Winter: Hey there everyone and welcome to the next chapter of "Two Heads are Worse then One!"
Wisdom: Winter would like to apologize for the wait. But it may take longer now that she has school tomorrow.
Winter: I don't wanna go :cries:
Hiei: Is that the place where you are forced to go at the ass crack of dawn and stay there for six hours forced to eat this so called food and listen to teachers who like to hear themselves talk?
Winter: Yeap. That's the place.
Hiei: Oh…:points and laughs:
Winter:Bites his finger:
Hiei: Itai! Let go!
Winter: Not until you do the disclaimer!
Hiei: Grrr. Winter doesn't own Yu Yu Hakusho. Autumn a.k.a Phantom Harmony belongs to Dreamchasereternity. Everything else belongs to Winter unless otherwise said.
Winter: ON WITH THE CHAPTER!
Hiei: …I'M BLEEDING?
Chapter Seven: Apologies are Rare with Stubborn Demons:
Kurama was looking around from their camp. Yusuke and Kuwabara were still asleep. Autumn was poking the two sleeping human's with a stick. She poked Yusuke in the ribs. There was a dying coughing noise then his tongue rolled out of his mouth.
"Ew," said Autumn. "Kura Kura-chan! It died."
Kurama looked over to see Autumn pointing at Yusuke with the stick.
"Autumn don't poke people with sticks when they are sleeping," scolded Kurama gently. "It isn't nice."
"Aw man," pouted Autumn.
"No its okay Autumn. Poke them as much as you want," said Flash coming through the trees with Skye following.
"YEY!" squealed Autumn then continued to poke the humans.
Kurama glared at Flash. "I wish you wouldn't do that."
Flash smiled innocently at him. "Me? I wouldn't do anything."
Skye hid a chuckle behind her hand. "Your just like her."
"Well she is in my head twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, 365 and a quarter days of the year," said Flash with a shrug. "Your Skye right?"
Skye nodded and bowed. "Skye daughter of Simba and Hope. Heir to the High House of The Sky Lion Tribe and future Stewardess of the Kingdom."
Kurama bowed lowly. "I am Kurama and that is Autumn." He pointed to Autumn over by Yusuke and Kuwabara.
"Hiya lion lady!" said Autumn cheerfully.
"The two sleeping there is Yusuke and Kuwabara," said Flash moving some hair from her eyes.
Skye nodded. "But what should I call you? Surely you have a name other then Lioness."
"Uh just call me Flash," she responded.
Flash tossed an amulet to Kurama he caught it and gave Flash a questioning look. Flash tossed one to Autumn who caught it in her mouth and gave a muffled bark.
"They're amulets to hide our energy from other lion demons," answered Flash dropping the rather heavy amulets on Yusuke and Kuwabara's head to wake them up.
"OW MY HEAD!" they both screamed sitting up.
Both glared up at her who smiled brightly and gave a peace sign. Yusuke jumped up.
"That's it you!" he said. "Running off leaving us here then dropping something heavy on my head! Your going up!"
"Argh!" screamed Flash running away from Yusuke and hiding behind Kurama. "Stay away!"
Kurama moved out of the way for Yusuke despise the many protests from Flash.
"You brought it upon yourself," said the red head.
"How could you?" asked Flash shocked. "You, you, you traitor!"
Yusuke snuck up behind Flash and whipped his arms around her abs and picked her up high spinning around. Flash squealed and clung onto Yusuke's neck accidentally digging her long nails into his flesh.
Skye's eyes danced in amusement as she watched Flash get spun around in the air screaming a long stream of curses and threats at the black haired boy.
Many threats, curses and bleeding later Flash had gotten out of Yusuke's grasp and retreated to the other side of the camp and pointed at the amulets.
"Put those on or I'll kill you," she told the two human boys.
Both quickly put the amulets on and glanced at each other nervously. Skye had taken a seat by the ashes from last night's fire.
"Wasn't there another male with you?" she asked Flash.
