Sword of the Gods: Part two

I AM SOOO SORRY! The origenal one got cut off! Well, here's the next part, the end part.

"SHIELD ARROW!" HE YELLED AND FIRED AN ORANGE ARROW AT IT.
ALMOST INSTANTLY A BARRIER WENT UP AROUND KI, HER FRIENDS, AND THE SIX MEN.
"YEAH WE'RE FINE NOW I GUESS." KI REPLIED.
THE FIRST MAN STEPPED UP TO HER AND KNELT DOWN, GRABBING HER HAND AND BOWING HIS HEAD ON IT. "THAT IS GOOD TO HEAR, MY DEAR." HE SAID.
ANOTHER CAME OVER AND HIT HIM ON THE HEAD AND YELLED, "KNOCK IT OFF!"
"SORRY FOR OUR BROTHER'S ACTIONS." ANOTHER MAN SAID WITH A POLITE BOW.
"N-NO, IT'S ALRIGHT." KI SAID KINDLY.
"LET ME FINISH THESE WOLVES OFF." THE SIXTH MAN SAID AS HE DREW HIS BOW WITH A GREEN ARROW. "BLIND ARROW!"
THE GREEN ARROW FLEW STRAIGHT THREW THE BARRIER AND COMPLETELY DESTROYED ALL THE WOLVES.
"SO, TELL ME, WHO ARE YOU?" AINJU ASKED.
"OH, PARDON US, WE ARE THE PROUD BROTHERS OF THE FLETCHER CLAN." ONE OF THEM SAID.
"SHALL WE TAKE A SEAT AND INTRODUCE OURSELVES?" ONE ASKED.
SO ALL ELEVEN OF THEM SAT DOWN AND THE MEN BEGAN.
"MY NAME IS LARRY. I AM THE FLIRT OF THE CLAN. I AM TWENTY-THREE YEARS OLD. I USE THE LIGHT ARROWS." SAID THE ONE WHO WAS FLIRTING WITH KI.
"I-I'M BOB. I'M THE SHY ONE. I'M TWENTY-TWO. I USE THE BLOOD ARROWS." ANOTHER SAID.
"MY NAME IS TOM. I AM THE GENTLEMAN IN THE CLAN." STATED THE ONE WHO HAD PULLED LARRY AWAY FROM KI.
"I'M FRED. I AM TWENTY-ONE. I'M THE OLDER TWIN OF TOM. I'M AGGRESIVE. I USE THE SHIELD ARROWS." GRUMBLED THE MAN WHO HAD MADE THE BARRIER.
"I'M GEORGE. I'M TWENTY. I'M DARING. I USE THE BLIND ARROWS." SPOKE THE MAN WHO HAD SLAYED THE REST OF THE WOLVES.
"I'M CHUCK. I'M TWENTY-FOUR. I'M BORED. I USE THE LAUNCH ARROWS." SAID THE LAST MAN.
"MY NAME IS KI. I AM SIXTEEN." KI SAID.
"I'M AINJU. I AM TWENTY AND KI'S BOYFRIEND." AINJU SAID.
"I AM MIKARU. I AM FIFTY TWO THOUSAND YEARS OLD, OR EIGHTEEN. I AM A DEMON-ELF." MIKARU STATED.
"MY NAME IS KNIKIE! I AM MIKARU-CHAN'S LITTLE SISTER. I AM ALSO A DEMON-ELF. I AM FIVE-THOUSAND YEARS OLD, OR, TEN." KNIKIE CRIED.
"I AM NAMED COJIROAN. I AM A FIFTY ONE THOUSAND YEAR OLD ROOSTER-DEMON MINION." COJIROAN STATED.
"QUITE AN INTERESTING GROUP." TOM SAID WITH A POLITE SMILE.
"SHUT UP! I CAN'T BELEIVE YOU ARE MY TWIN!" FRED YELLED.
"NOW NOW DEAR TOM, LADY KI HAS A FINE GROUP." LARRY SAID.
"BROTHER, BE QUIET." CHUCK SIGHED.
"WH-WHAT LARRY-KUN IS TRYING TO SAY IS THAT YOU ARE WELCOME TO STAY WITH US FOR THE NIGHT." BOB SAID SHYLY.
"I THINK ONE COULD INTERPRET IT LIKE THAT." GEORGE AGREED.
"THANK YOU VERY MUCH." KI SAID.
"KI-SAMA IS STAYING WITH US?" LARRY ASKED, FIGHTING WITH TOM.
"YES! AND YOU ARE TO STAY AWAY FROM KI-SAMA AND KNIKIE-SAN!" FRED YELLED.
"KNIKIE-CHAN." KNIKIE CORRECTED. "'SAN' MAKES ME FEEL OLD."
SO, WITH THIS THE ELEVEN OF THEM MADE THEIR WAY THROUGH THE FOREST AND REACHED THE TOWN OF BLUECOAL. ONCE THERE, THE GROUP MADE THEIR WAY TO THE FLETCHER'S HOUSE.

