I just got back from school. Oh man, it's scary what a little snow will do. I was just out for maybe three days (the first day was already a holiday). They made us go to school two hours late on a Friday! That is a total waste of time! I woke up at the same time though, because I didn't do my homework Y_Y. I know, I'm supposed to be a good girl, but hey, I was sick for crying out loud.
Horo: Lame excuse.
Akina: You know, I'm tired of your smart-ass little comments. It's time to be punished, boondocks style.
Horo: Boondocks? What the hell is that?
Akina: Don't you read the paper?
Horo: No
Akina: Listen and listen well. You get on my nerves and you'll be getting in a world of hurt, because I'm from a town called "Whoopin' Horo's Narrow Behind," and I'm getting homesick.
Aya83, you are the best! Two reviews. From you! No one else reads my stories, not even my friends. Sniff... I feel so... so betrayed.
Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y
Yoh sat panted, his hand over his mouth, and his eyes wide. Oh, man, it felt like someone was eating at his stomach! He groaned.
"Demon's bane," Horo stated simply. "If it hasn't killed you now, it's not serious. Must be a small dosage."
"But, gods, it hurts!"
Horo smiled. "Well, that's what you get for drinking everything that comes in sight of you. I thought by now you would have learned to test your drinks first."
"Like I would take around some little demon kid and have him or her taste my drinks before I drank them!"
"Hey, it's your choice."
Yoh was getting ready to respond when someone screamed. "It's a demon exterminator!"
Yoh went pale. "Anna..."
"No way! What could she have done that would reveal herself?" Horo Horo help Yoh to his feet. "She's such a-" He trailed off as Yoh fell to his knees.
"Oh, man, Horo, just get her and get out of here. I'll leave when I feel better, okay?"
"Are you sure you're going to be alright, man?"
"Yeah. Like you said, a little demon bane won't kill me. I'll just sit this one out, ok?"
Horo nodded reluctantly. "If you say so..." He walked through the crowd of apprehensive demons, leaving Yoh by himself. It wasn't long before another demon walked up to him.
"Well, well, if it isn't Yoh Asakura."
Yoh looked up, glowering. "Ren Tao."
"I'm glad you remember me. I came here on important business."
"And I bet we're all dying to know what that important business is (insert sarcasm here)."
Ren smirked. "Still as cheeky as ever. It's a wonder that you haven't actually tried to rip my throat to shreds already. Is there anything wrong, Yoh?"
A low growl started in Yoh's throat. "It was you, wasn't it?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"I think you do."
"I don't want to argue with you, Yoh. I came with a proposition to make."
"The answers no, I will never do whatever you want me to do!"
"Are you really in a position to be saying that?"
Yoh growled again. Ren always knew the right buttons to press when it came to making agreements between demons. "Just know that even weakened, I still have the strength to kill you."
"Of course, Master Yoh." Ren bowed mockingly, receiving a snarl. "Would you do me the honor of letting me sit?"
"You can stand."
"Of course." Ren smiled. "Now, about that business deal. I am sure you're aware of the happenings in Nerima."
"How those demons are making a mess of everything?"
"A rebellion, so to speak, has turned from a mere idea to a bona fide action. Demons no longer want to hide in the shadows, Yoh Asakura. I know you feel it too, probably stronger than a lot of us."
"The Blood Lust..." Yoh muttered. Ren nodded.
"I understand you took part in the Blood Lust long ago, didn't you?"
"That is none of your business."
"Continuing on, there are many good fighters on the team at the moment, but think of what it would be like if we had you, Yoh Asakura. The only name exterminators truly feared world wide. Imagine the terror that would fall on them when they find their worst nightmare has risen again from the ashes."
"I have no need to bestow fear on anyone anymore, Ren Tao."
Ren nodded. "A respectable, noble answer. Nauseating, but noble." Yoh growled, yet Ren ignored him. "Think, though, Yoh. There must be something you want in this world that you don't currently have. Maybe," he smirked. "Maybe that exterminator girl, hm?"
Yoh looked up sharply. "Leave Anna out of this!"
"So Anna is her name? She looks like your old mate, but it doesn't seem she has to much interest in you, Yoh. Was she acting cold, or was it just me?"
"Anna doesn't express many emotions."
"Ah, but I bet you urn to see her smile, truly smile, just for you, and you alone."
When Yoh didn't respond, Ren smiled, resuming his airs. "I'll leave you with a week to think about my words, Master Yoh. I wish you a pleasant evening."
He faded out, leaving a sorrowful and confused Yoh sitting there. Groaning in frustration, he pushed himself up, wincing slightly at the pain in his stomach. It was less intense, but it was still there. "I really need to give up drinking," he mumbled to himself as he made his way to the door. No one paid any heed to him; it merely looked like he had gotten beaten up on the third floor and was running away from shame.
