Ayami, Jounishi and Mink were all sleeping peacefully in their beds at the Inn. It was a beautiful day, not too hot but not too cold. The golden sunlight was peering through an opening in the blinds and was shinning on Jounishi’s face. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around the room. He looked at the girls who were in the next bed and smiled.

-“It’s good to have Ayami back.” He thought to himself. “She’s less dangerous this way!” he said while holding his stomach. “That was one punch!”

            Mink finally woke up.

-“Meow! Good morning Jounishi.”

-“Good morning Mink.”

-“What time is it?”

-“9:30am, when do you think we should head out to pick up our necessities.”

-“Meow, whenever Ayami wakes up.”

-“Ok” Jounishi said while walking up to Ayami. He knew that Ayami was extremely ticklish so he took that to his advantage. He began to tickle her and in no time at all, Ayami jumped out of bed, laughing her ass off.

-“Ahahahaha! What was that for!?!” she laughed.

-“Meow, Jounishi couldn’t resist.”

-“Ya, besides we have to leave now.”

-“Ok”

-“WOW!!!!!!!!!!!” Ayami began. “ I love hot springs! Can we go please!” she said while shoving the paper in Jounishi’s face.

-“Sure!!”

-“Meow!!!” Mink shrieked. “I don’t want to go. Water…..”

-“But at the beach you went in the water.” Jounishi mentioned.

-“Yes, but that was only to save you. Meow. I hated every minute of it!”

            Jounishi and Ayami sighed.

-“You two can still go. Meow, don’t worry about me. I’ll just do all the shopping while you two go and relax.”

-“Thank you!” Ayami cheered.

            Ayami and Jounishi headed out towards the hot spring.

-“According to the map it should just be around the next corner.” He said.

-“Yay!!!!!!!”

            The two of them finally reached the front of the hot spring. Ayami’s eyes filled with happiness. They haven’t had much time to relax so they were both looking forward to it. Ayami entered the women’s side and Jounishi entered the men’s.

            Ayami went to the changing room and got changed into her towel. When she was finished she hurried to the back exit way leading to the osen.

-“WOW! This hot spring is humongous!!!”

            She slowly got into the water and made her way to the fence, which was blocking the men’s side from the women’s. Ayami looked up at the sky, she didn’t have a care in the world.

-“This is so relaxing and I’m the only one here.”

-“Not anymore!” Jounishi said as he entered the men’s side.

-“Hey! Isn’t this great? I have no idea how Mink could hate something as relaxing as this!”

-“I know, but she is a cat.”

-“You’re right. Oh Jounishi…”

-“Ya?”

-“You know what I miss?”

-“What?”

-“Watching anime and stuff.”

-“Ya since we’ve arrived here, we haven’t had time for anime. It’s pretty sad actually.”

-“Sure is, now it’s more like we’re living an anime. Don’t get me wrong, it’s pretty damn kewl, but it’s also very hard sometimes.”

-“I know exactly what you mean!”

-“I summon upon the black angel, Akutawa!” Haruki shouted.

-“Huh?” The two of them said as they stood up.

            They both looked above them only to find a dark hole with Haruki next to it. Suddenly, a dark angel emerged from the dark hole. Haruki could only laugh.

-“Let me introduce myself. I am Haruki, the Wind Warrior! Oh and this here is Akutawa.” He finished while pointing at the creature. “It’s just a little summon Lord Daisuke taught me. Akutawa…ATTACK!”

            The dark angel spread it’s wings and placed it’s two hand above. A dark beam joined from the hands to each wing, creating a triangle. Moments later, a huge triangle blast was sent towards Ayami and Jounishi. As the blast hit the spring, water went flying everywhere…as well as the fence, which separated Ayami and Jounishi. Ayami and Jounishi, who had been thrown down by the blast, were now getting up. Ayami turned to where the fence once was and Jounishi did the same. Ayami’s face slowly turned a bright red, as did Jounishi’s. After a long moment of silence, Ayami managed to speak.

-“No!! Don’t look at me, don’t look!! I’m half naked!!” she screamed as she tried to hide herself with her hands.

            Haruki began to laugh. Akutawa used this moment of panic to attack again. It charged towards Ayami and kicked her to the other end of the hot spring, where she was bashed into a bolder. Jounishi grew angry and ran towards the dark angel. He punched it in the face numerous times then kicked it in it’s side. Akutawa fell into the spring while Jounishi ran up to Ayami.

-“You ok?”

-“Ya I’m fine” she said while holding her back. “Lets hurry up and destroy this thing.”

            They both approached the angel and prepared themselves for battle. When it stood up again it immediately charged towards them again. Jounishi flew to the side and fired a fire blast at it. It shrieked in pain but continued to fight.

-“I have an idea!” Ayami said.

