Farewell Butterfli

By Ryoken

"Well, whadya know!" VT commented, carrying two instrument cases.

"Kinda convenient," Mizu said. She took the larger case from VT and opened it. She gently lifted a violin out and started to fine tune it. VT took out a flute, making sure that everything was working.

Kuwabara's curiosity struck. "What are they doing?" Kurama asked them the question.

"What's it look like? We're practicing," VT said. She blew into the mouth piece, making sure it was making the right notes.

"Ok guys, what'll it be?" Mizu asked her friends.

"Let's let the newbs choose today," Chris said.

"Sounds good; choose a song, and we'll play it," Mizu said as she got comfortable in a niche in the tree.

"Ask em if they know 'Tsuka-no-ma no Sansetto'," Yusuke said to Kurama. He did.

"No, I don't think we do..." Mizu replied. "I know, we'll play Butterfly. How's that sound?"

"Fine by me! You know I love that one!" VT grinned. The boys had no idea as to what in the world they were talking about, so they sat down to listen.

It was a really fast and upbeat tune, and they played it well, considering the beat was incredibly fast and they looked at no music sheets. Mizu even sung and jumped around a little bit as she played. When the song was finished, VT put her flute away while Mizu, entranced in her own music, started to play slowly, and started humming at the same time.

"You two are really good!" Kurama complemented.

"Thanks!" VT said, smiling joyfully. She reached into her backpack and took out her lunch: a tuna-fish sandwich and Wild Cherry Caprisun, and began munching down. All of a sudden, Mizu started to break into tune.

'Cause a thousand words
Called out through the ages
They'll fly to you
Even though we can't see
I know they're reaching you
Suspended on silver wings

Oh a thousand words
One thousand embraces
Will cradle you
Making all of your weary days seem far away
They'll hold you forever...

Oh a thousand words
Have never been spoken
They'll fly to you
They'll carry you home and back into my arms
Suspended on silver wings

And a thousand words
Called out through the ages
They'll cradle you
Turning all of the loving into only days
They'll hold you forever...

VT laughed. "In a singing mood, are we??"

"Heh, maybe," Mizu said, stopping in the middle of the song. Then she looked up at the sky, her mind someplace else.

"You're daydreaming about you-know-who again!!" VT said, completely ignoring the four boys standing aside.

"HeyHeyHEY!!! Not in front of the newbs, girl!!" Mizu said, blushing as she placed the bow string underneath VT's chin.

"What's the matter, can't take a little heat?" She continued to tease.

"VT, I'm warning you..."

"Warning me?? Not to tell that you daydream about H-mppph," VT said until Mizu put a forceful hand over her mouth.

"I don't want another- awww, good goddess, VT!!!" She said, retracting her hand. It was wet. "Geez, you LICKED my hand?!!?!? Someone got disinfectant??" She said, holding her wrist as she stuck out her tongue in disgust.

"It's not like I have rabies or anything!!"

"Are you sure about that?" Mizu joked.

"Well, don't think I do," VT joked back.

"Better keep our distance then, huh!?"

"Yeah, you might get...COOTIES!!!!!" VT shouted, jumping towards Kuwabara with an eccentric grin on her face, her fingers hunched like claws. He jumped back a foot or two.

"What the hell are they talking about!?" Kuwabara said. Kurama could hardly keep from losing his cool-headedness as he hid his smile behind both hands. Hiei let out a short snort and suppressed a small smile. He looked away.

"What the heck is so funny, Kurama??" Yusuke insisted.

"She said...that you shouldn't get too close...or you...might get...cooties," He replied, trying not to laugh.

"I don't see what's so funny..." Kuwabara said.

"You had to hear the whole conversation, baka," Hiei replied, the smile gone.

"Not my fault I don't understand a word they're saying!"

"Sure it is; you should've paid more attention in school!" Yusuke replied, getting the joke and laughing along with Kurama.

"Oh yeah, well I don't see you speakin' English either, Urameshi!!" Kurabara tried to retort.

It was to no avail, as usual. "Cause I don't need to know English! I can just have Kurama or Hiei translate for me." Hiei gave a grunt. "Excuse me, I can just have Kurama translate for me," he rephrased.

"Shall we play some more?" Mizu asked VT.

"I'm eating here, lady!!" She yelled. Then took another bite of her sandwich. Mizu stood up and shrugged when her stomach growled.

