Chapter 4: Spirit Hunting
"Ugh, we've been looking for hours and yet we can't find it!" Gokudera shouted angrily.
"I found it!" Yamamoto screamed.
"You did?"
"A chocolate bar. Boy was I hungry."
"Stupid baseball freak!" Gokudera shouted, punching him.
"So all this time we've been searching, you were searching for lunch?"
"Kinda." Yamamoto said, with his trademark grin.
"Hey, she's in this classroom." Yuuki pointed to the Art Room.
"Okay, we need to make a plan. Who should go in their first?" I said but Gokudera already barged in.
"Okay, no plan. Have it your way." I said, still in hiding.
"Oh, hello. You startled me a little!" The spirit said.
"Ah, do you know where Tsubaki is? We promised to meet here and I can't seem to find her anywhere."
She really is after me.
"Spit it out. I know you're a spirit."
"What are you talking about?"
"Hey, Tsubaki, where you lying to us?!" Gokudera shouted.
"Tsubaki? Where is she? My lunch." The girl smirked.
This is why we needed a plan.
"What the heck!? Why do you even want to eat her?"
"She's delicious. After all, she's got so much spiritual power."
"Are you a spirit Tsubaki?"
"Of course not!" I shouted, coming out of my hiding spot as Yuuki and Yamamoto followed me.
"There you are. MY LUNCH!" She shouted coming at me.
I punched her in the stomach and then proceeded to faster punches all over her body.
"Whoa there. Don't come so close." I said.
I backed up from her after delivering some punches.
"Yamamoto!" I shouted.
Yamamoto cut her and Gokudera fired a bomb.
"Ha ha ha, foolish humans. That's not enough."
"Watch out, Tsubaki!" Yuuki shouted, swinging his scythe at her once the smoke disappeared. We all ran out of the room and quickly closed the door.
"Yeah, fighting all around the school. Whoo! What is this Middle School of the Spirits?" I said, leaning against the door.
"Either way, we can't fight her in the Art Room." Yuuki said.
"Yeah, the mannequins got in the way." Gokudera continued.
"Mannequins? I thought those were people turned to stone! A ha ha!" Yamamoto said.
"Just how stupid are you baseball freak?"
"Let's go to the roof! It's wider there!"
"But, isn't Hibari there?" Yamamoto asked.
"Doesn't matter. We'll avoid him."
"Okay, Tsubaki!"
I opened the window, climbed on the small ledge and jumped up towards the roof with a perfect landing. Even Hibari-san was startled by my sudden jump.
"How'd she do that?"
"Like I'd know baseball freak?"
Luckily for Yuuki, I had been holding onto his hand so I brought him up with me. Yamamoto and Gokudera soon came up with me.
"Where is she?" I asked.
"She's following us but we lost her for a little while."
"Herbivores, what is going on?"
"We've got no time to explain. Just attack the girl who appears."
"Why should I?"
"Just do it." I glared at him, he looked surprised, and then nodded his head.
"Tsubaki, I'm not going to fight."
"Why not?"
"You can handle it on your own." He said.
"Suit yourself." I said, with a laugh.
"You're a weird couple." Gokudera interrupted.
As we waited for the girl, we heard the voices coming from below.
"Hey, what's going on up there?"
"Is that No-Good Tsubaki?"
I shook them out of my mind.
The doorknob twisted.
"My lunch, my lunch, my lunch."
Her short black hair was now covering her face and her eyes were bloodshot. Blood was oozing out of her mouth.
"Ew, creepy." Yamamoto remarked, with a little laugh.
"Heh, that's the first time I heard the true you." I said, kicking the spirit and then jumping back towards the others. Hibari went up to attack and then I remembered. Normal weapons won't work on the spirit.
"Hibari-san, stand back! You're going to be eaten!"
He didn't listen and his attack didn't work. The spirit took Hibari's leg and bit it. Yamamoto ran up to the spirit and swung his katana.
"I've got this. Take Hibari to Yuuki."
I nodded my head, while I carried Hibari to Yuuki.
"Sorry, I forgot normal weapons don't work on spirits."
"It's okay. I forgot too. But this is bad, a spirit's bite has a large amount of poison in it. It heals within a day though."
"Take care of him, please."
"Got it."
I returned to the other two who were throwing bombs at it and attacking with the sword.
"Gokudera, can I use a bomb?"
"What are you going to-" But he couldn't continue as I had jumped up into the sky.
I locked my knees together as I prepared to attack from above. As I fell down with maximum speed I hit the spirit releasing a large amount of chi as it screamed in agony. Then I threw the bomb at it. The spirit fell to the floor, closed it's eyes, and then disappeared.
"We...did...it." I said, shocked.
