Chapter 19: Soul Tearing Spell
Chills ran up Ayame's spine do to the fact that our favorite little fire demon continued to glare at Ayame though the corner of his eyes. Roshi cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.
"Okay next up is Rei…"
"I JUST WENT!"
"Too bad! As I was saying Rei vs. Katsuro."
"ALRIGHT!" yelled Katsuro.
"NO NO NO NO NO NO!" yelled Rei shaking the death out of Hiei.
"Lets go Rei!"
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
Five seconds after Roshi said go Rei was sitting on Katsuro's back eating a cup of Raman. The gold section started cracking up.
"Good job getting beat again, Katsuro!"
"Yeah! This is about the hundredth time this year and the year just started!"
"Where'd she get the Raman?" asked Yuu. Silence quickly replaced the laughter. Everyone turned and looked at Ayame, for he was her best friend and best friend know everything about each other…right? Ayame put two fingers on his chin.
"Well, it's very complicate and involves a vast amount of knowledge in physics and aero dynamics," he said nodding.
"In other words…" started Ami.
"You don't know either," finished the rest of the gold. Ayame let out a nervous laugh.
"I may not know but at least I already had my first kiss!"
"And who says I haven't?" said Rei appearing right in front of him. Everyone except Kurama and Hiei's jaw dropped.
"What? Who?" yelled Ayame. Rei looked from left to right and pulled Ayame away from the stadium.
"WHAT!" came Ayame's voice.
"SHUT UP!"
"BUT WHY HIM!"
"BECAUSE!" A few seconds later they both came back.
"First date?" asked Ayame. Rei didn't say anything.
"Second kiss?" Still no answer.
"My little Rei's growing up!" Rei side kicked him in the head.
"Shut up."
"WHO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!" everyone yelled.
"It was Hiei," said Yusuke and Kuwabara. Rei and Hiei froze.
"HOW THE HELL!" they both yelled. They turned their heads to Kurama.
"I didn't tell them," he said calmly.
"Botan told us."
"I'll kill her!"
"I knew it," came Kai's voice. Everyone jumped at his sudden appearance.
"I thought you didn't like these silly little human battles," said Rei.
"I don't."
"Then why are you here?" Kai walked towards Rei with a smirk on his face. With his speed he planted his lips right on Rei's. Everyone's jaw dropped and fire surrounded Hiei. Kai pulled away and smirked. Rei's face went into disgust.
"Bye!" Wind whipped around Kai and he was gone.
"As interesting as this is, we have a exam to continue. Rei lets go!" said Roshi.
"AGAIN!"
"Yup. You and Ayame." Rei and Ayame smirked at each other. It started out as a normal fistfight but soon turned into an all out war. Ayame had turned dark…scary. What's worst is when he turns dark Rei turns soon after. Rei put a gun to Ayame's head and growled. Ayame's eyes glowed blue and giant icicles rose from the ground making Rei back away from Ayame. One of the icicles cut Rei in the hand making her bleed…two words, not good. Rei's back was towards Ayame. When she turned back around her eyes where glowing gold and…oh yeah, she had her rocket launcher in her hands. Ayame's jaw dropped, along with everyone else.
"I surrender! I SURRENDER!" he yelled, throwing his hands up. Rei's eyes went back to normal and a smile appeared.
"Well all righty then!" she said.
"Well…I guess that means Rei wins," said Roshi. Ayame went to sulk in the corner while Rei jumped up and down. While jumping, Rei accidentally pulled the trigger of the rocket launcher. The rocket shot off into the air and exploded in the sky.
"Opps…sorry." Master Roshi just sighed.
"It's fine. I really don't expect anything else from you."
"What's that suppose to mean!"
"Exactly what it sounds like. Zoe vs. Rei."
"What? Give me a chance to breathe first!"
"No." Zoe faced Rei and stared her deep into the eyes. Rei blinked a couple of times before saying anything.
"I GIVE UP!" she yelled. Everyone face faulted.
"YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" everyone yelled.
"Okay," said Zoe. Everyone face faulted again.
"I don't see why you're all surprised. They do this every year."
"Yes!" shouted Rei.
"Well this should dampen your spirit!" a happy Roshi said, "Rei vs. Pyro!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Rei yelled in agony and despair. Rei started hopping around in a circle. "Can I at least have a five minute break to go to the bathroom?"
"Go ahead," he sighed.

