Sarasaki High's Gaffe
Chapter Six - Festival
"Promenade your partner! Promenade you partner cause she's a shining star. Promenade you partner-" The country singing man said tapping his feet and playing his guitar.
The group of teens had been hopping around in a paired off group of four couples circled. Botan, Masqoshki; Kurama, Mercedes; Yusuke, Keiko; Kuwabara, Yukina.
Botan and Masqoshki attached arms together as everybody else did also and walked around in a circle. Then they began to swing around and change partners as Botan caught Kurama's elbow and went back to Masqoshki. Keiko had left Yusuke and went to Masqoshki. Yukina had left Kuwabara and went to Yusuke.
After a long time of fun and hopping around to Square dancing festival songs, they decided, we need some songs to cool the night down before the end so played some slow ones.
Automatically, as 'Running' came on, Yusuke and Keiko walked out onto the dance floor. Kuwabara, Masqoshki, Mercedes and Yukina were worn out and sat down watching.
Botan had been wanting to dance more and asked Yusuke but he declined and took Keiko. Masqoshki attempted to dance but was too sloppy from his tiredness. So Botan sat out with them also.
Kurama had been being asked by lots of girls to dance with them but he simply declined like always. Instead, he walked over to Mercedes, why declined to dance anymore.
"I'll dance with you Kurama-kun!" Botan shouted as Kurama turned back to her. He smiled and held out his hand as Botan got all excited and grabbed it.
They walked onto the dance floor a few feet from Keiko and Yusuke and began to dance slowly.
"Run, running out of time. Running to the future, with you right by my side. Me- I'm the one you trust, out of all the people, you wanted me the most. And I'm so sorry that I've fallen, help me up lets keep running. Don't let me fall out of love." Botan sung silently along with the song.
"I'm so glad you wanted to dance. My date is worn out and I really wanna dance all night." Botan said cheerfully.
"Mine too, same as well." Kurama said as he watched not to step on her feet from his practicing. "By the way, you look nice!" He said as she thanked him.
"You do also." Botan said smacking his cheek playfully. The rest of the song was silent as Botan eventually put her head on his shoulder as the song finished. Everybody clapped from the side.
Then all the partners walked off the dance floor as a faster song came on. "I think we'll have a couple more songs because that was just too lovely." The man on stage said as everybody ran over on the dance floor as the 'Electric Slide' came on.
The gang decided to stay out of it and just watch and pick on the people who were doing it. Kurama and Botan went outside for a break.
"So." Kurama said sitting on the side of the school steps as Botan stood next to him. He looked up to her, "You having fun?" He asked with a smile.
"Hai!" She said enthusiastically with a big grin. "I've never been to a school dance in like a bazillion years!" She giggled as Kurama chuckled.
"Glad to hear I MEAN glad to hear that you're enjoying yourself. How's your life going so far with your family. I mean, I know you miss flying around on your oar don't you?"
"Yeah," she said with a sigh. "I also miss seeing Koenma everyday. Now I just rarely see him on the communication mirror." She said looking up at the sign on the front of the school.
Kurama didn't reply, he just stared at something far off, toward Botan's direction.
"Nani?" Botan said as she thought Kurama was looking at her. He shook his head and kept looking ahead. She turned around to see Hiei walking towards them.
"Hiei." Kurama said as he approached them silently.
"Kurama." Hiei said as he finally came a few feet from them.
"What are you doing here?" Kurama asked surprised of Hiei's sudden appearance. "I thought you didn't like socially places."
"So, who said I couldn't change my ways?" Hiei crossed his arms and sat on the step beside Kurama. "Plus, Shizuru tried to make me play strip poker with her friends." Hiei grunted as the two laughed. "Shut up."
"Hiei," Botan said putting a hand on the poor koorime's shoulder, "Was it that bad?" Botan giggled behind her other hand as Hiei slapped her hand off his shoulder. "I'm just kidding Hiei."
"Hn." He said putting his elbows on his knees as he heard Kurama sigh. Mercedes came out the door laughing with Masqoshki and Saluki.
"Ohayo guys. I'm going with Masqoshki and his friend somewhere." Mercedes said walking passed the group and turned around, "Oh and I'm sorry this date didn't go right Shuichi, see you in school."
Kurama waved as the trio walked off. Speaking of trio, the B-trio were now in sight from afar from the school. Kurama grabbed his hair and heard Botan growl from the back of her throat.
"Oh god, aw man." Hiei said standing up as Kurama and Botan did too. The girls weren't paying attention to who were ahead of them. They then noticed the red head and the short man. (^o^)
"Hello boys." Christine said walking around Kurama seducing him. "I didn't expect you here." She said taking her eye sight from Kurama to Hiei. Hiei took a step back as Kurama watched.
"Aw, poor little BIG and BAD guy scared of little ol' me?" Christine said in a baby voice and turned it back to her unusual dull tone, "How about it girls?" She said as Fallon and Tara snickered.
