Chapter 16: Morning Of Terror
Luna awoke at sunrise to see Kurama sleeping peacefully. She recalled what had happened to her the night before and shivered at the though of it. She sat up and looked outside to see that the night was beginning to fade and she would soon be battling Kotuku. She looked over at Kurama and began to try to get him up. She shook him once, nothing happened. She shook him a few more times until he began to wake up. He slowly opened his eyes and looked up at Luna. She only smiled at him. He sat up and gave her a light kiss on her lips. "Good morning to you too." She said. She got out of bed and stretched her arms.
Kurama was still in bed just watching Luna. 'I wonder why Kotuku tried to hurt Luna whenever she didn't do anything.' He wondered. He had a quick flash back of what he saw last night, but that quickly faded. He was worried for Luna. He liked her a lot and he didn't want her to be hurt by anyone, especially Kotuku. He got out of bed and went to the sliding doors. He looked outside and wondered of what the day was going to bring forth. He looked back at Luna, who was now looking at him.
She walked up to him and stood by him. "Thanks for saving me last night." She said. "I don't know why he did that, but he just did."
"Maybe he was envious that you have someone who cares for you." Kurama suggested. "He seemed pretty upset whenever he saw me holding you." He wrapped his arms around her and gave her a hug. "I don't care if he's envious, it's your choice of who you like."
Luna was hugging Kurama, though she was wonder about why Kotuku had tried severely hurt her. She let those thoughts fade away and she let go of Kurama. "I'm going to go get changed. Thanks again." Then, she walked out of the room and down the hallway to her room to go and get dressed.
When Luna opened that door, Ame was awake and looking at her friend with curiosity. "I know what happened." Ame said. "I was awake the whole time, but I decided to let Kurama handle it." She gave a weak smile.
"So, then you knew that I was.." she began.
"You were with Kurama the rest of the night. I know." Ame said. "I'd be scared to go back to sleep too." Ame got out of bed and walked up next to her friend. "You ok?" she asked.
"Yeah, I'll be fine." Luna said. She gave Ame a smile. "Thanks Ame." She walked over to the dresser and pulled her usual blue and white kimono. "We'd better get everyone else up. We have a battle to take care of." She walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower.
Ame was busy waking the rest of the girls up. She didn't say anything to them about what happened last night but she just told them that Luna was in the shower and would soon be out.
Silver pulled Ame aside to talk to her. "What's going on?" she asked sternly.
"What do ya mean?" Ame asked. She decided to play dumb so Silver wouldn't know about last night.
"You know what I mean." Silver said. "I was awake last night too, but not as long as you were. The thing I saw was when Kurama came in and kicked Kotuku aside. What happened to her?"
"Kotuku tried to injure her while she was sleeping so she would be weak for the battle today. She woke up and tried to escape, but Kotuku forced her to keep quiet." Ame said. She covered her mouth at what she had just said.
"I won't say anything." She assured her. "But I just wanted to know what happened. I won't say a word to Luna about it ok?"
Silver walked away as Luna came back into the room, dressed with her hair up in a ponytail. "Hurry up guys. We need to be outside in a little." Luna reminded them.
After the girls were done, they walked down the hallway to make sure that the guys were awake. Kurama was already outside his door and so was Hiei. Botan walked into Yusuke's room and tossed him out of bed.
"Rise and shine!" she said.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!?! I was gonna get up.." he said. He got up from the floor and walked into the bathroom.
Then, she woke up Kuwabara by doing the same thing. He didn't complain as much as Yusuke did, but he still was cranky.
Ame walked up to Hiei and she gave him a hug. "Goo0o0od morning!" she said cheerfully. Hiei just rolled his eyes but hugged her back. Luna was with Kurama and together, they all walked down the hallway to go outside.
Once outside, Yusuke and the others came out after them. They stood at the spot where they had battled once before, but Kotuku and his teammates weren't there yet. They waited for 10 minutes and then, they saw him, along with his teammates, walking towards them. Luna shivered when she saw Kotuku. She turned away as he came closer with each footstep.
"Well, at lest you showed up." He sneered. "Though, some of you might not return." He smirked. "I already have my warrior chosen for the next battle." Helix came forth. Helix stood about 5'8 and had a white tank with baggy white pants. His hair was almost a sky blue and his eyes were hazel.
"Ame, you ready?" Luna asked her friend.
"No prob!" she said. She walked forth and up to Helix.
"You may begin whenever you like." Kotuku sneered.
"Since I'm such a gentlemen, I'll allow you to hit me first." Helix offered. Ame made a slight "hmph" sound and didn't move.
"I like a challenge." She said. "But I don't accept offers. A true warrior is one who will attack whenever he or she feels it's right."
Helix gave a chuckle to her quick speech. He disappeared from sight and reappeared high above her. "If you're not too afraid of heights, we'll fight in the air." He yelled down at her. Ame had the wind lift her into the air. "No problem with me." She said. She gave a smirk at him.
Helix quickly dove at Ame with a punch with she easily dodged. He tried so many easy moves it wasn't even funny. A punch here, a kick there, and each time, he missed. Ame decided that she had enough with his games and decided to pull a powerful attack. She began to chant a spell.
"Air, fire, earth, and spirit. Lend me your strength. Defeat this enemy with one swift attack." She raised her hands to the sky, which made the clouds go black.
"What is she doing?" Yusuke asked.
"So pulling all of her energy into the sky and then is going to send that energy to Helix." Luna explained. "This is one of her most powerful attacks. It's called Reshin."
Ame continued to give her energy to the sky. When she only had little energy left, she lowered her hands and pointed her hands palm up towards Helix. "RESHIN!" she yelled. The clouds suddenly let out a dark lighting bolt and it headed straight for Helix. Helix jumped to the side, but the bolt followed. He lowered it to the ground and then jumped away from it, so it would hit the ground and miss him. His plan worked and the bolt hit the ground, causing a dent to form. Ame's eyes grew wide. 'That attack never missed, so how could he have dodged it?' she asked herself. Helix appeared above her and kicked down hard in the middle of her back. Ame let out a small scream and then started to fall to the ground. She used what energy she had left to make the wind catch her just inches before falling to the ground. She stood up. Helix landed and smirked at his opponent. Knowing she had little energy left, he decided to let his powers unleash.
Helix clutched both of his fists and concentrated hard on the ground. The earth began to shake. He sent a wave of the ground straight at Ame. She jumped away but was still hit by the wave. It knocked her to the ground, unconscious. Helix took advantage at this and sent another wave at her. Just seconds away from it hitting her, Hiei jumped in front of the wave and grabbed Ame. He jumped away with Ame in his arms.
"There has been an interference in the match. I declare Helix the winner." Kotuku said. Hiei landed and walked back over to his team. Luna rushed up to Ame, making sure that her friend was all right.
"She needs rest but she'll be fine." Hiei said. He took her and laid her down on the ground, and then he sat down by her, keeping watch on the other team.
Luna let a growl escape her throat. She began to run towards Kotuku but Kurama restrained her. "Luna, not yet. You will battle him later." He said. "Wait until then to lash out at him." Luna struggled to get loose but gave up because she knew Kurama wouldn't let her fight Kotuku now.
"Now, now, Luna. You know better." Kotuku sneered. "I thought your mother raised you better than that." Luna growled again, but refused to go after him.
