Earning Stars; Chapter 6: Needles Stick My Skin
As the gleaming subsided what stood before them now was indescribable. Purple and black stiletto boots, a short black kimono adorned with purple patterns of scattered diamonds.
Her hair seemed to have grown back, longer and split into two separate tails, her eyes seemed sharper and on her back, which had a long dip revealing her back with a long spinal piece going up her spine. Finally a choker with a golden scorpion in the middle and three pieces like the eyes of a scorpion on her head.
"Life Fiber Contamination; Toxic Hazard Kamui!" she bellowed adorned in new clothing
"So cool, so cool!" a voice chided happily, "Doku-chan activated their Kamui!" they giggled, "Mistress will be so happy to hear this!" kicking their legs happily the blond continued to watch from on top of the school.
Ryuko and Satsuki leered at the other, having just transformed and activated a new Kamui.
'This is insane, where did she get that' Ryuko gritted seeing the new clothing,
"Senketsu what's wrong?" Ryuko whispered feeling the other trembling
'This feeling…' he could feel something, a power emanating from the clothing
"Senketsu?" Ryuko repeated as her partner remained silent
"It's nothing Ryuko-chan" he said trying to focus, they were still in battle, "What's our next plan?" that was the question, between the fighting and the needles, plus the nerve poison it seemed as though they were at a disadvantage.
"My arm" with a wiggle she could feel it begin to move, it was only a little but it was something, showing the poison might be letting up.
'Then there's Satsuki' her leg had been immobilized too, though she seemed to have a same idea seeing her leg inch, back and forth, bending it.
Doku seemed to be having thoughts of their own,
'This damn outfit' they grimaced, they kimono itself was too short and the top was low, in all the outfit showed too much skin for their taste. 'Figures they would design something so 'short'' they blushed feeling a breeze near the bottom.
'To think I've been put into this kind of situation' they seemed to calm, 'Alright then'
"I'll finish this quickly!" the two females stood ready for battle, sharp metal needles appeared from between their fingers,
"Here she comes!" Doku charged
"Let's go Senketsu!"
"Prepare yourself!"
All three charged at each other, their weapons clashing as the battle recommenced, the audience and onlookers could only watch, both engrossed and a few immobilized from stray needles that were blocked into the stands.
"Go Ryuko-chan! Beat her! Beat her!" Mako cheered from the stands
"Go Lady Satsuki!"
As the battle continued Doku released a barrage of never ending needles, their movements had become quicker being able to go on offensive and evasive.
Ryuko growled having evaded a line of needles,
"Damn it"
"Ryuko?"
"We're getting nowhere" she gritted, "We're just evading her moves at this rate we might run out of energy" she watched as Satsuki couldn't get close to Doku, evading both her needles and the poison.
"I see"
'If both Ryuko and Satsuki continue like this, they'll run out of power' then they would really be in trouble, 'But even so, I can't shake this feeling'
"Hey Senketsu!"
"Huh?"
"Geez you've been spacing out a lot", she sighed, "Any way listen closely I have a plan" she said.
Satsuki was still fighting Doku one on one, her sword clashing endlessly with the needles
"You're breathing rather heavily" Doku noted, "Relying too much on your uniform"
Satsuki narrowed her eyes, those blue eyes like ice staring daggers at her opponent
"My interest was only with that girl" she seemed to be referring to Ryuko, "But in truth I found this rather a waste, plus fighting in such skimpy clothing"
"She's one to talk…"
"Oi shut the hell up!" Doku tensed their eye ticking in frustration, "But that doesn't matter" gripping their needles between their fingers
"I'm going to rip them off, thread by thread"
"We'll see about that" Satsuki narrowed preparing her sword staring down her opponent, right now she was feeling the strain of her Godrobe. Unlike Ryuko's, hers required more blood, making it more feral and adding more power. But as she fought this new opponent there seemed to be a hesitation in her uniform, while the attacks seemed powerful, she could feel it holding back.
'No time for concern now!' with a swift push off she charged at Doku, slashing her sword clashing it with sharp needles sending sparks flying from the friction.
"So cool, so cool!" the voice exclaimed watching through their opera glasses, "I'm so jealous, Doku-chan is having so much fun" they whine with jealously watching the fight. Light green eyes roamed over the uniforms, slowly going up and over each thread and outline, the curves and contours.
