Tuathafaerie: To my one reviewer, THANK YOU!!! I also love fight scenes. They're really great, aren't they? I really love the RPG fighting games like Samurai Warriors and I think Onimusha might be like that game too. I had really forgotten I used Sueng Mina's name. And yes, I got that from Soul Caliber. I might be using more names from there. Well, anyway, I hope you like this chapter.

Last time
"You should know you. You are a mind reader. We're going to Teken." I said, smirking.
"I was afraid of that." I heard Alethia mutter, but took no notice.
She just doesn't want me to go because I'll just cause turmoil, why else.
...Well...I think that's the reason, I thought as I looked down at Alethia.
I snapped my attention away from my daemon once the portal came into view.
"I hope Raven and Ryu won't destroy the dojo." I muttered as I walked into the black-silver portal, leading me strait toward my possibly soon-to-be pupil.
4-Soul
Chapter 6: Oh, crap
Boton POV
Koto was whistling as we walked down the series of hallways, for what seemed like forever.
I wonder when we're going to get there.
"Koto, are we there yet?" I asked, more like whined.
"We're almost there." She said waving her hand over her shoulder.
"That's what you said pause to check time: 3:30 30 minutes ago." I sighed.
"Well this time I mean it." Koto said as she took a right.
"I highly doubt that." I heard Alethio mutter. He was a dark gold Cobra with white eyes, and was curled around my shoulders and neck.
"Agree with you 100 there, buddy." I muttered outta the side my mouth, thankfully Koto didn't hear it.
How could she not, with those cat ears and all, I thought with a raised eyebrow.
To keep myself form dying of boredom, I looked out the windows and at the rooms, which had their doors open.
There is nothing interesting 'round here!!!!
WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPP-Hey? Didn't I see that light green and dark purple room before.
WE'RE GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES!!!
"KOTO!" I shouted, waking up Alethio who was dozing on my shoulders and scaring Koto so bad she came close to a heart attack.
"Wha!" She shouted turning around.
"We're. Going. Around. In. Circles." I growled through clenched teeth.
"No we aren't." Koto said waving away my ridiculous idea, which wasn't really ridiculous to me."Hello? We passed that room with the open door 5 minutes ago!" I shouted. "Alethio! Back me up!"
Silence.
"Alethi- YOU IDIOT! ARE YOU STILL ASLEEP!!!!!!!!" I shouted, seeing Alethio asleep with a snot bubble coming out of his nose
I'm surrounded by idiots, I thought to myself.
"Hurry up, Boton. We don't wanna get lost." Koto called from halfway down the hall.
I sighed again and started dragging my feet behind her.
Meanwhile...Hiei POV
"I love this place." I said as I appeared at the Teken Battlegrounds.
"So do I." I heard Alethia say from above. She was a sea gull, a black sea gull.
I smiled to my self as I hopped onto the battlefield.
"It hasn't been used recently, I wonder why?" I whispered, as I stepped on dried up bones. The smell of blood, long since faded away.
A cold wind blew in from the east, making me shiver slightly.
My head turned sharply to the east, as the wind stopped.
"Hiei? Isn't the wind supposed to blow in from the west?" Alethia asked landing on my shoulder.
My widened eyes grew smaller until they were fully closed, and a smile came to my lips. I turned to face fully east and said, "Things will be changing soon."
Back with BotonBoton POV
I was just about to say we were lost again when a huge wind blew through the hallway. It came from the east, which we had our back to.
As soon as the wind hit us Koto turned around and looked down the hallway with widened eyes.
"The wind is supposed to blow in from the west." She muttered, a smile coming to her open mouth.
I slowly turned around to face ease, as Alethio woke up.
"What's happening?" He asked looking down the hallway with a suspiciously.
As if I was in a trance a few words escaped my lips.
They were, "Things will be changing soon."
Somewhere else...OKAY FINE! Genkai's temple
Kurama POV
Yusuke and Kuwabara were playing on Genkai's PS2 while Keiko and Yukina were talking.
Hmm...I thought Keiko and Yukina would have at least noticed their best friend wasn't here.
I was waiting for Genkai to show up to ask about Boton, as I watched Yusuke and Kuwabara play 2-plyer mode on Samurai warriors with mild interest.
"Che...that game is so easy to beat." I muttered to myself, closing my eyes as I held back a sigh.
My head snapped up as I felt a pulse flow around the ground.
I quickly glanced at Yusuke and Kuwabara to see if they felt the pulse, but they didn't.
Another pulse sounded and a wind from the east came through the open window.
I closed my eyes and laughed a hollow laugh.
"Things will be changing soon, and..." I started.
The last person I would have ever thought of finished what I was about to say.
"It might not be for the best." Yukina muttered staring up at me with those same piercing blood red eyes as her brother.
The same thing went through both of our minds: A mage.
Teken Battlegrounds
Hiei POV
I knew the others must have already felt the wind, so I didn't rush.
Instead I summoned a wind to blow the bones into the darkness, along with some of the leaves of the decaying trees.
The Battleground, like it sensed Mage powers at work, summoned up a fog to surround the ring.
Sometimes I really wonder if the Teken Battlegrounds really does have a mind of its own.
"Come on, Hiei!" Alethia shouted from the break in the fog.
