Yay, me! Five reviews for three chapters in two days! and all were
positive, too. Mucho gracias to ss4rycol for being the first person to put
me in their favorite authors' page, domo arigato, dude!
That just sounded stupid. Anyway, the disclaimer, as always, is in Chapter One.
Chapter 3 Pt II: Pity those poor senseless thieves (who am I kidding, lets see some pain!)
"All right, kiddies, I want some answers right now! First Hiei complains about how humans are always bothering him, and normal people don't say stuff like that. Second, and most importantly, Yukina turns that ninja midget into an ice statue, and though the first might one might be explained away, the whole freezing thing is going to be very difficult for you guys to convince me that you're all human. So get to talking right now!" screamed a very confused (and slightly scared) Sanosuke.
"Oh, should I just kill him now? he'll only tell his friends, and then whatever cover we might have had would be completely blown. I'll even try to make it painless." asked Hiei, with a disconcertingly hungry look on his face.
"Absolutely not Hiei! I know some of the rules have been relaxed to make this job slightly easier for us, but we can't just kill someone because they know who we are. Besides, Sano and his friends are all good people, and many of them are surprisingly powerful and would make good allies in this sort of assignment." Botan rebuked. Now Sanosuke even more worried, because Yukina's "brother" had just threatened his life, and though normally Sano would have just come up with some "witty" remark, the look on Hiei's face said quite plainly that he had done that exact sort of thing before and to the sort of people Sano probably would have had nightmares about as a child (granted, Hiei almost certainly has).
"All right, all right lets not fight in front of the normal person, everybody huddle up so we can discuss this orderly!" ordered an impatient Yusuke. Kuwabara made a rather large and unnecessary point of being next to Yukina.
*What the hell is this "lets not fight in front of the normal person" crap? Now I know something big is up, very big indeed.* Sano thought, and the fact that Yusuke and the others were all whispering so lightly made it impossible for him to hear anything they were saying.
"Ready? Break!" Yusuke and the others shouted. Sano took this to mean that they had come to a decision. Sano knew that if they had decided to kill him or erase his memory or make him go insane, that he probably wouldn't be able to stop them, but he promised himself that he would fight no matter what if they proved to be aggressive.
"All right Sanosuke we'll tell you everything!" chirped a happy Botan, since she had gotten her way once again.
"Whaaaa!" Sano exclaimed as he anime falled to the ground with the really big sweatdrop common in such situations.*And to think I was ready to fight to the death!*
To cut a rather long story short, they did manage to tell him all the important bits about Yusuke and the others being spirit detectives and what they were doing in Tokyo, even the bits about being from the future and their spirit attacks. Sano actually took it surprisingly well, though they did have to calm him down after they told him about Hiei, Kurama, and Yukina being demons, and he almost fell unconscious when they told him that Botan was a grim reaper (which was really rather an odd choice of terminology, since Botan was about as far from grim as Hiei was from a sugar high, and to everyone's knowledge had never once done anything remotely similar to farm work.).
*I am in way too much over my head, and considering how my hair adds almost two whole feet to my height, that's really high on up there.* thought a particularly worried Sanosuke.
"Hmm, an interesting story, to be sure, but you mission will never succeed if I and my compatriots have anything to say about. You have already disgraced the bandit lords by killing Kizumishi of the Konohagekure Clan, and though you what you did actually made most of us quite happy, an insult to one bandit lord is an insult to all bandit lords, and our code demands that all insults and signs of disrespect be dealt with swiftly and severely. I am Mizusashki of the Kirigagekure Clan and my compatriots and I will be thine executioners!" said a tall man in a blue ninja outfit that left everything but his eyes covered completely, with an EXTREMELY large trident on his back.
"I am Kumagoro Bandit lord of the Kumogagekure Clan! What he said." exclaimed a giant of a man in a yellow ninja outfit, with another overly large weapon, in this case the same sort of zanbatoh that Sano had used before meeting Kenshin.
"I am Suneyoshi of the Sunogagekure Clan, and I agree with Mizusahki and Kumagoro that you must be destroyed!" said a man in an orange ninja outfit with a giant battle-axe that he should not even have been able to carry on his back, let alone fight well with.
"And I am Kizumaki, brother of Kizumishi and the new bandit lord of the Konohagekure Clan. You, girl, shall be the one to taste the wrath of my blade, and both it and me hunger for your blood." said another midget in a red ninja outfit that, unlike his brother's, fit him perfectly, and had a miniature samurai sword that complemented his stature well. He was glaring at Yukina as he spoke and made his intentions all to clear to the young ice apparition.
"Haven't we had to deal with enough evil ninjas for one day? I mean come on, they might be problem for other people, but these guys seriously don't know what their getting themselves into." asked a bored Kuwabara.
"I thought you could sense spirit energy, you oaf. These are not ordinary ninjas, they demons." Hiei snapped.
"Well yeah, they are that, but I meant what I said about these guys not being a problem. We've dealt with much worse than these wimps when we stormed Maze Castle. By the way, I call Kizumaki." retorted Kuwabara.
"I want Mizusashki, he's the most powerful." Yusuke responded.
"Fine. I'll take Kumagoro. Said Hiei.
"I guess that leaves me Suneyoshi." Finished Kurama.
It was horrible, what happened. There wasn't a single survivor. Kuwabara effectively made midget-on-a-stick with Kizumaki and his Spirit Sword, for a visual aid check out any of the sites about Vlad the Impaler. When Hiei was done with Kumagoro, there wasn't enough left to make sandwich for a kindergartener's school lunch, though he was sliced pretty thinly. Kurama also dealt pain when he turned Suneyoshi into demon Swiss cheese with his Rose-Whip, blood, internal organs, and all. But the prize for the most gruesome slaying had to Yusuke Urameshi for texture coating the walls with what was left of Mizusashki's body with his Shotgun attack. Everyone was sprayed with blood when that was finished.
"My coat, you ass, it's ruined! That was a designer label and cost me 300 skrull skulls to buy. YOU OWE ME 3OO SKRULL SKULLS!" screamed a horrified Hiei. (A/N Well, I guess he had to have some sort of weakness, and ya gotta admit, that coat is snazzy)
"Calm down Hiei, I'll get ya yer freakin' coat cleaned when we get back, I know this great dry cleaning place that it'll have it fixed up in no time, until then you'll just have to wear something else." Yusuke snapped back, and it at least seemed to calm Hiei down a little.
*************
"Hmmm, so they killed the other bandit lords as well. No matter. I have other lieutenants to stop them. Hehehehehe."
It's that Voice in the Dark again, but what does he mean by "other lieutenants" (as if you didn't know)? Anyway, see about updating again tomorrow, or maybe even tonight if your lucky. Kenshin and the others will be in the next chapter, I promise. In the meantime keep those reviews a'commin and as always, you're welcome to try and find any errors in my story.
P.S. I still really need a Rurouni Kenshin attack list, otherwise I might need to make the names (and the attacks themselves) up all by my lonesome, and I hold no responsibility with what happens after I make such a decision.
That just sounded stupid. Anyway, the disclaimer, as always, is in Chapter One.
