20. Girl Fight and Spritzy's True Identity Revealed

"Hey, Minato!"

Spritzy turned around Friday morning at Black Panda High and saw a group of eleventh-grade girls standing around her with their arms crossed. None of them had very happy looks on their faces. Spritzy wondered what their issue was.

"What is your problem, Spritzy?" one of the girls asked, shoving Spritzy against a tree.

"Yeah, what is your problem?" another girl repeated.

"I don't have a problem," Spritzy said crossly. She was already in a bad mood from last night; Shibuki, her dragon, kept constantly reminding her that she had to just go ahead and kiss three random boys. She didn't need these older girls to come and pick on her. "Leave me alone."

"I don't think so," said the biggest girl in the group, obviously their "leader". "We're not gonna leave you alone until you leave our boys alone!"

"Your boys?" Spritzy scoffed. "What in the world are you talking about?"

"We saw the way you were locking lips with Suichi the other day!" one girl with big eyes shrieked. "We saw! We saw!"

"And we don't like," said the big girl. "You lay off Suichi, okay?"

"Why? He's free game, isn't he?" Spritzy said. "I have just as much right to kiss him as you do." Spritzy didn't add that she knew he was taken by the mysterious stalker girl.

"Not for you," the big girl said. "We don't wanna see any more of your little 'love games' with Suichi. If you do, you're gonna get it."

Spritzy snorted. "Are you saying you want to fight me?"

"That's right," said a tall girl with brown hair. "To make you pay for what you did to Suichi—"

"Suichi doesn't care what I do to him!" Spritzy retorted. "He likes it!" She knew what she had just said was a lie, but she said it anyway.

"Don't make no difference," said the big girl. "You're still gonna get it anyway. After school. Three o'clock. Right here. Be there." She turned around and beckoned for her friends to follow her. They did, their noses stuck up in the air, their long hair swishing behind them.

Spritzy stayed, still against the tree and looked at them strangely. "That was odd," she said quietly to herself, but she shook it off and went back into the school building so she could grab Yusuke and drag him out of class (it wasn't hard to do).

The girls from that morning weren't the first ones to challenge Spritzy to a fight. It seemed that word had spread about Spritzy's little escapade with Kurama, and not too many girls were happy with it. As soon as she walked in the door to homeroom, she was confronted by two other groups of girls. She couldn't get a chance to go find Yusuke because the other girls who liked Yusuke wanted to challenge Spritzy as well. There was challenge after challenge after challenge for Spritzy, and by lunchtime, there were three more!

Spritzy, her boiling point almost reached, stood up on the table and shouted, "May I have your attention!" The entire cafeteria fell silent as all heads turned to Spritzy. "Thank you," Spritzy said huffily. "Now, I noticed that there are a lot of people who wish to fight me. Since there are so many of you, why don't we all just go out after school and have one big fight in the courtyard—me against all of you."

There were whispered murmurs and nods of heads throughout the cafeteria. The boys had no idea what was going on; they had been totally oblivious to the groups of girls cornering Spritzy everywhere they went. The girls, however, were discussing battle plans and snickering evilly. Spritzy looked around at the groups, and exhaled loudly. "Well, it's settled then, I guess. See you after school." She hopped down from the table and went to go sit down by herself at an empty table.

Once lunch was over, Yusuke caught up with her and pulled her over. "What's going on, Spritz?" he asked. "What were you talking about at lunch?"

"None of your business," Spritzy said brusquely, trying to get away from him. "It's really no big deal…"

"Yeah, it kind of is a big deal," Yusuke said, worried. "If you go up against all those girls, you're going to get hurt. I don't want that."

He obviously doesn't know that I could easily take on a bunch of stupid high school girls with my kind of power… Spritzy thought grimly. "I'll be fine," she said. "I have to go…" She left Yusuke standing by the wall, a confused look on his face.

