StR: FINALS ARE OVER! Here's the next chapter. Go fast go!
School prepares you for the real world, which also sucks
Chapter 25: Falling apart
"Get ready," said Rei.The gang trusted her words and went into a defensive position. When the dust cleared there was nothing.
"Huh? Where'd that thing go!" yelled Kuwabara. The ogre came crashing out of the ground from behind them. Everyone just jumped out of the way of the ogre's arm.
"Whoa! He's strong!" Yusuke commented on the new crater in the ground. Maybe crater isn't the right word…more like the ground caved in and formed a river without water…
"His body is made of rock. I suggest not to get hit," said Kurama.
"I think we got that," hissed Hiei. Boy was he pissed. Rei had promised him a big bowl of sweet snow from the ice cream parlor after training. This thing was cutting into his valuable sweet snow time! "Let's just kill it!"
"For once me and shorty are thinking alike!" said Kuwabara.
"Don't drag me down to your level of stupidity."
"Why you-"
"NOW IS NOT THE TIME!" yelled Rei. She was jumping out of the way of the incoming punches by Dekaiyajuu, the rock ogre. A piece of the ground came flying towards Rei in the air and she had no time to dodge. Rei closed her eyes and braced herself for the impacted but it never came. When she reopened she was shocked. A whip, not Kurama's whip, Shashu's whip, cut the rock in half. The whip was a turquoise blue color and it crackled with energy.
"W-what?" stuttered Yusuke. "Why?"
"Lord Akihiko would have my head if you got hurt, but you were aiming for that weren't you?" Rei only smirked while putting her swords away.
"Hey, Yusuke!" shouted Rei.
"What?"
"Cover me for a second!"
"Huh? Whatever."
'Hiei can you hear me?' thought Rei.
'What are you doing onna?'
'Can you keep Jiyuu occupied?'
'Hn.'
'Thanks.' Rei, closing her eyes, took a deep breath in and slowly let it out. Slowly energy started to build up and crackle around her body. Hiei took that as a sign to attack Jiyuu, which he was glad to do. Dekaiyajuu hauled a tree towards Rei. Yusuke blew it up with a spirit gun before it even got close. The sky darkened and lighting lit it up for miles.
"I don't know what you're doing, Rei. Rock isn't affected by lighting!" Rei's eyes shot open in a glowing eerie yellow.
"I'm not aiming for him!" Rei threw her arms up in the air and shouted "Wrath of the Heavens!" A huge bolt of lighting shot down towards Shashu. The lighting caused a huge explosion.
'That should weaken his hold on Dekaiyajuu enough where he'll have to leave before he causes any real damage! Right, Kyoto?'
'…'
'Eh?
'Pay attention!'
'What!' A rocky fist came shooting out of the dust towards Rei. She pulled two of her swords out into a shape for an X to block. The fist slammed into the metal with enough force to make her fly back 13 feet (me and my friend tested it). Slowly Rei stood back up only to have her two swords shatter. She fell to her knees in a state of shock knowing that she's only one sword to go. The ogre continued on its rampage while Rei stared into the distance.
"Rei help us!" yelled Yusuke dodging another tree.
"What's wrong with her!" yelled Kuwabara.
"I don't know!"
Half an hour later the gang were scattered on the ground, gasping for breath.
"I think it's time to take our leave, Shashu," said Jiyuu who had bound Hiei to a tree.
"Yes, let's," agreed Shashu. "One more thing…" Jiyuu held up and four and Shashu a two, with their fingers.
"What's that suppose to mean!" yelled Kuwabara slowly getting off the ground. The two unwanted guest smirked and vanished, along with Dekaiyajuu. The bounds on Hiei vanished once they left and her ran over to the still-shocked Rei.
"Onna!" yelled Hiei, shaking her, "Snap out of it!" Rei's eyes refocused and she bolted off deep into the woods.
'No!' cried Rei. After two hours of running she stopped at a waterfall.
'42 hours isn't a lot of time...well…now it's 40 hours…'
'That son of a-!'
