"OF COURSE a human can be made Sanjiyan by the Humanity Ritual!!!" Chapter Twenty Two: Radio: Something I just might regret, something you will not forget! Maybe I should throw away everything I've learned today! ... Clouds began to form ominously on the night sky, covering the bright stars and the moon. A rather loud thunderclasp can be heard, signaling rain was on the way. On the rooftop of Satan Mansion stood Kaiyanwang, Sanjiyan, and Sanjihaan. They surrounded the Ningen no Zou, which sat in the center. Rain slowly began to pour, hitting each Sanjiyan Unkara on the face. Kaiyanwang looked up into the sky and at the rain. Perfect. This was the perfect weather for him to be regaining his powers! He looked at Sanjiyan, who still had the hypnotized look on her face, and then at Sanjihaan, of whom reflected the same desire for power on his face. Well, he'll take care of that soon. Sanjihaan (impatient): Come on! Get on with the ceremony already! I want my power and I want it now! Kaiyanwang (annoyed): FOOL! Be quiet while the ceremony is performing! Now, how did Benares activate the Ningen no Zou? Let's see ... ah, yes! Orange, apple, watermelon! The left side of the Ningen no Zou glowed brightly in according to the password code. Kaiyanwang smirked from this action. Sanjihaan watched in wonder. Sanjiyan ... was still hypnotized. Kaiyanwang (chants): And then, lemon, lime, banana! Immediately, the right side of the Ningen lit up. Kaiyanwang prepared to chant the final spells. In total movie fashion, he raised both of his arms into the air and laughed evilly just before he made the final chant. Kaiyanwang (chants): Cherry! Strawberry! Grapefruit! The center of the Ningen no Zou glowed an awesome color. Kaiyanwang stood on one side of the statue, and Sanjiyan did the same. Sanjihaan saw them and walked to the empty side of the statue. Sweatbeads poured from his head. After this ... after this, HE will be the new Kaiyanwang. All the men in the Universe will fear him, and all the women will belong to him! Muahahahahaha! It was power at its best! Kaiyanwang (turns to Sanjihaan): So! Are you ready? Sanjihaan (annoyed): Yeah, yeah, come on, come on! Kaiyanwang (turns to Sanjiyan): And what about you, Parvati? However, standing in position was no longer a hypnotized Sanjiyan. Kaiyanwang suddenly realized that he had accidently dropped the Yo-Yo while he was doing the chant! And what's worse -- there was a crack on the surface! With the swirl damaged, Sanjiyan snapped out of the spell and realized the situation she was in. Sanjiyan (O_O): What the hell?! Immediately, she jumped away from her position and glared at Kaiyanwang. She also noticed that the fool Sanjihaan was there, too. So! Kaiyan's got to him somehow. But no matter, Sanjiyan was confident that she could hold off Kaiyan long enough to prevent the ceremony. Kaiyanwang growled and tossed the Yo-Yo aside. Argh, he was THIS close to carrying it out, and now Parvati's going to stop him? No chance in hell! He raised his hand in mid-air and pointed two fingers at Sanjiyan. Then suddenly, jolts of lightning bolts were released from each tip and went straight for Sanjiyan! Sanjiyan raised her hand and did her trademark Sanjiyan Unkara hand gesture that extending her index and pinky fingers while folding her middle, ring, and thumb fingers. It summoned a powerful force that snapped the lightning, causing several mini explosions in the air. She smirked as her actions marked her defiance against Kaiyanwang. Meanwhile, Sanjihaan was still in position and utterly confused as to what was going on. Didn't Parvati agree to the Humanity Ritual? Why was Kaiyanwang so worked up with her interrupting the ceremony? It's not like he was gonna gain any powers. Hell, if anything, Sanjihaan should be the one angry and fighting Parvati! Come to think of it, why WASN'T Sanjihaan angry and upset? HE was the one losing out, and it was HIS wife-to-be that's messing things