Ch.18 A Seat At the Throne
The Next Day
Evening had set in, and there appeared to be a large crowd in a nice clearing not too far from the Tori mountains. Of that crowd was Midoriichi, Kimiko, her mother Akai, her brothers Hekuta, Murasaki, Furui and Wakai as well as some other Tori members. Ron and Yori as well as Jodan were in attendance. Chita and Reo showed up as well. So did Josei, who was interested in seeing the twins true capabilities. Moniku was there as well watching from afar as she sat perched in a tree, masking her demonic aura so she would not be sensed by the others.
Midoriko and Chisana-ichi looked around. Midoriko could see that her younger sister was nervous. She nudged her shoulder. "It's going to be fine Ichi. Just take a deep breath, and give it your all." She told her.
Chisana-ichi nodded. "Right, thanks Midoriko."
"Ok." Midoriichi said. "Today you two shall compete through a contest of wills to see who will become my successor. This is a tradition passed down through our clan, when one leader has more than one child. However I alone will truly judge who the victor will be." She said. "However before you two begin, I would like to know. What would you do to as the leader of the Tori clan?" She asked her daughters.
Chisana-ichi spoke first. "I want to protect those I care about. I also want to unite our two clans, the Tori and the Neko, just like they were long ago." Chisana-ichi stated.
"Midoriko what is your answer?" Her mother asked.
Midoriko thought about what she saw in the past few days, and Moniku's words. She must become Tori Leader if she wants to stop it all. She looked up, looking her mother in the eyes.
"I want to bring everyone together in these lands. The only way to do that is for everyone thing to exist on equal terms. That not only includes the Tori and Neko, but the lesser clans as well. I will reach out to the other clans, and offer a chance at peace." Midoriko answered.
Midoriichi nodded. "Now with your wills driving you. Push forward until one of you is the victor."
Both sisters nodded, before putting distance between each other. "I hope you're ready Ichi. I'm not holding back." She said.
"Right me either." Chisana-ichi said.
"Begin!" Midoriichi exclaimed.
Without hesitation the two sisters clashed. They immediately went into a grapple as they tried to overpower the other. Midoriko smiled, making her younger sister raise her eyebrow. Midoriko grabbed her sister's wrists and threw her into the air.
Midoriko jumped into the air, using her natural ability to create air currents and rode them upward. She slammed into Chisana-ichi and grabbed her ankle and begun to swing her around.
"She's keeping Chisana-ichi off the ground. Midoriko's element is in the air, If she can't get back on the ground, she's done for." Akai stated.
"Don't count her out just yet." Kimiko added as they watched from the sidelines.
"Round and round you go!" Midoriko laughed.
"Not funny!" Chisana-ichi said.
Midoriko released her sister throwing her higher into the air. Chisana-ichi knew that she was purposely keeping her off the ground, but she had a trick up her sleeve. Midoriko rose above her, just what she wanted to happen. Grabbing Midoriko, she began to spin violent as they descended back into the ground.
Moniku looked on. 'She's not bad, but Midoriko has been training with me. She doesn't stand a chance.' Moniku thought, a smile working its way across her face.
Both sisters rose to their feet. "Not bad Ichi, not bad." Midoriko smiled. Midoriko then disappeared and rapidly reappeared in front of Chisana-ichi and knocked her away.
Midoriko vanished and reappeared next to her sister kicking her way. "I've been training intensely. That was just a sample of my power." Midoriko boasted.
Chisana-ichi got back to her feet. "So have I." She said.
Chisana-ichi reached down placing her hands on the earth. She then rose back up, pulling some of the earth up with her, it formed into a hammer. She gripped it tightly as she got into a battle stance. She then flared her hands up with white demonic aura.
Midoriko smirked. "Well that's new. An elemental weapon, while I don't have an elemental weapon, this will have to do." Midoriko said flaring up with green demonic aura. The aura around her hands receded to her wrists and formed shackles, chain-links connected the two shackles.
'These shackles represent the years my mentor spent in the captivity of our clans. These chains will also be the things that bring about the future she speaks of. Her will is now my will also!' Midoriko thought as she gazed at her sister.
The demonic aura flared intensely as they waited for the other to move first, whoever got the first hit would decide the match.
"How much did you guys do Reo?" Chita asked as they watch the twins pull out their weapons.
"Mother worked us to death, but this is new. I've never seen that weapon before." Reo responded to his best friend.
"Midoriichi did you teach her that?" Kimiko asked.
"No I didn't." Midoriichi answered as she looked on.
