Chi: WOOT, I checked my reviews today and I had five! THANK YOU EarnestInBerlin! I'm really beginning to like you! Oh, and sorry for the confusion, but so far I don't even know how chapter 1 and 2+3+4 are related. It'll come to me probably right when I finish this so I'll have to go back and edit it in to this somehow. Anyways, here's the chapter you've been waiting for!
Chapter 4
"Kokuyo, is that you?" Madam Hisui turned nervously in the bath.
"Don't worry, it is." Kokuyo brushed the side of her cheek with his hand.
"Did you give the potion to Kohaku?" Hisui asked, resting her head on his shoulder. She felt him nod. "Good, maybe she can finally be happy, if only for one night."
------------------------
"Kohaku?"
"Shuichiro," the now tiny Kohaku flew into his arms, "Shuichiro, I didn't think you would actually come!"
"Why wouldn't I?" He asked raising an eyebrow.
"Well humans aren't—"
"What's that?" Shuichiro asked pointing to the small vile that Kohaku had strung around her neck.
"Oh this?" She pulled it off. "Kokuyo gave me this."
"Kokuyo gave you something?"
Kohaku smiled. "Uh huh. Kokuyo said that if I took this then I would be able to be big for just one night. That's why I thought if you came we could meet here." She motioned to the springs around them. "It's such a lovely place that I wanted to show you it."
At night? Shuichiro sighed. "You're too kind Kohaku."
------------------------
"Are we there yet?" Ruri complained rubbing up against their Master, the boy.
"No." Kazahaya stated for the umpteenth time.
"We're lost, aren't we?" Huri grumbled clinging to her Master's other arm.
"No," Kazahaya looked down at the map. He turned it another way, "we're perfectly fine." He flipped it back to another angle again.
"We're lost." The boy sighed putting his arms around the two girls.
"Who's there?" Rikuo shined his flashlight on the group.
"Ow!" Kazahaya shielded his eyes. "Damnit you ruined my night vision!"
"It serves you right for being out past curfew." Rikuo sneered joining the four. "Where do you campers think you're going this late at night?"
"None of your bees wax," Kazahaya growled.
"We're going to the hot springs," the boy hung his arms around Kazahaya's shoulders, "wanna come?"
"Get off!" Kazahaya blushed trying to duck out from under him, but the boy's arms held firm.
"How did you plan on getting there?" Rikuo asked looking down at the map.
"My Kazahaya was leading us there, weren't you?" The boy whispered.
"Uh…um…yeah…" Kazahaya averted his eyes and the boy laughed releasing his hold on him.
"Well you won't be getting anywhere with that old thing." Rikuo snatched the map from Kazahaya's grip. "Follow me." He sent Kazahaya a strange blank look before starting off. He led them to a cabin that was quite larger than the ones the campers shared. "Wait here."
He opened the door and allowed the campers a brief glimpse inside the counselor's rooms. Another counselor, a girl, came up to Rikuo. Kazahaya watched through the screen door. Ever since Kakei told them to attend this camp, this girl had followed Rikuo around like a puppy. It rather irritated him, as Rikuo seemed like a magnet for chicks.
"So you're back huh?" She twirled her finger on Rikuo's arm. It was obvious that she liked him and there was nothing Kazahaya could do about that.
"You know," the boy was back at teasing Kazahaya again, who jumped, it was just too hard for him to resist as he whispered into Kazahaya's ear, "they say that the springs is the hot spot for young couples around here."
"But they also say that it's a good place to drown someone," Huri whispered to her twin Ruri.
Rikuo returned with two umbrellas. "We'll need these, it's going to rain." He handed one to the boy who opened it and held it so the twins could use it two. Rikuo opened one for Kazahaya and himself to use. "Let's go."
"Don't you need a map or something?" Ruri asked as they trekked through the woods.
"No, I've been there before." Rikuo stated.
Kazahaya looked up at him. A strange feeling crept its way into his heart. He crushed his thoughts immediately, that school they had attended with Nayuki Sotaru a month ago really had tainted him.
"We're here."
"Wow," the twins gawked at the lovely site.
"Hey, um Rikuo," Kazahaya fidgeted, "did you come here with that gi—" a girly scream cut him off. Kazahaya looked up from his restless hands to find Kohaku standing infront of him with but a towel around her waist. "But…bu…I…you're a man!"
"I knew it!" The boy laughed when Shuichiro handed her his shirt. "I knew that you took the potion and to make matters worse you brought Shuichiro here." He shook his head playfully. "I'm sorry Shuichiro; even though you're cute I'm afraid I'll have to report this."
"Koryu, wait!" Kokuyo and Madam Hisui came charging in.
Kazahaya looked at the boy, "Koryu?" Things were moving too fast and his mind was already overloaded with weary thoughts, he didn't understand anything that was going on.
Koryu whispered to the twins who transformed into two black cats and disappeared. "It's too late now." He smiled as the cats returned with a crow that quickly ascended in the sky.
"No!" Kohaku gave Shuichiro a protective hug. She needed it more than he did.
Kazahaya turned to Rikuo, "Rikuo, what's go—?"
A tiny bunny like creature suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It was carrying a large flower that it handed to Kohaku before spiraling back the way it had come, back into the sky. Kohaku cried as the flower dissolved. She hugged Shuichiro again.
"It's alright," he whispered.
Madam Hisui pulled Kohaku away from Shuichiro with the help of Kokuyo. She cried folding herself into Hisui's arms. A large lightening bolt from out of nowhere engulfed Shuichiro. When the brilliant light dissipated he was gone, the scorch mark on the ground the only proof of what had happened. Kohaku broke away from Hisui and Kokuyo suddenly, stopping dead when she passed Koryu. She stared at him, her large eyes overflowing with tears.
"Koryu how could you!" Kohaku ran to her room, tears streaming down her face.
"Would somebody please explain to us what's going on!" Kazahaya yelled, utterly lost in all the ruckus.
Kokuyo sighed, sending Koryu a terrible look. Koryu was actually a little bit sorry for his actions, but only a little bit. Seeing Kohaku cry was his number one goal in life and he had just scored a 100 for doing so, but he felt bad for Shuichiro who was innocent in all this.
"I think it would be best if we just showed you." Kokuyo snapped his fingers and immediately the ground beneath the group vanished and was replaced with odd looking cobblestones of gold. "This is the bridge between an eternity in life or death. This is the gateway between Heaven and Hell."
End of Chapter 4
Chi: Heh, heh, I know I said that this would probably be the last Wish chapter, but I'm sorry, I lied. Sorry! I SWEAR the next one is. I was trying my best to put it all in this one, but it was too much for Rikuo, Kazahaya, and for that matter ME to bear and understand. Oh, and you'll find the connection between this 'job' and the next at the end of the next chapter, promise. As for the link to chapter 1 it has to do with Rikuo's school and don't worry, I'll revisit it later.
Preview:
I don't have much typed yet so I won't do dialogue, but I will do a summary.
With Shuichiro now trapped on the bridge and Kohaku in threat of being forever 'imprisoned' in Heaven never allowed to return to Earth, things couldn't go anymore amiss, or so Kazahaya and Rikuo thought. A battle is slowly brewing and a declaration of love could just set it off. The final chapter to the Wish cross-over, an ending you may or may not want to read, but one you definitely don't want to miss!