up. So why wasn't he annoyed at her actions? In any case, he had better do something to set Parvati straight. After all, what kind of husband would he make if he didn't discipline his wife when she deserved it?? Stepping out of position, Sanjihaan suddenly stepped in the middle of Kaiyanwang and Sanjiyan, both of whom were now physically trying to choke each other. The two paused and looked at Sanjihaan in confusion. The hell did HE want? Kaiyanwang (...): Uhhh ...? Sanjiyan (annoyed): Argh, move it! Can't you see Kaiyan and I are busy trying to kill each other?! Right then, without any warning, Sanjihaan suddenly slapped Sanjiyan across the face! This action knocked her down and away from Kaiyanwang. But it wasn't as much as the slap that knocked her down; it was mostly from the shock that Sanjihaan had the guts to do something like that. Sanjiyan's eyes widen and stared at Sanjihaan. Even Kaiyanwang did the same. Sanjiyan (shocked): Did ... did you ... did you just ... slap me??! Sanjihaan (stern glare): Of course I did. Kaiyanwang (O_O): Whoa ... now even I'M surprised ... Sanjihaan (points at Sanjiyan): You're supposed to be my future wife, so you should've shown more class and dignity as a woman. But you didn't! That's why you deserved that slap on the face. Sanjiyan (O_O): You ... you ... Sanjihaan (points at Kaiyanwang): Now pull yourself up and apologize to Kaiyanwang. Sanjiyan (O_O): You ... you ... Sanjihaan (folds arms): Go on. Sanjiyan (O_O): You ... you ... Sanjihaan (annoyed): DO IT! NOW! Sanjiyan (VERY pissed off): GRRRR, I'LL KILL YOU! Sanjihaan (confused): Eh? Instantly, Sanjiyan jumped off the ground and leaped onto Sanjihaan. She then proceeded to punch, scratch, smack, kick, stomp, and every other physical punishment in the book. In the end, Sanjihaan was in the worse shape of his life. * * * Ushasu's eyes opened as she awoke from her dream. She rubbed her eye and yawned, then took a look around the dark room. She then remembered the weird dream she just had. Hey, even though that Sanjihaan guy can be VERY annoying sometimes, even Ushasu didn't think he deserved the beating he got in the dream. The Goddess climbed off the bed and turned on the light. She then opened her bedroom door, walked out, and yawned again. She took a look at the hallway, and there was not a soul in sight. However, she could hear that there were people on the first floor. Are those kids still playing poker? Curiousity taking over, she walked over to the staircase and checked. Yep, there they were. Youko and her Sanjiyan Master, that Wu that she thought had left, and Rudo's Wu Benares were playing poker. Ushasu walked down the stairs and at the poker table. The four noticed her and paused their game. Youko waved cheerfully while Benares bowed to her presense. Yakumo and Haan on the other hand, blushed from seeing Ushasu in her somewhat revealing black gown. Benares (?): What are you doing down here, Mother-sama? Ushasu (yawns): Ohh, nothing. I couldn't sleep after Rudo woke me up, so I thought I'd take a walk. I heard something downstairs and saw you guys playing poker. Benares (bows): Ahh. I must apologize for the insomnia Master caused you. Yakumo (rubs chin): Say, Ushasu-san, since you're awake and all, why don't you take over for me? Benares (!): Eh!? Yakumo (^_^): I'm no good at this game, anyway. Ushasu (shrugs): Sure. Yakumo got off the chair, to Benares' horror. No! If Parvati's Wu were to roam around the mansion freely, surely he'll find out that Kaiyanwang-sama and the others were performing the Humanity Ritual! Just as Ushasu sat down, Benares also got up. Benares (points at Yakumo): What are you doing, kid?! I thought you were going to play all night! Yakumo (shrugs)): Yeaaahhh, I was ... but I'm all out of money. Besides, I gotta -- Benares (throws cash at Yakumo): Here, take it! Now sit back down and play! Yakumo (scratches head): Umm ... thanks, but I really can't play. I have to -- Benares (annoyed): What you have to do is sit down and play! Yakumo (^_^): But ... Benares (growls): Grrr ... sit!! Yakumo (O_o): Umm ... no. Ushasu, enjoy your game. Ushasu (smiles): Okay. With that, Yakumo hurried to the staircase and climbed up. Soon, he was out of sight. Benares' eyes widen. Oh, no! There was absolutely no reason for Parvati's Wu to be climbing up those stairs with such speed, unless ... he knew of Kaiyanwang's plans! Benares watched in disbelief. Damn it! If Parvati's Wu were to interfere the Humanity Ritual, there would be much trouble! Benares prepared to dash up those stairs and chase Yakumo, except ... he realized that he couldn't move. It appeared that something was holding him back, and he turned around to find Haan grabbing his jacket. Benares (annoyed): What is the meaning of this?! Haan (tsk-tsks): You ain't going nowhere, Benares. Not until you pay up. Benares (O_o): WHAT?! Arghh ... how much do I owe you? Haan (counts the debts): Hmm ... about $250 dollars in total. Pay up. Benares (counts his cash): $50 ... $100 ... $150 ... $200 ... arrghh, I'm short on $50. Haan (shrugs): A debt is a debt. Maybe you should play until you get back that $50 bucks. Argh ... damn that merchant! How could someone as mighty and powerful as Benares happen to owe someone that pathetic money?! It's not possible, that's what! Just then, Benares remembered that he had donated some cash to Parvati's Wu. Except ... that cash was now in the hands of Mother-sama. Benares (turns to Ushasu): Umm ... Mother-sama ... Ushasu looked at him. With all that fuss Benares made trying to keep Yakumo in the game, he made her feel unwelcomed. Benares scratched his head, and Ushasu knew what he wanted. Ushasu (smiles): You want me to give you back your money, Benares? Benares (nods): Yes, I would really appreciate it. I only need $50 dollars. Ushasu (glares): But if I remember correctly, you didn't really want me playing, did you? Benares (eep): Ummmmmmm ... Ushasu (deadly glare): And since Yakumo-san didn't want to play anymore, whatever cash you gave him is now mine. So tell me, Benares ... why should I give them back to you? Benares (O_O): But, but ... Haan (annoyed): Sit down and play until you can pay me, Benares. * * * Yakumo sighed a breath of relieve as he walked around the second floor hallway. He knew that Benares was probably up to something, so he was glad that he got out of there when he could. Now ... where was Sanjiyan? She and Shiva sure was having a hell of a long talk! As Yakumo walked around looking for his Sanjiyan Master, he noticed somebody on a chair next to a bedroom reading a manga. He walked over to the figure and recognized her as Latori's Wu. What was her name again? He never did got her name in the first place, now that he thought about it. Well, anyway, that wasn't important right now. Neko-chan looked up and saw Yakumo. Neko-chan (?): Oh, hi? Yakumo (smiles): Hi. How come you're still up? Neko-chan (shrugs): I gotta protect Latori-sama, don't I? Yakumo (nods): Ohh. But you're not sleepy? Neko-chan (shakes head): Nah. It's the Wu in me that's keeping me awake so I can protect my master. Why do you think you're still awake? Yakumo (rubs chin): Heh, I guess you have a point. What're you reading, anyway? Neko-chan (smirks): 3x3 Eyes ... Yakumo (!): Wow, what issue is that?? Neko-chan (nods): Issue 37! Wanna read it? Yakumo (nods): Sure! Neko passed the book she was reading and picked up another one. Yakumo read the book with a curious fascination. He noticed many different elements and many different characters that he had yet met. And then there was Sanjiyan ... O_O Yakumo (drools): W-w-wow ... Yuzo Takada is God ... At that point, the mansion suddenly shook! It was like a mini earthquake that lasted maybe 5 seconds at most. Yakumo and Neko looked up and found the ceiling to be shaking. The roof- top! The two nodded at each other and ran up the stairs. * * * END OF CHAPTER 22
