Excel: I'm baaaaack! And with an update of all updates! This Chapter is called Past lovers, Forbidden Waltz. Number 10 Kay?
La-la: this is too make up for such a long delay thanks to Excel's computer.
Excel: You know…I have to work on Shaoran a bit more. He needs to be shown off like the true feline he is.
Iesha: Do you like him or something?
Excel: Who the heck wouldn't? He's one cool cat! You gotta love him!
La-la: and I'm taking your place as Yuriko in this story right?
Excel: Yup! Shan-Chan does a pretty good job of keeping me and Shao-chan good friends in her stories. Like Twin dimensions for example! That was a classic in the making! Wonder what happened to all her stories. I'll ask her after I'm done with this. Alright! Update!
Kawaii puts DVD inside the big screen TV and theme song plays.
"Okay Sayuri, what's up with this Seto person and you?" asked Akasha. The 3 girls have gotten close since the mishap at the dorm.
Julin sipped on her milkshake looking at her best friend with disdain. She was always so nosy. She really should be a reporter.
"Seto was my boyfriend. He was sent on a mission into Elven territory. He was never seen again. Julin raised an eyebrow at this.
"Elven? As in Elves? You mean to tell me they are real?" she asked. Sayuri nodded.
"Of course they are real. Elves are mythical of course and very smart. They know how to conceal themselves. Only those who already know where they are can find them." She said cryptically. Julin nodded.
"The only reason I'm believing that is because I have no evidence to prove you wrong. (Why can't other people think like that?)" Julin replied. Sayuri smiled.
"So…Say, what exactly is the Brotherhood?" asked Akasha. Julin nodded, she wanted to know as well.
"Well the Brotherhood is us. We fight monsters that threaten this school. Simple as that. We also investigate things outside the school that could be dangerous in the future. That is why Seto and my brother Eden left. To ask the elves if they have seen anything unusual. We never heard from them again.
" Who sends you on these missions?" asked Julin in curiosity. Sayuri scowled.
" We call them the Big 5. They are the schools advisors. Bunch of ass kissin fools. Can't stand them." She growled. Julin raised an eyebrow.
"Point taken. Lets go on out now." Said Akasha. They nodded and paid their check and left.
While walking Akasha and Julin couldn't help but notice that Sayuri was keeping up pretty easily. Made them wonder if she actually needed them.
"So Ju-chan. What's up with you and Inuyasha?" she said. Julin blushed a bit.
" Inuyasha's…funny in his own right. He reminds me of prince Charming disguised as a play-boy." She answered softly. Akasha stared at her wanting to say something.
"And Sesshomaru?' Sayuri added.
"Sesshomaru is Prince Charming, wrapped up in a beautiful sculpture of ice." Julin said with a warm smile appearing on her face.
"Who do you like more?" asked Akasha. Julin raises an eyebrow.
" You of all people should know I'm not going to be in any type of relationship." She said a bit coldly. Akasha nodded in understanding.
"Not a lover-type person, are you? "Asked Sayuri. Julin shrugged.
"I seduce them then leave them." She said sounding almost serious. Sayuri stared at the girl.
"Are you serious?" Sayuri asked. Julin laughed.
"Heck no! Do I look like I could seduce the God of ice and the Prince of Playboy mansion?" she laughed. The other two couldn't help but laugh along with her. The new nicknames were odd yet fitting!
"What have they done to you." Came a smooth deep voice. Sayuri whirled around. Julin and Akasha just started to turn only to see Sayuri completely gone and in the arms of a tall brunette. Julin blinked. 'How did she run without her crutches?' she wondered.
"Seto…" said Sayuri into the young man chest. Akasha poked Julin's side.
"I think that's Seto." She said quietly. Julin broke out of her thoughts to nod.
"Yeah…must be." Julin replied looking at the two kiss right there in the street. Sighing she turned around and waited for them to finish.
"Julin! Akasha! Meet Seto!" called Sayuri. Julin and Akasha turned around to walk for them.
