Chapter 79-new years part 2

~Getting close to Mid-night~

Everyone was out and about, the street was full of the New year festival. Vendors upon vendors, things were piling up for the new year.

"YAY!" Aqua and Katara attacked one another in a hug.

"It's great to see you" Aqua told her, Aqua was wearing an deep blue kimono with long sleeves, a purple obi, and pink flower petals from her right shoulder to the left bottom of her dress. She had pink gloves to cover the mouths on her palms.

"It's great to see you too" Katara told her, "Aang and I made it just in time"

"You're telling us" Meka spoke up, she had an Orange kimono, sleeves regular length, a green obi and what seemed to be purple lilies on the dress.

Kuan-Yin was standing there, she was wearing her red kimono (the one I mentioned) on.

Pan was wearing a black kimono with a white obi, and a white dragon trailing the left shoulder to the bottom right.

Selene sighed, She had a black kimono, long sleeved, with an interesting light purple pattern, the pattern was similar to triangles.

Iris had her Purple kimono, opened to bear her well endowed chest, covered by a black strapless bra and black pants, tied together by a black piece of cloth.

Katara walked away and joined Aang.

"This is going to be an amazing new year!" Meka began to jump around.

"Not as amazing as what we got you for a present" Iris told Meka with a smirk.

Meka perked up, confused, "What do you mean?" she asked.

Aqua and Selene giggled and Pan smiled a soft smile to her little sister, "Don't worry, It'll be here soon"

At that moment, Shikamaru walked up, taking Meka by surprise completely, "Oi, Meka" He waved lazily.

Meka blushed and turned to the girls, "Thank you so much!" she then ran off and joined Shikamaru.

Pan caught notice of Trey and joined up with him.

Aqua, Kuan, Selene and Iris stared at each other and sighed.

"It kinda makes me feel bad" Iris sighed, leaning on the tree, "I wish I had someone to spend the year with someone special"

"Me too" Aqua and Kuan sighed.

"Sissies" Selene grumbled.

That's when Envy and Zuko walked up.

"Lets go Selene" Envy walked passed them, with out any emotion.

Selene shrugged and walked away, fallowing her master.

Zuko shrugged, "Kuan, can I talk to you for a second?"

Kuan nodded and walked away, following Zuko.

Iris and Aqua were left alone, They talked for a bit, buying food from the street vendors and such.

"I hope everyone's having fun" Iris told Aqua, they had finished eating and waiting for the mid-night fireworks to go off.

"Me too" Aqua looked over at Iris, "At least we're with friends tonight" she smiled.

"Exactly" Iris winked at Aqua, smirking.

The girls giggled as a familiar duelist walked by.

"Iris" Yami spoke her name softly, "will you accompany me?" he asked, slight blush on his cheeks.

Iris jumped up, "Absolutely" she then turned sourly at Aqua, Aqua nodded happily.

"Go have fun Iris, I'll be alright" she told the white cat demon. Iris nodded with a slight smile and walked away with Yami.

Aqua was alone. She watched the children put boats in the water for their spirit loved ones. Aqua smiled, knowing she wasn't to far gone, she wished her cousin and uncle could be here. It had been a whole year without them, how was she going to survive the rest of it? She didn't want to think about it. She then felt someone walk up on her.

She looked up and stared into Deidara's eyes.

"Deidara" she stood up, "How are you?"

"I'm well, What are you up to?" he asked, sitting on the bench she was once sitting on. She sat next to him and sighed.

"Alright I guess" she looked away from him and out into the water, "Missing people from my world…"

Deidara nodded, "oh…." He then but his hand on hers, she realized that he had gloves that covered his palms and showed his finger tips. "Umm…Aqua…" he began.

Aqua looked up at Deidara, she was growing a blush over her cheeks, "Deidara…I have something…" Aqua shook her head, "nevermind…"

Deidara raised a brow at her, "What is it un?"

Aqua didn't reply.

At that moment, another person walked up. Aqua and Deidara had never seen him before. He looked around 17 years old and his hair was similar to Aqua's. Brown with red highlights, a single strand in front of the right side of his face. His eyes were gold and angered. His skin pale and without flaw. He wore a black male kimono with red and silver worked in as patterns and trim and no shoes.

"Are you Aqua?" He asked. She stood up and faced him.

"Maybe...Who are you?" she asked without emotion. Deidara stood after her.

"You must be…your hair is similar to mine..." he smirked, "My name is Ignatius, My name means 'The Fiery one'…it's the opposite of Aqua"

"Which means 'Of the water" she finished for him.

He nodded, "I'm here because my father, Swain sent me…" He took in air and held out his palms and fire ignited from his fingertips, "He want's you destroyed" He began to chunk massive fireballs at Aqua, who began to jump back. Deidara followed her.

