Mizuki and Suzaku
"3!...2!...1!...START!" Koto yelled as she ran for cover. Mizuki took up her defensive stance with her feet pressed against the mat firml and her hand resting on the hilt of her sword. Suzaku came at her after a couple minutes of waiting. Mizuki had been waiting for it and she took her chance to run forward, close to the ground, she transformed into her demonic form in a mid leap, The bolt of lightning Suzaku had sent for her torso continued on and hit next to Takara and Aki as the bench blew into smithereens and the girls were thrown into the air.
"Gotcha Lassie!" Jin cried as he caught Takara bridal style. Takar agrabbed his shoulders immediatly as he helped her stand on her legs shakily. She stood there breathing heavily for a minute until she let go of Jin's shoulders and looked at Suzaku in a peeved manner. Aki had been caught by Touya but she seemed unaffected.
"MIZUKI KICK HIS ASS FOR TRYING TO ASSASINATE US!" Takara yelled with her hand balled into a fist. Mizuki had a grin on her face as the team noticed a small grin. Mizuki tried a leap at Suzaku but Suzaku moved out of the way just in time. He fired a lightning bolt at her but she transformed back to her human-like form, her curves just allowing her to miss the bolt.
"BEAT HIM TO A PULP!" Aki and Takara cried as Touya and Jin looked at eachother nervously with sweatdrops running down the side of their heads.
"C'MON MIZUKI!" Yusuke, Kurama, and Yukina were heard as Mizuki transformed again and made a dash at Suzaku. She grabbed a mouthful of his pant leg and sunk her teeth in until she drew blood, a swift kick from Suzaku collided with her ribs as she let out a pained whine and cracks returned the whine. She morphed back to her usual appearance, her mouth covered in blood, both her own and Suzaku's as she coughed up some blood from her broken ribs. She weakly stood up as Suzaku shifted his weight mostly to his right leg, She smiled as she noticed she could grab the upper hand. Taking her katana out she ran at Suzaku, swinging down, up, left and right with her blade as Suzaku barely dodged it. Mizuki used a quick kick to Suzaku's back as she swept the duller side of her blade across his chest. Blood gushed out as he stumbled out of bounds. Mizuki used her katana to hold her weight as she hoped with all her might, he stayed down.
"10! ...9! ...8! ...7! ...6! ...5! ...4! ...3! ...2! HE'S UP!" Koto yelled as Mizuki tried to back away, rsulting in her tripping, she fell on her back and noticed Suzaku had daggers in his hands, out of self edefense, she held her sword up straight as Suzaku came down, Mizuki felt his blood cover her as she threw him off and hurriedly moved away. Koto came over to test Suzaku's pulse, "Victory to Team Aikia!" Koto announced as Touya came over to Mizuki who stood there horrified.
"Mizuki!" Takara yelled as she ran up to her friend. She embraced her friend in a comforting hug. Even as Suzaku and Mizuki's blood seeped into Takara's clothing, Takara still held her friend tight until Mizuki's grip fell limp, "Mizuki? MIZUKI! KURAMA DOWN HERE NOW! AKI COME HERE AND HELP ME PULL HER OVER!" Takara yelled as Aki picked Mizuki up. Takara gathered Mizuki's weapons as she ran off the field to join the others. Murota and Touya just watched until Koto's voice brought them back to reality.
"...3! ...2! ...1! ...START!" Koto called out as she ran over to her safe spot. Touya's bangs blew to the right as he gathered up the cold air.
"BEAT HIM TO A PULP TOUYA!" Aki and Takara cheered as Kurama took care of Mizuki.
"Y' c'n be't 'im Tou'a!" Jin called as Takara thought up on the stuff she had heard about Murota.
"Aki, Murota is the boxing champ. of the area right?" Takara asked.
"Ya, why?" Aki asked.
"TOUYA! KEEP YOUR MIND CLOSED! HE'S A MIND READER!" Takara yelled as Murota growled. Takara held her head as she backed away and tripped over her feet, "Y-You bastard." Takara said as she fainted from the pain.
"I'll get you for that." Touya growled as Murota snickered. At every move Touya possessed Murota had a block, a dodge, or a counter attack. After almost half an hour of trying Touya had used up most of his energy and Murota delivered a knock-out punch.
