"Koenma" a voice haltered at a tall guy with a pacifire in his
mouth.
"Nani?"
It was
Kurama. "I have a question for you."
"Eh?" Koenma seated with his tea in his hand and Kurama sat across
from him. "So what did you call me for."
"I
met a girl yesterday."
"Good.
And??"
"She
can see Yusuke, Hiei and mine's true forms outside our human forms."
"What?" slamming his cup down lightly.
"Aa.
It was strange."
"Where
did you meet her?"
"Yesterday."
"I was on the waterfront and I heard this girl scream. I ran over to her
and there were four demons trying to kill her. Her friend's came by afterwards
and said they wanted to know where she was at, apparently they couldn't see the
demons only she can. After that Yusuke-tachi came and we went back to Kuwabara's
house because I wanted to talk to her. Then suddenly she started to say things
like "What are you?" Like she could see us in those forms then she
collapsed and passed out."
"Sore
de..."
"She
woke and yelled out my old name and called me, "Youko-sama"."
"Youko-sama?"
"Aa.
She then told us that she could see different forms of us. Yusuke as Raizon,
Hiei and his eyes and Kurama as Kurama Youko. She told us her dream. That we
were together, like in a different life time. But that was it."
'back at Kuwabara's house'
"Your
awake." Yusuke smiled at her.
"Aa.
Arigatou. Kurama wa?"
"He
went somewhere he'll be back".
She
got up and sat next to them on the floor. Hiei came in with some tea for her.
"It will help you get better, it's a drink from the demon world." She
took it and drank it and coughed.
"Ewwww"
"It'll
help, drink it" he looked at her, "Can you describe what you saw when
you looked at the three of us."
"Do
you have a pencil and paper?"
Kuwabara
handed her some and she began to draw. Within 20 minutes she sketched out each
of them as she saw them.
Kuwabara,
"Sugoii!!! You did that really fast!!" as he looked it, "It
really looks like them."
Hiei
and Yusuke looked at each other and then at her. Hiei asked her, "Can you
draw yourself as you saw yourself in your dream?"
"ehh..."
She took the tablet and drew herself as she remembered it and gave it to Hiei.
Hiei looked at it, "She looks familiar" he thought to himself "but
from where".
The door opened and Kurama walked in with Koenma behind him.
"Koenma?
Why are you here?" Kuwabara asked
He
looked at saw the girl sitting with them on the ground with the red hair.
"This is her?"
"Aa"
Koenma
walked over to her and Hiei, "What are you looking at?"
Hiei
showed him, "I asked her to describe what she saw in her dream as herself
and how she saw us. This is what she drew." Koenma and Kurama looked it.
"Ii ze"
"Aa.
Right down to every detail probably if she worked on it more."
Koenma
looked at it more, "Masaka..." he said in his head. He looked
over at her, "this looks nothing like you."
"Doh."
she said, "I know"
Kurama
looked at the picture and studied it and then looked at her, studied her too.
"It is you. If you take out that red dye and make her look a little bit
older she would look exactly like the woman in this picture." They all
looked at him.
Hiei,
"You ok there?"
"Aa."
Kurama stared at her talking with Yusuke, Hiei and Kuwabara. He walked out of
the room onto the balcony, "why can't I remember her then? I would
surely remember a face like that."
Koenma
followed him, "Kurama"
"Eh?"
he turned to the right and found Koenma standing next to him.
"Did
she tell you anything else from her dream? Anything that you didn't tell
me?"
"Well...
no. Why?"
"That
picture she drew of herself that she said she was in her dream, I remember
seeing it someplace before."
"Eh?"
Just
then Kurenai came out, "Kurama-san, Koenma-san..."
"Kurenai!"
Kurama jumped back.
Koenma
approached her, "Kurenai, can you remember anything in your dream? Any
specific happenings?"
"Hai.
I remember running toward Youko and we were talking. He was telling me I should
go back before someone finds us out then guards came out." she started to
recall it, "Youko-sama, he told me to run but I didn't. I remember staying
and there was this glow, something happened to my body and Youko-sama screamed
at me. All I told him was not to forget me, to always remember me and that I
love him." she started to tear. She could feel the pain coming back now and
Kurama started to feel something he wasn't sure. He looked at her small watery
eyes.