"Heheh..." She laughed weakly as she rubbed the back of her head.

"Hungry?" Kurama asked.

"Sure, she is; but she can't eat cause she's starving herself to death," VT teased.

"WHAT?!!?!?!? ARE YOU INSINUATING THAT I AM FAT!?!?!?!?!?" Mizu yelled. Just then her stomach growled again, this time louder. She laughed weakly again.

"Here," VT said, throwing a half of a half of a half of what was left of her sandwich.

"Thanks."

Now that VT was finished with her lunch, a mischievous grin spread on her face. The Reikai Tantei, now that no one was talking, had decided to see just what in the world had been packed for their lunch. While Yusuke was digging through the paper sack, VT crept up until she was a foot away from his feet. Then she suddenly jumped up and landed right in front of him, her face mere centimeters away from his, and yelled. "Why do rubber ducks want to take over the world?!?!?" Yusuke fell over from surprise.

"Wh-What??" Kurama said, looking up from the bag.

"Why do rubber ducks wanna take over the world??" She asked, this time to Kurama. He repeated the question slowly in Japanese back to Yusuke, the smile never retreating from his face. Yusuke didn't bother to answer such a weird question that didn't even make sense. Hiei wasn't smiling.

'Now this is just pure idiocy...' He thought. He took one look at the contents of his back and gave a sour face; peanut butter and jelly, definitely not something he was used to, and he certainly wasn't about TO get used to it. He saw the baka in his sights and threw the carefully aimed bag at Kuwabara. As Botan would say, Bingo. It hit him squarely in the jaw and, in a blinded rage, threw the bag in Hiei's direction; it missed him completely. Hiei rolled his eyes and, somehow recalling that they were undercover, climbed into the lowest branch of the tree so he could ignore anything that happened on the ground.

Mizu, laughing slightly at VT's strange inquires, picked up a small stray stick from the tree. She started to idly twirl it, having been on the flag team one year, when she tried to do a toss and it hit the branch of the tree, making a loud noise.

"Oh SHIT, EVERYONE RUN!!!!!!" Mizu yelled, and everyone, except for the detectives, ran right away. Suddenly, the boys heard squawking coming from the tree. Hiei was the first to feel it's wrath. He jumped down from the tree and started to jog away backwards from the tree, trying to find his attacker.

"What is it, Hiei??" Kurama asked, his smile disappearing.

"A bird! It just tried to attack me!"

"Whoa whoa whoa. The great black dragon master is running from a bird??" Yusuke said.

Hiei growled. "It just caught me off guard, that's all." Suddenly Kuwabara yelled out "OW!!!!" On the ground was a recently dead bird. Something black swooped down over their heads, making them duck. There was a final squawk, and then no more.

"Is it over yet?" Mizu yelled from the other side of the grass.

"I don't know; what signifies that it's over?" Kurama yelled back.

"Silence more or less."

"Then yeah, I think it's over." The group cautiously walked back, watching the treetops.

"Just what was that exactly?" Kuwabara said in Japanese, rubbing his head.

"Carnivorous bird; don't ask, he was here before we were," Chris said before Kurama had a chance to ask.

"I'm not so sure I wanna hang out around a carnivorous bird..." Kuwabara said after Kurama had translated.

"What were you thinking, Mizu?!?!" VT shouted. Mizu cringed. "You know the rules, go," VT said, pointing behind Mizu.

"Can I at least take my violin?" She said hopefully. VT shook her head. She sighed and walked to the place where the school building and the fence met, and sat in the corner.

"Just so you know, anyone who disturbs the bird has to sit in the corner for the rest of lunch," VT explained.

For those who don't know, Tsuka-no-ma no Sansetto is (apparently) a song for/by Yusuke on some soundtrack that I don't have. I got it off of www.animelyrics.com. No idea what that translates into, they didn't tell me. Butterfly is the song from DDR, by Smile, the extremely fast version, just so you know. *wishes she had the song so she could play it over and over and make the Reikai go crazy* XD. Also, the song Mizu sings is from 1000 words, from Final Fantasy X-2 ^^.

And what is the thing called that you use to actually play the violin? The bow?

Yes, we have a carnivorous bird at our school. More or less, I think he "eats" other birds. But we don't have that rule. ^^'''
