Beyond The Darkened Shadows.

Ch. 1. Truth about Strawberry.

*Yuri Warning* The Sorcerer Hunters have a tough job to do, so Big Momma pairs them up with another hunter, Strawberry. Strawberry likes to work alone, and she's got a reason. Also, something about Strawberry bothers Marron, she seems.....familiar.

WARNING: This story contains Yuri, which is love between two females. Yes, that means there are gay characters in this story. If you don't like that kind of thing, then go watch dubbed Sailor Moon or something. Also, flames will be used to reheat leftover french fries. ^_^


Disclaimer: I do not own the Bakuretsu Hunters (or as Lance put it, the Backerutsi Hunters,....? :: Raises eyebrow and shrugs:: I'm tying him to a chair and making him watch the theme 800 times. ::Demonic Smile::) Anyway, Akahori-sama and Omishi-sama
own them, Blah, Blah, Blah.

Now the Story.

A few hours later, Strawberry slowly turned the knob to the bathroom door open and peeked out. She felt a sudden hatred towards them. This was her mission, and her room, and she was locked in the bathroom.
"I do not want to work with these bakas." She thought to herself. She peeked out again at the disgusting scene. The spiky haired boy was fighting off the red haired women. 'Chocolat', they called her, and the boy's name was 'Carrot'. She could easily hear what they were talking about, and she wondered why Chocolat would put up with Carrot's nasty comments and back talking and still love him. She was pretty, she could easily go out and find another boy to fall head-over-heels for. The big, muscle-head was flexing in front of the mirror. Typical male. He pulled his shirt off and dropped it on the floor. He looked in the mirror again and straightened his hair before flexing again. The other girl was in bed, sleeping, her super-huge glasses sat on the nightstand next to the bed. Strawberry peeked out a little more to find the other boy, but she lost her balance and the door flew open, allowing her to fall on the floor. Everyone (except Tira, who was asleep) jumped a little and looked at her.
"Are you OK?" Marron asked. He had been standing right behind the door. He knew she was peeking out of the bathroom. Her blood boiled. How could he do that?
"Yeah," she said angrily, "I'm fine." She got up and stalked to the door. She grabbed her coat and quickly put it on. She opened the door.
"Wait," Gateau said, pushing the door shut. Strawberry quickly covered her nose as his armpit stench filled the air.
"What do you want?" Strawberry asked without looking up.
"Why are you giving us the cold shoulder?" He asked, looking down into her face. She couldn't avoid him now. She looked him straight in the eye and gave him an angry look.
"I have my reasons." She said hostile. Gateau didn't look amused.
"If it's the fact that Carrot tried to rape you-" Gateau started to say. Rape!!!! No one, especially a man, raped Strawberry. She felt something click inside of her. Although she usually kept her cool, something inside her snapped. Her pulse quickened, and temperature got hotter. She was now on the scale of VERY pissed off. "Don't worry about it, he does that to every girl." Gateau finished.
"Every girl....." Strawberry growled with an evil tone. Gateau finally noticed Strawberry had turned as red as her hair and backed off. She looked up with eyes that looked like they could kill on their own. Carrot saw his future go black, and his life flashed before him.
"I'm gonna die!" He thought to himself. Strawberry clenched her fist tightly.
"You mean to tell me that it's NOTHING that this...this MAN tries to RAPE EVERY GIRL HE SEES!!!"
::Sweatdrop Carrot::
"Well..." Carrot managed to squeak out. He hadn't felt true fear in his life, maybe once or twice with Chocolat before, but this time, Carrot was afraid. Very afraid.
"Yo, girl," Gateau said, "Calm down." Strawberry ignored him.
"I BET YOU HAVE A BOOK FILLED WITH GIRLS NAMES AND WHEN YOU'RE IN THE AREA, YOU GO FOR A GOOD FUCK!!!!!!" Strawberry's yelling woke Tira up and she put her glasses on to see what was going on. Just when Carrot thought his life was over, Strawberry burst into tears. She fell to her knees and put her head in her hands. Carrot sighed in relief. She looked up again and brushed the tears off, trying to stop crying. This surprised everyone. Marron slowly walked closer to try and comfort her, but Gateau gave him a 'don't do that' look and he backed off. "and you wait for them to call you because deep in your heart, you still love him..." She continued. Tira and Chocolat's eyes started burning and threatened to cry, but they held it in. Strawberry slowly got up and walked towards Carrot. Her eyes were still teary, but deadly looking. She stopped in front of him. Carrot wanted to run, but he was frozen with fear. Strawberry closed her eyes and raised her hand. A bluish glow appeared and she opened her eyes. "I will not allow it." She said softly. Marron realized at that second what would happen. His heart skipped a beat.
"NO!" He screamed, "DON'T USE MAGIC!!" Too late. Strawberry slapped him with the magic blast. There was a second of pure silence and everyone froze in fear. Strawberry looked around.
