Demonology Sequel: Remember?
Chapter 1: Locating
Previously
"With a photo of the victim, strand of hair, and spell of mystery… the two Halflings called Kyla and Nyssa shall go back in a history!" Photos of the girl drifted down, bursting in green flames. "Their memory be taken and their traces here forsaken!"
Kurama and Hiei picked up the girls' weapons on impulse and threw them towards the pinpoint of Daniel's voice, above them. There was a gasp, gargle, and he fell… he landed feet away from them with Nyssa's katana through his head and Kyla's blades through his chest. He was dead.
"Kurama… I…" Kyla tried to speak. "I… love you…"
"Kyla… I love you too…" He bent down to kiss her but… she became transparent and he couldn't feel her. "Kyla!"
"Kurama!" she tried to reach up and touch him but vanished in the familiar blue shimmering glow that she appeared in the world in.
Hiei looked down at Nyssa. She was trying to reach his hand. He grabbed it. "Nyssa…"
"Hiei… I…"
"Don't try to talk… we'll get you back to Koenma's and fix you…"
"I… I love you…" she managed to say. A tear fell to the ground.
Hiei went to brush the side of her cheek but didn't feel anything. Even the grip that he had on her hand was gone. "Nyssa!"
She gave an inaudible yell of his name as she became transparent, shimmering in the ominous blue glow. She was gone, just as Kyla.
Both guys were shattered within. They punched at the ground in frustration… they couldn't save them… they were gone…
Hiei picked up the tear gem that remained and held on to it. Kurama got up first, shaking with anger. He went over to Daniel's dead corpse. "You bastard… Pray that I don't see you in hell." He took out Kyla's weapons, letting them revert to their beautiful bleeding-heart roses.
Hiei got up and took out the katana embedded in Daniel's skull. "Hell is too good for you, bastard…"
The two heard quiet beeping from their rings and heard Koenma's voice. "What's going on?! Kyla and Nyssa aren't registered on the monitor anymore!"
"…They're gone, sir…" Kurama managed to say.
"You mean…" Koenma started, almost afraid to say it.
"No! They're not dead! They went back… home…" Hiei slowly said, looking at the ground.
The two girls were back in their own world, not knowing about their close-to-death experience.
Now, Three Years Later
No matter how many missions, no matter how long the training periods, two demons could no forget that day three years ago. It haunted them each night. They didn't wish to forget and had no will to continue on. When demons commit their love to someone, it stays for eternity, even if the mating ritual was not performed.
Kurama, the fox demon, managed to make a permanent serum to allow his Youko to switch at any given time without restriction of strain or energy. He decided that after he lost the girl who had captured his doubled fox heart, but never gave up hope to see her again. Hiei, the forbidden child, had physically grown to only half a foot shorter than Kurama. He wore a second tear gem around his neck that belonged to a girl, whom he still treasured in his secret heart.
Koenma had told them to try and live their lives, not letting the loss weigh down on them. It was easy for him to say but hard for the two demons to do. But now… today would be different. They were called to his office, as usual.
"Boys, I take it that you remember what happened three years ago with Kayla and Lisa."
"That's Kyla and Nyssa." Both Hiei and Kurama corrected him, sounding infuriated that he would say their names wrong.
"Sorry… Kyla and Nyssa. We apparently got a signal from their rings last week."
Kurama slammed his hands down on the desk. "And you didn't tell us?!"
"I had to confirm the signal before notifying either of you!" Koenma snapped back. He cleared his throat. "Now, we are working on establishing a portal to the world they reside in as we speak. As far as the girls go, it seems that the spell that Rabcliff used was ancient magic used back when the dragon clan was still thriving. It was hit-or-miss magic."
"Get to the point." Hiei growled.
"What I'm saying is that I am not sure whether the girls will remember you or not. All I know is that their DNA strands are still the same as when they left, that they have been in human form for the entire time we've been tracking them, and they have not encountered anything life-threatening lately." Koenma pulled out some reports. "I am well aware that you boys were and still are infatuated with them, but we have to approach this situation with care. So when we establish a portal, I'm sending Yusuke to meet them first."
"WHAT?!" The two yelled out, causing a couple ogres in the room to drop their paper stacks.
"No arguments! My mind is made up and you are not going to be joining Yusuke when the portal is first accessible! And that's final!" Koenma hit his palm down on to his desk to prove his point.
