Lumi-chan just got out of the arena, angry and jealous. It wasn't everyday that Lumi was full of sadness and anger, and jealousy. Don't forget the jealousy! "Natsumi thinks she is so cool, I'll show her a thing or two!" She declared. It was then that Kouto appeared. "Well, Yashiko has completely dissed you, huh? Like an unwanted object." "That mean old Terebi!" Lumi screamed as she faced Kouto. "How dare she use Brother Seki against Yashiko! When I get my hands on her...." "Take it easy Lumi-Chan...." Kouto swayed to the front of her. "Forgive my behavior before, but I wanted to teach Seki a lesson. However, when that tactic backfired, I decided to use the powers of Kumayama. That didn't work either, which comes down to today." He spun around and as he finished, flowers appeared all over him. "My father has reserved a special training room for both of us, so when the time comes, we will defeat Yashiko and Terebi for good, and teach them the errors of their ways!" "Wow!" Lumi chirped. "Can you really do that?" "Would I lie to you?" Kouto smiled very innocently. It was then that Lumi-chan beamed in happiness. She actually fell for Kouto's ploy! However, due to the fact that neither of them will be doing the horizontal rhumba, thanks to many a concerned reader, she will just go along with Kouto's plan to defeat Yashiko. ------ FURNITURE WARRIORS X PLUS SIGMA TURBO THALLIUM BATTLE 2002 Started by Brian Stricklin, again. Continued by Ryunson, again. By now, Nihana-san probably doesn't care about this fic. Pity on.... What was Nihana-san's gender again? ------ CHAPTER TWENTY: Everybody Loves/Hates Seki OR Seki's Rebirth ----- As Natsumi and Yashiko, along with Vanity still in her possession, left the arena, Yashiko turned her head towards Natsumi. She peered in while Natsumi's massive bosom bounced and wobbled while she walked. Yashiko was very troubled by how Natsumi's bosom bounced. "You should be pleased, Yashiko." Natsumi smiled as she looked at Yashiko. "Isn't better how you managed to win with a huge breasted big sister at your side, rather than an annoying brat, that lightbulb wearing freak, that disgrace to society? Makes you want to be glad to have considered a date with the less popular guy in school, you know?" "Look, I know that Lumi must be watched constantly, but that does not give you a right to treat her like dirt!" "That's exactly what she is, dirt." Natsumi giggled. "How she managed to pass Kumayama's exam is beyond me. Even Vanity being the Rosewood Bride is a better luxury than living in Lumi-chan's shoes." "Don't compare Vanity to Lumi!" Yashiko stood in front of Natsumi as she shook her fist. "She's got her own problems, and if I break Seki's promise, he'll hate me forever!" "Well then, why don't you ask Vanity to do something, if she is truly yours now?" Natsumi smiled. "I'm sure she will obey you." "Fine." Yashiko then called Vanity over. "Vanity, come here." She looked at Vanity. "Yes, mistress Yashiko?" Vanity was nearly responsive to Yashiko, despite her cruel methods to her earlier in this fanfiction. "I want you to see if Terebi's breasts are real!" Yashiko demanded. "I don't know how they got so huge, but I demand to know how they got so big!" Vanity was puzzled as she looked at the amazon. "Yes, feel away." Natsumi cooed as she hefted her massive breasts. "See how natural they are." She dropped them, and as she did, they bounced again. With a swallow from Vanity, she reached over, and lifted one of Natsumi's breasts, and examined it. She then poked said boob with the other hand, and went on to pat it. She then rubbed and massaged one of Natsumi's breasts, and eventually she kneaded and rubbed them. Finally, she took Natsumi's breasts and hefted them, and soon buried her head in Natsumi's monsterous bosom. Vanity then popped her head from Natsumi's cleavage and rested her head on one of Natsumi's huge breasts. "Well?" Natsumi asked while Vanity was in her cleavage. "How was it? Are they natural or not?" Vanity can only respond with the following. "They are natural. Natsumi is a very well endowed woman." Yashiko can only jawdrop. "Tell me you're lying." "I cannot." Vanity shook her head. "Natsumi was born with her mother's features, a naturally large bosom, and a very althetic body. She is naturally physically fit." It was then that Yashiko fell into a state of depression, accompanied by a completely white background. It was if the shadow of death loomed over her. "I can't believe it." She thought. "I thought I was growing out nicely." It then zoomed over her face. "Then, someone like Natsumi enters your world and tries to take your brother away. Funny, where is Brother Seki anyway?" ----- Seki, in the meanwhile was pulverized by a huge looking man carrying a washing machine in an