The Dragon Chapter 9: uhh. . . pass? ~*~*~*~*~*~*
Yukina ran through the portal, wiping away one last tear. She would have gone to Kuwabara's, under other circumstances, but now was not the time. Instead, she opted for heading back to Genkai's, praying that he'd left already.
"Yukina?" Genkai called from her porch. Yukina ran up the last of the stairs.
"Yes, it's me . . . is he gone?" she asked quietly, looking down. Genkai nodded.
"He took her with him, it's all right," Genkai motioned for her to come inside.
Yukina followed, willing to be comforted. "I'll be all right," she said, when Genkai handed her a cup of hot chocolate and let her sit on the sofa.
"All right, Yukina. Just tell me if you want to talk about it," Genkai walked away. Yukina sighed. She really didn't want to talk to Genkai about it. Genkai was a good friend, sure, but for some reason she didn't want to share her feelings with Genkai. A gentle rap on the door startled her, and she stood up to answer it.
"K-Kurama?" Yukina gasped in surprise when she saw the redhead at the door. He grinned at her.
"Yes," he smiled.
"What-?" she asked, confused.
"Have you seen Hiei around? He hasn't come to visit in a few days," Kurama looked a little worried. Yukina blushed deeply at the mention of his name, which scared Kurama a little.
"Y-Yes, he's in Makai," she stepped backward.
"Oh, all right then," Kurama tried to read her face, unable to tell what she was thinking. Genkai walked out from the kitchen, sipping her tea in a nonchalant manner. Yukina and Kurama both wondered for a minute weather she was ALWAYS having tea. More important matters swept their thoughts away, however.
"What's the matter, Kurama?" Genkai asked.
Kurama sighed, "I haven't seen Hiei in a while. I was wondering if he was all right."
Yukina looked away. "Kurama . . ."
"Yes?" he was beginning to become confused. Yukina was almost . . . crying!
"Kuwabara . . . he found someone else . . ." she looked up at him, tears forming in her eyes again. "What do I do?"
He hadn't counted on this. A strong wave of pity overwhelmed him, and he pulled her into a hug. "Yukina, don't worry," he said, "I'll take care of you."
She backed up and looked into his deep green eyes, "You mean that?"
He blinked. "Well, yes. Why wouldn't I?"
"Thank you," she smiled at him and gave him a hug, their warm embrace cheering her up considerably. For some reason, crying on Kurama's shoulder felt so much better than crying on Hiei's. She inhaled deeply. Roses. Kurama smelled of roses. She felt his arm slide around her back, hugging her close.
Genkai backed away, leaving the two alone for a bit. She sipped her tea again, pondering matters. She stood far from them, watching. Cocking her head to one side, she noticed that they looked cute together. Better than with Kuwabara, anyway. Kurama was more suited to her height, at least, though still considerably taller. She smiled and watched them, not realizing that she was spilling her tea all over her shoes. Apparently her hand had found it necessary to follow her head and cock to one side also.
"Genkai, your tea," Kurama muttered eventually, disrupting all the beautiful silence.
Yukina gasped, snapping back to the harsh reality that she lived in. Turning around, she saw that Genkai had, indeed, spilled tea all over her feet. She stifled a giggle.
"I'll get a towel, then," Genkai walked away quietly, thoroughly embarrassed. Once she was out of earshot, Kurama began to laugh. Yukina noticed that he had a deep, rumbling laugh, though quiet, and very pleasant to the ear. She added to the cacophony with her own soft, high-pitched giggles. Kurama smiled at her.
"Are you all right, now?" he asked.
She nodded solemnly, thinking about Hiei. She had hugged him . . . she wondered if that meant anything. A sigh escaped her, because she didn't want it to mean anything.
"What's the matter?" Kurama asked, swaying his body back and forth in a soothing rhythm.
"I'm all right, Kurama, really," she leaned her head against his chest, thinking. She listened to his heartbeat and became captivated, listening to its rhythm. Everything about him right now was methodical. So smooth and rhythmic . . . she closed her eyes and released her problems.
~*~*~*~*~(Makai)
Hiei's chest rose and fell quickly as he caught his breath. He sensed something wrong, but couldn't quite place it. Quickly, he reached up and pulled off his headband, revealing his jagan. He searched for her with the eye, and found her quickly.
"WHAT?!"
Several Makai birds yelled shrilly and flew off, startled by his yelp.
"Kurama . . . with her?!" he said. Frantically leaping up, wondering just how to go about fixing this problem. A deep, cackling laugh from far behind him startled him.