"Takara, Takara wake-up, your next!" Aki said as she shook her friend. Jin had fetched some water and Aki took the bucket as she splashed Takara with the water. Takara sat up with a shrill scream as she sat there shivering with wide eyes for a minute.
"I-If I g-get p-pneumonia I b-b-blame you." Takara said.
"10! Point to Team Racer!" Koto yelled, "This last match will determine the fate of the semi-finals! Ruka, against Takara!" Koto yelled as Takara's freezing cold expression turned to that of cold, cruel delight.
"I'm going to enjoy this." Takara growled as she dropped the blanket that she had over her shoulders. Kurama watched as her icy stare fell on Ruka who met the stare evenly.
"Is there something we don't know about here?" Kurama asked.
"Yea...um, she kinda hates Ruka because she thinks Ruka is a slut and a disgrace to womankind." Aki replied, "Can't say I disagree there."
"...3! ...2! ...1! START!" Koto yelped as she ran to her safe spot. Takara got an immediate kick to Ruka's head followed by and uppercut and a final jab to the stomach before standing in a defensive position.
"Why isn't she using her powers?" Kurama asked.
"1, she was to close, 2, she wants to have fun on this and 3, she doesn't want it to immediatly end." Aki answered as Takara dodged a fire ball by falling into a straight spilt. Takara grabbed Ruka's legs with her own as she yanked. Ruka fell on her back as Takara landed her foot into Ruka's stomach.
"WHOO! CAT FIGHT!" Yusuke yelled.
"SHUT UP YUSUKE URAMESHI OR YOUR NEXT!" Takara yelled as Yusuke immediatly shut up. Ruka managed to slide out as Takara did a backflip out of the way of several lightning attacks, " MOVE IT OR LOSE IT GUYS!" Takara yelled a she moved to beat the lightning attacks and threw them at an un-used wall, in order to keep the attacks from hitting her teammates. Ruka threw a power spear at her back, landing it across her mid-back, "AHH! SHIT FUCKERS!" Takara screamed as she landed on her stomach, with a wave of her hand and made the spear disappear as she used a good portion of her strength to stand up. She blinked blearily as she blocked the, now dull, sounds of the crowd out of her head. She took a deep breath as she tightened her grip on her tsais. Ruka held up a power sword as Takara came at her, Takara swept her leg under Ruka's slashed the tsais in an 'X' across her back and used her other leg to grab Ruka's neck and squeeze with her other leg on the back of her neck. Ruka gasped for breath until she fell unconcious. Takara, showing mercy, rolled away from Ruka as the count down started.
"...3! ...2! ...SHE'S UP!" Koto yelled as Takara groaned and looked at her opponenet, she noticed her strength was being sapped out of her. She gripped her tsais and thrust it into Ruka's thighs. Ruka screamed in pain as Takara pulled her tsais out and stood up, she tried to walk to the side but the side effect of being nearly sapped of all energy was taking it's toll. Takara mustered up what energy she had left, she soaked Ruka with water and then used the wind to freeze her in a statue like state. The countdown began and ended as Takara got up from one knee and tried to walk over to the edge.
"Takara?" Kurama asked as Takara dropped her tsais accidentaly.
"Whoa, someone stop spinning the room." Takara muttered as she sunk to her knees. She fell forward onto her torso as everything began to go black.
"MATCH TO TEAM AIKIA!" Koto shouted as cheers echoed in the stadium.
" 'Ey! Lassie! Ya'll righ'?" Jin asked as Takara blinked slowly, "Lassie? EY LASS!" Jin asked worriedly as Takara welcomed the darkness and the lack of pain within it.
"TAKARA YOU SON OF A BITCH DON'T YOU DARE DIE AFTER WINNING AGAINST THAT BITCH!" Aki yelled as Takara groaned, trying to stay concious.
"It's alright Takara, you'll be fine." Kurama said softly over Takara's head, someone picked her tsias up and strong hands picked her up bridal style, "You can relax now, I've gotcha." Kurama added as Takara's body slowly lost it's tension and she welcomed the loss of pain.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Next Morning
"How's she doing?" Yusuke asked as Kurama looked up from next to Takara's bed.
"Okay, not great, luckily we got a day off for recouperation. I told the other girls to ship off and enjoy the day.
"Explain again how come Takara isn't healed and Mizuki healed in one night from broken ribs?" Yusuke asked.
