Chapter 8

Disclaimer: The world will bow to me someday and I will own this, but for now, I don't own it at all.

Trillium: Girl, that was lame.

Dragonheart: Was not!

Trillium: Baka, get to my fight scene.

Dragonheart: All right! All right! Don't be so pushy!

Trillium: Who's pushy?! You better make it good.

Dragonheart: When has it not been good?!

Trillium: *coughs* Not saying a word.

Dragonheart: Good, that's what I thought, now keep it that way and Tyreal will live.

Trillium: You do anything to my precious and I swear I'll....

Dragonheart: Now you got me thinking all sorts of random things. Cupcakes being stuffed down my throat and pouring rubbing alcohol on a rugburn...

Trillium: Not soysauce?

Dragonheart: Soysauce really hurts! *pauses* This is all your fault.

Trillium: You're the one who asked for the sugar.

Dragonheart: That was last night!

Trillium: Good things come to those who wait.

Dragonheart: Or not at all.

Trillium: I've taught you well.

Dragonheart: Vader.

Trillium: Now THERE'S a Bishie.

Dragonheart: Ewwww.

Trillium: What are you talking about? That black armour! And that voice! *fans herself*

Dragonheart: -_-' And that pasty bald head.

Trillium: Mmmm

Dragonheart: O.O I did not need to hear that!

Trillium: Post the chapter already.

Dragonheart: As you wish Trillium-sama *bows*

Trillium: That's more like it. *nods approvingly*

Dragonheart: This chapter was made possible by Sailor Kagome.

The bishies made quite a mess of the Taco Bell. Between the cheese fights and the lettuce tossing, they had quite a time, that is, before they got kicked out. "I'm so ashamed.", Isolde moaned, "Kicked out of a Taco Bell...I didn't even get to do anything!" Tokaki slipped his arm around her shoulder,

"There, there darling. You can kicked outta the next joint."

"Really?" Isolde asked with stars in her eyes.

"Really, really," Tokaki said.

"Really, really, really?" Isolde asked.

Tokaki slapped her upside the head, "Stop it!"

Angela looked on jealously, "I wish my guys would do that with me."

Amiboshi looked at her strangely, "You want me to hit you on the head?"

"No!" Angela replied, "Hug me."

Amiboshi looked scared and looked around wildly for some place to escape to. *GLOMP!* Angela grabbed her bishie in an impressive hug. "No! Help!"

"I'll be glad to assist," Tomo said with an evil grin.

"Ack! Someone else help me!" Amiboshi cried. Miroku helped the distraught bishie by prying Angela off using his staff as a crowbar.

Aya eyed Tomo uncertainly, "Does he?...."

"No," answered Isolde quickly, "Well, at least not often." Aya attempted not to look sick.

Chichiri surprised everyone by falling down. "Chichiri! Are you ok?!" Risika said anxiously.

Isolde whispered to Aya, "You don't think he understood what we were talking about?"

Aya whispered back, "I'm not sure I know what we were talking about."

Chichiri looked at the girls as if they might be dangerous, "Ano...I just tripped no da." Isolde facevaulted.

They walked onwards towards the arena when the sounds of some sort of riot up ahead of them. Some people ran pasts them saying, "It's an all out bishie fight!"

"Alright!" yelled Isolde, Aya, and their bishies. "Come on, let's go!" Isolde said grabbing Aya.

The two ran down the street Isolde slowed down to watch but Aya yelled, "What are you doing?! Let's go!" and dragged Isolde into the fight. Isolde and Aya's bishies also entered the fight while the other trainers sat back to watch the fun.

Cherry checked Tasuki's ball and suddenly realized he was coming out! "Oh shit!" she exclaimed as Tasuki popped out, saw the fight, and was in it in a flash.

Fire, ice, magic, and flowers were flying everywhere as the bishies and two trainers fought for the heck of it. Soon a the fight calmed down and it became a sort of mini-tournament to see who was stronger than who. A circle arena was made and in the center, Isolde's Tokaki-san and a Legolas-san had a showdown. "Tokaki no baka! What the hell do you think you're doing!" Isolde yelled angrily.

Tokaki gave her the peace sign, "Showing off, babe, what's it look like?"

