Rant: Ok, I'm FINALLY updating this fic, after some much needed studying. Who knew Microbiology could be so hard? Well, anyway, those of you loyal fans of my fic, will be happy to know that I have a definite plot point now, and will be updating regularly [if I can]. So for now, sit back, put your feet up, and enjoy.
I am truly not making any money off of this, I really don't think that any of us are, I'm just a poor college student that is bored and somewhat imaginative. So, read, and Enjoy!
Notes: Sometimes it will be point of view, sometimes it won't, depends on where the story takes me, I will write and update often, since I know what it is like to be in the middle of a really good story and to just be left hanging.
(Words with a day will be journal entries made by the character, and I think in this story each character will have his own, maybe. Words with means they will be personal thoughts. Also, I may throw in song lyrics so beware of those.)
Glass Vase
Chapter 14: Blades and Smiles
Blue jean baby, L.A lady,
She was a seamstress for the band,
Pretty eyes, Pirate smile,
She'll marry a music man
Ballerina, must have seen her,
Dancing in the sand
And now she's in me,
Always with me,
Tiny Dancer in my hand.
-Elton John, Tiny Dancer
Nishi vanished in a slight breeze, only to reappear again, only leaning up against a tree. He looked at them with solemn aqua eyes. A small smile crept onto his beautiful face, a peaceful and graceful smile. Yet, it only served to make the Reikai Tantei paranoid.
Yusuke was standing shock still, back rigid, and eyes burning holes into his opponent. "This one's mine." He spoke with calm, the tone of voice they only heard when he was serious, and angry.
"No."
"What do you mean no! I called dibs! I saw him first, and I get first crack at his ass-kicking!" Yelled Yusuke to Kurama, who had his back turned to the Spirit Detective.
"I mean, you can't handle him alone." Kurama spoke quietly, eyes never leaving the stranger.
"I can handle him. I'm not the same snot nosed kid I used to be. Besides, he has the power of a Makai raccoon, nothing I can't handle."
"That's where you're wrong. You can't feel his power, not because he is masking his energy, but because he doesn't have any."
"What?! No energy?! That's bullshit! He's hiding it, plain and simple. And he's mine."
"Don't be stupid." Hiei broke the argument. He flashed his ruby gaze towards the dumbfounded Yusuke. "Listen to Kurama, he might just know about more about his enemy than you. Not all of us can go on our gut instincts and luck out all the time."
"What the hell? Luck out?! I'll have you know that I plan all my stunts." Hiei looked at him skeptically. "Well, maybe not all of them, but I know when I'm right, and I'm fucking right now!"
"Can we get on with this. I do have other appointments to keep, so I would appreciate it if we hurried this along." Nishi spoke from the tree he was leaning against. He looked at them with his aqua eyes, and admitted to himself that he was enjoying the argument.
"Hey! Shut up. We'll be more than happy to kick you ass as soon as we settle this, so just wait a fucking minute." Yusuke yelled.
Bored, Nishi settled on the ground, with his back on the tree, his eyes on his enemies, and his hands on the ground. He let his body relax and wane as he prepared. Hiei was looking at him intently, never leaving the subtlety of his position on the ground. 'What's he doing?' Nishi closed his eyes for the first time since the confrontation had started, and a light breeze kicked in and swirled the leaves on the trees. 'Something's wrong.' Nishi opened his brown eyes and smiled softly at Hiei. Brown....? Weren't they just green? Before Hiei could react, a tree limb struck out and hit Hiei square in the chest, knocking him 10 feet from where he previously stood.
The sound of the impact brought up Yusuke's and Kurama's attention. "Dammit! Where did that come from?!" Yusuke yelled, body in position and ready for anything.
"I told you I had other things to do, I just thought that I would start and be on my way after your destruction." He smiled broadly at Yusuke.
"Very funny jackass." Yusuke said from his position. "At least try something creative. Anyone can hit some one with a tree limb."
"Can you?" Kurama looked at Yusuke, with a slight smile on his fine features.
"No, but I don't see how it would be hard for anyone to do that." Yusuke looked over his shoulder at Kurama. "After all you can do it."
"K'SO!" Hiei yelled from Kurama's side. "Son of a bitch! What coward doesn't warn of an attack! Have you no honor you spineless bastard!" Hiei was already seething.
He leaped and cut the air where Nishi was sitting. 'Now this should be interesting. The little one has a fire in him, it should be an exciting match. Does he love the red headed one so much that he would risk his life? Or is it for honor of which he speaks?' Nishi smiled at Hiei, and let his brown gaze wander the length of Hiei's katana. 'It's so old, yet, he still holds on to it. Could they have been right about this one? Is his destiny the one the Dragon fore told? Is he- no, maybe.' He leapt out of Hiei's way, and gently landed on the limb of an old Sakura tree. 'I must know. If he is the one, then, it will all end with him.'
"You fight well little warrior." He smiled lovingly at Hiei, and watched the fire demon stop under the tree, and growl. "But I have other things to do before we finish this. Until we meet again small one, as for the redheaded one, you are no concern of mine, thus, you will be my last task for the crow. Ja mata." With that, Nishi disappeared.
They all stood dumbfounded and confused. "What was that all about?" Kurama and Yusuke spoke in unison. Hiei merely seethed and snarled at the empty air.
"Let's go, we have other things to do as well." Hiei spoke as he walked away from the pair. Kurama merely nodded and followed his friend, 'I better not leave him alone, I think his pride is hurt, but I'll fix that.' They left behind a very confused and irritated Yusuke.
"What am I supposed to do now?!"
To Be Continued...........
