Chapter Two: A Fight
Death smirked and jumped out of the tree it had been sitting in. Death was not tall, but pretty short. She was about 2 centimeters taller than Hiei. Death's red eyes glowed in the darkness as it threw off it's black cloak that had covered Death's whole body. Kuwabara, Botan and Yuskue gasped while Hiei and Kurama simply widened their eyes in surprise. Death was a girl! She had fairly tanned skin, and had some sort of tattoo of a black panther with a red dragon on her arm. Her hair was completely black and it fell to her shoulders, straight. She was wearing a black tube top that showed her shoulders and a red bead necklace with a matching black skort that had a red dragon twisting up the right side, with two hidden pockets and a black sheath with a sword strapped to the side with a loose black belt. Her shoes were no different, simple weightless black shoes designed for quick movement. Claws replaced nails and she had long front fangs that resembled a vampire's. Her posture was straight. Kurama, Hiei and Botan could tell that she was not fashion-conscious, but cocky and confident. As she stood watching them, they all notice the cut over her left eye and another cut on her shoulder that went all the way across to her other shoulder, and around her neck. "So, are you going to stand there all day or are you goin to fight me?" She said with an unrecognizable accent. Hiei smirked and stepped forward. "I'll fight you." He replied. They both got into a battle stance. Hiei had his sword out and held it with a hand in front of him while Death took her sword out too. It was long, bloodred with a black hilt. She held it in front of her; one hand on the hilt and one on the tip. She smirked and vanished. "Where'd she go?" Kuwabara asked franticly. "She jumped." Kurama answered. They looked up and could see that Death was in the air with her sword pointing towards Hiei. In a split- second the swords clashed and Death pushed off and did a flip onto the ground. The battle started.
Both Death and Hiei were panting slightly. Suddenly Death had her sword barely touching the flesh on Hiei's neck when the beads glowed. She was jerked back by some unseen force. "What the?!" She tried to attack Hiei again, but this time she was thrown into a large boulder. Yuskue and Kuwabara flinched as they heard the loud thud, but Death jumped away from the rock and sliced it in half out of fury. "This stupid thing!" She cried out and tugged on the necklace. It didn't budge. "So you're the Forbidden Child." She glared at Hiei. They were all confused. "Plainly, I can't hurt you because of a dead, annoying, and ugly witch." She said it out loud as she sheathed her sword and began to walk away after glaring at Hiei. "Wait, where are you going?" Yuskue yelled. "None of your business ningen!" She turned her head and the first thing she saw was Hiei's sword. "You will come with us." He said dangerously. "No. I'd rather actually die than go to that stupid toddler." She replied as her eyes narrowed. Hiei smirked and suddenly all Death could see was darkness.
"What happened?" Death stirred out of her 'sleep' courtesy of Hiei. She looked around. She was in a cell protected by some sort of barrier. If she were at full strength she would have been able to break it. "So you are finally awake." Someone said, causing Death to look sharply at him. It was Kurama in his human form. "So do you have a real name I may call you by?" He asked politely. "Kutso. My name is Kutso." She replied, turning her head away. "Why are you here?" She asked. "I was the only one that volunteered to take you to Koenma." He replied, smiling. "Might as well. Now that I'm captured I can't do anything." She shrugged and walked through the now-gone barrier. "This way." He motioned for her to follow. She walked behind him silently. Her shoulders slumped forward slightly and she kept tugging at the necklace, trying to get it off.
"Kurama, I didn't think you'd get here so fast." Koenma said. "Kutso woke up early." He replied. "Who's Kutso?" Kuwabara asked. "I'm Kutso, kikio." Kutso muttered, still tugging at the necklace. "The reason I called all of you here is because a prophecy is about to be fulfilled. It states that in one day two humans in Louisee Contano are going to unleash a powerful monster called the Kohua Shita. Also, it says that the one in darkness, one of Bakluda's own, is the only one that can defeat it." "So you think that Death is the one?" Botan asked. "My name is Kutso." Kutso interrupted. "Yes, but I don't know about Bakluda. You will travel to Louisee Contano in the morning." He said, changing the subject. "Cool! No school!" Yuskue exclaimed. "Kikio." Kutso muttered.
