ACT 3-Awaken
"Over here, Kuro!" Konoka waved to a black furry dog not bigger than she did and Kuro rushed towards to its master.
Konoka went on her knees and gave a hug to Kuro. She looked at the dog with a cheerful smile and looked at it's eyes...like it knew what Konoka is going to say.
Konoka asked, "I wonder what we will be doing today, Kuro? I am so happy that Se-Chan is staying with us! Aren't you glad that you too became our friend?"
Kuro gave a bark and wag it's tail as a sign of friendliness. Konoka smiled and started to hear footsteps from behind. She stood up and saw two females wearing white top gear and red skirts approaching her.
Konoka smiled at them "Se-Chan! Motoko Nee-Chan! Morning!"
Setsuna and Motoko answered her greetings with a bow "Morning, Konoka Ojou-Sama!"
"Se-Chan, do you want to go out in the woods today? It's a lovely day!" Konoka's eyes filled with enthusiasm, smiling at an embarrassed Setsuna.
"Are you sure, Kono-Chan? I don't know..."
"Come on, Se-Chan! It'll be fun!"
"Go ahead, Setsuna! I'll follow you from behind." Hearing Motoko's advice, Setsuna smiled.
"Okay. Let's go!"
"Hurray! Come on! Se-Chan! Kuro!" She held Setsuna by the hand and went out of the main gate together.
Motoko smiled at the two girls and begin to walk behind them...As she walked, she spotted Yukari coming out of the main hall.
The priestess smiled at Motoko "Morning, Motoko Sama."
" Morning, Yukari San." Motoko replied.
" Where is Konoka Ojou-san?" Yukari asked.
"She went to the woods with Setsuna. I am following them now." Motoko answered her.
" I see...Take care, Motoko Sama." She let go a small smile and walked off.
Motoko looked at her with a bit of uneasiness. She could sense that Yukari is hiding something. For the last two days, she felt that someone is watching them but she didn't want to scare the girls. Thanks to her, nothing has happened so far.
"Let's hope it's kept this way." She then walked into the quiet woods.
Setsuna held on to Konoka's hand and was getting embarrassed and excited. The last two days was an eye opener for her. Konoka showed her toys she could only dream about and the beautiful garden behind the main hall.
Setsuna felt like she was in a different place. From the day she started to know everything around her, it was just training and training. She never had a chance to see what the outside world was like...She never questioned why to Tsuruko or Motoko.
But now she feels the outside world was really...
"Woof!"
Setsuna looked at Kuro who is running beside them. Just yesterday, Kuro was just a stray dog, wandering around. Konoka was a bit scared when she saw Kuro the first time but Setsuna went in front of her and pointed her wooden sword at Kuro.
She whispered to Konoka "Don't worry, Kono-Chan. I will protect you!"
Konoka replied "You do? Thank you, Se-Chan!"
Of course, Kuro didn't do anything and When Motoko came, she tamed the little dog and tell the two girls that it's all right to be with Kuro. The two girls went near Kuro and stroke it...
"Look! Se-Chan!" Interupted, Setsuna looked at Konoka pointing at a long river stream.
" Let's go there!"
The two girls stopped in front of the fast stream and admiring its beauty.
"Isn't it beautiful, Se-Chan?" Konoka asked Setsuna.
"Yes, Kono-Chan."
Konoka placed her hand in one of her kimono pocket and pull out a small plastic ball. "Let's play catch!"
"Okay!" With a swing, Konoka threw the ball to Setsuna
Setsuna caught of it and return the ball back to her. Kuro was excited about the throwing around and started running around them.
Then the ball fell into the river.
"I get it!" Konoka answered.
" I should get it, Kono-Chan!"
"It's okay!" Konoka ran into the fast stream where the ball is being pulled away by the fast currents.
Little did they both suspected that someone or something is watching them in the hidden forest.
