A/N: Welcome to chapter fourteen of my Shaman King fan fiction. We are only seven chapters till the end, counting this one. If I write these quickly enough, I should have a chapter every two days until the end. Wouldn't that be nice? To recap what happened last chapter- Ren found out that Horo was actually one of the aliens. Horo told him to distances himself from Pirika to protect her and Ren is going to do just that. What will happen next? Well, read on! Oh just a note… some of this stuff in the chapter I hadn't originally meant to do. It just came out. Like the whole… we'll you'll see.
Disclaimer- I do not own Shaman King. It belongs to it's creator Hiroyuki Takei and the people who did the manga and anime. Also, Kingdom Hearts does not belong to me. It belongs to who it created it, and does not belong to me. I only own the plot line of the story, if I even own that considering this is all for fun. Don't sue me!
Chapter Fourteen: Member Number Four
Sàix found C'rintri laying in a pool of his own blood, his eyes shut and his heart beat slow. The demon must have gotten the best of him this time around, he noted. Picking up his comrade, he teleported back to their ship.
Zexion watched them go down the hallway and he couldn't help but follow them. "What happen?'
"C'rintri didn't succeed on capturing the demons," Sàix replied and his brother nodded his head.
"Stabbed him straight though the chest. How painful."
He still sounded uncaring even though his words made him sound like he felt pity for the boy. He didn't really hold it against him because that was the way he was. He always seemed uncaring. They went around the corner and suddenly Sàix stopped.
"What's wrong?"
"Your going to go soon, to capture the demon. You'll most likely die."
"If that is my fate…"
Sàix put down C'rintri and hugged his brother for a moment. Zexion was caught off guard but he smiled. "I do not want you to die."
He out his hand on his shoulder and kissed his cheek. "Do not be sad. I go out to do our master's will. Nothing bad will come of it."
Sàix didn't replay but burred his head in his shoulder.

Days passed, and the world around the former Flame Inn was peaceful for once. By the decision of Anna had spent the days training for battle. The only one that had not joined them for training was Ren, who spent most of the time in his locked room. He needed to be away from her had left Pirika emotionally drained. So she put all of her energies into training. That seems to help a little.
Eventually a few days after the defeat of the alien of water, Pirika found herself once again sitting by a certain flame user. They both sat on the railing that Anna had bought for training, shipping on a soda. Pyro looked up at the dark sky and then looked around at the dieing plants. He sighed deeply.
"What's wrong," Pirika asked, even though she knew the answer. She just wanted to hear it from him.
"I hate what these guys are doing to this planet. It's just like-" he caught himself wanting to say something that would give him away so he shut his mouth.
"Like what?"
"It's nothing."
"Sounds to me like it was something," Pirika noted, and gave him her first playful smirk in days. He smirked himself and she began to giggle.
"This is amusing. A little girl and a traitor, just enjoying their peace. To bad it can't last."
Landing in front of them, Zexion turned his head to where he was looking at Pyro. He narrowed his blue eyes and shook his head. "Even though Sàix dislikes you more, I still hate you. I think I will handle you first."
He didn't even get a change to attack when Ren flew down, his expression grim. Pirika wanted to hug him but he didn't even look at her. He didn't even want to look at her, it seemed. She just turned her attention back to the alien, who was smiling grimly.
"There you are errdegahr. I was wondering when you would arrive."
"Sorry I took so long," Ren said sarcastically.
"No it's alright," he replied with an equal amount of sarcasm. "Let's just get this over with. I'm suppose to deal with you quickly so I can return to Sàix."
"Oh… brother/brother love."
Zexion attacked Pyro first for his comment with a long Katana, forcing him back. Violet energies cut at Pyro but he just smirked. He summoned up his two blades of fire and parried him. Ren joined the fight, using a kon down made of shadow. The alien just kept focus and didn't replay to his inference.

"C'rintri, wake up."
He opened his eyes and saw that his master was watching him. He grunted as he sat up, and then turned his eyes to him.
"Jabbak?"
"Your finally awake," Sol-zehn said coldly, his arms crossed. "I couldn't help but be worried about you when you didn't return with the errdegahr."
He rubbed his eyes, fighting off the urge to smile sheepishly. "I am sorry, Jabbak."
"You're my hair C'rintri. I can not have you die."
"Yes."
"So for the time being you'll be staying here in the safety of the flag ship." He turned his back to him and headed to the door. "Obey me."
"Yes Jabbak."
He left the room and as soon as the door closed Horohoro kicked the wall. Now he remembered the real reason he had accepted the mission to earth. That man was infuriating. He crossed his arms as he sat on the bead and pouted. How was he going to help the others stuck here? Suddenly though he smirked.
"Jabbak!"
His lord came back in, looking slightly confused for once. "What's is it?"
"We're heading home, aren't we?"
"Yes. Why?"
He just smiled. He knew what to do."

Pyro stabbed his sword into Zexion's shoulder, causing the alien to cringe in pain and back away. They were beating him, but he had expected that. He planned battles far better then he fought them. But they were not going to win.
"Growing tired," Pyro asked, smirking. "You suck at fighting so bad."
Zexion just smirked.
"Seems to me like he has more planed for us then we expected," Ren muttered.
He flew back and made his long katana vanish. He began to chant and the chanting caused Ren to stop dead in his tracks. He grabbed Tammy and began to fly off.
"Hurry up guys and run. He is creating a portal. We have to get away!"
But it was already too late. Zexion's body busted open and waves of violet energies wrapped around the area. Where his body had been was a pulsating vortex that sucked them in. They tried not to get trapped by it but not even Pyro or Ren could escape it. They were pulled in, and thrown out the other side.
----
"Damnit Jabbak! Why did you make Zexion fight them? Why?!"
Sàix fought the urge to pound his fist into his master's chest and just yelled at him. His hands were in fist, and his eyes were narrowed to slits. He knew that Marluxia and C'rintri were there, but his rage kept him from caring. His master looked at him coolly, and shook his head.
"You knew as well as I did the out come of this battle. Besides, he was the only one of us could create a big enough portal so they would end up on out world."
"But why?"
"You're a fool for caring. Let it go."
He just left the room and Horo could not help but feel a little sorry for Sàix. The man had been his brother so of course he had felt the lost strongly. The Jabbak didn't seem to care at all, but when did he really? He stole a look at his master before following after Sàix.
Time to set up the players.
A/N: dunks away from angry fans I won't say sorry! It just happened like it happened. I don't have any control over my abilities when I write. Stuff just comes out the way it does. You got to deal with that when you read my stuff. So I hope you enjoy it! Till next time!
