New Dates, New Surprises.
Chapter 3 Death by Water Balloons.
The second Rinku opened the door and looked outside a water balloon hit him in the face. "Hey what the heck?" Rinku yelled surprised at the sudden attack.
Naomi was by the street with Jin, Kimiko, and Bunny as they threw two more water balloons Rinku's way. The boy barely managed to dodge out of the way.
"We missed!" Kimiko said disappointedly. She was wearing a helmet, sweats, and skate-boarding pads on her knees, elbows, and wrists. On her back was a backpack with some extra water balloons and other items that might be needed for their 'mission'. Strapped to her chest (more like duck-taped) was Bunny- dressed in camouflage clothing and a helmet.
"Don't worry we'll get 'em next time," Naomi declared. She wasn't wearing a helmet but she did have on some army pants and she held a sling shot in her hand. On her side was a cushioned bag that held some water balloons. "Let's split up!" Naomi said.
Naomi, along with Kimiko and Jin, swiftly moved inside and looked around for Rinku. On the couch sat Chu (who had fallen asleep; but it wasn't a deep sleep).
Okay where is he? He couldn't have gotten far, that's for sure. But where? Green eyes scanned the living room and it was at the last second that Naomi saw a toy yo-yo fly right for her face.
Naomi sidestepped and splashed Rinku with a water balloon right in the face. The splash was just enough to get Rinku dazed for a few seconds so that he didn't run when Jin flew over to the boy and tied him up with rope that he had borrowed from Kimiko.
"Chu help!" Rinku cried while he was tied up; Jin had his feet and legs tied so well that you would have to use a knife to get free.
Chu was woken from his sleep but before he was able to really do anything Kimiko hit him with three water balloons in the face and with a swift move that included sleeping powder had the drunken giant out cold again.
"Nice work kido," Naomi praised her younger sister.
"Oi, yeh are goin' ta b' a good fighter one of these days, yeh are," Jin added, ears wiggling.
"Aw shucks," Kimiko said blushing and waving a hand innocently. "You're just saying that."
Naomi smiled, "Yep, you're right. Anyways can you keep an eye on these two while Jin and I get the last three?"
Kimiko nodded and stood infront of the 'hostages' with a water balloon ready in one hand. "Have fun," Kimiko said.
Naomi nodded and realized that she only felt two energies in the house; Touya's energy was nowhere to be found inside the house. She looked at Jin and said, "You get Shishi and I'll get Suzuka. Deal?"
"Ahrahght, good luck," Jin said as he went off to find Shishi.
Naomi knew right where Suzuka was going to be and being able to feel his energy was an extra bonus. Naomi moved with more grace and elegance than a cat as she swiftly moved down stairs into the basement. I always knew someday he would work in a great lab. Oh well at least he's alone, Naomi thought when she only felt his energy. She was lucky, and Naomi knew that- she didn't have to worry about her own energy because of one of her rare qualities was that no matter how strong she got, she had no energy aura. This was one of the reasons why Koenma had let her and her family stay in the Human World; everyone in her demon family had the same unique ability along with many other things.
By now Naomi could see Suzuka standing with his back to her and he was working on something that looked like it came from a washing machine. Is that a washer part? You gotta be kiddin' me! All this time the 'Great and Beautiful Suzuka' has been fixing household appliances! What a riot, Naomi thought with a smirk. Okay back to the mission. It's either now or never.
Naomi, now quieter than the dead, closed more of the distance between the two as she reached for another water balloon and placed it in the center of the sling shot. With silent, quick movements she pulled back the elastic string that was attached to the sling shot and aim her wet weapon at Suzuka's head.
Not just yet, Naomi thought; her eyes watched the demon infront of her like a hawk as he either picked up a tool or held the item up in the light that was provided to inspect the small metal object. She waited calmly for the moment when Suzuka had nothing in his hands so that if he ever did notice her he wouldn't have anything in his hands that he could use as a weapon. Come Suzuka hurry it up already! I'm not gonna wait for you all day; now put the stupid thing down!
