Hi everyone. before you all decide to stone me for sending my first
post in half a month as a two part series. here is the end of that
story.  

************
A twist in the tale.7
Amefurashi (2) 

*************

	Before anyone jumps to conclusions, the main character's name is Guo
Guang Ming which is the Chinese pronunciation of the characters of his
name. The last two words are actually saying light/bright two different
times. This is translated into Japanese as Kaku-Komei and thus the name.
I will always refer to him as Guo when using either the first or third
person perspective but the characters out of necessity (and depending on
how they know him,) will usually refer to him with the translated name.

*************

(Somewhere out there.)
	An uniformed person knelt before a throne. A throne made of black onyx
and sculpted in the mural of featureless faces, all screaming in pain
and agony. There an evil woman sat, her pale face covered with smooth
perfect skin, her ears, elongated to points like the story of elves but
her sharp canine teeth pointing the story another direction, towards the
myth of the nosferatu, Vampires. Beautiful yet deadly she sits, like a
poisonous snake above the hapless general.
	"Calcite. Your foul proof experiment failed. Would you like to explain
to me how this happened?"
	"It was not my doing my Queen. An abnormality entered the equation.
Please, let me show you." he said, a bead of nervous sweat itching it's
way down his cheek. 
	"Very well. Let it not be said I am not fair. Explain yourself." 
	"Thank you my queen." he said rising to his feet. Swinging his hand
behind him, a whirlwind of blackness rose forth. motes of light rose
from within the whirlwind, forming into a picture for all to see. 

**
	A single person in a pair of stained clothes flew forwards, slashing a
tray through the neck of a liquid yoma. He just stood there, startlement
evident on his face as the head popped back onto the yoma, joining
together to the severed neck. The yoma threw a backhand, swatting the
person over a counter. It stepped back as bottles fell onto the hapless
human, waiting for the person to rise. And rise up the human did, a red
welt oh his face as he looked to the yoma. 
	The yoma spread his arms above him, ready to attack when something
strange happened, the human attacked first. Flying forwards, the human's
form literally blurred as what seemed to be his fists flew in a hundred
punches, burrowing right through the yoma. He landed on the opposite
side of the Yoma and leapt o the side as the yoma tried to gather itself
together. 
	A second surprise was in store as the person cupped his hands to his
side. Seeming to gather his will, he pushed his hands forwards,
splattering the yoma through a door. Leaping in after the yoma, he
thrust his right hand into the glob like mess. There the image faded,
nothing else to be seen.

**
	"So, that is the person who defeated your underling Calcite. It seems
that humans are not all as weak as we were first lead to believe.
Perhaps you have a solution for your little problem, or is that too
difficult for you to handle?" 
	"No your majesty. I will solve this problem myself. We have yet to see
how a human fares against a yoma in a real fight. Especially one that is
not a third class underling."
	"Perhaps you are going to pit him against a second class yoma? I don't
see what good that will do." came the mocking response from the side. 
	"Nephrite." Calcite. spat in disgust. 
	"Greetings my queen." the long hared general said, moving into the
light besides Calcite. "I provided the viewing pleasure and would like
permission to set a tracker so everyone can enjoy the distraction this
human will provide." 
	"Hmm. A strange request but granted only if the tracker is used for
this mission alone."
	"Thank you my queen." Nephrite said, giving a short bow before
disappearing into the darkness behind.
	"Now Calcite. do you have a plan for this individual?"
	"Yes my queen. Analyzing the human's fighting powers was easy. He
counts on his superior speed compared to normal humans to overpower the
aqueous and slower moving Caffeine, but I see no problem for someone who
has the benefit of speed and power on his side. Wulfenite. 

