Is it you?
I don't own yu yu hakusho.
Rinku, Chuu, Touya, and Jin are walking along in the Makai together.
Rinku: My feet hurt, could you carry me Chuu?
Chuu: your feet are fine; you can walk plenty well enough on your own.
Rinku: hm. darn it.
All of the sudden they hear a loud bang, somewhat like a gunshot followed by a loud scream coming from the forest. It sounded like a female scream in pain.
Jin: What was that?
Touya: I don't know but it sounded like someone was in pain.
Rinku: I sounded like a girl.
Chuu: why don't we go check it out?
Jin: not like we have anything better to do.
They all walk off the path and into the dense forest and bush until they make it to a break in the trees. Rinku was behind all of them. Chuu gets there first. A small pale figure lay pinned to a tree. It was a nude woman with one nail in each shoulder, one in the palm of her right hand, one in the upper arm of her left arm, one through her ankle, and one right through her abdomen. Two low level yokai are standing in front of the bloodied woman. The woman is motionless. Chuu grabs Rinku's head, as he's just about to make it into the clearing.
Chuu: this isn't for children's eyes.
Rinku: but I wanna see!
Touya: Chuu's right.
Rinku: fine.
As soon as the other two yokai see Chuu, Touya, and Jin they run away with something leathery in their arms. Chuu walks up to the woman on the tree. She has scales in various places on her body, somewhat like a snake. Chuu looks at her face. Her eyes are closed.
Chuu: pity, she looks nice enough-
But her motionless face springing to life and biting his hand with her long fangs cuts him off. Chuu rips back his hand and stares at the four perfectly imprinted puncture wounds.
Jin: huh? I thought she was dead?
Chuu: apparently not.
Chuu stumbles backwards and falls to the ground. Touya looks concerned.
Touya: Are you okay Chuu?
Chuu: fine, just a little woozy.
Woman: (in a raspy sort of hiss) help me. Please, I am sorry; if you help me I will help you.
Jin: why would we need your help?
Woman: (panting) because he will die. I injected him with poison by accident; I thought he was one of them. I can help him get it out.
Jin: why should we trust you after you bit him in the first place?
Woman: there is no reason but you have to help me down.
Jin: we're not going to help you down after that. How do we know you won't just bite us all?
Woman: you do not. Fine, I will just get down myself.
The woman takes a deep breath and pulls her right hand to the flat part of the nail. She pulls on it with her hand still through it. It comes out of the tree she is pinned to. She then proceeds to do this with every one except the one right in her abdomen. All the others can do is watch this horrific event. She puts her left hand on the nail and the nail loses its grip on the tree and she falls to the ground with silent thump. She curls up into a small ball and lies there motionless. Chuu is now panting heavily from the venom. The woman moans in pain. You can see two bloody stumps on the back of her shoulder blades.
Chuu: what's *pant* in that venom a yours *pant*?
Touya: Are you all right Chuu?
Chuu: I dunno. Ask her.
Woman: *moan* now I have no reason to help you *moan*
Rinku: Can I look now?
Jin: do whatever ya like; just be warned it's kinda bloody.
Woman: a child?
Jin: yeah you got a problem with that?
Woman: *moan* no, I just.
Rinku: hey, are you okay? What happened to you?
Woman: Rinku?
Rinku: do I know you?
Woman: *moan* I do not blame you if you do not. but I used to help you. *moan* I took care of you for a short while.
Rinku: Midori-Roku? (Me-doe-ree--row-koo)
Midori: Rinku, it is you, I thought that in my status I was delirious and hallucinating.
Touya: you know her Rinku?
Rinku: yes, and I never knew what happened to her after I found you guys. I stayed with her for a year and then she disappeared one day. Then a while after that you showed up. What ever happened to you Midori-Roku?
Midori: I fear my time may run out before I am able to. But will start for I am sure that is much more fulfilling than nothing. I remember that day, I had to leave, I had promised an underworld demon crime ring a favor and they had taken me up on it. I was to create an antidote for a new swill that they had created but were unable to control its influence. I *moan*
Rinku: Midori-Roku! Are you okay?
Midori: no, but there is nothing that I can do about it.
Rinku: (tearing up) what does that mean?
(Me: yes I know. sob sob, oh well DEAL WITH IT PEOPLE I AM!)
Midori: I will tell you the story now, and explain it later if I have the time. But first I have to help your friend if I am not mistaken.
Rinku: Chuu?
Chuu doesn't look so good, he's sweating a lot and Touya is trying to help him. Jin is just looking on with caution.
Midori: I am not sure that I can move to him. If he can come over here then I can help him.