Walking down the streets of a town called Winkler, slick, aka Yusuke Uremeshi, glanced around, eating a subway sandwich that he purchased with money he pick-pocketed. He couldn't believe that he was going to find Kyla and Nyssa in a place like this. It seemed so… rural… and plain… and rather boring. Those two girls were anything but boring.
A school bell rang from across the street, not far from the Subway he was at. It was a high school. According to Koenma, the girls would either be in their last year, graduated, or taking collage. Man, he was supposed to be on his last year of school… that's if he hadn't dropped out and taken the final exam already to stay out of school.
"Sucks to be them." He snickered, taking another large chomp out of his sandwich. He looked at the car dealership next to him, seeing how easy it would be if he could hotwire one of these cars…
A beeper went off inside his pocket and he pulled it out. It turned on and revealed Botan smiling brightly with her blue hair.
"Yusuke! We just got a bit of a stronger signal from the girls. Where are you located?" She called out.
"I'm by a car dealership across from the high school. Are they at the school?"
"Nope. Kyla should be north-north-east of your location. And Nyssa should be east-north-east. Head in that direction and contact us when you have visual confirmation of one of them. Got it?"
"Ya, ya, I got it." Yusuke hung up and continued walking down the sidewalk towards the set of lights past the Dairy Queen. The crisp spring air blew at the stray hairs that were not held down by hair gel atop of Yusuke's head. This was a nice time of year for a place like this, though there was quite a bit of snow spots all around.
At the lights, where he had just finished his sub sandwich, he saw a school bus driving on dirt behind a giant store called 'Wal-mart'. Oh damn his curiosity. He waited for the light to turn to his favor and ran across the road towards the field behind the store.
It took a good five minutes to where the school bus parked, so Yusuke looked around and saw a group of students in a semi-circle around two people. One of them was a shorter female, while the other was taller guy around his height. A shine from the sun reflected off of something in the girls' hair. Yusuke decided to get closer, finding the item in the girl's hair to be familiar…
"Everyone got that? No one goes towards Wal-Mart or the highway or the consequences will be severe!" the man announced.
"That's right! You'll have to write three essays in three days about three researchers by our choice!" the girl announced beside him, her light voice called out with a bit of joy detected in it.
"Good! Split up in to groups of two and bring back your completed forms in one hours time!" the students disbanded throughout the field. "Okay Kyla, I have to use the washroom. I trust you'll keep a watchful eye out?"
"No problem Mr. Coburn! Wanna get me some water while you're in there?" she smiled.
Yusuke stopped before taking another step towards them. It was Kyla. And she was wearing the ribbon that Kurama had given her those years ago. The man walked passed him, giving a friendly smile yet suspicious look as he entered the store. He decided to make sure that it was the same girl before reporting in… Yusuke proceeded towards Kyla.
"Yo." He greeted with a wave.
Kyla turned at looked at him with her green eyes, not as vibrant as the last time they met, but still bright. She smiled and waved back. "Yo."
"What's a bunch of kids doing behind this store?" he stood nearby her.
"Oh just a trial-run, secluded, sample-taking test sort of thing." She said with a little grin. Yusuke blinked at her in confusion. "It's for archeology. Just testing specific items for their properties and whatnot. I'm Kyla, teacher-in-training." She held out her hand to him.
Yusuke blinked but smiled. So she didn't remember him. He'd be insulted under different circumstances. "Yusuke Urameshi, I'm visiting an old friend here in Winkler." He accepted her hand in a hand-shake.
"Nice to meet you Yusuke. But…" she blinked at him and looked a bit closer. "You look familiar, have we met before?"
"Well, that's something I've never been asked before." He laughed a bit nervously. He looked down at his watch. "Oh crap! I'm late! Sorry to greet and run, Kyla! Catch ya later sometime!" he turned around and booked it to the other side of the building.
Kyla watched him in confusion and pondered where she had seen him before. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw two of the students about to throw some dirt at another group of students.
"Fred! George! Drop the dirt or you're getting ten extra tests!" she sprinted towards the red-headed twins, making them drop their dirt in shock and a bit of fear.
Yusuke sighed and went to a secluded area by the closed gardening section outside of the store. He pulled out his yellow round communicator and called Botan.
