A/N: well, I need more reviews! It inspires me to write more! Rrr! I
really love it when people review!?
Well, as I said last chapter that was the last on without shounen ai.
I'm sorry for those of you who didn't want shounen ai! Keep reading?! Please?!
Just because it's shounen ai doesn't mean I'll have it specifically. It will just be slightly . . . hopefully.
At the moment I don't really know where I'm going with this fic but enjoy!
Babs just screamed at Jin.
"No!!! It can't work that way! He has to give me the necklace!"
"What are you talking about?"
I wish that I could have said anything but it seemed that Jin had it covered. Jin was holding my left hand and I was dangling down.
Even if I would never admit to it, I was terrified. I hated heights. I never had been up that high before in my life. I was almost shaking, but I tried my hardest not to. After all I didn't want it to seem like I had lost my cool.
"No! You have to give it back you hizoku! I can't take it anymore!"
"What are you talking about? You're crazy!"
Yet again all I could do was stare. Then my hand slipped a little. I tightened my grip on his hand and Jin looked down at me for a moment. Seriousness plastered throughout his face.
He could tell how scared I was. He quickly yanked on my hand and pulled me onto his back. I just put my hands around his neck as he grabbed my legs to I wouldn't just have to hold onto his neck and choke him.
I felt so much safer next to Jin than in the clutches of Babs. I tried to stay still lest I fall out of Jin's grip.
"I need it back! Give it to me!"
Babs just dove forward towards Jin and me. I quickly tightened my grip on Jin's neck as he dodged her punch aimed at him.
"No!"
I couldn't tell if Babs was always that way or if she was desperate. It seemed as though she could begin crying at any moment. She swung a few clumsy weak punches at Jin and he just weaved away from them.
All the while I was just clutching tighter onto Jin, scared that I would fall. Babs finally got Jin on the shoulder and he just stayed in the same place.
Babs was panting with desperation as Jin just flew forward and hit Babs on the collarbone.
A sudden reverberation, like a ripple in a pond, rang though the air and Babs once again, just as in my dream, screamed and her composure fell to pieces to be flooded with pain.
Her scream filled the air and I wanted to clamp my hands over my ears but I feared that I would fall if I did.
Babs stretched her wings out and fell. She plummeted towards the forest. Jin and I just watched her scream in pain and fall to the ground.
After about ten seconds we saw her land in the forest. A few birds fluttered from their branches and then the forest was still once again.
Both of us just stared for a moment. Then I realized I was up in the air again. I closed my eyes as a sudden wave of dizziness surrounded me.
"Daijoubou desu ka?"
Jin then turned his head to the side to see me. I had to think about the question for a moment. I opened my eyes to look at Jin. He seemed genuinely concerned for me.
"Hai."
"Ii. What happened?"
"I'll tell you when we're on the ground again."
"Yosh."
Jin smiled at me then started to glide slowly towards the ground. I think he could tell how scared I was of heights.
Suddenly a large eruption of leaves came from the forest where Babs had fallen. Babs flew out of the leaves and towards us. She looked just as she had before Jin had hit her.
"I will not be denied! I need that necklace!"
"Kuso."
Babs hurled herself up to where we were. Jin just flew to the side and Babs stopped where we had just been. Babs just looked to us with a desperate look on her face.
"Give it to me!"
"Iie!"
"You don't even know what it is whelp!"
"What do you want it for?"
"That's none of your concern. Now hand it over."
"Iie."
Babs just got into a fighting stance in the air but when Jin complied and got into a stance in the air too she seemed to be unhappy that he was willing to fight.
Babs let her hands droop to her sides and her hair fall over her face. I watched as a single shining tear fall from beneath her hair.
"Onegai, I really need it. I can't fight you anymore. I'll answer anything you need to know. I just need that necklace."
"Yoshi. Come down with us and we'll see."
Jin seemed skeptical about going down with her, but not like I could say anything. I was too surprised.
I seem to have trouble with what I say. Either I say something that I regret, or I don't say something that I should have. It's really not a good thing.
Both of us glided down to the ground. Once we touched down I quickly jumped off of Jin's back, fearing that longer exposure to him would cause me to blush.
I don't know why, but it always seemed that when I was around Jin I felt weird. I don't know what it is though? It's weird.
