Genkai's First Student by Toxic Tears
Chapter 16: She'd Give Anything
Shoula stood on the stage, ice rapidly covering it. His eyes traveled over the last humans running out and then over to the Reikai team. He smirked and looked at Nikai pointedly.
Nikai seemed to shrink behind the others, not wanting him to see her. Hiei, sensing her unease, moved in front of her more.
Sukara cowered behind Kurama. She was truly scared of Shoula. Definitely not as much as Nikai, but she still feared him.
Yuusuke began to open his mouth, but Shoula cut him off. "Before you go into some big speech about how you're going to arrest me, make Nikai come out where I can see her."
All but Hiei and Sukara looked at her in confusion. "What's he talking about Nikai? Why does he want to see you?" Yuusuke asked.
Nikai sighed and stiffened. 'I'm going to have to face him eventually' She pushed past Hiei and stood defiantly in front of them with her arms crossed. "As you can see, I'm right here, now what do you want?"
Shoula smirked and blurred in front of her. He cupped her chin and purred gently, "That outfit suits you."
Nikai shuddered at his freezing touch. Her next move was to punch him as far away as she could, which unfortunately wasn't too far.
Shoula wiped the side of his mouth and glared at her. "I guess you still refuse the offer to come with me." He said calmly.
"Damn straight!" she yelled, glaring at him.
"Then you leave me no choice, you must die." Ice started collecting around his arm, creating a sword. (A/N: Yes, like Touya's, I'm so un-original aren't I?)
Nikai drew her own sword that had been hidden against her skirt and got in a fighting stance. Looking over her shoulder she told the others, "This is my fight, do not get involved."
Sukara was the only one who knew exactly what that meant. "But Nikai, he'll-"
"Tell them nothing Sukara!" Nikai yelled. The others where surprised at her sudden outburst.
"Let us help you Nikai!" Yuusuke yelled. "I don't know why he's after you, but you're our friend and we can't let him hurt you!"
She glared at him. "Do not get involved." She hissed acidly and he backed off.
Shoula finished forming his ice sword and smiled pleasantly at her. "Not letting them help you is a grave mistake."
"Right, maybe I'll take that into consideration after you're dead." She got in a fighting position.
There was one problem. Hiei. He grabbed her arm and spun her around forcefully. "You are not going alone." He hissed.
Nikai wrenched her arm free and glared at him. "Dammit Hiei! This is not your choice!" He grabbed her arm again and she punched him, making him stumble back just enough. "Back off." She stepped forward to finally fight Shoula.
Hiei looked at her angrily. 'I'm not going to let her die.' Even so, he was going to let her fight for a while before he stepped in to help. Looking at the others he said, "Do as she says. I think she knows what she's doing."
"Oh you think? That's reassuring!" Yuusuke exclaimed.
Nikai turned around and faced her opponent. She wasn't going to wait for him to make a move. She shot forward and swung her sword at his throat. Shoula easily brought his arm up and stopped the blow.
"You'll have to do better than that." He smirked.
She glared at him. "Don't worry, I will." She swung her blade again, this time across and down in one fluid move. It did not slice him in half as she had wanted, but it did cause him to back up enough so she was out of range of his attacks. Shoula lunged at her and swiped his own sword down towards her left side. Nikai flipped her weapon in her hand and swung upwards, driving his arm up. Her fist connected solidly with the now unprotected rib cage.
Shoula winced as he brought his arm down. He could tell at least one rib on his right side was broken and it made him mad. 'Maybe I will kill her just for that.'
Yuusuke and Kuwabara watched the fight in awe, both able to keep up with all the strikes and parries, but it was still difficult.
"You know, now that I think about it, we've never seen Nikai really try to kill someone before." Yuusuke said.
"Remind me never to piss her off again." Kuwabara muttered.
Botan spoke up. "Just because she was trained by Genkai wasn't the only reason Koenma wanted her to join our team. He knew she would be a very powerful asset simply because of her natural strength."
Sukara watched in fear as Shoula managed to slice Nikai's shoulder pretty deeply. Luckily it wasn't her sword arm.
Kurama looked down at Hiei. "Are you going to do anything?" he questioned.
Hiei took a moment to respond as he watched Nikai's blood drip to the floor. "Not yet." He said shortly.
Nikai spun around and blocked Shoula's next blow and countered by kicking her booted foot up to his chin. But Shoula saw it coming and grabbed her ankle, freezing her whole lower leg as soon as he touched it.
