Volume 5: Episode 63: Love VS Avenge! Ichigo vs Kojan!
In the previous episode of DKR:
Kojan, after beating Judai's team other than Judai in a duel, now confronted both Kurosaki and Haruto who arrived to help the others. The Uchiha Dragon Knight had little choice but to fight them, clashing against the Substitute Shinigami but easily disposed of him with a Genjutsu. His real challenge is up against Haruto who transforms into Wizard. The Dragon Knight and Kamen Rider clash as Kojan used different elemental Jutsus to overpower him but Wizard went through the attacks, now changing into Hurricane Dragon form. Wizard counterattacked but the fight ended when Kurosaki returned into the fight with Kojan vanishing.
Now away from them, Kojan managed to reach Itachi and tried to talk him out of his decision but Itachi had already accepted his fate and apologized to Kojan for his suffering, vanishing as it was a clone Kojan was talking to. Kojan wasn't beaten yet as he ran to find the real Itachi quickly.
While Akumu was having fun with the show, he made it clear he would put down Kojan the moment he confronted his niece. However, before that happened, Dark General Knight informed him of a spy and it is Ulquiorra, observing as well. This pissed off the Dark Lord as this was Aizen's doing and left to deal with this, leaving Arkham to make sure Ichigo is away from the fighting. Evangeline, however, had other plans as she revealed the path for the lost Mew Ichigo towards the Uchiha Hideout for the purpose to see her fight Kojan out of her curiosity.
Leaving Houndour with Selvaria as he proceeded alone with his team dealing with Kisame, Sasuke approached the Uchiha Hideout until he was confronted by Mew Ichigo. Not wanting to stop him but also wanting him to realize his mistake, Ichigo offered to let him fight Itachi but at least questioned if this was all his intentions. Sasuke, half-doubting, accepted the offer. But just then Naruto appeared to also support Sasuke's decision. Even though Sasuke confirmed this was Naruto, it was Ichigo who revealed the fake Naruto as Kojan, having used the Transformation Technique. Planning to put anyone down from Itachi, Kojan prepared to fight Sasuke but Ichigo got in their way.
Giving him the chance, Sasuke left to confront Itachi while Ichigo and Kojan prepared to face off. Who will win in this dangerous fight?
What will happen next?
And now the conclusion... last left off in the previous episode:
Dark General Knight gazes coldly at Ulquiorra who just stands there in the air, not even looking or acknowledging the knight with an unemotional expression. The dark knight growls annoyed. Soon Akumu appears, standing on top of a tree branch, as he says firmly with his arms crossed. "You have some nerve to be spying on my lord when he is enjoying his game.''
Ulquiorra looks down at the black haired business human and with just a look; he can tell this man thinks above of everyone else.
''I see. The Dark Lord and Aizen-sama are very alike.'' The Arrancar theorizes which causes Akumu to widen his eyes and vanish. Ulquiorra then looks up and within that second Akumu has transformed into Dark Leader Dragon and floats in front of him with such a vicious gaze.
''Meat sack, you wish to die this soon.'' The Dark Lord questions him with such hatred in his voice. Ulquiorra just looks at him, almost bored yet he does sweat once, feeling the bottomless power this monster has.
''My lord, do you wish I kill him?'' Dark General Knight asks him but the Dark Lord simply responds. ''You should but first I wish to know why he is here? Spying?''
''No, observing. Orders from Aizen-sama.'' Ulquiorra replies calmly, explaining his orders as he then reveals. ''And also Aizen-sama wishes to speak to you.''
The Dark Lord growls softly, questioning him while containing his fury. ''Why the hell should I talk with him? If Aizen wants me, make a damn appointment.''
Ulquiorra glares, irritated by how he doesn't show respect to his leader… just like the Dragon Knight.
''Why do you, dragons, must mock Aizen-sama in such a way?'' The 4th Espada asks the black scaled dragon who just growls madder and calls him off. ''Beat it before I lose my patience. Or I'll burned you into a pile of meaty ashes.''
He then licks his lips and says grinning. ''And eat you up!''
Ulquiorra isn't afraid of him, simply replying. ''Aizen-sama has made it clear: I will not leave until you speak with him.''
The Dark Lord glares plenty pissed off. He breathes heavily, demanding him. ''Where is he then?''
''Aizen-sama will come soon.'' Ulquiorra simply says and that causes the black dragon to snap, suddenly thrusting his claw at him but his claw is pierced by a long, extending sword. It doesn't faze the Dark Lord, looking up ahead to see Gin floating behind Ulquiorra, saying with a smirk. ''Now-now lizard man. Can't you listen? Captain Aizen will see you soon.''
The Dark Lord glares as the blade pulls out from his claw as Gin then says with a sly, fox smirk. ''I suggest you wait.''
Dark Leader Dragon snaps and roars loudly. Gin hides behind Ulquiorra, teasing him how scary he is, even saying it. ''Woah oh~. Scary, aren't you?''
The dark dragon growls, not having a choice but to wait. Though, he does question mentally and pissed. ''What the hell does he want then? And where is he?''
Yugi manages to find Jonouchi's group and he's happy they're all okay… but it doesn't change that it was Kojan who beat them down like this.
''Sorry, everyone.'' Yugi apologizes, feeling responsible for everything. Jonouchi immediately protests, telling him. ''Nay Yugi, don't worry. That Kojan is just…''
He's stomping on what to say so Ruby finishes his line. ''He's pretty beastly.''
Jonouchi nods as does Naruto.
''Pathetic.'' Kaiba, however, protests such nonsense with his arms crossed. ''He's nothing more than an amateur.''
He then gazes at Yugi and tells him off and his ''bond'' with him. ''You, of all people who admire him, are just as pathetic. He doesn't even acknowledge you and if I did that, well, I wouldn't be even stronger than I am now.''
Jonouchi sweat drops about that but Kaiba isn't wrong either about him being stronger by acknowledging Yugi… in his own obsessive nature.
''Maybe…'' Yugi mutters out, not disagreeing that him admiring Kojan is wrong but he also does say with a small smirk. ''But I guess it's pathetic if I worry for all of my friends too, including you, Kaiba-kun.''