"Seeing them with those clothing" they gushed feeling like they would burst with excitement, "Even though Doku-chan doesn't like that clothing, they look so cute~"
"Alright Senketsu are you ready?"
"I don't know Ryuko"
"I admit the plans a little risky, but so is life"
"You have my full support then!" Ryuko could feel the suit tighten, gripping herself as it powered up for her attack.
"Let's go Senketsu!" with a burst she charged forward, gripping her scissor blade as her eyes burned furiously.
"Wow, wow!"
"So come back for more!" with a jump Ryuko jumped up prepared to bring her blade down, but just it looked like she was going to strike she vanished.
"Wait!?" Doku blinked seeing the other disappear, "Where did she…" they stopped sensing a presence.
"What!?"
"Take this!" with a swing Ryuko managed to get her from behind slamming her scissor blade in the others back.
"She got her!"
"Go Ryuko-chan!"
The blow sent Doku flying back towards the wall.
"Heads up, Kiryuuin!" she called
"Right" with a swing of her blade Satsuki sliced and slashed against her Godrobe, the blade tearing into the fabric.
"You…" Doku slide against the ground managing to recover from the blow.
"Keh, you'll have to try better than that!" they growled
"We're just warming up you sadistic bastard!" Ryuko warned pointing the blade at the other, "I' going to personally make you pay for what you did to Ei and Mako's family!"
"You will also atone for your crimes against this school" Satsuki declared pointing her sword toward Doku.
The stadium erupted in thunderous applause
"Cockiness like that in battle really pisses me off" they huffed brushing off the dirt, "No more games, I might hate these clingy clothes! I refuse to be defeated by such unkempt cloth!"
"Ah is that so~" came a sultry voice, "Yo take a look at this" purple tipped fingernails pointed to screen as the battle in the arena continued.
"What is that, Master?" a voice questioned, from the side stood a male. He had short silver hair and dark platinum eyes. The young teen looked at the screen, watching as the battle between the three fighters,
"It's a battle between one of my latest creations~" purple lined lips smirked, "Since my last creation is unable to battle just yet, I decided to test something new~"
"Just look at them, Senketsu, Junketsu~", they cooed, "Even if the styles are 'moderate', you can't look over their power"
"Are they not made from the Life Fibers?" Yo spoke carefully
"Of course! The fibers themselves are vast in power, even a single strand give anyone. Though many don't know how to use them, such a same"
"Hn, naturally there's that" they replied, with a motion of their wrist the teen began filling a glass of on the table. After pouring the wine into the glass he carefully handed his master the drink, with a short giggle they took a sip of the liquid,
"So sad, the fact they think they've even scratched the surface of the fibers both amuses and infuriates me~" their voice grew deep towards the end. Platinum eyes looked on, his expression never changing as he stood by his master.
"To have such beautiful threads being used by such insects, makes my skin crawl" they seethed glaring at the screen watching as the two girls fought Doku. The movement of the clothing, each thread moving, curve against those ample bodies of those teen girls. But that alone didn't boil their blood, it was looking out in the stands and seeing all those figures wearing life fibers.
"How absolutely disgusting~"
"Master" Yo spoke carefully seeing his master still staring at the screen, after a moment the figure took an exhale calming themselves.
"Hn, such naive creatures~" they smirked, "Thinking they can control anything they find, given the smallest taste of power, it's so amusing~" they chuckled and continued to watch the fight. The two girls seemed to have find a synch as their movements of defense and offense was creating a problem for Doku. As one defended and fought Doku one on one, giving the other fighter openings to attack while they were distracting.
"Doku-sama seems troubled" Yo noted
"It's their own fault~" his master sighed, "Doku-chan isn't using the fibers at their peak. Even after I worked so hard making such a cute kimono for them~" they sighed having sewed their clothing specifically for their poison, plus the silk fabric and vibrant purple insinuates the killing beauty of their figure.
"But low, my beautiful creation is being butchered by those beasts" they wept rather dramatically biting on their finger.
"My deepest apologies" Yo apologized
"Oh no need for that!" they seemed to cheer up, "Besides it's only a proxy, a protocol if you will~"
"A proxy?"
