juu ni sho

the win or loss

Kawaru's thoughts. He has a lot of power. I don't know anything about fighting. Except the stances I learn from Sao-Chan. Maybe I can try doing what she did, the taihen kiatsu kikku…

Saori went back to the forest. She thought she could be by herself and think. She thought about earlier, "Sorry, Sao-Chan, I have to bring Rin-Chan to the hospital…" Then she understood. Kawaru already knew she was angry that's why he apologized with his eyes looking like that. "That idiot…" Saori said. Suddenly she felt two strange forces towards the east of the forest. "Fuujin Gokan," Saori located two powers. "One of them is Kawaru's and the other one is Kawaru's also… What the?" Saori thought. Then she hurried towards them.

"Hold a second, I have to bring Rin away from our battle first," Kawaru said. "Hmph, still thinking about her when you will lose," Shin replied. Kawaru moved her to the side of the tree. "Now we can start our fight," Kawaru stated. Then Shin began to fly up. Kawaru couldn't do anything. He just made the stance that Saori taught him. "Yami kiatsu no jutsu," Shin said. Then he lifted his left arm back then he pushed it forward towards Kawaru. Kawaru was hit. Kawaru coughed up blood, and was knocked on the floor. "What is this? This is similar to Sao-Chan's kick. It moves through the air…" Kawaru thought.

Saori saw two Kawaru's one is the human form one and another is with the wing. Saori noticed the same thing his technique is the same like hers. "KAWARU-KUN, look where his hands are aiming at and concentrate your hearing. Stay in your stance," Saori yelled. "arigatou," Kawaru thanked. "And one more thing, with my stance you should be able to do the technique I did to the trees, use your memory! Concentrate your ki power into your leg, and pretend you're kicking a ball up. Release the ki power the same time you move your leg, then you should be able to do, taihen kiatsu no kikku… ganbatteru!" Saori yelled. "hai," Kawaru answered.

Saori's thoughts. The one with the wings is not the good one, right? The one without the advantage is the real Kawaru, as it seems. I hope he can defeat him. I don't really know what's going on but Kawaru looks like he has to defeat him. And Rin is over there.

Saori walked to Rin, and she saw a bite mark on her neck, and a symbol on her back. "What happened?" Saori wondered.

"Now you need help from your little girlfriend?" Shin laughed. "URUSAI YO!" Kawaru yelled. Suddenly he started to glow red. His ki power started to increase. "What! Impossible, I'm using his true powers!" Shin was confused. "But this is power from the heart, no matter what you do! You can't get away from this attack!" Kawaru yelled. His left leg held all his Ki power. He concentrated as if he was kicking a ball. "He did it, this is an ultimate attack the way he has it," Saori was surprised yet happy. Even she can't do this. "TAI-HEN-KI-ATSU KIK-KU!" Kawaru yelled. He kicked his left leg as hard as he could releasing all his ki power. Instead of it being narrow Kawaru did an ultimate attack of the Kamiya Cousins. Shin really couldn't dodge it, and he fell down to the ground. He coughed out blood, his body was all paralyzed. "This can't happen," Shin struggled. "Never had this happen to me before…" Shin started to disappear. "I guess it happened now. Then Kawaru's heart began to throb again, this time he didn't cough any blood. "I guess you win," Shin disappeared. The shin form came back to Kawaru though. But he untransformed. "I did it," Kawaru laughed. He ran to Saori. "Thank you, Sao-Chan! If it wasn't for you being there, I would have lost, and lost my will and body," Kawaru jumped hugged her. "Nonono, it's no big deal, sorry about your leg. And be proud you have fully mastered the taihen kiatsu," Saori said. "I wanted to teach you that personally, but I guess you did it yourself," she added. "But you still helped you taught me what to do," Kawaru replied. "There's one more thing, you can punch if you concentrate your ki power in your arm. Explain what happened, and what's with this bite on Rin, and this symbol…" Saori asked. "I don't really know myself, but when Rin was getting weaker, I didn't want her to die. Then I transformed, and my side teeth grew. I had the urge to bite her, but I felt my body injecting something in her… Then "Shin" the other me that's no longer here, said she is immortal, because of my bite. I think that's the sign of immortality. I don't really know, but I guess that's what I concluded…" Kawaru explained. "So that's what happened, well at least both of you are safe, it was my fault that this happened," Saori cried. "No it's not, I was the one who didn't say anything about my legs, if you're still angry take your anger off me," Kawaru smiled. "Kawaru-Kun…" Saori wiped her tears.

"Do you want to be immortal?" Kawaru laughed. "Heh, not now, I don't like how I look, but Rin will always look like that now?" Saori asked. "I don't know, but we will see…" Kawaru replied. "One more thing, why is her Hakama off," Saori began to glare at him. "I didn't mean it, it was in a hurry so I just pulled it off so I could bite her," Kawaru hesitated. "I was just teasing you," Saori said.

Saori was next to Rin. Kawaru was on the other side of her. The sun was setting, Saori went closer to Kawaru. Kawaru was hesitating, and began to blush. Saori held Kawaru's face, the she closed her eyes and stuck her lips out. When they Saori's lips were at contact with Kawaru, Rin woke up. She stuck her hand right between them. "Ah Rin, when did you?" Saori hesitated. "What were you doing?" Rin asked. "I was giving him a present," Saori laughed. "Sighs, but my neck hurts a lot," Rin stated. Saori pointed at Kawaru. "WHAT! I saved her didn't I ? I had no choice," Kawaru shrugged. "Heheheh, he loves you a lot, he made you immortal with that bite," Saori teased. "I-m-m-o-r-t-a-l! What were you thinking!" Rin yelling at Kawaru. "I didn't even know until now, it's a long story. First I was out of blood, you gave me blood, your condition got worst, you were low in blood, I cried out, then I changed into Shin, and my side teeth grew, I took your top Hakama off, I bit you, you were getting better, then I flew us here, my other half said to make a duel so who can have the body, then I fought, then Sao-Chan came helped me, I killed him, then Shin and I became one again, and now we're right here," Kawaru said everything quickly and he shortened it. "Well, still if you both wanted to make out, you could've have done it somewhere else and not in front of me," Rin looked onto the floor wearing her Hakama back.

"I'll leave, and you two can be together," Rin stubbornly said. "No, don't leave," Kawaru cried. "You have Saori," Rin pointed. "But still…" Kawaru said. "But nothing, you also have Maki and Yuki…" Rin added. "But," Kawaru said. "What Kawaru was trying to say is that, he loves you, isn't it Kawaru?" Saori said. "Hmph, he couldn't even say it himself," Rin said. "But you can't even come to say it to him either, instead you run away," Saori stated. "No, I don't like him, but I just don't feel like killing him either," Rin walked away. "So when you embraced me with the hug, and the kiss it meant nothing to you?" Kawaru yelled. Rin was in a distance away from Kawaru. "It meant nothing," Rin said. "Thank you for saving my life, and making me "immortal," but I don't love you. I helped you because I owed you twice, and I guess we're even now…" Rin walked away. "Kawaru-Kun…" Saori hugged him because Kawaru started to tear. "She's just stubborn, maybe you give her some time…" Saori stated. "What is she thinking?" Saori thought.

"I'm sorry, Kawaru…" Rin dropped a tear. "I just can't face you yet," she added.
