Chapter Six:
"So, what to do now?" It was after lunch time and the gang was roaming the streets again.
"We should look around here some more, I think." Said Syaoran.
"Won't we get lost?" Mirihanna was getting worried since her sense of direction was getting worse by every street they crossed.
"Hmm…Mia-Chan's has a point. We don't know the place well. We can't go far." Mirihanna rested her hands on her waist and made an agreement nod at Fay, who responded with a smile.
"Heh? You want to go somewhere?" The lively boy, Masayoshi asked.
"Yes."
"To what place?" He asked again "I don't know. I'm looking for something." Syaoran looked around clueless of where to begin.
"Then I'll look with you! And I'll show you the way!" He finally said with a confident look. Mirihanna approached the two.
"Is it too much trouble?" Syaoran didn't want to bother the poor boy but the seemed to really like him.
"No trouble! I just need to call home!" Mirihanna delicately placed her hand on top of his head and smiled sweetly. "Thank you, that is sweet of you."
Masayoshi's eyes sparkled and a soft pink blush covered his round face. He nodded and took off.
"He really does look up to you two!" Said Fay smiling lying on a wall beside Syaoran. Mirihanna stood in front of them while Kurogane was window shopping…
"We stopped talking before… you had a dream?"
"Yes. That thing that came from me. It was in a dream about a fire beast."
"Curious." She began gaining their attention. "I also had a dream about the beast that appeared. But I though it was only a dream."
"I had a strange dream as well." Kurogane said glancing from a shop to them.
"Me too. I got yelled at." Said the blonde making Mirihanna smile with curiosity.
"Who is the boy called Syaoran?!" She heard from behind. She turned and faced a very large man with a whole gang behind him all dressed in black leather.
"Why do you want to know?" Fay asked to the man.
"Are you the man that Shougo said he liked?!" Then man was very loud and rude for Mirihanna's taste. She crossed her arms and kept listening. The man noticed this.
"And you must be the girl!" Fay leaned forward leaving the wall he was resting and put his hand on her shoulder, placing himself and inch forward than her.
"What if I am?" He said never leaving his smile behind. Mirihanna looked at him and at the man. She could sense the tension rising once more. A crowd was gathering around them. Kurogane kept his cool in a distance, intensively looking at them.
"I am Syaoran." The young boy stepped in front of them, making Mirihanna worry.
"What!? You're joking. That's a KID!"
"No, it's true, there's no mistake…" The leader of the gang and a gang member started arguing loudly, almost forgetting Syaoran's existence.
"Are you going to join Shougo's Team?!" He finally asked.
"Team?" Syaoran didn't get the question, neither the rest of the group.
"Don't play dumb with me! Shougo liked you!"
"What a childish play." Mirihanna mumbled to herself with a bored expression.
"You even have a high Kudan! Both of you!"
"We don't intend to join." Syaoran finally said, trying to cut the conversation.
Fay even commented how firmly Syaoran speaks making Mirihanna nod.
"Then join us!" The man burst "I have nothing to do with you…" Syaoran politely started.
"So! You two plan to make your own team?!"
"Nonsense. We won't do such thing." Mirihanna finally stood up in the conversation but the man already had his hand up in the air, ready for an attack.
"Then I am going to break you two into pieces!" A huge solid Kudan filled with spikes and a large sharp tail was summoned at them.
"I don't want to fight you!" Syaoran jumped, evading the Kudan's sharp attack that slid cut a pillar. Mirihanna felt an arm on her waist pulling her behind right before the blow into safety. When she looked behind she saw Fay.
"It's not fair trying to hit a lady." He said looking at the gang leader, releasing her and taking a step closer him, only to be stopped by Kurogane's hand. Mirihanna and Fay both gave him a surprised look.
"This is getting boring." He simply said while walking to the fight.
"What the hell do you think you're doing here?" He said with an evil grin.
Mirihanna was worried about him, she knew he was a strong fighter by his body build, but he was still going to fight a whole gang and a giant Kudan.
"Kuro hasn't been having fun up until now!" Mokona teased. "You shut the hell up!" was his response.
"But Kurogane, you are unarmed!" Syaoran said desperately to him.
"What grade is your Kudan?!" Asked the gang leader up for the new challenge.
"Don't know. Don't care." He put his hand in his pockets. "Now stop rambling and attack."
"Now don't be reckless, will you?" Mirihanna teased in a serious way. Fay noticed the insecurity of her words. "He'll be fine, I'm sure." He said to her.
"You two stay out of this!" Kurogane barked pointing a finger at them both. That surely made Mirihanna's mouth shut. He looked at her reaction, and muttered a 'Tsk'.
Masayoshi came running after all the noise.
The boy became desperate explaining everyone how that gang member was and how strong his kudan his.
"Hot Crab Attack!" The man screamed and the larger spiky kudan launched at Kurogane making his flip behind, evading the attack. Syaoran was about to run and help but was stopped by the blonde mage that restrained the boy's good intentions. Mirihanna quietly stood firmly on her feet awaiting for Kurogane's turn.
"Falling Crab Attack!" She heard. The young boy screamed Kurogane's name and Mirihanna witnessed several falling debris falling on top of Kurogane. With the release of her gasp, Hikari reappeared in a mist and dove under the rocks.
Mirihanna was confused of what just happened and so was Syaoran, but the mage just smiled. Suddenly a huge boulder was been lift but a glowing Kurogane.
"I though I told you to stay out of this, girl!" He said. Now she realized that the glowing aura surrounding him was her Kudan, protecting his bones and flesh for harm.
Mirihanna continued to watch the battle and witnessed the appearance of what she recalls in her world as a Dragon, that soon enough transforming into a mighty sword that put a smile of the dark man's face.
Kurogane launched at the gang member with all his might and a series of cuts and blast were made towards him, making the fat man scream in pain.
The other gang members all came running to their leader.
"Y-Y-you! You are in Syaoran's team right?" He asked, pointing his finger toward them.
"No" He started "I work by myself. Only for princess Tomoyo." Mirihanna intensively heard his words. ' A loyal servant' she though to herself.
The gang just ran away without any word like cowards and Kurogane just muttered a "Tsk". Hikari just like before, vanished into Mirihanna. While Kurogane walked to the others again, Mirihanna could hear Fay and Mokona cheer wildly at the man. She stood quietly. She could feel there was much to learn from her new companions.
Hi everyone!
Thank you so much for reading my fan fiction! I hope you like it :) What do you think about it so far? I would really appreciate some constructive reviews to see if I'm going in the right direction. Also, I'll be following the Manga story and I'm thinking of adding a couple of new worlds...maybe some small crossovers or even something just out of my head. What do you think?
Hope to heard from you guys soon!