"Of course!" they chirped, "One must never reveal their true hand until the peak. Why waste the very best on such small insects~" they replied rather smugly, narrowing their violet lashes, lidding their dark violet eyes.
"Also, I wanted to see what they've been doing with the fibers~"
"From the looks of it, nothing much~" they smirked, "At least not yet~" a chuckle escaped their lips dripping with a wicked motive behind those violet lips.
Back in the stadium the ground was battered with uprooting slashes and pins and daggers, all three fighters looked exhausted and tired.
Ryuko and Satsuki had been pushed to the limit physically having lost ample amounts of blood from using their Kamui's for so long. Doku was breathing rather labor,
'This is bad' Senketsu thought he could feel the strain on Ryuko's fighting, 'If this continues Ryuko won't last long'
'Damn it' Ryuko groaned, she was at her limit, even with their combined power Doku seemed to find a counter. Looking over she saw the labored form of Satsuki, 'Even Kiriyun is pushing herself, I don't know how long we can keep this up'
"Ah, Ryuko-chan looks really bad" Mako said worriedly seeing her friends shape
"Lady Satsuki" even the council noticed the state of their leader, but even though it pained them to watch the battle they were ordered specifically not to interfere and they would obey that order to the letter without hesitation.
"Ryuko?"
"I know Senketsu" she breathed holding her shoulder
'This is utterly intolerable' Doku huffed, 'Leave it to them to create something like that'
"This is a waste" with a turn Doku began walking off in the other direction surprising and shocking the not only the other fighters, but the crowd as well.
"Huh!? She's leaving?"
"Eh!? What the…" Ryuko stammered, "Hold up!" she yelled out, "We're not done here! Don't think you can just walk off like that!" sandaled shoes came to a stop
"Don't think this is over!" she declared, "I'll fight you to my very last breathe, Doku!"
"Go Ryuko-chan! You can do it!" Mako cheered waiving a handmade flag
"Thanks Mako" she smiled before turning back to Doku who still had her back to the other, "Well, say something!"
"Are you going to just walk away!" she declared, "Answer me!" her voice echoed around the stadium, each words booming with both fighting spirit and rage.
"You…" a venomous aura dripped from the other, it was sinister and seemed to leak from their body, Ryuko gasped it all happened so quickly, vanishing as the poisonous energy lingered,
"What the…" with a smash Ryuko felt the stinging pain against her fast, the colliding fist connecting with her check, 'Damn it…how' Ryuko was sent flying with a great force crashing into the arena wall crushing and obliterating the concrete to rubble.
"RYUKO-CHAN!" Mako screamed seeing her friend sent flying into the wall
"Matoi!" Satsuki gritted seeing the girl laying in the rubble, blood seeping and her were closed. Gripping her sword Satsuki couldn't become distracted,
"Don't get so cocky, it pisses me off!" Satsuki did a quick turn with her sword, the blade clashing with their newly grown hair.
"Damn you" she cursed, she gasped feeling a strike at her sides, with a jump she was sent sliding back,
"She's gotten faster" a presence caught her attention, with a quick flip she barely dodge an attack by the others scorpion hair the impact fracturing the ground.
"Lady Satsuki!"
"It'll take a lot more than that to take me down!" she stated gripping her blade, but as they stared at the other a smirk came over their lips.
'What?' with a boomed something broke from the ground behind Satsuki, as she looked back she came to face to tail with the others stinger. With a quick movement the hair wrapped around and coiled around Satsuki squeezing and gripping her in a bone shattering wrap.
The crowd gasped and in shock and horror seeing the class president constricted,
"What's wrong? No more big talk" Doku seemed to mock, with a yank she slammed into the ground, blood spat from her mouth from the impact as she was pulled back up, her uniform deactivated.
"This is what happens when you put your confidence in clothing" Doku seethed, "I'm going to break you into tiny pieces!" retracting the end a long sharp, curve blade appeared from hair.
"Now die" it all happened so slow, as the blade prepared to strike it's victim, the crowd looking one in horror and shock, Mako closed her eyes unable to watch as the three active Student Council stood to intervene. Each movement like the beat of a heart, slow and steady, growing in anticipating.
