Me- Oh my gosh, I'm so so so sorry guys. I know it's been like what two years or something, but I promise I haven't dropped this story, please don't give up on me. I've had so many computer problems, and now my step-dad of 13 years is splitting up with my mom so my life is really hectic right now. Like I've said before, Manda and I have this story written up to chapter 17 so you know you have all of that wonderfulness to look forward to. Again I'm so sorry I haven't kept up with this that I should, but it's partially Manda's fault too.
Mara- Don't blame her. You're the one who has the notebook, so you're the only one who can type it.
Me- Sorry but-
Mara- No buts. Stop trying to blame her when she's not even here to defend herself. (two keep going back and forth)
Amara- Well since my sister and my other self want to argue, I guess I'll do the disclaimer. Neither Miranda nor Deanna own anything regarding Yu Yu Hakusho (except their ffn ideas). However they do own us, (Wow that sounds bad.) so please don't sue them or else we won't exist anymore. *tear*puppy dog face*
Mara- Amara you're such a sap.
Amara- *sticks out tongue*
Mara- Don't stick it out unless you plan to use it.
Amara- Ew Mara, that's gross.
Mara- But true.
Chapter 12
Meltdowns
"Well who the hell cares. Let's get started already!" Yusuke blurted out suddenly, obviously getting impatient.
"Yes, you don't really need your sister to be here in order to tell us what's going on, do you?" Botan followed up, though a little bit more polite than Yusuke.
Amara answered softly. "Well… no, I guess n-"
"Then hurry up and tell us what you're gonna tell us. It's not like we wanna sit here all day!""
"Oh right! I'm sorry." The female redhead panicked.
"Yusuke, leave her alone!" Don't worry sweetie, you can take all the time you want." Botan smiled after hitting the spirit detective.
The whole group was there, with the exception of Hiei and Mara. Kayko and Shizuru had even been invited by Botan, but only because Shizuru wanted to know about these sisters, and they couldn't just leave Kayko by herself on the island.
They were in the Urameshi team room that was supplied by the committee. Amara was sitting on the short end of the long couch by Kurama. Botan, Shizuru, and Kayko were sitting on the longer end, while Koenma and Yusuke sat on the short couch, and Kuwabara sat on his usual stool. There was silence.
"…so uh… what are you gonna tell us?" Kuwabara finally asked, breaking the silence.
"What do you want to know?" Amara asked shyly.
"Everything, of course!" Koenma blurted out.
"Well, I can't tell you everything. It could mess up the timeline." Amara retorted, getting slightly frustrated
"What do you mean timeline? If you're seers then-" but Botan was cut off.
"Look, we're not seers. We're just from a different w-!" Amara stopped, catching herself.
"A different what?" Shizuru questioned.
"Nothing"
"Aw, come on. You can tell us." Kazuma stated, pushing the subject.
"I said no, so quit asking!" Amara yelled, her face getting red. The whole room was quiet. Amara was near tears. She hated thinking about her old life. She missed her mother so much. Finally someone got the urge to speak.
"Other than knowing the future, do you actually have any powers?" Koenma asked softly.
"Yeah, I'm telekinetic and can control electricity, while Mara is telepathic, empathic, and can control fire." Amara answered as Kurama gripped her hand to keep her calm.
"If I may ask, how did you two wind up at the dark tournament?" Kayko spoke out.
"Well, several months ago Mara and I woke up from a three year coma that we fell into after we got into a car wreck that killed our father. Our mothers had died previously some years before, so the hospital called our uncle to come and care for us. Our Uncle Ta-um.. told us about the dark tournament before he was murdered in our house." Amara finished.
"Aha! That's where I knew you from!" Botan burst in.
"What?!" Amara asked, totally confused
"You're the girl I saw at Tarukane's compound!"
"Uh.. n-no I'm not!" The redhead panicked.
"Oh yea, you're right Botan. I thought she looked familiar. I remember now. You're the girl that freaked out when you saw Tarukane, and Kurama tried to comfort you. That explains why, cuz you're dating." Yusuke laughed. Both Kurama and Amara blushed. "So, you weren't really freaking out. You were faking it the whole time weren't you?" Yusuke continued.
"NO I-!" Amara panicked.
"What!? You were faking it?!" Amara was now standing and looking down at a hurt Kurama. "Do you know how worried I was about you, and you lied to me?!" Kurama got up and speedily left the room. Amara took a step forward with all intentions of going after him, but she couldn't. The shock had left her motionless.
All eyes were on Amara, but she just ignored them. Tears were now spilling uncontrollably down her face.
