"OF COURSE a human can be made Sanjiyan by the Humanity Ritual!!!" Chapter Eight: Radio: Thank you very mucho, Mr. Roboto, for helping me escape when I needed to! Thank you! I wanna thank you! Please, thank you! It's been a few days ever since the incident happened. What incident, some of you may ask? Well, you know, THE incident. The INCIDENT. You know, that very INCIDENT that keeps making me emphasize it. THE INCIDENT that makes me keep typing that one or two words in caps. ThE vErY iNcIdEnT that just made me use alternative caps. Right, THAT incident. Anywho, the excitment went down after a few days, and Youko, being Haan Hazrat's new Wu, was now training under Yakumo and Benares to become the best Wu she can be. Yes, you read right; she's training under Yakumo AND Benares. How did that happen, you ask? Well, a lot of things can happen in a few days. After a mutual understanding, Benares agreed to teach Youko how to properly use Beast Magic while Yakumo gave her the actual beasts. Of course, sooner or later Benny and Shiva WILL try to get Pai and Haan to participate in the Humanity Ritual, but that ain't happening today. Today we will focus on Youko's training! The gang were in the same park that they were in during the INciDENT. Yakumo, Benares, and Youko trained while their respective masters relaxed under the warm sun of Spring. Yes, it is Spring now. Forget about all the Christmas stuff from the previous chapters for now. Haan had a white t-shirt, blue jeans, and black sunglasses on, while Pai worn a blue dress that she normally wouldn't wear. Shiva was in a yellow sweatshirt and pants. He even brought a radio to listen to quality music! Focusing back to the three Wu's, Yakumo had a green t-shirt and brown pants. Benares docked an orange shirt with a yellow happy face on it, as well as his usual blue jeans. Youko had her "kendo trainer" outfit on (the same uniform from school), which attracted quite a bit of male eyes. Within these few days, Youko had already learned how to use Tou-Chao, Kuan-Yaa, Shou-Rin! Quite amazing, yes. And not only that, she had already mastered all of the beasts and were using them like pros! A pro like Benares! All of that in a few days! Youko (confident): Yakumo-san, Benares-sama, I have already mastered these three beasts. I'd love to master more. Yakumo (^_^;;): Ayanokouji, maybe you should slow down! You're gonna overload yourself with beasts! Am I right, Benares? Benares (shrugs): No, it doesn't hurt to learn more. Yakumo (O_O;;): ..huh? Youko (nods): See? Benares-sama thinks it's safe to learn some more. Yakumo (^~^;;): Yeah, but maybe you should just slow down a bit... Haan (yelling from a few feet away): Let her learn more, you moron! Yakumo (sighs): Oh, boy... Benares (folds his arms): Houasyou, in order to master more beasts, you'll have to find the individual beasts first. They -- Youko (nods): Yes, I know that -- Benares (continues): ...must be first hatched from beast eggs using blood. The eggs can be found -- Youko (interrupts): Benares-sama, I know -- Benares (continues): ...in various places such as Konron locations, Holy Land, Tibet -- Youko (argh): I KNOW! Benares (pauses for a second, then resumes): Uh... very well, then. We shall travel to different destinations to find the beast eggs. One of these places is in a nearby city known as "Satan City". Youko (nods): Satan City? Benares (nods): Yes. That is a city where beasts roam free without harm. Hundreds of different species of beasts can be found and captured there. For some reason, in that city -- and that city only -- humans and beasts sseem to get along quite well. Some of them are even pets and friends to the humans! It is a mystery why that is so. Yakumo (thinking): Now why does that sound familiar? Youko (nods): Alright, it's settled, then. Tomorrow, the three of us will travel to Satan City to find more beasts. First thing in the morning! Yakumo (scratches head): Uh, yeah, sure, but wait a second... something's wrong with the picture here. If this "Satan City" is just roaming with beasts, then the beasts must have been hatched from their eggs first, right? Haan (from a few feet away): Yes, Fujii. Here's a god star for your *brilliant* observational skills! Moron! Yakumo (^^;;) ...anyway, Benares, since these eggs can only be hatched with someone's blood, then that means someone must have already hatched them. Now, ideally speaking, the beasts belong to whomever hatched them, right? So if we were to just go and capture them for ourselves, wouldn't that pratically be stealing? Benares (nervous): Uhhmm... I never said that beasts hatched from eggs! Not at all! Yakumo (suspicious): Well, in that case, I'm not going. Youko (exclaims): What?! Benares (shrugs): Suit yourself. Youko (pleading): Yakumo-san, you have to go! You're one of my teachers! It wouldn't be the same without you! Yakumo (sweatdrops): Actually, I WANT to go, Ayanokouji! But Mr. K isn't letting me. He said he wanted me to take a hiatus for this chapter... Youko (still pleading): But you've already appeared in this chapter! Suddenly, Mr. Kaiyanwang popped up from seemingly nowhere. Mr. Kai (manical voice): No he hasn't! Wuhahahahahaha! At that moment, with the help of the "delete" key, that crazy maniac Mr. K erased Yakumo from this chapter of "What If: [Humanity Ritual]"! The poor Wu slowly and painfully faded until there was not a trace of him left. With his task done, Mr. Kaiyanwang disappeared just as quickly as he had come. Youko (...): Uhh... * * * The next morning, Youko and Benares set off to Satan City. When they got there, Youko was quite surprised to find the city to be quite.. normal. Especially considering the implication the name itself gives off. But, there were no devil worshippers to be found -- the city appeared as normal as it can be. Youko (looks around): Well, this is odd. Benares (?): What