger sibling.
Wataru palmed his face and shook his head. He would much rather resolve this matter peacefully, but Fong-Fong was determined, not to mention desperate, in his attempt to convince the Fandiri to join his Triad group.
"Wataru!" Taiga called. "It looks like there's no avoiding it! You'll have to show this person his place or else he'll never leave you alone."
"Nii-san…" Wataru sighed. As much as he didn't want to use violence against Fong-Fong, the Yasha was not likely to leave him alone. He would much rather make friends than enemies but if Fong-Fong wouldn't take no for an answer, then maybe he would understand it when forced was used. "Fong-Fong-san, get up," said Wataru. Fong-Fong did as told, dusting off his clothes as he looked at Wataru hopefully. "Forgive me, Fong-Fong-san, but it would appear that you leave me no choice. Kivat!"
Hearing his name, the Kivat-bat III swooped down and flew around Wataru. Fong-Fong looked on in curiosity as Wataru took hold of Kivat and pressed him against his free hand, allowing the mechanical bat to sink his fangs into the flesh. His Fangire markings appeared as a surge of energy flowed through his veins and he looked Fong-Fong dead in the eyes as the Yasha trembled in anticipation. The chains wrapped around Wataru's waist, melting and reforming into the Kiva Belt. "Henshin!" Wataru called as he hung Kivat upside down from the perch on the front of the belt.
Fong-Fong's eyes widened as he watched quicksilver envelop Wataru before its shape morphed and the silver layer shattered, revealing Kamen Rider Kiva in all before the young man.
"Wow!" Fong-Fong's eyes sparkled. It was as majestic as he'd been told. He then recovered and took out his coin sword. Banishing the giant panda, he decided to show Kiva what he could do. Chanting with a talisman in hand, he stabbed his coin sword into his talisman. There was a bright flash of light which blinded everyone and Kiva clenched his fists in anticipation of what Fong-Fong would summon next…
…only to gape as the smoke cleared away to reveal…
"A chick?" Yukari blinked.
It was a chick and it looked around in confusion. Fong-Fong was also gaping as he looked down at the chick and then back up at Kiva. He gulped nervously. "Ah…redo?"
POW!
It took a single straight punch to send Fong-Fong flying through the air. Fong-Fong then went tumbling along the ground before he landed faceup, eyes swirling in a daze.
Kiva really didn't like beating up people like that, but Fong-Fong was really annoying and asking for it. It would seem a little cruel but at least Kiva resisted the urge to use his Emperor Form.
"That's it?" asked Kivat. "That's all you called me for?"
"Sorry, Kivat," apologized Kiva.
Fong-Fong recovered, spitting out some blood as he rose to his feet. "That…was a good hit."
"You're still conscious?" Kiva was amazed. He looked at his fist. He'd meant to knock Fong-Fong out.
"I have been known to be so stubborn that I can never be knocked out," boasted Fong-Fong. The chick was pecking at his foot. Curious, he kneeled down to see what the baby bird had wanted. Chirping, the bird leaped at the talisman Fong-Fong used to summon it before it swallowed the slip of paper in one gulp. The group watched in curiosity, wondering just why the bird did that. However, the curiosity turned into outright shock when the baby bird suddenly exploded into a large fire, making everyone retreat. From the inferno that the chick created, a massive bird-like shape made of fire with a long beak and crest of red flames appeared with a massive shriek.
"A phoenix?-!" Taiga cried, gaping at Fong-Fong. "You actually summoned a phoenix!"
"I wasn't going to summon just any bird to fight Sempai!" Fong-Fong shot back.
"Can't you get rid of it?-!" cried Kurumu
"He ate the talisman! I can't!" Fong-Fong replied.
The phoenix just flapped its wings, spreading embers all over as heat and flames seemed to be spreading in all directions. "Now my summoner, I will grant your wish!"
"Oi, oi, now things are getting interesting!" Kivat grinned from his perch. "Wataru, you know what to do!"
"Right!" Kiva nodded, grabbing one of his Fuestles. Picking the castle-shaped one, he stuck it into Kivat's mouth before letting the Kivat Clan member unleash its magic.
"CASTLE DORAN!"
The effect was near instant as a bellowing roar echoed through the air. Out from the distance, the purple and gray form of Castle Doran appeared, bellowing in response to the call of its Master. The dragon/castle flew towards the academy and quickly spotted the phoenix threatening the group of friends. Narrowing his eyes, Doran unleashed a roar of challenge at the flaming bird.
"A Doran!" the phoenix shrieked. "It will be a pleasure burning you!"
Castle Doran responded with a roar and looked down at Kiva. Nodding, Kiva leapt up and landed upon the clock tower on Castle Doran and prepared for battle.
Mio's eyes were wide as she saw the two giant beasts rise into the sky with their wings. The phoenix screeched and with several flaps of its wings, hurled fireballs at Castle Doran who countered by spitting out its own barrage of fireballs. The two beasts then flew at each other, colliding with thunderous force. The phoenix clawed at Castle Doran as the castle-encased dragon lashed out with its sharp teeth. The roars and bird-like shrieks got the attention of everyone in the academy and they all came out to watch the action.
"I sure hope Wataru doesn't get expelled for this," said Taiga. Looking up at the battle, he decided to help out. He put his fingers to his lips and blew, letting out a whistle.
The phoenix's entire body was enveloped in flames as Castle Doran was knocked to the ground with a violent crash. Suddenly, a beam of rainbow-colored light slammed explosively into the back of the phoenix and everyone gasped as another monstrous beast entered. It was Taiga's own pet, the winged serpent Kukulkan. "Go!" Taiga commanded. The winged serpent let loose a hiss and swooped down, hitting the phoenix with its sharp wing.
