"OF COURSE a human can be made Sanjiyan by the Humanity Ritual!!!"


Chapter Ten:


Radio: War is the thing that I dispise! Cuz it means destruction of innocent lives! War! 
What is it good for?! Absolutely nothing! Say it again, yeah! War! What is it good for?! 
Good God, y'all!

Previously...

Ushasu (annoyed): After that, I left the lab and never went back. You know, now that I think 
about it, I never did get to see Rudo-kun ever again. I wonder how he's doing now?

Youko (^_^;;): ...I wouldn't know.

Latori (smiles): Well, I heard that --

Suddenly, someone popped out of nowhere and interrupted Latori! Who was it? Why, none other 
than Shiva, of course!

Ushasu (shocked): R-Rudo?!

Youko (shocked): Kaiyanwang!


* * *


Youko, Ushasu, Latori, and Mr. Satan stared at Shiva in shock. Shiva smirked, then folded 
his arms and grinned. He worn white t-shirt and black sweatpants. Casual, yet threatening.

Ushasu (still shocked): Rudo... is that really you?!

Shiva (nods): Hi, mom!

Without another word, Ushasu dashed and embraced Shiva. She sobbed. Shiva looked at his mom 
and his smirked again. The mother he never had...

Latori (turns to Mr. Satan): Isn't that nice? They're back together again...

Mr. Satan (shrugs): I guess so?

After a few more minutes of embracing, Ushasu finally let go of her son. She looked him over 
and nodded in approval.

Ushasu (smirks): You've grown a lot, Rudo.

Shiva (nervous chuckle): You think so, mom?

Youko looked at Shiva in confusion. She wondered why he was in Satan city?

Youko (confused): Kaiyanwang-sama, what are you doing here in Satan City?

Shiva noticed Youko and gasped in shock. He walked over and looked at and around her. He had 
a look of confusion.

Shiva (confused): Houasyou! Where is Benares?

Youko (confused): Huh?

Shiva (looks around): Isn't he with you? I came here to look for him. The folks around here 
said you were in this mansion.

Youko (shrugs): Well, he's not with me. He left by himself yesterday afternoon.

Shiva (rubs chin): Hmmm... that's strange. He never came home. Uukai's worried sick, you 
know.

Youko (wonders): Strange. Where could Benares-sama be?


* * *


Somewhere in the city was a big guy in black tanktops and blue jeans. He was walking around 
the city with a confused look on his face, as if he was lost or something. Well, actually, 
he was.

Benares (looks around): This stupid city...! Where the hell is the exit...?!

After walking for a couple more minutes, Benares decided that even someone as great as him 
needed help. So he tried using his master's foolproof method. However, the very second that 
he approached a citizen, she did the following things: 1) pointed at Benares, 2) screamed in 
horror, 3) ran off. In that particular order. Benares tried another fellow citizen, and the 
same thing happened. He tried again; third time's a charm, right? Nope. That guy followed 
the same sequence of events, too. Finally, he decided that maybe his luck was better if he 
tried one of the city's shops. That way, he could trap them if they tried to run off. He 
looked around and chose the first shop he saw -- only, it wasn't a shop, but a science lab 
of some sort.

Upon entering, Benares knew something wasn't right. He saw test tubes and men in white coats 
everywhere. He saw strange creatures inside the test tubes. He looked around, fascinated by 
the just about everything his eyes could see.

A few more minutes later, Benares decided that he had done enough sightseeing. He walked up 
to the first person he came upon and tapped him on the shoulder. It was a skinny, lanky guy 
with long black hair. The guy spun around to find Benares glaring at him.

Amara (looks): Yes?

Benares looked at Amara. Amara looked back at Benares. The two stared at each other for a 
total of 10 seconds. Then Amara decided he was uncomfortable.

Amara (?): Uhm, can I help you somehow?

Benares scratched his head. Why wasn't this guy screaming and running away?? He shrugged. 
Now that he had found help, perhaps it would be in his best interest not to jinx it.

