Entry Title: Make Up Your Mind



"All right, I think it's time we settled this thing once and for all."



"Um... s-settle what, Soji-kun?"



"Our relationship. Believe it or not, there are some people who are still under the impression that this hasn't been made crystal clear. I don't know why this is so difficult for them, but I REFUSE to end up like Rednal, waffling around and totally unable to make up his mind. Or worse, like Zeo."



"Hold it right there, senpai! I think you're making a big mistake!"



"...?"



"What's a relationship without some drama to keep it interesting? Trust me, I know how people think. Once you give them the goods, it'll be over and done with, and they'll move on to something else. You have to keep them interested by showing development, but never entirely resolving it and just giving them everything they want."



"Wait, are you talking about swimsuit magazines or soap operas?"



"Yes."



"Rise, I think a little stability in life is a good thing. There are always new things to explore, and even I would have a hard time with a major relationship drama AND saving the world at the same time."



"YOU'RE on my side, right, Yukiko?"



"What? Why?"



"What if he doesn't pick you? What you need is more time to show him your girlish charm and help him settle on a decision!"



"But you just said he shouldn't actually make a deci-"



"Is that a risk you're willing to take?"



"..."



"Not you, too. Are we really doing this?"



"I'm sorry, Soji-kun... but you know, it's not like relationship drama has to be bad drama."



".............."



"Think of it as a chance to cool down and relax when you're not saving the world! I mean, it's a good excuse to go on a few dates, right?"



"Exactly! I mean, our relationship is important, but dating a girl and dating a girl are two completely different things... and there's no reason to rush our relationship. Let's just leave it as it is for now... and once things have settled down, then we can resolve it."



"But it's already been resol-"



*Staaaaaare*



*Staaaaaare*



"Okay, okay, I get it. v.v Mild relationship drama it is. Just promise me one thing - if I ever start acting like Zeo or Rednal, deck me."



"Right."

Entry Title: The Final Boss

For just a moment, the air was still - then an inferno roared down from above, melting straight through the barricades that the police had thrown up in a desperate effort to stop the assault of the oncoming figure. Like everything else they'd tried, it accomplished nothing other than slowing down the target - and the humans hiding behind them screamed as the flesh was scorched from their bones.

Thirty feet away, Kyouji Kuzunoha winced slightly. She regretted their deaths, but there wasn't anything she could do about it... except prevent any more deaths from this rampaging demon. Her fingers toyed with her Tubes for just a moment before she darted out to confront the demon, silvery tools in hand.

"Hua Po! Tam Lin!" she called, snapping their caps open. In a flash of green light, the two well-trained demons appeared and took up positions on either side of her as she looked at the demon.

It was... smaller than she'd expected.

"You've had your fun, demon, but if you don't stop on your own... then on the name of Kyouji Kuzunoha, I will make you stop." she said. Still, recognition flickered in the back of her mind... why was this familiar? Shoot, if she could just place it...

"GRAAAAAAAAAAH!" the tiny demon's voice was far stronger than anyone would have expected from such a small thing, and she followed it up by exhaling a massive stream of ice. Kyouji flipped backwards as the attack came in, completely dodging it even as Tam Lin raised his sphere to defend. The Hua Po wasn't quite so lucky, and let out a shriek as she vanished back into magnetite.

"Guess we're doing this the hard way..." Kyouji muttered, snapping another Tube open. "Futsunushi!" At her command, the god of swords appeared, and raised an interested eye at the demon his master had chosen to fight. "Bring her down!" the Kuzunoha ordered. Tam Lin was the first to respond to her commands, and a roar of electricity came off the end of his spear as he sent a Ziodyne right into the little demoness' body. Futsunushi followed a moment later, sending out an even more powerful wave of energy that struck the target dead-center and quite literally sent her flying backwards.

Before their very eyes, though, they could see the wounds rapidly starting to heal... which explained why nobody had been able to take her down. The little demoness let out another cry a moment later.

"BEAST FORM!" she bellowed - and her body abruptly multiplied in size. Her physical body was the most obvious change, going in seconds from that of a preteen child to a fully grown adult - but it wasn't the only change. Enormous black horns erupted out of her forehead, even as heavy pauldrons covered her shoulder and the armor she was wearing grew to a bulkier form. Before Kyouji could even react, the demoness had charged forward and grabbed Tam Lin by one of his legs. Lifting him clear off of the ground, she whipped him around and slammed him head-first into the pavement before hurling him at Futsunushi. If he hadn't had such good resistance to physical blows, it might not have been so easy to withstand her attack.

