Part 2

The Madness Continues

Yuu wakes up the next morning feeling Groggy from last night's fiasco. He sits up on his bed and thinks about the events that happened the night before. A young woman dressed in old fashioned Japanese clothes threatened his life with a sword. And a child wearing a fancy red dress waving around a decorated rod claiming to be a warrior of justice. None of it makes any sense to him, so he thought that he just had a wacky dream from all the alcohol he drank last night.

That afternoon, he goes back to the Chiffon Tailor shop to pick up his clothes. As he enters the shop, he jumps out of fright to see something very familiar. The back of a young woman with very long blue hair in a twin braided ponytail that almost reaches the floor. But this time, she is not wearing a Shinto priest outfit. She has on a grayish blue shirt, matching plaid long skirt, and blue sandals with a pair of dark green socks. Even though her hairstyle is not very common, he is not sure that this was the same girl that attacked him last night.

Yuu approaches her slowly without trying to excite her. He then asks, "hello? Do you work here?" The girl turns around and faces Yuu. Yuu's eyes widen, and his skin turns pale as soon as he sees her face. The blue eyes and rounded face matched Samurai Princess exactly. The hair, facial features, body type, everything except the clothing matched Samurai Princess exactly.

Yuu becomes terrified, he then jumps back and shields himself yelling, "I didn't do anything wrong! I swear! I was just picking up some clothes, that's all! Please have mercy!"

The young girl tilted her head to the side in confusion, she has no idea what he was talking about. It doesn't take Yuu very long to notice that she isn't reacting at all. He slowly opened his eyes again, and takes a look at what's happening. The first thing Yuu notices is expression on her face. Rather than angry blue eyes and a vengeful frown, she now has a sleepy and depressed expression instead. Yuu knows that this is the same girl as last night, but she doesn't look like she was capable of doing harm to others.

"Hey, are you OK? Samurai Princess?" Yuu dares himself to ask. She picks her head back up, but she still looked confused. Yuu then decids to get a closer look at her. He passes his hand over her face, but there isn't any reaction. Yuu knows that she can see him, but it's almost like if she doesn't even have a soul. He was still very sure that she is Samurai Princess, but he can't figure out why is she so different from last night. It's almost freaking him out.

Yuu places his hand on his chin, and thinks for a moment. "I don't get it. . . Could this be another girl after all? Is there like a twin running around in the village?"

"She can't speak to you," said Juli, surprising him from behind. Yuu jumped out of shock. He suddenly appeared behind Yuu without him noticing. Yuu was concentrating on the girl so much, that he blocked out the rest of the world for a moment.

However, Yuu very confused about what Juli just told him. Since it seemed that he knows something about her, Yuu decided to ask some questions. "Do you know this girl?"

"Her name is Kotomi, she hasn't said a word to anyone since she moved to Waffle Town several years ago." answered Juli.

"Are you sure? She was talking pretty clearly to me last night," asked Yuu in a surprised tone.

"You must be thinking about someone else," snapped Juli. "You see, when she was younger, kids used to bully her all the time. Eventually, she lost the will to speak to anyone. There is no way that she could have spoken to you last night."

Yuu takes another close look at her. No matter what he wants to believe, he is sure that this is the same girl that attacked him last night. "Are you sure? Last night, she had on this strange dress on, and carried a big sword! Her face, her hair, everything matches her, there's no way I could have confused her for someone else."

Juli suddenly places his hand on Yuu's shoulder, and made a very serious face. This makes Yuu quite nervous, so he keeps quiet to listen to what he had to say to him. "Listen to me. Forget about what happened last night. You were having a strange nightmare, and you met someone that looks like the person in your dream. This girl works for me, and I protect her like if she was a member of my own family. So please, do not upset her in any way. Am I making myself very clear?"

Yuu trembles in fear. The look on Juli's face is so serious, it almost looks like a mother bear protecting her young. If Yuu says or does anything that may upset him, he may just get bitten. So he nods and says, "uh. . . Yeah, sure. . . Anything you say."

Since Kotomi was no threat anymore, he decides to ignore what happened last night. He turned to Kotomi and apologizes to her. Kotomi's expression does not change, and Yuu wonders if she even understands what he is saying. Juli then hugs everyone cheerfully, and says, "okay, now that we've all made up, let's get you into your new clothes!"

