Hilo everyone! I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while. I had a field trip on Saturday. It was in between interesting and boring. We had to play a Scrimmage. If you message me I'll tell you what it's about. I humiliated myself and now the team I was on is probably mad at me even though we won. I wanted to go to sleep as soon as I got home, but my grandma was wrapping presents in my room. So I had to watch reruns of Law & Order.
Anyway here's a quote:
"I thought a thought that I thought I had thought but the thought that I had thought wasn't the thought that I had thought I had thought so maybe if I had thought the thought that I thought I thought I wouldn't have thought so much."-- What?
Preview: "Didn't you ever think that your mom wanted to kill you?" I asked. Reina had to have known from what she just told us.
Reina went quiet and she whispered, "I knew she wanted to kill me. I've always known."
Still in Shuiichi's POV
I was shocked. If she knew then why didn't she say anything?
"You're joking, right?" Yoko spoke in my head. "This is Reina you're thinking about here. The little shy girl who absolutely tried not to gain attention to herself, never wanted to get in the way of anything and always berated herself when she had no reason to."
But if she knew why did she let this happen? There were many thoughts going on in my head.
"Ever since he left I knew that she hated me with all of her being," Reina whispered.
"Who left?" I asked.
"Father. He left when I was six. He couldn't stand to look at me because I was weak. I wouldn't speak to anyone and I never fought back when kids pushed me. He got drunk and got into an accident," she said in a trance like state.
I looked at Yusuke and he looked at her as if he knew what she was going through. Maybe this is what he wanted me to find out through her, but certainly not under these circumstances.
Her hands closed into tight fists. "Mom doesn't know that I know what happened. She lied to me everyday after that. I ruined it, I messed up my family. It's my fault that Father's dead and my mom is homicidal towards me!" She said. I could hear her sobbing.
I held her tight. I held her head to my shoulder and started to rub her back slowly. She held me tighter and cried even harder. I got a better look at her shattered heart. I could feel my shirt getting wet with her tears.
"It's ok Reina. It wasn't your fault that your father left. It's his fault that he didn't accept who you were," I whispered in her ear. I just wanted to stop her tears. She had cried and suffered enough to be forgiven. She should have been forgiven long ago. "You are a great person, Reina, your parents just couldn't see it. Atsuko and Yusuke saw it though and I did too. So please... no more crying? No more tears? No more blaming yourself. Ok?"
She nodded but she just couldn't stop her crying. It's not easy to get over the things she's been through so I'll give her time.
I had to tell her everything now. She came through so I have to too. "There's a few things I have to tell you Reina. I and Yusuke and Kuwabara have been keeping something from you."
She started to quiet her sobs and sat back up and looked between me and Yusuke, obviously confused. Her eyes and cheeks were a little pink and she was sniffling a little.
"Yusuke, maybe you should start?"
"Uh, ok. Um Reina? You know the time when I sort of died?''
She looked at him as if to say 'I'm not in the mood so get to the point.'
"Ok so when I came back to life for being a good person I got a job called a 'Spirit Detective.' Shuiichi, Hiei, Kuwabara and I went to this tournament and killed a hell of a lot of demons. The tournament was to see who would rule the 'Spirit World' and we lost but I'm still a 'Spirit Detective' where I have to do all these missions dealing with demons and crap. Did you understand?"
She looked as though we were all crazy. I wouldn't blame her for it. She nodded and said, "Spirit Detective, tournament, demons and Spirit World. I think I got it."
I was glad that she took it so well with Yusuke, even if she thought we were crazy. It was at least a start. I held her hand and she looked at me.
"I'm not exactly the Shuiichi you expected me to be," I said. "My real name is Kurama. Inside my body is a silver fox demon named Yoko. He's an accomplished thief that stole many artifacts in the Spirit World. When he was about to get caught he hid in my body and now we share it. I'm normally in control but sometimes I lose it and he escapes."
She had the same look on her face as she gave Yusuke.
"Um, are you ok? Do you understand?"
She nodded quickly and said, "Yeah."
"Maybe she'd believe us if you had proof. Let me out."
He had a point, but he had a reputation of being a pervert and I didn't want her to get scared.
"I won't do anything! I just want to meet this girl of yours."
You mean you want to grope her and feel her up.
"If I did that you wouldn't let me kill her mom."
True, but still... She might freak out and scream when you do come out.
"Oh come on! You said that after she meets me and everything I could kill that woman! Now hurry up and let me out!"
No. Not now.
"I promise I won't touch her at all and if she screams then I'll cover her mouth."
You said you wouldn't touch her. I pointed out.
"Then how am I supposed to quiet her?!"
You don't because you're not coming out right now.
"What?! Talk to her right now to prepare her so she doesn't scream!"
There's nothing to pre-
"Do it now or I'm forcing my way out!"
How could I argue with that? If I fought for control he'll just overpower me and I would be too exhausted to walk when I do get control. I sighed. That entire conversation lasted for three seconds so Reina didn't notice.
"In fact I would like you to meet him, Reina," I said nervously. Yusuke had a look that said, 'What the fuck are you doing?'
Yoko just couldn't wait before I could warn her to not let him touch her before he tried to take over.
Reina's POV
This is crazy! I thought. Yusuke being a 'Spirit Detective' and Shuiichi having a demon inside of him?! What has this world come to if Shuiichi is insane? Was I out of it longer than they told me?
"In fact I would like you to meet him, Reina," Shuiichi said.
What? Meet him? How?
There was a light surrounding him, It was too bright for my eyes so I covered my eyes.
