Chapter Twenty ~***~
"What are you saying?" Ross demanded.
"She finally snapped just because I wouldn't give her stuff back! She was going to have me killed!"
O.O "Oro?"
"That doesn't make any sense!" Rick shot back. "I'm an Actor, for God's sake! We're in the same class! She's always the quiet one."
"So?! It's always the quiet one that turns violent!"
O.O "Oro??"
"I don't know her all that well," Stuart said calmly. "But she's a good person. I've never seen her get angry at all!"
"Who cares?!"
'Mira. Can you hear me?'
Hao's voice! 'What is it?'
'You have to switch with someone again. There's no way you can fight Cyndi while she's got that ring. Switch with Yoh. Then you can integrate with Amidamaru.'
BLUSH.
'How do I switch with Yoh?!'
'You kinda have to collide with each other. I'll give Yoh the message, too.'
'WHAT??!! Get back here, you pain in the ass!'
Too late, he was already gone. I looked in Yoh's direction and noticed that he'd stopped for a minute. Slowly he nodded, and looked over at me. I nodded back, broke from the group and began running towards Yoh. Cyndi tried to run after me, but Bailong stood in her way.
I stopped about twenty feet away from Yoh. "Is this far enough?"
He nodded. "Yup. On the count of three."
Suddenly he froze. He pointed behind me. When I followed his gaze I saw that Cyndi had somehow gotten past Bailong and was coming towards us with that ring materializing a shadow into a creepy-looking sword.
"Three!" Yoh and I shouted at the same time, and slammed into each other.
Everything went black for a few seconds and I staggered around like a drunk until my vision cleared up. When it did I saw my own body running past me. "So long, good luck!"
I rolled my eyes. "Thanks a lot, Yoh."
It didn't take long to integrate with Amidamaru. I just hoped he wouldn't go snooping in my mind... Cyndi had reached me and was about to bring down her sword on my head. I let Amidamaru take complete control.
He blocked Cyndi's attack using the sword I'd given Yoh at my house. It was more a cutlass than a katana, but a sword nonetheless. Cyndi tried to attack again, but it was dodged and Amidamaru cut right into her hand, causing her to drop the sword.
Before Amidamaru could reach out and grab the ring she spun around to face the group of Actors and Techs. "Kill him!" she screamed. "He's the one Mira hired to kill me!"
I'd had enough. I came up to consciousness with Amidamaru and I threw down the sword. "Fiction can sure be fun...but I find the reference section much more enlightening. For instance..."
At this point I started circling Cyndi like a seasoned investigator. "If you were to look up 'History's Big Book of Traitors', right up there with Benedict Arnold and Rasputin you'd find the story of a good friend who decided that since she had a boyfriend she didn't need a friend anymore. In fact, the only thing she ever wanted to talk about with her friend were the disgusting, degenerate things she would do with said boyfriend. When her friend didn't want to hear it anymore, she cut off all communication."
Then I took a deep breath. "What you wouldn't read about is how the traitorous former friend decided to off the one she betrayed by making a deal with a hideous Japanese demon named Kazeko!"
Mick stared at me. "What the hell are you talking about?"
I jabbed an accusing finger at Cyndi. "She tried to kill me so she wouldn't have to feel guilty anymore. Not only that, the ring she's got on is what Kazeko gave her so she can control the forces of darkness!"
Cyndi pointed the ring at herself. "Very smart. But now I'm going to transform into a creature you've never seen before. Except maybe in your nightmares!"
She became enveloped in an eerie shadow. Soon evil laughter filled the air,and the shadow dissipate to reveal- -
A Michael Jackson duplicate.
I couldn't help but start laughing. Neither could anyone else!
When I was able to talk, I did so. "N-no offense, Cyndi... But I really HAVE had a nightmare about that guy!"
At that comment everyone started laughing even harder. That is, until the Michael duplicate used the ring again. Another dark shadow dissipated to reveal a tiny kitten.
I walked over and bent down to grin at Cyndi. "You really don't know how to use that thing, do you?"
She glared at me and held up the ring, which was hanging on one claw. "I know how to use it enough for THIS," she said in a squeaky Eartha-Kitt-on- helium voice.
The ring flared to life and enveloped me in darkness. At some point I felt myself wrenched from Yoh's body. When the darkness faded I shook my head a few times and looked around. But something was wrong- -I couldn't feel the chill night air or the wind that was making the water on the lake choppy.
I held up my hand and saw that it was see-thru. "Oh. My. God..."
"Oh my GOD!!!" Yoh shouted. "She switched Mira into Amidamaru's...form!"
Both Amidamaru (in Yoh's body) and I glared at him. "What was your first clue??!"
