The Daughters of Cerberus
Chapter 2: Two Thirds of a Beast
I'd like to say thank you to Angel Sniper and LadyFluffy05 for reviewing the first chapter X3
On with the story:Last time:
"W-w-w-w-what?" I stutter with Yumi,
"I think it's 1506"
"We're in Japan." Yumi confirms, both nod. Yumi and I glare at each other.
"So THAT'S it!" Yumi summarizes. I understand, but the wolf men are confused. I continued for her
"So when we were shot we were sent here!" I think we just lost the wolf tribe…
"Eh!" Ginta and Hakkaku ask, we ignored them and continued our conversation
"But why here? Why not Hawaii or Australia? And why 500 years in the past?"
"I don't know." We stopped and began to think. We had just about lost everyone at this stage, even Kouga and Yuka stopped fighting to listen to the conversation.
"You're from the future too?" Kouga asks, looking at all three of us. Yuka nods, "Wait… you were shot? What's that?"
"Basically it's when a small piece of metal called a bullet is fired from a metal case called a gun. The pressure builds up and the bullet is shot at an unimaginable speed," Yuka paused so everyone could catch up, "Bullets are shot at such an immense speed, you hear the sound of the gun fire once the bullet is over a meter away. The bullet's speed is so fast, it can penetrate skin, even bone, easily." The wolf men froze. Yuka continued, "Yumi, Kiki and I were shot, I was shot in the chest,"
"I was shot in the stomach." Yumi added.
"I was shot in the shoulder." I added. Kouga spoke up,
"Wouldn't you be dead?" all three of us nodded,
"That's why we're confused. We should be dead, but we're living, breathing and standing in Japan, 500 years in the past." Kouga and the others froze, confused and amazed.
"Alright, seeing as you three have no place to go, you will stay with us for the time being," Kouga ordered, the other men stood, "alright, let's move out." With that, the others went in search for food while Hakkaku grabbed me, Ginta grabbed Yumi, and Kouga grabbed Yuka and dragged us into the cave. We were settled down on a fur bed and the three disappeared. All three of us were left there to… do absolutely nothing…
'This has got to be the WEIRDEST day in my life.'
"You said it." …Yuka… not now…
Now:
Normal POV:
After hours of waiting in the cave of the wolf tribe, Yuka, Yumi and Kiki were beyond the borders of bored and on the verge of going insane. There was just nothing to do! Kiki had been playing jacks with stones with Yumi… but it ended fast when the larger rock smashed the smaller ones. Yuka was drawing on the walls with a rock… but she caused a small fire and is now forbidden to do any type of drawing with stone WHAT SO EVER. Yumi and Yuka began making faces at each other, trying to make each other laugh… but the cave was too dark for that. By now, Kiki was about ready to burst.
"HOW THE HELL DO THESE PEOPLE HAVE FUN?" she echoes through out the cave, taking Yumi and Yuka aback. Kiki plops down on the stony ground and pouts. Yuka and Yumi stay at least two feet away at her at all times since her little outburst. Yumi spoke up,
"Sigh… OH! I have a flash light and a pack of cards in my backpack!"
"Are you sure it's still there?" Yuka inquires, she has a point, since they DID travel 500 years in the past.
"…No… but it's worth a shot. If all our stuff is there, then that means I have my iPod!" Yumi retorts with excitement, Kiki and Yuka shrug,
"It's worth a shot." Yuka adds, Kiki sighs and they all begin rumbling through their things. To their relief: Yumi had her flashlight, iPod, five extra earphones, make up, toothbrush, shampoo, conditioner, soap, kimono, dress, accessories AND a deck of cards. Yuka had her make up, toothbrush, shampoo, conditioner, soap, hairbrush, kimono, dress, accessories, game boy, pillows and a box of tic tacs. Kiki had her toothbrush, hairbrush, shampoo, conditioner, soap, kimono, dress, accessories, flashlight, make up, cigarettes and a lighter. (Why would they have all these things? When you're a gangster, you have to have to go undercover sometimes, and you have got to smell and look good.) Yumi shared her iPod with the girls and turned it to 'Dirrty' by Christina Aguilera (why? Because I heard it on the plane to America X3) Yuka began singing along to the song for enjoyment. Perfect timing: Kouga was returning to check up on the three…
Dirty
Filthy
Nasty
Too dirty to clean my act up
If you ain't dirty... you ain't here to party!
Ladies move, gentlemen move
'Who's she talking to?' Kouga thinks as he hugs the walls and watches the girls bop their heads to the music. Kouga's ears pick up the beat, but not the words.
Somebody ring the alarm
A fire on the roof
Ring the alarm (And I'm throwin elbows)
'Alarm? Why?'
I said ring the alarm (And I'm throwin elbows)
'WHY?'Ring the alarm
(And I'm throwin elbows)Ooh, I'm overdue
'Overdue to what?'
Gimme some room, I'm comin' through
'But you're not going anywhere!'
Paid my dues, I'm in the mood
'Paid your dues?'
Me and my girls gonna shake the room

'What's a DJ… and no'
And let's get dirty (that's my jam)
'But I just took a bath!'
I need that ... to get me off
Sweatin' till my clothes come off
'…' Kouga freezes at that line in shock.
It's explosive, speakers are thumpin'

No question, time for some action!
Temperature's up (Can you feel it?)
'Bout to erupt (so get)

'She's pretty good…' By this point, Yuka is standing and dancing mildly while Yumi and Kiki are swaying and bopping their heads and singing with Yuka.
Gonna get rowdy
Gonna get a little unruly
Get it fired up in a hurry
Wanna get dirty
'OH! That's what she meant…'
It's about time that I came to start the party
Sweat drippin' over my body
'Didn't need to know that…'

That's when we take it to the parking lot
And I betcha somebody's gonna call the cops

'Ok… she's good…' Yuka now pulls Yumi and Kiki up and all three begin dancing into beat.