Benares (nods): Yeah! Listen, I'm stuck in this damn city and I need help getting out. I 
live in Tokyo and I need directions getting from here to there.

Amara (scratches head): Tokyo? Hey, I've been there before. Well, my shift will be over in 
about an hour. Why don't you go look around the city until then? I'll take ya home when you 
come back.

Benares (shrugs): That's fine with me.

With that, Benares walked out of the lab and strolled around the city. He walked around and 
watched the pathetic humans scatter away upon looking at him. The big Wu pranced about some 
more, until suddenly, he heard an all-too-familiar voice, screaming and whining about some 
pointless, trivial thing.

Haan (yelling): WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S $3.50 FOR ICE CREAM?!?! WHAT THE HELL KIND OF CITY IS 
THIS ANYWAY?!

Ice cream dude (shrugs): Hey, man! You ordered a double fudge whip cream delight! Of course 
that's gonna be expensive!

Haan (glares): WELL, I REFUSE TO PAY! WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT?!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Haan was arguing with some ice cream vendor guy about the cost of 
the ice cream that he had just consumed.

Ice cream dude (picks up a telephone from nowhere): I'm gonna call the cops on you, that's 
what!

However, before the guy could even dial a number, Haan shoved him to the ground with one 
hand! His third eye, which had sealed off before, suddenly burst open! Haan smirked at the 
ice cream on on the ground, who suddenly was trembling with fear.

Haan (smirks): ...heh.

Ice cream dude (scared): You... you're a... a...

By now, Benares had crossed the intersection and stood just a foot behind Haan. Haan and 
the ice cream dude looked at him. Haan's smirk grew wider. The ice cream man screamed in 
fright.

Ice cream dude (screaming): A SANJIYAN!!! A WU!!! OH MY GOD!!!

Quite frankly, this confused Benares. How the heck did this puny human know about his 
elite Wu-ness?? Haan began to chuckle. Benares turned to him and evidently became even 
more confused.

Benares (confused): Magic Merchant! What's going on?? How did this human know about us?? 
And what are you doing here in Satan City?!

Haan (chuckles): Heh heh! You mean you didn't know? This city worship Sanjiyan Unkara's 
and Wu's!

Benares stared at him. Blankly. Haan only grinned in response.

Benares (shocked): It.. can't be! Over the years, those with knowledge of the Sanjiyan 
Unkara legend are few and far between! And yet... you're telling me that this whole damn 
city not only know about the legend, but they worship it??!

Haan (nods): Yeeep.

Benares (still shocked): This.. this is unbelievable!

Suddenly, he realized something.

Benares (!): Wait a minute here! If what you say is true, then.. there MUST be a Sanjiyan 
model somewhere for the city to worship! After all, who would worship a blank legend?? 
Merchant!! Do you know where that Sanjiyan is?!

Haan (points above Benares): Dude, look behind you.

Benares turned around and gasped! Behold, behind him was a large jade statue of two 
Sanjiyan woman in majestic clothing! The women depicted was none other than Latori and 
Ushasu!

Benares (shocked): Un.. unbelievable! N-not only one Sanjiyan Unkara, but... but two...!!

Benares walked over to the statue. He began to read the inscription engraved on a gold 
plate below the statue.

Benares (reading): "...Goddesses and Guardians of Satan City... Latori and Ushasu..."

Benares smirked upon reading that. Goddesses and Guardians, eh? Then they must have some 
magnificent powers! Powers that would fit Kaiyanwang-sama perfectly! Yes, they certainly 
were ideal for the Humanity Ritual! Benares began to laugh evilly.

Haan walked over and inspected the statue himself. He had to cover his ears because when 
Benares was laughing, man, he laughed loud! After reading, he folded his arms and also 
had an evil smile.

Haan (smirks): Heh heh heh... looks to me like I've found some worthy challengers! I'll 
show them the true power of Sanjihaan! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!


