Chiyo: Hey! So I won't talk much, but I hope you guys enjoy this chapter!

Chapter 21

Rematch, Begin!

Izumi was caught between Zephyr and Seiko, making them both pretty mad. Pudding and Lettuce were ready to fight Pashibaru, Rin decided fighting against Mitsukie could be fun, Marin went back to Ichigo, and Killi wasn't up for fighting, so she stayed idle for a little bit.

Zakuro and Mint looked at each other, seeming to be forgotten by everyone. "I hope Izumi will be okay... Zephyr and Seiko are pretty strong, and putting the two together seems really dangerous..." Lettuce said, holding her castanets.

Back to the one on one fight scenes! Lettuce and Pudding vs. Pashibaru!

"Lettuce..." Pudding whispered, standing next to her green haired friend. "I'm scared that we won't be able to defeat him..."

"Don't say that." Lettuce said, watching Pashibaru step closer to them. Pashibaru dashed at the two, thrusting his lighter, and sharper, raiper at Lettuce. They were obviously no match for him, but they had to at least try. Lettuced dodged the attack as Pudding tried to freeze him in jelly. But almost instantly, Pashibaru broke out and lunged at Pudding, thrusting his rapier towards her stomach. Lettuce's attack missed him, throwing him off balance slightly and skimming Pudding's stomach. Being faster then he was before, he thrusted at Pudding again. Trying to jump out of the way, she wasn't fast enough. The raiper skimmed the other side of her stomach and Pashibaru dashed over to Lettuce, thrusting his raiper towards her. He wasn't going to give the girls any chances to fight back it seemed, he was too fast and strong. "Ah-!" Lettuce's shocked scream was cut off as she tried jumping out of the way, but instead being sliced in the stomach with Pashibaru's raiper.

"Lettuce!" Pudding yelled, running over to Pashibaru. He turned around quickly, his raiper cutting Pudding's chest. "Ah!" Pudding fell backwards, onto her butt.

Lettuce did her attack again, and Pashibaru was thrown onto the ground. Pudding and Lettuce did their attack almost at the same time, Pudding was just slightly faster. The second Pashibaru was trapped in Pudding's jelly, he bursted out of it to be hit by Lettuce's attack again. He just got even more angry and lunged at Pudding, slicing her arm with his raiper and then quickly over to Lettuce. His speed left Lettuce off balance and his rapier stabbed through Lettuce's arm. "Ah...!" Lettuce's scream was all shock, fear, and pain.

"LETTUCE! HOW DARE YOU HURT LETTUCE!" Pudding screamed, picking up a stick and whacked him on the head. Pashibaru pulled out his raiper and stumbled backward. "You'll pay!" Pudding yelled again, hitting Pashibaru harder with the stick on his head again. Before she could hit him again though, she felt pain fly through her body.

It was all she felt, pain. She looked down and there was Pashibaru's raiper stuck in her leg. A purple whip flew over, hitting Pashibaru's shield. "Zakuro!" Lettuce smiled in pain.

Pashibaru smirked, pulling his raiper out of Pudding's leg. It was dripping with blood as Pudding screamed louder as it left her leg. He charged at Zakuro, aiming for her stomach. Zakuro dodged the attack, rolling over toward Lettuce. Pashibaru instantly turned around and cut some of Zakuro's hair as he tried hitting her. "Zakuro you've come to save us!" Pudding yelled in pain.

Zakuro shot a glare at Pashibaru, watching her hair fall in the corner of her eye. He lunged at her again as the girls did their attacks. Pudding was first. Of course, Pashibaru bursted through it fast, only to be hit by Lettuce's attack and being thrown on his butt. Zakuro's whip left a cut on his arm. Pashibaru didn't even seem hurt by this as he got up and lunged at Zakuro. Her stomach was cut slightly by his raiper and he quickly went over to Pudding. Pudding tried her best to jump out of the way, recieving a cut on her cheek as he lunged over to Lettuce. He was smiling, freezing Lettuce where she was. He took his raiper and thrusted it towards her. She quickly jumped out of the way, seeing a purple whip pull off Pashibaru's sheild on his back. She struck again as his raiper missed Lettuce. He winced in pain as a whip landed against his back. He quickly stood up again, pointing his raiper at Lettuce's neck with a smile. Zakuro and Pudding were frozen, unsure of what to do. Lettuce's eyes were full of anger, something that wasn't really in her eyes at all. She was too late to start to cast her attack as Pashibaru moved his raiper from her neck at to her stomach, thrusting to stab it in her stomach. She was forced to roll out of the way, getting a cut on her cheek as his raiper followed her.