alleyway. The man himself was a thug of some sorts, sporting a tank top and tattoos all over him, signifying allegances, marks of honor, and of course, the ever lovable homage to his Mom. He was a middle aged man, glaring down on his rival. "Looks like you're all washed up, bathrobe man!" The thug smiled as his minions snickered in responce. "If you'd be so kindly to hand over all your valuables, I'll let you pass." It was then that the Former Mrs. Oakcraft appeared. "We have no money." She was completely emotionless. "No jewels, no nothing. We will, however, give you scars to remember us by." "Who the Hell are you?!" The thug demanded. "I am she who was once married to Venerable Master Oakfraft." She spoke within a cold breeze. "My name is of no importance, but my occupation, is." "WHY YOU!!" The thug raised his washing machine high, and just when he was about to attack her with it, the machine was suddenly deflected off of his hands. "DAMMIT!" "Now Seki!" The woman commanded. "Finish this nusiance off." "Certainly." Seki smiled as a red aura came forth from his chair. It was a demon red, not a firey hero red, and it suddenly connected with the thug as bright lights came from the alleyway, accompanied by the thug's scream. The thug fell to the floor as he was seeing stars. "Now then, we have taken your leader." The woman snarled. "You work for us now." "Whatever, just don't hurt us!" Some of the thugs were panicked that the strongest lot of them was defeated. "Seki," The woman looked at him. "If I had any emotion left, I would've congradulated you on a job well done today." "Thank you, sensei." Seki bowed. His voice sounded alot more eviler than before. "Your task here is finished, but the journey has not yet ended." "What do you mean?" Seki spoke in his completely evil bishounin voice. "We must return to Hiroto High to reclaim what is rightfully yours. As soon as you gain more experience here, we will finally make our enemies pay for weakening the Big Tibetian Dojo." "As you command, sensei." Seki bowed once again as they left the area. The thug is still seeing stars, and not that of Hollywood. ----- "If the Rug is not nailed down, it will curl up without being broken into. We are the Rug, the World our nail.... NO WAIT!" "Kouto, has thinking about Yashiko made you THIS forgetful?" Benma stated the obvious. "SILENCE!" Kouto shook his hands as the elevator makes it to the top. "I'm trying to think of something we can do in this dark time!" "News Flash!" Kotaro appeared right out of his vortex. "Seki has escaped from his prison, and he's headed straight for our school!" "That's not the worst of it." Kouto looked upon Ijima's sleeping form. "Ijima hasn't fully recovered from Natsumi and Yashiko's attack, making either of them holding one of the four Rosewood Keys." "As if Seki was bad enough." Benma frowned. "What can we do?" "Only one thing we can do." Kouto looked over the horizon. "We must not allow Brother Seki to reach this school! It is he who brought these other outsiders here, and it is through his death, that these outsiders will never bother us again!" "So, what do you suggest?" Kotaro peered in. Kouto peered back in. "I want you and Benma to kill Seki. His demise will usher in peace and prosperity for both the Student Council and the school." "Kill Brother Seki?" Kotaro was shocked. "Isn't that a little extreme?" "I know I have my differences, but killing brother Seki won't make these Dark Warriors leave Hiroto High School." "Ah, but that's not what we are trying to accomplish." Kouto looked at Benma. "Yashiko's reason for fighting lies within her devotion to Seki and Ryo. If we can get rid of both of them, then Yashiko will have to give up being a furniture warrior! All that's left after that, is Natsumi herself! Once she's beaten, the duels will be ours once more." "But what about Shiro?" Benma added. "His victory over Seki can be worrysome." "Don't worry, I'll handle Shiro." Kouto smiled. "You better get going. The longer you two stand there, the faster Seki will reach this school. I fear that he has powers beyond belief now." Benma and Kotaro nodded and left. Kouto looked to the sky, and looked at Ijima. "Seki's been a problem before, but now, I fear that Seki has reached a level that was thought to be unattainable. Some may speculate that he may be even more powerful than Marlo himself, and equal Natsumi." "Kouto..." Lumi was puzzled. "Was it nessesary to say those things about him, Seki's a pretty okay guy." It was then that Kouto freaked out. "HOW DID YOU GET IN?!" "I followed you." Lumi smiled. "Aren't I stealthy? Even though I don't know what Stealthy means." Kouto slapped his head. "Next time, try to stay outside until I come out, all right?" "Okay!" Lumi chirped. Kouto groaned. "Maybe inviting