* * *


Somewhere not far away was a beautiful young woman. She had long, pink hair tied in two 
pigtails (in bow ties) and spikey bangs (sort of like Haan). For some bizarre reason, she 
worn brown ninja clothes with its sleeves cut and a really short white skirt. On her back 
was an old samurai sword. A white bandana wrapped neatly on her forehead. Brown boots. Her 
old clothing made her stood out when placed with modern city folks.

Yet when she walked around the city, instead of being ridiculed and laughed at, the 
citizens all waved and cheered at her. She smiled and waved back. She continued walking 
until she had reached her destination -- Satan Mansion.

A gate stood between her and the mansion itself. She looked up, and then smirked. Suddenly, 
from out of nowhere, she leaped from the ground and jumped over the gate! The ninja woman 
landed just in front of the mansion door. She searched around her pockets and realized that 
she had lost her keys. Damn. So she rang the bell.

The door opened and an old butler dressed in a black tuxedo stood before the ninja. He 
nodded and her and then gestured for her to enter. She did.

Butler (closing door): Welcome home, Neko-sama. I take it your training was successful?

The woman shrugged. She looked around the mansion. There were servants, maids, butlers, 
sofas, tables, televisons, a staircase, red carpet, etc. The rich people things. She 
sighed. Nothing had changed since the day she left on her journey.

Neko-chan (looking around): Where's Latori-sama?

Butler (points at the staircase): She is with the good sir. I believe they have guests 
over and are currently eating in the dining room on the 5th floor.

Neko-chan (hmm): Is that so?

Without another word, Neko-chan zoomed up the steps on the staircase with amazing speed. 
Her ninja sense told her that there were a couple of demons in that room, and if they were 
evil, then it was her duty to protect her Latori-sama. After a few quick seconds, 
Neko-chan had reached the dining room. She knocked on the door.

Latori (from inside): Come in!

With a fierce kick, Neko-chan kicked and broke down the door. She entered the room and 
folded her arms.

Latori (smiles): Oh, Neko-chan, you're back already.

Ushasu/Mr. Satan (annoyed): Oh, great.

Neko-chan bowed to Latori and glared at Ushasu and Mr. Satan. She looked at Youko and 
Shiva and realized that the youki she sensed was from them. She also noticed that the 
two were Wu and Sanjiyan Unkara, respectively.

Neko-chan (suspicious): Who are you two? And why are you here?

Youko (^_^;;): I'm a friend. My name is Youko Ayanokouji.

Shiva (smirks): And I am Shiva, but you may only address me as Kaiyanwang-sama.

Neko-chan (hmm): The same guy writing this story?

Shiva (shakes head): No, I'm me. That guy's an idiot.

Neko-chan (nods): I see.

Latori (^_^;;): Yeah. So anyway, Neko-chan, Youko-san stopped a robbery yesterday and got 
rid of the "Big Robbers" gang. Shiva-san here is Ushasu-chan's long lost son, as well as 
the mighty God of Destruction!

The ninja gasped in shock upon hearing that. Ushasu grinned and folded her arms. She stood 
next to Kaiyanwang and snickered.

Ushasu (snickers): Heh heh heh heh, that's right! My son is the fearful God of Destruction! 
I bet you must be wetting yourself now! Heh heh heh! I don't blame you!

Neko-chan (shocked): L-Latori-sama, surely you must be kidding! I mean... you mean to tell 
me that the old hag actually once had a husband to conceive a child with?!

Everybody comically fell on the floor. Except Neko-chan.

Ushasu (!@#$%): *(&#* WHY YOU! *&#!

Youko (^_^;;;;;): Uhhmm, Neko-san, we've already introduced ourselves to you. Why don't 
you tell us about yourself?

Neko-chan (smirks): Well, as you can see, I am a highly skilled ninja. And just like you, 
I am an Undead One; a Wu.

The pink haired ninja then proceeded to untie her bandana. A red Wu mark not unlike 
Youko's can be seen on her forehead. Youko and even Shiva gasped in surprise.