''… Shut up.'' Turning his back really pissed, Kaiba just responds. Yugi smiles, knowing well he's upset he referred to him as a friend. He then frowns concerned, telling the others. ''I'll find the others; you guys try to catch up to the rest.''
He tries to raise his right index and middle fingers over his forehead to reach the others but Jonouchi stops him, warning him. ''Yugi, don't overuse yourself. Trust me, Kojan is super tough!''
Yugi eyes him and smiles softly, realizing he's not wrong. This move drains him more than any other. He probably would do better if he knows the name.
''Good point.'' Yugi says as he will track the others calmly, proclaiming. ''Be back soon!''
He rushes off with Dragon Speed Burst. Ruby grins at Jonouchi, telling him. ''I see why Yugi admires you a lot!''
Jonouchi blushes red, rubbing the back of his head. Though he does smile, correcting her. ''Nay, I admire him more.''
Ruby blushes, wondering if people admire her too, like her friends. She knows Yang does and she does with her right back.
''I wonder if Weiss and Blake admire me too.'' Ruby questions, a little concerned since she's not well a good leader in a way. Jonouchi isn't worried as he tells her. ''I'm sure they do!''
''Yea good point! I just hope I can-'' Ruby begins to reply happily until Naruto, just thinking of what the heck Itachi did to him, suddenly widens his eyes as one of his clones poof away and he encounters Sasuke and he yells out. ''I SAW HIM!''
This surprises the small group with Kaiba glaring annoyed.
''Sasuke! He's-'' Naruto begins to explain in a panic, having seen him and he was so close! Immediately, the spiky blond head dashes off to both Jonouchi and Ruby's alarm, shouting at him. ''HEY WAIT!''
The two try to catch up with Kaiba following them by walking calmly.
Naruto speeds up across the forest in a hurry so much that he catches up to Ed's group who found the rest of the ninjas with Kiba catching a familiar scent. Ed even spots Naruto rushing towards them, saying. ''Oh hey, we found-''
Naruto dashes through everyone with Ed and Kiba shouting angrily. ''RUDE MUCH!''
''Naruto, hold up!'' Sakura, alarmed by his action, calls out to him. Naruto leaps towards the tallest trees, trying to tell them. ''I saw Sasuke! He's-''
''HELLO!'' Naruto blinks, turning in front of him and panics as Tobi suddenly appears in his path and waving hello.
''WAA!'' Naruto shouts in panic, falling back and splashing over a small river pond.
The group is also surprised as none of them, not even Kiba, Shion or Hinata detected him.
''Okay, who the hell is this new Akatsuki guy?'' Ed questions as he has no idea who he is other than his cloak. Jonouchi and Ruby arrive, panting heavily followed by Kaiba, looking up unimpressed by this orange masked man waving at the group.
''If he is another Akatsuki then-'' Yamato begins to say until Danny widens his eyes, realizing who he is. ''Hey wait…''
The group turns to face him as Ruby lifts her head to see the enemy and immediately gasps loudly. She dashes next to Danny, shaking his arm as she reminds him in shock. ''Danny, that's the guy from before!''
Danny nods, also surprised he's alive as he tells the others. ''He was working with the explosion guy. Guess he escaped the explosion. We thought he died with him.''
''Wait what?!'' Jonouchi and Usagi utter out in horror. Splashing water from where he crashed, Naruto stands up extremely pissed. He's so close to Sasuke that he won't let some masked guy stand in his way.
''STEP ASIDE!'' Naruto shouts, waving his arm furiously. He leaps at him but Tobi comes at him with a swift, stomping kick that launches him backwards.
''No can't do! I ain't leaving till I beat you all!'' Tobi proclaims playfully but Naruto smirks as he poofs into smoke. Tobi startles as Naruto's voice shouts. ''RASENGAN!''
He barely turns as Naruto, dashing downward, slams him from the back with a Rasengan… only to hit through him. Naruto barely realizes what even happens as he panics, nearly trips and falls as his attacks hits a tree branch and explodes.
''He dodged it!'' Ryan utters out amazed with Sonic pointing out. ''Pretty awesome!''
Sakura sweat drops, correcting him. ''Not that awesome.''
Kakashi glares calmly with his visible eye, informing the group. ''We can't advance until we defeat the enemy.''
Ed sighs, clapping his hands together.
''Good thing I'm the strategist for the job!'' Edward declares, going to use his smarts to beat this guy and advance forward. He's got to try.
Evangeline and Arkham watch from the magical screen the fight that's about to start between Mew Ichigo and Kojan. Arkham has been looking forward to seeing Ichigo's true strength that she's partly unleashed and now this is his chance to witness it.
''This might turn out messy.'' Arkham proclaims with a chuckle. Evangeline hums, also curious about that.
''Maybe…'' She says, agreeing with him but also says with a sly grin. ''But I must know what power Akumu's niece truly possesses.''
Arkham chuckles again, telling her most amazed. ''And here I thought I was the only one.''
Evangeline giggles, glad he thinks so. She looks back to the screen, her eyes fully fixated on this fight.
Evangeline isn't the only one observing the fight that's about to start. Cloaking himself in a black hood Reiatsu Concealing Cloak to hide his presence, Sosuke Aizen watches with a small grin across his face. He's been patient, ordering Ulquiorra to get caught and get Akumu to come out and it's working as he's hoped. Now he's watching what he's waiting for; observing Yugi's girlfriend and her hidden power.
''Now to see what she has deep in her, Ichigo Momomiya.'' Aizen tells himself mentally, looking forward to this.
Mew Ichigo gazes at Kojan, not thinking she would stand in his way but she can't let him do as he pleases.
''I won't ask you again.'' Kojan begins to say with a stern, cold voice before he yells in demand, his Sharingan eyes glowing viciously. ''STEP ASIDE!''
The cat girl gulps but she refuses to back down. She knows what she's doing is wrong, really wrong… but it's also the only way.
