Disclaimer: I don't own YYH. I do, however, own Ari, and this fic. I do not
own Racada or Matthias. They own themselves. And they own the early
pairings, which will change soon.
Notes: As of now, the pairings are thus: Ari/Racada Matthias/Botan Racada/Juri Ari/Kurama
Thought I'd clear that up a bit. The pairings are weird right now. Everything will be clear in time. For now, I gotta update this chapter. Enjoy the madness!
Blood Sweat and Tears
Chapter 3: Truth Be Told
Ari and Racada turned to face a boy of about 5'6" with bright blondish white hair and light blue eyes. His skin was mildly tanned white. He was thin, and wore baggy cargo pants and a baggy long-sleeved shirt. He also had on a backpack. The boy looked to be close to 13.
"Hey Matthias," Racada said, "This is Ari. She's my date." Ari looked down. Something stung, right at the center of her heart. She knew she didn't like Racada like that. She knew what she had to do.
"Hey Racada," she said, "Could I talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure."
"Listen, this isn't gonna work out. I really hate to do this. I mean, you're a nice guy and all-"
"You're dumping me, aren't you?"
"I'm really sorry."
"It's okay. I understand. I would've broken up with you, but you beat me to it."
"Why did you ask me out, if you didn't like me?"
"I like you! It's just, I met this girl yesterday, and I didn't have the heart to cancel our date."
"I understand."
"Then, who do you like?"
"I don't know. I just know that he's out there."
"I found her files! My dad didn't delete them after all!" Koenma crowed. He held a file in his hands. He opened the file on his desk. The file contained a picture of a little girl, seemingly a year old. She had brown hair and brown eyes. She wore an outfit similar to the one Koenma wore in chibi-form, but pink. Then there was a picture of her as a teen. The picture was of Ari. "I knew it," Koenma whispered, "Ariana is Princess Hakurei. Ari's my sister."
Racada and Matthias followed Ari to the skating rink. Juri was there, watching the skaters. Ari had seen her at the Dark Tournament.
"Hey, there she is," Racada said. He walked over to Juri and hugged her. Matthias shook his head.
"He needs to stop randomly hugging girls," he said. Then he spotted everyone's favorite blue-haired ferry-girl. Ari followed him over to Botan.
"Hey Ari," Botan said.
"Hey," Ari replied.
"Hello. Who's this goddess?" Matthias asked.
"Matthias, meet Botan. Botan, this is Matthias." Botan looked at him and blushed. Ari smiled and put on her skates. She scanned the arena, looking for Kurama, but she couldn't see him. Just when she was about to give up, she spotted him. The redhead was skating alone in the center of the rink. Ari skated towards him. She called out his name, but her voice couldn't be heard about the crowd and the base of the loud music. She was closing in fast, and she had no way of slowing down. Murphy's Law was definitely in action. Ari's forward momentum kept her moving- Straight towards Kurama.
"Look out!" she cried. Ari closed her eyes. Kurama heard her, and turned around just in time to catch her, nearly losing his balance in the process.
"Are you alright, Miss?" Kurama asked. Ari looked up. She felt so horrible for going out with Racada. When she had told him, Kurama had been really disappointed. Ari looked at the ground.
"I'm okay," she said weakly.
"Ari?" Ari flinched and looked up. "I thought you had a date," Kurama said.
"It didn't work out," Ari said, "Racada met Juri yesterday, and didn't have the heart to break the date. Well, after we ran into Matthias, I realized that I felt really bad about ditching you, so I dumped him. He didn't mind." Kurama smiled.
"You really felt that bad about ditching us?"
"Actually," Ari blushed, "I only felt bad about ditching you, Kurama." 'What is this feeling?' Ari thought, 'I'm so nervous. What is this burning?' Ari blushed even more, as she realized Kurama was still holding her. Kurama blushed slightly and released her. The two skated off. Botan and Matthias sat, chatting. Racada and Juri, well, they were laughing about the Dark Tournament.
That's it. I'm finally done with chapter three. I have a ton of stuff to do. Like updating. So here're the tidbits.
"You wanted to see me, sir?"
"Yes. Who are you?"
"You've gotta be kidding me!"
"Can we come with you?"
'I've never felt like this before. What is this feeling? Could it be...? No. It can't possibly be. But it is...'
Enough to keep ya interested? I sure hope so. Ja ne!
