Kage Blade: I was hoping I could make this fanfic longer but I have martial art studies so this'll be the last chapters. There'll be a sequel in another month. So I thank those who have read this fanfic.
"Ren, Master Ren," Sui called. Her attempts of waking Ren up were futile. "Please wake up?" Ren rolled off to the side. Sui sighed with relief as she stood up. She looked out the window. Yoh and Anna were kissing on the balcony with the light from the moon shining down on the two. Stars decorated their scenario beautifully. Sui smiled faintly at the sight. She could hear Hao and Lyserg arguing in the backroom.
"Sui?" Ren asked rubbing his eyes. He yawned deeply then asked, "What are you looking at?" Sui placed a finger on her lips and pointed out the window. While Ren was staring out the window Sui looked at the clock.
"Ne, Ren, Happy Birthday," Sui murmured while hugging him from behind. The clocks in the room rang signalling it was 12 o'clock.
"Uh...Ah...A...Ar...A-arigatou," Ren replied almost at a lost for words. Sui closed her eyes, her head rested on his shoulder.
"I should have returned to my hotel," Sui said releasing Ren. Ren turned around.
"Uh... Thanks for coming to my birthday party," Ren said. Sui smiled happily.
"This is your first birthday party isn't it?" Sui asked. Ren nodded stiffly. "I had a wonderful time."
"Besides being locked up here for the entire party?" Ren asked.
"Personally I enjoyed it," Sui whispered to Ren a playful grin danced upon her face.
"Um....," Ren muttered embarrassed. Sui lied back propped up against the wall right next to the door.
"I wonder when their going to let us out," Sui pondered. Ren knocked on the door.
"Yoh! Hao! Horo Horo!" Ren shouted. Horo Horo snored in response. "Hao!?" But only recieved a growl, "Shut up if you don't want to be burned alive!!!"
"I think he's mad at Lyserg," Sui told Ren. Ren sweatdropped.
"Why?"
"They've been shouting and arguing for the past 2 hours," Sui piped. There was a sudden knock on the door.
"Is this the room?" A familiar voice questioned.
"Yea," Horo Horo's voice replied. The door knob turned and someone walked in with Yoh.
"Hey, do you remember him? It's Silva," Yoh said. Sui cocked her head to the left confused.
"Are you Sui Ming?" Silva questioned. Sui bobbed her head up and down.
"Um they're starting the Shaman Fights again same place. Silva needs to test Sui," Anna explained from the doorway.
"Um test?" Sui repeated.
"It's so you can participate in the Shaman Fights," Silva said.
"What's a Shaman Fight?" Sui asked.
"You don't know?" Silva asked. Sui shook her head. "Well.... Yoh will explain later. All you have to do it land 1 blow on me and that's it."
"Oh ok," Sui murmured. "In that case I need Soujirou and my Kikuichimonji Norimune." Anna left to release Soujirou and retrive the sword.
"Thank you," Sui said as they undid her bonds to Ren. Soujirou floated next to her.
"10 minutes," Silva announced. "It'll start whenever you try to attack." His familars started appearing.
"Feathers, a piece of a shell, a horn, a jaw, and a femur," Sui whispered. "Oh I get it now! It's about symbols. A snake's symbol is it's fangs. A wolf's is it's leg. A bull his horn. A bird feathers. And a turtle it's shell. A samurai his sword."
"She solved it easily didn't she?" Silver Wing said.
"Sharp eyes," Silva murmured.
"Hm... can we say she already passed?" Silver Wing asked.
"Integrate," Sui said. Soujirou appeared in the sword.
"Good job, you probably have the most mana," Silva said and gathered his things and left.
"What exactly is this?" Sui asked holding her newly won orcale bell.
"It'll tell you when your next fight is," Manta replied. Sui slid the orcale bell on. Mrs. Ming suddenly burst into the room.
"Shuei!" Mrs. Ming shouted in her hands was a small buddle of clothes. "I made you a few uniforms for the Shaman Fight ago, here." Then handed the buddle of clothes to her.
Patch Village
"I thought that since they were already tested for the previous Shaman fight that they shouldn't have to retake a test that they passed so many years ago. So I just tested this Sui Ming. Here's the info you needed," Silva explained.
"That's understandable," The old chief replied.
"Wow, its great!" Sui exclaimed. Her uniform was black baggy jeans with a chain dangling down with a few strings so she could tie a sword to it. Her top was white dress shirt with two black dragon embrodiery on the back. Both dragons had a rotating motion around the sleeves which ended with two gold dragon bracelets that wrapped protectivly around her wrist then connected to a small gold ring on her pointer finger..
"Yes, I made the complete uniform for you. Your older brother made the gold braclets and ring. There are more uniforms," Mrs. Ming added quickly.
"Really?" Sui asked.
"Yes," Mrs. Ming answered.
"Thank you," Sui said.
"Shuei, may I speak to her alone?" Mrs. Ming asked. The others left the room closing the door behind her. Sui hugged her tightly.
"Thank you," She murmured.
"These are other uniforms you can try on," Mrs. Ming pointed out. Sui grinned and bowed. "Your sword, the Kikuichimonji Norimune, after so many battles the blade began to grow weaker and start to chip. I was wondering if you would like to use another spirit. Like Kunoichi, or Hanzo, even Okuni. Or use them as a back up if your Kikuichimonji Norimune breaks."
