Hiten was cowering slightly, and Sanosuke was cringing, his hands lifted to his sensitive ears. It was very apparent who the butch was in the situation. She'd taken them both out and they'd been powerless to stop her. It was rather exhilarating, the feel of blood rushing through veins and the electricity in the air that came with such power. And power she had. 'Woo!'
"Now," she started, "this is how it's going to work. I'm going to stay here as collateral, and as soon as I'm given the list of items, Sanosuke is going to go get them. After the potion is finished, you're going to put the Thunder Staff back where it belongs and you're going to make it rain. Understand?"
She took their silence for a yes and she smiled and clapped her hands. "Okay! Glad we understand each other."
When she heard Hiten mumble, "More like understand you, psycho bitch," she was tempted to smack him around. From what she'd seen when she'd managed to pay attention, he was quite the warrior. Might even prove to be a challenge.
She burst into hysterical laughter.
****************
They were down to an hour and a half to complete the quest by the time the old woman had sent the list of items to Kagome. He was quite relieved that most of the items on the list either himself or Kagome already had. That made things much easier. There were only four items they didn't possess, and if he messaged Jaken, he'd have two of them in no time.
The other two, Kakuyas sap and a feather from the Ikso bird... Those might prove to be a little difficult if he didn't run top speed. Kakuyas trees grew in only one area of Miriva, and luck just happened to be a bitch. It was a ten minute run from their current location to the Elder Kikuta's forest. And the Ikso bird had only three known nesting areas. One deep in Lake Sasara, one on a rock over-looking the Mirivan Sea, and the other... Was very far away.
Obtaining those items wouldn't prove to be too difficult. If he collected the sap first, the run to the sea would really take only five minutes. But that only left them with an hour and fifteen minutes to combine all ingredients and prove the potion worked and make sure Hiten made it rain and get back to the NPC Elder before time ran out.
He messaged Jaken, ordering him to take Ah-Un and bring the Oji sugars and Deix crystals to the entrance to the Thunder Caves. He also made sure to instruct him to be as stealthy as he could possibly be. Adding the threat that if he was seen, there would be no man or woman in the Dimension who could cure him of his pain.
With that done, he sped through the Yewlin trees and rushed to his first destination, desperately hoping they'd have enough time to complete the quest.
****************
"So what's a pretty girl like you doing with a fluffball like that?" Hiten asked, and she rolled her eyes, too accustomed to being hit on by the male characters of Dimension to care. He was leaning against the cave walls, smirking at her, giving her what he thought was a subtle look-over. It wasn't subtle.
"He invited me along for a quest. I had nothing better to do," she replied. She was emptying her pack, making sure she had all the items she thought she did. 'Tenkai oil, Karapace ink, Skeilix blood... ' She almost panicked when she couldn't find the Liegheth tail, but after nearly freaking out, she found it buried under her traveling clothes. 'Thank God.'
"Are you sure you that's it? He did say you belonged to him..."
She looked up at him, then, her eyes narrowing on him. "I. Belong. To. NO ONE!"
"Well," came the excessively gorgeous voice of Hiten after a lengthy reprieve, "since you know my name, might I ask the name of such a pretty lady?"
"Kagome," was her short response. She was beginning to get impatient, they were running out of time and as sexy as he was, Hiten's attentions were not welcome for the time being. Maybe after, when she had time to waste, she'd come back and hang with him. A new sparring partner would be nice.
****************
The Kakuyas sap had been a problem. He'd had to leave a small flask at the base of one of the trees because the sap was too hot this time of year and was refusing to go any faster. The Ikso feather would be a piece of cake, but just in case this one proved to be different, he prayed it wouldn't be at the nest. Ikso were generally very intelligent birds and it was rumoured that two of the three could actually converse with players. That would be a good thing if it were true and it wouldn't really affect him if it wasn't.
Running the distance had been no trouble at all, and he enjoyed the thrill of the wind rushing through his hair and the speed of his demonic character. The scenery in Miriva was always beautiful and the sight that greeted him when he reached his destination was far more than beautiful.
The sun was setting, always quickly this time of day... Night, depending on how you saw it. Not a cloud in the sky, hardly any birdlife there either. The sea wasn't the normal blue-green of the Mirivan sea, but a golden hue that took his breath away. Waves crashing against the shore, beating down upon the rocks, already weathered by the constant pressure of water. High above, the cliff overlooking the sea... If he possessed any artistic talent, he'd love to paint it all.
