Yu Yu Hakasho, Angel (belongs to Angel Bat), and Lita (belongs to Lita Kitsune) do not belong to me. I only own Raye and the plot (You can debate over the plot being mine if you want, for all I know this has been done way too many times and no longer counts as original).
Recap: All of the girls fled, a few of the ones who had been blocking Kurama's view picking up their leader as they ran. Kurama stared at the girl standing before him. Her brown hair was tied back in a loose ponytail, and her green studied Kurama with the same look he was giving her.
Do I know you?
Kurama broke the silence.
"Thank you for saving me…My name is Suhichi, but my good friends call me Kurama." He wished that last part hadn't slipped out, now there was going to be questions. At least, that's what he thought.
"My name is Cathryn, but please, call me Lita." She was giving him a questioning look for the earlier comment, but Lita had decided to ask later. Kurama was about to say something else, but Lita's swear interrupted him before he could speak.
"I need to go Kurama! Bye!" Lita yelled, after looking at her watch, and she dashed off.
"Bye Lita!" Kurama yelled, and his tone surprised him. The tone of his voice suggested that it was his girlfriend, maybe even his mate, running away from him instead of some random girl. He realized later, as he walked home, that they been close enough to kiss. Instead of blushing when she left, Lita looked almost disappointed. Disappointed that she didn't get kissed.
What is wrong with me? I almost…and I wanted to-Gah! Lita's thoughts jumbled around, and her concentration was zero.
"Lita, what's wrong? I just ask her why she's late…" Angel said playing with her dyed black hair, twirling the blue tips.
"Love at first sight." Raye, a girl with dark brown hair and eyes, stated Lita's thoughts causally, "And a bishounen in your opinion? Wow. Your thoughts are so messed up it might bring back memories…" She had mumbled the last sentence, but Lita and Angel had heard anyways.
"Memories? What do you mean memories?" Angel asked, but she didn't do her usual 'puppy dog eyes'. Raye would just laugh instead of giving in to the cuteness.
"You dreams of things so familiar, yet so strange. So new, yet so old. Dreams of things forgotten, or of things we wish to forget." Raye tried to say in mystical voice, but the effect was ruined by the huge smile spreading across her face. Lita glared at Raye.
"Stop reading my mind, and stop making riddles!" Lita growled.
Angel's eyes widened a little as she tried to calm Lita down. "Kitsune, don't kill the fire apparition…" One of the last things you want to see is an enraged kitsune. (1) If Lita were in her demon form, her ears would flicker in annoyance. Sadly, she was having trouble with her previous memories, the ones with her as a full kitsune (and not confined to a human body). Although she remembered one thing, the moment she had turned away from Kurama.
Her mate's name, was Yoko Kurama.
"Alright Koenma, we're all here now. What's the mission?" Yusuke asked, hoping it would be something interesting to break the monotone of fighting weak demons. Koenma looked up from the papers he had been stamping, and even signing a few.
"Where is Kurama?" Koenma inquired, not seeing the kitsune standing with everyone else.
"I'm right here Koenma." Kurama said politely from a dark corner of the room. That particular corner was usually Hiei's spot, whom was at the other corner of the room, looking slightly annoyed. This made Koenma and the others (Boton, Yusuke, and Kuwabaka…err…Kuwabara) confused, especially since Kurama looked to be in a bad mood. Well, Pry later, Mission now.
"Your mission is to find three girls," Koenma stated, breaking the uncomfortable silence, "they are all high class demons. Here is the file we found on my desk last night."
The file wasn't from Spirit World; it was apparently from one of the people they were going to look for. The note read a little bit like a riddle:
One picture, one name, and one type. That should be enough to find three high-class demon girls, right? The picture you see, would be a picture of me, the only one who knows of this letter. I name my friend Angel, but say nothing more, because I don't want my life to end once more. The last should be easy, Kurama should know, for kitsunes tend to know each other, whether they be mate, friend, or foe. The riddle now ends, but before I forget, you have a week from Friday until we show up next.
