Hi guys! Sorry it took so long you know since the holidays And stuff but here's the last chapter of Aiko's animal partner so enjoy!
Chapter 48
As Aiko and Cherry had a staredown normally Aiko might be able to beat her in person but since cherry is using a Gt robot it might not be easy but Aiko wasn't going to give up that easily as she glanced at the nature deers taking cover away from them.
" Now that I have a good look at you, you don't look that tough but I'm curious about that power of yours" Cherry said as aiko stayed quiet as she glared at the robot. " your power even got a few back at headquarters interested in you."
" why would they even be interested?" Aiko asked
" all I know is that you're power is unique and they want you to work with us" cherry said
" I'll never join" Aiko said ' is my power really that unique?' She though
" Oh, well I can tell my boss that I tried at least. Now I guess I'll have to kill you" Cherry said
As Aiko glared at the robot as she kept her distance from cherry.
' she's at a distance that she can either attack me or defend herself from my attack...interesting' cherry though
" Peeler shot!" Cherry exclaimed as she aimed the attack at Aiko
Meanwhile with Toriko and the others
' I wonder if Aiko-chan is okay?' Coco though ' when I saw her last time she didn't have a shadow of death on her...I just hope that we'll make it on time...'
" Kiss...please go faster" Coco said as kiss flew a bit fast as sani and Toriko followed suit.
' I hope you didn't run into trouble Aki...' Sani though
' Aiko if that bishokukai laid one scratch on you...he'll have to answer to me' Toriko though
" hang on Toriko, I'm going at full speed!" Sani said pressing a few buttons.
As the plane went even faster trying to go to springforest which Is just hours away from them.
Back with Aiko and cherry
As Aiko swiftly dodged the attack as she ran at full speed
" Reiki ikazu seikou" Aiko exclaimed as she hit multiple shots at the robot as she saw the robot about to strike at her as she focused her reiki on her feet to swiftly move back getting distance from the robot.
' hmm she noticed when I was about to strike that she used her power to give her speed boost to avoid my attack...' cherry though
' I managed to hit the robot but there's only scratches I have to aim at the core of it...it might be in the head...but I don't know how strong she is...I have to be careful in this fight since no one else is here only me...' Aiko though ' I Can do this!'
" peeler shot!" Cherry exclaimed as aiko swiftly dodged it as the Gt robot was quicker as she was infront of Aiko as both of them attacked each other blocking every single attack they'd try to hit.
' she's fast if I didn't have this robot it would've been more fun' cherry though as cherry found and opening as she struck Aiko sending her flying as she hit a tree breaking it by the impact.
" is that all you've got girlie!" Cherry exclaimed as she didn't hear anything " don't tell you're dead already?" As she walked over to see if Aiko was there between the broken trees as she looked around but Aiko was nowhere in sight.
" this is no time for hide and seek!" Cherry exclaimed as she walked deeper in the road.
' concentrate my Reiki has to be thin like a needle...for what I have planned...and...Now!' Aiko though ' reiki hari chuubu mukaeutsu!' As Aiko shot out a swarm of glowing needles hitting the Gt robot.
' she lured me there on purpose! That bitch!' Cherry though as she jumped up in mid air.
" Shokugi: Ningen Oroshi " cherry exclaimed Launching the attack at Aiko as she was hit severely as the robot gripped her to the ground.
" you know you're really starting to annoy the hell outta me" Cherry said
" it just pisses you off right?" Aiko said " why are you here?"
" orders from headquarters to retrieve that animal to harvest the ingredient that it has"cherry said
As Aiko slightly glanced as she noticed the animals a few feet away from their fight. As the robot kept a firm grip on Aiko.
" time to say goodbye!" Cherry exclaimed as the robot opened its head to use the laser on her.
' No!' Aiko though then all of a sudden something attacked the robot. She was surprised that it was the young nature deer as it used its horns to strongly hit the Gt robot sending it flying a few feet hitting a few trees. As the young deer looked at Aiko as she slowly got up.
" you're helping me?" Aiko said the animal looked at her and slowly walked to her as she stared at the animal. Aiko though it was from the earlier events that lead it to repay it. As Aiko heard something. " look out!" As she shielded the animal from the attack as there was scratches in her body.
" you'd actually protect something that you're supposed to kill it? You're strange" cherry said as Aiko breath heavily. " either way you both will die" as the robot tried to move but couldn't as it tried it moved funny as it collapsed in the ground.
As Aiko grinned " it finally took affect think back. When I hid myself in the woods I needed time because I wanted to use an attack that causes a certain type of paralysis if it was your real body here it would've taken affect quicker but with the Gt robot it took longer because I was aiming at the core when you were distracted by my friend there it gave me a chance to hit a small needle on your head when you opened your laser." Aiko said " if it wasn't for her then I'd resort to a more dangerous tactic."
" it's not possible!" Cherry exclaimed
" it is, now it's over" Aiko said " Reiki mega pyro punch!" As her fists focused a large amount of fire power as she punched the robot multiple times as the robot burned the transmission core rendering it useless since its lost transmission.
Meanwhile in an unknown location
" I can't believe it! I lost to some plain Jane And her pet!" Cherry shouted as she punched the wall. As she went to change her clothes that consist of a traditional purple kimono underneath she wore light pink leggings and dark purple shoes. As the obi was light pink and purple as she had short black hair and amethyst eyes. As she punched the wall anger course through her
" Aiko the next time I see you! You won't be so lucky!" Cherry said darkly.
