Honest to Dios
Chapter 2: This Means War
"HELP!" Utena screamed. Akio was strangling her for no apparent reason.
"Onii-sama," Anthy said. "What are you doing?"
"Isn't it obvious!?" Akio shouted. "I'm strangling her for no apparent reason!"
"Oh," Anthy said and sat down again. She didn't even bother to help Utena.
"HI-ME-MI-YA-!-!-!" Utena screamed in broken sounds. "HELP!" she gasped.
"Huh?" Anthy said cluelessly.
Suddenly Chu-chu came up to the three drunkards.
"Chu chu chuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" he screamed in the ultimate rage.
"Chu-chu says that we have to be sensible and all agree on the same wish!" Anthy told them.
"Okay!" Utena said. "I want Akio to disappear!"
Akio responded by choking her more violently.
"Onii-sama, you must stop that!"
"Why, I'm enjoying it." Akio answered.
"Because if you kill Utena-sama, we won't be able to get the wish at all."
Akio stopped. "I want that wish. I want power. And if either of you disagrees with me, I will kill you!!!"
"No!" Utena said.
"What!? You defy me?!!" Akio raged.
"Yes!" Utena said.
"Arggghhh! You will bend your will to me!"
Utena stuck her tongue out at him. "You don't scare me, Mr. Chairman. You're just like all of those movie stars that sleep their way to the top!"
"You're the same!" Akio spat.
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"CCCCCCCCHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!" Chu-chu chastised them. They stopped bickering but still were glaring at each other.
"I challenge you and Anthy to a battle of wits and violence!" Akio declared.
"But that's not fair!" Anthy cried.
"Oh stop whining!" Akio said.
"No, Anthy's right. It isn't fair. It's us two against only one of you. You'll lose too fast and it won't be as fun as seeing you suffer." Utena commented.
Akio was about to snap back that he didn't intend to lose at all, but Utena went on.
"Therefore, Chu-chu will be your partner."
"No!" Anthy cried.
"Chu?" Chu-chu wondered aloud.
"It's okay Chu-chu. Go on with Akio and don't worry about Anthy and I." Utena prompted Chu-chu to move and he scurried over to Akio a looked up at him. "Chu chuu!" he declared and gave Akio a thumbs-up sign.
"Ha!" Akio laughed at Utena and Anthy. "He says he and I are going to win! Nyah! Nyah!"
Utena muttered beneath her breath, "and you believe what a little monkey says? This will be easier than I thought!"
"What are you muttering!?" Akio demanded.
"I was saying that you are a loser and we'll beat you no matter what! Right Anthy?" Utena looked at Anthy who was glancing worriedly at Chu-chu.
"Utena-sama, Chu-chu is very determined. I'm afraid of what he might do to win. He has a highly competitive spirit and it sometimes causes him to block out his emotions."
"What are you saying Himemiya?"
"Yes," Akio smirked, "what are you saying? Are you saying you're afraid of some little monkey? Ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Akio pointed and laughed at them.
"Grrrrr…" Utena growled and clenched her fist. "No one makes fun of me!"
"He! He he he he he he!" Akio giggled loudly.
"ARGHHHH!" Utena screamed. "Do you know what this means, Mr. Chairman?"
"W-hhhhaaaahaht-t-t!" Akio said, his sides shaking with laughter.
Utena grabbed Anthy's hand and jabbed it into Akio's laughing face. "This means war!" She declared.
Akio stared at them. His expression was unreadable. Then he coughed. Then a smile broke out. Then he was laughing again, hysterically.
"Is there any way to shut him up?" Utena asked Himemiya.
Anthy's eyes narrowed. "I know a few." She said diabolically.
"Oh ho! Himemiya!" Utena said in surprise and pleasure. "Let's see what you got!"
"Hai," Anthy said and turned back to Akio.
