______________________________________________________________________

Being stuck under the large beast, Ayana had time to reflect on her life and the past. Which wasn't something she often got to do in her chaotic life. She had always wanted to be friends with others. To join a club and be accepted into it and have all the fun that a group of friends gets to enjoy. All the memories that get created during those periods of time. Those are the things she sought after the most. Though it didn’t sadden her that she hadn’t yet experienced this feeling of acceptance. She had grown use to often being on the outside, an observer, a social outcast of sorts.

All the times she had tried to join the various clubs, and all the failure and rejection that had resulted in the end. Whether it was setting the oven on fire when she attempted to join the culinary club. The time she somehow managed to not only miss hitting a baseball with a bat, only to get sent spinning out of control. The bat slipping from her fingers as it took out the water cooler, which in turn took out half of those who had come to try out for the team when she went crashing into them in a slippery ice cube and sports drink logjam. Or the time she had the bomb squad summoned to the school, after she nearly blew up the entire science clubs lab. Accidentally knocking over a set of vials with the contents mixing into an explosive concoction. Amongst the many other failed attempts that she had experienced.

Though, she didn’t feel sadness that this may be the end and she never got the chance to find her place. She found herself disappointed, here underneath this giant beast, her lungs burning from the lack of oxygen. She was disappointed that she didn’t get to try again, even if it meant being rejected again. She was never going to give up on it, nor was it going to shape her behavior or personality. But here she was, maybe at the end of the line. She could have never imagined or dreamed that this would potentially be the way she went out. Though she had to admit it would be appropriate considering her history.

She felt warm inside as she thought about her short experience here in this new and strange world. She had started to make some inroad; she had even gotten to talk with her sister and get along with her. Which often wasn’t the case as the two mixed about as well as oil and water. Even starting to make some friends with some of her other classmates. She had no real regrets, beyond not being able to help the others more. If this was too be her end, then so be it, it had been a shorter life then expected, but she had enjoyed it, nonetheless. The weight of the beast almost disappearing from her, as she remained within her thoughts, trapped beneath it.

Having not been paying too much attention at first, Yuki’s ears perked up at the sound of another person named Shizuka. A devilish little smile crossed her face as she heard that he was doing business with the Varjans. As her eyes drifted over towards Io, slowly and quietly inching her way over towards Io. Reaching her as she saddled up beside her and whispered teasingly to her “Oh? Another Shizuka, that means you still have hope Io, and even better this one sounds like a bad boy” Being quite pleased with herself in the process.

Turning her attention back to the conversation at hand now that she had gotten a bit of it out of her system. “Unorthodox huh? Just how unorthodox are we talking about here? I mean we can get pretty unorthodox around here ourselves so I could see us having some wiggle room to work with…I don’t mind giving it a go, we will just have to proceed with extra caution and prepare ourselves for anything” Adding her thoughts into the current discussion after hearing both Io and Kerry speak their own thoughts and concerns on the situation. Wondering what else the others in the group thought about it as well.

Ayana was left surprised; she had expected her head to be hurting right about now. Instead, it didn’t feel all that bad. It had felt like she had gone headfirst into a pillow that had a lot to give. Hell it was even pleasant and something she didn't really mind having again.

But now she had a far more PRESSING problem. It had been dark and hard to see before, but now she only had darkness. The weight of the beast atop of her, pressing down and her body imprinting into its soft flesh. A feeling of regret soon trickled into her mind; she had really gotten herself stuck this time. Underneath the massive beast wasn’t the best place to be, the smell of it being rather terrible. The total lack of movement not making the situation enjoyable in the slightest. Her cheek snuggly pressed into the ground as she tried to move her body. Finding that she could barely wiggle even her fingers.

But hey, it could be worse, she could have been on a rocky part of the ground. Hopefully this hulk-phant had the urge to get back up. She didn’t quite know how much oxygen she could suck into her lungs in this position. The Hulk-Phants body having her snuggly underneath it “HEYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! GET OFF YOU BRUTE!!!!” Ayana tried to shout from underneath it. However, its large mass muffled her request significantly.

