Part
10: The First Attack
Standard
YYH disclaimer
*^^*
Kurama
raked a hand through his red hair.
It was
night and the Reikai tantei’s were in the Makai, well except Hiei. And they
were making camp. Botan came to Yuusuke earlier that day and had some
information on when Misami would be and they immediately went to the Makai. The
sooner they find her, the sooner that this would be over.
Kurama
raked his hand through his hair again. He already sent mental messages to Hiei
since noon and his koorime [1] still hasn’t replied to him. He sighed. He was
getting really worried. Hiei always replied to him after he sent him a message.
“Oi,
Kurama. If you keep raking your hair it might fall off” Kuwabara’s voice broke
into Kurama’s train of thought. The carrot-top laughed at his own joke and in
no time was choking himself to death with laughter.
Kurama
ignored it with a “Hn” that sounded a lot like Hiei’s and stared at the fire he
built earlier.
Yuusuke
and Kuwabara stared at the sad redhead and looked at each other.
Yuusuke
leaned close to Kuwabara’s ear. “Do you think he’s worried about Hiei?” Yuusuke
whispered.
“WHAT?!
Kurama worried about that little shri-mphhh!!” Yuusuke clamped a hand to Kuwabara’s
big mouth.
“Shut
up, Baka! [2] Kurama might hear you!” The raven-haired teen hissed at Kuwabara.
Kuwabara’s muffled voice quieted down and Yuusuke released him. Yuusuke
grimaced at his hand and wiped it on Kuwabara’s shirt. “Iya!! You’ve got your
drool all over it!!”
When
his hand was finally free of Kuwabara’s drool (eeeeeeewwwww!!!). Kurama had
fallen asleep on a bed he made out of his plants.
Kuwabara
took note of Kurama’s tired face and scowled. “Does Kurama really care about
that shrimp Hiei?” He pondered out loud, but not loud enough to wake Kurama up.
Yuusuke
nodded and placed a hand on his chin. “You know, he did sound really jealous
when he knew that Hiei had a former lover. Hmm…”
Kuwabara’s
jaw dropped open. “Nani?! [3] You mean, someone actually cared about Hiei?!” He
asked disbelievingly in that incredibly irritating voice of his (yeah! Its
incredibly high-pitched!!).
“baka!
Didn’t you hear what Misami said when we fought her?” Kuwabara shrugged and
Yuusuke sighed at his friend’s stupidity.
“And
sometimes Kurama hugs Hiei!” Yuusuke put in. Sometimes Kurama hugs Hiei and the
fire demon would blush but he wouldn’t pull away.
“Does
this mean…They’re lovers?! They hug, kiss, and cuddle and- “Kuwabara gasped
“And maybe…more!! Yuusuke glanced at Kurama, then Kuwabara. The carrot top met
Yuusuke’s eyes. And both shrieked.
“Eeeeeeeeeeeeewww!!!”
*^^*
Sunlight filled the Tantei’s camp as Kurama’s eyes flew open and
revealed his emerald green gems hazy with sleep.
He placed a hand over his eyes to keep the sunlight getting into
his eyes. It dawned on him that they were in a mission, and with a groan,
Kurama sat up and blinked at their camp.
Yuusuke was sleeping on a blue sleeping bag he brought with him,
and he was snoring. Kuwabara had an identical one only in red and he was
snoring like Yuusuke but his tongue was lolling out of his mouth.
The youko chuckled heartedly at his friends and got out of his
plant bed. He stretched his arms up above his head and yawned. He heard the
sound of water nearby-a meter or so- and decided to take a bath.
Kurama arrived at the lake and looked around in satisfaction. He
stripped his clothes and sank into the water. He sighed contentedly and took a
seed out of his hair. He infused a bit of youki into it and the plan grew. It
finished growing and Kurama smiled. The plant kinda’ looked like sunflower only
it was purple and it had a big opening at the center.
The flower dripped some liquid from the opening and Kurama used it
on his hair and created a rich lather, like shampoo. The fox sank into the
water until his face was the only thing to be seen.
Hiei, where are you? Kurama thought. He unbelievably missed his little Jaganshi and
worried about him too. His throat tightened at the thought that maybe Misami
had finally succeeded in taking Hiei away from him. He expelled the though and
sighed.
He finished his bath and was just finishing in buttoning up his
shirt when and unfamiliar ki registered on his senses.
Kurama moved his head away just as a blade whizzed past him. He
jumped away and landed gracefully a few feet away. He heard his attacker curse
in Makai language that definitely belonged to a male because of its low tenor
and he’s little mouth turned up into a smirk.
The youkai turned to him with a death glare and Kurama took note of
its appearance. The youkai had dark green skin that was full of scales. He had
a snake-like tongue that hissed when he sneered at Kurama, and he was only
armed with a blade. And from what the fox knew, the youkai was only a lowly
B-class.
“Kisama! [4]” The youkai shouted in the same language and charged
again. Kurama was quite impressed. The youkai had fast sword skills but not
fast enough to hurt Kurama.
Kurama picked a seed from his vast collection and took it out of
his hair. The youkai didn’t notice it and his sword whistled in the wind as he
attacked Kurama with swipes that could be deadly if the fox were hit.
Kurama aimed a punch at the youkai’s chest; the youkai was too slow
so he was hit and he slid a few feet away. His chest was bleeding and he
touched the purplish blood coming out of it. The youkai looked up at Kurama and
scowled darkly. “Omae…[5]” He muttered. “Shine!![6]” he shouted and righted his
sword again.
“Oh, I think not” Kurama said and suffused some youki into the
seed. With one last scream, plants burst out of the youkai’s chest and devoured
the unfortunate youkai. The creature was completely devoured and Kurama coaxed
the plant into a seed again.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. It took a lot out of him
to kill, even if the person-or youkai-was trying to kill him. Only one name
came into his mind that was trying to kill him. Misami. He sighed again and
walked back to camp. Catching small animals that could be eaten on the way.
He arrived at their camp and saw that Yuusuke and Kuwabara were
already awake. Kuwabara stood up from where he was sitting on a log and yawned.
“We thought you deserted us, seeing Hiei maybe?” Kuwabara said.
“Yeah! Were you ditching us for him?” Yuusuke joined in. They were
about to crack some more jokes when they saw the intense look in Kurama’s eyes
and stopped.
Kurama threw the animals that were breakfast on the log Kuwabara
was sitting on before and fixed them with his eyes. “Misami is trying to kill
us. One of her men attacked me while I was taking a bath earlier.”
“Figures.” Yuusuke remarked. “We’ll just have to find her sooner.
Where is Hiei when you need him?” Yuusuke grumbled.
“We don’t need that shrimp! I, Kazuma Kuwabara, will find that
Misami and beat her with a single punch!!” Kuwabara punctuated his point by
pumping his fist into the air.
Kurama rolled his eyes good-naturedly at his fellow tantei’s that
were brawling and combed his hair with his fingers. Yeah. Soon.
*^^*
Bwahahahahahahaha!!!! Finished another one! Okay, some notes:
[1] Koorime-a race of ice demons, since Hiei is half, I like
calling him koorime
[2] Baka-This means ‘Idiot’ and I think it really suits Kuwabara
well don’t you think?
[3] Nani-This means ‘what’.
[4] Kisama-From what I know this means ‘bastard’ some people say
that its another rough saying of ‘you’.
[5] Omae-This means ‘you’, only a little rough.
[8] Shine-from what I know, this means ‘die’ so correct me if I’m
wrong.