            Ayami pointed her finger at Akutawa and an icy blue light covered her finger.

-“I’ll freeze it!” she said as she leaped towards it. She touched it’s head with her finger and it immediately turned to ice.

-“All right! Now we can destroy it!” Jounishi said but just then, the ice began to melt.

-“Huh?” they both pondered.

-“Idiots!” Haruki started. “The water from the spring is so hot that it’s melting the ice, and ruining your little plan.”

            The ice soon became thin enough for Akutawa to break through, and it did. Now it was angrier than ever. The dark angel flew into the sky and pointed its finger towards Ayami. A dark bow and arrow appeared in its hands and then launched the arrow towards Ayami. Ayami moved to try to get out of the way and the arrow got hold of her towel instead of her. The towel was removed from her body and pinned into a bolder by the arrow.

Everyone stopped dead in their tracks. Everything went silent, so silent you could hear a pin drop a mile away. Ayami’s eyes grew wider then they have ever been. Her face turned to a dark red colour, darker then ever before. Jounishi and Haruki could only stare in shock. Ayami was frozen, unsure of what had just happened and when she finally did realize…

-“AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

            She plunged her body under the water to give her some sort of coverage.

-“HENTAI ANGEL! HENTAI, HENTAI, HENTAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

            Haruki began to laugh again.

-“Well I must say, that was quite a show!”

            Ayami just glared at him.

-“Well Akutawa, What are you waiting for? She’s not going anywhere like that so you can destroy her easily.”

            Akutawa took another arrow and aimed towards Ayami. He pulled it backwards, and then launched it. Ayami closed her eyes tight, and awaited her death. The arrow came closer and closer when suddenly; Jounishi jumped in front of Ayami, blasted his “Soul Destroyer” and took the hit. Ayami quickly opened her eyes. The arrow had pierced through his arm and Akutawa was defeated. The dark arrows Akutawa had launched disappeared and Jounishi fell in the water.

-“Damn!” Haruki said as he disappeared.

-“Jounishi!”

            Ayami went over to him and put her arm around him; still keeping her other hand around her chest to hide herself a bit.

-“Oh no his arm is bleeding! Don’t die on me Jounishi!”

-“Die?? Me?? Nah!” He said with one eye still shut. He slowly got up.

-“You didn’t have to do that silly!” she said as she wiped up her tears.

-“I know, but I did……. Um……..”

-“Ah! That’s right!” she blushed again. “Could you, um, pass me my towel? ^-^’ ”

-“Sure.”

            Ayami was finally able to put her towel back on!

-“Lets go get changed now.” Jounishi said.

-“But your arm. It’s really bleeding, we should fix it first.”

-“How? There’s no bandages or anything here. Besides, I’m fine, I’ll just put some pressure on it.”

-“Ok”

Jounishi kept his hand on his wound to prevent it from bleeding. They both finished getting changed and left the hot spring. When Jounishi left the spring, he let go of his arm because the bleeding had stopped. They were looking for Mink all through town. On their way, Jounishi yelled in pain and held on to his arm, which started to gush out an incredible amount of blood.”

-“Oh no! I told you we should do something about it. Follow me.”

            Ayami knocked on the first house she could find.

-“Excuse me miss. My friend injured his arm very badly and I was wondering if you had some bandages that he could use.”

-“Oh of course, I’ll be right back.” The lady said.

            Minutes later, she came back with some bandages and ointment.

-“Here you are.”

-“Oh thank you so much for your generosity! “

            Ayami put on the ointment and wrapped his arm in bandages. She gave the lady back her ointment and continued searching for Mink.

-“That was a hard battle.” Ayami began.

-“Ya, Haruki said it was a summon that Daisuke taught him.”

-“Daisuke must be the leader of the Oni Ryuu Senshis.”

-“Ya, so this summon must of been an example of the strong powers Daisuke has.”

-“Ya” she sighed. “I wish we could find the hidden realm where their lair is.”

-“I know, they hid it well!”

Soon, they found Mink exiting a local food store.

-“Mink!” They both shouted.

-“Hi guys! I just finished all the shopping! Meow, I even picked up a few clothes for you guys...and for me too of course!”

-“Thanks Mink!” Jounishi said.

-“So how was the hot spring? Meow?”

-“Well…” Ayami began.

-“Just look at my arm!”

-“Oh you guys were attacked? Meow.”

-“Ya but we won!” she said.

-“Ya but you won’t believe what happened to Ayami, she…” Ayami cut off Jounishi.

-“Never mind that! Hehehe…he…” she said with a sweat drop on her forehead.

            And once again our heroes continued to the next town, in search of the lair of the Oni Ryuu Senshis.

-“When will our heroes find this lair? Are the Oni Ryuu Senshis just toying with them?
