MGFlash 6: Business as usual.

	Tsuki looked at the figure standing before her in disbelief. It
was Hibiki, but his facial scar appeared to have vanished. He was wearing
a dark green business suit with a red tie and a pen striped shirt. He was
wearing a pair of dark sunglasses and had a large grin plastered on his
face. She had never seen him dressed this well. A small snicker started
in her stomach, a few moments later she was rolling on the floor.
	"What's so funny?" asked Hibiki seriously.
	"What are you supposed to be? business suit Kamen? Oh wait! I
know! Executive Kamen!" she cried in hysterics.
	"Oh, your a riot." said Hibiki with a sour glare. "If you
remember we have a monster to kill." 
	"Oh yea, right." said Tsuki getting serious.
	
	The thing stood and stalked towards the pair of heros. Zenata
pointed his camera towards the scene and nearly cried with tears of joy.
"I don't believe this." he said as his luck seemed to grow. Not only had
he seen the arrival of the new Seishin Star but he had also witnessed the
first public appearance of the new Tuxedo cloak. Well, he assumed it was
him. Either way this was a big break in his career. A voice called him
from the street he turned and smiled.
	
	"Zenata! Get out of there you crazy jerk! You could be hurt!"
cried Ryoga as he emerged from the phone booth.
	"Hey Ryoga-kun! Finally get to see some action?" cried the man as
he jogged towards him.
	"I read all the action I can handle from my desk." answered
Ryoga. "And how many times do I have to tell you not to call me that!?"
	"Excuse me, Ryo, but shouldn't you be hiding?" asked Zenata as he
continued to snap photos.
	"Yea, after I get your stupid a-" started Ryoga but he was cut
off by an explosion. 
	"I think its over." said Zenata as he walked to the middle of the
street.

	Tsuki and Hibiki dodged and weaved around the creatures wild
blows. "Do that thing again!" cried Tsuki.
	"What?" said Hibiki as he ducked.
	"That fireball thing! Do it again!" cried the girl as the monster
charged her again.
	"I am it takes a while to charge!" yelled Hibiki as he followed.
	"Tsuki use your staff." scolded the cat as she ran between the
pair.
	"Augh! I hate that thing!" cried Tsuki in anguish.
	"If you don't like the job..." started Hibiki.
	"Its not the job I don't like its the girlie crap that goes with
it." grumbled Tsuki as she touched her arm bands. "Light of love staff!"
she cried and the mystical scepter appeared in her hand.
	"The 'Light of love beam is not your only attack Tsuki it is just
a finishing move. You have to learn to control your staff." said the cat
as they watched the monster warily.
	"That is so gross." muttered Tsuki.
	"This isn't the place for childish humor Tsuki." said Hibiki as
he watched his flaming opponent edge closer.
	"Look who's talking 'business boy'." muttered the cat. 
	"How much control do I have over this thing?" asked Tsuki.
	"Total." said Sasha.
	Tsuki smiled and closed her eyes she concentrated hard and smiled
as she realized she had done what she wanted. From the end of the staff a
four foot long blade of light appeared. "Kick ass." she said as she
stepped forward.
	"Tsuki don't get cocky." said Hibiki from behind her.
	"Your one to talk." snorted the girl as she charged. She slashed
at the beast and it struck out with its fist and missed by a foot. Tsuki
cursed as she felt the heat singe her as she slashed at its chest. The
thing grunted in pain as the blade grazed it. The monster kicked out and
caught Tsuki as she rolled away and tried to slash at it again. It
slammed its foot into her side and she cried out in pain and surprise as
she was slammed into building.

	Hibiki watched in horror as Tsuki took the hit. "Tsuki no!" he
cried as he jumped into the air. "Mirror kick!" he cried as he seemed to
freeze in mid jump and fade out of existence. He appeared out of nowhere
behind the monster and a shadow like after image formed from where he had
been to where he appeared behind the monster the monster fell violently
to the ground as if it had been struck. It all happened in a split
second.

	"Sir massive damage to the cranial region of the unit." said one
of the technicians in the great control room.
	"Repairable?" asked the commander as he stood and watched the
screen.
	"Yes sir were working on it. Sensors still unable to determine
the cause." said the Tech. 
	"Its obvious that new guardian did it somehow." snorted the man
as he idly played with his facial scar again. "What should we do my
lord?"
	"A few more guardians won't matter in the long run, continue the
operation as planed." said the man on the throne.
	"Yes my lord." said the commander.

	Tsuki stood and glared at the monster as it lay on the ground
burning and smoking. "I didn't need your help, I was handling it." she
said calmly.
	"Fine be that way." said Hibiki as he blasted the monster in the
chest with another chi blast
	"Here let me, Light of love beam." said Tsuki as she blasted the
monster into ashes. Hibiki smiled and turned towards her.
	"How do we get home?" he asked.
	"I'll take us." sighed Sasha.
	"Hey, Hibiki...thanks." said Tsuki as the light surrounded them.
	"Any time babe." said Hibiki smugly as he pushed his shades back
into his face.
	"How on earth can you manage to ruin any moment?!" cried Tsuki as
she faded out.

