Farewell Butterfli

By Ryoken

"VT!!!! VT VT VT VT VT!!!!!!!!! Mizu said, pounding and shouting on the wall next to the glass sliding doors. VT came scurrying to the door and opened it.

"You DO remember the doors are always open during the day, right?" VT said.

"Oh yeah..." Mizu said. She shook her head to bring her back out of her thoughts. "VT, I was looking up those guys' names on the Internet and-"

"Shinzui's name means Spirit Detective, I know. And Chijin is Idiot boy, Hinote is Fire Medium, and Koujou is Plant Whip. I was looking up the same thing," VT said.

"What...What do you think? I mean, they do kinda look like them..."

"Yeah...but they're just an anime...aren't they?" VT questioned.

"Yes, but...," Mizu sighed in frustration. "What should we do?"

"Maybe we should run some tests to see if they're them?"

"Good idea!! Why didn't I think of that?"

"But what kinda tests should we run?"

"We'll ask them questions only they would know!!!" Mizu said brilliantly.

"Ooo, ooo, I wanna come up with some!!" VT said.

"Right! Come on!" Mizu said, stepping into the house.

"So they know who we are?" Kurama asked after Hiei explained what he saw.

"I don't know, I just know that Mizu was looking up what our names meant in Japanese, that's all," he said.

"Who knows what our names mean?" Yusuke said as he passed the door.

"Mizu, or at least that's what Hiei said," Kurama said.

"So what if she knows what our names mean; doesn't mean they know who we really are, right?" Yusuke said.

"That's a good point; we're from an entirely different dimension, or so Botan says, so it shouldn't matter..." Kurama said, a hint of worry in his tone.

"Kurama, no one knows who we are, ok?! Stop worrying over nothing!!" Yusuke said just as Mrs. Parker called them down for dinner.

"Hi guys!!" Mizu said as she spotted them. She was a little nervous about this investigation, but she knew she just had to do it; she didn't want VT to have all the fun.

"Hey Mizu," Yusuke said. Mizu and VT stopped dead in their tracks.

"Le gasp!!!!!!!!!" VT said.

"What?" Yusuke asked, looking puzzled.

"YOU ESPEAKY ENGLISH!!!!!!!" Mizu shouted, throwing her hands into the air.

"Huh, oh!! Yeah, our parents sent us these translators," Yusuke said, pointing to behind his ear.

"Coolio," Mizu said.

"Uh, hey Yusuke, something's been on my mind," VT said.

Yusuke looked a little worried. "What?"

"What school did you go to in Japan?"

"THAT'S what's been on your mind?" Yusuke said, realizing he had been worried over nothing.

"Yeah."

"Saraishiki. Why?" VT seemed to turn pale. "Uh, you ok?"

"Uh, erm, yes!!! I am okie dokie," VT said, staring off into space. She suddenly turned to Mizu and cried "Can I!??! Can I can I?!! Huh huh????"

"Uhhh, do what?" She said, confused.

"Can I, pleaaaaaaaaaase!?"

"Uhhh, ok..."

Suddenly, she glomped Yusuke by the neck and said "'I shall name him Squishie, and he will be mine. He will be my Squishie.'" Mizu sweatdropped as the boys looked at each other, silently asking one another if they should be prying her off of his neck.

"VT, off!!!" Mizu said urgently, seeing Yusuke turning a little blue. VT immediately let go, leaving Yusuke to gasp for air. "You ok?" He nodded.

"What was that all about?" Kurama asked.

"I have no idea..." Mizu lied. 'Ok, so he's from Saraishiki, THAT'S definitely a sign, but better to safe than sorry.' VT looked like she was about to burst from hyperness. "Uh, I think I should get her to class before she explodes. See you later," Mizu said, practically dragging VT along.

As soon as they were out of sight, Mizu let go of VT. "Are you crazy?!!?"

"Yes!!" VT said happily. Mizu slapped her forehead.

"Do you want them to know we know that we might know who they are?" Mizu said.

"I dunno; do we??"

"No!!! At least, not yet anyway. Besides, just because they answered one question right, doesn't necessarily mean it's them!"

"But he goes to Saraishiki!!!!"

"So?! Saraishiki might actually exist!" VT looked disappointed. "Look, you just ask Chijin-"

"Kuwabaka."

"Chijin during P.E., Shinzui during history, and I'll ask Koujou during Government, and Hinote during Computers, ok?"

"Ok!"

"And please, no more sudden outbursts of glomping?"

"Right, right," VT said as she hurried to the locker room.

"Gods, that girl is gonna get us into some deep trouble one of these days," Mizu said to herself as she hurried to her own class.

"Hello Chijin!!" VT yelled from across the blacktop when she spotted Kuwabara's orange hair. He gave a small wave back and gulped as she came racing towards him.

"Um um, can I ask ya something?" She said.

'Uh oh, better be careful,' Kuwabara thought, remembering what Kurama had warned before they had gone their separate ways.

"Yusuke, are you all right?" Kurama had asked concerned.

"Yeah, I'm ok..." He had replied.

"Perhaps we should be more careful about how we go answering questions," Kurama had said. "I don't think any of us want another one of these incidents."

