If you like Shishi x Suzuki, you should go to this site
'http://www5d.biglobe.ne.jp/~e_going/'. It has a cute doujinshi on it, that
you should read. ^^ It's short, but sweet. Anyway, it's rare getting to see
this couple, even though its my favorite, so it gets my hyped up really
easily. O_o So, anyway, my point was, if you know of any Shishi x Suzuki
sites, or either of those two separately even, please tell me in a review.
Shishi: She already knows about Angel in Disguise, Shishi no Dojo, and all the fanlistings. She's never seen a site solely dedicated to Suzuki. Wonder why :p
::glare:: ANYWAY, I'll be answering reviews now...
Kitsune-Sama: ::pulls out magic hat of doom:: Muahahaha! Wait, you weren't supposed to know about this...! ::demolishes any traces of evidence:: ... T.T I want my hat back... ::coughcough:: Er... anyway, I'll make sure I get in a chapter specifically for Jin x Touya... or I could make a side story, maybe about 3 chapters long? Hm, I dunno.
Mr. Me: I've addicted you!? Yay! ^_^
Title: The Dark Side
Chapter: 6 [A New Realization]

"Alright! I hope everyone is here, now! To find out your teammates, please turn your attention to the board!" It seemed Koto was taking a break, because Juri was announcing things to us now. I looked over at the cork-board that stretched from wall to wall. Papers were attached by tacks to the brownish-tan board. I snatched the paper my name was on, and carefully looking over the paper, considering each person carefully. Apparently, Kurama had been mostly right about the team system.
Jin. I wasn't sure how to feel about him being on my team. He is a great fighter, and would be a great asset. Then, there was always the bad side of things. Jin was much too hyper for me to be able to keep my temper under control. I shook my head. How could Touya stand being around him so often? And he did it -intentionally-.
Suzuki. I was not surprised in the least bit seeing my old friends appear on this list. After all, we had been on the same team before. We had nearly the same ki. Although, I don't have to be grateful to him. I was not necessarily happy with this team so far. Ah well, I might as well make the best out of this. Maybe he could make me a similar sword...?
Shishiwakamaru. Well, of course I knew that I was on the list, or else, I wouldn't be looking at it... Tehazu. I didn't recognize this name. He must be a newbie. Probably didn't know how to even fight. Better not count this one, or else we could be in trouble latter on.
Kurama. I stared at the small, black print and squinted. This couldn't be right... I-it didn't say... but I wanted to... to fight him. You know, I was beginning to seriously think this guy was out to get me! He just couldn't get enough of torturing me, could he? The ONE thing I wanted to do on my stay at Hanging Neck Island, was fight, and beat, Kurama. But that stupid kitsune just couldn't let me have it my way, could he! I glared a hole through Kurama's back. He looked pretty damned confused. Good! I didn't want him to find his name! Then, maybe he'd go home, and I'd never have to look at his pretty face again! Kurama, after searching thoroughly, turned and asked Hiei something. He shook his head. Kurama walked over to me.
"You know, you're supposed to leave that up there so your teamma-"
"I KNOW that!" I spat. He seemed taken aback.
"Wha- did I do something?"
"No... I'm so...sor...ta having a bad day," I stomped off, after trying to unsuccessfully save my self. He had tricked me! I had almost said I was SORRY! I had NEVER in my whole, entire life even uttered that word. My master had basically dumped me on the streets because he said I was being 'snotty'. Ch. I showed him, when I came back three years later. After a little training, I decided to pay him a little visit. Lets just say there wasn't much left of him when I was done.
I replaced our paper on the board, letting our other teammates look at it. Something slightly confused me about the teams, though. Before, there were six members, for a substitute. Well, it didn't matter much, to me. I shrugged it off. I had other problems. Like Kurama. There HAD to be a way I could fight him...
Apparently, our key had been given to the Tehazu guy... hopefully, he didn't lose it. Our team decided to see if he, or even she, had gone into the room yet. The elevator rode to the second floor, and we bustled off. Jin started zooming down the halls. We waited for him, figuring he'd find our room fast enough.
