Chapter Six: A Shocking Betrayal
"Geeto! Opun!" Kaoru, Fei, Reiko, Megumi and Bancho said at the same time.
"Kaoru Throw!" Kaoru said as she took four invaders, two in each hand, and threw them as far she could. She turns around and starts running at God-like speed, knocking out the Invaders along the way.
"Genwa no Merodiii!" Reiko said and started to play her compact piano when it was shattered.
"Aree..?" she looked at Kageyama who has called on his Shadow gate amidst the confusion.
"Don't forget that I'm still here." Kageyama said, sneering.
Kaoru, Fei and Bancho were battling the invaders but Shun didn't even notice them. He looked at the broken pieces of Reiko's instrument, then at Kageyama's sneering face. His heart skipped a beat. He had hoped he could delay the confrontation with Kageyama for as long as he could but…. He gripped his wooden sword tightly and started to walk towards Kageyama.
"Let's decide this!" Ukiya said, his eyes narrowing in concentration.
"Don't underestimate me this time Ukiya kun. I'm far more powerful than I was before." He held his hand in front of him. "Shadow Edge!"
Two black blades erupted from Kageyama's hand.
"Vacuum Missile." He said and thrust the sword in front of him. He hit the first blade and evaded the second.
"What?" Kageyama wondered.
'I can't lose now.' Ukiya thought as he aimed for Kageyama 'I still don't know what's happening but I can't give up now. Rurippe is alive.' His aim was excellent. The wind pressure would hit no matter what Kageyama did to block it. Suddenly, he was thrown off by an unknown force.
"That hurt…" Ukiya said, opening his eyes. He saw Ruriko..er..Izuka walking towards him.
"You have been a mere play thing until now." She said putting her hand in front of her. "Now I see you are going to be a threat to my resurrection."
"Resurrection?" Ukiya asked.
Meanwhile, Megumi was just standing, watching them. She looked at Kageyama and against her will, the past events rolled in her mind over and over again.
"It's useless." Kaoru said, breathing heavily. Each time an invader turned into green crystals, they levitate and turn into invaders once again.
"I can't keep this up anymore!" Bancho said.
"Look Ukiya taishoo!" Fei said, pointing at Ukiya.
"No way!" Kaoru said, seeing Izuka aim at Ukiya.
Suddenly, a cold breeze passed through all of them. Megumi shivered involuntarily.
"Yameru…" Yukino appeared. "You can't die now." She looked at Ukiya. "She's waiting. She's sleeping. You have to wake her. You have to live. All of you."
"Open the gate of Ice and Snow…"Suddenly, all the invaders froze in ice and broke apart, and so did the crystals.
"Darn it," Kageyama said. "She's always interfering."
Izuka closed her eyes. "Let's go for now."
"but we have the upper hand…"
"I said, let's go!" Izuka cried out. A black shadow enveloped them both and they disappeared.
"Matte! Rurippe!!!!" Ukiya called out, but it was of no use. He stood up and looked Yukino. "It seems like we owe so much to you."
Yukino nods and with one "pikeeee" from Hisame, they disappeared.
Kaoru looked at Ukiya. "What's going on here?"
"I don't know…" Ukiya said, looking down at the yellow bow and putting it back in his pocket. "I really don't know."
@--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Why did we retreat?" Kageyama said.
Izuka kept quiet and put her hand on her chest. Her heart was beating quite fast.
'Darn that girl…she's fighting me, rejecting my soul, trying to push me away from her body.'. Izuka looked at Kageyama. He was starting to become annoying to work with.
"Kage kun. I thank you for all your help until now."
"What are you saying Izuka?"
Izuka's eyes turned evil again. "Do you think I'm naïve and gullible?" she started to laugh. " You were very helpful but you've outlived your welcome."
"What?" Kageyama took a step back, almost in fear.
"I have found her. I do not need you anymore." She aimed her hand in Kageyama's direction. A yellow gate materialized.
"It's been nice working with you." Her lips twisted into an evil smile.
@--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Who are you?" Ruriko looked at the girl who materialized out of nowhere. She has been wandering down, what looked like a dark oblivion when a girl who looked just like her except for silvery white hair appeared before her.
"I am yourself…" She said.
"What?" Ruriko asked. She shook her head. "Anyway, do you know how to get out of here?
"You can't…you won't….you don't want to…" the girl said ominously.
Ruriko's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"
"Look at this…" She held Ruriko's hand. Scenes rolled through Ruriko's head. She sees Kageyama attack Ukiya but Ukiya evades it. She sees herself aim at Ukiya and attack him. Ukiya fell back and she sees herself go towards him, aiming at him again.
"No way!" Ruriko said, "I couldn't…I wouldn't …" but as she doubts it, the scenes played out again. "Yamtete!" she said, putting her hands on either sides of her head and she fell to her knees.
"You can stay here." Izuka offered. " You can stay and dream and don't have to worry about anything. You don't have to explain anything." With that, she disappeared.
'I have to go back…' Ruriko thought. 'demo…' she laid down on the cool floor. 'It's so nice here…I don't want to leave…"
"Geeto! Opun!" Kaoru, Fei, Reiko, Megumi and Bancho said at the same time.
