Chapter 6-Rejection
"Kurama!" gasped Aure. They both stood where they were, as if frozen in time. They wind blew around them and the snow glittered like diamonds. Finally, Kurama said with a deep breath, "Hello again Aure." Everything grew silent. Aure steadily got up and said in the same even voice, "Yes. It's nice to see you too Kurama." Then she turned around and walked away coldly, disappearing into the trees. The wind blew again, and the branches drooped, sad and resentful. Kurama sighed once more, but a small smile appeared on his face. She still had the crystal rose petal.
Aure's walk turned into a trot. Then a run. She ran as if she wanted to run away from her problems. She ran away to get into her warm home, where her friendly friends were…but, the forest did not let her escape so easily. Skidding to a stop, in front of her was Leiko, glaring at her with blood red eyes. Leiko did not attack her, but said with a threathing face, "You stay away from Kyoshi. He is mine only and I will not tolerate anyone becoming even close to him." Aure's face showed no expression, but her eyes turned a fierce yellow. Then she said in a venomous voice, "I have no intention of bothering your relationship with him. To be more exact, I don't want to have any business with your and Yusuke's fight. Just leave us alone." Leiko's eyes flickered and she said with a bit of satisfaction, "Fine with me." Aure nodded and Leiko shimmered out of sight. Then Aure collapsed on the snow, crying silently. She never turned down an offer for someone's help, even if it was a silent one, but she couldn't allow herself to help this time. She didn't want to cause any distractions. It isn't her fight, it isn't her business. She didn't want her real friends to get hurt.
Later that day, after nine o'clock, the YYH team met together again. "Find anything?" Yusuke asked with a yawn. Everyone shook their heads…except for Kurama. His mind was somewhere else, drifting. Yukina walked toward him and said in a kind voice, "Are you alright Kurama?" Kurama seemed to flinch and nodded without looking at her. Boton just shrugged at Yusuke with curiosity in her eyes. Then Yusuke looked over the trees and made a huge yawn. "We should go to sleep now!" Yusuke noted, "Well see ya guys in the morning!" Then Yusuke crept into bed. Soon Kuwabara followed, then Boton, and finally Yukina, but Hiei jumped out of the shadows and narrowed his eyes at Kurama. "You saw her, didn't you?" he said. Kurama shifted his eyes at Hiei and nodded. "She…she was different somehow…It's not like her to walk out when a conversation has started." Hiei looked at the luminous moon and whispered, "She saw that demon girl right after she saw you." For a few seconds alarm flickered on Kurama's face. Hiei ignored this and continued, "She doesn't want to be in contact with us. She is very stubborn about the idea because of her and her friends, she might cause us pain." Kurama's eyes drooped. "Just when I saw her again, it just gets worse." Hiei didn't respond, but in a flash of black, he disappeared. Kurama then walked out of his team's camp and decided to take a walk.
"Er…Aure? You okay?" Zelia asked as she stared at her friends face. Aure woke up from her daze and blinked at them. Mariah glanced at Zelia and said with concern, "You've been pretty quiet ever since you came back. Did something happen?" Aure shook her head and smiled at them. "Nothing important." Aure said quietly. The two others girls looked at each other.
"We know something happened Aure." said Zelia.
"Yeah, we weren't born yesterday." agreed Mariah.
Aure smiled at them once more. Her eyes were a soft blue. "I met Kurama today." Zelia stiffened and Mariah growled, "Did he do something bad to you?!" Aure shook her head. "No." "Then what?" said Zelia. "I'll tell you some other time." Aure plainly said as she set her dinner plate inside the sink. Then exactly after she set the plate down, a flash of light appeared through the windows and a yell of pain could be heard. The girls looked at each other an immediately went out to the balcony.
"Let me at him!" Zelia roared as she attempted to climb down, but was held back by Mariah. As for Aure, she climbed down and sat by the victim's side. Looking at the demon's face, she let out a gasp. Now she understood in why Zelia was so angry. It was Kyoshi. "Um…try not to move--" she started, but when Kyoshi tried to sit up, he was once again zapped by a sudden lighting. Moaning in pain, he lay still as Aure set an comforting hand on his burnt back. Then Mariah yelled, "What's wrong?" Aure shouted back, "It's the protection spell! Its job was to zap anyone that has demon blood and to zap them again if they make the slightest movement!" "Yippee then!" snapped Zelia.
"So am I stuck here forever?" chuckled Kyoshi. Not getting the joke, Aure said, "Probably." There was a sweat drop on Kyoshi's head. "Uh…wait a few seconds, I may be able to lessen the effect, enough for you to get up slowly." she said as she got up, but stopped. Then she looked back at him with a hint of suspicion. "But why did you come?" Kyoshi smiled at her. "Wouldn't you like to know?"