'What's done is done! What are you going to do?'
'I guess I don't have a choice.'
'Are you going to-?'
'Yeah.'
'I doubt you have to go that far.'
'I should have never done it in the first place! Half-breeds aren't aloud to have a life…I should have never stayed here…'
'Just when I thought she was free…' thought Kyoto to herself.
"There you are," said Hiei coming out of the bushes. Rei didn't bother looking at him, only stared at the water. Hiei sighed and sat down beside her. "Are you okay?"
"This isn't working," she suddenly said. Hiei looked at her in question.
"What isn't working?"
"Us. I'm sorry Hiei but I'm breaking up with you." Rage and confusion formed in his eyes.
"Why? What brought you to this!" Rei put her hand on Hiei's shoulder.
"I'm sorry." Rei sent a small bolt of lighting through Hiei's body, knocking him out. "Fang." Fang stepped out of the shadows as soon as his name was called.
"Yes?"
"Thanks for keeping those two goon's tigers out of the picture."
"Your welcome. Are you okay?"
"I will be…let's go." Rei picked up Hiei and sunk into the shadows.
Rei reappeared in the living room and laid Hiei down on the couch.
"I knew you were lying when you said the necklace was why you could use shadows," said Kurama. "What happen to Hiei?"
"He's fine." Kai came down with a bag and threw it at Rei.
"Going some where?" asked Kurama.
"I'm leaving for awhile." Kurama put a hand on her shoulder.
"I can't let you do that." Rei sent a bolt of lighting through Kurama, knocking him out. Rei set him on the chair next to the couch
"Sorry," she said putting a note on Kurama's head.
"A little harsh don't you think?" commented Kai.
"Yeah…maybe…"
"Rei?"
"Hm?"
"Why did you put the note on his head?" Rei looked at Kurama then back to Kai.
"So he doesn't lose it."
'So she puts it on his head?'
"Well, I'll see you," said Rei heading out the door with Kai following.
"One more thing…"
"Yeah?"
"DON'T GET US KILLED!" yelled Kai.
"Okay!" Both of them took one last look at each other before going there separate ways.
30 minutes later…
Hiei groaned while holding his head. "What happen?" Suddenly his memories came back to him. Hiei narrowed his eyes and growled. "Wait to I get my hands on her!"
"Do you have to be so loud, Hiei?" groaned Kurama. Kurama stood up and a piece of paper fell off his head. "Huh? What's this?" Kurama picked it up and read it out loud for Hiei to hear. It said:
Dear who-ever is reading this (most likely Kurama),
Do not worry about me! I have to visit someone and I don't know when I'll be back but I will be back! Sometime! Don't come looking for me! I'm fine. Don't worry about me! Tell Hiei I'm sorry…and anyone else I hurt but mostly Hiei…Okay…I'm gonna go now…remember to watch out for the fuzzy blue bunnies from outer space! DON'T COME LOOKING FO ME!!
With Love,
Rei :P
P.S- Kai went to the Makai and I have no idea where he went so do worry about him…Don't look for him either!
P.S.S- Fang is with me so you don't have to worry about that either…
P.S.S.S- Kurama can you PLEASE get my homework for school! I would wuv you forever! You can be my bestest best friend! Being the nice guy you are I am assuming you are going to so thanks!
"Well at least she left a letter…Did she knock you out too?" asked Kurama.
"Yeah…"
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing…" Kurama didn't believe him but decided not to press it. "I'm going out."
"Okay…"
"Here you go; one root beer," said the bartender at a Makai tavern.
"Thanks," said Rei with a cloak on. She had decided to rest for a little bit since it was like two in the morning.
'Hello my love!' shouted a voice in Rei's head. Rei started to choke on her root beer.
'What the hell!'
'Eh? Not this guy...'
'Guess what? I'm coming to get you!'
'Eh?'
'That's right! Just hang tight and I'll come get you!'
'But I don't want you to come get me!'
'You don't have a choice! See you soon my love!'
