Quest Of A Wolf's Heart
Ch 2. A Sudden Appearance and a Change of Plans
Alright I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho, Wolf's Rain or W.I.T.C.H. Only Flame and Kiko are mine, anyway onward.
Flame's View
"Okay who the hell are you people and how the hell do you know us?" she yelled getting more ticked from the staring.
"Well first off I'm Koenma the ruler of spirit world," replied Koenma surprisingly calm.
"The ruler of spirit world is a toddler," she said smirking as Koenma got red in the face.
"I'm not a toddler damn it and I demand respect!" Koenma yelled turning into his teenager form. "Impressed," Koenma said mistaking her quietness for imprested.
"Not really, all you did was grow a couple of inches. The only reason you changed is because you were being made fun of therefore your little growth spurt doesn't prove a thing except your own immaturity," she said calmly as Koenma looked he was gonna explode.
"Sir calm down remember your blood pressure," said a blue ogre putting his hand on Koenma's shoulder.
"You're right ogre; well anyway these boys are spirit detectives, which means they go on missions to protect the Earth. They also enter tournaments," Koenma explained trying to calm down.
"What the hell does that have to do with us?" Kiba yelled in anger as the others looked at Koenma questionly, while Tsume glared and she death glared.
"Well I have been watching you and I want all of you to join team Urameshi," Koenma explained.
Something's not right he barely knows us and wants to join his team. Then again Yusuke asked why he asked them to get us, so perhaps he's been watching us somehow. How though I would have synced a spy. "What would we profit from this?" she asked deciding to play along for now.
"Well I know you are all looking for paradise. If you work for me I will help you find it. Also I will help you, Flame, find these five girls," Koenma stated.
"How the hell do you know what I'm looking for I sure as hell haven't told you? She demanded clenching her fists.
"As the ruler of spirit I have a way of watching things," Koenma said.
"Meaning he uses his workers to record random things," Hiei said not even opening his eyes.
"That's not important right now, if you guys help I will help you wolves find Cheza as well," Koenma finished smiling as if he'd just dealt the winning hand of a card game.
Hmm this Cheza must be something special for Kiba to tense just hearing her name. How can I trust him for all I know he could just be using us and just betray us? They always do, well I'll just keep an eye on him and if he tries anything I'll just have to intervene she thought. "Well I will join," she said after a long silence as Toboe, Hige, Kiba, and Tsume stared at her with disbelief.
"Why you don't even know our answer yet?" Toboe asked sounding shocked, scared and worried at the same time.
"I will join because Will, Irma, Hay Lin, Taranee, and Cornelia, mean everything to me. I've been searching for months with no clues, so I'll give this a try. However if I find out you're just leading us on I'll personally be the one to slit your throat," she coldly making everyone except Kurama and Hiei cringe.
"Well if Flame's in I'm in," Toboe stated stepping beside her smiling happily after a long silence.
"Me too," Hige said also stepping beside her.
"Can you really help us find Cheza?" Kiba asked skeptically.
"I'll do my best," Koenma stated.
"Then I'm in," Kiba stated as Tsume just nodded to show he was in.
"Good then rest up, your training will start tomorrow. The boys will show you to your rooms. Two of you will have to room together," Koenma said as he left with the blue ogre trailing behind him.
"Who should room together?" Hige asked as he and the boys did a wolf huddle.
"I think that Kiba and Tsume should share a room," she said reading their minds learning that Kiba and Tsume wanted to discus something in privet.
"Works for me," Hige said as they walked up to the boys as Kurama stepped forward.
"I'm Kurama, I'm glad you guys joined. What are your names?" he said smiling politely.
"I'm Kohaku, but I go by Flame. This is Toboe, Hige, Kiba and Tsume," she said relaxing a bit slightly returning his smile.
"I'm Yusuke Urameshi the team captain and this is Hiei," said the guy with black slicked hair.
"I'm Kazuma Kuwabara. Would you like to go out with me?" asked the ugly red-orange haired dude trying to hug her.
She jumped over him and kicked him in the back sending him into the wall. "Is that a good enough answer for ya," she said sarcastically as the others laughed except Hiei who chuckled and Kurama who was biting his thumb to keep from laughing. Then the boys showed them to their rooms with Hiei showing Kiba and Tsume, Yusuke showing Toboe and Kuwabara showing Hige.