"Good idea...Hey Kurama, do you think...?" Yusuke had started to ask.

"They might, so just be cautious," he had said.

"Sure, what is it?"

"What's your favorite color?" Kuwabara fell on his face.

"Uh, blue I guess," he answered as he got up.

"What's your favorite food?"

Kuwabara raised his eyebrow. "Uhhh, sushi..."

"What's your favorite type of music?"

"Rock!" He said, grinning.

"How's your sister?"

"She's fine...Wait a minute, that's not what I meant!!" He said, realizing his possibly big mistake.

"Ooooooooohhhh, so you DO have a sister???" She said interestedly.

"Uh, yeah, I do," he said warily.

"What's her name??"

"Uh, uh...um, Cho."

"Her name is Cho? You didn't seem very sure of yourself."

"Of course it is!!" He said. Then he stormed away from her, cursing himself for not being more careful.

"Hey Koujou, do you like plants?" Mizu asked at the end of the period. She knew that asking him during class might just get her silence in return.

"Plants? Why do you ask?" He said curiously.

"Oh no reason really; I was just wondering because VT loves plants; she draws em all over her papers sometimes, so I was just curious," she said, trying to sound like it didn't really matter.

"Well, yes, I suppose I do," he said, thinking it couldn't hurt to reveal something like his interests.

"That's cool," she said. They walked to their next class in silence. That is until Hiei walked in the classroom. Once Hiei sat down in the swivel chair, which he was rather amused with, Mizu got up and walked over to Kurama's computer. "Hey Koujou, why does Hinote wear that bandana on his forehead all the time?" She asked, trying to sound innocent. Hiei could hear every word that Mizu said, and he listened closely to what Kurama had to say.

"Erm, Hinote doesn't like to talk about that, nor does he like others to explain why," he said plainly.

"Did something...happen in his past then?" She asked.

"Something like that, yes," Kurama said, trying to sound like it was something really awful.

"Oh...I see," Mizu said, lost in thought. 'Something in his past? Yeah, sure,' she thought. "Uh, thanks," she said, and went back to her seat.

Now Hiei was just a little curious as to why she was asking that question; perhaps he was too curious for his own good because Hiei closed his eyes and used his Jagan to read Mizu's thoughts.

'-I mean, who else has black spiky hair that defies gravity? Not to mention a white starburst. Don't know many people with that kind of hair. Plus his bad-ass attitude. There's just got to be a way to prove to myself that Hinote really is Hiei...-' Hiei's eyes flew open at the mention of his real name. She knew...She knew who he was, but how? He'd never seen her before in his life!

<KURAMA!!!> He yelled into the kitsune's mind.

<What?! How did you- Wait...Hiei, you didn't!!>

<Didn't what?>

<Hiei! You know you're not supposed to do that!!>

<That's besides the point, Kurama. How could she know who I am?!> He sounded strangely concerned.

<You're not helping, you know.>

<Yes, I'm sure! She said "There's just got to be a way to prove to myself that Hinote really is Hiei"!> Now he sounded angry.

<Well, so long as she can't prove who you are, there's no need to get upset and worry about it; just don't reveal any information about yourself, and you'll be fine.>

Hiei cut off the connection with Kurama. He suddenly was feeling as though eyes were burrowing into the back of his head. He turned to catch Mizu looking at him. She immediately blushed profoundly and turned her head towards the computer screen. More curious than ever, he used his Jagan again.

'Aww, man, he caught me looking at him!! I must be red as a tomato right now, how embarrassing.' Mizu's thoughts turned from Hiei to the work before her, so Hiei stopped looking into her thoughts.

'Humans can be so stupid sometimes...not to mention boring,' he thought to himself. He felt like he was being watched again, so he turned his head and caught her staring at him again. She blushed a second time and turned her eyes towards the screen once more.

"Why do you keep staring at me?" He asked. Mizu turned to him, and seemed to blush even more.

"Oh...uh, no reason!! Ehehe..." She said weakly.

"You're a bad liar," Hiei noted.

"Erm, uh...right..." She said. She went back to work, hoping he wouldn't question her further. He grinned inwardly, knowing what she was thinking without reading her thoughts; humans thought all alike.

So what Hiei did was he put his elbows on the desk of Mizu's computer, placed his chin on his palms, and stared back at her. Mizu tried to ignore it for a little bit, but then couldn't help but ask.

"Why are you staring at me?" She asked nervously.

"No reason," he replied. Mizu remained silent for a while, and then, she suddenly, slowly, reached out her left hand to touch the bandana where the edge of Hiei's Jagan eye would be. As soon as he realized what she was after however, he grabbed her wrist tightly, and narrowed his eyes. "What do you think you're doing?" His tone was extremely angry, but it was calm.

"I-I'm sorry...I didn't mean-ow, that hurts! Please, let go!" Mizu gasped. Hiei's grip had gotten much tighter until it felt like he was going to smash her wrist in his grasp.

A hand came onto Hiei's shoulder as someone sharply, but quietly, said "Hinote!" And he let go. It was Kurama. Mizu retracted her hand and grasped her own wrist in pain.