Isolde sighed, "You are going to be the death of me, sweetie. Look at this, I have a grey hair," she pointed to a single strand of grey.

"Actually, that's my hair," Tokaki said, "And it's SILVER! SILVER! Not grey!"

"Quit acting like a bloody Hotohori and fight me!" Legolas commanded.

"Look kid, you are in such hot water now, so shut up!" Tokaki sneered.

"Bite me," Legolas said.

Isolde's Tomo whistled.

"What' he doing?" Legolas asked now scared.

"That's not the best thing to say in a certain person's company. Tomo! Quit tramatizing the child!" Isolde commanded.

"A child?! I am no child!" Legolas yelled angrily then shot an arrow at Tokaki.

Tokaki teleported out of harm's way and behind the elven archer and grabbed him in a headlock and proceeded to give him a noogie.

Tomo got this very evil grin on his face and started to sneak up behind them both when Isolde threw one of her boots at him. "None of that now!" Isolde warned, "Well, not in public anyways."

The crowd broke up a few minutes later when the Legolas's trainer rescued him from Tokaki's teasing. "I do NOT nance," Legolas pouted. Tomo was staring at Legolas with a hungry look on his face. Isolde did as well but then caught herself, "Whoah, whoah! Tomo! Get that look off your face! That's it! Return Tomo!" Tomo disappeared into his ball.

Tokaki stared at her, "You never put us in your ball....unless you are really, really, really mad like you were last week when you put us all in...," he trailed off and then started begging, "Please, please, please, momma can I stay out and watch the fight?"

"Fine. But behave yourself! Get your hand off my ass!" Isolde commanded.

"That girl has an odd relationship with her bishies,' a random person muttered.

The trainers got back together. "So now can we go to the gym?" asked Anastasia.

"Oh yeah! I almost forgot!" said Isolde.

Aya facevaulted.

"Let's go!" said Isolde hyperly and ran down the street to the gym.

*&*&*&*&*& In the Gym *&*&*&*&*&*&*

The trainers stood apart on opposite ends of the arena and stared across. "Uh, oh!" Isolde said.

"What?" asked Tokaki.

"I forgot to ask which bishie she's using!"

Aya shouted from across the room, "I will be using Sesshoumaru-sama! Sesshoumaru come forth!" The beautiful yokai exited his ball with the grace of a ballet dancer. (Trillium: Wow... he's so pretty. Dragonheart: Want your drool bucket? Trillium: Please. I have SOME control, unlike you when you see Amiboshi-chan. Dragonheart: Ami...*hyperventelates.)

Isolde said, "Wow, this is gonna be a good. I can tell." Isolde called out, "I will be using.... *dramatic pause while Aya looks at her curiously* "Tyreal-sama! Tyreal, come out!" She shook the ball, "Come out already!"

Tyreal abruptly came out. "Yes, my Lady?" the Archangel asked patiently.

Isolde smiled at him."There. Your opponent is there. Go get him tiger."

Tyreal looked across the arena and said, "A demon," as a low growl escaped him. He drew his sword and a blue-white concentration aura surrounding him as he waited for the signal to begin.

Angela who was yet again appointed refree said in a tiny voice, "Begin," then she ran for dear life for the upper benches of the arena to watch.

Tokaki looked at Isolde, "Did you know he was a demon?"

"Yeah, I think so...why?" Isolde asked.

"Do you think it's wise to send an archangel against a demon lord?" Tokaki asked Isolde worriedly.

"What do ya mean?" Isolde frowned.

"It's just...I don't think they're gonna hold back. They might break the bonds of blood that the Bishies are bound to," Tokaki told Isolde.

"Should we stop it?" Isolde asked panicked.

"I don't think we can...they have already begun," Tokaki said as a blast of poison from Sesshoumaru's claws flashed by them to melt the wall behind them.

"Ah!" Isolde screamed and Tokaki grabbed her and teleported for the upper benches where it was relativly safe compared to where they had just been.

Tyreal retaliated by using zeal to power up his sword and he slashed the demon lord across his torso. Sesshoumaru just shrugged the blow aside and attacked again with his poison talons.

Angela whimpered a little and Miroku asked her, "Are you scared? Feel free to hold my hand."

Angela grabbed his hand and held it tightly while the monk had a blissful look on his face.

