~Chapter 2~
Hiei narrowed his eyes as he pulled his sword out.
"Who are you and what do you want?" he asked in his normal tone.
"I am known as…"
"Oh, just tell them who you are so we can find out if they have her or not," said an annoyed voice.
"Oh, fine. Just ruin all my fun."
"WE HAVE TO FIND HER!" yelled the annoyed voice.
"Fine…" mumbled the other shadow.
The two figures slowly stepped out of the shadows, pulling off the hoods of their cloaks and reviling themselves
"Who are you two?" Botan asked. "I didn't know normal humans lived here, I need to report this to Lord Koenma at once!"
"No. We do not live here. This is just merely a stop to finding our companion."
"We believe that you might know where she is."
"Who are you?" Hiei asked again, a bit mad this time.
"I am DragonCloud, but, you may call me Cloud," one of them spoke up.
"And I am Nova and we are here looking for Arisa."
"Well sorry to disappoint you, but we don't have your little friend," Hiei smirked looking at DragonCloud.
A sweatdrop appeared on the side of her head as she glared at Hiei.
"Was that intended to make fun of me?" DragonCloud asked coldly.
"Heh."
"Awwww… you two would make a cute couple," Nova commented.
"Nobody asked for your two scents Nova!"
Nova turned and looked away from DragonCloud whistling. "I didn't do anything, I dunno what you're talking about."
"Anyways, we think you took her, and you just don't want to tell us. Now, give her back."
Hiei lowered his sword to his side, smirking still. "Like I said, we don't have her."
"Hmmm, should we teach them a lesson Nova?"
Nova smiled. "Sure, I don't see the harm in having some fun Cloud."
Cloud placed her hand in the air as her sword came off her back and twirled around. It then floated straight up in the air as she placed her palm on the hilt. She slowly placed her fingers on the hilt making her hand close around the hilt of the sword. She pulled it out of the air and twirled it around in the air and then held it out in front of herself.
"Heh, you seem to be pretty good with a sword."
She smirked a bit, "You bet I am."
"Then lets get at this, shall we?" he asked as he placed his sword out in front of himself, sliding into his fighting status.
Nova and Yusuke had already started their fight. They were going fist to fist, for Nova decided to be fair and not use her staff. It hung around her neck as a small pendant.
"You're pretty good…for a girl that is," Yusuke shot at her.
"Gee, thanks. You're not bad…for a guy that is," Nova threw back.
"Heh, what a compliment."
"Not really, what I meant was that, I've fought guys tougher then you," Nova smirked.
Yusuke threw a punch at her face. She simply dodged to the side and grabbed his fist. She then put his arm over her shoulder laughing a bit.
"Shit!" Yusuke tried to pull away, but, before he could Nova flipped him over her shoulder and on to his back, she quickly moved herself from where she was and sat on his chest, pinning him down.
"Heh, I do have a girlfriend, ya know."
"Boy, are you wishing big time."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Back to Cloud and Hiei~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cloud quickly jumped up into the air and placed her sword in front of herself. As she landed, the two sword clashed together.
Hiei swung his sword at her head, she quickly ducked under it and brought her foot out towards Hiei's feet, knocking his feet out from under them once they collided.
His sword slipping from his hand as his back collided with the ground.It spun through the air and Cloud jumped off the ground, catching the sword with her left hand, seeing as her right hand held her own sword. She then landed on the ground and quickly moved to Hiei, sitting on his chest with the sword at his neck, the blades crossed over one another, as a smirk on Cloud's face.
"Heh, nice try, but, not good enough."
"That's what you think."
Hiei grabbed the hilt of the sword and flipped Cloud onto her back, now holding the swords at her neck, making sure she couldn't get free.
"You tried hard, but you weren't good enough."
He slowly started to push the swords at her neck.
"CLOUD!" Nova yelled.
Yusuke saw his chance and flipped Nova on to her back and pinned her down like she had him.
"Heh, you should've made sure my hands were pinned down. That was your mistake Cloud; otherwise you could've killed me. See what happens when you make little mistakes like that?" he smirked some more as he continued to push the blades at her neck.
