Meilin looked out from between the branches. It had been a close one. She had completely forgotten about Sakura using the Fly. She stopped for a small break, and looked behind her to make sure no body was following her. In the sky she had seen an angelic silhouette, which was obviously Sakura or Yue, but most likely Sakura. Meilin had to dive into the ground, and when she was sure that Sakura was looking the opposite way, she climbed the tree near her.
Sakura must have seen her, the moonlight showed her face looking in the direction that Meilin was going, but then it was filled with confusion. After a few more moments, she soared down, probably to tell Li that she couldn't find her. Meilin breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, they were off her trail. She jumped down from the tree, landing gracefully on her feet. Looking around, she couldn't see anything but small houses here and there, and then, there was that forest…
Was it just her imagination, or were there a group of four teenage boys entering the forest? They looked suspicious, looking around them cautiously to make sure nobody was watching them. Two of the boys wore what looked like high school uniforms, one was wearing a Chinese outfit, and the other one, the smallest, was wearing all black. Remember Mei; curiosity killed the cat… she thought to herself. But then, I'm not any cat. Am I? And with that, she decided to see what they were up to.
She made sure she was at least 15 feet away from them at all times. Walking stealthily and quietly she was sure they wouldn't know she was following them. And anyways, she made sure to stay in the shadows just in case if they were to turn around. The tall red haired one said something, but from where she was staying, she couldn't hear him. The black haired one smiled, and nodded and suddenly stopped. Meilin stopped too, squinting her eyes to see what it was he was grabbing from his side. Then she saw the glint of the blade of his katana. Her eyes opened wide, but remembering her training with Li, she calmed down.
The man in black stared hard into the shadows, and then it seemed, it looked as if he was staring right at her. She knew she couldn't be seen, but still, she crept a little farther into the shadows. She saw him smirk, and then without warning, he just disappeared. Meilin stood there confused, but if he was an expert swordsman, then she knew exactly where he'd pop up next. Smiling, she put her hand right at the tip of the blade that had just appeared on her right side, along with the man in black.
"How did you know?" he asked surprised.
"HEY HIEI! DID YOU SCARE THAT PERSON AWAY YET?" someone yelled.
"So…your name is Hiei huh?" Meilin stepped out of the shadows and into the light. The group of boys stared at her. And then without warning, she jumped up, and kicked to her left. A stunned Hiei fell to the ground. His katana had long been up, and he was going to pin her down. Meilin stood there, smug. The group of boys stood there, shocked, and watched the young girl stretch.
"Hey, how'd you do that?" Kuwabara asked.
"It was rather easy. First off, my best friend is pretty good with a sword himself, and when I knew that you guys knew I was following and saw the blade of the katana, I just followed my instincts. I mean, with the look of this guy, I knew he could kill me, but now that I see the people he's with, I guess he wouldn't."
"And exactly who are you?" Yusuke asked impressed. She reminded him of well…him. Full of confidence and already showing she was able to kick their butts at any time if two of them weren't demons, and the other two didn't know how to tap into their spirit powers.
"My name is Meilin Rae." she said, full of pride.
"And exactly, how old are you?" he asked.
"Twelve."
"TWELVE?! I COULDN'T DO THAT AT THE AGE OF TWELVE! Actually, I still can't…but still…THAT'S AMAZING!" Kuwabara said in amazement.
"A little bit louder dummy, and Olgin will hear us!" Hiei said annoyed. Who does she think she is? She could be Olgin disguised…No human could do that even at the age of twelve… he thought to himself. He was so lost in thought that he didn't even hear Kuwabara's rude comment or Yusuke asking her to come along with them just in case a certain someone needs to be protected.
"By the way Meilin, my name's Yusuke. This is Kurama, and the loud doofus here is Kuwabara. And thanks to my loud mouth, you already know Hiei."
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Kurama said.
"Hey, could you show me how to do what you did sometime? I could really use it on some guys I know." Kuwabara said.
Meilin smiled. "Well Kuwabara, it does take a few years and a lot of patience."
"A LOT OF YEARS?!" Yusuke laughed and Kurama chuckled. Kuwabara just stared at her in amazement and Hiei stood there, glaring at her. As they started to continue, and Meilin followed, Hiei stopped them.
"Isn't she going to go back home?" he asked rather rudely.
"Didn't you hear me ask her to come along?" Yusuke asked surprised.
"Well, she's twelve. I'm sure her parents-"
"Don't worry. My family hates me. They don't care about me. Besides, hunting down this Olgin person, sounds much more fun than leaving to Tokyo." she said with a smile, trying to reassure him.
As she turned around and they all started to set off, Hiei couldn't help but follow behind her. He still didn't trust her, and of course these idiots probably didn't remember a thing about Olgin, well, maybe Kurama was on his guard, but he still wouldn't believe a twelve year old girl could know so much to have been able to dodge his attacks. You'd need to be at least 30 to know the stuff I know…Unless that's all she does is fight… he thought.