As if hearing Naomi's thoughts, Suzuka put down the screwdriver in his hand and the small metal object that was from the washing machine and sighed. "Chu," he mumbled to himself- still unaware of Naomi's presence. "Why you would ever try and wash clothes when you're drunk is a mystery to me." Suzuka lifted his head and looked at a clock.
Naomi also looked at the clock to see what the time was; but when she looked she didn't see what she wanted. She saw her own reflection in the glass of the clock. She saw her green eyes widen in shock and surprise. Shit! Naomi's mind screamed.
Without warning, Suzuka disappeared from infront of Naomi and by the time Naomi was able to find his aura it was too late.
Naomi found herself being punched in the jaw; she was sent flying into the wall that was across the room. The impact didn't hurt and Naomi quickly took aim and fired the water balloon before moving at inhuman speeds behind Suzuka as she kicked him with a round house kick to the back.
The kick forced Suzuka to slam into the balloon that burst when it made impact with Suzuka's unprotected 'package'. I guess it was a good thing that Kimiko found the water balloons that Suzuka gave me three years ago. What do you know; those things really do create more damage when they hit an unprotected object, Naomi thought happily as she watched the damage unfold.
While Suzuka was on the floor holding himself and cursing Naomi; Naomi used her energy to drain Suzuka of his remaining energy so that all of his strength was drained from his body.
"w-What are you? How are you?" Suzuka tried to ask but found that he didn't have the energy to finish asking his questions.
Naomi winked playfully, "That little trick? I learned it from my mom a few years back, but don't worry dear Suzuka." Naomi bent down and lifted Suzuka's head to that she looked him in the eyes. With his energy drained the most damaged he could possibly do was blink and that wasn't anywhere near enough to the power that he needed to fight Naomi. "You'll get your power back…eventually."
The last thing Suzuka was able to see was Naomi tying his feet up with something that looked like chains from off of one of Suzuka's shelf.
"That was way too easy," Naomi said to herself. After that she carried the sleeping Suzuka back to the living room so that she could help Kimiko watch Rinku and Chu.
Jin was now hiding out of sight from Shishiwakamaru by the bathroom. At the moment the bird demon was brushing his hair; lost in his imagination while he daydreamed about his fangirls.
Every few seconds or so Jin heard the samurai mutter, "Ladies please calm down, there's no need to fight. There's plenty of me to go around. Oh, of course I don't mind giving you my autograph. I do look beautiful don't I?"
Jin rolled his eyes; annoyed with the other demon's ego. God, Ah can' b'lieve 'im! He isn' tha' pretteh. Sheesh, Ah dun' 'ow Suzuka c'n stand it! Okay boyo, we'll see jus' 'ow pretteh ya think ya are wh'n Ah'm done wit' yeh. Jin's ears wiggled as he moved closer to his pray with a water balloon in his hand.
Shishiwakamaru was too busy daydreaming to notice Jin behind him as the said wind master floated on a cushion of air. Jin didn't really care if the samurai noticed him or not; just as long as he had his fun. But luckily for Jin, Shishiwakamaru didn't even realize that Jin was in the same room until he said, "Tahm ta give ya meh thanks fer getting' tha' lassie ta go on a date wit' meh!"
When Shishiwakamaru blinked out of surprised Jin popped the balloon over Shishi's head and then tackled him to the ground.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Shishiwakamaru snapped as he struggled to get free.
"Sayin' thanks!" Jin giggled with glee as he managed to sit on Shishiwakamaru's legs and pop another water balloon in the samurai's face. After a few more seconds of fighting, Jin had won by 'accidentally' knocking Shishiwakamaru out in his struggles to get another water balloon to pop in the samurai's face. "Well tha' was easeh." Jin said when he carried the bird demon into the living room where Kimiko and Naomi waited for him.
"What happened to him?" Kimiko asked when she saw Shishiwakamaru unconscious and his face wet. "Did you drown him?"
Naomi laughed, amused but also wondering what really happened, but Jin didn't say.
The last victim left was Touya; who was at the moment training in the back yard.
