Chapter 43: The Ski Trip!: A Fight With A Yukidaruma!

Date: January 26, 1996

Well, another week had now passed since our most recent encounter and battle with Petora. In which me and Wedding Peach had purified the devil Sojiki. However, we weren't thinking about any of that at the current moment.

Because, one day, as the four of us walked into the school grounds, which we happened to be walking close to one Kazuya Yanagiba, or Limone as Momoko, Yuri, and Hinagiku now also knew him as. "Sorry, Shinko here viewers. So as explained in this stories 2nd chapter, I already knew that he was Limone, through that promise he told me to keep up until last episode. However, that doesn't mean that I am ever going to tell them that I knew. It is best to just not let them know about it, I find it to be far easier this way. Anyway, back to the story."

And as the four of us continued to walk, Momoko then chose to speak up. "I can't believe that Kazuya Yanagiba is really Limone," Momoko said, apparently still bewildered from finding that fact out a week ago. "Yea, I really don't know how to act to that, do you?" Hinagiku asked Momoko, also sounding bewildered. And before I could speak up and respond, Yuri chimed in. "We don't think that we need to act all do we?" Yuri said, with a hint of love to her tone. As she seemed to be perfectly alright with this being the case, since she seemed to be *ahem* infatuated with him. And yet, I couldn't chime in, even if I wanted to. Since my mind was currently focused on a more pressing matter, and to be honest, it had me on edge. The reason for this, was that the four of us, had each received coupons to a ski resort, from an unknown address. Yea, you can see now why I was on edge regarding this. Since we had no idea who had sent them to us. And apparently, we weren't the only ones to receive these mysterious coupons.

Because a bit later on, in one of the schools classroom, as Hinagiku and Momoko pull out their respective ski resort coupons. This was then followed by it being discovered, that Yousuke who also told us that Captain Yanagiba had received one as well. Well, not so much discovered so much as Yuri wound up seeing the pass in Yousuke's hand, and inquired him about it.

However, when Yuri, took me, Momoko and Hinagiku to a remote place on the school grounds. She then proceeded to tell us that she had the free ski passes had been given to us by her mom. Because we had apparently been invited. Why you may ask? Well, I am just as clueless as you are viewers.

Later that day, Yanagiba told Yuri he had to help Aphrodite in the angel world. And as a result, couldn't go on the ski trip. Although disappointed, Yuri was understanding about it and reassured him that it was alright.

However, at the ski resort a few days later, things suddenly started to take a turn. This was started when one Mr. Iwamoto confronted us about conversing with one another before before being hit down the hill by another skier.

And after a bit more shenanigans, in which a devil named Yukinojo Hengema had apparently taken the form of Yousuke, in an effort to get Momoko annoyed, in which said devil wound up pushing her off the lift and onto the snowy ground. And I had not only witnessed it happen, being one chair behind them. But when I first saw it, I was livid. "Okay Yousuke what is your problem!?...Wait, there's that bad feeling again...so whoever this is, that isn't the real Yousuke...looks like it is once again going to be one of those days," I thought to myself, as the three of us then exited the lift at the top.

"Okay, Shinko here. So let me give you a synopsis viewers, on just how good I am at skiing. Well, I used to ski double black diamonds back in the real world...So I would say that I am very good at skiing...despite that I sometimes wiped out...*blush* But that happens to a lot of skiers...*continues to blush* Anyway, back to the story."

Anyway, as we made our way down the mountain, I caught sight of fake Yousuke pushing Momoko down the hill, causing her to pick up speed.

Near the bottom of the hill. As Momoko was about to tell me, Yuri, and Hinagiku about 'Yousuke's' recent behavior. I decided, or I tried to speak up. Unfortunately, the real Yousuke had other plans, as he happened to step into our conversation, whilst wondering where we had all gone. And after, Momoko got upset, no surprise there. She wound up pushing him down the hill. This was then followed by the fake Yousuke coming up to us. But once again, before I could speak up. Jama-P appeared and wound up exposing the devil's true identity. Yukinojo Hengema, who was a Yukidaruma, or Snow Man in English translation.

And as Yukinojo Hengema ventured off to most likely find Petora. We wound up chasing after him. And once we had 'cornered' him, Momoko pulled out and readied her Saint Miroir, I pulled out and readied my Saint Sword Of Bluebell, Yuri readied her Saint Lip Liner, and Hinagiku readied her Saint Pendule. "Beautiful Wedding Flower!" Momoko said. And in a flash of light, she was in her wedding dress form. "Elegant Wedding Flower!" I said. And in a flash of light, I was Angel Bluebell again, and also in my usual battle outfit. "Graceful Wedding Flower!" Yuri said. And in a flash of light, she was in her wedding dress form. "Attractive Wedding Flower!" Hinagiku said. And in a flash of light, she too was in her wedding dress form.

This was then followed by Wedding Peach, Angel Lily, and Angel Daisy then readied their respective transformation items, and prepared to transform into their battle outfits. "Bridal Change Wedding Dress Transform!" Wedding Peach, Angel Lily, and Angel Daisy all said in unison. "Angel Amour Peach!" Wedding Peach said. And in a flash of light, she was in her battle outfit. "Angel Precious Lily!" Angel Lily said. And in a flash of light, she was in her battle outfit. "Angel Courage Daisy!" Angel Daisy said. And in a flash of light, she too was in her battle outfit.