'Dammit!' She pulled her leg out of his grasp and flipped back, landing in a crouch. She tried to melt the ice with a flame from her palm but nothing happened.
Shoula sneered, "Don't bother, that ice is connected to me. It wont melt or break unless I die." He glanced at Hiei. "It was a fluke that let that kid break it last time."
Nikai was breathing a little heavily as she glared up at him. She was beginning to realize this fight was futile. Shoula was stronger than her. Not by a ton, but enough to make it impossible to beat him. 'Heh, maybe I should have let them help me.' She thought. Trying to stand she stumbled and almost fell again, but managed to stay on her feet. Her leg was really starting to hurt and her shoulder was making her lose blood fast.
Shoula came a few steps toward her but stopped as she growled at him. He smirked, taunting her. This was definitely fun for him. Taking another step he got close enough and slashed his sword arm down. Nikai tried to bring her sword up and dodge, but she still got hit in the side and fell, her sword sliding out of her reach. Shoula stood over.
"You are so pathetic. Did you actually think you could beat me?" he said, still taunting. She glared defiantly but she knew, put bluntly, she was about to die.
Across the room Yuusuke cried out, "We have to do something!" His index finger started glowing and Kurama ran a hand through his hair, pulling out his rose.
Kuwabara held out his hands, but then hesitated. 'What am I doing?! I may not like Nikai but I still have to help!' he thought. His Spirit Sword instantly sprung from his hands. Sukara clenched her fists and her claws came out of her gloves.
Shoula looked up and pressed his sword tip firmly to Nikai's throat breaking the skin. "Any of you move and she dies now!"
The moment he yelled that there was a flash of black and he made a choking sound. They all saw there was now a sword protruding from his stomach. He spun his head around and saw Hiei forcing his sword deeper into him. He twisted the blade and there was the sick sound of it grinding against bones before he jerked it out. Shoula fell and Hiei kicked him, leaving a blood streak across the floor and the wall that he slammed into.
"Way to go Hiei!" Yuusuke yelled. He ran over with the others behind him.
Hiei was already kneeling beside Nikai. He took hold of her hand and helped her up.
"I told you not to interfere!" she said stubbornly. Her eyes were starting to slide in and out of focus.
"A simple 'thank you' would suffice." He snapped. He was looking over her wounds. The one on her shoulder was still losing blood at a dangerous pace. Nikai noticed this and put her hand over it, but the blood flowed over her fingers, staining them.
Sukara ran over to her. "Botan!" she cried. "Heal her!"
Botan came up beside her, but Nikai shook her off. "I'm fine, leave me alone." Botan looked like she was going to back off, but Hiei knew she was the only one who could heal quickly besides Kurama and he may need his energy later, so he grabbed her wrist and put her hand over Nikai's wound and glared at her. Botan gulped and winced as Hiei squeezed. Energy flowed from her hand and into Nikai's wound, healing it.
Nikai glared at Hiei, but inside she was very thankful. Her arm no longer hurt and she wasn't in danger of losing too much blood. Fresh pink tissue covered up the cut and it was done.
Sukara stood right in front of Nikai after Hiei had let go of Botan's hand. "You idiot! You could have died and all because of your stupid pride! I hate you! You better never do something like that again!" she ranted. Nikai raised an eyebrow. "I'm serious!"
"Ok Sukara, calm down." Nikai said. "I'm fine."
"Well that's great but you've got explaining to do!" Yuusuke exclaimed. "Who was that guy and why was he after you?"
Nikai shook her head. "I can't explain now. Let's just get out of here."
Yuusuke frowned but agreed that would be the best thing to do. "Yeah, come on." They started walking toward the exit, but Nikai didn't move. They looked back and saw her looking down. One leg was still covered with ice.
"Aww shit!" she yelled and looked over to where the dead Shoula was supposed to be. There was a puddle of blood but nothing else.
"Where is he?" Sukara asked. Kurama unconsciously moved in front of her. Everyone looked around frantically, their weapons raised.
No one saw it coming. It happened in the blink of an eye. One moment Hiei was standing with his sword ready to strike, the next it had clattered to the floor and he was being held in the air by his throat.
"Hiei!" all of them cried. Shoula was completely healed and was squeezing the air out of the little demon.
Nikai ran forward. "You son of a bitch, let him go! He's not involved!"