were you expecting? The duo entered the city, and Youko took note of the city sign before them. Suddenly, everything made sense. Youko (nods): I see. The city is *named* after a person named Mr. Satan, whose name probably isn't even pronounced the way it sounds! Whew. And just as Benares had described the day before, there were lots of different beasts at every corner of the city. Tou-Chao ran amonk the underground, yet miracously unharming anyone. Kuan-Yaa surfed around the air like a bunch of mini-rainbows, followed by a school of Kuu-Yon floating in the sky. The buildings were crawling with Shou-Rin everywhere, and Rei-Syou crawled among the city in masses. Ah, it was dream city for a rookie Wu like Youko Ayanokouji. Youko (looks around): So what will we catch today, Benares-sama? Benares (shrugs): I dunno. See anything here that you don't have? Youko (points at Rei-Syou and Kuu-Yon): I don't have those! Benares (shrugs again): Then have fun. Youko (nods): Okay! Youko decided that she wanted a Kuu-Yon first, so she went after one in the sky. She raised one hand in the air and pointed at a random breed. Youko (pointing): By the name of Youko Ayanokouji, please come on out! Kuan-Yaa! The dragon-fang of light shot out of her palm and acended at the Kuu-Yon. Youko twirled her wrist around in a circular motion, causing the Kuan-Yaa to completely surround the chosen Kuu-Yon. The Kuu-Yon was shocked upon finding out that it was in immediate danger. Its eyes and mouth widen with fear, and because of that, magic-eating dust spewed out from its gaping mouth. The Kuan-Yaa disappeared as a result. Benares folded his arms and tsk-tsked while Youko watched in dismay. How was she going to catch this beast now?! It was then that an idea came to her. Youko had heard somewhere that Kuu-Yon likes to eat things. So what if she used food to lure that Kuu-Yon to her?? Yep, that definitely sounded like a good idea. Youko placed one hand on the ground, and, in true Benares fashion, summoned a plate of food! The plate and food materialized and sat next to her hand. Youko then stood up and whistled at the Kuu-Yon. Youko (whistles): Come and get it! The Kuu-Yon could not resist a meal and swooped down to the ground below. The very second that it came near Youko, she seized this opportunity and pulled out a large stamper from out of nowhere. Quickly, she stamped a giant "Y" on the Kuu-Yon's forehead, which meant that it now belongs to her. Youko (flashes victory sign): Yes! One down, one to go... * * * Meanwhile, sitting in Culture Shock were Haan, Sanjiyan, and Shiva. Ever since Haan had became a Wu, it seems that the two were brought closer together. Actually, it was Sanjiyan that had became closer to Haan -- and Haan was just as surprised as we were. You'll hear no complains from him, though. Haan (sips water): Hey, I wonder what kind of Sanjiyan Unkara powers I have? Sanjiyan (sips beer): No idea. Say, shouldn't you be developing your other personality right about now? That last question caused Haan to spit out his water... right at Shiva, who sat across from him. Shiva (!): What the f--? Haan (disturbed): S-Sanjiyan, what? What do you mean "my other personality"?! Sanjiyan (shrugs): Like Pai and I. Didn't you know that the Sanjiyan Unkara race is prone to have duel personalities?? Haan (still disturbed): W-what?! No! What the hell are you talking about?! Sanjiyan (nods): Duel personalities are quite common in a Sanjiyan Unkara. One side controls beauty and passion, while the other controls brains and power. Haan (exclaims): Wait a minute! If that's so, then... Sanjiyan (confused): Huh? What is it? Haan (nods): I've got it! Maybe I haven't developed a second personality because I don't have any sort of power yet! I've got it! No power = no #2 personality! Shiva (whispers to himself as he wiped his face): ...in your case, no brains = no second personality. * * * Back to Benares and Youko in Satan City, the two were now determined to capture one Rei-Syou. Just like before, Benares had stood aside to allow Youko to capture one all by herself. She placed herself before a pack of electric Rei-Syou. Youko (thinking): Hmm... Rei-Syou (hisses): Hisssssssssssss... Suddenly, Youko jumped back and summoned a Tou-Chao! She directed the claw beasts to knock at least a dozen off the ground and into the air. They did, and Youko seized the opportunity by summoning a Kuan-Yaa at a particular one in the air. The Kuan-Yaa smacked the Rei-Syou and caused a rather loud "Ziiiiiiiiippppp!" sound effect. The Rei-Syou dropped to the ground like a fly, and Youko stamped her large "Y" on the snake's forehead. Yep, she had just successfully captured another beast magic. Benares folded her arms and nodded at Youko with approval. He had to admit that even he was impressed by what he had just seen. Benares (nodding): Not bad at all, Houasyou. Suddenly, the Rei-Syou that Youko had just captured appeared without being summoned! It crawled at Youko's side and hugged her legs, with its eyes shaped as hearts. What the hell? Youko (O_O;;): Uhhhhhmmm... Benares-sama?! What's it doing?! Benares (scratches head; O_o;;): Houasyou... I think it likes you. Youko (shocked): What?! You're kidding, right?! Benares (folds arms): Nope. Look at the way it's acting. Youko looked down at the Rei-Syou and found that it had wrapped itself around her left leg. Surprisingly, the beast didn't shock her. It remained there with the same heart-shaped eyes. Youko (still shocked): B-Benares-sama, this can't be happening! I mean, the beast magic are generally weapons, and weapons don't fall in love! Benares-sama! Benares (shrugs): Well, obviously we have an exception. So, when's the big wedding day? That crack resulted in Benares getting his face pummeled by Youko's big wooden mallet. Well, it ain't his fault you're part snake, Youko-chan! * * * END OF CHAPTER 8