Kurama stared blankly at the paper, then, when someone took it from his hand, he just stared off into to space. Was it that girl, Lita? But the person who wrote this said something about dying again…had they all met me in my past life? Koenma was speaking something about the picture of the girl, but Kurama didn't hear it. Thinking back, he really didn't remember a lot of his past. Sure he remembered some things, but Yoko had always said his new life had some thing missing. Something missing, that he just couldn't quite place.
"Angel, we can't practice without a keyboard player. And I get the feeling she's not coming out of her daze anytime soon." Raye looked over at Lita, who was staring off into space. Raye sneezed loudly and suddenly that it made Lita come out of her thoughts, and Angel nearly drop her guitar. Of course, there was also the fact that Raye's drumsticks, along with one ofher drums, had flown across the room. Raye didn't sniffle like she had a cold but simply stated "Someone's talking about us, and soon we shall we be stalked."
Angel and Lita both stared at Raye with a look that said "What the – are you talking about?" Raye just gestured to her shirt that said 'I don't suffer from insanity…I enjoy every minute of it!' and went to retrieve her drum from across the room.
Lita looked at Angel, "Is it me, or is Raye hiding something?"
"Why do you ask me? I'm one of the most oblivious people you know." Angel stated with a little curiosity, tilting herhead cutely. (2)
"Well whatever it is, I'm going to find out." Lita stated stubbornly as Raye approached them with her drumsticks and her ever-so-slightly-dented drum. Raye gave a strange smile that could've meant anywhere from "I know what you two were talking about" to "Like my insane smile?"
Kurama was now walking home, since the team had been dropped off at the park. He realized that he had been gone for so long, and he still hadn't checked in with his mother. He rushed home, figuring she must have been worried sick. But when Kurama walked through the door, Shiori was just serving dinner and didn't ask why he was late.
Kurama laterlay down in his bed, his thoughts wandering back to Lita. He just couldn't stop thinking of her…Why is he thinking of her anyways? He doubted they would ever meet again. And if they did, they wouldn't recognize each other. How wrong he was.
Saturday, Outside of Genkai's Temple, 4:00pm
"What do you mean, old hag? Are you saying we can't have a party because you decided to have GUESTS?" Yusuke yelled at Genkai irritably.
"That's exactly what I'm saying. I'm surprised you're being so smart today. Go do your party some where else." Genkai stated simply before turning away.
Normally Yusuke would've yelled more, but Keiko cut him off; "I think we should go see that new band, The Demon Sisters. Someone said they were really good, and they have a show at 5 O'clock."
Everyone agreed, deciding to meet each other at the outside gate so they could buy seats. When they did buy tickets, they ended up with the worst seats possible. Until they got to the security guard, to ask where their seats were.
"Tell me your names." He said with an official tone. All of them sounded off their names, and the guard asked for their tickets. "You're already reserved seats, right in the front row." The guard said with a smile, "Reserved by one of the band members themselves." Everyone just looked shocked as he led all of them to the front row, where each of their names was taped to a seat. Their tickets that they bought were refunded immediately, and the show was just about to start.
"You all have five minutes everybody! That's right, the show starts in 5 minutes!" A woman's voice boomed over the loud speaker. Angel and Lita shifted nervously, while Raye just gave a huge smile.
"Raye, aren't you EVER nervous?" Lita grumbled at Raye.
"Nope. I have a fluffy squirrel that eats all my butterflies, remember?" Raye stated, poking head with one of her drumsticks. Angel just rolled her eyes. She has a very strange best friend. There was a general roar of the crowd as the announcer said the show was going to start.
"The oldest of the Demon Sisters, Lita Kitsune!" The man announced. The crowd gave loud cries as Lita came from behind the curtain, walking up to her electric keyboard. "The middle sister, Raye Demon!" The announcer man with enthusiasm as Raye nearly ran to her drum set. "And finally, the youngest of the Demon sisters, Give it up for Angel Koumori!" The crowd's roar made it hard to here the announcer say something along the lines of 'let the show begin'.
