Author's Note: Here's the next chapter. Enjoy.
The news of a possible new enemy was soon talked about amongst both Kenshiro and Toki as they sat on the couch at the Mizuno apartment.
"What you are saying is that this new enemy specifically targets one person as opposed to a large mass of people?" asked Toki.
"That is from what I have seen." replied Kenshiro.
Toki sighed in frustration as she ran her fingers through her hair. This was not going to be an easy assignment. There were millions of people living in Japan. Looking for the one person that would possibly be targeted and possessed by a monster would be liking looking for a needle in a haystack.
Thankfully, Toki had noted that the Dark Kingdom had enjoyed attacking this part of the world. She could not blame them. The island nation had a huge population condensed into a small area. Extracting energy from this part of the world would suit their needs and cost them little effort.
However, that made them predictable. Toki was banking on the fact that all their victims would be limited to just in this city.
That made the job easier but not by much. It was by blind luck that Kenshiro was able to find the monster inhabiting the tennis player not long ago. The only indication of possession was sudden aggression and a near psychotic urge to finish tasks or to compete.
This alone was not enough to truly single out a person that would be possessed.
"Is there anything that you can tell me that could perhaps make this easier Kenshiro? I need some more information to truly form a strategy." said Toki tiredly.
"The one involved is a man by the name of Maxfield Stanton though that may only be a pseudonym. He emitted a terrible aura that was far stronger than that of Jedite. I am certain that he is an agent of the Dark Kingdom and that his presence will indicate any further possessions that are to take place." replied Kenshiro.
"I'm going to ask you to keep a close eye. Hone your senses and let me know of any abrupt changes to a person's behavior and aura. That should give away any sort of plan that this Maxfield person has in store." replied Toki.
Kenshiro soon stood up as she walked toward the front door.
"Then its settled. I'll be on my way." replied Kenshiro as she soon took her leave and left the apartment, leaving Toki to herself.
The blue haired girl wandered about her apartment and took a bit of time to reflect on their past experiences so far.
She did not like where any of this was going.
Not only that but the battle with Jedite still had her on edge.
When originally told about the Dark Kingdom, she had thought them to be nothing more than a bunch of brainless monsters out for human blood and that her job was to simply annihilate them and be done with it. Any leader or monarch that they may have would probably be black hearted and evil, not worth the dirt they stood on. While Toki used Hokuto Shin Ken to heal the weak and sick, she did not hesitate into using it to utterly destroy any sort of evil that came her way.
Many of the men she had slaughtered back in her original world were nothing more than the shit stains of the world. They raped, they pillaged, and they slaughtered without remorse. Heartless men that she had seen personally destroy the lives of so many innocents trying to live their lives. And for what? Food? Gasoline for their motorcycles or possibly a harem of women that they chose to ravage before slaughtering them like cattle?
No, Toki had no trouble killing the likes of them. She would bring them down, break them apart and force them to endure the worst pain imaginable before dying a gruesome and bloody death.
However the battle with Jedite had opened her eyes and she suddenly realized that the enemy she was told to fight was not quite as heartless or cruel as she was led to believe.
Despite being a monster with supernatural powers, Titus was very serious in her love and adoration for Jedite. That she loved Jedite so much that she went into harm's way and sacrificed her life just so that Jedite would live.
Titus, a monster, was more human than any of the motorcycle riding scum bags that Toki had encountered in her original world.
How Jedite mourned her death and regretted not having reciprocated her feelings sooner. That his eyes became so lifeless after the death of Titus.
That was what disturbed Toki the most.
Their enemy were not just brainless monsters. They were living beings fighting for their survival. That each of these creatures were able to feel joy, sorrow, love and remorse for their actions. That they had their own dreams that they wished to reach.
And when Toki thought of it, they were not horribly cruel in their methods. If left to their own devices they would simply siphon energy away from a person until they were unconscious and then leave. If the person died, it would be a painless death. No doubt this energy was going toward a bigger objective of theirs but Toki could not help but think that the Dark Kingdom was very civil when it came to their methods and only turned monstrous when confronted.