Blue eyes narrowed as the blade stopped inches away from face, the crowed was breathless wondering what had happened
"Eh!?" Mako blinked through her fingers, "Her attack…"
"It stopped"
Satsuki held her breath peering at the blade,
"You've got to be kidding me" Doku huffed, "Looks like this will have to be settle another time" with a leer they released the constriction from their opponent letting her fall to the ground.
"Such a waste, I'm definitely got some words for that spider" they mumbled, "Before that" reaching into their kimono they pulled out a box, it was decorated in colorful patterned paper, "This is the antidote for that girl and the others" with a toss the box skidded landing, rather neatly on Mako's head much to the girls shock and childish amazement,
'Idiots' with a flash they disappeared
"Lady Satsuki!"
"Ryuko-chan!" all parties went to go check on the two fighters, Satsuki was being tended to by the student council. Mako, along with her homeroom teacher, and a few students helped Ryuko, though she looked beat up.
Her eyes were half open and hazy as she stared distantly
"Ryuko-chan! Ryuko-chan!" Mako called her eyes watery as she looked down at her best friend
"M…Ma…ko…" she mumbled before drifting off into unconscious
When she awoke again, her eyes blurred trying to regain sense, when they regained clearness she found herself staring up at a familiar.
"Ry…uko..ch..'
"Huh? What?"
"Ryuko-chan! Ryuko-chan!" a voice called out desperately, blue eyes looked over to see Mako leaking tears
"M-Mako?"
"Ah! Ryuko-chan you're awake!" she squealed happily tackling her friend
"Owe" Ryuko groaned at the sudden pressure, the bob-haired brunette quickly apologized
"It's okay Mako" Ryuko smiled slowly sitting up, "What happened?" she couldn't remember anything after being pushed and thrown into the wall.
'Did I black out?'
"Wait what happened to Doku?" she questioned
"It was so weird! She just disappeared" Mako explained
"Eh, that bitch" she seethed, "I need to…shit!" she groaned
"Be careful Ryuko-chan! Your wounds were really bad, dad had bandaged you up! You need to take it easy"
"Eh, Mr. Mankanshoku? They're okay?" Mako nodded quickly
"Yeah! They were fine when I got home and the scorpion girl left the antidote for Ei-chan too!"
"Ei-cahn, she's okay? Where?" she looked around seeing Ei laying a small ways for her, her eyes were closed and she was breathing evenly.
"She's asleep" Ryuko sighed in relief seeing Ei was okay
"Wait, what happened with Kiyurin?" she asked
"The student Council is taking care of her! Lady Satsuki was hurt really badly in the fight!" she frowned,
"So she got us both, damn her" she gritted, "Ah, Senketsu!? Where…" looking around frantically she looked up noticing he was hanging up.
'He's alright, thank goodness" she smiled with relief that he was in one piece
"Ah! So tired!" Mako yawned, "Today has been so hard! I wanna take a nice long nap!"
Ryuko continued to stare at Senketsu, the memory of the girl still fresh in her mind. She had survived one of the hardiest matches she had ever had.
'Doku' bandage fingers gripped her sheets, 'This isn't over' not by a long shot
Meanwhile, in an unknown location that divided the two main powers, a spotlight shined down on a small figure. With light blond hair with drill curl bangs and one long drill curl ponytail held with a big blue bow. They were petit with light green eyes wearing a pink gothic Lolita suit, a white dress blouse with a multi-ruffled neck tie with a pink stone and pink shorts. Knee high white ruffled socks and short heeled shoes. Standing on the black marble floor under the shining spotlight the petite figure smiled happily,
"Welcome back~" a voice spoke from the shadows, the figure smiled giving a curt bow, "Have you brought me your report?"
"Yes, mistress!" they chirped happily, "I collected the data you requested" they smiled cutely,
"Excellent~" their 'mistress' cooed happily,
"Thank you!" they blushed with happiness for the words, "Watching the fight so much fun! I want to fight one of them!" they exclaimed cheerfully remembering the fighting.
"It seems your needle has gotten excited" a new voice spoke, another light came down revealing a figure with long purple haired woman seated on the coiled black seat, legs crossed elegantly with golden bangles on their ankles. Three males dressed in black leather stood around them, one was fanning with a large feathered fan, one stood holding a silver tray of drinks, and the last held a tray of fruits. All three ranged in sizes. The tallest had long black hair, the second tallest had short red hair, and finally the smallest had sandy blond hair.
