"OF COURSE a human can be made Sanjiyan by the Humanity Ritual!!!" Chapter Thirteen: Radio: I'm someone else! I'm someone new! I'm someone stupid just like you! ... the valley of the dolls ... is the valley of the dead ... I'll be born again! ... I'll be born again! ... I'll be born again ...! The scene was Satan Mansion. The time of day was 8:00 PM. The setting was a dinner table with people eating. No, more like devouring. Everybody was having a good time. It had been a couple of hours since chapter 12. And if you recall in the last chapter, Ushasu agreed to participate in the Humanity Ritual that will include her, Latori, and of course, Shiva. When Latori heard about this, she was more than happy to join in. Of course, this was a bad thing, and it was Youko's duty to convince the two Goddesses of that. However, Houasyou's hands were already tied up with Haan/Sanjihaan ... of whom was still unconscious. Just then, someone spoke up. Neko-chan (confused): Uhhmm ... pardon me, but what's a "Humanity Ritual"? Shiva dropped his folk. Benares looked at Neko-chan with a confused look. Benares (confused): What do you mean? Didn't you see the Humanity Ritual that I performed in chapter 7? Neko-chan (shakes head): Nope. I was busy training. I haven't been around since chapter 5. So tell me, what's a "Humanity Ritual"?? At that point, Shiva became nervous. He knew that Neko-chan would most definitely object to becoming an oridinary human with Latori. He also knew of Neko's great skills as a swordswoman, and that her interference could ruin everything. So he decided that he would lie. Only he wasn't prepared to lie, so he had to think of something quick. The lie would have to be something believable ... hmm ... how about saying the "Humanity Ritual" was like a game of chess?? Perfect! That was almost too easy! Yes, a game of chess would certainly be the perfect lie! Surely the ninja would believe it, Shiva thought! But then ... >:D Benares (smirks): The Humanity Ritual is a ritual where 3 Sanjiyan Unkara's come together. Two of those Sanjiyan's are to give their powers to a 3rd Sanjiyan, and as a result, the two powerless Sanjiyan Unkara's become human beings and the 3rd guy gets a new boost of power. This can all be done with the aid of the Ningen no Zou. Shiva (mouth drops): BEN ... BENARES YOU IDIOT!!! Benares (confused): Eh? Ushasu and Latori also knew that Neko-chan would interfere, so they opted not to tell her. But now it's too late ... Ushasu/Latori (smacks foreheads): Oh, boy. Neko-chan (ominous shadow over her face): So ... so, who will be that lucky 3rd Sanjiyan? Benares (smirks again): Why, Kaiyanwang-sama, of course. Shiva's mouth dropped further. What the hell was the matter with Benares!? He was going to ruin everything!! Shiva (VERY annoyed): Benares, will ... you ... please ... SHUT UP?!?! Benares (confused): Huh? Why? Shiva (O_O;;;;;;): I HAVE TO EXPLAIN WHY!?!? Suddenly, just as Shiva and Benares were having a grand old time talking, a dark figure jumped up and slashed at them with her katana sword! Shiva and Benares both jumped away just in time. The dinner table was slashed in two. Neko-chan (glares at Benares and Shiva): You're not going to turn Latori-sama into human! With that, she grasped her katana tighter and ran towards the two. She made a battle cry as she attacked the two evil dudes! All that commotion caused Sanjihaan to finally wake up. That startled Youko, who was watching the fight with glee. If she couldn't stop Kaiyanwang or Benares, then it was up to Neko-chan to do so! Sanjihaan (mumbling): Wha ... who ... who's a cow ...? Youko looked at Sanjihaan with a O_o;;; look. He was still wrapped in bandages like a mummy. However, for some bizarre reason, Youko could sense that it wasn't Sanjihaan talking, but Haan, rather. Youko (looks): Haan? Is that you? Haan (mumbling): Eh ... who are ... you know ... cold feet ...? Youko decided that maybe it was all that bandage that was slurring his speech. So she then unwrapped all that bandage from him. After that, she looked Haan