Botan put her hands on her hips as Christine grabbed Hiei's collar and looked at her to see what she'd do. "Aren't you going to stand up for your little friend?" Christine said puckering her lips.
Kurama took a step as Keiko, from nowhere, caught his elbow. "Kurama-kun, let me handle this." Keiko whispered as she stepped up in their faces again.
"Oh looky here girls, Ms. Keiko Yukimura," Christine looked behind her, "-and her bad-ass wanna-be boyfriend." She said as she shook her head. Yusuke clenched his fist.
"You better watch what you say you ol' whore, I'll-" Keiko hushed him, "Shut it Yusuke!" She said as she held her arm up and kept her eyes on Christine, "Don't ever insult my Yusuke again."
Tara and Fallon rolled their eyes as Christine narrowed hers, "And if I do?" She said with a head snap of a set of rolling eyes.
"And if you do!" Keiko shouted and turned around to whisper, "I'll do something- something like," Keiko snapped around and slapped Christine onto the ground, "-that!!" She shouted as she jumped onto Christine and began stealing her in the face, "Bitch!!!!"
Yusuke hopped up and down, "Kick ass Keiko!" He rooted as Botan joined in. Kurama and Hiei were amused at Keiko's fighting skills.
They soon heard Kuwabara and Yukina questioning them as they saw Keiko fighting Christine. Fallon and Tara ran over to help Christine but Botan stopped them.
"Move it!" Fallon shouted as Botan didn't move. She slapped her and Botan grabbed her by her hair and slung her onto the ground as Tara was stopped by Yukina. Tara was just about to slap her when,
"Don't you dare put a hand on my pudding snaps!" Kuwabara shouted as he grabbed Tara's wrist. Yukina smiled a small smile as Hiei pulled her out of the way.
Tara growled at him and took out her fangs, "Curse you." She said as she took a few steps back from him. Botan and Keiko were still fighting as they all saw the chaperones come outside.
"Chaperones!!!" shouted a boy from the circle of the fight. Keiko got off a badly beaten Christine and grabbed Botan off Fallon as they ran as fast as they could.
Yusuke watched them run and laughed at how fast they were running. Kuwabara took Yukina with him away from the fighting scene. Hiei and Kurama silently walked away as the teacher rushed over.
"Christine! Fallon! Ms. Tara!" The middle aged lady shrieked as the other students ran out of sight. Fallon and Tara helped up Christine, whose nose was bleeding and had a blue ring around her eye.
"What happened!" She asked as she put her hand softly onto Christine's bruised cheek as she moaned and slapped her hand away. The teacher watched as her wounds cleared off her face visibly.
The teacher began to stutter, "What the- what are you girls? What's wrong?" She said as she stumbled backwards and landed on her fragile behind with a yelp. "Girls!" She screamed.
The three walked closer and closer with glares on their faces. The teacher watched as the three's faces got wrinkly under the eye as a demon's and their fangs became long. (like Shishi) "Help!"
The three grabbed the teacher as she tried to cry out aloud for help but they drug her behind the school building. Kurama and Hiei had been watching from above.
"What do you think they are?" Kurama asked Hiei.
Hiei turned to him, "Well duh. Obviously they're vampires. Didn't you see their fangs and the way they looked at the lady as if she was lunch?" Hiei asked as Kurama hummed, thinking.
"I knew something was wrong with them." Kurama heard somebody from behind say. They turned to see Yusuke walking over to them. "Yeah, I saw. Vampires alright." He said.
"I wonder what they'd want with the ningen kids?" Kurama said aloud as he watched to see nobody in sight anymore but Yusuke and Hiei.
"Blood!" Yusuke shouted.
"Of course." Kurama said closing his eyes with his arms folded, "But they could get blood from any thing living right?"
Hiei and Yusuke kept quiet as they began to think to themselves. Then they all heard the door to the roof top shut as they jumped around to see what it was.
"Well, well, well. Looks like you found out our little secret." Christine said licking her fingers clean from the sticky red substance that was on it. "Mmm." She said as she smiled, revealing bloody teeth.
The three's eyes widened as they saw the other two holding half a body in their hands and eating it. Christine made her fangs go away and cleaned the blood off her face.
"So, now that you know. You must become." She said walking over to them as they stood in fighting position. "Oh no, no boys. We're not fighting, we're offering you a favor."
"What kind of favor is biting our necks to make us become freaks?" Yusuke asked as Christine laughed fake and evilly.
"You're already freaks, what's to worry about?" Christine shot at them as they all mumbled something under their breaths.
"Did you all say anything?" She asked while they kept their silent act. "What's wrong with you people? You don't have a tongue?" Nobody replied, "If no reply, you die." She said as they still didn't say anything. "Fine."
Christine screamed a strong and loud scream as the wind began to blow hard. Her beautiful image became a now very ugly demon-like vampire with pale skin and long fangs. Her hair became pure black and her eyes red.
