Author's note: I love Yuyu Hakusho, don't get me wrong, it's just that I am hoping not to slaughter their character images by writing this fanfic. If I am just tell me, because I am very open to peoples' ideas and suggestions. But any-who on with the show!! … Sorry… On with the story!!!
Chapter One: Return Home
Yusuke turned and faced the demons that he had made friends and allies with for the last few months, "Hiei, Kurama, are you sure you don't want to return with us?" Hiei just turned his head the other way as he replied, with his usual calm, yet angered tone of voice.
"Hmmph, I'd rather rot away in Hell than return to your world, plus there's no one of my strength to fight against, so it would be rather boring." Yusuke just smirked at him.
"Yea that's right Hiei, no one is as strong as you, they are all weaker," he leaned in closer to Hiei, "But me. You know I'd kick your ass if you did anything wrong so you're just going back to the demon world where you can prey among the lower class demons. Huh?" Hiei's brow twitched a little as he held back his anger, well tried.
"Listen here detective, you humans are pathetically weak, and even a low class demon could devour almost any human, with little to no effort, I'm just returning because…" Hiei's sentence was left unfinished as Kurama held out his arm, signifying Hiei to stop with what he was saying, and stepped in on his behalf.
"Actually Yusuke, Hiei is going back to the demon world with me, we plan to start a new life together. Now that you have proven that your power is even stronger than ours, you no longer need us by your side. You have proven this by your match with Toguro." Kuwabara looked at the slightly embarrassed Hiei and burst out laughing.
"HAHAHA!!! Not only are you a shrimp but you're player for the same team!! And I thought you were so cool too!!" Kuwabara bent over rubbing the stitch in his side from laughing too much. Hiei just scowled at the laughing idiot and faded from sight. The group looked around for the missing fire demon, but they did not have to look long, fore he appeared near Kuwabara, katana in hand, just below Kuwabara's neck. Kuwabara's face changed from, a light laughter look, to a shocked look, then to a frightened look, all within a space of a few seconds.
"Listen here, idiot, any more words out of you, and you will no longer have a head to speak them with. I am still more powerful than you will ever be; remember that next time you ever wish to insult me or my way of living." Kuwabara could only nod, and even that was limited due to the three foot blade of steel underneath the nape of his neck. The motion of his head caused the blade to just barely cut the flesh. And a small trickle of blood ran down his neck. Hiei leaned over and reached up and licked the blood of the ashen faced young man. "Mmmm, the blood of humans' is great, especially when they are frightened. Fear gives blood a distinct taste, and your blood is full of this flavor. It seems that I have done my job." Hiei smiled and stepped back to stand with his kitsune (fox) lover, Kurama.
Yusuke just laughed a Kuwabara and added, "Well good luck to you guys it's about time we headed home." And as if summoned a boat was pulling in from the harbor, from beyond the wall of fog that seemed to cover the entire island.
"It's about time," a raspy voiced said from above. Every one shifted there attention to the origin of the voice. And then Genkai fell from the mist above. "I was growing tired of your childish bickering." She turned to Yusuke, "Well are we leaving?" the group looked at the dock and there was the boat, waiting to ferry them back to Japan.
Yusuke looked around, "sure lets go, I'm sick of this island, and I have plenty of classes to skip when I get back, but first tell me where you were hiding Grandma, you just appeared from no where." Genkai stared at the successor of her power for a moment.
"Idiot, it's foggy, I was just sitting on the tree branch right up there."
"Hehehe, I guess you're right. I need to pay more attention." Yusuke was scratching his head. "Wait a minute, I don't have to pay attention any more, Toguro is dead and he was the strongest right? And I sure aint payin' attention in school…" His sentence was finished with a loud smack, of Kayko's hand hitting Yusuke's head.
"You better not screw up in school, just think of all the work you have to put in just to stay in there now!!" Kayko had finally spoken; she was silent almost the whole time while the group was talking amongst themselves. She stormed onto the boat infuriated.
"KAYKO!! WAIT UP!!" Yusuke turned around and waved one last time to the two new demon lovers, and than followed suite, and ran onto the boat.
Kuwabara looked at Hiei nervously, grabbed his neck, and backed onto the nearby boat. His sister just laughed and waved farewell to the demon pair. "Good bye, guys!" and then she to disappeared into the blackness of inside the ferry.
Genkai was the last to board, yet before she departed she walked up to the kitsune, and fire apparition. "Well it's a shame you won't come back with us Kurama, Yusuke could really use your help, he may be powerful, but he is an idiot." Kurama smiled a small smile and replied in his calm manner.
"Thank you Genkai, for your vote of confidence, but my mind is made up. Yusuke will be fine with out us, and maybe better off. How else will he learn to become a smarter and better decision maker, if I am the one who is making all the decisions for him?" Genkai returned the same small smile.
"Well then I guess you are right. I also guess there is nothing left to say except try to keep your new partner out of trouble, you seem to be the only one who can keep him under wraps." Hiei glared at the aged woman, fury shone vibrantly from his eyes, and he was about to voice his anger with her when Kurama interjected.
"Do not worry Genkai; we plan on living simply, lying low, and not raising any trouble." Genkai walked over to the fire apparition, she gave him the same small smile that she gave Kurama.
"Well Hiei, you have certainly improved in both your temper, and your strength, just remember to keep it under control." She turned around to start for the boat, and was surprised with what she head from the lips of the "Cold hearted" demon.
"Very well, mind you I am not doing this because you said this, but if I became a criminal again, I would not like to have to repay my debt by helping out your dumb ass detective." Genkai turned her head slightly.
"Hiei, no matter your reason for doing it, you are still doing it, which in a way means you care at least minimally enough to make that choice, this is why you have improved. But it would seem I am making everyone wait on me, so I must be going now. Good luck to you both, and Kurama, good luck trying to obtain your demon form." And with that said she walked onto the harbored boat.
As the boat disappeared into the same thick fog that it had just moments ago arrived from, the pair of apparitions was finally left alone. "Well Hiei, no that they are now on there way home, do you not think we should be heading that way too?"
"Yes Kurama, it has seemed you have piqued my curiosity, and I wish to see you more in your yoko form. So I think we should search out that damn clown before making our home together." Hiei then turned and started to walk away…
Well does Hiei even like Kurama?? OHHH wouldn't you like to know? (Announcer voice) And will Kurama be able to obtain his yoko form permanently, find out on the next YuYu Hakusho!! (sorry I always wanted to do that)
ps. I am sorry but for some reason I can't seem to indent just the first lone of every paragraph, sorry, I know it's bothersome but we all have to deal with it for now.
