Winter: Hey there everyone and welcome to the next chapter of "Two Heads are Worse then One!"
Wisdom: In order to get the fanfic going the announcements will be at the end of the chapter.
Hiei: Winter doesn't own Yu Yu Hakusho. Autumn a.k.a Phantom Harmony belongs to Dreamchasereternity. Everything else belongs to Winter unless other wise stated.
Chapter Five: Skye:"Who are you and what do you want with me?" she demanded with her Spirit Energy rising up.
The cloaked figure struggled to her knees and smirked though no one could see the smirk.
"I am the one that should be asking you the questions," she said before disappearing.
Flash turned around to meet a kick at her ribs. Flash staggered back now aware that this person wanted something from her. Flash sent a punch to the rider but she only blocked it.
This went on for quiet some time. Punch left right, block, kick, jump back, block, swing up under. Kick. Flash went through all of the routines she knew but it seemed that her opponent knew them all.
"I'm getting tired of this," growled Hiei.
He jumped into the air with his katana pointed down at the rider. The rider looked up at him and moved out of the way but the end of her cloak was pinned to the ground by the blade. The cloth ripped to reveal her wings.
"She has wings," said Autumn.
"And a lion's tail," stated Yusuke. "But why is she attacking us?"
"Its simple," said Kurama. "We are in the Wind Mountains which is all of the Sky Lion's Tribe. It would only be natural for one of them to come and try to get us out."
"But the question is," said Flash. "Why send one who can't pick up a sword. The Sky Lion Tribe is known for the sword skills everyone there uses a sword but one demon."
The rider turned and looked at Flash the hood of the cloak still covered her eyes. Flash smirked knowing that she got the demons attention.
"That demon was cut down and near death. She survived because of Lioness. Since the demon could never pick up a sword again she resorted to the bow and arrow. It is good to see you again, Skye."
"So this is where you have been hiding all along?" she asked. "In a mere human's body, working for the monkey's song?"
Flash looked away from Skye. "You don't know what I've been going through."
Skye pulled the rest of her cloak off in anger. Her hair fell down. "What you've been going through?! What about us? What about your parents? What about your kingdom?"
"That part of my life is now over," said Flash walking away and picking up her sword only to have it turn back to her ring. "Go home Skye. And say you never saw me. It is better off that I stay dead."
Skye snorted. "Stay dead? Since when is the Lioness afraid of being found?" She walked up to her steed and mounted. "Fine, I will leave you alone but that wont stop others from knowing you are here. You are in your own kingdom. Others will come."
Flash didn't turn around and look at Skye she stared a head in front of her.
"Your not even the person I knew. You can't even look at my face anymore. What are you afraid of? The Lioness I knew was never afraid, she'd always look death in the eyes and laugh."
Before anyone could say anything else Skye turned Katanga around then galloped away down the trail. Skye's words run through Flash's head.
"Flash…?" asked Autumn gently coming up from behind her.
Flash looked back up ahead of her. "Come on, I want to go home as fast as I can."
Everyone exchanged glances for some reason everyone turned and stared at Hiei who glared at them before closing his eye with an 'hn' and grabbed his katana before following Flash.
Meanwhile:
Skye stormed back into her quarters steaming. She threw her bow and quiver hard onto her bed.
"LEO!!!!!!!!!" she yelled. "What until I get my hands on him! I'm going to skin him alive and hang the pelt on my wall!"
"What's all the yelling about?" questioned Leo sleepily walking into the room. "I was in the middle of my nap."
"How long have you known?" asked Skye glaring at him.
"Know what?" he asked yawning. "You'll have to be more specific just like you said my age is catching on to me."
Skye growled at him clenching her fists. "How long have you known that Lioness was in the body of a human?"
"About two years," answered the demon. "Why do you ask?"
"Stop playing dumb," snapped Skye. She started to pace the room. "You know that she is here on the mountains yet you don't even act on it."
"If she wanted to see me she would come here," Leo stated. "But she won't. If she wanted to come back she would've if she wanted to be found she would've. You finding her wasn't what she wanted."
Skye sighed and sat on her bed holding her head in her hands. "But why? Why won't she come back."
"To save everyone the pain," answered Leo. "If she was to suddenly come back demons from all over would be attacking our home. You know how much Lioness like to make 'friends'."
"But she acted like she hated me," sobbed Skye. "Like I was just some low class demon who tried to slay her."
Leo sighed. "You know she didn't want to hurt you like that."
"I know," sighed Skye.
"Get some rest young one," he scolded gently.
