Chapter 11: Farewell to hoping
It was he day before the Izayo tournament and everyone was really up tight. Last night team Isamu got together because Hawk had something to tell them. Everyone was sitting in the boys living room. Hawk looked at them and let a big sigh and hit the arm rest on his wheel.
"Jiro screwed us over again!" Everyone stared at hawk.
"Hawk what happened?" Asked Taro
"I got a e-mail from Jiro, apparently he's good buddies with Rin, she pulled some strings with him and were gonna be fighting tournament a little bit differently."
"How different exactly" Jia asked
Hawk looked away for a moment and then looked back them. "Just one of us I going to be fighting in the tournament." Everyone looked at eachother wide eyed.
"Jiro wanted to make sure one of faced Rin for sure." So no winning and advancing just one match, one of us Vs Rin and they've already picked which one of us is facing her."
" Who" Kuro sounded like he could care less but everyone new he cared.
Hawk sighed, "She wants to face Lan. Lan looked at him curiously
"Why me."
"Because your Isamu's daughter and she wants to get rid of his whole family." Lan looked down at her feet for a moment than stood up and went to leave the room. As she opened the door she mumbled under breath "Rin gonna pay with ever last breath in her body" SLAM
(Which brings us back to were we started)Lan was sitting on the couch looking out the window at the ocean. Shizuru was in the kitchen having a beer.
"Hey Lan."
"What!" she said tensely
"Hey what's with the attitude."
Lan looked away from Shizuru. She sighed "Sorry". Shizuru walked over and sat on the couch with her.
"Damn this whole tournament thing has really got you edge."
Botan looked up from a book she was reading "And its not just her even Hiei, Kurama and Yusuke have been acting the same, they've got all the symptoms, they've been deep in thought, they haven't been eating and they've been very edgy. Shizuru's watch beeping broke the silence
"Oh gotta go, me and Kuro are gonna go out". Shizuru ran out of the room and shut the door.
Lan sighed ."That's it "she sounded very anxious as she slapped her hand a the couch got up and walked to the door.
"Where are you going!" asked Botan
"To relax!" she slammed the door.
Keiko walked into the room. "What with her."
"I have no Idea."
Lan was standing on a cliff over looking the ocean. Lan tried to relax .She shut her eyes and let the wind blow through her hair ,inhaled the smell of the ocean ,she listen to the wave crash against the cliff and felt the sprits sprinkle, and the rays from the sunset beating on her face. She opened her eyes "Huh "it felt like she was being watched again. She turned her head to the right and looked down below at the beach. Her eyes caught Kurama standing on the beach with a pencil and sketch book facing her.
He looked up from his paper and smiled "Try not move"!
Lan looked at him and smiled and went back to the pose she was in. (Im not sure if Kurama has artistic gift or not but just humor me) She stood there for about 8 minutes trying not to laugh, it was fact that no one had ever done her picture before.
"You come down now!" Lan made her way down the cliff and walked over to where Kurama was standing. He handed her the sketch pad.
"Well what do you think." Lan took it in her hands and looked at it. It was possibly on of the most wonderful picture she had ever seen in her life. It was picture of her wearing a simple cheongsam(dress) in bare feet watching the sunset.
She looked up and gave him a soft smile "Its beautiful". He smiled a back at her "Thank you that means alot coming from you".
"How come?"
"Because I thought you weren't that fond of me."
"Oh no, no, I like you just fine its just the fact of you falling in love with me that I didn't like."
Kurama looked up at the sky for a moment and looked back at her.
"Why do you hate it so much when people say there fond of you." She looked away from him "I've got my reasons."
"Yes, I know that but why."
She sighed and walked over to a bolder near the water and sat on it. She patted the top and gestured for him to come sit with her. He came over and sat with her. She looked him straight in the eye and said softly "Do you really what know that badly?" He gave his head a little nod
"Yes." She looked down and sighed. She told Kurama the whole reason for why she was the she was. "And that's why the I am the way I am."
He gave her sympathetic look.
"I see, your life sounds like its a very critical period right now."
Lan pulled her knees into her chest. "Your right ,it is pretty messed." Tears start to well in Lans eyes. "I don't what I'd do if I lost anyone else."
" That's why I don't want people to love me." She barried her head in her knees and tried to hide the tears. Kurama looked at her with a sad face. He put his arm around her shoulder. Lan took her face out of her knees and leaned it on his chest trying to hold in the tears. He put his other arm around her and held her close.
"I know how you feel, I didn't want love at point in my life" he said softly. She pulled away from him and whipped her eyes. It was now dark out and tied was starting to come. Kurama looked away for a moment and looked back at her. He gave her soft smile
"Lan do you want go back up to that cliff and watch the moon rise. Lan finished wiping the tears from her eyes and gave him a smile
"Sure" she said in watery voice.
They climbed back up the cliff. When they reached the top Kurama sat on the edge of the cliff and Lan stood behind him. They both watched the stars come out one by one. Kurama look up at Lan ,he was dazed. She looked down at him with a smile "What are you looking at?" He snapped out of his daze "Oh ,its just you look really attractive in the moon light. She started to blush as she smiled back at him. She sat down next to him "Don't look so bad either" she smiled. Kurama didn't eye contact with her but he smiled and started to blush. Lan giggled and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and ran back to the hotel. Kurama's eyes widened, he put his hand on the side of his face ,stood up and let out the biggest "WAAOOO!" Lan could here him as she ran back to the hotel. This just like when I was 12she let out a giggle.
After Kurama was done jumping around he walked back to his hotel room. He opened the door singing.
L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore and
Love is all that I can give to you
Hiei was sitting couch looking at Kurama with a very unimpressed look on his face. Kurama stopped singing and look at Hiei
"Something wrong?"
Hiei looked at Yusuke who was sitting in the arm chair.
"I don't believe it after all we've taught him still went off sold his soul for a pretty face."
Yusuke nodded, "Its to late we've lost him to the dark side."
Kurama smirked, "Oh and I suppose when I was off selling my soul you guys were doing of more importance."
Yusuke put his feet up on the coffee table and stretched his arms , "Oh you know, not much just sitting on the couch drinking a Beer, watching the foot ball game and just enjoying the simple pleasures of bachlorhood" he said sarcastically.
Hiei let out a huge belch. "BBBUURRPPP haha miss it already don't you."
Kurama smiled "oh how I pity you any if you now if you, now if you gentlemen will excuse me I've a match tomorrow and Im gonna go to bed." He walked down the wall and continued singing.
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
He walked into his room and shut the door.
"Hiei shook his head he's a sick boy" and continued watching the football game.
