Chapter 49
* i need you all to now that my computer has been down, and we've replaced it with our old computer (windows 95) and with every key stroke i hear a clicking noise that's getting quite annoying . . . but what's important is that i had already written this chapter down in my other computer (windows 98) so this is a remake of that chapter, and it's probably not exactly the same. Please bare with me. I am going to get my computer fixed because i have FILES that i can't afford to loose . . . (my Powerbead story is 154 pages long, too long for a floppy disk. I need cd roms and that FILE back immidiately!) *
Nuriko and Miboshi stood facing one another, ready for their fight. Nuriko took a deep breath and put his hands out in front of him, posing for action. Miboshi rose up his dradle, pointing towards the sky, and summoned one of his best demons.
Everyone stood in awe as the monstrosity snarled at Nuriko.
"So, this is how you choose to fight, uh?" Nuriko growled. "You can't even use your hands? I'm more of a man than you'll ever be, at this point."
"Hey, lay off my Mibibi!" Makiko cried.
"Go!" Miboshi shouted at the demon, and the demon lunged towards Nuriko. Nuriko easily managed to knock it back to the ground. The demon faded, and Miboshi growled.
"Let's see how you can handle these guys," he muttered, and unleashed at least a dozen demons at Nuriko. The cross-dresser was on his feet, and battled the demons down.
Miboshi felt a twitch under his left eye. He put his dradle up in the air, but suddenly found Nuriko head butting him to the ground.
"Can't use your hands, huh?" Nuriko said, smiling, putting his hands up like a victor.
"I'm not through yet!" Miboshi cried. He tried to get to his feet, but Nuriko tackled him back down. He kicked and punched him hard, causing Miboshi to topple to the ground once more.
"Mibibi . . ." Makiko moaned.
Weakly, the Seiryu Seishi got to his feet, swaying on the spot. He tried to summon another demon, but Nuriko gave him two black eyes and a bloody nose, sending him back to the ground, groaning slightly in pain.
He rose his dradle in the air, trying to use it to call out his greatest demon, but Nuriko kicked it our of his hand and stomped on it.
"Looks like I won," Nuriko said, as Miboshi's eyes grew wide, looking at the falling splinters of his dradle. "if this is a battle of our powers, i guess i've eliminated yours, aren't i right, mister Lone Wolf Warrior?"
The Lone Wolf Warrior grinned happily, and proceeded towards Miboshi, but the demon summoner jumped to his feet and head butted into Nuriko, causing him to fall back to the ground.
"No, i'm not through yet! I'm not down until i'm unmoving!" he cried, his face a poor sight to look at by now.
Nuriko growled and began to pumult him with angry fists and harsh kicks, tearing up the demon summoner with his awesome strength. Miboshi fell to the ground again, heaving and panting.
"Don't give up Miboshi!" Martha suddenly called. Miboshi turned to see that all the remaining Seiryu (Makiko, Kailein and Tomo that is) were still cheering him on. A tear was rolling down Makiko's face. Angered and determined to win, Miboshi got to his feet, wiping blood off of his face.
"You're still willing to go?" the Lone Wolf Warrior taunted. Nuriko turned around to see his opponent was not yet down. In his eyes, Miboshi thought he caught a glimpse of sympathy.
"I can't just let you win, you know that," Nuriko said.
"Don't act like you're all high and mighty and better than i," Miboshi shouted.
"Look at you!" Nuriko cried. "You're mostly dead anyhow!"
Miboshi just bit his lip, and closed his eyes. Though his life force was very weak by now, he was going to do the extreme and dangerous by summoning his most awesome and terrible demon of all. Makiko cringed.
"Mibibi," she cried, "you don't have enough strength to master that demon with our your dradle! Please, don't! You'll kill yourself!"
But, Miboshi couldn't hear her. He was deep in concentration, and pretty soon, a giant monster of a demon stood before Nuriko, and everyone had to run back so not to be squashed.
Though a great ache in his brain began to form, Miboshi forced himself to guide the demon around, trying to squash the Warrior of Suzaku. He could feel every inch of his strength flow out of him as he did so, but he was not going to let himself loose. He was not going to loose Makiko, whom he had finally proposed to. He had never mentioned the love word to anyone but her, and his feelings for her were the only thing pushing him on. Grinding his teeth together, he held on, determined to win.
It was then that he heard a faint voice in the distant cry out, "Nuriko!" that he mistakenly took for the defeat of his opponent. Miboshi tried to easily let go of his demon, but blackness took his mind instead and he fell to the ground with a grin on his face, certain that he had won.
"Miboshi, no!!" was the last thing he heard.
Makiko craddled her beloved in her arms, the tears rolling down her cheeks. "My Mibibi, my Mibibi! You shouldn't have . . . you knew you couldn't! Why? Oh, why did it have to be you?!"
She sobbed on her fallen warrior, and even Nuriko looked on the body of Miboshi with a sad face. The moment the Seishi had fallen, the demon disappeared, and everyone's heart lunged. Mitsukake ran over to the body, and everyone sighed with relief to know that he had merely fallen into unconsciousness and was still alive.
But, that did not make Makiko too happy. She still wanted to see him awake, and then that trecherous Lone Wolf Warrior came and took her beloved away, throwing him down on the ground with the other unconscious Seiryu Seishi.
"You!" Makiko screamed, and lunged for the Lone Wolf Warrior, but Martha and Kailein held her back, trying to calm their sobbing friend. Kristin even came over and gave Makiko a big hug. She had never seen Makiko cry before.
"What a wonderful, heroic ending," the Lone Wolf Warrior said in a calm, teasing voice. "It makes me want to throw up."
Everyone growled at him.
"Ha! But that is only another battle down, more to go! Tune in next time, folks, for Mitsukake the healer versus . . . Kailein, mistress of Illusions!"
"Hey!" Tomo cried, jumping out in front of Kailein with arms open wide. "You can't do that, she's pregnant!"
Everyone got silence with sweat drops abound.
Tomo blushed. "Uh . . . that just . . . what i meant is . . . Miss UOTS, do you mind?"
Thus, Miss UOTS ended the chapter, trying hard not to laugh at the face-painted freak.