Lumi everywhere I go isn't always a good thing." ---- "This is your house?!" Yashiko was shocked at the complexity of Natsumi's house. "You like it?" Natsumi giggled. "Were your parents bad sentai fans when they were growing up?" Yashiko scowled at the idea. "That's an otaku's secret!" Natsumi winked her eye. Yashiko just groaned as she knocked on the door. "Let's just get this overwith." As the door opened, Yashiko removed her shoes while entering. Before she did, she ran into a massive bosom. "What is this?" Yashiko demanded as she ran into a woman. "Oh, you must be Yashiko." The woman is described as an extremely tall woman with a figure that completely tops Natsumis. She has hair like her, she looks like an older Natsumi, except her hair is black as night. She is extremely beautiful, with purple lips, and looking like a midnight dream. She had breasts bigger than Natsumi's, and she is plumper too. She pulled Yashiko into an embrace. "Natsumi has told me wonderful things about you!" "And who are you?" Yashiko spoke through the woman's cleavage. She popped her head through it. The breasts bounced while she did so. "My name is Tsuzuki Terebi, Natsumi's mother." Tsuzuki smiled as Yashiko was still smothered in her bosom. Her big, soft, squishy bosom. It jiggled and wobbled while Yashiko was rubbed against it. "I understand that you want to know about the information on Ikea's mother." "Yes!" Yashiko tried to push against Tsuzuki's breasts with them bouncing and wobbling with every pose. She was truly smothered within Tsuzuki's bosom, trying to swim in it. "Well, I have some information from her on my computer, if you are interested." Natsumi bowed as she did so. Tsuzuki smiled once again. "All right, but Natsumi has to be with you at all times in this place, we don't want intruders to wallow within our muck, if you know what I mean." "Yes!" Yashiko jumped up once again while her head forced Tsuzuki's breasts to bounce and wobble once again. Tsuzuki can only nod. ---- As Yashiko and Natsumi enter the vicinity of her house, Yashiko can only wonder where Natsumi got all sorts of giant robot toys in her room. In fact, Yashiko was puzzled on why she would own a Tekkaman figure. Natsumi happily sat at her computer with a tank top and jeans. Her breasts were snug within that top as they bounced. "Now, we search for mother's information that was entrusted to me." She then accessed a document from her computer and read it. "According to the database, the Woman Formerly Known as Mrs. Oakcraft divorced the Venerable Master when he cheated on her with another woman. Enraged, Oakcraft's first wife then went into hiding with Ikea himself, which Oakcraft fought for him in the Alpha Tournament." "So, did Oakcraft win?" Yashiko looked over Natsumi's shoulder while her own boobs pushed into Natsumi's back. "Yes." Natsumi smiled as she turned around with her breasts wobbling every which way. "Unfortunately, Oakcraft's first wife went into hiding, and is now plotting the restoration of the Big Tibetian Dojo to it's former glory." "And how is she going to do that?" Yashiko demanded. "She doesn't have the resources or the power to do so!" Suddenly, an IM messenger beep was heard. ----- Hello Natsumi. Rug's End? What brings you to this channel? ----- "Rug's End has an IM address?" Yashiko looked at Natsumi's screen. "I want to speak with him!" "This is a private chat!" Natsumi then pushed Yashiko away with the other girl resisting. Yashiko then somehow grabbed Natsumi's breasts while the amazon did the same thing. Yashiko's hands dug deep into Natsumi's tits as titflesh oozed around Yashiko's fingers. Natsumi did the same thing as she fondled Yashiko's bosom. ----- Ohohohohohoho, seeing you are having Yashiko problems, eh? ------ Natsumi pushed Yashiko down as she resumed typing. "You want to speak to Rug's End, you'll have to get an AIM account yourself." She bent on over while her mammary glands jiggled once more. Yashiko growled. "How can he see us if you don't have a Webcam?" "I wouldn't talk if I were you, Waffle Iron Girl." Natsumi smiled. "Point taken." Yashiko nodded. ----- She wants to speak to you. Not now, I want to inform you that Seki has escaped from his prison with Oakcrafts First Wife. HOW?! She somehow slipped through security, and let him out. They are now on a campain to renew the world, and it is our job to make sure that does not happen. If it does, all of our hard work will be all for naught. We have to reforge the throne somehow, and without the prize, we can't do that. This is why I am counting on all of us to win this game, provided you get past me. What is your reason for dueling? Perhaps we can speak more in person. Oh, and tell Yashiko if she wants to meet me as well, she will have to defeat Kouto and