Chapter Six



Kurama was sitting in a restaurant with Hiei, Yusuke, and Kuwabara; they were eating their food with chopsticks.

       "I hate using these." Hiei said spearing a vegetable with one of his chopsticks.

       "We usually use sporks." Yusuke said.

       "Sporks? You mean those fork and spoon things?" Kuwabara asked.

       "Yeah, that's what we usually eat with." Yusuke said, Kurama got up and left the restaurant.

       "Where's he going?" Kuwabara asked.

       "He muttered something about going to get sporks from the store down the road." Hiei said.

       **********

       I walked down the road, nothing amazing happens here anymore. Ever since the day with the last robot Medical Mechanica has done nothing but blow steam. The entire town is cover in it, as if there is no outside world out there. And the hand next to the plant is like, 'Stop, you aren't going anywhere." The hand. It's like the left hand of a judge or an executioner getting ready to give the signal for an execution.

       Haruko and Kanchi left, no where to be found....It makes me wonder if they're out there somewhere. I miss her, I cry every night now. Hiei cries too. He doesn't think I know, but I have found his tear gems.

       *************

       Kurama was walking through a construction site later on that day, drinking a drink.

       "You drink the sour kind now? Does that make you feel grown up?" He looked; at the top of a stack of huge pipes was Amarao on his scooter.

       "Huh." Kurama watched him.

       "Raharu? Er, you know her as Haruko. Do you know why she left?" Amarao asked.

       "No, why would I care?" Kurama asked.

       "You care, I know you do. Anyway, Medical Mechanica captured the Pirate King, Atomsk. Normally he and Raharu would be mortal enemies, but there's an exception. She's in love with him." Kurama refused to believe him, he watched two cats rub against each other, "Cats should stick with other cats, it's only natural. Just to make sure!" He slapped something on Kurama's head and then drove off.

       "What in the hell?" He put his hand on his forehead; there was nothing wrong until he got to his eyebrows. They were like Amarao's! He ran to his house.

       **********

       Hiei was sitting under a bridge next to a large river, playing with Yusuke's cell phone that he had stole. Mud and water were dripping from him because he had been slashed by a guy on a motorcycle. Something crawled out of the river and shook off. Hiei snuck over to it, it looked like a micro chip with legs. He sat back down and resumed pressing buttons. The chip began to dance and jump around.

       "You're happy." He said, the thing snatched the cell phone from his hand and began to play with it, "Hey! Stop!" It stopped.

       "Never mind, you can have it." The thing looked at him then at the cell phone. It sucked the cell phone into what looked like a mouth and ate it. It doubled in size, "From now on your name is Kurama."

       ***********

       Kurama had fallen asleep when he got home. He woke up after sunset, he could smell dinner. He yawned and walked into the kitchen.

       "So glad you could join us." Someone said, it was Haruko!

       "Ahhhh!" Kurama's new eyebrows fell off, "You?!?"

       "Shuichi, I forgot to tell you, Haruko asked for a little time off to go to Hawaii." His mom said.

       "I brought back spicy fish eggs!" Haruko said.

       "Spicy fish eggs don't come from Hawaii! And why would a wanted criminal take a vacation?!?" Kurama asked.

       "Next time, I want to be all alone with you, Shuichi!" Haruko said.

       "Like I would ever go!" Kurama said.

       "You're blushing!" She swung her guitar at him.

       "Ahhh!" He ran off to his room.

       ***********

       Kurama was lying in his bed; Haruko was already asleep on her futon.

       "Where did you go? Why didn't you tell me? He looked over and realized Haruko was sitting up with a mischievous grin on her face, "Why are you still up?"

       "The question is why are you still up? About to confess your undying love for me?" She grinned.

       "No." Kurama looked away. She stood up and with amazing acrobatics flipped and landed in front of his bed. She sat down.

       "It's okay now Shuichi." He just about threw himself in her arms.

       "Where did you go? You left without saying anything." He cried. She stared off out the window.

       "And I'll leave again....Wanna come?" She asked.