"WELL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HOSPITALLITY." KI SAID WITH A POLITE SMILE IN THE MORNING.
"OF COURSE." TOM SAID WITH A BOW.
"I'LL BE LONELY WITHOUT SUCH A BEAUTIFUL MAIDDEN AROUND." LARRY SAID AS HE KNELT DOWN WITH KI'S HAND IN HIS.
"PLEASE VISIT US AGAIN." FRED SAID AS HE PULLED LARRY AWAY FROM KI.
"NEXT TIME, I'D LIKE TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO IN A BATTLE AGAINST SUCH A POWERFUL DEMON." GEORGE STATED WITH A GRIN.
"SEE YA." CHUCK SIGHED.
"G-GOODBYE." BOB STUTTERED SHYLY.
"GOODBYE." KI SAID AS HER GROUP LEFT THE FLETCHER CLAN, LARRY STILL FIGHTING WITH FRED.

CHAPTER XIV
A SHORT BREAK
"OUR DESTINATION IS JUST AHEAD." MIKARU SIGHED HAPPILY.
"ISN'T THAT GREAT? THAT PILLAR OF LIGHT MARKS OUR TARGET." KI SAID.
"THANK GOODNESS. IT TOOK US LONG ENOUGH." AINJU SAID.
"GOODNESS? THIS GROUP IS MAINLY DEMONS!" KNIKIE CRIED.
"KNIKIE-CHAN HAS A POINT." COJIROAN SAID.
"SHUT UP!" AINJU CRIED.
THE GROUP WAS ALMOST AT INDAGOL. THEIR JOURNEY, ALMOST OVER, BUT THEY STILL HAD A SHORT WAYS TO GO. IT WAS ALMOST NIGHTIME AND THEY DECIDED TO CAMP.
"IT HAS BEEN QUITE AWHILE HASN'T IT KI-SAN?" MIKARU ASKED.
"YES IT HAS." KI AGREED.
"YOU TWO HAVE REALLY COME A LONG WAY HUH?" KNIKIE ASKED.
"YEP, ALL THE WAY FROM RAINBOWDIA." KI SAID.
"WELL, I'VE COME FARTHER, BUT RAINBOWDIA WAS PRETTY MUCH THE START." MIKARU STATED.
"WOW, THAT MUCH DISTANCE. PRETTY IMPRESSIVE." COJIROAN STATED.
"I'VE BEEN IN THIS GROUP SINCE BEFORE REDRIA." AINJU STATED.
"YES YOU HAVE. AND YOU'VE BEEN A GOOD HELP." KI SAID KINDLY.
"YEAH RIGHT, MORE LIKE A PEST." MIKARU WHISPERED AND KNIKIE LAUGHED.
"WHAT WAS THAT FILTH!?" AINJU CRIED AS HE JUMPED UP.
"STARTING THIS AGAIN?" MIKARU ASKED AND CALMLY STOOD UP. "YOU SHOULD HAVE LEARNED BY NOW THAT YOU CAN'T BEAT ME."
"SHUT UP!" AINJU CRIED AND LUNGED AT MIKARU.
"GO BIG BROTHER! DESTROY EVIL BIG BROTHER!" KNIKIE CHEERED AS A FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD.
"KNIKIE-CHAN, Y'KNOW, YOU LOOK QUITE BEAUTIFUL LIKE THAT. YOU SHOULD STAY FIFTEEN YEARS OLD." KI STATED.
"REALLY?" KNIKIE ASKED.
"YEAH. IF I WASN'T ENGAGED TO JACK," COJIROAN SHIVERED AT JACK'S NAME, "I WOULD SERIOUSELY BE THINKING ABOUT MARRYING YOU."
"COOL! MAYBE I WILL STAY THIS AGE." KNIKIE SAID WITH A SMILE.
"DAMN FILTH!" AINJU CRIED, LUNGING AT MIKARU.
"WHY THANK YOU." MIKARU STATED AND RAMMED HIS KNEE INTO AINJU'S GUT.
AS AINJU FELL, MIKARU SAT DOWN AGAIN.
"WELL, I'M GOING TO SLEEP." COJIROAN SAID AND LAYED DOWN.
"ME TOO." KNIKIE SAID AND LAYED DOWN BESIDE COJIROAN.
"GOOD IDEA." KI AGREED AND LAYED DOWN TOO.
"I'LL KEEP WATCH." MIKARU STATED AS AINJU BEGAN SNORING.

