Chapter Eight- Stop Wasting Time!
Warning: Some characters might seem a bit out of character in this chapter, so please don't complain about it. I'm aware of it.
Watarimones turned around and spotted Koenma in his teenager form. Koenma looked over at Watarimones and then Tsumetai came back with a young girl that had very light blonde hair with light blue streaks running through it. She looked over at Watarimones, "So Kaisanto has been defeated at last?"
Watarimones nodded, "Yes, Princess Kagetsu, he is dead."
Princess Kagetsu looked over at Koenma, "Thank you for sending help, but unfortunately, as you may already know, they were killed in battle."
Koenma nodded, "Yes, I am aware of their deaths. I have someone coming to bring their bodies back to Earth."
Watarimones looked over at Koenma somewhat surprised, "You knew…?"
Koenma nodded, "Yes I figured you were going to stay here with the Princess. I knew from the moment you came to me asking if you could help with this mission." Watarimones nodded to show he understood.
Suddenly a flash of light appeared behind Koenma. Koenma turned around as the light disappeared. When the light disappeared completely a girl with light blue hair, which was up in pigtails, and sky blue eyes stood where the light had been. The girl walked over to Koenma and Koenma said, "Luna, I see you got here ok."
Luna nodded, "Yes I came as requested, but I still don't know why you needed me here."
While Luna was talking to Koenma the Princess was staring at Luna. Actually the Princess was staring at the moon shaped necklace that Luna was wearing around her neck.
Koenma was about to tell Luna why he asked her to come when the Princess walked over and looked at Luna, "That necklace, where did you get it?"
Luna looked at her necklace and then at the Princess, "My mother gave it to me when I was little."
The Princess looked a bit surprised, "Your name is Luna?"
"Yes."
"Named after the moon?"
"Yes, why are you asking me all these questions?"
The Princess looked at Koenma, "Is she the daughter of 'The Two'?"
Koenma nodded, "Yes she is one of their daughters. She has an older sister." Luna looked over at Koenma and Koenma said, "Yes, you can stop playing clueless."
Luna smiled slightly and looked over at the Princess, "Yes my mother is the woman you sent to Earth when you became allies."
Princess Kagetsu looked over at Koenma; "I presume you told her all this considering her parent were to never speak of us after arriving on Earth."
"Yes, I told her when she developed her powers."
"She inherited the powers of the Jinsuki from her mother?" Koenma nodded and the Princess stepped back to where she had been standing before, "That's all I needed to know. I now understand how she got here on her own."
Koenma looked over at Luna, "Now for the reason I asked you to come here." Koenma looked towards Hiei and Shiei's bodies, " Luna I need you to bring them back to Earth…"
Luna walked over to Hiei and Shiei and looked at them. She stared at them, "They're…dead?"
Koenma sighed slightly; he had hoped she wouldn't have noticed that fact, but unfortunately she had.
"Yes Luna, they died in battle, I need you to bring their bodies back to Earth."
"Are you going to bring them back to life?"
"Yes, I plan to bring them back to life."
Luna nodded and put one hand on Hiei's shoulder and the other hand on Shiei's shoulder. A small stone in the center of her necklace glowed and then the three disappeared.
Koenma looked over at the Princess and Watarimones, "Well I must be leaving now, I have things I to do back in Spirit World." The Princess and Watarimones nodded and Koenma left.
-Meanwhile in Spirit World-
Hiei and Shiei were standing in Koenma's office. When they first got there Koenma left and told them to wait for him to return. They had been waiting for a long time and they were getting annoyed with waiting.
A few more minutes passed and Koenma finally came back. Koenma went and sat at his desk, "Ok, now I will speak with you."
Hiei and Shiei walked over and stood in front of Koenma's desk. Koenma looked at Hiei, then at Shiei, and then at both at the same time, "Obviously being dead isn't what you guys want right now, so I am going to bring you back to life."
"What's the catch?"
"Well, I can only bring one of you back to life. The other one must be given energy from someone living. Seeing that you probably don't want anyone to know you died, the one who is revived first needs to give energy to the other, through the lips."
Hiei and Shiei twitched slightly and then gave Koenma a semi-glare. Koenma sighed slightly for he knew they wouldn't agree easily. Koenma looked at Hiei and Shiei, "Look, it's either you do that or one of you gets brought back to life now and the other gets brought back in 500 years."
Hiei and Shiei's eyes went wide for a second and then back to a glare. Koenma looked at Hiei and Shiei, "Think about it."