"Well, Mizuki is full demon but Takara is only half which means she heals a little slower, plus I think Ruka had put something in or on the power spear." Kurama replied as he checked Takara's temperature. Yusuke pulled up a seat as Kurama looked at a chart he was fillin out, keeping track of her status.
"Any better?"
"Yes actually, it's gone down from 103.7 to 98.9, that's just .3 above normal." Kurama said as Yusuke smiled.
"Does that mean she could wake up soon?"
"Possibly."
"How soon."
"I don't know."
"Can't you see?"
"Stop whining, and no I can't. Why are you so anxious?"
"Because I wanted to take her out for a movie and some icecream with you and Keiko to."
"Hold on." Kurama checked Takara's pulse and her eyes, "Possibly in the next hour."
"AWESOME!"
"SHHH!"
"Sorry."
"Ow ow ow someone's elbow is in my leg!" Takara said blearily as Yusuke checked his arm and quickly put it on the chair.
"Sorry, mah bad." Yusuke admitted as Kurama shook his head. Takara opened her eyes and sat up slowly, with Kurama's help.
"This bandage is caked in blood." Takara commented, trying to get a 'no duh' out of them.
"Wow, your a real Sherlock Holmes." Yusuke said sarcastically.
"Cool, did I earn a cookie?" Takara asked as Yusuke erupted into laughter. Kurama smirked as Yusuke put the chair back where he got it.
"I'll get ya a cookie when you're downstairs." Yusuke added as he left to find Keiko.
"Here are the new bandages. We had to get you a kimono to wear temporarily, your clothes are being fixed by Genkai at the moment." Kurama said as Takara nodded, she went to the bathroom and grabbed the kimono on her way to the bathroom. She looked at the cut on her back and decided that she wouldn't need a bandage for the day. The kimono turned out to be black with red roses docrating it and a red obi with black roses, the kimono cut just below her knees and she put on a pair of sandals to go with it. She put her hair into a simplistic bun with a pair of chopsticks she had grabbed and came out of the bathroom.
"So where are we going?" Takara asked as she rubbed her eyes to get the sleep out of them. Kurama turned around and saw Takara in the nearly form fitting kimono, and couldn't help but stare...and stare...and stare...and stare some more, "Hello? Anyone home in there?" Takara asked as she waved her hand infront of Kurama's face. He snapped out of his trance.
"Huh wha?" He asked.
"Ya, Hi, Where are we going?" Takara asked as she fixed the long sleeves on the kimono.
"To the movie theaters. And then maybe out ot ice cream." Kurama said as Takara nodded.
"Sounds like fun...WAIT! Don't we have a match today!" Takara asked worriedly as Kurama laughed.
"No, we have the day off, both of our teams do." Kurama replied.
"...That means...that we're...facing eachother for the championship?" Takara asked as Kurama laughed nervously, knowing her competitive side she would start hammering them for even thinking about hanging out with her team.
"Um...ya." Kurama answered as Takara sighed in annoyance.
"Wonderful." Takara added as Kurama looked at her quizzically as she opened the door and stepped into the hallway, "Well? Ya comin?" She asked as Kurama followed her down to the lobby where Keiko and Yusuke were waiting.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZAfter The Movie, At The Ice Cream Shoppe
"Mm, it's sooo good." Takara said as she licked the soft ice cream and closed her eyes savoring the flavor.
"Well, at least she's not as bad as Hiei." Kurama muttered as the others nearly choked on their ice cream.
"That was good." Yusuke said.
"So we're going back after this right?" Keiko asked.
"NO! Let's go to the boardwalk and check out the stores!" Takara said happily as everyone gave her a creeped out look, "What...it looks like fun." She added softer. The others just smiled at her exuberance as they finished their ice cream. Kurama began to stare at the whipped cream on his sundae in indecision, "Don't like whipped cream?"
"It's not that...so much as I want to see someone's reaction to a certain immature action." Kurama replied as he scooped up some whip cream in his spoon.
