Chapter 1: Spirit of the Dead
Kyra's P.O.V
Hiei and I were walking around the mall, shopping randomly. Well at least I was. He just followed, carrying my bags. Hiei and the rest have been living with me ever since I invited them for Kitarra's sake. Everyone except Kurama and little Cosette. They left a week after Kitarra's funeral.
I still remember that day.
Flashback
It was an outside funeral. Everyone gathered around the casket as the minister said a few words. After that it was time to view the body one last time. As everyone got in line, I saw Kurama in the far distances. I motion my hand for him to get in line. He did, but wanted to be the very last to see her. I didn't want to push him any further. At least he came. That would make Kitarra's spirit happy.
The viewing contained this order: Me, Hiei, Yukina, Yusuke, Keiko, Botan, Fuyu, Kuwabara, Kaoto, and last Kurama with a baby in hand.
Everyone said their respects for Kitarra. Now it was Kurama's turn. I had a feeling that once he saw her he might break down. So I took the baby out his arms just in case. He didn't argue.
You could tell it was a girl by looking at her. She had short, black messy hair. I couldn't see her eyes they were closed. Her face looked like her mother, too.
Well just as I suspected. As soon as Kurama saw her he broke down, to the point where he couldn't stand anymore. He was crying like there was no tomorrow. His cries were louder then anyone there. I wanted to cry for him. If I had lost someone I care and loved the way he loved my beloved sister, I don't know what I would do.
Yusuke and Kuwabara went over to Kurama. I thought they were going to help him up, but instead they were dragging him away. My eyes widen in disbelief. How could they do such a thing? Watching them drag him away from his lover, the mother of his child, my beloved sister; it made me sick. His cries got even louder, screaming her name as if she was going to respond. I couldn't take it anymore. "What are you doing?" I yelled. Yusuke and Kuwabara stopped dragging him to hear what I had to say. Kurama even slowed his loud cries to hear me too. "Why are you doing this to him? He just lost someone he held close in his heart. How would you feel if you lost someone you loved and people, who you thought were your friends, drag you away from that person? How would you feel?" They understood where I was getting at and let Kurama go. It began to rain. Like the heavens were crying for him as well. Yusuke and the rest closed the casket and putted her away. I walked over to where Kurama kneeled and I kneeled in front of him. We lean over each other as shelter for the infant. "What's her name?" I asked him
He hesitated for a while and then answered. "…Cosette. Her name is Cosette."
End of Flashback
Hiei and I were sitting at the food court in the mall. We both were distant from the world. "Thinking about her too?" I asked him. He nodded. "Have you seen or heard from Kurama?" He shook his head 'no'. Making convo' with Hiei was as boring as talking to my dead granny…and I should know…I tried. We went off into space again. Before I was completely there, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to see the culprit. "Kurama" Well speak of the devil. "How have you been?"
"I've been good." He smiled a warm smile. "Hehasn'tchangedabit."
"Where is my cute and adorable niece?"
"I thought she was with you. She was first to see you and ran straight here." Me and Kurama looked around for her, but no luck. "Wherecouldshebe?" Kurama and I were deep in thought of her whereabouts. Soon I felt someone grab my leg causing me to jump. "Cosette, get from under that table this instant."He spoke through his teeth. "Wow.Kuramasoundlikea …parent."
Cosette crawled from under the table and stood in front of me. "My name is Cosette and I'm five years old!" she said, holding up five fingers. She looked just as I imaged her with her messy black hair like her father's, and her emerald eyes. She was so beautiful, I couldn't help, but and pick her up and spin her around.
"Looks like little Cosette is having fun." A strange voice said. I stopped spinning to look at Kurama or more like who was next to him. I saw this tall tanned woman. She had long brown hair, and blue eyes. She was wearing a mini red tank top and a brown mini skirt with cowgirl boots. "Whothehellisthis?" I heard Hiei chuckle behind me.
I looked at Kurama for an explanation. "Oh umm. Kyra this is Brittney, my fiancée. "HisWhat?" Hiei laughed a little more. Boy did I want to slap a midget right there and then.
"Oh. So you're marrying my brother-in-law."
"Umm. I'm not you brother-in –law. Kitarra and I never got married." Kurama explained.
"Well that didn't stop you from having a child together, so that makes you my brother-in-law." Hiei laughed even more. "What is so damn funny?" I said to the midget.
"(Chuckle) He's related to your insanity." Hiei looked like he was trying so hard not to laugh out loud and draw attention to us.
"Well at least he doesn't have to live with my insanity." That shut him up. I turned back to Kurama and his fiancé. "Well it was nice meeting you, but we have to go. Sorry, bye." I grabbed Hiei and walked away.
Cosette's P.O.V
Daddy, Brittney, and me went home. I wanted to stay with Auntie Kyra, but I knew Daddy wouldn't let me. We got home at night time and Daddy tucked me in and read me a story. It was about a princess who was locked up in a really tall tower and the only way out was the window. So the princess just jumped out the window falling to her feet. She finds the culprit that locked her up and beat him till blood was oozing out of every hold in his body. Even the one she created. Daddy always said I was like my mommy in every way. I pretend to fall asleep, so Daddy could leave. Once he did I got out the bed. I looked under it and pulled out my guitar. It was black with death sticker all over it. I call it my lucky guitar.
I played a cord and began to sing a song for my mommy. It was a short song.
I wasn't big on writing a whole song. Not just yet. I put the guitar back under my bed and pulled out a really big book. It's a spell book my mommy left behind for me. Daddy doesn't know that I have it and I would like to keep it that way. If he found out, I would be in big poop, poop.
