Eternal Flame
-Part 4-
Timeless Adventure
My name is Kimiko Kapitanu. I am from the Kingdom of Power. One of the many rebel kingdoms in the world, but the strongest of them all. Kofuru is part of this kingdom. In fact, he is the heir to the throne of power! Now we are on our way to meet with the King of Power. Kofuru's father and mine! I wonder what father would say to Kofuru after all these years.
"Before we leave, we should get a new pair of clothing for the trip." Koneko stated. "Good idea Koneko!" Junji said. "Koneko, may I borrow some clothes from you?" asked Kyoko. "Of course you can!" replied Koneko. "I am going to be needing clothing as well. Kofuru, maybe you would have something I could wear?" asked Junji. "I have something." Replied Kofuru. "Take your time, I will be waiting out side for you guys." Said Kimiko. Koneko and Kyoko went of to Koneko's house for clothes. Kofuru lead Junji into his house and showed him the clothes he could have. "I had this outfit when I was about your height. You can have it now." The shirt was a black old-fashioned Kung Fu shirt. The pants were like they came from India. Except for it had a cape coming from the waist. Said Kofuru. "Really? Thank you very much Kofuru." Said Junji as he bowed in thanks. Junji left to go change into his new clothes.
Junji added to the outfit by putting a belt on that had the Japanese symbol for wind on it. "These fit great." Said Junji. "Kofuru, my thanks again. I will be waiting outside with Kimiko." Junji said. "Ok." Replied Kofuru. Kofuru put on a long sleeved shirt with flames at the end of the sleeves. He had a short-sleeved kung fu shirt over that. He had the same pants as before, but white this time. He put a garb over his shoulders to add to the look. "That looks good enough." Kofuru thought to himself. "Maybe we should bring..." Kofuru thought.
"Here you go Kyoko." Said Koneko. She handed Kyoko a white sleeveless shirt that cut off at the belly button, with a red shorter short-sleeved jacket to put over it. The pants were black with a belt that ironically had the Japanese symbol for lightning. "That looks so cute on you Kyoko!" squealed Koneko. "You think so?" asked Kyoko. "YES!" Koneko. "Not what do you think about this?" asked Koneko. She had on a t-shirt with waves on the front. With a dress with Sakura pedals falling from a tree. "I like that!" said Kyoko. "Ok then! I'll wear it!" Said Koneko. Lets go outside with Kimiko and wait. Koneko and Kyoko headed out to where Kimiko and Junji were standing. The found that Kimiko and Junji were flirting. Majorly flirting! "Ahem." Said Koneko. "Sorry to break up the fun, but we're ready to go!" said Koneko. "Hey where's Kofuru?" asked Kyoko. "I'm not sure. I thought he was right behind me."
Kofuru walked out with weapons galore! "We might need these on the way." Said Kofuru. Kofuru handed two scabbards with scimitars in them. Junji put them over his shoulder and was delighted with his new "TOYS". Then, Kofuru handed Kyoko a spear with lightning going down the staff. "Wow, you are really prepared for everything aren't you?" asked Kyoko. "You can never be to careful." Replied Kofuru. Kofuru then handed Koneko two identical sai's. "I don't fight." Said Koneko. "This is just incase." Said Kofuru. "Whatever." Replied Koneko. Kofuru threw a sword over to Kimiko. "My second best sword. Take care of it...Sis." Said Kofuru. Everyone froze. They were speechless about what Kofuru just said. He had never shown any care for someone like that.
Kofuru didn't pay attention to the mindless stares being given by everybody. He just adjusted his weapons. He had a sword the he tied behind his waist. Then stuck on two straps around his waist and inserted two daggers into them. "We ready?" asked Kofuru. "Yes we are!" everyone yelled. "Not yet." Said Kimiko. She walked over to Kofuru. "I have to give this to you before I forget." Said Kimiko. She held out a sword that looked like fire was coming out of the hilt. "This sword was given to me when I first started looking for you by our father. He said 'If you ever find Kofuru, give him this sword. It is the sword given to me by my father before I came king. Now I am giving it to him. If you do find him, give it to him.' And I will not let father down." Kimiko said. "So here, take the Sword of the Heirs of Power. Its yours now." Kimiko got on one knee and handed the sword to Kofuru.
