Chapter 3
At Mt. Kikikikiki they arrived. Tamafro with Nuriko in his arms, Hotohori with Chichiri and Chiriko at his side. Mitsukake with Tama perched on his shoulder in a messy state, and Tasuki wearing a Mexican hat with a large t-shirt that said, "Cheez its!" on it.
They all gaped with surprise to see the Seiryu Seishi already there.
"What's the meaning of this?" Tamafro growled.
There stood an almost naked Soi with the twins just behind her, holding their toys tightly. Ashitare was wearing a clown suit, sitting on the ground at Miboshi's feet. Nakago was trying hard not to laugh at Ashitare, and Tomo stood next to him, in his usual attire.
"What are you doing here?" Soi demanded.
"Naiidoska sent for us," Hotohori said, taking a step forward.
"What?" Soi asked, "that's impossible! He sent for us, too!"
"Uh-oh," Miboshi said, "I have a bad feeling about this . . ."
There was a big POOF! and Naiidoska appeared before the seishi.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Naiidoska said, as the room grew dark and a spotlight from the ceiling landed on him. "I am sure you all want to know what you are doing here."
"Yeah," Tamafro said, "I thought this was something important."
"It is," Naiidoska said. "Bad things have happened in the world of your priestesses."
"Oh no," Hotohori said, getting tense, "please don't tell me . . ."
"Yes," Naiidoska said, shaking his head, "the priestesses and their friends have been reported missing from their world. It happened about a month after they returned home."
"A month?!" Hotohori cried. "How dare you wait until now to tell us this horrid news!"
"Ahem," Chiriko spoke up. "Remember that time runs differently in Kristin-sama's world, your Highness. One month in their world probably is one year in this one."
"Percisely!" Naiidoska said, then he looked up at the ceiling and shouted at Miss Uots, "You spelled that wrong!"
*growl from Miss Uots*
"Anyway," Naiidoska said, "it is time to send the best of the best of the best up to the world that they have vanished to . . ." and dramatic music began just then "the Wolfdom!"
"Oh no," Hotohori said, "not the Wolfdom! You're telling me that that Lone Wolf Warrior is still out there?"
"But of course," Naiidoska said. "Until we get a new bad guy, he's all we have. So . . . I'm going to pick the best of the best of the best out of you all. One, Nakago."
"Well, that was obvious," Nakago said, sneering at the Suzaku Seishi.
"Next, Hotohori."
"I will get my beloved Kristin-sama back," Hotohori said, taking out his sword. "You have my word on it."
"Next, Tasuki."
"All RIGHT!" Tasuki shouted. "Time to kick some Wolf Lone Warrior ASS!"
"Next, Tomo."
"Am I a father yet?"
"Not yet," Naiidoska said, "it's only been a month. Next, Miboshi."
Miboshi gave a nod and stood aside with Nakago and Tomo.
"Now," Naiidoska said, "I am going to add in two more to your number, making you a new batch of Seshi. First, because he will be most detrimental and important . . ."
"Please, please," Tamafro said. "You're embarrassing me."
"I wasn't talking about you, Tamafro," Naiidoska said, bitterly. "I was talking about Mitsukake. If you guys get injured you'll be lucky to have him around."
Mitsukake gave a big smile and stepped aside with Hotohori and Tasuki.
"And finally," Naiidoska said, "Chichiri . . . so that you guys can keep in contact with me, and because he's quite good at what he does. Now, I understand that there is going to be some bitter feelings among each other, so I want to hear some promises made that you will work together. Do you hear me, Nakago?"
Nakago growled. "Stupid Emperor."
"Dumb General," Hotohori hissed back.
"Enough!" Naiidoska said. "I want to hear peace between you two. You are now the New Seishi. Nakago . . . Hotohori . . . I want you two to shake hands on it."
Nakago and Hotohori approached each other. They stared at one another meanacingly, and then, held out hands and shook them.
"Good boys!" Naiidoska said. "Here . . . have some cheez its." And each was awarded a box of cheez its.
"And now I leave you be," Naiidoska said.
"Wait a minute!" Tamafro said, angered. "What about the rest of us?"
"Doesn't this concern us, too?" Soi demanded. "What did you want all of us here for if you were only going to send out seven of us?"
"You had to know," Naiidoska replied. "They are your priestesses, and I thought you'd like to know what was going on and to say goodbye to your fellow celestial warriors for the time being. By the way . . . Chichiri. You still have that one wish. Use it wisely."
"I will sir, no da," Chichiri answered.
"Good!" Naiidoska said. "Then let's all have a Mexican Hat dance party for the farewell of our warriors, and then . . . TO THE WOLFDOM!"
