"Shit...what's wrong with me..." Tasuki cursed, stumbling and falling
onto the ground. Ashitare passed him by, and picked him up by the
back of his coat. He began walking again, carrying Tasuki along.
"You've been Bochu'd." Soi said, matter-of-fact. Tasuki's eyes w
idened as Nuriko, Chiriko and Miboshi snickered. Miaka, Yui and
Taka's faces whited out slowly. He went into a scowl.
"Why that dirty little-" he stopped himself, and glanced at the ground
moving below him. If it helped her become Taits-kun...then.....that is the
way it must be.
----------------------------
"Taits-kun isn't here." Aidou said, meeting the warriors at the door.
Tasuki's eyes popped open and he ducked behind Ashitare. Aidou's eyes
narrowed and she wandered behind the massive wolf-man to find Tasuki
holding his tessen.
"S-stay back freak of nature!" he whimpered. Aidou stared at him for a
moment, then slowly walked outside. Tasuki blinked and stared after her.
"KOU YOU PIECE OF SHIT! HOW DARE YOU LET MOTHER SET ME UP
WITH A BEAST AS DISGUSTING AS THAT TO BE MARRIED!" she
screamed, lifting up a log and hefting it towards him. Everyone scattered as
the log came sailing towards them. It landed on Tasuki's middle, knocking him
to the ground. Aidou came up and stomped a foot down on it, pinning him under.
"Oh...when did you go and get pregnant dear sister?" Tasuki laughed nervously.
Aidou was heavy with child.
"Since you left for those stupid bandits and let mother marry me off to that...
that....that Goku-thing!" she snapped. Several faces whited out, Hotohori,
Chiriko and Ashitare bent over to retch. "Now I'm pregnant with gods-know-
what, all thanks to you and your promise to send us money you cheapskate!"
she stomped down on the log several times, causing Tasuki to choke.
"Hey...what's going on over there?" Amiboshi asked, pointing to the north. Not
too far away was the mountain range that Taits-kun's lodge had been located in.
The dark clouds had converged there, spinning in a circle above the highest peak.
Tasuki pushed the log off his chest and jumped to his feet.
"Rain and Nazo are there...." he breathed.
-----------------------------
"So you've come." Nazo smirked. On one side of him stood Tetsuya, on the other,
Lai-Lai. Rain stood bravely despite the fear she felt, Nyan-Nyan standing
confidently on her left.
"Give me back the powers you stole." She said evenly, raising her head. Nazo's
smirk darkened.
"Sorry...but I like them." He said. He raised a hand, the black light appearing.
"I'll have the rest of them now." Glaring at him, Rain raised her arms above her
head.
"REKKA...SHINEN!" she cried, throwing her arms forward. No fire came. Pausing
for a moment in confusion, she tried again, and again, no flame came. Nazo smirked
and let the dark power disperse between his hands, then raised one arm.
"Rekka Shinen." He murmured, throwing his arm forward. The familiar fan-arc of
fire burst out and came barreling towards her.
"Haven't you learned to jump when things like that happen?!" Tasuki growled into her
ear as he grabbed her and jumped out of the way. Rain blinked into his face,
confused. He landed and they both stood to face Nazo.
"Oh good....you've all come." He said, smirking. Lai-Lai and Tetsuya stepped away from
him, and disappeared into the air, both smirking darkly. Rain looked behind her to see
the rest of her friends standing bravely, ready to fight. She turned back as she felt a
strange jolt go through her.
"What's happening?!" Miaka suddenly cried. All of the Seiryuu and Suzaku who had died
were slowly dissolving into tiny particle lights.
"Lady Yui!" Suboshi cried, reaching for Yui as he dissolved. Yui took a step forward, to
catch a light, shocked. The lights swirled through the air and went into Nazo. Nazo bent
over, hugging himself as the lights entered him, then threw his arms back, a black fog
coming from his action and swallowing the remaining people.
"TAKA!" Rain heard Miaka scream from a distance. Her voice echoed into silence. Choking
on the fog, Rain shut her eyes against the blinding blackness, feeling a calm emotion settle
over her.
--------------------------------
"Hey...why'd you stop reading?" Hoshi demanded, turning from the window. The clouds
outside had turned black. Thunder rumbled loud enough to be mistaken for an earthquake.
Keisuke flipped through the book one way, then back again.
"Because....there's no more to read...." he said uncertainly.
"What?!" Hoshi exclaimed, rushing over. "Let me see." She snatched the book from him and
flipped through, sitting down in his spot as he stood up. The writing ended halfway through the
page Keisuke had just been reading off of, and did not continue. Hoshi blinked at it and looked
up at Keisuke who now stood in front of the window. "What does this mean?" she asked in a
hushed voice. Keisuke shut his eyes and clenched his jaw.
"It means......we've lost."