Five minutes later…
A man about the age of 20 with red-orange eyes and orange-red hair with blue tips stood there waiting impatiently for our little half-breed friend to come back for the potty.
"She's late," he growled.
"Relax Pyro. It's not like she's going to skip," said Roshi. As soon as he said that Rei came skipping up.
"You're late!"
"A black cat crossed my path…"
"Don't even finish it," said Roshi. "Lets get this over with."
"My, my look how you've grown," came a smooth voice. Rei's eyes widen and whipped her head to the side. Sitting on the ledge that separated the stands form the platform was a strange man. He had light brown hair with a long piece that went to his chin, dark green eyes, a green jewel on his forehead and was wearing his a silver robe, hood down. There was a tattoo on his neck but the hood of the robe was covering it. Leaning against his body was a wooden rod, like what a wizard would have.
"How did you get through the barrier?" yelled Rei.
"You know as well as I do that barriers are my specialty."
"What do you want?" The man smirked and disappeared into thin air. Rei eyes narrowed and she began to look around cautiously.
"Looking for me?" The man appeared behind Rei with his rod choking her. A growl came and everyone saw Fang running towards Rei but a blur rushed by knocking Fang out of his path. The thing that knocked him down was a much bigger tiger, bigger then a normal tiger. On it's forehead was a similar green jewel as the mystery man. Rounds its neck was beautiful jeweled necklace with jade stones around it. Seeing that fang was preoccupied with fighting the tiger, Pyro and Hiei both ran towards Rei but were thrown back by a green barrier. Did that stop Hiei? Nope. He began to slash at the barrier and kept slashing until Kurama held him back.
"Again I ask, what the hell are you doing here, Jiyuu?" choked Rei.
"My majesty wants me to show you what it would feel like if she took control." The top part of his rod began to glow green. As soon as the glowing stopped he backed up from Rei and she fell to her knees, holding her chest. "So you won't scream in front of you team and you're in so much pain. Such a strong will for a little girl." Rei swung her leg out at him but he just dodged. "Still have energy to fight too? You've trained. No matter. The spell will ware off at midnight. I'm afraid that's all your body can handle. You my have the spirit of a demon but you still have the body of a human. Ta ta!" In a puff of smoke he vanished along with the tiger. Fang slowing got up and walked over to Rei. Rei grabbed on to him a slowly rose. Her face went emotionless showing no pain but her friends knew better. Her eyes showed pain.
"I…have to go to the bathroom…again. Tomorrow I'll fight you Pyro." Pyro nodded and walked away. Rei slowly crept towards the hall that lead out of the arena. Her friends offered to help but she just walked past them with Fang following. Everyone started pushing Hiei forward. He got the hint and followed after Rei.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
"I know I shouldn't be asking this but can you go check on Kai, Fang?" asked Rei in the dark hallway. She was leaning against the, now covered with dents, wall. Her fists were bleeding pretty badly along with Fang's front two paws.
"Of course," said Fang. Fang dashed off but not before one last look at Rei. Kyoto came out and stood buy her.
"I wish there was something I could do, but I can't break spells. At least not his," she said.
"It's okay." Kyoto punched the wall only to have her fist go straight through it.
"Damn I'm so mad I can't even concentrate on making me solid! I feel so helpless! I hate that feeling!" Rei chuckled and then winced.
"I hate that feeling to." The sound of footsteps echoed throughout the hallway. Kyoto disappeared and Rei turned her head to her new visitor.
"Who was that guy?" asked Hiei. A new emotion was in Hiei's eyes; worry. There was only a little but it was still there. Rei didn't answer only looked at the floor.
"Onna if he's our enemy-" Rei whipped head to him.
"HE'S NOT- He's not an enemy," she yelled at first but calmed down.
"Then who was he!" Rei just shook her head. Hiei sighed but didn't push it any farther. "At least tell me what he did."
"He put a spell on me."
"Spell? What kind?"
"I'm…I'm not sure but it feels like my souls being ripped apart. I don't think…I don't-" Rei never got to finish her sentence because of pain she couldn't take anymore and just passed out. Hiei using his super cool speed was able to catch her before she hit the ground.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
"How did it go, Jiyuu?" asked the shaggy haired guy from two chapters ago. Only difference was he had no tiger ears or strips or golden eyes. He had shaggy light brown/blonde hair and gray eyes. Around his forehead was a red headband.
"Yes my lord, but don't you think that was a little harsh?" asked Jiyuu.