Shoula looked at her. "Oh but he is. I know how much you care about this spiky haired bastard." He looked back at Hiei with a maniacal gleam in his eye. "So he'll be the first to go." Turning back to Nikai he said, "That is, unless you're willing to give something up."
Hiei tried in vain to unclench the fingers at his throat. Of course he wasn't scared of death, but he had a feeling that Nikai was about to do something very rash.
Nikai felt her heart speed up. She knew what she had to do. "I'd give anything." She said evenly. Hiei opened his mouth to yell at her, but no sound came out, Shoula was holding too tightly.
Shoula grinned evilly. "I knew you would. Give up your free life, for all of theirs." Those were his terms. He knew Nikai would agree. That would always be her downfall.
Nikai nodded. "If that is what I must give, then I will."
"NO!" Sukara yelled. She tried to run to Nikai, but Kurama caught her around the waist. "Let go! She can't do this!"
Kurama looked at Nikai sadly. "We can't help her now." He finally understood what was going on. Shoula wanted Nikai and nothing was going to stop him from getting her.
Yuusuke and Kuwabara were still a little confused, but they knew that Nikai just did something bad. "Kurama, what did she just do?" Yuusuke asked.
"She gave herself up." He said. "To save us."
"She didn't need to save us! If she had let all of us fight from the beginning then he'd already be dead!" Yuusuke started powering up his Spirit Gun in anger. "I'm gonna take this guy out right now!" A blast of blue energy shot from his finger and straight at Shoula. Right before it hit him, Shoula raised his hand and a freezing mist covered the entire energy ball. It froze instantly and fell to the floor, shattering. Yuusuke looked shocked. "B-but how did he...?" Now they all knew that it was useless, they could not beat Shoula, at least not at their current states.
Botan sniffed. "Oh Nikai."
Nikai stood bravely in front of Shoula, who was very close to breaking Hiei's neck.
/What the hell do you think you're doing?!/ Hiei shouted through somewhat broken telepathy because of the lack of oxygen to his brain.
Nikai didn't trust her voice not to break so she answered too softly for anyone to hear her, "Sorry Hiei." She took off her sheath and threw it close to where she had dropped her sword; she knew she wouldn't need it anymore. Shoula dropped Hiei to the floor and kicked him into the rickety staircase. It collapsed on top of him and Nikai winced. Shoula held out his hand and she hesitantly took it, turning back to the others, tears shining noticeably in her eyes. "Goodbye..." she mouthed as her final farewell. The two faded away and that was the last they saw of their once strong Nikai.
Was that sad? Please tell me it was sad! sniff Oh well. Bye-bye Nikai! That was the end...YEAH RIGHT!!!
TT: singing something happily at the top of her lungs giving no consideration to the others around her
Kurama: has his hands clasped over his ears Hiei, make her stop!
Hiei: also has his hands over his ears You actually think I can stop her?!
Kurama: You're her lover!!
Hiei: That doesn't mean anything!!
TT: suddenly stops WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN 'THAT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING'?!?!
Hiei: Uh...I should start running now shouldn't I?
TT: nods curtly with an evil glint in her eye
Hiei: runs frantically away with TT chasing him
Kurama: sighs This is going to take a while. Anyway, Please review or else TT may never stop chasing Hiei, and I know all you other Hiei lovers out there aren't going to like that.
Okay this is the new author's note. My computer is so screwed up right now. This is the first time I've really been able to even use the word processor for almost a month. At the moment I'm having a slight emotional breakdown because of my dog and the fact that I just lost a writing and presentation competition. Yeah, sure I placed second and one of my best friends placed first, but whether you lose by 1 point or 20, you've still lost. sighs and rubs temples It sucks even more because one of the judges gave me a perfect score. I know this because they accidentally gave one of my score sheets to the girl who won. God life really sucks at the moment. Anyway, I bet you're probably wondering when chapter 17 is coming, hopefully soon. I promise, at least in the next month or so...
Here's the teaser too: Chapter 17: Despair
Hiei stormed through the door to Koenma's office where the demi-god and ferry girl were talking. They looked up just in time to see Hiei phase through the air, over to the desk. He grabbed Koenma around his tiny neck and shook him.
"You knew didn't you?! You knew who was going to be at that club tonight and you made her go anyway!" he yelled. Koenma's head lolled back and forth as the demon rattled him.
"Hiei stop it!" Botan shrieked, trying to pry him off, of course to no avail.
Kurama and Sukara ran through the open door.
"Hiei, let go!"
