Silverwing013: OMG! I never even considered that! Now that you mention it though...hmmm...I like it...thanks for the idea!
Rose of Death: This update soon enough for ya? Man, two chapters in one week. I am good! (It could also have something to do with the fact that a laptop with Internet access is a school requirement )
Hiei's Shadow Tenshi: Hello again, my most loyal reviewer (last I checked, you've reviewed every chapter I've posted). I like your ferret name, it's really nice! As to voting, my policy is that reviewers can vote once per new chapter, so yes, you can vote again. (Isn't Sailor Moon a good show? Saturn is my favorite too!)
Pairings:
Hiei: 3
Kurama: 1 (I felt sorry for him, so I gave him a sympathy vote)
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho. All I own is Risaiko (and her pet). Don't sue me. Thank you. Have a nice day.
Chapter 4: Suspicions
Yusuke eyed the girl that had approached Genkai warily, still trying to decide whether she was a threat or not.
//Hmmm...she looks like a normal person, but she could be Rando. After all, I doubt anybody would suspect a girl, especially one as frail looking as her.// He thought as he glared at the girl, deciding to keep an eye on her for now.
Risaiko was broken out of her thoughts as she suddenly sneezed.
"Oh my," She said absently as her little creature mewed worriedly, "I hope I haven't come down with anything. Now, what shall your name be...oh, I know! How about Kagehana?" She asked the creature. It purred contentedly at the sound of the name. She grinned.
"Alright," She announced, "your name is Kagehana." Kagehana's purring increased in volume as the small ferret climbed up her arm and nestled down onto her shoulder. Just then, Genkai announced that those who passed the video game challenge could continue, while the losers had to leave. Risaiko decided to follow, and waited until everyone had left for the forest before transforming into her fallen angel form. Her outfit had changed, and she now wore a dark red sports bra and black shorts with an unbuttoned black trenchcoat over it and ankle length black boots. Her grin widened as Kagehana mewed in approval of her outfit choice. Stepping outside, she summoned her wings and took to the skies.
"Now let's see how the contenders are doing. I know I would love to test them myself." She said to Kagehana, a maniacal gleam in her ruby eyes. Even if she didn't have a shadow weapon, she had other means.
Risaiko landed in a nearby tree, then leapt to the forest floor. Looking around, she could sense that this place was a dangerous area, and would rip apart anyone who couldn't fight well enough to defend themselves.
//Genkai-san was very smart to have the next test take place here. It will weed out the weaklings.// She smirked at the thought, but her smirk quickly became a frown as her danger sense began going off. Someone was behind her, someone whom she doubted was friendly.
She stepped to the side just as a fist came flying past her. She whirled, catching the other fist as it made it's way towards her face. Grinning, she kicked her attacker's legs out from under him and stepped back, noticing that her opponent was a teenage boy with black hair.
"That was a pitiful offense. You should have tried to aim for my weak spots instead of wildly throwing punches. Very sloppy." Risaiko berated him. The boy immediately got to his feet, his face almost red with anger.
"Why you..." He charged again, fist raised to pummel her. Instead of catching it, she simply leapt into a tree, watching as his momentum sent him flying onto his stomach.
"I have to go now. Work on improving your skill until we meet again. By the way, you've got about ten minutes left." She announced before flying off into the sky. Yusuke stood there for a moment until her words sunk in, and he began running like the hounds of hell were behind him.
//That weirdo girl...she's connected with the girl I saw before. I'm sure of it. But is she Rando? Or something else altogether...// Yusuke wondered as he sprinted through the trees, only a few seconds late. Genkai, however, made an exception, allowing Yusuke to continue on with the tournament.
TBC:
Good evening, ladies and gents! As you can see, this is the next chapter of Fallen from Grace. As you can see, Risaiko and Yusuke have met, but they're obviously off to a bad start. Yusuke's suspicious of Risaiko, and Risaiko is wary of Yusuke. Don't worry readers, this is all part of my plan (heehee)
P.S: I forgot to tell you this earlier, but in human form, Genkai addresses her as Risa, in case Koenma sends people out looking for Risaiko. So, in human form, she's Risa, and in fallen angel form, she's Risaiko.