IN THE MORNING, THE GROUP AWAKENED, ATE, AND WENT ON THEIR WAY.

CHAPTER XV
SWORD OF THE GODS
THE GROUP HAD MADE IT TO THE DEAD KINGDOM INDAGOL. THEY WERE WALKING DOWN A STONE PATH. AINJU HAD HIS ARM AROUND KI. MIKARU HAD KNIKIE, WHO HAD DECIED TO REMAIN FIFTEEN, ON HIS BACK. COJIROAN WAS LOOKING AROUND.
"WE ARE FINALLY HERE." AINJU SIGHED AND TRIED TO KISS KI.
KI PUSHED HIM AWAY AND KEPT GOING.
"KI, WHY WON'T YOU EVER LET ME KISS YOU?" AINJU ASKED.
"I'VE TOLD YOU BEFORE, I'M FOLLOWING IN MY MOTHER'S FOOTSTEPS." KI REPLIED.
"WHAT WOULD THAT BE, IF I MAY ASK." COJIROAN ASKED.
"SHE SAID THAT WHEN SHE WAS VERY YOUNG, SHE HAD LEARNED THAT THERE WERE A LOT OF BAD PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. THAT SOME WOULD DO UNTHINKALBE THINGS TO A YOUNG WOMAN. SO SHE MADE A VOW. 'THE FIRST MAN I KISS SHALL BE THE ONE I MARRY.' SHE NEVER NEEDED TO WORRY THOUGH, THE ONLY MAN WHO EVER TRIED TO KISS HER WAS MY FATHER. BUT I WISH TO DO AS SHE DID, SO I MADE THE SAME VOW TO MYSELF." KI EXPLAINDED.
"...WHY DOES THAT SOUND SO FAMILIER? THOSE WORDS..." MIKARU WHISPERED.
"YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT CHI-CHAN AREN'T YOU?" KNIKIE ASKED.
"YEAH. KI-SAN'S WORD ARE SO MUCH LIKE HERS." MIKARU REPLIED.
"WHOA..." AINJU SAID UNBELIEVING.
MIKARU, KNIKIE, KI, AND COJIROAN LOOKED AHEAD. WHAT STOOD BEFORE THEM WAS AN AMAZING SIGHT.
"THE SWORD OF THE GODS..." MIKARU WHISPERED.
IT WAS TRUELY BEAUTIFUL. THE HILT WAS MADE OF GOLD AND THE BLADE OF A PRETTIER STEEL THAN EVEN KNIKIE'S MACE. ITS HILT FACED UPWARDS, TOWARDS THE HEAVENS. THE BLADE SANK INTO THE DARK EARTH. IT HAD A POWERFUL AURA. A FRIGHTENINGLY, WONDERFUL, POWERFUL AURA. AROUND IT WAS A FLICKERING BARRIER. FOUR GOLDEN ROCKS SAT AGAINST THIS BARRIER. TWO WERE SHATTERED AND THE OTHER TWO WERE VERY POOR LOOKING, AS IF THEY WOULD CRUMBLE IF THEY WERE KICKED.
"THOSE ROCKS, THEY'RE REINFORCING THE BARRIER." KI STATED. "THE BARRIER'S LOST ITS POWER SUPPLY. IT IS DYING."
"CHI-CHAN...I'M HERE AT LAST..." MIKARU STATED SOFTLY AS TEARS CAME TO HIS EYES.
"I'VE BEEN MEANING TO ASK, WHAT WAS YOUR PURPOSE IN COMING HERE?" COJIROAN ASKED.
MIKARU CLOSED HIS EYES AND SUMMONED UP HIS BLACK, FIREY AURA. IT GATHERED AT HIS SHOULDERBLADES TO FORM TWO GREAT FORMS. A TINT OF GOLD FLICKERED AND THE AURA EXPLODED INTO THE GOLDEN DEMONS' WINGS. THEY SPREAD AND SHIMMERED IN THE NIGHT'S AIR.
"DAMN..." COJIROAN WHISPERED.
"I CAME TO REMOVE THE SWORD SO THAT I COULD GET RID OF THESE CURSED WINGS." MIKARU STATED.
COJIROAN STARED AND BEGAN TO CRY. "FINALLY, SOME ONE HAS STEPPED FORTH TO GET RID OF THIS HORRID WORLD..." HE SAID HAPPILY.
MIKARU TOOK A STEP TOWARDS THE SWORD AND STOPPED AT THE SOUND OF A SWORD BINGING DRAWN BEHIND HIM. HE TURNED AROUND TO FIND AINJU WITH HIS SWORD POINTED AT HIM.
"I SAID BACK WHEN WE MET THAT I WAS GOING TO KILL YOU." AINJU SAID.
"I CAN'T GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT Y'KNOW. THESE WINGS WON'T LET ME." MIKARU STATED.
"I KNOW."
"HOLD IT AINJU-KUN." KI SAID SUDDENLY, SOUNDING RATHER ODD.
AINJU TURNED AROUND TO FIND KI RADIATING A WHITE AURA.
"I CANNOT LET YOU KILL MIKARU-CHAN." SHE SAID.
"K-KI?" AINJU ASKED.
"YOU IDIOT. YOU ALL ARE BLIND..." SHE REPLIED.
"I KNOW THAT VOICE..." COJIROAN STATED.
"CH-CHI-CHAN?" MIKARU STUTTERED UNBELIEVING.