Juli then goes to the back to get Yuu's clothes. As he waits, he takes another look at Kotomi. Her expression hasn't changed at all, still blank and confused. She seemed like she doesn't have any emotion at all, good or bad. Juli then comes back out with some clothing piled in his arms. He placed them on Yuu's hands, and pointed to a door on the side of the room. "The changing room is over there. Please try them on, I can't wait to see you in your beautiful handmade clothes."

Besides how much Juli was smiling, the way he was using the word "beautiful" to describe the clothes he handed Yuu makes him feel a bit awkward. But he goes into the changing room anyway and tries on his clothes. As he dresses himself, he becomes quite impressed at how well they fit him. The measurements Juli took yesterday are perfect. After changing, he walks out and shows Juli and Kotomi how he looks.

The way Juli swings his body around at the sight of his new clothes makes Yuu feel a bit embarrassed. Kotomi just looks at Yuu with the same blank expression as when he came into the shop. By the way that they reacted, Yuu can't tell whether his clothes were suitable or questionable.

"Oh yes! Just simply beautiful! You look like a young and manly farmer with those clothes! So fabulous, you'll have all the women wrapped around your fingers!" cheered Juli.

"Yuu's face turns red as he says, "uhh, great. . . Fabulous. . . Thank you very much Juli".

Juli shakes his head no, and says, "now, now. All I did was help design the clothes. Kotomi here did most of the work."

Yuu is very surprised to hear that. Kotomi appears like she is not capable of doing anything, let alone tailor some clothes for him. So he turned to Kotomi and thanks her as he bows. Juli wraps his arm around Kotomi and pinches her cheek. "Isn't she great? She's not too big on chatting. But when it comes to needles and threads, she's a real killer!" Yuu laughs nervously at Juli's odd choice of words.

"By the way, I wonder where's my other girl at?" Juli comments.

"Other?" asked Yuu. He thinks for a secon, then remembers that Juli did mention that there are two girls working for the Tailor shop.

Juli nods and says, "Yes, there were two girls working on your clothes. She was here before you came in, but she disappeared. I was hoping you would thank her too, it's not like her to vanish when we have guests."

"I see, I'll make sure that I'll thank her next time I come by." Yuu once again thanks Juli and Kotomi for the clothing. He is very relieved to get out of there as soon as he could, but he knows that he will have to come back often. As strange the people who work at the Chiffon tailor shop is, this is the life he decided to live and getting along with the locals is part of the job.

"Hey there!" said a high pitched yet familiar voice. The sudden voice that comes from behind Yuu surprises him. He turns around, and from around the corner of the shop stepped out a small girl. She was barely four feet tall, and wore a very light pink dress and matching shoes. She carries a black stuffed rabbit with a light pink bonnet on it's head. She had very light purple hair tied to the sides like puffy curly pigtails decorated with small flowers.

She smiled at Yuu as she greeted herself. "It's nice to see you again. And you don't look like you got hurt either."

Yuu was very confused, he had no idea why she was acting like she knew him. He ponts at himself and asks, "excuse me. But have we met before?"

The little girl laughs and says, "I knew you wouldn't recognize me." She then pulls out a red feathered mask from her pocket and places it on her face. "Now do you recognize me?"

Yuu gasped as he finally realizes who the girl is. "You're that crazy kid from last night!" he exclaims.

She suddenly grows instantly angry. Yuu quickly noticed this, and stepped back like if an atomic bomb was going to explode. "I AM NOT A KID!!!" she yelled to the top of her lungs.

The way she yelled at him, it almost feels like if fire was coming out of her mouth. Yuu was so shocked at how angry she became in such a short time that he fell on the floor landing on his rear. She turned around with a frown on her face, but she couldn't stay angry with him, he doesnt know her situation yet. "I may look like this, but I am in fact 16 years old."

"Wait, sixteen? . . ." Yuu can not believe what he had just heard. He stands up, and takes another look at her. She is about half his size, and she is wearing the clothing of an 8 year old girl. The stuffed rabbit isn't helping much either. However since he knows that she is the same girl who helped him yesterday, he has a lot of questions to ask.

