Episode 3: White Kampfer

Suiryuu sighed as she sat inside her home, flipping through the channels with nothing good on. She was quite lucky that her parents were off on one of their famous tours. Their son had went along with a few. They liked to have benefit concerts for hunger relief, people who are worse off than them, and so much more.

"Nothing better than watching TV to relax after school," she said, stretching out on the couch and laying on her back, head turned on the side. So, the TV looked like it was on its side.

"I'm hungry!" called a voice from up the stairs. Suiryuu sat up, turning her head to the stairs.

"You don't eat anything, Dismembered Kitsune!" she shouted before falling back down onto the tan pillow. Like most of the furniture in her house, it was tan like the walls. There were a few family photos in frames, and a dark brown desk in a corner. In a glass cabinet a few fossils from the time they went to Canada. There was another couch near the one she was laying on forming a almost L shape.

There was a large window behind the TV with the blinds closed so that the sun wouldn't get in her eyes. The front door was barely ten feet away in the direction her head. Then, there was the tiled kitchen beside the staircase.

She was watching the news, with a lack of anything of her interest on. Not only that, but she wanted to see if the park incident would appear on the news. Nothing was even mentioned.

"Suiryuu! I'm thirsty!" Dismembered Kitsune called out again.

She sighed, closing her eyes trying to pretend she didn't hear the Entails animal.

"I'm thirsty!" he called out again.

"You're a stuffed animal! You don't eat, or drink!" she shouted again.

Silence came for a few minutes for the underdeveloped girl/boy before… "Suiryuu I have to-"

"SHUT UP! You don't need to do anything! You are a doll! A stuffed animal!" She was getting annoyed by the animal who was supposed to be her 'Messenger' whatever the hell that was.

"Suiryuu…I'm lonely!"

She leaned up and pulled the pillow from underneath her and smothered her face in it.

"This stupid animal will be the death of me…I swear one day it'll be the death of me!" The pillow garbled her words. Then, she decided to push the pillow off her face and turned the television off. She then walked up the stairs to where Dismembered Kitsune was.

Insider her room there was several posters, a bed, a desk with a computer and a bookshelf with a three legged fox doll on it. The walls were a emerald green, fitting her personality and eyes.

"Alright then, tell me about Kampfer since you're so lonely. Why are we supposed to fight, and why am I this small!"

The fox closed its eyes.

"So says the Moderator," Disembowelled Kitsune said, folding his two paws. "your small size gives you an advantage, you're more agile and quicker."

Her eye started to twitch at the word, small. She grabbed the fox and started to pull his intestines.

"DID YOU JUST CALL ME SMALL! You miniature pain in the ass! I should go toss you into a fire pit somewhere!"

"Owowow! Hey! Leave my intestines alone! How would you like it if I pulled yours!"

"In case you haven't noticed, asshole, mine are inside my body!"

"Oh…right…well…uh…" the fox seemed to be disappointed. "Blue and red Kampfer are supposed to fight, like the Moderators demand!"

"You've said that!" Suiryuu threw him against a wall. "I know about the different types of Kampfer, I want to know what I am!"

"Uhhhmmmmmm…I don't know…"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW!"

"I just don't! Besides, shouldn't you plan out what you're going to be wearing if you're stuck in this form for a while?"

"Wait, you mean I'll be stuck like this for longer than yesterday!"

"Time ranges from five minutes, to at least two to three days. Until, of course you learn how to control it."

Suiryuu walked over to the doll, picking it up and tossing him all the way to the other side of the room.

"Ouph!" Dismembered Fox groaned. "what was that for!"

"Being vague." Suiryuu sighed, flopping down onto her bed. "At least tomorrow's Saturday…maybe I'll be back to normal."

(~)

Suiryuu woke up…still the same.

"Nice…" she grumbled.

Within two hours, she was dressed in black sweatpants and a black t-shirt, with a piece of toast in hand.

"Alright then, Dismembered Fox, stay out of my garbage and my drawer!" she called out, slipping shoes onto her feet. "At least these fit…somewhat…" she sighed, walking towards the mall.

She disliked crowded places for many years. The mall on a Saturday was no exception. All of the students from her school were there…well, most of them.

Maybe I should have called someone…or something… Suiryuu thought, looking at the stores. But, I really don't know anyone… so…how will I go about this…?

"Suiryuu?" Said girl turned around to see a dark brown haired girl with red eyes. She wore a red t-shirt with a yellow tank top overtop, also a red skirt with yellow socks almost to said skirt.

She looked at this girl for a few minutes, not remembering this girl. Suiryuu folded her arms and tilted her head.

"Seri-seriously!"

"Sorry, not really…" she then brought one arm behind her neck.

The girl sighed rubbing her head. "I'm Mikoto!"

She thought back to the first day she became a Kampfer. "The one with the katana?"

"Yep! That's me!" she gave a peace sign. "So, whatcha doin here?"

Suiryuu looked down, then back up, then down.

