Princess Yuya

My Brother


She left Okuni sitting at the camp and went along to the hot spring alone. That dream is bothering her way too much, and she needed time alone. But, she does miss Okuni for a back scratchier because it is itching like crazy. She sits on the side of the spring, her kimono behind her along with her gun, and her head looking down in her lap. With her eyes down she didn't notice the thick fog flowing behind her.

Kyoshiro, a guy name Chinmei, and the Crimson King is or was my brother? I a warrior? she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. This is not happening! A dream is a dream and nothing else!

She feels something or someone behind her and turns around and finds two small reflections of herself and a familiar smile. "Hello." it is a man.

Yuya begins to scream, but a vine wraps around her mouth and the person spots of her body then lifts her into the air of the hot spring and creates a vine chair to sit in front of him. A man with circle glasses, a high pony tail is holding his puffy hair, and he wears flower decorated pants.

"Well, well you've grown." he floats near her, placing a hand on her cheek.

She tries to say "What?", but couldn't get it out. His hand feels familiar against her skin, but also strange.

'He's the man from my dream. C-Chinmei, my brother.'

"Yuya, if you scream I will have one of my vines dig into your skin. So, when I let go, no screaming. Got it?" he whispers to her gently.

Tears starts forming in her eyes as she nods her head. 'A brother shouldn't act like this.'

She's release from him and gently let down into the pool. And once down, she grabs her towel and wraps it around her. "What do you want? How do you know my name? How did you get in my dream? Who are you?"

"Now, one question at a time, my dear." he chuckles. "I just want to see my little sister again, I know you in your first life, but now I'm getting to know you in this one. Your having dreams about your past life? It's about time you learn about your role and statues towards the Crimson King and the Mibu. And I am one out of three out of your older brothers."

"I only have one brother?"

"What?" he chuckles, rolling up his pants, and putting his feet in the water. "You mean the shaman who raised you in your second life? That idiot isn't your brother!"

"Don't insult my brother!" she yells at him.

"Easy now, keep the volume down." he starts taking off his shirt and Yuya blushes.

"W-What are you doing?" she asks, scare.

"I'm taking a bath with my little sister." he starts taking off his pants.

Yuya turns around and starts to get out, but before she does, he grabs her hips and pulls her back in. The thought of being rape race through her mind and tears starts to trail down her eyes. He wipes her tears away and starts walking around the hot spring with her in his arms.

"Don't cry."

"Please," she pleases him to let her go.

"I haven't done this for a long time. Let me do it this month. Just relax enjoy the ride. And stop shivering and crying, I don't think I have the heart to kill you now when you half naked and with out your memories."

Yuya makes sure they don't touch completely or look at him. She has her hands on his shoulder with her head down on his chest as they smoothly move through the water. For a few moments she stops shaking and finds the ride to be relaxing and fun. She leans her head to the side of his right shoulder and finds a small cross on his shoulder. She places a hand on the scar cross and traces it with her fingers. It feels smooth like the rest of his skin, but the most powerful place on his body. Just touching the place, she feels a strange but power or energy coming into her. Her fingers starts to tingle.

Chinmei stops and makes her look into his eyes and find demon eyes like Kyo's.

"Was that so bad? Now, I'm hear to warn you what is going to change about you. All I can tell you is to get long gloves and cover up or everything you touch, it will die. You have a death touch and some people can touch you."

"I can touch you." she looks at his cross. "That cross."

"A Red Knight, just like you, me, and Kyoshiro."

"Red Knight." she looks at him and watch him smile and feels him let go.

"Take a day sleep and you will get mostly everything your mind has to offer." he backs up, gets out, quickly takes his clothes, and laughs off into th fog. "Farewell, little sister Yuya."

"No, don't go!" she yells after him, going to the edge of the hot spring.

"Yuya," she hears Okuni behind her and she turns takes a deep breath. "I heard a man's voice. Was you with a man?"

"N-No, not really."

"Oh, you naughty girl!" Okuni giggles and Yuya blushes. "You've been gone for too long, so I was sent to look for you. We are going to get going soon."

"Fine." she lifts herself up and sits on the grass. "I'm coming."

****Back to Camp***

Yuya follows Okuni to the camp with the others waiting and pack up to ready to go. She starts to hear questions from her friend, but nothing each her. Kyo even walks up to her and she completely walks pass them as if he wasn't there. He reaches her and she dodges him without knowing it.

"You look like you've seen a ghost." Bontenmaru takes her by the shoulder then picks her up into a brydal style position. "Up you go."

"Bon-Bontenmaru-san, what are you doing?" Benitora ask.

Yuya looks up at him felt comfortable and at the same time it felt familiar to be with him.
