First off, I would like to say a big "THANK YOU!" to all those who waited
for the updates. You may be few, but your cries for this to be updated were
heard. ^_^ I am sorry that I did not think anyone would like this story,
but it got backseat to both my studies and some other projects. Well,
here's Chapter 6. Thank you for reading and your support! Woohoo! I have
fans! *^_^* *blush*
Naoko and Kuwabara walked into the alleyway. As they got closer, they could smell the stench of the Janioes. However, they could not see them, even when they were standing in the area where they were the strongest. Both of them had their weapons at the ready. They looked at each other. "Something isn't right," Kuwabara said. "You know, I think you're right," Naoko replied sarcastically, looking about her at the brick walls. ¹ "There's been a dimensional breach," he said suddenly. "Wait a minute! What do you mean a dimensional breach?" Naoko turned to face him. "The smell of it. I do have a Dimensional Sword, you know," he replied, sounding exasperated. ² "We're getting out of here!" Naoko said, grabbing his arm and pulling him out of the alleyway. All the while she was muttering under her breath. "He couldn't have. He doesn't have the power. Rumen! You bastard!" Naoko stopped short when someone shimmered into being in front of her. "One down, three to go. How will you raise the Crystal Rose, my Princess, without any Element Mistress?" the dark form said. Both Naoko and Kuwabara could not see his face, only a dark figure. "I'll raise it, even if I have to go to the Underworld to do it!" Naoko declared. "Brave words, my liege. Tell my Queen that I look forward to meeting her again. I do hope that she would not be too put off by the death of a close associate," Rumen replied silkily. Naoko let go of Kuwabara and lunged towards him, screaming a blood-curdling scream. The figure merely laughed and disappeared. Behind them, the two Janioes rose, regenerated enough to return home. They took one look at the distraught girl and teleported out of there. Immediately. "Well, that was a waste of time," Kuwabara said, his sword at the ready. "Not quite. Come on. I want to talk to Su," Naoko said, moving towards the car. "You have a driver's license?" Naoko asked him. "Yeah," he replied, upon which he was given the keys to the car. Naoko sat in the passenger, saying that she wanted to think.
¹ Yes, I don't like Kuwabaka very much. ² He's not as stupid as his looks. He did finish high school, remember?