The other two behind her joined in the screaming as the wind got stronger. The three of the boys put their weight onto the ground as they felt their selves tilting over the edge.
Soon they were disturbed by a door close. Kuwabara was standing there with his hands clutched and ready to fight. The three girls had finished their transformation and snapped at Kuwabara. "Ew" he thought.
"Kuwabara look out!" Yusuke shouted over to Kuwabara. He simply dodged it by diving over towards the group. The three girls splat up. Fallon went for Yusuke, Tara went for Kuwabara, and Christine went for Kurama and Hiei.
Christine watched her back from left to right as she tried keeping Hiei and Kurama's different paces at the same time. She could handle Kurama but with Hiei she couldn't concentrate.
Fallon and Yusuke were almost equally met except the fact Yusuke was like a mile more trained than she was. Kuwabara and Tara were perfectly matched against each other. Tara had more advantage though.
"Christine!" Yusuke called while fighting Fallon to distract Christine. Hiei kicked her in the back of the head as she went flying to the doors to the roof top steps, bashing her head in first.
Christine's head was now bleeding. She got up and growled in her deepest and most raspy voice. She charged towards Kurama as Hiei came from behind her, making her change her plans.
'I'll just ignore the distraction.' She thought as she dodges Hiei's side attacks and ran for Kurama who were whipping his whip out. He slung it but it done no damage. Her body was like steel to the whip.
"How-!?!" Kurama shouted as Christine finally got to him with a blow to his cheek. They fell to the ground as Christine pinned him down and went for his neck. Her fangs went into his skin about a centimeter before Hiei came over and slashed her with his katana.
Christine screamed out in pain as she felt her body being slashed in half diagonally. Tara had gotten Kuwabara down and had bitten him, so she ran over to help her by attacking Hiei.
Yusuke finished off Fallon and ran over to Kuwabara to see if he was alright, which he wasn't. While Hiei took care and finished off Tara, Kurama had tossed the half slashed body off of him weakly.
Hiei fell to his knees tiredly panting hard. Yusuke shouted something over to the others as the two ran over to see what was wrong. Kuwabara was motionless.
"Is he breathing?" Kurama asked in between his breathing. Yusuke put his ear to Kuwabara's mouth and heard felt his breath. "Yeah." Yusuke said relieved.
[A/n: Anata wo Dakishimeru Watashi de plays]
"Kuwabara." They all heard somebody from behind say as they watched the girl run over and get on her knees. "Kuwabara-chan?" Yukina said as she grabbed his hand. "Please say something." She begged.
"Don't worry Yukina, he's alive." Hiei said putting his hand on her shoulder. Yukina looked up to Hiei and hugged him, "Are you sure?" She asked as Hiei looked at Kurama, who nodded.
Yukina examined them all, "You all are hurt, let me heal you." She said as she took Hiei's hands and used her vivacity to heal his wounds. Hiei felt the refreshing herbal feeling as energy ran through him.
"Arigatou Yukina." Hiei said in his head to Yukina as she nodded small nod and grabbed Kurama's hands quickly healing him as he thanked her aloud. Hiei and Kurama walked away as Yukina grabbed Yusuke's.
"Thank god for Yukina's healing. If she hadn't came, I believe I would have fell out from the venom of the bite." Kurama said rubbing his neck which still had the marks but was neutralized.
"Yukina." Hiei said looking away with a sigh. Yusuke walked over to leave Yukina alone as she got down and grabbed Kuwabara's hands lovingly healing him with all she had about left.
As she finished, she fell down weakly into Kuwabara's arms as he rose slowly. "Yukina." He muttered and picked her up as she slept silently, without her energy, in his arms. "I'll take you home." He walked off as he told the gang where he was going.
Hiei and Yusuke helped Kurama down the steps of the school and out of the door. That's where they saw Botan and Keiko standing silently. Yusuke ran over to Keiko who had a few scrapes from the fight.
"Wow you really kicked some ass." Yusuke said as Keiko blushed with a smile. "For your sake." She replied as they took each other's hands and walked home.
Botan smiled as she turned to the two who was silently looking off at something far off as usual. Kurama heard footsteps walking as he looked to se Botan walking lonely away.
Hiei elbowed him and took off. Kurama waved to Hiei as he walked quickly to catch up with Botan. "Hey, are you alright?" He asked as he looked her face over.
"Yeap." She gave him a small smile. He looked to see a small scratch on her cheek and put his hand on it as she snapped. "Gomen."
He said as he smiled at her for a second. They lost their smiles staring at each other for awhile silently. As their noses touched, Botan turned her head away.
Kurama looked confusedly at her as she blinked away. He understood, 'Guess she has somebody else.' He thought to himself with a sigh. Then he wrapped an arm around her shoulder.
"Thanks Kurama-kun for walking me home!" She chirped, breaking her silent mood and starting up a chat, "So what happened?" She asked as they disappeared out of sight.
