Chapter 4: The second round starts.
Berry stood on the cliff, looking blankly at the deserts ahead of her. She sighed, deeply, closing her eyes for a second.
"You shouldn't just stand around, you know,"
Berry opened her eyes, suddenly scared but she quickly hid it as she courageously turned around to face him.
"Well, hello Hao, long time no see," Berry said, coldly, giving Hao a deep glare.
"Of course, you didn't yourself wanted to see me," he said, smirking.
Berry rolled my eyes and looked away at the deserts again. The last thing she wanted to do was have a chat with Hao himself.
"Oppacho leave us and tell the others that I will catch up," Hao said to his little sidekick who was standing next to him. Oppacho nodded and left them… alone.
"What do you want, Hao?" Berry said, after a minute silence.
"Oh nothing much, really, you shouldn't be here wasting your time," said Hao
Berry raised an eyebrow at him.
"You should be busy defending," he continued
"Defending who?"
"Yourself, of course, and the others even though they are not worth your protection,"
"Hao, get lost,"
"I know you would say that,"
"So? Get moving!"
Berry was still staring at the deserts when her senses began to tingle irritably. Her eyes opened in surprise and shock as a gust of wind slashed at the side of her shoulder, making her thick layer of black hair hover gently. She was now alert and she bent down to defend herself from another blow which missed her. She stood straight again and jumped backwards, but Hao wasn't giving up that easily. He raised his sword again and came close to strike. Berry grabbed her medallion and shouted:
"BARANTA, SPIRIT OF LIGHT! RISE!"
The medallion glowed a faint white light and with a gust of the wind, a beautiful woman, who was wearing a silver armor and was holding a sliver sword, stood next to Berry, aiming her sword at Hao's direction who only smirked, coolly. Berry took out a small but sharp knife from her pant's pocket.
"Baranta! Spirit form! Into the dagger!!!"
Berry's spirit ghost entered the dagger which glowed and turned into a long powerful looking sword.
"If you really want to fight, Hao, you should fight properly," Berry said
"Oh I wasn't really fighting, I was just checking you out," Hao said, smirking again.
Berry gritted her teeth, angrily and ran for the strike but Hao blocked. For a minute or so, the both were striking and blocking until a part came when Hao was pushing his sword hard on Berry's sword, who was not showing any kind of weakness.
"Yes, you have gone stronger," Hao muttered, quietly, pushing hard.
There was a minute silence as Berry groaned under the pressure.
"But you have very less experience, very less indeed,"
"What do you mean?" Berry asked, suddenly, shocked
Hao smirked, again.
"Let me show an example,"
He stretched his hands from the grip of his own sword and grabbed a part of Berry's sword's blade, quickly. Blood began to ooze from his hands for the blade was sharp but he didn't even flinch. He smirked as he pulled at the sword away from Berry's hands like it was nothing.
He threw her sword down the cliff.
"See, you have very less experience," Hao said, as his sword disappeared too.
Berry glared at him and stuck out her tongue in a childish manner. Hao laughed.
"Grow up," he said
Berry flung her fist back and was about to punch Hao's face hard but he grabbed her fist, still smiling. Berry gritted her teeth as she flung her right leg high and kicked Hao in the face so hard that he let go of Berry's fist and stepped back, blood oozing from his lip.
Berry was about to give him another blow but he was too fast for her. He disappeared in a puff of smoke and appeared behind her. Before she knew it, she was on the ground with Hao sitting on her back.
"Wow, that was easy," he said
Berry scowled as she jerked her head so her hair will be out of her eyes.
"Well, I came here because I wanted to talk to you," Hao said
"Get up from me,"
"No, first you listen,"
"Fine,"
"Well, the old man has taught you a few thing or so which didn't really impressed me, you should have been trained by someone who have experience of over a 1000 years ago, someone like me but you ran away when you were 10 because… well I don't really know why you ran away in the first place but as you were young and stupid, I came back to offer you to join me again, so what do you say? Stay inexperienced and weak or come with me and be powerful and experienced."
Berry turned her head to stare at Hao so she could read his mind and see what he really had in mind but Hao must have known that for Berry could hardly see him as he was sitting on her back.
"Hao, I would rather die than join you again,"
"Oh, how harsh, why not?"
"I have my reasons,"
"Git, I am asking for your reasons,"
"Get up from me," Berry ordered
"Not without a reason,"
"Fine, you want a reason than I will give you a reason, I HATE YOU!!! Is that enough?"
There was a minute silence. Then the heavy weight was lifted from Berry's back as Hao stood up. Berry quickly stood up too and dusted her clothes.
"Your choice, Berry, I am going to absorb you as destiny has in for us, till then, goodbye," Hao said, as he walked away
Berry pulled back her sleeve, angrily.
"I am not finish with you, Hao!" she shouted
Hao stopped in his tracks and then turned.
"Hey, I almost forgot, I am not finished with you either,"
And with that he walked towards Berry, grabbed by her shirt's collar and kissed her…
"Oh man! It's so hot!" Horro whined as he and his friends walked in the desert, towards the oasis.
"Stop whining for god's sakes, you can't even stand a little heat," Ren said, annoyed
"Hey, look who's talking! The guy who show offs about his jet and his jet broke down in the middle of the desert! And you are the one who is sweating." Horro said
Ren raised his sword of light angrily and was about to slash Horro into two when they both were stopped by a very very annoyed Ryu.
"Will you both please stop fighting? Look there's the oasis," Ryu said, pointing ahead.
Ren and Horro looked at the oasis and smirked. They all walked in the oasis and Ren and Horro had another fight about who was going to drink first when they both were interrupted by Yoh.
"Hey, look over there, who is that?" he asked as he gestured his eyes at the bank of the lake where a black haired girl was sitting, staring at the water, lost in her own thoughts…