"It's down this hall!" Jin grinned and started to drag me down the accused hallway.
"JIN! LET ME DOWN RIGHT THIS INSTANT!" I screeched up at him. Unfortunately, the ceilings were high, leaving Jin plenty of free roaming space. He was flying just high up enough so that I could not touch the ground. I was trying to pry his fingers off of my waist, without having him drop me. Lots of good that did. I fell down onto the rough carpeting, in front of our room number, 105. Suzuki and Kurama walked up behind us, trying to hold their laughter. I glared at them. Suzuki bit his lip and turned the brass doorknob.
Dark blue, almost black, hair covered a young man's, maybe 13, head. Two thick strands that were longer than the rest of his hair hung in front of his eyes. The back was short and simple. His skin was a little on the dark side. He had an olive green turtleneck on. One of his sleeves was like a tanktop, the other was long and tight. On the sleeveless arm, he wore loose gold bracelets that clinked together when he turned a page in his yellowing book. He looked up, showing us pitch black eyes. They didn't look evil, though... they actually looked curious and lively.
"Oh, hello. Are you the rest of team...," He looked like he was trying to remember the number our team had been given, "105?"
"Yes. Are you Tehazu?" Suzuki asked. I realized that everything seemed quiet. That couldn't be good. I looked around for any sign of the red-headed wind master. I bit my lip. Not the slightest trace.
"Well, who else would I be." He smiled, saying this as a statement, not as a question.
"'Ey, you ever compete?" Jin popped up, alarming the boy. He jumped at the sudden outburst. Tehazu looked back and saw Jin grinning.
"Not in the bujutsukai, no. I saw you all last time, though. You all did well, even if you didn't all win."
"Only Jin never won against the Urameshi team," I pointed out. Even if it had only been that baka Kuwabara, Suzuki and I had beaten him.
"Kurama didn't lose to a 'em!" Jin floated over to Kurama, who was trying to hide a smile at his comment.
"He was ON the Urameshi team!" Suzuki yelled at Jin who shrugged good- naturdly. Tehazu was staring blankly at us. We must seem a bit off to him...
"Don't worry about them. They're always like this," Kurama smiled, noticing the kid's discomfort. 'Them'? HE should have said -us-. I let out an inward grunt. I can't let him get to me, I can't let him get to me. I told myself this over and over, until my head started to spin. I wouldn't let Jin get to me, with his hyper active carefreeness. I wouldn't let Suzuki get to me, with his overbearingness. And most of all, I wouldn't let Kurama get the better me. Even though he was generous, charming, understanding, kind...- whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a second. He was not any of those things! He was just Kurama. Ignorant, Self-centered- argh! I was doing it again! I was getting angry over nothing! Ok, maybe if I just don't think about him. He has no business snooping around in your head, anyway. I tried to push any thoughts involving Kurama to the back of my mind. Since he was standing right beside me, it wasn't exactly easy.
"I'm a bit tired... I'm going to bed now," I rubbed my head and walked into one of the three rooms. Three...? Oh, I forgot. I was so used to having my own room, it would be weird hearing Suzuki's snoring again. He was a loud snorer, so I'd better try to get as much sleep as I could. I closed the door behind me and climbed into one of the beds. I clicked off the lamp that was in the middle of the two beds. Hanging Neck Island was hot year-round, so it was pretty stupid of me to put the covers on. I kicked them off, and rolled over. I could hear everyone laughing outside. They had better not be laughing at me.