I saw the fuzzy shape of the Teken Dojo, which, I'm ashamed to say, thought was a temple the first time I saw it.
I ran after Alethia keeping an eye out for anything suspicious.
The change of winds could be a bad thing, instead one of good omen.
You see in the East is the natural direction of the Mages as the West is the natural direction of the Ravens. The winds had been blowing from the west for as long as I could remember, and now that the winds had changed I felt a bit more hope of our civilization surviving. But as you never know the Ravens could be luring us Mages into a false since of security.
When we had finally gotten to the dojo, I came to a stop.
"That energy...who is that?" I asked Alethia, who was flying in a circle above me.
"I don't know, but it feels nice and warm." She sighed floating down onto my hand.
It did feel nice, more then nice actually. I closed my eyes and took in the light, refreshing energy.
I sigh escaped me as I let the wonderful energy flow on to me.
Unconsciously I walked slowly up to the entrance of the dojo; my eyes still closed.
I have to find out who that energy belongs to I thought determined as I reached my hand out to open the door.
Whoever it is, is in the Dragon Girls' hall.
I was really determined and as Alethia will tell you, when I determined nothing can stop me...
BAM!!!
Well except a door in the face.
I laughed weirdly as I fell to the ground with swirly eyes.
"That just broke the suspense I worked so hard to create!" I shouted from my spot on the ground. "All right! Who's the wise guy?" I asked sitting up and rubbing my head.
"Guy?" A female said accusingly.
Suddenly pair of light green eyes filled my vision, mad light green eyes.
"Girl?" I said nervously, wincing a bit from the girls acid-like eyes.
She glared at me once more before pulling away.
I breathed a sigh of relief as I stood up.
"Hiya, Suki." I said dusting myself off.
The girl had light blue waist-length hair with streaks of light green and dark purple. The tips of her bangs were also that color. She was wearing a dark purple and light green shirt with blue jeans. The jeans were faded and had holes by the knees.
"Hi, Hiei. Long time no see, huh?" She asked, her eyes losing all traces of anger.
"Yeah, it's been a while." I said rubbing the back of my head. "I'm telling you, Gem is a slave driver."
"So we've heard." Suki's daemon, Sake, (pronounced: Sah-K) said flying past me and coming to rest on Alethia's head. He was dark-colored robin with the same acid eyes as his mistress.
"So why are ya here, going to destroy the Teken Battlegrounds again." Suki asked with hope-filled eyes.
"If we do, you and Sake aren't helping." Alethia said, shaking her head to knock the robin off.
She finally succeeded to and once Sake had stopped rolling both Suki and him muttered, "Evil."
"Yes, I am, aren't I." I said grinning as Alethia and I walked past.
Once we were half-way down the hall-way Suki cried, "JACK-ASS!!!!"
"Love ya' too." I shouted waving my hand over my shoulder.
I could just picture Suki fuming right now.
After I turned the corner I became serious again and my grin was replaced by a frown.
"Now to find out who that was." I said to myself, thinking over the aura. "She was an Elemental Mage, but I know she wasn't a Darkness Mage or a Fire Mage. May be Earth?" I asked Alethia.
"No, she didn't feel like Earth. I think it was Wind, Water, or...Li-ight." Alethia said in a singsong tone.
A light blush sprang up to my cheeks as I thought back to what happened when I thought of Boton.
I looked up to the ceiling in thought, but then shook my head saying, "No, no, no, no, no. Bad images. Bad images."
"Hiei." Alethia sighed, "Stop being so childish."
"If I'm childish so are you." I said grinning as I walked over to the Dragon Girls' Hallway.
"True." She admitted as she followed.
Once we came to a four-way intersection I stopped and looked both ways and sure enough there was a dust cloud forming in the distance.
"MAYANAKU!!!! YOU PERVERT! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!!" I heard a girl shout, followed by a lot of laughing.
I saw a flash of black and white before the 2 sped down the hall.
"Mayanaku's dead." I said, shaking my head.
"Yep." Alethia answered, "...Well...let's go."
"Um-hum." I muttered as I started walking yet again.
"KOTO!!!!" I heard a shout from ahead, in the Dragon Girls' hallway.
"Hmm?" Alethia and I both muttered as we looked at each other. We then looked toward the direction the shout came from and then started running toward it.
With the hopelessly lost
Boton POV
"KOTO!!!!" I shouted.
"Y-Yes." She said nervously turning around slowly.
My glare got even more intensive, if that was even possible.
"Admit it." I said, my right eye twitching.
WE HAD BEEN WALKING AROUND IN CIRCLES!! WE'D ALREADY PASSED THE GREEN AND PURPLE ROOM 10 TIMES!!!
"We're lost!" Alethio said, finally awake.
I head a tongue cluck behind me 3 times.
"Huh?" Alethio and I muttered.
"Little Koto lost again." The guy said in a kind of babyish tone. He then started laughing.
"SHUT IT HIMURA!!!" She shouted as I turn around to face him.
He sounded familiar.
I turned around just as he opened his eyes from laughing.
His pools of blood met my light purple orbs and a light blush crept onto both of our cheeks.
"Oh, crap!" We both muttered with widened eyes.
To be continued
