Sheena and Raine came across a group of Shinobi fighting an even bigger group of masked assailants, and losing.
"Professor!" Sheena called out. "Magic!"
Raine nodded and closed her eyes, a hand held out as she yelled the magical words needed to activate the spells. Sheena joined the fray, hacking and slashing and using her seals. Around her she could see her shinobi, her people, falling down before the blade and magic spells. She used it to fuel her anger, but even so for every three she took down another four came to take their place, and more and more of her men were fallen, screaming out in pain and clutching torn arteries and broken limbs.
"Professor!" Sheena said again, desperate as the invaders closed in.
Raine continued chanting.
"Raine, hurry!"
"Revitalize!" Raine finally boomed, extending her staff to wave it over the battlefield. Suddenly, men who had had their entire arm chopped off sprang up again, fighting and winning this time. Raine sighed heavily, glad that most of the warriors of Mizuho used ex-spheres. Otherwise the magic wouldn't have worked half as well. Shaking her head, she began to murmur incantations again, warm wind blowing from nowhere and lightning and pure energy crackling around her.
"Ray!" she called again, and Sheena's forces surged forward, and bolts of light came from the sky, and not a single enemy was left.
"All right," Sheena said, not even taking a time to take a breath. She turned to face her people, showing herself to be truly their leader even when in a revealing silk sleeping gown. "They must've killed our sentries and that's how they got in so easily. I want you all to group into teams of five and go through all the houses. There's no telling how many are here, and they might have wounded some innocents."
'Damn,' Sheena thought, 'This wouldn't have happened if Mizuho hadn't gotten so much bigger over the last two years.' But out loud, she said, "Me and my companion will form our own team. What are you waiting for? Move!"
The ninjas all nodded and sped off to search the village, which actually had become more like a city.
Sheena trotted farther off where Raine was waiting, far away from the site of the actual battle. Another attacker was sprawled out on the floor next to her with a boot print imprinted in the fabric of his chest. "He tried to attack me so I wouldn't use more magic," Raine said brightly, kicking the man in the ribs. "What now?"
"I guess we should search for more of these losers," Sheena said. She sighed, wiping the sweat and blood off of her face. "I think giving orders is more tiring than fighting," she said.
"But they listened to you," Raine said. "I was impressed. You were definately the Chief's granddaughter in that moment."
Sheena flushed happily. "Really? Did I really look like that?"
"Of course. But now what do we do?"
Sheena sighed. "Look for more of those attackers, I- oh snap!" Sheena dropped to the floor again, a shuriken flying by over her head. She jumped up in the air as another one came low. Raine had put up her magical barrier and was unharmed. Sheena saw that the shuikens were those made by the shinobi of Mizuho and yelled out, "Hey! Stop it, stop it! It's me, Sheena! Stop attacking!"
There was silence from the darkness, and Sheena squinted, trying to see who it was. There was a flurry of movement and a figure in red fairly flew out of the darkness, launching shurikens and daggers at her even as he ran. Sheena blocked with her cards what she couldn't dodge and Raine took cover behind an open door, already reciting her magical words. Sheena stopped blocking at the last minute, ducking low and running up to the obviously confused ninja, who was roaring with anger and hate. Tripping him up, she manuvered him so that he fell on his face. Quickly falling on him, she pinned his arms behind his back and tried to calm him.
"Hey, hey, hey!" she said angrily. "I'm Sheena Fujibayashi, the next Chief of Mizuho!" She shoved his face into the ground. "Didn't you hear me? Shame on your family, for having such a reckless son! What if you had harmed me, eh? I could have even been an innocent villager!" She sighed and sat back, letting him go. "Now please, tell me your name and- whoa!" She fell back as he bucked her off and turned with a knife in hand, slashing wildly.
Thinking it could maybe be an enemy in disguise, Sheena yelled out, "You little rat!" and moved like greased lightning, using her power seals to knock him silly again, but not wanting to kill him because she wanted to interrogate him herself and find out why someone had attacked her village. Finally manageing to get him on the ground again, where his greater weight wouldn't really help him like it would in hand-to-hand fighting. She punched him square in the face, breaking his nose and bloodying his face. "How dare you dress as a noble shinobi of Mizuho?" she demanded. "Well? Answer me!" She peered down in the darkness, trying to see his face from behind the blood. But ultimately it was his voice that notified her of who he was.
"A rat, you say? A rat, like one who attacks while her enemy is on the ground?"he spat out, trying to wriggle free.
"Kuchinawa!"
A/N: Didn't expect that, didja? In my game she lost to Kuchinawa, if you want to know. He beat her into the ground, argh. You lucky people, you get two chapters in one day. That's because I'm really getting into this story, cause I've never done a yuri fic before and it's surprisingly like writinga yaoi one... Which is to say, 'fun', hahaha.