"You
can feel it?"
She
nodded, "I don't know why. I just met you. I don't know you, any of you.
But I feel like I do."
Koenma
left them two alone, "I'll be back I have to ask Botan to do something for
me."
Kurama
looked at her as she stood there looking at the sky with sad eyes. "I wish
I could remember but I can't." As he continued to look flashes of her
turned into flashes of the woman in the picture. "What?" He was now
seeing something different. Like he was watching the past like a movie.
"Kurenai"
"Youko-sama."
he held her until the guards came.
"Run
Kurenai!"
"No!" she stood there and this glow came from her body.
"NO!!
KURENAI!!"
"Youko-sama,
aishiteru, anata ha wasurenai de, ne? watashi ha wasurenai..." she smiled
"KURENAI!!"
"Ima
no..." he looked at her and she looked back.
"Kurama-san
daijoubu?"
He
looked at her but all he could see was a girl with red hair and black roots
showing. "uuu... ya I'm ok.Your hair how come you dyed it red?"
"I
didn't that's how I was born, with this red hair and black roots that never grow
out. Strange huh?"
Shizuru
came, "Kurama, that idiot of a brother of mine want's to talk to you."
"Ok."
he left Kurenai on the balcony. Shizuru stood next to her smoking a cigarette.
"Can
I have one?"
"You
smoke?"
"No
but I feel like I want one."
"Anemone-san"
"Hai?"
She let out
another puff before speaking. "Yusuke told me everything."
"Sou..."
"If
anyone should be using -sama around here is all of us"
"Eh?
But why? I don't..."
"I
can't see everything but for some reason I've gotton this power to sense things
and something tells me that Kurama is the one to call you -sama." She
inhaled and exhaled a long puff and looked at her. "Let's go back inside,
it's getting cold in here."
"Un."
They
both walked inside and found them all hurdled around the table.
"Where
did my brother go?"
"We
sent him to another realm" replied Hiei.
Kurama
laughed, "He went to go get some food."
Kurenai,
"I should be leaving, I have to get home."
"Wait."
Kurama grabbed her wrist. "Let me walk you."
"Its ok
I'm fine on my own." she said it with a callous face. She tugged her wrist
away, "I'm fine. Excuse me. Shizuru, Yusuke, Hiei-san thank you for your
kindness. Kurama-san, Thank you." and she left running down the stairs.
Kurenai took the long way home stopping by the conbini (convenient
store). She picked up some Oolong cha and Granit Potato's. The employee warmed
it for her and she left the store. She stopped by the park to eat it before it
got cold. She remembered her dream and she kept playing it over and over again.
'sigh'
"What is with that? I don't even know these people. Demon's, People that
fly that have power, what is all this? I don't want any of this. But... I don't
even know my own family." she let out another sigh and continued to eat.
Suddenly two demons from a far came running toward her, she saw them and jumped
out of the way. "whoa what was that?"
"Kurenai!" Kurama blurted out.
"Yes we know" Kuwabara said to him.
"No
she's in trouble"
"How do you
know?" They all looked at him then they all felt this strong reiki.
"What is that? It's strong... strong power." Hiei murmured, "It
can't be". They all looked outside and this white light glowed from the
park a few blocks downtown. They all got up and ran out of the apartment.
Shizuru walked and eveyone dashed right passed her.
"What
do you want?" she said. "Leave me alone! I don't want any part of
this!" Her hair started to turn streaks of black and her eyes changed
color. She started to get angry as she got angry they ran towards her with their
claws. One jumped the other ran to the side and tried to attack her. She moved
out of the way and yelled, "What do you want!?"
One of them
answered. "You!" and they jumped at her again. This time as she yelled
and they came close to her the light burned them to death. Kurama and the others
came in just in time to witness it all.
"KURENAI!!!!!!" Kurama yelled and ran to her. He picked her off the ground and looked at her. "Kurenai!"