"We have no choice. It's the only way," he said sadly.
"I don't see why we need her anyway. She's just a half breed!" growled a very tall muscular man. His eyes were an onyx color with flecks of gold in them. He wore what looked like samurai armor just with out the top part and he wore a helmet. On his left should was a bandage.
"A half breed that is stronger than you," said another man. He had long brown hair up in a ponytail and had dull green eyes. He was a little taller then Yusuke and was much skinnier than the man next to him.
"What was did you say?"
"You really are stupid aren't you?"
"ERRR!"
"You two stop it. Can't you see the master is getting a headache?"
"Sorry," they both said.
"The next faze of our plan will take place in one month," said the leader.
"Yes my lord," said the three guys.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\\/\/\/\\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
Screams form Rei was heard all the way down to the living room. The gang was all gathered around the living room feeling horrible because they couldn't do anything.
"I don't see how someone who's not an enemy can do that to someone," said Kuwabara.
"Poor Rei," said Keiko.
"I hope she'll be okay," said Yukina.
"Where's Hiei?" asked Botan.
"With Rei," said Kurama. A few seconds later Kai came bursting in.
"Where's Rei? How is she?" he panted.
"Kai?" yelled everyone.
"What?"
"Should you be in pain like Rei?" asked Kurama.
"I should but I'm not. It must have been a powerful spell to only effect her."
"She's upstairs with Hiei. You should let her sleep though." Kai nodded.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
"She's finally asleep," whispered Hiei.
"Damn…damn you Akihiko," Rei said in her sleep.
"Akihiko?"
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
12:01 AM…
The pain on Rei's face finally went away. Slowly her eye's opened to see a sleeping Hiei on her windowsill.
"Ow my head." The sound of Rei's voice woke Hiei up.
"How are you feeling?" he asked.
"Fine."
"Fine?"
"Yeah the spell only lasted to midnight."
"That's good. One more question."
"Yeah?"
"WHY THE HELL DID KAI KISS YOU?"
"Jealous?"
"HE KNOWS YOU'RE ALREADY TAKEN!"
"Relax Hiei, it wasn't a real kiss."
"…"
"You know that shot I have to get every month?"
"Hn."
"I'm taking that as a yes. Well I didn't take it this month and Kai put it in my mouth." Hiei blinked.
"He put the shot in you're mouth…through the lips?"
"Yup. Nasty stuff that is."
"That's all."
"That and he likes to make you mad!"
"HN!" Rei just shook her head and laughed. Rei let out a big yawn and laid on her side.
"Good night!"
"Technically it's early morning." Rei shot up from the bed.
"You're starting to sound like me!"
"Crap."
"I think it's cool. We're like a real couple now!" Hiei turned a bright red.
"Hn."
"You're blushing!" Hiei rushed towards the door.
"Good night onna!"
"It's morning!" she shouted as he closed the door.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
Around 9:00 am everyone but Rei and Hiei was downstairs eating breakfast.
"I wonder how Rei is?" said Yukina.
"HIEI!" yelled Rei form upstairs.
"I think she's okay," said Kurama. Rei came stomping down all wet.
"What happen to you?" asked Yusuke.
"Hiei poured freezing cold water on me!" Hiei soon came down with a proud look on his face. He froze when he saw what was in Rei's hands. "Onna! Don't!" In Rei's hand was the only sweet snow left in the house and in her other hand was a fireball.
"I will." The two just glared at each other until Kurama broke it.
"Rei, the phone's for you." Rei pranced over to Kurama and took the phone.
"Hello?" Rei pulled the phone away from her ear.
"WHERE ARE YOU? YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO BE HERE TO FIGHT PYRO AN HOUR AGO!" came Ayame's voice from the other side.
"Sorry I forgot…yes, yes I'll be there. Gotcha. Bye." Rei hung up the phone and sighed. "Want to come see me fight Pyro?"
"Sure," everyone said. A portal open and they all went through. Rei stood on the fighting arena in front of Pyro.
"Alright I'm here. Let's get this over with."

StR: I'm done! Sorry it's short! I can't think of anything else. So who are those people that are with Jiyuu? I know!
Y: Of course you do. It's your story.
StR: So I'm trying not to make Hiei toooo out of character so if you think I am just tell me.
Kuwabara: Hiei scares me like this.
H: I scare myself.
Y: they actually agree on something.
StR: It will probably be the only time…Okay I want 10 more reviews! Bye!
