One Second Counts: Year Two - Kajuu's Turn To Shine
A tall girl with dark blue hair walked around the Angelic Layer stadium, Angel in hand. The Angel had similar hair to her Deus', straight, loose, and long bangs. The Angel had long blonde hair, with a blue diamond, and two triangle near the bottom of the diamond on her forehead. The long front locks of her hair were held mid-way down with two, light blue hair bands.
She wore a white kimono with light blue inside lining. In place of a bow, there was a mirror, with two ribbons of fabric coming out of it.
"We're back for another year Kagami." The girl said to her Angel. She walked around, gazing at the different things posted on the wall, seeing what changed, and what didn't. She eventually ended up in the East Corner waiting room. She sat down, and waited for her name to be called.
*_*_*
Kajuu finished eating her food, and began to walk towards the waiting room.
"Ok Sakuraryu, we know almost nothing about the Deus and Angel we're fighting. The only thing we do know is that they defeated Wizard and Ohjirou in the previous round. We just have to figure out a major difference in the two of us." She smiled, and opened the door to the waiting room.
To her luck, the TV was playing highlights from Wizards fight. She sat close to the TV, and carefully watched what was happening. Before she could see too much, the screen changed to the Layer.
"They're about to call us! Let's do our best Sakuraryu!"
"W-8, Kiriyou Kajuu?" Kajuu leapt towards the hallway, ready for her next match.
*_*_*
"In the East Corner, one of this regions favorites, Deus: Tsuki Kakomi! Angel: Kagami! Kakomi has been playing Angelic Layer ever since the Angel Eggs were released. This tournament, she's playing with her very first Angel, Kagami. Two years ago, Kakomi won the tournament with her other Angel, Kimora. What kind of fight will she show us against our next Deus? In the West Corner, Deus: Kiriyou Kajuu! Angel: Sakuraryu! How will Sakuraryu fare against this Deus who has brought the Prince of the Layer to his knees?"
Kakomi had shoulder length blue hair, with two small pieces of hair framing her face. She wore boots, dark blue jeans, and a blue Chinese style shirt, with three quarter length sleeves that billowed out at the ends. She wore a silver necklace, with a blue stone hanging off of it. She appeared about 15 in age.
Both Deus' had gotten their visors on, and Angel ready for the entry.
"Angels to the Layer!"
"Kagami! Stand your ground! Fight with all you are!" Kakomi smiled, tossing Kagami into the Layer with a flick of her wrist. "Angel, fall-in!" Kagami turned three times in the air, her hands perpendicular to her body, the material of her kimono billowing around her. She floated to the Layer, touching it with just the tips of her feet. She waited until her hair fell perfectly into place before opening her blue eyes. She smiled.
"Sakuraryu! Use the force of the Layer to topple this foe!" Kajuu tossed Sakuraryu into the Layer. "Angel, fall-in!" With her eyes closed, Sakura did a split and thrust her left had downwards. She seemed to stay suspended for a second or two. Then, she moved the same hand upward, and she plummeted towards the Layer at an amazing speed. She landed with one knee out, kneeling, and the other leg tucked under her body. Her left hand was in front, and her right had at her side, making a fist. As soon as she hit the ground, her purple eyes shot open. She gracefully stood up, and took an unusual defensive position.
"Angelic fight!"
Kagami didn't move, so Sakuraryu took the initiative. She charged, and Kagami back flipped to get distance. 'I didn't even touch her...what's she worried about?' Sakuraryu charged again, but the same thing happened. Then, Kagami threw a punch. 'What?' Even though Kagami never touched Sakuraryu, she still went flying backwards. 'How did she pull that off?' Kajuu decided to see if she was doing the same thing as Ranga.
Sakuraryu charged again, but when Kagami kicked, the white-haired Angel leapt into the air. She didn't register any damage. 'Ok, it IS Ranga's wind attack.' Sakura tried again to get close to the other Angel, and when she did get close, she was simply thrown back. 'This is a weird Angel...but a very skilled Deus and Angel combination...Now what is she doing?' Kagami simply held her ground, not budging an inch.