'Wow… thank god that's over…'
The song ended and the girls began laughing,
"What do ya know… after just a little singing and a little dancing, I feel like I've been doing this for hours." Yumi remarks, Kiki nods,
"I agree."
"See? Music rules. It's the world wide cure for boredom." Yuka states as she flops down on the fur mattress.
"Thank GOD no one heard" Yumi states, "That would've been EMBARRASSING!" Kouga was fighting the huge urge to buckle over with laughter.
"Yeah, I stink anyway… It's torture for the ears…" Yuka states out of the blue.
'If that was torture, then chain me to the WALLS!'
"Yeah and I'm a six legged pile of dung." Kiki differed
"Yeah Yuka. Don't down grade yourself like that. You've got the best voice out of all of us Yuka." Yumi comforts,
"Besides, if you're bad, then we're a thousand times worse…" Kiki joked. The girls laughed again and embraced each other while Yuka whispered a thanks. Kouga found this the perfect opportunity to make and entrance,
"Am I interrupting anything?" he states bluntly, coming into view. The girls stop hugging a few minutes later,
"A little."
"Pretty much."
"Yeah."
"You're done now so hurry up and get outside." Kouga ordered, the girls nodded and began towards the entrance of the cave in single file: Yuka in front, Kiki second and Yumi third. They followed Kouga out, but before they could actually exit the cave, Kouga suddenly stopped causing Yuka to fall into his back. Yuka recovered quickly and apologized, Kouga kept his back to the three, trying to hide the blush on his face.
"Go get your things…" he ordered,
"Ok…" Yuka replies and gets the girl's things for them. The girls thank her and they continued out the cave. The four climbed up the ledge where Kouga and Yuka fought earlier and the girls stand on the opposite end of the ledge from Kouga. "So… what do you need?" Yuka inquires, Kouga sighs,
"According to the rules of the Great Northern Packs, stray demons are forbidden to live or come near the tribal territories with out a fight. Since Yuka has already fought me, she is capable of staying here… as for you two…" Kouga paused and looked to Kiki and Yumi, "You must leave… NOW!"
"HEY! THAT'S NOT FAIR!" Yuka screams, obviously NOT looking forward to leaving her family behind.
"It's the rules."
"RULES SHMULES!" Kiki yells, "WE'RE FAMILY! YOU DON'T SEPARATE FAMILY!" she argued. Kouga remained silent and sighed,
"Try explaining that to the elder. He wouldn't listen to me, so what makes you think he'll listen to you!" He yells at the girls, Yuka looks to the ground and shuffles her feet… Yumi and Kiki look to each other, then to Yuka, "I'll give you a few minutes to say your goodbyes…"
"Yuka…" Yumi begins, Yuka turns to her and her sister, "We'll see you again, ok?" Yumi advances towards Yuka and gives her a large hug. Kiki looks away from her sister, trying to act like she didn't care… but was falling apart inside…
"Kiki?" Yuka inquires, tears filling her and Yumi's eyes, Kiki keeps looking away until she gives in and breaks down on Yuka's shoulder.
"WAH!"
"It's ok sis… I'll see you soon, really." Yuka comforts, Yumi puts a hand on Kiki's shoulder and pulls her gently away from Yuka. Both girls straighten up and turn to Kouga,
"Ok… thanks for the few hours of… um… fun Kouga." Yumi appreciated and extended a hand towards Kouga. Kouga stared at it for a while before shaking it. Kiki waved a hand and hugged Yuka once more. Kouga held Yuka back and escorted Yumi and Kiki to a clearance over the ledge.
"Now, stay still" Kouga instructs and returns to Yuka, ready to charge. Yumi and Kiki under stand his next move and close their eyes. "I'm sorry…" he mumbles before charging at the girls, Kiki and Yumi begin to whisper to each other,
"I guess we're not the Daughters of Cerberus anymore…" Kiki mumbles sadly,
"Yeah… I guess now were just… two thirds of a beast…" Yumi mumbles and holds Kiki's hand, the two wait for the impact. It comes, hard and swift, sending them hurling over the cliff and into the water below…
'Bye Yuka, Kouga… Kouga… if I die and you EVER hurt Yuka, I will haunt you 'til the day you die…' Kiki thinks, hoping her telepathic sister picks up her thoughts…
'Like he could.' Kiki hears in her ears…
"Yuka…" Kiki whispers as she and Yumi fall into the raging river below.
Wow, long chappie... REVIEW X3