Konoka almost reached the ball and went on her knees when all of a sudden, a small object hit Konoka's ankle and she suddenly went down!
Setsuna saw Konoka went down into the river. She immediately rushed to her! But the fast currents pushed Konoka away from her!
Konoka was gasping for air and she couldn't feel her legs. She did the only thing she could!
"Se-Chan! Help!"
Setsuna ran along the riverbank hoping she could catch hold of her but the currents are moving too fast.
She looked in front, hoping for a stoppage but nothing! She knew that if she don't do something, Konoka will be swept away! She knows what is supposed to be done!
"Hold on! Kono-Chan! I am coming!"
She jump into the river and rushed towards Konoka In her heart, she is not a good swimmer and only just started taking swimming lessons from Motoko but screw it!
Konoka is drowning!
She swam faster but the currents are pushing her away from Konoka! "...Must hold on..."
"Se-Chan! Help!" Konoka swallow some water and struggling to hold on.
She could see Setsuna is moving towards her but it seems like an eternity. She could feel that her body is getting tired by the seconds...
"Kono-Chan!"
She saw Konoka's head is submerging into the water. She struggled harder but her body is getting tired...
" ...No..I...Can't give up...I must...save...Kono..." Her body is also reaching her limits...
She is holding on but every seconds...Konoka is moving further away from her...
"Kono..Ka..."
She felt this is it...but all of a sudden! An arm grabbed her body and pull her out of the water!
Setsuna could barely see who was it and could only see a blurred vision of a long-haired person then her world went into darkness...
"Se-Chan...Se-Chan..." Setsuna could hear her name but her world was in total darkness...she struggled to find where is it coming from...
Then she saw a light at the end...
" Se-Chan!" Setsuna opened her eyes and she saw Konoka and Motoko next to her.
"Se-Chan! You're all right!" Konoka smiling at Setsuna.
"Kono-Chan..."
"If it wasn't for Kuro's continuous barking, you two could have been swept away by the currents..."
"You saved us, Motoko Nee-Chan?"
Motoko nod "Yes...Can you move?"
"Yeah..."She pulled herself together and stood up...
"Come on, you gals need to wash up!"
The three girls began to walk back to the Mansion.
Back at the mansion, as Konoka and Setsuna are getting ready to take a bath.
" I am sorry, Se-Chan! If I didn't want to get the ball, you wouldn't..." Konoka spoke.
Setsuna looked at her and started to cry.
Konoka wondered and asked "What's wrong, Se-Chan?"
"I am sorry, Kono-Chan! I should be the one getting the ball. I should be able to save you but...I couldn't!"
"It's okay...It's not your fault! As long you are all right, I am glad." Konoka replied.
"But...Kono-Chan! I am supposed to protect you! But..."
Tears kept on running her eyes. Konoka could felt her failure and hug her.
She cried before once. Her mother's Dead Bed. Konoka couldn't do anything then and saw her mother passed on. Eventually, she cried the whole day until her father came and consoled her with a hug.
"Don't cry, Se-Chan...I am here for you..." She didn't notice tears are coming out from her eyes too.
Nightfall.
Motoko walked around the main hall. Her mind is cracking. Cracking over today's incident.
She initially thought it was just an accident but Konoka told her that her ankle felt a sting and her legs lost all of her strength. It couldn't be a sea creature as that stream has no marine life that could do such an attack.
Could it be someone who know that Konoka will be there so they could...
"I only told her...don't tell me it's her?" Motoko wondered.
She looked around and started searching "her".
Motoko went to the two girls' room and found Setsuna and Konoka fast asleep. She felt at ease and continued walking on hoping she could find "her".
After ten minutes, at a far corner of the Mansion.
"I wonder where she went?" Motoko looked around.
Then she heard footsteps on her right. She hid behind the wall and peek to see if it is she.
"Yukari."
Yukari was walking alone with a lantern on her hand and looking around.
Like she is hoping no one is seeing her.