I just couldn't sleep. What was wrong with me? Nothing particularly bad had ever happened here. Besides our team's losing, but that was more a blow to my pride than anything mental. Something was making me itch, but I couldn't find out where to scratch. I sighed and dug my head into the pillow. I waited for Suzuki to come in. I could ask him if he felt anything strange. Then a thought hit me. What if Kurama and I were to stay in the same room, all night? I felt my cheeks get a little warmer. Was I... blushing? I shook my head. Must be from lack of sleep. Despite what I had told myself earlier, I was intently staring at the door. I didn't blink until I saw a crack of light filter into the room. I glanced up at the tall figure silhouetted in front of the doorway. Red hair. I snapped my eyes shut and pretended to be asleep. I heard the door shut, almost awkwardly. The stumbling idiot hit into my bed. Stumbling...? I had never seen Kurama so much as trip. I squinted my eyes to meet a pair of sapphire ones. I let out a sigh, and sat up a bit.
"Wakey wake sleepin' beauty!" Jin grinned toothily at me. What? I looked past the redhead over to the flashing red-numbered clock. 9:03. Great. I had to fight today, and I hadn't slept at all. And it was all Kurama's fault. I swear, If I died today, I would haunt him for the rest of his life!
I was almost sleep-walking on my way out. I looked across to see a group of five lower class demons huddled on the other side of the stadium. Koto was at her announcing box, and Juri stood on the platform in front of me. I walked my way over to one of the walls, and leaned against it. Damn my dignity. I needed my beauty sleep.
I decided to slide down onto the ground. As tired as I was, I was determined to watch the matches.
"The third match of today! Team 105, Suz- Beautiful Suzuki, Kurama, also known as the infamous Youko Kurama, Shishiwakamaru, Jin, and a newcomer Tehazu!" Juri yelled into her microphone for all to hear the introductions, "against Team 134, Nami, Ten, Rakuri, Ferio, and Kagera! Please, send a representative of each team for the first round!"
"I'll go," Kurama stepped lightly on the platform. His opponent stiffened a little, obviously not too keen on fighting one of the former winners.
"Kurama and Rakuri have volunteered for the first match!" Koto's voice boomed over the stadium. Juri looked at both of the competitors, and raised her hand.
"Kurama versus Rakuri! Begin!" Her hand swiftly fell down, the universal 'go' sign. Rakuri plunged into a punch. Kurama easily dodged it, stepping aside. These youkai were pathetic. They couldn't even land a punch. After a few more swings, I decided that everything would be ok. I relaxed and tried to doze off. After a few minutes, I heard a crackling noise. Kurama's rosewhip didn't sound like that, did it? I opened one eye, and saw Rakuri holding a ball of lightning in his hand. It was the simplest of attacks, just a ball of youki, but it would still hurt if you got hit by it. I was slightly amused, and half-hoping Kurama would get hit a few times before he beat the lightning youkai. Suzuki and Jin walked over to me and sat down. Actually, Jin floated, but it was all the same to him.
"'Ey, ya think if he practiced more 'e'd be a shinobi?" Jin asked, reffering to the 'Lightning Master'.
"Doubtful," Suzuki said simply.
"I thought you and Touya decided to disband the Shinobi. I mean, there were only two of you left..." I decided to add my two cents.
"We did. I was jus' wonderin'," Jin started to whistle, and since he was next to me, it was getting quite annoying
"Will you shut UP," I growled at Jin. He ignored me, though he was fully aware of what I said.
"JIN!" I screamed into his ears, "QUIET!" Jin finally shrugged, defeated. Or maybe he was just being nice. I didn't know, and I didn't care.
"Isn't someone a little grouchy," Suzuki grinned over at me. I rolled my eyes. Kurama, unfortunately, was still gracefully dodging the lightning balls. These demons were nothing compared to us, or any of my 'friends' for that matter. Maybe I could take the next one...? Sure, why not. Even in this state, I figured I could beat them. I watched onward, waiting for Kurama to howl out in pain. But, as anyone could guess, that didn't happen. I heard the wind part for the whip, as it sliced the other demons skin. Nothing gory though. As always, Kurama was planning on trying to save this youkai. I just didn't understand it. What had he ever done for Kurama? Nothing. They had just met, and he was trying to kill him. So, why would he show any mercy? Did fangirls like this? I hoped not, because I knew I would never be able to pull it off.