"More tea your highness?" with a silent confirmation the male calmly poured the tea into the china cup, before presenting it to their master.
"Ah you're as gleaming as ever Hisebi-sama!" the blond beamed, purple irises peered down at the other, silently sipping her tea
"So I see" they smirked, "Though I'm wondering what my 'darling' brother is up"
"Oh that's a secret~" he smirked pressing a purple painted nail to his violet lined lips, "It's something really special!~"
"Hmph, you and your weird projects" a voice huffed
"Something wrong, Doku?" the violet haired figure narrowed their eyes, arms folded as they sat on a large mound of pillows.
"You sound bitter" Hisebi noted
"Of course I am!" they hissed, "Being forced into such a ridiculous and downright embarrassing outfit!" they gritted
"How rude, I made that outfit for you" he whined, "It looked so cute on you too~" with a blush the long haired, short teen growled, trembling with visible anger.
"You…!" swiftly they grabbed a pillow and threw it at the effeminate individual, it was quickly caught by none other than Yo.
"Doku-sama, please refrain from throwing things at Master Lascivious" Yo said, though his voice was even, his eyes emanated with a seriousness.
"What's all this about forcing~" Luci chuckled, "Doku-chan I sewed that outfit specifically for you. Besides you were the one who activated~" they pointed out causing another blush
"I…I…" they stammered before folding their arms in frustration, "Whatever. I still don't see why you needed me to face those girls"
Lascivious grinned, "Simple, I wanted to see what these little people have done with the fibers" they explained
"Feh, nothing much except make skimpy clothing" Doku scoffed
"Clothing?" Hisebi hummed tapping a large, long black rectangular item on their lips,
"Basically those simpletons have some special clothing that they use to fight with" Doku explained, "Though I can't see how with such skimpy clothe"
"Yeah! It was so cool!" the figure in blue said now standing next to Doku much to the others annoyance
"What are you…"
"All the fighting and movements! So cute!" they squealed happily, "But Mistress Luci's outfit was more beautiful!"
"Oh you are so cute!~" Luci squealed pinching the others cheeks, "How did I get such a cute little sweetie like you~" he gushed
"Heheheh! Because you made like this!" they replied happily giggling
"Oh brother, I think I'm going to be sick" Doku hacked at the scene
"Oh don't be like that~" Luci smirked, suddenly Doku found themselves in the arms of their effeminate brother, feeling the others face rubbing against their cheek.
"Your still my cutie little scorpion~! So cute!~" he giggled much to the others annoyance being handled like a child.
"Put me down you! Put me down!" they ordered flailing in the others grip which didn't falter or loosen.
"Will you two behave" came the soft voice of long haired figure still seated, their voice seemed to drop as they spoke, "Sometimes you remind me of bickering children"
"Awe big 'sis' why must you be so mean!" Luci whined
"Oi who are you calling a child you old snake!"
"What was that" dark purple eyes narrowed icily at their sibling, "Did you just called me old" they tensed dark aura leaking from them.
"Hisebi-sama is mad" the blond said though they continued to smile sitting on the edge of their mistress's throne.
"Now, now no need for that~" Luci intervene stepping past the two, strutting to his throne he looked toward the blond haired youth, "Now then how's your project coming?"
"So far so good!" they chirped, "Though went all the excitement I'm tempted to be torn away from my work" they smiled thinking of all the excitement back in the city.
"You should be doing the work Master Lascivious assigned to you" Yo spoke staring at the young teen, the blond pouted.
"Don't be so mean Yo-ni!" they whined playfully, "Besides I was doing my work, I was gathering the data for Luci-sama"
"That was Doku-sama's job" Yo replied the blonde pouted sticking their tongue out at the taller teen
"Luci please control your subordinates" Hisebi voiced growing annoyed by the constant bickering of the two.
"You two are upsetting his highness"
"You're also annoying us"
"Stop being annoying" Hisebi's servants spoke earning looks from the other two servants
"Before I forget!~", Lascivious piped in moving towards his sister, "Hebi-onee I need one of your scales"
"Hn" the other eyed the other, "And what, may I ask, for?" they questioned, one thing they've learned is that if their brother wanted something it was for one of his 'special' projects or experiments with who knows what.