       "Really?" He dried his eyes.

       "Yes." She smiled, she whole time her bracelet to find Atomsk was clicking.

       ***********

       Hiei was throwing cell phones to 'Kurama,' by now it was already taller than his knees.

       "Eat up, just about everyone in this town has one. And I can easily get them for you." the new 'Kurama' seemed to be having trouble eating them, "Maybe they're too small, let's go find something bigger.

       *********     

       Kurama was on Haruko's scooter, they were riding down a scenic road, both were happy. Both were enjoying themselves.

       "Having fun Shuichi?"

       "Yeah, but you can call me Kurama now."

       "I'll remember that."

       *********

       Hiei was standing next to a motorcycle, the one that splashed him.

       "Yeah, this is the one." 'Kurama' was on a leash, he looked at the motorcycle then at Hiei, "Eat it, it's your." It attacked the motorcycle, slinging it around. It would give a light pull at the leash. It swallowed the motorcycle and doubled in size.

       "Let's go find another."

       **********

       Yusuke and Kuwabara were standing in their school yard.

       "Kurama has gone missing." Kuwabara said.

       "Yep, I heard that his teacher was going to go talk to his mom." Yusuke said.

       "Where do you think he is?"

       "I don't know, but Hiei is missing too."

**********

Haruko and Kurama were eating instant ramen while leaning against her vespa.

       "Yuk!" Haruko spat out some of her ramen.

       "You can't just get some random brand just because it's bigger, you have to stick to the good stuff." Kurama said.

"Trade me!" Haruko swapped them out and began to eat his ramen.

"Hey, that's mine!" He yelled, he tried some of the other ramen, "Ew! This is really nasty! Trade me back!"

"No." She said, "Just look at it this way, sometimes eating ramen that tastes bad can be fun."

"You're so childish." He smiled; she winked at him and smiled back.

*******

Amarao and Kitsurubami were in her car looking at twisted and ripped remains of wire and metal.

"Commander, they couldn't find the terminal core." She said.

"Damn, that means the terminal core is functioning on its own." He said squeezing a green stress ball.

"Something bad is going to happen, isn't it commander?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean the hand and iron."

"Medical Mechanica? Yes, the hand wants to grab it, to activate it."

"Is it going to work this time? Will it flatten the wrinkles of the brain?"

"I don't know."

"It Atomsk going to stop it?"

"I wouldn't count on it."

"Okay."

*********

Yusuke passed a bench, Haruko's scooter was there. He walked around to the other side; Kurama and Haruko were sleeping in a sleeping bag on the bench. He shook his head and walked away.

*********

Yusuke and Kuwabara were walking in an alley; they stopped to examine someone's nice car.

"I heard people's motorcycles were getting trashed." Kuwabara said.

"Yep."

"Come on Kurama, someone is going to see you!" Hiei was pulling on a leash.

"It's Hiei!" Kuwabara was about to run over to him, but 'Kurama' came out and growled. He was ten times the size of Hiei! It jumped and attacked the car.

"No Kurama! Bad boy! The car isn't on my hate list!" Hiei yelled.

"Ahhh!" Kuwabara ran out of the alley with Yusuke.

********

"So Kitsurubami, what do you do in your free time?" Amarao asked.

"I don't want to talk about it." She said.

"Come on, we're both civilized people." He put his hand over hers, about that time 'Kurama' came out of the alley, Hiei was attached to him.

"Commander, what is that?!?"

"It's the terminal core! He's been feeding it!" They dove out of the car as it picked it up and began to shake it. They fired at it. Amarao realized he was leaning against someone, he looked. It was Kanchi! In a green skirt! "It's him!"

"In a green skirt?" Kitsurubami asked. 'Kurama' got close to Kanchi and the two fused.

"Damn! He was part of the terminal core!" Amarao got stuck to the new 'Kurama' It had a big black mouth, with rows of teeth, and a caterpillar like body. It made its way to Medical Mechanica.

