Chapter 3: Monster Hunt
Hiei, Atticus, who was carrying the unconscious Jaden on his back, Jade and Jordan were heading towards the Slifer Dorm and spotted the others in front.
"Hey guys!" Jade called out
The others looked up and spotted Jaden, who was unconscious at the moment and getting carried onto his back, "Jaden!" Syrus called out, "What happened?" Hassleberry asked
"We found him in the forest," Hiei replied
"And that's not all that was found," Jordan said.
"What are you talking about?" Aster asked
"Jordan, here, claims that he saw some kind of monsterous creature in the woods," Atticus replied
Jordan glared at Atticus, "I saw it," he said, "I really saw a monster in the woods." He added, pointing at the wood.
"A monster!" Syrus and Ryoko exclaimed, in fear.
"A monster in the woods," Yusuke repeated, "It's possibly a wild animal or one of those Society of Light guys trying to give you a scare."
"That's what I said," Jade said.
"No! I saw them!" Jordan said, "When I was looking for Judai, I ran into Chazz Princeton……"
"Wait, you saw Chazz!" Keiko said, still angry with the spiky haired boy for brainwashing Alexis.
"Where did Princeton go!?!" Kari asked, in an angry tone, "He's long due for a punch in face."
"I was getting to that," Jordan replied, "The demon I saw went behind Chazz and attacked him from behind."
"So, in others words, you don't know if Chazz is even alive or dead, right?" Sasuke asked
Jordan shook his head, in reply, "Once I saw the monster's face after it attacked Chazz, I ran away before it attacked me!"
"Hold on," Naruto said, "Maybe this monster, that Jordan's talking about, was the one, who kidnapped Jaden from the infirmary."
"Not exactly Naruto," Sasuke said.
"I concur," Bastion said, "If this creature actually kidnapped Jaden and if it's the kind that would attack a person from behind, from what we've been told by Jordan, then Jaden would have been killed by now."
"And plus, we didn't find scratches on Jaden any wear," Atticus added
"Oh!" Naruto replied
"So, there's a chance that Chazz didn't survive," Sakura said.
"But if there's some kind of demon out there in forest, then all of us aren't safe," Ryoko said.
"Well, it looks we have ourselves a monster to catch, soldiers," Hassleberry said, with his arms crossed
"Hold it, Hassleberry," Syrus said. "What do you mean by 'us'?" Jordan asked
"'Us' as in all of us, privates," Hassleberry replied, "Women and children stay behind."
"You don't say," Jordan said, as he took a step behind, "Well, you guys tell me hope the hunt goes, see ya!"
Hassleberry catches the blonde by the back collar, "Hold it, Private Rhodes," he said, "If I recall, you are neither woman nor a child."
"Oh man……" Jordan muttered
"We need to find that monster before it attacks other student. We'll spread out through the forest in teams to make find this monster a lot easier." Yusuke added
"I'm coming, also," Kari said, "Just if we happen to run into Princeton, I want to greet him with my fist!"
"Hold on, sis, we don't know if Chazz, is either alive or dead, yet." Yusuke said and turned to Atticus, "Hey Atticus, hand Jaden over, I'll take him back to his room."
"And I'm coming also," Jade said, "It's my job as spirit detective to do so."
Yusuke helped Atticus to get Jaden's body off of him and placed Jaden's arm on his shoulder, "Hold on, bro," Kari said, placing Jaden's other arm on her shoulder and the Urameshi twins carried the unconscious brunette towards the Slifer Dorm, "You need help."
"Thanks sis," Yusuke said, "We'll take Jaden to Banner's old room."
"Hold on, Yusuke," Keiko said, as she and Kagome, were coming to the twins.
"We'll get Jaden to Banner's place, while you guys find that monster." Kagome said, as she and Keiko got Jaden off of the twins' shoulders
"Thanks girls," Kari said.
The Ra Yellow girls carried Jaden all the way to Banner's room and Keiko knocked on the door. To answer was Jin, "Hey girls," he greeted
"Hey Jin," Keiko said, "We have to protect Jaden from the Society of Light."
Jin examined the unconscious brunette, "What happened to the boyo?" he asked.
"We don't know." Kagome replied, "Someone came into his room and kidnapped him, then took him into the forest."
"Plus, we think there's something about some kind of monster in forest."
Jin gasped in surprised, "A monster you say!"
"A monster!"
The girls looked up to see Inuyasha walking towards, "You two aren't pulling our legs, aren't you?" he asked
"No!" Keiko replied, "Jordan Rhodes told us that he saw a demon attacking Chazz Princeton from behind."
"By now, the little man must be dead if he was attacked by that monster." Inuyasha said.
"The guys, with the exception of us, are chasing this demon, before it kills another student." Kagome said, "We don't know if Chazz is either alive or dead."
"But he has to be dead, Kagome," Inuyasha said, "No vicious monster, which would attack from behind, would leave a human left alive. But, I'll help to see that this monster is eliminated, before it kills another human."