Toki sighed as she thought of this.
Was what they were doing the right thing? Is the Dark Kingdom truly as evil as she was being led to believe? It was not like humanity was any better. Toki knew that for a fact as she had witnessed horrors far too gruesome to be repeated, yet all were caused by humans.
She knew that she was going nowhere with this. Toki cleared her mind as she then prepared herself to go to bed. It would do her no good to question her objectives now. She would wait until their enemy was forced to reveal their hand.
It would only be until then that she would know.
Kenshiro kept a bored expression on her face as she listened to Naru drawl on and on about how boring their sewing class was.
While the blond haired girl was not fond of sewing class herself, she did not need this peppy red-head to remind her just how boring the class was.
"So anyway, I was just sitting their and daydreaming about what I was going to do later on in the day and-"
Naru did not finish as Umino suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Naru yelped in surprise before shouting at the bespectacled boy.
"You need to stop doing that Umino, its so creepy!" cringed Naru in disgust.
"Well, you won't be complaining once I tell you this little bit of news. Apparently, Miss Akiyama is getting married. And the best part is that the man she's marrying is a computer sales man!" cried Umino in joy.
"Eww. I can't believe Miss Akiyama could not do better than that, she is such a lovely lady. I know when I get married, its going to be with a handsome, rich man that is willing to hold me whenever I want." said Naru as her eyes gleamed as she fantasized about her dream husband.
"Well I for one don't care how my wife looks just as long as she accepts me and my spider collection!" quipped Umino.
Naru made a face of disgust as she heard this.
"You're such a geek, you know that Umino? That's why no girl likes you. Girls don't LIKE geeks." said Naru rather harshly.
Umino's face fell as he heard this. It seemed like his feelings were genuinely hurt.
"I-I get it. I'll be leaving you alone. I'm sorry I bothered you Naru. And you too Usagi." replied Umino sadly as he soon sulked off.
Naru's face fell into that of guilt over what she said.
"Usagi do you think I went too far?" asked Naru in concern.
Kenshiro turned to regard the ginger headed girl. She truly was a child to say such harsh words to a well meaning boy. It was not like he hurt her or anything.
"Love cannot be defined over looks or personal possession. Such things are superficial once your feelings are realized. I can only hope that you understand that one day." replied Kenshiro almost solemnly as she soon got up and proceeded to leave a guilt ridden Naru behind.
Later that day, Higure Akiyama was at the front of a bridal store. She sighed as she looked at the various fabrics used to sample dresses.
She could not afford them. While she made good money as a teacher, there was simply no way that she could pay such an exonerate amount and not have her tight budget suffer.
The sewing teacher really wanted to look beautiful for her wedding day. While she was a beautiful woman, she was a late bloomer only coming into her beauty once she was grown up in her early twenties. High school was a terrible time for her as she was reminded of her lacking figure and the acne on her face. Even after maturing she still felt insecure in her skin even though there was no reason for it. Such was the trauma she still suffered from her childhood.
This lack of self-esteem would soon become her undoing as she felt that she could only look beautiful if the fabric on her dress was of top quality. She did not want to disappoint her groom.
It was on this that Mr. Maxfield Stanton was able to pick up on as he approached the woman.
"Such a solemn face does not suit a beautiful woman such as yourself."
Higure Akiyama yelped a bit in surprise before turning around to find herself face to face with the most stunning man she had ever seen. Long, auburn hair, brawny arms, a strong face and chest made of granite were an amazing mix of delicate and masculine. She found herself blushing beside herself.
"Oh you must not mean me. I'm not that pretty." said Higure Akiyama shyly.
Maxfield Stanton smiled at how easy all of this was going by. He knew that this woman was going to be his next victim.
"Nonsense. I am not known for my tact in my line of work. I call it as I see it and I see a stunning woman with a face that she be smiling not frowning." said Maxfield Stanton with a smooth, yet confidant voice.
"Y-Your making blush." stammered Higure Akiyama. She was clearly not used to this praise.
"If you don't mind me asking, why are you so glum today?" asked Maxfield.