gain the other Rosewood Keys before Seki does. Kotaro and Benma have already been deployed near his location, but we aren't sure who to root for. Rugs End out. ----- Natsumi logged out as well. She stood up with her assets jumping as she looked at Yashiko incrediously. "Well Yashiko, it seems you wish to know more about Rug's End, and who he is." "Well I have to know!" Yashiko demanded. "All I know is that he's head of this dueling grounds, and I demand to know who he is!" Natsumi smiled. "Oh you won't find Rug's End." She bent on over while her breasts wobbled within her tank top. "Sometimes, he'll find you." She wriggled her finger. "Now we have to get you home." It was then Yashiko nodded. ----- Seki was about a quarter away from Hiroto High school when he was suddenly confronted by Benma and Kotaro. "You have some nerve yearning to come back to Hiroto." Benma told Seki the current situation. "You used to be great, now look at you, just another poser who yearns to be something that can't be attained." Seki said nothing. "Nothing to say?" Benma peered in. "I must admit that you gave me a scare with that Bed trick, but how it managed to disappear right before your eyes continues to elude me." Kotaro appeared right before Seki. "Now it's time to say your prayers." He twirled around. "How did you obtain such power forever confuses us, but what happened to your honor? Your kindness? You chose to throw it all away for the means to battle, didn't you?" Seki still said nothing. He slowly drew his chair. "Silent are we?" Kotaro peered in. "You won't ever get past us, and with new powers at our disposal, nothing will stop us from reclaiming the duels as ours!" "No talk." Seki growled. "JUST DIE!!" He then rushed forward with his chair in tow. ------ BATTLE 4: SEKI AND ??????? VS. KOTARO AND BENMA ------ "Weakling...." Seki spoke as he faced his assailant. "You're no hero, and I'll show you why." Benma stepped forward with his rug in tow. ----- FIGHT!! ---- Seki made the first strike against Benma with, "RISING CHAIR FIRE!!" "Seriously, is that your tactic?" Benma scowled as he was swatted away with the chair, and countered with, "ROLLING RUG RETURN!" Seki managed to jump over the attack, and suddenly screamed out, "AIR CHAIR SLASH!" He launched the projectile as he managed to scratch even Benma with said attack. Benma leaped into the air as Seki landed as he suddenly did his, "CARPET LANCE!!" As he managed to damage even Seki with the lance. "You've improved, Benma." Seki smiled even crueler than the Fake End of the Rug could ever achieve. "It's a shame that I have to put you out of your misery." "What happened Seki?" Benma demanded. "You used to be a warrior of honor, now you tread this path of evil and madness." "Honor?" Seki got up as he faced both Benma and Kotaro. "HONOR?!" His anger started to grow. "Last time I dueled honorably, and respected my opponent, I lost horribly! I was on a losing streak ever since Natsumi, Shiro and Lumi-Baka showed up! I relied too much on the Bed, and since then, my honor has been imploded!" "What are you trying to say?" Benma glared at him. "All this time, I focused my style upholding nonsense, like honor and compassion, and where did that get me?" He glared at both Kotaro and Benma. "NOWHERE! Furniture Dueling is all about making up your own rules, and fighting ruthlessly, LIKE I SHOULD'VE BEEN DOING ALL ALONG!! Face it Benma and Kotaro, the Light Side can't save me, the Dark Side is a joke! You sought to learn of my own style, now you shall see it firsthand!" "Is he serious?" Benma talked to Kotaro. "Come on, Teddy Bear Benma!" Seki laughed like an evil mastermind. "I want to see the look on your face when I unleash this style against you!" "Yes Seki," TWFNAMO watched Seki improve. "Use your own creation to defeat Benma and Kotaro." "Not defeat..." Seki turned around. "SLAUGHTER!! I'm going to dismember them, then they won't live to see another tomorrow!" "You can't be serious!" Kotaro was freaked out. "What would happen to your reputation as a good student?" "My reputation was GONE when Natsumi and Shiro entered the picture, they were the only ones that ever beaten me!" Seki growled. "Ever since, I treaded down a path of darkness, but I converted that darkness into something sinister, something that would bring about everlasting nightmares to the whole world!!" Seki then drew his chair. "You will die for standing in my way, I swear it!" It was then that Benma charged again. This time however, it was he who was thrown back by, "RISING CHAIR FIRE!!" Benma wasn't ready to give up. "Is that all you have?" "I got worse!" Seki grinned as he called forth, "FURNITURE SPECIAL ATTACK, HYPER CROSS CHAIR SLASH!!" Suddenly, several fallen Tibetian souls began to swirl around Seki. Then, they