Alright people, you know the deal, review pretty please.
To clear things up about good old Sky Fire: the name is from the books but Sky Fire acts nothing like the Skyfire. Skyfire is a respectable person who is only seen a few times, Sky Fire is a raveing lunatic that I cant get to leave.
Chapter Five,
Fight of Destiny
Yusuke lead everyone down to an intersection that Sky Fire had said that he would meet them at. They saw the outlines of six demon approach. All of them were tall except for the one in front. They walked up as though the owned the place and were just going for a walk around and not getting ready to fight. Yusuke started getting ready, so did Kuwabara. Both of them sensed a trap. Hiei insisted that Sky Fire was a complete moron and couldn't come up with a trap to save his life. He also insisted that Sky Fire did rule the jail. Just how someone could inspire so much fear in the hearts of so many criminals frightened Kuwabara but he wouldn't show it.
The six of them waltzed right up to them and stood just a few feet from them. What Yusuke saw made him almost want to run for the hills and not look back. All of the demons looked strong. Strong enough to eat him and Kuwabara for breakfast. Hiei didn't seem very impressed, more bored than anything else. Kurama was unreadable. He was not sure just how strong they were.
"So, this is all that you have managed to dredge up from the sewers?" Hiei asked as though he were asking Sky Fire how he had been.
"If I remember correctly, Hiei, you were once among the idiots that follow me around. Different group though, totally new. The old ones died. They always do. That and they seem to be rather weak. Oh well."
Yusuke found that there was something slightly familiar in that tone of voice. The care free attitude that he had. "Alright" he stared. "Let's just get going to jail."
"Whoa! Hold an a moment here!" Sky Fire said "Who said anything about going to jail. I don't walk into that thing, I get dragged in and that is final. You know what that means."
They stepped into the moonlight for the first time. The five in back were rather bland looking criminals. One was big and bald. Those were the two most noticeable things about him. The one next to him was normal sized and extremely hairy. The next one over was a pale green color with darker green tattoos decorating his body. The fourth reminded Yusuke of someone who had just not paid attention in class. He was an ogre with a glazed over look in his eyes. He was staring off into the distance with as much interest as a student in school or a man at a meeting. The last one seemed to be asleep. He was a reddish color with a short pug nose that had a ring in it.
"Well, these are them, the prime cut of the jail. Pitiful, isn't it? These bumbling morons are dumb as a post and twice as dense. I spend most of my time insulting them but they still follow me around. Isn't that just sad? Let me introduce them. Duffis, dumb ass, half wit, dim wit, and stupid. You can call any of them by any of those names, they wont notice the difference."
With that Sky Fire, who had stayed in the shadows the whole time, moved to a bench, still in the darkness. The big lugs started coming at Yusuke's 'team' but they were easily beaten.
"Oh, wow, you managed to kill half wit and dim wit at the same time. Not bad. Anyway, now comes your challenge, how to kill me. You don't know anything about me. You didn't know anything about them either but just how much do you need to know to squash ants? Me, now I'm a different story here. Hiei will tell you that much but he wont tell you any more. You know why, because he is scared to. He has seen what I have done to people before and I don't think that he wants to be on the other end of that treatment."
"If I was scared of you then I wouldn't be here, would I?"
"Alright, I suppose that you have a point, but that wont change the fact that I'm gunna beat your ass so bad that you wont be able to stand, sit, lie or do anything else for the next year! Just warning you" Sky Fire laughed, not an evil laugh but a friendly one as though he had just told a joke.
"I'll take him." Kuwabara volunteered.
"Oh, now your just toying with me" said the now droopy looking Sky Fire. "Cant you give me someone worth fighting. Oh well, I suppose that I will just have to beat him up first."
Kuwabara summoned up his sword and started to charge the demon.
"Ooh, sword, how original. Oops, too slow. You know, you could have picked a weapon that hasn't been around for thousands of years."
Kuwabara came around to slash him.
"Oh, so I see that you go with the style of an English broad sword, hack, slash, stab, and pray that you hit something! Best style if you ask me, not that you can really call it a style."
Kuwabara was getting pissed off but he was the only one. The others were nearly falling over in laugher at his helpless attempt to hit the quick demon.
"So now you have learned that I'm fast, too bad that that's the only thing that you know about me! If you knew something else then you might be able to hit me. Well, maybe not."