But being the president of Full Circle, a company dedicated mostly to art and the artists, meant he didn't actually have to be a Picasso or a Divinci. He didn't really have to be anything but the president. Just as long as he was able to run the company and see to it that all the pieces submitted were on display in the galleries around the world, he'd be fine.
When he heard the beating of wings and felt the air rushing down around him, he turned to the sky and peered up into the violet eyes of the Ikso. He'd only seen pictures and they were no where near accurate. The Ikso was a giant with a wingspan of at least ten feet. It was almost completely white except for the golden tips of its' feathers. 'Absolutely magnificent.'
A screenshot wasn't possible, as he'd forgotten to include the pouch that carried the ShotCore, but he'd commit the image to memory.
The Ikso had sort of glided to the ground, standing at its full height of at least fifteen feet. Glaring down at him as if trying to assess some hidden weakness or... Something. It was almost a little intimidating. But if he could handle the deranged wonder that was Kagome, he could more than certainly handle the majestic Ikso.
:Why have you come?: he heard inside his head and looked around to see if any other was present. No one... Just the Ikso. Perhaps the rumours were true...
"I've come to ask for a feather," he replied, not certain if he should think his answer or speak it aloud.
:Why?: it asked, the violet of its' eyes swirling and colliding, almost hypnotic in their gaze. He could feel a presence in his mind somewhere. He couldn't pinpoint the location, but he knew there was something there.
"I, along with another, am partaking in the rain quest. She and I have come to an agreement with the Thunder Brothers," he explained.
:What kind of agreement?: the Ikso asked. It was a rather fascinating creature, curious to the point of annoyance.
"She is to make a hair potion for the brother, Manten. In exchange for this, Hiten has agreed to place the Staff in its rightful position and give the people of Miriva rain."
:I see. And a feather of mine is needed for this potion?: He could tell the bird was wary, didn't know whether or not to believe him. But being also the Lord of the Western Provinces, his honor and pride would not allow him to be dishonest or dishonorable. No way, no how.
"Yes," he said.
There was a lengthy pause before the Ikso voiced another question. :Who is this woman?:
When he replied with a simple, "Kagome Higurashi," the bird became ecstatic. It was flapping its' wings and giving a series of gorgeous trills and cries of excitement, almost going to the point of hyperventalation.
:I have wanted to meet her for some time...: The bird was having a difficult time keeping its' excitement in check, he could feel it washing over him like the waves washing over the shores. :She vanquished Musashu and his demon horde to save my mate. The story has been a nightly story for our chicks.:
He was still looking up at the bird when he asked, "Once the quest has been completed, shall I bring her to meet you?"
:Oh could you?! I really want her autograph...:
****************
She was pacing again. They were running out of time. Forty-five minutes... That was it. And then the quest would be over and it would all be for nothing! She had never not finished a quest. NEVER! And she really didn't intend to start now.
"Calm down, Kagome. He'll be back soon," Hiten said, feeling her anger spiking and twitching all around, he really didn't want to be purified by a stray bout of energy.
"And if he isn't?!" she shouted, just a little loud for Hiten's sensitive hearing.
****************
"And you're certain you weren't seen?" he asked the little toad after taking the bag with the items he'd requested. You could never be certain if Jaken was reliable or not, especially seeing as he could never keep his trap shut.
"Of course, Lord Sesshomaru," was the idiot's reply.
"Jaken! Watch your tongue," he hissed, looking around, listening for any unwanted presences. "This character is Sanosuke, not the Lord of the Western Provinces. You'd do well to remember that," he said as he narrowed his eyes on him. He was lucky this time, no one was listening in on private conversations.
'Pity, always a pleasure teaching toads to fly.'
****************
"Fuck, what took you so fuckin' long?!" she yelled at him when he came running into the cave. She was incredibly angry, and she had every right to be. She'd been in the company of a horny demon for almost an hour and she was not happy.
"The Kakuyas sap was very slow in its course, and the Ikso bird wanted a chat," was his reply.
She thought about that a moment... "Which Ikso did you visit?"
"The one residing atop the cliff."
"Owakisou's mate. Never met him, but I've heard he's a real character." Really. From his mate she'd heard that most of the time he tended to be either a little hyper or a little dramatic. Quite the combination of traits in a character.
"I'm supposed to take you to see him."
"After the quest is finished?" Her only answer was the nodding of his head.