over, and was surprised that he was completely healed after Ushasu's attack. All the scratch marks were gone. However, one thing that was still visible was that Haan's eyes were still swirls! Youko (confused): Haan, what's wrong with your eyes?? Haan (?): You're a pretty lady. Youko (O_o;;): Uhm, what? Haan, are you alright?? Haan (nods): Haan is fine! Haan is the greatest Sanjiyan Unkara alive! Haan demands pretty lady to bow to Haan's power! Youko (very confused): Wha ... what the ...?? * * * Shiva and Benares stood on the grass field outside of Satan Mansion. The wind blew in different directions, causing Shiva's long, blond hair to cover his entire face. Only his eyes were some- what visible. Benares, on the other hand, had a smirk on his face. And because his hair was so short, it didn't cover his face like his master's hair. Neko-chan stood on the other side of Satan Mansion's grass field. She had chased them out of the house and into the giant football field that Mr. Satan had purchased years ago. This was the perfect battleground. Neko-chan had lived for hundreds of years, and had seen almost every- thing there is to see about the world. She wasn't about to just give up her immortality ...! Yet on the other hand, being a swordswoman that she is, she loved a good fight and knew that Shiva and Benares would give her one if they had to. Not to mention the fact that she liked to make deals. So she had an idea. Neko-chan (smirks): I'll tell you what ... if the two of you can beat me in a sword fight, then I'll let you use Latori-sama in your little game. But if you cannot, then I shall kill the both of you. Shiva grinned. And to think that he made a plan to trick Neko-chan! Was this all she wanted?? Hah! Benares will surely defeat her! Easily! Shiva (grins): Hahahaha ... alright, then. We accept your little challenge. Benares, do go easy on her, won't you? Hahahahaha ...! Benares smirked and cracked the knuckles on his hand. Benares (smirks): I don't need a silly sword to beat you. With that, Benares "powered up"! Red vains began to form on his face, arms, legs, and body. Then, with great speed, the Wu charged at Neko-chan! With matching speed, Neko-chan grasped her sword with both hands and dashed off at Benares! * * * Elsewhere not far away -- actually, it was across the street from Satan Mansion's front door -- were three figures standing in front of wwhat was apparently a lab door. The place was quite obviously closed for the night. However, the tallest of the three figures were unlock- ing the door. Amara (unlocking): Almost there ... Sanjiyan (annoyed): How long will it take to open up? Amara (still unlocking): Not long. Yakumo (whispers into Sanjiyan's ears): I can't believe you actually talked him into showing us all the clones he made, Sanjiyan. Sanjiyan just smirked, and continued to wait. Finally, after a few more minutes of kicking and stomping the lock with his feet, the lock gave in and Amara opened up his laboratory. He walked in, and his guests followed. Yakumo and Sanjiyan looked in awe at the giant tubes, wires, and cable TV. Parodies of human beings can be seen inside the tubes, naked and dipped in yellow-green water. They were all unconscious. Amara led the two around the lab. He introduced them to the clones and the clones to them. Amara (points at one to the left): This is Dave. Yakumo (in awe): Wow ... hi. Amara (points at one to the right): This is Shelly. Sanjiyan (also in awe): Hi. This continued on and on until Amara, Yakumo, and Sanjiyan were at the very end of the lab. And over there was a smaller sized tube filled with wires. Yakumo and Sanjiyan peeked into the tube to see the clone in it, and boy were they shocked when they did. Amara noticed this and smiled proudly. Amara (smiling): And this ...... is Little Amara. Yakumo (O_O): You ... cloned a kid version of yourself? Amara (suddenly nervous): Well ... errm ... uhhh ... Little Amara, like all the other clones, was unconscious. However, unlike the other clones, he had a white sheet daped over his tiny