Kagura Hearts

Chapter 42 ~ Sora VS the Ryo Sisters

The Ryo Sisters immediately point their guns at Sora and Ikaruga. The red sister had a Karabiner 98k rifle, while the pervy sister pointed twin uniquely double-barreled Handguns with lit blue stripes on each, signifying them as somewhat of a set of laser guns.

Standing besides Ikaruga, Sora then asked, "We get that you're sisters, but I'm pretty sure 'Ryo' isn't either of your names, so Ryo one and two, mind filling in the blanks before we do this?" The red sister then answered, "My name is Ryobi." The pervy sister then followed up by answered, "-And I'm Ryona, it's a pleasure, cutie." Ryobi then said, "And I'm afraid hand-to-hand combat really isn't our forte. Our fighting style involves unloading bullets into the target's brains until they're left with HALF a mind to think."

Sora then said, "OK, they're pure evil." Ikaruga then said, "Yes, Ryobi's rather bloodthirsty, so she'll likely be the more dangerous of the sisters." Sora then asked, "I suppose I'll have to tangle with her then. But do I have to worry about Ryona?" Ikaruga then explained, "I'll manage against her, just stay away from her and you'll be alright." Sora however wondered, "Wait, why do you get to fight her? We could-."

"STAY AWAY FROM RYONA, SHE'S A BAD INFLUENCE!"

The area went silent while Sora simply nodded and faced Ryobi.

Ryobi pointed her gun at Sora and said, "Facing ME, eh, Keyblade Master? I'm rather embarrassed. After all, you seem to have ignored your friend's information about me being A BLOOD-THIRSTY AND DANGEROUS SISTER!"

Shooting several rounds, Ryobi nearly shot Sora's feet each time while Sora could only dodge and run while the madwoman kept making precise shots nearly scarring his legs!

"If I can't use my legs…"

Sora then surprised Ryobi by standing on his hands!

"Let's see you shoot my wrists off."

Ryobi smugly pointed her gun at his hands…

But the instant she pulled the trigger, Sora vanished, leaving nothing but a crater in his place…

"Truth be told, I've been using my hands to fight for some time since I was 4. Either sword-fighting, or putting up my dukes in random brawls. After training with Hanzo's oddball crew though, I'm happy to say their training sessions and the instruction given by their sensei, Kiriya, gave me something of a strength-boost, making my arms as capable as my legs, especially when they're the ones jumping."

Ryobi suddenly noticed Sora was standing on her shoulders with his hands!

Shocked as she was, Ryobi still shook it off by angrily asking, "GRRR, WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH TELLING ME YOUR LIFE STORY, HUH?! You're mocking me, just by avoiding my bullets and resorting to dancing like a friggin' clown on my shoulders!" Sora however said, "I'm not insulting you, I'm fighting you with everything I got. Shooting at my legs is a bit of a cowardly move when you're not even going to try fighting hand-to-hand or blade-to-blade, so I'm relying on my strength of arms to match your skills with guns…not that they're any better than a Keyblade."

Ryobi however reached Sora's back and SLAMMED him down before her!

"My guns are 'no better'? MY GUNS ARE NO BETTER? Well can your feet swing a sword fast enough to knock THESE out of the park?!" Ryobi suddenly released several bombs from her overcoat, bouncing along while lit up for explosive power each while homing into Sora!

Launching himself away, Sora watched as massive explosives lit up the area while Ryobi pulled out her rifle and shot crazily at Sora, who managed to dodge every shot aimed at him before landing and swinging his Keyblade onto Ryobi's wrists and shattering her rifle!

"Alright, NOW I can fight with my feet on the ground!"

Sora unleashed several heavy swings from the Keyblade, knocking Ryobi away while Ikaruga shielded him from a sudden shot from behind by Ryona! Ikaruga then said, "Excellent use of blade, Sora, but we're not out of the woods yet! Ryobi has more than just a rifle and bombs!"

"Actually, that IS all I have, and all I need!" Ryobi said as she suddenly summoned several magic circles before her…

"Taste my Ricochet Prelude!"

The instant she pulled the trigger, Ryobi actually shot out about 18 bombs from the circles, each one started to fly over to Sora, while Ryobi pulled out ONE bullet and loaded it into her rifle…

"Here's a tidal wave of inferno, STRAIGHT FROM THE KITCHEN!"

And with one bullet to the closest bomb, Sora was blown away! And as Ryobi laughed maniacally, Sora collided with several evil ninjas still watching! His blow on the wall however was cushioned by the Evil Ninjas behind him!

Sora stumbled while trying to get up, but Ryobi wasn't willing to take that chance, so she twirled her rifle like a golf club and was about to deliver a jaw-breaking hit on Sora's face…

But as soon as her rifle's opposite end inched towards Sora's nose, that end suddenly dropped, all while revealing to Ryobi that someone sliced the wooden end in seconds…

Sora then managed to sweep his leg against Pyobi's ankle, tripping her while he catches her leg and tosses her straight into Ryona, who seemed to enjoy the pain!