"Don't let up!" Kyouji snapped - and both Tam Lin and Futsunushi took powerful stances as they began to charge their energy, intending to hit the target as hard as they could. It was too little and too late, though - the demoness opened her mouth again, and before the warriors could finish gathering their power, a stream of almighty energy erupted out of her mouth and poured over the area. Tam Lin's body shattered for just a moment before his resurrection spell kicked in, bringing him back to full strength... but unfortunately bereft of the charge he'd been building. Futsunushi grunted a moment later, injured but alive, and hurled another blast of Primal Force into the target's body.

Unfortunately, now that more damage was being done, Kyouji could see that physical attacks weren't doing much. Scowling, she snapped her tubes open and recalled the warriors, flipping out another pair of demons instead. "Leanan Sidhe! Ishtar!" she called. As the first appeared, she waved one hand, and a burst of confusing energy shot across the battlefield - only to break against the target's body. Ishtar clenched one hand a moment later, summoning up her divine power - and lightning roared down from the heavens, ripping across the battlefield and into their foe.

With an angry cry, the berserk demon charged forward, spearing Leanan Sidhe right through the chest with her enormous horns. Kyouji spat out a curse, even as Ishtar continued to call divine retribution on the target. When the barrage finally finished, the massive body let off no small amount of steam as it bent forward slightly. Even after all this, it was continuing to heal at a terrifyingly rapid pace - easily among the highest Kyouji had ever seen, and she'd seen a lot of hard-to-kill foes in her time.

"Grr... hrr... ABOMINATION FORM!" the target howled - and Kyouji's eyes widened as the target changed again, lengthening into a bestial form. Fangs erupted from her mouth, and the armor continued to grow and cover her body even as three tails burst out from behind. Dark energy glittered around her fingers a moment later, just a second before a beam of darkness shot across the battlefield and crashed into Ishtar. It was too much for the summoned spirit to handle, and Kyouji frowned again.

...It was time to start taking this battle seriously.

"Macha! Sandalphon!" she cried, calling forth two of her strongest summons. The glittering angel and the spirit of roses stood beside her, undaunted by the fearsome power the demoness had displayed. Macha was the first to act, raising one hand and sending a wave of Debilitation into the raging demon. Sandalphon followed with a burst of light, but that broke against the demoness and looked no more effective than the attempt at an ailment had been.

"Kill... EVERYONE!" the demoness howled, sending out another blast of darkness from her fingers. Sandalphon took the blow this time, and grunted as the energy washed over him, but he was no weakling - and he managed to push through it with pure power.

"WHY!? What's driving you to these lengths!?" Kyouji asked as Macha raised her hands and sent a barrage of almighty energy crashing into the bestial demoness. Sandalphon followed a moment later, striking so hard with his sword that the demoness crashed through two walls and came out the other side of the building. She shot back to the fight a moment later, looking like little more than a blur as she zig-zagged around the battlefield and crashed into Macha - who, unlike Sandalphon, was actually vulnerable to physical blows. Kyouji's most beloved demon groaned in pain, and Kyouji couldn't quite suppress a pang of empathy for her companion.

"Lord... Seo..." the target growled - and the memories came flooding back. That's right, there had been a report about a little demon the Taihaku demon clan had rescued, but none of it had predicted this. "If all of you hadn't... pushed him so much... he might still be alive! YOU TOOK LORD SEO FROM ME, SO I'M GOING TO TAKE EVERYTHING FROM YOU!" Fina's bestial hands grabbed onto Macha's neck, and almighty energy surged through her body and out of her throat as she poured all the power she could onto Kyouji's prized demon. The power overflowed, moving across the battlefield to strike both Sandalphon and Kyouji as well.

Of course, the favored companion of a Kuzunoha was no weakling - and even after all of that, Macha endured... and struck back, hitting the bestial body over and over again. Sandalphon crashed into Fina, knocking her off of his companion with a powerful blow, and still the demoness continued to heal. Her rate of regeneration was insane, and Kyouji paled slightly as Fina sent a surge of healing energy through herself, fixing all of her wounds. Admittedly, that spell was a useful one, but for an enemy to be using it at a time like this...

"These people had nothing to do with that! Don't blame them for the actions of others!" she called, desperately hoping this demoness could be convinced to see reason. She didn't really want to have to kill her, but... she was increasingly worried there might be no other choice. With a snap of her wrist, she recalled Macha, bringing back Futsunushi (who was better position to endure anything Fina tossed out).

"It's your whole filthy society! Lord Seo was the greatest, and I can't forgive any of you for taking him away from me!"