swirled around Seki's chair, and it shown a spectral purple. After that, Seki pushed the force foward, unleashing a torrent of sonic energy, more horrible than Ijima's laughter. The sound was so awful, that Benma was forced to drop his weapon and cover his ears. "I wanted to kill you now, but I got bigger plans for Kotaro there!" Seki then activated another special attack, "FURNITURE SPECIAL ATTACK, DISABLE!" He punched Benma, sending him far from the arena. Disable is a deadly attack used only in tag team duels. When Seki strikes his opponent, the attack forces the Tag Team to switch out. Unfortunately, the attacked partner is disabled, meaning he can't be tagged in, nor can they use an Engagement attack. He later walked up to the frightened Kotaro, and said, "You say that I don't know what I was getting into when we first fought." "I confess, I try my best to keep you off our dueling ground!" Kotaro protested. "You wanted to protect the Rosewood Bride, but at the same time, you unleashed a power even Kouto can't control! Then I found a way to counter your, 'BED!' I hired Natsumi Terebi to explore your inner weaknesses!" Kotaro smiled for as long as death looms over his shoulder, at least Seki's sanity is going with him. "So..." Seki growled with infernal fumes coming out of his nostrils. "YOU LET NATSUMI INTO THE ARENA!!" "Yes! I did it!" Kotaro laughed. "I told you to stay out of our way, but you wouldn't listen! It wasn't easy to bargain with someone like her, but as long as it gets her closer to her own agenda, she is willing to go along with rubbing you out!" Kotaro then kricked his head. "If it weren't for Futon, the Bride would've belonged to Natsumi, and she can do, whatever she wants with her!" Kotato then grabbed Seki's arm. "I told you once, and I'll tell you again, stay out of our duels!" "It's too late to turn back now." Seki smiled an evil smile. "I will claim the prize, for myself. Not even you nor the rest of the student council will stop me!" "If you are trying to claim vengance against Ijima, you are too late." Kotaro turned his head. "Natsumi and Yashiko defeated her, and what's even both arousing and disgusting, Natsumi forced Ijima to kiss Natsumi's large, ample butt!" Suddenly, Seki grew angrier and angrier. "You..... You.... YOU!!!" Seki's eyes glew an infernal green. Then he dropped Kotaro and shouted out at the sky.... "TEREBI NATSUMIIIIIII!!" He slammed the ground. "SHIIIIRRROOOOOOOO TAKEZUMA!!!! You think you are high and mighty now, but once we meet on the field of battle...." Then there was a close up of Seki's face. "I will kill you, in an orgy of pure SLAUGHTER!!" The Former Mrs. Oakcraft's plan was going as accordingly as planned. "Yes." She spoke. "As of today, Seki is reborn." "Yes," Seki smiled a cruel smile that makes the Former End of the Rug's methods seem harmless. "Soon, this world will kneel before the Big Tibetian Furniture Dojo!!" It was then that Seki started to laugh insanely. "You still have to defeat us first!" Kotaro gloated as he got out his CDs to throw at Seki. "Come now, you think I would falter to such a worthless tactic?" Seki grinned even more cruelly as he faced the computer warrior. "You can't beat me then, and you will never beat me now." It was then that Kotaro and Benma charged at him. ----- "It was nice to escort me home Natsumi, even if you are a psychotic bath house attendant with lots of flab on her chest." Yashiko smiled as she was escorted by Natsumi. "Except for the last part," Natsumi began, "You're welcome." They arrived at Yashiko's house, and Yashiko knocked on the door. The door opened, and out came a beautiful woman. A woman who looks almost like Yashiko, except she was older, and much more taller and bustier than Yashiko. Her bosom bounced while she opened the door. "Who is it?" She looked at Yashiko, and she joyfully screamed, "Oh Yashiko, you're home!" She grabbed Yashiko and pulled her towards her bosom. Yashiko's head was smothered in between the woman's bosoms as she was trying to escape. "You must be Yashiko's mother." Natsumi blushed. The woman unhugged Yashiko and she bowed. "Indeed I am." Her bosom jumped while she did so. "My name is Mariko Shizuhara, it's a pleasure to meet you...." "Natsumi Terebi." She shook Mariko's hand. "Oh, the Terebi name brings so much memories back!" Mariko blushed. "Your mother and I used to be rivals in high school, but now we have become best of friends!" She took Natsumi's hands as she smiled again. "Are you going to stay for dinner?" "That's okay," Natsumi began. "I really got to get going. I wanted Yashiko to be safe and sound." "Well thank you again, Natsumi!" Mariko waved back as she smiled. Natsumi left the area as she turned her head towards Yashiko. "Your friend is quite nice, I wonder