"I encountered Kyla. She did not remember me but thought I looked familiar. She also has the ribbon that Kurama gave her."
"Okay! Now, then Nyssa should be directly east from your location. After you come in to contact with her, report in and we'll decide on the next step. Got it, Yusuke?"
"Yup." Yusuke shut off his communicator and looked towards the building complex towards the east. He walked on, down the road called 'Fox Fire Trail' ironically enough since Kyla was on this road.
The building ahead looked like a triple business complex… Rite-way Rentals, Apple Auto Glass, and Piston Ring were the signs hung on the back. Nyssa would most likely be inside one of the three… Yusuke looked down at his watch, reading close to three in the afternoon for the local time.
What would she be employed as? Probably a secretary or something… He'd find out in a few minutes as he got closer to the businesses.
Kurama and Hiei sat in one of the bedrooms that Kyla and Nyssa first stayed in when they met. Memories were racing through their minds as they recalled everything that happened. No words were spoken between the two as they stayed within their thoughts.
Koenma would call them when Yusuke completed the tasks and returned. Only then would they be able to try and see Kyla and Nyssa.
Okay. Half the guys inside that Rite-Way store spoke German and broken English. That was really helpful… not. He almost rented a dolly… What the hell was a dolly!? Raking his fingers through his hair, Yusuke continued on to the next doorway.
Apple Auto Glass. What did apples have to do with glass? Good to the core or something? Right… He walked past a few cars and a large garage door before going in to the office. He went up to the desk to see a man typing on a computer. He looked up to Yusuke with a warm smile.
"Hi there. How can I help you?" he stood up.
"Hi. I'm just browsing around town and this place caught my curiosity. I was wondering what it is that you guys do." Yusuke spoke.
"Well, we are a service shop. We mainly focus on automotive glass, repairing and replacing. We also do automotive glass tinting, vehicle detailing, and special requests and specials that involve our products. I'm Gerry by the way. I'm the manager."
"Nice to meet you, Gerry. I'm Yusuke." They shook hands in greeting. "What do you mean by detailing? Like painting?"
"We aren't equipped for sanding and painting, through we can do the polishing stages. We clean the vehicles inside and out. Our two detailers are working on a dealership vehicle right now if you would like to ask them what they specifically do."
"Sure, if that's okay. How many employees do you have, by the way?" Yusuke put his hands in his pockets.
"I have three guys working for me, as well as my daughter. Kevin is our tinter, as well a windshield repair expert and windshield replacement expert. Vern is our polisher and is also an expert in windshield repair and replacement. Bob is our detail specialist and comical relief." They had a laugh about that. "And my daughter, Nyssa, is the other detailer as well as windshield repair specialist." (A/N: a little tidbit about me, I actually do this)
Yusuke had to stop himself from asking to see Nyssa specifically. Father's could change their colors rather fast when it comes to their 'little girls'. "Wow. Sounds like you got a good group working for ya. Is it alright if I check out your shop?"
"Go right ahead. Have some coffee if you'd like and if you have any questions, feel free to ask." He smiled and answered the phone as it started to ring.
Yusuke went to the back of the shop and looked around. He saw three guys but no…
"Excuse me, sir. Hot water coming through." A voice behind him said.
"Oh sorry!" Yusuke moved aside and saw a girl with glasses and dark colored hair smile up at him while carrying a bucket full of steaming water. The hair was different, the glasses looked similar, but the smile was the same. It was Nyssa.
"Have you been helped?" she set the bucket down by a blue thing…
"Oh yeah, I was just wanting to ask some questions. Are you Nyssa?"
"Yes I am. And you are?"
"Yusuke Urameshi. Must be fun working with a bunch of guys." He extended a hand to her to shake.
She took off her gloves and shook his hand. "Nice to meet you Yusuke. It is fun working with a bunch of guys. They're all like teenagers." She smirked a bit. "And sometimes like pre-schoolers."
A few of the guys gave sounds of protest or agreement. Couldn't really tell.
Yusuke laughed. "I know the feeling. Anyways…" Yusuke looked down at his watch. "Damn. I got to be somewhere in a few minutes. I'll come back some other time to get some questions answered about what you guys do. It was nice meeting you."
"Nice meeting you too, Yusuke. Have a good day." She picked up the bucket, flinching and rubbing her upper arm and shoulder before resuming her work.