He clears his throat, and asks, "uhh. . . Magical Warrior Ruby? What in the world happened yesterday?"

She stares at him, but she still looks a bit annoyed. She then says, "my real name is Rumi, please remember that." Finally, she walks off saying, "let's take a walk, we have a lot to talk about."

She walks into the road, and follows it towards another shop in the village. Yuu knows that if he wants answers, he has to do what the petite teenager tells him. Rumi was silent for a minute as she walks, but then she started her odd explanation of the events of last night. "I'm sure you met Kotomi already. She normally can't talk to anyone because of what happened when she was younger. But at night, she adopts a different personality, completely opposite from her usual self. The next day, she doesn't remember what she did the night before. Call it a rare case of split personality if you have to. So, someone needs to make sure that she doesn't hurt anyone. I was the one assigned to keep an eye on her at night."

"Um, why you? Couldn't they get another person more capable to handle the situation, like the police or something?" Yuu asked.

"Where do you think you're at?" asked Rumi. "There is no police in Waffle Town. Besides, she is my sister after all."

Yuu suddenly stops out of shock. Rumi notices that Yuu stopped following her, so she turns around and checks on him. After taking a closer look at Rumi, he does notices a family resemblance. Mostly in the facial features and blue eyes. He begins to sweat bullets as he asks, "you're her sister? Are you kidding me? Last night, you almost killed each other!!"

Rumi sighs sadly, and says, "I guess we do get a bit carried away last night. But because of her personality change, she doesn't recognize me at all."

Yuu thinks for a moment. What Rumi is telling him is kinda making sense. He has never met someone with a case of split personality before. But there are still things he doesn't understand about the situation. So he continues to ask, "why do you both have to dress up at night? Is there some type of meaning to that?"

Rumi sighs once again, and says, "Lets continue walking." As they walk, Rumi remained quiet for another minute. Answering Yuu's questions are not easy, but he does deserve some sort of explanation of what's happening. "that dress my sister wears. It's something that our mother left her, right before she died. When she wears it, she does become a little bit more confident, but it reminds her of mother too much. I guess the painful memories, and trying to fulfill the family's duties can be a bit much for her, and that's when her second personality was born."

"I see," said Yuu in a sad tone. Yuu has never suffered the loss of a family member as close as a parent, so he doesn't know how it feels. "I'm sorry about your mother. It must be hard on you both to lose a parent." But even though he got a proper explanation of Kotomi's dress, he has a hard time believing that Rumi's dress was for the same reason. "But. . . What's the deal with your dress?" he asked.

Rumi tilts her head up and says, "I think it looks super cute. Since my sister dresses up at night, I thought that I should too. It's called cosplay!"

That wasn't an answer Yuu was expecting. He thought that she would tell him about another tragic story that makes her wear a red dress and mask. But she only wears it for self amusement rather than obligation. "I designed that dress myself. Took me a while to complete it too. If I had my sister's help, I could have done it much faster, but I needed to learn to be a good tailor just like Kotomi."

Yuu then quickly remembers that Juli mentioned that Rumi also helped in making the clothes Yuu wears. "Speaking of that, Juli told me that you also helped make my clothes. Thank you very much."

Rumi smiles and says, "I didn't do much. Just sew a few buttons, and pin some fabric down. My sister did most of the work. She's so much better than I am at this type of thing than I will ever be."

Rumi suddenly stops in front of the Kirch in, Yuu also stops behind her. He scratched his head in confusion wondering why the sudden stop. "Why are we at the Kirch Inn?" he asks.

Rumi looks at him, and says, "why do you think? Because I saved you last night, you could at least treat me to some cake." She then runs in giggling like a child. Yuu couldn't believe at how unrealistic the situation was.

Yuu sighs and says, "for a 16 year old, she sure does act like the age she appears. . . Well, I might as well accept that as being part of the community rather than argue about it." He then walks in the Kirch Inn and treats Rumi to come cake. As they sit together, the other villagers are looking at him strangely. They all knew Rumi's true age, but it looked like if Yuu was on a date with a child. People were starting to question if Yuu had a lolita complex. All Yuu could do is hide his face out of embarrassment.