Back with Aiko
As Aiko looked at the robot not moving as it was charred as she dropped to her knees. As the young deer moved closer to her.
" hey you can go back home..." Aiko starts to say as her she stopped a bit as she felt dizzy. As the deer looked at her. " I'm fine...I just need to rest a bit." As the deer quickly left.
' I'm too tired, I'll rest up and I guess I'll call yuuto to take me home since I came here for the hazelclover but since those guys are endangered species I don't want to over hunt them' Aiko though
As a few minutes passed as she was resting in a tree as she was treating her injuries with some of her herbal ointment, as she looked up to see the deer that helped her from the fight, as the deer had something in its mouth as she dropped it in Aiko's feet.
" Oh A Gratin Flower? It's for me?" Aiko asked as the deer nod. As Aiko reached in her gourmet case " here have some plumpeach it's better to eat together" as she put the fruit in front of the deer as the deer looked at her and sniffed the fruit as she ate it.
" it's good right? Well itadakimasu!" Aiko said taking a bite of the gratin flower as she smiled " Oh this is good!"
After a long the animal stayed at Aiko's side until Aiko felt well and rested.
" you better go home now or else your parents will be worried about you" Aiko said it the animal as Aiko started to walk a bit but felt a strong tug from her clothes.
" it's something wrong?" Aiko said looking at the deer as she smelled something sweet " it's that hazelnuts I smell?" As the deer nod as she went closer to Aiko as Aiko smiled as what cherry said was true the nature deer can grow hazelclover around the neck area as you can see the clovers blooming releasing the aroma. " you're letting me have some?" As the deer gave a small nod
As Aiko took a bit of it as she took one clover looking at it as she smelled the fragrant from the clover. As she took a bite of it As her eyes widen.
' it's light and crisp like Romane lettuce! It's smell like hazelnuts that gently whets the appetite...when I chew it it releases the flavor!' Aiko though as she smiled as she sighs
" thank you for letting me have some " Aiko said softly
As she left the forest as she started to walk outside reaching the grassy plains that yuuto dropped her off a few days ago. To her surprise a few people was already there. As the three of the. Saw her.
" Aiko!/Aiko-chan!/Aki!" The three heavenly kings said as Aiko smiled at them.
" hey guys!" Aiko said as she felt sank hugging her tightly
" Aki! You had me worried sick!" Sani said as he looked at Aiko closely " after we're done here I'm taking you to the spa! You're skin is stressed out!"
" Oi Sani let go of her!" Toriko exclaimed
" I will not! I'm allowed to hug my future wife!" Sani exclaimed as a slight blush Appeared in Aiko's cheeks.
" For the last time she turn you down! " Toriko exclaimed
As the two heavenly kings were bickering as Aiko let out a small sigh.
' they never change, somehow I got used to it.' Aiko though
" Aiko-chan I'm glad that your okay" Coco said as he gave her a small smile
" Coco-kun let me guess you guys were worried about me right?" Aiko said
" well yes you're important to me...I mean you're important to us" Coco said as he slightly blushed
As she gave Coco a hug as he wrapped his arms around her.
" thanks for worrying about me Coco-kun I think that's sweet" Aiko said
' Aiko-Chan...it feels nice holding you like this...' Coco though as he slightly smiled as a slight blush appeared in his cheeks.
As the two heavenly kings stopped bickering when they Noticed Coco hugging Aiko in which they did not like it at all. As they felt a hint of jealousy at the sight of them.
" Oh I brought a few things that I'll be cooking so you guys are invited!" Aiko said happily as she smiled brightly.
" yeah! I can't wait to have your cooking again!" Toriko exclaimed
" Again? Since when did you have Aki's cooking?!" Sani exclaimed
As Aiko felt a tug on her clothes as she looked it was the deer.
" is that a nature deer?" Toriko said
" wha' it doin' here?" Sani said
As Aiko looked at the the deer looked at Aiko and somehow Aiko knew what the animal wanted.
" do you want to come with me?" Aiko asked softly
As the deer looked at her as she slightly nod. As Aiko saw the deer going closer to her as Aiko crouched eye level to the animal. As the deer licked her cheek.
" that tickles!" Aiko said as she giggled " hey guys I've got a partner and she's so cute!"
" that's great Aiko" Toriko said
As the group smiled as they went to Aiko's house as they took a seat in Aiko's dining room table the three of them were amazed at the house it had that nice peaceful atmosphere as they heard humming in the kitchen.
' this is the inside of her house...her scent is everywhere it's intoxicating...' Toriko though as he smiled
' Aki...this house is beaut'ful oh I can't wait until we have a house together' Sani though
' it's peaceful here...I like it' Coco though
" here we are guys!" Aiko said putting the tray on the table " hazelclover I've used one of my mother's recipes it's called pakora it's a crispy fried fritter"

' it's good the aroma of the hazelnuts gets you hook by it' Coco though
" it's delicious Aki! I can't wait to have more of your Cooking when we get married " Sani said

" I'm glad you guys like it because this is gong to my menu! The hazelclovers will be my hors d'oeuvre " Aiko said as the others smiled at her as they all ate the food as well as other treats that Aiko made as they enjoyed it as they said goodbye to her as Aiko stopped cleaning for a minute to look at the nature deer as it was eating a bowl of fruit salad that Aiko prepared for her.