Skye nodded and waited for Leo to leave before she changed into her nightshirt. When she was done changing she sat on the end of her bed and looked down at her lap thinking.
"I don't know anymore," sighed Skye. "How she acted; like she didn't want to be here. But why?"
"Go home Skye. And say you never saw me. It is better off that I stay dead."
Skye shut her eyes closed tight and held her sides. A tear escaped her eye and ran down the side of her face landing on her scar. It felt cool and hot at the same time.
Meanwhile:
Flash sat in Indian style against a tree was her arms crossed across her chest and her eyes closed. "I still don't see why we have to stop."
"Flash we need to rest," said Kurama looking at her from across the fire they all sat around.
"I thought you were a demon fox," said Flash not opening her eyes.
Kurama was about to say something when Autumn leaned over and cupped her hand over his mouth.
"Harmony says not to bother," whispered the girl. "Lioness and Skye were very close before Lioness left the mountains."
Kurama looked at Autumn then Flash before nodding.
"I'm hungry," said Kuwabara.
"Kuwabara, we just ate," said Autumn.
"So that was an hour ago!" exclaimed the boy.
Everyone but Flash stared at Kuwabara who looked at them.
"What?!?" he cried at them.
About a moment of silence Flash growled obviously annoyed.
"Can we go now?" she asked.
"We all want to leave," came Hiei's cold up from the tree Flash was leaning against. "But we can't so suck up your pride and get over it."
"Your one to talk," snarled Flash opening her eyes and glaring at the fire demon who was glaring down at her.
Hiei jumped out of the tree facing Flash. "And what is that supposed to mean?" He voice was strict with venom.
Flash stood up to get eye level with the demon. "It means you're the one out of all of us who should suck up their pride and meet defeat. You always have to win and be the best, if anyway is stronger then you, you go on a hissy fit and train until you practically kill yourself doing so then try and kill that person!"
Hiei clenched his fist and growled at Flash. The others jumped up and grabbed the two before they started to kill each other.
"At least I don't treat my friends like crap like you did the demon before," growled Hiei through his teeth. It was obvious he was trying not to yell.
"You don't know what my story is Hiei!" screamed Flash struggling to get free from Autumn and Yusuke. "You don't know how much pain I go through every single goddamn day! You don't live my life so don't tell me what to do!"
Hiei didn't say anything. He stared at Flash as she ranted along with the others.
"I know I hurt Skye back there but what the hell am I supposed to do? I don't want the whole kingdom to know we are here! Do you know why?! Because if they did they would kill you! All of you! Only demons from these mountains are supposed to be here any other demon that walks on these mountains suffers a fate of death!! It doesn't matter if you work for Koenma! Trust me I know!"
"Flash…" began Autumn.
"No! Forget it!" said Flash pushing Autumn and Yusuke off of her.
She started to walk towards the forest. "I'm going for a walk, don't wait for me if I'm not back by sunrise…"
"Your just running away again!" yelled Hiei after her. "Your running away from your fears and what your supposed to do. Tell me!!!! How much longer are you going to run?!"
But it was too late Flash was already gone. Hiei threw Kurama and Kuwabara off of him and punched the tree out of anger making it slump over.
"Way to go Hiei," said Yusuke. "Should we follow her?"
"No," said Autumn but the voice had changed somewhat. It was Harmony talking. "Let her be."
Kurama kneeled down next to Hiei who was kneeling in front of the tree. "Are you alright?"
Hiei gave an angry hn before disappearing.
"Argh! Both of them! Gone again! I swear we need to but a tracking device on them!" cried Yusuke before falling over.
End Chapter:
Winter: Sorry for the wait, I started this chapter about a week ago but midterms just finished so that took up a lot of my time.
Announcement One: Dancing Dingos is having a short stories and poem contest so if you are interested go there, the link should be in my profile and if is not check Dreamchasereternity's profile. If you can't find it IM me on SenkoNoAnoAkari or Kokuryuuha600.
Announcement Two: Incase for whatever reason I failed a midterm it is likely my parents will take away the computer until my grades improve so updates might be even slower. But I promise to work on them by hand then type them when my folks aren't home if that case comes.
Announcement Three: If you read Dream's fanfics her net gave out for some odd reason but she has a chapter done and ready for uploading it is just saved on her computer and since she hasn't been on I don't know that chapter will be up. That same for the fanfic we've been writing together as well since the next chapter is saved on her computer.
I believe that's it.
Hiei: So review or else!
Wisdom: Please review!
Winter: AND MAY THE SPORKS BE WITH YOU!
