"We haven't run into very much trouble, have we?" Yamazaki suddenly said loud enough for everyone to hear.
"We will, you can be sure of that." Kuwabara stated, shaking his head.
"How are we gonna do the fighting?" Mesou asked suddenly.
"What do you mean, hun?" Kurama inquired.
"Are we going to fight one person at a time, in groups of two, all together?" Mesou continued.
"I say we fight in groups of two." Yusuke suggested. "For now we can have kids with their Dads until we all fight and figure out who should be paired up."
Everyone seemed to agree – except Kumi and Hiei. Neither of them said anything against or with the idea.
"That's settled then." Kurama nodded. "Now you don't have to worry."
"We better pick who fights first." Kumi said in a monotonous voice. "Because there's a fairly strong level of power heading this way."
Everyone pretty much came to a complete stop, except Kumi. Yamazaki had to grab her arm and pull her back.
"Can we go first, Dad?" Mesou begged.
"Hmm.........it should be us first. Then Eikichi and Kuwabra. Then Kumi and Hiei. Then Yamazaki and Yusuke. Then we can figure out who pairs with whom." Kurama said.
Kuwabara frowned. "That's the order we used when we first fought together."
"Good job." Yusuke said sarcastically. "You and Mesou ready, Kurama?"
"I am." Kurama answered, glancing at Mesou. "Or do you want to let someone else go first?"
"I want to go." Mesou replied, flipping her hair back. Eikichi was sure that he had seen a blue rose for a moment, but before he could decide if he had or not Mesou was holding a strange whip.
"You taught her that useless trick." Hiei muttered.
"Useless? Heh! What Botan does is useless. But that thing..." Kumi trailed off, smirking.
"It's a rose whip." Yusuke muttered to Eikichi, whom looked quite clueless. "It's Kurama's signature attack."
"I thought I saw a blue rose." Eikichi said.
"Kurama does almost the same thing. His rose is red, and it turns into the same kind of whip. It looks as if Mesou did get something from Botan." Kuwabara stated. "You see, blue is sort of Botan's, eh, color. You don't see very many blue roses, right?"
Eikichi shrugged. "Isn't a rose kind of a wimpy attack?"
"I will pretend I didn't hear that." Mesou growled.
"If it's anything like Kurama's, that whip can cut through anything." Yusuke piped up.
"Eh, Shorty," Yamazaki said. Having been at the front of the group with her, he hadn't heard a word of Yusuke/Kuwabara's/Eikichi's conversation. "What is it and where did she get it?"
"It's a whip, if you can't tell. A rose whip. I'm not exactly sure how it is, uh, brought out. I do know how it works though." Kumi said, smirking. "That thing could turn you into a diced tomato in seconds."
"Nice."
"Whatever."
"If you are quite finished," A female voice hissed from above. "I will be killing you now."
Everyone looked up, save Hiei.
"Who are you?" Mesou demanded.
The woman was floating above the group. She had long green hair and green eyes. She was wearing a green fighting uniform. "I am Kaida, you little brat. And my mistress wants you all dead."
"Who exactly is your mistress?!" Kumi yelled.
Kaida smirked. Suddenly Kumi was thrown back about ten feet – yet nothing had touched her.
"You bitch!" Kumi shrieked, getting up and rubbing her head. "You will wish you hadn't been easy on me with that wind attack! Mesou, you better make her SUFFER for that one!"
"No problem." Mesou chimed.
Being the smart idiots they were, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Eikichi made their way over to Kumi. This should be a safe distance to watch, riiiight?
"You two gonna be okay with this?" Yamazaki called. Not waiting for an answer, he walked over to the rest of the group.
And before you could say "Oh", Hiei had run off. Kumi frowned and glanced up, not even slightly surprised to see him in a tree. She shook her head then hesitantly went to go stand with the rest of the group.
Mesou smirked. "Ready, Dad?" She asked hopefully.
"You get first shot." Kurama answered.
Mesou's smirk dropped. "Cool." Suddenly she jumped up into the air and threw her rose whip out at Kaida.
Kaida shot upwards, barely avoiding the whip. "You have to do better than that, girly!"
However, Mesou was ready for it. The whip had come back around and wrapped around Kaida's ankles. The thorns dug in to her skin, holding on tight. As Mesou fell back to the ground, she pulled Kaida down with her.
"Gah! Bitch!" Kaida yelled, waving her hand downwards at Mesou.
A sudden gust of wind smacked into Mesou and she felt her grip loosening on her whip. She tried to grip it tighter, but instead her hand slipped away and she was shot off into a different direction, landing on the ground with a groan.
Kaida growled in slight frustration as she landed down on the floor. She looked down at the rose whip and probably would have leaned down to rip it off if it hadn't just turned into a blue rose. "Oho, nothing without your whip, eh, girly?"
Mesou groaned as she sat up, looking a little dazed. "Kiss my ass..." She muttered dizzily as she got to her feet.
Kaida felt a smirk forming on her face. She raised her hand in the air. "Goodbye, little girly." She was about to throw her hand down with another wind attack when she felt thorns digging into her wrist. "AH!" She looked up, a look of pure anger on her face, right up at Kurama. "You bastard!" She yelled as she grabbed onto his rose whip, ignoring the thorns cutting into her skin and pulled him towards her.