"I-I'm about to get married yet I don't want to look ugly on the wedding day. I thought that if I bought a good fabric maybe I could look pretty enough for my husband." replied Higure Akiyama, not sure why she was confiding in this stranger.
Maxfield stood there as he listened. He soon spoke.
"Your fiance is a lucky man to be getting married to you. The fabric will not do anything for you. You are too pretty to be concerned about that." said Maxfield, knowing very well that reverse psychology was the best way to get people to do what he wanted.
"I thank you for your flattery but I really want that fabric. This is going to be a special day and I want to make sure that I am prepared." said Higure, a bit more serious this time.
"I see that you are not going to change your mind. If that's the case, why haven't you bought it?" asked Maxfield.
"Too much money. There is only so much that a teacher can afford and a fabric like this isn't one of those." replied Higure sadly.
Maxfield Stanton knew exactly what he was going to do but played the part by standing there, pretending to be in thought. Soon, he made his move.
"Tell you what. Since I am both in a good mood and can't stand seeing such a pretty woman frown, I will do you the favor and buy the fabric for you. Just choose the one you want and I'll get it." said Maxfield.
Higure Akiyama's eyes widened in surprise.
"Y-You mean it? Is there a catch?" asked a excited yet cautious Akiyama.
"I mean it. The cost is nothing to me. The only thing I want is to be invited to the wedding is all." said Maxfield Stanton with the most sincere smile.
Higure Akiyama had to prevent herself from hugging the man in front of her. She could not believe her luck!
"T-Thank you! You don't know how much this means to me!" said Akiyama as she smiled brightly.
"That's what I want to see. I'm glad to have made you happy. Let's go and pick something out." said Maxfield.
The two walked into the store and Akiyama soon found the fabric she wanted.
"This is the one I want."
"Let me see." said Maxfield.
Maxfield Stanton held the fabric close to him while grinning evilly. He placed his energy into it and soon, it was marked. He handed the fabric back to Akiyama.
"This fabric is beautiful. Soft to the skin yet durable as well. The light pink hue will compliment your skin tone perfectly." said Maxfield.
"Then I'll take it!" said Akiyama happily.
"Glad to hear it." smiled Maxfield.
Over the course of the next few days Kenshiro had been on the alert waiting to see if anything unusual was to happen. So far, she had not noticed anything quite suspicious.
This soon changed as she was on her way home, alongside Naru, who were both walking toward their respective homes.
"You know Usagi, I thought alot about what you told me yesterday and realized you were right. I have no right to judge anyone on who they marry. If Miss Akiyama wants to marry unattractive man then she can if she truly wants to. I guess I was jealous, you know. I never even had a boyfriend." frowned Naru.
"If it makes you feel better, I don't have one either." replied Kenshiro rather dryly.
"Oh Usagi, stop being such a kidder. I know that there are guys who are interested in you. I see them looking at you and I can tell they SO want to ask you out. Its just that you are so pretty that they probably are too scared to ask. I wish somebody could pay attention to me like that. I have no one." lamented Naru once more.
Kenshiro was rather surprised when she heard of Naru's concerns. In her original world, girls Naru's age were more concerned about the next time they could eat and whether or not their homes would be invaded by rough riders. The thought of any sort of romance was a fantasy that few girls got to enjoy in her own world.
With neither hunger nor dangerous circumstances occupying her mind, Naru had much to time to devout to romantic tendencies. It was something new for Kenshiro to see but she did her best to counsel her friend.
"I can't pretend to know what you are going through, but what I can tell you is that you must stop searching. Doing so will become your undoing. You have criteria for a certain kind of man that you want. If a man does not mean that criteria then you will think nothing of him. Let me ask you. If Umino were to proclaim his feelings to you, what would you say?" asked Kenshiro.
"I would tell him that he's a creep and needs to bug off." replied Naru with a face of disgust.
"Okay, but imagine if it were Maxfield Stanton."
"Then it would be so dreamy and romantic!" replied Naru with hearts in her eyes.