Yusuke left the building, bidding his thanks and farewell to Gerry and walked towards a secluded area, calling up Botan on his communicator.
"I have encountered Nyssa. She is under similar status as Kyla for no recognition. But she has a pain in her arm and shoulder by what I've seen. So what do we do now?"
"Well, I'll send a portal to your location and we'll discuss what we do next here." Botan said, pressing a button.
"Right." Yusuke shut off the communication device before jumping in to the portal that appeared nearby him. It disappeared in a show of multi-colored sparkles as Yusuke did.
Kyla looked around the corner in confusion. She thought that she saw sparkles. Must be another weird phenomenon. She came around the building and walked in to Apple.
"Ny-chan! It's 3:00! Are you done yet?" she called in, waving to Gerry with her joyful glow. "Hi Mr. Manager!" (A/N: Originally had my last name in there but… for internet security reasons, ya, you get the idea.)
"Why hello, trouble. Nyssa should be done soon." He smiled at her as she went to the back to retrieve her friend from the clutches of work.
Grabbing her friend from behind as she was putting away a shampooer, Kyla pulled her to the side and hugged her tightly.
"Air… Can't breathe." Nyssa joked with a fake gasping gag. Kyla let her go and gave her trademark grin. "Let me guess, its time?"
"Yup! Let's go!" Kyla grabbed Nyssa's coat and tossed it on to her head, running back in to the office.
"Okay! I'm coming!" Nyssa threw her jacket on and grabbed her stuff, running out the door with Kyla after saying farewell to her father and co-workers.
They jumped in to a small black pick-up truck and started to ride towards the sad but efficient mall of Winkler. They both had bags with them when they got out of the truck and walked inside the mall. It was fairly empty for the time of day, so it was rather nice. Kyla skipped over to the center bowl of the mall and sat down on the steps.
Nyssa joined her as they both began to pull out tin cases that were wrapped in soft cloths. They were roughly the same shape but had different designs on them. Nyssa's tin was a deep blue with small sakura flowers and little white rabbits designed on them. The chopsticks that she pulled out were of the same design pattern, but with a lighter blue shade.
Kyla's tin was red with that popular Japanese fetish design of Hello Kitty. The little white cat was drawn wearing a kimono, holding traditional lunch and tea ceremony items. She pulled out a set of matching chopsticks and opened her tin. Inside, revealing exactly what the tin was, was a Japanese bento lunch.
Kyla had two sections within her bento. On one side, there were rice balls wrapped in seaweed, while the other side had pieces of chicken in various shapes, octopus styled hotdogs, and a small cake in the shape of the Hello Kitty face.
Nyssa's bento box had a cold noodle salad on one side, calamari rings, celery, and beef on the other side. Nyssa's box lunch was not as organized as Kyla's but both girl's bento boxes were home made, so they know it tasted good. They talked and chatted for a while until Kyla brought up the sparkles.
"I came around the corner and saw a strange light, then some sparkles in a circular shape. It was really strange." Kyla pondered. "It reminded me of something from a science fiction book." She munched on her rice ball.
"Well, I can't say its impossible cause we did see that strange meteor shower a few years back." Nyssa's hand went up to her shoulder. "I still don't know what it was but my shoulder still bugs me from those beds or something."
"Strange things happen, and stranger things do happen."
"Got that right. Like how Chris Angel can walk through glass. That is a strange phenomenon."
"But its so cool! Speaking of which, I just bought the fifth season, you should watch it with me." Kyla poked her chopsticks at Nyssa's arm.
"Sounds like fun. Let me know when you have time and we'll get together at one of our places."
"Why not today?"
Nyssa finished her bento and closed the tin. "Remember? I promised my mom I'd help her with a rock garden."
"Oh right! Okay, never mind. How about on Saturday then?" Kyla closed her bento box.
"At my place or yours?"
"Um… I don't know." Kyla thought. "How about I call you when I find out how the renovation is going?"
"Sure. Sounds okay. Where would you like to go for our few hours left?" Nyssa put away her box and stretched, standing up.
"I don't know. You know I don't like choosing." Kyla stood up and stretched.
"Well, how about we cruise ad find a spot for a picnic for later this year?" Nyssa pulled out her keys.
"Okay!" Kyla smiled and walked with her friend back towards the truck.