Sakuraryu slowly jogged to Kagami, but again, she was repelled. 'Wizard...her last fight was against Wizard...maybe...but it takes longer than that to adapt a move...doesn't it?' Sakuraryu charged once more, this time, jumping in at just the right moment, and getting past the barrier. As soon as Sakuraryu was through, she brought her leg around, and scored her first hit in Kagami's stomach.
The blonde Angel went flying backwards, but quickly recovered. By the time Sakuraryu got to where the opponent had landed, Kagami was up, and getting more distance. 'Why does she want distance? Is there something she's hiding?' Sakuraryu leapt after her, and when she got close, Kagami began to glow yellow. In an instant, the Layer erupted with a blinding light.
'Buranshe's Hyper Mode! But Kagami's damage hasn't reached below 50. This Angel is soooooo confusing!' When the light faded, Kagami could be seen, floating above the Layer, arms spread wide. 'We have to try!' Sakuraryu jumped into the air, but when she got neat Kagami, the blonde Angel grabbed Sakura's wrist, and threw her back down at the Layer, knocking Sakura's damage points to 50. Kagami then went hurtling towards the Layer, and slammed into Sakuraryu's stomach. But Sakura grabbed Kagami's foot, and threw her across the Layer.
Kagami stood up, but didn't move anymore. Sakuraryu held her ground, and gave Kajuu an opportunity to think. 'Ok, she's used moves like Ranga, Wizard, and Buranshe. She likes to keep her distance, and never stays close for long...I have to try and get her at a close range! That's her weakness!! I've got it!' Kajuu brightened up, but the time was down to a minute. 'Please give it your all Sakuraryu!' Sakuraryu charged, and jumped into the air. Kagami back flipped, but Sakuraryu was already heading towards the Layer, aiming for the spot Kagami had just moved to.
It was too late for Kagami to move, so Sakuraryu came towards the Layer, and as she got close, she stuck out her hands. Her hands landed on Kagami's shoulder, and Sakuraryu was face to face with the blonde Angel. Then, Sakura shifted her weight so that as her feet came towards the Layer, Kagami slowly lifted into the air. When Sakura stood, Kagami flipped over, her back slamming into the Layer. Sakura hovered over Kagami, not wanting any distance between the two Angels. As soon as Kagami got to her feet, Sakuraryu targeted the edge of the Layer, and began a combination of kicks and punches. Once Kagami's damage points were low, Sakuraryu began the Gravity Charge attack.
She threw her hands behind her head, and did two back flips. As she pushed off the last back flip with her hands, silver wings sprouted out of the white haired Angel's back. She flew to the very top of the Layer. She did a series of spins as she did a head dive towards the Layer. She thrust her hands out and a ball of light formed in her hands and broke her fall, and as it made contact, it exploded. Sakuraryu could be seen flying out of the dust at top speed towards the ceiling.
Just as the time hit zero, so did Kagami's damage points. The dust cleared, and Kagami could lying on the surface of the Layer, with Sakuraryu right next to her. Sakura barely managed to stay in the fight, grasping on to one half of a point.
"Sakuraryu wins!"
Both Deus' removed their visors, and retrieved their Angels.
"That was so awesome Kakomi." Kajuu complimented Kakomi.
"Thanks. I still can't believe we lost though."
"I think you deserved that win." Kajuu said. Kakomi's head snapped back, as she looked at the Deus in front of her.
"I want a rematch someday. Oh, and you can call me Kako. It's my nickname." With a smile, the blue haired girl and her Angel walked to the waiting room.
"You'll get it." Kajuu whispered, returning to her own waiting room. Once back in the safety of the waiting room, Kajuu leapt into the air, hugging her Angel. "The Nationals!" she squealed. "We did it again! Let's not lose now!" She smiled at her Angel, and then left the stadium to get fresh air.

Hello all! A rather quick update, if I may say so myself. This Deus is one of my friends. She also has fanfics here on fanfiction.net under the penname of Kako. If you're into Yu Yu Hakusho, you'll like them. And also, she is a great writer for original fiction. Her penname there is Kakomi. She writes some great stories, so give them a try! Yeah, the only reason I'm advertising for her is because she let me put her Deus and Angel in my story, and didn't complain that she lost.