"Give up, if you want to live," Kurama's voice had a bit of concern in it. Rakuri slowly got up, but fell again.
"You'll bleed to death if you strain yourself," Rakuri didn't seem to care. Fool. He was going to let him LIVE. Didn't he understand there was no way that he could possibly win?
"It seems Rakuri is not giving up! He is determined to win!" Koto shouted from her stand. I watched on as the youkai stumbled about, trying to conjure up one of his lightning balls. If he couldn't even do that, he had no hope. He was nothing more than a burden now. Kurama should have just killed him. But he didn't. He just watched as the hopeless youkai suffered from blood-loss. He collapsed, and the ten count began.
"1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10!" Juri reached for Kurama's arm and held it up.
"The victor is Kurama!" An uproar of complaints and cheers made me wince. Did they have to be so loud? Kurama walked over to us.
"Ok, who's going next?" His eyes shifted from Suzuki's, to me, to Jin's, to Tehazu.
"I will..." I slowly got up. Kurama grabbed my shoulder and gently pushed me down. I glared up at him.
"What was that for?!"
"You didn't get much sleep. Why don't you take a nap?"
"I don't wanna!" Kurama sighed.
"Ok, ok. Why don't you just sit these ones out?"
"...fine..." Kurama smiled, and sat down next to Jin.
"Well, if none of you 'er gonna fight, I'm thinkin' I will!" Jin's feet touched the ground, and he walked up to his opponent, a black-haired burly man, with a scar running down his left eye.
"Jin versus Kagera! BEGIN!" This battle wouldn't take very long. Well, it wouldn't if Jin would just stop messing around. He was flying around the stadium, leaving this Kagera guy time to think! When it was MY turn, I'd get it over and done with right away. I wouldn't take any chances.
"Kurama! Are you okay!?" A teenage girl, with auburn hair hanging down to her shoulders jumped down to the ground. Her midnight blue tanktop was covered by a corduroy jacket. She wore a pair of orange cargo pants.
"Uh... I'm not sure you're aloud to be down here-" I was cut of by that baka kitsune.
"I'm fine. May I ask your name?" He wasn't really looking at the girl, but he did acknowledge her presence.
"Chisara! I came here from the Ningenkai to watch you in the tournament!" Her green eyes beamed.
"How do you know about youkai?" Kurama looked up at the girl.
"You know, there are plenty of people that know about it! Things get around!" Kurama looked at her doubtfully, but decided not to pry into her business.
"Can I have your autograph!" I stared at her. WHO'S autograph was she asking for?! Kurama smiled and reached out for the paper and pen Chisara was holding out. She seemed to be resisting the urge to glomp Kurama.
"He can't! He's umm-" I looked around frantically for an answer. Kurama looked at me strangely. I know I was making a show.
"Why not...?" Suzuki was staring at me too.
"He..." My voice trailed off.
"I injured my arm," Kurama gave a sorry smile to Chisara. Her shoulders slumped a bit. Apparently she didn't remember that Kurama said he didn't get hurt.
"Oh, ok...-" Her voice was cut off by Jin flying past. Her notepad with all of the autographs flew away in the gust Jin had created.
"HEY! Come back!" Chisara ran away after her booklet. A few pages fell out, and scattered. Chisara ran away to collect her precious autographs. I glanced over at Kurama. Why didn't he just sign it. It's not like he cared how he felt... I didn't think so at least. I realized I had a slight smile crawling on my lips, when I was looking at Kurama. I quickly wiped it off.
~~~
Ok, I'm sorry that this took so long. ::bows off apology:: I had to get a going away party for my friend ready. She's moving a few states away. T_T But at least I'll be able to visit in the summer. On to other notes... I can add my fangirl anytime I want, so that doesn't matter. And my friend(Kouga__Luver) agreed to be in later chapters, but she'll have a bigger part. So, that's why she's not here.
Shishi: ... Did you realize how long this is?