Letting out a sigh as she laid there left to her thoughts and her regret. Hoping that this really wasn’t how she went out. If she had to go, she was hoping for something far more heroic and epic like she had read in her manga or seen in anime or movies. But crushed underneath a giant beast until she died from a loss of oxygen? Now that would just get her laughed her surely. For now all she could do was bid her time and hope for the best.

Yuki’s expression softened as the smoke and ships appeared on the horizon as she knew full well what it meant. Staring off into the distance, her typical smile gone and replaced with a far sterner expression as she remained silent in the moment. Her thoughts on those that had committed the heinous acts, wishing there was more they could do for them, but the current situation was a difficult one. It hurt her to see others suffering for the selfish gains of another, most of the people that paid the price being innocent bystanders.

Hearing the swordsman sigh, and Io’s response and acknowledging her nod. Yuki broke her silence. “I believe that Shizuyama has a real chance, especially if we are able to unite more Yokai with the people of this land, that is something that the enemy will lack, and its our strength to work together that will overcome the narrow-mindedness of the foe, we may be fewer in number, but we are not fewer in determination or will power” Pausing for a brief moment as she turned her gaze from the swordsman to the lich.

A small smile reappearing as a thought crossed her mind that she wanted to get out “besides, even if I haven’t had the chance to work with too many of the task members for too long, the ones I have met and worked with are all amazing, and are all really strong, so if you have any doubts, just know that no matter what, not a single one of us will give up” Her eyes shifting back towards Kazenosuke with a grin on her face. “If you ever get scared, you can always run and hide behind me, I’ll protect you for the big bad scary guysssss” leaning forward with her hands clasped behind her back teasing him a bit as she was starting to feel a bit more like herself again.

The metal bending and crumbling away in her hands as if it had been a piece of aluminum foil. The surprise not having a chance to settle in before her face impacted into the leg of the hulk-phant as the metal gave way with little to no resistance. Letting out a brief groan as she got her wits about her in short order. Shaking off the momentary pain and surprise. “Well…that could have gone better…I guess I’ll just have to do this the old fashion way….” as she resorted to wrapping her arms around the limb as tightly as she could. Her muscles tensing as a great deal of stress and tension was put on them as she tried to dig her heels into the ground.

Straining her entire body as the pressure she felt trying to hold it back was like nothing she had ever experienced before. It was as if her back would fold in half at any minute, her eyes felt like they wanted to burst from her sockets. Mustering up every bit of strength she could as her muscles were put to the ultimate test, and she was losing.

Her feet couldn’t find stable ground, and even if they did. She doubted she would be able to hold the creature back. It was far stronger than the earlier beast she had tangled it without a doubt. She knew she couldn’t tackle this one the same way as the previous one, but she didn’t know what she could do in the moment. In the dark all she could see in her immediate eyesight was the leg she was clinging too. Looking like an infant trying to hold back a tree trunk. “This isn’t going to work….I’d die from exhaustion before this thing even breaks a sweat….” Her voice strained as she muttered to herself.

The imminent threat of the beast’s jaw lowering towards her single tailed head happening completely unknown to her. As its jaw closed in about to remove her cute little head from body. Her left foot broke loose in dirt as she slid down the creature’s limb face first and onto the ground with a crash. Having lost her footing in her typical clumsy nature, not knowing that for once being so clumsy had likely saved her life. “that one hurt….that things legs are made out of steel…” complaining from her prone position. Quickly trying to roll herself out of the way to avoid getting stomped on.

The fact that she had been moments from death, completely and totally unknown to the klutz. Finally getting back to her feet after rolling a short distance away. The dark making it difficult to completely decipher what she was looking at. Gritting her teeth as she reached up rubbing her face gingerly having smashed it multiple times already without accomplishing much beyond slowing the hulk-phant. Her new set of clothing already dirty and her new hairdo already becoming a mess in short order.