A couple of nights later, Yuu is out picking some wild crops from Praline Forest. It's pretty late, so he tries his best not to attract any attention, especially from a certain "Princess". But no matter how low he tries to lay, nothing slips past Kotomi's alternate personality without questioning.

From the shadows, Kotomi with her Shinto priest uniform and sword at her side walks up to Yuu. He stops, and tries not to panic. If he even made a single wrong move, it could cost him his head.

She points at Yuu and yells, "You there! Who are you, and what business you have in the middle of the night? Answer honestly, and you may go free!"

"Hey, calm down. I'm just walking back home from a long day of gathering herbs and berries. I don't want any trouble." answered Yuu.

Kotomi inspects his him, and then becomes enraged. Yuu notices that Kotomi is becoming angry without knowing why, then steps back out of sword's reach. Something in his neck is telling him that he might be in trouble.

Kotomi points at him with a horrifying anger in her eyes and yells, "It's you! I should have known you would come back to haunt me!"

At this point, Yuu is prepared to run. He has no idea what he has done to anger the oddly dress young woman. "Hey, I don't know what you're talking about. Let's sit down, and talk about it like adults," begged Yuu.

She unsheaths her sword, and prepares for a fight. She then yells, "enough! This is revenge!"

He has no idea what she is talking about, but his first reaction is to run for his life. Yuu may be a fast runner, but Kotomi is able to keep up with him very easily. Yuu then runs through the Maple Lake District where many people live, hoping to get some help from the locals. But no matter how loud Yuu and Kotomi are, the other villagers sees it as something normal, and are able to sleep past it.

As soon as Yuu is in range, Kotomi jumps into the air prepared to strike and split Yuu in two halves. Right before her blade lands, Rumi jumps in, and blocks the attack that would have ended Yuu's life instantly. He falls to the ground as Kotomi struggles with Rumi dressed in the red dress and mask in an arms lock.

"You again!?" Kotomi growled. "How many times must you interfere with my work!?"

Rumi pushes back as hard as she possibly can and says, "this man is not the one from your past! Leave him alone at once, he is innocent!"

"Never!!" growled Kotomi in a frantic tone. Using as much force as she can muster, Kotomi throws Rumi through the air, landing pretty hard on the ground. Kotimi then runs after Yuu with her blade in her hand ready to end his life. Yuu then takes out a piece of lumber that he was carrying around from the Praline Forest and uses it to block Kotomi's ruthless strike. The lumber gets suck on the sword, forcing her to swing wildly to get it off.

"Don't just lie there you idiot! Hide somewhere!" yelled Rumi. She then runs back to challenge the outraged elder sister to give Yuu time to find somewhere to hide. As their steel clashed, Yuu found an empty barrel to hide in behind one of the homes nearby.

As soon Yuu is hidden, Rumi decids that it is time to end the battle. "Give it up Samurai Princess, you'll never defeat me."

"Don't bet on it!" yelled Kotomi. "After I finally strike you down, I'll get my vengeance on that coward who teases little girls for his enjoyment!"

"Oh really? How will you get your revenge if he's gone?" asked Rumi. Kotomi then takes her attention away from Ruby, and notices that Yuu is gone. Rumi then pulls down her lower left eyelid, and sticks out her tongue at Kotomi. She then pushes Rumi with her sword sending her flying into the air once again. Desperate to find him, she runs off looking for Yuu into the darkness. The battle is over for now.

Rumi knows where Yuu is hiding, so she knocks on the barrel to tell him it's safe to come out. Yuu pops his head out, and notices that Kotomi is gone. He takes a deep breath, and sighed in relief. "If I were you, I'd go home before my sister comes back," said Rumi.

"Wait a second, why is she acting crazy now? I have never met her before in my life, and she claims that she knows me?" asked Yuu.

"Meet me at the back of Chiffon Tailor shop tomorrow. I'll explain everything then. But for now, just go home." Before Yuu says anything else, Rumi jumps onto the rooftop of the building, and hops away. Taking Rumi's advice, he runs as fast as he can back to his farm. He slams the door shut and locks it tightly. Last time he met up with Kotomi's alternate personality, it was a very close call. This time, he was only inches from getting killed. All he could do now was rest for the next day, hoping that events like this would never happen again.

