Chapter 5
Yay! Chapter 5 has come and I am posting it now. Be happy and keep reading even if the story gets kinda weird, which I think it will. Sorry it took so long. I got Youko Kurama on DVD, and I got inspirationalized, my new word.
I want to thank everyone who reviewed especially Kurama Fangirl, lobogirl9, and HieiandTouyalover. Thanks to everyone else whom I am too lazy to mention.
Recap:
"Uh, who are you?" Keiko ventured.
"I'm Aifa Yasha, now shush, this phone is a piece of shit and I need to be able to hear," she answered.
Newness [yes, it's a word because I say it is]:
Cell phone conversation: [I like colons today]
Angel: How are you calling me?! [she has caller id]
Aifa: My phone has service and since Yusuke told me you were here and your phone gets better range than mine, I figured you must have great reception.
Angel: Wait, Yusuke? You mean you're here?! How in the hell-?!
Aifa: Exactly what I wanna know. So you don't know then... damn, I can usually depend on you for answers to stuff like this...
Angel: Well, apparently Koenma has no idea what's going on as usual. He's freakin out. I'm not even allowed up there. The paranoids sent Hiei to follow me when I wanted a little time to think... So far, him, Kurama, and Genkai have been the only ones to stay cool about this. The only good part about this is that I'll miss that algebra 2 and trigonometry test, what a shame. [Okay, she's done ranting... for now... *ominous music plays*]
Aifa: Wait, wait. You met Hiei, Kurama, and Genkai? No fucking fair!
Angel: I gave Hiei chocolate ice cream and made him hyper. What scared me more than the humans' imaginings of what he is like hyper, was what he is really like hyper... it was not a duck-and-cover situation, which makes you think, what was he going to do when he ran off?
Aifa: I'm frightened already. But I still wanna meet him!
Angel: I know you do... you stay at the school. I'll come there.
Aifa: Right.

Angel walked back inside the shrine to see Genkai and Kurama stop talking rather suddenly. "Oh, very subtle," she commented bitterly. "I'm getting dragged in circles today, I have to back over to the school because the portal reopened and transported, ironically enough, my best friend here."
"Koenma must be having seizures," Kurama said, his tone oddly light for the situation.
"Wait till my mother gets this month's phone bill. I hope it's a funny aneurysm," Angel said, making a similar comment. "I knew I should have gotten the pre-paid minute plan... Oh, well. I'm off, so you can go back to talking about me."
Kurama ignored the untroubled sound in her voice and looked beyond, to the hurt hidden behind her eyes. He could tell that she was used to being talked about; she had just learned to try to move on. He felt a little guilty that he had made feel that she needed to. He stood to stop her. "Wait, do you want me to go with you?"
"I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself. I've been doing it for a while," she said dryly and walked back out the sliding doors.
Kurama got up and followed her outside anyway. "You do realize that I was only being polite," he said as he caught up with her.
"I figured as much." She didn't seem upset in the least, though. "But I don't think the real reason is that you are concerned for my safety, is it?"
"Well, partially," he admitted. "But mostly because I have to. I really don't have much of a choice."
"Oh, that makes me feel so much better," her sarcasm was not wasted on him. He did not apologize. As they walked, she began humming the tune to a song he was unfamiliar with.
He could not contain it any longer. For the second time that day, he let curiosity win out over tact. "What song is that?"
"Dearest Angel, by Kur- Ogata Megumi. But it's actually a character song for, well your character actually."
"Is there a reason it is sung a woman?"
"Your seiyuu is a woman, Ogata Megumi," she explained. She saw the slight wince. "Don't think of it that way. She plays a lot of anime men." It was difficult for her to keep from laughing. "If it will make you feel any better, I have some CD's." She pulled out her CD player without waiting for an answer and replaced the Slipknot CD inside with a burned Yu Yu Hakusho CD, one of her favorite mixes. She handed him the player and just kept walking.
"I, ano... Oh, fine," he relented and took the CD player handed to him. Kurama placed the headphones over his ears and hit 'play'. By the time they reached the school, he was just finishing it.
"My, how time flies when I'm watching you listening to music," she said, only half as sarcastic as before.
~Well, it's an improvement... I think,~ Kurama thought to himself as they climbed the stairs to the roof once again. They didn't really need to worry about clothes, since not many people were around this late. (Angel had changed out of the uniform sometime earlier)
"ANGEL-CHAN!!" Angel was barely off the staircase before she was slammed into a wall by a five-foot-tall kitsune.
"Oomph... I need air, Kit," she said to her friend, whose arms were wrapped so tightly around her waist she was sure she was going to need a crowbar to get her off. When the grip loosened enough so Angel could manage to pry the kitsune off her, she spoke again. "How did you get here, Shine'n Swipe?" The other three people on the rooftop looked up at the odd nickname. "If you are lucky, you will never find out why I gave her that name, though I think Kurama should be able to guess..."
Aifa's ears twitched at the mention of Kurama's name. Noticing this, Angel made a suggestion. "Kurama, you may want to run, if you would like to keep all you limbs attached to your body." As she said this, she was holding onto the waistband of Aifa's pants, trying to keep her from turning into a rabid, glomping fangirl. A flicker of fear actually appeared on his face.
"Maybe I'll just stay over here," he said, moving slowly (no sudden movements, she may attack at any time) over to the other side of the roof, as far away from the snarling, yes snarling, kitsune fangirl.
"Bad kitsune, you should know better than to attack bishounen," Angel reprimanded her into a whimpering state and let go of her pants. "I'm afraid to think how she'll react when she meets Hiei..."
"Hiei? Where?" she seemed to snap right out of her whimper.
"Not here, hon. Now, tell me, how did you get here?" Angel tried drawing her attention away from hot anime guys.
"I was minding my own business, you know, just training and shit, when suddenly, I was sucked into some lame-ass portal than burped me up here," she said quickly.
"Interesting choice of words... Anyway," the tri-fire shook her head, trying to get the image of a burping portal out of it. "You know how I don't believe in coincidences? Well, this is one of those non-coincidental situations. I was sucked into a portal when I was about to start training. Did you happen to have just watched Yu Yu Hakusho?"
"Yeah, the Yoko Kurama DVD you gave me," she said, sounding puzzled. "How did you know?"
"I had just watched an old Maze Castle episode," she said, trying to put her pieces together aloud.
"Which part of the Maze Castle mission did you watch?" Kurama asked. He had a small hunch that could b confirmed by her answer.
"The Gate of Betrayal and your..." realization dawned on her face. "Your battle with Genbu, the stone beast."
"You see, don't you?" he said. "We've found the pattern, now we just need the source."
"I don't get it..." Yusuke was having a slow day.
"Watching a battle in which Kurama is fighting the first, in a series of fights, and he gets seriously injured, and then going to train," Aifa explained. "Why is it that those kinds of episodes aren't difficult to find?"
"I always thought it was because Togashi-san had a grudge against the smart one..." Angel grumbled under her breath.

And Scene! Ok, that chapter went from interesting to sad to just plain bizarre in less than five pages, that's gotta be a record or something. Please review! Oh, and sorry for making you seem like a total nutcase, Aifa-chan. And another quick note, both nicknames used: Kit and Shine'n Swipe are real nicknames that I gave the real Aifa. They are now officially © 2003, Angel Youkai
