Alright, new chapter. The long waited for, Chapter 12
DBZ voice guy: We left off last time when our fellow travelers met up with Hiei, Kurama, Yusuke and Botan in Makai. Schweppes and Meilin are demons and Yusuke thinks he can help us. Find out what happens now, on Toxicity!
Schweppes: Who's going to say the disclaimer now that Cloud ran away?
Jack: I vote Riku!
Schweppes: Works for me. -Hands Riku a piece of paper-
Riku: I got a better idea -hands the paper to Jack-
Jack: No! -rips up the piece of paper- There, now we won't know what to say.
Schweppes: Does this mean that I have to do it?
Sora, Riku, Jack, Tsukasa and Kouga: YES!
Schweppes: Forget that, I'll make Meilin read it!
Meilin: Fine! I'll read the fucken thing! Let's just get this over with! -gets another disclaimer script. Clears throat- Disclaimer, Schweppes AND MEILIN don't own anything except for this really really messed up fic, that means none of the movies, shows or games. MGM owns Wizard of OZ, Disney owns most of them, and I forgot who owns most of the anime, and there's a Takahashi in every show. Some of the anime shows are by FunImantion (The mother fucken plot wreckers!) We own ourselves (I hope), that includes the wolf/fire demon crossover. But... Schweppes AND MEILIN don't own the house they live in, their rooms, or much of anything. Forget that... that's just Schweppes there.
Schweppes: Hey!
Meilin: Who writes this garbage anyway?
Schweppes: WE DO!
Meilin: Oh yeah.
Tsukasa: Yeah you should write about leaving!
Schweppes and Meilin: NO!
Tsukasa: -grumbles- Priks.
Warnings: OOCnes, Yaoi, extreme weirdness
Notes: (A/N), 'Riku's thoughts', -actions-, #Sora's thoughts#
Last time: "So you went on that long journey, just to look for a dead guy who can probably get out of there anyway?" Botan asked.
"Yeah, I guess so. Maybe you guys can join us." Sora suggested.
Setting: YYH music in the background, a forest covered in a thick fog behind them, an apple orchard in front of them (from where Hiei, Yusuke and Botan appeared). By now, Kurama's back to the red head.
Toxicity
Chapter Twelve: The Desert
"Sure, we'll join you, what do we have to do?" Yusuke asked.
"Lead us somewhere that might help us get out of here or find out what happened to Jack." Sora suggested.
"We should rest, I'm really tired from that hike." Said the brunette.
"Might as well, we don't have much to do anyway." Hiei grunted.
About half an hour later, an owl swooped down and dropped a note on Kurama's lap. Kurama sat there and read it a while before speaking.
"It's from one of my friends. She said that the rest of the youko are in trouble and they need my help. Meilin, why don't you come, I'm sure you could help them as well." The red head seemed worried.
"I'm sure we all could help, Kurama." Sora stated.
"Why not, I'm sure you could." Kurama responded.
"Then let's get going!" Schweppes was swinging her Keyblade around and it almost hit my head.
"Hey, will you watch that thing?" 'She's going to poke my eye out!'
"Well, sorry, we just haven't been able to use them YET!"
"We will soon, don't worry. We're going to go help the youko, maybe we have to defeat something on the way there." Sora was trying to make us feel better.
"Good point." And that's all the brunette said.
"Then let's get going!" Meilin was getting mad.
"Fine, you don't have to yell." I pointed out.
(Schweppes: -sniff- Everyone left me!
Tsukasa: Not really, I'm forced to stay here.
Schweppes: Leave then! I'm not going to stop you anymore.
Tsukasa: -eyes light up- REALLY!
Schweppes: Why not?
Tsukasa: YIPEE! -runs out the door at full speed-
Meilin: -staring at the door- that was quick.
Schweppes: Sanosuke should come!
Meilin: You're obsessed.
Schweppes: So? You like a 10 year old! (Yahiko) -sticks out her tongue-
Meilin: And you're acting like one!
Schweppes: What else is new?
-A flash of light is seen in the distance-
Sanosuke: How'd I get here?
Schweppes: SANO!
Sanosuke: Wait, how do you know who I am?