At that very moment, Shoo-Doran landed in front of Moka. "Eh, Shoo-chan?" Shoo-Doran gestured with its head up at Castle Doran. Moka understood. "Alright, take me to him." Moka straddled the neck of Shoo-Doran and the windmill dragon took flight.
"Oi, Moka! Don't let Wataru lose!" Kurumu called.
"This…is so…exciting!" Fong-Fong cried.
"Can I kill him?" Mizore asked, annoyed.
Shoo-Doran flew over to its recovering parent with Moka in tow. As they got to Doran, Shoo-Doran allowed Moka to leap off and land on one of the rooftops of Doran, allowing her to see Kiva getting his own senses back from the sudden attack from the bird, "Wataru-kun!"
"Moka?" Kiva blinked, seeing the pink-haired vampire running towards him.
"Wataru-kun, I'm here to help," Moka called as she reached the Kamen Rider. As she got to him, she presented her rosario. "Please, let me help."
Kiva nodded and took hold of the silver cross. With a mighty yank, he came off cleanly, ending its sealing properties on Moka. The vampire was immediately enveloped in powerful demonic energy as her body changed from that of the cute and cuddly Moka to the sexy and sensual version whom Kokoa among others admired so much.
"Hmmm," Moka-sama purred as she eyed Kukulkan fighting the phoenix. "A phoenix. You know how to spoil a woman, my mate. Shall we?"
"Of course," Kiva chuckled before he regarded his living fortress. "DORAN!"
Castle Doran, now with Shoo-Doran attached, let loose a loud roar, throwing its head back as its wings spread out to full width. It then took to the air and fired the Magic Missiles (the towers of the castle) at the phoenix and the fire bird screeched as it was hit. Both child and parent then spat out a barrage of fireballs, pinning the flaming bird of prey in place.
"Time to finish it," said Kiva as he pulled out the Wake Up Fuestle. He put it in Kivat's mouth and his partner blew into it, shouting it, "WAKE UP!"
Both Moka-sama and Kiva bent their knees as Kiva's Catena Chains shattered, allowing the Hell's Gate that was equipped to his right leg to open. Day turned into knight as a crescent moon appeared behind them, giving an ominous glow. Fong-Fong's eyes widened as he saw this before Kiva and Moka-sama leapt up into the air and descended with flying kicks. "KNOW…YOUR…PLACE!"
Their kicks collided with the phoenix with such force that the bird of prey exploded, turning into a fireball. The two vampiric fighters simply landed on the ground as a chick fell out of the fireball. Mio quickly caught the chick in her hand as its eyes swirled about.
Moka-sama flipped her hair and smiled at her chosen mate who gave her a nod. Suddenly, they heard a shout, "THAT WAS AMAZING!" It was Fong-Fong.
BONK!
"Ow!" Fong-Fong cried as Kurumu smacked him upside the head.
"It was also your fault!" the succubus cried. "Honestly! Summoning a phoenix? Don't you know how dangerous those things can be!-? Even vampires know better than to mess with them if they can help it!"
"That bird was ten years too young to be a threat to me," Moka-sama sniffed. "I think it got off easy for its immaturity."
"Poor Pyo-chan," Mio pouted, gently caressing the baby phoenix's warm and downy feathers. The tired and sore chick peeped softly at the gentle touch. It seemed that with its burning and return to infancy, its mind had likewise returned to infancy as well.
Moka-sama turned from her friends so to look directly at Fong-Fong, "I trust this gets the message across?"
"Oh yes!" Fong-Fong nodded rapidly. "I must add both of you to my Triad! It's fate that led me to the both of you!"
WHAM!
"I WILL NOT GIVE UP~!" Fong-Fong declared as he was sent skyward by the kick, turning into a single speck.
Taiga whistled, "Good distance."
"He's going to be annoying," said Kiva.
"Indeed," agreed Moka-sama. She then gave Kiva a sly smile as he undid his transformation. Looping her arms around his neck, she gave his neck a kiss before biting down.
"Ow!" Wataru yelped as Moka-sama started to drink from him before pulling away. She took her seal back afterwards.
"That is payment for my assistance," said Moka-sama as she attached the seal back to her choker. "Until another time, my mate."
Wataru massaged his neck and smiled as Moka-sama reverted back to Moka who he caught as she fell backwards in exhaustion.
A new day had dawned on Youkai Academy, but it seemed that old hijinks were up and around again despite the new faces that were in attendance.
"Kurenai-sempai! Fight me!" Fong-Fong cried as he chased Wataru down the hall while waving a Chinese dao sword. "I'll prove myself to you!"
"Fong-Fong-san! Stop iiiiiiiiit!" cried Moka as she chased the Chinese boy who was chasing her love.
The group that the boy and girl could only watch as the hijinks went on. Most of them were sporting sweatdrops as they watched the trio run about. What was strange about the scene was that Kokoa was watching with more than a little interest and that her nose was bleeding again.
"Two…boys…real," she gasped out, stuck in her fantasy.
"We don't need a boy in the harem," Yukari huffed.
"Wataru-sama," Ramon sighed.
KAMEN RIDER CHROME: OK, I know Fong-Fong appeared after summer break but he was so funny I had to introduce him early into the fic. Well, it does make things interesting now. I mean defeating a world-dominating Mazoku Clan speaks more volume compared to Yakuza and a company called Fairy Tale. Oh, and if you all expect to see Fairy Tale, you're gonna be disappointed. Bishop will be the main antagonist here until the finale and let's just say he has yet to give up on his dream for a Fangire-run world with King and Queen as figureheads. BTW, I'd like to thank Ten-Faced Paladin again for his help.