“I’m going to need help this time around…there is no way I can beat this thing on my own….” Taking a quick look around her immediate area. A idea suddenly popping into her head out of the blue. One she knew was absolutely stupid, but it was better then standing around. “What if I run at it this time and do one of those fancy moves I’ve seen before on T.V…..it beats doing nothing….I just have to slow it down until the others can help…” Mustering up her energy as she planted her feet. Pushing off as fast she could as she charged at the hulk-phant a second time. Before she reached the beast, she crouched down at the last second. Launching herself forward with every bit of speed and strength she had like a spring towards what she believed was the chest of the beast. “They also told me I was hardheaded, so lets see if you like this! AYANA HEADBUTT ATTACK!” she cried out hurtling towards it head first. Attempting to give it the most powerful headbutt she could muster.

Frowning as Shizuka begun to lecture her, Yuki let out a soft sigh and heard him out. Puffing her cheeks out as she pouted. “I just wanted to kick his butt, he attacked me first……but fine….I’ll try to keep myself under control next time….” Keeping her head turned to the side as she traced circles in the dirt with her foot. Feeling a bit embarrassed about the whole ordeal as she wanted to forget all about it and put it behind her. Thankfully Io gave her that chance in short order.

Turning her head towards Io and Kazenosuke, Yuki couldn’t help but to pause for a moment. Finding it interesting as Io was no doubt interested in their new ally. Blinking her eyes a few times as she started snicker off to the side “On your own, and he will be safe? Oh….I can imagine he will be quite safe….a lot more safe then he ever bargained for….” Yuki teased as she placed her hands on her lips leaning forward.

“Though, not to worry, you may have him all too yourself, I’m not quite….as fond of him” Smiling as she gave a small wink to Io. “As for me, I think I’ll head back too the temple as well, I need to recover a bit of energy. It’s been a while since I had to get physical” Stretching her arms up above her head as she tried to loosen up. Having to use far more energy than she had to use in quite some time. There was no doubt Kazenosuke was a crafty warrior, after all he had made quite a fool of her.

Which wasn’t something she was too pleased about, after all it was often her that was making fools of others. But to have the tables turned on her like that, she didn’t want to fall victim to it again. She felt like letting out a little bit of steam, maybe pulling a few pranks to get her mood back in order. At the very least, she was glad that this mission had ended, and they had accomplished the goal. Deep down she did hope that Io and Shizuka didn’t judge her too harshly for her little outburst. After all the trio had only recently gotten acquainted as she had not worked with them before. Feeling like she had made a bit of a poor first impression and wanting to refresh back at the temple. Not having really interacted with Alice before, feeling it was best that Shizuka took care of it.

Before Ayana could react, she felt herself being thrown violently into the window frame of the bus. Unable to brace herself as she never even saw it coming in the dark. Letting out a sudden cry as she felt the impact. Having the air pushed out of her lungs as she lost her breath. Whatever hit her, had hit her hard, it felt like someone had ran up to her and swung away with a baseball bat. The window frame of the bus not giving her much cushion or comfort as she slammed into it.

Finding herself rebounding from the impact as she fell to the ground on her knees hunched over and slumped to the side propping herself up against the side. Her arms wrapped around her torso as she gasped for air trying to suck it back into her lungs. Having trouble catching her breath as she tried to get back to her feet. A grimace on her face as she finally got enough oxygen to get moving just a little.

“Alright……that……was….a….cheap….shot….if you…..wanted….round…..two…then…...you could have just....asked....” Gasping in-between each of her words as wincing as she tried to balance herself back onto her feet. Her one open eye searching the darkness for her assailant “The rest of you….try to get with the others, I’ll….hold this one off…for now….” Ayana turned to the others with her not wanting to get them dragged into this.