why we don't meet very often." "We'll talk when we get inside." Yashiko lead her mother inside. Natsumi walked away while she began her journey home. She sighed, knowing she has a trek ahead of her. Her teleportation powers can only do so much, but even that has to recharge every now and then. Why does Kotaro carry so much electronics? "Well well, escorting the scoundrel home? I expected you to be more loyal than that." "Shiro!" Natsumi turned around and as she did, her bosom bounced and swayed with her. "What do you know about my partnership with Yashiko?" "Everyone saw the battle, Natsumi." Shiro snuck out of the shadows while he watched Natsumi. "You know your plan's going to backfire sooner or later." "So why have you been following me for the past few minutes?" Natsumi demanded. "Your old friend and rival Kotaro and that teddy bear Benma has locked into battle with Seki and Oakcraft's first wife. If he has the Rosewood Keys from them, we'd don't know what we'd do against such odds." "Leave that to me." Natsumi powerposed while her bosom jumped. "I'll get those Rosewood Keys faster than I can surf my TV!" She ran off with her butt bouncing along and teleported along. "Natsumi, wait!" Shiro screamed as he fussed out. 'Those Rosewood Keys will be mine sooner or later! Not even Natsumi will stop me from obtaining what is rightfully mine!' It was then that Shiro maniacally laughed. ----- Benma was slammed down as he was defeated once again by Seki. Kotaro on the other hand, was terrified at the transformed Seki. "I tried everything, computer mouses, monitors, keyboards, internet memes, nothing's working!" "Give up, you will never defeat me no matter how advanced you think you are." Seki walked closer and closer. It was then that Kotaro ran right into a tree. He was knocked unconcious as Seki laughed and laughed. Seki grinned as he saw two shiny keys come out of the bosoms of Benma and Kotaro respectively. Mrs. Oakcraft nodded as well. "Two of the Rosewood Keys are obtained." She spoke. "Now two remain in order to open the Rosewood Palace, and claim what is rightfully ours." "One more key, Yashiko and Terebi has the other one." Seki corrected. "Your son will have no choice but to rightfully call you mother, and that runt Lumi-Chan will be purged from this realm!" Seki laughed as he has the keys in his hand. "All that's left is to claim the other key, and victory will be mine!" Seki was about to laugh insanely, when a portal opened. Natsumi emerged from the portal, dressed up in her armor, and with her enormous breasts bouncing as she walked in. Her breasts were pushed in to make their tops like muffins. It was quite sexy to look at. "What's this about the power being yours?" Seki was shocked as blood came out of his nose. "SEKI!" Mrs. Oakcraft demanded. "What is the meaning of this?" Even though she sounded angry, she kept her expert level poker face. "I'll tell you, the Former Mrs. Oakcraft!" Terebi smiled as she placed her hands on her hips. Her giant bosom bounced up and down, forcing Seki to be pinned even further. "When I heard Kotaro's screams of help and mercy, I had to come here, and claim the Rosewood Keys myself!" She pointed a finger to the sky. "Do you even know why the Engagement Matches were even created?" "Humor me." Seki growled while trying to take his eyes off Natsumi's overflowing bosom. "I'll tell you!" She bent on over while her assets followed suit, and swung. "In celebration of Pride's demise at the hands of Akai and Kouto, The True Rug's End has allowed all fighters to battle with a buddy, hence the Engagement Battles were born. Both he and Kumayama escalated the battles so both partners can combine their special attacks and defeat the enemy! Of course, this is all too complicated for a simpleton like you to understand." Natsumi arched back up while her bosom jumped once more. It wobbled while she did so. "Hand over the Rosewood Keys, and I'll be on my way." "And if I say no?" Seki asked. He staggered while trying to regain his balance against the overflowing mountains of Natsumi. "How can you say no to a lovely woman with big, soft, beautiful breasts?" Natsumi crossed her arms and squashed her large breasts while hefting them up and down. They bounced and jiggled while she did so. "Besides, wouldn't you rather have a date with bountiful me instead of that Flat-Chested Lumi, incest minded Yashiko, and creepy Kaede?" Seki was furious now. He tried to attack, but couldn't, being forced back by the aura around Terebi's magnificent breasts. Those, giant, jiggly and squishy boobs. How could they get so big, much less exist. He tried to fight back, but as Natsumi said in an earlier part, one look at those natural, massive boobs will reduce even the smartest man into a stuttering idiot. "Oh, and