A/N: Heh, to the one person that wrote "…And please don't take so long this time" For the updating, I am being very sincere about this and I hope that person understands that I don't have all the time in the world. I have a life, lol. And I'm pretty busy nowadays. Hope you understand! Ja-ne!
Ah, yes, and I won't be online from August 21st to August 27th. This is because I'm camping! Hope to see the bright side of this. Enjoy!
Chapter 11: Clashes of Immortality
Genkai's Temple…
"Wake up lovebirds!" Yusuke kicked Kurama awake.
Kurama jumped up in surprise, starting Kagome.
"How long has it been?" Kagome asked, yawning cutely.
"Around 10 minutes, now get up, we've got things to do" Yusuke said rudely.
Kurama stood up and stared blankly at all the faces.
"So…?" Kahyi questioned.
"Huh?" Kagome said in return.
"What do you mean 'Huh?' we've planned out you're wedding!" Botan blurted out.
Kurama and Kagome sweat dropped.
"We need a HUG of this occasion" Kuwabara exclaimed excitedly. He lunged forward, arms spread out wide, running to Kurama.
Kurama's eyes went wide and stepped aside from the coming baka.
BAM
Kuwabara landed eagle arms wide out, face flat against the wall.
The group cringed.
"So sorry, I don't hug guys" Kurama commented.
"Hey, where are Inuyasha and Kikyo?" Yusuke asked.
"How should I know? I just woke up" Kagome replied.
"Good point"
"I think they left" Miroku said plainly.
"Oh, yes! He told us that he didn't want to become involved with this situation and didn't care for the 'brat' anyway. I assume he was referring to Shippo and he left to Kyoto with Kikyo last night. He's not coming back" Genkai explained.
"Why that little arrogant…jerk!" Sango shouted.
"Such a disgrace!" Kahyi agreed.
"Hn, he never really was helpful in the first place," Hiei stated.
"He's actually done a lot. But anyways, the likes of you wouldn't understand" Kagome shot, sticking her tongue out.
"Don't stick your tongue out at me unless you plan to loose it"
"I'd like to see you try" she snorted.
"Why you…"
He shot forward, unsheathing his sword, with intentions to pin her to the wall.
With speed that rivaled even the gods, she drew out her lily, tapped it and blew powder in his face, paralyzing him.
He was shocked.
Everyone else just stood there blankly. Not one being had done that before.
Kyoshi recovered first, bursting into a fit of giggles. Kohaku followed, roaring with laughter.
If looks could kill, they'd all be dead with Hiei's glare by now.
Yusuke smirked, "Someone finally past your league, ne?"
"Shut up"
"…This is very interesting" Kurama chuckled while embracing Kagome and patted her on the back for her good work.
Everyone else was laughing too, well of course, except Kuwabara, who was out cold from the impact against the wall. He looked ridiculous.
A loud ring then interrupted their musings.
Yusuke opened up his communicator, "What's up toddler?"
"I'm not a toddler! Anyways, we have information on the whereabouts of Shippo!"
"Spit it out!" Kagome now seemed demanding.
"Well it's in northern Makai in the-"
The roof collapsed on them, sending shingles and drywall flying.
"Great, I have to call construction again" Genkai grumbled, "What now?"
Quickly, Kagome reversed the effects of the paralyzing powder and Hiei scowled and stood up, preparing for battle.
"I am Sormiko, sorceress of ice! Karasu-I mean Tamaru told me to exterminate some of you guys!"
"Fool! You just revealed some secrets!" Another figure emerged from the hole in the roof. It was Shinki.
"Did not!"
She sighed, "Whatever, let's just get this over with"
Shinki took out a katana and launched at the kids. Kagome reacted quickly, snapping a barrier up and blowing her out. She came back in, burnt and bloody, wobbling with an effort to stand and resume fighting.
Sormiko took out 2 kodachis and threw one like a spear at Botan. Caught of guard, it nicked her in the hard. She flinched.
He then ran towards Sango, last kodachi raised.
Being without her boomerang, she did the only thing she could think.
With him being a foot away from her, she unsheathed her dagger, and swung it at Sormiko, striking him in the stomach. He lurched forward.
"Retreat!" Sormiko cried out.
"Got it!" With everyone's attention on Sango, they opened a portal.
"Hold on a second there!" Miroku yelled.
"Stay behind me kids!" Yusuke shouted, reaching his arms back to push them, "Huh?"
They turned towards the escaping Shinki and Sormiko to see a drugged Kyoshi and Kohaku being dragged into the vortex and disappeared.
"Kohaku/Kyoshi!" Sango/Kagome cried out.
Feeling as if they failed, they dropped to their knees.
"I'll survey the damage later, we've got to get to Koenma!" Genkai called out.
"Roger that!" Botan shouted back, opening a portal. They warily trudged in.
Koenma's Office…
"Oh! I saw it all on screen!" Koenma cried out.
"And the toddler was too scared to be of any help" Yusuke growled.
"…" Kahyi said.
Kagome and Sango were silent. Heads bowed down, they sat in the shadows, refusing to meet anyone's eyes.
"Err…"
Kuwabara recovered from unconsciousness, "Eh, what happened?"
Everyone except Hiei, Kagome, and Sango fell anime style.
"Eh…?"
"Never mind" Genkai sighed,
"Oh dear, we've got a dilemma" Koenma said.
"And you just realized that…?" Kurama asked.
"Anyways, I think I've found the location of their hideout" He started, pausing, then continued, "It's located in northern Makai, deep in the forest and this 'Tamaru' guy is really Karasu, I've been led to assume. I know, you destroyed him in the dark tournament, but it's very possible that he's alive right now"
Everyone sat there in shocked silence.
"Inuyasha and Kikyo are gone. Shippo, Kyoshi, and Kohaku are most likely at the hideout. That leaves only Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Kurama, Yusuke, Hiei, Botan, and Genkai" Kahyi said.
"HEY! What about ME?"
"Ehh...?"
Kuwabara got pissed out and threw a punch at him.
Kahyi surprisingly dodged with ease, making him miss and slam into the floor, knocking him out cold again.
"I didn't mention him because he doesn't seem as much help at all"
The group nodded their heads in agreement.
"Well, I think it would be best if you guys left tomorrow morning. You should get some rest, avoiding the fallen ceiling. We'll take care of that, Genkai. Build up some strength for tomorrow, you'll need it"
"Yes" Kurama sighed.
"Let's get going now. We need as much preparation time as possible.
Sango and Kagome were still non-responsive.
He sighed, "And by the looks of it, they will be lifeless dolls for the rest of the night" he commented, referring to the two girls in the shadows.
"Meet here tomorrow!" Koenma called out.
"Hai, tomorrow…" Miroku finished.
Author! Yay, next! So ya, I won't be here for the next week, don't weep lol I'll be hopefully up and running after that. Ja-ne!