Schweppes: Ummm... that's not important! -glomps Sanosuke- (let's just call him Sano now, I'm sick of writing his whole name)
Sano: LET GO OF ME! -pushes Schweppes off of him- Last thing I know, I was gambling with my old friends, then I was over here.
Meilin: We'll let you 2 talk, and get on with the fic.)
'We started our journey. Who knows if this will be a long, calm journey, or a short intensive walk. Either way, I'm sure we're going to have some fun.'
Kurama led us out of the apple orchard, everyone in tow. For a while it was just apples and trees. But when they stopped it was nothing but sand.
We walked for what seemed like hours, no way to tell if we were moving in circles or just standing still. The only thing that reminded me that I was still walking was the everlasting ache in my legs.
(Riku: Come on! You're making it seem like I'm a whimp!
Schweppes: I should have added that it's been hours.
Riku: That would help!
Meilin: Let's just get on with the fic already!
Sano: -knocking on Jack's head- Why's there a skeleton here?
Jack: My name's Jack, and I'm in the fic too! Now let go of my head.
Sano: Fine -lets go of Jack's head and watches him fall back-
Schweppes: The fic must go on!)
The desert was empty and dry, a cactus here and there, some weird little sand demons, but besides that, nothing. It was all just sand!
'I thought that the forest was bad! At least that had shade!'
Eventually we came to an oasis. The crystal water sparkled, and Sora's jaw dropped. I just stood there and stared at Sora, not realizing I was doing so. He had taken off his shirt, so he just stood there in his red shorts; his keyblade swung over his shoulder.
"Hey, Riku, you coming?" Meilin called out. I snapped out of the trance and went to the oasis.
Hiei almost immediately climbed into one of the palm trees, whilst everyone else went to get a drink, thirsty from their hike.
Kurama was at the other end of the little pond, a very serious look on his face, just staring out at the sand. He was sweating, probably from the intense heat, walking with his shirt hung open. There was what resembled the end of a sword sticking out.
'Wait, that's not a sword, that's a keyblade!'
I rushed over to the youko, "I know how you feel. I don't even know where my family is right now, Kairi and Sora are my only family. At one point I was locked in a room, unable to get out. If they were in trouble, I wanted to help them. But I wasn't even sure if they were, I was cut away from all reality."
"My family's in trouble right now, I want to help them. Hiei's the closest thing I have to family out here. It would be nice to see them again." Kurama's red hair swirled about as a slight breeze went by.
Sora's POV
#What's Riku doing by Kurama?#
I just stood there, staring at the two talking. A breeze went by and I watched as Riku's silvery hair blew about; the wind ruffling his clothes.
#It looks like Riku also took off his shirt. It's just so hot here!#
I was staring at him. He had changed his pants before he left. Now he wore a pair of baggy denim blue shorts. His keyblade was sitting back, leaning against a palm tree.
"Kairi, why do you like Riku so much?" Kairi blushed. Maybe I shouldn't have asked that question.
"I don't know. I just do, do I really need an answer?"
"No, sorry to bother you." I just walked away.
"Wait, Sora, I'll tell you."
"No, it's okay, I really don't need an answer." I leaned up against a tree.
Riku's POV
"Kurama, I think we should be going now." I insisted.
"Sure. Let's get everyone together." He turned to talk to Hiei, "We're going now, do you want to get everyone to continue on our journey?"
"Hn." And with that, Hiei jumped out of the tree and told everyone to go to Kurama.
Sora's POV
Hiei walked up to us, "We have to continue our journey, I hope you've had enough to drink."
"Why do we have to keep going?" Mayor asked. #He's probably not used to this type of stuff.#
"..." Hiei just stood there until satisfied that no one will need to be pushed along.
"I wonder why he doesn't take off his tunic. We're in the middle of the desert and he's wearing black." Meilin wondered in amazement.
"Maybe he isn't affected by heat. He is demon, after all, and demons can do really weird things." Schweppes hoped.
"You're wearing black too, aren't you hot?" Kairi asked Schweppes.
"Yeah, but at least I'm wearing shorts. Meilin, we've been here for a while, and I'm just realizing that you changed your clothes." #She doesn't seem to pay attention that often.#
"Gee, thanks for noticing." Meilin said in a sarcastic tone.
I left them and walked ahead to the demons and Riku.