Motoko sneaked closer and hid near a bush. She saw Yukari stopped in front of a big tree and took out something from her pocket.
She placed the object on her mouth and a sound was made and a Shadowy figure appeared from behind Yukari.
Motoko know immediately that Yukari is not what she really is.
The shadow spoke "You failed."
The voice sounded muffled like someone is wearing a mask.
"If it wasn't for that Shin Mei Ryu brat, we could have caught hold of the Mistress!" Yukari spoke to the dark figure.
"The master will not be pleased."
"You tell him that I will have Konoka! Make my words!"
"Very well, we will see..."
Motoko had enough! Yukari is definitely a spy and she wants to kidnap Konoka! Konoe Sama was worried about this. That's why he wants her and Setsuna to protect Konoka!
She came out of the bushes and confronted...
"Yukari!"
Yukari was shocked by her appearance! The shadow saw Motoko and disappeared into the darkness!
Yukari was shocked by Motoko's appearance "You!"
"I heard everything! You are sent here to kidnap Konoka Ojou-San! Why?"
Yukari let go an evil laugh!
"You need not to know! But since you know...I can't let you live!" She started chanting and a bright light appeared in front of Yukari!
"What the...?" Motoko was blinded by the light.
The lights were flashing brightly and when it was over, Motoko saw a two-legged creature!
The dark skin made it rough and it has a horn on it's head. It has ugly fangs and holding a club!
"A Zenki?" Motoko looked.
Yukari smiled and stand beside at the Zenki. "That's right, My Zenki, My protector! Now finish her off!"
The Zenki gave out a roar! It moved at incredible speed and swings the club at Motoko!
Motoko could not pull out her sword in time and used the sheath to shield the attack! She could felt the pressure from the Zenki's strength and it is pushing her down!
" Got to...No!"
She saw Yukari has run into the hall! She's probably going after Konoka...but how to stop this creature?
She felt that her strength is failing her. The Zenki is glaring with evil.
Motoko gave a deep breath and focus her energy on her hands. Tsuruko once taught her how to use Ki energy to create a temporary force shield around her.
Out of ten times she tried, she only manages to success two or three times...Maybe it might work this time! "Must...focus..." She could sense the Ki energy surrounding her body and with one final ounce of strength.
She let go a battle cry.
"HAAAAA!"
A blue shield materialized around her and the Zenki was repelled back and landed on the ground!
Motoko saw the chance and pull her sword out from the sheath.
She concentrated her energy on her sword and with a swing "San Fu Ken!"
An energy wave swings out from her sword and dashed towards the Zenki! The Zenki held the club in a defensive position and blocked the wave immediately!
Motoko saw her attack blocked by the Zenki and held the sword tighter.
"Got to finish this fast!"
She is worried for Konoka and Setsuna! If Yukari got hold of Konoka, Konoe Sama is not going like it!
Setsuna opened her eyes. She felt Ki energy being released...Something is going on and it is not good news! Setsuna heard fast footsteps from outside! She took out her wooden sword that is hidden under the futon.
When the door opened, Setsuna saw Motoko in front of her! She was panting and quickly rushed into the room.
"Motoko Nee-Chan! What happened?"
"There is an intruder! Se-Chan! We got to get out of here!"
"An intruder! Who is it?" Setsuna asked.
"I don't know! But we better find a safe place! Let's go! Se-Chan!"
Setsuna looked at Motoko and pointed her sword at her.
Setsuna's sudden movement stunned Motoko!
"What is this, Se-Chan? We got to go!"
"Who are you?"
Motoko smiled at her "Why, Se-Chan? I am Motoko. Your Nee-Chan..."
"You are not Motoko Nee-Chan! The real Motoko never call me Se-Chan! Only Konoka is allowed to call me that!" Setsuna shouted back at Motoko!
Motoko stood up and let go an evil laugh!
Setsuna went infront of a sleeping Konoka and held her sword pointing at Motoko.
