Chapter 51
So, now the last of the Seishi were ready for battle. Timidly, Chiriko stepped forward, taking deep breaths, hoping to make it through this one battle. Tomo was looking quite intimidating, standing over him, a grin on his painted face and the strange garments he wore. Chiriko gulped.
"This is too easy," Tomo said. He snapped his fingers, and vines shot up from the ground, grabbing Chiriko.
Chiriko closed his eyes, and reminded himself it was all an illusion. Seeing through it, he simply took a step forward, and the vines vanished.
"What?!" Tomo cried. "You saw through my illusion?"
"Yes, indeed," Chiriko said. "Understand, Tomo, that your power is weak. You only think that you have a great and enormus power, and that is the biggest illusion of it all. You wear all the crap because you believe the art of illusion making is a most dangerous weapon. Only for the fool it is. If one has a clear mind and soul, they will see through all your tricks. You have lost this battle. You might as well give up now."
"What a mouthful," Tasuki said. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"What?!" Tomo cried. "I - I'm not ready to quit just now!"
He pulled out his shin, and sucked Chiriko into it. "There, smarty- pants! Try getting out of that one!"
Chiriko closed his eyes in concentration again, and pretty soon, the shin broke in Tomo's hands, and Chiriko was safely standing on the ground before him.
"Yeah, Chiriko!" Kristin cried. The rest of her Seishi joined in.
"Uh, come on, Tomo," Martha whispered. "I haven't much Warriors left. Please, do something to the child."
Tomo looked wearily at Chiriko. A glimmer went up within Chiriko's eyes.
"You don't want to hurt me, do you?" Chiriko asked. "Before you might have, but now that Kailein's going to bare you a child or two -"
"or two?! What's that supposed to mean?"
" - you can't bare to hurt me, for you're going to be a daddy soon and have children of your own, and you couldn't bare to hurt children after that. At least that makes you a good father, but now, you can't touch me."
"That's not true!" Tomo cried. "I can hurt you. You're a Warrior!" He lunged for the child, and Chiriko fell back, immediately bursting into tears. Tomo stopped, and his face got red.
"Uh . . . don't cry," Tomo said, not wanting to take another step forward. "Aren't we supposed to be battling? Real men don't cry! You want to be called a sissy girl for the rest of your life?"
"You want to be known as a child abuser before you have kids of your own?!" Chiriko cried, and head-butted into Tomo, forcing him to the ground.
"You can't lay a finger on me," Chiriko said. "Watch me beat you up."
"You can't beat me up," Tomo said, "this is a battle of our powers and yours isn't beating people up."
"Mine is Knowledge," Chiriko said, "and it is pure Knowledge that leads me to realize that i can beat you up while you can't lay a finger on me!"
With that, Chiriko started kicking Tomo and sending his tiny fists to his face, beating up the poor guy. "You're mine!" he cried, as he continued to issue forth his fists. Chiriko smiled. Finally, he could beat someone up! Finally, he was going to do something useful for Kristin and -
Fed up, Tomo jumped to his feet, battered and bruised, and kicked Chiriko far away from him.
"Ah-eeeee!" went Chiriko as he sailed over everyone's heads and behind the Suzaku. All the Suzaku Seishi gave terrible glares at Tomo.
Tomo hung his head low. "I know. I know. I shouldn't have done that." Then, he walked over to where his follow Seishi were laying unconscious on the ground, and sat there. "I deserve it."
"Oh, Tomo," Kailein said, "You're such an honorable gentlemen! You better not kick our children!"
"Why are you saying childREN? I thought we're just having one CHILD!" he cried from where he sat, with his legs tucked in under his robes.
Martha sighed. "I guess we'll be moving onto the next of the battles, right?"
The Lone Wolf Warrior gave an evil grin, and looked over his Seishi. He counted out loud pointing to Chichiri, Amiboshi, Suboshi, Miboshi, and Tomo. "That's five," he said, and then counted Soi, Tamahome, and Ashitare. "Oh, look, that's seven."
"WHAT?!" Martha demanded. "You haven't counted Phil and Katie! They were your warriors -"
"Friends," The Lone Wolf Warrior announced, "it's called Lone Wolf Warrior and Friends . . . but, i guess i should be thanking you for the Seishi?" And he gave an evil laugh.
"How unfair!" martha cried, falling to her knees. Makiko began to cry, and Tomo got up to run back over to kailein, but the Lone Wolf Warrior knocked him down unconscious to the floor.
"That's unfair, Lone Wolf Warrior," Hotohori said, brandishing out his sword. "You've rid of all of Martha's Warriors. Who does she have now?"
"She has me," said a deep bass voice from behind them. Everyone turned to see Nakago, standing there, in all of his loveliness.
"So, you've finally decided to join us?" the Lone Wolf Warrior said, a tremble in his voice. "What took you so long?"
"I needed a grand entrance at the climactic point of the story for empahsis," Nakago said. "And now, if you don't mind, Miss UOTS, time for the cliff-hanger ending!"
"With joy, Nakago," Miss UOTS called out. Thus, she ended the chapter with:
So, will the Lone Wolf Warrior survive in carrying out his evil deed, or will Nakago be the unlikely hero to save the day? Tune in NEXT TIME!!! MUH-HA HA HA HA!