Her four friends looked at her. Flash glared at them.
"Alright, alright," she groaned getting up. "I'll go find him."
She got up and left the camp through the trees.
"That was easy," said Kuwabara.
"Yes but finding and apologizing is two different things," said Kurama.
"Two very different things when it comes to these two," said Yusuke.
The four heaved a sigh and took a seat around the fire.
"Maybe you can help us," Kurama said to Skye. "We are looking for two artificial bracelets that Koenma sent us to find. He said that Lioness hid them in a cave somewhere. I think it was near the river."
Skye crossed her arms deep in thought. "There is a cave in one of the small mountains. Unfortunately there are two that are close to the river."
"You don't know which one?" asked Yusuke.
Skye shook her head. "It's been along while since I've traveled through my kingdom. I've been locked away in my room chained to books of our history and records. Once I pass the Ordeal to become the Stewardess I will be traveling through to see what needs to have my attention."
"That's stupid," said Yusuke. "If you are going to come into rule then you should know about the land before. That way as soon as you are in charge you can change it right away."
"Yusuke!" scolded Kurama.
Skye held up a hand to silence Kurama. "The human is right," she said to him then turned to Yusuke. "Until my King and Queen pass away I have to do what they order me to. To be in all honest truth I'm not even supposed to be here."
"But can't you just explain that to them?" asked Yusuke.
Skye shook her head. "Speaking to the King like that would be very rude in our terms."
Yusuke crossed his arms and frowned.
Meanwhile:
Flash bushed her way through some bushes. "If I was a stubborn fire demon in lion's territory where would I be," she asked herself.
'Go straight, the air smells fouler there,' said Lioness.
"I hope he didn't hear that," said Flash going straight. "If he did it will be my head to meet his katana."
After a while of walking Flash stopped and looked around scratching her head.
"Okay I'm lost," she sighed. "Send me a sing a clue anything?"
Clunk"Ow!" yelped Flash rubber her head.
An acorn had it her on the head. She scanned the treetops. She spotted a small bird that resembled a lion. It had sun colored feathers along with gold ones, its head was the shape of a hawk. It had two lion eyes on top of its head and a lion's tail and paws. On it's back were two hawk wings that matched the colored feathers of his body. It screeched at a black-cloaked figure with spiked hair.
"Hiei! Leave him alone!" said Flash.
"No onna," growled Hiei taking out his katana. "It helped you find me."
"Oh woe is you then," said Flash coolly.
The odd creature took up into the air and flew down and landed at Flash's feet. It screeched but lower this time and put its paws up on Flash's legs. Its sharp nails dug into her shins.
"Ack, ow that hurts," said Flash trying to move away.
"Just let me kill it onna," growled Hiei jumping out of the tree.
"Hiei you can't just go around killing everything that annoys you," said Flash kneeling down.
The creature looked up at her with sun blazing eyes. It gave a low screech as if talking to her.
"And why not," questioned the fire demon.
"Because if that was the case everything in all of the worlds would be dead," answered Flash coolly.
Hiei crossed his arms and looked away. "Hn."
"Your not so bad," Flash said to the creature. "Side from the sharp claws and teeth," answered Flash as she went to pet it but her hand met with sharp teeth.
Hiei turned and watched her and the odd creature.
"No," she told it firmly.
The creature screeched in objection.
"I don't care," Flash told it firmly. "You obey your elders."
The bird screeched in another objection. Flash sighed. "A rude one aren't you?"
She stood up taking the creature in her arms. It stayed still watching things from this new angle. It spotted Hiei and gave an angry screech at him. Hiei glared at it.
Flash rolled her eyes and tossed Hiei one of the amulets that hung around her neck. "Put it on, it will mask your presence."
Hiei nodded and placed it around his neck. "I except your apology."
Flash raised an eyebrow. "What apology? I don't own you and apology. If anything you owe me one."
"I do not," said Hiei is voice slightly rising. "You're the one that snapped at me!"