*****************************

(Hakawa shrine)
	Three teenage girls and a black cat sit before a bonfire. A single
person lies before them, comatose for all to see. The three girls
consist of a raven hair girl in priestess robes, a blond with the
strangest hairdo, that of two long ponytails with two buns done on
either side of her head, and a single girl with short blue hair hunched
over a small computer. 
	"So, could he be a sailor sensei?" the blond asked. 
	"No according to the computer, this symbol is not from within the
silver millenium. However, the closest thing that could account for it
is the fact there never was a sensei for earth." 
	"But there never was a male sensei in the first place. . were there?"
Rei added in disbelief.
	"According to my database, all the sensei were and should still be
female." 
	"So what's the story on him?" Rei nearly shouted in frustration. 
	"I have no idea." Amy said as the others virtually facefaulted. 
	"Now now girls, you can't expect Amy to have all the answers." Luna
stated as the girls recovered.
	"But Luna! Amy always comes up with the answer." Usagi cut in.
	"I know Usagi, but you really have to remember, these are unusual
circumstances to say the least." Luna continued as the Usagi and Rei
looked at the guy sleeping there in the light of the fire. Seeing that
he still haven't moved, they looked back to Amy, and the computer to
discuss other possibilities. 

**

	The sounds of talking woke me from my slumber. A single voice I
remembered from before roused me from the comforts of sleep. It sounded
sharp and demanding, yet having the melodious sound that told of singing
experience. A second voice of calm rationality came in, giving facts in
soft gentile tones. A person that was perhaps a romantic at heart though
seemed timid in deed. A third voice was heard, one that seemed from a
voice box built too small to be anything else than a child, yet spoke
with the mannerisms of a adult. A last voice completed the group.
Dragging me from the last hope of sleep. That of a whiney person who had
the deep dulcet undertones of an adult.. if only she would use it. I
stayed still enjoying the last vestiges of sleep, and then cracked my
eyes open and looked into the world around. 
	It was a single room made of wood and brick, done in the old style of
Japanese temples. A blazing fire was set in the center of the room.
Burning merrily away, and heating the already warm room just a little
more. Looking down towards my feet, I saw the hair of what appeared to
be three girls. Short blue hair on one, two yellow buns for another and
what seemed to be long black hair for the third. *wait a minute, four
voices?* without further ado, I sat straight up. Startling the girls and
more importantly catching a black cat in mid speech. 

**

	"It is a possibility that he is a sailor sensei, but the problem is
explaining the fact that the heals rather quickly in this form. I mean
he can't be in his sensei form all the time can he?"
	"That's a valid assumption Amy but have any of you..." Luna trailed off
as the person sat up and looked at her in astonishment. "err. . . Meow?"
	*blink*  *blink* "err. nice try but I think cat's are definitely not
supposed to talk." he said stretching and eliciting a few pops from
various joints. "What time is it?"
	"err it's about  two?" the blue hair girl said, as he opened his eyes.
For a moment their eyes met and electricity passed through the room.

**

	Perhaps I was delusional or perhaps I was still out of it, but trust
me, after spending a week with the Tendos, I have seen weirder things
than talking cats. In fact, The weirdest thing in my mind is the fact
that a 200 pound man can turn into a 400 pound panda and the fact that a
120 pound girl can turn into a 20+ pound cat. Of course, that is not to
forget the fact that I saw a 100- pound girl riding a pig the size of a
small car, the fact that that ghosts exist, or that I got to meet one.
After a week of those things, a talking cat seemed normal indeed. In any
case, I wasn't talking about the cat. When I looked into those deep blue
eyes of hers, my heart sang for release and through a thought I made my
peace.

<English>
The tint of hair the soft blue eyes, 
a spring of hope or the illusion of lies, 
Can I go when time passes me by?

A single dream In the night, 
is it a vision to give me sight?
or a hope to make things right?

A single wish I hope to make, 
A single heart for you to take.
to hold up high or throw in a lake.

Answer me now my blue haired dear,
without an answer, I do fear,
even more than the deadly spear.
<end>