Tokaki watched Angela and Miroku with a semi-smile on his face, he turned to Isolde and asked, "Are YOU scared? Would you like to hold MY hand?"

Isolde promptly glomped him. "Air...Air...Breathe...Please..," Tokaki gasped.

Aya was fuming, "Stupid wench, why didn't she TELL me he was an archangel?! Thanks goodness Sess-chan has had experience with angels before." Aya saw a holy bolt coming her way and jumped aside out of it's path.

"That wouldn't have hurt you ya know," Kurama said to her, "It only works against demons and undead."

"Get. Me. To. Her," Aya said angrily pointing at Isolde.

"As you wish," Kurama said.

The fighting in the arena was getting even more intense. Sesshoumaru was using his boa as a sort of sheild to keep Tyreal's wings from hitting him as he waited for an opening. Tyreal meanwhile was getting more and more frustrated as his attacks were be deflected.

Angela said, "You guys, look at that!" All the trainers and bishies saw the blue-white glow that Tyreal had had surrounding him had been replaced by a gold and crimson glow.

"What does that mean?" Cherry asked.

"Fanatism, he's gonna get even faster and do more damage. But his defense will go down drastically," Isolde said in a flat tone, "He's losing control. We are doomed."

Aya reached Isolde then. "You idiot! What the hell were you thinking?!" Aya said angrily.

"I'm sorry! Most bishies are human! I never dreamed it would make a difference! It's not you told ME you were using a demon!" Isolde defended herself, "Besides...I have a plan."

"What?" asked Aya.

"Um..I was just gonna pop him back into his ball and then let him out later somewhere he can't do as much damage," Isolde said.

"That might actually work. I'll let you do it first though," Aya replied.

"Guys. Look," Tokaki said flatly.

The trainers turned and saw Sesshoumaru's features were changing...his fangs grew longer, his eyes were crimson, basically, he was turning into his true form. "Whoah," Angela said and squeezed Miroku's hand tighter. Sesshoumaru hit Tyreal once and the archangel went flying through most of the lower benches below the trainers.

Tyreal rose, pointed his sword at Sesshoumaru, and stated in a booming voice, "I will NOT be defeated by you!" He pointed his sword straight up above his head and shouted, "Fist of the Heavens!" The ceiling fell in pieces as a lightning bolt crashed through and hit Sesshoumaru. Holy bolts by the dozens swarmed from around the archangel and struck the demon with such force that it sent him through the other benches and the wall beyond. Sesshoumaru rose.

"I think this has to end NOW!" Isolde said and she took her ball out and shouted, "Tyreal...return!"

The archangel was taken into the ball. Sesshoumaru holwed as his prey disappeared and lept towards Isolde's hand. Aya took out her ball hastily and commanded, "Sesshoumaru return!" Sesshoumaru disappeared into his ball. The trainers sank down into the stadium benches with relief.

"Thank heavens that's over," Angela said, "Now, how do we get down?"

The trainers all turned and looked at Tokaki. "Here I come to save the day!" Tokaki sang.

"I knew letting him watch the Cartoon Network was a baaaaad idea," Isolde muttered shaking her head.

Tokaki took the trainers down to the arena and they stood and looked around. "Whoah, that's alot of damage," Isolde said looked at the gym that was in shambles.

The owner of the gym came towards them and shouted, "What were you THINKING?! A demon lord and an archangel duel in MY GYM?!"

The two trainers started bowing saying, "Gomen, gomen, we'll pay for the damage!"

"You'd better!" the gym owner said angrily.

The girls paid the man and got out of there as quickly as possible. "Oh man, that was unbelievable!" gushed Risika.

Isolde and Aya stopped and glared at her. "Do you realize how much damage could have been done?" Isolde said coldly.

"One or both of them could have DIED!" Aya stated just as coldly.

"And you think it was....fun?" Isolde gritted her teeth.

Risika took a few steps back and held up her hands, "Uh, uh, no no that's not what I meant!"

"Good," Isolde said.

The trainers and bishies reached their hotels and went directly to their rooms to rest, except for Isolde and Aya who stopped by the front desk to ask if any messages had come for her.