"Shut up! You're worse than the shrimp!"
"Why thank you, now why don't you develop some sort of style and then come back and fight me. Until then, see ya!"
Kuwabara suddenly collapsed for no apparent reason. Sky Fire, who had still stayed in the shadows, stepped out for the first time. He was rather short with bright eyes and a smile that seemed to be glued to his face. His hair was dark blue, near black. It hung down to his shoulders. The very ends of it seemed to glow orange. He stepped closer too them. His black velvet cloak had a hood on it that he put up once he was sure that everyone had seen his face. It hid his body from view.
"Don't think that I'm gunna give you any more clues. You have to drag them out of me now!"
"What clue did you give to us anyway?" Yusuke shouted
"I let you see my face!!! That is a clue!!! How stupid are you people?" he let his disappointment show without much attempt so stop it. "Alright, botany boy, your next."
"Who?" Yusuke asked. "Boat boy?"
"Botany boy, stupid! Plants!!! Think, which of you morons uses plants? Only one that I know of."
"Hold it right there!" a voice from the other side of the ally yelled to them. Two dark figures approached, eventually stepping into the light of the street lamp.
"Jin!" Sky Fire yelled in excitement "and Touya" he growled with contempt in his voice.
"Koenma sent us when he found out that Sky Fire had come through the barrier" Jin explained, his accent making it slightly hard to understand him.
"Well that's a relief, I think" Yusuke said, glad to have reinforcements since Kuwabara had collapsed before touching the strange demon.
"But Jin!" Sky Fire interrupted "I cant fight you! I'll gladly kill Touya though. Stupid ice head."
Without warning, though not without reason, Touya leapt on Sky Fire, knocking him to the ground. Sky Fire tried to get him off by Touya's hands crept closer and closer to the new demon's neck. Jin just stood there looking as though he knew something that everyone else didn't. He also looked just a little confused despite his extra knowledge. The two of them fought tooth and claw. Only the occasional yelp was auditable over the thud of them hitting the hard pavement.
"You bit me!" Touya yelled above all of the ruckus. The two jumped back and looked at each other. Touya had a long streak of red running down his arm from where Sky Fire had bit and scraped. Sky Fire spit out some of Touyas blood onto the ground.
"Your blood tastes like shit!" Sky Fire sounded confused, as though he had expected it to taste like sugar or something. "You need to eat more sugar and less sour milk. That's what it taste like, you know. Milk just as sour as you are!"
Sky fire abandoned his cloak revealing a lose fitting purplish blue pair of pants and a lighter version of the color that still managed to look dark and foreboding. It looked the opposite of his attitude. He threw the cloak specifically so that it landed on top of Hiei, making him look slightly like a sculpture waiting to be unveiled, not that that lasted very long. The cloak went up in flame and disintegrated.
"So, Touya, when are you going to learn what everyone else knows? Fi." Sky Fire never had the chance to finish. Touya had leapt on top of him, hands trying for the neck once more. This time Sky Fire was more prepared. He grabbed Touya's wrists and tried to push him away. It wasn't working well. Touya seemed to be in a full rage, doing anything that he could to rip, claw, and possible even kill Sky Fire. No one really knew what to say. Touya hadn't used any of his normal attacks. There was no ice forming around the ground. Even Kurama couldn't figure out why.
Hiei watched in horror as Touya was leaning closer to Sky Fire, both of them kicking since their hands were busy keeping the other one from strangling them. It was clear what Touya planed to do, he planed to bite into Sky Fire's neck so that he would die of blood loss.
In a sudden flash, Touya was on the ground with Hiei's katana at his throat.
"Not so high and mighty now, are you ice boy?" Sky Fire said, not even off the ground and already taunting.
"Sky Fire" Jin said, gaining attention once more. "Why did you bite Touya?"
"Oh, you know" he sounded casual "He tried to kill me!" he shouted, clearly hurt by something other than the pavement and Touya.
Fight will be continued in the next chap.
Alright people, what do you think about good old Sky Fire? Know what's up with him? How does he know Hiei? When will I get to the romance part? Want me to stop asking questions? Want to review (answer, yes)? Good : )
I KNOW THAT JIN AND TOUYA DON'T WORK FOR KOENMA BUT THEY JUST GOT JOBS WITH HIM, KAY? Didn't want anyone to miss that. I might even come up with a reason for them to later.