'One thing before you leave…'
'Yes?'
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" she yelled. The whole bar stopped what they were doing and stared at her.
'Oops…'
'Good job.'
"Um…I'm drunk! GO alcohol!" she yelled raising her glass in the air.
"Yeah!" shouted everyone also raising his or her glass in the air.
"But that's root beer…" said the bartender.
"I'm drunk…on sugar," said Rei.
"Okay…Welcome sir!" Rei turned to see who had just come in and was not happy at what she saw. 'What is Hiei doing here?'
'Well, that's strange. Must be fate.'
Hiei went and sat at the other end of the bar. Soon after he sat down, a girl with bleach blonde hair and pink eyes came over to him and started talking to him. Shockingly, he talked back.
'WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING FLIRTING!'
'Remember, you broke up.'
'It hasn't even been a day yet! Next time I see him…GRRR!' Rei smashed the glass in her hands into pieces.
"Oh, your hand!" said the bartender. The bartender handed her another glass. "Here."
"Mad?" a voice asked suddenly. Rei jumped in surprised causing the glass fly into the air and land on the voice's head, Jiyuu's head to be more precise. "What was that for?"
"Sorry. You appeared out of nowhere," sighed Rei.
"Ready to go?" Jiyuu asked. Taking one last look at Hiei and nodded. "Okay lets go, my love!" Rei hit him in the head.
"Don't call me that."
'That…that was Jiyuu, Lord Akihiko's right hand man! Who was that cloaked figure?' thought the scared bartender.
Koenma's office…
"We have to go find her! She could be hurt!" yelled Yusuke pacing around the room.
"Yusuke, calm down. She told us not to go after her," said Kurama who was sitting.
"Urameshi's right! She could be hurt!" said Kuwabara.
"Be calm? I can be calm! She's like my little sister! I worry!" Kurama looked over to Hiei who was leaning on the wall. Usually he would have said something by now. Nope, he was just looking at the note.
"Hey, Shorty! You're her boyfriend! Where is she?" shouted Kuwabara. Wrong move. Hiei turned and glared intently at the idiot. The top of the paper caught fire.
"Ah! Don't catch the note on fire!" yelled Yusuke, taking it out of Hiei's hands and stomping on it, putting out the fire. "This is the only connection we have left to Rei!"
"EVERYONE SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN!" yelled Koenma. Yusuke and Kuwabara fell to the floor and sat Indian position. "I'm sure Rei is fine! We have more important things to talk about."
"Like what?" growled Yusuke.
"Like the Makai tournament coming up!"
"Not that thing again!"
"You created it!"
"Yeah…"
"Well, last time's winner decided that he wanted the tournament to be in teams of five…"
"So we have to go?" asked Kurama.
"Yes."
"Even Kuwabara?" asked Yusuke.
"Yup."
"Oh yeah! This time I get to come! Go me!" shouted Kuwabara.
"Who's are fifth member?" asked Kurama.
"The old hag?" asked Yusuke.
"No. The daughter of my fathers friend."
"WHAT? A girl!" yelled Kuwabara.
"We have to have a girl on our team!" complained Yusuke.
"Rei was a girl," pointed out Kurama.
"Yeah but Rei was a guy-girl, not a girl-girl!"
"Um…what?"
"She was one of the guys."
"I wonder what Rei would do if she heard that." Everyone began to imagine what Rei would do. Here's what they came up with:
"I AM NOT A GUY!" she would yell taking out her guns and shooting Yusuke and everyone else who just happen to be in the way. "TAKE THIS!" Rocket launcher time! KABOOM!
Everyone paled at the thought. They did not want to get her mad but she wasn't here so it didn't make a difference. Koenma coughed to get everyone's attention.
"Back to your new member. She's here…"
"She's here Lord Akihiko," announced Shashu.
"Good. Let her in," said Akihiko. Big red wooden doors were opened and in walked Rei. "It's good to see you again. Rei."
"Can't say I feel the same," said Rei.
"That's too. Anyway lets get down to business."
