Note from the author: All right, before you read this have you read Color me a butterfly? If not, some of this will not make any sense what so ever. Please go back to my profile and choose that series first.
Second of all, Welcome to the sequel to Color me a Butterfly where we continue the tale of Yoko/Kurama and Choucho.
Some changes to keep in mind:: I am keeping to the relative story line of YYH so that means the fights stay the same, I'll just be inserting Maze, Rexi/Choucho, and my own dialogue occasionally. Also, as you might read, she no longer goes by Choucho but by Rexi. This change will be explained in a further distant chapter. :) Please keep in mind that Rexi = Choucho and Choucho= Rexi.
I hope you enjoy~ :: Rosey
Chapter 1
A young woman ran down the hallway. "Come on Maze!" she cried, "We are going to miss the fight." Her kimono—bright silver with flecks of gold—kept tripping her and kept her from running at her full speed. She wished, oh boy did she wish, that she had brought her normal fighting outfit instead of this beautiful yet unsuitable dress kimono. Her eyes, brown like milk chocolate, were focused solely on the exit ahead of her; her sand color hair was whipping behind her in a short efficient braid.
The man next to her was having no trouble keeping up, but he didn't say anything to counter her as his black eyes shifted one way and then the other. He was looking out for her as she looked out for others. His own sand colored skin contrasted with his black hair, giving the impression of some Asian—or maybe Asian mix decent or that he was simply human. Only if one looked at his teeth which were all sharp, would one be able to tell that he was in fact a demon.
Finally they made it to the stairs that led into the crowded seats of the stadium. She stopped and looked for their targets. When she stopped, her eyes were drawn to the field below. A young man with red hair was playing whip-around-the-rosey with his opponent a kid with a fishing line. And then something happened to cause the young red head to cry out in pain and send his whip flying. When it hit the ground several feet away it it transformed back into a red rose. Then he was running, dodging attack after attack from the little kid. Rexi Choucho Ysandi forgot about protecting the four girls Koenma had said were so important- Keiko, Suzuru, Botan (who she already knew) and a demoness named Yukina he had named them. All she wanted to do was run down there and—
"Rexi, we are over here!" cried Botan, the bubbly grim reaper, as she waved her hand excitedly. Rexi jerked out of her stunned state and went to sit with them, a large plastic smile on her lips. "Everyone this is a guard that Koenma's sent for us. She'll be protecting us with the help of Maze there to keep demons from annoying us." Botan explained to the three other girls as Rexi's attention was once again captured by the men below.
Wait! "Where'd they go?" Rexi demanded, bringing their attention to the ring again. A smoke cloud had enveloped it, staying within a force field that had been raised. Rexi's body stiffed. Her sense of spirit energy said that Team Urameshi's team member was losing his spirit energy.
Maze took the position as body guard, knowing why Rexi had become so intense on the fight. She was watching it as if she was losing someone forever. Then lightning started to run through the clouds. Rexi launched from her seat, cheering as if someone had won the super bowl as the power surge rose. And rose. And rose. Maze smiled. Botan looked scared. She had never seen Rexi show an ounce of emotions since she had met her fifteen years ago and yet here she was showing it.
The fog started to dissipate and Rexi was practically jumping three feet in the air to look over the demon in front of her. In fact, she was climbing her way like a chipmunk up Maze's body to sit on his head to get a better view. It she could have, Maze thought, she'd grow wings and fly down there. But then again, if she got off his head he could fly her down there for her.
"He's not dead Maze! He's not dead!" Rexi kept crying as she launched herself forward. Fifteen years of thinking He was dead. Six more months not knowing. Now she knew. And boy, she could have provided enough energy to power a full city and this stadium for a year. She hoped from one head to the next until she hopped over the wall that separated the stands from the field.
She watched with love struck eyes and fascination as Yoko Kurama Used his Death Tree to terrorize the foolish child-demon-thing. He was bawling, asking for forgiveness. He was promising him all the information he wanted. But then someone was interfering with the fight and killed the poor beast that had acquired Yoko Kurama's displeasure. She didn't even notice the human and demon next to her that made up the rest of Team Urameshi at the moment.
Then Yoko was vanishing and the redhead returned.
"No!"
Rexi's voice rang over everyone else. "Give him back you stupid red haired demon spawn! Give me Yoko back!" she screamed, anger appearing on her face as he came towards her. Suichi Minamino was confused for sure. Who was this woman screaming at him to return Yoko? Didn't she know it didn't work that way?
"excuse me, but do I know you?" he asked as Kuwabara went up for his battle.
Rexi trembled as he watched her with confusion. She wanted to claw at him. She wanted to cry. There was so many things she wanted to do to this human that she was afraid she'd snap again like she had when her sister had played that horrible trick on her all those centuries ago. But her mind slowly processed it. This was his human form. There was no way to separate her Yoko and this polite pretty boy. The short demon walked over and watched her sag as the knowledge took control of her brain.
"A fan girl already Kurama?" he asked, voice full of scorn at her reaction.
"I-" Kurama began, his green eyes locking with her own chocolate ones as Maze jumped down to land next to her.
"Rexi, come. We need to pay attention to our job and protect the girls. You'll have plenty of time to demand things from these men later when Lord Koenma allows it." he said, ignoring the other two demons as he took her by the shoulder and turned her from Kurama and Hiei before she did snap. "Good day and bloody fighting to you." he told the two demons before picking the girl up like she weighed nothing. Then in one jump, he pushed himself up into the air and floated down next to the other four girls as if they both were a leaf on the wind. He put the girl he carried down in her seat as the other four watched her in stunned silence.