If this beast wanted a fight, she was going to give it as much fight as she could muster. It was clear that this one was stronger than the previous one. She didn’t think she had a chance to beat it all by herself. After all it had only been with Shun’s help that she had been able to drive off the first one. She had no choice in the matter this time around, it was just her and the beast.

She felt like she had a score to settle, a bit of retribution to exact. Sure, this beast would likely rip her limb from limb. But she was going to make sure it also paid dearly for it and wouldn’t escape this battle unscathed. Reaching her hands up as she slapped them into either side of her face to clear her mind and focus.

She turned to face her attacker gritting her teeth as she started to pound on her chest like a gorilla. She didn’t know why she decided to do it, but it felt good to get it out. “Let’s go then you coward, I know you’re here now, so let’s do this! Or are you a chihuahua!” Ayana shouted as she charged the beast grabbing a piece of the metal frame that had broken loose during the accident and the fire. Wielding it in her hands like a makeshift sword, its jagged end being the only thing she could find in the moment. Leading with the point first as she aimed for the meatiest part of the beast she could see before her.

Turning her head and attention away from her Ayane towards were Ayano motioned, spotting Duncan who was already up, talking and eating with a group of his friends. “Well, it’s a good thing he is so durable, I don’t know if I’d be able to do the same thing in such a short time, but with all the crazy stuff going on around ever since we got here, who knows what would happen….” As she was glad that Duncan seemed to be doing just fine despite the ordeal he had endured. However, it happened, or why it had happened mattered very little in the end, after all he was alive, and Ayana thought that was surely the most important part of it.

“I guess it wouldn’t hurt to go look and see if my stuff survived, I wouldn’t want to put any burden on either of you if I don’t have to…I mean what will he wear if you are wearing his clothes as well? It wouldn’t feel right if he ends up having to run around half naked out in the middle of nowhere.” Ayana added, grateful for the offer. But she didn’t want to cause too much unnecessary problems if she didn’t have too. Praying that her bag was one of the ones that had been saved during the initial emptying of the bus.

Reaching a hand up to the crisped end of what was once one of her two tails she let out a laugh and gave a nod of her head. “Oh, that doesn’t seem like too bad of an idea, so if you want to give it a go, its not like you can mess it up anymore then I already did, so work your magic, then I’ll run over and see if my stuff is around” Smiling at the strawberry-blonde in return for her kind offer. She had not interacted much with Ayano before in the past, but she seemed nice enough so far. Usually, others would keep their distance in concern of just what chaos they would get dragged into. But now that everything had gone awry, Ayana was finally getting to meet and know more of her classmates.

=======================================================
Her hair somewhat taken care of with the help of Ayano and Ayane, she had also been lucky enough to find her bag. Having changed into a new uniform she had spent the remainder of the night chatting and hanging out with the trio. Before they decided to get some sleep while a night watch cycle was put into place by the others. She had taken her bag and tightly packed up everything inside to make a nice pillow out of it. Sure, she didn’t have any blanket or anything, but hey at least a makeshift pillow made it a little more tolerable to sleep. Having drifted off at long last feeling happy about the kindness bestowed upon her thus far.

This peaceful sleep ended abruptly with the sound of shouting voices and what sounded like wolf bears as Ayana shot up, awake almost immediately. When she did so she smacked her head into the tree she had set up her sleeping quarters at. Which sent her stumbling and tripping back until she tripped over a rock and landed on her bum. Shun’s warning having cleared the sleep from her mind and body, and the clumsy aftermath making sure that she was completely alert. Rubbing her head and her rear, her sapphire eyes quickly searching the darkness to locate the source of all the commotion. Her eyes catching an unusual green hue in the darkness when the wolf bears had begun to fire off beams of energy.

