Chapter29: Half a Team
Shea's P.O.V
I've scared them again. Stupid night, whatever it was! Damn it Toko, if you aren't almost causing me to bleed to death, your haunting my sleep., just leave me alone. As much as I'd like to say that's what I want, can't. All I want is my brother back. Not this power hungry asshole that's come to replace him. It was 11:30 when Yusuke told us we should get going. I was shaking. Keiko turned to me.
"Oh Shea, your all shaken up, are you sure you should fight today?" She asked, Picking Yuki up from his spot on the table.
"No it's ok Keiko, believe me I'll live." I said shakily. Yusuke walked over and put his hand on my shoulder.
"Shea listen, Kurama and Hiei are going to take a different way to the stadium, so you go with them ok?" He told me. I nodded. I then turned to face Keiko.
"Keiko, please take Yuki into the stands with you" I asked of her.
"Ok Shea, you can count on me!" She said. Yuki growled at me, wanting to go too.
"Yuki, your more use to the whole team if you go there the earliest" I said to my fox.
"Rooo…" He chirped in defeat, snuggling closer to Keiko. I went to Kurama and Hiei and we made a quick exit. As we walked, I took note of some of the better things of Hanging Neck Island. The flowers were so pretty, and the forests were amazing. As we got farther into the woods, I started to feel bored. I decided to poke at Hiei's attitude.
"So Hiei, there seems to be something going on with you and Azami, care to share with the class?" I asked. He shot me a death glare.
"What are you talking about princess?!" He growled.
"I don't know, she seems very protective of you, and vice versa especially in that fight between you and Gorio" I said in a teasing tone tinted with amusement.
"Shut up princess" Hiei snapped. I walked on Kurama's opposite side and smirked. Kurama grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him while we walked. I stuck my tongue out a Hiei and then rested against Kurama. I was glad Kurama was there. Hiei if not for Kurama, would have probably taken the courtesy to slit my throat by now. Kurama stopped walking, and so did Hiei.
"Kurama what's-" I was interrupted by him.
"Shh Shea, don't move" Kurama warned me. Holding me closer to him with one arm, he used his free hand to draw a rose from his shirt.
"Something's about to give us company." He whispered into my ear. I tensed up. I too, now felt the demonic aura around us. We definitely were not going to make it to the stadium on time. I wondered if our other three team members could pull it off while I awaited our foe to show itself.
