Okay, so I lied. Well, not really. Just didn't know what I was going to do.
I said that I would not post up any new stories until I finished all the
ones I had up, but I had this idea in school and wondered what my reader(s)
*coughKimcough* would say of this, so I decided to type it up! Anyway,
please continue reading an enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Yu Hakusho, but I do own the idea for the "Fire Gun," and the plot and Kirana and Sakana.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yoko Kurama and Kuronue were dashing through a forest. They had just stolen a very valuable item from a castle on the edge of Makai. Very few people knew about it, so that made it easier to get away with stealing something from there. The castle was owned by a man named Kanoto, a mix of brown fox demon and fire demon. He had a half-sister named Kirana, who was half brown fox demon and half silver fox demon. Neither Yoko nor Kuronue had managed to catch a glimpse of her, however. Yoko regretted that.
"So, Yoko.... Are you falling in love with a girl you have never even met before?" Kuronue asked, dodging the blow that was aimed at his head.
"Shut up, damn bat. No, I am not falling in love with her, I merely wish to see if what I have heard about her is true. She is supposed to be more silver fox than anything. Silver ears, tail, hair, with brown streaks in them. Of course, the demons got that information from Ranasuke, the traveling human, so that may not be entirely accurate. So just shut up, Kuronue," Yoko said angrily.
Kuronue dropped the subject. "You know, that was almost too easy. Normally places like this would have a lot of guards around it, or at least more people," Kuronue said, looking behind them.
Yoko nodded in agreement. Just then, two shapes appeared in front of them.
"Oh, look, Kir! They are the ones we are looking for! They are the ones who stole your pendant!" an excited voice said.
"Yes, Sak. That is them. I'll get the fox, and you can have the bat," a cool voice said. It was obviously a woman's, both of them were, but it was stronger than most Yoko had heard.
"Who are you?" Yoko demanded, looking at the two people. They laughed.
"I am Sakana, great friend to and protector of Lady Kirana," the first voice said as the girl stepped forward. She was a cat demon with blue hair and tail tips. She also had ears with one blue streak on them, in the middle. She was wearing a sky-blue long-sleeved shirt with matching pants.
"I am Lady Kirana, who does not need a protector, only lets her older brother think so," the second voice said. Kirana stepped out from the shadows. She had long, flowing silver hair, a silver tail, and silver ears. The very tips of these were brown, but aside from that, she looked almost exactly like Yoko. She was wearing a deep purple frame-fitting pants and tank top. She also had the biggest smirk on her face.
"You know, I think that they are really stupid to send two girls, one of which probably doesn't even know how to fight, to stop us," Kuronue said, sweatdropping.
Kirana growled, a definite danger sign. "I DO TOO KNOW HOW TO FIGHT!!" Kirana yelled angrily as she drew a katana and held it in front of her in perfect form. Sakana made a whip-like thing out of water.
Yoko scoffed. "Do you really expect that to hurt us?!?!"
Sakana smirked. "Want to test that theory out, fox-boy??" she challenged.
"No, Sak! I told you that the fox is mine!" Kirana yelled, anger flashing in her eyes. "You killed my father. I'll kill you, Yoko Kurama!" Kirana launched herself at Yoko, surprising him and cutting him on the arm. She then had to whirl around and attack Kuronue as he would have attacked her if she hadn't blocked. Sakana took over for her and Sakana and Kuronue fought each other while, for a few moments, Kirana and Yoko circled.
"Who was your mother, girl?" Yoko asked.
"I'm only telling you one thing. She was a brown fox demon who admired you and tried to do anything for you when you two were little. You had a heart then. One day, you told her to go get something and you yourself went and killed her after that! You murderous TRAITOR!!!" Kirana screamed as she flitted to Yoko and cut him across the cheek. Soon, they were engaged in battle just as Sakana and Kuronue were next to them.
About 3 hours later, Yoko and Kuronue had been subdued thanks to Kirana. She had yelled at Sakana to get her mask on and had unleashed a plant that put demons to sleep with powder that it spurted out. Kirana and Sakana picked up the bodies and went back to the palace, putting wards on as they got back. Sakana took Kuronue to her room while Kirana took Yoko to hers. She tended his wounds and secured the ward.
A little while later, Yoko woke up to unfamiliar surroundings. "Where am I?" He asked, not expecting a reply. He was surprised when he saw Kirana hop off the bad and come over to him.
"You happen to be in my room, Yoko. So, why did you kill my mother?" Kirana asked, sitting in front of him but out of his range.
"What was your mothers name, Kirana?" Yoko asked, not looking at her.
"My mothers name was Ayashin. She was the one you killed and I found right before she died, traitor," Kirana spat out from between clenched teeth.
"Oh, yeah. Ayashin. Really nice girl. That wasn't me that killed her. It was another silver fox. When I saw what he had done, I killed him. He was the one who killed your mother, Kirana, not me. I never thought that her only daughter would try and kill me. I am sorry, Kirana," Yoko said, looking out the window. "How long am I staying here for?"
"At least 48 hours. After that, it depends on whether or not you have earned it yet. I'll decide then. But since you were not the one who killed my mother, I will forgive you. I had to place those wards on. Half for your own safety and half for others. I don't care about my safety any more. After 24 hours, if you have been good, I will take the wards off. After 48 hours, you can go wherever you like. You can stay here, you can go with your friend, Kuronue, or you can go off on your own. Actually, I really don't care. Just as long as you don't kill my brother of any of my friends," Kirana said, going back to the bed to hide the tears.
"You don't care if I kill you?" Yoko asked, amazed.
