Chapter 5: The Final Battle

Emiko had walked outside to find it had stopped raining. She knew the only way of finding Leo was to follow the crimson butterflies. To her luck Leo was ready to make the transition from one world to another so you can imagine how man crimson butterflies where flying throughout the streets right now. Emiko had already started following the crimson cloud. Upon doing so she had decided to look through the view finder to see what the butterflies looked like in there. It was quit the site when she saw hundreds of humans running to there destination instead of butterflies. They where all beaten or torn though. Some had missing arms and others with weak legs. One had a missing eye in which his eye lid was shone shut.

Emiko continued to follow the crowd until it had brought her to a large temple like building. While the butterflies flew right into the walls of the building. Emiko had entered the large wooden doors. Inside was a very large room filled with crimson butterflies. In the center stood Leo with a grin on his face. He still had his white hair and glowing red eyes, but now in his right hand he held a long green thorny whip and upon the end of the handle was a red rose.

"That's quit the tool you have there" Emiko said smiling.

Leo laughed in deep tones then looked down at the camera

"Same goes for yourself"

"Hope you came prepared because I don't do retakes"

Leo looked at her with determination.

"I'm always prepared my love"

"Won't be your love for long"

"Not if I can help it"

So with that Leo raised his whip in the air shooting it towards Emiko. She quickly jumped back just in the nick of time. She began to run to the left causing butterflies to go into scatters. Hopefully it would confuse Leo. She then raised the camera for a shot, but it was to late, Leo was already out of focus.

He took another lash at her but she quickly ducked causing the whip to hit the wall behind her. She then ran towards him knocking him to the ground. She once again raised the camera to her eye to take the shot, but he quickly tripped her. Causing her to fall to the ground.

Luckily for her she still had the camera in hand. He then whipped towards her, but she rolled to the left just in time. Getting back up another hit came towards her as she once again ducked. Like all the other rooms with in the village this one was not much different, it was crap and had plenty of loose wood. Over to Emiko's right a medium sized wooden block from the ceiling laid on the ground.

Emiko ran to it picking it up. She then noticed the loose chandelier on the ceiling right above Leo. She quickly tossed the block up into the air watching it hit the chandelier. As Emiko planed, it fell on top of Leo causing him to fall flat on his face. Now Emiko knew it wouldn't kill him, he was a spirit after all; but as she planned the whip was out of grasp.

She walked up to his body as he slowly raised his head looking up at her.

"Say cheese!" Emiko said with a smile as she took the picture.

A yell could be heard quit loud as all the butterflies went flying out to there homes and normal selves. As for Leo he began to fade into the nothing he always was.

Emiko smiled with satisfaction and made her way outside. It was day time and there where a few people waiting for her out at the door. There stood Alex, Lola, Ash and Brit. They where all smiling with one another.

"Hey thanks" Ash said.

"Always glad to help." Emiko said with a smile.

"I guess your on your way?" Brit asked.

"Yep got to go home and get my homework done."

They all laughed hugged and said there good byes. As Emiko left the village and made her way home.

That was the last time Emiko decided to walk home.
