Chapter Four: Questions
The team and its new members sat in the living room of Genkai's temple.
"How about a little question game?" Faith suggested. "There will be two groups, Ayamae and I in one group, you guys in the other. Each group gets to ask one question each turn. If the question steps over personal boundaries it will be thrown out and another will be allowed to replace it."
"This should be fun," Yusuke said, an evil grin on his face, "We'll start."
Ayamae and Faith nodded.
"What did you mean by fluent Ayamae?" Kuwabara asked.
"Ayamae, care to demonstrate?"
She nodded, "Well…" She started speaking quickly, answering his question. It was fast to the point that no one understood besides Faith. All of sudden Ayamae stopped and glared.
"She said, 'I'm glad that you asked, because I will speak like this often. Only those who are around me a long time, mainly Faith, can interpret my quick speech and seemingly random body language.' These normally are glares and things of that sort. Oh! And that glare she gave you at the end means she thinks you're an idiot."
Kuwabara sat there stunned beyond words.
"Our turn," Faith said, "Hmmm… let's see… Who is Urameshi?"
"That would be me," Yusuke answered. "Do you have any siblings?"
Both Ayamae and Faith flinched noticeably. Ayamae closed her eyes and inhaled sharply.
"Boundary question," Faith said quietly, but Ayamae started speaking.
"I had a brother."
"Had?" Kurama probed.
Faith quickly intervened, "Only one question per turn, remember. I also had a brother. What is your weapon of choice?"
"Rose whip." Kurama stated.
"Spirit Gun." Yusuke answered.
"Spirit Sword." Kuwabara added.
There was silence and everybody turned to Hiei.
"Well?" Ayamae asked.
"That's for me to know and you to find out," Hiei stated bluntly.
"Oh, but that's not a personal question, therefore you must answer."
"I must do nothing."
"Oh, but we answer about our personal past and you can't answer about your weapon of choice? That doesn't seem fair."
"But I didn't ask the question."
"That does not matter. Your group asks, ours answers and vice-versa."
Hiei glared and stood up. "If you bakas make me mad, you will find out."
"Or you could answer the question and skip us having to tell Koenma on you for threatening us!" Faith exclaimed smartly.
"But I don't threaten…" he said, throwing Faith against the wall, his katana at her neck, "I promise."
"Do you really think you want to threaten her? Or would you rather live through another night?" Ayamae asked, standing behind him, katana ready to attack him from behind.
"I knew we'd find out one way or another!" Faith grinned.
Hiei lowered his katana and turned toward Ayamae. "Nice katana. Where did you get it?"
"I stole it," Ayamae answered not really caring.
"Our turn," Faith added cheerfully.
Hiei glared at Faith at her cheerfulness and lack of fear, silently asking why she held no fright.
"She knows I have her back. We've been this way for ten years," Ayamae answered the unspoken question.
"Are you gonna let me down or not? I don't really care, but I'm kinda' hungry. Oh, and we have two turns now," Faith said.
"What?!?" Yusuke asked bewildered.
Kurama just smiled.
"He asked questions; I answered. That's all there is to it," Ayamae stated.
"Besides, if you kill me she'll kill you. I'll be happy."
"She will try," Hiei sneered.
"No, I will," Ayamae stated coldly.
"Now, children, let's play nice," Kuwabara said in a female teacher-ish voice.
Hiei and Ayamae turned their heads to glare at him and hunkered down farther into the couch. Faith remained pinned to the wall, grinning at Hiei's turned face.
"Is he always this stupid?" Ayamae asked rhetorically.
"Yes," Hiei grunted.
The three sat back down in their previous spots.
"Kurama, aren't you the famous kitsune thief, Youko Kurama?"
"I am, yet I'm not. I'm sure you have heard of my past. How I was badly injured and my spirit escaped to the human world."
"Yes, I have. Thank you for confirming my suspicions."
"You're welcome. Now, would you elaborate on the fact that you 'had' a brother?"
"Wait! It's still our turn. We only asked one question!"
"Actually, that was two. The first about Kuwabara's intelligence, and the second about my past," Kurama supplied.
"The question with Kuwabara was meant to be rhetorical," Faith replied for her 'sister'.
"That was not specified."
Faith sighed, "Well, damn."
"Same question. Could you elaborate on the fact that you 'had' a brother?"
"Boundaries," Faith and Ayamae said in unison.
They seemed to show no emotion but their eyes betrayed them.
"Fair enough. What type of demon are you," he pointed at Faith.
"I'm undefined really. I have many different kinds of attacks but I'm half kitsune and that's the form I take."
"Hiei," Ayamae started and he turned away from the window to glare at her, "Do you have any siblings?" Note: We do not know if Hiei has told Yukina about their relation but for story purposes he has.
He didn't answer.
"Hiei, we have been through this already. Answer the question."
He refused and looked back out the window.
"He has a sister," Kurama answered in Hiei's stead.
Hiei now turned back to Ayamae, "What type of demon are you?"
"Should I demonstrate?"
"Be my guest. I don't care either way," Hiei said.
Ayamae stood up and moved away from any people and furniture. She was surrounded by flames and when they died down she was in her demon form. The team looked at her from head to toe, from her bright red hair with black streaks, to the red glitter that highlighted her cheekbones, all the way down to her outfit.
Hiei seemed shocked and for a moment, Ayamae thought she saw a hint of blush in his face but quickly dismissed it.
"I think we've finally found Hiei's twin!" Kuwabara exclaimed.
"Not quite. I'm truly undefined, but obviously excel in flame and Jagan attacks."
"So that makes you…?" Yusuke asked.
"Fire enchantress. Even though it's rather obvious by her demon form," Hiei answered for her.
"Thank you. I don't like answering fools."
"Ok, our turn!" Faith exclaimed happily. "When's lunch?!?"
-Anime fall-
Kurama and Hiei were the first to regain their composure and Ayamae didn't seem the least bit surprised and grinned at the question.
"Now if you would like," Kurama said.
"YAY!" Faith exclaimed, jumping up and down on the couch.
Ayamae sat there on the now bouncing couch. "Play to her appetite and this is what you get."
Faith: No really, when is lunch?
Ayamae: -sweatdrop- It's 10 o'clock at night.
Faith: -scowling- So!?!
Ayamae: Give me a break.
Faith: Ok! I'll start with your arm and then your leg…
Ayamae: Anyway… I hope you all enjoyed that chapter!!! Please review!
Faith: But NO flamers!
