I'm not going to do answers to the reviewers this time. It takes to much time but I might do it next chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own YYH or anything from Philip Pullman's book. The idea to the story belongs to me and so do the characters you don't see in YYH or the Dark Materials (Philip Pullman's books)
Last time
I smiled and hoped I'd have another kiss with her.
4-Soul
Chapter 15: Sophita; Captain of the Bloodwave...Hiei and Boton...
Hiei POVI saw her staring at me blankly and knew she was cussing me out in her mind.
I let a grin escape my lips, causing Boton to glare.
How do I remain so calm?
Well...that's a question for another day.
Now to annoy Boton some more.
I glanced at Sej and saw her playing Samurai Warriors. No matter who much you play that game...it never gets old...
Just like Soul Caliber! Ryu shouted happily in my mind.
II, it's Soul Caliber II, Raven corrected.
Why do they call it II, was there another Soul Caliber before it? Ryu asked.
How the hell am I supposed to know, Raven cried.
I would have listened more, but Sej had to interrupt me.
"Shouldn't you take Boton to have her first Teken match?" Sej asked absent-mindedly.
If she said it absent-mindedly, why can't she act like her mind is absent! I wanted to annoy Boton, not have her fight to an inch from death against a person that she doesn't even know!
I just kissed her and now I want to annoy her, my god! Me'n her have the weirdest relationship on the face of the earth, most likely
"Yeah, yeah! Let's go, Hiei!" Boton said dragging me away.
Halfway down the hall I became bored.
What! I have a short intention span, or whatever you call it.
"Do you even know where you're going?" I asked bored out of my mind.
"Possibly not..." She muttered when she had stopped, "Probably not..." She said turning around to face me with a cool demeanor.
"That's my line." I whined.
And it was I usually said that, along with Sej, I guess I kinda picked it up from her.
"Well...it's mine now." Boton said turning around and smiling at me.
I mumbled under my breath at her as I turned a corner, and walked through the open door to the outside.
"Are we going back to the ring?" Boton asked as we walked on the path toward the dojo entrance.
"Yep...We're gonna have you fight a Shadow-Tamer. He won't kill you, though he will be able to show us how strong you are. Hopefully it the battle won't be done it 5 minutes." I smirked looking back at her.
I turned back around as she started glaring.
We exited the Dojo and a felt Boton's aura tense up behind me. Slowing a fell into step with her and formed an aura barrier around us, warming her up and making her feel safe.
I'm going too soft.
"Thank you Hiei." She said.
"Don't expect me to do this during your battle." I grunted looking away.
She just smiled.
Finally, the ring came into view we the same misty fog surrounding it. The mist had been there for longer then anyone knew. It was said to put there by the six creators of the Worlds, to protect the scared place.
"I see you've finally come." A cold voice growled out.
Standing in the middle of the ring was a young woman, no younger then 20. She had midnight black hair and crystal clear, emotionless eyes. Her skin, like most Dark Attribute Mages was pale. The clothes she wore were sea faring clothes. A ripped, dark tunic and baggy pants. She had many bangles hanging from her wrists and a sash around her waist. Daggers hung from her sash by a Katana. A bright blue bandanna was tied around her head, signifying she was one of the one's that broke the Treaty of Peace.
"Sophita." I nodded donning my emotionless mask.
"Hiei." She replied, "I see you're still sore that I defeated the Kade's in the Battle of Ships." A smirked came up to her lips as she tilted her head and held her arms akimbo.
"That was low and despicable. You-"I started
"Oh...whatever, I don't want a lecture. The Treaty of Peace was begging to be broken. Landers and seafarers will never see eye to eye, so why bother trying. Besides both sides were itching for a fight, Bloodwave was just the one to start the war." She cut me off.
I just glared as she fingered the blade that had wounded Kade.
"I'm not a Lander." I replied coolly glaring at the cocky corsair standing before me.
"No! Well...then why were you on the Landers side! Huh! You betrayed us seafarers! And for what! Stupid Landers." Sophita snickered her shoulders shaking.
"I wasn't on the seafarers side because you had broken the treaty, and that is unforgivable! But, that was in the past. Right now...you have a battle to start." I muttered sadly.
"Right." She nodded smirking, "I'll beat your girlfriend just like the defeat I handed you at Bade's palace."
Boton, who had been looking back and forth between Sophita and I, finally snapped as she heard the insult.
"Hey! You won't beat me!" She cried.
Sophita laughed.
"You! Please! Let's begin!" She answered shrilly as she went into a warrior stance.
Boton jumped onto the ring and just stood there.
Why is she just standing there, Ryu asked.
We'll find out in a moment, Raven replied, She didn't get into Teken for nothin'.
"Teken!" Both girls shouted as the battle began.
...Kurama and Yukina...
Yukina POV"I...think we should go. Genkai did send us to bring Boton." I muttered reluctantly pulling away.
"You're right." Kurama muttered.
I instantly blushed at his voice and turned my head away.
Damn.
I'm acting so...so...SOFT! This is SO not good!
He chuckled at my embarrassment causing me to blush more.
"Oh! Stop that laughing!" I cried as I turned back to him, glaring fiercely.
"Whatever you say." He replied smiling.
My face heated up a bit and I cursed myself.
Kurama opened his mouth to say something when a pulse flew over the ground.
"What the!" We both muttered as another followed it.
Avani and Kun appeared in a Cobra form and wrapped around our shoulders.
"Boton'z in a Teken fight." Kun muttered in my ear.
"Well, let's go see how's she doing." Kurama suggested.
"We'll go up ahead." Avani stated as she turned into a fox and jumped out a window.
"I'll follow." Kun stayed in his cobra form and slithered after her.
I ran toward the exit with Kurama following.
We finally got to the ring and saw my brother watching the fight with narrowed eyes.
Alethia, a snow leopard was sitting right next to him, watching the fight with a fire burning in her eyes. A wolf, which I expected to be Boton's daemon, was fighting a brownish, colored coyote.
Must be the challenger's daemon.
To the side, Avani was perched on Kun's head as a small rook. Kun now was back in his Cuno form, the bird of Ice.
I stopped beside Hiei and looked at him.
His eyes were flashing about, most likely following the swift movements of Boton and her opponent.
Kurama stopped behind Hiei and laid a hand on his shoulder.
"Is it...?" Kurama asked.
"Ya, it's...Sophita." Hiei answered.
"The cap'n of the Bloodwave?" I asked.
Shit!
Not here!
I hope Boton survives this fight.
To be continued...
Cap'n means Captain for any of you that don't know. I actually took time on writing this chapter, so I hope you like it. You know...I just noticed that I say that at the end of chapters all the time. Well I think I do...hmm...OH WELL! Just read and review! PRETTY PLEASE!