I can't complete my mission with all these fights! Spritzy thought, frustrated. I have until four o'clock this afternoon to kiss three more boys. It's already 12:30! And with all these girls following me everywhere, I can't just kiss random guys! I mean, I guess I could if I wanted to… but if those girls saw me, they would for sure all gang up on me and starting fighting me right there on the spot! I have to run… I have to get out of this school and find men on the street… But I can't skip out on the fight… Spritzy walked around with her frantic thoughts for about fifteen minutes until she ran into Kurama.

"Oh, sorry," she said distractedly. Kurama stared after her as she kept walking. He had been in the library studying when Spritzy had made her announcement to the cafeteria, and he had no idea what was going on.

Being the nice and caring person that he was, he asked her, "What's wrong, Spritzy? Anything I can do to help?"

Spritzy stared into his soft green eyes helplessly. She wished there was something he could do, but to be truthfully honest with herself, there was no one in the world that could help her. If only she hadn't taken that potion… But she really wanted to stay young like this. It was fun reliving her teen years, even if half the school hated her. Spritzy looked down at the grass and said, "No, Suichi. This is something I have to deal with myself."

Kurama looked around to see if anyone was watching. "I understand," he said softly. He looked at Spritzy once more, watching her sad brown eyes stare at the grass and her long pink hair flutter with the wind… This was a completely different girl than the usual rude, loud, insensitive girl who came to the school only a few days ago. He remembered kissing her in the hallway on Wednesday. How it had felt so wrong… so much unlike his real stalker's kiss. He felt bad for not liking it more, even though this wasn't his real stalker. He almost felt like he owed her or something…

"Spritzy," he said quietly. "I'm sorry about… what happened a few days ago."

Why is he apologizing to me? Spritzy wondered, looking back up at him. He didn't do anything wrong! It was me who did the wrongdoing… She tried to apologize to him as well, but the words caught in her throat as Kurama leaned down and kissed her.

What is he doing? Spritzy thought wildly as he caressed her back and shoulders. I thought he didn't like me! Why is he doing this…?

Kurama broke away a few seconds later. "I have a feeling that I won't be seeing much more of you," he said furtively. "I hope that pays you back from any trouble our other kiss might have caused." He left.

That made no sense to me at all, Spritzy thought, touching her lips. But I liked it. I wonder what he meant when he said that he has a feeling that he won't be seeing much more of me…? Does he know… my secret…?

Finally, it was three o'clock, and already a large group of girls were standing in the courtyard waiting for her. Not counting the kiss she shared with Kurama a few hours ago, Spritzy had only kissed two boys. There was almost no hope for her now. It was nice while it lasted… she thought wistfully. Let's just get this over with… Time to kick their asses…

Spritzy wasn't nervous about the fight. The only thing she was nervous of was that the fight would last an hour and that the whole school would see her transform; she was due to turn back into her regular form at four.

Then something caught her eye. In the back of the group of girls and spectators, was Hiei. It's Hiei, that kid from the theater who was with that ice apparition… Spritzy thought. One more man for me to kiss… Pushing past the girls, she ran at Hiei and planted her lips on his.

What the hell! Hiei yelled in his mind as Spritzy came flying at him. He shoved her off after she got her kiss in and shouted at her, "What was that for!"

Spritzy didn't answer; she just turned around and went into the middle of the ring of fighters and spectators. Three down, two more to go… Her eyes scanned the crowd for any more boys, but it was mostly girls who had shown up for the fight.

Shizuru and Yukina were at opposite sides of the courtyard and had both seen Spritzy just walk up and lock lips with their man. This made them both very angry… They would join the fight against Spritzy as well…

Spritzy stopped looking for boys and sighed. "All right. Let's get this over with!" she said sharply. "Come on, give me all you got!"

Almost every girl charged at Spritzy. Some had weapons, some just had their fists. Spritzy expertly blocked most of their attacks, startling some of the girls. They didn't think Spritzy could fight.