"Don't worry!" Sui reassured. "I'll be on my guard! And Soujirou is also the best spirit, my best friend too. So there's nothing to worry about." She gave a reassuring grin.
"Alright then. I wish you the best of luck in the Shaman Tournament,"
"Thanks,"
"Oh right your teacher came by and wanted to speak to you," Mrs. Ming added.
"Teacher?" Sui called peeping her head through the door. "Teacher....Teacher....Teacher..."
"Shuei Lang?" Sui jumped back startled. It was her old teacher.
"Hi teacher," Sui greeted nerivously.
"Shuei Lang, how are you?"
"Fine!" Sui said.
"How have you been? I haven't seen you in years," Her teacher's raspy voice said.
"I'm fine. Um... any reason your here?" Sui questioned. Her teacher placed his hand on his head.
"Yes! Your daggers. You left it at the temple a few years back," Her teacher suddenly said. Sui looked at the daggers in her hand that had a small hole just above the hilt.
"Right!" Sui exclaimed still confused.
"Just do well in the fights. I saw that fight you were in. I was quite disappointed about it,"
"About what?"
"The fight... the stations had to be closed," Her teacher answered.
"Oh...,"
"I hope you won't be doing that so reckless in the next few years," Her teacher scolded. Sui lowered her head slightly. "Well I suppose you should be getting back to prepare for the fights."
"Okay!" Sui said happily. Her teacher placed a gnarled hand on her head.
"Shuei Lang, endure the fights and you'll be rewarded with the greatest prize of all," He murmured. Sui blinked once. Twice then a bright smiled appeared.
"I already have the greatest prize!" Sui said and bowed to her teacher. "Good luck with your next few students."
"Sui?" Ren asked walking into the dining room. A crossbow was suddenly pointed at him. The user of the crossbow sneered at Ren.
"I hate you," The user growled. Ren narrowed his eyes.
"You... your Sui's brother... Fei Long," Ren muttered. Fei Long's eyes were blank in a dark shade of gray. Fei Long began to pull the string back.
"Hold on," A high voice commanded. "That's not your target. Your target is Shuei." Ren turned to look.
"Xian," Ren growled. "What did you do to Fei Long?" Xian held up a small doll that looked exactly like Fei Long.
"I stole his soul. That servant girl and your sister aren't the only Shaman girls here," Xian retorted. "I revealed his true feelings. His hatred towards you."
"Hatred?" Ren asked.
"As you know Shuei isn't Fei Long's true sister. Not officially adpoted either. Fei Long loves little Shuei and hates you for hurting her," Xian answered. "So now we wait for Shuei to come along and get killed by her own brother." Xian started chanting words unknown to Ren. He felt himself freeze in place.
"Uh....This is odd," Sui murmured. Her Kunoichi uniform was a small shoulder armor piece on her left shoulder. Her right wrist to her elbow had another piece of armor. Both her legs were covered in armor. Her chest was protected by a breast plate. She had a fingerless armor on.
"This was worn by the female ninja, Kunoichi," Jun said. "My uncle bought this from a small shop in Japan. Lets see how Ren thinks of it! I think he's in the dining room. Go ask for his opinion while I prepare your other uniforms." Jun looked through the armor stands. Sui walked stiffly to the dining room.
"This seems lighter now," Sui muttered and pushed the dining room doors open. She walked into the middle of the black room. "Where's the light?" The light flickered on. Sui stood in front of Ren and in front of her was her step-brother, who grasped the crossbow tightly in his hands. Suddenly realizing what was happening before her. "Stop it!" Sui shouted lifting her arms up. Fei Long lowered the crossbow.
"You, my own sister (In chapter 10, i realized i typed servant by accident -'. Sorry.) will go against me? I cannot believe this. These people made us do their biddings for years. How can you defend them!?" Fei Long sneered lifting the crossbow again.
"You can't kill your own sister," Ren had heard his own voice but it wasn't him.
"I won't let you kill Ren," Sui said. Fei Long fired the crossbow. It hit Sui's heart though she caught it between her hands it had slid through her fingers and pierced her heart.
"Sui," Ren whispered. Sui fell back into Ren's arms. Her arms fell limply to her side.
Ren's POV
I didn't exactly remember everything from the spell that was placed on me once Xian was forced to remove it. Her father, Zhe She had reported the murder and sent to prison. Fei Long hadn't remembered anything from that night. Jun had Sui wear her Kunoichi uniform. Anna sent all Sui's spirits into Heaven. Sui's skin was never paler when she was in her coffin. Many had come. A group of tennis players from Japan. A never ending smiling one. An emotionless one. A mournering boy with maroon colored hair. Another who conforted the maroon haired one. And a blue hair one who seemed shocked at Sui's death.
"Lian, uncle had a statue made from Sui's grave. It's a statue of an angel, he's asking if you want anything placed on it?" Jun asked.
"A jade lotus necklace," I answered in a quiet voice. Jun gave a small nod. Everything else seemed numb in my mind.
"Ren, Master Ren," Sui called. Her attempts of waking Ren up were futile. "Please wake up?" Ren rolled off to the side. Sui sighed with relief as she stood up. She looked out the window. Yoh and Anna were kissing on the balcony with the light from the moon shining down on the two. Stars decorated their scenario beautifully. Sui smiled faintly at the sight.
