You know the drill already, Yu Yu Hakusho is not mine.
Hey, I'm back with the story. I pushed its update back due to lack of reviews. I only got two *sniff*
So THANK YOU:

You two are so cool for reviewing often *nods happily* (especially you Blaze, you've been reviewing since the beginning ^_^)
On with the tale.
Chapter 8
Era ran through the woods, even now as the sun lazily rose. By now she had put many miles between her and the ice village but she was afraid of stopping in fear of being found by Yusuke or Van-Gareth. She did not want Yusuke to be mad at her and she most definitely did not want to fight Van- Gareth now that she was growing tired from running.
She stopped and sat with her back against a tree trying to regain her breath, she did not have a chose it was either stop voluntarily and find some place safe to take a nap or stop when she fainted from lack of breath and be vulnerable. She was exhausted and dozed off when her breathing had come back to normal, leaving her senses open for attackers.

Yusuke ran down the halls frantically looking for his friends. He found them leaving the house and heading towards the path exiting the town. Before he could think about what he was doing he tackled the two of them to the ground, the two Shinobi let out a cry of surprise.
When the three of them had re-oriented themselves the talking began. Jin sat Indian style in mid air and Yusuke and Touya sat on the snow-covered ground.
"What was 'at for?" Jin asked, his voice showing that he had calmed down greatly since the encounter in the dinning hall.
"I... I wanted to stop you," Yusuke said as he was catching his breath. When there was no answer he continued, "I'm sorry for before... I was just mad that Era would ditch us with out telling us personally."
"She was afraid to," Touya said quietly. He then looked over his shoulder at the path their friend had taken only a few short hours before, "She didn't want you to act like you just did a moment ago, with her."
Jin nodded his head, "She knows you 'ill come after 'er, just give 'er more time. There's no way we can fight the evil beast, we'd just get in the way. 'at's 'at she's afraid of."
"I know and it makes me feel so useless," Yusuke said sadly yet angrily at the same time.
"It does for us all Yusuke," the voice of Kurama was heard from behind him. Yusuke turned around to find the remainder of his friends standing there behind him. Kurama continued, "She wants to do this on her own but that doesn't mean we have to leave her to do that."
Yusuke looked confused at him. Hiei decided to explain, "What he means Yusuke is that Era may not want our help but she's going to get it."
"She has undoubtedly put great distance between us already," Kurama pointed out.
"Should we follow her? She didn't want us to get in her way and that all we'll do, for we can't fight Van-Gareth," Touya said annoyed, while getting up.
"We should indeed," Koenma said, "She could use the support of her friends in battle, especially since their powers are almost identical."
Botan smiled, "Bingo!" she said happily. "We don't need to get too close to the fighting you know. She just needs to know that we're there for her, supporting her, rooting her on."
"More like endangering her," Touya said half to himself before turning and walking away.
"Ah..." Botan didn't know how to respond.
"Well he's quite negative," Kuwabara said, "You'd think he would want to help Era as much as possible."
Jin looked at his retreating friend and sighed, "He 'ants to 'elp, but he doesn't 'ant to harm 'er either. He doesn't see good in lookin' for 'er."
"Well, in any case I'm going after her because I don't want to sit here worrying. Plus I'd rather die knowing that I at least tried to help a friend," Yusuke said as he started walking to the pathway.
"I agree with Urameshi. If that thing is put to sleep again it'll just wake up in another time and Era might not be around to stop it again. So we might as well try to help destroy it or at least protect Era so she can fight him again if need be," Kuwabara said before running to catch up with Yusuke.
"The oaf actually said something intelligent. Is the world ending already?" Hiei said joking slightly.
Kurama chuckled lightly, "Go easy on him Hiei, he has a hard enough time passing school."
"Hn, look who's making fun of him now," Hiei said uncaringly.
"I'm merely stating a point," Kurama defended.
"Well boys if we're going to go with Yusuke we'd better catch up," Botan stated. When they looked up Yusuke and Kuwabara were nearly out of sight and Touya nowhere to be seen.
"I'll find Touya and try to get 'im to come," Jin said before running off in the direction he felt Touya's, quickly fading, spirit energy coming from.
"Alright then let's go," Botan said cheerfully.
All five of them, Kurama, Hiei, Botan, Koenma and Yukina, ran to catch up with Yusuke and Kuwabara before they lost sight of them altogether.
*****
Era awoke to voices around her; she kept her eyes closed and breath steady so that whoever was around her did not know she was awake.
"This Sheila's crazy sleeping out here, especially since there's an evil creature wandering about," said someone masculine with a somewhat gruff Australian accent.
"Well she's obviously alive so something must have happened for her to make such a stupid decision as this," another male voice said.