Hiei and Shiei stared at Koenma and then they looked at each other. They just stood there staring at each other and thought to themselves. A minute or two passed and neither said a word. They turned and looked at Koenma. Koenma looked at Hiei and Shiei and was surprised to see that both had emotionless looks on their face. Koenma blinked and thought, "Emotionless? Do they not care?"
The truth was, however, the emotionless stares were just their way of hiding the confusion of their thoughts. Koenma wanted to ask them if they had made a decision, but he didn't for he figured they hadn't.
Another minute passed and still nothing had changed. A few more minutes passed and Hiei looked over at Shiei and then at Koenma, "I'll be revived first."
Shiei showed no physical reaction but her thoughts said it all, "What the hell?"
Koenma looked at Hiei, "Fine, but you must tell me now, after you are brought back to life, are you going to revive Shiei?"
Hiei looked at Shiei and then at Koenma, or rather past Koenma, at the wall behind Koenma, "Yes I will."
Koenma nodded, "Fine, then we should head to human world where your bodies are." Hiei and Shiei nodded and followed Koenma out of his office.
-A few moments later in Human world-
Hiei and Shiei's bodies laid in a large forest that was located outside the city(1). Hiei and Shiei's ghost floated above head waiting for Koenma to get there so he could bring Hiei back to life.
Koenma arrived a few minutes later and walked over to Hiei's body. Koenma put a hand out and focused his energy while mumbling something. Hiei's ghost disappeared and a moment later Hiei opened his eyes. Koenma walked away knowing that now that he wasn't needed they didn't want him there.
Hiei sat up and looked over at Shiei. He knew what he had to do, but he just sat there and stared foreword. After a minute passed Hiei went over to Shiei. He sat down next to her and pondered. Hiei looked down at Shiei, he stared at her icy tipped bangs that were over her eyes. Hiei raised a hand slightly to move the bangs from in front of her eyes, but then put the hand down while wondering why he had just done that.
Hiei then noticed Shiei's Jagan eye wasn't covered by its chaotic energy(2). Hiei knew that even though Shiei was dead, her Jagan should have been concealed if she had died with it covered. Hiei next noticed that the beige bandages, that normally covered the dragon mark on Shiei's right arm, were gone.
Hiei had asked Shiei how she'd died, but she refused to tell him. Hiei sighed in his head for he now figured it out, though he couldn't figure out why she had done that. Hiei shrugged it off mentally and went back to pondering about what he had to do to bring Shiei back to life.
During all this Shiei's ghost was above head and she was getting annoyed at how long Hiei was taking to bring her back to life. She understood why Hiei was delaying, but she was growing impatient with waiting to be alive again.
Hiei looked up and stared foreword for a minute or two. Hiei closed his eyes and went back to thinking.
Shiei watched and was getting more annoyed by the minute. Hiei opened his eyes and looked at Shiei again. Hiei looked at Shiei's Jagan and the dragon mark on her arm. The Jagan was closed but he knew as soon as Shiei was revived it would open and that might cause problems.
Hiei put a hand in his pocket and pulled out a bandana. Hiei put the bandana on Shiei to cover her Jagan eye(3). Hiei then pulled out some bandages and bandaged her arm to cover the dragon mark. Covering the Jagan and the dragon mark took about a minute or two to do.
Shiei was sick of waiting. She growled slightly and wished Hiei would just get it over with already.
Hiei sighed mentally again and leaned over slightly. Hiei stared at Shiei's face and then closed his eyes, for he couldn't look at her and kiss her, for it just seemed a bit awkward. Hiei then leaned over and kissed Shiei on the lips. A moment later Hiei lifted his head up a bit and opened his eyes. He stared at Shiei and thought to himself, wondering if it had worked or not.
Suddenly Shiei's eyes opened and she punched Hiei in the face. The force of the punch made Hiei fly backwards a few inches or maybe a foot. Hiei stood up and had a very shocked yet confused look on his face. Hiei then looked over at Shiei, "What the hell was that for?"
Hiei stared at Shiei who was facing away from him. Shiei stayed silent so Hiei asked again, "What was that for?"
Shiei continued to face the other way, "Hn!"
"Why did you hit me?"
"Hn!"
"What did you punch me for?"
"Hn!"
During all this Shiei faced away from Hiei because she was blushing and she didn't want Hiei to see her blushing like that.