"See what I mean? You automatically rejected Umino due to his not meeting your standards. While I am not saying that this is wrong, I want you to really think about what you are saying. If Umino, or rather, any man that you believe undesirable, looks at you with longing, would that really count in your eyes?" asked Kenshiro now a bit more seriously.
Naru had stopped walking at this point and seemed to be deep in thought.
"I...I don't know." replied Naru softly.
"I am sure that there are plenty of boys at school that look at you with longing in their eyes and I don't blame them. However, the only man that you are interested in is someone older who is rich and handsome. Since the boys at school obviously don't fit this criteria, you consider them beneath you and any sort of longing that they have for you is considered "freaky" in your eyes." replied Kenshiro.
"I never thought of it like that..." said Naru.
"Be more open minded. The reason why you don't have a boyfriend is because you consider the boys who are interested beneath you. Do them a favor and lower your criteria. It's fine to have standards, but not absurd ones. You might be surprised at how much you'll enjoy their company despite the fact that they are not nearly as handsome or rich as you like." finished Kenshiro.
"Usagi...since when did you get so wise? Its like you're a totally different person. Normally you would agree with everything I say and then cry with me or something. Even so, I'm glad that you spoke your mind. You're a true friend Usagi and I can't tell you how much better I feel now. I'll try to be nicer to the other boys at school...even to Umino." said Naru as she smiled.
"I'm sure you'll do fine." replied Kenshiro as well as she put on a rare smile.
They walked in content silence for a while before they heard some shouting. Naru, being ever interested in the affairs of other people, went straight for the source of the shouting. Kenshiro followed her since she herself was curious over the cause of the shouting.
"Look I told you I was busy. Besides, I'm not hungry so go away!" shouted Higure Akiyama harshly.
The man getting yelled at was a short, pudgy man who looked to be in his mid thirties. He looked absolutely devastated at being yelled at.
"I'm sorry I bothered you. I'll come back at a later time." replied the man as he soon shuffled off.
Both Naru and Kenshiro had witnessed the entire thing. At once Naru spoke, she being so shocked over Akiyama's aggressive behavior.
"Miss Akiyama! I can't believe that you just did that to your own fiance!" cried Naru.
"Hmph. He bothered me while I was busy. I have work to do. I suggest you leave Naru before I decide to give you homework over the weekend." said Akiyama as she slammed the door to her apartment.
Naru's face fell over the aggressiveness of her sewing teacher.
"What's happening to you Miss Akiyama?"
Kenshiro, meanwhile, narrowed her eyes as she stared hard at the door of the apartment. There was no doubting it. Higure Akiyama's aura had changed drastically. There was an malicious, even evil, intent bubbling from within her, just like it was with the tennis player Rui Saionji. She had to tell Luna and Toki at once.
"You think that you located another one of these monsters then?" asked Luna as she spoke to Kenshiro inside her room.
"I'm sure of it. The problem is knowing when the monster is going to show itself." said Kenshiro as she thought hard about the situation at hand.
"Perhaps this will help you out then."
At once, Luna had produced an article. In it showed the details of a wedding dress competition.
"This competition is supposed to start tonight. I have no doubt in my mind that the monster will reveal itself there in a place full of people." said Luna as she pawed through the pages.
"That only leaves us about an hour to convene and then get over there. This will be close." said Kenshiro with some concern.
Kenshiro soon headed toward the window. She looked back toward Luna.
"I'll be leaving then. Try to go and find some more information concerning our enemy. I'm sure something will come up." said Kenshiro.
"Leave it to me." said Luna affirmatively as she soon bounded off the roof and out into the streets.
After about an hour all three girls met in front of the wedding chapel that was to hold the competition. It was packed with people inside and out. Apparently this was a big deal.
"I don't know who we are going to enter. This place only accepts participants and those with invitations." said Toki.
Rei looked frustrated by the whole turn of events.
"Why not just walk in and be done with it? Anyone who stops us will get pounded." said Rei.
"And draw far too much suspicion. The last thing we want is revealing ourselves and alerting the enemy to our presence. Doing that will perhaps make it flee. The last thing we want is to have to hunt this thing down the entire country side." replied Kenshiro sternly.