Ikaruga then helped Sora up. As he stood, he said, "Thanks Ika, I owe you one." Ikaruga blushed and smiled at Sora while saying, "It was I who owed you the most, Sora. My previous actions in the bed were-." Sora however said, "-All water under the bridge, bud. You WERE just dreaming after all…plus, your hug was…well, I liked your hug." Ikaruga fumed in happiness and embarrassment.

"-YOU TWITS THINK IT'S OVER?!"

Sora and Ikaruga look over to see Ryobi toss Ryona like a sack of wet mud over at them, forcing Sora and Ikaruga to move aside and avoid the collision while Ryobi yelled, "I…REFUSE…DEFEAT! I AM A HIGH CLASS EVIL NIN FOR A REASON, BECAUSE I GET THE JOB DONE! JUST LIKE YOU, YOU'LL ALL BE SPLATTERS OF RED BEFORE I'M DONE KILLING YOU!"

Sora however argued, "RYOBI, TRUST ME, I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT A MISSION SEEMS, BUT UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE FIGHTING FOR, YOU'RE JUST GOING TO LOSE MORE! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO'S IN YOUR SCHOOL RIGHT NOW?!"

Ryona, even though the pain of the collision made her twitch in satisfaction, suddenly felt somewhat terrified, as if what Sora said made sense, compared to what she saw earlier…

"Hey Ms. Suzune, what's with the hickey on your neck? Did you stay up late with another paying client or something? That's gotta be one hell of a mark-."

Ryona remembered the teacher, Suzune, who had a peculiar mark on her neck, but what she saw later was rather disturbing, as a strange form of green mixed with her blood dripped from that 'hicky', and what was even creepier was how Suzune's eyes had green veins touching them…

Sora then continued, "WE SUSPECT IT'S ONE OF THE CREATURES WHO IS DESTROYING YOUR WORLD, ONE OF THE FOUR FIENDS!"

Sora suddenly threw his Keyblade aside and walked over to Ryona while a flabbergasted Ryobi asked, "HEY, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! GET BACK HERE!" Sora however helped up Ryona and said, "You need to cool off, Ryobi, the way you're acting now, I can't talk to you." Ryobi however stormed over, despite being rash-minded, Ryobi would NOT tolerate being ignored…

Sora meanwhile looked at Ryona and asked, "Listen, I'm not here to kill students or make any more of a mess than I already made. I'm just trying to find the thing that's lurking in your school. According to Kiriya, his rival, someone named 'Suzune', works in this school as one of the teachers. They were due for their traditional monthly battle, at least, according to the teacher, but it's been a month since then. He knew her as someone who never disappoints for an appointment. So…he sent me with the Hanzo girls to find out why."

Ryona's eyes however were looking elsewhere, making Sora rather on edge from all the drool coming from her mouth…

Before Sora could walk away, Ryona surprised him by grabbing his arm and pressing his forearm against her cheek while saying, "Mmm, you appear scrawnier than the average scarecrow, but your muscles and skin…they're so…OOOH, THEY'RE SOFTER THAN A RABBIT'S FUR-!"

"GET BACK ON TRACK YA PERV-(ahem), look, if I can't stop these things, everything and everyone you know will die. Is there ANYTHING you can tell me about anything or anyone out of the ordinary? Anything at all?" Sora asked. Ryona sighed and decided to comply with Sora's request, "Jeez, can't heroes take the compliment? VERY WELL, I'll tell you. While I was ever so-innocently trolling around the hallways, I spotted about 15 bite marks on the necks of our senior staff, teachers included…Suzune included. They each seemed to care little about my own advances, treating my invitations as simple Wet Floor Signs', and the bites, each of them seemed to leak a weird green fluid while the pupils of the victims…they were creepier with the green veins running through them…so yeah, chances are there IS a 'fiend' trying to take over the school."

Ikaruga then asked, "Do you have an idea where this monster could be located?" Ryona answered, "I noticed several of those bitten bitches leaving the training gardens. You were here before, right 'Miss Masamune'? Just take our hero over here over there and there's a sure bet that the freak will be there, giving hypno-hickies to another unlikely customer." Sora then said, "Thank you, I promise, I won't let this monster destroy your school!"

As Sora and Ikaruga ran off, Ryona waved goodbye while Ryobi snapped, "THAT BASTARD GOT AWAY THANKS TO YOU, YOU IDIOT! OUR ORDERS WERE TO KILL THE KEYBLADE MASTER, NOT FLIRT WITH HIM!" Ryona winked at Ryobi and asked, "Do you think it's necessary to snap at your big sister like that? I mean, why kill him when the creature mind-controlling our school superiors could do the dirty work for us?" Ryobi sighed and nodded, "Perhaps you have a point…STILL, if that guy says this monster, this 'Fiend' of 4, is threatening our home and this world, don't you think we should take responsibility and slay it ourselves?" Ryona answered, "We're effective when we're gathered together. We'll just report them to Miyabi and she and the remaining classmates will reunite with us, and THEN we'll play with our food…RIGHT, Sora?"
