A Beautiful Beast

Chapter 4 Nature Has a Sword

Rayla wakes up to a Minoru saying, "It is time to wake up Rayla-Sama", and she asks him, "What are you doing in my bedroom". He replies, "I am here to wake you up and help you get ready for the day Rayla-Sama". She says, "I can get ready by myself, So get out", and kicks him out of her room.

She puts on a on an anime sweater and blue jeans and her long red hair is styled in pigtails while her bangs hang delicately on her fore head with a slightly longer part of hair on each side of her face.  She then puts of her glasses to me Hanako. Hanako comes up behind her and says, "Good Morning Ray-Chan", Rayla replies, "Good Morning Hana-chan". Hanako is wearing a white tank top and light pink skirt with a jean jacket with her hair down.

Hanako asks her, "Are you ready for our shopping trip today?" Rayla replies, "Yes I am but can get we out of here before you know who realizes I'm not in my room". Minoru than comes down in his school uniform and asks Rayla, "Are you going out today Rayla-sama?" Hanako tells him, "Yes Minoru-kun, we're going shopping today because it is Sunday and Ray-chan has a day off from". Rayla says, "Hana-chan, you didn't have to tell him, now he is going to insist on coming along".

Minoru says, "Why can't I come along Rayla-sama?" and she replies, "Because you treat me like I'm your master and it is so annoying". Minoru says, "But you are my master Rayla-sama", and Rayla says, "I Don't Care, you are not coming with us if you're going to treat like your master". Minoru says, "Fine Rayla-sama, I'll try to treat you like a normal girl outside of the house but only if you let me go with you everywhere from now on". Rayla says, "Ok whatever, let's just go now", and leaves the house with both of them.

They stop at a fast food restaurant for lunch. The Cashier gives them their orders; Rayla ordered a burger and fries, Hanako Ordered a salad, and Minoru ordered a hot dog and fries. Hanako asks Minoru, "So why do you think of Ray-chan as your master Minoru-Kun?" Minoru says, "Because Rayla-sama comes from the honourable and noble Himeakari and my family, The Mahōkishi, has served the Himeakari family for hundreds of years". Rayla says, "There is no way I come from a line of nobility", and Minoru replies, "That is because the Himeakari family lost its wealth and nobility during WWII and mysteriously disappeared".

Rayla says, "Than you have no excuse to call me your master as my family has lost it's nobility". Minoru says, "It's doesn't matter if your family has lost it's nobility, what matters is that the you are the last of Himeakari family". Rayla says, "Could you please go sit at another table?" and He replies, "Fine but I'm keeping my eye on you".

After lunch, they headed to a clothing store. Rayla looks through the bargain bin for nice cheap clothes and finds some clothes she likes in her size. As she goes to buy them, she notices Minoru leaving the counter with a bag full of expensive women's clothing. Rayla asks him, "Why are you buying women's Clothing?" and he replies, "They are a gift for you Rayla-Sama", and then walks away. Rayla than buys the clothes she had picked out from the bargain bin.

They then head to an accessory shop without Minoru. Rayla buys some cheap jewelry that is one sale. She than notices Minoru coming out of another accessory shop with a bag full of expensive stuff. Rayla asks Hanako, "How can he afford to buy so much expensive stuff?" and Hanako tells her, "Maybe it is because he is the heir to the Mahōkishi Corporation". Rayla says, "Wait, if he is the one who comes from a wealthy family, than how am I his master". Hanako replies, "Well I have heard that the Mahōkishi family can be really strict when it comes to family traditions". Rayla says, "But that doesn't a girl who has to work to go to school and have a home should be a master to some rich kid. Seriously, my family is no longer considered nobility and his family is now wealthy, there is no need to stick to tradition anymore".

Rayla than gets that sickening feeling that tells her a Cladis is nearby and suddenly sees a giant dog monster with snake hair is running down the street. Minoru than runs over to Rayla and gives Hanako their bags, He tells her, "Go find a doctor for Rayla-sama", Hanako than runs off. Minoru and Rayla than transform into their beast forms and Minoru says, "Jiézhì zhàng'ài", to summon the Beast Arena in order to find the Cladis.

Rayla than says, "Super Ultra Light Ray", while raising her hand but nothing happens. She says, "Why isn't it working? It Worked last time", and Minoru replies, "Oh I forgot to tell you that can only use one of each of your ultimate spells per a lunar cycle because you're an imperial beast Rayla-Sama". The Cladis than comes at them but they both jump out of the way. Rayla says, "Well that would have been nice to know", and he replies, "Sorry I forgot to tell you".

They suddenly hear a voice say, "I can't believe you forgot to invite me you guys, you're so cruel", and see a girl their age jump into the arena out of nowhere. She is wearing a pink flowery kimono with a puffy, knee length skirt, pink high heeled boots with flowers on the laces, a pink ribbon with a flower on it around her, and flower earrings. She has long pink hair tied in a ponytail with a flower bow and pink eyes. She than pulls out a katana and says, "Cherry Ultimate Cut", while slicing the Cladis in half which defeats it immediately. She than catches to blue diamond shaped jewel that drops and says, "It is only a Cladis eye, which is worth only 6 points".

They then all transform back to normal, and Rayla sees that the mysterious beast girl is Hanako. Rayla says, "Hana-chan, you're a beast", and Hanako replies, "Yes, didn't I ever tell you Ray-chan". Rayla says, "No you didn't, Minoru-kun were you aware that Hana-chan", and he replies, "Yes I was, Hanako is famous in the beast community for her strength and beauty". Rayla says, "Wait, sweet feminine, flower loving Hana-chan is some super strong beast", and Hanako replies, "You know I have been taking kendo since I was a kid, and am in both the Gardening and Kendo club". Rayla says, "Yes I knew that but I didn't know you were super good at it".

Hanako says, "I'm sorry for not telling you but can we head home, I'm super tired after that battle", and kisses Rayla on the lips. Rayla says, "Hana-chan, what did you do that for", and Hanako replies, "That was because I wanted to form a contract with you", while walking away. Rayla says, "Wait up Hana-chan", and runs up to her, Minoru walks behind them holding their bags.
