Chapter 1: The Giant Azalea
IB.
Instant Bullet.
He is one of those 20 "Instant Bullets": people who have been granted the power to destroy the world. And they will destroy the world.
He never thought he will become one. Though he doesn't know what he had become when his ability got more active after the failed wedding fiasco.
He only had known about IB when that Time girl told him. What's her name again? Ah, and also after that giant flower incident at Tokyo Tower.
He first thought that giant vine and azalea lookalike is caused by RinRin and RanRan. When he went to investigate, alone, as he put his foot in his mouth again when Akane cooked what can be called a biological weapon. So she refused to follow his endeavors this time. Although not before malleting him for his insult.
When he asked RinRin and RanRan about those giant flowers (both of them staying at Nerima not long after the wedding fiasco, and they opened their own flower and herbs shop), they denied they caused that giant flower. And after having to deal with Nabiki for almost one year, he can sense lies and deceit very easily, it's like he developed 7th sense specifically just for detecting lies. He senses no lies from the pair, and since only them that he knew can create giant plant life, he begins to suspect that the giant flower is caused by youma or some kind of mutant Juraiian tree. Although it was kind of strange that youma would be attacking other parts of Japan that are not Juuban. The Senshi arrived a little late though because as just they arrived, the giant flower died.
At the Tendou's, just before he can call and ask Usagi-chan about the flower, he received a visitor. A girl. And she wants to talk with him. Alone. At first, he hesitated to even try to speak to her, as Akane already glowing since that Yume Furusuna, the girl's name, arrived here. The fathers is bitching and whining about him cheating on his fiancé like usual. The snake is scheming how to make a profit with her presence here. And Kasumi's silent observation escaped everyone's notice, except him.
"I know what caused that giant vine." She said calmly while sipping her tea.
There is no lie in her statement. Well, that's interesting, he thinks. But before he can say anything, the usual thing happened.
Shampoo, Ukyo, Ryoga, Mousse, and even the Kunos sibling came crashing to the Tendou's. So Nabiki called them here. Luckily they all came from the front door, so there was no property damage this time.
When the fiancees including Akane, excluding Kodachi, tried to pick a fight with Yume, she surprised him when she accepted their challenge. He is even more surprised when she says she can defeat all of them at the same time. He knew that she was not a martial artist or an overpowered Jusenkyo victim, so he wonder how she gonna fight with a bunch of trigger-happy fiancees.
Five seconds. That's all needed for Yume Furusuna to disable and beat the shit out of all four of them.
At first, she evaded all their attack with extreme precision. Never once did their attack connects with her body. And when they all blink from the flour bomb, she disappears. He knew that because he unconsciously use his Ki to shield his body. Even from minor things like dust off the flour. She disappeared, not unlike Umisenken that had the user slowly fade from the view, hers more instant than Umisenken, leaving brief static of television behind. And just like that, all four of them suddenly fall to the floor, their eyes wide from their defeat. Their body showed bruising from many places. How did she attack all four without him ever seeing her doing so?
And in the middle of his confusion, Ryoga, Mousse, and Kuno attacked him.
Before the idiot trio can touch him, she disappears again. And just like that, all three of them also got defeated.
"Shall we?" She said, dusting away any dirt and dust from her clothes. She walked over the crumpled heap of idiocy towards the front door.
He nodded, not saying anything. He silently followed her. He vaguely heard Kasumi saying something. Something about Akane got a fractured rib? Whatever. He has something more important to do right now. Like hearing what Yume gonna say about that giant flower.
