"And the pressure here relaxes the muscles in the body," a middle aged man
said, pointing at the back of a girl about Buds' age [F.Y.I. Age 17].
Buds nods and presses it, applying the right amount of pressure. The girl sighed.
"Good. That is all for today. Tomorrow, I'll teach you the pressure points in the chest area..."
"Thank you sensei," Buds replied, bowing. It's been almost two weeks, ever since he got the job. Peace was in the air for that particular time span. No youmas attacked, no Sailor Moon hunting, and training his new moves every time he goes back to his apartment.
(Sigh, if things go on this way, I might like my stay here...) Buds thought.
"Aaahhh!" a low moan came from the other side. Buds looked at the wall with a big sweat drop and sighed.
(Damn Gorby. When he first got the job, I bet he never even asked the pay rate...) Buds thought.
========================================================================= Me Against All Odds Chapter 2: Sailor Retaliation... =========================================================================
-Flashback, two weeks before-
Buds was bandaging his hand, burning it yet again trying to get all the all the chestnuts roasting in the open fire when Gorby came in, panting and looking excited.
"I found a job!" he said, pleased.
"Nice... but is it hard?" asked Buds. "We never finished collage, you know that... will they accept us?"
"Yeah. They said they'll be glad to teach us all we need to know about the job. They said we could start tomorrow!"
"You know Gorby, I think you saved us from poverty!"
-End Flashback-
Buds sighed again. He began working on the girls back again and rubbed it back and forth, hearing the girl's sigh as a signal that he is doing a good job. (who knew the job would be here?)
-Flashback, first day of work-
"THIS IS THE PLACE?" asked Buds in disbelief, looking at the spa which had the sign 'Women Only'.
"Yeah! You'll love it!" Gorby said, smiling. Dragging Buds inside, he skillfully told the receptionist that they were the ones taking the job. She [the receptionist was female] took them to see the head of the spa.
"Good morning," said a woman with formal clothes. She was in her mid- thirties, with beautiful blonde hair which went down her shoulders. No one would know how long it was unless she was standing. Her green eyes though, were unique, especially to a blonde.
"Good morning," said both Buds and Gorby, bowing.
"Ahh, yes. The two bikini waxers," the head said, ignoring Buds jaw drop the height of Mount Fuji. "Welcome."
"Excuse me? BIKINI WAXERS?" Buds asked in disbelief. "When do males do bikini waxes on females?"
"Buds, shut up... We are getting the job of a lifetime..." Gorby whispered.
"You must be new. Yes, although it seems highly unusual, we now accept such positions... By the way, my name is Gild," said the head.
"Buds, and this guy here is Gor..."
"Yes, yes, I know who he is. He just came in yesterday, begging for the job," Gild said, smiling evilly. Buds gulped. He knew that look. It was a look of a person that loves to dominate.
"Anyway, you can start today. Miss Cloudia can teach you the basics and advancements of bikini waxing, and other types of waxing..."
"Uh," Buds inquired, a last desperate attempt. "Is there any other jobs other than... waxing?"
"Oh, now that you mention it, we will be opening a massage parlor next week..." Gild replied. "If you want, you can do that, and you can take lessons from Mister Ono. He came all the way from Nerima."
-End of Flashback-
Buds sighed again. Ever since the first day, Gorby was more or less smiling like a devil who just won a free trip back to heaven and being forgiven, and the females blushing every time they see Gorby.
Buds on the other hand, tried to keep a professional level with his clients. They may blush when they see him, but he never did anything 'indecent' to them. God knows if Gorby was indecent to his clients.
"Thank you," said the girl, covering herself with a white towel. Buds just nodded and sat on the chair, arms behind his head and relaxing. If there were no more people, he would be leaving. Checking his schedule, he smiled. He was free. And to make it sound better, it was only three o'clock!
"GORBY! I'M GOING!" Buds shouted. He heard a weak 'Yeah' followed by a moan. Buds sighed again.
Walking out, Buds looked at the sun shine, whistling the merry tune of 'Clint Eastwood', and sighed. Never in his life did he look up in the sky and wonder what the future will hold for him. He began walking back to his apartment when he saw Rei. Both stared at each other for almost a minute before she began walking towards him.
"So, how is your life?" she asked.
"Better. I like it," Buds answered truthfully. There was nothing that could lie to those creepy red eyes. See them glow in the dark, even Superman might take an early bathroom break.
"You know, there is still a bet to reconsider..."
