Part 8: The Raid...
~Castle/*Front-Door*~
Haruka and the others stop about 15 feet from the door, using some large bushes as cover, so not to be seen. They whisper to keep the guards from hearing them.
"Two guards at the entrance." Makoto says, "I think we can handle them." she starts to just rush the two.
"Wait Makoto." Minako says, "There may be an easier way." Makoto stops. Mina looks at the two guards and adds, "Just as I thought, They're men."
"So?" Haruka asks, folding her arms, "What's your point?"
"Well, Men are all alike." Minako says, unfastening her shirt, "I'll show you the easy way to take care of these two." she finishes taking off her shirt, revealing her upper-body fully, "Watch."
Minako walks out from behind the bushes and whistles at the two guards. One of the guards looks and his eyes almost buldge. He pokes the other guard with his elbow.
"What is it?" the second guard asks.
"Look over there." the first one responds, pointing to the half-naked Minako, "Do you see what I see?"
The second guard looks and his jaw drops. Minako does a *come-here* gesture with her right index-finger.
"Let's go *introduce* ourselves." the second guard says and the other agrees.
The two guards start toward Minako, she turns her torso slightly, a couple centimeters, to each direction quickly... causing her breasts to bounce from side-to-side, then she giggles suggestively and ducks behind the bushes. Both guards run around behind the bushes a few moments after and see Minako standing there. They start toward her when suddenly Makoto shoves the blunt(non-bladed) end of her Spear into one's abdomen and, as he slumps forward, she hits him HARD in the side of the head with the metal shaft of the weapon, knocking him out. The other turns toward her but, he feels someone tap him on the shoulder and turns around, finding himself face-to-face with Haruka.
Haruka grabs the top of the guard's breastplate with her left hand and draws back her right fist, "Nap time." she says, then she knocks him unconscious with one punch and throws him down ontop of the other.
"Well, That was easy." Minako says, putting her shirt back on, "I told you two it would be. Now to find a way in."
The three walk up to the *door* and Haruka notices one of the boards isn't as strong as the others.
"Why not just *knock*?" she says, as she pulls her fist back and punches forward as hard as she can. The board breaks and she, and Makoto, remove it. The three head inside through the openning.
Meanwhile...
~Castle-Wall~
Rei reaches a wall that's about 12-ft high and a tree, even taller, near it. She walks between the tree and the wall(there's about 6- or 7-ft between the wall and the tree), and looks up at the height.
"......" Rei stays quiet.
She crouches down and pushes off, jumping toward the wall. Rei lands on the side of the wall(about 4-ft up) and rebounds off it(kick-jump), toward the tree(about 8-ft up). Rei *kick-jumps* off the tree and catches onto the top of the wall with both hands. She swings her whole body away from the wall and up. Rei releases the wall with her hands and finishes in a flip, landing on her feet on the catwalk, silently. The raven-haired woman quickly dashes toward the wall of the tower and flatens her back against it. She moves slowly along the wall until she notices two guards, guarding a door into the castle.
"......" Rei pulls out a Kunai Knife.
She throws the Kunai and it lodges in the side of the nearest guard's neck. "Uhhh..." he grabs his neck and falls down, dead.
"Wha--" the other guard starts to say upon turning to see the first guard but is cut off by a Shuriken, thrown by Rei, lodging in his forehead. He dies, instantly, Rei runs to the door and enters the castle.
~Mamoru's Throne-Room~
Mamoru raises his head and opens his eyes, 'She's here.' he thinks.
"Konesuke!" Mamoru says.
A Ninja emerges from the shadows and kneels, placing his right hand(clenched in a fist) on the left side of his chest, near his shoulder... the one that kidnapped Serena.
"Yes, Master?" Konesuke says.
"My sister is here." Mamoru replies, "I want you to go *welcome* her."
"Understood." the Ninja says, he vanishes in a puff of smoke.
Mamoru stands up, 'If you defeat Konesuke, sister.' he thinks '*I* will be waiting for you.' "hahahahaha!"
~*~*~
Minako, Haruka and Makoto make their way into another room but, then find themselves confronted by three Demons.
"Damn!" Makoto curses.
"Alright!" Haruka says, "Pay-back time!" she dashes toward one of them.
"Haruka, Wait!" Minako says but, Haruka continues toward the Demon and swings a punch at it.
The Demon blocks her swing and counters with an elbow to her stomach, knocking back toward the others. Haruka stands up, uninjured, and dusts herself off.
"I tried to warn you." Minako says, "These aren't imps, They're higher-rank monsters from the Demon-World."
"Okay. So, Maybe I should have *looked before I leaped*..." Haruka says, popping her knuckles, "Let's try that again."
~*~*~
Rei runs into a room and scans her eyes over it, slowly. She sees a door and goes with her gut feeling that it's the right choice. Rei starts running toward the door, only to be cut off by an arrow whizzing by her from a high position and embedding in the floor at her feet, she stops. Rei senses the presence of another Ninja and hears someone land, almost completely soundless, behind her... about 8 feet away.
Rei turns around and sees the Ninja that kidnapped Princess Serena... Konesuke. Konesuke raises his bow and draws an arrow back. He releases the arrow and it flies toward the raven-haired woman...

I know it's mean to end this chapter here but, everyone likes a good cliffhanger, right? Anyway, Be sure to check back next time to see Minako, Makoto and Haruka engage the Demon-trio, and see Rei doing battle with Konesuke(Ninja vs Ninja)! Til then.