"IT TOOK YOU THIS LONG TO FIGURE IT OUT?" KI, ER, CHI TEASED.
"I-I DON'T GET IT! YOU DIED A LONG TIME AGO!" AINJU CRIED.
"SINCE WHEN HAVE ANGELS DIED AT YOUNGER AGES THAN DEMONS?" CHI ASKED, SLIGHTLY OFFENED.
SUDDENLY, THE SWORD PULSED AND ITS AURA GREW. THE BARRIER GLOWED BRIGHTLY AND THE REINFORCMENT ROCKS REPAIRED THEMSELVES.
"THE SWORD'S GAURDIAN HAS RETURNED!" KNIKIE CRIED HAPPILY.
"AINJU-KUN, I SUGGEST YOU DROP YOUR WEAPON." CHI SAID WITH AN EVIL GRIN.
AINJU HESITATED, BUT OBEYED. CHI WALKED OVER TO THE SWORD AND THE BARRIER DROPPED.
"MIKARU-CHAN, COME HERE PLEASE." SHE ASKED.
MIKARU SLOWLY WALKED UP TO CHI AND STOOD IN FRONT OF HER.
"DO YOU TRUELY WISH TO REMOVE THIS SWORD? I WILL NOT STOP YOU. BUT, I BELIEVE I KNOW I A WAY TO GET RID OF YOUR CURSE WITHOUT REMOVING IT." CHI STATED.
"WHAT?" MIKARU ASKED.
TURNING TO THE SWORD, CHI ASKED, "MY BELOVED FRIEND, I HAVE A WISH. THE ONE WHO STANDS BESIDE ME HAS A TERRIBLE CURSE, THE GOLDEN DEMONS' WINGS. I WISH, COULD YOU CURE HIM FOR ME?"
THE SWORD VIBRATED.
"WHAT!? WHY NOT?" CHI CRIED, STARTLED.
ONCE AGAIN, THE SWORD VIBRATED.
"I UNDERSTAND... IF THAT IS HOW THIS CURSE IS TO BE CURED." CHI SAID SOFTLY.
"WHAT DID IT SAY?" COJIROAN ASKED.
"IT SAID...'IF YOU REALLY WANT TO REMOVE THE CURSE, I'M SORRY, BUT I CANNOT FUFILL THIS WISH. BUT...THERE IS A WAY...THE KISS OF AND ANGEL WHO TRUELY LOVES THE CURSED BEING CAN CURE THEM...' " CHI REPLIED.
"WHAT!?" AINJU CRIED. "WHERE ARE WE GOING TO FIND AN ANGEL WHO LOVES THIS FILTH!?"
CHI GLARED AT HIM AND LEPT OVER TO HIM. SHE LOOKED UP INTO HIS EYES AND SMACKED HIM ROUGHLY.
"I'VE HAD ENOUGH OUT OF YOU!" SHE CRIED ANGERLY. "JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO IGNORENT TO BE LOVED DOESN'T MEAN MIKARU-CHAN CAN'T BE!"
WITH THIS, SHE TURNED AROUND AND RETURNED TO MIKARU'S SIDE. SHE PLACED HER HANDS ON HIS SHOULDERS AND LOOKED DOWN AT HIM.
"MIKARU-CHAN, LOOK AT ME." SHE SAID.
MIKARU, WHO WAS A DARK GREY, OBEYED. CHI'S EYES WERE SOFT AND GENTLE.
"MIKARU-CHAN, YOU HEARD WHAT I SAID ABOUT WHO I WILL MARRY. WELL, I'VE DECIDED..." SHE SAID SOFTLY.
SHE CLOSED HER EYES AND LEANED OVER SLIGHTLY.
"I LOVE YOU MIKARU-CHAN." SHE SAID AND KISSED HIM GENTLY.
MIKARU TURNED WHITE BUT CLOSED HIS EYES. KNIKIE SMILED AS HER BROTHER'S WINGS VANISHED INTO THE LIGHT OF THE HEAVENS. AINJU STARED IN DISBELIEF AND DROPPED TO HIS KNEES. COJIROAN LOOKED AT AINJU'S HURT FACE AND GRINNED.
WHEN CHI LET MIKARU GO, HE PASSED OUT FROM THE NEW SLACK OF HIS SEVERED BONDS.
"SO, CHI-CHAN, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH HIM?" KNIKIE ASKED, POINTING AT AINJU.
"YOU CAN KEEP HIM." CHI ANSWERED.
"SCORE!" KNIKIE CRIED AND HUGGED AINJU. "I'VE GOT ME A FIANCE!"
"W-WAIT! WHAT-" AINJU BEGAN BUT KNIKIE CUT HIM OFF WITH A KISS THAT TURNED HIM RED.
"I'M GLAD YOU FOUR ARE HAPPY." COJIROAN SIGHED, "I STILL HAVE TO RETURN TO JACK."
"I MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP YOU." CHI STATED AND TURNED TO THE SWORD. "GODS WHO LIE ABOVE, I'D LIKE YOU TO AID ME WITH THE GRANTING OF A WISH. THE ROOSTER BEHIND ME HAS A LOVER. BUT, THIS LOVER IS A BLACK RAM. I ASK OF YOU, DO SOMETHING TO HELP THIS ROOSTER."
THE SWORD VIBRATED SLIGHTLY.
"THANK YOU MY FRIEND." CHI SAID.
"WELL?" COJIROAN ASKED.
"THE GODS WILL HELP." CHI STATED.
COJIROAN SIGHED HAPPILY.