"Then what do we do?" asked Rei in annoyance.
With the greatest of reservations, Kenshiro had taken the Luna Disguise Pen out and held it up.
"Make a disguise."
At once, Kenshiro felt her body get clothed in a large, white wedding dress as her hair was made into curls. Toki and Rei found themselves dressed in high scale dresses with flowers on their hair. None of them were entirely comfortable.
"You have got to be joking." grimaced Rei.
"Its the only way we can get in without attracting too much attention." said Toki, albeit regrettably.
"Let's go." said Kenshiro as all three of them walked toward the entrance of the wedding hall.
Inside the wedding hall, it was time for Higure Akiyama to present herself. However, she was accompanied by a boy with a camera next to her. They both had wicked grins on their faces.
"We are glad that you all came here but I must let you know that this competition is now over. Now go to sleep as you offer up your energy to the Dark Kingdom!" roared Higure Akiyama as she rose her arms above her head.
The crowd had started to murmur loudly to themselves over this development until they soon started to feel sleepy and weary. One by one, they all soon began to fall unconscious.
"It looks like this was easier than we thought. It was a good idea to have Nephrite team us two together." said Akiyama to the boy next to her.
"Sure indeed." said the boy.
At once both shed their human hosts as both the boy, Kijin Shinokawa and the woman, Higure Akiyama, fell to the ground unconscious. There stood two monsters. One was a red skinned youma with a human body with large spider legs surrounding her.
The other was an attractive, blue skinned youma with a hand shaped into a menacing looking camera. Both were snickering to each other.
"Let's get this started!" said Black Widow, the spider youma.
"Hope they don't mind their pictures getting taken without their permission!" said Cameran, the blue skinned youma.
Black Widow started to encase her victims in web, which soon began to draw even more energy from their unconscious bodies while Cameran took pictures of the unconscious bodies, making them disappear and then turn into a photograph that continued to give out the victim's life energy.
Black Widow soon came across the body of a blond haired girl dressed in a beautiful wedding gown. She licked her chops at the sight. Perhaps she would devour this one instead of offering up its energy to Queen Beryl. One human wouldn't make a world of differences.
Her saliva drooled from her mouth as she neared the prone, blond haired girl as she soon spoke.
"You are going to be delicious my sweet." said Black Widow as she dipped down, prepared to sink her fangs into the girl.
Imagine her shock when she felt a vice grip grab her by the throat, choking the life out of her.
"Lets see you try to eat me when you are dead." said the blond haired girl coldly as she managed to get up, a white aura surrounding her body.
Black Widow could not help but fall to her knees at the force of the choke hold on her neck. Her eyes were beginning to roll back to her head.
It was a good thing that Cameran was near by as she soon shrieked at the sight and shot a camera beam at Kenshiro.
Kenshiro dodged the beam but had to let Black Widow go, letting her live her ordeal. At once Cameran was next to Black Widow.
"That was smart pretending to be unconscious and then attacking but it will do you no good. Your energy will soon run out and then you'll be helpless!" cackled Black Widow.
"And when that happens, you'll be nothing more than a slave to the Dark Kingdom, offering up what energies you have for our greatness." added Cameran.
Kenshiro just narrowed her eyes as she stared down her two opponents.
"You two talk too much." said Kenshiro as she cracked her fists.
Cameran sneered as she then shot another beam at Kenshiro, forcing the girl to dodge. However, Black Widow anticipated her move and shot strands of web toward Kenshiro, trapping her within.
"There, you see. Helpless!" cackled Black Widow as she then went forward and attempted a slashing motion with her claws, no doubt just trying to kill Kenshiro this time.
Kenshiro did her best to dodge by ducking, but she could not fully avoid the blow as her some of her hair ended up getting cut away.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I meant to cut your head off, not your pretty little hair." said Black Widow.
Kenshiro knew that she was in trouble. Even utilizing one hundred percent of her full potential was not enough to stave off the energy sapping effects of both the room and the web surrounding her. She only had a few minutes at most.
