Hey, hey, I back ^_^ We find out the hero's and evil's name in this
chapter. Wahoo!
Thanks Golden_sun, Silver and Blaze for reviewing.
I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho. But I do own the hero, the evil, the ancient language and the hero's childish friend (he's alluded to in this chapter)
Okay on with the tale (remember to review please)
Chapter 2
The group gathered together in an area below the library where they could sit and talk. The ancient hero sat, once again, on the windowsill, Touya next to her. The others sat on the chairs or on the floor.
"Well lets see," Koenma said as he opened the book and skimmed through it looking for useful information. "It's said that she came here with a young boy named," he looked at it puzzled, given that the writing was somewhat worn, "Dayrien," he guessed.
"Darien?" came a light voice.
The group turned and looked in the direction the voice had come from and found themselves looking at both Touya and the girl next to him.
Touya was looking at the young girl next to him, "What?" he asked her.
The girl caught his emotion rather than his words, "Darien, un minimo broto," she put her hand outwards as if symbolizing something was small, "Maya galse frenda."
"I'm guessing the boys name is Darien... and something about a small friend possibly," Touya tried translating.
"How do you know that?" Jin asked curiously in his Irish accent.
"Some of the words they use sound the same as ours. So I'm merely guessing, plus her motions help a bit," Touya explained.
"Alright then, she came here with a small boy named Darien. Shortly after she left and was never seen again," Koenma said.
"We already know that," Hiei said in his usual dry tone of voice.
Hiei is a young looking fire demon, but was truly around six hundred years old, he has red eyes, black hair, which denied gravity by spiking upward, and it also had white spiked out lines in the front of it. He was clothed in his normal attire which consisted of semi baggy black pants, black boots that went over his pants and stopped half way up to his knees, a black cloak like shirt which went to his knees and what seemed like a white scarf at the top of it. He also wore a white bandana on his forehead.
"Yes I know Hiei," Koenma said rather annoyed, "I'm looking." He skimmed through the pages, looking for information that he could read and what would be useful.
The young girl turned her attention from the group to looking out the window, where children played happily in the snow. She gave a small smile as she watched the children throw snowballs and tackle each other.
"Um," Koenma said half to himself while looking over a particular page that caught his attention. "This page is sort of worn," he paused and reread the page before him, "It looks like her name is... Era... no that's not right."
The girl at the window turned her head and looked curiously at Koenma. After a moment she shrugged it off and looked back out the window.
Touya had been the only one to catch this and looked at the girl next to him curiously. "Era," he said lightly, but it was loud enough for the group to hear it, for they turned and looked at him. The girl also turned her head to look at him very curiously, slightly confused.
Touya gave a small smile, "That's your name isn't it? Era."
The girl now revealed as Era looked at him quizzically, "Kaia?"
Touya shook his head to let her know he meant nothing. He turned his attention back to his friends, "Looks like we've found something useful from that book."
"Ya, at least we know what to call her now," Kuwabara said in his gruff voice.
Kazuma Kuwabara, everyone calls him Kuwabara, with the exception of his 'girl friend' Yukina. He was a fifteen year old with red orange hair, which came out to a rounded point a bit off of his forehead and he also had brown eyes. He was wearing a light blue sweater (it has a big yellow stripe in the middle and a much smaller one just below it), dark blue pants and black shoes.
Koenma coughed lightly to get the attention of the group, "Yes well, there is more than just her name in here you know. First of all her full name is Era Waterstrife (water-strife). It appears her name came from a shortening of their god's, or should I say goddess's, name, which was...Eralasea (air- ah-la-see-ah). Ya that's right, it means 'controller of water' or something around that measure."
"She's named after a goddess that's pretty cool," Kuwabara said
"Well, her name means 'Hope' or something like that. And she's eighteen years old as well," Koenma told them.
"'At's young," Jin said surprised, "Amazin', such a young one could defeat the evil."
"Yes, it is quite young for a demon," Koenma said, "I guess from this book..." he started but stopped as he flipped the page, "She was said to have been gifted with special abilities superior to most of her kin. The only thing is, she was somewhat of a pacifist like the majority of her race, it says that she doesn't care to fight but would to protect people. That would explain further why she fought the evil."
"That battle was won and lost," Touya said.
"Well that's a paradox," Botan said with a small laugh.
"It's true though," Touya told her, "It was lost because Era didn't exactly live... um, I guess it should be she didn't stay awake. But it was won because the evil was stopped from harming anyone again, for a long time anyway."
"This is true," Kurama said looking over at Era, then back at Koenma. "What are these 'special abilities' she is to has though?"
"The book doesn't say," Koenma said looking puzzled at the book in his lap, "It just says she has special abilities. Perhaps they are hidden even from her or perhaps she figured them out when she fought the evil five thousand years ago and no one else knows about them. Who knows, she can't tell us herself... as of now at least."
"What's biggies name?" Jin asked referring to the evil.
"Let's see," Koenma flipped back a few pages and skimmed through it. "It seems to be called 'Van-Gareth' (Von-Gar-e-th). It says it means Giver Of Death."
"Well, the name sure fits well," Kuwabara said.
"Of course, he did go around killing people. What else did you expect them to call him?" Hiei said.
"You wanna fight shorty," Kuwabara yelled while getting up and holding his fist up to show Hiei that he was ready.
"Please, I'd have more fun with a toothpick," Hiei said dryly, looking at Kuwabara.
Kuwabara growled but before he could say anything Botan interrupted, "Now, now boys, calm down. This is no way to act in front of Era." Kuwabara looked over at Era who was watching them quite carefully, he sighed in defeat and sat down.
"Hn," was all Hiei offered as a response as he looked away.
Botan looked over at Koenma, who was looking intently at something. "What's wrong Koenma sir," she asked.
Koenma looked up startled, "Huh. Oh yes, sorry. I was looking at one of the pictures that is slightly viewable," he paused and looked over at Touya, who was looking out the window at the moment. "Touya," Koenma said catching his attention, "Come here I want to show you something."
Touya looked quizzically at him before getting up and walking over to where Koenma sat. When he got to him he walked behind the chair so he was looking over his shoulder. He looked at the picture for a moment before his eyes widened in utter surprise and he gasped.
"Touya?" Jin said while getting up to see what had surprised his friend so. When he saw the picture he gasped as well, "Oi, the little tot looks just like you."
Why do the kid in the picture look just like Touya? Does Era know of her special powers? Or is she left in the blue as well?
Hope you liked it. There are still 15 chapters to go 'till the end ^_^ So we have a long way to go (plus a third story is need to finish this....but I haven't started that yet -_-;;)
Please review. I need at least 3 reviews to continue.
Thank you!