MIKARU OPENED HIS EYES AND LOOKED AROUND HIM. HE WAS IN AN INN ROOM. AINJU, KNIKIE, COJIROAN, CHI, AND SOME OTHER WOMAN SAT NEARBY.
"I SEE YOU ARE AWAKE." KNIKIE SAID.
"Y-YEAH. WHERE AM I?" MIKARU ASKED, SITTING UP.
"PURPLUM." THE WOMAN SAID.
"WHO ARE YOU?" MIKARU ASKED.
"I AM KI, CHI-CHAN'S MOTHER. I WAS ILL UNTIL YESTERDAY WHEN THE SWORD OF THE GODS WAS REJUVINATED. CHI-CHAN BORROWED MY NAME FOR AWHILE UNTIL SHE DECIDED WHETHER OR NOT SHE STILL LOVED YOU." THE WOMAN SAID.
"WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?" MIKARU ASKED CHI.
"YOU SAID IT YOURSELF. 'IT'S BEEN FIFTY THOUSAND YEARS. A LOT CAN CHANGE IN FIFTY THOUSAND YEARS.'" CHI REPLIED.
"BIG BROTHER GUESS WHAT! AINJU IS OFFICIALLY MY FIANCE!" KNIKIE CRIED HAPPILY AND KISSED AINJU, MAKING HIM BLUSH.
"DAMN...SO ALL'S COOL I SUPPOSE?" MIKARU ASKED.
"YEP. WELL, I NEED TO GET BACK TO GREENZA. JACK'S PROBABLY WAITING." COJIROAN SAID.
"OF COARSE. TAKE CARE MY FRIEND." CHI SAID WITH A KISS ON HIS FOREHEAD, MAKING HIM BLUSH AS HE LEFT.
"WE SHALL MEET AGAIN." HE SAID.

BACK IN GREENZA, IT WAS THE MORNING AFTER CHI AND HER FRIENDS ARRIVED AT INDAGOL. JACK AWAKENED AND STRETCHED. HE CLIMBED OUT OF BED. HE WALKED OVER TO HIS BATHROOM AND LOOKED INTO THE MIRROR.
"HOLY CRAP!"

THE END!
"I'M A GIRL!"