****************
The potion proved to be easy enough to put together. Mix this ingredient with that ingredient, bathe the Liegheth tail in the Skeilix blood. Simple little instructions that were a cinch to follow. The only thing that had proven to be even the slightest of challenges, was the Kakuyas sap. It needed to be in crystal form, and the only way to make that happen, would be to freeze it. Simple spell, simple crystals. And that was that.
She just didn't know how long it'd take the potion to go into effect. Or if there were any side effects. Side effects were not cool.
Manten was nervous, very very nervous. You could see the sweat beading on his massive forehead and the fear in his eyes. After the potion had been complete, she administered it to his head and small quantities. Just to be safe...
It was almost instant. It went from being stubble to a few centimeters in length in just a few minutes. Very impressive. Little did everyone see that as slow as the growth was... It wasn't stopping. And it looked like it had no intentions of stopping. Ever.
She turned to Hiten, eager to be out of the caves before they were swamped with hair. It might take a while, but sooner or later... "Okay, now that he's got hair, put the Staff back and make it fuckin' rain," she demanded.
Hiten was a very good boy. A very scared boy that really didn't want to be fried. 'Very smart.' He placed the Thunder Staff back in the slot, stood with his hand on the crest of the fountain and chanted slowly, "Reikeerha da to ohweikaiha... Kuuhwai to chishooha... Nandettho mammohwa anaita tou skha..."
Manten's hair was about six inches in length... And growing.
"If it isn't raining outside soon, I'll come back and make damn sure that any hair that's grown will never grow back. Understand?" she said a little forcefully, eager to leave before all Hell broke loose.
Hiten's nod was all the answer she needed, and she started for the exit, Sanosuke following suit. She was walking briskly until out of sight of the brothers, breaking into an all out run when she was out of range. The sooner they were out, the better.
"We have to hurry," she said in between deep breaths.
A confused look and a mouthed, "Why?" were what followed.
"Because the hair isn't going to stop growing," she whispered, and the wide eyes of Sanosuke almost made her laugh.
When he stopped, so did she. "What are you doing?" she demanded, impatient with him to the point of just ridding herself of him then and there.
"Get on my back. It's faster this way," he said. 'Good idea.'
****************
He was running full speed with her and she felt so good there, holding tight to him with her legs wrapped around him. Although he'd much rather she was in front of him with her legs wrapped around... He could tell she was enjoying herself, even if she was panicking about the brothers and their dilemma over Manten's hair. Even if she chose to deny it, her scent hid nothing. He could tell she was more than a little aroused and the thick sweetness of it was clouding his senses.
The rain had started. At first, no more than a few droplets but soon enough it was a shower of water pressing down on the skin. Thunder could be heard and lightning was cracking throughout the sky. If he wasn't in such a hurry, he might stop to admire the picture painted out before him. But stopping would mean further angering Kagome, and that wouldn't be good. Especially since she was so...
'Fuck I'm a pervert.'
****************
The run to the Elder's village had taken hardly any time at all, to which he was very thankful. Anymore of Kagome's intoxicating scent and he'd have lost control and had his evil way with her on the way. Which would've been a good idea if he wanted to really screw up his plan. But he didn't want to do that, so that would be a very bad idea.
After relaying the story to the Elder, Kagome was given a spell sword (Only very high levels and very experienced players were allowed to use them and you had to dual-class between priestess and warrior.) and he was given a Pirakawa blade. Very lightweight material, easy to handle and control. It was like a subtle hooked katana, only the subtleness of it was very subtle and the hook was almost non-existent. Still, he was surprised he'd been given something of such value, especially with him being a new character.
But he most definately was not complaining. Nope, not him. The Pirakawa blade had a plus eight attack bonus, plus three dexterity and plus two vitality with an elemental bonus of wind. No complaining. No fucking way.
****************
"So, ready to go then?" he asked, still eager to spend as much time with her as possible.
"Go? Where?" She was very confused, and the look on her face was priceless. It was like, 'What are you talking about I have to spend more time with you?!' Priceless.
"To introduce you to Kagihiko, remember? The Ikso whose mate you saved... Ringin' any bells here?" He was talking to her like she was four and it was fun. She was too exhausted to care and that made it all the better.
She rolled her eyes. "We'll do it tomorrow. Eight o'clock my time okay with you?"
He nodded his head. "That's fine with me."
"Good." She vanished.
"Now," she started, "this is how it's going to work. I'm going to stay here as collateral, and as soon as I'm given the list of items, Sanosuke is going to go get them. After the potion is finished, you're going to put the Thunder Staff back where it belongs and you're going to make it rain. Understand?"