Kurama was definitely more skilled with his rose whip than his daughter was. He made a swift movement, pulling the rose whip forward and smashing Kaida down to the ground. "Don't call my daughter a bitch."
Mesou tried to gather her thoughts as she held her hand out and concentrated the best she could. Her blue rose flew up from the ground and into her hand, instantly turning back into a whip. "It's okay, Daddy...'cause I'll be a bitch now."
"They're fighting."
Botan looked up from the paper she was working on. She took her glasses off and eyed Shinobu carefully. "What?"
Shinobu was leaning against the doorframe and watching his Mother seriously. "Kurama and Mesou are fighting in the other world right now."
Botan put her glasses down on her desk. She stood up and started to pace the room. "How are they doing, Shinobu? Are they okay?"
"They're doing fine, Mom. Mesou even used a bit of the powers she inherited from you." Shinobu lost his serious form and smiled. "They're fighting against a woman named Kaida; she has wind powers apparently. Kurama's letting Mesou fight a bit more, but he has been jumping in when Mesou needs help."
Botan stopped pacing the room and stared at her son intently. "No." She stated firmly.
Shinobu continued to smile at her. "You always seem to know when I want to do something. I already talked to Koenma, Mom. I'll be going to that world soon to help them out...and I'll be bringing some people with me."
"What?! Shinobu! How could you go behind my back and talk to Koenma?! I already told you no! And you better not be bringing who I think you're bringing, young man!" Botan yelled at him in a very angry tone.
"I'll miss you, Mom. But I'll make sure everyone comes back alive for you, okay? I have my communicator, by the way." Shinobu informed her. He had thought about simply walking out at this point, but instead walked over to his Mother. He hugged her tightly. "It'll be okay..."
Botan hugged him back. "Be careful while you're there, Shinobu...and don't let anything slip about Katgi."
"I would never."
Yukina was sitting up on the roof of her house, swinging her legs off the side. She was watching the beautiful sunset with a small smile on her face. It was beautiful...
"Mom? Are you up here?" A 13-year old girl asked as she looked over the roof from where she was standing at the top of the ladder. She had beautiful dark green hair and dark navy blue eyes eyes. She was wearing a green T-shirt and jeans with sneakers.
Yukina looked over to the girl and laughed a bit. "Is something wrong, Jaduna?"
Jaduna smiled at Yukina. "No, Mom, I just wanted to know where you are. Watching the sunset again, hmm?"
"Yeah...it's beautiful..." Yukina answered as she looked back.
Jaduna climbed up onto the roof and walked over to her Mother. She sat down next to her and hung her feet off the side of the roof, swinging them back and forth slightly. "Yeah. I guess it is beautiful."
Both of the girls turned back to the ladder when they heard it creaking.
Jaduna got to her feet and into a fighting stance. "Who's there?"
Shinobu laughed a bit as he got to the top of the ladder. "It's only me, Jaduna. You know big ol' Shinobu won't hurt you."
Jaduna smiled. "Hey, Shinobu! What's up?"
"I wanted to know if you would like to come on a mission with me, Jaduna."
Keiko got up when she heard the doorbell ring. She answered the door and smiled when she saw it was Botan. "Hey!" She exclaimed before noticing the serious nature of the woman. "Botan, is something wrong? Did something happen to the boys?!"
Botan tried to smile. "Oh, no, everyone in the other world is fine. I'm afraid that there is something wrong, though. May I come in?"
Keiko nodded and opened the door enough for Botan to get in. Botan walked in, and Keiko closed the door behind her. "What's wrong, Botan?"
Botan refused to meet Keiko's eyes. "Is Kameko home, Keiko? She needs to be here."
"Yes, of course she is." Keiko answered. "Kameko! Can you come in here?"
A 15-year old girl, assumabley Kameko, walked into the room. She had long black hair pulled back into a braid and brown eyes. She was wearing a tight red sleeveless shirt that showed her mid-drift and black shorts with her sneakers. "What's up, ma? Oh, hey, Botan."
"Keiko, I know I said that I wouldn't need Kameko to go on the mission with your husband and son. Kameko, I know that I agreed to let you stay out of it." Botan sighed. "But Shinobu went ahead and talked to Koenma...and now they want Kameko to go on the mission with them. What do you say, Kam'? You don't have to do it; just say no."
A 14-year old boy was lounging on the couch, watching TV. He had brown hair and silver-blue eyes. He was wearing a black T-shirt and black jeans. He seemed to be home alone.
"Kiyoshi. Pick up the communicator."
The 14-year old, assumabley Kiyoshi, took a spirit world communicator out of his pants pocket. He flipped it open and frowned at the image of Koenma. "Hey, Koenma, what's up?"
"Kiyoshi, I need you to come to my office as soon as you can. I am putting you on the mission with your Father and brother."
Kiyoshi bolted up into a sitting position, staring at the communicator. "YOU'RE GOING TO PUT ME ON A MISSION WITH EIKICH?I! WHAT, ARE YOU CRAZY?!"
"Just get here as soon as possible, Kiyoshi."
Princess Kat: Oho, isn't that a bit of a plot twist. n.n More kids. I bet you didn't expect that. I wonder how Mesou and Kurama are fairing on their fight. Well, wait for the next chapter and you'll find out. Read and review!
