tired!!!!
The Dark Side:Cured?

Manta ran to Yoh and jumped onto the bench by Yoh as Yoh's eyelids
flickered open, a single last drop of sweat trickling from his forehead
and to the ground.

"Yoh's okay!" Manta yelled.

'And we're whole again!' Amidamaru noted.

The group of spirits, and Manta, jumped into the cool night air in
rejoicing relief. "Yeah!" Manta exclaimed at the same time as the
others.

'Woohooo!' Yeno.

'Yeyeyeyeee!' Kaki-Ri.

'Alright!' Nightshade.

'Wooo!' Amidamaru.

Yoh looked on in curiosity as the group rejoiced and took their turns
congratulating and thanking Nightshade.

"What's, going on, guys?" Yoh asked.

'You passed out.' Yeno remarked with an amused smile on his face. 'You
had a very high fever.'

"I did?"

Manta nodded, smiling. "Yeah, you did, but you're okay now.
Nightshade cured your fever." he stated.

"I have a thank you to issue, then." Yoh said, turning to face the girl
spirit of a witch.

'No need to thank me, Lord Yoh. We are even. You helped me once, I've
had the honor to return the favor.' Nightshade said as she smiled and
walked off, leaving the group behind.

'If you ever need anything, just ask!' Yeno called after her.

Manta smiled up at Yoh as he stood up onto his feet, his sandles
picking dust up into the air as he put them onto the ground to stand
up. "Glad you're okay." Manta said.

"Yeah." Yoh said absently.

"Pick me up for a minute." Manta instructed.

Nodding, Yoh leaned down and picked his smaller friend up as asked.
"Why, though?" he asked.

"This is why."

With that, Manta leaned up and pulled Yoh's head closer to him and
closed his eyes as he kissed Yoh shortly but gently on the lips.

The entire graveyard spirits (that were still there) cheered as Yoh
lost his footing from surprise and fell back onto the bench with a
light thud.

'It looks as though Lord Manta finally got the nerve to what he's been
wanting to do for a while now.' Amidamaru said.

Yeno nodded in agreement.

As Manta pulled back, Yoh blinked in amazement at his friend's nerve
before he threw his arms back around his neck and kissed him in return.

This time, it was Manta who was caught offguard as Yoh returned the
kiss.

Yeno and Kaki-Ri glanced at each other and smiled as they clasped their
hands to each other's and Yeno kissed Kaki-Ri on the cheek.

From a distance away, a pair of dark blue eyes, as blue as ice, watched
the lovey scene as Amidamaru sweatdropped.

'Well, now, who have we here? I've heard of the two mortals, and my
son and that rat of a lover of his, but who is this?' the voice
attatched to the owner of the eyes said.

'He'll be trouble.' a second voice said as the second one advanced
forward.

'You did your work well, "Nightshade", I'm proud. Transform back.'

A smirk came across Nightshade's face as she was covered in mist and
black hair covered her head, a long black braid slinking down past her
waist, her eyes slanting and turning solid red as her body got taller
and even more muscular.

'Nice, Resun.'

'Thanks.' the new person standing in Nightshade's place said. "But I
stand by what I said.'

'What would that be?'

Resun looked at the standing samurai and sneered. 'That the samurai
will be trouble for your plan.' he stated. 'Jeniq-Da, the samurai will
hae to go if your plan will succeed.'

'No, no, he's no threat. He had the right idea, a spell will return my
Sasi to his slumber. But not one anyone without the Book of the Dead
knows.' Jeniq-Da said.

'If you are sure.'

'I'm positive. Get down there, now, and play your part.'

'Right. Hey- where'd the samurai go?'

'Nevermind him. Maybe he's, I don't know, out with a samurette, or
something. Just get there and play your role. The Sasi Anubis gave
you repentance for aiding Seth to fulfill your role with me and do as
you're told. NOw, before I change my mind about you being a good
choice on my part, get down there and fulfill your end! Now!'

Resun gasped as he jumped quickly out of the treebranch and his body
transformed again on his way down.

'That Deadfoot Fleet Leader was the highest in rank at the Beginning of
Time, Moradai said. He's very highly recommended, he said. Served the
Almighty Sasi Seth, he said. His Chameleon-like deceit powers are top-
notch, he said.'

Jeniq-Da shook his head a few times. How hopeless was Moradai? He'd
tried to correct the lad repeatedly.

'If he weren't dead already, I'd kill him.'
