Ahhh, another day, another chapter. My my my, where does the time go? Well, I guess it goes home. I mean, if I was time, I wouldn't want to spend all day out on the town. Who would feed the fish? Plus, I bet I would want to sleep at some point. But then again, time keeps on going even at night. So does that mean that time never gets to go to bed? What about naps? I like naps, and I bet time would like them too if it were allowed to take them. So this chapter is for you time! Thanks for always being there when we need you! (and even when we don't) ENJOY: )
I do not own jin and touya nor yu yu hakusho (nick nack patty wack, give a dog a…scone?)
For what seemed like hours there was nothing but silence between the warring youkai,
and none were keen on being the first one to make a sound. They were all lying in wait for the newcomer to make themselves known, though one of them already knew. Finally, the faint cracking and snapping of twigs was heard, and that which had only been shadow come forth into light.
At first, Jin could not make out the demon that now stood before him, as the blinding pain from the previous attack was still festering within him. But after a few moments it all became clear and the wind master could not believe his eyes. "SUPIKA! HOW IS IT THAT YOU'RE BEIN' HERE!"
Again there was only silence, and the wind master's question lingered in the air like a heavy fog. Not one of them could believe the demon that now stood before them, and none really wanted to. There she was, the warrior of Mizummi no Himitsu, standing in all her glory, brandishing the same smile that had caused so many youkai to crumble before her. And, at last, she spoke. "Hoe shimatsu Sazuka, taka ma gwan no. . .why hello Sazuaka, I was afraid I wouldn't get the chance to see you again before your death. Demo kunta sha ikkiko wanmo…but now it seems that both of our wishes are about to come true. Anata was julo shomi…you shall have your death. Iie mai sone donno kai…and I shall be the one to kill you. . ."
As the warrior's speech ended, there came upon the forest a wind the likes of which had never been seen by mortal or youkai before. But this time it did not come from the wind master, nor from any other shinobi sect. And there was a feeling to it, a sense of anger that burned like fire as it touched the faces of the fallen ones. This wind was indeed the manifestation of all the bitter emotions one could perceive, and swirled and mixed the feelings of bitterness and sorrow within them all. Now would be the time of reckoning and shame, and it would be now that the end of the world would come. But out of this impending terror came a thing which none of them suspected. Fore in the same second that the wind had rose, so too had risen another, perhaps greater, injustice. A laugh.
"Heh, heh, heh, heh. Ahh Supika, you always were one for dramatics! But then again, how could I blame you? After all, you were engaged to the most dramatic performer in the makai!"
"CHUMPO KALAYLA SUNTA WA SHUN!...HOW DARE YOU SPEAK OF THAT! WATASHI NI NO KOTOBE WA!...I SHALL MAKE YOU SUFFER!" And suddenly the wind became fierce and its force was that of a gale. All three youkai were swept by its tremendous power, and were carried upwards towards the heavens.
Having little to no understanding of the situation unfolding before them, neither Hiei nor Jin could formulate a plan of action. It seemed as though Supika had gone mad in her rage and was now set on destroying anything (or anyone) in her path. Apparently, Sazuka's words had spoken more volumes then the wind master had first anticipated, and now they were all about to pay for them.
After a few moments, the wind that had once supported them gave out, and an equally oppressive one came crashing down upon them. They were now spiraling towards the ground at what felt like the speed of light and in only a few moments all of them would die. Suddenly, everything came into perspective for Jin, and he no longer feared his imminent demise. The three worlds seemed to come together for him now, and he could see no separation between them. It was as if he was not falling so much as flying. And for the first time since he had started upon his journey Jin felt as though he were truly alive. His death meant that he could be with the one he truly loved, and so he would embrace it with everything he had. If this was his time then so be it, fore now he had nothing to fear. But some things in this world do not always turn out the way we expect them to, and for now the wind master would not receive that which he desired most. Fore Supika was, if nothing else, a loyal friend, and despite her rage she refused to cause harm to those she had come to respect as her own family. That is why before the impact, the female warrior created yet another air pocket, one whose job it would be to catch both the wind and fire demon. And, as it had been planned, it had come to pass. Only one would hit the ground in that moment, and it was all Supika could do to keep from conducting the heinous act once more.
Instead, the female youkai walked and stood over the smoking crater that now contained the body of one she knew very well. A man whom she had vowed to spend the rest of her days. . .

"TUNDO SAIMA SAZUKA, KIMI SHOMOMO!….I HAVE WAITED FOREVER FOR THIS DAY SAZUKA, THE DAY OF YOUR EXECTUTION! IMA MO FUTAOTE MASZUKA!...NOW YOU SHALL KNOW MY PAIN!"
"Aishiteru."
"Nani?...What?"
"Aishiteru." It was an old word, one that her village seldom used. There really was no translation for it and it would be near impossible for someone who was not a native speaker to understand. Essentially, it was all the feelings of love one could have placed into mortal speech, and only those who truly felt it dared to utter it, lest their emotions not be sure. In Mizummi no Himitsu it was a binding contract, and was considered by most to be a marriage vow. From the time Supika had come upon him in the woods during the dark tournament to the time when they had shared their first embrace Sazuka had spoken that word to her…and it was only now that Supika realized it was a lie….
Wow! How long has it been since my last posting? Yes, yes, too long I know. And I really have no excuse for it. Oh well, for those few fans that have sat in patient loyalty for me to return I say thank – you. And for those that have left me, I say please return. You know I love you all, and it is YOU that keep me going. I really have nothing more to say now, and I think that it's best for me to begin work on the next chapter while I'm still in the mood. You understand don't you? Thanks, and I'll see you at chapter 10: )
