A/N: Suddenly, a random update appears! It's been what, two or three years? If you are interested in why exactly I am updating all of a sudden, head on over to my LJ for Nabari no Ou. The URL is nyanja14(dot)livejournal(dot)com . In fact, you should head over there anyway, because if you read my fanfic on there you get to see the ~~pretty images~~ I have accompanying it. A few more updates will be appearing throughout the day, and once I hit 20, these will be up on my livejournal as well.
All of these are un-beta-ed and most were written late at night. So please let me know if you spot errors!
(I'm going with Yen Press' spelling of "Shinrabanshou.")
018: EYE (1/3)
The Shinrabanshou was here. There was no mistaking the wild aura twisting and pulsing around the boy. Yukimi and others hadn't noticed, but the ki dripping from Yoite's body made him hypersensitive to people's presences.
Yoite regarded the Shinrabanshou bearer carefully, trying to still his rapid thoughts. He could probably take the bearer now—from what little Yoite had observed of his battle skills it was obvious that the boy was largely untrained. But the man he'd engaged earlier was a different story. His unsealing technique was troublesome and he certainly wouldn't let Yoite kidnap the Shinrabanshou without a fierce fight.
And much as Yoite hated to acknowledge it, he was tiring fast. The hijutsu was his only chance of fulfilling his goal. He couldn't afford to be hasty.
Yoite raised his hand, mind made up. He fired a fragment of his ki, sinking it deep into the boy's right eye. The best thing to do for now was to wait… and observe.
