Reaching Your Limits: A YYH alternate universe
Episode 6: Travel Together. Strange Sensations.
As it turned out, Keiko was eager to go. She called her parents and asked
permission, then the six of them made their way to the bus stop that would take
them to the outer edge of Tokyo. It would take almost an hour to get there, but
none of the teenagers were bothered by that fact.
Yukina and Keiko hit it off from the begining and were talking about the dinner
that Keiko had volunteered to help prepare. Apparently, the boys were going to
be given quite a treat as the girls celebrated their new friendship by cooking
up a storm.
"Hiei, do you think that Genkai will mind?" Shuuichi questioned, finally
deciding on a subject to start up a conversation with the silent boy next to
him.
Deep crimson eyes turned toward him and Shuuichi struggled to breath properly
when his heart sped up. Firmly, he told himself to stop acting like an idiot.
"Genkai meantioned this morning that she wouldn't mind having company. She lived
alone before Yukina and myself, and enjoys it when young people come to the
temple," Hiei replied.
When he didn't say anything more, Shuuichi fougth to think of another question
to ask. He didn't want the conversation to die so quickly. "Genkai's name is
rather well known around Tokyo. When she was younger, she was very famous for
her ability at martial arts," he quickly said.
When Hiei gave a non-commental grunt, Shuuichi grimaced. "Have you learned any
martial arts from her while you've been living there?" he stammered.
The other was quiet for a moment, then shrugged. "Not really. I was trained
somewhere else. Genkai has nothing that she could teach me," he replied.
"Oh, so you know martial arts?" Shuuichi asked, eyes lighting up. He had taken
defensive courses, and things like yoga, but never an course that taught actual
fighting.
"I know a little. Nothing to brag about," Hiei said, a small smile coming to his
lips.
Shuuichi blinked, then grinned proudly. For the entire two days that Hiei had
been here, he'd never seen the other boy smile at all. He looked even more
adorable when he did! Well... except.... Shuuichi blinked. The smile had already
vanished but, for a moment, he could of sworn the other'd had fangs!
He was broken from his thoughts when Kuwabara suddenly shreaked and jumped up
from his bus seat. Everyone, people outside of their group included, looked
toward him as he fought to regain his composure. Beside him, Yukina was looking
incredibly upset, while Keiko was scowling.
"There is no need to react like that!" the brown-haired girl exclaimed.
"What happened?" Shuuichi questioned.
Yuusuke stopped laughing long enough to answer him. "Keiko asked what kind of
woman Genkai is, and Yukina said that she sometimes thought Genkai was a demon,"
he replied.
Hiei gave his sister a sharp look, which she ignored as she tried to calm
Kuwabara down. He looked embarrased, but still tense. "I'm sorry, Kazuma-kun. I
didn't realize that you would react like that," she said, a blush staining her
cheeks.
"No, I appologize," he replied with a sigh, smiling at her. "I shouldn't of
reacted like that just because you said the word demon."
"Was that why you freaked out?" Keiko questioned.
Kuwabara flushed a little and nodded. "It is pretty embarrasing, but I have a
strong phobia of demons and spirits. I've always been able to sense when
something like a ghost is beside me and, as a child, it scared me a lot. I've
never really grown out of the fear," he explained.
"You can sense spirits?" Hiei questioned, looking interested in the conversation
for the first time.
"It probably sounds very stupid," Kuwabara said dryly. "When I was younger, I
used to see people that other's couldn't see. Most of them were scary, their
bodies mutilated in some way. When I grew up, I realized that I was seeing
ghosts. As I grew older, I could no longer see them, but every once and a while
I get the same chilled sensation that I did as a child."
"I don't think it sounds stupid," Shuuichi said quickly, wanting to support the
other in case the rest of the group doubted him. "I have similar experiences.
Sometimes, when I meet someone, I'll get a chill that I can't explain. Other
people don't seem to be affected by it, but my instinct on the person is usually
right."
"What do you mean?" Yukina asked, her eyes wide.
Blushing, Shuuichi shrugged a little. "Well, a few years ago I met a co-worker
of my mother's. There was something about him that set me on edge, and I didn't
like him in the least. It was about three months later that it was discovered
that he had killed his last three girlfriends, for no apparent reason."
"Did he go to jail?" Keiko questioned.
Shuuichi shook his head. "That's the strangest part, I think. When the police
identified him, the man vanished completely. There was absolutely no trace of
him to be found. There didn't even seem to be any kind of records of him at the
hospital, or at schools."
Kuwabara nodded firmly. "It is kind of like that for me," he replied.
Leaning back in his seat, Shuuichi turned his eyes toward Hiei. He was surprised
to find that the other was watching him carefully, his expression completely
closed off.
"Hiei?" he questioned.
The other boy snapped out of his observation quickliy. "Nothing," he said
shortly, then returned to looking out of the window.
