Chapter 2- Breaking the ice
------Yusuke Urameshi was walking home from school. Keiko beside him with her case, that had her books and papers in it. Dangling on he side was a cute key chain with a bunny on it. Of course, he had gotten it for her. "It's been three weeks sense you had to go fight demons Yusuke. Where did all the bad guys go?" She asked and looked to him. Her hair flipping a little cutely. He scratched the back of his head and shrugged his shoulders.
"Maybe I killed 'em all." He said playfully and threw an arm around her shoulder pulling her close when they heard an enormous yell by none other.
"URAMESHI!!~!!" Kuwabara yelled. The two winced at how loud it was. As usual and turned.
"What's yer deal Kuwabara? Can I not walk my own girl friend home? Christ!" Yusuke said a little agitated as the big lug ran up. Pausing a little out of breath.
"I wanted to know, if you wanted to spar with me over and Genkai's?" He said lifting himself up from breathing hard. Yusuke blinked.
"Yeah yeah. Sure. But later okay?!"
"Okay, but have you seen Botan? I thgouht she said she wanting to tell you something." Yusuke shrugged his shoulders.
"Nope. Haven't seen her today. Later man, I gotta walk Keiko home."
------Kurama sat in Yusuke's living room with the others hanging out. He had a cup off coffee listening to the conversation. Yusuke leaned forward on the couhc holding the controller, Kuwabara on the floor tapping away at his own. Playing a fighting game on the Playstation. "Ha! Did you see that Kuwabara! I just smacked you so hard!"
"Oh yeah!?" Kuwabara shouted pressing it harder trying to kick Yusuke's character as hard as possible. Kurama looked around and rolled his eyes. ~I do miss Hiei. He would never par take in such foolishness.~
"Yusuke, how loong has it been sense you saw Hiei-chan?" Kurama asked after taking another sip. Yusuek not looking at him but still playing the game.
"Couple months. Sense that whole deal with Panic... Why?"
"I was only wondering." He said crossing his legs.
"You miss the lil' runt huh?" Kuwabara said still paying attention to the game like Yusuke.
"Of course he does idiot! He's his best friend."
"Well, yes he is and all. But, I have been worrying about him even more lately sense we haven't seen him or Sapphire."
"I wouldn't be seen if I had a girl that hot either." Kuwabara said with a snicker.
"Heh heh. No doubt." Yusuke added. Kurama sighing.
"Honestly."
"If yer really worried... You shouldn't be. This is Hiei we're talking about. Supposedly the strongest demon asides from the Makai gods right?"
"Yes in deed."
"Then he should still be fine. Never saw a lil fucker that strong. Plus he's prolly not gettin' into trouble lately if he doesn't want Sapphy involved. Ya think?"
"I suppose you're right. He does care for her quite a bit."
..::Meanwhile::..
------Crying can be heard. Sobbing. Feminine-like so it must be a woman. We see a little girl on her knees with her face buried in her hands crying. A young girl with preatty aqua green hair tied back in a ponk tail somwhat an some strands hanging hear her ears. Her komono was sky blue and ripped here and there. Still she cried in this room. It looked like a large bed room. She sitting in a cage that hung from the ceiling. A nasty looking demon lay on the grody bed. Getting up he walked over and picked up the tear gems.
..::The next day at school::..
------Yusuke stood on the roof watching over the city. He breathed out as a slight breezed whisped against him. He thought of Keiko. The one thing he did all this for, his friends as well of course. He cared for them all so much. Especially her... Some day he hoped to marry her actually. But who knows what'll happen. He was a spirit detective. He might just die again and run through hell shouting, and crying for his Keiko like a lost kitten. ~I could never deal, if that happened. I love her too much.~ He thought and held on the chain link fence watching outward, leaning on it. "Maybe I should just ask her and get it over with." Yusuke said and saw something strange. On one of the buildings the long pule that stood up from one looked like a person stood at the very top of one. Which was impossible in every way. "The hell?" He whispered watching still. It was too far away for him to make out who it was though. Or what for that matter. It had to be demon though.
"Well Yusuke!" A voice beemed. He shuttered at it and turned.
"Botan? What's up?"
"Oh. I just have a new mission for you."
"Really. For joy." He said sarcastically, walking over to her with his hands in his uniform pockets.
"It appears a Koorime has been found off the island for the first time in... well ever actually."
"Well. What's a Koorime then?" He said sitting down agsint the housing arond the steps on the top of the school building.
"An ice maiden from the floating island above the Makai."
"I see. Well what about it."
"A horrid youkai has her, and is selling her tear gems. I heard the rumor and thought it would be good to go save her. Don't you think."
"I guess."
"It would be good Yusuke! Poor thing. Just a little girl. Do you have any morals."
"Little girl?"
"Yes! She's young, and innocent. I feel so horrible."
"Well then." He said jumping back up. "Let's get to it."
"Oh good Yusuke!"
"I'm sure Kuwabara'll wanna tag along. So we'll do it tommrow. It's saturday alright?" He said and she nodded happily.
------"Well if you don't mind I would like to help." Kurama said and Yusuke looked to him. He blinked confused for a minute.
"Sure. But why is everyone so intent on doing this though?"
"Yusuke!!!" Botan yelled.
"Oh. One more thing. Don't think it a bother. But I know Hiei would most certainly come along with us as well."
"Why do you think that? This battle won't be that serious I don't think." Yusuke said and Kuwabara chimed in.
"Yeah! He usually comes with us when he knows he get's to kill some stuff. How come this is different?" He asked and Kurama stood up.
"It's complicated. But I will return here tommrow to join you all." He said walking out.
"Kay. later man! If he doesn't wanna come along tell him I said hey!" Yusuke shouted out the door. Kuwabara rolled his eyes. Botan walked over cheery.
"Tell him I said hello as well! Sapphire too!"
..::At Hiei's abode::..
------Sapphire lay on a large sircular cushion in the floor by the fire. Pillows assorted on here spot as well. She lay on her stomach reading a book. Behind her waved a tail back and fourth. A thin devil tail almost reaching the back of her knee it was black and shined. The fire place blazed, all was calm when she heard a knock. Blinking she looked in the direction of it and stood up. A dark blue velvet cape forming over her almost naked body as she walked. She glided down the steps practically, she walked so calmly the cloak rolling down each one behind her as well. ------Kurama stood outside. The air around the place was foggy and youcouldn't see anywhere else just the lare black castle. He turned to the door when he heard a click of metal echo, then the enormous door etch open. Seeing there, was Sapphire, with one hand holding the door the other insde the cloak holding it shut. She was the keeper of this house apparently. Get past her and you entered this dark crypt. That is if you dared to. No one had ever gotten past Sapphire. Her power was only matched by a few. Hiei mostly. Kurama smiled. She tilted her head soemwhat smiling as well, still not opening the door all the way. "Sapphire. It's been so long sense I've seen you."
"What is your buisness with Lord Hiei?" She asked, her finger running up and down on the door about two inches.
"I have some valuable information that I think he should be aware of."
"Very well. You may come in Kurama-san." She said openign the door and putting out her hand offering him to come in. As he did and the door slowly shut...
