Leaving in One Piece
(AN: So Horo-Kun's your muse now, eh?
What took you so long?! Kami-Sama! I'm not that hard to get a hold of!
Um...that link you sent me...I'll look at it when I have time, kay?
So, a fire demon fight, ne? Awesome! How's it gonna turn out?!
Kami-Sama! Could you people wait until the end of the chapter for once?!
Heh, Sorry, Avia-Chan...
It's okay, I'm trying to get into a violent mood for the battle and you're the closest person to vent on...sorry Horo-Kun.
Eh, 'sokay...
You get to ask an important question of the readers this chapter!
I guess just read off this stupid piece of paper, ne?
Yup, that's it.
After you read this chapter, should...hee...Bob-Chan...continue the fic with new plot lines, do a sequel, or just leave it there? Your choice.
What are YOU doing here, human? I do the first author's note! This fic is about me, no matter how stupid it is...
Hiei?! Oh...boy...
Get out of here!
I don't know how...Avia! Where'd you go?! Avia!! Help!!
Hee hee...clash of the bishi muses....)
(ANPS: hai, I have a friend named Sierra. Actually, if you were to spell Sierra a different way, it would be wrong, seeing as it's the Spanish word for "Mountain range" Personally, I think it's pretty...but...hey, I'm in two Latin-based languages as it is, it could just be that I'm partial...say, V-Chan, if you're interested, I have a furuba rpg that really needs help...there are four members, but only three posters. Um...I hope you join...I have to go write this chapter...)
(ANBTW: no one guessed...Bunni-Chan tried to...at least I think she did...Anyways, if you were wondering about my own name, yes, I go by Bobbie. Which means, my real name is Roberta. I was named after my grandmother...who was named after her grandfather...who was named after Robert E. Lee. Thus giving you my middle name. Lee. Weird, I know, but hey, I live for weirdness)
"Oh! Forgive me, I forgot to announce who the moderator was..." Hitsujiko said, looking from Kurama to Shouka.
Kurama stepped forward with a smile.
"I guess that means we're the cheerleaders...uh..." Yusuke said to Shouka, waiting for a name.
"Shouka."
"Okay!" the human said, taking a hold of Shouka's arm, leading her off the volcano.
Hitsujiko sighed as Nanashi finished putting her braids into a bun so it wouldn't get in the way. "The moderator has the power to call a break for the fight. He also has the power to say who won. But only the fighters have the power to say when the fight is done. Good luck to you both...Fighters take your positions!" He looked from Hiei to Nanashi and back again. "forget the rule about sparing the mountain, too!"
Hiei took out his katana and Nanashi dug out a scimitar.
"Kitsune-San, you take it from here," Hitsujiko said, walking off.
Kurama smiled and took a few steps to the side. "Whenever you're ready." He shook his head as the two fire youkai started the fight off at top speed...as usual. This was just like Hiei. Start the fight off with the weakest thing you have, then finish it with a bang. He sighed. Now if only they could slow down a bit so he could at least see what the heck they were doing...
Shouka looked up at the fight only to see a black and red blur. "I can't see anything..." she remarked with a sweat-drop. Yusuke, however, didn't seem to have that problem.
"Ooh! Ouch! Come on, Hiei, you can do better than that! Yes! Get her!! Come on!! You've got her on the run!!"
"You can see them?"
Yusuke looked around nervously. "Every now and then..." He laughed. "Only to see a blood spatter or two."
'Before I turn this up a notch...' Hiei's voice rang through Nanashi's head.
'You think YOU'RE going to turn this up a notch?! Why not two?'
'Have you figured out why I carry the tear gem around?'
'You mean the bait?' she asked, dodging his sword, leaping over his head, and striking at his head.
'Exactly. Do you even care?' he threw back, dodging her attack and darting behind his opponent, hoping the element of surprise was still with him.
'No, it's just something to egg you on,' she answered, blocking his attack, boosting up energy and concentrating it to her weapon. "Join in, won't you?"
"That's weird," Yusuke said from the ground.
"What?" Shouka asked, looking up at him.
"Hiei's usually the first to throw an attack like that. That girl's psycho!"
"Trust me...I know..."
"What's she like when she's not trying to pound the crud out of someone?"
"Just as weird..."
Hiei laughed and added his own energy to his own weapon.
Kurama blinked as Hiei and Nanashi started fighting again. Was it his imagination, or...were they moving faster?
Hiei jumped into the air to avoid an attack to the stomach and went with the dodge to go to her neck, but while his was going down, Nanashi threw a fireball from her free hand at his stomach
"Ooo..." Yusuke remarked as Hiei went crashing to the ground.