"I am not afraid of death. I am more afraid for my friends and family's lives. I really don't care. It is not new to me to stake my life for the lives of those I love. You need to learn more about me, Yoko Kurama," Kirana said from her bed. "Would you like anything to eat, fox?"
Yoko shook his head. "No, I'm fine. I just want to check on Kuronue," Yoko said, a hint of concern getting into his voice.
Kirana smiled. "If you want, I can go get him."
"Really?!?!"
"Of course I can. If that is what you want, I can bring him here. Do you want me to?" Kirana asked, already knowing what the answer was most likely going to be.
"Yes!" Yoko said, trying, and failing, to keep the happiness out of his voice. Kirana smiled and walked out the door.
Yoko thought things over while she was gone. 'Why didn't she just kill me? It would have been the perfect opportunity. I was down, she still had strength, so that would have been the normal thing for a demon to do. I'll have to ask her later.'
Kirana returned a few minutes later with Kuronue right behind her. "Do you want me to leave you two alone?"
Yoko nodded and Kirana closed the door silently.
"Did anything interesting happen, Yoko?" Kuronue asked as soon as the door was closed.
"As a matter of fact, yes. She asked me about her mother, who used to be an old acquaintance of mine. She had gotten the idea that I killed her mother, but I didn't. It was another silver fox. I killed him afterwards, but Kirana had to be so unfortunate as to find her mother before she died. She only saw a flash of silver, which made her think it was me that killed her mother. When I told her the whole story, she believed me and told me that we are staying here for 48 hours at least. She is very interesting. She isn't afraid for her own life, more the ones she cares for than her own, actually. She told me that after 24 hours I can have my ward removed," Yoko said, looking intently at Kuronue.
"Ah, why wait? I have an extra dagger here, if you want it. I was thinking of busting out of this place, tonight, at midnight. Then we can go back to stealing. Maybe even steal something from here. Sakana, from what I learned, would be a pretty goo catch. Kirana would seem to be as well, from what I've gathered," Kuronue said with an evil glint in his eyes and a smirk on his face. Yoko grinned also and nodded. Kuronue handed over a dagger and kept the other for himself.
Yoko saw something growing outside. He stood up and went over to look at it. It was a perfect white rose. He supposed that Kirana had grown it. For some odd reason, the white rose reminded him of Kirana. Sweet looking, defenseless looking, and beautiful. But, really, hard and cold, plenty of defenses, yet still beautiful.
There was a knock on the door and Sakana's voice floated through. "Are you two done yet?" She sounded irritated about something.
"Yeah, whatever," Kuronue said, motioning for Yoko to hide the dagger. The door opened and Sakana stepped into the room.
"Alright, bat. Let's go. You can talk to the fox later. Don't worry. If your good and don't get into too much trouble, Kirana can be a great friend, and not-so-great a person who hold other people against their will," Sakana said, smiling.
Kuronue and Yoko nodded, then Kuronue and Sakana departed and Kirana came into the room.
"I'm glad that you seem to be settling down alright, fox," Kirana said as she grabbed some nightclothes.
"How long have we been here and why didn't you just kill me when you had the chance?" Yoko asked.
"First question is about 5 hours. Second question is because I still have my honor. I do not wish to sink down to the level of the average demon. Besides, you needed to have a chance to change my mind, which you did," Kirana said, not looking at him.
"I see," Yoko said before Kirana walked into the bathroom and changed. She then went to bed. Yoko noticed that it was already around 9 in the evening. He had 3 more hours to go.
~ 3 hours later ~
Yoko cut his bonds and felt some of Kuronue's energy. He grinned, grew a rose and a few vines, and kept Kirana asleep with the same plant she had used on him. He jumped out the window, hoisting Kirana onto his shoulder on the way out, and met up with Kuronue.
"Well, we had best get going," Yoko said before sprinting off towards his "house" which was more of a cave than anything.
The cave was warm, dry, and comfortable. As soon as they were inside, the boys set the girls down and put special wards on their wrists.
When Kirana woke up, she found that she was in a cave. It looked homey, but she still didn't know where she was and that frightened her.
She saw Sakana stir next to her. Sakana, too, took one look around and the look on her face said "We're in trouble."
Kirana tried to summon a plant to help her get the bindings on her hand off, but instead found a bright purple glow on her wrist. She and Sakana looked down to find a silver band on Kirana's wrist that glowed when she tried to use spirit energy. Sakana tried as well, only to find a black band on her wrist that glowed light blue when she tried to use her spirit energy.
"Wards," Sakana and Kirana hissed at the same time. At that moment, Yoko and Kuronue entered the room. Each grinned.
"I see you have found your wards," Kuronue said, waltzing over to Sakana. "Each is made for either me or Yoko. The black one represents me and the silver one represents Yoko," Kuronue explained, tilting Sakana's head up to look at him.
"So, if you'll come this way, Kirana, I won't have to force you to go," Yoko said, his eyes glinting evilly. Kirana growled and flattened her ears to her skull, but could do nothing more. She reached for her sword only to find that her sword, as well as all her seeds, she analyzed a few moments later, were gone. Yoko held out a hand to grab Kirana and make her get up, but Sakana jumped in his way, hissing and baring her fangs at Yoko.
Kuronue grabbed Sakana and threw her over one shoulder. Sakana kicked and screamed curses at him until they could no longer hear. Kirana managed to stand up on her own and, while Yoko was preoccupied, tried to make a dash for the exit. Well, at least she presumed it was the exit. Yoko's hand shot out of nowhere and grabbed her around the waist.
Kirana struggled for a few moments before giving up and allowing Yoko to lead her to a room. When they got there, she gasped.