He strolled down the avenue, grumbling to himself, when a dark figure jumped in front of him.
"Give me all your money!"
Yoh snarled at the human. "You've chosen a really bad day to try to mug me, human." He let his fangs and claws appear, and the mugger stepped backwards in fear. Yoh smirked. "I wasn't going to feed for a while, but, you know, sometimes it just gets so tempting."
"Please, spare me!"
"To late for mercy, human. Your fate is decided."
The human found himself backed up against a wall, with Yoh slowly advancing. "Mercy, please!"
"Say goodbye."
Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y
"Yoh!"
Anna ran on down random streets, calling for the demon. She was really worried about him. He hadn't come back from the bash, as far as she knew. Anna grimaced at the thought that he could still be in pain from that poison he had... what had Horo called it? Demon bane? Even the strongest of demons couldn't fight demons bane. It was the ultimate weakness of all demons. She'd have to remember to get some whenever she didn't want to fight someone. "Yoh! Where are you?"
The sound of a scream alerted her. It was a human male that had made that scream... Turning pale with fear and apprehension, she turned down a different street. She recognized it as the one the bash was held on. It was easy to see a pleasantly (sarcasm) beheaded man lying on the sidewalk, with various other pretty (more sarcasm) wounds on his body. The smell of blood was thick in the air, causing Anna's stomach to churn. She turned her eyes to the demon that had committed the murder. He, or she, was partially hidden in the shadows, and seemed to be staring right at her. Anna immediately armed herself with her beads (A/N: you know, the necklace thingie? I know how it works, so I'm gonna use it) and a bracelet. "No sudden moves, or I shall be forced to attack."
The demon sighed, and his arm went up to his head to do something. His energy is pretty strong, Anna thought. It would take more than a single bracelet to defeat him. She took off another one, prayed it would be enough, and flung them at the demon. There was a sound of surprise, and a metallic "clang!"
"Gotcha!" Anna said with confidence. "Now, tell me who you are, and why you killed this innocent man. I know for a fact that these aren't your hunting grounds, they're Yoh's."
She gasped as her two bracelets were thrown to her feet. "Then I guess you know all the answers, huh?"
Anna looked up. "Yoh?"
"Yeah, yeah, it's me. And unlike other stupid demons, I won't go willingly just because you know who I am." There was a hardness in his voice that Anna had never heard before. And a sadness...
"Why'd you do it, Yoh? You told me that you don't like to eat humans anymore."
"It's kinda like trying to stop cigarettes, you know what I mean? You get a craving, and then, whoosh, your self-control is gone. Besides, I was really pissed off, and this guy thought he could mug me."
Anna was frozen. Her Yoh had committed murder, and was about to devour his victim... it was her duty to stop that from happening, but this was Yoh. She couldn't fight Yoh. He was much more powerful that she was, not to mention she l-l-loved him.
That's were it had gone wrong. She was in love with a demon. She fell to her knees, feeling mentally unstable. "Anna, are you alright?" Yoh sounded concern, but, thankfully, he didn't move from his spot.
"Yoh, how could you?" It started as a whisper- "How could you!" -then turned into a full fledged yell. Yoh merely stood there, bearing the weight of Anna's distress.
The girl got up, and ran away, leaving Yoh again by himself. Oh, and the dead corpse. Can't forget him.
Yoh hauled the body to the door of the house that had the bash. He set the body as upright as it could get. His fingers were covered in blood, yet he refused to lick it away. Instead he wrote some words on the door, then wiped the rest off on the guy's shirt. He then moved away, and headed to his house, not even trying to disguise the kill. Let someone else take care of it.
Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y
A demon opened the door to leave the bash, laughing at something that happened inside. The laughter turned to a shout of horror as the dead body fell against him. He stumbled backwards, and a hush went over the crowd. Ren Tao stepped up to read the words that were written on the door.
"'Here is your answer, Ren.'" He smirked. "Good choice, Yoh. Very good choice."
Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y_Y
Brrrr. You know I scared myself writing this? I made Yoh all to evil! He's not happy-go-lucky and innocent like he should be! He's like... non-happy- don't go- unlucky. Yeah. Something like that. It's kind like when you watch Luke battle with the Dark Side, you're like, "Luke, NOOO!! YOU CAN'T BE LIKE YOUR FATHER!" But since we have no idea in this story who Yoh's father is, we can't say that, can we? Horo: I like it. I'm the cool good guy in this story. And i've got a pretty big part. Akina: * sniffs from crying to much * you would. don't you care what happens to Anna and Yoh? Horo: Of course I care! It's just... I like the spotlight! How about you make a scene with me as the main person? Akina: * reluctant * Normally, I'd say no chance in hell, but you're so cute, so I'll see what I can do. Horo: Yahoo!
Please review... if you can stand to talk to someone like me...