"Don't make stupid assumptions, it's more likely that she doesn't care," yet another male voice said, "Why else would someone, especially a female, be out here alone on times like these and sleep as peacefully as she is. Plus she's not hurt so something couldn't have happened."
"Now look who's making stupid assumptions," the voice from before said making the one being accused growl.
"You guys are going to wake her," a male child's voice said.
"Ah who cares," said the somewhat gruff voice, "Let's just take the Sheila to the ice village where Yusuke's power is coming from, she'll be safer there."
With that said Era jumped up, scaring the child who stood in front of her. She would not go back to the ice village that she had just run from. If that happened everything she had done would have been in vain.
The child she had scared fell back with a light cry, which startled the others he was with, they looked at the girl who stood before them with curiosity.
"Well, Sheila's awake," the man with the somewhat gruff voice. The man was tall and looked to be in his early thirties. He has blue eyes and a blue Mohawk with a long piece of hair in a ponytail that forced out into the style of a snakes tongue at the bottom (it had a tightly wound piece of red material around it until a bit from the bottom). He was wearing some type of material that slightly shined as a shirt, a red belt, greenish-brown pants, furry material that went from just below his knees to his ankles, a metal piece that extended out of it to his knees, and black shoes.
"Leave her be Chu," the boy said to the man who had spoken previously to Era. The child was wearing blue pants, a red shirt with yellow sleeves, white shoes, and a rather large hat twisted to his left, it had large yellow and red strips going vertically up to a small blue ball on the top of it. At his side was a small green bag; its strings went around his shoulder. He has brown hair that spiked at the bottom, green eyes and three red stars under his left eye.
"I'm not doing nothin'," Chu said defensibly.
The boy walked up to Era, "Hey. My names Rinku, the drunken oaf over there," he pointed the one he previously called Chu, "Is Chu." He paused at the confused expression on the girls face but continued a moment later, "Over there," he pointed to the other two a bit away from them, "Blondie's name is Suzuka..."
"Watch it kid it's the Beautiful Suzuka," the blond hair male said somewhat angrily. Suzuka looks to be in his early twenties with blue-green eyes and has blond hair, which defies gravity by staying up. He was clothed in a light yellow shirt and pants with a black belt, black slipper like shoes and two pieces of red material wrapped around his wrists.
The boy, Rinku, rolled his eyes and continued, "And next to him is Shishiwakamaru."
Shishiwakamaru looks to be a teenager with dark pink eyes and blue hair that also defies gravity. Two pieces of his bangs were sticking striate up in the air, the other parts jutted downward. His hair also spiked out slightly after his tightly wound red material, acting as a clip. He wore a white shirt, which folded over it self for it didn't have any buttons, and was tucked into his light blue pants (that stopped a bit up from his ankles) and was held by a red belt. On his feet were wooden sandals.
Era blinked, "Shishiwada wah?"
Shishiwakamaru made a face, "Shish-e-wa-ka-maru, what's so hard about that?"
Era looked at him nervously, "Sorry. I no good speaking."
"I'll agree with you there.... hey what's your name anyways?" Suzuka asked while walking up to her.
Era pointed to herself, "Me Era."
Suzuka stopped in front of her, "Era huh. Well you need to learn to talk babe you should say 'My name is Era' not 'Me Era', got it."
"Um... I tink so," Era responded sounding somewhat unsure.
"Think so," Suzuka corrected
Chu walked up and stood next to Suzuka and looked at Era, "How can you not know how to speak properly Sheila? I mean practically every demon knows how to speak since this is common tongue here. The only demons that don't really know it are the demons from the deep pits of the Makai."
"And she is not one of them, for they don't like the light. Plus they are ugly creatures where as this girl here looks very much the opposite," said Shishiwakamaru.
Era blushed slightly at the compliment and muttered a light, "Thank you."
"Where are you heading," Rinku asked. He put his hands behind his head and looked down before lightly kicking a stone at his foot, "I mean maybe we can help you since it's not safe and all."
"Aw, does little Rinku have a crush?" Chu said teasingly.
"Shut up and leave me alone," Rinku declared.
Era didn't quite understand what was going on, "I no need help. I going after Van-Gareth."
"Who?" Suzuka asked.
"Van-Gareth, the evil," she got out.
"WHAT!" the four hollered, making Era flinch.
Wahoo, another chapter done. Era's met the other piece of the gang. Yey!
Where is Touya disappearing to? Will he get himself injured because of it? Will Yusuke and the other reach Era in time? How is Era going to deal with this new band of people?
So few questions, too much time... Wait scratch that, it's the other way round.
Please Review so I can update soon.
Thanks and may the winds guide you to happy times.