The next afternoon, Rumi and Yuu go back to the Kirch Inn where she demanded ice cream as payment for rescuing him again. Once again, people are thinking that they were on a date. Yuu just shakes his head in embarrassment. He felt that at this rate, any chance at romance was completely ruined. However, Yuu doesn't complain at all. Rumi had a few briuses and scrapes from last night's fight, so the ice cream was well deserved.

"What's wrong? You don't look too good. . ." asked Rumi. "Hey, you're not getting the wrong idea and think this is some sort of date, right?"

Yuu sighs and says, "Please don't say weird stuff like that, I have enough problems with your sister chasing me around at night, like a cat chases a mouse."

Rumi giggles a bit, which makes Yuu feel quite peeved. "Well, it can't be helped. Everyone in the town has already got used to her, and avoids walking alone at night. Since you're new, you're an easy target."

Her speech is not making him feel any better. In fact, he felt like if she was saying that Yuu is the bad guy. Since they are on the topic, Yuu feels that he might as well ask about yesterday's events. "By the way, what was bothering Kotomi this time? I didn't do anything wrong, but she still wanted to kill me! She said something about me coming back to haunt her, and someone picking on girls for their enjoyment."

"It's your clothes. Those farmer's clothes are upsetting her," answered Rumi.

"Upsetting her? But why?" asked Yuu.

Rumi takes another bite of her ice cream before answering, "When Kotomi was about 12 years old, there was a group of kids that picked on her. The leader of that group was the son of a farmer that lived in our home town. Ironically, the clothes Juli and Kotomi designed together resemble the clothes that the young boy wore a long time ago."

"Are you serious?! So you're telling me that she thinks I'm the guy who teased her when she was a kid?"

Rumi nods and says, "yep! That boy was so terrible too. Besides being the leader of that group, he called her all sorts of names, and threw stones and sticks at her, and hit her. You can't blame her for getting upset."

"Why didn't you tell me this earlier? Even worse, why did you even help make these clothes if all they would do is cause me grief?!" yelled Yuu. He quickly notices that everyone in the inn was staring even more, so he lowers his tone a bit.

"To tell you the truth, I didn't think she would remember the boy in her "samurai" personality. She does remember his clothes well enough to help Juli design them the way they are, but not well enough to know why she does. Samurai Princess usually carried no memories of Kotomi, but it seems like I was wrong. She seem to carry Kotomi's painful memories, which is why she is so harsh to punish people for doing even the simplest things."

Yuu feels that what Rumi is saying makes perfect sense, so he slams his head on the table. He almost cries knowing that the attacks might actually continue for a long time. "So what do I do now?" he asks.

"You'll have to ask Juli make you a new set of clothes. Something different from what Kotomi remembers," Rumi answers.

"Are you kidding me? I don't have enough money to buy new clothes. And Juli won't make another set for free, it was a one time favor."

"Well, then you'll have to stay indoors at night. Either way, getting new clothes or treating me to sweets each time I rescue you is going to cost money," said Rumi as she continues with her ice cream. He can't believe his situation. As a farmer, he is sometimes obligated to work after hours especially since he needs money to live. But because of Kotomi, he may have a very difficult life ahead of him.

"Darn it all, isn't there something I can do to end this whole mess?" Yuu said thoughtlessly.

Rumi takes an interest in what Yuu just said. She poked him in the head with the spoon to get his attention. He lifted his head up, and saw that Rumi was looking hard at him with interest. "Hey, are you willing to do ANYTHING? Anything at all?

"Sure! If there is a way to end this, I'm willing to do whatever it takes." Yuu answered without knowing anything what she had planned.

Rumi nods and says, "I think there is a way to help my sister recover from her condition. But we'll have to do some cosplay in order for it to work."

Yuu sighs and says, "fine, it's a lot better than being killed by your sister."

Rumi takes a scoop of her ice cream, and put it in her mouth. Suddenly she remembers something that her grandmother told her when she was younger. Yuu was growing suspicious at Rumi who was looking in the air lost in thought. "I wonder. . . Could you be the one?"

"Hey, if you're planning to dress me up in a girl's outfit, forget about it!" yelled Yuu.