"Deidara" Aqua turned to him, "Stay back…this is my fight"

Deidara gritted his teeth, "if things start getting bad…I'm jumping in" he told her and jumped away from them.

People began to run away, screaming.

"Let me make this short and painless for you" his maniacal smile said that she was going to hurt badly after wards.

He then made a few hand movements and made a bunch of shadow copies of himself. Aqua had seen Naruto do this many times. She just had to figure out who was the original. She ripped off her gloves and used her mouth-hands to create little clay birds. She threw them out at him and, with each explosion, a shadow copy disappeared till the original Ignatius was standing there. His arms were folded and he was amused.

"This is fun" he smirked.

She frowned and came at him again, her claws appearing from her hands and black cat ears appearing from her skull. As she came down to strike, Dog like ears appeared and paws on both his hands and feet appeared. As she landed, he moved away and jumped on her back.

"I thought cats always landed on their feet?" He asked, smugly jumping off allowing her to stand.

Her ears and claws disappeared and she turned to him, her eyes purple and sharp.

"Homunculus, huh?" he asked, ears and paws disappearing as well. His arms still folded over his chest and a smug grin on his face.

She looked at him and jumped, allowing her feet to turn into drills (that's right, drills).

He jumped back and clapped his hands, when she landed, her feet turned back to normal but before she could think, he was above her with a spike in hand. She jumped back in time before a bit of her dress was torn off.

"Is that all?" he asked, his head raised up a bit, acting a bit cocky.

Aqua was gritting her teeth and sweating, she was beginning to hate this young man. She pulled out a small tablet, she looked at the Magician girl inside. She frowned and put it back in her obi.

"Guess you better not…." He said allowed, "Maybe you should be nicer to those who serve you"

She growled at him. She then pulled out her own Ikupasi she made for Cory and fused the two together, creating an ice-sword type weapon.

He smirked and put his left hand in the air, "I call forth the great spirit of the Earth" A large brownish spirit appeared behind him, her eyes grew wide.

She then stared at him, "What are you? You're the opposite of everything I am" she asked and told.

"That I am…That's why are names are opposites…" his smirk went away and he became serious, "We were meant to be enemies"

Aqua looked into the young man's eyes, a connection was created, like so many times before. She felt sorrow and anguish, she could feel this man's pain as if it was her own.

All of a sudden she felt people surrounding her, Deidara on her left, Mizu on her right. Sesshomaru next to her and Rin next to him. Zuko and Trey stood next to Deidara and Kuan, Iris, Selene, Meka and Pan near that. Behind her stood Yami, Shikamaru,InuYasha, Naruto, Hinata, Katara, Aang, Zeke and Envy. Wrath jumped in front of her, pointing out to Ingatius.

"Don't you mess with the Dragon of Water ever again" Wrath snapped at him, glaring an evil, sadistic glare.

Ignatius frowned and put his hand down, making the spirit of Earth to disappear. He then put his hands up in defense, "Alright" he smirked, "I know when I'm not wanted. I'll leave…" he then turned to walk away. He took at least five steps before looking back with a side glance, "And next time you won't live long enough to see the next day" He began to sprint away.

Wrath wanted to run after him but Aqua stopped the small Sin. (Wrath: who are you calling small?)

"Let him go…It's okay" she told him, grabbing his arm.

"Are you alright?" Yami asked her, "He didn't hurt you did he?"

"No…I'm okay" Aqua looked up at them, happily. "Thanks you guys"

At that moment, Fireworks set off.

Everyone became happy or in awe.

They then each paired off into couples to kiss.

Aqua wondered what happened when they left. She saw Pan and Trey kiss, Yami and Iris, Zuko and Kuan, Meka and Shikamaru (shocker), Envy had grabbed Selene (bigger shocker), Hinata and Naruto, Katara and Aang. Zeke was disgusted and left and InuYasha went to find Kagome. Rin and Wrath just watched, they were too young for the tradition anyway.

As Aqua was looking around, Deidara came up to her, squatted in front of her to see her face, pulled her chin to him and kissed her in a long passionate kiss.

That was all Aqua remembered before closing her eyes.

Mizu and Sesshomaru watched in the background.

"Young love" Mizu said happily with a sigh.

Sesshomaru made a grunt sound as she walked in front of him, smiling.

"Remember when we used to do that?" she told him.

He coughed, hiding his slight and unnoticeable blush.

She smiled up at him and gave him a light kiss on the lips, "I remember a time when you did love me" she then frowned, "I'm not sure what happened"

"I grew up" he told her, not making contact with her eyes.

She frowned and watched the group of young lovers.
