Chapter 3: Mineiko vs. Nami
Mineiko held up the Reikai laser and aimed at the glowing force shield. She pressed the button and sliced a hole through the barrier in the shape of a door. The group hurried through the breech and ran into the temple.
"Do you really think we can win?" Katana asked
"If we don't then I won't have to take that chemistry test next week." Rei answered
"We'd better be careful. I sense a lot of power coming from that temple," Mineiko warned
They burst in through huge doors and found the first floor deserted. There were stairs at the other end of the room and the group ran toward them, Mineiko in the lead, as the thunder boomed outside. Suddenly, a hole opened up in the wall and water began to pour out into the room.
Within a few minutes the room had transformed into a deadly underwater coral reef. A giant red squid came through the hole and grabbed Mineiko with his huge tentacles.
"Spirit shield!" Yuki commanded and a glittering blue shield surrounded the group and kept them from drowning.
"Mineiko just concentrate and try to form a spirit sword," Botan yelled
"Easy for you to say," Mineiko thought as the squid squeezed her tighter. The lack off oxygen began to make her light headed.
"I am Nami the squid demon. Welcome to my realm puny humans." The squid roared
"We're not exactly happy to be here." Rei said
"Don't worry. You won't be here too long. Just until I kill you all,"
" I have to get him to let me go," Mineiko thought
Then Mineiko felt something solid in her hand. She looked down to find the spirit sword. Mineiko then quickly sliced the tentacle off the squid and wriggled out as the tentacle fell to the ocean floor.
"My sister can hold her breath longer than me, but I don't know if she can last much longer," Yuki said concerned.
"Hold on. I'll fix that in just a minute," Botan said as she pulled a laptop computer from her backpack and began typing at lightening speed.
A special oxygen mask appeared in the water and Mineiko quickly grabbed it and put it on.
"Ha," Nami laughed," So you have found a way to breath in my realm. It will do you no good. Tentacle spikes!"
With that Nami's ten tentacles sprouted huge, sharp, deadly spikes and he waved them around like clubs. He then lunged toward Mineiko who narrowly managed to avoid the attack.
"Tentacle spikes?" Mineiko questioned
"Yes these spikes are filled with deadly poison so even if I just scratch you I can kill you."
He swung the tentacles at her again. She dodged
"That was close if I'm not careful I could become a shish kabob," Mineiko thought as she dodged at the last second.
Mineiko yelled, "Eww he was so slimy. If we survive this, I am never eating squid again!"
"Hey, if you die can I have your room? " Yuki shouted
"Shut up!" Mineiko shot back. She then swam away again dodging another swing of the spiked tentacles. She made it behind an undersea mountain nearby and caught her breath.
"Mineiko I'm coming to help," Rei yelled. She was about to burst from the shield when Katana held her back
"It's too dangerous," Katana said
"But..." Rei stammered
"She can't even get close to him as long as he has those spikes," Akina stated
************* In Koenma's office*******
"Oh it doesn't look good for Mineiko," Koenma said. The man was watching the action on his omni screen.
"No they can't lose already. It's only the first monster," Kita said
***********Back at the battle************
"Come out come out wherever you are," Nami said as he searched for Mineiko." Well no matter then I'll just force you. Water, boil!" he commanded
The water temperature began to rise.
"He's controlling the water," Akina observed
"That's a good trick," Botan said then she hit what looked like a record icon on the computer.
"What are you doing," Rei asked
"I'm recording this so I can burn to a power disk later and upload the power to
Mineiko," Botan explained. Outside the water was now approaching 80 Celsius.
"I've got to
do something or we'll be cooked," Mineiko thought.
She then formed the spirit sword and made it slightly longer. She launched it toward Nami like a harpoon.
"What?" Nami said as he narrowly dodged the sword." So little one you are smarter than you look," he cackled.
"Yes I distracted him!" Mineiko thought
"I won't be so careless again. Smoke screen!" Nami commanded
A cloud of thick black smoke surrounded Nami, blocking him from Mineiko's view.
