Chapter 9
This chapter is crap. It was 11:00 at night, and I was talking to my friend, too, so don't flame me for it. I refuse to change anything, 'cuz it's my story. That, and I didn't feel like wasting another chapter on a fight.Aika crawled up to Katsu.
"Who has it?" she asked.
He pointed at the boy on the left.
"No way," I whispered, "That guy's a total dip! I can't believe he got to hole the scroll! I mean, who wears spandex anymore? Or even GREEN spandex! Who dresses him? His sensei?"
Amaya looked nervous, "Um, actually, he does."
I almost fell on the ground laughing. "R-really?"
"Yeah, are you sure we'll be able to defeat these guys? Neji Hyuuga's pretty strong."
Amaya looked pretty nervous.
I sighed "Oh, fine. We'll attack when they go to sleep."
Hikara sat down. "Well, We're gonna be waiting for a whi-Katsu, does dirt ever feel circularish, kinda like a scro- oh, duh."
She stood up again, and dug into the earth. "Hey, Tsukiko, I think we found our scroll. Its 'earth,' get it? You get it? It's…oh, never mind."
I had been giving her the "The queen is not amused look," and that wasn't a face to mess with.
"Well, you have your scroll," said Aika, "Now we just have to head toward the tower."
Katsu raised his hands, and formed a simple sign. He closed his eyes, and stood still for a minute. I raised my eyebrows, and looked at Amaya. She looked at me, and put her finger to her lips.
"Shh," she said, and looked at Katsu.
He opened his eyes, and watched Hikara pocket the scroll.
"No!" he grunted, and threw himself at her, grabbing the scroll.
"What the-?" Hikara shouted, just as I screamed, "That's our scroll!"
But we saw what he was doing; he opened it about halfway, and tore it off, throwing the piece far away. Then he re-sealed the scroll, and handed it back.
"Trick," he said.
Aika was amazed. "Wow, you two are really good at making him talk. That must have been at least five words."
"Hey, what about me?!" asked the boy.
Amaya looked at us, raising one eyebrow. "You guys do realize that you were shouting, right?"
"Yeah, so what?"
"Well, we're standing right in front of another group, right? And now THEY'RE WALKING RIGHT TOWARD US!"