"Show yourself. I have no time for this," he snapped irritably, calming after the sudden disturbance.
"Don't flatter yourself, I don't want to FIGHT you. Its me, stupid," BD walked up to him, a nonchalant aura about her. Hiei didn't like that.
"What's wrong with you? Can't you just go away?" he glared deeply at her, hoping to scare her off. She gazed back into his eyes, watching as a puzzled look graced his features. Exactly what was she looking for in those deep crimson eyes?
She stopped her probing look and glared at him. "No."
He blinked, backing up. "Fine then, have it your way." Hiei walked away from her, headed for Genkai's. He didn't have time for this. There were much more important matters awaiting him at Genkai's temple. A certain redheaded bishounen and his little sister were about to have a very rude interruption.
"Where are you going?" BD demanded, running up behind him and grabbing hold of his shoulder. He pulled away quickly.
"Don't touch me," he snapped.
She growled at him. "Tell me where you're going."
"Why?" he demanded.
"Because you're in no shape to go screwing up your life," she said, matter- of-factly.
"Hn. How would you know?"
She sighed, giving him a "you-should-KNOW-this" look. "I know. You just cried your little heart out. What else IS there to do, but screw up your entire life somehow?"
Hiei blinked a few times, taking this in. He shook his head quickly. "Just mind your own business."
"I won't."
Fuming, he turned sharply to face her, startling her a bit. "Listen, you don't know me. You don't have any right to be sticking your nose where it doesn't belong. If you go away now, I won't kill you," he warned, staring directly into her eyes to show that he meant it. She looked back, giving him that probing look again. He turned away.
"Come on, just tell me, Hiei. Then I'll leave you alone."
"No."
"It's about your sister, isn't it?" she smiled giddily, knowing she'd hit a weak spot. After all, even if it wasn't about his sister, purely mentioning her would do SOMETHING. The poor guy just bawled like a baby for almost an hour.
He sighed. "Don't you EVER go away?"
"No, not really. And why do you always say that?" she smirked. He was getting desperate to get rid of her, which made her all the happier to follow him around.
~*~*~*~*~(Kuwabara residence)
"Amori?" Kuwabara wrung his shirt through his hands nervously, wrinkling it beyond the point of no return. No fabric softener in the world could fix that.
"Yes?"
"You scared Yukina off," he blinked, still quite lost.
Amori smiled at him. "Yes, and now we're alone."
He winced. "Uhh, yeah. I guess so, but Yukina . . ."
"Not quite so alone, punk." Shizuru called out from the kitchen. "Don't get fresh with my brother, or I'll personally see to it that you have an 'accident'."
Amori blinked innocently. "Me? Punk?"
"Shizuru! Stop messing with my friends!" Kuwabara whined.
Shizuru walked into the room, glaring at the both of them. "You don't even know her. What happened to Yukina?" she demanded. Amori cringed at the mention of HER.
"You have no say in this, Shizuru," Kuwabara said. "Besides, Yukina's okay. HIEI took her off someplace."
Shizuru gasped suddenly, dropping her cigarette onto the floor. It burned a little spot into the carpet, until eventually Amori picked it up. "You forgot this," she said nervously, handing it to Shizuru.
"H-Hiei did?" Shizuru took her cigarette and put it back in her mouth, regaining her composure.
"Yeah, why, do you think?" Kuwabara stared at her, wondering why this was such a big deal. Sure, Hiei was allowed to have the hots for Yukina, but Yukina was HIS girlfriend.
Amori blinked a few times. "I don't know, he grabbed her and did this 'whoosh' thing and they were gone," she said.
Kuwabara clenched his fist and nodded in agreement. "I'll kill him."
"Excuse me?" Shizuru asked.
"I . . . will . . . kill him."
Shizuru and Amori sweat dropped and watched his anger mount. "I'll kill that little . . ." Kuwabara trailed off.
"Calm down, baby brother," Shizuru put a hand on his shoulder, trying to calm him.
"Get off! Where'd they go?!"
"I don't know. . ." Amori said truthfully. Kuwabara fumed.
"Well as soon as I get my hands on that little punk . . ." he clenched his fist again and shook it, grinning evilly as he imagined Hiei's painful strangle.
Shizuru backed away slowly. "All right, you do that . . ."
He leapt out of his seat, reaching for the phone to call Yusuke.
~*~*~*~*~*~* (Urumeshi Residence)
Ring. . .
Ring. . .
"Damn it!!" Yusuke shouted.
Ring. . .