That's cuz I needed to get a fangirl in. O_o lol
The Town Idiot,
Ki
Shishi: She already knows about Angel in Disguise, Shishi no Dojo, and all the fanlistings. She's never seen a site solely dedicated to Suzuki. Wonder why :p
::glare:: ANYWAY, I'll be answering reviews now...
Kitsune-Sama: ::pulls out magic hat of doom:: Muahahaha! Wait, you weren't supposed to know about this...! ::demolishes any traces of evidence:: ... T.T I want my hat back... ::coughcough:: Er... anyway, I'll make sure I get in a chapter specifically for Jin x Touya... or I could make a side story, maybe about 3 chapters long? Hm, I dunno.

"1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10!" Juri reached for Kurama's arm and held it up.
"The victor is Kurama!" An uproar of complaints and cheers made me wince. Did they have to be so loud? Kurama walked over to us.
"Ok, who's going next?" His eyes shifted from Suzuki's, to me, to Jin's, to Tehazu.
"I will..." I slowly got up. Kurama grabbed my shoulder and gently pushed me down. I glared up at him.
"What was that for?!"
"You didn't get much sleep. Why don't you take a nap?"
"I don't wanna!" Kurama sighed.
"Ok, ok. Why don't you just sit these ones out?"
"...fine..." Kurama smiled, and sat down next to Jin.
"Well, if none of you 'er gonna fight, I'm thinkin' I will!" Jin's feet touched the ground, and he walked up to his opponent, a black-haired burly man, with a scar running down his left eye.
"Jin versus Kagera! BEGIN!" This battle wouldn't take very long. Well, it wouldn't if Jin would just stop messing around. He was flying around the stadium, leaving this Kagera guy time to think! When it was MY turn, I'd get it over and done with right away. I wouldn't take any chances.
"Kurama! Are you okay!?" A teenage girl, with auburn hair hanging down to her shoulders jumped down to the ground. Her midnight blue tanktop was covered by a corduroy jacket. She wore a pair of orange cargo pants.
"Uh... I'm not sure you're aloud to be down here-" I was cut of by that baka kitsune.
"I'm fine. May I ask your name?" He wasn't really looking at the girl, but he did acknowledge her presence.
"Chisara! I came here from the Ningenkai to watch you in the tournament!" Her green eyes beamed.
"How do you know about youkai?" Kurama looked up at the girl.
"You know, there are plenty of people that know about it! Things get around!" Kurama looked at her doubtfully, but decided not to pry into her business.
"Can I have your autograph!" I stared at her. WHO'S autograph was she asking for?! Kurama smiled and reached out for the paper and pen Chisara was holding out. She seemed to be resisting the urge to glomp Kurama.
"He can't! He's umm-" I looked around frantically for an answer. Kurama looked at me strangely. I know I was making a show.
"Why not...?" Suzuki was staring at me too.
"He..." My voice trailed off.
"I injured my arm," Kurama gave a sorry smile to Chisara. Her shoulders slumped a bit. Apparently she didn't remember that Kurama said he didn't get hurt.
"Oh, ok...-" Her voice was cut off by Jin flying past. Her notepad with all of the autographs flew away in the gust Jin had created.
"HEY! Come back!" Chisara ran away after her booklet. A few pages fell out, and scattered. Chisara ran away to collect her precious autographs. I glanced over at Kurama. Why didn't he just sign it. It's not like he cared how he felt... I didn't think so at least. I realized I had a slight smile crawling on my lips, when I was looking at Kurama. I quickly wiped it off.

Ok, I'm sorry that this took so long. ::bows off apology:: I had to get a going away party for my friend ready. She's moving a few states away. T_T But at least I'll be able to visit in the summer. On to other notes... I can add my fangirl anytime I want, so that doesn't matter. And my friend(Kouga__Luver) agreed to be in later chapters, but she'll have a bigger part. So, that's why she's not here.
Shishi: ... Did you realize how long this is?
That's cuz I needed to get a fangirl in. O_o lol
