Hello minna-san! Did you like the last chapter? I did, personally, because Setsunei beating the snot out of Hiei. Anyway, let's recap from the last chapter. Setsunei became acquainted with a mysterious raven-haired boy who was appearing in her dreams. She got a new sword that shows up every once in a while. Told a little bit of her past and (this is my fave part!) beat Hiei up for getting on her last nerve. In this chapter we meet two more guardians and there's a new enemy to face. And the two are silently keeping and eye on our lovable Setsunei. So, let's be on with the chapter!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the characters out of the Yu Yu Hakusho cast or Every Heart by BoA. I do own Setsunei, Ayame, Sasumi, and Takeshi
------------------------
-----Chapter 3: Demon thieves, Living shadows, and Gigantic Swords-----
Setsunei was walking around for a good2 1/2hours, become more doubtful by the second, that she'd ever find a new place to stay.
This is getting ridiculous. I'm never going to find a place to stay and I'm going to have wind up sleeping outside!
She searched up, down, and around Tokyo and didn't see any empty buildings that weren't being torn down for construction. She looked around and it was getting dark. She saw several of Takeshi's cronies and thought it was time to leave. She settled on staying at the park where she met Hiei.
I should've never told him. It's pointless to tell someone a secret if they won't keep it. Why the hell did I tell him? My God, my life is complicated.
Setsunei climbed up into a tree and set her backpack down on the branch. She looked at the starry midnight blue sky and watched as the sky poured rain. She kept her focus on a single leaf that was dripping rainwater. She slowly went to sleep staring at that single leaf, oblivious to the events soon to come
------------------
"Ayame! Get the one behind you!"
"Got it!"
Two girls were fending off several creatures which resembled shadows of several different people. One girl was obviously a neko youkai with auburn hair tied in two ponytails by jingle bells with neko ears and a tail the same color as her hair, claws poking out of tanish-yellow gloves, a yellow bikini top-like shirt, dark olive green shorts, and liquid amber colored eyes. The other was a girl with raven black hair, a pink tank top with black stripes, baggy midnight blue jeans, a gigantic sword that looked a little bit bigger than she was, and had emerald green eyes. Setsunei was sleeping during part of the fight and was completely oblivious to it, until the ningen girl with the huge sword cut the tree down while trying to chase down the "shadow". Setsunei was falling along with the tree, still sleeping through about half of the fall.
I feel like I'm falling…
Setsunei's eyes fluttered open and she looked down.
Wait a second… I am falling!
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh!" she screamed as she was falling.
"Sasumi! Get the girl!"
The girl with the sword, dashed to retrieve Setsunei. She caught her just before she hit the ground, put her upright on her feet, and went back to join the neko youkai fighting. It took a moment for Setsunei to register what was happening at the moment. First there was the fact that she had been falling without notice. Then there are the two girls, and the simple fact of where the heck those shadows came from.
"You! Girl! Get out of the way!" screamed the raven haired girl
Setsunei didn't appreciate being given orders to move when she could fight as well as any other person. Or the fact that they were interrupting her sleep.
"Why the hell should I listen to you! I can fight just as well as you without a weapon!"
"Just move! You'll get in the way!" shouted back the raven haired girl.
"No!"
"You'll get hurt!"
"No I won't!"
Setsunei joined in battle and beat down all of the remaining shadows that were in the area with her bare hands. When she finished taking out her rage on the shadows, the two other girl were stunned, jaws dropped.
"What? Never seen a girl fight before? Or have you never seen one angry?" said Setsunei with pure innocence in her tone of voice.
The neko youkai giggled silently and said, "Yes I have. My name's Ayame. And this is my friend Sasumi."
Ayame received a glare from Sasumi and continued, "You're a skilled fighter. And I'm sorry for sayin' that you'd get in the way… But we need to ask you a question…"
"What?"
"Do you know who Setsunei Kujiradou is? We need to talk to her." said Sasumi dully.
"Yeah."
"Could ya tell us where she is?"
"She doesn't want to be bothered. But I could give her the message."
"You would? Really?"
"Sure. Why not?"