"Well the cat is out of the bag." Motoko snap her fingers and in an instant, it was Yukari standing.
Setsuna was surprised that it was Yukari in disguse "Yukari-san! What's going on?"
"As you can see, I am taking Konoka away and there is nothing you can do to stop me!" Yukari smeared at Setsuna.
" I won't let you take Konoka Ojou-San away!" Setsuna firmly held her sword.
Yukari gave out a sigh "Very well, it's nothing personal."
She raised her right hand and a beam came out! Seeing the beam heading toward her, she blocked the beam with her sword but the pressure pushed her off and her whole body went straight to the wall!
"Ouch!" Setsuna screamed!
Konoka was awaken by the disturbances and rubbed her eyes "Se-Chan..."
Seeing Konoka awaken, Yukari quickly chanted a verse and pointed her fingers at Konoka and she immediately felt asleep again.
Yukari carried Konoka out of the room and ran out! Setsuna opened her eyes and could see Yukari running off with Konoka.
"Kono-Chan..I..." Her body is still in pain after this morning but her mind is still strong!
Setsuna could only wished that she could be stronger...
"If only...I could be more...stronger..."
She closed her eyes...then...
(Do you want it?)
Setsuna heard a voice in her mind.
(Who is it?)
(Do you want to be strong?)
(Yes! I want to protect Kono-Chan!)
(Then release your anger! Release me from my slumber! And you will have power!)
Setsuna felt a sense of anger and scream with all her might!
"ARRHHHHHH!"
She could feel that her back was in pain! Something is forcing its way out! She felt like a sword piercing her in and out again and again!
She held on with the only faith she believes!
"Konoka"
The room exploded!
Motoko heard the explosion and saw the smoke coming out of the mansion "Konoka...Setsuna!"
Yukari felt the impact and looked at the chaos. The smokes were covering everywhere. Yukari stood still with Konoka still on her arms and was about to move on when she could hear something.
Something flapping...like bird's wings.
Yukari turned again and looked around. There is no one around but the flapping is getting louder!
Then she looked up!
"What the? You!"
She saw a figure in the sky A figure that has feathered wings behind her back.
The moonlight shone at it. It was Setsuna.
She held her sword in an offensive position and dived towards Yukari!
"You are...!"
Before she could continue, Setsuna swings down and strike Yukari's head! She fell and dropped Konoka to the ground!
Setsuna make another pass before striking another blow at Yukari!
This time it's her back!
"Ouch! You little brat!"
Yukari heard someone else is coming! A long haired girl with a sword on her running towards them!
Yukari realized that the odds are against her "Shoot! Two of them!"
"Yukari! Stop!" Motoko shouted at her.
Yukari threw out a smoke bomb from her pocket and the field was lingering with gas!
"Come back here!" The smoke was cleaned off and Motoko saw Konoka lying down, unharmed.
" Konoka Ojou-San!" Motoko carried Konoka up, still asleep and then Setsuna came down to the ground.
Motoko looked at Setsuna's appearance. She couldn't believe what she saw.
Setsuna has wings?
Setsuna looked at Motoko and Konoka and spoke "Is Kono-Chan all right?"
"Yes...she is fine." Motoko replied.
Setsuna smiled "That's good."
She closed her eyes and fainted The wings began to shrike by itself and entered back into her body.
" Setsuna...what has happened to you?" Motoko looked at Setsuna with questions while the mansion is still burning under the bright moonlight...
TO BE CONTINUED...
Auth notes: So you know what Setsuna's real identify? Yes, she belongs to a race of winged humans...but where she did come from? I have no idea actually...but don't worry! I will figure that one out! But why Konoka is a target? Who is the shadow figure? How will Setsuna accept who she really is? About Yukari? She is a Jyufutsukai or Yin Yang Master. For more details, go and read Negima Vol 4 when Setsuna explained more of them and the Zenki creature...Okay! See you in the next chapter!
