Chapter 47
Caitlin stepped forward, and took out her fan. She grinned in the same fashion as Tasuki, saying, "Now it's MY turn!"
Amiboshi put his flute to his lips, saying, "This one's for my brother. I will not let us fall into the hands of the Lone Wolf Warrior!"
Everyone got to their knees, putting their hands into their ears. Amiboshi prepared to blow his first note, but Caitlin immediately screamed out, "WATER SLAP!!" and hit him hard.
Sputtering, Amiboshi leapt to his feet, but got knocked down by another wave of water. He got hit again, and again, with Caitlin all the while screaming, "WATER SLAP, WATER SLAP, WATER SLAP. . . "
Finally, she stopped to catch her breath. Amiboshi stood wearily on his feet, absolutely drenched to the bone, and shivering because of the cold. He put the flute to his lips, and as Caitlin screamed "WATER SLAP!" he began to play.
The first few notes broke her water wave before it hit him, splashing the ground heavily. Caitlin screamed in agony as the flute's terrible music floated to her ears. Bracing herself, she threw a few more water slaps at Amiboshi, but she only succeeded in creating a very muddy ground.
Panting and wincing from the pain of the music, Caitlin stared at the muddy ground beneath Amiboshi's feet, and suddenly had an idea. She sent a dozen more water slaps at him, aiming directly for the ground at his feet. It was getting sloashy and slippery, and soon, Amiboshi slipped, dropping his flute.
He picked it up with a disgusted face, but Caitlin was now another Water Slap roll, pelting him with water.
He put the flute back up to his lips when she stopped to catch her breath, and blew one devastating high note which sent Caitlin to her knees. She dropped her fan, feeling something pop in her ears.
"Caitlin!" came Tasuki's voice. Soon, he was at her side, trying to get her up, but the foot of the Lone Wolf Warrior came up and kicked him away.
"You can't interfere!" the Lone Wolf Warrior said. "She must get out of it her own or lose. That's the way it is."
"Tasuki," Kristin said, pulling the bandit out of the way. "Put trust in her. She'll be okay."
Tasuki growled, and soon, he was down on the ground again, covering his ears from the sound that Amiboshi was issuing forth from his flute.
Caitlin slowly got to her feet. Amiboshi didn't bother to get to his feet, knowing he would slip and loose his music. He sat on his knees playing. Caitlin couldn't put her hands up to her ears, for she knew she had to use her fan to defeat the boy. She raised it up, ever so slowly, feeling the great sonic waves of the flute crash into her, seeping through her ears and into her brain, giving her such a pain in the head, she was sure she'd collapse into a faint any moment now.
Caitlin rose the fan high above her head and gave a mighty yell, "WATER FOCUS SPIRAL SLAP!!"
A thin jet of water rushed out of Caitlin's fan, and flew into the flute's opening, and into Amiboshi's mouth. Amiboshi let go of the flute, but the jet stream held it there, and filled him up with water until the flute finally broke from the power of the water gushing forth from Caitlin's fan.
Amiboshi gave a weak cough and slumped to the ground.
"Augh, Amiboshi!" Martha cried. "He isn't dead, is he?"
"His flute broke," Caitlin said. "He has no chance anyway. And no, he's not dead. Just a little too full of water." She swayed on her knees before collapsing into a faint.
"Caitlin!" Tasuki screamed, tears almost coming to his eyes. (note the almost . . . )
He cradled her in his arms, and Mituskake pointed out, "She's not dead. She's only passed out. She'll be fine. Just give her rest."
Tasuki took his soon-to-be-bride and lay her down in the grass about ten feet away from where the battle was happening, and stayed by her side, growling about the stupid Wolf Lone Warrior and his damn Final Battle Rules.
"How odd," the Lone Wolf Warrior announced. "One brother defeated by Fire, the other with Water. Opposite Elements, that is. I shall put these two aside."
"Why don't you just take those two?" Kristin asked, angered.
"Kristin!" Martha said.
"I'm sorry, Martha," Kristin said, "but I don't want to loose any of my numbers."
"So I have to loose two of them?" Martha cried.
"No, you might not," the Lone Wolf Warrior said. "I must have the best of the losers, so I can not simply settle on these two. Do you understand me?"
"Ai," Martha and Kristin said at once.
"So," the Lone Wolf Warrior said, turning towards the camera, "tune in next time: Chichiri the Fox monk versus . . . Makiko the Cheez it Summoner!"
"Where DO you get those stupid names, Lone Wolf Warrior?" Kristin muttered as the screen fades to black.
Caitlin stepped forward, and took out her fan. She grinned in the same fashion as Tasuki, saying, "Now it's MY turn!"
