Chapter thirteen: Bad luck (hee, hee!)

'-'

Danny cautiously walked into the principal's when the door slammed shut.

"So Fenton," the voice said. "We meet for the first time." An image came out from the shadows. He was tall and had on a green/brown jacket and black jeans (his jacket is a forest green/tan-like color). He had jet black hair that hung in front of his face and brown eyes. He wore thin, rectangular glasses and black boots. He looked about twenty-five.

"Who are you?" Danny asked.

"Me? I'm Hebi Ama, the author of that article that revealed you" he replied.

"YOU DID WHAT?" Danny shouted.

"I repeat I was the one who wrote the article that will destroy you" he repeated. "Let me start from the beginning. I need my daughter to find something. You might protect her, but I need you too."

"Wait, you're Ri's father?" Danny asked. This man couldn't be Ri's dad. Ri's father was forty, while this man looked no older than thirty.

"Yes, but answer me this, what is the deal with Ri?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Let me speak in a language even you understand. I have taken this office and placed a spell on it. This room cannot be left by the living or dead. You may test it if you don't believe me."

Danny glared at him. He didn't trust Hebi.

Of course you don't trust him idiot! Danny thought. This man was the one that told everyone you were a half ghost!

Danny didn't notice, but Hebi was in front of him. "Go ahead and test it. There is no reason to hide the fact you're a hanyou. I already know. The whole school knows. But if you shall not try it, fine. But answer my question; is there something that I should know about Ri?"

"I'm not gonna answer that. Ri is my friend and I'm not going to betray her" Danny was standing his ground. He would not betray Ri.

"Let me repeat myself" he said calmly. He grabbed at Danny's throat and slammed him against the office wall. "ANSWER ME WHEN I AM TALKING TO YOU!!! IS THERE SOMETHING I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT RI?!"

Hebi was choking Danny, so even if he wanted to answer he couldn't. Danny tried gasping for air, but nothing came. He was like a fish out of water. He coughed and choked, trying to signal that he was dying. Hebi seemed to get the message, slightly, and threw him across the room.

"You are not listening! Tell me and you'll make it out of here alive."

Danny tried to get up, but Hebi got there and kicked Danny in the stomach. Twice.

"Tell me and the pain will be less intense."

Danny attempted to get up, but felt something at the back of his neck. He slowly turned around to see a knife in Hebi's hand. "Tell… me, and…you live."

Danny knew what he had to do. He didn't want to, but he needed to. He went intangible and rolled out of the way.

"Hm, I was right. You're very smart for a child."

"That's not all the tricks I have up my sleeve" Danny said. His two rings of light formed around him, revealing the, right now, infamous Danny Phantom.

"Fascinating. I figured you would put up more of a fight. But having to resolve to this? That's petty." He put the knife on the desk and folded his hand together. "Fenton," he said. "You are such a foolish child. In Japan, we call people like you baca's or morons. Whichever floats your boat. Now you haven't answered me. She's my daughter and I deserve to know."

"-Pfft- No you don't! All you need her for is your own personal gain!!"

"Not one to put up an argument, eh? Well, I'll fix that." With that he pulled a bible and a flask like thing from the inside of his coat.

"Why don't you tell me before I hurt you?"

"You think you can hurt me with that stuff? If you do, that's just sad."

"Only for you." Hebi opened the flask. He brought it across his body and swung it across himself (as if he were making a gesture to a crowd, or like putting his right arm over to his left side and swinging it until it made it to his right side). Some water splattered on Danny.

"I told you tha- augh!!!!" Danny screamed in pain as the water burned his skin.

"What the heck?! What is this stuff?!"

"Just a regular flask of Holy Water. Have you heard of an exorcism,Fenton? The priest uses the Water to purify the body of any spirits that reside in the person."

"So you're using something sacred to do your dirty work?! That's sick!!"

"Yes it is, but if you didn't notice, I'm a twisted man. Now tell me if there is something about Ri. If not, you'll see why exorcisms hurt so badly."

"In your dreams, Hebi."

"YOU DARE CALL ME BY MY FIRST NAME? DIDN'T YOUR PARENTS TEACH YOU ANYTHING?!"

"Well-"

Hebi whipped his bible open and started to read a passage. For some reason, Danny started feeling as if something was being pulled from him. Hebi was doing some things, causing Danny more pain. Danny de-transformed and looked up at Hebi. Hebi was smirking. Danny did the only thing he could think of at the moment. He swung his leg to hit the back of Hebi's knee. Hebi crumbled to the ground as Danny made a run to the exit.

"Where the heck could they be?" Tuck asked as him, Sam and Ri ran down the corridors to the auditorium.