"Arigato… Um I never got your name…"
Setsunei was looking at billboards and what was currently being displayed in stores. She eyes a strategy guide for Final Fantasy X and it told about Rikku's overdrive, Mix. It seemed like a pretty good cover name so she decided to use it.
"My name? Um… It's Rikku…"
"Rikku, huh?"
"Yeah."
"Well, tell her that-"
Ayame elbowed Sasumi squarely in the ribs. Ayame received another glare from Sasumi and continued where Sasumi left off.
"We'd like a personal audience with her, if you don't mind. I've heard that she doesn't like talking much to anyone, but we'd like her to make an exception. Is that alright Rikku-san?"
"… I'll see what I can do…"
"Arigatou. Now can you show us where Yusuke Urameshi lives?" Ayame chuckled lightly and continued, "As you can see, we're new in Japan. In a matter of fact, we're new in Ningenkai as well!"
Setsunei paused with her answer.
If Yusuke sees me… He'll let out that I'm Setsunei. I don't want more people bothering me right now, and he'll just ruin it all! If I just show them where, and leave before he shows up… That'll work to my advantage.
"Rikku?"
Setsunei snapped her head up to Sasumi and gave them her answer, "Yeah, alright. I'll show you to where he lives."
------------------------
After 2½ hours of silence they finally arrived at Yusuke's house.
"Well, this is where I leave you. Sayonara."
"Aren't you going to stay?" asked Sasumi.
"No, I have things to do. I'll be seeing you."
Setsunei turned and ran to get out of their sight before Yusuke showed up. She was curious why they wanted to talk to her. She looked up and the sky poured rain again. She stood still for a moment watched the rain fall onto her face. She saw the doorknob turn ever so slightly and she set off behind the building underneath the window so no one could see her. She knew it was far too late for her to run away so she hid and waited there until she heard a soft click signaling that the door had shut. She inched away from the window and ran away from the house. After about twenty minutes she remembered that she had left her backpack at the park. Her eyes widened because of the prospect of anyone stealing her things and she dashed towards the direction of the park.
My things! If anyone steals them, I swear…
She ran as fast as she could to get her backpack and other miscellaneous stuff from the park. She got there in half the time it took to take Ayame and Sasumi to Yusuke's house. She stopped and came face to face with more shadows.
"Ugh, Not again!"
She took them on head on and managed to take down half of their numbers. She was moving faster than usual because she wanted to get it over with. She stopped and noticed something.
There's something wrong here…
Their numbers weren't going down at all. In a matter of fact there was double than the original amount.
Great… I have to take these all down myself… and they just keep coming back… How in the right mind am I gonna' take them all down…?
She just charged in and fought blindly. She didn't know what to do and she cursed at her only option.
I'll just have run and hope they leave…
"Sorry guys, but I'll have to depart from this lovely battle for our lives we're having here." She ran as fast she could and stopped to catch her breath. She looked back and they were still following her.
"Dammit! Can't you guys get a hobby or something!"
She backed up and heard a soft snoring sound above her. She looked up and caught a glimpse of Hiei's black cloak.
I could just borrow his katana for a little while…
She jumped up and caught the branch nearest to her. She swung herself up and looked across at the sleeping Hiei. She jumped to the branch directly above him and hung upside down from it. She reached for his katana and something caught her hand.
"What do you think you're doing." said Hiei with purple and red still around his eye.
"The bruise is still noticeable." She said snickering, "Listen, I need to borrow your katana."
"Why?"
"You want to know why?"
She grabbed his head and shoved downward making him look down at the shadows trying to get to get up the tree.
"That's why!"
While Hiei was distracted she snatched his katana and jumped and started fighting again. She sliced one down the middle and immediately turned around to fight the shadow behind her. She jumped up and impaled one in the center and spun around killing more of them that were surrounding her. She ducked under another one's blow and flipped herself upright. She hit the one attacking her and eventually killed them all. She wiped sweat out her face and gave a relieved sigh. She fell backwards because of the weight of the katana.
"Apparently, I didn't realize the weight of the katana because I was so determined to kill those damned shadows!" she said chuckling to herself.
Like Ayame and Sasumi, Hiei looked down with his mouth ajar.
I didn't know she was so powerful…
She rose to her feet and brushed herself off.