An image of Moniku popped into her head. "Moniku used chains in our last fight nineteen years ago. It could be just a coincidence, but it's too good of a coincidence. Hopefully I'm just looking too much into this." She said.
"So you're thinking the same thing." Jodan said. "I say we continue to observe before deciding anything. After all it could be a coincidence after all you can create weapons similar to those after all." Jodan said.
"I know." Midoriichi said. "I'm just wondering if she learned it on her own, or if someone taught it to her." She said looking towards Jodan.
"Go Midoriko!" Furui and Wakai shouted.
"Go Ichi!" Hekuta and Murasaki cheered.
"What's wrong Midoriko? You usually like to make the first move." Chisana-ichi stated.
"Just savoring the moment sis, just savoring the moment." Midoriko replied.
It would be a full two minutes before Chisana-ichi charged her. She swung the hammer and Midoriko jumped back as the hammer just missed her. Midoriko knew that her sister had no true intentions of hitting her, and that's where they differed. Midoriko brought the chains around to snare Chisana-ichi, but her younger sister used the hammer to intercept the chains.
"Gotcha!" She said as she pulled Midoriko in closer for an uppercut.
Midoriko stopped it by catching her fist. She jumped over her and pulled on the chains, but Chisana-ichi rolled underneath it. She rose quickly to see her sister running up to her. She threw the hammer at her, and Midoriko leapt over it. Chisana-ichi looked up to see Midoriko above her and she brought the chains around this time with the hammer ensnared in it down on Chisana-ichi, sending debris into the air.
"Did she win?" One of the Tori soldiers asked.
Kimiko smiled at how skilled her two daughters has become in battle.
"Midoriichi." Jodan said.
"I know." The Tori leader said as she kept her eyes on the fight.
When the dust cleared there was a dome of earth where Chisana-ichi was. Her hammer was lodged in the dome and Midoriko was shocked at her sister's level of skill. The dome cracked and Chisana-ichi emerged tackling Midoriko to the ground.
"Do you yield?" She asked Midoriko.
"Oh Ichi, the game is only just beginning." She said.
Using her demonic energy she knocked Chisana-ichi off of her and stood up. "Now, I'm motivated." She said with a demonic smirk as she walked forward.
Everyone looked on at Midoriko's change of attitude, could it have been that she was just playing around? What other attacks did she have up her sleeve.?
"I see you found your affinity for earth, but have you forgotten my affinity with the wind?" Midoriko asked.
Midoriko began to increase her output of demonic aura as it swirled around the area, the wind began to pick up and blow more harshly. Midoriko's green aura turned a darker shade of green, which didn't go unnoticed by the others.
'Yes, Midoriko that's it.' Moniku thought as the younger demon was unknowingly tapping into her dark powers. She stood above her sister, with a serious expression on her face.
Chisana-ichi knew that Midoriko wanted to finish this fight. So did she, at first she wasn't interested in becoming leader of the Tori, but after talking with Reo, she understood why she must become the next leader.
Chisana-ichi moved to stand up and without warning Midoriko attacked. She rolled out of the way as Midoriko's fist hit the ground. A powerful gust of wind shot out and hit her. She got to her feet and Midoriko punched her fist out and hit her again, this time Chisana-ichi was able to block some of it. Chisana-ichi felt the wind cut her. She shielded herself with her arms but the wind proceeded to cut her arms and legs and nicked her sides and she hissed from the pain.
Seeing that the wind was not going to stop she rushed forward to Midoriko and slammed the ground sending up a wall of earth.
"The game is over Midoriko!" Chisana-ichi announced. Chains wrapped around the rock and constricted it until it crumbled.
"Agreed." Was her response.
They collided punching each other in the face, and pushed each other back. Midoriko blasted her younger sister with more wind making her shield her face again. She looked up to see Midoriko smiling, making Chisana-ichi raise her eyebrow.
Suddenly chains shot up from the ground and wrapped around Chisana-ichi.
"Do you yield?" She asked her sister.
"No way, I'm going to win this." Chisana-ichi replied.
Midoriko sighed. "Have it your way." She said.
The winds grew even more violent and dark clouds suddenly appeared. Everyone knew what was going to happen; it was Midoriko's signature move.
"Midoriko you wouldn't?" She asked her older sister.
"Then yield, you can't win." She told her younger sister.
"Never." She said.
Midoriko pulled on the chains and brought Chisana-ichi down onto her knees. "I'll force you to surrender." Midoriko said as she began to cut her sister with the wind.
