LHL- Ok, I think my editor is annoyed with all the errors I type. Sorry Kaye, but thanks for helping me fix them. If it wasn't for you… well… I don't know what would happen to my writing.
Hiei- LHL doesn't own you, me, or YYH.
LHL- Wow, thank you Hiei. That was really nice of you to do that without me asking.
Hiei- I'm just trying to get you to stop talking and get on with the story.
LHL- (Sighs) Fine. On to the chapter.
" "-talking.
' '-thinking and now it's also telepathy (very obvious which it is).
Hiei put Younme down softly on her room and watched from the bench beside the window as Younme walked into the bathroom. She rinsed off the wound and cringed, as the water made it the pain worse. She then came back into her room with some bandages. She sat on her bed and began to wrap them around her arm. She struggled with the pain, but tried not to show it, so Hiei wouldn't see her pain.
"Koenma told me that I wasn't supposed to tell you this, but it looks like I have no other choice now." Hiei began to say as he walked over to her and re-bandaged her arm. As he finished he struggled to say something.
"If Koenma said you can't tell me, then maybe he has a reason." Younme said quietly as Hiei stared at her arm.
"The demons that keep attacking you are all wolf demons from the same pack. The new leader is Kouren…" Hiei said as she watched him and saw that he sadden as he said the demon's name. "He knew a half wolf demon named Kira. Kira was also the first detective for spirit world."
Younme's eyes widened, 'He knew the girl from my dreams? She was a spirit detective?'
"Koenma told me not to tell you about her, but it looks like she already planed for this. Kouren wants you, but he can't have you." Hiei said, almost growling the end and looked at her, with a look that she had not seen before. As she looked at him, her head began to hurt and she quickly turned away from him, trying to suppress the pain.
Before she knew what happened, Hiei wrapped his arms around her, and held her tightly to him. Younme's cheeks turned pink as Hiei whispered, "I won't let him have you." As soon as he said it, he let her go, and jumped out the window into the tree.
Younme sat on her bed, confusion written across her face as she tried to figure out what had just happened. 'He just hugged me. He doesn't even know me, and I'm sure he's not the type to move this quickly. Why do I feel like there is more to all of this then he's telling me?' She thought as she lay down on her bed and immediately fell into the darkness of sleep.
She was floating above a field in the middle of the forest. She watched as out of the forest, Kira and the other girl from before, ran into the clearing. The same bird on Kira's shoulder flew over to a tree out of the way. Kira was holding a katana, which liquefied in her hands and grew into a very large sword. The other girl formed a large violet, almost white, energy bow and readied to fire an arrow of the same energy.
'It's her again. What's going on this time?' Younme thought as she watched the girls readying to fight. Suddenly a bush on the edge of the forest moved a bit. The other girl quickly turned and fired an arrow at it and two flashes shot out of the bush, past the two girls.
"What kind of a welcome is that?" A voice snarled from behind the girls. Younme watched as the two girls turned to see two male wolf demons standing behind them. They both had black wolf ears, thick black tails, sharp fangs and claws. One was average height with short, spiky gold hair, bright orange eyes, and an orange ear cuff on his right ear. He was wearing a black shirt with an unzipped orange vest, loose black pants, and orange, lace up, ankle high, boots over the bottom of the pants. The other was tall, with cobalt blue hair, that hung all the way down his back, deep gold eyes, and a light blue ear cuff on his right ear. He was wearing baggy light blue shirt that hung over his navy blue pants, and the same lace up boots as the other guy, but his were light blue.
As Younme looked at the demon with long cobalt blue hair, she recognized who he was. 'Hey, he looks like that Kou guy from school!'
The other girl blinked in confusion. "Naru? Kouren? So it was you two jerks she sent to kill us?"
'Kouren?!' Younme thought as she looked at the demon.
"Of course not. We just came to see you my little doggy." The boy with short gold hair said as he appeared behind the girl, rapped his arms around her waist, and kissed her cheek.
