I'm still accepting characters, just to let ya'll know. Here's chapter two, oh how exciting!
The Laser-Tag War
By Ryoken
Once one note of the music had reached his ears, Hiei shot off towards the direction of where he thought the red team's base might have been. Almost immediately however, he ran head on with someone who was rounding the corner. As they recovered themselves, the boy whom Hiei had collided with made the first move.
"Whoa. You look almost like me...Who are you?" The boy said mysteriously, dropping his guard and forgetting that he was facing an opponent.
"Hiei, what of it?" Hiei asked. He immediately shot at the boy's armor, and, thinking he had hit it when he didn't, let his guard drop a little as well.
The boy nodded in affirmation. Now that he was looking directly at the boy, he was almost shocked into showing emotion. The boy was about Hiei's height, though slightly taller, had black spiky hair with blonde tips at the end, navy blue eyes, and wore a black long sleeved shirt with black pants. But that wasn't what surprised him. What did was that he had a Jagan eye, just like he did and although it was rather dark in that room, Hiei could tell that the boy had a nodatchi on his back. He could be no more than thirteen.
"I'm Korinou Hariachi," the boy said, smiling. "Oh yeah!" Korinou remembered. He raised his gun and shot at Hiei's armor, making a hit, and ran off with the same speed that Hiei had.
Hiei stood there for a few seconds, thinking that perhaps he had met his long lost twin brother, then shook his head. Don't be stupid, he thought and he raced to find the baka.
"This is almost as boring as if we were back home!" Yusuke complained. No one but yellow teammates were coming up and down the ramp.
"I agree. Defending the turf is a lot less fun than going out to seek and destroy," said one of his fellow defenders. She looked around seventeen, had thin red hair that stopped at her waist, but that was because it was put into a high pony tail. One lock of hair in front of her face was very strange. It was a spiral of blue and black. Her seemed stranger, but Yusuke figured it was because of the lighting because her left eye was blue and her right eye was green. She wore jean shorts, a dark blue tank top, sneakers, a green anklet, and what looked like a large dragon earring that attached itself behind her left ear.
The girl lifted herself so she could sit on the railing. "Name's Riko."
"Yusuke Urameshi," he replied.
Still sitting on the rail, she turned around to get a view of the first floor of the arena. She took aim and shot a few times. "Got 'em!" She smiled.
Yusuke looked over the railing. "Where??" She pointed towards a doorway where a girl was looking around quickly for the person who attacked her. He decided to take aim as well and hit with the first shot.
"Not bad, Urameshi!" She laughed.
"I've had practice," he said, pretending to blow the smoke off of his gun.
Suddenly, a girl with long brown hair that seemed to be black in the light and green eyes wearing the red team armor came running up the ramp and began shooting at the target on the ceiling that would sound an alarm, telling people in the arena that the base had been hit. With the four of the defenders, she was shot at immediately, and even though she had to go and recharge in order to shoot again, she kept shooting up at the ceiling. Then she ran down the ramp yelling "YOU WILL REMEMBER THE NAME KEAIRA SOON ENOUGH!!!!"
Riko looked at Yusuke with a blank look. "That was rather weird..."
"Yeah." And so the two continued to pick off people and watch as they looked around for the one who done it.
"Hmm, now I think the green team base was over this way," said Keaira. Korinou was beside her.
"Are you sure?"
"I think so. If only I had that map that was in the instruction room!" She said.
"I'll scout head." He was gone for a mere five seconds. "Yeah, it's up this way a bit. I can see the slits for the defenders."
"Great! Let's go," she said, quietly running towards the side of one of the entrances.
"Careful, there's a defender right at the entrance!" Korinou whispered.
"I'm trying to...to..." Keaira started to say when she saw the defender.
"What the...Hey what's up with you?" Korinou questioned.
"Kurama..." She said, and, zombie-like, she started walking toward Kurama, who was defending the side entrance.
Korinou sighed. "Girls," he said, hanging onto the back of Keaira's shirt so she would be unable to be hit dumbly by all sides.
She regained her senses and turned on him. " Just what do you think you're doing?!?!?"
"Keeping you from being an easy target."
"I don't care about the stupid game anymore! I'm gettin' myself a Kurama!!!!" She said. Realizing that this could present an excellent chance to get inside the base, he let go of her shirt and watched as Kurama ran back into the base after realizing the gun wasn't about to stop Keaira, and ran out the other entrance, the fangirl right behind him. Korinou took the abandonment of one of the positions to use his speed to get into the base quickly and quietly, and as the defenders were all watching poor Kurama try to hide from Keaira, not knowing what to do, Korinou accurately set off the alarm, racing out as soon as the team turned around.
"Damn it!!!" Said a girl with long silky black hair, violet eyes, and pale skin. She wore a black short-sleeved shirt and a gray long-sleeved shirt underneath. She wore black pants with a chain, skateboarder shoes, and her ears were tripled-pierced. She looked about sixteen. I could've sensed and stopped that guy if I hadn't been watching Kurama being chased by that rabid fangirl!!! She thought to herself. But then she started to sense something else. Hiei ran by, full-throttle, even though no one else could see him. Man, if only Kurama had picked Hiei as a defender..., she said, as she began to daydream a little bit. Then she shook her head. No, stop daydreaming, Rei Kazama. You've gotta focus on who else is going to come and attack the base, but telling herself this was practically pointless as she slipped off into another daydream about Hiei.
"Hey, Admiral, I got the green base!" Korinou exclaimed to a girl that had long black hair with purple high lights and navy blue eyes. She wore black jeans and a ruby red T-shirt.
"Awesome!!" Admiral said. She had been chosen as one of the defenders for the red team. "I wish I could've been there, instead of sitting around here."
"Maybe not. That girl Kaeira is chasing poor Kurama around, that's how I got in," he laughed.
"Another tally for the Kurama fangirls," she said, making an imaginary tally mark in front of her.
"And another tally for the green team!!!" Came a voice from out of no where as the red base's alarm went off. "That's for Kurama!"
"Who...What just happened?" Admiral asked.
"That would have been Hiei. I ran into earlier, he's just as fast as I am. Just as cleaver too, I guess," Korinou said, rather stunned by the surprise attack as well.
"Hey, who's the poor guy being chased down there?" Riko asked. Yusuke looked in her direction and saw a red-head being chased by that weird girl who proclaimed that they would remember her name, Keaira.
"Hey, that's Kurama!! Yusuke almost shouted. "Aww man, why'd there have to be fangirls in here???"
"Fangirls, huh? Looks like he's gonna have a hell of a time shaking her off his tail. Maybe we-" But Riko's sentence was cut off as Kurama hid for a moment, leading Keaira to believe he had gone a different path, and hurried up the ramp.
Yusuke shot his armor and grinning. "Having fun?"
Out of breath, Kurama shook his head. "Please Yusuke, you've got to hide me from...from her. I figured we'd run into fangirls here, but not one so persistent as she is!!" Kurama said. He took off the armor. "Shoot at it as many times as you'd like just keep her away me, please!"
Yusuke seemed to contemplate the matter, but Riko answered before he could. "We'll do what we can to keep her away from you," she said, smiling and putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Thank you, uh?"
"Riko. And you're welcome."
The other defenders had argued a bit as Kurama sat and hid behind a pillar, away from the ramp, but when they heard they could get as many points from shooting the armor before it had to be recharged, they happily agreed. Yusuke and Riko continued to pick off people, especially Keaira, who didn't really seem to care too much anymore.
Was it good? Great? Spectacular? Crappy? Review!!
