Chapter Eighteen
Rematch
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
Taking a walk in the night, Gwenevere kicked at a small rock before her. (Very stupid. Why would anyone want to take a walk at night? I mean, there are stalkers and pyschos out there at night! <.<...>.>) Her head lowered, she thought furiously of Hiei and a certain red-haired kitsune.
'I hate boys...' she thought as she kicked the rock forcefully, sending it flying down the street.
As she caught up to the rock, she knelt to pick it up, suddenly feeling a presence following her. She turned and threw the rock, but it only displaced the air. Looking around suspiciously, she instead turned and began to walk again.
She screamed suddenly, clutching her heart as she saw someone about five feet away from her. Even if it was dark out, she could see the outline of the figure in front of her. Toguro the Younger.
"Toguro...What do you want?" she asked, chafed by his presence.
"I heard you aren't going to enter with Urameshi. Too afraid?" he taunted.
"I'm not in a great mood, Toguro. Don't start."
"Why? You can't beat me, anyway."
"THAT'S IT!!!!!!" Gwen exploded. She ran at Toguro, anger blinding her from logic, which was currently pointing out how unwise it was to instigate a battle you could not win. She reared back her fist, punching him squarely in the stomach.
"That made me feel better..."
Then she realised what she was doing. 'Oh, KUSO! Tell me, I did not just punch Toguro!' She looked up to see a vexed Toguro looking down at her. Time had frozen, it seemed to Gwen, as her anger was replaced rapidly to fear.
Five seconds later, Toguro had grabbed her arm and thrown her across the dark street, casually slamming her into a nearby building. She fell to the ground only for a moment before standing up slowly, checking herself for injuries. She touched her left shoulder blade, feeling an acute pain shoot down her arm. 'Yep, I guess I'm injured...' She looked up to see Toguro advancing upon her.
"Are you still afraid of me?" he jeered.
Gwen went in a fighting stance. "Not anymore. Even if I was...I face my fears now."
"What a brave little girl."
Gwen formed her Spirit Bow and jumped above Toguro, landing behind him. As he tried to punch Gwen, she dodged, turning her bow in a position more akin to a crossbow than an archer's. She summoned an arrow and shot it quickly, watching as it shot through the air and hit Toguro's chest. Gwenevere stopped moving, but held her bow, just in case. Toguro was on the ground, motionless for only a second before he stood, removing the arrow. It instantly vanished.
'...Great. Now what am I going to do? My attacks are useless!' she thought, hastily dodging Toguro's punches and kicks. 'But he must have a weakness somewhere...'
He punched at Gwen, but only hit the air. "Missed!" she teased, dodging sideways as he kicked at her from the right. Flying to the left, she realised her mistake as his left leg kicked up and knocked her to the side. She hit the ground hard, feeling her skin scrape badly. Rolling to the right, she narrowly avoided another kick, this one aimed for her head. Yet, Toguro was there still, anticipating her dodge and sending her flying across the street.
Toguro walked to Gwen, who was still on the ground, wincing at her wounds. "I see this match in my favor, just like the first one." He smirked humorlessly, leaving with a slight swirl of his coat.
Gwen sat up with difficulty. "I can't beat you, Torguro, I know, but I'll never give up," she said to no one.
Trying to stand, she put pressure on her left arm and winced again as pain shot through the injury she hadn't noticed was there. "Shimatta," she hissed darkly, beginning to limp home.
When she got to her house, there was a note from her father:
Gwenevere,
I'm going out for a week. There's money in my room, and food in the fridge.
-Dad
"Thanks, dad," Gwen snapped sarcastically. She threw away the note as she walked upstairs, fully intent on taking a shower.
Closing the door, she removed her pale blue T-shirt, noticing for the first time that it was liberally stained with blood splotches. "Oh! I never noticed that I was bleeding!" She inspected her scrapes, and noticed the stains of blood that must have trickled down her arm as she walked home.
Removing the rest of her clothing, she turned on the water and stepped in the shower. Carefully cleaning her wounds, she cautiously worked the shampoo through her hair, being watchful to avoid getting any in her injuries. Stepping out of the shower after nearly ten minutes, she wrapped a towel around her waist and one around her hair, walking slowly to her room. She picked out a simple silky white spagetti strapped nightgown, slipping it over her head and glancing briefly down at it hugging her figure. She plopped on her bed, exhausted from her little "rematch" and sunk into a dreamless sleep.
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
Gwen woke with a start, feeling the pain from her injured shoulder blade. "I hate that saying, 'That's gonna hurt tomorrow'..." She glanced blearily at the clock, saw the flashing "10:00 am," and sunk back to the pillows. "Still too early..."
Just about to fall asleep again, she happily nuzzled the pillow closer to her face, until...
RING! RING!
Moaning, she pressed the pillow over her face, not ready to wake yet. Wishing it would just go away, she listened to it ring twice more before reaching over, picking the receiver, placing it by her ear. (which was incidentally still under her pillow)
"'Oshi moshi?"
"Ohayo, Gwen!" Kurama greeted swimmingly. "I see you just got up."
"Ohayo, Kurama-kun. I still wanna go to sleep."
"Oh come on, Gwen. It's a beautiful rainy day! So...is it all right if we come eat dinner at your house? Do you mind?"
"Who's 'we'?"
"Yusuke, Keiko, Kuwabara, Botan, Hiei, and me. It'll only be dinner. Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei, and I want everyone to get together before we have to train."
"...I don't know..."
"Are you still mad at Hiei and me?" Kurama questioned, sounding apologetic.
"Kinda..."
"I'm sorry about that. I will make it up to you, I promise." Gwen smiled when he said that, but frowned immediately after.
"What about Hiei?"
"He's at my house, and says that he will come to the little 'rendezvous' today completely unforced. I think that's what he calls an apology," he chuckled lightly.
