Lo again, kinda faithful readers! I know it has been a while, but hey, it's
finals week at my school. Lots of studying, lots of Christmas shopping, and
not much time for anything else. If you want to talk to me personally (and
I know you do), you can talk to me at Pojo.com in the chat room. Look for
Charninja11 (or possibly 12, 13, 14, or some other number, depending on how
long it takes you to find me). I am always willing to talk. About ANYTHING.
Well, probably, anyway. On with the story!
Chapter 28: And So It Begins (AGAIN, I might add)
When he stepped into the chamber, the fighting stopped. Osiris, Bast, Thoth, Sobek, and Anubis all looked at the new comer, and bowed in reverence.
"Hah, had enough I take it?"
"Sano, stop being an ass. This kid. What. . . is he?"
"A very good question indeed, Hiei. I just hope that we won't regret the answer."
"Heh, looks pretty short to me. But I don't think I would want to be on the receiving end of one of his head butts. I wonder who his barber is?"
"To answer your question, Yusuke, I cut it myself."
"That. . . would explain. . . a lot."
"Is it really my fault that I am too short to see myself in the mirror? besides, your hair is hardly any better."
"I like this kid. He's funny."
"I have been called many things in my time, Hiei. 'Funny' is not one of them."
"Then would you please tell us what you HAVE been called, sir? Have the advantage of us, you do."
"Call me. . . Yugi."

It was a long journey, through the desert. There was water enough, and everyone had certainly faced stronger monsters than what there was here, but that did little to help with the boredom. The mood was certainly lighter than I had been earlier, though, since they now had a defined goal, and a way to achieve. They continued marching.
************************
The gods had vanished, while Yugi told his tale. After a quick bow, and pledge of loyalty, they dissipated into the air, after they were relieved of their current duties in protecting the temple. Everyone was agape as the boy told them what had happened, what he had learned, and especially when he told them what must be done.
"Interesting story, Yugi. Do you know anything else about these Three? other than the bit about them being unstoppable, quirky, and having been locked up since before the beginning of time by heroes unknown?" Kurama asked.
"Not really," said the relatively normal Yugi "I think they might be related to Duel monsters, though I have no idea how. I know they aren't the god monsters though; I have already dealt with them. I wish I had more to tell you, but I. . . just can't. . . remember much else. There was something about popcorn, though."
"Popcorn? what? were they watching some movie? what the hell does popcorn have to do with anything?"
"Would you prefer human hearts, Yusuke? I know quite a few demon gods that eat those. Never really understood why though, hearts are almost always the toughest of the vital organs."
"You would know this personally, Hiei?"
"Yes, Sanosuke. I would." answered Hiei, oblivious to the sweat drops of everyone else.
*These guys are weirder than Inuyasha and his friends. At least Inuyasha hasn't eaten somebody's heart* thought the slightly worried teenager with a multicolored pin-cushion for a hairdo.
******************************
The Three watched in earnest. The explosions were always their favorite part. Then the more responsible of The Three turned the channel, and they all got back to watching what the soon to be accomplices in their escape were doing.
You know, I can't help but wonder what The Three were watching. I wonder if it is any good. Moving on, as always, comments, rants, suggestions, ideas, and random crap that has been flying through your skulls for a bit, is always appreciated. And again, feel free to talk to me at Pojo's.