''Itachi is Sasuke-Baka's brother and Sasuke-Baka has every right to confront what he must do and learn the truth. The guy is stubborn and obsessed with revenge but…!'' Mew Ichigo tries to explain, gripping her hand to her chest. She's afraid she's wrong and Sasuke will end up killing his brother and what Itachi wanted but… but it's not fair in the slightest! She snaps out and proclaims, admitting her worries. ''Maybe… maybe if he listened to my advice, maybe both brothers would come out of this alive. And if I'm wrong… Then I tried Nya.''
Kojan just stares at her with a look of absolute shock. She's willingly to bet that those two will not kill each other and he knows Itachi is WILLINGLY to die for his brother. Kojan clenches his left fist tightly, uttering out furious. ''You really are as crazy as Yugi.''
Mew Ichigo just blinks and just smiles, taking it as a compliment. Not taking that well, Kojan vanishes and instantly appears in front of her, swinging an insanely fast kick but Mew Ichigo ducks in the last second.
Ichigo then swings her own kick but Kojan simply dodges aside in the last second, evading the attack. The two proceed to back away from the other as Ichigo yells at him. ''Yugi-kun would find another way! I'm not like Yugi-kun. All I can do is hope in what little kindness and love that is within Sasuke-Baka.''
She stares determinedly, declaring strongly. ''I will believe in that Nya!''
Kojan looks at her and just glares intensely.
''Uchiha…'' He begins uttering out as he shouts, releasing violent energy throughout his body. ''NEVER HAVE SUCH WEAKNESSES!''
He then dashes once more again and delivers a strong punch that Mew Ichigo barely blocks with her arm. His fist lands and it literally thrusts him backwards right onto a tree.
Her arm shaken; Mew Ichigo gulps deeply, shocked at how fast he is. Kojan breathes out of anger, proclaiming annoyed. ''That is the curse to us Uchiha, our love is a sin!''
She looks at him, his eyes filled with such hate, more than Sasuke's. She rubs her arm as Kojan yells at her. ''Move aside!''
Mew Ichigo stares at him, refusing to step aside. Scoffing, Kojan thinks of a better solution.
''In fact, sleep!'' Kojan orders as his Sharingan eyes glow as well as the tomoes spinning. Mew Ichigo panics as she falls under an instant Genjutsu but her eyes glow pink and immediately nullifies it with her body gaining a pink outline. This actually surprises Kojan that she did that.
''You resisted my Genjutsu?'' He questions, really surprised. Mew Ichigo blinks, not even sure what even happened but apparently she did. At least she didn't see a terrifying illusion like last time.
Kojan, however, oddly smirks before he frowns and charges up a Chidori on his left hand.
''Guess force will have to do.'' He proclaims as he comes, charging at the cat girl with lightning speed. Mew Ichigo reacts and slides to the right, dodging Kojan's attack. Through instinct, Ichigo shouts, gripping on her right arm with her right hand. ''RIBBON CHIDORI!''
She thrusts her arm as Kojan times it and throws his Chidori hand at her attack, the two clashing. Electricity flies around them rapidly as the two Chidoris try to push the other but Ichigo hisses, pushing forward. Kojan quickly tries swinging his other hand, now consumed in regular Raikiri but Mew Ichigo focuses as the pink electrical ribbons of her Ribbon Chidori intercepting Kojan's attack and literally wraps his hand in her attack. Kojan is startled as the ribbons shock him. He hisses trying to do something until he's suddenly lifted up by Mew Ichigo who spins him around and slams him away onto a tree.
Mew Ichigo sighs as her Ribbon Chidori vanishes. Kojan scoffs angrily, getting off the tree he crashed on. He brushes off dirt on his clothes twice before he declares, rather impressed. ''As expected, your attack is much stronger than these.''
He then holds his right arm forward, forming a Dragonaun Raikiri in his right hand.
''Now I don't have to hold myself back.'' Kojan declares strongly, not going to hold his punches. Mew Ichigo glares, forming another Ribbon Chidori in her right arm as she dashes at him. Kojan smirks, coming at her too. The two dash around the other, thrusting and clashing their lightning attacks. The two groan as they pull away and start swing-thrusting their attacks, clashing over and over. Blue and pink lightning hits around them, piercing everything around them.
The two glare as Kojan tries to attack faster but Ichigo responds by either evading or repelling with her Ribbon Chidori. This goes on for a few minutes before the two thrust their attacks once more and this last clash creates an electrical explosion, blasting the two away.
Mew Ichigo breathes deeply, not expecting Kojan to be that fast. The part that does upset her is that he knows that technique; something only Kakashi would know and as much as she begged, he refused to teach her the Raikiri.
''How do you even have that technique Nya! Not even Kakashi-san taught me that!'' Mew Ichigo demands angrily. Kojan looks at her and smirks, simply telling her. ''I borrowed it.''
She groans really angry at that, really jealous as she complains. ''No fair Nya! This is like a crime or something Nya!''
''…'' Silent by her complaining, Kojan just looks at her confused. He snaps out and comes at her again.
Seeing this coming, Mew Ichigo shouts, holding her right arm forward. ''RIBBON CHIDORI YARN KNOT!''
She releases another Ribbon Chidori, now extending its ribbons and multiplying them. Reaching and unsheathing his Dragon Sword, Kojan shouts loudly. ''RAIKIRI SLASH!''
His Dragon Sword is immediately consumed in electricity and then he proceeds to swing his sword with insane rapid swings, slashing down the electrical ribbons as he still comes closer to her. Mew Ichigo watches as Kojan is in range, swinging his sword at her but she suddenly moves so fast around him, appearing from behind.
Mew Ichigo forms another Ribbon Chidori and thrusts it as her body turns clockwise. Kojan twirls in response, counter clockwise, as he forms another Dragonaun Raikiri.
"RIBBON CHIDORI! / DRAGONAUN RAIKIRI!'' The two shouts and their attacks clash once more. Their attacks release another electrical explosion, pushing the two away from the other.
Mew Ichigo pants heavily, discharge of electricity still in her right hand. She's really shocked how strong Kojan is. It's terrifying that with these few clashes; she knows he's extremely powerful.