"It's a surprise~!" they replied with a grin
"Not good enough" they spoke with amusement
"Oh so mean~" they whined, "Why must you be so tight, it's something special I'm making and I need one or so of your beautiful scales~" they hummed eyeing the shining scales of his 'sisters' dress.
"And I said what for?" they repeated, "I will not allow you to use my scales for one of her 'projects without knowing what their being used for" the two eyes stared at each other, the two siblings eyes locked.
"I see~" Lascivious sighed, "If I must, such a spoil~" with a snap of purple nailed fingers, drawing his servants attention
"Go bring 'it' here" he ordered
"Yes Master"
"Yes Mistress!" the two bowed and went off to get the item
"I swear sis you can be such a spoiler~" he pouted twisted one of his purple locks,
"Hn, maybe so, but I don't like to not know things" they replied with a wave of their fan. A wheeling sound echoed through the room, the doors reopened revealing the two servants.
"The item you requested Master" Yo bowed presenting the item shrouded in a white sheet
"Right~" he smirked walking to the shrouded item, "Now allow me to show you one something from my new collection~" with a grin he took the sheet within his fingers he pulled on the sheets. The white sheet waved up and over revealing the item underneath, shimmering under the spotlights.
The two siblings looked at the item underneath the sheet, their looks of both surprise and hidden amazement.
"I can tell by your looks you're intrigued~" he smirked, "This is one of lovely new designs, hand sewn with some of the finest fabrics. It's just missing one thing…"
"Sister~" he smirked looking at his siblings, "Now shall we begin~"
The next few days were comprised of healing for Ryuko, though with the help of Mako and Ei, she had healed at a quick pass and in no time she was prepared to return to school. Most of the damage was all, but gone. Though talk of the fight still circled around the school, though it was quickly silenced by the student council on behalf of Lady Satsuki who had also made a full recovery.
"Yeah lunch time! Lunch time!" Mako cheered
"I'm still amazed at Mako-chan's appetite" Ei-chan smiled, Ryuko only answered with a smirk as they began eating the lunches Mako's mother had made for them. She packed a big lunch for Ryuko to keep up her strength,
'Those two are such good friends, I'm happy to have met them' Ei thought and prepared to eat, just then a thought crossed her mind.
'I almost forgot' picking up her lunch she set it down on the bench
"Something wrong Ei-chan?" Ryuko asked
"Oh, sorry" she apologized, "I almost forgot, I have to turn in all the homework I missed when I was sick" she replied
"Eh? Homework?" they did know she was poisoned 'right?', "You were sick and they still gave you homework"
"It's fine, it wasn't that much" she replied, "Excuse me" with that she went off to go deliver her homework. After entering the school, she went to her locker taking out various papers for the different classes she took.
"Now I'll just deliver this, I even managed to finish some of Ryuko-san's" she smiled, though with her recovering she didn't want her worried about homework. Closing her locker she nearly jumped seeing a figure next to her.
"R-Ryuko-san?" she stammered still surprised,
"Something wrong, Ei-chan?" she asked looking at the other girl
"S-Sorry, you just surprised me that's all" she replied taking a deep breathe, "What are you doing here?" she asked as the girl gave a short shrug.
"Mako was getting worried and wanted me to check on you"
"Worried?" Ei blinked rather confused
"You know in case one of the clubs try and attack you again" she replied
"Oh, I see" she seemed to understand, "Thank you, I'm fine really" she smiled
"Well I'll just go deliver my homework" Ei said
"I'll go with you" Ryuko said, "There's something I wanted to talk to you about"
"What about Mako-chan?" she asked, Ryuko gave a small smirk, "Don't worry Mako may not look it but she's really tough. This will be real quick" as she spoke EI couldn't place it but something was wrong. Something seem right with Ryuko,
"Come on, Ei-chan" grabbing her wrist Ei felt a cringe go up her skin
'What was that?' soon she found herself being pulled by Ryuko, "Where are we going?" she asked as she followed behind the other.
