Disclaimer: Look at chapter 1. Too lazy right now.
Sorry I haven't updated in so long! I would have updated on Saturday, but I wasn't home that much. So, I'm gonna update this now so that Brett doesn't kill me.... ::hides::
(Chapter 6: A new enemy and... what the heck?!)
After Yusuke lost to Sandra at Go Fish for the 30th time, Yusuke gave up and glared at Sandra, who merely smiled sweetly at him. Yusuke growled, then went to see if dinner was almost ready.
Just then, Jenni walked out to say that dinner was ready and nearly ran into Yusuke. She moved to the side at the last moment and Yusuke nearly tripped trying not to run into anything.
Jenni chuckled and said, "Dinner's ready. I'll go tell Neko and you better not eat everything, baka!!!"
Yusuke smiled and nodded, grinning a little bit. Jenni death-glared him and he ran into the dining room.
Jenni sighed and left to tell Neko. She and Neko walked back into the kitchen and found Yusuke nursing a small bump on his head and Kurama shooting him a nasty look.
Jenni raised an eyebrow and Neko giggled. Kurama smiled and motioned for them to sit down.
Dinner was, for the most part, quiet. Except, of course, for Yusuke being an idiot and eating a whole lot. After about 20 minutes, everyone was done and Sandra and Jenni went to clean the dishes while Yusuke and Kurama said that they had to get home.
After that, Jenni and Sandra went to bed, their pets curling up next to them.
In the morning, Jenni woke to light shining in her open curtain window. She glared at the curtains, then got up and closed them. She looked at the clock and saw that it said 6:30. Jenni groaned.
'I'll never be able to get back to sleep now!' she thought, sighing. 'I wonder... how many years has it been since I last saw him...?'
Jenni quickly shook that thought out of her head and got dressed. 'I don't need to be thinking about that right now. I cannot let myself be distracted.'
She walked downstairs silently, ate a quick breakfast, and then went outside for a little while. She walked fearlessly into Genkai's forest, ignoring everything around her and focusing on remembering just where that one place was...
After about half an hour, she came to a small lake with a waterfall. This was the place that she always used to go to when she woke up in the morning, or just wanted to calm down.
She sat down on a small boulder near the waters edge and started to meditate. She felt a presence behind her and knew it was Genkai.
"Yes, sensei?" Jenni asked, not even opening her eyes.
Genkai smirked, though Jenni couldn't see it. "I see your skills have improved over the last two years. I didn't think you'd slack off."
Jenni grinned and faced her teacher. She looked at Genkai and found Genkai smiling a little bit. (GASP! It's a miracle!!) Jenni got down and looked at her sensei. "Is something wrong, Genkai?"
"No, nothing." Genkai looked at Jenni and could tell that Jenni didn't believe her. "You never told me that you were half angel, Kit. Why not?"
"Because.... Because I was scared. I didn't know how you would react and I didn't want to know. I guess I was just running away from reality. In the end, that's what it all came down to," Jenni said softly, smiling a little bit. "But, in the end, you found out anyway. I guess I was just being a fool."
"No, you were trying to survive," Genkai said harshly. "You are not a fool. If you were, you would be dead."
Jenni smiled, knowing this was Genkai's way of making her feel better. "Feel up to a little challenge, Genkai?"
Genkai merely smirked and nodded.
About 5 hours later would have found the two walking into the temple, bruised and with cuts. They walked over to the kitchen and Jenni made some tea for them.
Sandra walked in and saw Genkai and Jenni sitting at the kitchen sipping tea. She sweatdropped and said, "Where were you this morning, Kit? I couldn't find you!"
"I was outside in the forest training with Genkai," Jenni said simply, smiling slightly at Sandra.
"I thought you said you finished her training??" Sandra said, getting confused.
"Actually, you can only SAY that. I'm never actually DONE, just really far in her training right now. And I can still spar with Genkai whenever we want to. And she can try and attack me when I least expect it, which I'm almost sure she's gonna do sometime, and then we're probably gonna spar again. Easy as that!" Jenni said, grinning.
"Ok, I'm not gonna ask anymore, Kit. So just shut up now," Sandra said. Jenni laughed and nodded, going back to her tea.
(that evening)
Everyone was over at Genkai's temple for dinner. Jenni had finished and cleaned off her plate. Right then, she was sitting outside on the steps of the temple, looking around.
Just then, something flew at Jenni. She ducked to the side and her left shoulder was scraped, but it was a light wound.
She looked around, keeping her guard up and she saw someone walking out of the forest. It was a woman.
The woman had black hair to her waist with red bangs, two red fox ears, a red fox tail, and sea-blue eyes. She took out a katana and advanced on Jenni. Jenni quickly stood up and took out her own katana.
"Who are you? What are you doing here??" Jenni asked, the two circling each other.
"My name is Rana, and I've come here... to KILL YOU!" with that said, the woman, now known as Rana, launched herself at Jenni. Jenni blocked her attacks and shoved Rana backwards.
