Chapter 2: Surprise Attack!

WindEmpress: I know, it's been nearly a month since I last updated and I'm sorry. I've been working on my other stories and forgot this one existed until Firestar yelled at me the other day.
Firestar: Yep, good old me!
WindEmpress: Yes, good old you. Anyhow, I hope you people aren't to mad about it, so if you aren't, do read the story
Firestar: What sort of stories have you been working on anyway? o.O AHH! Groudy!
WindEmpress: (Disturbed) Oh and the character's names are not pronounced the way they look. Keladay (Key-La-Day) and Leanna (Lee-on-a) Weird?
Firestar: Nopes.
WindEmpress: Quiet! (Smiles)

The seven weary spirit detectives climbed the stairs to the roof of the apartment, safe from any human interaction, along with the two girls they'd just met. Dawn had yet to arrive and it seemed that night would keep for the rest of the day. The stars glimmered in the shadowed skies along with the falcate moon giving enough light to see in the darkness.

As they reached the roof of the apartment, the squabble on who would fight first began. "Kurama, you and that . . . . perv over there can spar first; it would be interesting to see who would win that one," Yusuke said with a bit of amusement.

Keladay looked at Yusuke then began to growl like a dog when he smiled at her. "Who says I have to go first! Who died and made you the leader of us?" she asked rudely. She glowered at him with malevolence thoughts on how to kill him quietly. "And I would like to know why you would like to see us spar first anyway."

Yusuke smiled immorally, "By your behavior, it would look like you'd lose before you could even get within punching distance of Kurama and it would be funny to watch you do so."

Keladay bristled with anger, "Why don't I just take you down now and prove to all of you that I can spar and I can beat the crap out of Yusuke!" She made her way towards him, but Leanna moved in front of her.

"And what would that do, Keladay? Sure, you'd probably beat the living crap out of him ("What! I'm ten times better than her," he says behind her) but there would be no point to it. After you beat Kurama, I give you permission to make him suffer," she said sincerely with a smile. "Now, if you're finished arguing, I'd like to spar first," she said turning towards the open roof; Hiei followed behind her.

"Leanna, are you insane! You'll be dead in a . . . what's it called . . . oh. YOU'LL BE KILLED IN A MILLISECOND!" Keladay called to her cousin.

Leanna looked at her, "Boy, wasn't that a daft moment, Keladay. Don't worry, I pretty sure I won't die today, unless he has a reason to kill me." Before she turned away, she smiled at Keladay, almost a shrewd wicked smile of who-knows-what's-to-come.

"I'll bet you fifty dollars that Hiei will win," Yusuke said as Leanna walked towards the open roof.

Leanna flinched and gyrated around. "And what makes you think that?"

Yusuke smiled again, "Hiei isn't exactly the nicest person to battle with."

She smirked, "I'll keep that in mind when I'm fighting."

Kurama turned to Koenma, "This may not be the wisest idea, Koenma. Possibly, you could call it off and let them fight C class demons; they have yet to even near completion of their training-"

"There's a long history here, Kurama," Koenma interrupted. "Their altered blood isn't something that occurs everyday. There's much more to their story."

Kurama looked at him, "And being the person you are, you won't tell us, will you."

Koenma didn't acknowledge him; instead, he watched Leanna and Hiei as they walked away from them to keep anyone from being wounded.

"Okay, you're going down!" Leanna said a bit too arrogantly.

"Yeah, Shorty," Keladay called from the other side. Leanna scolded her for her stupidity again only to get Keladay to stick her tongue out at her. Such immaturity! Leanna thought as she turned back to Hiei, who looked rather annoyed.

"Heh, heh . . . I don't suppose you're going to be nice about it?"

Hiei looked at her blatantly, "No, what the hell made you think that?"

"Heh, heh . . . just wanted to be sure." As fast as Leanna could allow herself, she charged forward.

WindEmpress: I'm having a burn out right now. Please don't kill me, I just got back from vacation and my creativity has dropped down to nothing.
Firestar: You've been gone a week and a half!
WindEmpress: I know, and people need to know what's going on. Sorry. I'll talk to FIRESTAR and we can start from there. Later to y'all!