"Don't ever touch me again," Hiei said finally. Kurama looked at the back of Hiei's head for a little while longer as he turned to face the computer. Then he turned to Mizu.

"I'm sorry..." She apologized again, trembling a little bit. 'What were you thinking, you idiot?! Did you ACTUALLY think he'd let you touch his Jagan eye?!?'

"Are you hurt?" Kurama asked. Although Mizu was still in a bit of pain and was still holding her wrist, she shook her head. "Are you sure?" She nodded. Still a bit concerned, Kurama went back to his seat, hoping the teacher hadn't noticed the incident.

The bell rang, signaling the break between classes to begin. Mizu and VT walked together out to the tree. VT was getting a little worried; Mizu hadn't spoken a word at all during English. She just was staring at the desk as she did her work, which was highly unusual. She had tried to get information out of her, but nothing seemed to work.

"Hey Mizu, you feel like playing?" She asked.

"I suppose..." She said. Well, it was a start.

VT told Mizu to go on ahead while she went to get the instruments, which she did. The others came one a time; when Hiei came, Mizu didn't look at him. But it wasn't long before VT came back, flute and violin case in hand.

"Here we goes, Mizu," VT said, putting the case down, smiling. Mizu tried to smile back, but it was a weak one.

"What's wrong with Mizu?" Yusuke asked VT. She shrugged.

"I dunno, she won't tell me; hell, she won't even talk to me," VT whispered back. VT watched as Mizu solemnly took out her violin.

Mizu placed the violin under her chin and took the bow string in the opposite hand. She started to warm up the violin when she suddenly cried out in pain and dropped the violin and string to grasp her left wrist.

"Mizu Mizu!! What's wrong!?!? Are you ok???" VT asked concerned, the others turning their heads to see what happened. Even Hiei turned to look.

"My wrist!! Augh, it hurts!!!" She yelled. Mizu looked at her wrist to see that a bone was sticking out. "Oh my goddess..." She started to tremble.

"Holy shit, Mizu, what happened to your wrist?!?" VT said, noticing where Mizu had looked. Mizu didn't answer. She just kept holding her arm below the wrist and staring at it. "Someone go get the nurse!!" Chris got up and ran as fast as could towards the nurse's office. "Mizu, what happened??" VT ordered. Still, Mizu said nothing.

"I believe I can explain," Kurama said. "You see, in class today, Mizu was trying to touch Hinote's bandana, and he grabbed her wrist. I believe that maybe he gripped it a little too harshly," he said, giving Hiei a glare, who looked away. "and perhaps the bone was almost out of it's joint. The violin playing must've cause it to come out completely, since that's what seems to be the case."

VT was furious. No body hurt her friends, NO BODY! She got up from her crouch next to Mizu and ran straight towards Hiei, intending to pound him to a pulp. He jumped up quickly enough however, and dodged the hand that came out to grab him. He then agilely jumped into the lowest branch of the tree, which was pretty high up. VT, not ready to give up the chase, jumped on the trunk and pushed herself up to the next branch, quickly catching up. Hiei was surprised that a human could get up to that branch so quickly. He merely jumped back down to the ground, but was caught off guard when VT jumped off the branch as well, and landed right in front of him. She took a swing at him, and because she had caught him off guard, she was able to hit him right on the mouth.

When Mizu heard the sound of flesh being hit, she said. "VT, stop..." But VT couldn't hear her; she was blinded by rage. VT hit Hiei again, this time in the stomach with her knee, and his neck with her elbow, Mizu watching in horror. "VT, stop it!!" But she wouldn't stop. She hit him over and over again; the blows were coming at such a rate that Hiei didn't have a chance to get away.

"NO BODY HURTS MY FRIENDS, YOU PUNK!!!" VT screamed as she kept beating him.

Mizu stood up. "That's enough, VT!!" Smack! "VT!!" Crash! "VTTT!!!" Mizu screamed. She suddenly ran into the middle of one of VT's punches and took the blow herself. Mizu coughed and sputtered out blood as she sank to her knees from the blow to her stomach. "No more, VT..." Tears began to slide down her cheeks.

Hiei wobbled a few steps back after the onslaught. He had a black-eye and his nose was bleeding, as well as his gums. He was positive some of those punches would be leaving a bruise or two, not to mention his cheek might be swollen in an hour or so. But why had Mizu taken that last blow? He would have thought she'd enjoy seeing VT getting revenge on him. He'd never known a human to be able to land a hit on him, except for Yusuke. Ever. And except for Kurama, who wasn't all human, he'd never seen any human take a hit for someone else, much less for him.

"No more fighting...VT..." Mizu cried, still clutching her arm, the tears still streaming down her face. "You know how much I hate it..." She said, looking up at her.

"Yeah...Yeah I know, but-"

"Don't. I don't want your vengeance," Mizu, trying to stand up; VT was a better build for taking physical blows, but Mizu was extremely weak of body. "It was my own fault for being stupid, and I'll take whatever the punishment may be for that." Mizu gave a glance back at Hiei, who had a look of astonishment on his face. She gave a little bit of a smile. "I'm sorry...for not being more respectful...Hiei," then her mind slipped away in unconsciousness.