Ring. . .
"Yusuke, just get it," Keiko said.
Ring. . .
Ring. .
Ri- "WHAT?!" Yusuke shouted, scaring the pants off Kuwabara.
"Hey, Urumeshi. I got some bad news," Kuwabara gasped, recovering from the sudden outburst.
"What?!" Yusuke snapped grouchily.
"Hiei ran off and stole my girlfriend!!" Kuwabara whined miserably.
Yusuke paused a minute. "He did WHAT now?"
"He grabbed Yukina, did his 'whoosh' thing, and now he's gone!" Kuwabara began to pout like a baby.
"Get a hold of yourself, man!" Yusuke spat. "Calm down!!"
"How would you feel if he'd taken Keiko?!"
Yusuke paused. "I'd wring his neck. But that's besides the point!"
"No it's not," Kuwabara pointed out.
"Shut up."
CLICK.
"What's wrong with Kuwabara?" Keiko inquired.
"How did you know it was him?"
"I just know these things. Besides, you said 'man,' how many people could that be?"
"I see," Yusuke nodded. "Well he- uh . . . nothing."
Keiko cocked an eyebrow and stared at him. "Oh. Okay, then . . ."
"Now, where were we?" he slid his arm around her waist and hugged her close. She giggled and turned the volume back up on the TV. Atsuko smiled from the kitchen, watching the pair on the couch.
"Aah, young love," she sighed.
"What was that?" Yusuke demanded.
"Oh, uh . . . nothing," she sweat dropped and smiled innocently.
After a few minutes of thinking about it, he decided to get up and go to Kuwabara's. Yusuke wasn't one to leave his best friend hanging.
"Where are you going . . .?" Keiko asked, looking upset.
"To Kuwabara's, want to come?" he invited.
"Sure!"
~*~*~*~*~*(Kuwabara Residence)
DING-DONG.
"AAH!"
"Calm down, stupid. It's the doorbell." Shizuru pointed. "Go get it."
Yusuke knocked impatiently at the door until Kuwabara pulled it open. "What- oh! Hey, Urumeshi," Kuwabara greeted.
"Hello," Amori smiled shyly from behind him.
"Who is this?" Keiko asked.
"My name is Amori. Yours?"
"Keiko."
"Yusuke."
"Kuwabara."
"DUH!" they all shouted at once.
" . . .Oh. I knew that."
"Well, now that we all know each other, what's up, Yusuke?" Shizuru grinned politely, walking up behind Kuwabara and Amori.
"We were going to head for Genkai's temple," Yusuke started.
"We were?" Keiko asked.
"Yes."
"W-Why?" Kuwabara asked.
Yusuke sighed, "The things I put up with . . . you should know, idiot!"
"All right, let's fix the problem!" Amori clenched her fist, a determined look in her eyes.
"Problem?" Keiko asked, completely left in the dark.
"It's a long story," Kuwabara said truthfully; sweat dropping and rubbing the back of his neck nervously.
"So, let's go!" Shizuru smiled and led them out the door.
~*~*~*~*~*(Genkai's temple)
"More guests?! At this hour?!" Genkai frantically bustled about the kitchen, making more tea.
All of the 'guests' now sat outside on her porch, the starry night sky overhead creating a pretty atmosphere.
(A/N: in case you're s-l-o-w . . . the guests consist of Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Keiko, Amori, and Yukina.)
Kuwabara continually glanced over at Yukina, who would in turn hug Kurama. Amori caught this, and hugged Kuwabara tightly.
Eventually, he piped up, "You're strangling me . . ."
"Oh, sorry."
Kurama sweat dropped. He could feel the tension in the air. Kuwabara wasn't quite sure who to hate now, Kurama or Hiei. However, he wasn't about to stand up to either of them. However better he was, Hiei and Kurama were always scary opponents.
"So. . . what's going on?" Yusuke openly discussed the problem, as Kuwabara, Yukina, and Amori gasped in horror.
"Well, you see . . ." Amori started.
"She came along and . . ." Yukina continued.
"They're fighting over me!" Kuwabara seemed to have hit a conclusion. And he was damn proud of it, too.
Yusuke smiled gleefully. He was enjoying this. "So what of Hiei?"
Yukina gasped, clutching Kurama for protection. She'd grown quite attached to the redhead in the past few minutes.
"What OF Hiei?" Hiei's voice loomed above them, from one of the many trees surrounding Genkai's temple. They all jumped, backing up.
Hiei was pissed, and he wasn't about to let ANYBODY forget it.