"At least they didn't get a hand on-"
She stopped abruptly and stared at her open backpack. Her food and water was gone and all that was left was her clothes.
"Iiya!"
She ran to gather what remained of her stuff and jammed it all in her backpack. She was really mad now.
"Whoever was thestupid little bastardthat thought this was a good idea to do this… is dead! You hear me? Dead!"
She picked up her backpack and wandered over to the water. She looked into the water and took out a water bottle and filled it up. She looked over at the nearby tree and decided it was time to take out her rage on something. She ran over to the tree and began practicing her skills on it. She felt cool metal on her arms and mentally slapped herself on the back of her head. She slid out a couple of daggers that she had hidden in her sleeves. She caught them in her hands and started hacking and slicing at the tree. She brought it down in a few hits and moved out of the way before it could crash down upon her. She saw something fall out of the tree and moved a little too far back. She fell into the water and struggled to get to the surface. Ayame, Sasumi and Hiei crashed to the ground a little dazed from the fall.
"I didn't think she could bring down that whole tree!" Sasumi shrieked
"You saw what she did to those shadows!" Ayame retorted
Their eyes flew to the splashing in the water and recognized it as Setsunei fighting to breathe.
"Oh Kami! She can't swim!"
Ayame jumped in to rescue the drowning Setsunei. Setsunei was barely keeping conscious and she didn't have the energy to go back up either. Just before she passed out she saw Ayame grabbing hold of her and pulling her to the surface.
Oh great… More guardians…
Ayame pulled her to shore and set Setsunei on her back. Ayame held her hand in front of her mouth and nose. She wasn't breathing. Sasumi was punching her in the chest to get the water out of her lungs, but it wasn't working.
"Ayame, it's not working!"
"Well try something else!"
"I'm not doin' mouth to mouth!"
"Don't look at me!"
They both turned her head to Hiei, who was leaning against the trunk. He looked at them who had small but noticeable smirks plastered on their faces.
"Don't even think about it."
Sasumi and Ayame grabbed Hiei and pulled him over.
"Hiei, unless you want to die and everyone else around you… then I suggest you cooperate."
"You do it."
"C'mon, Hiei, she'll never know it was you."
"No."
"Besides, Sasumi and I aren't going to do it because we're girls."
"No."
She shrugged her shoulders and said, "I guess we'll have to do this the hard way… Sasumi, now!"
She shoved Hiei down on all fours over Setsunei and Sasumi then held his arms and legs in place while Ayame had him by his hair. She shoved his head down and his mouth was covering hers. Ayame punched him in the stomach and he coughed air into her mouth. She did this a couple more times until her eyes fluttered open and found Hiei's lips over hers. Setsunei's eyes widened and she smacked him across the face. She backed away and stared at them.
"Wha- What the hell do you think you're doing!"
"Saving your life." Ayame said, resisting the temptation to laugh out loud.
"That- was – so – funny!"
Ayame and Sasumi burst out laughing and Setsunei glared at them.
"I was better off drowning…" Setsunei said quietly to herself.
"Oh come on, Setsunei, that was pretty funny." said Ayame, patting her on the shoulder.
"Not from my perspective." Setsunei and Hiei said simultaneously.
Setsunei glared the three and rose to her feet.
"I'm going home."
"I heard that you no longer have a home." Ayame said calmly
"I don't care."
"It's not safe."
"So."
"You need a safer place to stay."
"I can take care of myself."
"How many near death experiences have you had?"
"This one was your fault."
"You still can't take care of yourself very well."
"Yes I can."
"No you can't."
"Yes I can."
"No you can't."
"Yes I can."
"No you can't."
"Yes I can!"
Ayame sighed and picked her up and slung her over her shoulder.
"H-Hey! Put me down!"
"No."
"Now!"
"No."
"Now!"
"No."
"NOW!"
"No."
"Iie!"
Ayame, Sasumi, and Hiei ran to Kurama's house with a screaming Setsunei.
-----------------------------------------
They all arrived at Kurama's house minutes later and silently knocked on the door. He answered it and motioned them to come inside.
"So you finally managed to catch the elusive Setsunei." Kurama joked
"Shut it, kitsune." Setsunei said coldly
"Someone's angry." said Yusuke
"Well, duh, I'm angry!"
