Sorry Spyrogue, I didn't mean that Yahiko had staff; I was talking
about that wooden stick thing he's always carrying around. Now, who wants
to hear more about Sora's story? Ok but first I ought to let you know that
this chapter is going to be very science fictiony. Don't worry though
because it's still going to be good! Sora has had several interesting and
devastating things happen to her over the years, but you're only going to
hear about some of them today, the rest will be revealed all in good time!
The important thing though is that we see more into why Sora is the way she
is, and find out that as of now she isn't as strong as she may seem.
Chapter 8,
Wanted, Dead or Alive!
(Incarceration!)
Sora had a painfully exasperated look on her face as she sat down by the fire- place and fanned it back to life. The raptors, or as she preferred to call them Shrikan's, curled up on the floor around her, Keela leapt onto the couch beside Sora, and Whiplash who had gone unnoticed in the thick of the action slithered down into Sora's lap. Everyone was quite reluctant to join her, due to the fact that deadly, aggressive animals currently surrounded her, but eventually sat nervously on the couch opposite her. Hiei however chose to perch attentively in the tree.
Yusuke: So what the heck is all of this about!?!
Sora: Uhh, it's so hard to explain, ok, no offense but I don't think that we are anywhere close when it comes to IQ levels. My family, since the dawn of time, has been into science. Every generation so far has come up with something new to add on to the knowledge of my bloodline. My parents were into genetics and were on the verge of a break through before. they had to.discontinue their work. Since then I've taken up the trade and have mastered it! I created these Shrikan's, I've learned to decode, manipulate, and rearrange DNA. My dog is the same way; using bits and pieces of genetic material have put them all together. I consider them as part of my family, I look out for them and they look out for me. The largest one is Phantom, his mate is Whiteflame, their eldest son is Ripfang, then Razor, and their daughter is Rose.
Hiei: (Giving Kurama a suspicious look) You realize that this kind of work isn't legal, in your world or ours.
Kurama: Yes, as a matter of fact, we have a few questions for you. Did you know that there is supposedly a woman on the loose that is wanted in both worlds for the misuse of dimensional portals, among other things?
Sora: Before you go on, I am the person that you're looking for, but please don't do this.
Kuwabara: Whoa, you mean you're like one of those mad scientist people!
Sora: No! Didn't we move past that subject like 10minutes ago?
Kenshin: So you're a criminal?
Sora: No! NO, NO, NO, NO!!! God! I knew you guys would react like this. I'm no criminal, and I'm not going with you back to spirit world.
Botan: So you've been there before?
Sora: Yes, but.
Yusuke: Forget it, tell it to Koenma when you see him. Oh and Kenshin, you guys had better come with us, just to help us file the report and all.
Sora: I said that I wasn't going back!
Hiei: You are going back one way or another, because you're wanted dead or alive, and if we have to drag your carcass back to Koenma then so be it!
Sora: But.
Whiteflame: Marcaja sokasa lakeeta dreapo, feertig noesim groopand! Hehehe. (Now dear, go with them, they may be able to help you gain some information about Coronsoe!)
Sora: Ohhhhh yes.I apologize for my stubbornness, give me two days to pack, and then we shall leave.
Hiei: (whispering to Sano) Watch her like a hawk!
Sano: (whispering back) No problem there!
After that was straightened out they took down the barricades upstairs and many of them went back to bed. Sora however was busily trying to get everything ready for her departure. She left the horses out in the pasture with the barn doors open so that they could get food, water, and shelter. She also cleaned most of the house and let Whiplash roam free outside. Keela however would be going with them, so would the Shrikans, but that dosen't mean that everyone else had to know. Sora took them while no one was watching her, amazingly enough and sent them through a secret portal unnoticed so that they could join up with her later on. On the second day however, she began packing her suitcase, which was quite large if I may say so myself. But clothing wasn't all that she had packed; there were several secret compartments that were disguised so that even under an x-ray they looked like just normal parts of the suitcase. In these she put the same two guns, a new whip, a few small daggers, ammo, a beautiful double-edged sword, and a glaive. This weapon was a 12foot long metal staff with a 2foot long curved blade on either side. To fit this in her suitcase she had to disassemble it. Convinced that she had packed everything she would need she prepared to leave. Sora was dressed in flare jeans, brown leather boots, and a white tank top that stopped just below her breasts and exposed her midriff. The dangerous tattoo seemed to look back at everyone whenever Sora turned her back on them!
Sora: Ok, if we're doing to reach the portal then we have to use the horses to get there.
Kenshin: Where do we need to go?
Sora: Actually, this may be difficult with all of us together, because it's close to town, and I have no way of disguising the portal. She pulled out a map, and pointed to a small blue dot on it.
Kaoru: Oh, no!
It was directly on top of the house where (I don't remember their names) the grandfather and the two little girls lived that usually hung around Kaoru's dojo!
Sano: This is twisted, wrong, and couldn't possibly get any more complicated!
Sora: Ha! I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this is only the start of our troubles! None of you have quite gotten how to ride those horses, and our road shall be long and hard. Let's just figure it out as we go, and get started, ok?
Yusuke: Whatever, let's just go already.
Sora: Ok, let's go get the horses.
They went outside and Sora rubbed the horses down. Her and Kenshin's horses stood above the rest at 10foot4 and were eager to meet Sora by the patio.