Nanashi looked over her shoulder as Hiei got up. She quirked an eyebrow at him.
"Trust me...that won't happen again!" he growled as he felt black flames encircle his right arm.
His opponent growled and started her own attack.
'I wonder what they're playing at now...' Kurama thought. "Oh...I guess I should get off the volcano, then!" he said with a laugh as black lightning began to crackle in the sky.
"What are they doing now?" Shouka asked as the crowd around her and Yusuke began to murmur.
The human turned his head to Hitsujiko and Kurama joining them.
"So the moderator ditched the fight?" the fire youkai asked.
"This is the finishing blow, Hitsujiko-San," Kurama said with a smile.
"It's the what?!" Shouka demanded.
"I wouldn't be too sure about that, Kurama!" Yusuke said with a laugh, pointing to the top of the mountain.
"Talk about smack-you-in-the-face symbolism!" Hitsujiko said with a laugh as two Dragons fought at the top of the mountain.
When the fight escalated to the use of the ultimate attack, of course, it attracted half the desert...It also attracted...the volcano.
"The volcano's erupting!!" Shouka screamed.
"Don't worry, Shouka-San," Hitsujiko reassured her with a smile. "I have a force field set up so the lava and debris won't reach the crowd and...Kitsune-San, I'm sure you can explain the other part."
Kurama nodded. "Hiei and Nanashi's powers are so high, they've created a force field around themselves in a way."
"That's not what I mean...I usually have a kourime to help me out when the volcano erupts in the middle of a battle. That's why you only see the rock stop half way down the mountain...Shouka-San, would you do the honors?"
Now the crowd had view of the two dragons coming in and out of the lava. A kourime was taking care of the oncoming lava, all the while giving the crowd a nice breeze.
The crowd of onlookers stood silent as the left side of the volcano deteriorated into ash.
"Which side was Hiei on?" Yusuke asked as the eruption slowly came to a stop.
"I don't know, but whoever is down is the one the moderator says lost!" Kurama answered, running into the wreckage, gracefully leaping off
'What happened?' Hiei wondered as he fought his way through hot debris, finally finding the surface. He and Nanashi were sword-fighting again after each had summoned their dragon and the volcano decided to erupt again. But the dragons were just for show.
He filled his lungs with air as the last of the debris fell away. He looked around, trying to find his opponent, but no avail. He climbed the rest of the way out and noticed how worn out and battered he was. It didn't matter, though.
"I was wondering how long it would take for you to find your way out, Hiei," Nanashi's voice said as she appeared in front of him. She crossed her arms and looked down on him. He looked at her in disgust. The only injuries he could see were the ones he had given her during the sword fight.
She won. She still had what he wanted and he wasn't worthy in her eyes. Who cared?
They held each other's glares until Nanashi reached into her pocket and tossed him something. The tear gem? He had lost, she didn't have to pity him.
"You mistake respect for pity," she said coldly.
"Who cares?" he snapped, getting up to walk away.
"Kouri."
"What?" he asked as he stopped in mid-step. "You want some ice after your high-and-mighty defeat of your pesky brethren?"
"That's my name."
Hiei slowly turned around after reattaching the tear gem to its chord and gave "Kouri" a very dirty look. (AN: no ecchi thoughts!!). After glaring at her for a few moments, he suddenly burst out into laughter.
Kurama, Yusuke, and Shouka were pretty out of breath once they had finally gotten over all the debris and half-dried lava. They had a lock on Hiei and Nanashi's energies, and had finally found where they were when they heard...laughter?
They finally found the two fighters standing in the middle of the rubble, Hiei looked a lot more battered than Nanashi, but he was the one laughing...and, of course, Nanashi looked smugly happy herself.
Suddenly, a seal with a sheep's head appeared next to the small group of onlookers and Hitsujiko glided out. (AN : yes, his name means "little sheep") "Well, Kitsune-San..." said the coroner, waving a fan in his face. "Which does the moderator say has won?"
Kurama looked from one Fire youkai to the two others in standing in the middle of the wasteland. He let out small chuckle. "Frankly, who cares?"
~~~~~~
AN: weird...it's like...romance but...not?
I know but...it's Hiei, after all. You're Horohoro, right?
Yeah, and you're the...guy with the gun...coming out of your finger? Never quite got that....
Eh, neither did I, but you get used to it...
Well, readers, what did you think?
Continue in another story, continue in the same story, or just stop?
You'd better vote, too, because her muse, Vera-Sama, has already voted, and her votes count as two.