Touya helps Chuu over to Midori-Roku, Midori-Roku opens her mouth and re- bites his hand in the same place she bit him in the first place, the veins around where she bit him were a sickish green but the color seems to be seeping out back into Midori-Roku's mouth. She lets go and Chuu gets up unsteadily.
Chuu: I'm just glad she didn't put more in.
Midori: I would not do that to one of Rinku's new friends. After all you are all he has.
Rinku: but what about you? I have you now don't I?
Midori: for now, but I fear not much longer.
Rinku: what can I do to make you better?
Midori: if you wanted to talk to me longer you could get these spikes out but it would not make too much of a difference, I would just die of something besides blood loss.
Rinku: you can't die! Not after I've found you after all this time! That would be mean!
Midori: hm. (Smiles)
Rinku slowly pulls one of the spikes out of Midori-Roku's shoulder and drops it heavily to the ground; her skin grew back together quickly and stopped bleeding.
Jin: wow, that would be nice to have. But why did you say that you would die anyway?
Rinku: only her skin heals, not her flesh, it's like if she got stabbed in the heart and you took it out her skin would heal up but her heart would still be bleeding on the inside.
Rinku continues to pull out more spikes and watch her skin peel together. Finally after about a minute of silence Rinku finished pulling out spikes and helped Midori-Roku to sit up against a tree.
Midori: thank you Rinku. I appreciate it.
Rinku: what are you going to do now?
Midori: I do not know really, but I get the feeling pretty soon nothing at all.
Rinku: stop saying things like that! You're not going to die!
Midori: whatever you say.
Rinku: wait here a second won't you?
Midori: Sure.
Rinku runs up to Jin, Chuu, and Touya. They all look down at him wiping his eyes. He stares up at them for a moment and then Jin gets it.
Jin: oh no ya don't! We can't do that!
Chuu: do what?
Jin: he wants us to bring her with us! I sure as heck know I don't wanna be carrying around no dead corpses today!
Chuu: you want us to bring her with us?
Rinku: just till she gets better. If we leave her here all alone she will die!
Touya: does she really mean that much to you?
Rinku: *sniffle* yes.
Jin: I ain't carryin' her!
Rinku: so we can bring her!
Chuu: I guess. But you gotta help with her, we're not just doing it all for you and you just sit there and watch.
Rinku: Thank you so much!
Rinku jumps up and runs back to Midori-Roku who is sitting there placidly staring off into space with her arms crossed over her, bloody, pale, nude body.
Rinku: Midori-Roku! They said that you could come with us!
Midori: what? You want me to come with you? Why would you want me to go with you?
Rinku: because you were the person that helped me become who I am now.
Midori: I do not want to be a burden. You can just leave me here. Besides I am not much use without my wings.
Rinku: they took your wings!
Midori: yes and I would not want to be a burden so you can just leave me here.
Rinku: no I can't, we already said that you could come with us. But we have to get you something to wear.
Rinku thinks for a moment.
Midori: see I am already a burden to you.
Rinku: no you're not. I just have to think.
Midori: if you could get me a snake then I could-
Rinku: yeah, that's it. I'll get you a snake.
Rinku runs back up to the others, they look down again.
Jin: what is it now squirt?
Rinku: I need a snake.
Touya: why would you need a snake?
Rinku: for her.
Chuu: how do you expect us to get you a snake?
Rinku: well I know where one is but I can't reach it.
Touya: where?
Rinku: (points above Jin's head) right there.
Jin: *screams then moves somewhere else* why didn't ya tell me earlier?!
Rinku: just somebody grab it, it won't bite you.
Chuu reaches up and grabs the large snake by the tail and pulls it down slowly and carefully. He then abruptly drops it into Rinku's outstretched arms. The snake is a very long but thin snake with a typical small spotted pattern and a rounded head.
Rinku: thanks!
Touya: that was a little odd.
Jin: I just wanna get goin'.
Rinku runs up to Midori-Roku with the long snake and lets it go in her lap. The serpent slithers its way around her hips several times and then creeps around her chest covering up her breasts.
Rinku: there. Now how are you going to walk?
Midori: I do not really think that I can.
Rinku: (turning and shouting at Chuu) hey Chuu?
Chuu: aye?
Rinku: Can you help her walk?
Chuu: you mean carry don't you?
Rinku: yes, that's what I meant. Can you?
Chuu: (walking over) fine.
Chuu picks up Midori-Roku and starts walking back towards the path, the others follow.
A.N. Well if you want more I want you to review. If you don't I probably won't like it myself and well. this is only my second yu yu hakusho fanfic but I might write a couple more. So if you want to see more then review. Midori-Roku is my own character so. yeah. Just review.
I don't own yu yu hakusho.