"Well I guess I'll show you to your room, you must be tired," Kurama said as he went down the hall. "Flame close your eyes and picture what you want the room to look like," Kurama told her politely as the stopped outside a room.
What's he up to she thought slightly raising her guard as she closed her eyes and pictured her dream room.
"You can open your eyes," Kurama said as he opened the door.
She was to amazed to say anything. The room was exactly as she had pictured with trees everywhere and a small river running next to a giant Japanese Cherry Blossom tree in the middle of the room. She put her hand on the floor feeling the grass that was there instead of a normal floor. She looked around and saw a desk with a computer, a dresser, and two bookcases and rose bushes everywhere.
"Thank you," she said as she hugging Kurama for a brew second on impulse. "I'm sorry," she said. Why the hell did I do that its not like this is a big deal or something she thought.
"It's okay Flame, but I don't think it worked completely; there's no bed," Kurama said looking around.
"No it worked perfectly," she said pointing to a red pillow and red sheets on the middle of the Cherry Blossom tree; which was big enough for a person to sleep on. "You see I prefer to sleep in trees than sleep in a bed," she said with a slight laugh in her voice.
"Good well, I'll let you go to bed. My room's right across from yours if you need anything," he said as he left.
Kurama's View
He had just left Flame in her room and had gone into his room and plopped down on his bed. Why did I blush, I only just met her he thought staring at the ceiling. She's a very nice person though also she looked like….No it couldn't be her he thought turning over going to sleep.
Flame's View
Was he blushing she thought to herself as she watched him leave. He seems different most people are disgusted by me, guess I'll wait and see just how different he really is she thought as she changed into a pair of red silk pajamas. Cool it even has some insince she thought as she looked at the different kinds. I think I'll go with Cinnamon she thought as she lit it and set it on the special plate hanging from the ceiling specifically made for burning insince. Will you'd better not die on me she thought as she went to sleep.
She turned off her alarm clock that said 5:00 AM. Alright time to train she thought as she put on her red shirt and a red skort over her white backless undershirt and white shorts that she wore under everything. I think I'll practice my ninja stars today, my skills with them could use some work she thought as she tied her pink sash around your waist and tied her magic whip to her hip. She grabbed her portable c.d player and two c.ds and left. Damn this place is big she thought trying to find the training grounds. "Do you know where the training grounds are?" she asked a girl with long blue hair up in a ponytail.
"Why of course I do silly, its out this door and down the path through the woods," she said very perky.
"Thanks, um just curious but who are you?" she asked noticing the girl was in a pink kimono.
"I'm Botan and I'm the grim reaper. You must be Flame. I'm so glad to finally have a girl on the team. You'll have to show the boys that girls can kick ass just as good as anyone else," she said happily; her pink eyes shinning with enthusiasm.
"See ya Botan," she said leaving slightly sweat dropping at her peppiness. When she eventually got to the training grounds she turned on the player. It played Tell Me Why by Jump Five as she pulled out her ninja stars and began practicing. "Show yourself," she commanded coldly catching the scent of someone after three hours of practicing and warming up. "What're you doing here?" she asked not as cold as before but still cold when she saw Kurama.
"I woke up and after hearing some noises I followed them," he replied.
"Sorry I woke you," she said pulling her ninja stars out of the tree.
"Its all right I was already up, would you mind if I practice with you?" he asked.
"Sure," she replied happy to have the company although she'd never admit it. She took a fighting stance as he walked to opposite side of the field and pulled out his rose whip as the song changed to Upside Down by ATeens. She did a back flip and gracefully dodged as Kurama tried to hit her with his rosewhip. She pulled out Tetensusaiga, her whip, and they both slashed at each other. This is going nowhere, we've been doing this for about an hour. Time for a new strategy she thought using her whip to block his. She began to slash forward but at the last second she darted forward and hit him in the stomach and jumped away. Damn he has great reflexes she thought as his whip grazed her side. "Strike Laser Claw," she yelled running forward as her claws started to glow yellow. As she stroke at him he dodged most of her attack, but she still got him across the stomach. I've got him now she thought trying to hit him with her whip at the same moment he tried to hit her with his rosewhip causing the whips to wrap around them and making them stuck against each other as the c.d player turned off. Damn it I shouldn't have let my guard down she thought as they tried to get out causing them fall over with Kurama landing on top of her causing them to accidentally kiss.