“What do you mean they shoot death lasers now! first they are telepathic, now they shoot lasers? What’s next? They will figure out how to fly or something?!?!?!” shouting in pure exasperation upon realizing their new capabilities as she jumped to her feet in shock and horror. How much worse could it get, surely this was the last surprise that they had for them. Ayana didn’t know how many more surprises she could handle at this rate; it had taken everything she had earlier just to face off against the one wolf bear in the bus. That time she at least had Shun’s help.

“Fujito, Ayano, Ayane, stay close to me, we need to link up with more of our classmates and I’ll do my best to try to protect you three. After all I’m the only one right now that we know can take a hit without dying. The moment we panic and split up, those things are smart they will pick us off….”turning to the other three that where with her. Resisting the urge to charge right in to help Shun in her current predicament, not wanting to leave the three behind and open to danger. Taking great responsibility with the knowledge that she had abilities that none of the three had, so they had to rely on her.

Yuki’s eyes widened when he fell out of her path and let her crash through the wooden walls of his home. Tumbling as she crashed through into his humble home as she was laid out in a pile of debris for a moment. Starting to grumble as she laid there for a good moment to clear her briefly dazed mind and to ponder what had just happened.

She begun to push and brush off the various bits of wall that she had found upon her as she slowly stood back up on her feet looking down at herself as she dusted herself off rather sheepishly. The incident being more embarrassing than it was painful as she felt rather foolish. Though it had at least snapped her out of her anger filled state as the lightning had dissipated, and her claws and features returned to normal.

Taking a moment to survey her surroundings and the swordsman’s rather humble home. It wasn’t much, but it was more than she was used to having herself during her time living in the mountains. But he seemed to be a simple enough man that didn’t need the creature comforts to get by. Moving over too his table and taking a cup from it as she gave it a sniff. Taking it with her as she made her way to the hole she had created while the others seemed to be in discussion.

Taking a swig of the cups contents as she wrinkled up her nose as the taste wasn’t the greatest. As she peeked through the hole at the others just in time to catch Kazenosuke’s comment and Io’s response. “I’m not married to him as well, in fact I only recently met him as well as Io, also whatever your drinking, I think has burnt out any taste buds that you had” Yuki remarked as she hopped through the hole in the wall to the other side. Leaving the cup with its contents behind as she clasped her hands behind her back as she made her way to Shizuka and Io’s side.

Blinking her big blue eyes as she flinched ever so slightly from the flick “That is true….though I’ve not heard anyone mention that we share the same family name, but then again I’ve not ever really talked to anyone about it, so maybe they know but don’t feel like saying anything or don’t have a reason too, I guess its not that important in the end huh?” Reaching her hand up to her forehead to give it a gentle rub as she moved her hand to the back of her head following the rub.

Thinking for a moment as she considered all that had happened. It was as if something had ensured her safety. That something kept her from getting ripped to pieces. With what injuries she did receive, being gone just like they had never happened. It was an unexplainable and unexpected outcome, as she had fully expected to come out of the situation a lot worse for wear. But here she was, chatting away with her sister, feeling better than ever.

Her eyes focusing as she snapped out of her thought upon hearing her sister’s voice. “I see…that is good to hear,I bet he will be up and dunking again in no time, but even still, I wonder just how or why it has happened, I mean I don’t believe anyone of us are any different then anyone else, but whatever the reason, it seems we have gotten lucky, I fear without the luck we may not be sitting here right now” being pleased to hear that she wasn’t the only one experiencing this strange phenomenon. Whatever was causing it, at least it was beneficial or else they surely would have suffered far greater losses and injuries.

Glancing down at her clothing as her sister pointed it out. She let out a laugh while rubbing the back of her head as she got a stupid smile on her face. “It doesn’t look like they got blessed with the power to magically repair themselves like the rest of me, well besides the hair of course” Poking her finger through a few of the tears. “As for extra clothing, well you see I didn’t take my stuff off the bus and I didn’t really think to grab it when I was wrestling with that telepathic monster, so I don’t have any other clothing” Sheepishly looking over at Ayane as she responded as her belongings had been the last thing she had on her mind during the chaos.