As Zakuro started to swing her whip, Pashibaru turned around and swatted it away. The girls were breaking up a sweat, trying attacks left and right, but Pashibaru was still in perfect shape with his shield on his back. He wasn't out of breath or tired or anything while the girls were. Lettuce and Pudding were on their hands and knees, panting, while Zakuro was still standing, but also panting. "Z-Zakuro..." Lettuce whispered, looking at her with worried eyes.

"Zakuro is so brave..." Pudding whispered.

Pashibaru lunged at Zakuro, aiming for her shoulder. Zakuro was losing her speed, so the raiper cut her shoulder as she jumped out of the way. Pashibaru didn't give her a chance to rest, attacking here and there, left and right, attack after attack, and Zakuro wasn't really able to do much. She had scratched and cuts all over her body, though she wasn't bleeding all that bad. She fell to her hands and knees, hearing the sound of Pashibaru's raiper swoosh through the air. "ZAKURO!" Pudding and Lettuce screamed in unison...

Mitsukie vs. Rin!

Mitsukie had her swords ready, watching Rin with fear. Rin went almost fully invisable again, making Mitsukie panic a little. She lept towards where Rin was standing and swung her swords, hoping that he was still there. Her sword skimmed something, which made her swing again, but she missed Rin as he ran father away. He became visable again and casted a fire ball at her. She had no idea what to do so she could only roll away, well kinda. As she rolled away from the line of fire (Pun intended...), a lightning bolt came down and zapped Mitsukie, making her come to a dead stop. She gripped her swords tightly as she stood back to her feet. Anger and fear filled all happy emotions she had at that time, but she still couldn't let Rin win. Last time, when she faught Pashibaru, she felt the same way. She wasn't a fan of fighting, but she didn't really show it last time. She won by pure luck, and this time, she knew she wasn't going to win that easily. She ran towards Rin to find out that he was (A/N: Ok, so I know PrinceUrufu said his power is magic like shapeshifting ... So taking it the way I did at first without doubting myself, I'm going to guess he can turn into any kind of animal ...? So sorry if I understood that wrong! . I really hope if that's not what you meant, then you won't be too mad ^^") growling at Mitsukie. Mitsukie gasped and stopped dead in her tracks, staring at the small, fluffy, white animal in front of her. The animal's glare towards Mitsukie pushed her even further into fear. Her red panda tail was pushed against the back of her legs, showing she was truely scared. She kept a hold of her swords tightly as she stared at the fuzzy beast in front of her. With another growl, it leapt towards Mitsukie. Mitsukie could only think of defending herself, so she stayed on defense the entire time.

As the wolf was close to her, ready to bite her, she jumped backwards as she swung her sword at Rin. Her sword skimmed over the wolf's eye, making her think about what Rin would look like when he shapeshifted back. Rin ran towards Mitsukie again, a slight smirk on his face. His paws made a pitter patter sound as he charged at Mitsukie. She was so scared, she was almost frozen. With a slight, scared scream, she jumped out of the way of Rin's pounce. She turned around to see not a wolf, but Rin throwing a fire ball at her. Not having a clue what to do about the now stronger Rin, she could only dodge his fire balls and lightning bolts as best as she could. She lunged towards Rin and swung her swords. Although her attack was strong, she was still scared. Rin simply moved out of the way and shocked her with a strong lightning bolt. "Ah- nnngghh..." Mitsukie wobbled to her feet after a slight scream of pain. She groaned as she faced Rin. "Why...?" She whispered.

"Why?" Rin repeated her question, watching Mitsukie as she shook in fear and pain. "Why would you want to know?" He asked. "What do you know about us?"

"Sh-shut up and answer me!" Mitsukie yelled, clenching her swords tightly. "Don't shoot questions back me..."

"Why do you want answers so bad?" He asked, not looking like he was ready to fight. He had a cut across his eye though, so he kept it closed for now. Other then that cut, he wasn't hurt at all.

Mitsukie didn't have an answer for him, but his questions kept flying through her mind, when...

Ichigo vs. Marin

"This'll be fun, right, Ichigo?" Marin giggled, holding her triton. "Oh I'll have so much fun getting pay back on you, Ichigo!"

"How will this be fun?!" Ichigo snapped, holding her strawberry bell tightly in her hand.

"Heeeheee..." Marin smirked. "How about whoever wins..." She looked over to Ryou who was coughing again, getting Keiichiro pretty worried. "...Wins him?!"

