Reaching Your Limits: A YYH alternate universe
Episode 37: Realization. Stepping up the Plan
The next day, Shuuichi was still in shock. Although Yuusuke had given him a questioning glance when he'd entered, a few minutes late, there had been no chance to let the other know of his recollection the night before. Instead, he'd had to sit in his desk and pretend to be listening to the teacher. He was lucky that he wasn't called upon, since he was far too distracted to be able to pay attention.
Hiei had held him as he'd trembled before eventually broken down into sobs. He had never realized that the other could be such a comfort. Hiei's attempt at soothing him had not been very successful, but it had been enough to calm him down enough to fall back asleep a few hours later.
Although many of his memories still remained hidden away, last night had been enough to tell him who and what he really was. The loss which he felt was strong now. He was almost desperate to learn of the real soul which he owned.
Their classes seemed to go on forever before the bell finally released them for lunch. It took only a few seconds for Yuusuke to appear beside him, obvious concern on his face, Keiko not far behind him. Hiei had told him that he would report this new information to Koenma. "Shuuichi, it isn't like you to be late. And you've been acting strangely all morning. What's going on?" he asked.
Taking a deep breath, Shuuichi leaned back in his chair. "I had another dream last night. One that explained everything," he said, quietly so that he wouldn't be overheard by any eavesdropping classmates.
"Explained what?" Keiko questioned, sitting in the vacated desk across from him.
"Kurama was a youko who had lived for several hundred years. However, he was shot by a hunter. His spirit refused to die, so he came to the Humanworld and possessed an unborn child. However, he then forgot about being a demon and about the Demonworld. Instead, he became the human boy, Shuuichi," he said quietly.
Keiko and Yuusuke stared at him for a long moment, both wearing identical expressions of shock on their face. "You mean that the reason you have youki is because you're a reincarnated demon?" Yuusuke finally questioned.
Shuuichi nodded, laughing a little. "It sounds crazy, but the dreams that I've been having were actually memories. I don't know what triggered them, but they've been surfacing bit by bit every night. Last night, I had the dream which explained my death and rebirth," he said.
"That's amazing," Keiko breathed after another long pause.
"What was the dream like?" Yuusuke asked.
"What do you mean?" Shuuichi replied, puzzled.
Yuusuke's brow furrowed. "Did you dream it as Kurama, or as Shuuichi?" he clarified.
"It was entirely through Kurama. However, when I was reborn, I no longer knew myself to be Kurama," Shuuichi explained, knowing that it wasn't the best of answers but unable to come up with anything else.
"What is Kurama like?" Keiko asked.
Shuuichi smiled a little. "Kurama did many things that would be considered bad, but he had a good heart deep inside. Since he is myself, I don't blame him for the things which he's done. I know why he did them. Although many people thought him to be cruel and heartless, he loved someone very deeply," he replied.
All of a sudden, part of the dream registered that he hadn't taken into consideration the night before. He'd been so worked up over his death that he'd forgotten the rest of it. With a gasp, Shuuichi bolted upright in his chair, startling both of his friends.
"What is it?" Yuusuke asked quickly.
"I was so upset over how I had died that I forgot something. Kurama was deeply in love with another demon. They'd been together for almost ten years," he said, his voice montone as he worked over his own awe.
"Do you know who?" Keiko questioned.
Unable to help himself, Shuuichi started laughing. The irony of the situation was not lost on him. "Hiei," he said.
***
Koenma sat back in his seat with a small sigh, nodding slowly. Well, that certainly explained a lot. As Kurama had been a well-known criminal in the Demonworld, the Spiritworld had been keeping a close eye on him. His sudden disappearance had alarmed everyone. Now that he could be identified as Shuuichi, reincarnated, it made everything much more clear.
"This will make things easier for us," he commented.
"Speak for yourself," Hiei growled, spinning away from the desk and continuing with his pacing. He hadn't stood still for one moment since entering the demi-God's office, shifting from the desk to the door to the window and back.
Koenma gave him a sharp look. "Will the revealation of Kurama and Shuuich's identity get in the way of your mission?" he questioned, his tone cool.
Hiei paused at this, then drew himself up and shook his head. Koenma couldn't help a small snicker. Hiei's pride allowed him to be manipulated almost easily. "Of course it won't. You'll get your Spirit Detective out of him, just as you well from those other two humans," he stated.
"Good, because we need to launch our attack in three days," Koenma replied without missing a beat.
The demon in front of him spun around, his eyes wide. "Three days?" he exclaimed.
Taking a deep breath, Koenma nodded. "It seems that Haru has realized our entire plan. He is no longer wasting time. The army will be ready to attack the Humanworld in five days. We need to attack before then," he stated.
"That isn't nearly enough time to get them ready."
"It is all the time we have."
Hiei frowned, but nodded. "I'll have Genkai work with Yuusuke continuously for the next three days. Perhaps Botan will be able to help Yukina train Koenma? As a guide of spirits, she should be able to help him out," he suggested.
"Sounds good to me. What are you going to do with Shuuichi?" Koenma questioned.
Hiei mulled over this for a few moments, then sighed. "The only thing I can do. I will continue to work with him, try to teach him to use the plants as weapons like he used to. With luck, he may even remember how to do it on his own," he stated.
Koenma smiled and nodded. "Do it. Remember, three days," he stated.
Hiei cast him one look before vanishing in a blur of black.