Hiei still looked confused, but he was getting annoyed at Shiei's refusal to answer him. Hiei stared in Shiei's direction, "Why did you punch me?" This time Hiei didn't even get an "Hn!" response from Shiei. Hiei blinked a few times, "Answer my question Shiei! And why aren't you facing me as I talk to you?"
"Hn!"
Hiei knew Shiei didn't like to answer questions but he wanted to know why he got punched and why Shiei hadn't looked at him since she was revived.
Hiei walked over to Shiei so that he could talk to her face instead of her back. As soon as Hiei got in front of Shiei, she turned the other way. Hiei growled very slightly and thought, "What the hell? Why did she punch me? Why did she turn away? Can she not look at me?" Hiei was annoyed, but confused as well. He then walked around Shiei to talk face to face, but as soon as Hiei got in front of Shiei, she turned away again.
Hiei growled and looked over at Shiei, "Answer my questions with something other than Hn!" Shiei stayed silent as Hiei stared foreword and waited for her to answer. About a minute passed and all was silent…
"You were too close."
Hiei blinked and looked at Shiei, "Huh?"
"When I opened my eyes you were right there. The punch was just a reflex, you were too close."
Hiei blinked a few times and said nothing. Shiei finally stopped blushing, so she turned around and faced Hiei. Hiei was still a bit annoyed for she only answered one of his questions. Hiei looked annoyed but a bit of confusion could still be found in his facial expression, "Why did you turn away from me before?"
"Hn! It's none of your concern."
Hiei sighed mentally and decided to accept that answer for he no longer had the patience to demand a better answer. Though something was still bothering him, "You punched me because of my location when you opened your eyes?"
Shiei's eyes narrowed into a semi-glare, "Hn! That and the fact I was already annoyed at you for taking so long to revive me!"
Hiei's eyes narrowed into a glare, "What the hell do you mean by that?"
"10 minutes! That's how long it took you to revive me!"
"What? I couldn't have revived you any sooner…"
"Yeah right! You wasted time and delayed senselessly!"
"How do you figure that? I did no such thing!"
"How do I figure? How about this?"
Shiei pulled off the bandana, which Hiei had tied around her head before, off, "Did you have to tie this around my head?"
"Yes, your Jagan might have reacted strangely when I revived you."
"My Jagan is different then yours! A bandana is not the same as chaotic energy! You might have covered it with the bandana, but it still reacted when you revived me!"
"Fine, ok, so that wasn't necessary, but how was I to know that?"
"Hn! You should have known that by now. With all things considered it's very obvious that my Jagan eye is different from your Jagan eye."
"Well I didn't think of that at time."
"Exactly, you weren't thinking."
"I was to thinking!"
"Yeah, thinking of ways to delay time."
"I was not!"
Hiei and Shiei then went silent and were glaring at each other. About a minute passed and both were still glaring at each other, neither of them were blinking. Shiei's patience had run out a while ago, so she blinked, for she didn't even have the patience for a glaring contest.
Hiei smirked slightly for he felt he had won the glaring contest. Shiei looked at Hiei and said, "Hn! Whatever." Hiei was a bit shocked at Shiei's reaction to losing, but showed no physical signs of shock.
Shiei shoved her hands into her pockets. Suddenly she looked a bit confused and maybe a bit surprised. Hiei stared at Shiei and thought, "How what?" Shiei accidentally heard Hiei's thought for she hadn't covered her Jagan.
Shiei pulled one her hands out of her pocket. In her hand was a piece of paper. Shiei stared at the paper wondering where it had come from, for she hadn't put any paper in her pocket. Hiei was equally confused as he stared at the paper in Shiei's hand and wondered what it was.
Ha! Ha! That's the end of the chapter, and there's still another chapter left to the story. Ha! I bet a lot of you thought this was going to be the last chapter. Well you were wrong. Oh and please don't complain about the really lame cliffhanger/chapter ending. A few people might have crazy ideas of what the paper is, but I'm saying nothing. You'll find out next chapter, and then you cancomplain about the lameness if you want to…
Footnotes:
(1) Ok, I don't know if that is geographically correct, but that large forest outside the city will be showing up again...
(2) The chaotic energy that covers Shiei's Jagan, for those who have been reading by the updates might have to go back to chapter 6 to understand that, there were a few changes in that chapter that you most likely don't know about.
(3) Shiei doesn't normally wear a bandana over her Jagan, this is like the one and only time she will be wearing one.