"Leave me alone, I'm training. And you never said anything about time limit..." Buds snorted. They both walked towards Buds' apartment. Rei smiled and left him alone. Buds, not heeding or even noticing Rei's absence, went up the roof where all his training materials are there.
"Alright! Let's do this!!!"
In a few moments, a faint shout could be heard...
"Kachuu Tenshin Amaguriken!" "OW! I burned my hand again!" "Kachuu Tens... OW! I bit my tounge!"
And finally, after an hour, "YES! I DID IT!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------
Buds walked down the store to get some food. He began to wonder if he would be able to cook. But then, at the moment, he was just another Akane and Misato. Burned rice [dubbed as the crispy black rice], overcooked steak [called stone], and finally, soup [called an empty pot ^-^] were some of his specialties. Sighing for God knows how many, he walked back to his apartment, only to feel it again. Darkness.
"GIVE ME YOUR ENERGY!" cried a monstrous voice in the background.
Buds sighed again. After two weeks, it was bound to happen. Another youma attack. But this time, the youma was...
"Damn," Buds said, looking at it. "It's butt-ugly..."
The subject was indeed ugly. And fat. No Sumo wrestlers could rival it's belly. It's belly flopped down making him look like a abnormal Christmas tree. It also didn't help that it's skin color was green. But the face was the one some one could laugh at. It had like a birthmark on the center, making it look like someone steeped on it, and the mark also had another brown coloring in the center of the mark, making it look like the one who stepped on it's face stepped somewhere 'dirty' before. Buds almost couldn't contain himself.
The youma charged around, shouting it's only line, which in Buds' opinion, why they die after their first appearance. They don't have much of a script, unless before they die.
Buds sighed, dropped his grocery and charged. The youma took about three movements to see what was charging at him from the side. Buds thought that it would be a peace of cake, when he hit the youma so easily. But then, he realized that the monster didn't even feel the punch. It just retaliated and punched him dead in the face. Buds almost went dizzy, not by the punch, but by the smell the youma had.
"Jeez man! Didn't you even take a bath?"
"GIVE ME YOUR ENERGY!" it said.
"Jeez, you reek of shit!" and Buds continued to pound him, circling around him. When the time was right, he raised his hand, and attacked. "HIRYU SHOTEN HA!"
Buds thought it was over, but was surprised to see the monster still walking to him, not affected by the cyclone. (Man, this is like iron Zangief... Wait a minute... he can't block!)
Realizing this, his guns appeared from his hands, and he started to shoot at him, reloading fast while the monster walked towards him. Realizing it wouldn't stop, Buds focused on the monster's face and fired at it. It screamed even louder in pain, as it was hit near the mark on his mark.
"Oh! Now I get it! That brown mark is your core?" Buds asked loudly. "You should've just put a 'shoot me here' sign. And I thought someone who just stepped into dog pooh steeped in your face. Also the smell was a distraction... no matter, good bye!"
Saying this, he ran near the monster and jumped up. In a flash, he was on the other side, short sword out, and the monster stood there, and fell down, causing a mild earthquake.
"And I thought I would never see a youma fall down and have his belly flop," Buds declared to no one in particular. Then, he sang. "And I don't know why this world keeps turning, round and round But I wish it would stop, and let me off right now..."
"In the name of Justice! I, Sailor Moon, shall punish you in the name of the..."
"Oh, would you please stop the line!" Buds screamed, looking up. "Hey, nice panties, all white." And he smirked.
All the Sailor Senshi blushed and covered their legs again.
"PERVERT!" Venus screamed.
"Well, avoid the 'high in the sky' entrance. You're a bit late, Senshi's. The battles done!" Buds declared, trying to copy Kuno. "No more do we need to fear from this monster as you witnessed him being slayed to the netherworld."
Before anyone could say anything, Buds whipped up his gun and shot at the left of the Senshi's. Tuxedo Mask stood there, sweating, his hand stuck forward, and a hole in his hat. And the rose he threw was at his feet, and he fainted.
"Damn, I missed," Buds joked.
"H-how dare you hurt Tuxedo Mask!" Moon screamed.
"Forget the watch him, I say kick his ass!" Mars declared. Everyone nodded.
Buds narrowed his eyes. (They are gonna attack now?) "Hey, waitaminute! I don't think..." but he couldn't finish. A lightning ball came towards him and Buds barely avoided it. Before he could react, he felt a burn all over his body as he slammed towards the wall on his side. The impact causes his ribs to crack. Buds felt something he never felt in two weeks. Fear of watching the Sailor Moon series with his friend Reiko forever.