Rumi becomes angry very quickly. Yuu sees stars after she hits him with the spoon as hard as she can. Yuu was fine, but he had a bump on the top of his head. "What was that for?" yelled Yuu.

"That was for having a smart mouth!" answered Rumi. "Now listen up buster! Meet me behind the Chiffon Tailor shop at 9:00 PM tonight. Do not come dressed in your farm clothes, I don't want you attracting any attention before my plan. Got it?"

Yuu sighs rubbing the bump on his head. "Okay, okay. Fine, I'll be there."After Rumi finishes her ice cream, they say their goodbyes and return to their homes.

Yuu continues his farm work for the rest of his day. He is a bit nervous about what Rumi has planned for him. She told him nothing about the plan and how will it work. All she did tell him was, "Just act natural, everything will fall into place on it's own." He has no idea what that means, but he is willing to try almost anything.

That night, Yuu arrives at the Chiffon Tailor shop at 9:00 PM exactly. But Rumi is nowhere to be found. Since she lives there, he knows that she will come out eventually. After a few minutes waiting, Yuu finally hears Rumi's voice whisper, "hey, I'm over here!"

Yuu turns around and nearly faints when he lays eyes on Rumi. She is now wearing the school uniform of a kindergarten girl. As young her light pink dress made her look, she even looks younger now. The costume came complete with the yellow hat, and a school backpack.

"R...R...R..RUMI!!! What in the world are you wearing?!" Yuu yelled nervously.

"It's the costume for my plan to work!"

Yuu sighs once again and says, "okay, I give up. What kind of plan is this anyway?

Rumi throws him a small sack with clothes inside of it. Yuu pulls out the clothes, inside is a brown trench coat and a brown hat with a brim. Yuu still doesn't understand why is she giving him these clothes, and what purpose does a kindergarten uniform have to do with them. "Am I really supposed to wear this?"

Rumi places her arms on her hips and says, "quit your complaining, and hurry up! My sister might find us any minute now."

Yuu nods, and quickly puts on the trench coat and hat. At first, he thought that she was dressing him up as a detective, but he soon found out that he was wrong. The coat and hat had some oil and other unidentifiable stains on it. Rumi then puts a thumb up and says, "you look great! You'd make a natural stalker in that coat."

"Stalker!?" asked Yuu. "What are you planning on doing?"

"You'll see. . ." Before Yuu protests, she jumps on his chest and held as tight as she could. She suddenly screamed as loud as she can, obviously to get some attention. Yuu freaks out, if anyone catches him in his uncomfortable situation, things will become very complicated.

"Oh please, don't touch me there Mr. Pervert! I'm only an innocent child! Please someone rescue me!" Rumi acted, trying to attract attention on purpose.

Yuu panics and yells, "Rumi! What are you doing?! Get off of me before someone finds us!"

"What's going on here!?" yelled a very familiar voice. Yuu suddenly becomes very terrified upon hearing that voice. He slowly turns around to see his worst nightmare come true. Samurai Princess stood there with her blade already drawn, and her blue eyes burned with anger. He looked down at Rumi who was still holding on to him in a very awkward way.

Yuu then points at Rumi and says, "umm. . . This is not what it looks like. I can explain, I swear."

"Silence Lecher! Not only are you dressed to hide in the shadows and prey in innocent children. But you have the nerve to make excuses?!" Yuu already knows that he is in deep trouble. If small crimes like littering can get you killed. He can't even begin to imagine what Kotomi might do to him at this point.

Rumi feels that she has enraged her sister far enough. She jumped off his chest, and skips away. "I'm done here, you can handle the rest. Just remember, act natural."

"Hey wait, don't leave me here alone with her!" begged Yuu.

Just about as he is about to catch up with Rumi, Kotomi stops him with her blade. She pinns him against a corner with the edge of the blade close to his throat. There was no way Yuu could talk his way out if this one.

Kotomi grins and says, "still think you can explain yourself? A little girl cries for help. And when I come by to check, I see a stalker with a little girl in his arms. For this, you shall die! Now, do you have any last words?"

At this point, Yuu's life begins to flash before his eyes. He is almost sure that he is going to die. But he quickly comes up with a clever idea after remembering yesterday's events. He points at the opposite direction, and yells, "look over there! It's that farmer who bullied you when you were a kid!"