"But first we need to place Jaden somewhere safe, so that the Society of Light won't get him." Keiko said, as she and Kagome were walking into the room and placing Jaden's back onto the couch.
"Hey where are Chu, Daichi, Sakura and Touya?" Kagome asked.
"Those guys must be sleeping right now," Inuyasha replied
Jin walked by the stairs, "Hey ya lazy bums, wake up already!" he called.
Sakura, Daichi and Chu came down the stairs looking a bit beady eyed, "Why ya wake me up, Jin?" Chu complained, rubbing his eye.
"I was having a peaceful sleep, too." Daichi added.
"Too bad, Dai," Keiko said, "Our assignments are to protect Jaden from the Society of Light."
"Don't worry about him," Daichi said, with a smirk
"If those Society Blokes try and come here, then they'll get a good ole fashion ass whipping from ole Chu." Chu added
"Thanks you guys." Kagome said.
Inuyasha walked out the door, "Inuyasha, where are you going?" Kagome asked
"I'm going to help your friends," Inuyasha said, adjusting his sword handle and smirked, "Besides, it's been a while since I'd had to fight a monster." Inuyasha dashed off, "Be careful!" Kagome called out.
-With Hiei, Syrus, Jordan, Jade and Hassleberry-
Syrus was shaking in fear, 'A monster hunt.' He thought, as he was walking behind Hassleberry, who was in front, 'We're probably be eaten for this.'
Jordan was shaking in his legs as he was walking and gulped, 'Why am I doing this?' he thought and looked at Jade, who was walking beside him, 'Oh yeah!' and regained his courage, (A/N: Did I forget to mention that both Jordan and Jade haven't confessed their feelings to each other, yet?)
"Please, don't tell me that you're shaking in fear," Hiei said, eying Syrus.
"Me, scared!" Syrus said, in a panicking tone and laughed, "Yes!"
Hiei rolled his eyes, "Typical human behavior……" he muttered
-With Yusuke, Aster, Kari and Sasuke-
Sasuke was jumping from tree to tree, "Hey Sasuke, any sign of that monster around?" Yusuke shouted
"No, not yet," Sasuke replied, as he jumped from the tree and landed on the ground.
Aster was walking with his arms crossed in an annoyed expression, "Why are we looking for something that's a figment of someone's imagination?" he asked, "It was probably a wild animal that attacked Chazz."
"I don't know," Kari said, "But we have to find this thing before it attacks another student."
Aster rolled his eyes at this, "We've been walking aimlessly for 20 minutes and we found no demon." He said, which was annoying Kari.
The brunette glared at the Pro League duelist, "Look Phoenix, you're already third on my ass-kick list," she seethed, remember that Aster was the one, who changed Zane, into what he is now, "Don't make me use your as an example on what I'm gonna do to Sartorius and Princeton, if he's even alive and breathing!"
"Touch me and I'll sue!"
Yusuke and Sasuke got in between Aster and Kari, before the argument continued, "Okay guys, break it up!" Yusuke said
-With Bastion, Naruto, Sakura and Atticus-
Bastion turned his flashlight to every bush, but no signs of anything out of the ordinary, "Guys, any luck?" he asked
Atticus shook his head, "No luck, man." He said, "This thing must be a crafty one that's for sure." Sakura said.
Atticus sighed and looked up, "Hey Naruto, any luck!"
Naruto jumped from the tree branch and landed on the ground, "No luck!"
"Oh man!"
-With Hiei and the Ra Yellows-
"Hey guys, any……luck?" Syrus asked
"No," Jade replied, "I'm not sensing any signs of demonic energy."
"The same with me." Hiei added.
"Great……" Syrus muttered
Just then, there was a ruffle in the bushes, which spooked Jordan, enough to get behind Hiei.
Hiei sends a death glare at the blonde and pushes him away, "Back away, human!" the ruffle continued.
Syrus was really getting scared, "What…is that?" he asked.
"I don't know," Hassleberry said.
From the bushes came out a pair of golden orbs, "Inuyasha!" Jade said.
Inuyasha came out of the bushes and walked towards the four, "What are you doing here, half breed?" Hiei sneered
Inuyasha returned the glare, "Well, I'm helping you guys find this monster that Keiko and Kagome's talking about," he replied.
"Did you find that monster?" Hassleberry asked
"Not yet," Inuyasha replied.
"Great……" Syrus was shaking
"Yeah……" Jordan was shaking also
-In Spirit World-
"WHAT!" yelled an angry Koenma, "A MONSTER ON ACADEMY ISLAND!!"
Botan had told Koenma about the demon, that attacked Chazz Princeton, "Yes, sir." She said, "Hikari Urameshi, the Konoha ninjas and the boys, with the exception of Jaden Yuki, who's unconscious at the moment are finding this creature."
Koenma nodded in his in affirmation, "And somehow, you say that Chazz Princeton was attacked?"
"That's right," Botan replied, "We don't know if he's either alive or dead."
Koenma nodded, "I'll be sure to have Jade and Hiei look at this and get Kurama and Kuwabara to Academy Island on this at once."
"Yes sir!" Botan said, in a bow
