Hiei- Great…
LHL- … Sarcasm won't save you and you know it.
Hiei- Maybe, but no one even reads this any more.
LHL- So? I'd still like to finish it.
Hiei- Still want the disclaimer?
LHL- I don't see why, but sure.
Hiei- LHL doesn't own YYH or any of it's characters.
LHL- And this is a short chapter, but it's better than nothing, right?
Hiei- …
LHL- … Okay, just read the chapter.
" "-talking.
' '-thinking (very very obvious).
"Get out of the way," Rei growled and quickly formed her violet energy bow and fired an arrow. Ourune simply whipped one of her whips and the arrow was sliced in half and vanished in the air. Rei growled again and readied another arrow. Kurama quickly stepped in front of her. "Kurama move." She barked.
"Allow me to try something." He said and pulled out a rose. It formed into a whip and he cried, "Rose whiplash." He swung it at Ourune, but she whipped both her whips at the same speed, canceling all his hits. One of her whips wrapped around his wrist, as did his, and they both tugged.
As they pulled, Mizuki formed a ball of water into a solid aquamarine colored sword. She quickly ran toward Ourune, but with a slash of her other whip, it surrounded the blade and she yanked so hard that Mizuki released the sword and it flew across the cave.
"Don't think you can beat me by teaming up. My best fights are with uneven odds." Ourune said as the sword turned back into water.
"I don't see why you even hate Younme. She was nice to you in her world, yet you do this to her, like she's just some girl you can kill for no reason but your own amusement." Mizuki said and Ourune quickly wrapped around Mizuki's arms and waist, and pulled it tight, causing her to scream as blood began to drip down between the coins of whip.
Ourune lowered her head slightly, shading her eyes. "She was nothing but a mission that leader sent me on. She was no friend of mine. It was all an act." She said as she became more aggravated with every word, tightening her grip on the whip around Mizuki and around Kurama's wrist, which had begun to bleed.
"So then, you're jealous of her?" Rei asked as she readied an arrow and aimed at Ourune. "That's a stupid reason to want to kill her."
Ourune looked at the arrow aimed at her and was about to move she felt tugging on both of her arms. She looked to see Kurama and Mizuki holding her by the whips she held, the rose whip, and a water whip Mizuki had made from her liquefied sword. She tugged harder, causing both to bleed more, but neither let go.
Mizuki smirked as she tightened her grip. "Don't be foolish, Risa…"
"…We won't let you or your 'leader' win." Rei finished as she released the arrow and it shot directly into Ourune's chest.
Ourune screamed as the energy of the arrow exploded and the cave filled with smoke. The energy whips disappeared from around Kurama and Mizuki, and their own whips slacked and fell to the ground. The smoke cleared and singed earth replaced the place where Ourune had stood.
Mizuki sat down on the ground and leaned back on her hands, looking up at the roof. "I wish she had stayed the Risa we knew." She said as tears streamed down her face.
Kurama looked at Rei, who sighed as she walked over to Mizuki. "Can you still heal us? We need to get back out there and help Younme."
Mizuki nodded, "Yeah, just give me a minute. I'll be fine by then." She said as she covered her face.
"Take your time." Kurama said as he looked out the cave entrance. "I'm sure Hiei can handle it, for now."
"Yeah…" Rei said and thought, 'Please take care of her, Hiei.'
LHL- It's been so long I think I'm killing character personalities.
Hiei- You did that before.
LHL- Yes, but that was purposely. Now it's from the long absence of YYH in my life. I need to watch it again.
Hiei- Then do that and stop writing this.
LHL- Sure, as soon as I finish this story. Now I have motivation.
Hiei- Oh no…
LHL- Please review.