Shizuru and Yukina both launched themselves at Spritzy and began showering her with punches and kicks everywhere. These two were the only possible formidable opponents of hers. Spritzy punched and kicked back, but the two girls just kept going. They kept fighting for what seemed to be eternity. None of the girls would give up. The others just stood back and watched.

"Those two aren't from our school, are they?" one girl asked her friend.

"No, I don't think so…" her friend replied. "I've never seen them…"

Spritzy stole a glance at her watch. 3:57. She gasped. So much time had passed! She had to get out soon! She kicked Shizuru and Yukina down, then let her spirit energy build up. A misty pink aura surrounded her, shocking the crowd, Shizuru and Yukina especially, since they knew what spirit energy was.

"Wh-what is that…?" a girl stammered.

"I don't know…"

Spritzy pulled her right arm back. Her fist was glowing ominously, pink sparks shooting out and scaring people.

"Hey, isn't that…?" Kuwabara started. He and Yusuke had just shown up for the fight in time to see Spritzy about to launch her spiritual attack.

Yusuke's eyes widened. "It can't be…" he whispered.

"How come I didn't sense her spirit energy before…?" Kuwabara thought aloud to himself. "That's supposed to be something I'm good at…"

"The only thing," Yusuke retorted, momentarily taking eyes off the fight.

Kuwabara looked back toward the fight. "Woah!" he gasped. "Yusuke, I think that is!"

3:59… I have to make this count! Spritzy thought, glancing at her watch again. "Shotgun!" she yelled, throwing her fist out at the crowd.

Instead of a wave of energy knocking the crowd down, there was a large wave of energy engulfing Spritzy. It created a half-circle around her that nobody could see inside of. Everyone stepped back, surprised. What was going on?

There was an earsplitting whistling noise like that of a teakettle's, and the giant ball of energy exploded. At first it looked like there was nothing left where Spritzy was standing, but then the crowd could see a small woman lying on the ground.

Shizuru and Yukina gasped. They recognized this woman…

The woman stood up and groaned. Her head hurt, and there was a huge group of people watching her. She then remembered what had happened, and looked around in fear at the crowd watching her. She looked at Yusuke and Kuwabara, who were both standing openmouthed with shock. She looked at Shizuru and Yukina, who seemed paralyzed. She looked at everyone else, who were just plain surprised. She got up, jumped over the fence and started running as fast as she could out of there.

"Wasn't that… Genkai?" Kuwabara managed to say.

"Uh-huh…" said Yusuke, his face turning pale. "I can't believe I made out with Genkai… I feel sick…"

Botan and Keiko, who were nearby, stared after Genkai running away with shock.

"That… was Genkai?" Botan asked.

"I guess so…" Keiko said. Then she clenched her fists in anger. "I can't believe Genkai could be so cruel! She stole Yusuke away from me! The nerve of that woman! I can't believe her!"

"I bet she thought she wouldn't transform back into her normal form," Botan said logically. "She thought she could get away with all this…"

Some of the other girls from the school were whispering among themselves.

"That was an old lady?"

"How did that happen?"

"Did you see that?"

"I don't understand…"

Meanwhile, Genkai burst into her house, grabbed Shibuki by the tail and roughly said, "Come on. We're getting out of here."

Reviewer Responses!

hieifan123: Yeah, Kuwabara x Keiko makes my eyes go all twitchy… O.o; Yep, totally random, odd plot twist the Spritzy-kissing-people thing… Dunno what inspired me to do that. Spritzy was a totally unnecessary character thrown it for who-knows-why… Even I don't know. Anyway, thanks for the review!

heartluv: Well, I guess this chapter answers that question… ha ha Yup. 'Twas Genkai-sama! Good guessing! Actually, Kuwabara somehow heard it through the grapevine (his sister) that Botan didn't like him back, and that's why he switched girls. I never mentioned it, but that's why. :sweatdrop: Thanks for the review!
