~Chapter 6~
~It's a bird! It's a plane!~
A/N: Ok you have permission to tar and feather me. I've been horrible, leaving that cliffie and then being too busy to write and post another chapter. Thanks to everyone for the reviews and I'm sorry to leave ya'll hanging for so long!!
Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing. A giant tornado had formed and was speeding across the meadow.
"Oh shit! It's headed right for us!" Yusuke grabbed Keiko's hand and everyone sped away from the direction of the oncoming twister. Well, everyone except Corana. She whooped in joy and went flying directly towards the cyclone.
"She seems awfully excited." Kuwabara commented intelligently.
"Well she is part wind demon. That kind of thing could be like Disney World for her!" Kurama shouted as he too sped away from the approaching tornado.
Their efforts were all in vain, however, as each of them were soon deposited in trees around the meadow. Well, Kuwabara was deposited in a mud puddle, but same difference neh?
There was a loud thud and "Oof!" and a squeal of delight from Corana. "JIN!!!!!"
The others extricated themselves from their trees and puddles to see Corana pinning a slightly disgruntled, but nonetheless pleased, Wind Master to the ground.
"What are you doing here?" They asked each other in unison.
"Looking for you!" They replied simultaneously.
"How'd you find me?" Corana asked.
"That short fellow. Hiei. Came and found me and told me ye were lookin' for me and that'd ye'd be here today." Jin explained.
"Hiei?" Corana was, well, shocked, but Jin nodded emphatically. Corana grinned at the tiny fire demon and flew up to where he'd resumed a perch on a branch.
"Thanks so much Hiei!" Corana moved to hug him, but Hiei seeing it coming dodged quickly.
"Oh no! No hugs! I would have never done it if I knew you'd try to hug me." Hiei shuddered.
Corana giggled and stuck her tongue out at him. "Whatever darlin." And she flew back down to Jin who had now picked himself up from where his sibling had tackled him. It was no wonder Corana had figured out they were related. They had the same big blue eyes, the same wiggling ears, and the same jaunty fang sticking out over their bottom lip. Corana was just about two feet shorter than her half brother.
"So what have you been up to?" They asked each other simultaneously.
What followed was some of the fastest, most heavily accented English any of them had ever heard as the two caught up in a span of all of 10 minutes. When they had apparently finished, they each took a deep breath and lay back on the grass, smiling happily up at the sky.
"I've missed you Jin." Corana said softly.
"I can't always be around Cor." Jin replied seriously.
"I know but it was fifty years Jin. Fifty years." She looked genuinely hurt. "You raised me and you're all I have in the world."
"That's not true. You have Urimeshi and them now." Jin shrugged. "You've got a good thing going up here. Stay."
"We had a good thing going back there too." Corana shrugged.
"One day we're gonna have to move on with our lives. We can't be the dynamic duo forever." Jin looked seriously at his sister.
"Why not?" Corana pressed.
"Well eventually, you'll go off and have a family and I'll go off and have a family and we'll only be seein each other seldom. The clan needs me now too and they'd never let you in." Jin wouldn't look at her in the eye.
Corana was tempted to push him into telling her why they couldn't have a family together. Instead she just got angry. "Fuck the clan!!! Fuck them all! They have each other! Fuck Fuck Fuck!"
"Quite a mouth on her." Kurama commented drily. Hiei nodded.
"I don't have anyone Jin! I need you!" Corana was crying now and Jin quite frankly didn't know how to react. "Nothing you can say about your precious clan will make me sympathize with you. They would have left me for dead same as my mother's so FUCK THEM ALL!!!!" she had gotten up now and was standing with her back to her brother. "Maybe you should have just left me too." She added in a silent voice.
Jin jumped up and forced his sister to look at him. "Don't you EVER say anything like that again! I don't know what you've been through half your life, but the best thing I ever did was pull you out of that water."
"Hn." Corana laughed humorlessly. "Right. I've done nothing but get in your way it seems." Her blue eyes had turned cold and she pushed off the ground angrily, wrenching her arm away from her brother, only to find herself face to face with Hiei.
"It's pointless to walk out on this argument." He commented calmly.
"Stay out of my way Hiei!" Corana sent a blast of wind into the fire demon that sent him flying out of her way, narrowly missing a tree. Before anyone else could react, she had flown out of sight.
A/N: Damn, I didn't mean to make this thing that dark. Yeah so she was being a bit melodramatic. I felt a need for some conflict and I think this satisfied it for a time. Looks like they've both dug themselves a hole, or I dug them both a hole however you choose to look at it. Anyways, really sorry about the delay in the update. I've just been mad busy. Hope you like it!