"I guess it's a tie," Kurama said blushing as they both got untangled.
"Yeah," she said turning her head away as her cheeks turned a faint shade of pink. What in hell fire she thought as there was a flash of light and she saw two girls about her age appear out of thin air.
Will's View
"We're in a woods, but at least we got away," she said, her short red hair swaying as she landed on her feet and dusting off her purple shirt with long flowing sleeves and short blue skirt with part of the skirt comes up her sides a little.
"Ooof," said a girl with short brown hair up in pigtails as she landed on her butt.
"Are you alright Irma," she asked her brown eyes full of concern.
"Yeah I'm fine," Irma replied her aqua blue eyes winced slight as she got up and dusted off her somewhat tight aqua green long-sleeved shirt and short purple skirt that split at the sides. "You're not one to talk though," Irma said her looking at her friends ripped light blue and light green stripped stockings that went all the way up her legs and her scuffed purple boots.
"Yeah well back at ya," she said pointing at her friends stockings that were just like hers and her scuffed purple boots slightly smaller than hers. "Come on let's go," she said as they took off into the woods.
Flame's View
"Will, Irma," she yelled as she and Kurama ran after them.
"Are those the girls Koenma said you were looking for?" Kurama asked as he ran.
She just ignored him and ran faster gaining on the girls.
"Light Sphere," Will said shooting a beam of light at them as Irma tripped on a tree root.
"Mirror Force" she said as a shield of orange-yellow light protected her and Kurama. "Will, Irma it's me Flame," she said hoping they wouldn't continue to fight, since she had no desire to hurt her friends.
"I never thought I'd see anyone again," they both said at the same time as they ran up an hugged her. "What are you doing here?" Will asked.
"and who's the cute guy your with," Irma added smiling as Kurama and Flame blushed slightly.
"He's just a friend and his name's Kurama," she stated annoyed as she stopped blushing. "Well obviously we all have some explaining to do so maybe you guys should change back," she said as they both nodded. She watched as a pink light surrounded Will and a blue light surrounded Irma and as the wind picked up. She noticed that as the light began to disappear she saw then look younger about 14. Then wind was making Will's orange long-sleeved turtle neck and gray unzipped jacket and Irma's pinkish peaches short sleeved shirt, pink unzipped jacket and pink flower necklace move a little. "You guys should sit down you're both tired and have been through a lot," she said sitting down on a rock.
"How do you know that," Irma asked as she and Will sat down.
"I know your tired because in your other forms both of your small green wings were sagging slightly. Also Will's jeans have dirt on them as do your blue jeans, Irma, and Will's brown shoes are scuffed and so are Irma's pink shoes," she explained closing her eyes and leaned against the rock..
"So this Koenma person says he will help us find the others," Will asked after Flame had explained about how she and the boys had joined team Urameshi and she and Irma had explained how they had snuck away from the guards and bumped into each other and made a portal to escape.
"Yes, or so he says," she said still not trusting him completely as her experience had taught her to do.
"So, how many of you are there?" Kurama asked curios as to how many girls they had to find, since Flame had explained her past with Will and Irma.
"Well there are six of us, Will, Irma, Hay Lin, Taranee, Cornelia, and me," she replied.
"We should head back to Koenma I get the feeling we will have to take action instead of training like we were suppose to," Kurama said as he got up and walked back to the field as the girls followed.
"Well Toboe sounds cute," Irma said as Flame described him while they walked a good bit behind Kurama.
Hmm interesting she hasn't met him and already she thinks of him the same way she did then. "You'll just have to see for yourself won't you," she said smirking.
"She's got ya there Irma," Will said teasingly.
"Well either way you have quit a catch there," Irma said with a huge smile.
"What do you mean?" both she and Will asked curiously.
"Kurama, I think he likes you and you like him," Irma said smirking.
"Irma," she said as she pushed her careful not to do it to hard though.
