Me- GRRRRRR! I'm pissed! I got an 88 on my Asses to Learn Test for school!
Aikesu- In case you didn't notice, we're at school while typing this and well, I'M PISSED TO CUS I GOT AN 88 TOO ON THAT TEST!
Both- WE SHOULD HAVE DONE WAY, WAY, WAY BETTER THAN THAT!
Mikomi- Well, it's not as bad as my score. I got an 87 on that test.
Me- Oooo. That sucks for you, well, since we're at school and the boys aren't aloud here, Mikomi, instead of Jin, would you read the disclaimer?
Mikomi- I'd be delighted. Poor, poor Asahi and Aikesu don't own YYH, only Asahi is the one writing this story. I hope none of that confused you all.
Aikesu- Now, ON TO THE STORY!
Asahi- Thank you. You all are so kind to me. –Fake sniffles-
Mikomi and Aikesu- O.o Whatever.
Winter Blooming
CHP 4:
INFORMATION OVERLOAD
AND CRITICAL CONDITION,
OR IS IT?
Hiei traveled down the hallway to the living room with Kurama. When he arrived, the two 'idiots', or so Hiei put it, were sitting on the couch and the toddler, currently in his teenager form, was sitting in an armchair. Genkai was sitting on a meditation mat near the couch and the 'ferry girl' was standing next to Koenma's chair like a faithful dog.
"Good. You're here. Now I can begin my long rant about Ai," Koenma said sitting up a little straighter, "Ai is a telekinetic demon from the southern part of the Makai. She is sixteen in human years as I have already told you, and three-hundred-eighty-six in demon years. She is four foot eight in height. She also has a small part of fire elemental in her, courtesy her father who was three-quarters telekinetic and one-quarter fire elemental. She has slightly curly medium length light brown hair and dark grey eyes in her human form. In her demon form she has," Koenma glanced to hi sheet of paper he was holding containing Ai's information, "Uh, well, the only difference is that her hair is longer. Instead of reaching just past her shoulders, it goes to the middle of her back."
Everyone sweat dropped and Koenma gave an uneasy smile as he scratched the back of his head. He 'ahem'ed and continued.
"As you know, she is the new guardian of the Kakai barrier. Her mother used to be tha guardian, but she passed away of old age. The only way the barrier won't explode is if the guardian passes away of old age. Her mother sent her to the ningen kai until she could become of age to guard the barrier. Do you remember back when you fought Sensui?," most of the gang nodded, "Good. Because that was only about a year ago. You see, Sensui had the perfect time frame because Ai was not of age to guard the barrier and her mother had just passed away. The barrier could have easily been destroyed had you not stopped him. If the Kakai barrier is destroyed, Ai will die. If Ai dies, the Kakai barrier will be destroyed, sending hoards of demons flocking into the ningen kai. I will need you boys to train her, so that she may protect the barrier. She will need to be as ningen looking as possible. That's why, Kurama, when she has learned how to mask her energy; she will go to your school with you."
"But, she's only sixteen. She's not old enough for high school yet," Kurama said slightly confused, "And the height you have given us is correct, then she will stick out like a sore thumb."
"Yes. I know. But there is nothing else we can do. If she goes to school with Yuusuke and Kuwabara, she will be easily suspected and even if she can mask her energy, she might be kidnapped so she might attract Yuusuke so he might leak information as to where she is," Koenma explained.
"Hum. I see. Well, alright. I guess I can pass her off as my cousin or something. But she will be made fun of," Kurama said thinking of a way to get his principle to let her go to his school.
"I'm afraid to say it, but she's been made fun of her whole life. And abused by her ningen parents. She's been made fun of for her height, which I'm also afraid can't be helped, and the fact that she has many scars and cuts on her body. She can cope with it. I'm sure of it in fact. She's coped with it her whole life," Koenma said shocking all in the group but Hiei.
Genkai stood up.
"I'll go and fix us some tea," she said.
"Soda for me please," Yuusuke and Kuwabara said together, as though she were their maid.
Genkai's eye twitched.
"Get it yourself you callous morons," and with that she departed for the kitchen.
