Chapter 13: Water vs. Fire vs. Plant
~ Right outside the castle moat with Yusuke, Kuwabara, Botan, Kurama, and
Hiei ~
Kurama: A moat? That's why you had to stop, Hiei? *looks around* Hiei? Hiei?
Hiei: *up in a tree; teeth chattering*
Yusuke: Hiei, what's the matter?
Hiei: Nothing..*chattering stops* Absolutely nothing..
Botan: *switching glances between the moat and Hiei* Are you..afraid of the water?
Kuwabara: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! HIEI'S AFRAID OF WATER!!! WHAT A JOKE!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA--huh?
Hiei: *behind him; sword unsheathed and in front of Kuwabara's neck* If you treasure your life..I suggest you stop..
Kuwabara: O-okay..
Kurama: Hiei, we need to get on the other side of the moat!
Hiei: Water..is..EVIL!!!
Yusuke: C'mon, Hiei..*splashes him*
Hiei: GAH!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! *backs away; eye twitching* ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?!?
Yusuke: I'm not surprised you're afraid of WATER.. after all, you are a FIRE demon..
Hiei: I AM NOT AFRAID!!!
Botan: Then why won't you go near it?
Hiei: I..icantswim..
Kuwabara: What was that? You were mumbling..
Hiei: I SAID I CAN'T SWIM!!!
Kurama: You can't? Not even doggy paddle?
Hiei: *eyes down*
Botan: Wow..shocking..
Kurama: Hmm..*turns to the moat; touches the water to feel for vibrations (to make sure nothing's there); dives in*
Hiei: KURAMA!!! ARE YOU NUTS?!?
Kurama: Come on! Swimming's easy!
Thick underwater vine: *grabs Kurama's ankle and pulls him under*
Hiei: Kurama!
Kurama: *being pulled to the bottom*
Kuwabara: Can't he control the plant?
Botan: Not if he's drowning!
Yusuke: I'm going down! *jumps in*
Kuwabara: Urameshi! No!
Yusuke: *fires his Spirit Gun at the snare*
Vines: *shoot out of the water; one holding Kurama; one holding Yusuke*
Hiei: SEE?!? I TOLD YOU WATER WAS EVIL!!!
Botan: There's no time for that! We have to get them out of there!
Kuwabara: AAAAAAAAAAH!!! *chops off the vine holding Yusuke*
Kurama: That ..won't work! Ngh.. They just ..grow back!
Vine: *another shoots out and grabs Kuwabara*
Yusuke: Kuwabara! You idiot!
Vine: *two more shoot out and aim for Botan and Hiei*
Botan: AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! *gets picked up by vine*
Hiei: *runs from it in chibi style (you know, short version with arms and legs scattering everywhere)* AAAAH!!! IT'S WET!!!
Vine: *chases him*
Hiei: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! EVIL PLANT!!! EVIL PLANT!!!
Kurama: Hiei! I have an idea to get rid of them! You need to cut the others and me down with your sword!
Hiei: Okay, Kurama..*cuts them down*
Kurama: Now..RUN!!!
Every1: *run to the trees with the vines chasing them; loop over and around the trees of the dark forest*
Vines: *In knots and can't get out*
Botan: Cool! I didn't know I could do a clove hitch!
Yusuke: We kicked their sorry, green asses!
Kuwabara: *tied in the middle of his knot* Uh..is it supposed to turn out like this?
Yusuke: idiot..
Botan and Kurama: *help Kuwabara out*
Hiei: Why couldn't we have just left him there?
Kuwabara: Can it, Hiei! *falls out of the knot and flat on his face*
Kurama: We can walk across the vines to get to the other side of the moat * walks over*
Every1 else: *follows*
~ With Illusen and Sumomo ~
Illusen: Rrrrr..stupid brats (sounds like Jedite from Sailor Moon, doesn't she?).your lover is a troublesome one, he is..
Sumomo: And he'll be here any minute! He'll be here to rescue me and to kill you!
Illusen: I'm growing impatient..I was waiting to do this in front of Kurama, but time is running out *walks over; bears her fangs and bites into Sumomo's neck*
Sumomo: Ngh..*sqints; closes eyes* rrrr..
Illusen: *releases grip and backs away* I just released Dragon Poison into you..you should have only about 15 minutes to live.. *creates an hourglass out of thin air and tips it over so the sand runs* As soon as the sand runs out..so do you..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kurama's time is growing short..Can Sumomo set her feelings aside and cooperate with Hiei? Can Hiei ever be nice enough to help save Sumomo? Can Kurama make it to Sumomo in time before she dies again? Find out next time in:
ILLUSION!
Stay tuned!