It was then that Cameran shot another beam at the prone Kenshiro.
The blond narrowed her eyes as she knew that she could not avoid this one. However, she was saved as another beam of light came out of nowhere and collided with the camera beam. They both hit each other then canceled out, resulting in a minor explosion that knocked the two youma into the ground.
While they were distracted, Rei came out of nowhere and managed to cut the web encasing Kenshiro.
"Took you long enough." said Kenshiro dryly.
"Not my fault that Toki wanted to wait until just now to assess our opponents." said Rei.
"And a good thing too." said Toki as she stepped out of the shadows and joined Rei and Kenshiro. She spoke again.
"I have managed to finally get an accurate reading on their power points. Unfortunately, the only power points that are even recognizable are Kyosetsu on the blue monster and Ryūgan on the red one, both on the same spots that would be found in humans. The rest of their pressure points are unrecognizable and we risk unlocking their hidden power if we strike at these pressure points." said Toki.
"I see. But I don't have the energy to continue fighting like this." said Kenshiro sternly.
"I agree with Kenshiro. I'm feeling the effects of this room as well. I don't even think I could use my Nanto against them effectively." lamented Rei.
"The let us transform. This environment is not to our advantage in our current states." said Toki.
At once, all three girls raised their heinshen wands and proceeded to transform. They were soon ready as they faced down the monsters, who were just beginning to compose themselves.
"I see we got some more girls to play with this time. And look at the energy they are spouting off! Nephrite will be so happy once we capture them!" said Black Widow.
"Hope they are not camera shy!" cackled Cameran as she shot some camera shots.
The three girls dodged as Rei then shot some fire after Black Widow. The spider monster managed to avoid the flames but saw a blinding white light soon come after her.
She turned as fast as she could but still got one of arms hit by the light. She screamed in pain as one of her spider legs turned into dust.
Black Widow saw that it was Sailor Moon who had thrown the light at her. Sailor Moon stared down at her hard as she held her hand up, recalling the tiara back to her before throwing it again.
This time, Black Widow was ready as she jumped into the air and proceeded to release more web. Sailor Moon jumped out of the way before getting up and charging at the spider.
She managed to land a kick, which made the monster pause a bit. She then held her palm back and slammed it against the monster's chest. Black Widow grimaced in pain but retaliated with a harsh slap with one of her spider legs, hitting Sailor Moon in the cheek and sending her flying. She hit the ground and skidded backwards.
Sailor Moon managed to right herself quickly but was frustrated. Even though this transformation allowed her to fight in this energy sucking environment, it hindered her as well. The tiara, while powerful, was too direct and obvious and the monsters avoided it. Her punches and kicks were not as effective as well since her ki was limited.
She got back up and attempted to fight once again.
Rei was also equally frustrated as she found her flame attacks simply not powerful enough to dispose of Cameran. While she managed to hit it every so often, it would shrug her flame attacks and continue fighting, despite the fact that it was pretty badly burned.
Cameran came in with a hard knee, hitting solidly at Sailor Mars' stomach. The raven haired senshi felt her wind leave as she found herself getting slammed on the back as she hit the ground hard.
She looked up to find Cameran charging up another camera shot and she jumped out of the way and shot another Fire Soul.
"You think that is going to work this time when it hasn't the last time?" said Cameran in annoyance as she deflected the fire attack with her hands, dispersing the flames.
Sailor Mars furrowed her eyebrows in fury. If only this place did not drain her dry in her normal form that monster would be sliced meat by now.
Sailor Mercury, meanwhile, stayed back, knowing that her abilities would not help much in this fight. However, after a time, she soon joined the fight.
Cameran had Sailor Mars on the ropes and had her pinned down and was ready to blast her with her camera beam. Sailor Mercury came in with a condensed beam of bubbles that disorientated the monster before tackling it to the ground hard with her shoulder. She soon got to Sailor Mars.
"I have a plan. Come with me." said Sailor Mercury urgently.
Meanwhile, Sailor Moon was also having trouble against Black Widow. The tiara kept missing and she was not doing significant damage to the spider with physical attacks.