"What," she asked, "did I do something wrong?" She turned around and looked at Carrot. Her eyes grew wide and she too froze in fear. Carrot's hands transformed into claws and his back started growing hair. "HOLY CRAP!" Strawberry yelled, she turned to Gateau, "Is he a ware wolf?" Carrot started growing taller and horns grew out of his head and the skin wrapped around them. Strawberry forgot she was afraid and ran to the bed, diving under it. There was dust everywhere, and she coughed as she breathed it in. Carrot finished his transformation and busted a hole in the ceiling with a huge crash. A huge piece fell into the room and crashed where Strawberry used to be standing. When it hit the ground, it shattered and flew everywhere, hitting Chocolate and Tira in the head. They stumbled around for a second before being knocked out cold.
"Shit." Marron swore under his breath. He ran to Tira and tried to wake her up.
Gateau ran over to Chocolat and kneeled down beside her.
Chocolat," he said, "we need your help." Chocolat didn't move. There was a
Slight cracking sound below them, Marron looked up at Carrot and saw the huge crack in
the floor.
"Gateau," Marron screamed, "Watch out!" But Gateau couldn't hear Marron over
Carrot's growling and destruction. The floor fell a little with a bounce, then hung for a
second before the beam snapped and the floor fell into the lobby with a huge crash. Dust
flew up in Carrot's eyes and he roared with pain, knocking the rest of the wall out
Marron ran to the bed and bent down next to it. He reached underneath and amongst the
dust found Strawberry's hair. He grabbed a big chunk and pulled her out from under the
bed.
"Please," Strawberry pleaded, "I didn't mean to turn him into a ware wolf."
Marron couldn't help but chuckle a little.
"You didn't turn him into a ware wolf," he said, "he does that when he absorbs
magic." Strawberry felt relieved, but looked at the room, err, I mean the area where the
room used to be.
"How do you get him back to normal?" She asked. Marron looked at the bed
where Tira was knocked out.
"Usually Tira and Chocolat transform and whip him back, but..." Marron started
to say. Strawberry knew what she had to do. She stood up.
"I hate this so much." She said, and she did. She hated her little, skimpy
transformation outfit. But she unbuttoned her long, chinese-style red silk shirt and
reached behind her to pull it off. Her outfit consisted of huge, wide leg skater-style pants,
black, lace-up combat boots, a small, black sports-bra like halter-top, and a red headband
that held her red hair behind her so it flew out in the back. She reached for her whip and
looked at Carrot. "Little ware wolf..." She cried out. Carrot turned to look at her. His eyes
went huge with fear and he went SD. He no longer thought Strawberry was hot. The whip
snapped and he felt the pain not forgotten.*
~`~
"I'm sorry." Strawberry was on her knees, her hands were on her legs, and her
head was bowed down. The rest of the hunters watched anixely as Big Momma looked
down at Strawberry.
*I'm disappointed in you.* She said. Silence. Marron took a step forward. He took
a deep breath.
"It was my fault, Big Momma." He said.
"Marron..." Dota gasped. Big Momma looked at his suspissaly. Marron stood his
ground, though
*How?* She asked. Marron sighed.
"I insulted her." He said. Strawberry glanced back at him. Insulted her, well, if
that's the game he would play, then...
"So I got mad and put a sleep spell on everyone," she said, "I didn't know Carrot
was a ware wolf." Big Momma sighed.
*Just try to get along with them, Strawberry.* There was a puff of smoke and they
disappeared. Strawberry turned to Marron.
"Why did you say that?" She asked. Marron shrugged.
"You didn't know about my brother." he said.
"You didn't have to take the blame." She said, turning away. Marron looked at
her. She looked like someone he knew.
"I got off the hook, didn't I?" Marron asked. Strawberry laughed softly.
"You have a pure heart," She said, "you remind me of someone I used to know.
Marron gasped, it couldn't be... His thoughts were intrupted by Chocolat and Tira's
squealing.
"I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN WHIP DARLING!!!!" Chocolat yelled.
"Don't try to get closer to Carrot!" Tira yelled. Strawberry looked at the two girls
like they had lost their minds.
"Wait, girls..." She started to say.
"Wait NOTHING!!!" Chocolat yelled, "HE'S MINE!!"
'Don't get mad, don't get mad.' Strawberry said to herself.
"WELL!?" Tira yelled. Strawberry smiled. Chocolat's face grew red and she
raised her hand, and with a loud crack, slapped her.
"Bitch." She said. Strawberry regained her balance and looked at Chocolat.
"Bitch fight!" Carrot yelled. He was hit on the head by Tira, and was silenced.
Strawberry rubbed her face where she was slapped.
"There no way in hell I'd ever love your Carrot." she said. Chocolat looked at her.
"Why should I believe you," She asked, ready to transform.
"I have my reasons." Strawberry said, smiling. She closed her eyes. They stood
there for a few minutes like that. Chocolat looked up at her.
"Like what?" She asked, "why do you have reasons." Strawberry slowly walked
up to her and opened her eyes, looking up. They would find out eventually, why not now?
She took a deep breath, her heart was pounding, but she kept her poker face.
"Because..." she started to say.
"Because what?" Chocolat asked. Strawberry smiled.
"Because, my dear," she said, "I'm gay."

*The pain not forgotten refers to Chocolat and Tira's whips.

Yea!, Ch. 1 is done!!!! Ch.2 won't be up for a week or two (I still have to write it ^_^;; ) Please R/R. And Lance, if you flame me again, I'm going to put you in the story (trust me, you won't like it!)
