Ellen: Hey y'all! While I'm waiting for my whole story to be posted,
here is another short story set in the same universe as "A Rainer
Demon Is Born", so you should read that first! If you already know
that story, enjoy! This is set after the Dark Tournament, in the POV
of Nerua. Thanks very much to Vanishing Roses for the inspiration to
this story.
Disclaimer: I don't own YYH or Yoko Kanno. But if I did...
Muahahahahaha...
Kuwabaka: Uh-oh.
Dear Diary, Tues, May 14
Something terrible happened today! Kurama is... Kurama is dead! It was a beautiful spring morning...
"Sigh... The forest is so peaceful... I love nature!" I smiled and said to no one in particular as I sat in my favorite tree. The sun streamed through the gaps in the tree branches, the birds sang... "Huh?" A demon approached; I could sense him because his evil presence fouled the pure air around me. Sort of like something I remembered from the Dark Tournament... "Oh!" I exclaimed, as Karasu erupted from the bushes in front of me. Suddenly, Karasu waved his arms, and rings of darkness burst forth and bound me to the tree I was sitting in.
"Karasu?! I thought Kurama-kun killed you!!" I cried out.
"Escaping from Spirit World was pitifully simple. Ha ha ha. Now I can get my revenge on Kurama for killing me by killing the one he loves most!" He hurled a bat-bomb at me, but just as it was getting a bit too close for comfort, I sighted a blur of green, (a friendly neighborhood Rose Whip) and the bomb exploded in mid-air. Kurama had come to save me!
Karasu immediately launched an attack at Kurama, and the two began to fight with unrestrained hatred. On and on the fight raged, and just as it seems that Kurama was getting the upper hand, Karasu turned his attention to me, and threw another bomb at me, except it was five times the size of the previous one. Me being still tied to the tree, I couldn't do anything about it; I had tried to break the bonds while Karasu and Kurama fought, but it had been to no avail. I closed my eyes in anticipation of great pain.
As if in a dream, I sensed an explosion. I opened my eyes and everything seemed in slow motion (play "Blue" by Yoko Kanno); I saw Kurama in front of the explosion; since he hadn't had enough time to block the bomb with his Rose Whip, he had jumped in front of it to save me.
Karasu ran off, rightly afraid of the powers of an angry Rainer Demon, which freed me from the bonds that held me to the tree. I ran over to Kurama, and held his head up.
"Nerua, you know I would die for you..." he murmured in his last breath, and because of the force of the explosion, his soul completely disappeared from all three worlds.
"Hey, N-chan! What're you doing here? It's not safe! I heard that Karasu is on... the... loose..." Mitsky walked up just at that moment, and stuttered to a stop as she took in the scene. I slowly looked up at her with a death glare worthy of a Rainer Demon, and started shouting at her angrily about how late she was, and what had happened, but before I could finish, I broke down into sobs. Now I have to live without Kurama! It's not fair!
After that I er... kinda went on a rampage through Spirit World as Malecasu, wreaking havoc on anything unfortunate enough to be within arm's reach, heh, heh, until we found the king's palace. Not bothering with doors, Malecasu and I crashed through the building to reach Koenma's office. He and Botan were chatting, but when the entire wall was pulverized, they froze. I stormed across the room to Koenma's desk, and, by applying slight pressure, the desk was completely decimated and a large fissure formed in the ground. Botan shakily commented that she heard her mother calling her, and walked stiffly out of the room, leaving Koenma with nowhere to hide. Electrical charges seething from my body, I began to shout at Koenma about how stupid he was to let Karasu escape. My throat hurts from it all.
"Now, now, Nerua – er, Malecasu, don't be angry!" Koenma was chuckling nervously. "Karasu's escape had nothing to do with me! Besides, it helped you pass the first part of your test."
"Test? What test?" I asked as I changed back to human form. Before Koenma had to answer, he handed me the egg of a spirit beast.
"Here. This spirit egg is yours. Your recent actions have unlocked its true power. It should hatch any time now..." The prince of Spirit World was interrupted by a bright glow emanating from the egg. The glowing patch of light morphed in my hand, and when the glow was gone stood... a cute little fox! I set him on the ground and he grew to the normal size of a fox cub. I squatted down to take a look at my new pet.
"Oh, Koenma, he's soooo adorable!! How did you know I loved foxes?" I immediately started petting the small fox.
"It wasn't hard to figure out," the vertically challenged ruler said smugly, "since you loved Kurama so much. This spirit beast was formed from what bits and pieces of Kurama's soul were left in these three worlds; apparently, his dying wish was to protect you always. However, this little guy won't remember being Kurama, and he can't speak."
"Koenma, I..." Tears welled into my eyes at the thought of being reunited with Kurama, and at that moment, the little fox rubbed himself against my legs. I picked him up and cradled him in my arms. "I'll name you K-Chan." As I petted K-chan, I noticed a little rose-shaped birthmark on his left hind paw. I kept this discovery to myself for the time being. As I left the destroyed office, I planted a small kiss on Koenma's nose, which left him stunned until I could walk out of the room.
Ellen: In case you don't know "Blue" by Yoko Kanno, it's a really sad
and pretty song that I was listening to while I wrote this and it fits
the mood as background music.
Fwooshy: Hn. "K-Chan". Why -Chan? Isn't that suffix for girls?
Ellen: Yes, but it can be used for guys too. Besides, "K-Kun" is just
repetitive.
Fwooshy: Hn.