Kofuru was speechless as he took the sword and tied it behind his waist above his other sword. "Thank you Kimiko." Said Kofuru. "Now lets go." Every one headed out. "Hey! Now that we have time," said Kyoko; "Should we teach Koneko the arts of the mages?" asked Kyoko. "That's a great idea Kyoko." Said Junji. "I'm ready for it." Said Koneko. Kyoko and Junji start explaining the arts of the mages to Koneko. "Well, I suppose I should talk to you about finding your other powers." Said Kimiko. "Sure." Said Kofuru. "Ok," said Kyoko, "The main thing is to just relax. But you don't always find your new power by relaxing. You mostly have to be in the moment to find that power. It will come naturally when you have achieved that power." "So mostly getting really pissed in a fight will do the trick. And not all the time, but sometimes just relax and it will come?" asked Kofuru. "Well when you are really pissed, the power will come naturally. But when you are relaxing, it is not so natural. It turns on and off, but as soon as you know how to harness that power, you will be able to use it whenever you feel."
"So I am just going to relax on this journey and find me a new power!" said Kofuru. "You do that now." Said Kimiko. "I am going to go see what Junji is doing. Oh, Kyoko and Koneko as well." "Whatever." Said Kofuru. The kept walking down an endless road. "So Junji, what are you doing?" asked Kimiko. "I am assisting Koneko in the Arts of the Mages." Said Junji. "How's it going with Kofuru?" asked Junji. "He is not the brother I expected he would be. But he will do. He is now trying to get himself a new power." Said Kimiko. "That's good." Replied Junji. All of a sudden a huge rock exploded in front of them. "What the hell was that?!" asked Kimiko. "I am not sure, but I'm guessing it doesn't want to be friends." Said Kofuru, sword's drawn. "Ha ha ha." A mysterious voice coming from the smoke. "You wouldn't think I'd let you go back to you precious Kingdom of Power did you?" Said the voice. "Show yourself!" demanded Kyoko, spear in hand. Junji drew his scimitars and Kyoko drew her sword.
Koneko sat there with no clue in the world. "If you insist." Said the voice. A fairly tall man stepped out of the dust. He was wearing just a t- shirt and blue jeans. "Who are you?!" insisted Kimiko. "Well if you must know. My name is Gonkuro. And I am a rebel of the earth, but I come from the Kingdom of Hate. I will not allow you to pass!" yelled Gonkuro. "Well then, we'll just have to force our way past you then, now won't we." Said Kofuru with a smirk on his face. "I would like to see you try!" laughed Gonkuro. Gonkuro summoned up a giant boulder from the earth and hurled it towards Kimiko. Kimiko ran towards the boulder ready to break it. But Gonkuro summoned a rock up out if the ground in front of her. Kimiko tripped and fell to the ground. "No!" yell Junji. Junji jumped in front of the boulder and shattered it with a mighty blow of his scimitars.
"Trying to hit someone while there down?! You are an un-honorable man! And for that, I SHALL MAKE YOU PAY!" yelled Junji. Junji lunged towards Gonkuro and threw a tornado at him. Gonkuro summoned up a rock wall to block the attack. Junji broke through the wall with one scimitar and attempted to hit Gonkuro with the other. Gonkuro dodged the attack, and kicked Junji up into the air. Gonkuro jumped above Junji and punched hit to the ground. Junji landed at Kimiko's feet. "Junji!" yelled Kimiko. "You will pay for what you have done!" yelled Kimiko and threw a tidal wave at Gonkuro. Gonkuro raised up a giant rock wall again. But this time Kyoko added to the tidal wave by making it a giant wave of pure electricity. The blast still did not penetrate the wall. "Ha ha ha!" laughed Gonkuro. "You think a wave of electricity could break solid rock?" "Water can't. But fire can!" yelled Kofuru.