"Nice to meet you Seto." Said Akasha bowing. He returned it slightly his eyes locking with Julin's.
"Same here." Said Julin bowing as well. She smirked looking into Seto's blue eyes seeing him search her face.
She recognized him now. She remembered him for the time she was "her past self". They had met at dinner parties, which neither one wanted to attend, and would go over strategies and Seto would tell her about his new wave in the gaming world. They had gotten to be a step above becoming friend before he had left and she never saw him again.
"Do I know you?" he asked. She smirked remembering that the last time he saw her, her hair was past her knees and midnight black instead of shoulder length dark brown, and her eyes were a lavender color…they were hazel now thanks to some very good contacts.
" We probably met in our past lives." She laughed shaking her head. His eyebrows furrowed at this and she waved it off.
"Don't take Ju-chan seriously." Said Akasha walking ahead of them. Julin laughed even harder at this. 'This is getting to be too rich!'
All 4 of them stopped at the 'transportation' the girls were given. A silver Denali with tinted windows was their ride. It was customized with a fox and a cat turning into blue flames near the wheels.
"May I do the honors of informing the rest of us you are here?" Asked Akasha already whipping out her cell phone. Julin laughed then thought to herself. 'I never got Sesshomaru a house-warming gift.' she thought. Watching as they climbed into the truck she stopped.
" I'll see you guys later. I've got to do something first" she said walking off. Akasha had already finished telling everyone what happened and they said they were going to meet her in Sesshomaru/Julin's dorm.
" Should I send someone to come pick you up?" asked Sayuri? Julin shrugged then smiled seeing her friend's worried visage.
" Sure. I'll meet them at the diner we just came form okay?" she said grinning as Akasha closed the door. She waved as they drove off then proceeded to find a store that would suit her needs.
"I need you to explain this to me again. You got attacked by a monster, Julin and Sesshomaru found you, and no one has seen or heard of them since then?" asked Seto while driving. Sayuri nodded while Seto stopped to think.
" That is odd. Monsters normally don't attack alone unless they are that powerful or they are guarding something." He said quietly. Sayuri went into a deep thought process as well.
"What? Do you think they might come back for revenge or something?" asked Akasha. Seto and Sayuri started, and then stared at her. Then Akasha, realizing what she just said groaned. " And they would go for the one person who doesn't know this right?" she said and Seto nodded.
"Julin is in trouble then." Said Seto swerving the jeep into a U-turn so quick the girls hit the windows. Sayuri had already whipped out her cell phone and was calling a number while Akasha was calling another.
" That was so dumb of me." Said Sayuri. Akasha nodded playfully and stuck her tongue out at her.
" It will take us hours to find her!" said Seto seriously annoyed with the turn of events. Quietly Akasha called the one person she knew wasn't going to be happy at all. Then again one could never tell when he was happy.
Sesshomaru.
Julin walked down the street admiring the beauty of the school. It truly was a gorgeous place. 'But how the heck do you find someone a gift? I barely know him…which is a shame considering the way I've acted the past couple of days.' She thought to herself. Finally stopping at a place that looked like a traditional Japanese forge she went inside. "Why not get a sword for the warrior?" she said smiling.
Stopping once she got inside she immediately unbutton her blouse a bit. It was HOT! She grimaced and looked around a bit. She wasn't really sure what the heck she was looking for. She was an archer not a swordswoman. Rolling her eyes she thought of when Akasha would drool over a sword she saw on the Internet.
"Can I help you?" asked a scratchy voice that made Julin squint at it.
"Yes. Can I have a sword especially made?" she asked turning around then gasping. The old man had big bulging eyes that looked like they were going to pop out his head! "I…uh…um…who are you?" she said steeping back a bit.
"Totousai, young maiden." He said putting his hands behind his back. Looking up at her. Shaking her head she stared at him. " You required a sword?" he asked.
She nodded.
"Its for my friend. He looks like a sword person." She said thinking back to Sesshomaru. Tilting his head to the side Totousai looked at her.
"And what does type of sword would look best with him?" he asked. She thought even harder.