	From a nearby roof top a lone figure dressed in red traditional
samurai robes watched the exchange with disgust. His long chestnut hair
blew dramatically in the afternoon wind. "It seems I arrived a little to
late." he muttered to himself as he turned away. He stopped cold. "Who is
it." he said calmly as his hands went to the curved blades at his side.
	"I am called Nigai, why do you hunt the Seishin?" asked the
beautiful blue skinned woman who appeared from the shadows.
	"That is my business demon. I hunt your kind as well." said the
boy as he pulled his blades out of their hilts.
	"Tell me, who are you? I like to know the name of those I kill."
asked the woman with a smile as she pulled a large curved knife from her
back.
	"I am called Kotetsu Akai, the name of your destruction." said
the boy as he readied himself.
	The woman smiled and stood in a relaxed position. "Come worm feel
your death." she said
 	"The only death this day will be your own." said the boy as he
charged. He seemed to blur and appeared next to her with his blade at her
throat, her hand shot up and she deflected the blade barely in time. A
look of surprise appeared on her face and she sneered. 
	"It seems I underestimated you." she said with a smile. "I was
under the impression that this planet was weak."
	"I'll show you how weak we are." said the boy as he slashed at
her with deadly precision. She struggled to keep up with him and blocked
all of his blows. She began to return his strikes with almost impossible
speed. The boy was having trouble seeing her movements. He dodged with
very slight movements that put him barely out of range of the weapon. She
growled in frustration and they jumped away from each other. They stood
watching each other silently for a moment and rushed each other again
yelling. The pair clashed for a moment and their arms and legs became a
blur of motion as they passed each other. They froze as they landed with
their backs facing each other. Kotetsu's shirt sleeve fell open revealing
a long slash. He smiled and stood replacing his blades. The woman turned
to face him and replaced her own. Blood began to ooze from the cut on her
shoulder and she frowned.
	"We will continue another time, it seems I have underestimated
you." she said as she faded into the shadows.
	"Indeed." said the boy as he turned jumped away.

	The next day Tsuki sat at her desk and looked at the teacher
lazily. "This is boring." she muttered. She felt something hit her foot
and looked down to see a note. She picked it up and frowned. It had Tsuki
written on it in familiar careful hand writing.

	Tsuki,
	Where were you yesterday? I heard you were out with your
boyfriend. Is it true?
	Tell me!

	Tsuki felt her face turn red in anger. "Dammit, He's not my boy
friend!" she cried angrily as she stood and glared at Kasumi.
	"Tsuki bring me the note." said the teacher.

	Five minutes later Tsuki stood in the hall looking embarrassed,
yet another new rumor floated through the school. "I hate you Kasumi."
she muttered. Then she heard it from the class, her vision blurred and
she passed out. The teacher was reading another note.

	Dear Kasumi, 
	What did Tsuki say? Did she spend the day with her boyfriend at
one of those love motels? Tell me later!
	Atama.
	 Kasumi and Atama joined Tsuki in the hall. Atama had a towel
tied to her head again and Kasumi looked at Tsuki's unconscious form.
"You realize she is going to kill you when she wakes up." said Kasumi.
Down the hall an anguished cry of pain filled the hall. 
	"Sounds like Kiri heard the rumor." said Kasumi with a smile.

	On the way home Tsuki was followed by Kasumi and a bandaged and
sad looking Atama. She turned the corner and found herself restrained.
She looked down to see Sho clinging to her leg with tears in his eyes.
	"Say it isn't so! Tsuki, tell me you didn't do it!" cried the
boy.
	Tsuki only glared at Atama again. "I'm sorry!" she squeaked.
	"Tsuki-chan! If you get married...we'll have to live in sin!"
cried the boy as he clung to her legs even tighter.
	"Sho-kun, this isn't the best time..." started Kasumi nervously.

	Hibiki and Hana sat at the table eating lunch when a scream of
rage came from the streets. "Sounds like Tsuki's home." said Hana.
	"Yup." agreed Hibiki as he chewed lazily.
	"You aren't going to be able to sleep in like that when you start
school." she warned.
	"Why do you think I'm doing it now?" answered the boy lazily.
	"What happened to you young people?" said the woman as she shook
her head in disgust.
	"Oh, be quiet. You were twice as lazy as she is." muttered the
cat.
	"Who asked you?!" snorted the woman defensively.
	"Me thinks she doth protest too much." said Hibiki with a smile.
	TbC......

	Next time... Fire Seishin Found! 
	Tsuki: God Noooooo! Please! -Anyone- but her!!!