I turned off my room light and lit a candle. I opened the book and look up a spell…to rise the dead. I was sick of knowing that I was the one who killed my mommy. So now I'll bring her back.
I found what I was looking for. I closed my eyes and recited the spell. "Spirits of the dead hear my calling. Bring back the one I've been longing. With night time hair and eyes blood luster. Bring back the one I call my Mother." I opened my eyes,…but there was nothing there. It's didn't work. I was tempted to try again, but I heard Daddy walk to my room door. I quickly blew out the candle and got into bed. I heard the door open. He said my name, but I wasn't dumb enough to answer. I just laid there until I really fell asleep.
? P.O.V
I laid there lifeless. Then my eyes shot open. I stared into darkness. I pushed on something that was in front of me. What ever it was, it opened, reviling the moonlit sky. I crawled out of this hole I was in. I knew exactly where I was. I was in my grave. Five years I've been in that hell hole and now…I'm going out. I will have my revenge. Kurama will pay for what he did.
Shuichi's P.O.V
I laid in the bed with Brittney at my side. I heard a knock on the front door. I opened my eyes. I really want to get up. I just wanted to ignore it and fall right back to sleep, but the knocks turn into banging. I got out of bed slowly trying not to wake up Brittney. I walked down stairs, half asleep. The knocks continued. I opened the door and saw Kyra. "Kyra what are you doing here at," I looked at my watch. "11:30 at night."
"Oh Kurama, I saw how Cosette was so upset that she didn't get to spend time with me so I just thought I should have a little fun with her, like a sleepover."
"A sleepover? Kyra, you don't have any bags wi-"
"Yes I do." She interrupted me. She snapped her fingers and duffle bag appear on the side of her.
"I forgot you could do that." I said half asleep. "Cosette is asleep and I don't want to-"
"No she's not. Cosette! Your Auntie Kyra is here!" She yelled for Cosette also leaving a ringing in my ear. I think she did that on purpose.
After a while we hear Cosette running down the stairs screaming Auntie Kyra on her way down. Cosette was so excited that she missed the last step and fell to the floor. My heart dropped and I ran to her side. "Are you ok, sweetheart?" I asked. I helped her up, but she just brushed me off and ran to Kyra. I wasn't upset. I was a little happy that she loved Kyra the way she did and I'm surprise that she even know her. She was only an infant when Kyra saw her, but all and all I was happy to see Cosette happy. Cosette dragged Kyra up the stairs, so excited about showing Kyra her room. I walked in the kitchen to get and glass of water. I heard thunder. "Good thing Kyra is here." I went to the cupboard to get a glass. I went to the sink and put water in it. Another crash of thunder, but this time the lights went out. It was a great thing that Kyra was here. Cosette would have be too scared to fall asleep.
I turn around to head up to my room, but something caught my attention. I wasn't sure what it was. I had squint my eyes a little, then lighting flash reviling the most frightening thing ever to walk the face of the earth. The person I thought I'll never see again, with blood lust in her eyes. Kitarra. I dropped the glass of water and it broke against the floor. The lighting flashed again, but this time…she wasn't there.
"Umm Kurama I know that it's storming outside and all, but c'mon. Can you at least be a man about it?" I heard Kyra say."Huh?" I looked down and the water had spilled on my pants.
"Heh heh, Daddy went potty." Cosette laughed I couldn't help, but laugh too. She was so adorable, but what I saw was not.
"Cosette was scared and wanted you, but I see you were occupied."
"Water, Kyra, water."
"Hey I know. It happens. Drink too much water, what do you expect?" I gave her a dirty look. "Let me stop messin with you before you chop my head off."
Kyra grabbed Cosette's hand and was ready to walk back upstairs. "Kyra wait. I need to talk to you about something. Cosette, sweetheart can you go upstairs for Daddy please. Grownups need to talk."
Cosette gave me that 'Are you serious? You want me to walk up there by myself?' look. She hesitated for a while and then quickly ran upstairs. "Ok what is it?" Kyra asked.
"I saw her." I said in a shaky voice.
"You saw who?" She asked not knowing what or who I was talking about.
"Kitarra. She was standing right there, by the door." I pointed to the kitchen door.
Kyra looked at me disbelief. "Kitarra? You saw Kitarra? Man you're whacked."
"My serious!"
"Kurama she wasn't here, ok. You're just imaging things. So, just get some rest." I nodded. "MaybeIamimagingthings,butshelookedsorealand…dead." I went up to my room to get some rest.
Kyra's P.O.V
I sent Kurama to bed. I walked up stairs thinking about it. I kinda laughed, I mean who would bring Kitarra back from the dead. Who knowshow to bring her back, but me and I know I didn't do it. I walked in Cosette and close the down behind me. I turned around and, "Oh my Jesus!" I saw her. Kitarra. Sitting on the bed with Cosette. She looked like herself, but only that skin was a dirty gray color, and you could see her bones and rips where her body was decaying, and she gave off a dirt smell.
"Oh my…Jesus?" She chuckled and fell to the floor laughing.
"That's not funny at all Kitarra!"
"Oh it is, seeing that through my dead cold blood lusting eyes that he doesn't existed. Why you ask?" I really didn't ask why. "because the fact that I'm dead and my daught think that's she's the cause of it and the man that I love is in the bed with a another WOMAN!"
"Ok, ok. How that hell you got here? You're supposed to be dead."
She caught her breath first…if she had any. "My darling, Cosette brought me back." She petted Cosette's hair. She looked like if she could cry, she would. "She's so beautiful. I've lost five years of raising her and I'm not letting that continue."
How the hell am I going to explain this to the others? No, they're not going to know about this. This is not supposed to be happening.
Thanx for reading! I hoped you enjoyed it. I'll try my best to make it scary.