"Something powerful. But light based…have it named… heavenly." She said. He nodded.
" Is that all?" he asked. She nodded. He thought then left for the back of his shop."Wait! Don't I have to pay for it?" she asked. He waved his hand.
"Come back in 3 days for it!" he yelled for her. Blinking, she nodded, and left.
" What an odd…old man." She said aloud walking through the park to get a more scenic route. 'I hope he likes it' she thought with a smile. She staring daydreaming, about Sesshomaru wielding that sword in battle. It was gorgeous to be honest. He looked so graceful it wasn't even funny. Actually him wielding any type of weapon looked like a work of art. (Isn't that right?)
"Herm. Why do I feel like it suddenly got darker?" she said aloud to herself. Her senses started to heighten as the fine hairs on the back on her neck stood up. "Oh great" she thought to aloud. She looked for another exit out the park. Turning around till she was walking in the way she came she listened out. 'Something doesn't feel right.' She thought furrowing her eyebrows. Perking her ears up a bit she could of swore she heard something crunching the leaves behind her.
'Duck!' something in her mind screamed and she did just that as something came whizzing past where her head was.
"Holy!" she cried out looking back to see a gangly looking creature. "Ewww." She said as drool came out its mouth and burned the ground in front of her. Blinking and watched the thing as she stepped back.
'You may want to keep your distance from this thing' came the voice in her head again. She looked around.
'When did I ever have a guy as my conscience?' she thought to herself but stepping back anyway.
'Have you never heard of telepathy?' came the voice in barely veiled humor. She rolled her eyes.
'Who are you?' she said in her head.
'Don't worry about that right now. Just listen to me. Pick up some dirt and throw it to it.' Came the voice again. Kneeling down she did what she was told. Who am I to argue when I have no idea what's going? Then she jumped back throwing the dirt onto the creature as it hissed at her and charged for at an inhuman speed.
"Crap! Great idea genius!" she said aloud. Breaking off a branch she smacked the thing in its head.
'Great improvisation' came the low baritone voice that could have matched Sesshomaru if it wasn't so damn warm! She flipped as it swiped at her missing her neck by inches.
"Whatever." She said obviously peeved that this guy was not helping her and only instructing her on how to make it worse. Snarling to herself and took a swing at the things head as she knocked it to the ground. When she went to bash its head in it grabbed her branch! Yanking it from her hand it kicked her in the stomach making the air leave her lungs in a powerful whoosh! She sailed through the air and hit the tree with a loud thud.
"Ow…" she said sliding down the trunk clutching her stomach.
'Are you alright?' came the voice all humor gone as it was replaced with worry. She glared nowhere.
'What do you think?' she snapped to him. Kicking her leg out she tripped the fiend and ran for it.
'Dodge left!' he said again. She did as she was told just as a ball of spit flew past her. She shuddered.
"Ew!" she said watching as it melted the tree in front of her. Sliding to her left she ran even harder.
'Careful!' he said just a bit too late! The fiend had tackled her to the ground and was crushing her throat! She gasped for air as she kicked the thing off. She rolled onto her stomach pushing herself up.
'I hate being partially blind. It sucks on ice!' she whined as she heard the thing charge her again.
'Roll to your right!' the guy yelled making her go cross-eyed. She grimaced at the volume in her head, but rolled hearing the claws of the fiend sinking into the ground right next to her. Growling slightly she got to her feet.
"That is it!" she said taking off her jacket. She wrapped it around her waist and got into her unique fighting position. "You are aggravating me!" she said taking the by the head and slamming her knee in its stomach 3 times before kicking it the ground. Reaching into her hair she pulled the chopsticks she had in her bun out. Using them as makeshift daggers. (You can do that!)
'I have a feeling you don't need my help.' Came the guys voice in her head. She blocked him out. She listened for the hiss the fiend made and twirled away from it using her chopsticks to stab it in the neck. She leapt away as it howled in pain. She stood at the ready as it spit furiously at her. Julin dodged all of the attacks charging for it once again.