Just when Black Widow seemed to have the upper hand, a torrent of flame struck the spider, making her scream in pain as Sailor Mercury came in and kicked the monster away, sending it flying back near Cameran.
At once all three sailor scouts convened.
"We should have restored our natural ki from the energy siphoning effects of this building by now. I will remained transformed as I will release a torrent of bubbles to disorientate the enemy. You two use the opportunity to detransform and hit them with everything you got." commanded Sailor Mercury.
Both Mars and Sailor Moon nodded in acknowledgment.
At once, Sailor Mercury pressed forward as she managed to get both Black Widow's and Cameran's attention.
"Mercury Bubble Spray!"
The two monsters felt the world around them suddenly get cold and foggy as they could hardly see anything in front of them.
"Where are you? Hiding isn't going to help you bunch you know!" roared Black Widow.
"I'll make sure to shred your photos once I'm doing with you all, just you wait!" cried Cameran.
"Looking for us?"
At once Black Widow and Cameran turned around to find both Rei and Kenshiro staring them down. Before either of them could react, Rei suddenly swished her arms around as she then ran forward at blinding speed across Black Widow.
Nanto Suicho Ken: Suzaku Tenshō
Black Widow did not even have time to scream as she felt her body suddenly start to fall apart. Soon her entire being was left in bloody pieces on the ground.
Cameran screamed as she saw the sight of her comrade slaughtered so gruesomely.
"You should be more worried about yourself."
Cameran turned around to see the blond haired girl suddenly strike her on the upper part of her camera arm. She cried out in pain as she felt the girl's finger drive itself into her flesh. Soon Kenshiro backed away.
"I have struck the pressure point, Kyosetsu. Now the only person that you'll ever take pictures of is yourself." said Kenshiro coldly.
Cameran stared in horror and confusion at Kenshiro before suddenly realizing that her arm suddenly took a mind of its own and pointed the camera flasher right at her face. Her eyes widened in fear and panic.
"W-What's going on? Why am I pointing at myself?" shrieked Cameran.
"Isn't that what you wanted? To take good pictures? I'm sure you'll appreciate them more once you have taken them of yourself." said Kenshiro dryly.
"But I'll die! I don't want to die!" cried Cameran.
"Too bad. Give the Devil my regards." responded Kenshiro for the final time.
Cameran could only look in horror as her own camera weapon was used against her as she soon closed her eyes, waiting.
The camera soon shuttered and started to took its final picture.
Cameran screamed in agony and pain as the beam of light went straight through her head. She died right then and there.
Both Black Widow and Cameran's bodies' soon began to disintegrate into dust, leaving behind nothing.
A couple of days later found Kenshiro next to Naru as they were at Miss Akiyama's wedding. The woman had managed to make a fine wedding dress from the fabric that she bought. The entire wedding chapel was filled with people.
"Miss Akiyama looks so gorgeous today. I hope I will look that beautiful once I get married!" said Naru as she held her hands to her cheeks, blushing as she daydreamed.
Soon, there was a loud yells as Higure Akiyama threw the bouquet of flowers into the crowd. A rabble of women and girls tried to get at it. Naru had nearly got her hands on it, but it bounced off her and was caught by Kenshiro. The girls looked at the blond with some jealousy.
"Aww man, I wanted to catch it." said Naru sadly.
Kenshiro didn't want anything to do with the bouquet. She turned and gave it to Naru.
"Here. I won't be needing it." said Kenshiro as she handed the bouquet to Naru and proceeded to leave the wedding ceremony.
"W-Wait! You can't be serious!" said Naru as she ran after Kenshiro.
Imagine Naru's surprise when she could not find her best friend. It was as if she disappeared. However, she soon smiled brightly.
"Thank you so much Usagi."
Author's Note: As I said, I'll be skipping an episode or two. Not only that, but as you just saw, I'll also be combining episodes as well. I'm doing this to save myself some time and to also make things a bit more challenging for our fighters. That and it won't be so copy paste of the show as well. Anyway, hope you enjoyed. Remember, read and review people!
