Reaching Your Limits: A YYH alternate universe
Episode 29: Meeting Koenma. The True Enemy
"You fell asleep? In the middle of the afternoon?"
It was easy to tell by her tone of voice that Yukina was very upset by this
information. She gave her brother a stern look, hands on her hips. "Why didn't
you tell me? I've been warning you that this would happen if you kept
overworking yourself," she continued.
Botan couldn't smother her giggle when Hiei mumbled an appology. Koenma had yet
to meet everyone. By the time they'd arrived from school, he and Genkai were in
another room and discussing Yuusuke's training. When Shuuichi had casually
meantioned falling sleep in the park, it had not taken more than a few seconds
for the Koorime girl to round in on her brother.
"You've been keeping watch every night, and going to classes every day. I knew
you were going to wear youself out," Yukina went on.
"It isn't that big of a deal. I sleep often enough, and I knew that there wasn't
any danger at that time," Hiei mumbled.
"Still, I'm worried. You've been pushing youself too hard," Yukina stated.
"I agree," Shuuichi stated.
Yukina gave him a brilliant smile while Hiei shot him a glare. Shuuichi wasn't
ruffled by this in the least and returned Yukina's smile. "If you are woriking
yourself too hard now, then you'll exhaust all your energy before the fight,"
Shuuichi added.
Whatever reply Hiei was going to give was cut off when Genkai and Koenma took
that moment to join them. Botan got to her feet respectfully, Yukina doing the
same. Everyone else remained in their seats, although Hiei cast the prince a
small nod of his head that was probably his version of a bow. Botan had never
met anyone more disrespectful toward Koenma in her life.
Until the demi-God introduced himself and Yuusuke and Kuwabara keeled over in
their seats with laughter. Botan grimaced when the two of them burst into
hysterical chuckles, trying to quite them along with their respective
girlfriends. Keiko hit Yuusuke over the head hard enough to make his skull
bounce off of the table, while Yukina sniffled and asked Kuwabara nicely to mind
his manners.
When the two boys managed to gain their composure once again, and Koenma
recovered from his annoyance, the tiny prince took his place at the head of the
table. "I can't stay long, because there is a lot of work to be done, but I
thought that it would be a good time to meet the three people I'm recruiting as
my Spiritworld Detectives," he said.
"It is nice to finally meet you as well," Shuuichi said politely, and Botan
smiled gratefully at him. At least one of these human boys could mind their
manners.
Koenma seemed to think so as well and gave Shuuichi a pleased look. "Now then, I
am not sure how much Hiei and Yukina have told you about this enemy. I gather
that it isn't much, because I haven't given them much information."
"I hope you'll tell us now that we have they've agreed," Hiei commented.
Koenma closed his eyes and nodded shortly. Grimacing a little, knowing the truth
of the enemy and Koenma's reasons for not wanting to give his identity, Botan
put her hand on his shoulder.
"The ememy which the five of you will be facing is a fire demon who is renoun in
the Demonworld," Koenma began. He paused to make sure he had everyone's
attention before focusing his gaze on the twins. "He was known mostly for the
children he sired with a Koorime woman, the Forbidden Children of the
Demonworld. However, he is also known for his substantial amount of power, and
has become one of the most powerful beings in the Demonworld today."
"Sired the Forbidden Children?" Hiei echoed in a clipped voice.
Yukina took Hiei's hand with a small gasp, and the others in the room suddenly
seemed to realize what this meant. A heavy, tense atmosphere surrounded them as
Koenma nodded slowly.
"Now you probably understand why I didn't want to tell you. Haru is a demon from
the Veere race. He does not like how the Demonworld is run, but is not powerful
enough to overthrow any of the three leaders. Instead, he has set his sights on
the Humanworld, and has promised his race that he will give them all a certain
amount of power if they aid his mission to take it over," Koenma explained.
"You can't expect them to fight their own father," Yuusuke exclaimed.