That settled it, then - she was completely mad and unwilling to listen to reason. Even as her own demons launched a renewed assault, though, a few more lights could be seen from above... and two white-haired figures with fox ears landed on the ground next to Kyouji. The male laughed awkwardly as he rubbed the back of his head.

"I, ah, I'm sorry for the mess our Fina is causing. She's just a child, you see, and very distraught..."

"Child or not, I can't allow her to hurt innocent people." Kyouji answered, looking Honto Teki-Taihaku straight in the eyes. "Are you going to make yourself useful or not?"

"Please rest assured - stopping her is our intention as well." Shiranui said, bowing slightly. She raised one hand a moment later and lightly flicked it - what followed was an almost apocalyptic blast of flames that rushed over Fina's body, and it was followed by a similarly-powerful blast of wind from Honto. Even Fina's regeneration couldn't keep up with that kind of damage so easily, and for the first time, Kyouji felt like they were actually making headway. Well... gift horses, mouths, not looking in same.

(Said nobody who'd actually been given a gift horse, but still.)

Another blast of almighty energy rippled through the battlefield a moment later, striking all of Fina's foes and blowing them backwards. Sandalphon wasn't quite able to endure that blow, but Futsunushi was still alive and kicking, if looking rather badly hurt at this point.

"Settle down, you stupid girl!" Honto cried, summoning a fist of divine power and bringing it straight down on Fina's head. "This isn't going to help anybody!"

"If you're... protecting them... then you're a traitor!" Fina shrieked, clutching her head. Shiranui didn't waste the opportunity, and another wave of devastating fire poured over Fina's body.

"Fina, if you keep on like this, I'm going to grow upset." Shiranui said firmly... and for just a moment, Fina paused. Even now, that was a threat worth taking seriously... but a moment later, her claws began to gouge deep grooves in the asphalt beneath her, and she shot forward to tackle Honto. A small drop began to form in his hand even as she began to viciously shake her head (and him with it) back and forth.

Trust in her regenerative powers may have been misplaced, though - even as Honto charged his magic, Shiranui let out a loud howl that parted the clouds above to reveal the moon, and its light shined down to energize her. A moment later, the two demons attacked with everything they had - Shiranui's Meltdown boosted by the power of her Moon Call, and the Leviathan's Great Tide from Honto, which he launched straight into Fina's mouth to blast her from the inside. Futsunushi didn't miss the timing, and came in behind the other two attacks to strike with a charged Primal Force of his own. Fina's elongated body went tumbling backwards, freeing Honto as she crashed and rolled several times.

For just a moment, Kyouji thought she was down for the count - then Fina's body began to rapidly heal all of its injuries, and in moments, she looked like she hadn't even been hit. Instead of continuing the assault, though, her body just tensed slightly... then morphed back into her childlike form.

"Hic... hic... WAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Tears began pouring down Fina's face, and the tension went out of Shiranui's body as well as she bustled over and picked Fina up. "L-Lord Seo... Lord Seo was..."

"I'm- *COUGH COUGH* not dead yet!" A tall figure wrapped in enough bandages to make a mummy jealous staggered out of the shadows, held aloft mostly by a slender but powerful-looking blade. "Ah, Lady Kyouji, hello. I'm *HACK* terribly sorry for my subordinate's rampage. I believe she was under the impression that I, ah, had been killed by some assassins."

"The b-b-blood..." Fina stammered out.

"That was mine, and I may have, um, fallen unconscious afterwards, it may have looked like someone killed me... come on, Fina, I'm not going to leave you alone quite yet." Her body had reverted, but Fina was nearly as fast as before as she darted across the area and tackled Seo, wrapping her small arms around him in a tight, fierce blood. Seo coughed out another pint or so of blood, straining to keep a smile on his face despite the tightness of her grip. "Fina... strength... seriously, loosen up or I really will die..." her grip eased, and Kyouji just sighed heavily as the lord of the Taihaku clan began to escort his little companion away. Shiranui went with them - Honto, on the other hand, just looked up at the Kuzunoha.

"...What?"

"You're pretty lucky, you know. That wasn't even her final form. I know you're one of the Great Summoners and all, and you're used to commanding demons like us... but don't underestimate us. We are the spirits of this world, and even for people like you, we won't knuckle under so easily." The trickster god tipped his head slightly, then stepped into the shadows and vanished, leaving Kyouji alone with the devastation of the battle and the thoughts inside her mind.

Quietly, Kyouji slid the blades she'd hidden within her sleeves back into their sleeves. It was... nice... that she hadn't actually had to kill a child tonight... and she could only hope they'd never force her to in the future.