"Can I go kill your bitch of a friend?!" Ichigo snapped again, glaring at Killi who was chuckling and watching Ryou with a smirk.

Marin sighed and zapped Ichigo with a strong bolt of lightning. "Ahem. Over here, Ichigo." Marin said, annoyed. (Ok, if you guys don't get my shitty references, read the very end of this chapter to figure out where my references come from XD) "Killi can do as she wants-"

"No!" Ichigo yelled, glaring at Marin. "If you want a fight for Ryou, then fight Killi, she's the one who put a pill or something in his mouth."

Killi caught a hold of Ichigo's and Marin's glare and laughed. "Why her?" Marin asked, shocking Ichigo with a strong bolt of lightning. "You're obviously much closer to him then anyone else is. Hmm... Maybe we could team up and totally take you out!" Marin giggled as a strong tidal wave washed over Ichigo and sent her flying. "Heehee..."

Before Ichigo could stand up again, another wave landed on her. The sudden lack of oxygen sent Ichigo into a panic as the wave slowly dissapeared. She gasped for breath and grabbed her Strawberry Bell. As she began to cast her Strawberry Surprise, she was struck with a strong bolt of lightning again. "Ahh!" Ichigo screamed out in pain, dropping her Strawberry Bell.

"What's the matter, kitty?" Marin teased.

"Y-you can't..." Ichigo started, making Marin give her the face that said 'What are you even talking about, of course I can!'. "You can't... Take Ryou..." Ichigo said, picking up her Strawberry Bell.

A sudden, beautiful voice filled her ears, but it came with a few down sides... Ichigo covered both her cat ears and her normal ears in pain. Marin's voice echoed through her head, giving Ichigo ear pains. For a second she thought she saw Ryou actually walking over towards Marin, who had her arms folded with a smirk. "What's wrong, kitty-cat?" She giggled.

"R-Ryou...!" Tears formed in the corner of Ichigo's eyes. "No...!" Tears flew down Ichigo's cheeks as she stood there, watching as she thought she saw Marin and Ryou kissed. "Why..."

With a giggle, Marin pointed her triton at Ichigo. As Ichigo cried, a lightning bolt came down and struck her, sending her to her knees. "Sorry, but he's mine~" Marin giggled, using her voice in a song to make Ichigo become paralized.

"No!" Ichigo yelled, getting the attention of Ryou and Keiichiro, not close enough to be hurt. "That's not right!" She whinned, unable to pick herself up off the ground. "You can't..!"

"Aw, sweetie... I already did." Marin laughed, hitting Ichigo with another lightning bolt. "But think as you want, in the end, lets see how this turns out, shall we?"

"You can't!" Ichigo yelled again, trying to pick herself up from the ground. "H-he... I..."

"Awee... Such cute love you have for him..." Marin giggled. She pointed her triton at Ichigo and a bolt of lightning came down, almost making Ichigo unconscious when...

Izumi vs. Seiko and Zephyr!

"So, Izumi! How was that friend of yours?!" Seiko laughed, dodging Izumi's swings of her scythe.

"Shut up!" Izumi yelled, quickly changing targets and threw her scythe blades at Zephyr. With a smirk, Zephyr ran towards Izumi and knocked her off balance with a small gust of wind. Although it didn't work out like he wanted it to, he was still able to whack his shinai against Izumi's head, back, then wrist. "Hnnn!" Izumi ignored the pain and brought her scythe blades back, spinning around her. She knew that Zephyr was a great danger to her, but she still wanted to attack Seiko first. Catching her glare at Seiko, Zephyr went to try hitting his shinai against Izumi's head again. But in an instant, Izumi jumped towards Seiko. The three of them were very fast, meaning anyone who watches the fight would have no clue what was going on until it was over or someone fell to the ground in pain. As Seiko tried to dodge Izumi, she placed her hand quickly on the blades, getting a cut on her palm, and quickly flew over to Zephyr.

With a smirk, Seiko put her hands on her hips. "That girl your friend was with. Is that her child?"

"I told you to leave them out of this!" Izumi shouted, lunging towards Seiko again. "She has nothing to do with this!"

"Psh, making friends with the humans?" Zephyr asked, sighing heavily.

"Shut up, Zephyr." Seiko snapped. "She wasn't my friend, I was helping out Killi. Geez." Seiko sighed.

"Doesn't mean you have the right to kill her!" Izumi shouted again, skimming Seiko's cheek with her scythe blades. "You only had to poke her with Killi's stupid needle!"