Angel held her guitar and walked up to the microphone. She sang the song so well, you might think for a second that it was Kelly Clarkson singing her own song, Behind These Hazel Eyes.
"If you came to hear our original songs," Angel stated.
"You came to the wrong concert." Lita said with a smirk.
"This is our traditional concert is some of our favorite songs," Raye began.
"So next time, read the poster." The three of them stated simultaneously into their microphones. The crowd didn't have time to react, for they all started to sing the song Breakaway, also by Kelly Clarkson. Lita sang the next song, Since U Been Gone, and even though she sang very well, she seemed to have a different song on her mind. It wasn't until after Angel sang My Happy Ending, Raye sang Nobody's Home, and they all sang Forgotten, that it was obvious.
"Okay People, This is the last song." Angel stated into her microphone.
"So Pay Attention!" Raye nearly yelled into her own microphone, making some of the crowd jump.
"This song is called Who Knows, and it's by Avril Lavigne, like the last three songs." Lita stated, her eyes sweeping over the crowd. Then she spotted him. Kurama was right there, perfect seating to stare at her. She quelled the urge to jump on him and give him a hug.
Why do you look so familiar?
I could swear that I, have seen your face before.
I think I like that you seem sincere,
I think that I like to get, to know you a little bit more.
I think there's something more…Life's worth living for!
(Chorus)Who knows, what could happen?
Do what you do, just keep on laughing.
One thing's true, there's always a brand new day…
I'm gonna live today like it's my last day
How do you always have an opinion?
And how do you always find,
the best way to compimise?
We don't need to have a reason.
We don't need anything, we're just wasting time!
I think there's something more…Life's worth living for!
(Chorus x2)
Find yourself, 'cause I can't find you.
Be your self…Who are you?
Find yourself, 'cause I can't find you.
Be your self…Who are you?
(Chorus)
So you go, and make it happen.
Do your best, just keep on laughing.
I'm telling you, there's always a brand new day.
(Chorus)
The crowd gave a loud cheer, and people started getting out of their seats. Some were actually going home, but some planned on trying to ambush the girls. Kurama got up with his friends and they began to talk about what to do next. Once in a while he'd be asked a question, and Kurama would answer politely enough, but only Hiei seemed to notice how he really felt. Kurama felt…what was this feeling? Love? That song almost sounded like it was made just for Lita to sing to him…And she had been staring straight at him...
Lita grabbed Raye's shirt collar as soon as the three of them were out of sight from their fans. Her eyes narrowed as she spoke, "Raye, you know something. Tell me what you know. Why are you setting me up with Kurama?"
Raye just smiled at this, "So you know his name? Kayrana was right, you 2 are-"
"Who's Kayrana?" Angel interrupted suddenly. Raye just shook her head, and then her aura seemed to change a little.
"How soon we forget, Kitena. How soon we forget." Lita let go of Raye, startled, when she heard Raye's voice. She knew that voice…Angel seemed to have the same thoughts, it was obvious by the expression she had on her face. Raye just walked off to the dressing room, whistling happily. Lita and Angel walked beside each other, lost in the same thought. Raye's voice had only been slightly different, maybe just a little eviler, but Raye had done strange voices on purpose before. So why did it make something scream at them, something so far buried in the back of their head, it was almost an instinct. Yet it wasn't an instinct, it was their past. As they would soon find out…
I know, I know. Why'd you take so long! Well, I hope you'll be happy to know that at least this story has a definite plot. My other stories however…I might delete. And they may or may not be reposted.
1. As Lita would say, don't mess with kitsunes!
2. Rini always says that when Angel asks a question, and I don't know what she means. Tilting her head cutely?
For those who reviewed, YAY! Two people sent me how to spell Kurama's human name, and both of them were different spellings. So which would you guys prefer? Suiichi, Shuichi or Suhichi? I'll be spelling the last name Minamino. Review please!
