Nottori Written by: Fira Flame

I do not own these characters; they belong to their respective owners. Keeren belongs to me and Missy and Teri belong to Missy and Teri.

This is a re-written version of the original version I wrote in the summer of 2002, it sucked royal ass, so I'm re-writing it! Enjoy!

********************* Chapter 4

Teri smirked as she held her finger over the cake. She concentrated on the tip of it, imagining a flame. Slowly, a small candle like flame grew on her finger until it was if her finger was a zippo. She positioned it over the three long green candles. The wicks ignited into flame and Teri let the fire on her finger decease. She picked up the large cake and held it before her. In messy cursive icing read, 'Happy Birthday Legolas', in green and blue.

As she carried the cake to the living room, where they had moved the table to earlier, her friends began to sing the birthday song. Legolas looked a bit uneasy in his seat, as he'd remembered previous birthdays from long ago where harmful accidents had happened. Teri grinned to him, hoping to ease his worry, only barely knowing what he was worried about. Legolas managed a weak smile in return.

"Happy birthday Leggie-sama!" Teri cheered, setting the cake before the elven prince and quickly fastening a cone birthday hat around his head. The elven prince felt himself sink into his seat, his eyes glancing over the many faces before him down the long table and landed on the large cake. He could just see brothers laughing at him now.

The song ended in a chorus of applause, cheerful faces and loud laughs. Teri came up behind the elf and wrapped her arms around him.

"Blow out the candles!" She cheered, letting him go quickly, purposely letting her fingers graze over Legolas's pointed ears. Legolas shuddered at the chill it gave him, shooting a glare at Teri. He mentally sighed and blew out the three candles in a quick breath.

"What did you wish Legolas?" Chiriko asked, his face warm with laughter.

"If I tell, it shall never come true." Legolas smirked back at the teenager. Chiriko frowned and shrugged.

"Presents!" Teri exclaimed, pulling a thin rectangular package from under the couch. She walked over to Legolas and held it out to him. Legolas took the package and un-rapped it carefully. When he finished, he turned the canvas over to find the chalk work Teri had shown Renee earlier in the day. Legolas grinned at it, about to trace his long fingers over the canvas, put pulled back, know it would smear the beautiful art. He looked up to Teri who was looking at him hopefully.

"Thank you, it's wonderful." The elf said honestly, a grin set on his lips. Teri nodded.

"Your welcome." She walked up to him, reaching into her pocket and pulled a small silver chain out. "This is also for you." She wrapped the chain around his neck and clasped it carefully behind his neck. On the pendant was a small arrow engraved into a tiny platter of obsidian.

Teri looked up at the group of people standing quietly, watching the two. She quickly put her hands on her hips and reacted with:

"What the frag are you people staring at!"

"Well, we couldn't help to see how wonderfully close you two are." Melissa chuckled.

Teri felt herself blush slightly, half in anger at her sister. "Screw you Missy."

"Nope, sorry, I don't go that way." Melissa retorted in her usual fashion.

"Hey, come now." Legolas started, glancing quickly between the two women. "This is suppose to be a happy day." He put a gentle smile on his face, teeth an all, hoping to use independent 'wooing' to calm them down. Teri glanced down at Legolas, and then back to her sister. She looked back down at him, and wined a bit as she gave in and sat down at the chair. Melissa laughed and sat back down next to Tasuki.

Renee stretched out on the blanket. Up above her was the darkening sky, patches of dark purple and red still remained in the air, but all in all, it was night. Beneath her, the sharp grass and twigs pressed against her back, causing an inability to get comfortable.. But it was something she'd need to get used to for the rest of the night.

A small ball of light shot by her side as Chiriko and Tasuki ran by, both with sparklers in their hands. Renee imagined that even if Tasuki was already the age of twenty, he still was a child deep inside.... a very loud, cussing child.

Melissa laid a large board of plywood down on the ground. Picking up two gallon jugs, she poured water all over it, soaking it through. The perfect pad for launching their fireworks.

"All set!" She called over to Keeren, who was indolently digging through a large paper bag, which inside held all the spectacular fireworks inside. Keeren looked up and gave thumbs up. She then picked the pack up and trotted over to Melissa.

"Lets keep it a good distance away from the pad, we don't wanna risk them catching on fire." Keeren said, setting them down three or four meters away.