Kojan stares at her and he's impressed. When he was training to master the Raikiri, he realized the power of the technique is also a weakness due to the small tunnel vision it has. However, with his Sharingan eyes, he can make that weakness become an advantage. So for her, it must be her cat abilities. Even someone like Kakashi would have never taught her such a dangerous Jutsu that would backfire on her. Instead, he taught her it since her cat eyesight would be below the Sharingan's own but still good enough to use the technique effectively.
Chuckling a bit, Kojan says in a taunt. ''To think someone like the Copy Ninja taught you his technique.''
Mew Ichigo glares madly at that comment as if he's mocking him and her. She shakes her head, protesting loudly. ''You're wrong Nya! The Chidori is the sword meant to protect one's bonds. So my Ribbon Chidori is the sword that will protect my bonds and love Nya!''
''… Cute.'' Kojan just says uncaring as he then says, pointing at both of his Sharingan eyes with his left index and middle fingers. ''But meaningless compare to my powers.''
The cat girl doesn't care; she isn't afraid by his eyes or his powers. She made a promise to Yugi and to herself; she won't lose to someone like him.
''I won't give up…'' Ichigo begins telling herself, clenching her fists as she takes on a serious pose. ''I won't lose to him. I won't!''
Will Ichigo have the strength to clash against Kojan?
Commercial Break:
Mew Ichigo: I am not giving up Nya! I promise Yugi-kun so I will not lose!
Kojan: Promise him huh? Don't keep promises you can't keep.
Yugi runs in a hurry, searching for Judai's group but pauses as he feels multiple fixed auras around him. He shakes those senses off, needing to pinpoint the group he's looking for, then he'll bring them to the others and hopefully Ichigo is with them.
"Please be with them.'' Yugi says, feeling Ichigo's aura and it's fighting but so is nearly everyone else. Hopefully they'll be okay till he reaches them.
Sparks fly across the area, leading to the open ruins to the forest. Mew Ichigo and Kojan are dashing around the area with quick, almost unseen speed. Kojan swings his Dragon Sword while Mew Ichigo blocks and parries his swings with her Strawberry Bell.
He scoffs, pulling out a Fuma Shuriken through a scroll and throws it. She doesn't bother dodging it, forming her pink barrier as the giant shuriken hits and shatters into sharp blades, wrapping around her barrier and each blade is connected to thin wires, connecting to Kojan.
Kojan smirks, releasing electricity through the wires across the barrier but Mew Ichigo easily repels the wires, snapping them off through her barrier. Kojan scoffs as he charges and proceeds to slash the barrier over and over but it refuses to budge.
''Annoying…'' Kojan complains mentally as he swings again but this time activates his Mangekyou Sharingan. The barrier begins to twist around to Mew Ichigo's terror till it splits up to give him the opening with his sword swing. Acting on impulse, Mew Ichigo pounces from the tip of her boots and tackles Kojan to his shock. He's pushed backwards as the cat girl somersaults and distances herself from him, panting. It was too close; she was nearly cut in half.
''He's strong…'' Ichigo tells herself mentally, standing back up as she turns to see Kojan pulling himself back on his feet.''He's really strong and quick Nya.''
Kojan brushes off the dirt on his clothes, turning to gaze at her. He wasn't expecting that maneuver but that just means he can't underestimate her.
''Not bad but now I'm not holding any punches.'' Kojan announces as he holds up his Dragon Sword forward. Mew Ichigo glares as she moves her free hand over her Mew Pendant.
''Rising Limit!'' Kojan utters out as bolts of electricity fly out from his sword.
''Mew Mew Strawberry!'' Mew Ichigo begins to chant as her body is consumed in bright pink light. ''EVOLUTION NYA!''
She fully transforms into her Evolution form while Kojan now wields the Dragon Rakurai. The two dash around, moving in quick speed as Kojan tries swinging his sword around but Mew Ichigo dodges around his swings before swinging a strong kick. Kojan flips away and then comes charging only for Mew Ichigo to dash right at him while performing Secret Technique: Cat Claw-Pounce. She pounces with such speed, appearing right in front of Kojan. He staggers as Mew Ichigo swings a claw swipe but his Sharingan eyes turn for a brief few seconds into its Mangekyou Sharingan form. The claw swipe begins to pull back with Ichigo just barely realizing it, completely missing Kojan's face as he then knee-kicks her across her stomach. The cat girl gags up as she's pushed backwards, slammed right into a tree.
Kojan breathes calmly, shocked that she's this fast to keep up with his Rising Limit, likely to be faster than him.
''I see fighting alongside Yugi has helped you keep up with a Dragon Knight's speed.'' Kojan says, somewhat praising her. However, he then declares with a serious face. ''But the difference between and I is that I don't spar!''
He comes at the injured cat girl, moving like lightning as he appears in front of her and swings his sword at her. It connects but only cuts through the tree she crashed in. Kojan widens his eyes, turning to see Mew Ichigo behind him and swinging an electrical punch. Kojan sees it coming and flickers his index finger.
Suddenly, Mew Ichigo's punch is pulled back as well as her body, realizing her body is wrapped up in wire. She startles, questioning when he pulls this off. Kojan forms hand seals and then unleashes Raikiri Shockwave through the wires that are wrapped in his hands. However, the Mew Mew responds, unleashing Ribbon Chidori Current through the wires. The two electrical attacks clash through the wire, pushing the other back to overtake the electricity. Kojan grunts as he forms other hand seals but as he does Mew Ichigo focuses and her body releases a burst of magical energy, breaking free from the wire which snaps into pieces.
Forming her own hand seals, Mew Ichigo shouts as she exhales forward. ''FIRE RELEASE: GREAT STRAWBERRY FIREBALL TECHNIQUE!''
She releases not a regular massive fireball but a massive pinkish fireball in the shape of a strawberry. Kojan staggers back and literally leaps away but the firewall seeks him out to his shock.
''Amateur!'' He shouts, not going to lose to a ridiculous technique as he then proclaims, exhaling from his mouth. ''FIRE RELEASE: GREAT FIRE ANNIHILATION!''
He releases a massive wave of flames upon Ichigo's fireball to her horror. ''NYA!''
Her fireball is consumed by Kojan's enlarging flames but before they can consume her, the pink fireball explodes within the flames and blows the tidal of flames away. Mew Ichigo smiles of relief though sweats of terror that it was way too close for comfortable.