She quickly punched him in the chin, sending him flying backwards. "Naru! Stop calling me that! Stop touching me! Stop kissing me! Just stop coming near me!" She barked at him as he sat in the grass, rubbed his chin.
'Enough of this nonsense, why are you really here?' Kira said while glairing at Kouren as she rested the large blade over her shoulder.
"We are here to worn you that she knows where you are hiding. She sent two others to bring you to her." Kouren said coolly.
'Why is he helping them? I thought he was the leader of the demons that wanted to capture her.' Younme thought knowing that something just didn't add up.
'So the new detective and his friend went after the other two. They must be planning something if they know where we are but led the detective to them.' Kira told the other girl, who nodded.
"Well we would have figured that out anyway so why are you two really here?" The girl growled at Naru and Kouren.
"We decided to take you away with us to somewhere where she'll never find us again." Naru said as he wrapped his arms around the girl again, but this time he didn't let her go.
"Let go Naru!" The girl yelled as she struggled against his grip. She jabbed her heel into his foot and he winced a bit, but still didn't release her.
Suddenly Hiei and a tall boy with long, blood red hair, bright emerald eyes, and was wearing a pink school uniform, ran out of the forest and into the clearing. 'Kurama's here too?!' Younme gasped as she watched Kouren held his hand out in front of him, pointed toward Hiei and Kurama, and fired a large blast of black and green energy at them.
Younme's eyes widened as she watched the blast head toward them. 'No!!!' She tried to get to them, but could only watch as the blast flew straight toward them. Before it hit she saw Kira appear between them and the energy. Holding her large blade up as a shied, she diverted the energy blast.
'Stop it Kouren!' Kira growled as she tried to hold the energy blast back. But the blade tipped to the side and part of the blast hit her arm and leaving a large bloody gash down her entire left arm. As her black sleeve hung off her arm, it revealed a thick golden shackle around her wrist.Kouren saw it and stopped his attack. Kira dropped her blade as she grasped her blood covered arm tightly, trying to stop some of the bleeding.
'That shackle!' Younme's eyes widened as she looked at the shackle.
Kouren's nose twitched as Kurama pulled out a rose and it formed into a whip. Kouren lifted his arm and Kurama's rose whip rapped around it, holding him still. Hiei then lunged at Kouren and tried to cut his head off, but his katana shattered as it hit his neck. Kouren then tugged on Kurama's whip, braking it easily and let it fall from his arm.
"What?!" Hiei and Kurama said together as they jumped back in front of Kira. As the other girl finally got away from Naru, she fired five arrows simultaneously at him, and he easily dodged all of them. Naru pulled out a mace of black and silver energy and swung it into the ground where she was standing, but she jumped in time to avoid being hit.
Kouren fired a small energy blast toward Hiei and Kurama, but they dodged the energy and it flew toward Kira. She used her good arm to back flip out of the way, and as she landed, blood shot out of her arm and she grasped her arm tighter. She ran back to where she had been standing before and grabbed her sword off the ground. It instantly liquefied into a sickle and she threw it toward Kouren. The force of the throw caused more blood to squirt from her arm and she cringed in pain. It just barely skimmed his cheek, leavening a small bloody cut. He rubbed his thumb along the cut, removing most of the blood, and then licked the blood from it.
The other girl quickly ran in front of Kira and pulled a sutra from her kimono sleeve. She held it out in front of her and began to chant lowly. Kouren nodded at Naru and the two jumped back to the edge of the clearing just as she threw the sutra at where they had been standing. "Looks like we will have to come back for you again. Till then, try to stay alive." Kouren said coolly as he looked over at Kira and then took off into the forest.
"See you soon my little doggy." Naru waved then took off after Kouren.
"Don't call me that," The other girl growled under her breath as she approached Kira, who had begun to breath heavily. She collapsed on the blood soaked ground. "Kira!" The girl cried and then everything went dark again, and Younme opened her eyes to see she was in her room again.
She sat up and looked around. It was still dark out. 'What a weird dream. Kira was really cool though. She protected Hiei and Kurama. So she did know Hiei. I don't get any of this.' With that she got up and walked into the bathroom.