Amara was distracted from the absence of her lover by Hiei entering the room with a an unconscious Mara in his arms. Hiei made Yusuke and Koenma get off the couch before laying the raven haired girl down.
Amara rushed to her sister's side, as she wiped the tears from her face. She placed her hand on her cheek and quickly removed it. "Ow, she's burning up!" Amara replied, holding her hand. Amara used her power to lift the female pyro off the couch.
"I guess you weren't kidding about the telekinetic thing." Shizuru replied lighting up a cigarette.
Amara didn't reply. She placed her arms under her sister, not touching her, but close enough so it looked as if she were carrying her, and turned to leave.
"Wait! We're not done tal-" but Koenma was cut short by Amara's sad but stern voice.
"I have nothing more to say!" And with that she left the silent room.
--
Kurama had no idea where he was going. He just decided to go wherever his feet took him. He had been so infuriated. He hadn't realized that he was deep into the forest. Finally he stopped, and decided to sit and think. He leaned against a nearby tree and again was lost in thought.
'I hadn't meant to leave her hanging like that, but I figured I might want to leave before I said something that would make her not ever speak to me again. So she knew I was a demon all along, but why then did she freak out the way she did. I was really worried about her, and when she said she needed space, I completely understood. I waited for about a week, and when she didn't call I decided it was worth the risk, just to make sure she was okay.'
'Then we were on spring break so I couldn't see her at school, but the first day back, she wasn't there. That day after school I went to the house, only to find it deserted. Here and Mara's stuff were all gone. I was really starting to worry, but figured that she just moved in with new relatives since even her stuff was gone.'
Kurama was pulled out of his train of thought by a single ray of sunshine that had found its way thought the thick canopy above him and into his eyes.
It was then that Kurama realized where his feet had taken him. This was the very spot where Kurama had taken his mate for the first time. Kurama's mind settled on that one moment, as they had held each other close, and were happy in each other's embrace. Kurama wished he could be trapped in that one moment forever.
After he had cooled down, Kurama decided that it would be wise to talk to Amara about what had happened. He stood up, and made his way back to the hotel.
--
Amara gently lay Mara down on her bed. She wet a cloth with cold water and lay it on the raven's head. The moment the cold hit her forehead, it sizzled from the head emitting from Mara's skin.
It took Mara around 20 minutes to come around. She slowly opened her eyes to see a puffly eyed Amara. "What happened?" Mara questioned as she sat up.
"I think you just had a nervous breakdown, and your sparky thingy was effected, causing it to inflame you and your clothes." Mara looked down to see that, in fact, she was naked. She removed herself from her bed, and grabbed her white silk robe that was hanging on the back of the desk chair.
"Mara, I don't think you should be up and moving yet." Amara said softly to her sister.
"Look, I'm fin-Red, have you been crying?" Mara asked, just now noticing the puffiness of Amara's bloodshot eyes.
"NO, of course not!" Amara answered, rubbing her face, but before Mara had time to retort, there was a knock at the door. "Oh no! Mara, if that's Kurama, tell him I'm not here!" Amara whispered in a panic.
"But wh-"
"Just do it! Please, I'm begging you!" Mara had a confused look on her face, but obeyed.
Mara walked to the door, pulling her robe around her form tighter. She opened it, but only a crack to see Kurama standing there with his fist in the air. "Hi, Mara, is um… would Amara happen to be here?" Kurama asked with a hopeful look on his face.
"She is, but I'm afraid she's asleep right now. She came in here after the meeting, and just cried herself to sleep." Kurama's expression changed from hopeful, to disappointed, to just plain hurt.
"Oh" was all he could manage to get out.
"I'm sorry, but If you come by later she should be awake." Mara actually felt sorry for the fox.
"Thank you." Kurama replied, before slowly walking off, with the hurt expression still all over his face.
'What the fuck?' Closing the door Mara turns her head, not moving the door. "Okay, what the hell did you do?" She demands, her darker emotions becoming more pronounced after the earlier drain.
Amara opens her mouth to say something, but Mara cuts her off with a disgusted look. "Never mind, your guilt says it all." Spinning toward her closet, Mara blindly reaches in for a pair of clothes, before going to the bathroom to change.
The telepath pulls on her shirt, swaying slightly before falling against the tub, as a wave of fatigue hits her. 'Right, too much movement.' Amara's emotions float around the girl, nearly choking her as they layer themselves over her own pain.
"Ignore it." Mara commands aloud. 'Sakyo is going to die, Toguro is going to die, and there's nothing you should do to stop them, so stop wallowing. Ignore the pain. I let loose once, and that was more than enough.' The young girl pauses suddenly as a memory flashes before her eyes. "Hiei?" the girl questions aloud.
