Chapter 12.. YAY!

Dawn rose bright and early on the group of fighters and everyone woke up with cranky words and heavy eyes at having to sleep out side. With the exception of rave, who was so happy she looked as if she had just slept on a cloud. Abbey yawned envying the girl her constant optimism but at the same time, mostly due to morning grouchiness, felt like slapping her to see if the smile would just go away.

"Hey little happy person, do you mind shutting up so those of us not mentally retarded can wake up with out having to listen to your pathetic 'good morning'. There is nothing good about the morning," the girl Yami growled about a foot away from Rave.

"Ok can we not try to kill each other please? I'm sure Win-Poo will do that for us," Ashiko mumbled rubbing the sleep out of her eyes and drinking a cup of coffee that Abbey had made every one.

"Wow aren't you just a positive person?" Asked a guy walking through the trees toward them beside another guy.

Sakura's eyes went wide seeing the guys and her mouth hung open a bit and Abbey couldn't blame her for her reaction. Both guys were incredibly hot with the most charming smiles on their face's that it should be illegal.

"And who are you?" Hiei asked suspiciously, his eyes narrowing as he measured both of them determining whether they were a threat or not.

"My names Brian and this is Gabe," the guy that had spoken said pointing to his friend who had remained quiet. He was a good 6'5 feet tall with light blonde hair and stunning blue eyes, while his friend Gabe, a bit shorter at just 6 feet with dark red hair and green eyes reminding Abbey of Christmas for some odd reason.

"Awesome and may I ask what your doing out here?" Abbey smiled looking at both of them.

"We're here to join the fight," Gabe finally spoke up with a bit of a timid voice.

"Yay, but how did you find us?" Kairi asked confused but blushing a bit as she stood right next to Brian.

"The little dude told us," Laughed Brian winking at her.

"When did you talk to Hiei?" Asked Abbey curiously.

"Er no. I mean Koenma," Brian laughed correcting her.

"Oh haha, that little dude," Abbey laughed a bit embarrassed.

"Yeah you got to be a bit more specific with all these short people around," Sakura laughed patting Kairi's head, which was only 5 inches shorter than hers was.

"So are we going to pack up camp and leave today or just stand here talking until Win-Poo destroys the world?" Yami growled grouchily at them.

"Yeah lets get every thing together and get moving," Abbey called to them walking away from the guys and picked up her own blanket she had brought with her. The group set out of the clearing pretty fast and off towards the coordinates that Koenma had mentioned Win-Poo's castle was located at.

Every now and then some one would come up to Abbey asking if she was sure they could beat Win-Poo and she only told them she hoped so. The time spent that Abbey wasn't walking at the head of the group, she was busy trying to pull Yami and Rave apart because Rave had started singing some random kids song like "99 bottles of beer on the wall," or "The wheels on the bus go round and round," but after the 22nd go around of "I know a song that gets on every bodies nerves," Abbey was about ready to kill Rave herself.

"Are we there yet?" Asked a young girl Abbey didn't know personally but knew from watching her fight, Her name was Shinju Hinu. She was a pretty girl with waist length black hair and green eyes. Her black hair was pulled back into a long pony tail and it seemed to disappear when it reached her baggy black pants but stood out clearly on her white tank top.

"No we aren't there yet. If we were then you would know cause you would see a huge castle with a moat of lava and you would be able to smell," Abbey started but was caught off guard by the most atrocious smell ever.

"EWWW WHO FARTED?!" Alex looked around accusingly.

"Not me," Rave said laughing her butt off and covering her nose.

"It's brimstone, you smell it when you get close to volcanoes," Sakura said looking ahead of them.

"So that means we're close to the castle right?" Ashiko asked pleadingly as Rave started making farting noises.

"Actually I'd say we're there," Gabe spoke up for the second time that entire day as they came out of the woods to see a huge charred castle standing tall into the clouds.

"No duh sherlock, what was your first clue?" Hiei asked apparently annoyed beyond the capability of civilized conversation.

"So who goes in first?" Cami and Alex both asked at the same time looking around.

"Just a guess but I would say the leader who happens to be half way across the bridge now," Brian frowned pointing at Abbey who was walking across the rickety old bridge like it was solid ground. The bridge was hanging over the lava and shaking back and forth perilously looking as if it could snap at any moment.

"Abbey! Have you lost your mind?!!" Kairi screamed pulling on her ears fearfully.

"I could make a rude insult that I doubt she ever had one but at least she has the guts to go across it first with out being asked," Hiei frowned as he started his way across as well followed closely by Kurama and a very fearful Sakura.

"Oh god I'm going to regret this," Kairi said taking a step onto the bridge. She screamed though as she felt arms sweep her off her feet and carry her across the bridge. She looked up to see Brian smiling and carrying her.

"We wouldn't want you to have a heart attack on us, don't worry I wont drop you."

As the rest of the fighters followed carefully onto the bridge, even rave seemed to have calmed a bit as they crossed, a loud evil laugh emitted from inside the castle.

"You do realize there's a small chance of survival right?" Hiei questioned Abbey out of every one else's ear shot.

"Of course, why do you think I went first?" she frowned her eyes fixed upon the foreboding castle ahead.

"Your suicidal?" Hiei laughed lightly but it was obvious that it was forced.

"No. I chose to be the leader so I took the responsibility. I'm going to make sure that most of them survive," She said stubbornly.

"And what about you?"

Abbey didn't answer. She didn't know of an answer only that she would make sure as many people as possible did survive. Even if it meant her own death.

Authors note: yay ch. 12. I know I got them to the castle fast but if I didn't I would have rambled on about them traveling through the woods trying to kill rave for singing. I would like to thank poltergeist for sending me some guy charies and more would be appricieated and some evil characters. To make the story more intresting I'm twisting it a bit to be like the 4 saint beasts. You know how each fighter has a demon to fight so those are welcome too. Oh and I am also open to any pairing suggestions just not with Kurama or Hiei cus yeah.. story complications since they are a bit hard to pair up. Kuramas shy and Hiei's… Hiei… but flirting suggestions are allowed. R&R and I'll post A.S.A.P.