Kojan somersaults swiftly and lands on a tree branch, looking down at her.
''You just don't quit.'' Kojan comments, smirking at her. Mew Ichigo glares, asking him madly. ''Let's stop right now Nya!''
Kojan raises an eyebrow as the cat girl pleads to his good sided nature. ''We both know this is pointless and you wouldn't want to kill me Nya.''
Scoffing at her pleading, Kojan responds coldly with a scowl-mouth expression. ''And what makes you think I won't kill you?''
Mew Ichigo doesn't buy his evil reply, having seen him many times he's fought and the times up till now were him helping the group or Yugi, even if he did or didn't want to.
''If you wanted to kill anyone in your way…'' Mew Ichigo begins to say as she stares down at Kojan determinedly and calls him out. ''You would have done it long ago Nya! And you would have done it before this mess too Nya!''
Kojan just glares at her, no respond to her demands. Mew Ichigo smiles as she tells him, sounding hopeful. ''You're not tainted by this curse Nya! You just want to fill the despair in your heart with something warm and bright.''
She soon frowns, reminded by her past failures and especially the one against Mew Blackberry that tormented her very core. If not for the friends in her life, she might have fallen into despair like Haruto told her and she would cease to exist.
''I should know… I know the pain of feeling worthless and hurt.'' Ichigo then expresses sadly, having experiencing such a thing many times and can only imagine he too-
''… You don't understand my grief.'' Mew Ichigo snaps out, blinking her eyes as she stares at Kojan. She stares to see him frowning angrily, clenching his left hand across the chest of his outfit over his heart, squeezing the fabric with such fury. Kojan can't even look at her straight out of his fury.
''This pain in here is a damn hole that used to be my heart!'' Kojan begins to express, seeing flashes of a dead body and a younger Kojan screaming as he cries. Just remembering that day was when his childhood and any meaning in living died and was replaced with hate, so much of it.
''It isn't just the feeling of worthless but failing and causing the death of the one you were trying to protect.'' Kojan begins to proclaim, gazing at Ichigo and only seeing a fool willingly to throw the life of others because of her stupid believes. ''You're just a naïve girl that thinks love will make things better!''
Frowning, Mew Ichigo questions him, annoyed by his mystery. ''Then help me understand why?! Why are you like this Nya!''
''… I don't have to if Yugi sees your dead body.'' Kojan responds with a dark gaze, almost murderous than previously. Mew Ichigo actually quakes, shivering to see that emptiness in Kojan's eyes. Is he that determined to his goals even if he has to kill? Is he really-
But before she can finish the words in her mind, Kojan appears in front of her and swings his sword at her. Ichigo barely responds, leaning back and dodges the sword nearly touching her face by lowering it back. She backflips towards him but Kojan dodges the kick and grabs them, spinning her around and tosses her away. Mew Ichigo spins around in midair and perfectly lands on the ground.
She hisses mad before she comes at him. The two resume clashing as Mew Ichigo dodges around Kojan's even swiffer sword swings while also blocking them with her rematerialized Strawberry Bell.
''I doubt you'll kill this kitty cat Nya!'' She taunts him, knowing it's a bluff but she has to try. Kojan, obviously, doesn't buy her taunt and shoots multiple fireballs from his mouth and mixes them with a dozen Shurikens. The cat girl simply puts her pink barrier, blocking it before she drops her barrier to Kojan's surprise and the Mew Mew swings her boot towards his crotch.
Kojan becomes alarmed like his little guy is in grieve danger and he dashes away immediately. He pants, thinking his wiener was a goner.
''How about we talk about this over a movie? Maybe Moulin Rouge?'' Mew Ichigo suggests, giggling nervously. Kojan stands there with a pissed off expression, grunting, before he asks her nicely and struggling his tone into something more pleasant than enraging. ''… I won't kill you if you never say that stupid name again.''
''… Nya? But that movie is pretty good.'' The cat girl, dumbfounded, expresses as her eyes blink. Groaning madder, Kojan shouts out of fury. ''Screw this! I'll just beat you and knock you out in a bloody mess!''
He dashes and once more Mew Ichigo's barrier wraps around and opens up. This time though, Mew Ichigo leaps upward and tosses her Strawberry Bell like a Frisbee, performing the Secret Technique: Cat-Amuser. It comes at Kojan as Ichigo predicts he'll either dodge it and her weapon will make a u-turn to hit him by the back of the head or she'll manually control it with the thin electrical ribbon attached to it.
However, Kojan just stares at the spinning bell and it cracks and splits open, crashing onto the ground. Mew Ichigo widens her eyes as she lands on the ground, staring at her destroyed Strawberry Bell as they turn into sparks of light.
''What was that just now?'' Ichigo questions mentally, not even sure what happened. Seeing his chance, Kojan shouts as he charges forward. ''RAIKIRI BLADE!''
His Dragon Rakurai engulfs in electricity. Mew Ichigo panics as she then remembers something. She quickly pulls out the Kunai that Naruto failed to use against Kabuto as she ignites it in electricity.
''RIBBON CHIDORI BLADE!'' Mew Ichigo shouts as she swings the kunai and clashes with Kojan's sword. Lightning flies out, clashing each other as they parry and strike the other with such precision. The Uchiha is shocked how she's able to keep up with him, a Dragon Knight no less. Mew Ichigo smirks, once more thanking Yugi for helping her wield his sword as practice.
Kojan scoffs angrily, not expecting she would be able to swing a sword like that. He even comes moving around her with swift sword swings but Mew Ichigo dodges his swings and can still parry them. This is getting under Kojan's nerves.
''Can we just talk, Nya?! I-'' Mew Ichigo tries reasoning with him but Kojan immediately protests. ''No.''
He swings even fast but Mew Ichigo parries it… until she widens her eyes that his sword is cutting right through the kunai. Mew Ichigo quickly swung an upward kick across Kojan's bottom chin, connecting before he could see it coming. He gags up, not seeing that, as he's launched upward.
The Mew Mew breathes, tossing aside the damage Kunai. She then jumps up high over Kojan who lands on the ground and she comes diving down with her right leg over her head, performing the Secret Technique: Cat Drop Kick towards him, mainly his crotch.