"Now what?" Mineiko wondered silently
"Mineiko use your ESP. Try and sense where he is." Botan advised
"How?" Mineiko yelled
"Concentrate." Botan commanded
Mineiko thought hard and then she felt Nami's youki at the far left of the cloud. She lifted her sword and lunged at where she sensed where Nami was. She put all her power into a slash. The ink began to clear.
"Alright!" Rei cheered. Mineiko had sliced Nami in two.
"Yeah! That's my sister," Yuki rooted
"Whew!" Mineiko sighed as she swam to the bottom and rested.
********Back in Koenma's office********
"That was so cool!" Kita said
"I'll admit that was rather impressive," Koenma said
"Right Sir!" Replied a blue demon
"George what are you doing here?" Koenma asked the blue oni
"Well sir I was .." George stammered
"Shouldn't you be doing laundry?" Koenma said tersely
"Ah! Yes sir I'll get right on it," George said and ran from the room
"I don't remember George having laundry duty," Kita stated
"He doesn't. I just wanted to get my laundry done," Koenma replied winking at Kita
*********Back In Nami's undersea dimension******
"I won!" Mineiko smiled giving the group a victory sign
"Ha fool!" Nami said
"What? But I killed you." Mineiko said turning around
Mineiko saw that the two halves of Nami were wiggling and growing. Out of the jelly-like blobs tentacles were sprouting out. Soon The two haves had regenerated into two full squids.
"I can regenerate. So slash me all you like," Nami replied coldly
"Uh oh" Mineiko gulped
"Tentacle spike," The two Namis said at the same time and once again huge spikes emerged from their slimy red flesh. They lunged at Mineiko. She avoided the first Nami but the second Nami slashed her on the arm. Pain shot up Mineiko's arm as she felt the poison begin to take effect. She tried not to wince.
"You're becoming a nuisance, but this should make it interesting. Whirlpool attack!" Nami commanded. The two Namis began to spin around and the water started to spin around faster and faster. A whirlpool formed and began to suck in Mineiko.
"Ah!" Mineiko screamed as she dug her nails into a nearby rock. She held on for dear life but the force of the whirlpool began to overpower her. She was sucked into the whirlpool. Mineiko was then thrown back-first into a large rock.
"Ow!" Mineiko thought, "Oh no!" She said noticing her oxygen tank, "My oxygen tube has been cut!" She tried to get up but her legs would not support her.
"One down five to go," Nami said as he advanced toward the bubble where Rei and the others were floating.
'No!" Mineiko tried to scream but water filled her mouth. Anger welled up in her heart as she watched Nami lift his tentacle to pop the bubble. She used her strength to stand and put her hand over the wound in her arm. Suddenly, Mineiko's spirit energy flared up around her and she fired at the two Namis. A bright light flashed from Mineiko and spread for miles. Then the poison and lack of oxygen got to her and she fainted.
************Later*******
"Mineiko wake up," Yuki said concerned
"Uh. What happened? The last thing I remember I was battling a squid?" Mineiko said as she came to. She noticed that she was back in the empty entrance room.
"You fired all your spirit energy all at once and beat Nami. According to my friend, Hinageshi, your father managed to use that attack once too." Botan explained
"You were so cool sis. You had me worried though. When Nami poisoned you I was sure you were a goner. Good thing Botan had some antidote with her." Yuki stated
'Well I just packed all the potions I could find when I heard we were going up against the guard beast," Botan replied blushing. A thud from the floor above them caught the group's attention. Mineiko suddenly noticed that Akina was missing.
"Where is Akina?" Mineiko asked
"She insisted the rest of us stay and watch over you and went to fight the next beast alone" Katanna explained
"We better get up there." Rei said anxiously
The group hurried to the stairs and quickly rushed to the second floor.
Okay well that was chapter 3. I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho. Also the group was protected from Mineiko's attack because of Yuki's shield. Thank you for reading this and please review. If you already have reviewed I thank you. I'm open to suggestions so feel free to post those. I hope you had fun reading this and I'll try to get chapter 4 up soon. Since I'm at back at school it will probably take quite awhile. Daughters of the Reikai Tantei is a really big project. Any questions, comments, or concerns can be sent to Nkitpanich@msn.com Sayonara