"Ki corantes savia o eslivo mae." Kutso told the cart person. They were all on a plane. "O contaro essa wa?" "Ea." Kutso replied. The cp handed her a bag of some sort of bars. "Yous cavio." Kutso replied. She opened the bag and pulled out a dark brown rectangular food bar and crunched on it, her fangs biting into the hard exterior. "What is that?" Kurama asked curiously from her left. "It is a type of energy bar meant for demons." She replied. "May I have one?" "Sure." She handed him one. He took a bite out of it. "These are very good." "I know. I used to liv-" She cut off her sentence and resumed eating. Kurama stared at her but turned away, not wanting to press her further. "Hiei, want some?" She asked Hiei, who was in the seat across from her. "Hn." "What's that supposed to mean? Look, they aren't poisonous. I'm eating one." "Hn." "Whatever." Kutso sighed and resumed munching on the bars. The rest of the ride was in silence, with the occasional growl from Kutso when Kuwabara tried to snatch her bars.
"Koko Isimua!" "She said we're here." Kutso explained. "Yous cavio." Kutso replied as they got off the plane. "Here, if you want to I can help you guys understand this language." "Umm. Okay." Yuskue shrugged. Kutso smiled innocently and four small spirit dragons appeared. "Close your eyes!" She giggled and the dragons flew down everyone's throat. "Ko cavio kortez?" "Yes." Everyone answered. Kutso grinned as they realized that they could understand what Kutso had said. "It won't last too long, so we better get moving." Kutso started to walk away. "Wait, where are you going?" Kurama asked. "To my ho- To our hotel." She quickly corrected herself and changed her direction slightly. "Follow me, detectives, if you do not wish to get lost. Oh, and you two ningens, stay close to me or someone might have a good meal." She grinned at Yuskue and Kuwabara. "Look behind you." They both looked over their shoulders and stumbled forward right out of two demons' grasps. "Fia wry drio ioar!" Kutso yelled at them as she bared her teeth threateningly. The male demon saw her tattoo and crept back into the shadows, followed by the other one. "Told you to stay close." She smiled innocently and whisked away towards a stone castle that was all black.
"Koko Isimua!" Kutso said, trying to hide the happiness in her voice. "Lady Kutso? Is that you?" A male demon asked as he guarded the entrance. "Yes it is." Kutso grinned. "You're back! Come in Lady Kutso!" Kutso winked at the group. "These are a few friends." She explained to the guard. "Come in friends of Lady Kutso! You are welcomed into the house of Kosimura!" He smiled and the large wooden doors opened. "You ALWAYS have to be so dramatic, don't you?" Kutso rolled her eyes at the demon. He chuckled. "Thanks for coming and have a nice day!" He chuckled again as they walked in.
"Wow. It's. beautiful." Kurama said in awe as they looked around. The entrance hall was carved out of white marble. There was a fountain directly in front of them and to the left was a check in/out counter. To the right was an elevator and a lake full of Kikahashi that slipped under the wall. Kikahashi are fish that have a tail like a dolphin along with a fin, but they have different colored scales like purple and silver. They can grow up to 4 feet long but usually only 2 feet. "Welcome to the Kosimura Hotel. May I have your name?" The clerk demon didn't even look up as she said this. Kutso grinned. "Kutso Kosimura." The clerk jumped. "Kutso? Kutso! Welcome back! Things have been too dull around here without you!" "I know. I plan to stay this time too." Kutso replied. "Give me the keys to my room and I need the keys to the other SS." She commanded. The clerk smiled and opened a drawer. She handed two gold keys to Kutso. "Here boys. This is the key to your rooms." Kutso dropped a key into Kurama's hand. "Elevator, floor 10, room 315. Go on! I'll be there in a sec." She slipped away quietly towards the back door. Her black cloak flowed against an unseen wind as the boys walked away.
"Lily." Kutso whispered as she looked up at the sky. "I wish you were here. That would make my life much more enjoyable." She sighed and looked down. "Hiei, why do you sulk so much?" She asked without looking behind her. "Hn." "Do you have anyone to care for? Anyone at all?" She turned her head. Her eyes were not glittering and she seemed sad. Hiei was taken back by this question. He thought for a moment. "Yes." "Then why do you sulk so much? I have no family. I have no friends. No, those people that I talked to are not friends. They work for me. I never knew my parents. I don't know who they are, or what they are. My brother died. My sister is trapped in a place no one can get her from. You should have the least a shred of happiness. I don't." She looked back up to the sky. Hiei thought she was going to cry. "I don't know why. But I cannot cry. Not if you're dead. Not if you're alive. The only reason I live. Is because I have some hope that you'll be back someday. Someday you'll come back to me." Her eyes glistened but no tears fell. "It was a lullaby I would sing to my sister before she died. I cannot cry. Never. But I don't know why I cannot cry." She turned around and started to walk away. "I wish I could die."
AHAHAHAHAHA! Cliffie! Again! I am so EEEVIL! Spell check said it's a word! ^_^