The seer shakes away the thought, rolling up the sleeves of her shirt. 'Wait a minute, rolling up' "Amara!"
Said redhead jumps as the bathroom door bursts open, and a scowling Mara frames the doorway. The black haired girl was wearing only the long sleeved shirt which went down mid-thigh and underclothes presumably. "Why is the fox's shirt in my closet?!"
"I don't know. Why don't you tell me?" Amara questioned with a scowl, her hand on her hip.
"How should I know? You're fucking the fucker!" Mara answered, sliding on some black slacks, and proceeded to leave the bedroom.
"And where do you think you're going?!"
"You didn't think I wouldn't flaunt it back to the fox did ya?" Mara stated, trudging to the hotel door.
'Whatever' Amara thought to herself as she followed her sister down the hall.
After a few minutes of walking in silence Amara finally spoke up. "Where are you going?", but Amara receive no answer. She looked around, and noticed that they were on the opposite side of the hotel. "Mara, please let's not go there."
"Why not?"
"Because, I'm not in the mood."
"Well suck it up. Your emotions are making my head hurt."
Mara opens the hotel room door, carelessly pushing her sister ahead of her. Noticing only Yusuke, and Hiei were present, the empathy turns to Kurama's bedroom. Pushing open the door, she smiles when she find her prey laying listlessly on the bed.
Kurama jerks into a sitting position as the black haired girl slips onto the bed beside him. "Mara, what do you think you're doing?"
Lounging on her stomach, the pyro smirks into the pillow at his question. Rolling onto her side, she props herself up with her elbows. "What's wrong, Kurama?" She asks, drawing out his name. 'How come his bed's comfier than mine?' "You didn't mind last night."
"I don't have any clue what you're talking about." The fox replies shifting away, highly aware of the small audience they had.
Pouting, Mara flops onto her back, stretching languidly. "Don't tell me you've forgotten already?"
Kurama's eyes widened at her tone. Practically jumping from the bed, he watches her carefully. "What are you doing?"
Mara ignores his question. Rising from the bed she confidently stalks toward the boy. "After all, it's still quite vivid in my mind. The whispers, the moans," Stepping closer, she trails her finger down the fox's chest. "the caresses," The whole time she was projecting a little dream she had become privy to. Leaning closer to his ear, Mara licks her lips. "the screams."
Amara watched wide-eyed, her guilt and sadness quickly flaring into betrayal and anger. "Is that why his shirt was in your closet?"
"What? No!" Kurama denies, spinning to face his mate. "Don't tell me you believe her?"
"I don't know what to believe!" She screams angrily.
Inwardly, Mara smiles. "Yes, truth be told, I had completely forgotten about it, until now that is." She says, flipping up the shirts collar. Saying nothing more, Mara leaves the room, brushing by Kurama and her sister on the way out. She closes the door quietly, melting the lock together.
"Hot damn!" Yusuke exclaims hoarsely.
The seer smirks, "Oh, I'm sorry. Did I project?"
Yusuke runs his hand through his hair with a choked groan. "I gotta got take a shower, a really cold shower." He mutters to himself as he leaves for the bathroom.
Mara sighs, leaning her head back against the door. Without warning her legs give out, and the pyro finds herself in a puddle on the floor, 'thank you'.
Hiei lifts an eyebrow at the mental message. "Hn"
'What happened yesterday?'
"Nah, really?" Mara replies sarcastically with a yawn, "I'm leaving. I got a feeling the two reds are gonna be in there a while." Standing slowly she makes her way to the main hall, but Hiei's voice stops her.
"Why do you have on Kurama's shirt?"
The female shrugs, as she grips the door frame. "Beats me, I found it in my closet."
--
"Don't touch me!" Amara demands, jerking away from her mate.
Kurama scowls, dropping his hands to his sides. "I would never cheat on you." The foxy says crossing his arms over his chest. "You know that Mara dislikes me. Why would you think we'd…?" Trailing off he rubs his face tiredly. "Though, I suppose we may finally get the talk we needed."
Me- There you go guys, that's your Easter present from me lol. Read and Review. Thanx
Also, the two of us have some plans for a sequel (I know, not even halfway done with the first one and already thinking about a sequal, but we have to have something after the YYH storyline right?). If we do have a sequel it will definately have many crossover characters, one in particular we have planned works out perfectly, but anyways, the crossovers we have planned so far are Spiral and D N Angel, but only for the character purposes. What do you guys think of that idea? Do you think it would still be enjoyable? Review Review Review (anonymous reviews accepted 3)
