"Lord Bunchu," the Gyushu lord bowed deeply to the three-eyed warlord, "I am here to serve..."
There was a sneer, "I do not tolerate sycophants or spies... what does the lord of trade want?"
"You suspect us, you really suspect us."
"Of course. But IF I had proof, you would be houshined. What do you want?""
"What everybody wants – money, power, and respect. You, the demons in India, the horse headed rebels, that scientist Nii, or So Dakki... it really does not matter..."
"You have no scruples then..."
"Yes, we freely admit it, we never said we are honorable, so what can we do for you..."
"Curl up in a corner and die, your kind is why the Yin is failing. Opportunists like you give us a bad name," he clutched his ship glancing at the smiling fool in the distance, "If you really want to do something... I can think of something for you..."
Normally, such a simple tactic would not play out. It actually worked!
Some would say it was because the Sanzo group was working independently trying to get back on track for India, Taikoubou had one of his own miracle strategies, or the horse-demons just stretched their supply-lines too long.
No matter what, Tails pounced down in joy right on top of Nataku, "We have finished our dream for now... my world is safe, your still isn't, Li No-Cho... It is soo good that my plan actually worked!"
"You bitch!"
A shout, "You ruined everything!"
The frosty scientist stuck at her right through the broad-mouthed goblin, "You did this! You ruined everything!"
"Xi!"
A sob as the wolf-woman got off the boy in red, "You killed my friend! You killed my pack-mate!"
"Oh... I am sorry, you must go too, Pets should not live longer than their masters..."
"I am called Tails, I am the Wolf of the Earth, all things of that element from Mount Meru, the mystical peak on whose back sits Shangri-La, to the Jusinkyo, with its cursed springs..."
"You are very brave..."
Xi clutched his claw to the wolf's thigh for the last time...
The two fought, the scientist demonstrated that she was not just a pretty face...
Dakki smiled at the fight and that she did not have to pay Nii Prajana for the object she sent Kibi for, "A real pity she never found the fox that killed her daughter..."
"Your mind is more twisted than words..."
Smile
"Come on, Bunchu-chan, you are no different than I. You use any means necessary, and besides I already know that Tails will spare her and go and find that orphan..."
"What!"
"Because it has been whispered," her demon eyes flashed, "That either the father of Sun Tsu, the famed author of The Art of War, or the inventor of gunpowder was raised by a she-wolf... The Art of War was written sometime during the Spring and Autumn Period... long after my cute little Taikoubou-chan's death. Gunpowder soon followed in the time of the First Emperor of the Chin, the origin for the western word of "China."
"You really get everything you want, mendacious she-bitch..."
"So will you and Tails' sister ... for this seems like the perfect ending for the story... it is not... things must be properly resolved..."