body. And his lab water was blue-green instead of yellow-green. Sanjiyan (hmm): Amara ... I have a question. Amara (still smiling): Fire away. Sanjiyan (points at Amara): You used to be a powerful wizard, didn't you? Amara (suddenly nervous): Umm ... what the heck are you talking about? Sanjiyan (taps at Little Amara's tube): I can sense a powerful youki in this "clone". And it's very similar to yours. If I didn't know better, I'd say this child isn't a clone at all. Actually, he's just a storage system for your youki! Am I right? Amara (face turns pale): You ... uhh ... I don't know what you're talking about! Sanjiyan (smirks): So I AM right. Hell, just the fact that the tube water is a different color gives it away! Amara (frowns): Really? Sanjiyan (nods): Yeah. Amara (sighs): Well ... I guess you got me then. Yes, it's true that I, Amara, used to be a very powerful wizard 300 years ago! Yakumo (scratches head): 300 years ago? Isn't that around the time when Shiva became Kaiyanwang? Sanjiyan (folds arms): Yeah. And if I remember correctly, you stopped being a wizard 300 years ago that day. Mind telling the readers why? Yakumo (corrects Sanjiyan): Readers? Don't you mean us? Mr. Kaiyanwang (kicks Yakumo): Shhhh! Amara (sighs): Yes, yes, I guess then I shall reveal everything! Yakumo and Sanjiyan (as well as the rest of you) pull out chairs and sat around Amara. They circled him as he began to speak in a soothing, wise old voice ... *FLASHBACK ... to the end of chapter 9!* A few days earlier, Ushasu had approached Amara's lab and asked the golf player to clone her a baby. She even gave him a fresh egg to start. A couple of days later, she went back to the lab to check on the status of her child ... only to find a full grown male teenager in a lifesized test tube. This obviously didn't sat well with Ushasu ... Ushasu (looks): Is that my son? Amara (nods): Yes, ma'am. Ushasu (glares at Amara =_=;;): I thought I said I wanted a baby. Amara (^_^;;): Well, uhhm, it's not my fault. The sperm from the 4 armed guy was already matured, so the baby grew rapidly. I'm sorry. Ushasu (=_=;;): Argh. Whatever, it doesn't matter. What matters now is that I have beaten Latori by being the first to have a child!! Muhahahahahahaha!! Amara (O_o;;;): ........ Ushasu continued to laugh triumphantly for a few more minutes, then finally calms down. She then looked back up at her test tube teenager. Ushasu (smirks): So anywho ... what do you think we should name this baby? I'd say Rudo is the perfect name, Amara. Amara (rubs chin): Actually, I've already named him. Ushasu (shocked): WHAT!?!? Amara (nervous chuckle): Heh heh ... well, I named him Shiva. I think he likes that name. Ushasu (O_O): You ... you ... you ... Losing her ability to finish the previous sentence, the Sanjiyan Goddess's eyes began to glow bright red, and her nails grew 3x their oridinary size. She slowly walked towards Amara, threatening his safety with every step. Amara moved back step by step until he backed into a wall. His eyes bugged out as Ushasu stalked his being. Amara (glups): S-stay back ...! Ushasu (spoke in a demonic voice): Why you! How dare you name my child without my knowing!? Now you must pay!! Amara (freaked out): Ackkk! Just then, Ushasu's third eye opened and a red beam of light emitted from her eyeball! Like a flashlight! The light expanded and covered Amara's entire being! At the same time, a small container with blue-green water slowly appeared next to Amara. After a couple of minutes, Ushasu's third eye shut off and she returned to normal. But the container was still there, and -- to the shock of Amara -- a mini-version of himself can be seen inside! Amara (looks): Wha ... what the hey? Ushasu (now normal looking): Take that! *END FLASHBACK* Amara (sighs): The next day, I realized that she had sealed off my magic powers when I couldn't make a hole-in-one during golf. I later realized that my powers had been locked inside mini-me when I, too, noticed that the water was blue-green instead of yellow-green. * * * END OF CHAPTER 13
