Together Then, Together Now
I do not own any of the characters from Yu Yu Hakusho.
Enter
The gang and Kurama got back to the city from another mission. Everyone was silent except for Yusuke and Kuwabara argued between one another.
"I wish they wouldn't be so stupid like that," Touya said, "for crying out loud their arguing over nothing of any importance."
"It doesn't matter that is just how they are," Kurama told Touya.
"I just wish they wouldn't do it so much," Jin said floating upside down above Touya and Kurama.
Kurama looked up at Jin and said, "You better get down and put the hat on. We're about to enter the city."
"Okay Kurama," Jin says while righting himself and landing near Kurama's left side, putting the cap on.
Moments later they were walking the crowded streets of Tokyo. They reached their destination, an old abandoned building with boarded up windows and doors. Kurama pulled back some of the boards so everyone else could crawl through. Once inside they all stood in a circle near the center of the building. Yusuke pulls out a communicator lays it down and activates before stepping back. Soon a portal like window appears over the communicator, and through the portal everyone could see Koenma filing paper work.
"The mission was a success, only minor injuries were received, and all demons were either captured or destroyed Koenma," Yusuke said holding up the Jalcane Box containing the captured demons.
"Good job, but I must know one thing," Koenma said, "was Reyo among the captured demons?"
"No Reyo was dead on the scene. It seems Kiyo no longer had any use for her, so he killed her," Yusuke said, "but we did manage to capture Kiyo."
"That's good. Well I'm sending Botan to receive the Jalcane Box and bring the demons back to Spirit World for trial," Koenma said.
With that the communicator shut off and Yusuke put it back into his pocket. Soon Botan appeared as said.
"I see the mission was a success and you all seemed to suffer minor injuries," Botan said taking the Jalcane Box form Yusuke and hoped back onto her ore.
"I don't think you should trial Kiyo just yet," Kurama warned Botan.
"And why is that Kurama," Botan asked looking at him confused.
"He is un- - -
Suddenly everyone was thrown into the wall and held there until the wall gave way and they all fell to the ground. After recovering and getting everyone to their feet, they all looked around to see what threw them into the wall.
"What the hell was that," Yusuke said angrily popping his neck.
"I don't know, but it was a powerful energy blast that seemed to come from the west," Kurama said looking over the hole that was made in the wall.
All the sudden the communicator started going off. Yusuke pulls it out activates it. Soon they all saw Koenma looking a bit unraveled.
"Koenma where did that energy wave come from," Yusuke asked.
"The energy blast originated in an alley three blocks west and down an alley," Koenma said, "Yusuke be careful the person that emitted that energy blast is still emitting out large amounts of Spirit energy. So approach with caution everyone."
Yusuke turned off the communicator and put in back into his pocket.
"We're heading out to," Yusuke stopped short.
"It seems that two more energy spikes have popped up," Botan said.
"You sensed two," Kuwabara said, "I'm sensing eight right now."
The communicator went off again.
"Yusuke there are now eight energy spikes going off at one time," Koenma said, "and all are sending out the same amount of spirit energy, so I want you to split up and find out which spike is coming from a person."
"Alright," Yusuke said closing the communicator.
"Kuwabara, Chuu you two go to the north. Botan, Jin you two go south. Touya, Kurama you two go west. Hiei and I will go east. Is everyone okay with that," Yusuke said.
Everyone nodded in agreement and went off in their appointed direction.
"It seems that one of the energy spikes are coming from two blocks ahead and down an alley," Kurama said stopping at a cross walk.
"The other is two blocks left and down an alley," Touya said, "I'll take the one on the left and you get the one up ahead."
"Alright, but be careful," Kurama said, "Because whoever sent out the energy wave is still sending out large amounts of spirit energy."
Touya agreed and left across the street. Kurama then started walking toward the other energy spike.
Kurama got to the alley and walked down it, and as he walked he felt the spirit energy was moving toward him. He stopped and waited for the person to come into view. A trashcan was knocked over and a girl with crimson black tipped hair came into view. She staggered forward a little before leaning against the wall, with her hair hiding her face. Kurama slowly moved closer to her and accidentally hit a can by his feet. He looked down and then back at the girl. Only to find her with her back pressed to wall and her face in full view staring him straight in the eyes. Kurama looked at her face and saw she had fresh cuts on her face, and both her nose and lip were bleeding. Kurama look down at the rest of her and saw her clothes were ripped and he could see the cut lying under the torn cloth and blood had stained her white tank almost red. Her jean jacket was torn; blood soaked and hung off her left shoulder. The girl slowly started to sink to the ground and as she did a blood trail was left where her back touched the wall. Kurama rushed over to her and pulled her forward to see the wound on her back. The wound was a deep gash in her left shoulder and it looked about four inches long and looked to be two to three inches deep.
"It's nothing so don't bother yourself with it," the girl said using his shoulder as support as she got to her feet.
"No you need help and quickly before you bleed to death," Kurama said jumping up to catch her before she fell.
"I don't need any hel, she passed out in his arms.
Soon the communicator in Kurama's pocket went off. He readjusted the girl in his arms and answered it.
"Kurama no one found anything and I'm hoping you founds something," Koenma said.
"I found the person who sent out the energy wave, but I need a portal straight to the hospital wing," Kurama said turning off the communicator and lifting the girl into his arms.
Instantly a portal opened in front of him and he walks through it coming out in front of the hospital wing, and there where nurses standing there ready with a stretcher. Kurama laid the girl on the stretcher and step out of the nurses' way. He watched as they disappeared behind the hospital doors before he tossed the girls wallet in the air catching it and walking to Koenma's office.
Kurama knocked on the door and waited for an answer.
"Come in," came the voice of Koenma through the doors.
