Okies, Q&A Time!!!
Q from Jamfase:
What's with Kazan being Kajuu's Second?
A from Mugen!:
After a while (during the school year, last tournament, etc.) Kajuu and Kazan have grown to be great friends. They practice with each other, and help each other with battle tactics. This is why Kajuu always looks forward to fighting Kazan. When Kazan was knocked out in the Regionals, and Kajuu was informed of needing a Second who knew how to repair Angels, and knew a lot about the Deus and Angel, Kajuu decided to ask Kazan to be her Second.
Still confused? E-mail me…you need help ^.^

One Second Counts: Year Two – Kajuu's Turn to Shine
"So, what do you think about the other Angel?" Kajuu asked her Second. They were sitting outside, placed near an announcement TV.
"Well, she and her Deus have had a lot of experience in the Layer. She has major emphasis on defense, but that shouldn't be a problem for Sakuraryu, because she has enough power to bring Kyoko's defense to almost normal levels." Kazan sighed, and put her hand up to her chin in thought.
Suddenly, the TV's background color of pink changed to gold, which meant a new announcement was being posted. The two girls leaned forward, even though the TV was as big as the battle TV. The announcement read:
The rematch for Deus Kiriyou Kajuu and Deus Takanouchi Sakura will be held at 3:00 pm. Both Deus' should be ready and in the waiting room with their Angels and Seconds by 2:50 pm.
Sincerely,
The Angelic Layer Tournament Staff
"Well," Kajuu looked at her wrist, where her watch should be. "Eh?" She called in surprise when it wasn't there.
"We have about 30 minutes. Why don't we go to the Angel Information Center and do some research on Takanouchi and Kyoko?" Kazan asked.
"There's an Angel Information Center?" Kajuu said, still looking around her for her watch.
"Yeah. They put them in when they added the requirement for a Second. I can print out some information and bring it to my desk at the match." Kazan laughed as Kajuu realized that her watch was on the redhead's wrist.
"Give it back!" Once the watch was returned to its owner, the two girls walked to the Angel Information Center.
*_*_*
"E-Tie-Breaker, Kiriyou Kajuu and Haiiro Kazan?" The call came for the Dues and Second at 2:55 pm. They stood up, and walked to their spot, and waited to be called.
"Angelic Layer fans!" The announcer addressed the already screaming crowd. "This next fight is the Tie-Breaker between two very skilled Deus'. They had their first match, which ended in a draw, and now they will battle once again to decide which is worthy to continue. In the East Corner, Deus: Kiriyou Kajuu, Angel: Sakuraryu, and their Second: Haiiro Kazan!!!!!!!!!" The two walked out, and took their respective places. "And in the West Corner, Deus: Takanouchi Sakura, Angel: Kyoko and their Second: Shirakawa Ryuzo!" The crowd roared excitedly at the mention of each Deus' name. Again, when each person was in their spot, equipment on and everything, the chairs were raised.
"The last Layer these Angels battled in was the Night Sky. Now, they will battle here!" The Layer shifted forms, and became a field of snow. The snow was still falling, and the wind began to pick up. "The Angel's will be battling in a blizzard! Will they be able to brave the storm? Angels to the Layer!"
"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. The wind tugged at her clothes and hair, blowing them every which way. She stood up, and spread her feet for balance.
"Kyoko, you are what you know and you know you can win! On the wings of an angel, fly to victory!" Sakura threw her Angel in. "Angel, fall-in!" Kyoko fell through the Layer, doing three somersaults in midair. She landed on her hands and used them as a springboard to go back several feet. Her clothes and hair were also ruffled.
"Angelic Fight!"
Kajuu could barely see through the snow. Sakuraryu ran forward, trying to find the opposing Angel. As she ran, the wind abruptly changed direction, and was now blowing hard against the lightweight Angel. She flew backwards, where Kyoko stood, foot sticking out. Sakuraryu could do nothing to oppose the wind, and was thrown right into Kyoko's foot. Her back snapped, and she fell to the ground.
Kyoko then leapt into the air and landed on Sakuraryu's stomach with both feet. Kyoko imitated her last move, but this time, Sakuraryu crossed her arms in front of her face, and put up her shield. Kyoko slammed into the shield, and was thrown back. Even though Kyoko never hit Sakuraryu, she still registered half a point of damage.
"~Kajuu, you can't use her shield to often. It takes away some of Sakuraryu's hit points. Use it sparingly.~"
Kajuu nodded to herself, as Sakuraryu stood up. Kyoko swung her arm for a wind attack, but as she did, the wind changed direction again, causing Kyoko's attack to backfire. The red-haired Angel flew backwards, giving Sakuraryu an opening for an attack. Despite Sakuraryu's lack of superior speed, she was able to quickly reach Kyoko due to the wind. She leapt into the air, and imitated Kyoko's move. Right after the hit, Kyoko stood up, and came after Sakuraryu with an onslaught of punches. Sakuraryu defended, and moved away at the last second, so the damage was light. But Kyoko did one punch that hit Sakuraryu in the jaw. Sakuraryu's head snapped back, and with the momentum, she put her hands behind her head, and grabbed Kyoko around the neck with her feet, and threw her across the Layer. The wind was blowing with Kyoko, helping her to go farther towards a Layer Out.
Kyoko hit the snow, which piled up behind her as she slid through it. Kyoko lay there, barely missing a Layer Out, motionless. Sakuraryu charged, but the wind changed, blowing her sideways. Sakuraryu immediately threw herself at the ground to avoid the strong wind that might eventually blow her out of the Layer. She began to crawl to where Kyoko lay. Both Angel's got up at the same time, and Kyoko threw a punch with her right fist, which Sakuraryu grabbed with her left hand. Kyoko then did the same with her left fist, which Sakuraryu grabbed with her right hand.
Before Kyoko could kick, Sakuraryu uncrossed her arms, which caused Kyoko to turn around, her back now facing Sakuraryu. The wind was blowing against the two Angels, making it difficult for Kyoko to go forward. 'Do this with everything you've got Sakuraryu!' Sakuraryu generated a powerful kick, which slammed into Kyoko's back. Kyoko went flying out of the Layer, and landed with a soft 'click' on the ground.
"Layer Out! Sakuraryu wins!!!" The crowd grew louder. Kajuu took off her visor, and went to pick up Sakuraryu. After getting her Angel, Kajuu turned to Sakura.
"Great matches." Kajuu smiled.
"Thanks…" Sakura shook Kajuu's hand.
"Your Angel is so awesome! I hope to battle you again!" Kajuu said.
"Your pretty cool yourself." Sakura smiled as the Deus each went their own way.
*_*_*
"Great job Kajuu!!!" Kazan squealed once they were back in the waiting room.
"Nah…Takanouchi deserved to win more than I did."
"Ah, be quiet! You ALWAYS say that." Kazan said as the girl hugged each other and headed to the Angel Information Center to check out the next Angel and Deus.
