A/N: I probably should be working on English right now but I'm a slacker
so that's good. Hope you enjoy, oh and I'll try to post the translations
for those of you who don't understand Japanese.
I just stared, trying to figure out what to do, I couldn't figure out how to fix this. What was that that she had just said. It didn't make sense to me. Just then Jin and Yusuke came up to the roof top with their friends.
"What happened to them?"
Yusuke said rudely.
"Shiri-masen."
I answered back still trying to figure out what Babs had just told me.
"Who's he?"
Jin asked me. But was abruptly cut off by many of the demons banging at the closed roof door.
"Where are we supposed to go?!"
Kuwabara shouted.
"Hey Jin, can ya give us a lift?"
Yusuke shouted desperately.
"I'll try to get us all up but I'm not sure I can do it."
Jin exerted a lot of energy but we all seemed to make it up all right. Jin was concentrating more than I thought possible from him, but I noticed how much strain it was to keep up this many people.
As quick as I could I made a large, and as light as I could make it, ice saucer type shape to hold us on in hopes that it would make it easier for Jin.
Jin seemed to understand when he saw me making it and seemed to be happy enough with the idea.
It seemed to work just fine as we all stood on it and Jin seemed to be able to concentrate less. But we all knew that he wouldn't be able to hold us for long.
"What do we do now?"
Kuwabara said stupidly. Well, I find most things he says somewhat stupid and not very well thought out but that's just me.
"I dunno, but think of it fast. I can't hold us up forever and those things keep comin'"
Jin said somewhat strained.
I thought about what Bab's had said. It must have made perfect sense in her mind but not mine. All I could think was that she had a brother, and he seemed to be the one that was against us.
Then I though to go through what she had said in my mind. Let's think, something about hell and seal it with an angel's blood. Well, worth a try. But wait. Problem, I remember that her blood evaporates.
I looked helplessly to her wing, it was dripping but as soon as it touched anything else it turned to mist. Maybe if there was something to mix it with to keep it from turning like that?
I stared to Babs's hand, which had my blood against her pristine near white pearl skin. As a drop of blood fell from her wing it hit her bloodstained palm and trickled off.
That's it; it has to be mixed with regular blood!
"I have it!" I shouted quickly.
I quickly put my blood right hand to Babs's wing and felt the cool substance stain my fingers. I pulled my hand away to see the two bloods' mix and turn a sickly pink. I walked over to the edge, which was right over the gap and waited for a drop to fall.
"Hey, nani tendesu-ka?" Yusuke asked, probably slightly disturbed that I wanted her blood.
"Just watch."
I said. I understood part of what she said, now let's hope I was right. I watched a drop form on one of my fingers and watched as it fell towards the gap in the ground. It fell for a moment then after that there was another loud rumbling and the gap closed slowly.
We all watched, as the final crack in the gap closed and the demons that were left out of the crack seemed to burn to ash. Jin let us all down and sat down in relief as we were all safely on the ground now.
"Well, that was a challenge."
Jin said with a laugh. I smiled. I loved to see Jin happy. It always made me feel so much better to know that he was happy too.
"So what do we do with them?"
Kuwabara asked motioning towards Babs and her brother.
"Don't know." Jin said, "but I think we can take care of it, sorry to bother you guys for nothin'!"
"Oh, if you hadn't come around we would probably never have figured out how to close that thing up and be dead. So in reality you did us a favor."
Yusuke said while walking off slowly back towards the trashed hotel.
"Well, let's go back to our hotel Touya. I'm beat!"
Jin said walking over to Babs and her brother. He picked up Babs and looked over to me.
"Coming?" Jin asked me.
"Yeah, I'm coming."
I said and ran over and picked up Babs's brother and put him on my back. We both walked for a while then Jin started talking.
"How'd ya figure out how to close up that big gap in the ground?"
"Something Babs told me before she passed out."
"So who's that and why are we takin' him with us? He seems like the bad guy, even though he's so young."
"Oh, he's Babs's otoutosan."
"He is? Did she tell ya this too?"
"Uh, yeah."
We just kept walking in silence. I feel kind of uncomfortable around Jin for some reason. I'm sure but I seem to like him more now. Wait, do I have a crush on Jin?
