Chapter 1: The love of violence

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$

As I walked down the halls of the massive hotel I thought of all the things that happened over the last few weeks. All of the death and carnage, I couldn't help but love it! It was after all in my nature to adore that kind of thing. I couldn't even start to add up everyone who had died during the fights and the times when I myself almost died. The latest few still pretty bright in my mind. After all, who could easily forget their own near death encounters? I couldn't.

That morning, I had breakfast with Ruka. We talked about many things. From fighting to fashion and from beauty to blood. When we finally finished eating she promised me that she would stay in touch and I promised her I would do the same. We after all, had become fast friends.

Juri was still busy making sure she wasn't going to die a virgin any time soon so I left our shared room to give her some time. If you know what I mean. She was bent on finding the one man who was "prefect". I knew long ago that that was impracticable. I knew that I would most likely end up with a man who couldn't care less about me, for the moment, I was alright with that thought.

I closed my eyes recalling when the fighter, Hiei, first unleashed the dragon of the darkness flames. Too bad, Zeru was sort of hot. But I couldn't do anything about that now could I? That's what I thought. I also thought of an additional fight. One with Kurama and Touya. Now that was a shocking turn of events.

Then my thoughts raced to the finals. The fight between Karasu and Kurama. I could have sworn Kurama had won. But then again what do I know? I was just an announcer girl. I thought then of the last fight. The one where everyone almost died. Torugo vs. Yusuke. A human boy against a demon. I think I would have loved it more if I hadn't almost died too many times to count in that fight.

I remembered what it was like exactly after the fight was over. Sayko tried to blow the stadium sky high. Oh wait, he did. Anyways, Juri dragged me away from the booth and as we were running we heard a groan. Juri ran a head and I stopped to find out whom it was. It was Bui.

He was still laying in the creator he made. One thing I noticed when I saw him was that he couldn't move. That and I'd have to get him out of there. I hauled him all the way out and ton the hotel. He was currently getting better in one of the temporary hospital rooms. Or at least I hoped he was.

He could have passed away during the night, but some how that doesn't seem like a possibility was a strong fighter and I knew deep down that he could pull threw. I don't know why but regardless of that fact there was a spot at the pit of my stomach that told me something awful was going to happen.

I was so lost in thoughts that I didn't relies I was walking out of the door and into the woods. Oh well, who would want to hurt me? I almost ran into trees a few times but at the last minute I stopped and went the other way. Or in other words, quickly getting myself lost.

I only snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a twig snap in half behind me. I spun around to see who or better yet what it was and what I saw both shocked and scared me. There where about ten demons and they looked really happy to see me. I wouldn't have a chance against them. But if I ran...

With that thought I ran as fast as I could not looking as to where I was going and I ran into someone. They grunted and almost fell over. Lucky them, I did fall over. When I looked up I saw Bui leaning up against a tree and he was panting heavily. I was about to get up and help him in any way that I could when the demons caught up to me. Oh what a joy today is!

"Bui! Get the bitch of a girl! We can teach her a lesson for siding with the humans! Come on!" One of the demons yelled to Bui but he didn't really do anything but continue what he was doing.

"Bui! What's wrong with you? Why wont you kill the bitch?" Another one yelled. I was starting to get scared. Why did every one think that in had been siding with the humans?

After a while Bui talked for the first time during the conversions. "Stop," He said simply. "None of you are to say another thing bad about this girl. She alone saved my life when the stadium was falling. I owe her a lot." All of the demons looked shocked and then noticed that Bui was still heavy wounded from his fight with Hiei.

"Come on guys! We can take him! He after all lost to the traitor!" With that said they ran towards Bui and myself. No matter how wounded Bui was or how many of them there was nothing could have stopped what happened next. Bui stood up to hi full height and killed all of them. That and when he was done he fell over on me. Today was my lucky day.

Not only was Bui nine feet tall but also I had no idea as to where we were. I don't think he knew either. First things first, I had to find some shelter because it looked like it was going to rain soon. I crawled out from beneath Bui, which took a lot of time I might add and then I looked around for some shelter. I would never be able to find Bui again.

I came back when I found a small cave and started to drug Bui to the cave I found. After I got him there I went out and looked for big leaves to make a makeshift bed out of. I only found enough for one bed. If I wanted to lie down I would have to share a bed with Bui. My cheeks were instantly red at the thought.

When I got back to the cave I started to make the bed for Bui. When I was done I rolled him onto it. Just as I finished the rain started to pour down and it didn't look like it was going to stop any time soon. After a few hours Bui started to move around. I got up and moved closer to him.

When I got close to him I guess his fighting instincts kicked in because he quickly garbed me and flipped over so he was on top. Bui's eyes were wide open when he observed that it was only me. My mind was working a mile a minute and it wasn't about to stop. "Bui?" I asked softly. He looked me in the eye silently asking me to go on. "Are you in any pain?" He looked at me and rolled over so that I could get up. He tried to stand as well but I pushed him down. He looked up at me and I gave him my sternest look. He just looked away.

About an hour later, the rain was still pouring if not harder. Bui and I haven't talked and I beginning to worry about him. I looked at him only to find him staring at me. I was about to ask him a question but he beat me to it. "About what you said during the finals. Did you mean it? What made you say that?" I didn't know what he was talking about. Ok, that might have been a lie.

"What thing? I said plenty of things during the finals." I asked him back truly not knowing what he meant in the first place. He thought for a moment before answering my question.

"The part that you said about my voice." When he said that I blushed as red as a tomato, possibly even worse. He was still staring at me, waiting for an answer to his question. Hadn't he ever heard of beating around the bush? I guess not.

"Oh that. Well...um... Why wouldn't I mean it?" I asked back at him. I could tell from the look on his face that he didn't want to play games. I didn't know what else to say. What did he even want me to say to him? That he was scaring the shit out of me? Some thing told me that plenty of people had told him that before.

"Yes that. I asked you a simple question. Can't you answer that? Why did you bring me to this cave any way? Don't even think of saying because it is raining because I can see that. And judging the fact that we aren't soaking wet, you got me here before it started." Bui finally said after I didn't say anything. I looked up at him and then finally told him,

"I guess that I didn't want you to get sick because I could smell the rain. I just spoke the truth during the finals." Bui thought about the answer for a while and didn't say anything else. For that I was thankful.