And as the sound of chiming bells then filled the air, Wedding Peach then began her introduction. "Youthful carefree youth sliding down the ski slopes alongside the winter wind! You tried to make our friends hate each other, and for that I can't forgive you! I am the Love Angel! I am Wedding Peach, and I am extremely angry with you!" Wedding Peach said, as she struck her usual pose.

"My turn," I thought to myself, as I then began my usual introduction, whilst holding my Saint Sword Of Bluebell straight up with my left hand. "The nature of the bluebell, is to spread joy and love, allowing friendships to remain strong! I can't forgive those who commit acts of evil! I am the Love Angel! I am Angel Bluebell, and I am very angry with you!" I said, as I drew my Saint Sword Of Bluebell, back towards, and then over my right armor clad shoulder. To which I then stopped it mid downward swing, then held it in front of me in a battle ready stance, and struck my usual pose.

And it was then that Angel Lily and Angel Daisy started their introductions.

"In then language of flowers, the name of the pure lily is special, it means that it will bloom and grant love!" Angel Lily said, as she struck a pose.

"The daisy is the emblem of the innocent heart, and it can withstand the most evil wind!" Angel Daisy said, as she struck a pose.

However, once we had finished our introductions. Yukinojo Hengema wound up summoning up a blizzard to disorient us. And one by one, he wound up confusing by disguising himself as the four of us and attacked us while we were vulnerable. He then proceeded to steal the energy from us.

It really did seem like this was the end of the line for the four of us. However, Takuro had been walking in the forest and went towards the commotion once he saw what was happening to us from a distance.

And regarding the four of us, I couldn't help but try and make light of the situation, as I then decided to pick a not great time to make a joke. "Seriously devil, can't you just chill out?" I said, which not surprisingly drew the attention of the other love angels. "Yea, not the right time to be cracking jokes Bluebell," Angel Daisy said to me with a deadpan expression. However, before I could respond to what Angel Daisy had said. Ice started to form around the four of us, as it gradually began to freeze our bodies. And as we started to become more and more frozen solid. Takuro wound up speaking up, while referring to Angel Daisy as 'Hinako,' and I took immediate notice of this. "Okay, so Takuro knows who Angel Daisy is in her civilian form...I don't know how I am supposed to feel about that..." I thought to myself. But before I could think more about it, Takuro wound up getting attacked by Yukinojo Hengema's evil energy. Takuro watched as the ice continued to freeze Angel Daisy, until her body was completely frozen. In fact, all four of our bodies had been completely frozen in ice.

However, as quickly as it had happened, the ice was quickly melted off of us. And as Angel Daisy looked towards Takuro, Yukinojo Hengema once again attacked him and knocked him out.

"Okay, well that's clearly not ideal...yep Angel Daisy is quite unhappy about that...well, time to hopefully close the book on another fight," I thought to myself, as Angel Daisy then summoned the Saint Tornado Rod from the Something Borrowed pendant, and proceeded to try and use it on Yukinojo Hengema. "Memorial Candle Of Love!" Angel Daisy said, as two rows of candles appeared, which then lit themselves. "Saint Tornado Dreaming!" Angel Daisy followed up with, doing a 360 spin, and then firing her attack from the Saint Tornado Rod.

At the exact same time, Angel Lily then summoned the Saint Astral Baton from the Something Blue earrings, as she then proceeded to use it on Yukinojo Hengema. "The Veil Of The Maiden's Shyness!" Angel Lily said, as she did a full spin, while twirling the Saint Astral Baton. "Saint Astral Stardust!" Lily followed up with, as she then got down on one knee, and spun the Saint Astral Baton on her now open palm, as the attack was launched from it toward Yukinojo Hengema.

And as Yukinojo Hengema fired his next attack. This was then followed by Wedding Peach then summoning the Saint Crystal Rod from the Something Old. "Saint Crystal!" Wedding Peach said, as she did a full spin, and got down on one knee, as the Saint Crystal Rod's crystal shined bright. This was then followed by Wedding Peach absorbing Yukinojo Hengema's attack into the Saint Crystal. "I can't forgive this evil!" Wedding Peach said, as she then proceeded to launch Yukinojo Hengema's own attack back at him, in the form of a love wave. I meanwhile, readied my Saint Sword Of Bluebell, as Wedding Peach then proceeded with her attack.

"Wedding Engagement Gift...Saint Crystal...Love...For...You!" Wedding Peach said, as she then did another full spin. And once the crystal on the Saint Crystal Rod shined quite intensely bright. She then launched Yukinojo's own attack back at him, in the form of a love wave.

"Saint Sword Of Bluebell...Devil...Purification!~" I said, as I drew my Saint Sword Of Bluebell, back towards and then over my right armor clad shoulder. And once my sword glowed its familiar bright light blue color. I then swung it, in a left horizontal swing in front of me, as I launched my respective attack towards Yukinojo Hengema.

And once our respective purification attacks, hit Yukinojo Hengema, at exactly the same time. He was purified, to which he then faded out of existence. As for Petora however, though none of us had seen him during the fight. I still knew full well, that we would soon wind up running into him again.
