Hello! I'm here again. I hope I can keep up the attention span to finish this story. x.x;;; Anyway, answering one review. (Yes, I, who normally never answer reviews, will do that.)
Nyaa-Neko- Thank you for pointing out the spelling, especially since I'm going to be writing Berii a lot this chapter. Thank you for just REVIEWING! Almost nobody has.
Okay… in case you didn't notice, there's a kind of spoiler in one of the past chapters. But I'm not going to tell you which one. So, go find it! Anyway, let the story… begin!
Disclaimer: I do not own Kayami, Haru, or Berii. They belong to Mia Ikumi. I also do not own Berii's battle outfit. That belongs to CLAMP.
Chapter 5- The Crumbling
Kayami sat and listened to the teacher's speech, her mind calm. For once, for a couple of days, there hadn't been a monster. Even Haru was calmer. Kayami knew it wouldn't last long, though. She let out a soft sigh.
School was over in a couple of hours and Kayami slowly walked to the gym. She was to be a judge for a gymnastics competition. Haru decided to tag along, calling her mom and telling her. They finally reached the gym.
"Alright! Kayami, please take your seat over THERE! And Haru, as I suppose you're a spectator, go sit over THERE!" shouted Kati, a loud mouth moron. Both of the two did as indicated and the competition began.
"Up first… Berii Niiro!" Berii walked onto the platform, obviously ready to perform. "Ready…. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Kati shouted, and Berii went through the "obstacle course" that had been set out for her.
First a cartwheel, then a back flip. Berii completed all the things with ease, and speedily as well. Finally, she finished, the time being 3:42.
"I say a 9. Her moves were sloppy." Mr. Ugarashi said, being a strict gymnastics coach. "Nonsense, nonsense, she should get a 10!" Mrs. Kudu, a kind gym teacher replied. "What do you think, Kayami?" Mrs. Kudu asked. A contestant had to get 2 out of 3 10s.
Kayami was silent. "A 10. I could tell she performed it with ease," Kayami murmured.
"Good, good!" Mrs. Kudu scribbled something down on a piece of paper, then gave it to Kati.
"Berii…" Kati started, Berii crossing her fingers, "YOU PASS!" There was a loud cheer as the girls gathered around Berii. "I did it! I made it to the championships!" Berii exclaimed. She was positively beaming.
Her happiness was short lived. She had to clean up in the science lab because she made a ruckus in class earlier that day. And who should be supervising other than Kayami! Lucky they dissect tomorrow, Berii thought, sweeping the floor. "My t-shirt is gonna get ruined…" Berii muttered. Kayami looked at the shirt, the "I LOVE USA!" being written like the USA flag. Berii had gone there for 2 years. She was also wearing jeans. "I hope I don't have to clean tomorrow," Berii grumbled. That was when Berii thought she saw something move.
"Wha-What?" Berii stuttered. Kayami grew still. She had seen it as well. "Well, well," she heard a male voice call out, "let's see how you deal with this one!" The closet that kept the frogs was flung open, a frog monster hopped out. Berii screamed as the monster advanced on her. Kayami just stood there, knowing she couldn't transform in front of Berii. Then the monster's tongue was unleashed and it knocked Kayami out of the room.
Thanks, frog, Kayami thought. She shouted, "BLACK CAT METAMORPOSIS!" and there was Black Cat. She jumped into the room, summoning her sword. "Demo-" she was interrupted by the monster's tongue wrapping around her sword, and swinging her right in front its mouth. The mouth opened wide, getting ready to devour its prey.
"B-Black Cat!" Suddenly Berii's eyes widened. "Wait… Kayami?" she gasped. She… she knows…? Of course! She was in the haunted house too! Kayami thought. Her thoughts were interrupted when she was moved closer to the mouth.
"Kayami! No!" Berii shrieked. A light glowed from the back of her neck. There was a bright flash and standing there was Berii... with rabbit ears and tail.
She was wearing a dress with a white shirt under a pink part. A bit around her middle was white, and she was wearing a ruffled pink skirt. Her sleeves were the same as her skirt. She was wearing white gloves and tall white boots.
"A-Awesome!" Berii exclaimed. "Berii!" Kayami called. She was inside its mouth…
"KAYAMI!" Berii yelled. "That's it! White Rabbit Wand!" A pink, yellow, and white wand with a clear gem fell into Berii's hand. "Bright Rabbit Flash!" There was a rush of light, and the monster was destroyed. Kayami jumped down, unscathed for the most part, and looked down at the frog the monster was created from. She heard a familiar voice calling.
"Kayami! Berii!" Haru yelled. She looked in to find Berii and Kayami and the frog on the floor. "There was a monster?"
"Yes, of course there was a monster!" a voice called out. They all turned and looked out the window. Standing, or should I say floating, was a male teenager. Except for the fact that his ears were like elves' and he had a strange outfit on.
He had on a green coat, with a lighter green vest and shorts. He had fabric boots like Kayami, except that they were the same green as his coat. On his hands were black gloves. His hair, in a short ponytail, was a fiery red, and his eyes were a bluish green, like a perfect mixture of sapphire and emerald.
"Hello, little pests. My name is Tenrai." Kayami suddenly realized… he was the same figure as the shadow on the wall. "So," she murmured, "you're the one creating the monsters."
"Very good! You see, I am a Leitha Elena. We are the people who are not bound to the stars as other races are. We are conquerors. And I've been sent to conquer earth. Takai was supposed to cut down the population, so it would be easier. However," he muttered, "one day I didn't feel his energy. I found out what happened, and so my master ordered me to send Umea Laman to eliminate those who killed him! Only you're pretty tough. Nice meeting you! I'll see you later, you three. Have fun with the other Umea Laman. Bye!" He faded away as the three felt a tremble in the ground.
"Green Mouse Metamorphosis!" Haru shouted, soon transformed into Green Mouse. The three opened the windows and saw, to their horror, a giant frog monster, destroying the school. "If we don't stop it, it'll destroy the whole town," Kayami said in alert.
"So let's GO!" Berii yelled, and the three took off.
"Black Cat Blade!"
"Green Mouse Daggers!"
Together, they shouted their attacks.
"Bright Rabbit Flash!"
"Demon Cat Strike!"
"Spring Mouse Cross-Slash!"
However, the attacks did nothing to the giant frog. "No way!" Berii exclaimed.
Kayami looked thoughtful for a moment, then said, "Cat's Eye!" She used it to pinpoint its weak point… there!
"Berii, Haru, go for its eyes!" Kayami instructed, readying herself for attack. Both attacked, and the monster thrashed about, destroying some of the building. Then Kayami leaped forward.
"DEMON CAT STRIKE!" she shouted, hitting a soft spot in the middle of the eyes. The monster was cut in half, and about 30 frogs appeared.
There was a loud rumbling noise, and the already crumbling part of the school toppled over, destroying what was still standing. The three stood in silence for a moment, and Berii said, "Well, seems like we're going to have to go to another school now."
End of Chapter 5
Yay! Yay! Anyway, I know Niiro isn't Berii's real last name, but I don't care. I just randomly made it up and I'm not going to change it. Please R+R people! Seeya next chapter!
