Mango Manga! Chapter III: Enter Bevy!
Ryu gasped and could do nothing but smile. Bevy had come to save him! That's not like her, though. Usually, she tells him to get out of his own predicaments, but today..today was different. Bera continually gasped for air, and Bevy noticed this as a weakness.
"You're tired. Using an element that you're not particularly familiar with has drained you, especially because you just had to dodge against it. Bera, you're a fool." she said, moving her hair from her eyes.
"You shut up.. I don't have to listen to this babble dripping from your mouth!" Bera said. Her clothes were torn, and she bled from her face.
"Suit yourself." Bevy calmly shrugged. When Ryu tried to stand to help, Bevy quickly pushed him back down, split a shadow clone, and forced Ryu into the Water Prison Technique. "I don't want you to move."
"Let me out! How am I supposed to breathe in here!" Ryu flailed. Bevy sighed.
"You're breathing now, right? I left a gap so air could flow, you ass." Bevy rolled her eyes again. "Ass." Bera growled and charged for Bevy, who took a quick notice. Within the next 7 seconds, Bera and bevy's arms collided, making huge sparks of energy. Though Bera was determined, her energy was far less than it was when her and Ryu started.
"Bera, you're a fool. You couldn't beat me in class- why the Hell do you think you can do it now?" Bevy asked. Bera laughed and replied.
"Because this time is different. I feel.. Poisonous.." she said.
"Poisonous? What does that mean.. NO! DAMN IT!" Bevy yelled. She had fell for Bera's trap. Poisonous meant a poisonous technique! Bevy jumped down onto the ground, holding a vial of serum in her hands, just in case. Bera looked down and laughed.
"I didn't mean like that, but thank you for that WONDERFUL idea!" she chuckled. With a few quick movements of her hands, Bera held a small, blood soaked scroll. She read the inscriptions in some other, dead language and proceeded in stating her technique.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu- Summoning Technique!" With that, the ground quaked loudly, and the other students ran inside the building, but Ato and Gaara stayed behind. Why couldn't she hear the earthquake! Upon further inspection, Gaara had placed a shield around them.
"RYU! GET OUT OF THE DAMN WAY!" Bevy yelled, but it was far too late. Before Ryu turned, he heard a loud clasping noise, with several heavy feet. When he finally turned, a scorpion, about the size of the building, stood behind him, with Bera sitting on top.
"Damn.. It... I just pissed myself..." Ryu said, before collapsing on the ground. Bevy jumped into the air and clasped a large shuriken and kunai in both hands, piercing it into the scorpion's back feet. It hissed loudly and lunged for her with it's tail, but Bevy was too quick for it. With several motions of her hands, Bevy prepared an attack.
"Jouro Senbon!" She yelled, flinging an umbrella from off of the ground into the air. Most likely, someone dropped it during their mad dash out of there. The umbrella opened, raining several thousand needles upon the scorpion and Bera, and they both yelled.
"ARGH! It hurts!" Bera shrieked, as her scorpion fell to the ground, and faded away.
"It's supposed to!" Bevy shouted back. Bera stood and decided to go hand to hand with Bevy, who matched her blow for blow. For 15 minutes, they clashed, before Bera slowed to a stop. She reached for an asthma pump, but it was quickly sent flying. Ryu was back up, in a fresh pair of pants, clutching a large Kunai with a long connected steel chain with him.
"Bera- we're going to stop you. Understand that." Ryu stated. Bera gasped for air, but Bevy appeared by his side, whispering.
"Why won't she go down?" she asked him.
"I think someone else is pulling the strings from behind. We have to work together and defeat her in 1 fatal blow." he said.
"Fatal?" she asked.
"Well, maybe not fatal, but enough to send her out of the game."
"Oh. Ok." she laughed. When they looked around, Bera was gone. They glanced around the area, and then looked up. When they did, Bera hovered down towards them, kicking both of them square in the eyes. They leapt back, wiped their eyes, and proceeded to double team Bera -Chan.
Bevy jumped high into the air, and performed her signature move- a surpriser, as well.
"Konoha Senpuu!" she yelled. With lightning speed, she made a direct blow to Bera's gut, sending her flying into the air. "Now, Ryu!"