Neko-chan (folds arms): I used to be the best warrior in all of Edo. I made and defeated 
all my challenges. No one was better than me. But then...


*FLASHBACK*


Edo.

It was ancient Japan. This was Tokyo before it became Tokyo. People in ancient clothing 
can be seen among the town. There were venders selling all sorts of food, ranging from 
pastry to hot meals. Little children played in the streets. While most of the people were 
your everyday ancient joes, there were a few that were not.

Those people stood out from the rest. Almost all of them had raggedy clothing and a sword 
on their backs. Some had long hair, and some had... even longer hair. Most of them were 
male, though there were a couple of females. These people were the warriors who dedicated 
their lives on perfecting the art of the sword.

Somewhere away from Edo were two figures. A guy and a gal. They both stood dramatically 
on a bridge, and they both worn those raggedy clothes. They had had their swords in their 
hand, and glared at each other.

The guy had long brown hair, tied in a ponytail. The sleeves on his clothes were torn off, 
revealing his skinny, scar covered arms.

Neko-chan (glaring): This is your last chance to run. You don't stand a chance against me 
in a duel.

The other guy grinned. His sword was made of gold while Neko-chan's was made of fine 
silver. He placed himself in a fighting position.

Neko-chan (still glaring): I'll say it again, Touji-san. If your value your life, then 
back off! I don't want to kill you!

The guy's grin turned wider as he began to speak. His voice was deep, yet he spoke in a 
calm, quiet voice... almost like a whisper.

Touji (whispers): I'm more than ready, Neko-chan. More so than I'll ever be.

Then, without warning, the guy dashed off and charged at Neko-chan! He jumped up and then 
slashed at her! Although Neko-chan was surprised at first, she quickly recovered and 
quickly blocked Touji's assault with her sword. The two swords made a "CLANG!" sound as 
they made contact.

Neko-chan (smirks): Surprises... not bad.

Touji (grins): I've got plenty more!

With that, Touji jumped up and hovered into the sky for a few seconds. Neko-chan looked 
up and glared at him. She placed her sword into a defensive position as Touji dropped down 
from the sky. Another "CLANG!" sound. This time, Neko-chan fend him off, knocking him 
several feet away from her. She chased after him, sword in hand.

Touji flew a couple of feet until he braked and stopped himself. He looked up only to find 
Neko-chan already after him. He growled, then quickly dashed off to meet her with his sword. 
The two slashed at each other when they were close enough. Another "CLANG" ensued. And then 
another.

After a few minutes, the two stopped and flew away from each other. They landed at each end 
of the bridge. Both were tired and breathed heavily.

Neko-chan (breathing): You... you've come a long way. You... you actually lasted longer 
than a couple of seconds...

Touji sneered, then suddenly dashed towards Neko-chan! Neko-chan also did the same. 
Somehow, Touji slashed across Neko-chan's chest, and blood sprout from the newly inflicted 
wound. Neko-chan screamed in pain and slashed at her opponent. That attack was quite 
gruesome for it sliced off Touji's arm...

The arm, which also happened to be holding the sword, dropped to the ground. Touji screamed 
in pain and agony as he, too, fell down. He rolled around in pain. Neko-chan stood over him, 
breathing heavily. She waited for him to get up and continue the battle, but Touji didn't. 

Neko-chan's shadow towered over her opponent, and it was obvious who the victor was. She 
had finally ended the long-going rivalry that she and Touji had been in ever since they were 
5. It's over... or is it?

Suddenly, Touji stood up. Beads of sweat were covering his face. Neko-chan turned around 
and saw him... only it wasn't the same man she had been fighting before. Touji's eyes were 
masses of pupil-less white, and fangs had replaced teeth in his mouth. His skin was now a 
pale color. With blood still dripping from his new wound, Touji slowly walked towards 
Neko-chan.

Neko-chan was disgusted and shocked. Before her was no longer the man she had known... no, 
before her was a vile demon! She stared at him, stunned.

Neko-chan (stunned): What... what are you?!