as for Vanity, she's Yashiko's plaything, able to do anything she tells her to!" Terebi clasped her hands on her face and blushed. "I can't believe all the naughty things that Yashiko will do to Vanity behind my back!" Seki wanted to start this battle, but couldn't, due to his lust for Natsumi's assets. He was flung back, and the thought of Yashiko and Vanity..... Well he just fell down. "As for you, The Former Mrs. Oakcraft..." Natsumi smiled as she looked at the former wife of Venerable Master Oakcraft. "I wouldn't try to attack me because of the power I possess. So what if you are a master of Isujitsu? My television furniture style will turn your own strategy against you, and with the power of the Wrong Side of the Bed at my command, you can't hope to defeat me!" With that the two Rosewood Keys emerged from Seki and floated toward Natsumi's hand. Mrs. Oakcraft couldn't believe it. Seki was beaten by Natsumi, and Natsumi didn't even have to use her hands, feet, or television sets. Terebi grabbed the keys and smiled. "Now that makes three keys I own." She gloated. "Only one more remains, and the power will belong to me!" She laughed and laughed as she entered the Dark Portal. Her bosom bounced and jiggled while she did so. She turned around, and gloated again. "Do you wish to pursue me, or try to get Seki back on his feet?" She winked an eye. "The choice is yours, Mrs. Oakcraft. You only have time for one." It was then she disappeared. It was then Mrs. Oakcraft walked over to Seki and looked at him trying to regain his stature. "Get up! We have to be ready when Ikea arrives! He will be displeased if he finds out if the Prize is already theirs!" Seki snapped out of his stupor as he looked at Mrs. Oakcraft. "Master Ikea is arriving here?" "Yes, he is." Mrs. Oakcraft stood up. Seki did the same. "We can't afford to get careless in this time of need, we must prepare ourselves for the ultimate plan." "What is this, ultimate plan?" Seki asked. "I will tell you in due time." Mrs. Oakcraft scolded in her emotionless tone. "Right now we have to get ready for the coming storm." It was then that Seki agreed with her. ------ Meanwhile, back at the Big Tibetian Dojo, Ikea was not in a good mood. He was angry, in an emotionless type of way. "What's taking Seki so long? He should've had gotten the prize about now." Unbeknowest to him, Queen Radiance is watching him from a corner of wall. "I'm sorry master," A monk spoke to him pleading for his life. "The Dark Warriors are slowing him down, as well as a Light Warrior in Japan." He tried to shield himself from the attack, but Ikea then responded, "A Light Warrior? In Japan?" Ikea scratched his chin. "This bodes ill for age old tradition. Tell me, who is this Light Warrior that bars the way for my title?" "Well, her name is Yashiko Shizuhara, the woman that Seki is currently staying with." The monk knelt and knelt. "The fool!" Ikea screamed. "She will ruin everything! Age old tradition will be destroyed by delinquency! I will personally meet this Yashiko myself, and tell her to stand down before she destroys our chance to save this world from destruction!" Ikea then walked towards the door. Queen Radiance was shocked. Ikea wasn't himself today, and any other day. Ever since that Seki was slow in delivering the prize to the Big Tibetian Dojo, and Yashiko taking the reigns to keep the promise being made, Radiance can only wonder what is happening to Ikea. How will they ever have their children now? "You seem disconsolate, Radiance." Oakcraft appeared right behind her. "Oh father," Queen Radiance was in tears. "Ikea hasn't been himself for the last few days. He keeps rambling on about a prize and a perfect utopia for our children. I'm worried about him." "He's still upset about his loss against Morticus at the end of the tournament." Oakcraft consoled his daughter in law. "Even though we've won the tournament, we paid a terrible price. Ikea's scars refuse to heal, both mentally and physically, and I fear at one point, he will go insane." "YOU'RE HIS FATHER!!" Queen Radiance demanded. "But you're his wife to be." Oakcraft countered. "You're his voice of reason now, and we must do something to heal those scars." "What can we do?" Queen Radiance demanded again. "Only one thing we can do." Oakcraft gave Radiance a hug. "We can only hope that this Yashiko can do better than we can." ----- "What's taking Benma and Kotaro so long?" Kouto was angry at the results of Kotaro and Benma's blundering. "They should've killed Brother Seki about now." He was storming across the living room in the Nakajima Manor. "Come on now," Arkhio slithered in. "He could be more useful to us alive than dead." His warbler pet squacked while it did so. "Then how do you explain that damned Angel Statue of