Kofuru threw a giant fireball at the wall and broke it with easy. The blast broke through the wall and hit Gonkuro. Gonkuro flew back and hit the ground hard. Gonkuro got up weakly and said, "That really hurt!" Gonkuro yelled. Gonkuro threw a giant boulder at Kofuru. Kofuru broke it with ease, but was surprised to find another boulder after it. Kofuru had no time to retaliate and break the second boulder. The boulder broke inches from Kofuru. He saw a sai hit the ground. He looked over at Koneko. "I cannot stand to see anymore people get hurt!" said Koneko. "Lets beat this guy together!" yelled Koneko. "Right." Everyone said. The four of them surrounded Gonkuro. "Everyone! Focus your power on Gonkuro. Hit him with full force!" Yelled Kyoko. Everybody pointed their palms towards Gonkuro. "What's this? You think four people can beat me?! You make me laugh!" laughed Gonkuro.
"Five!" Yelled Junji. Junji pointed his palms towards the sky. "I will not let you win!" yelled Junji. "Kofuru, Kyoko! Over here!" Kofuru and Kyoko jumped to the side of Junji. "Merge our attacks! NOW!!" yelled Junji. "We will make the new attack... BLAZING THUNDER TORNADO!" yelled Junji. "Now summon your attacks and get ready to merge!" "What's this?! Merging attacks? How can that be? "BLAZING... INFERNO!" "STATIC... THUNDER!" "MINDLESS... TORNADO!" "MERGE!" yelled Kofuru. "BLAZING... THUNDER... TORNADO!" All three of them yelled. And they shot their attack towards Gonkuro. It hit. Gonkuro was sent flying back. "That... was...not how... I planned... this fight." Said Gonkuro weakly. "We shall meet again!" and Gonkuro summoned a portal and jumped in. Junji fell to the ground.
"JUNJI!" yelled both Kyoko and Kimiko. Kimiko was the first at his side. She put his head in her lap. "Junji? Can you hear me?" asked Kimiko. "Kyoko! Can't you do something?!" yelled Kimiko. "There is nothing I can do. My mage powers don't work alone. We share the power. So we both have to use it at the same time. Not separately." Replied Kyoko. "I can do something." Said Kofuru. Kofuru walked to Junji and kneeled at his side. Kimiko held Junji's hand tight. Kofuru held his hand over Junji's head. A bright light emitted from Kofuru's hand. Just then, Junji woke. "Your OK!" yelled Kyoko. "Thank the gods!" said Koneko. Kimiko stared at Kofuru. She had tears in her eyes. You have done it Kofuru. You have unlocked the rebel power of healing. And you used it to heal Junji. For that, I am grateful." Said Kimiko.
"I thought warriors don't cry." Asked Kofuru. "Well I guess I am not a warrior then." Replied Kimiko. "You really care for me?" asked Junji with a smile. "Yes. I do care for you Junji." Replied Kimiko. Kimiko and Junji kissed. Kyoko, Koneko, and Kofuru turned away in disgust. "Koneko. Where did you learn to fight?" asked Kyoko. "Well. I used to be a fighter. I fought many battles. But one day I was forced to kill one of my friends who were under a spell. After that day, I vowed never to fight again." Replied Koneko. "So you knew how to fight this whole time?!" asked Kofuru. "Well, yes." Replied Koneko. "Well that's a relief. Now I don't have to save your butt all the time!" said Kofuru. "Hey just because I used my fighting skill once does not mean I am going to break my vow! I will only fight when I have to." Said Koneko. "Well, lets keep moving. We are close to the kingdom. We should reach it in about a day or two." Said Kimiko.
"Alright lets head out then." Said Kofuru. Kofuru sheathed his swords. Kyoko picked up here spear and placed it back on her back. Koneko picked up her sai and put it away. Junji picked up his scimitars and sheathed them. He picked up Kimiko's sword and handed it to her. "Here." Said Junji. "Thanks." Replied Kimiko as she took the sword and sheathed it. "Lets go." Said Kimiko. She held Junji's hand and the group ventured onward.
"Kimiko. I shall have you to be my bride!" said Gonkuro. "I will dispose of that weak fool Junji so you can have a stronger husband. ME!" Gonkuro laughed evilly. "I will do what ever it takes to ruin this relationship between them!"