"Oh! You're looking for new clothes if you turn into a Kampfer! Hmmm…I might be able to help with that."

Why does this seem planned out…? Suiryuu thought as Mikoto started to drag her away.

(~)

After an hour or so they came to the fifth store. Suiryuu was regretting the fact she had come down here. Was choosing cloths really that hard?

"Hmmmm," Mikoto was searching around the dresses.

She turned around, grumbling silently about how she disliked shopping. No matter what she was shopping for.

"Hmmm…maybe this?" Mikoto pulled out a black, sleeveless dress. She looked back at her, then at the dress. "Try this on."

"Uh…"

"Don't worry," Mikoto dragged her to the changing room, shoving her in along with the dress. A few minutes later, she came out in the black dress stopping at the middle of her thighs.

"Huh…I feel like I can run and do jumps…And…it fits…" Suiryuu said, folding her arms. "Alright…This feels rather set up…what's going on?"

"Uh…well…you see, guy troubles…" Mikoto poked her fingers.

Suiryuu sighed. "You think that just because I'm really a guy, that I can help?" She nodded, and Suiryuu sighed again. "…I'll try to help."

"You're paying for the dress too," Mikoto then added in.

"Kinda figured," she rubbed the back of her head.

(~)

After paying for the dress, the two went into the food court. Mikoto had gone to order some food for herself. Suiryuu was looking around trying to decide on what she would order for herself. She was wearing the dress.

"What to have…" she muttered, before being hit by a rock. "Ow." She turned around, frowning and rubbing her head. "Who the flying fu-" A white blur caught her eye amongst the crowd. "Hey! You!"

Just as Suiryuu disappeared into the crowd, Mikoto came back with her meal.

"You know, they have this awesome curry place-" she stopped, and looked around. "Ditched! Suiryuu…You little…huh?" she looked at her wrist, seeing that her contract bracelet was glowing. "A Kampfer is around…?"

Suiryuu darted around the people, following the girl that had thrown the rock at her. It was easy to track of her, the pink hair was a dead giveaway. She wore a different uniform than Suiryuu's school uniform. But, Suiryuu didn't get a good enough look at it before the girl darted behind another crowd.

"Fuck," she muttered, jumping over a bench as the girl came out of the crowd.

After chasing the girl through the mall, and down several blocks, she found herself in the park again.

"God dammit…back in here again?" she muttered, looking around for the girl. She was standing a little further ahead. In her hand was a chained kama, like the President's daggers. Only she didn't have a second one.

"I shouldn't underestimate you because you're the same size as me," she said throwing her kama. Suiryuu jumped backwards avoiding the kama as it stuck into the ground. Then, she simply twisted her wrist and the kama came out of the ground, flying straight at her. She then leapt off to the side and avoided the blade.

"Nice aim. I couldn't have done better. Oh wait, I could have," Suiryuu taunted as the kama went back to the girl. "Wait, I recognise you…"

The girl threw the kama again and this time, Suiryuu ducked down and grabbed the chain as it passed over here.

"Got you."

The girl smirked and pulled the chain, successfully pulling Suiryuu over and getting her to release her grip on the weapon.

"Oh really?"

"Nice one, Rika," Suiryuu muttered as she pushed herself up. Wiping dust from her dress.

"You've heard of me, traitor? Well, you can savour the name as you die," Rika said grabbing the kama again.

"How am I traitor? I'm just being me," Suiryuu frowned, readying herself to dodge again.

"Shorty, you should be fighting the reds, instead of teaming with them!"

Suiryuu's eye started to twitch. "You did NOT just call me shorty!" Acting on instinct, Suiryuu trusted her hand outwards, feeling something release from it. Then, Rika was tossed back, landing on her back. "What the…?"

"So, you're a wind Zauber, interesting," Rika said as she rose, readying herself to strike again. Suiryuu looked at her hand in shock. "Now that you know that, you can die in peace!"

She braced herself for when the kama would come. Instead, there was the sound of metal against metal.

"Not today. You're going to have to get through me," Suiryuu heard Mikoto say. She opened her eyes, and the white haired version of Mikoto was in front of her.

"Mikoto!"

"Well, this is too much trouble for now, but, don't think you've won for now." There was a sudden blinding light, and when it was gone Rika was gone.

"Two were around here. Why did they come after you?" She asked, her katana disappearing. "I think we should get out of here. And then, you can help me."

"I'm not the best one to as-" Suiryuu tried to complain, but was dragged away.

(~)

Suiryuu: Whew…we had troubles getting this one out. Author having work whenever he felt like writing.

Natsuru: Yeah…hey! There's a talent show for the girls side!

Suiryuu: And for once, I'm a guy again! But…for how long? Mikoto's probably already told Shizuku that I got attacked…But, I finally know what kind of Kampfer I am! Now…how did I do that?

Natsuru: …WHAT! I'm entered in the contest?

Suiryuu: Wonder what they'll have me do…but find out next time!