	Silence echoed through the room, the silence deafening to my ears as I
realized one thing. Not a sound did I make yet something seemed to have
happened. The blue hair girl was blushing a scarlet hue while the
others, including the cat were looking at me in astonishment. 
	"Err. is something wrong?" I said, wondering if my i had stared too
hard or too long, or perhaps something else went wrong.
	That snapped the out of their trance. and the blue haired girl blushed
even deeper, burrowing her face in her hands while a small smile etched
her lips. The other two girls suddenly loomed over me, their eyes wide
and questioning. "What was that?" they said in unison.
	"Err. .what?" I questioned a little dubious.
	"That poem we all heard." the blond demanded
	"WHAT poem? I didn't say anything!" 
	"We know but we definitely head a poem about dreams and blue hair. Kaku
Komei! Confess." Rei shouted at me
	"Dream and blue hair?" I said, my curiosity perked. "you heard that?"
	The blond suddenly got a questioning look on her face. "err why was it
in english? I wonder how I understood a word of english." 
	I just looked at her in surprise and growing excitement. "You heard
that?"
	"YES!" they both shouted back at me "So how did you do it?" the black
haired one asked
	A goofy grin crossed my face. "I have no idea." I said laughing out
loud. "Telepathy! I had never thought it was possible. but It happened
today!" I cried, flopping onto my back as I laughed in merriment. 
	"The two girls and the cat before me looked at me in incredulity before
looking back at each other. Big sweat-drops would be rolling down their
faces if it was possible. 

***************************

(megaverse) 
	A single person stood in a dark room, the walls black and indistinct in
the distance as he considered the crystal before him. turning around, we
see his features, the sharp face from earlier, the grey uniform with the
golden trimmings. The face that said, Calcite.
	"Wulfenite! I summon you!" he called, a black shape formed on the floor
before him, the shape vaguely humanoid, but hunched over, arms and legs
that ended in claws, the extra joint in the leg, the sharp teeth and
protruding snout. The general picture, that of a classical werewolf if
werewolves had red eyes, wore abbreviated sweatshirts and thigh length
jeans.  
	"Yes? Mas-ter?" he said, spitting out each syllable individually.
	"I have an assignment for you."
	"Thanks you mas-ter. Who?"

****************************

(Back at the shrine)
	Everyone seems a little more settled around the fire, Amy sat before
the blindfolded Guo, (Kaku, Komei) placing five playing cards upside
down on the floor before her. the others (namely Usagi, Rei and Luna,)
just sat and watched
	"ok, Kaku. Here's a little game we'll play. First, i put your hand on a
card, and you name it. Then  we'll go on to the next card and the rest
Ok??"
	"Sure. Can we get on with this already?" he asked, irritation evident
on his face. 
	"Ok.." Ami said as she took hold of his finger and guided it to the
card on her far right.  
	"ten of spades." second card, "two of hearts," center "Queen of
diamonds" forth "five of clubs" last, "Ace of spades"
	"ok." she aaid flipping the cards over, "first card was. two of hearts,
miss. Second card, Queen of diamonds? five of clubs, ace of spades" and
flipping over the last one.. "joker?" Amy looked a little unsettled
before looking to the pack besides her. Flipping over the top card, it
was a Ace of hearts, looking at the bottom card. .  it was the ten of
spades. 
	"So how did I do?" he said, idly scratching his head.
	"I have no idea."

**

	"Ok, the next test is a little more difficult. We're going to see your
ability to predict the future. 
	"Ok. err. do you think I can take the blindfold off now?" 
	"NO!" 
	"oh.." Dammit! Now I'm feeling a little warm again what's with that
fire anyway? Oh yes, they found out I needed to be able to see to send a
telepathic message. *sigh*  and I was getting so much better at
controlling who received the messages too..
	"I pick up the cards with my hand, you see if you can tell the
sequence." she said, shuffling the cards.
	"Ok. ." I said, as I waited. a second later, she stopped, and handed it
to me?
	"Cut the deck" 
	"oh.." I said as I did a dealer cut, (cut it with one hand.) and passed
it back
	"..... we'll start!" she said, placing her hand on the first card.
	"Ok. six of diamonds. two of clubs, three of . . . " 

**

	"So Amy, what's the results?" I asked after half an hour of similar
tests.
	"Err, you definitely have powers of precognition, about 75%success
rate. clairvoyance since you seem to know how to use things as soon as
you touch them, and even though you don't consciously use it, powers of
telepathic reception."
	"Huh?" I asked, suddenly feeling a little warm. Stupid thing is, the
feeling just kept coming and going during the course of the experiment.
	"There, you're doing it again." she said.
	"Doing what?" I inquired.
	"Blushing as soon as Amy blushed." Came an answer from the spectators,
their laughter echoed through the room. 
	"Oh.." I thought as the feeling intensified. "Does this mean Amy is
blushing as red as a beet now?" renewed gales of laughter echoed through
the room as someone touched her forehead to the floor, probably hiding
her face in her hands.