Taking the advantage of having no defence, Zephyr used his aerokinesis to make Izumi lose balance. He quickly ran over there, faster then he was before, and quickly hit her against her head, body, then wrist multiple times. "Ahh, nice one, kid!" Seiko laughed, brushing the blood off her cheek.

"I'm not a kid!" Zephyr yelled, folding his arms as Izumi stumbled around for a few seconds.

Still, pushing the pain aside to take out her built up anger out on Seiko, Izumi pulled back her scythe blades and turned it back into her scythe. As soon as she grabbed the handle of her scythe, she swung around at full speed and strength, leaving a cut on Zephyr's chest. "Ha.. Even with on-" Seiko started.

"Shut up!" Zephyr glared at Seiko, causing her to stay queit.

Izumi lunged at Seiko, but she didn't expect her to have a trick up her sleeve. Seiko dodged Izumi's attack, put as Izumi went by her, Seiko placed a hand on Izumi's shoulder. "We should play some more. Right, Izumi?" Seiko giggled, her beautiful light blue eyes now dark red.

"Ugh, Seiko you're too into this." Zephyr sighed, annoyed. "At least calm down so I can have a little fun!"

Izumi's scythe faded from her hand and appeared in Seiko's hand. "M-my scythe...?!" Izumi asked, confused as she turned around to her enimes.

"Oh come on, it's not my fault I have split personalities. Geez." Seiko sighed, twirling around Izumi's scythe. "Defeat Zephyr, and we'll have so much fun!"

Out of anger of both taking this like a game and killing her friend, Izumi charged at Zephyr with no defense of weapon. Seiko laughed, living up to her name as her laugh was that of a physco. Zephyr didn't hold back, he tried to hit her many times, but Izumi dodged the main attacks that would lead to his technique where he hit her in the head, body, then wrist multiple times. Although he was able to use his aerokinesis, she was still determined to beat the crap out of Seiko, so she stayed strong. 'WHACK' Seiko looked shocked as the sound echoed through her mind. Zephyr's shinai hit Izumi's head, harder then before, then he hit her in the back and then her wrist. "Nnngh..." Izumi jumped away from Zephyr, her vision fuzzy.

"I want some fun! Don't kill her, Zephyr!" Seiko whinned, stabbing Izumi's scythe into the ground. "Well, Izumi." Seiko laughed, walking over to her as Zephyr sighed angerily. "Time to have some fun!"

Izumi's head hurt so bad she couldn't really focus on anything. She saw Seiko stepping towards her and in defense, she used her martial art skills. She kicked Seiko in the side and knocked her over, but falling to her hands and knees in the process. The grass seemed to be more fuzzy then ever, more welcoming then before. The feel of it on her hands made her want to collapse and lie in the grass. The extreme pain in her head yelled at her to fall over and sleep for a while. She felt something hot stab through her hand and she thought Seiko was just going to burn her. But when her vision focused on the thing stabbed through her hand, Izumi realized it was just a sword... Not any sword, Seiko's sword. She looked up at Seiko, her vision starting to get more fuzzy. Seiko smirked and whsipered; "Goodbye... Izumi..." and swung her sword down at Izumi...

Chiyo: So I know I still haven't gotten to Mint or Killi, but because the main fight scenes are over (mainly...), I will have to continue this in another chapter!

Mitsukie: What about the refrences?

Chiyo: Oh yes! Thank you! Ok, so you can ignore me if you found my references and know them. But - If you've ever played 'The Wtiches House' I wanna see if you can guess the two references I put into this chapter! But... I reccomend watching the MMD movie to it. It's called 'The End' by Nipah Movie on YouTube. I haven't played the game in a while, but I remember that I grabbed the references from that. Also, if you know of Markiplier, I already love you. Most of the references to Mark won't be that noticable, it's just tiny little things that reference to his channel... Like the "Ahem, over here Ichigo." that Marin said, comes from 'Google IRL' made by Mark and Matthias-

Izumi: You shouldn't have reminded her.

Chiyo: -so I re- oh... *covers mouth*

Pudding: Bahhhhh and you all though I talk to much?!

Ichigo: You think I talk to much and make your ears bleed? Geez

Chiyo: ;n; sorry I spoke so much... Hope you still come around for chapter 22..! ... Also expect more references because I'm lame and I really only make references to things I like like IB, Witches House, Mark- *shuts up and quietly crawls under my bed, trying to stop myself from talking more*