Babs landed about ten feet from us and sat down on the ground. Her hair was still covering her face.
Both of us watched for a moment but Babs finally spoke.
"I don't know what else I can do. I gave you the necklace Touya . . . but I can't take it anymore! I need it back! please?!"
"What are you talking about?"
"The necklace! I need it! Give it to me!"
"Explain it to me first."
Babs sighed in exasperation. It was as though her life depended on it. She turned her pale cloudy gaze upon Jin and I.
"I gave it to you so that you could hold on to it for me. Just so that they can't take lumen from me. It's the only way that someone could get it from me."
"What's 'lumen'?"
Jin inquired. I didn't know what it was either but I wasn't about to ask. I figured she was going to explain it.
"It's the star. I have it in but it's tearing me apart. I have to return it to the necklace before I'm destroyed!"
"Who are ya tryin' ta keep this away from?"
"I don't know. But I'm lumen's guardian. So, I can't let anybody take it from me."
"What's this lumen good for?"
"I can't tell you. But please, I beg of you! Give me the necklace!"
"I'm sorry, I left it back at the room. But why don't you come back with us."
Jin looked to me with uncertainty but I just looked back to him with assurance and he seemed to understand. We began walking back to the room.
"How far away is it?"
Babs said, she seemed kind of worried.
"About a mile. Why does it matter?"
"Because somebody's trying to take it, after all I would know. If we don't hurry up they'll be done and gone with the necklace."
Babs seemed pretty certain and quite calm but also worried.
"Well, I could get us there faster if ya like?"
Yes, it was true. Jin could get us there faster but not like I wanted to do it that way. I always hated that way. Not like I don't like Jin or anything but he always has to fly everywhere.
"I can fly plenty well enough but it doesn't seem that you can?"
Babs looked at me seriously. I just stared back normally. Okay, so it bothered me a little bit, she seemed like she thought I was a pest or something. Just a mistake that happened.
"I can take him. Don't you worry 'bout that."
"Then shall we go?"
Babs just spread out her long pink wings and flapped them. Jin just picked me up around my waist. Sure I turned a little pink in the cheeks but that was okay.
Babs gave me a sharp glance but quickly turned back to her attention to flying straight. We flew there in about two minutes.
When we got close to the hotel, within sight, Babs flew up ahead of us and landed on the roof of the hotel. She just stood there, wind blowing her feathers around, her hair seemed like it was alive all it's own. She turned to look out into the thick forest to the left.
"They're coming."
"Who's they?"
"Demons. They want lumen's captor. Where's the necklace?"
"It's in the room. I'll go get it."
I ran off, leaving Jin and Babs up on the roof. Babs seemed to have down a little bit and less desperate.
I ran down the stairs and opened the room door. I just walked quickly through the front room with Bakken in it.
I walked over to my bed and picked up my pillow. I gazed upon the silver charm for a moment. Then I picked it up. I felt the sharp points already digging into my skin. They were very sharp.
I quickly turned around only to be greeted by an unhappy Reisho.
"What are you doing here Reisho?"
"Oh, nothing. What's the hurry?"
"Nothing. Just Jin's outside waiting for me."
"I see. What's that in your hand?"
I looked down to my hand to see the gold chain hanging out of my hand. What was I supposed to do? I wonder how long Reisho had been standing there. I may have been able to lie. Oh yeah, I'm me; so much for that plan.
I just pulled my hand up and opened it in front of me so he could see it. He seemed quite suspicious of me. I guess I was acting suspicious.
"Just a necklace."
"It's very nice, but why would you need to come and get it if you're meeting Jin outside?"
Crap. I guess I really am the king of being bad at lying. Well, what am I going to say?
Okay, maybe if I open my mouth something will happen.
". . ."
Oh yeah, pure brilliance. I swear, I am the best at lying in the world.
Blink blink.
Just perfect actions wouldn't you say?
"Well?"
What was I going to tell him?
A/N: tune in for next time! Oh, and sorry it took me so long to update! You would not believe how much school work I have . . . stupid Shakespeare. . . he ruins my life. Now I have to memorize lines . . .
Sweet, so I would. Yet I should kill cherishing. Good night! Good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow. That I shall say good night until it be morrow. . .
Something like that anyway! Ja mata!!!