"I can't think straight. Hold on," Ri said to them. She held her head as if she was trying to think. Then-

"Jazz is coming."

"Now that doesn't help us" Sam told her.

"Yes it does." Ri turned to the hall leading to the science lab to see Jazz looking around frantically.

"JAZZ!" Ri called. "Over here!"

Jazz stopped in the midst of her running and looked over at them. She really didn't want to talk to them. She knew they already knew and the whole incident made talking to them awkward. It wasn't as if she didn't want to talk to them. I was just, well, strange.

"Jazz," Ri said calmly, coming closer to her. "I know that it's strange talking to us. But your brother is in danger of getting killed by my father. Now if you come with us, we could find him easier than if you were alone. Danny is-"

She was cut off by Danny, streaking by another hall heading to the-

"Why is going to the auditorium?" Tuck asked.

'-'

"See now? Danny is not a good 'hero'. He is only in it for the ecstasy. You might not think it's so bad, but he is only waiting until someone gets hurt."

The whole school was in an uproar of anger.

I did it. I brainwashed the pathetic humans. They are so gullible. Now for the finish-

Kelsie felt a sharp, knife-like pain in her left shoulder blade. The pain grew more intense, spreading throughout her body. Kelsie hunched over on the floor. No one noticed this. They were all still talking. Kelsie felt like screaming in pain, but she wouldn't let her. Kelsie was not allowed to scream in pain at this. It was so hard not to. It felt as if she was being stabbed repeatedly with lightning bolts and hot knives. The memory of her past came flooding to the front of her mind …

Nadeshiko was crying. She was so upset she killed Zairu. He was her best friend and the only person who didn't hate her. Then he fell very ill and he needed her help. While making the remedy, she couldn't remember how much of what to put into it. She put too much of an herb she couldn't even remember the name to. But she didn't know that too much could kill a person. He did forgive her, but that didn't take away the pain of what she did. She knew the village hated her now. They were silent for the entire day. There was no noise coming from outside her hut. She decided to go investigate…

I hate this memory, Kelsie thought. She hated them all. She was engulfed in a black smoke. People noticed this and pointed this out to other people until everyone's eyes were on her. At the same instant, Danny came bursting through the auditorium entrance, full ghost attire.

The students were muttering amongst themselves about the sight in front of them.

"Kelsie, what the heck are you doing?" Danny yelled to her across the room. At that moment, the smoke spread out quickly, revealing a hooded/cloaked figure.

"Kelsie's is not here right now. Do not you remember me Mr. Phantom, or shall I say, Mr. Fenton?" the Miko said to him.

The muttering grew louder among the crowd of teens.

Great, Danny thought. She just had to remind them.

"Well I wouldn't be talking Priestess. Or maybe I should call you by your other two names."

"What did you say?" she glared at him. The whole crowd was silent.

"I don't know, Nadeshiko, why don't you tell me?"

"Nadeshiko was a fool! And so are you."

She placed her hands together. A ball of light formed and she threw it at him. Danny dodged it as it hit the lockers behind him. Danny flew up and threw an ectoplasm sphere at her. She put her hands in front of her and formed a barrier around herself. She placed her hands up and her bow and arrow in either one. She took aim and shot at him. Danny went intangible. The arrow hit an empty seat, dissolving it. The students sitting around it backed away from the burning seat, screaming. Danny attempted to psyche her out. He threw 2 ectoplasm spheres at her. She deflected them both. Danny wished he had more powers. All he had was intangibility, ectoplasm, and the ability to fly. But he had nothing else to stop the Miko.

She hates fire, Danny thought. But I don't have any right now.

Danny didn't notice that she had already started forming another sphere of energy, only thins time, it was black. But no ordinary black. It made all the other blacks look silver (some black). She took aim at shot it at Danny. Danny went intangible, but the ball of energy was so powerful, that it picked him up along its path. It threw Danny against the bottom edge of the balcony. Danny recovered from the blow and flew right back up.

"Why do you want to kill me so badly?" Danny asked her. "That's all you wanted since day one."

"Actually, I initially just wanted Ri, but you were a fool and now I want both of you dead."

She pulled her ninja stars out and threw them at him. He dodged them as they hit the balcony. All of a sudden, the doors to the auditorium busted open.

"Jazz?!" Danny shouted.

'-'

Ok, that is the end until I get some votes. Should Jazz lie or tell the truth. I'm leaving this up to all of you. Lie and say she just found out, or tell the truth and say she's known for the longest time? This is your choice, not mine. Signing Off! PS, I know how Jazz feels. But I'm not allowed to say why.