Grabbing his side, he staggered to avoid a blue ball flying towards him. He got his guns out and retaliated. Shooting and directly at two of the Senshis, he moved in pain as the cracked rib was almost giving out. If it did, it would puncture his lungs and he won't be able to breath regularly. Suddenly, a lightning ball hit him, stunning him for a moment, enough for Venus to wrap him in her chain.
She wasted no time. She used all her strength to throw Buds to a wall, and to another, before smiling at the fallen figure. She walked towards him as he struggled to get up.
"Well, so that's how you look like..." Venus exclaimed. "Your cute..."
"Don't sound so disappointed Venus," Buds grumbled through his gritted teeth. The chain wound around him was tight, aching his side. "Although I'm not cute as Tux boy there, I'm far more interesting than him."
"Oh, don't spoil me yet. I'll find out how interesting you are once we go through the interrogation..." Venus smiled.
Buds looked at her and his jaw drop. "EEP! VENUS! You're getting creepy!"
Jupiter stood beside her, with a smirk in her face. "Hmm, so Omega, it seems that it's game over for you?"
"Maybe, maybe not... Agh!" He screamed, as the chain tightened.
Before anyone could see what happened, a loud shot rang out, and Jupiter fell in her front.
"What the...?" and BANG! Venus went down as well.
Moon, who just saw Venus fall, frantically jumped and ran in circles, trying to find who's' shooting.
BAN! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
None hit Sailor Moon as the bullet holes appeared about a centimeter where Moon was before.
"Damn it, hold still!" a faint voice declared. No doubt about it, it was Sperminator.
Buds thought of a way. "HEY! MEATBALL HEAD!" Buds declared.
Moon stopped a moment with an angry face when BANG! She went down.
"Whew, I almost had to reload..." Sperminator declared, walking out of the shadows.
"Thanks, man," Buds said, shaking himself free from the chains, which stopped from glowing since Venus went down.
"They are not dead yet, are they?" Sperminator asked.
"No. I think their fuku's stop bullets..." Buds shrugged. "Well, that means we defeated them..."
Before Gorby could reply, a blast sent both of them towards the floor. It seems Mars has woken up.
"NOT YET!" she screamed.
"Oh man..." Gorby declared, taking aim, but then, Buds told him to stop. "What?"
"They are all waking up..." Buds said with a cold dread. And it was true. The other inner Senshi's were standing up.
"This is not good..." Gorby declared.
"NOW! FEEL THE MIGHT OF THE SAILOR SENSHI!!!"
Thinking fast, Buds covered his nose. "MAN! ALRIGHT! WHO SHIT ON THEMSELVES?"
Mars looks at Buds with an indifferent gaze.
Gorby, realizing Buds' plan, got his FlashBang ready.
"OH CRAP! MARS! LOOK AT YER BEHIND! IT HAS A DARK SPOT!" Buds declared.
"WHAT?" Mars shrieked, quickly trying to look at her buttocks, only to realize she was duped. I mean, how could anyone from your front see your behind? Before she could react, she heard a deafening bang and a flash of blinding light. The last thing she heard was...
"OMMINATOR FINAL TECHNIQUE! RUN AWAY!"
When she regained both of her senses, she saw a cloud of dust where they standing. She roared. Before, they teased her, now they insulted her.
"WHEN I GET YOU OMEGA! I'LL PERSONALLY SET YOU IN FLAMES!!!"
To be continued... ========================================================================= NEXT!
Omega finally meets someone he really likes! But, what if she had other enemies, including Urd?
NEXT CHAPTER! Me and my demon girlfriend Mara... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------ Author's Note: Check all readers. I don't hate the Sailor Senshi... but after watching them over and over again, I had to put my foot down... They are really NICE girls! [even though Mars is a bot of a hot head...]
"I heard that!"
OW! Mars! Sorry!! OW! HEY! OW!
Buds nods and presses it, applying the right amount of pressure. The girl sighed.
"Good. That is all for today. Tomorrow, I'll teach you the pressure points in the chest area..."
"Thank you sensei," Buds replied, bowing. It's been almost two weeks, ever since he got the job. Peace was in the air for that particular time span. No youmas attacked, no Sailor Moon hunting, and training his new moves every time he goes back to his apartment.