Aya after checking her messages, went to Angela and Cherry's room. She knocked on the door and it was promptly opened by Amiboshi. "Hi. I want to speak to Angela and Cherry," Aya said. "Come on in!'" Angela called from her chair. Aya walked in and said, "Heya, Isolde asked me to tell you that she'll meet you tommorow at the gym for training. And then what is really weird is that she grabbed her Hikitsu ran off shouting something about the 'Little Mermaid.' Do you know what she was talking about?" Aya said.

"No..," Angela replied, "I wonder what she could have meant?"

Meanwhile across the town in a Hilton, (A/N: Super nice hotel for all who don't know.) Isolde had grabbed a dark haired, violet eyed girl in a hug. "Ariel! It's so good to see you!" Isolde cried.

Ariel smiled and hugged her back, "Yeah! It's good to see you too!"

Meanwhile Tomite and Hikitsu were exchanging greetings and a more dignified handshake. "Hey, whatcha been up to lately? Had any good duels lately?" Ariel asked her friend.

Isolde sweatdropped, "Ano.."

After she finished telling Ariel the events of the afternoon, Ariel whistled. "Wow. You're pretty lucky!" was all Ariel said.

"Yeah," Isolde sighed, "I'm in serious need of some R&R."

"You look like you need it," Ariel agreed, "Wanna catch a quick bite before you go back to your hotel?"

"Sure," replied Isolde, "Got any place in mind?"

"Yeah, there's this great resteraunt called Coze's, it's Itallian and has great cappicinoes," Ariel said, "You bringing any of your bishies?"

"Sure. I'm gonna take Hikitsu, Bakura, Seto, and Marik," Isolde answered.

"Oh! You got a Seto?!" Ariel asked surprised.

"Yeah, he's great! I give him my money, and he invests it, and then suddenly I got a whole bunch back!" Isolde said proudly.

"I want him..," Ariel said practically drooling.

Isolde, Ariel, and their bishies went to Coze's and filled up 4 booths there. "Wow, you have 5 new ones! Joey, Spike, Faith, Yusuke and Angelus! When did you get all those?" Isolde asked Ariel amazed.

"I've been wandering around alot lately..," Ariel said.

"So...what's good to eat here?" Isolde asked curiously.

"There's a great swiss cheese and ham sandwich they serve here, or there's turkey with artichoke and alfalfa...," Ariel started listing a bunch of sandwiches then moved on to the soup, "There's broccoli with cheese, they put just a touch of nutmeg in that and it's superb! And then there's the creamed chicken and cheese soup..."

After they ordered they chatted about what they had been doing since they last saw eachother. "Yeah, so I was looking for some Bishoujo and a Tasuki told me about a nice one who had a house nearby so I went and I caught her. But it turns out she was a Tomo!" Isolde laughed.

"A Tomo? Isn't that a he?" Ariel asked.

"Yup. I should have known a Tasuki could never get Tomo's gender straight," Isolde said.

"Tomo is anything BUT straight," Ariel said.

The bishies with them just kept moving farther and farther away from them throughout this whole conversation till one by one they fell off their booths.

After dinner the girls decided they wanted to do some more catching up so they arranged to meet the next day outside of Ariel's hotel. "...and bring your friends too. I would love to meet them," Ariel said to Isolde.

"Sure. So at 10?" Isolde asked.

"Right," replied Ariel.

Isolde went back to her hotel room and fell asleep moments after hitting the hay.

Info that you might need to understand what happened in the duel between Tyreal and Sesshou-Maru: In the begining of the Bishounen world, according to Songwind, the duels used to be fights to the death. In the modern Bishounen world, that is no longer so because someone changed things somehow so that wouldn't happen. I deceided that in cases of extreme rage so that the mind has gone blank and the body just reacts, no thinking involved, those 'bonds of blood' are broken and in that case, Sesshoumaru could have killed Tyreal or most likely vis versa.

Trillium: Are you trying to scare them?

Dragonheart: Yes.

Trillium: Ok, just wondering.

Dragonheart: You were doing more than wondering, I can here your brain working from here!

Trillium: That's because it's such a good brain.

Dragonheart: It sounds like a rusty bike needing lubrication.

Trillium: That's because it's kinda dirty.

Dragonheart: That's why I wrote that up there.

Trillium: Whatever.

Dragonheart: *sighs* Ja ne!