The thing smirked. It spoke with a deep, distorted voice.

Touji (smirks): This... human... sold... his... soul... to... me...! Now... I... want... 
yours!

With that, the demon jumped forward and attacked Neko-chan! Neko-chan ducked and the demon 
stumbled around, its back turning to her. Neko took a few steps back, still stunned at the 
sight of her former rival.

The demon turned around, and as it did, it extended its hands and latched onto Neko-chan's 
throat. It lifted her off the ground and tightened its grip, choking the ninja. Dropping 
her sword, Neko-chan's hand grabbed Touji's and tried to pry him off. But his grip was too 
tight, and she slowly began to pass out. She gagged.

Suddenly, there was a bright light! The light caught the demon's attention, and it stared 
at it. At that point, the light expanded until it became the figure of a beautiful woman. 
It then exploded, resulting in the demon being knocked over. Neko-chan dropped down and she 
coughed and gasped for air.

The demon looked up and noticed that the light was gone. Instead, in its place was a cute 
blonde woman with three eyes and a red dot on her forehead. This newcomer glared at the 
demon and walked towards him.

Touji (annoyed): Who... are... you...?!

Latori (glaring): I am a Sanjiyan Unkara. Begone, lower demon!

Latori raised her hand, and a bright light formed from it. Latori waved that hand, 
releasing the light. It smacked the demon head-on, knocking it off the bridge and into the 
waters below. There was a loud explosion.

Latori turned around and faced a hurt Neko-chan. She looked down at her. A face full of 
confusion formed on Neko-chan's face as she looked back up at Latori.

Latori (smiles): Are you okay? You're safe now.

Neko-chan (confused): Who... who are you? Why'd you save me?

Latori (smiles): My name is Latori. I am part of the legendary Sanjiyan Unkara race. I 
came into the human world to look for a suitable Wu, and I think I've found her.

Neko-chan's eyes widen upon hearing that. She knew that the woman wasn't lying; her biggest 
proof was that third eye. But did the woman just say she wanted her as her Wu?

Latori (nods): Yes, that's true. You are the best ninja warrior I've ever seen, and I would 
really love it if you became my Wu...

Neko-chan stood up. She still gasped for breath, but she was feeling much better now. Then, 
without question, she accepted to be Latori's Wu. After all, the job of a Wu was to protect 
the life of the Sanjiyan master, right? Well, this Sanjiyan just saved her life, and it 
would be a honorable thing to do the same.

Neko-chan (breathing heavily): Yeah... alright... I'll be your Wu...

Latori smiled and nodded, then proceeded to do the soul sucking thing. Neko-chan's soul 
came out of her body and entered Latori's third eye. A red "Wu" mark slowly appeared on her 
forehead.


*END FLASHBACK*


Neko-chan (smirks): And that's how I became a Wu. I'be been one for hundreds of years.

Shiva (bored): Lame!

Youko (in awe): Oh, wow... talk about being honorable. And that Touji...

Neko-chan (smirks): Yeah. Anyway, I shouldn't brag, but my skills have improved quite a 
lot in the past years. I still strongly believe that I'm still the best warrior ever.

Shiva (grins): That's only your opinion!

That remarked caused everyone to stare at Shiva. He folded his arms and then chuckled.

Neko-chan (annoyed): What?!

Shiva (chuckles): Heh heh... I can easily tell you that there IS someone better than you. 
In fact, I'm pretty sure he's been alive longer than you, too!

Neko-chan (offended): What did you say?!

Youko (slaps forehead): Oh, boy.

Instantly, Youko knew who Shiva was referring to. Come on, when it comes down to it, there 
was only one suitable person that Shiva was talking about -- and thank God he was lost in 
the city, otherwise it would be total chaos if he was in the same room.

Suddenly, Neko-chan gasped in surprise. The others turned to her.

Neko-chan (gasps): There's a powerful youki coming this way! Unbelievable!

Youko sighed. She could sense the youki herself, and knew exactly who it belonged to...
