Chapter 53: The Final Battle Part 2
"Gou!" Bo shouted as she gain the energy to run to Gou. She helps her up keeping an eye on the ghost and Chigusa.
"What do we do?" Gou asked rubbing her head. "Bo you're bleeding!" Gou points out and grabs Bo's right arm.
"It's just a flesh wound." Bo said brushing it off. "How many hours do we have left?"
"About three and a half?" Gou said not knowing.
"Man this isn't going to be good!" Bo flinched in pain causing Gou to worry.
….
"Kisumi, let us out!" Rin banged the wall as hard as he could to get Kisumi's attention. Kisumi doesn't respond as he leans against the outer wall clutching his chest. Blood was staining the wall behind him and he starts to lean forward in pain.
"He can't hear us…" Haru said in disappointment.
"My baby!" Gou's mother cried and Nana comforts her as she wailed.
"They are going to get killed!" Momotaro hissed under his breath.
"And it's all my fault…" Rei squats down with his fingers in his hair. "I should have loved her more than to just give up on her and chase someone else…" he cried. Nagisa quickly gave him a hug.
"Rei-chan, it's no one's fault…" he said rubbing Rei's back. "I think there's something more to this than what meets the eye. Something must have happen to Chigusa-chan."
"What do you mean?" Rei asked.
"Something in her personal life must have psychologically hurt her." Hajime spoke up. "Maybe someone close to her failed to present love?" he shrugged.
"The strange man has a point." Sousuke agreed.
"Mommy, I'm scared…" Midori whimpered and clung to Sakura.
"It is going to be alright. Just be brave, okay." Sakura said trying to calm him.
"Let's just put our trust in the girls." Nana spoke. "If anyone can get through to Chigusa then it's them."
…..
"I think we should put our powers together." Bo thought up a plan. "We are in sync mentally but not physically right? Then let's work together."
"But we don't know how!" Gou argued.
"Do we have a choice?" Bo yelled silencing Gou in the process.
"Then fine. We will try." Gou finally agreed.
The girls shut their eyes and cleared their minds. They faced each other and held each other's hands, feeling their energy coming through them. They let go and face the other way to face Chigusa. They move slowly and at the same time. They moved their arms around in sync with one another. With one swipe they made an electric, frozen block come out of the water and hit Chigusa and the ghost sending them back.
They girls continued to step and move their arms, creating one block to another to keep Chigusa and the ghost back. When they made a block to hit the ghost, she stopped it with one hand and destroyed it to shards. Then she pushed them back to the girls. Gou quickly made a wall to protect both of them.
"Well that failed…" Gou hissed.
"So close…" Bo sighed.
'What do we do? I got it!' Gou thought As she remembered what Risa did in Tokyo. "Bo, stand back!" she shouted and Bo hesitantly did as she was told. Gou closed her eyes and imagined a golem shaped figure made from ice above her who would copy what she did and does what it's told. When she opened her eyes a dark shadow was above her. She looked up and see the golem she pictured.
"Damn...when did she learn to do that?" Bo said as she stared at the golem amazed. Gou moved her hand a little and the golem did the same.
"Alright!" she cheered. "GO!" she yelled with all her might and the golem attack the ghost. Chigusa threw punches as well as Gou did. They kicked, threw, and hit each other until their hands were gripped together with force.
"You're done for!" Chigusa shouted.
"It's all over for you!" Gou said as she pushed.
…
"Kisumi!" Bo ran to him as Gou fought Chigusa. "How do we free Chigusa? Is there some separation spell or something?"
"There's nothing you can do…." Kisumi said weakly gripping his chest. "That potion is a parasite spell….once it's gone the spirit can take over a live body slowly...it starts from the mind and slowly sneaks into the soul…" Kisumi coughed up blood as he explained.
"Do you even know why?"
"A harsh suicide attempt...maybe." he said shrugging slightly. "I want you to stop her even if there is no way. I don't want to disappear from me."
"Why should I?"
"I love her too much to let go…" Kisumi weezed. "If….if I had conveyed my feeling earlier than this wouldn't have happened...I am a fool aren't I… O should have been there when her father began to abuse her...when her friends were leaving...when her unrequited love loved someone else…"
"What?" Bo gasped at his unconscious mumbling. "So she's basically acting out in the most supernatural, shitty way!?"