Rana quickly regained her balance and kept attacking Jenni, dodging around and trying to hit her from different angles.
Jenni, becoming really ticked off, stayed completely still, sheathing her katana. She glared at Rana, and, when Rana appeared right in front of her, she fired a Spirit Gun and hit Rana in the chest. Rana fell down the stairs and lay in a heap at the bottom of the stairs for a few moments before getting up, glaring at Jenni, and disappearing. Her voice, however, echoed in Jenni's head.
'I will get you soon. I will kill you and your friends, then take Yusuke and the other one for myself...' Rana's voice said with an evil laugh.
Jenni growled and punched a nearby tree. She knew what Rana had meant and she didn't find it very likely that HE would be beaten or seduced by her. Especially not seduced.
Jenni snorted at the thought and let her thoughts drift to Kelell. 'I wonder how he's doing. I haven't seen him in so long....'
She cut her thoughts off there, not wanting to think about him. She sighed and went back inside, ignoring Sandra asking what happened and Kurama asking the same thing, saying that they heard a commotion outside.
Jenni walked into her room and picked up a picture and looked at it with a sad smile on her face. The man in the picture was about 6 feet tall with long brown/black hair and hazel eyes. He was wearing carpenter-cut blue jeans, a light blue shirt, vest, and thick leather gloves.
Jenni smiled and sniffed. 'I miss you so much, nii-chan.... (an affectionate term for older brother) So much...' Jenni thought to herself, sniffing again.
Then, Jenni changed into some night clothes and went to bed early that night. When Sandra knocked on the wall later that night, Jenni was already fast asleep.
In the morning, Jenni woke up and went outside to stretch a bit, in normal clothes. Just then, she thought she felt her brother's energy for a moment, then it faded. Jenni shook her head and looked over where she felt the energy. There, walking towards her, was the man from the picture.
Jenni's eyes widened and she sprinted towards him, tackle-hugging him and yelling, "NII-CHAN!!! YOU'RE BACK!!!"
Kelell fell against a tree with the air knocked out of him. His head hit the tree hard and he rubbed the back of his head, muttering curses about hard wood. Jenni giggled and got off him, looking over at the temple where just about everyone was staring at her.
Just then, Kelell spoke. "Jenni? Jennifer, is that you?" He hugged the girl tightly. "I was looking for you for so long!"
Jenni turned around and hugged him back, whispering, "I missed you so much, nii-chan..."
"Imoto... (means younger sister)" Kelell whispered, holding Jenni tight and kissing the top of her head.
Yusuke came outside and coughed slightly. The two parted. Yusuke looked at Jenni in a way that said, "Explain."
Jenni took a deep breath. "Well, here goes nothing," She muttered to herself. "Everyone, meet my older brother, Kelell. Kelell, I'd like you to meet my friends, Neko, Genkai, the lady that trained me, Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama. The four guys are the Reikai Tantei."
Sandra stared at Jenni. "YOU NEVER TOLD ME YOU HAD AN OLDER BROTHER!!!" she yelled, glaring at Jenni. Jenni "eep!"ed and hid behind her brother.
"So what if she does??" Kelell asked, getting into a defensive stance.
Neko's face: O.O "EEP!" she said, hiding behind Kurama, who smiled and chuckled lightly.
Jenni peeked out from behind her brother to find Neko nowhere in sight, Yusuke and Kuwabara rolling on the floor laughing, Hiei sitting in a tree, and Kurama smiling. Genkai had snorted, gave Kelell an approving glance, then gone back inside to tell Yukina. Jenni sighed and rolled her eyes at Yusuke and Kuwabara.
Kelell whistled softly and an eagle-like animal landed on his left shoulder, and a wolf/dog was standing next to him, on the opposite side of the hawk. The wolf/dog had black and brown fur and he had white paws, tail, and underside. The hawk looked like a bald eagle for the most part except for little tufts of feathers on his head that looked like horns.
Jenni looked at them curiously and looked up at her window. Kori jumped out the window and ran over to stand on Jenni's right side, her tails swishing and Ryu landed on Jenni's shoulder.
"This is Avalanche," Kelell said, motioning to the wolf/dog, "and this is Hurricane." The eagle looked at Jenni.
Jenni grinned. "This is Ryu," she said, and the little dragon gave a little chirp at hearing his name, looking at Kelell with his head tilted to one side, "and this is Kori." Kori's tails swished again and she sat regally.
Hurricane looked Jenni over before nodding his approval. Avalanche circled Jenni once, then licked her hand. Kori looked over at Kelell and sniffed his hand before nuzzling it slightly. Ryu flew over to a tree above Kelell and looked at him a few times. He then gave another small chirp and landed on Jenni's shoulder again.
Yusuke looked back and forth between the two of them repeatedly and he looked lost. "Whoa whoa whoa!! Hold on a second!! Jenni, since when did you have a brother?!" Yusuke asked, looking at her.