Utablea Kumayama in the small park?" Kouto demanded. "It's all because of Seki that Utablea's dead, and now he's working with some accomplices! I don't know what to do anymore!" "There is something you could do." Arkhio grinned as he looked at Kouto. "You already have Lumi-chan under your belt, and if that promise is destroyed, Yashiko will be your own Rosewood Bride!" "You still haven't answered my question about Seki." Kouto growled. "What could be said about Seki?" Arkhio continued to slither in. "He's quite the puppet hero, and he takes his movelist after Yarslov and Ikea. What does he hope to accomplish after he sets the Rosewood Bride free? Go back to Tibet? Live with Yashiko? Finally have permission to kill Lumi-Chan? None of the above." He shook his head. "His master yearns for something more, and he will try to deliver the prize unto him. His scars from his battle with Morticus has a lot to say about his motives, but at the same time, Seki wishes for something more." "What are you trying to say?" Kouto demanded. "Kotaro and Benma have failed in their attempt to kill Seki, and what's better, for the Dark Warriors at least, Natsumi interviened and took the Rosewood Keys." Arkhio did a cruel grin. "She has three keys now, and yours is the last one." It was then that Kouto screamed at the top of his lungs. His voice can be heard all over the manor. "She shares them with Yashiko, so she might be a problem for you." Arkhio smiled. "You love her, you seduced almost every girl on campus, and were you happy with the results? I take your burst of anger as a no. They don't love you Kouto, but they do lust for you." "I love Yashiko with all my heart!" Kouto countered. "Would it help that practice makes perfect?" "And how will Yashiko react for this campain?" Arkhio continued to smile a very cruel smile. "She will hate you, she will loathe you, you will never have the chance to marry her. Is that what you want from her, your hand in marriage?" "Yes, yes I do!" Kouto was enraged now. "Then continue your tactic about turning Lumi-chan against her and the engagement partner." Arkhio hissed. "You have the last key they need to open the gates to the Absolution Duel, and you must not lose it, for your sake!" It was then Arkhio slithered back into the shadows. Kouto frowned at Arkhio's plan. "I don't know what you're up to, Rug's End," He began. "But rest assured, I will win the day, and not even my ex-girlfriend will stop me!" ------ "So, Kouto's the last one?" Kumayama watched Arkhio slither back into the Arkhio-mobile. "Indeed, we are running out of time, and who knows what the four families are planning." Arkhio drove the car. "So are The Light Warriors." Kumayama smiled. "I will deal with Kaede-sensei and Futon myself. My powers have grown quite stronger since I last fought, and with these new vampiric powers, no one will stop me, not even Yashiko herself!" "Ah yes, Kaede-sensei, the perfect test subject." Arkhio can only smile with the wind on his back. "I want you to wear him out, crush his ability to fight, do you understand?" "With pleasure, Arkhio." Suddenly, Kumayama-sensei's eyes glowed a vampiric red. ------ NEXT TIME ON FWX: Will Yashiko defeat the true power of Kouto? Will she know of Rug's End's true identity? How can she face Lumi-chan of all places? What does Ikea have to do with anything? Can anyone other than Ryunson sign up? All this and more on the next exciting episode: The Last Coatrack Attack! OR Will the Real Rug's End, Please Stand Up? ------ Author's Notes: Okay, I admit this thing wasn't preread through and through, but there comes a time in which I too became a harsher critic of my own work than anyone can hope to aspire to. Introducing the mothers of both Yashiko and Terebi was a good move in my opinion, but they appeared late in the story. Maybe because with this fic ending, and no other starter sweeps going on, I think we can resolve this quickly before more complication fits in with another sequel. Hopefully we can see more of Tsuzuki in either the conclusion of this story, or 2001 Dark Tournament. The most controversial move I am going to make is making Ikea a villain type character. Reason being is that in a starter I plan on making, after the tournament, Morticus fought him and destroyed his sign, and both physically and emotionally scaring Ikea. It didn't appear in FW because we thought everything was going to be resolved in that one. How wrong we were. Oh, and I'm sorry that the Benma and Kotaro fights were a little anti-climatic, but there's too much going on here to cover everything. with only 5 to 4 parts remaining, plus the ending, I don't think I'll be able to cover enough ground. More to come, if anyone other than me signs up for the next one. Ryunson (lordryansen@yahoo.com)