"You pissed me off at the wrong time!" she growled stabbing it in the chest watching it as it died in front of her. She snorted and put her jacket back on. "Never interrupt me when I'm day dreaming." She snarled then took out a napkin and put her chopsticks in it placing them in her back pocket.
Walking stiffly she went on not realizing what was going on behind her.
'Watch out!'
(An: I know that's right! Do not attack a girl while she is day dreaming about Fluffy-sama!)
" Where is she?" growled Sesshomaru.
"I last scented her walking into the park." Said Shaoran. Inuyasha glared at him.
"Why didn't you go after her?" he yelled as Shaoran simply ignored him.
"Shao…why didn't you?" asked Yuriko. He smiled down at her.
"At the time I had no clue that she would have been in danger." He said simply. Inuyasha huffed. About to retort to this a large explosion sounded in the park.
"I'm guessing that's where she is." Said Yuriko heading towards Shaoran's motorcycle the gold of it reflected of her eyes.
"That's not cool." Said Kouga taking off on his own. Everyone looked for Sesshomaru but found him already gone and heading towards the explosion.
" I hope that thing is dead. Because if it isn't Sesshomaru will torture only to bring it back to life only to slowly kill it again…though he might do that anyway." Said Akasha. Then smiled "What am I talking about? I hope it's alive!" she said jumping into Kenshin's convertible him following close behind her.
"I should have remembered that." Came the guy's voice from Julin crumpled form.
"Can I say something?" she said opening her eyes weakly.
"No. Save your strength." His gentle voice commanded. She nodded as he uncorked something and put it too her lips. Shaking her head away from it she weakly tried to fan away from her.
"I don't want any medicine." She whined weakly. She heard him sigh then felt the container being taken away.
" So stubborn." He said and she heard the container being emptied. Turning her head slightly to see what was going on before she felt two lips on her own, gasping slightly she felt a warm liquid flowing into her mouth. Blinking she looked up as she started to feel rejuvenated. (Just in case you wanted to know he just kinda force fed her a Hi-potion) Turning her mouth away from his she scowled.
"The heck was that!" she said wiping her mouth as he chuckled.
"Something that probably saved your life." He said. "That monster has a wild card on its side. Once it's on the brink of death it self-destructs itself to harms it opponent. Sometimes poisoning them as well." He said watching as her face went pale. "Don't. Let me guess. He poisoned you." He said as she rolled her eyes. (Basically it self destructed her and left her with one HP. Thinking in Final Fantasy mode.)
"Got anything for that too?' she said her voice raspy. He chuckled. Then she felt him get up.
"I would but someone else is coming for you." He said then he was gone. Suddenly feeling sleep overcome her she fell unconscious feeling a new set of hands that held her to a warm firm body. Before she completely passed out she mumbled one name.
"Sesshomaru." She said as he picked her up.
"You damned mangy cat! You probably did this to her!" yelled Inuyasha as Shaoran flicked some imaginary dust from under his claws.
"I'm sorry to inform you Inuyasha, but not all of us are as simple-minded as you." He said sighing in an exaggerated fashion. Inuyasha growled at him as Shaoran gave him a low chuckle.
"Where was she?" asked Sayuri to Sesshomaru. His golden eyes flashed to her. But he didn't answer her. Instead his eye slid over to Julin where she was sleeping on her bed. His eyes stayed there emotions running through them even as his face remained the same.
"Where I found her isn't important. " he said lowly as Shaoran moved his hands performing a scan on Julin.
"Well. That monster was supposed to be back up to kill Say. So it has to be high. But she beat it and is only knocked out." He said reading over her status. Then he tilted his head to the side appearing much like the cat he was placing his hand under his chin. "Apparently she has got some serious experience points on her. Enough to rival Fluffy, over there, but its seems to only appear when she is angry." He finished dismissing the scan.
"How does that work?" asked Yuriko. Seto shrugged as did everyone else.
"Maybe its sends her into a berserker mode and she gets more powerful but she still can think." Said Kenshin. They nodded at this waiting until Julin woke up to tell them what happened.