"And you snapped at me!" yelled Flash.
"I did no such thing!" growled Hiei.
Flash pointed an accusing finger at Hiei as the bird like creature perched on her shoulder digging his claws into the skin slightly to stay balanced he also expanded his wings.
"You did too!" yelled Flash. "I'd never apologize to you! You don't deserve one!"
Hiei growled and glared at the accusing finger before pushing it out of his way. "You should know your place onna!"
"I know my place," yelled Flash. "Its above jerks like you!"
Flash stormed off through the forest. The creature screeched in protest when he almost fell of her shoulder. Hiei growled and paced the forest floor in anger before storming off after Flash wanting to get this mission over with.
Flash stormed back into the camp in outrage. "THE NERVE OF HIM!"
Everyone looked up at her as she stomped over to her pack and squatted down and looked through her pack. The creature jumped off of her shoulder and started to look around as he walked.
"Who wants to risk their head of asking what happened?" asked Yusuke.
"Well naturally I volunteer Kuwabara!" chirped Autumn.
Kurama sighed, Skye looked puzzled and Autumn and Yusuke looked at Kuwabara.
Kuwabara looked at the angered girl nervously. "Um what happened?"
"He think I apologized to him!" answered Flash in range.
She pulled out some alcohol and bandages.
"You did, didn't you?" asked Kurama.
"No," said Flash. "Why would I? He is the one that should apologize to me."
Kurama opened his mouth to say something but his three friends lunged across to cover his mouth.
"Best stay out with this Kura Kura-chan," said Autumn.
"The crazy one is right," mumbled Yusuke. "She looks moments away from tearing off some heads."
Flash took some gauze and dumped some alcohol on in then began to clean out the marks from the creature. The creature screeched loudly crying for attention. The five victims of the angered teen looked down at it.
"What is that ugly thing?" asked Yusuke grabbing a stick and started to poke at it.
The creature expended its wings again and grabbed the end of the stick with its beak of sharp teeth pulling it out of the boy's hands.
"Well bless my soul it's a Lorigriff," said Skye.
"A what's a what?" asked Yusuke.
A Lorigriff," answered Skye. "It's a member of the Griffin family."
"Is that why it is so ill tempered?" questioned Flash trying to stop the bleeding from her wounds.
Yusuke mumbled a comment about Flash and the creature being the same but no one seemed to hear.
"I suppose," said Skye. "This one is still a baby. Where did you find it?"
"It was annoying Hiei and he tried to kill it," said Flash. "Anyway do what you want with it. I have no desire to be shredded up by that thing of feathers."
The Lorigriff screeched at Flash expanding his wings again.
"Oh you know its true," said Flash. "You're an over crown feather duster."
The Lorigriff waddled over to Flash standing on his back legs flapping his wings to keep balance. It gave a loud angry screech. Flash grabbed it by the scruff and held it at eye level.
"Listen you," she said. "I have no desire to play 'watch the feather duster' if you want to stay with us you shut up, eat what we give you and only make those two bakas and that annoying fire demon bleed."
"Hey!" said Yusuke and Kuwabara.
The Lorigriff glared at Flash before nipping her hand making her drop him. Flash sighed in frustration then began to clean out the new present.
He waddled over to Skye and looked up at her giving a low screech. She smiled and patted him on the head avoiding the claws and teeth.
"So you don't know where your parents are?" she asked it. "And you aren't from the palace." She turned to Flash. "Best be careful, if his parents are still alive they won't be happy to smell human blood on their offspring,"
"Oh joy," mumbled Flash.
Just then Hiei walked into the camp. Him and Flash stared at each other for a moment before turning away. Hiei hopped into a near by tree.
Kurama sighed and got up. "Flash when your done dressing your wounds we will get going. Skye narrowed our search down to two mountains."
Flash didn't give a response. This meant a "whatever I don't feel like talking," from Flash.
The others got up to pack up their stuff.