"And who is that and what is the action?" Takara asked as she took a bite of her cone. Kurama looked as if he was in deep thought when Takara turned to ask him the question again. Kurama put the whipped cream from his spoon onto her nose as she sat there with ther whipped cream on her nose and her mouth ready to start yelling, except a laugh echoed out. Kurama, Yusuke and Keiko joined in afterwards as Kurama handed Takara a napkin. Takara wiped the whipped cream off her nose. They stood up and left for the boardwalk, but not before Takara got her revenge by wiping mint chocolate chip ice cream on Kurama's cheek.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Aki and Mizuki
"I KNOW WHAT WE CAN DO!" Mizuki suddenly cried, causing the other three people to jump. They were currently wallowing in dispare thinking of their friend/sister while walking along a path in the park.
"What can we do?" Aki asked.
"The boardwalk!" Mizuki exclaimed.
"No." Sesshoumaru and Hiei said at the same time.
"YES!" Aki and Mizuki cried as they ran in the direction of the boardwalk.
"Do we kill them now, or later?" Sesshoumaru grumbled.
"Hn." Hiei muttered as they both followed the girls at a bored walk.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Boardwalk
"WAHHOOOO!" Takara's voice came from above as Yusuke and Keiko looked up from the cotton candy they were sharing, Yusuke began to laugh as he spotted Kurama holding the bar of the roller coaster for dear life, his jaw locked, and his eyes wide, while Takara was laughing, having the time of her life screaming, and throwing her hands into the air.
"Looks like those two are having fun." Keiko remarked sarcastically as Yusuke draped his arm around her shoulders.
"What do you wanna do?" Yusuke asked as Keiko thought for a moment, then pointed to the ferris wheel with the cars that reminded Yusuke of bubbles, "That looks fun." He said as they headed over. The coaster stopped and Takara and Kurama came off, their hair had gotten tangled together and Takara laughed as she pulled the other woozy fox over out of the way of other people. She began to de-tabgle their hair from each other's as Kurama focused on something familiar to sooth his stomach. He picked up the scent of Dragon's Blood, the bitter smell attacking his nose as he tried to figure out who or what it belonged to.Kurama stood a bit straighter, having had to bend a bit so that Takara could get their hair apart. She finger brushed her hair and put it up in a bun as she sniffed the air.
"Vanilla caramel mix, that's Keiko, Mud, that's Yusuke, Chocolate dipped in sugar, Egyptian Moonflower, Ocean Mist, and Oak. Aki, Mizuki, Sesshoumaru, and Hiei!" Takara said as she looked over towards the entrance excitedly.
"Not to fast please." Kurama said as Takara was about to run over. She stopped when he said that and turned around, supressing a laugh.
"Apparently we found what Kurama does NOT enjoy." Takara said as she saw the group coming over to check on Kurama.
"TAKARA!" The girl's voices screamed as Takara was thrown into Kurama who landed on his back with Takara on him and Aki and Mizuki hugging Takara.
"Hi...guys." Takara said with a muffled voice, seeing as how her face had landed in Kurama's chest.
"I hope he doesn't bring his lunch to visit." Sesshoumaru muttered seeing the pale green Kitsune under the Robbed Trio.
"Hn, hey fox! Are you okay?" Hiei asked.
"Just...fine." Kurama replied weakly.
"Girls...you're squishing...me and...Fox-kun." Takara muttered into Kurama's chest as Kurama repressed a laugh at the fact that she was tickling his chest, by accident.
"Sorry!" Mizuki said as she got up, pulling Takara and Aki with her. Takara was 'attacked' again as Mizuki and Aki hugged her tighter.
"I have to go back to the hotel now don't I?" Takara said sadly.
"Yup, you are not ramming around ANYMORE." Mizuki said as she and Aki dragged her with them. Hiei and Sesshoumaru helped Kurama up as he laughed nervously at the girls. They followed after and eventually fell asleep in their designated spots (the order is Takara-floor, Kurama-bed, Hiei-floor, Mizuki-bed, Sesshoumaru-floor, and Aki-bed).
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
8:00 AM
"I hate early morning matches." Aki muttered as she and Mizuki followed after Jin and Touya. Takara was awaiting their arrival in the lobby for their match which actually began at 10:00 AM but the contestants were forced to an early morning wake-up call.
"Me two, but not as much." Mizuki replied as they spotted Takara and Yusuke discussing something in the cafe. Team Urameshi was at a larger table as they spotted Team Aikia, they waved them over as the team sat down. Both teams received coffee and they tried to hear what the captains were saying, seeing the serious faces they were holding. They nodded to each other, stood, bowed and Takara clapped her hands and slapped her face gently as if too wake herself from a dream. She smiled cheerily at her team as she sat down in a chair across from Genkai. She began to talk to Genkai about the Rei-gun and possibilities of learning how to use it.