*******

Kurama and Haruko were heading towards Medical Mechanica when the terminal core jumped over them. Kurama looked at it questioningly.

"It's the climax!" Haruko shouted.

********

The thing landed on the big hand's palm, Amarao had gotten free, he watched it. It just squirmed at the hole Kanchi had made with Atomsk's guitar.

"It's still missing something!" He shouted, Haruko's vespa came flying over him, "Oh no you don't!" He shot his gun; the vespa was knocked out from under them.

"Oh!" They hit the ground. The steam made it hade to see. Kurama was the first one Amarao saw, the Haruko.

"Where's your eyebrows? I told you not to trust her!" He said, "She's just using you to get what she wants!" Kurama just ignored him and turned around walking over to Haruko. He looked at her; she put her arms around his waist and pulled him close. He laid his forehead against her forehead.

"It's time to get what I want Shuichi, but I need your help, so….." She threw him up and slammed him with her guitar, "Eat up!"

"No!" The terminal core ate Kurama; it changed colors and went inside the hole. It closed up and Atomsk's symbol appeared, clicking as if doing a combination. The hand started to move, "This is the end! It's over! It's all over! You're flattening planets all over the galaxy! Smoothing out the wrinkles so you can't think!"

"I don't care what happens to this planet! I just want Atomsk!" She shouted, her eyes were glowing red and her teeth were huge and pointy, "I guess people are going to have to think smooth!" The hand began to reach for the plant.

"It's the end!" He tried to grip the hand, "I can't hold on to these wrinkles!"

******

"Commander! Commander Amarao!" Kitsurubami shouted into her phone. The hand slammed onto the plant, there was a glowing red light.

********

"Here he is!" Haruko said, floating in the air.

********

Amarao was sitting on the plant; Kanchi was holding the hand back. He threw the hand off. Something began to come out of his screen. It was Kurama! He pulled himself out and stood up on top of Kanchi. His eyes were glowing red, his face was funny looking, and he had a red aurora around him He had Atomsk's symbol on his forehead!. He had Atomsk's guitars in his hands, the EB-0 in his left and the Flying V in his right.

"He did it! He got the powers of the Pirate King, Atomsk!" Amarao yelled.

"Err! Damn it, Shuichi! You can't have those powers! They're mine! Only one of us can eat him and that's going to be me!" She attacked Kurama, every time the guitars hit there would be a loud boom and a flash of light, "Don't think I'm going to go easy on you Shuichi!" They continued to collide into one another, both flying in the air. Kurama caught her guitar in one hand and slammed her onto the plant with the fused guitar in his other hand.

"That's it!" Amarao shouted. Haruko hit the plant hard.

"That guitar!" She growled. Kurama came flying towards her; she stood up and shifted uncomfortably. He was going to hit her! She stared at him as he swung the guitar. There was a loud boom noise; he had stopped himself from hitting her. There was a big red power halo around them. He looked up at her; his face was back to normal.

"I love you." He said, he leaned out and kissed her. She was very confused.

"No! Fight her! Take her out!" Amarao shouted. Kurama stepped back as something huge stared to come out of his forehead. It was a huge bird!

"Atomsk!" Haruko said. It began to glow as things started floating. There was a strange noise.

"N. O.!" Amarao's eyebrows peeled off. The giant hand was sucked into the bird's aurora! The bird then became a glowing ball that shot off into the sky.

*******

Hiei poked his head out of some rubble.

********

Kurama watched Haruko, she was on her vespa, it was hovering. She had Atomsk's hybrid guitar shouldered.

"I lost him again because of you Shuichi." She put her goggles on.

"You're leaving me again?" He asked, there was a long pause.

"You wanna come?" There was another long pause, "Forget it, you're still young….Save it for next time Kurama." She was gone. He noticed her guitar on a tall part of the debris; he climbed on top of it and picked it up. He stood there, staring up at the sky.

******

Yusuke was standing there with his camera; he whipped it to his eye.

'Click!'

********

Kurama had cried himself to sleep in his room. Haruko's guitar was in the corner.

'Bong….'