"Please...get her to stop…" then Kisumi fel asleep.
"Yo, Kisumi!" Bo starts to shake him. "No, no, no, Kisumi, go to the light!" she slapped him continuously on his cheeks. "Wait, no, stay away from the light! Stay away from it!" she smacked again but nothing happened. "Shit, fuck me…" she growled.
…
As the girls fought Chigusa squeezed Gou's hands causing her bones to crack. She screeched in pain and her golem's arms shattered. The Chigusa kicked her as the ghost punched the golem in it's chest. The golem tell and completely broke into thousands of pieces. The ghost sent gushes of powerful wind towards Gou but she was able to form a wall from the broken golem and blocked the wind.
"She is not going to get away with this!" Gou shouted pushing the wall towards them. The ghost broke it and send it back but Gou used to the pieces to get closer to the ghost.
As Gou prepared her frozen lances the ghost had a white glowing light in her hand. Bo's vibes went off and then she quickly made a snake and wrapped in around Gou, pulling her away. She accidently threw Gou and the lances covered the ghost's face covering her line of sight. The light hit Bo in the leg and sent her across the clearing on her side, holding her right leg.
"Fucking hell, you bitch, motherfucker!" Bo cried out in pain.
"Bo, are you alright!? Why did you do that!" Gou screamed as she went to Bo's side.
"My vibes went off so I figured that something really bad was going to happen." Bo started to shiver uncontrollably.
"Your leg!" Gou yelled. Bo's leg was blue and covered with frostbite. Her foot was already a block of ice.
"Bo will die…" Chigusa and the ghost said in sync with each other. "Since I got her in the foot, she will freeze to death slowly. My aim for the head or heart would have made it instantly but watching her suffer will please me!" they both start to laugh. Bo tried to break the ice on her foot with electricity but nothing happen. She couldn't make electricity at all.
"Well, it was fun while it lasted." Bo shivered and rubbed her arms for warmth.
"No, no, no, you are not dying on me!" Gou cried.
"Gou, it's alright…" Bo said with tears falling from her eyes. "It's up to you now…"
"Me? I can't do this without you! That means that I have to…" Gou remembered Ran's words about destroying Chigusa. "I can't, I can't!"
"Gou, listen to me…" Bo grabbed her hand and squeezed it. "I don't think Ran meant Chigusa...I think she meant the ghost hanging above her…"
"What do you mean?" Gou gasped.
"Haven't you noticed that they are working as one...they are in sync with each other...and it started after Chigusa drank the potion...I-I think that the ghost is the head to all of this a-and filled Chigusa w-with lies...by getting through to Chigusa you will be able to g-get her back...and bring down that ghost…" Bo explained. 'I don't think it's wise to tell her about what Kisumi said. She's already a wreck...this is good for her to help her friend out. She can hear all of Chigusa's whining from her…' Bo thought as she explained. 'I don't have a future because of this curse. There is no way for me to be normal like her. She can become normal again...have a life with Makoto.'
"I can't! Chigusa hates me! She hates the both of us!"
"You two were best of friends right!?" Bo yelled. "Friends fight and hate each other for a while and then get back together. I-I think Chigusa did this to get your attention. She's h-hurting inside and wanted you to notice…" Bo cried out in pain as she was getting up with Gou helping her. The ice grew and covered her leg. "Gou, I'm starting to not feel anything…"
"I can't do this!"
"Yes you can! Talk to her, Gou! She's your best friend! You have to help her! To me, I don't care for Chigusa! I'm not friends with her but you are! Friends help other no matter what happens between them! Gou, you are the only person; you're the only hope now so…" Bo said taking Gou's arm and lifting her up the ground. "GO SAVE YOUR FRIEND!" Bo screamed throwing Gou into the air, towards Chigusa and the ghost. 'This is the last thing I will do for her...as her friend!'
Gou slowly turned around to see Bo. Bo had the kindest but saddest smile Gou as ever witness from her. Bo mouthed something to Gou that struck a chord with her. Then Bo was completely frozen and stuck in the position of when she threw Gou.
"BOBOA!" Gou screamed as she hit the ground hard and slid in the fetal position, crying.