She remembered Moniku's words. "Just because she's your sister, doesn't mean you can go easy on her. Showcase your powers and if push comes to shove, show them that you mean business, that your serious about becoming the leader. Use that attack." Moniku's words echoed.
She cut Chisana-ichi again, cutting her across the leg making her yelp. Reo had seen enough and was going to stop the fight, but Josei stopped him. He looked at her, and she only shook her head, letting him know that there was nothing he could do.
"You're delaying the inevitable, it is not your destiny to lead the clan. That is my job." Midoriko said.
"How do you know what my destiny is? Maybe it's not your destiny to lead the clan, ever think of that?" She asked.
Midoriko growled. She knew she couldn't get her sister to submit through such trivial means. With no other choice she activated her technique.
"Kurai Tatsumaki." Midoriko said and a funnel cloud shot up from the ground into the sky, cutting them off from view.
Moniku smiled. 'Now that's what I wanted to see.' She said as she watched her apprentice go to work.
Inside the tornado Chisana-ichi began to struggle to gain freedom, but to no avail. "No escape sister."
Chisana-ichi jumped when a huge slash mark hit the ground in front of her. Suddenly two more landed next to her.
"Midoriko, this isn't funny. Stop it." She told her sister.
"There's no stopping anything now, Ichi." She answered.
Chisana-ichi screamed out as a gash appeared in her right arm, cutting into her deeply. Another cut into her chest. The cuts came more frequently as Midoriko sped up the rotation of the tornado.
Midoriko didn't stop there, as she continued to cut her from head to toe, randomly hitting her. Chisana-ichi screamed out, and she that she yielded, but Midoriko was not done. She needed her sister to understand, the difference between them.
"Your strong Ichi there's no doubt about that. However with your level of power, you can't do anything not one single thing. Your dream to unite the Tori and Neko is admirable but misguided. I on the other, I have seen what needs to be done. Love alone will never open the way to peace, what is needed is power, and I possess that power." Midoriko said.
Chisana-ichi could not respond, but she could tell that there was a different look in her eyes. Chisana-ichi managed to say a few words to her older sister. "Then what good is peace without love? What can power accomplish alone that love cannot, Midoriko?" She asked.
"I'll show." Midoriko answered.
Chisana-ichi then felt a stabbing pain, go through her chest, as a sharp sickle from the tornado pierced her heart and she hit the ground, eyes rolled to the back of her head.
The tornado vanished and everyone watched as Midoriko stood there standing looking at her younger sister.
"What happened?" Chita asked.
"I-I don't know. Ichi just stopped screaming." Reo said. Reo began to grow fearful after Chisana-ichi hadn't moved for a while. "Midoriko what did you do?" Reo asked her.
She said nothing as she gazed at Midoriichi. The other Tori members talked amongst themselves, not sure of what exactly happened. Looking back to her younger sister she saw her finger twitch. Chisana-ichi then gasped for air, and began to cough.
Realizing what had just happened, she searched her body and found that she was not covered in gashes, and her chest wasn't pierced through the heart. She looked up at her sister, to see the look in her eyes melt away.
"I thought you killed me. What was that?" She asked Midoriko.
"My new technique, I didn't want to test it out on you, but there was no other way to end this quickly." Midoriko said. "I'm sorry Ichi." She said.
Reo ran over to Chisana-ichi to make sure she was ok. Seeing this Midoriko walked away, it would be a while before their mother announced her decision, but she was sure she won. She took one last look at her sister and Reo, still feeling a little betrayed.
Midoriichi along with some of the others were confused, Midoriko hadn't touched after tying her up in the chains, but Chisana-ichi had started screaming, and seemingly passed out after a few minutes.
"Ron-kun, could you gauge what had happened?" Yori asked her lover.
"Afraid not. I'm not sure what we just witnessed, Yori." Ron answered.
However Kimiko and Jodan could understand what had just happened. Midoriko had created an illusion of some kind and put her sister through hell.
Moniku smiled. "Akumu no rerumu (Nightmare realm). Midoriko's new technique. All she needs to do is pump enough of her demonic aura into someone's body in this case her chains. Once inside the demonic aura fools the body five senses and allows Midoriko to manipulate them as she sees fit. It virtually has no weakness at least none that I can identify right off the bat."
Moniku then quickly disappeared; she still had a lot to teach the young demon, before she was ready for the final phase.
That's the end of this chapter. What do you think of Midoriko's new technique? Also in the new chapter Midoriichi and Jodan go to see if Josei could find anything out on Moniku's history with the Neko. Also Moniku has one more thing in store for Midoriko, but what can it be, stay tuned to find out.