"Alright! Kage Buyou!" He stated. Shadow leaf dance bound Bera to her shadow, which was amplified by the remaining sunlight. She was paralyzed for the time being. "Bevy! Let's finish her together!" he yelled.
"Alright! Now! Omote Renge!" she performed, Initial Lotus, that unlocks the other 80 percent of her muscle power. Ryu used Shishi Rendan, or Lion Combo, using furious, animalistic attacks. They collided with Bera's body, hitting her well over 4500 times. She hit the ground with a thud, bleeding from her mouth and left ear. Ryu and Bevy landed, and the medics dragged Bera off to the hospital. Ryu glanced at Bevy, who glanced at Ryu. He smiled, and she raised an eyebrow.
"Thanks for your help, Bevy- I couldn't have done it without you." he smiled.
"Yeah, I know. Realize that I only did this so I could defeat you myself." she said, giving the cold shoulder.
"Maybe.. Maybe my future isn't with Ato. Maybe it's with you, Bevy. I love you!" he yelled. She gagged and laughed.
"Please- you'd better stick to reality, and go get Ato." she pointed. Ato was standing in the cherry blossom trees, and Gaara sat next to her. Ryu ran over towards the tree, in what felt like slow motion.
"ATO! I love you! I lo.." he was cut off, due to hitting the barrier. He fell backwards and hit the ground. Ato looked over and the barrier fell down.
"What's wrong with you? Furthermore, where's Bera?" She asked.
"Bera..hospital.. Fighting.. Bevy and I.." he mumbled, dazed.
"What! You guys were fighting? Why?" she asked, hysterically.
"Cause she wouldn't let me see you. I wanted to tell you that I love you, and I saw you with Gaara." He said, getting to 1 knee. "Ato- will you be my girlfriend?"
There was a long moment of silence. Ato blushed, but Ryu thought it was from happiness. It was really from rage.
"You just sent my best friend to the hospital, beat up 2 others, and on top of that, told Bevy that you love her! HELL NO! Get away, loser!" she said, snatching her hands from his.
"Wha...how did you hear that!" he asked, his eyes wide.
"Because I'm not deaf, you ASS!" she yelled. The cherry blossoms swirled from the trees, and collided with his flesh.
"But I love you!" he yelled. "I don't want you to leave the school!"
"Part A: There is no such thing as love, you idiot. Only severe liking. Part B: I'm not leaving the school! That's what I told Bera to tell you if you CHOSE to follow. Part C: Gaara is my boyfriend, you butt crack! Why would I want you? By the way- I saw when you soiled yourself. Nice pajama pants, 'princess'!" she said turning. When Ryu looked, he noticed he was wearing Kiyo's Hello Kitty pajama pants! (His mom sent them.) Ryu went into a blind rage. He couldn't believe it! As if trying to get here wasn't enough, she didn't have to insult him.
"You know what? Fine. I'm glad you don't love me, more or less like me. You know why? Because I wouldn't want to be caught dead with some egotistic pompous little Anti-Christ girl who thinks she's better than the whole damn world! Especially one who thinks that Purple pants goes with blue socks. I..I.. I'm mad that I risked my life to come out here to see if you were alright. I liked you. I really did. But you've shown me in a new light that I can't even do that right. Sorry for wasting your time, 'your majesty.' Didn't mean to bother you and your big headed boyfriend. Maybe one day you'll realize what you've missed and realize how much of a bitch you're being. Bye." Ryu said angrily, walking away.
Ato sat with her mouth gaping. Gaara had stepped back a few. She didn't think he had it in him.
"Gaara, I'm sorry." she said, leaping from the tree. Within a few moments, she had caught up with Ryu. She pounced on him and frantically kissed him. Looks like the motivation speech worked! The entire class came back outside and applauded them both, and Kiyo's voice could be heard from the window.
"Hey Ryu! Feel free to use my bed when you need it!" he laughed. Ryu gave a thumbs up.
"Wait just a damn minute!" said a raspy voice. Everyone looked at the woman standing in the way. She had a young, blonde haired boy behind her, making rude gestures.
"Oh no.." said Ato. "It's Bera's mom!"
