Exiled

Part 5

To the others on the crowded street, the young man with the white eyes was just another student off to high school. Another menace to society maybe but that was nothing new. Alright, so not just another student to a few teenage girls in school fukus watching him like hawks, intent on having him as their new flirting victim. Can't honestly say I envy him though.

But this boy was hardly normal, for example, just another high school kid would be staring back at the girls, falling back to meet them, acting macho...ya know, the whole deal or he could also be trying to lose them ASAP before his gurl found him. He also could be completely oblivious.

This boy however was doing none of the above and was distinctly aware but his mind was preoccupied with locking onto a Youki. Ladies and gents, I present to you, Hyuga, Neji. (curtain rises) well, if you usually do that bright and early each morning, forgive me for my impudence, yes then, he's perfectly normal...but unless you do, let's consider this unusual...

Neji instantly switched to 'track' mode and took a direct path to a small, secluded alley (don't you just love how small secluded alleys are just ALWAYS conveniently placed for the 'good guy'?) and preformed a very basic invisibility jutsu. Actually it was just a Henge to look see-through. A regular person would see a shimmer but here, people would just dismiss it. It wasn't that he couldn't do anything more complicated, it was just the fact that it was sufficient and took minimal amounts of chakra.

With that, he leapt onto the rooftops to follow the demonic chakra. It moved extremely fast but hardly close to Lee's currant speed. Following easily, Neji prepared himself for the worst. Suddenly, it had stopped, taking advantage of the chance he quickly closed in. about 200 meters away, he took cover and added layers to the genjutsu. About high-jounin detectable now, it was probably sufficient.
A certain koorime stood high upon a rooftop of a tall building, looking over the multitudes of people down below.

'Hn, filthy ningens' he thought offhandedly,

'May I remind you that you are not so very well acquainted with the idea of soap and water yourself?' said that nagging little voice in the back of his head, ( FYI - no, he's not schizophrenic, most people have it. It's called a conscience XS)

'No you may not' he bit back sharply; apparently, he wasn't currently in a 'argue with the little voice in the back of your head' mood.

Suddenly Hiei's (if you hadn't already figured who he was) voice stopped and his Jagan picked up a waver of energy in the air. Frowning, he pulled his headband off and opened his third eye completely. Now he saw a humanoid figure, roughly anyway. It was extremely sketchy and lagging. He tried to jump to get a better view. Well, he would've if he could move.

With a bit of trouble, he got free only to find the figure gone. Frustration laced his mind as his hand flew to the hilt of his katana in practiced ease, he waited, alert until he finally felt an abrupt jolt from nowhere in particular and suddenly he found himself standing in a clearing in the woods. 'Hn, that was odd, well, at least there's no ningens in the way'

Suddenly, he heard a voice but he couldn't tell where it was from because it was extremely soft, if not for his demon hearing, he wouldn't have heard it at all. "Itachi? Yeah it's me, you might want to come down here to help or to collect my dead body or something, it's a youkai, male, appears strong and he's got this freaky green eye that can partly see through genjutsu...(unintelligible)"

The presence entered into the range of his Jagan again but now, if possible, it was even fainter than before. Suddenly, he could see it now. 'it' was a youth, about Yusuke's age and had long, ebony hair and white eyes. Hiei charged with his Katana. The guy suddenly took out a scroll and opened it. with some weird gestures, he made a sword come forth. He pocketed the scroll and drew the sword. All before Hiei had reached him (which was considerably fast).

The enemy came faster than Hiei had expected and was completely silent. His blade was well crafted with a black blade, likely for stealth. In assassinations many in Makai painted their blades black because even in moonlight, a silver, polished blade declared its presence well.

Neither was getting the upper hand but both were holding back a little. Slash, block, block, jab, parry, block, slash, recover...

The youkai was undoubtedly strong but it hadn't preformed any chakra-based attacks yet. He was honestly as good or better than Tenten, the weapons master (which was really saying something) and so he had to use the Byakugan to slow down time (for him) and to see all the attacks and he also had to add a bit of chakra to each blow and block to resist. It wasn't the best idea right now to go for taijutsu either.

The youkai (let's just label him freaky green eye kid for now) suddenly detached and within seconds, unwrapped the bandages around one hand/forearm. I had no idea what was underneath but once I saw the chakra emanating from a tattoo of a black dragon, I had an idea.

"DRAGON OF THE DARKNESS FLAME!" freaky green eye kid shouted and suddenly, a huge fire dragon erupted out of...something. It was like the ordinary fire dragons made by shinobi; but the flame...something about the flame just wasn't right. It was...dark and it gave of 'bad vibes' if you know what I mean.

Options quickly flashed through my head as it always did in a fight.