Kurama entered and tossed the wallet onto Koenma's desk and took a seat in front of him.
"Whose wallet is this Kurama," Koenma said picking it up and looking inside it.
"It belongs to the girl that was sending out the energy spikes," Kurama said.
"Wait it was a girl that was doing all of that, is she alright Kurama," Koenma said looking up from the wallet.
"Yes it was a girl and she should be fine after a couple of weeks of rest in the hospital," Kurama said letting out a burdened sigh.
"That will be good," Koenma said, "so her name is Necko Eloway Talon, she is eighteen years old, and by what this library card says she is a student of Minudo High School."
"That's strange," Kurama said, "if she is a student of Minudo then what is she doing in Tokyo on a Monday?"
"I don't know, but I need to know how bad was her injuries Kurama," Koenma asked.
"She had minor cuts all over, except for a deep slash wound on her left shoulder," Kurama said, "I'm guessing when that wound was inflected is when she sent out the energy wave."
"Alright, well we will just have to wait for her wake before we can get information on exactly what happened in that alley," Koenma said.
"Do you think you can get some information on her background? Maybe then we can find out why she got attacked in the first place," Kurama said rising to leave.
"I'll get Botan on it immediately," Koenma said, "Kurama you might want to take a shower you're covered in blood."
"Alright Koenma I'll see you when you found out something about Necko or you have another mission for the group to complete," Kurama said leaving for the mansion where the rest of the group was at.
As Kurama was walking toward the mansion, his mind drifted back to Necko.
'How was she sending out all those energy spikes in different locations and holding them for twenty minutes without killing herself.' Kurama thought to himself.
'She must be very powerful,' Youko answered in Kurama's mind.
'But it looks as if she failed trying to fight back against her attackers,' Kurama reported back.
'For all you know Kurama she might not know how to fight back physically, but with the use of spirit energy she is very powerful and she just needs to be taught how to use it,' Youko answered.
'When are you ever nice to a girl other then my mother Youko,' Kurama asked getting suspicions of his Kitsune counterpart.
'I'm being nice to her after what I did for scaring that other fan girl that keep hanging on you,' Youko replied, 'besides that fan girl was a whore just looking for trouble.'
Before Kurama could reply back, Youko had retreated back into the furthest parts of Kurama's soul, but was still there just below the surface.
Kurama looked up only to notice that he was standing in front of the mansion. He walked inside, but no sooner did he come into view of the others was he meet by a panicking Botan.
"Kurama your bleeding you need to get to the hospital wing now," Botan said almost to the point of hyperventilating.
"Botan calm down it is not my blood it belongs to Necko the one who threw us into the wall with the energy wave," Kurama said backing up then walking past her up a flight of stairs before anyone else could ask any questions.
After throwing the shirt in the trash and taking a shower, Kurama put on a pair of dark tan sleep pants. He sat down on his bed picking up a book that he was really looking forward to finishing and started to read. Kurama had been reading his book for about an hour when Jin bursts into his room unannounced and caused Kurama to jump and fall off the bed hitting his head on the ground.
"Jin this better be important or you going to regret barging into my room like that," Kurama said getting up off the floor rubbing the back of his head.
"Koenma said he wants everyone in his office now no asking questions just get a shirt on and lets go," Jin said quickly to get away from the now agitated red head standing in front of him.
After that was said Jin half ran half flew down the hallway to get away from Kurama's room. Kurama got a shirt and put it on as he left his room closing the door behind him. He got down to the living room and found everyone there waiting to leave.
"I wonder what he needs to talk to us about," Kuwabara asked.
Before anyone could answer him they were surrounded by a white light and after the light disappeared they were all standing in front of Koenma. Koenma had a folder lying out in front of him, and was reading through another one.
"All we could find on Necko was the school and medical records," Koenma said laying down the file he was reading and faced they group in front of him.
"Okay I'm guessing he is an average student and has a good medical record," Yusuke said not impressed about being there.
"Actually you are wrong Yusuke. Necko is a girl. Also she tested out of high school two years ago, and is taking collage level classes and this is not the first time she has been put in the hospital with similar injuries," Koenma said taking a breath.
"Wait she's a girl," Yusuke said, "and she has been jumped before"
"Yes, Necko has been hospitalized with similar injuries forty-seven times in the last two years," Koenma said looking over the file to make sure he was reading it right, "and every time she was attacked she never told the police who was hurting her."
"It also states in her medical records that she doesn't stay in the hospital very long. Maybe up to three or four days and then she is back on her feet. All the cuts she has received are ninety percent healed. They never leave a scar, except for the cross shaped scar on her left shoulder and the five inch scar on her left side," Koenma said, "other then that she has carried no other reminders of her being attacked in the past two years."
"Great we're dealing with the silent, quick healing type," Chuu said sarcastically, "so what do you want us to do about her."
"In three days she is probably going to wake up and when that happens she is going to be confused with what is going on, so all of you are going to take turns keeping an eye on her before she wakes up," Koenma said, "you are dismissed."
"Great, guess now we have to sit here and wait for this Necko girl to wake up," Touya said falling back into a chair annoyed at the current situation.
Kurama looked at everyone before heading back up to his room to finish reading his book. He settled back on his bed picking up his book and continued to read where he left off. Not even fifteen minutes later Jin burst into his room again. Kurama already annoyed with Jin throws his book hitting Jin right in between the eyes hard enough that it knocked him out cold. Kurama picked Jin up and carried him back down to the living room and tossed him down on the couch. The rest of the group just looked at Jin then at Kurama and then back to Jin before busting into laughter. Kurama sighed and left back up to his room. Back in his room he picked up the book laid down and continued to read again, but about half an hour later Kurama was asleep on his stomach with the book dangling from his hand off the side of the bed.