"Yeah, you do that." Melissa replied, reaching into the bag and pulling out a cube shaped package of red and purple. Printed on it was a small green dragon and the words 'Pearls of the Orient' in bold japanese font. Melissa grinned as she held it before her face. She pulled a zippo out of her pocket and lit the fuse, quickly set it down on the platform and raced backwards to where Keeren was, who grabbed the bag of fireworks, in case of an emergancy.

Suddenly, out of the crown of the cube shot up a fountain of purple sparks. Cracklers exploded from the fountain and erupted in loud snaps. A shrill scream of sound came from it as the screamers kicked in.

Tasuki and Chiriko stopped parading around with sparklers to turn and watch the spectacular. Tasuki had a wide grin on his face, while Chiriko stood in amazement. He'd seen fireworks back in konan, but had never been this close.

The field was suddenly blanketed in darkness again as the screaming died down as well as the sparks. Clapping and whistles were heard from the group as Melissa took a bow.

"And now! Bitches and gentlemen!" She shouted, walking through them as she reached down to a blanket and picked up a large object. "Not only will I light, not one, not two, but THREE fireworks at once, but I will do it with none only, than the famed Tessen!" Melissa held forth the diamond fan, a wide grin on her face.

"Missy, I don't think that's the smartest thing to do." Keeren said, as she watched Melissa dig through the bag.

"You worry too much." The healer replied, holding three Roman Candles in her arms. "Nothing is gonna happen!"

Keeren's eyes widened when she saw the Roman Candles. "You're not seriously- "

"Shut up Keeren! I know what I'm doing!"

Melissa hummed Rammstien's 'Du Hast' loudly as she lined the Roman Candles in a row. Behind her, Keeren continued to protest against the healer's stupid actions, but did she listen? Nope. Teri laughed out loud as she watched her sister do the most idiotic thing she'd ever seen.

Melissa held the diamond fan in both hands as she tested the weight of it. She cleared her throat loudly, hoping to catch the attention of everyone around her.

"Rekka Shin'NEN!" She screamed, swinging the Tessen like a baseball bat. Large flames rushed out of the tip and at the fireworks.

[author's note]Missy no BAKA!![/author's note]

The three roman candles suddenly exploded in a heat of light and sound. Shots of silver fireballs leapt from the ball of flames leaving a comet trail behind. Several screams and shouts were heard as people ducked and dodged silver fire racing in their direction.

After about thirty seconds of light and sound, the field was darkened again and was quieter than hell. After a moment or two, someone shouted out from in the field.

"MISSY!! YOU IDIOT!!"

Five minutes later, people were scrambling around the field, desperately trying to put out the flames. Teri easily put some fires out with her elemental abilities, but some were harder than others.

GT-Trunks dashed over to a patch of fire near the trees. He summoned his strength and jolted his hands forward, a blast of air gushing from it. The fires went out, but he couldn't help but feel that something was wrong in the area. A small ki was around, but it was so small he couldn't catch who it was. But the ki was so familiar, he had to check it out. It seemed young or feminist, so it might have been Chiriko. Trunks searched for a bit, before looking in a patch of high grass.

There lay a young girl in the grass. She had long ice blue hair pooling around her body with pale skin. Trunks was dumbfounded in the clothing she was wearing. She wore a cape over a sleeve-less shirt and a mini skirt with black leather boots. All in a scheme of blue.

"Miss?" Trunks asked, reaching down and touching her shoulder. A shot of light from his finger tips and into her, like a shock of static. Trunks blinked before asking for her again. No response. He guessed that she might have been struck by some of the fireworks or knocked out by his wind attack. But he was still confused at her choice of clothing.

Sighing, he took her into his arms and began to carry her back to where all his friends were.

*********************

"Hey, who's the chick?" Tasuki inquired, pointing idly at GT-Trunks. Trunks walked up to the group quietly, holding the girl in his arms before everyone caught notice of her.

"I found her unconscious in a patch of grass. I'm pretty sure she was either knocked out from the fireworks or my trying to put out the fires."

"What an odd choice of clothing" Renee implied.

"I'm going to take her back to the house so she can rest. Maybe then when she wakes up we can ask what happened" Trunks said.

"Let me heal her first." Melissa stepped forward, holding her palm out. Trunks nodded and Melissa held her hand over the girl She concentrated for a moment before small white bubbles came from her hand and over the girl. Any injuries that they could not see were healed.

"There, I'm done." Melissa stated when she finished, stepping back. Trunks nodded again, before walking towards the house and taking off in flight.

"All right! Who's ready for the finally!!" Melissa turned to the group and reached into the bag for the last of the fireworks.
