CHAPTER 5: Beginning
"Didn't I just saw Mokona just a few minutes ago?"
"She just went out playing tops and then she's g-"
"She's GONE?!"
"No she isn't, you idiot. She just going to take a bath in the river."
"That made me feel bit relieved. Thanks, Sango."
With that, Amar Ma'aruf ran off to the nearest river…
…but Sango didn't know that Amar Ma'aruf was a fake. The real Amar Ma'aruf was sleeping at his room after his lunch!
River
"Mokona? Mokona, are you around?"
"Eh, inu-no-nii-chan! I thought you were sleeping…"
"I didn't. Well… I did, and after that I used Tsubasa to surf the Internet."
"Did you check your e-mail?"
"No."
After drying herself with a towel she brought from her time, Mokona started putting on back her clothes. While she's putting them on, something hit her in realization.
"Mokona…?"
Running in front of that fake Amar Ma'aruf, she steadfastly yelled… "You're not inu-no-nii-chan! Who the heck ARE you?"
"What are you talking about, Mokona?" Amar Ma'aruf retorted.
"Na ne… so smart of you to fool me, eh? But remember this, Naraku… you can't fool a Yamato like me! The first thing that inu-no-nii-chan ALWAYS do when he turn on the Internet is to check his e-mails!"
The puppet gave a fiendish smile, something Amar Ma'aruf didn't have. Giving an evil laugh, he transformed to Naraku.
"How smart, fox kit."
"Thank you."
"Now if are ready, now is the perfect time to kill you and absorb your powers."
"Na ne, I'm always ready."
Naraku let out an evil laugh (A/N: I got that his' are similar to Dracula's in the Dance of Illusion PC Engine mix. So damn similar!) before he started attacking.
While Naraku was confusing the fox hanyou, Mokona steadily knelt down, holding a number of leaves in her hands. She then threw it all in the air, yelling " Kitsune Ability, Panchor Jackhammer!"
"What are you doing, fox?"
Mokona held the lightweight combat shotgun in her hands, gripping it tightly.
"You think that toy of yours could defeat me?"
"Na ne, this is no toy, and now I'm going to punch holes on you!"
The Jackhammer roared through the sky, spitting shotgun pellets one shell after another.
She is as dangerous as that human. I might as well play along.
Naraku kept pushing her, but Mokona only use her shotgun. That dark lord tried to pierce the hanyou with his roots, and while he's using it, Mokona started to fly.
"Be gone, vile monster!"
The pellets was shot, and they were aimed precisely every second, and Naraku evaded her.
Now's my chance! Mokona thought, landing back on the ground. "Kitsune-bi!"
"You're pathetic."
"No I'm not! Crissaegrim Cutter!" Mokona slung the automatic shotgun on her back, switching to her sharp claws. She then mimicked Amar's technique, throwing vacuum blades at Naraku.
"Is that all you got?"
"This is just the beginning! Electric Star!"
Using her mirroring powers, Mokona called lightning bolt that crashed down on Naraku. It's a powerful attack, albeit that it's a copy.
"Where did he go?"
"Right here, kit." Naraku spoke behind Mokona, only to find out that her feet had smacked his face.
Mokona backed away seeing she had managed to hit the hostile unit. Naraku rubbed his hand gently at the spot where Mokona's feet came into contact.
"You're good."
Mokona didn't answer or anything as she just stared at Naraku with jaded eyes while she's in her stance.
For a kit, Mokona's a tough girl. Good thing she learned how to defend herself while the enemy is too near. Resha was right after all.
"Looks like you got me. I'm impressed. Your potential is something I couldn't explain with words."
"Enough talk."
"Fine then. We'll meet each other again some other time soon."
Naraku disappeared beneath the thin air. The two-tailed fox dropped her hands to her side, meaning that she's at ease.
"Modoki, can you hear me?"
Yes. I can hear you.
As Modoki spoke, Mokona's body pulsed.
"Should we continue doing something else?"
Like what, dear?
"Maybe like getting back to the workshop."
I'm with you, Mokona. Let's finish up the motorcycle that came in yesterday.
"Okay. If you say so."
Mokona got back to the campsite, telling the others about her intention. She then flew back to the well, getting through it and rushing to the workshop.
"I had enough of adventure for one day." The yellow fox muttered when she got into her workshop.
A/N: Ah, finally, another chapter for MSP. If you read this, I had thrown in some new stories, along with upgrades of some other stories. Not one, but (I think) eleven different chapters and two new stories. So keep on reading and reviewing. TQ.