Kojan, panicking again like a man's sense of warning, looks up and his eyes widen and glow. Mew Ichigo's kick drops downward at him but her body suddenly moves on its own, almost forceful and her boot hits just away from Kojan next to him as the ground erupts and explodes.
Mew Ichigo is horrified as Kojan leaps away from the shattered ground with an expression of terror, thinking THAT time his wiener was a goner. He sighs of relief, only imagining how the impact of that kick would have damaged him both external and internal.
''How did my kick missed Nya?'' She questions mentally again, not understanding how Kojan did that. And this isn't the last time he's done this already… and it slowly hits her. It must be a technique but she needs to confirm it.
Leaping out from the shattered ground, Mew Ichigo manifests her repaired Strawberry Bell and fires a Ribbon Strawberry Surprise right at him. Kojan just stands his ground as his eyes glow and the magical blast suddenly dissolves and blasts away from him, only hitting him with a small gust.
Mew Ichigo watches that as she lands in his view. Again, her attack is changed and she's realizing this could be.
''Could it be that he can redirect attacks Nya?!'' Mew Ichigo questions in dismay, no doubt about it… but just to be sure…
Mew Ichigo raises his right hand and unleashes Ribbon Chidori Sharp Spear, shooting upward with such speed towards Kojan but his eyes once more turn into the Mangekyou Sharingan. The tomoes spin rapidly and in that moment, the extending electrical spear twists apart and splits into hundreds of pieces that fly around Kojan and strikes the ground behind him.
The cat girl gulps, not believing it but this is true.
''I knew it Nya.'' She utters out. Kojan oddly smirks, having played this game since she unleashed that pink energy blast.
''Oh, you noticed?'' Kojan asks her with a smug smirk. Mew Ichigo glares as the Uchiha then reveals to her. ''What you witness was my Mangekyou Sharingan ability.''
''… Your eyes are a kaleidoscope! HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO SEE NYA?!'' Mew Ichigo suddenly screams out in disbelief and shock. She's already imagining that Kojan sees everything in multiple shapes and colors.
''…'' Kojan just stares at her with a stare, thinking that she's crazy.
Mew Ichigo then blinks at the ability part and questions him. ''Wait, an ability? Those eyes have other abilities Nya?!''
''All Mangekyou Sharingans have a unique set of abilities. A max of 3… sort of.'' Scoffing at her simple-minded thinking, Kojan tells her though mutters the last part. He then reveals with a smirk. ''One of the two I wield is called Yahata no Kami.''
The cat girl blinks, remembering that name from folklore that her History teacher was telling the class but also from his father who's into deity gods
''Isn't that name based on the God of War?'' She asks him with Kojan playing dumb and replying. ''Is it? Didn't notice.''
He then says with a gaze. ''But other than its name, I don't plan to tell you any of its abilities.''
Mew Ichigo hisses madly but at the least she can compare his ability to be to that Pain's ability but different.
''I don't care! I won't lose give up Nya!'' Mew Ichigo declares, holding her Strawberry Rose Bell forward and unleashes another Ribbon Strawberry Surprise right at him. However, Kojan just stares at the attack as it dissolves, blasting in all directions but him.
The cat girl hisses as she moves around swiftly, appearing in multiple spots as she uses Ribbon Chidori Yarn Knot to wrap him up in her electrical ribbons but then they are immediately torn apart by the simple gaze of Kojan's eyes in front of him as he spins around and slashes the rest.
This worries the cat girl, telling herself mentally. ''How am I supposed to hit him?''
She tries to keep moving but Kojan appears in front of her and swings a sword slash that Ichigo blocks with her barrier but he just releases a Dragonaun Raigeki up close and explodes. Mew Ichigo screams as her barrier barely holds on as she crashes through multiple trees before stopping on a large boulder, smashed through it.
Grunting, Mew Ichigo drops her barrier as she breathes in pain. She feels like none of her attacks will scratch him in whatever she tries. Her legs quake, her arms shake; feeling helpless like she did up against Blackberry. Is there anything she can-
''That's why I believe in you!'' Immediately, Ichigo snaps out as she remembers the last words Yugi told her. Blushing at those words, the trust Yugi has in her and she has vice-versa; she can't break down. She promised him she won't and she will not. And he isn't the only one, thinking of the others in Team Dragon Knight and her Mew Mews. She can't give up when they're all counting on her.
''No, you can do this Ichigo. Remember what Yugi taught you. Focus Nya!'' Mew Ichigo tells herself, becoming calmer as she thinks. Like Yugi told her, there is always a way out of a situation but one needs to think closely about what that is.
Kojan's technique repels, re-positions and reshapes anything he sees. Though, it seems he can't do a lot of all three on other things like reshaping a leg or pushing back attacks. Yea! Then there must be limits to what Kojan can do to attacks and how he views them… views…
She soon realizes it, thinking that's the weakness to his technique.
Watching enough, Kojan comes at her with a swing but Mew Ichigo immediately enters Ribbon Lightning Armor form, vanishing in the speed of light. Kojan staggers as his eyes narrow to the right as the catgirl appears with a claw swipe. His Mangekyou Sharingan eyes spin but as they do, Ichigo vanishes and instead appears to the left and swings a massive kick, hitting a stun Kojan across the face and sending him flying into multiple trees.
Ichigo actually giggles, realizing what happened. Kojan's ability only works if he looks at his target. He can't use it if he can't see the attack coming.
Now filled with confidence, Mew Ichigo declares proudly. ''Let's finished this Nya!''
She dashes with such speed to Kojan who is just standing up from the kick and tries to keep up with her movement only for her to kick him from behind, launching him into the sky. She leaps upward and literally kicks Kojan even higher before appearing above him to punch him downward and keeps doing it in different directions like ping-pong. She then kicks him straight as she holds her Strawberry Rose Bell, glowing brightly as sparks of electricity course through the weapon.
''RIBBON CHIDORI STRAWBERRY SURPRISE!'' Mew Ichigo shouts as she unleashes her combination magical electrical blast, consuming Kojan from his back instantly and explodes on impact. She descends as Kojan's body crashes onto the ground hard within the forest.