"Some place private" she said turning around she gave Ei a warm smile, "Don't worry alright"
"Oh, right" she said and continued to follow behind the other girl
Outside Ryuko and Mako were still sitting on the bench, lunch finished the two seemed to be relaxing. Mako was happily patting her full belly, as Ryuko gave a sigh of fullness having finished her entire lunch. Blue eyes peered over at the empty seat and the unopened lunch box,
"Huh, that's strange"
"Huh? Ryuko-chan?" Mako blinked
"Ei-chan hasn't come back yet, I wonder what's taken her" Ryuko had a feeling,"Something's not right" she suddenly stood up.
"Ryuko-chan!?"
"Come on Mako" she said, "We need to go find Ei-chan" she had a feeling that she was in trouble.
On top of the school roof, Ei had been led up by Ryuko, the high breeze ruffling her skirt as her folded hands held it down to keep it from flying up.
"So Ryuko-chan what is it that you wanted to talk about?" Ei asked, Ryuko stood a small ways away her back to the other.
"I actually wanted to talk to you about your Kamui" she began,
"Kamui?" she thought, "You mean Nagareboshiketsu?"
"Yeah, how has it been acting?"
"Acting? Its fine I guess" she replied looking down at her uniform, "Though I'm still having trouble getting it to activate when I want it" she sighed,
"Yeah it's tricky. Your body is probably getting used to the life fibers" Ryuko stated turning to face Ei,
"Maybe, I can feel the difference when I'm wearing it. A strange power flowing through me" Ei said looking at her hand. She couldn't fully explain the feeling as the energy mixed with her own.
"That's the natural feel" Ei blushed seeing Ryuko had gotten closer to her
'When did she' get so close?'
"Ei-chan" hands placed on her shoulders Ei gave a surprised gasp
"Um Ryuko-chan"
"Life fibers are a surreal material. One thread can empower a person to unimaginable feats" she stated, "But they can also bring a person to their knees if, disrespected" hands moved down over her arms moving downwards. Ei blushed feeling the others hands on her arms,
'Something's wrong, Ryuko-chan wouldn't'
"Ei-chan" Ei gave a yelp feeling a hand on her back traveling down her spin, with a push Ei pushed herself from the other girl.
"Hn, something wrong?"
"I should be asking that" she blush furiously, her blue eyes narrowed as she held her rear end having been felt by the other, now she knew.
"What's wrong you? Are you Ryuko-chan!?" they demanded as the girl stood there silently.
"My, my you've gotten very comfortable here haven't you~" a smirk forming on their lips, blue eyes widened as the voice reached their ears.
"You…you…" she stammered seeing the wicked smile on the girls face,
"Did you figure out, Ei-chan~" they chuckled with a crook of their head, "To bad it's rather late!"
Ryuko and Mako were running up the stairs, Ryuko had found out Ei had been seen going up to the roof. But what worried her most is that people said she had been seen going up with none other than her.
'Ei-chan hold on!'
"Mako we have to hurry!" she stated urgently
"Right!" picking up speed the two burst to the roof,
"Ei-chan!" she called, her eyes burning as she looked onto the roof, it had been cocooned with long threads that spread out like millions of curtains.
"What the hell is this?" looking around it was a never ending curtain of threads
"Wow it looks so pretty!" Mako beamed
"Oh, my, my~" a voice cooed,
"Who said that?" Ryuko said looking around, a chuckling reverberating against the threads, suddenly the thread drew apart revealing something or rather someone.
"Ryuko-chan look over there!" Mako screamed in shock pointing, there wrapped and coiled in the webbing was the body of Ei, her head hung low.
"Ei-chan!?" as the two advanced to get her another chuckle stopped them
"Look at the cute little flies I've captured~" the voice chuckled
"Show yourself!" Ryuko demanded taking out her blade
"Oh such a fiery little insect~" the voice chuckled, from above a figure jumped landing between the girls and their friend.
"So we finally meet, Ryuko Matoi~" the figure spoke and both girls looked in shock at the figure.
"What …What the hell!?" Ryuko demanded seeing the girl before her, it was her
"Ah, she looks just like Ryuko-chan!" Mako gasped holding her face in complete shock.
The fake Ryuko chuckled, "You like my look~" she smirked, "A bit juvenile and wild for my taste, but it served its purpose~" they smirk motioning their body.
"Tell me what do you think? Did I capture all the right features~" Ryuko growled at herself, literally