"Since I was born," Jenni replied, looking over at him. Ryu gave another small chirp and he flapped his wings once or twice, looking up at Hiei. "Oh, yeah. You might wanna watch out for Hiei. He has a nasty temper and he knows how to use his sword, I can tell ya that!!" Jenni said with a small chuckle.
Kelell glared at Hiei. "I don't think that he would be a problem..."
"Kelell!" Jenni said, giving him a playful glare. "No fighting him. Two reasons: 1) I don't want you to hurt him too much, and 2) I would get in trouble.... AGAIN!!" Jenni said, grinning.
Kelell merely "hn"ed and walked over to the temple. Jenni followed him and Ryu flew up to Jenni's room again. Kori followed her, acting slightly protective of her. Jenni rolled her eyes. "Honestly..." she muttered.
Jenni showed Kelell to his room, which was on the other side of hers. They had a door connecting the room and a small room in between. Avalanche and Hurricane settled into Kelell's room while he went on a tour of the temple with Jenni.
The others had gone back inside and Sandra had gone straight to her room, while Kurama, Yusuke, and Kuwabara had some breakfast. Jenni skipped breakfast and let Kelell settle in a little bit before knocking on his door.
Kelell grunted from the other side of the door and Jenni opened it, walked inside, and watched him place swords, guns, and other weapons on the walls. Avalanche was sitting on a rug on the floor and there was a tree stump and branch that Hurricane was perched on. She placed something on the bed and walked back into her room silently, looking at Kori, who was curled up on the bed.
Kelell looked over at the bed and found one of his sister's tear gems on a necklace. It was a simple necklace with a leather band that went through the gem. He picked up the necklace and put it on, fingering the gem for a moment before walking out of his room and downstairs.
He walked into the living room and looked at the boys. "Who's a good spar?" He asked with a faint grin on his face.
Yusuke grinned and stood up.
"Now this I GOTTA see!!" Kuwabara said as he walked outside after the two. Kurama also walked outside.
From her room, Jenni looked out the window and saw her brother and Yusuke looking like they were going to spar. "Oh, hell!" Jenni muttered. "I can't leave those two alone for ten minutes!!" She ran downstairs, grabbing Neko from her room and grabbing her favorite scythe before she walked out the door.
She walked over to watch the two boys, her hand on the hilt of her scythe. Kelell got into a fighting stance and Yusuke grinned, looking like he was gonna have some fun.
Sandra looked at the boys, then at Jenni, then back at the boys. "What the hell??" she asked, looking at Jenni.
"Look, my older brother has been fighting for a long, long time, and he fights to relax and he runs for fun... why, I have no idea, but still.." Jenni trailed off.
"This is gonna be interesting," Sandra said, sitting down to watch the show. Kuro landed on her shoulder, looking at Kelell, and Raiu jumped on her lap. Jenni sighed and shook her head.
Kelell waited for Yusuke to attack first, and he did. Yusuke threw a punch at Kelell, who dodged to the side and tried to hit Yusuke back. Yusuke caught the punch in one hand while the other rammed into Kelell's side.
Kelell flinched slightly and kicked Yusuke, who backed up a bit. Yusuke grinned.
"What do you say to bringing this battle up a little bit? We can use anything we want to, just no fatal wounds can be inflicted. Sound good to you?" Yusuke asked, grinning like a man with a death wish.
Kelell grinned evilly and nodded. Jenni saw his look and groaned. 'He's gonna use the guns, I know it!' She thought to herself.
Yusuke lunged at Kelell again and Kelell took out a sword at the last moment and slashed at Yusuke. Yusuke got a little cut on his left cheek and then he whacked Kelell over the head.
Kelell continued to attack him with his sword, and Jenni sighed, knowing that this could get ugly fast. Her hand gripped the hilt of her scythe, just in case.
After a few minutes, Kelell pulled out a gun and fired at Yusuke, who was scraped across the cheek and he fired his Spirit Gun at Kelell, who's arm got burned.
'Ok, enough is enough!' Jenni thought, running between the two of them. "KELELL! YUSUKE! STOP FIGHT RIGHT NOW OR I WILL HAVE TO HURT YOU!" she yelled, getting her scythe in a ready position.
Yusuke stopped dead, his eyes on the scythe that Jenni held and Kelell also stopped, looking at his sister.
"Good. Now that you've stopped, take a look at yourselves," Jenni said, letting her arm fall to her side.
They both looked down at themselves and Yusuke sweatdropped. They both had numerous cuts and bruises.
"Both of you get inside and I'll help you guys wrap those," Jenni said, sighing slightly. Yusuke trudged inside and Kelell sent a small glare Jenni's direction, then went inside.
"Man.... This is not gonna be good..." Jenni said to herself. "My older brother that I haven't seen for years has just come back, he and Yusuke have a little score to settle, and I'm never gonna get two minutes peace with him around! Great. Just great," Jenni said, sitting down under a tree and sighing, her shoulders slumping. "My life has never exactly been a joy ride, but this is gonna be the worst part."