After a shower she changed into a long sleeved red top, with a black tank over it, black baggy pants, a short red skirt over them, and her usual red boots under hidden under her pants. She picked up the chain necklace and key that was still laying next to her bed, placed it around her neck, and tucked it under her shirt. She pulled her hands away from the chain and noticed her arm didn't hurt. As she looked at her arm, an image of Kira's blood covered arm appeared in her mind.
She ran into the other room, pulled one of the chairs over to the large book shelf, and used it to reach the top self and pull down a small wooden box. She lifted the top and pulled out something wrapped in a crimson cloth and tightly tied with a golden ribbon. Younme looked at a clock on the close wall and quickly stuffed the object in her bag and walked out the door.
She was so lost in thought about the dream that she didn't even notice when Hiei landed next to her. He felt a tremendous power surge from Younme and was going to read her mind, but was distracted when Younme's friend showed up. He watched as the other girl started to ask Younme what was wrong with her, when something in his pocket started glowing, and he quickly pulled it out. It was the golden shackle he held before, except that now it was glowing. He quickly looked over at Younme and saw that something in her bag was glowing as well. 'So she still had it when she was reborn. Without realizing it, she's filling it with energy again. Looks like I'll have to take her to Koenma after all.' He thought as he jumped from tree to tree, following Younme as she went to school.
At lunch, Miru watched the game and Younme looked like she was watching the game, but was actually lost in thought. Miru was wearing a light green tank top, over a bright blue three-quarter sleeved shirt, tight green wrist bands around both of her wrists, a short blue green pleated skirt, blue socks that went halfway up her thighs, and her lace up, just below the knee, green boots.
"Hey Younme, have you seen Risa? She wasn't in class earlier." Miru asked and Younme froze. "She's never missed a day of school, but then again, we have only known her for a little less then a year. I wonder if she's okay."
Younme looked at the floor. 'How do I tell Miru about Risa? "Yeah, she turned into a wolf demon and tried to kill me, but was stopped by an anime character, from another dimension." Yeah like she'd believe that.' She sighed to herself and Miru turned to her.
"What's wrong Younme? You don't look like yourself today. Are you sick? If you are, you should have stayed…"
"I'm not sick." She interrupted. "It's just that things are a bit… out of control right now. I'm trying to connect dots that I can't see."
"Wow, that sounds hard. Can I help?" Miru asked as the bell rang. "Let's walk home after school together, okay? You can tell me what's going on then. Later." Miru called as she ran off to class.
'Yeah, but would you just think that I'm insane.' Younme sighed to herself and walked over to the trash. She didn't even look at Hiei, who was sitting in the tree. She was too confused to even think clearly.
As she walked out to the front of the school, after school, she spotted Kou talking to Miru. She stepped backwards, 'No. Miru, you aren't one of them, are you?' Younme quickly turned and ran to the back of the school. She easily hoped the fence, not even noticing that she just leapt over a fence she could hardly climb before. Then she ran down the back street and headed to the park.
She ran through the park till she couldn't run any farther. She leaned against the nearest tree, trying to catch her breath, and she slid down to the floor. She noticed a flash of light from her bag and pulled out the glowing object. She untied the golden ribbon and pulled the crimson cloth off of a glowing golden shackle. She looked at it for a minute and it shot around her wrist. The shackle shrank to fit her wrist and Younme was unable to move it.
Then she felt it. The shackle began to suck in her energy at an alarming rate. The shackle shot a dark purple energy out of it and she collapsed at the foot of the tree.
Hiei landed beside her. He looked down at her as the other shackle, shot from his hand, to around Younme's other wrist. More energy shot from both shackles and gathered into a large portal beside them. Hiei smirked at the portal, picked up Younme, and walked into it.
LHL- That was a long chapter.
Hiei- What runs through your mind when you write this stuff.
LHL- Lots of things. Mostly boredom though.
Hiei- Hn, no surprise there.
LHL- Please review.