"Why?" asked Kuwabara
"I'd rather not talk about it."
"Oh come on!" pleaded Kuwabara and Yusuke at the same time
"No… Can I leave yet?"
"No!" they chorused
"Every time you go on your own… something bad happens to you." said Kurama coolly
"Not true. Until you guys walked into my life… I was fine."
"What about that guy who tried to kidnap you?" said Yusuke
"I've dealt with it more than once, and every time he does capture me… I always get away. Besides, that's none of your business, so butt out."
There was a long pause.
"If you want me to stay here so badly… I will… As long as I have room of my own…"
"We can't trust you with that, Setsunei. Someone would have to stay in there with you." said Ayame tranquilly
"Oh come on!"
"Sorry, but we can't trust you."
"I will not run!"
"Gomen nasai, Setsunei, but someone's gonna' be watching you from now on." said Sasumi
"Who's going to do it?" inquired Kurama
"Not me!" said Sasumi
"I can't." said Ayame
"I will!" said Yusuke, but was elbowed in the side by Kurama, "I mean, no."
"I don't think it's a good idea." interjected Kuwabara
"No." said Hiei
"Well, that means I won't be watched by anyone…"
"Wait! I have an idea!" piped up Sasumi
"What is it?" questioned Kurama
"We could draw straws and whoever draws the tallest straw, has to watch Setsunei."
"Alright." Everyone except Setsunei and Sasumi said at the same time.
Sasumi grabbed some straws and cut of the ends of all of the straw except one. She dashed back into the living room and held out her hand full of straws.
"Okay! Everyone pick one!"
"How do we know you didn't cheat in some way?" inquired Hiei
"How could I? If you have some vague idea… please tell me!"
He was silent and everyone drew a straw from Sasumi's hand. Everyone seemed somewhat petrified with terror of who drew the tallest straw.
"O-Okay everyone, show your straw…"
Sasumi and Ayame sighed with relief because they had drawn a short straw. So did Kuwabara and Kurama. Everyone was tense. It was either going to be Yusuke or Hiei that would be keeping watch over Setsunei while she was there. A bead of sweat rolled down Setsunei's face over the worry that one of them would constantly be keeping watch over her.
Why me…? I never tried to do anything wrong…sort of...And I never wanted this stupid pendant… All I want is to know who I am… and maybe someone to trust- BUT THAT'S IT! I don't want someone stalking me for the time I have this pendant!
They each held out their hands and Yusuke… had the shorter straw.
"IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAA!No! No! No! No! No! This can't be right! I don't want him watching me! Notthat damned hentai!"
"Hentai? He has no interest in women… does he?" Kurama asked
Everyone turned their heads to Hiei, who was sitting on the windowsill with an agitated look on his face. Sasumi and Ayame were about ready to laugh out loud due to the hilarious incident.
"Want us to explain to you all?" Ayame said, biting back a laugh.
"Yeah!" Yusuke and Kuwabara said at once
"No!" chorused Setsunei and Hiei
"Okay," Sasumi shrugged her shoulder and began, "Setsunei was obviously mad for some odd reason and she began attacking the tree we were in. She was punching and kicking it at first until she slid out some daggers from inside her sleeves and started cutting the tree down. I, Ayame, and Hiei didn't think she could take the tree down, but she proved us wrong…"
"You mean she took the whole tree down by herself!"
"Yup. And she moved out of the tree's way, but not out of our way. She backed up too far and fell into the water and she can't swim."
Everyone looked at Setsunei. She glared at them and they turned their attention back to Sasumi.
"Ayame pulled her out, but she passed out from lack of air. I punched at her chest, but she wouldn't come out of it. Ayame and Sasumi argued about who would do mouth to mouth and we both agreed on Hiei doing it. He of course said no, but we had already prepared for the situation. Ayame and me both grabbed Hiei and put him on all fours over Setsunei. I held him in place over Setsunei so he couldn't get away and Ayame shoved his head down over Setsunei's mouth."
Everyone's jaw dropped and Setsunei and Hiei turned a particular shade of red so pale that no one could see it.