Sora: All right, I believe they're all here. Now just to warn you, these horses are ride- able, but aren't broken, so you'll have to ride them bareback. Coincidentally you girls seem to have all chosen mares and you boys have all chosen stallions. I should warn you though that if they sense any doubt in you they'll give you a hard time. So let's see how you do, go ahead and mount up.
Hiei of course had to run and leap in order to mount his stallion because of its height, but he soon learned that horses don't like being sneaked up on and was thrown head first onto the patio.
Sora: (chuckling and shaking her head) Well, that's one thing you now know not to do anymore am I right Hiei?
Hiei: Leave me alone!
Sora: The proper way to mount them is like so.
She went over to her mare, whose name was Nayomee, and twined her fingers in Nayomee's mane. After securing her grip she swung up onto the horses back and held her hands over her head.
Sora: Ta daaaa, now I'd like to see all of you try.
Yusuke: Ok, buddy, just don't bite me and I think we'll get along just fine.
Yusuke's horse: * Oh I won't bite you, but I will take you for the ride of you're life! *
As Yusuke mounted his horse, it jolted forward knocking Yusuke back. He grabbed a hold of his horses tail and held on for dear life.
Sora: (shouting) He's only testing you! Just climb back on and show him who's boss!
Yusuke: Can't.getting pummeled.to death!
Amazingly enough he climbed back up and hauled on the horse's mane, and it reared to a stop so fast that Yusuke almost flew off again! The girls did rather well because the mares were much more docile than the stallions, but they still got a few nips and snorts of displeasure whenever they did something the horses didn't particularly like. The boys even had a relatively easy time after that, it was when it came to be Kenshin's and Sano's turn to mount up that more problems arose.
Sora: Now Sano, your horse is Kenshin's horse's brother, and doesn't like to be mounted unless his brother is first so wait for Kenshin. However, (she looked at Kenshin) you may have mastered the sword, but this horse will be quite a challenge even for you, he's the leader. He doesn't even let me ride him unless he feels like it. His name is Lightning, and there never was a more spirited horse than him. Since you're a guy, he'll give you an even harder time because he doesn't like being controlled, especially by a rival male.
Kenshin: You sure do know how to lay the pressure on people that you do!
He reached out to pet the stallion and it looked at Sora as if she had shot him.
Lightning: * This scrawny little thing is going to ride me? I'd rather eat dirt! *
Kenshin reached out and twined his hands in Lightning's mane, Lightning jerked around and just barely missed Kenshin with a chomp that would've taken his arm off!
Kenshin: Naughty, naughty, don't worry I won't hurt you.
He tried again, Lightning didn't move, and he swung his leg up, Lightning bucked and Kenshin flew an even farther distance than Hiei had. Kaoru screamed and Lightning ran after Kenshin. Thundering towards him, an unstoppable hurricane of muscle, leaving 5inch deep hoof prints in the ground behind him! Kenshin leapt up and just as Lightning reached him Kenshin threw his arms around the horses head and clung for dear life. Tossing and stomping the animal tried to rid itself of the annoyance. It was when Lightning turned and charged head on and crushed Kenshin against an oak tree at about 30mile per hour that Sora fired her gun. The shot rang out and Lightning instantly froze and looked at Sora, Kenshin still limply clinging to his ears.
Sora: That is enough!
Lightning: * My god it's still on me! I have to give him credit, he is without doubt the most determined person I know next to Sora! *
Kenshin began to come around, and just as Kaoru had reached him he hauled himself up and looked into Lightning's eyes.
Kenshin: Miss Kaoru I must ask you to please remain where you are.
Then Lightning kneeled as if offering Kenshin a ride. Kenshin painfully climbed up and Sora looked on in amazement. Lightning brought Kenshin over and whispered to Sora so that no one else could hear.
Lightning: He is without doubt the scrawniest man I have ever seen, but his courage is that of a titan!
They had decided not to leave that day on account of the fact that the rest weren't done packing, it was already late in the day, and many of them had aces and pains to tend to. Hiei had popped his shoulder out of its socket and needed to rest it for a while, Yusuke was covered in bruises and lacerations, many of them held poultices on bitten fingers etc., but it was Kenshin who had slightly cracked one of his ribs. It was around 11:00 at night and many of them were heading off to bed.
Sora: I'm surprised you didn't break your back on that tree today Kenshin.
Sano: (heading upstairs with Botan) Here, let me help you, man your horse really bit you good didn't she?
Botan had a bruise just below her knee the size of a grapefruit, and she was limping pretty badly. She gladly accepted Sano's arm, and leaned heavily on him, the pain from her bruise was the only thing keeping her awake now. They reached the top floor, and Sora and Kenshin listened anxiously, trying to catch bits of what they were saying.
Botan: I'm sorry for beating you the other day with my oar.
Sano: That's ok whoa! Watch out there!
Botan had slipped on the last step and Sano pulled her up before she fell over backwards. He had pulled her forward and now for a brief moment held her against him, her head against his chest she was breathing hard from the sudden adrenaline that had shot through her body. He scooped her up in his arms and carried her the rest of the way into her room and laid her gently on her bed. She was already asleep. Sano watched her for a moment, and then turned out the light and left for his own room.
Awwwwww, isn't that cute! I love writing romance scenes!!! Read and give me long, long reviews, and you're not getting any more chapters until you do. The Christmas episode of my story is coming up! It's going to be awesome, it has nothing to do with Christmas, but you get what I mean. It's going to be the huge episode before Christmas, a rather large gift for you all over the holidays!