''SIGH… SIGH… SIGH…'' Mew Ichigo breathes heavily, her body sweating and slightly drained. Her Thunder Armor Mode vanishes off her body. She might have overdone it with those attacks but at the least he can't hurt anyone ls now.
''Sorry…'' The Mew Mew apologizes softly from between her lips, not wanting to win like that. She sighs as she then says with relief in her voice. ''At least, it's over.''
She walks away weakly, needing to find Yugi and the others. Hopefully by the time she finds them, Kojan will still be knocked-
''Over?'' Stopping on her tracks, Mew Ichigo widens her eyes as she hears his voice and soon an eruption of energy follows behind her. She turns around to see a large figure manifesting: a lighter black tone colored skeleton surrounded in black energy and piercing yellow, vermilion red pupil glowing eyes.
Ichigo widens her eyes in horror as within this creature, walking slowly, is Kojan. He's partly to not even damage but nothing critical. Lifting his head up as his Mangekyou Sharingan eyes glow ominous, Kojan proclaims, serious. ''Under whose terms is this over?!''
The Mew Mew sweats, gulping as she remembers a similar entity like this that Itachi used before.
''I-It's like from before!'' Ichigo utters out. Kojan hears that and smirks as he says. ''So this isn't your first time confronting with this form.''
The cat girl gulps, nodding, as Kojan then reveals to her with a dark smirk. ''This is the true power of the Mangekyou Sharingan. Its third ability: the Susanoo!''
''… Great…'' Mew Ichigo mutters out, really not liking this. Well at the least it's just a skel-
Suddenly black flesh begins covering the skeleton, resembling more demonic-like humanoid resembling an undead bird creature. It also resembles a bird-like with feather-like robes. It manifests a lance-like weapon made out of the same energy.
'The cat girl immediately makes a paralyzed, horrified expression that this thing can just do that. It's not even fair.
The Susanoo twirls the energy lance and thrusts it towards her. She pounces away just barely but the humanoid swings it fast at her in the air but she reenters Thunder Armor Mode and vanishes instantly. Kojan scans around him as Mew Ichigo gets to his back and swings a kick only for the chakra-like armor to block her leg to her shock. Kojan turns and swings his sword but the cat girl swiftly vanishes. Kojan looks around as he tells her off. ''You can't beat me. The Susanoo is both the strongest defense and offense.''
Mew Ichigo dashes around, needing to figure something out how to-
''SUSANOO: TSUKUMO!'' Clapping his hands, Kojan shouts as the Susanoo rips open its humanoid body to reveal its energy ribcages, exposing its chest as it then launches a barrage of vermillion red colored chakra needles. They shoot outward in incredible speed all over in front of it as it twirls its body around. The Mew Mew moves around rapidly, away from the needles but Kojan still turns around as he is still firing the needles.
She groans, not able to keep this up as she leaps up over him. She then unleashes another Ribbon Chidori Strawberry Surprise but the magical, electrical blast hits the energy being, consuming it. Mew Ichigo watches to slowly widen her eyes to see a katana sword swing cut through her attack and coming right at her. She barely dodges to her side as the Susanoo emerges from the attack, unscratched as well as Kojan, standing there with his left hand in his pocket. But what's worse is the humanoid now gains armor resembling a Phoenix as well as Buddhist monk clothing, even with a pair of Tengu bird-like wings on its back with red glowing feather tips.
''I'll show you the true power of the Susanoo and why you can't ever win!'' Kojan declares as the free hand of his Susanoo to form Shuriken-like energy projectiles, each one pinning rapidly.
''YASAKA MAGATAMA!'' Kojan shouts as his Susanoo throws the projectiles, launching them with insane speed. Mew Ichigo still dodges them but unaware as the projectiles hit the tree or ground and results in each one exploding. The cat girl screams, the explosions consuming and hitting her with such force that it sends her flying into multiple trees again.
Kojan smirks as he walks towards her. He hums, twirling his Dragon Rakurai while Mew Ichigo, grunting in such pain as her outfit is torn up badly and bleeding partly on most of her body. She gasps in such agony, her vision blurry and yet she tries to stand right back up.
Kojan sees this and scoffs, telling her firmly. ''Give up already.''
Hissing at those words, Mew Ichigo lifts herself up and proclaims passionately, her words struggling but still strong. ''I-I don't… care! I-I… I won't give up Nya! I will not give up on anyone Nya!''
"..." Silent, Kojan just sighs as Mew Ichigo charges forward, her right arm thrust backwards as she forms a Ribbon Chidori at the black armored avatar. She then thrusts her arm forward as her attack hits the aura shield of the Susanoo, trying to pierce through it. Kojan watches with such disbelief that this woman truly believes she can beat him. Maybe… when he was naïve, he would think she was something else but right now; she's a fool.
''I told you…'' Kojan begins uttering out before he shouts enraged. ''IT'S MEANINGLESS!''
The left Susanoo arm swipes the cat girl instantly, causing Mew Ichigo to scream as she hits the ground but twirls around, grinding her hands and feet on the ground on all fours. Moving his Dragon Rakurai to the side, Kojan declares as his Susanoo mimics his movement with its Chakra katana. ''SUSANOO: DRAGONAUN RAIGEKI!''
Kojan swings as does his Susanoo in sync, both weapons firing an electrical dragon as they unite and become a giant electrical serpent dragon. It roars as it immediately flies right at the stun Mew Ichigo and consumes her. She forms her barrier but the electrical dragon rams right through it.
''AAAWWW!'' Ichigo screams in horrible pain, the electricity coursing through her and soon dissolves. Kojan watches as the Mew Mew, her clothes even more burned and damaged with a paralyzed expression, drops onto her knees and falls face forward onto ground.
Kojan continues staring before he scoffs. His Susanoo vanishes as he utters out. ''I told you it was meaningless.''
He turns his back as Kojan looks down rather sad, not wanting this but he was taught that the strong, the ones able to make the right choices should always win.
''I don't blame you for trying…'' He mutters out though says with a firm determination. ''But only the strong win.''
He prepares to walk away as Ichigo is left in an unconscious state.