No, no that couldn't be it. We were just friends... right? Mattsu! I have a crush on Jin! I could feel the blood rushing to my cheeks as we kept walking in silence. Good thing Jin was walking in front of me.
Finally I managed to get my blushing down and we made it to the hotel. When we finally got inside we were very cautious not to alert Reisho. I guessed he was in his bedroom.
We both walked into our bedroom and set Babs and her brother down on a bed. I walked to the bathroom and washed my hand off that still had some of Babs's blood on it. I watched as the blood slid down the drain.
As I walked back into the room I saw Jin laying down on my bed seeing as his was occupied by Babs and her brother. Jin was sound asleep. I guess he was pretty tired from using so much of his powers.
I walked over to Jin and looked at his face, he looked so content just laying there. He didn't seem to have much of an expression on his face as his deep breaths slowly raised and lowered his chest.
I didn't mean to but I smiled. He just looked really cute sitting there. I quickly realized I was staring and turned to Babs and her brother again. As I began to wrap up Babs's wing in gauze I could hear Jin breathing heavily and muttering in the background.
Again I smiled. Jin always had something coming out of his mouth. It seemed to be a chronic illness for him. He even spoke in his sleep. But I had grown used to that. I thought to myself for a moment how long Jin and I had been close friends.
Wow, it must have been for a few centuries at least. I knew Jin almost as well as he knew me. But he didn't know everything about me. No one did. But he certainly knew the most about me. I finished up patching Babs's mangled wing and looked at the cuts on her arms. They seemed to be just scratches so I left them.
I walked to the other side of the bed and looked at her brother. He seemed to be all right except for a large black eye on his right eye. And there was a small cut on his cheek. I just put a bandage on that and walked out of the room silently, being sure to lock the door behind me.
No sooner had I turned around then Reisho was behind me.
"Hello Touya." Reisho said in a condescending tone.
"Oh, Hi Reisho. I didn't see you there."
I have to admit I was somewhat worried when I saw Reisho. Just hope he didn't see inside the room.
"May I ask why you're locking the door? Is there something in there that you wouldn't want me to find?"
Reisho asked. I could tell already that he wouldn't believe me no matter what I said. But I couldn't think of anything anyway. So what did it matter?
"Um, habit I guess?"
I shrugged and started to walk past Reisho but he caught my hand and pulled me back a little bit.
"I know you're lying. Tell me the truth."
Reisho growled. I could practically see those words forming in his mouth again...
"...omae o korosu..."
It still scared me. I shivered but Reisho seemed to find it somewhat humorous.
"What? Are you cold? I wouldn't think the ice master would get cold."
"Um, no. Not really."
Reisho sneered. He thought he had won.
"Then why would you shiver? And why were you lying to me?"
He moved closer to me and I tried to back up just to find a wall. Reisho kept coming closer to me. A frantic search of his face brought me no answers as to what he was thinking.
All I could see were his dark black eyes and his lips curving into those words again. I think that Reisho can see the fear behind my eyes. He seems to relish it.
"What are you trying to hide?"
Reisho said to me quietly. I had to fight from showing him my fear. He did scare me. I couldn't deny it. But I couldn't tell what he wanted of me either.
"Nani mo."
"Usotsuki. I can tell when you're lying. Now tell me the truth."
"I-"
I fumbled on words. Not sure if he was bluffing. Could he really tell if I was lying to him? Should I tell him the real truth, or try lying again?
"I- iie."
Kuso! Why did I say no? That was so stupid! Now he knows I'm lying. Well, now we'll never know if he was bluffing. I looked to Reisho with hardly a change in my face. he seemed angry.
"Why not? What is it that you could keep from me? I will find out."
Reisho still stood in front of me, looking down on me. He was taller than me and at the moment it was a little intimidating. Reisho pushed me by my neck towards the wall. Not hard but enough to bump me up against it.
"I will."
Reisho walked off and into his room. I sighed and closed my eyes. That was close. I'll have to be more careful when I talk to Reisho. Oh wait, I can't lie. That'll work. I really do need to learn how to lie. It seems like it would be a useful skill to have.
A/N: well... I told you I would make this chapter longer... it didn't work out too well... sorry!!!
