Chapter Five:: Awwwwwwwww MAN!



(An:: I think this is the last chapter that starts with the kits..anyone confused by my story yet?)

Shuuday stepped out ready for a fight. He had appeared in what looked to be the middle of a forest...but it was almost bare of all leaves. "Strange.must be too cold now.what do you think Shippou?....Shippou?" he jerked his head around, the other two were nowhere to be seen. He couldn't smell them either. "awwwww MAN! Now what?"

He sniffed the air. If he couldn't see or smell his siblings maybe he could find someone to help.no he had to do this himself "I don't need ningen help!"

With that he started walking in a random direction. "Straight lines always lead somewhere" (An:: He's a kid! What did you expect?)

After about an hour of crisp autumn air and bare branches, the faint smell of ningens was creeping into his sensitive nose. He wrinkled it. "That's not quite right.." He strained all his senses, something was up around here..but he couldn't quite place it.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Rin ran. She ran until her sides hurt then kept at it. Eyes wide and tail flying she kept a white knuckled grip on her naginata. She chanced a glance behind her and made some kind of squeek and forced herself to go faster.

She had come out of the portal to find her self face to face with a giant panther like cat about twice her height. ((say about just below Hiei's height standing on all fours)) Her brothers had not been with her so she did the first thing that came to mind. RUN AND RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!

Normally she would have been able to outrun a ningenkai creature and this DEFINITELY wasn't from the human world. SO WHAT THE HECK WAS IT?! Summoning all of the knowledge she had on large cats she started making sharp turns. It only slowed the creature a bit and it kept catching up! Rin was running out of strength and fast.

Turn! Run! Jump!! Duck! Turn! Run! Run! RUN!!!! But it was no use she was slowing down considerably and it was getting harder to dodge. She made a sharp turn around a tree. Big mistake.

She went down hard. Eyes wide the breath knocked out of her Rin shakily used the staff of her weapon to get up and turned around. It was the first time she had a good look at the cat. It was a smoky grey and had orangish colored eyes. ((as in close to pumpkin orange)) It's large ears and feet were tipped with black and so was it's tail. But what really caught her attention were the black markings on it's face. It was in a language almost, a specific pattern that she could almost read. Resisting the erg to reach out and touch it, Rin suddenly darted to the left leaving the cat startled for only a moment.

//Shippou, Shuuday, where are you?\\

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Shippou looked around. He needed to rest for a while. It was cold and his vest wasn't as warm as it looked. He had appeared in a large clearing that smelled of youkai and it was still freaking him out. The strain of screaming for his siblings for the last hour hadn't helped at all.

Hopelessly lost he sat down on a patch of ferns to think about what had happened. He went into a kind of daze as those thoughts slipped into memories of home and their parents.

Mother was where his reddish hair came from. She had had a soft kind voice and pretty dark brown eyes that Rin had gotten. She was the one that had made him feel better when scared. She'd sing a song, a lullaby; he could barely remember it now it had been so long. But he remembered she had the most beautiful voice like water flowing through a stream. Soft and gentle calming but stern. He tried to remember the words he desperately needed to hear it again.

Shippou could already hear the tune of a flute. Yes that was it! He smiled half asleep listening to it the words were coming. Mother had played such lovely tunes. It was always on an ivory flute. Embroidered with emerald vines, the sounds on it as clear and sharp as diamond. He opened his eyes sleepily and frowned. That tune was real! "Mama?"

He jumped up and looked around straining his ears. The sound was coming from..THAT WAY! Face set in determination Shippou set off running to the west. Right into the setting sun.

//I'll find you mother just don't stop playing!\\

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hiei flitted from tree to tree heading towards his normal resting place near the park. Quickly leaving the others behind he started thinking about all of this. //that girl...Brin was her name...she was too much like Yukina..something's just not right..\\

He balanced on a high branch and looked across the forest. //Koenma isn't telling us something..and neither are those ferrygirls..I should probably ask Kurama about it later\\ With that somewhat settled he got comfortable on a strong enough branch to get some rest.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ ((An:: anyone notice they don't even know where to look yet?))

The next day was slightly warmer and the sun was out. Yukina was tending to the garden when she felt it. A strange sense that someone was coming. She looked around but no one was there.

"Hmm.maybe I'm just nervous." //but about what?\\

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Yusuke & Kuwabara meanwhile were busy still getting up the stairs.

"I swear that old hag needs to put in an elevator or something."

"Escalator"

"What?"

"An escalator, elevators only go strait up."

"...You have a point.HEY that was actually an intelligent comment!" Yusuke patted Kuwabara on the back. Who just glared at him, he was not up to an argument so he shut his mouth. Plus he didn't want to ruin his being able to see Yukina.

After about another ten minuets they were close to the top.

"What's got YOU clammed up?"

"Quiet Urameshi!"

Yusuke stuffed his hands in his pockets "well SOMEONE is in a crabby mood." they had finally made it up and into the back where everyone else was already waiting.

"It's about time you two got here" Genkai glared up at them "you were supposed to come half an hour ago."

Yusuke shrugged "couldn't make myself wake up early enough.or him" he jerked his head to Kuwabara. "Lazy ass wouldn't budge"

Before said oaf could respond, an all-too-well-known subsonic 'pop' was heard and there sitting perkily on her own oar was ViVi.

"What the hell?" Yusuke of course had a perfect view of...her back actually so he had no clue who it was. Kuwabara blinked "wha?" Boton didn't seem very surprised though.

"Ah! Good! Just in time ViVi!" she grinned and ViVi descended from her oar before balancing it on her right shoulder. "So. Did any of you happen to remember that you don't even know where to start looking?"

Everyone -as in Kuwabara, Yusuke and Kurama- sweatdroped. ViVi sighed "I thought as much.." Her dark eyes flashed with an invisible grin. Hiei grunted "get on with it woman." Kurama who hadn't really said much nodded to ViVi "We would much rather know everything about this before we start." ((An:: ^_^''' I just realized that I gave him hardly any lines the whole time...))

ViVi nodded a silent thank you for not being rude. "Yes well even rekai doesn't know very much about the two youkai.." she frowned ".all we know is that they may be sisters but are complete opposites..as you could probably tell yesterday..they have similar powers but it's different at the same time-"

"That makes no sense!" Yusuke folded his arms "speak so we can understand you"

"It's just you who doesn't get it Urameshi" Kuwabara smirked down at him.

"Do YOU get it?".The only repose was silence "I thought so" Yusuke said in triumph. ViVi cleared her throat "may I continue now?" Yusuke grinned "you sure can!" she sweat dropped but decided to let it go.

"Jair has a power over physical things.much like Kurama over plants..but with anything at all..and Brin seems to be able to control illusions of the mind and twist reality." ((An:: O.O for the yang Brin certainly seems scary..))

Blank stares from everyone and Boton seemed to had disappeared while ViVi was talking..
