Chapter 15: The Fighting God

Fumika and Catherine were going to Catherine's house. They bought ice-cream for themselves and their both Angels Angelic ice-cream too. "Catherine, I never asked you this before, but I always wanted to know." Fumika said.

Catherine smiled and licked her ice-cream, "What is it?" Fumika asked shyly, "It's about Nataku, Jason's Angel. What does Nataku means?" Catherine replied, "It means fighting god. That Angel can really be a fighting God. He is strong, after all. But he can never beat Jinara, what a pity. Besides, one time I over heard a few of his friends saying that Jason almost veined his anger on Nataku."

Fumika's shyness faded away. She became interested in the topic pulled out, "Veined his anger on Nataku? How?" Catherine smiled, "When his loving brother died, Jason veined his anger on almost everything. He wanted to vein his anger on Nataku as well. But he stopped…"

"Why?" Fumika asked. Catherine was sad, but she forced a smile, "Because Nataku looks like his brother. Nataku was made to look like Jason's brother. Nataku was a reminder of Jason's brother."

There was a silence none of them dared to say a word. This always happens when they bring out a topic about Jason. "Here we are! My house… Wait, it's a mansion."

Fumika looked at the huge mansion. It had large windows, a lovely garden with a fountain. The door was big; the curtains were made of fine cloth. The mansion was build between two large buildings.

"Are those buildings part of your mansion? They seem overboard." Fumika whispered. Catherine giggled, "No, they're not. My mother works in a perfume factory, while my father works as an engineer."

Fumika frowned, "So? What does it have to do with you mansion?" Catherine giggled again, "My mother and father had their factories build on both sides of our mansion. Let's go."

Fumika was silent, Catherine is rich… Fumika thought. Fumika went into Catherine's house. A butler stood in the front door. "Good afternoon, Miss Camolous. Please approach with your friend." Said the butler, in a snobby like way.

"Thank you, butler." Said Catherine and took Fumika inside. A man sat on a large red sofa, made of fine cloth. He was watching a huge television screen. Almost the size of the wall!

A woman sat on another sofa. She was reading the newspaper. She looked up when she saw Catherine and Fumika entering the mansion. "Good afternoon, Catherine. This is?" she asked.

"Good afternoon, Mom. This is Fumika Himura. Fumika, this is my mom, and that is my dad." Catherine said. Catherine's mother cleared her throat, "Um…David…David! Off the television!" Catherine's mother yelled at the man on the sofa. But the man wasn't paying attention. He was drifted away from the television.

"It's alright, mom. Fumika and I are going up to my room for a while. Bye!" Catherine said and dragged Fumika up the stairs. The steps were so royalty like; it had a red carpet decorated on the stairs.

Once they reached Catherine's room, Fumika panted, "Two hundred and fifty steps to your room, Catherine." Fumika wiped away a few sweat drops. "Yes, I know. It's hard. Come on before time runs out!"

Fumika looked around Catherine's room. There was a huge bed. Curtains made out of silk, many toys and a large shelf with many plushies of animals, mythical creatures and more. There was a large television screen like the on downstairs.

Catherine opened a cupboard and took out a CD. She opened the television and the CD player. She settled the CD in the player and pressed the 'Play' button.

"Let's return to the fight of Angelic Layer! Who will win this battle? Angel Nataku or Angel Banchi? Let's find out!" yelled the announcer. The layer was turned into a rocky mountain.

"Play attention to this film, Fumika. You next opponent is Nataku." Catherine said. Fumika nodded and stared at the screen.

"Sing, Banchi! I know you can! Angel, Fall In!" cried the opponent. Banchi shot right into the layer and landed on her legs. "Nataku, you're the strongest Fighting God! Angel, Fall In!" Cried Jason and threw Nataku into the Layer. Nataku zoomed in and surfed on the rocks.

"Angelic, Fight!" yelled announcer. Banchi leaped into the air, she was going to kick Nataku. "Nataku!" Jason yelled. Nataku disappeared. Where did Nataku go? Fumika thought. Is he fast? Suddenly, Nataku appeared from no where and punched Banchi on the back.

Nataku jumped high on and suddenly stand on the Layer, sideways! How did he do that? Fumika thought. Nataku was running on the Layer. Soon, he disappeared again.

Banchi opened her mouth and sang loudly. Nataku appeared again and fell in the rocks with his eyes closed. The voice was too loud. Banchi went closer. Nataku grabbed her leg and twirled her till she fell out of the Layer.

"Whoa! Victory, Angel Nataku! What a Fighting God!" yelled the announcer.

"You got all of that, Fumika?" Catherine asked as she off the television. Fumika was still staring blankly at the screen. "Um…Hello?" Catherine said in a goofy voice. Fumika snapped out of her thinking and shook her head, "Yes, I got it all. I'll have to go, Catherine. I need some time alone."

"Okay, bye, Fumika!" said Catherine. Fumika walked down the two hundred and fifty steps and said, "Good bye, misses and mister Camolous!" said Fumika as she dashed out of the door.

She was walking slowly on the streets with Rinrei on her shoulders. She was thinking again…

"Good bye, Fumika. After work, I'll come back home, promise." Said a lady.

"Okay, mom! I hope you finish your work soon!" said Fumika. The lady smiled and hugged her daughter, "Cara, take care of her." Said the lady. She sat on a taxi and drove off.

"Um… Hello? Fumika? You passed by Aunt Cara's house. Hello? Fumika?" asked Rinrei, snapping her fingers in front of Fumika. Fumika blinked, "Huh? Oh, right. Thanks for reminding me, Rinrei. Or we could have got lost."
