NJ: Thank you to the OH-SO-MANY reviewers of the last chapter...(sarcasm)
No, really, thank you to those few who bothered, unlike SOME people...As I'm told I'm not allowed to respond to reviewers and that fics are being deleted for authors notes, I would just like to thank one person:
HazardousToYourHealth for reviewing every one of my chaps and mentioning my stories in her own. Also for writing such a brill story (not to mention the best reviews that I've ever read) and inspiring me to become a better author and write more. She was also the first person to put me in her favourite author/story list...THANKS HAZARD! So to the rest of you, GO READ HER STORIES DAMN IT!!!
NJ: ::bows:: But right now I'm so depressed...
Kurama: What about, NJ?
NJ: ::whispers::
Kurama: ::eyes widen:: Wow...Reviews will make you feel better though, won't they?
NJ: ::nod, nod::
Kurama: ::holds up sign:: R&R to cheer up NJ! ::starts pacing::
Yusuke: ::watching Kurama's progress:: NJ doesn't own YYH...Hey Kurama, where'd you get that sign?
Chapter 4: Villains, allies...I'm so confused...
"KEIKO! HURRY UP!"
"Hold your horses, I just need this last arrow..." Yukina sighed heavily, walked over to Keiko and pointed out the arrow in some obscure place...say, in the freezer? Keiko laughed nervously,
"How did that get there? Ehehehe..." Botan glared, and Yukina shook her head trying to dismiss the contagious baka-ness that Yusuke had infected Keiko with.
"Alright! Let's go already!"
----The Bishies----
...Were still sleeping.
"...ZzZzZzZz..." ...You get my point...
----The Anonymous Girl----
She landed gracefully onto the warm sand, the impact sending out little clouds to cover up her tracks as she darted off again in the direction of her easy victims. A few small desert lizards witnessed her passing by a cool breeze, and the kicked up sand. She kept checking a small compact communicator for some signal of her...allies. Friend was such a strong word for these people. The girl caught sight of two dark silhouettes out of the corner of her eye and veered to the left to change direction. She had to catch them by surprise, she didn't want a confrontation or she would have to hurt them.
"Finally..." she whispered, words lost in the oncoming wind, "I get to have some fun" She tackled the first to the ground, causing the other to arouse and disappeared above them,
'An aerial attack is the only way to go' she remembered fondly, being told by a thief, a reasonably good thief, but compared to the infamous Youko Kurama and Kuronue, he was a clumsy oaf and made a lot of mistakes, one that even cost him his life.
She came down with a swift strike to both of their heads. There was no escape. They were her prey. They were in her territory. They were out cold before they knew what hit them.
---The bakas---
When we left our bakas, a coyote was howling, Baka1 (aka Kuwabara) was chewing his foot and Baka2 was spazzing out to the point of hair-gel melt down. Suddenly Yusuke was shoved down to the ground and when he and Kuwabara looked, there was nothing there. A quiet whistle of steel as it cut through the air sounded above them and they fell to the ground, as they were, unconscious. The girl drew her hood about her face and shuddered as she leant down to drag them away. With a smile she purposely took them through the many cactus fields dotted around the empty plain.
----Many hours later----
"Finally...made it..." she panted as she reached the oasis of the bishies with spiny bakas in tow. Kuwabara was still curled up with his foot in his mouth and now looked like a hedgehog, while Yusuke just looked spiny. A light pink tinted the sky as she looked up and scowled. Kurama's eyes fluttered open for a moment and She almost gasped at the colour of his eyes. Unintentionally piecing together his good looks, some rather...naughty thoughts entered her mind...
Hiei was waking up also and, eh, read her mind and almost gagged,
"YOU! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!" he growled unsheathing his katana and she just smiled like she did last time. Kurama looked surprised as he watched her and vaguely wondered what Hiei was talking about, as he was pretty certain that he had never seen her before.
She just cocked her head to one side and wagged her finger from side to side in a mocking manner before pointing out a particular space on the floor and stepping away from it. Hiei ignored it and followed her movements very carefully until a loud bang arrested his attention and woke up the bakas. A wide portal had erupted from where the girl had pointed and out came Keiko, Yukina and Botan in a tangled heap. Hiei looked back to where the girl had stood and was met with empty air. Kurama had been the only one to see her leave; she had put her index finger to her lips in a silencing gesture and given him a real smile, unlike what she gave to Hiei, which was more of a smirk. She had then darted up into a tree behind her and Kurama could feel her crimson eyes watching them closely. He was more or less utterly confused.
"Oww...Botan, you're sitting on me..."
"Oh, gomen Yukina..."
"Uggh..."
"KEIKO?!"
"YUKINA?!"
"BOTAN!!! WHY DID YOU BRING THEM HERE?!"
"TO HELP YOU!!!"
Kurama, Botan, Keiko, Yukina, Kuwabara & Yusuke: ::are marching about with signs and chanting:: R&R to cheer up NJ! R&R to cheer up NJ!
Hiei: Baka kitsune, baka ferry girl, baka onna, ... , baka, baka detective...::types review::
NJ: Who is She? Do you care? Will Hiei really write a review? Will the tantei kill her? Can she actually talk? Will this fic ever end? Will I ever shut up? Maybe...All shall be revealed in the next instalment of THE FOUNTAIN!
Sorry for the itsy bitsy chapter size and probably the lack of humour...also the events in the summary haven't started yet, so please be patient. Also any fluff will be clearly marked so you can avoid them if you so choose. Please R&R and flamers will either be ignored or ignited, depends upon my mood...