	Gosh, I thought that I had a little power with levitation, short range
teleportation and telekinesis. But it seems like I have more powers than
that. I just wish I could actively use some of them. Hmm. A nice joke
just entered my mind. it also might stop me from 'receiving' that
annoying blush. Removing my blindfold I looked at them and crossed my
legs a little tighter. Closing my eyes, I assumed the lotus position.
and assumed the look of concentration. 
	"Those are not the least of my powers. perhaps you would like to
watch?" I said, resisting the urge to laugh along with them. presently,
the quieted down.  I just held that form for a minute, letting my mind
and body relax, giving them the impression of deep concentration. 
	"Do you think he'll do anything soon" Usagi asked someone. 
	"Quiet you idiot. That's called meditation!"
	"Rei, stop being mean to me" 
	"Come on you guys, let's just watch this, this is no time to fight."
	"But Rei was mean to me"
	"It's not like you didn't deserve it." Rei replied, the situation
probably would have degenerated from there if someone else had not
interjected something.
	"Err girls. I think you should take a look at this." Luna wisely cut
in.
	"What?" Usagi and Rei practically shouted at her.
	"Look at him and you'll see." indeed, I was about two inches off the
mat and going a little higher every few seconds. 
	 Ooos and ahs came from the two girls while sounds of typing came from
the direction of Amy. Slowly, I added a new twist to the idea, turning
very slowly at first and then increasing in speed until I went one
entire round. Then slowing down, I came to a stop facing the same
direction I started. Bringing my hands up, I just crossed them before my
chest A flash of light, and I disappeared. 
	Within the room, cries of startlement and astonishment sounded as lay
down on the porch just outside. I just enjoyed the sun shining on my
face as they did they turned the room upside down searching for me.
Perhaps I'll tell them I'm just outside in a while. Nah.

***************************

(in the park,)
	A group of children happily chased a ball over the muddy ground, a
single little girl in a kimono chased after the ball like all the other
kids. Suddenly looking upwards, a simple grin crossed her face as she
broke off and started walking back towards the police box. 
	"Hey! Don't go! we still haven't finished the game yet!" called a
little kid from the field. The Little girl looked back towards the kids
and back at the police box. .. 
	'It could wait.' she thought as she rejoined the soccer game.
"Interception!" she cried as she slid across the grass

***************************

(A single stream of black)
(is that your best attack?)
(is so, then taste the furry of fire back.)

	The demon continued typing on his screen. as a annoying buzz rang to
the side. looking at the thing in irritation, he noticed that it was the
playback button. "Ahh. finally." he said pressing the button. 
	The activities from the last chapter since Guo entered the Coffee shop
played back on the screen. The fight with the yoma and the sailor
scout's late arrival. Even the sailor scouts carrying off the sleeping
Guo to a temple. The scrying, the analysis, and taking a sample of his
hair. Then after all that, the waking of Guo. *BZZZZZT* went the screen
as Guo looked into the blue hair girl's eyes. everyone on the screen
looked shocked and the demon was not the least impressed. 
	"Finally, there is some motivation for his dominant powers to emerge.
About time too." he snorted as he typed a few choice commands into the
computer, starting the spiritual and mana analysis of the boy.  On the
screen, Guo had a couple of psychic tests, and finally it was done. An
evident joke about both the tester and the tested blushing at the same
time, and another that he played on all within the room. Levitating, a
ki flash, and a short teleport outside. Simple stuff really with the
powers he had already possessed. "Hmm. so what's allowing me to see all
this if he's still on temple grounds? he thought as the computer came up
with the analysis. 

	[Spiritual interference still evident. . . next command]

	Ok so that's it. [Where is the visual ability coming from?]

	[Remote tracking spell from outside source allows us to gain retained
images of subject.]

	ahh. two can play at that game. [Identify holder of spell and relevant
information]

	[processing. processing. processing. . Identified. Spellcaster
Nephrite. general of Beryls armies of the sub dimension negaverse. Cast
on subject wulfenite. Standard werewolf creature, warrior of negavrese .
. More info?]

	"Ok, that's settled." he said looking over to the sleeping imp. "I
wonder if I should bother to wake her? hmm. . . nah."