"Reina I assume?" A deep smooth voice asked about a minute later. I was afraid to look now, but I did out of great curiosity.
I was amazed at what I saw. It was a man in what sort of looked like a toga, pale skin, long silvery-white hair and beautiful golden eyes. And... He has dog-fox ears and a tail. ARE THEY REAL??? I thought.
"You're not going to scream now are you?" He asked with a tiny hint of worry. I didn't know if I wanted to scream or not, but I was speechless.
"You ok, Reina?" Yusuke asked.
I looked at Yusuke, then at Yoko, then back at Yusuke and said, "So what you and Shu- er Kurama said was true?"
"Yes."
I looked back at Yoko as if I wasn't convinced. For all I knew Shuiichi could be hiding while this guy put on this costume.
"Are you still not convinced?" Yoko asked coming a little closer to my face.
Really quickly I reached up and rubbed my hands along each one of his fox ears. Holy crap! They're real! I thought. I felt the warmth in them and plus, it twitched. I also felt Yoko relax under it. Yusuke was laughing and fell out of his chair. I let go and I covered my face with a pillow to hide my extremely red face. That was embarrassing, I thought.
"Are you ok, Reina? Are you convinced?" Yoko asked. I could just see his smirk even though the pillow was in my face.
I nodded in a response.
"Don't hide your face then."
I hugged the pillow closer but not enough to suffocate myself.
Then, before I knew it someone took the pillow away from me. "Your face is really red," Yoko pointed out and Yusuke laughed even harder if that was possible. He was rolling on the floor.
There was a knock at the door and someone came in. It was Hiei and he looked just as angry like everyday... until he saw Yoko out. He looked pissed. Then he glared daggers at me and said, "You told her!"
"Calm down, Hiei," Yoko said. "She would have suspected something sooner or later so we told her before it got messy."
Yusuke calmed down enough to get off the floor and asked, "What are you doing here anyways?"
"Demons are attacking civilians, Koenma needs us now." Hiei ran out.
"Alright we're coming!" Yusuke looked excited.
"W-what? Y-you're going?" I couldn't help but ask. I was really worried.
Yusuke didn't hear me and ran out. I looked at Yoko, who was smirking.
"Don't worry too much. Yusuke and everyone are strong. We'll all be fine," he said.
Then out of nowhere he pulls out a flower of some sort and hands it to me. It was like nothing I've ever seen before. It looked sort of like an iris, but it was mainly black and it had bright blue spots on it. It was beautiful.
"We'll be back before you even wake up," he said.
"Wait, what?"
Before I knew it this sparkling purple dust shot out at me. I was surprised and started to cough on my own saliva. Then my vision started to get blurry and i was a little dizzy. Then, all went black.
Yoko's POV
I caught her as she was about to fall off the bed and laid her down on her pillow. I covered her up and took back the flower. I jumped out of the window and landed gracefully on the ground. I then hurried to follow the demonic auras. They were petty demons but there a lot of them.
"Why did you do that?!" Kurama asked. He was mad, but I couldn't leave her worrying like that. Especially since that massage on my ears felt really good. So it was a payback in my own way.
A kiss on the forehead won't make her stop worrying Kurama. I just put her to sleep so she won't worry about you-us so much.
"'Us?'"
What? Don't you think she likes me?
"She might hate you for putting her to sleep."
He had a point there. She's rather unpredictable when it comes to her emotions. Oh well. What's done is done.
I hurried to the mass of demons and summoned my hungry plants. Of course they would never eat allies so I wasn't too worried. They might bite them, but they would spit them out.
Hours later the demons were slaughtered but there was no sign of whoever told them to come and attack. A mass of almost 5,000 couldn't have acted on their own, especially stupid demons.
Meanwhile Kurama was still mad at me. Come on Kurama. Stop being mad. Tell you what, how about I sneak into Reina's room and you can watch her for a little bit and we'll sneak right out?
Kurama was thinking about it and said, "Alright."
I hurried to the hospital and summoned an ivy like plant so I could climb to Reina's window. I peeked in to find nothing. Reina wasn't in the room. Impossible! There's no way that Reina could have woken up so fast!
"She's gone?! Hurry up and get in there!" Kurama yelled in my head.
I got in there quietly and confirmed that Reina's scent was here, but it was moved about an hour ago. Then I noticed about five or six sets of unfamiliar scents.
"The doctors could have been here," Kurama suggested.
That's true, I thought, but I could tell that something wasn't right, I just couldn't put my finger on it.
I took a deep breath to calm myself, and hopefully Kurama, down. I breathed in through my nose and I smelt something that was definitely not right. I sniffed around and found a needle under Reina's bed.
What the-? What is this? I thought. It had one of the unfamiliar scents all over it. There was some left so I put a drop of what was left on the floor and instantly I knew it was poison. It was from a plant I couldn't quite identify but it had a peculiar scent.
My ears twitched as i heard footsteps coming towards the room. I concealed myself in the shadows. It was only a doctor. She seemed to be looking for something.
"It's just a doctor. Sneak out and let's find Reina," Kurama said. He just doesn't give up.
I snuck out of the room and made sure that no one was in sight so Kurama could take control.
The End of Chapter 7
Hilo again! I'm sorry it's a short chapter again. If it's getting boring I can speed up the process just let me know. Three guesses who poisoned Reina? Everything will clear up in the next chapter. Please review or I'll be really sad and I wont update.
Here's a quote:
"Why do they put Braille dots on the keypad of the drive-up ATM?"
Can anyone answer that question for me? Why DO they put Braille dots on the drive-up ATM machine?
