Why

SilverAssassin: Yes..We will find out why Malificent continues to attack our heroes. And maybe some other stuff.

Koneko: Silver you better be working on the fanfic *watches a movie*

SilverAssassin: Yeah, well this is short..And note the double feature. So sorry..I just forgot? ^^

/Dream-ish Vision-ish/

Malificent growled as her face scrunched up, making her features more scary than they already were.

"Nis is what?" She said dangerously calm staring at the dark creature before her.

The antennae twitched some and she screeched in frustration. Malificent threw her arms into the air, the long sleeves making it look like she was a bird. She glided down the steps of her huge castle on Viel. The biggest Island.

"Those little wenches.." She looked into her magic mirror. (Silver:Hence..she stole it from Snow White) Silver's full length picture appeared. Inside of her, right in her stomach--the center of all power believe it or not--was a small red glow. The picture faded, leaving Sakura. Sakura's whole body glowed with a green glow; she smiled in a calm, collect way. Her pictured swirled into Koneko's. A scowl on her face as something near her heart gave off a powerful aura.

"I will have what I want..They won't get back. They need to stay put..Or be killed. I can use what I want either way. Power to Summon..Power of Eternal life. Which..in turn will become evil," she smirked. "And..The most precious of all..," she glared at Koneko's picture, as it began to move as she does, "Get rid of the power to that can destroy all I worked so hard for." She cackled as the picture faded ever so. It echoes through the stone castle and the bats flew from their spots.

Everyone disappeared to their own special spot of the ship to fresh in up big time. Silver sat on deck scrubbing at her nails with a frustrated look. Her chocobo sat by sleeping soundly with a soft "kweh" here and there.

Koneko was ontop of the captains house. She laid on her back with her hands folded behind her head. She was already clean. Youkai sat on the deck besides her, alert like a guard.

Kenshin was...Well..Wherever he went to get away. He sure hurried on his way there.

Sakura was sitting in a chair in the captains house with Hal nearby. The ship on auto-pilot. Of course they were very clean, but exhausted. as Koneko said before hopping on the roof: Feh. stupid humans.

-*-

Silver leaned over the railing of Yuna, used to the rocking feeling, staring out at the dawn approaching. Zi came up behind her, 4 feet away, and stared.

'She is so beautiful..' He thought.

"Is there something you want Zi?" Silver whispered.

He smiled, "Besides you?"

She smiled, although he couldn't see it. "I wonder where we go next.." She mumbled.

He leaned on the rail next to her, facing the opposite way. "Probably drift for another week. Time to relax at least." He sighed in a natural, everyday manner.

"Yes..Except for Sakura, who has to drive one time or another."

"Looks like Koneko and Kenshin are getting mighty cozy.." Silver turned her head and stared up to the Captain's house. Koneko and leaning onto Kenshin as if he was a lifeline, and yet so gentle. She blinked and tilted her head, before looking away. That was their moment, and not hers to look.

"I have never seen anything like that before." Silver said.

"Really? I have once in a while. Not an everyday thing, but you know." He watched as the two yellow chocobos ran across the deck and disappeared around a corner.

"Another thing puzzles me, though I've never come to bring up the matter. Why that bitch of a woman continues her attacks on us. You four are human. Not much of a bother there; nice humans. Koneko is Hanyou..yet not from this world. You four are human. Not much of a bother there; nice humans. No one can even know how to spell Hanyou let care how she is. So that cannot be it. And no one has even stared at me, let alone feel threatened. It does not make sense to me, Zi."

Zi thought this over and silently agreed. He was too busy thinking about other things. Like why he even came with them. It couldn't only be because of the chocobos right? Koneko's begging--No. Could it be Silver? Did she draw him with some mystical force? Heh, he was going crazy.

-*-

Kenshin stared out to the front of the ship. Koneko in his arms, leaning against his chest. Wondering how the spark of love held on, even though it was truly spontaneous to begin with. The spark slowly evolved into a flame, but he still felt empty. Something wasn't right. He glanced around briefly to see Silver and Zi to the left, Chocobos asleep on the right. *Sigh*

"What is next; after we killed Nis I wonder." Kenshin mumbled, more to himself than Koneko. "She'll probably return..For killing her 'pet'"

Koneko just closed her eyes and smiled. She didn't care really. It was easy anyways. Send the baba back with another Nis, she'll take it all down herself if being with Kenshin is what comes after.

She heard the a small thud, and leaned to see Youkai was asleep. Soon..she found herself in the same position.

/I glanced around in the dark place I was in. I could see nothing, even with feline eyes. My senses felt completely useless, like I was in my human form again. I twitched my ears rapidly but nothing, besides my breathing. Suddenly, an echo! Sounded like a cane being tapped on wood. Only it was different of course. I got on guard as quickly as I could, senses as alert as ever. No one was going to mess with me: Koneko!

Glowing orbs suddenly appeared, silencing the echo. They were all around me..These orbs look rather familiar. The air just changed..Something odd, I'm sensing. Before I could continue my rare thinking moment, the orbs raised to above my height. Not too much higher, but enough to look forward and see my ears.

I swiftly took out my katana and spun my arm. I felt it hit something and then another then partially another. So they were beings. Suddenly more small orbs came, and they grew taller. I smirked, although no one could see it, and slashed. I leaped, and glided through the air, slicing and chopping. I felt even more strong as the orbs stopped staring at me. Suddenly I felt something sharp cut into my skin. I cried out merely in surprise. Now they defend themselves.

I crouched a bit and noticed...Two more orbs appeared. I tilted my head and stabbed behind me with a hit. I turned and saw two more orbs appear. Great..Not only were they fighting back..But everyone I kill two more come. Grreat..Suddenly they parted and I saw wicked eyes staring at me. They glowed green before something grabbed my haori and wrenched me forward. I stabbed my sword forward with me, and felt it go through, but why wasn't this thing dead?! The eyes narrowed some and suddenly I felt a pain in my chest. I felt the pulse right on my breast as an eerie red glow came from beneath me. My eyes widened in sheer panic. What was this?! Before I knew it I felt weak and paralyzed as the glow slowly floated away, and I was left on the floor../

SilverAssassin:End ahahaha..Cliffy..sorta...

Koneko: Get to the next chapter! I want gore!

SilverAssassin: -.- Yes ma'am

Koneko: O.O......

Kenshin: Will you stop making that face? -_-

Crit: Naked huh? Jesus...Silver won't be awake for a while then.

Silver: X.X;;

Koneko: *drool hits the floor* O.O

Hal: NO GET HIM AWAY!

Crit: ::glances over to Hal who is strapped to a padded wall with a straight jacket on:: Uh huh...