Hiei shot him a dark look. "Of course we will. We owe him no favours. Haru might
of been the man to plant the seed in our mother, but he has never been a father
to either of us," he stated.
Yukina looked sad, but she nodded. "It is true. Things are not the same in the
Demonworld as they are in the Humanworld. If it is necessary, then I will
support my brother until the end of the battle," she stated.
"I don't understand," Shuuichi admitted quietly.
"The existance of the Forbidden Children is not a secret. Haru has had plenty of
opportunities in the past to claim them as his own. Since he has not, he has
lost any claim on them now that they are grown. He is no more their father than
they are his children," Koenma explained.
Yukina sniffled a little and Keiko stood to hug her, but the Koorime shook her
head and smiled. "I'll be all right. What must be done must be done. I shouldn't
feel bad about a man whom I've never even met, just becaused he fathered myself
and my brother during a wild fling. I am mostly upset because I'll never get to
know what kind of man he is," she said quietly.
"It doesn't matter what kind of man he is. Right now, he is attempting to build
an army to conquer the Humanworld. It is enough to know that we need to stop
him," Hiei stated.
"We can discuss the matter of Haru later. Botan will leave you with the
information which I've uncovered from the books about him. Right now, I have a
few questions I want to ask Shuuichi about his abilities," Koenma stated.
"I already know that I can control youki," Shuuichi commented.
Hiei cast a sharp look around, and Yukina laughed softly. "You accidently let it
slip during your training session," she told him quietly.
"Shuuichi, do you have any idea how long you've been able to manipulate plants?"
Koenma questioned.
Shuuichi thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I've been good with them
ever since I was a child. I don't know if this was because I was able to
manipulate them or not, but it seems likely now that I know of my ability," he
replied.
Koenma nodded slowly, digesting this information. "Can you think of a time when
something strange happend to you? Perhaps you had contact with a strange person,
or you spent time in a strange place?" he asked next.
"What do you mean?" Yuusuke questioned, when Shuuichi's expression became
confused.
"Well, if Shuuichi had contact with a person who looked or behaved oddly, it
could of been a demon who somehow passed on his ability. Or, if he was ever in a
strange place, it could have been the Demon or Spiritworlds," Koenma explained.
"No, not that I recall. I have strange dreams once and a while, but other than
that there is nothing," Shuuichi replied after a short pause.
"What kind of dreams?" Botan asked, curious. Could someone be feeding him youki
through his dreams? There were demons with all sorts of strange abilties.
"They seem almost like memories. I see through the eyes of a demon of some kind.
I've only seen reflections of myself in water, and they aren't very clear.
Everyone in the dreams calls me Kurama," Shuuichi stated.
Botan blinked when Hiei suddenly jerked to his feet, his expression twisted in
shock and pain. Yukina gasped at the same moment, then jumped to her feet only a
moment after her brother. She turned to grab onto Hiei's arm, but he was gone in
a flash of black before she could gain hold of him.
"What is it? Did I say something wrong?" Shuuichi asked, looking devastated as
he got to his feet as well.
Yukina looked at him for a long moment, then shook her head and smiled. "Don't
worry about it. I need to talk to my brother. Please continue with your
conversation. I know where to find him," she said softly, then ran from the
temple.
"Well, that was unexpected," Kuwabara commented.
Koenma exchanged a look with Botan, and she nodded. Now was a good time to
change the subject. "Kazuma, I also wanted to speak to you about your ESP
ability," Koenma stated, drawing the other's attention back to him.
Botan listened with only half an ear, seeing only Shuuichi's upset expression.
She'd had no idea, although the facts lined up rather easily from what Yukina
had told them during her brother's trial. Sixteen years ago, Hiei's
plant-weilding lover had vanished without a trace. Sixteen years later, a human
is born with the same plant-weilding ability is found, with dreams of the said
demon. She had no idea how it could work, but nothing was impossible.
She could only wonder how Hiei was taking it.