Drifting in a voided darkness; Ichigo can't feel anything as her mind feels heavy and unfocused, floating there in place. She failed; she couldn't even stop Kojan.
''Is there anything I can do?'' Ichigo asks herself, seemingly falling in a world of empty darkness.
She finds herself back in that hole where she lost to Mew Blackberry; powerless to do anything as someone who is counting on her. She almost feels this dread of despair welcoming itself in her heart again, almost making her want to cry. She shouldn't accept this haunt her soul but she doesn't… she doesn't want to fall again.
''I… I don't want to lose…'' She tells her mentally, drifting lower and lower to the emptiness of the void. Her thoughts become darker and empty with the only thing she can still focus on is Yugi smiling at her, believing in her.
''I don't want to fail Yugi-kun again.'' Ichigo tells herself as her sadden face drips tears from her eyes. ''I-I just don't-''
The depressed heroine isn't sure how to feel as she feels the emptiness of despair. Guess… she isn't strong to protect or be of help. This is her limit, this is-
Her thoughts are immediately interrupted by a familiar, faint giggle.
''I find it amazing you're willingly to keep fighting when clearly there is a way you can win.'' A voice speaks as a figure moves behind Ichigo on all fours.
''…'' The cat girl makes no reply, trying her best to ignore the voice. The voice just giggles and taunts her playfully. ''You wish to beat him. Then I can give you the power to do it.''
Ichigo frowns more, not wanting to listen to her but… but… should she listen to her? Should she? Maybe this voice is just-
''And no, I am not a fabric of your imagination.''The voice suddenly speaks up, almost reading her mind as she giggles again. ''I simply wish to help you, Ichigo. Nothing else. So… shall I help you?''
Ichigo feels herself drifting further and further into the darkness, afraid to go back to that place that she was in… that place she felt alone as a child. She doesn't… she doesn't want that.
''… H-Help me.'' Pleading to be saved from this, Ichigo utters in her mind for help. The voice reads her and giggles as the figure keeps moving around her.
''That's more like it~.'' The voice responds, almost gleaming to hear that. The figure surrounds Ichigo closer as the cat girl questions her, puzzled. "Who are you Nya?''
Giggling at her question, the voice answers her smoothly. ''Who am I? It's rather hard to explain it…''
Through the darkness, a pair of slitted pink feline eyes reveals themselves, glowing ominously before answering her. ''But I am the same kind of being as that scorpion.''
Ichigo sees the pair as the large creature, resembling a black, pink striped tiger cuddles her close. The cat girl blushes, feeling the warm fur of the creature. It leaves a sense of comfort, making her feel so happy like the empty coldness of the darkness was amazing.
''Just call me your Inner Tiger, my poor Ichigo~.'' The tiger speaks, trying to grin as her body glows. Ichigo purrs happily before she forms a smirk as her eyes change to be similar to the tiger's eyes.
As Kojan walks, he stops immediately as he senses something overwhelming like a pressure belonging to someone unnatural.
''What the hell am I just-'' Kojan begins questions but his words stagger back, feeling something. He turns around and staggers with widened eyes to see Mew Ichigo already up her feet but her head is lowered down. He sighs, not believing this annoyance as he begins saying. ''You just don't know when-''
''Sorry…'' Kojan hums with a raised eyebrow because of Ichigo's words. He stares as the cat girl then utters out, lifting her head to show her closed eyes, slowly opening them to be the dark pink slitted, glowing pink eyes as she grins viciously. ''Right now I can't afford to lose you Nya~.''
Kojan actually widens his eyes as the Mew Mew gasps and starts to cry out, almost mimicking the roar of a tiger. ''RAAARRRRR!''
As she roars, a burst of dark pink energy wraps around her and takes the form of a tiger, consuming the area in her pressure.
What is happening to Ichigo and will this beat Kojan?
To be continued…
(ENDING 4: Omae Dattanda by Kishidan from Naruto Shippuden)
Thank you for another great episode. I thank those who are helping me get this story noticed and enjoy it. For those who love it, please review my story and give me your opinions or thoughts on it.
Next Time…
Our heroes and their Shinobi allies are still engaging against Tobi with little success until Yugi and the others arrive to uncover the means to beat him. Meanwhile, Kojan is staggered as Mew Ichigo transforms into something shocking.
Ed pants as he's tried everything he can think of but nothing: DAMN IT!
Sailor Moon: We just gotta keep fighting on!
Ruby: YEA!
Just then the area is consumed by a strong vibration, surprising everyone.
Danny: W-what was that?
Sonic: Feels like a beast, I should know.
Naruto sweats: If this is Sasuke in trouble, then we can't waste time!
DragonKnight15: Well no… but it is something worse. Will Kojan overpowered the odds against an Ichigo consumed by her dark power. Next time in Yu-Gi-Oh! Dragon Knight Reborn: A Failed Promise! Sadistic Love vs Dreadful Power!
Ruby: Um… Please remember to read, enjoy and review. See you all next time… I hope Ichigo is okay.
Author's Note: It's funny how Arkham, Evangeline and even Aizen have similar interest in those with power and it's Ichigo due to the surprise of this chapter.
I really wanted this fight to be special since, well you guys know, but DKR Mew Ichigo is really stronger than her canon self (and reboot self like a composite character) and for her to go up against someone as skilled and dangerous like Kojan says much that she needs to be on her feet against him. So I hope I made the fight scene as good and crazy as they should be. Really hope so because I worked hard on it even though I had little time to do more. SIGH. Life sucks. Well let me know.
Also showing off Kojan's Mangekyou Sharingan abilities, at least two of them. The obvious Susanoo and one of the eye abilities, Yahata no Kami, which reflects Kojan's character and what you guys will learn of that tragedy that turns him so bitter; he just hates reality or well the reality he views but unlike other Uchiha, could he be saved?
And of course Obito is in the way, why wouldn't he be? More fellow Uchiha pawns, no?
Next time we see how sadistic Ichigo can be with her unknown power fully revealed and what a taste of Kojan's true power is?! See you then!
Also last week was my Birthday, it was okay. Also sorry for the late reply, a lot happened all at once.