"Excuse me miss, but the table over there has sent these to wish you and your team good luck in today's match." A young wolf waitress said as she set down some drinks.
"Tell them thank-you but we won't be drinking until after the match has been successfully completed." Takara said as she held her hand up to her team who was about to attack the drinks.
"Awwww, t'ats no fai' lassie!" Jin said dissappointedly as the waitress curtseyed and took the tray back to the other tbale. She told the team that had made the motion, the message Takara had sent.
"Watch you imbecile." Takara snapped as the waitress nodded to the table and left. The demons turned to themselves as Takara continued to talk to Genkai. She felt the eyes of the other demons as her team and team Urameshi watched in silence as she kept her gaze on Genkai. One of the demons (A grotesque man with horns protruding from the purple skin on his arms and shins) came over and placed his hand on Takara who turned her head, ever so politely with an innocent smile, "Hello sir, may I help you?" She asked cheerily. The demon appeared taken aback for a minute, but continued on his mission.
"You're pretty keen there Hanyou." The demon said in a gruff voice. Mizuki noticed a twitch in Takara's arm as Takara's face remained smiling.
"What do you mean sir?" She asked sweetly.
"You know exactly what I mean. With the drinks." The demon answered as he 'hmph'-ed and left with the other demons to the crowds of the arena. Takara's hand shook as she stood up and bowed to the teams.
"I'll meet you all at the arena. Oh, and guys, don't eat or drink anything courtesy of another team." Takara said to her team as Touya snickered at the gaze Takara was giving Jin as if to say 'Especially you, you moron.'
"Where are you going?" Mizuki asked.
"No wheres." Takara replied as she left the cafe. Genkai was staring at a hole in the table, as if impressed by something.
"Genkai, what is it?" Kurama asked.
"Ya Grandma, what is it?" Aki asked as they all looked at the hole.
"The drinks that you were so keen on drinking, one of them splashed on the table a bit, I was watching it while Takara left. This, was the result of it." Genkai said, pointing to the hole.
"This table could've been us!" Mizuki and Aki cried in shock. They were ignored as Team Urameshi tried to figure some things out.
"So you're saying that Takara either sensed or smelt the poision in those drinks even before they came over to the table?" Kurama asked as Genkai nodded and got up, stretching.
"Well, we better get going to the arena, Takara will come in time for the match, no need to worry." Genkai said as everyone nodded and began to go to the arena.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Some place, some where
"It really is amazing to see these girls, and then imagine them when they were younger." A cool, crisp femine voice said as the clicks of heels added to her voice.
"Madame, they are here." A monotonious femine voice said as the clicks stopped. She looked up, her eyes covered by shadows, her small nose and thin black painted lips were the only things visible. She wore a long sleeved black dress that hung limply around her figure as another figured cloaked in black stepped ahead of the woman with black hair to match her dress.
"Hello Arnal." The first lady said. She was dressed in a long white see through dress with a red bikini underneath. her face was elegant and suffisticated with a hint of malice.
"Lady Bao, I have kept my eyes on her. May I now leave her be?" Arnal asked as the woman (now identified as Bao) walked smoothly up to him, her bare feet tapping the ground quietly, nearly inaudible. She placed her index and middle finger under Arnal's chin and lifted it up, then slapped him across the face with her other hand. Arnal quickly covered his cheek that had begun to bleed.
"You may not." Lady Bao said as she turned to the woman in the corner. Bao's face was much like the other woman's covered in shadows, save for her petite nose and full lips. Her golden curls tumbling over her shoulders in golden rivers. The scene faded as Bao's mouth curled in a snarl, "Charna, explain to Arnal why he may not stop watching over the girl." Bao said as she left the room quietly. Charna (the woman who had first appeared) came over with a whip and a knife as Arnal's screams of pain filled the room and darkness.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Takara
Takara's eyes snapped open as she stood up from her meditating area, shaking from her vision of the women and Arnal. Agreeably, she didn't like Arnal, but no one deserved that form of torture. She walked to the door, checking the time and rushing to the arena, wher eshe made it just in time to be accounted for and hear the first fight, Mizuki vs. Hiei.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
