Luna-Blu: Now before you all get your torches and pitch forks...
Guru-Guru: ...remember all we've done to you since we started co-authoring.
done to you?
Guru-Guru: Whatever. Anyway...
Luna-Blu: My mom can't hold a threat.
TK: And she forgot...
Luna-Blu...umm...April Fool's?
Makoto: Ahem...
Guru-Guru: Oh, yeah! A cookie and bonus saltine to El Hustino for figuring out that chapter 18 was this series' 100th chapter! A consolation cookie to Atchika for giving her an unfair advantage!

Rebirth of the Deity

Chapter 19
Day Nine: 10:30 AM
Makoto's POV
Ikana Valley

"Okay, to recap, I lost my damn sword, we're following two damn fairies into the middle of damn nowhere, we've found five damn slabs, and met with a damn ghost?" Yep. Blu was ranting again.
"Blu?" came my sister's voice.
"Hmm?"
"Shut your damn mouth!" screamed Asako.
"Go sis!"
"TOO MUCH 'DAMN'!" Kimiko screamed so loud i fell off her shoulder from the blast.
"Ow..."
"Serves you right."
"Shut up, fox."
"Be nice, you two." Kimiko tried to play peace maker. Yeah, like that would work...
"Bug bitch."
"Demon Shit."
"Annoying psychopath control freak"
"Why thank you."
"WOULD YOU TWO SHUT THE HELL UP?!"
"Ah, I see you're taking the more forceful approach now," I commented.
"Shut up or we will be eating bug tonight."
"Just try to get about without me." Kimiko took a step forward. "Looks like i can get around just fine!" Blu giggled.
"See? No probleeeeeems!" Blu started laughing her ass off as Kimiko tripped and plowed her face into the ground, but was cut short when fire erupted around us.
"What the hell?"
"You living should not be in this land of the deaaaaad!"
"I'll have you know I AM dead." Blu put her hands on her hips.
"Umm....well...YOUR FRIENDS SHOULD NOT BE IN THIS LAND OF THE DEAD!"
"Better."
A hooded ninja popped out of the ground and whipped two katanas out of his long, brown sleeves. "You all must leave this place."
"He doesn't know us very well, does he, Blu?"
"I like that poncho! CAN I HAVE IT?!"
"...down girl."
The Garo charged at the girls, almost knocking them over. "You'll have to do better than that." Kimiko concentrated, and the Garo's own sword left his hand and stabbed him in the back.
"R-regrettable... Although you were my rivals, you were spectacular."
"Thank you."
"What does spectacular mean?"
"Don't hurt yourself, Blu. I'll tell you later."
"Hurt myself how?"
"Never mind..."
"I shall take my bow by opening my heart and revealing my wisdom... The one who has the final key that shall open the door you seek used to reside in the Stone Tower Temple. He was defeated by your father 24 years ago. That is all I know. Belief or disbelief rests with you. To die without leaving a corpse... That is the way of us Garo."
"...eww."
"Blu, shut up."
"Wait! If Twinmold is stuck in a mask, how do we get the slab from him?" But as the words left my mouth, the Garo disappeared in a puff of green smoke and flames.
"NOOOO!!! I WANTED YOUR PONCHO!"
"Let it go, Blu."
"But it was so cooooooool."
"I bet it smelled."
"Duh, he was dead."
"Amazing. Blu didn't pee her pants this time!" Asako flew around her partner. "That's a first."
"SHUT UP!"
"She's right," Kimiko cut in. "You usually run from the dead. Too bad all your enemies don't have 'cool ponchos'."
"SHUT UP!"
"Blu," I interjected, "it is true. You do tend to be sort of a Cucco sometimes..."
"ALL THE TIME!" her fairy once again cut in. Blu grumbled but didn't continue the fight.
"Let's just get moving. It's a long walk to the Stone Tower." As we all found out later, it's an even longer walk in total silence.

Luna-Blu: ...I want his poncho.
TK: They are really cool.
Luna-Blu: Hell yeah.
Guru-Guru: Would you call that a poncho?
Asako: I wouldn't.
Luna-Blu: ...It looks like one to me.
TK: ...I dunno, Blu...
Luna-Blu: SHUT UP!
TK: ...You gonna say it or me?
Luna-Blu: Me, duh!
Luna-Blu: REVIEW!