She turns around to the direction Yuu pointed at, but she finds nothing. She faces Yuu again, but he had already ran off. Samurai Princess is not going to let him escape this time, so she jumped to the top of the Chiffon Tailor shop to find him running to the direction of his farm. She isn't going to let him get away, so she jumps off the roof, and chases him. Rumi watches them run off, and feels a bit angry. "That idiot! He was supposed to keep her busy until I get things ready!" She then pulls out her scarlet costume, and says, "Looks like I'll have to play a different role today."

Kotomi is much faster than yesterday, and she is able to catch up in no time. She grabs her blade, and drives it into the concrete road. She lounges the blade forward, releasing energy that splits the road in two. Before it hits Yuu he jumps out of the way avoiding certain death. He nearly wets his pants as he witnesses the destruction left behind. The road is completely destroyed, bricks and debris flies in every imaginable direction.

Yuu's face turns completely white as he says, "holy crap! Where did she learn how to do that? This can't be possible!"

The distraction left Yuu open and vulnerable for an attack. Samurai Princess jumps into the air, and is about to end Yuu's life. "Prepare to die!!" she screamed as she is about to land a final attack. As his life flashes before his eyes once again, Rumi dressed as Magical Warrior Ruby jumps in and blocks Samurai Princess' attack. He almost cries at the sudden sight of her. "Oh my god, I'm saved." he said to himself.

Kotomi points at Rumi, and asks, "What are you doing? Do not stop me from punishing this man! I personally saw him stalking little children, this is punishable by death!"

Rumi laughs and says, "Stopping you? What are you talking about? I'm only here to punish this man for preying on young girls as well. You just got in the way of my attack."

"WHAT!!!" screamed Yuu. At this point, he only thought of the worst possible outcome. Yuu quickly stands up up, and steps backwards. Both Samurai Princess and Ruby were walking up to him with a murderous fire in their eyes. Yuu has no idea what's going on, this was Rumi's plan, but she's going to help Samurai Princess this time.

Rumi points at Yuu and yells, "you mister are a very bad man. And by the name of justice, I will punish you. For I am. . ." She then does a silly magical girl pose as she says, "Magical Warrior Ruby!"

"Come on! Two against one? That's not fair!" Yuu complained.

"Silence you molester of children, and just die!" yelled Kotomi.

At this point, he feels that they both had lost their mind. Yuu then runs off as fast as his legs could move while Rumi and Kotomi chases him around town. Yuu is screaming like a little girl as he run through town waking up everyone he passes by. Instead of helping Yuu, all he could hear was complains from the villagers like, "Hey, can you keep it down! People are trying to sleep here!" They all see Yuu running down the road in a trench coat, and two girls chasing him, but to them it was normal behavior.

"What is with this town? People try to kill you, and nobody cares? Is this some sort of cruel joke?" compleined Yuu as he continues to run around Waffle Town.

Yuu quickly turns left between some houses to hide in the shadows. The two sisters follow him between the houses, but they loose him for a moment. Rumi looks back, and knows where Yuu is hiding. She then whispers in Kotomi's ear, and they both split up. Yuu thinks he is safe, so he turns back and tries to walk back home.

But as he moves around the corner of the house, he finds Kotomi standing there waiting for him. She is too close to run away anymore, Yuu is caught. "I got you now! Have you said your prayers yet?" said Kotomi as she points her sword at his throat.

Yuu has another idea and says, "uhh, no. How about if you let me go now, and you can kill me after I said my prayers!"

Kotomi laughs like a maniac and says, "that trick wont work on me! Prepare to die!"

"Go to sleep!!" screamed Rumi. She jumps off the house right over them. From her back, she grabs a second bat decorated with flowers and cute animals. At the exact same time, Rumi hits both Yuu and Kotomi in the head knocking them unconscious simultaneously. They both collapse, Rumi then puts away her bats waiting for the results of her cosplaying to pay off.

She drags both Yuu and Kotomi close to one another and says, "Okay, I did exactly what Grandma told me to do. I hope this works." She then sits nearby, and places her hands together, almost as if she is praying. Finally, she begins to chant some words her grandmother taught her. This is all she can really do for them at this point.