1. counter with water dragon...too much water, there's none in direct supply, takes too much chakra to form my own

2. do something with earth...barrier probably, Yup, that was the one.

"Doton: Doryuuheki!" seals flashed, mud spewed and a barrier formed. Intense heat started to melt the stone but it remained firm but after a little, it began to give way. I leapt back just as it penetrated a weak spot. I burned my shoulder in the process...damn, I didn't want to screw up the shirt...I instantly formed a layer of protective healing chakra around it and although it hurt like a bitch, it was completely superficial.

Freaky green eye kid looked shocked. I bet he's not used to that thing failing. Odd, however, it didn't require any seals. Maybe it's just a demon thing...who knows?

Suddenly, I felt something try to probe my mind. Like hell I was going to let that happen. In ANBU training, each member was put under mind stress and attempted control because if you are in the ANBU...you know too much. Er, well way too much to let enemies know about. Each member in turn taught how to resist it. I put it into use now.

Suddenly, Hiei saw a picture of a silver phoenix, shrouded in flames, the next, he was blinded with a bright flash of light. Stumbling back from intense pain, it was all Neji needed to pin him down. firmly holding him to the ground, he made some seals...it was of a sealing jutsu designed for demons. He didn't know just why the hell he took the trouble to learn it but was happy to see it come in handy.

When he finished, without looking up, he said, "took you long enough, Itachi, missed out on the fight. No matter, you can interrogate him if you want. I faintly remember it being mentioned that you can be very...persuasive"

"Hn" (who was this from... . jks, this one was from Itachi)

"Hn" (just guess)

Inwardly I snickered while my face betrayed none of my inner amusement. I think Itachi sensed it anyway, he smirked and said, rather cynically (as most interrogators get, coughIbikicough)

"This will be fun"

"Think again teme" Freaky green eye guy replied calmly, as Itachi and I sensed a strong youki coming closer and closer...

Yay! Another chappie up! Um...yeah, I know that I don't really do good fight scenes...but yeah, just accept it as another amateur's work... (sob) I was apprehensive about introducing YYH at all (Yu yu hakusho) but in the end, I decided to go ahead. Most people who like Naruto have seen it...MOST. But if you haven't, just read up an anime profile or something because I'm not going to go too deeply into their past so ppl who haven't seen it don't get lost. But basically, if you don't, I'll just give u a brief intro...okie guys?

Well, YYH is about a group of 4 guys basically. They work under the prince of the spirit world, Koenma, to get rid of the bad guys and stuff. Ya know, like the FBI but only with Youkai and assorted other bad guys. They also have the grim reaper as their assistant. A bubbly girl named Botan...yeah, I no it's odd.

Guy # 1 is Uremeshi Yusuke, #1 delinquent at his school and the leader of the four. He's completely human but had died and come back to life. He uses various 'spirit' techniques such as spirit gun. He's 14-15 years old and loud and brash...like a less hyper Naruto.

Guy # 2 is Kuwabara Kazuma. He is in Yusuke's school and also human. He has some kind of ESP but only for spirits. He uses a spirit sword. He's rather dense in a retarded kind of way but he's reliable. Weakest of the bunch, he's Yusuke's age.

Guy # 3 is Minamino Suiichi (more known as Kurama) he's a very odd case. He was first a demon by the name of Youko Kurama but was fatally wounded so instead of dieing, he inserted his soul into a fetus of a human child. He grew up as a human but really is a demon fox (Sound familiar?) inside. He uses plants to fight. He's good looking and polite and always calm and calculating...he's older than Yusuke by a few years.

Guy # 4 is Jaganshi Hiei. He's...odd. He's a fire youkai although he had an ice maiden as a mother. He's always cold to others, calm...he fights with his Katana and is really fast. He's also vertically challenged. In short, a midget. A very cute midget. He had a third eye implanted (his Jagan) to search for his sister (which he later found) Yukina. Eck...not much to say.

Neways, that's just a short summary of it.

Yes, thanx 2 all u reviewers. Kudos 2 everyone. I've been told recently that I've been having too much fun with this fic...and it's true...I admit it and it makes Neji seem OOC but most of the commentary is mine so disregard that as my thinking...I don't deny it...but it's just the feeling of...POWER! Hehe, thanx again. All this support is great! It's what keeps me writing when I could be TPing my teachers house...hehe, luv y'all!, oh, and please read my fic 'Freedom' plz! I'm making a sequel because it's been requested so watch out for that, it's called "New Life" hehe...yeah.

I know my chapters are short and I try to improve so please help me with that...damn, I still can't go on hotmail...my inbox is probably exploding right now...(throws tantrum) not fair!