Yuusuke and Kuwabara stood up as well and walked to the kitchen. Soon after Kurama and Hiei stood up because they remembered there was only one soda left. Botan followed and Koenma left because he felt lonely. In the kitchen the two fools were fighting over the bottle of soda.
"IT'S MINE YOU BASTARD," Yuusuke yelled.
"NA UH! YOU GOT THE LAST LAST ONE, ASSHOLE," Kuwabara yelled back.
Hiei took a seat at the kitchen table and watched slightly amused as the two duked it out. Kurama soon, after laughing slightly at them, stepped in to break the squabble up. After Kurama decided no one would get the soda, Genkai served the tea and they began to converse a little further about Ai.
"Do you think she will train well," Koenma asked.
"Hn. The girl didn't even cry when the centipede demon that was after her struck her with his poison tentacle. She will be extremely easy to train," Hiei commented less than amused at the conversation.
"You mean, is that how you found her," Kurama asked.
"Hn, yea. That bistard was attacking her when I sensed an energy signature in her direction. And before I could take her back the temple, she ran off to some house where these two fools were beating her. That's how she was stabbed in both lungs," Hiei explained.
The group's eyes widened.
"Was the demon very powerful? What was his class," Genkai asked.
"Not very powerful. Only a lower 'C' class. I don't know. Maybe she didn't cry because it wasn't very powerful. I'm not entirely sure, but she hit the ground and then stood up and started running. Maybe she hits things and turns her sadness into rage. That's what I would do if I knew how to cry," Hiei said emotionless.
"You don't know how to cry! That's horrible Hiei," Kuwabara said reaching over to pat Hiei's arm.
Hiei, using his lightning fast speed, quickly moved away.
"Hn. Don't touch me bastard. And not knowing how to cry is a good thing. Idiot," the last word Hiei mumbled under his breath.
Hiei then walked off to some random part of the meditation garden. He soon reached the end of the gardens on the left side and sat don at the small pond. He leaned against a rock that was by the pond. He wanted to think. Think about what had happened during the day. Something that he didn't do often.
'Why didn't I just kill her.
You didn't want to.
I wanted to. I could have gone back to the Makai.
Either you don't want to go back to the Makai, or you are somehow attached to her. Maybe you thought her pretty.
The damn onna was leaking blood on me. She reeked of ningen and she was unconscious for Kami's sake. And of curse I want to go back to the Makai. Stealing things there is worth my while. And you're my inner thoughts. You're supposed to know.
Well, you're too damn complicated, so neither of us knows! Okay, you cocky bastard.
Shut up you asshole.
You just called yourself an asshole. You must be one stupid fucker.
So technically you just called yourself a fucker.
But this is your mind.
Well, whatever I'm not arguing this over with myself. Anyways, what the fuck happened when in her mind?
No clue buddy.
Kami. You're no help,' and so ended his thoughts on today.
Soon after Yukina came running out to where he was.
"Hiei! I'm so glad I found you," Yukina said as she reached him, "Ai she's we don't know how, but she's reached critical condition. If something's not done she could die! Botan and I have tried soothing her with our healing powers, but it's to no avail every time."
"Alright, I'm coming," Hiei stood up and walked the frantic girl back to Ai's room.
When the two entered, their ears where filled with screams. Ai was lying on the bed, writhing back and forth, and sweat dripping off her brow. Botan was exhausted from trying to help Ai, as was Yukina. The girl's body radiated with heat, as her temperature climbed. She was surrounded by a light grayish-silver aura. All of the sudden she stopped writhing and her temperature stopped at one-hundred degrees Fahrenheight. And the aura dissipated.
"Is she dead," Yuusuke asked.
"I don't know, I really don't…," Genkai stopped in mid sentence.
Then…
Me- The chapter is done! What do you think of my ending now, Mikomi?
Mikomi- This one was REALLY GOOD!
Aikesu and Mikomi- CLIFFHANGER! OH YEA, YEA!
Me- Okay then.
Aikesu- Well, now that the bell for class to end is almost here, we will say,
All three- FAREWELL and ADU! AND YOU BETTER REVIEW, OR ASAHI-CHAN WON'T UPDATE!