"Ayame punched him in the stomach so he'd put air in her lungs. She did this a few more times and Setsunei found Hiei 'kissing' her when she woke up. She got really mad and she slapped him across the face. She backed away and looked as if she was about to kill each and every one of us. She tried to leave with so much as a 'thank you' or 'goodbye' but Ayame carried here and the rest is history!"
Everyone was silent until Yusuke started snickering, then Kuwabara, and Kurama, then everyone stared laughing except Setsunei and Hiei.
"Could I go now!"
"Not on your own you can't." said Ayame, now calming down a bit.
Setsunei screamed a string of curses humanity should have never heard and walked off. Hiei followed grumbling the same curses.
--------------------------
Setsunei slammed the door to a spare bedroom and plopped onto the bed screaming into her pillow.
"Stop screaming."
"You don't want to be watching me and I'm not too crazy about the idea myself. So why don't you go away?"
"I have no choice in the matter."
"Did you tell anyone what I told you about my past?"
"No…"
"You didn't?"
"No."
"Kurama told me you don't keep a secret for anything."
"It depends on the secret."
There was a long pause until Hiei heard soft breathing signaling that Setsunei had fallen asleep. He stared at her for a while and looked out of the window until he soon fell asleep.
-------------------------------
Setsunei was looking in every direction and very apprehensive of what was going to happen to her next. She was alone in the dark again and she was feeling very distant from herself.
I'm dreaming again, aren't I…? But I don't know where I am… Should I wander…?
She walked forward and grew colder and darker by the second. Someone put a hand on her shoulder and she tripped whoever it was and held her dagger at his or her throat. She knew its touch and knew who it was who had touched her.
"Looks like I win again, Takeshi…"
"Not exactly…"
"So this is yet another power of yours, ne?"
"Yeah, I thought talking to you in your dreams would be easier than talking to you when you're awake."
"Oh, shut up. I've always been an object to you… some sort of prize… And you think sweet talking me is going to turn back time? I should kill you now."
"But you can't, can you? You think I know something of your past that I'm not telling you."
"You'd better tell me."
"You have better luck killing me now. Or will it be the other way around?"
"What are you-? Aaaaah!"
My mind and soul feel like they're on fire… What did he do to me!
She leaped off of Takeshi and she was holding onto her head and chest. She fell her knees and was shaking with pain.
"The darkness in your heart… is turning into pure negative energy and is destroying you… from the inside out. And the only way to stop it… is to wake up. And you can't do that can you…?"
"Takeshi… stop…"
"No…"
"Onegai… it... hurts…"
"You'll learn… even if I may kill you in the process."
---------------------------------
Setsunei screamed in her sleep but only loud enough for Hiei to hear her. He woke up with a start and his eyes drifted to Setsunei, who was twisting and turning on the bed as if she were in extreme pain. She was incredibly pale and was only able to get out one word that was so quiet it was barely a whisper.
"Help… me…"
Hiei ran over and started shaking her to snap her out of it. She was shaking and she was drenched in a cold sweat.
"Setsunei! Setsunei!"
He shook her a bit and she finally woke up. She looked at him and started glaring at him, but her gaze softened.
"You're the one who woke me up, aren't you?"
He nodded. She looked away and hesitated with her answer.
"Thanks… for waking me up…"
She sat up and leaned against the bed post. She looked out of the window and got up from the bed and started pacing around.
"How did you know to wake me up?"
"Your scream woke me up."
I didn't think I did that out loud…
She walked out of the room and got some water with Hiei right behind her.
"Do you have to follow me everywhere!"
"Almost."
"Kami…"
"What were you screaming about?"
"Intense pain…"
"From what?"
"My worst nightmare…"
"And that is…?"
"None of your business."
"Well you probably won't be able to go back to sleep if you don't tell me what it is."
"So."
"Don't you care?"
"I've never been the one to care about my well being or anyone else's. So I don't plan on going back to sleep. Besides, you wouldn't be able to do anything about it even if I told you."
"How do you know?"
"Trust me, I know. I'm going to go out and train now. So no following me. Everyone's asleep so no one will know."
"That's not necessarily true…"
Setsunei and Hiei snapped their heads over to see Kurama standing by the counter.
