--- A Lady's Wrath
Today is the day of the major sale at the local fashion store. Ruby, always wanting to buy more clothes couldn't pass up this opportunity to expand her wardrobe. So she called Selena over and headed to the mall for her little shopping spree.

It was hectic at he mall, waves and waves of people were walking about, looking for items to shop. Ruby shoved her way through the crowd with Selena lazily following behind.

"Do we had to go through the crowd? Can't we wait till the crowd thins out?" groaned Selena.

"Of course not! If I wait, all the nice clothes will be taken. I cannot be wearing the cheap stuff left behind!" shouted Ruby over the the crowd. She finally made it into the store and began to search through the piles and piles of clothes.

Then she found a pair of lovely pants, and began to walk off to find more items, unknowing that another person is holding the same pair of pants that she is.

"Hey! These are mine! Get your own!" said Ruby to the other person, unaware that she is screaming at the girlfriend of someone she knows...

"Give those back you hog! I saw them first1" yelled back the other girl. She and Ruby both struggled to obtain that pair of pants. When it seems that the tug-of-war was even, Ruby slapped the other woman across the face, finally getting the pair of pants.

"HOW DARE YOU?! ELRIC! ELRIC GET IN HERE!" schreech the girl.

"What!? Elric?" asked Ruby. Elric and Ruby were long time rivals since they were in elementary school. But they were separated when Ruby moved.

"What's going on Lillia?" asked a man emerging from the crowd.

"THIS ***** SLAPPED ME ELRIC!" screamed Lillia, pointing to Ruby.

"Excuse me... Is that you Ruby?!" said Elric surprised.

"So what if I am?" said Ruby casually.

"How dare you touch my Lillia's face! If I weren't a highly gentleman, I'd slap you!" yelled Elric.

"Bring it! Come on, let's take this outside then... unless you're scared?!" said Ruby mockingly. At this point, Selena finally weaved her way through the crowd, but decided to not get involved in another of Ruby's fights.

"As much as I hate to hurt a lady, but I must teach you a painful lesson!" said Elric, accepting Ruby's challenge. Ruby placed the pair of pants on the cashier and menacingly said that she'll be back for it.

Outside in the expansive parking lot, Ruby and Elric stood face to face as Lillia and Selena watched from the side lines.

"I will not go easy on you Ruby. Not after you've hurt my dear lady!" said Elric.

"All the better, but don't expect this to be easy!" said Ruby in reply. At that, both Elric and Ruby leaped backwards in the empty parking lot. Elric, being the gentleman that he is, he gestured to Ruby "ladies first".

"This is your mistake!" whispered Ruby, as she snapped her fingers, summoning a huge rose to engulf her. As the rose petals wrapped around Ruby, Elric placed his hand to the ground, muttering a chant. Then the rose bud exploded sending Ruby in her battle attire flying at Elric, brandishing her whip. Just as she was about connect with her whip, six golden sword flew up and blocked the whip. Then Elric stood up, now in his battle outfit.

"Now it begins!" said Elric, as his six swords floated beside him, acting as a shield. To be continued...