"I guess so," Gwen sighed.
"Be ready at 7:00 pm sharp. Sayonara, Gwen-chan."
"All right. 7:00. Ja ne, Kurama-kun," she repeated before hanging up. Standing shakily, she made the bed and sorted through her closet for her favorite dress, a sleeveless crimson number with a narrow slit up the left side. Slipping it on, she slid into a pair of matching high heels, as well. Sitting down on a small stool, she looked into her vanity.
"What should I do with my hair?" she wondered aloud, raising it with her hands to see what it would look like. Her face quickly filled with aversion as she dropped her two-toned hair back to her shoulders. Shuffling through her hair scrunchies and hair pins, her eyes sparkled as they landed on two matching barrettes: black dragons curling their tails around deep red roses. Perfect.
Putting one on each side of her hair, she smiled and put on her red lipstick. Finished, she left her room to see what resided in her refridgerator for her dinner party.
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
"Hey, Gwen," Yusuke said as Keiko put away her umbrella and they walked inside.
"Konbanwa, Yusuke-kun, Keiko-chan," Gwen greeted cheerfully. She took their coats and hung them in the nearby closet.
As soon as she put their coats away, Kuwabara walked through the open door.
"Konbanwa, Gwen-chan. Wow! You look hot!" Kuwabara exclaimed as he looked her over.
"Uh...thanks, I guess."
"Hn."
All of them looked toward the door to see Kurama and Hiei.
Hiei just walked past everyone, not really awknowledging them, except Gwen, who he just stared at for only a moment.
"Hello, Gwen-chan. I brought this for you," Kurama said, giving Gwen a beautiful red rose.
"Oh! It's beautiful! Arigato, Kurama-kun!" she gasped, smelling the rose.
"Not as beautiful as you," he replied softly.
"That's so kawaii!" Botan screeched as she walked from behind Kurama. "Sorry I'm late, Gwen-chan. Koenma-sama wanted me to do his paperwork, but I had to take the time to smack him with my oar!"
They all walked in the living room since the meal wasn't ready yet. They talked about school, and such basic topics as that. Hiei, of course, was too uninterested to participate. Gwen went to put her rose in a vase, and placed it on the dining room table. When she returned, everyone was still talking happily.
"Nice place, you got here, Gwen," Yusuke observed, looking through the house's chambers, apparently bored with the talking.
"Thanks." Gwen remembered cleaning the whole house about four hours before everyone had arrived.
"So? Where's your folks?" asked Kuwabara.
Hiei glanced over at Gwen who said, "My mother died a long time ago, and my dad is gone off somewhere for a week...probably off bar hopping, and those kinds of places." She looked at the floor.
"My mom should meet your dad," Yusuke joked, but was promptly slapped by Keiko.
"Dinner's probably ready, so Keiko, Botan, would you please help me?" Gwen asked politely.
"Sure," they replied, not sure if Yusuke and Kuwabara would be okay since they had almost started ten agruments in only half an hour.
The three girls went in the kitchen to place the meal in the dining room. Once set, the girls called the boys in. They came and everyone sat at the table. Gwen placing herself between Hiei and Kurama across from Yusuke, who sat between Keiko and Botan. Kuwabara sat at the table's end.
"What's this?" Hiei said, poking at his food with one of his chopsticks.
"That's chicken teriyaki, squid, and sushi," she explained, pointing to each type of sushi and naming it. "Try it, at least, Hiei." She ate a tuna roll and smiled at him. He picked up a California roll with his chopsticks, sniffed it, and ate it, repeating the routine with the squid and chicken teriyaki. He just continued eating.
Everyone except Kurama was looking at Gwen like she did something extraordinary and then at Hiei, who was still eating. He looked up and glared at them. They looked at each other and then continuing eating with the buzz of laughter and talking.
After the meal, everyone dove into the American dessert, a two layer chocolate cake with white frosting. As the last slices of cake were polished off, the girls cleared the table, and loaded the dishwasher. As Gwen started it, the clock in the living room chimed eight times.
"Nice dinner, Gwen," Botan said as she put on her coat and left.
"I liked it a lot," Kuwabara burped, patting his stomach, putting on his raincoat as he left.
"Hey! Maybe we can do this again sometime," suggested Keiko, walking toward Yusuke, who stood outside in a sports coat waiting and holding the umbrella. She waved, and they walked off in the pouring rain.
All who were left were Kurama, Hiei, and Gwenevere. Gwen shut the door and plopped down on the couch.
"Gwen, I just picked up the phone...it was my...'kaasan," Kurama informed her.
"What did she want?" she asked good-naturedly.
"She said that she needed help with the electricity since our power's out. I'll be back."
Gwen nodded, standing up to give him a quick kiss. "Be careful out there. It's pouring."
He kissed her in return and put on his coat, walking out into the rain.
And then there were just Hiei and Gwenevere. (Muahahahahahahahaha!)
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
MNA: I just thought that it was a good place to leave off. I wasn't planning the dinner party, but oh well!
Everyone waited outside the room impatiently until they heard a click.
Yusuke: *opening the door* And that, Hiei, is how babies are born!
Everyone anime fell. Hiei stood by the doorway, looking sickly pale.
Kurama walks to Hiei and tells him what April Fool's Day is.
Hiei: Oh.
Hiei walks to the fridge and grabs some sweet snow.
MNA: *stifling her giggles* Please...review...
Hiei opens the container only to have a pie crash into his face.
MNA: APRIL FOOL'S!...What are you doing?...Why are you unsheathing your katana?...Who has all the caffeine!!?
Everyone watches as Mitsukai's being chased by a very angry and messy Hiei.
~Happy April Fool's Day~ (written on April 2004)
Kuwabara: What's so special about that?