"Kurama, does he have to follow me when I just go out and train?"
"Yes."
"Oh come on! I'm just training!"
"Well train with Hiei then."
"I don't like havin' him around you know…"
"We all agreed that he would watch you from now on. No matter how much he doesn't like it. And he really doesn't like it."
"Well, don't I have a say in it?"
"No, not really."
She sighed and said, "You are the most evil, demonic thing I have ever met." And with that, she walked out of the door and went out to train at the park.
-------------------------------
She arrived quickly and went right to work. She chopped a couple trees down and sat down to rest.
For how long I've known Takeshi… he's never tried to kill me before… What would he gain from the destruction of the worlds…?"
She started to sing to rid herself from her thoughts of Takeshi,
"Ikutsu namida o nagashitara
Every heart sunao ni nareru darou
Dare ni omoi tsutaetara
Every Heart kokoro mita sareru no darou
Nagai nagai yoru ni obieteita
Tooi hoshi ni inotteta
Meguru meguru toki no naka de

Tsuyoku tsuyoku naritai kara

Kyou mo mata aruki tsuzuketeyuku..."
She heard rustling in the trees and she jumped up onto one of the branches. She swung herself up and saw the fiery gaze that she knew so well.
"Hiei… when I tell you to keep a secret… I EXPECT YOU TO KEEP IT!"
She jumped down from the branches and saw Takeshi waiting for her down below.
"Don't you have some sort of hobby other than tormenting me every waking moment!"
"Not really…"
"Then, you should really get one."
"But nothing's as fun as being around you, Sunei…" he said lifting up her chin with his finger so she'd meet his gaze. She snapped at his finger and he drew back before she could bite it.
"Don't give me that. I don't want you around me anymore. If you come near me, you'll suffer greatly…"
"You're just making this harder on yourself."
"No I'm not. I made the right choice three years ago as far as I'm concerned. You used me, betrayed me. I have no intention of that happening to me again. I'm free… Don't you understand that?"
"Not really."
"Ugh, you are so incompetent."
"Not like you. You're stubborn, but you're cute and have a wonderful singing voice. Then there's the fact you can let rage blind you and you have a talent for getting yourself in trouble that you can't get yourself out of."
"Oh shut up you baka akki. I may be stubborn and my temper can get ahead of me, but they aren't liabilities, they're my strengths… and I plan to prove it now."
She took her daggers firmly in her hands and came at him. She slashed and she cut him from head to toe. She tripped him and she was about to pierce through his heart. He rolled out of the way and he charged at her. She dodged every blow he delivered and she kicked him in the stomach and it sent him into a nearby tree. He made copies of himself again and circled around her and they all came at her. One came at her from behind and it slashed her in the sleeve. The strange part of it was that it actually hit.
How could it have cut me…? Well, that's something that makes him more formidable than he was originally…
She spun around and stabbed it in the middle and jumped up to hit the one that tried to hit her. She impaled it in the center and slashed upward. She ducked underneath another blow and tripped them both. She then killed both on each side. She slaughtered each one until she got to the real one and held her dagger to his throat.
"We shall meet again, Sunei."
He disappeared into the shadows and left Setsunei by the tree now putting away her weapons.
"Well, now I feel better. Hiei! Were you watching me the whole time!"
He hopped down from the tree and nodded. She sighed crossly and signaled him to follow her back to Kurama's home.
------------OOC------------
Well that was interesting! Setsunei beat Hiei's face in again and met up with Takeshi… again! (He really does appear a lot, doesn't he?) She met Ayame and Sasumi and also found out about a new foe called the "shadows" O.o She found out that Takeshi has a new power and we now know that she can't swim! It came out to be 35 pages in double space so I consider that to be pretty good, ne?
Next chapter of Terra Angel!
---Dances, who needs 'em? ---
Yusuke and co. go to a dance and Setsunei finally meets Koenma!
Now everyone figures out that Setsunei can really sing!
Setsunei really doesn't like Botan when dressing up is involved… among other things…
All these wonderful facts are featured within the next chapter of Terra Angel! (Also akki means "evil demon" Kami means "God". Iie means "no" and iiya is a stronger version of no. Onegai means "please?" )
