I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho (But I own Era, Van-Gareth, Darien and the
ancient language)
Thanks 'Blaze', 'Jaynee Bubbanee', 'Golden_sun', and 'Silver' for reviewing.
I have a proposition for my readers/reviewers; if I can get at least 3 reviews before Christmas Eve (December 24th) I'll update either the 23rd or the 24th. Think of it as my Christmas/Hanukah present to all my readers/reviewers.
On with the tale.
Chapter 3
"Is that the boy Era use to travel with, Darien?" Touya asked.
"Yes," was Koenma's only reply.
Touya's words stuck in his throat, he didn't know what to say or do. He just looked at the picture of his ancestor from five thousand years ago. The fact that this child of millennia's ago resembled himself and what he remembered Era doing in her old home before they had come to Ice World kept him silent.
'That's why she did that, she must have thought I was Darien,' Touya thought to himself as he remembered the time in ancient home of the water demons.
***
She gave him a strange look, as if she were trying to place him somewhere.
"Ah, what is it? Is something wrong?" Touya asked nervously.
She put her index finger under his chin and lifted it so it was level with her face. She looked at him curiously. She slipped her finger out from under his chin and traced it up his cheek lightly, barely touching his skin, to his green bangs.
"Um," was Touya only response while blushing ever so slightly, whether it be from embarrassment or from nerves is unknown to all, perhaps even from himself.
She picked up one of his bangs, lightly. She smiled and breathed a small sigh before she withdrew from him completely.
***
"Touya.... Touya" Jin said while waving his hand in front of his friends face.
"Huh," Touya came out of his revere an looked at Jin, "I'm fine, just thinking." He shook his head and sighed.
Jin gave him a pat on the back and smiled, "Don't worry 'bout it Touya. You 'new your ancestors 'er of water so it can't be too hard to understand."
"Perhaps, but I would have never expected his to be acquainted to the very person we were looking for, and helping now." Touya told him still in some shock.
"Well you can be assured, Touya, that you are not related to her. Darien and Era are extremely good friends, they are like family but not related in any way," Koenma told him. "From what this book is saying, his family was killed when he was a toddler and Era's family took him in and raised him."
Yusuke laughed, "Hey Touya, perhaps that's why she trusts you so much, you look like her little brother."
"Perhaps, but their not biological siblings, so don't get that mixed up," Touya told him.
"Ya, Ya, I know," was Yusuke's reply as he waved the comment off. He looked over at Era, who was still looking out the window, "What are we going to do with her, all of us know what she probably wants to do, hunt down that Van- Gareth person... thing... what ever it is."
"Nicely put," Botan said jokingly, "The thing is, Yusuke, that he has learned to conceal his power. So it's going to be difficult to find him."
Yusuke put his head down in defeat and shook it, "Isn't he leaving any clues as to were he could be," he complained.
"I wish he was," Koenma said, "But it appears that he's not causing any problems at the time, that's part of the reason why we are still here."
"Well that sucks," Yusuke half yelled. He looked over at Era who had gotten up and was quickly walking down the stairs to go outside, "Where's she going?" Yusuke asked while getting up.
That's when they heard what she had gotten up for; there were scared screams of children echoing in the air. The whole group got up quickly and went outside to see what was going on. When outside the gang found a demon group of ten there, holding a small child, maybe three or four, by the scruff of his neck. The scared child was crying.
They saw Era walking over to the demon group, not looking too happy. The demons laughed at her, thinking she was just another weak, pathetic female demon. How wrong their assumptions were.
The demons all had green skin and clothed in black or dark green pants and dark, almost black, shirts. Their leader, the one holding the child, commanded them to attack and they happily obeyed.
Yusuke went to go help Era but Kurama stopped him by grabbing his shoulder and shook his head 'no'. Yusuke sighed and watched as they demons enclosed the ancient being.
One demon leapt forward and tried to drive his fist into Era's face, but she easily dodged it and drove her knee into his stomach. The demon coughed up blood and fell to the ground with a thud. Two others ran from the side and one from the back to strike her. As the two at her sides came closer she did a split jump knocking both of them back, she then landed and twisted around and jumped in the air, half way, and drove her foot into her attackers side of his head. The attacker went off to the side and didn't move once he hit the ground. When Era landed her legs were partly twisted, she just turned back to the front to untangle them.
The demon group looked at her astonished, "How could she have defeat four of my men with out getting even a scratch," the leader said annoyed tightening his grip of the boys neck. The boy cried out in pain making Era growl lightly in annoyance.
"Kurama, we have to save the kid," Yusuke told him urgently
"Don't even try," the demon leader said, "One false move and I'll kill the boy."
"Damn it," Yusuke gritted his teeth.
"Kill the girl," the leader commanded the remaining five. The five demons charged at Era.
She stood there as they came closer; when they were a few feet away she raised her right hand so her palm was facing them. The demons stopped dead in their tracks wondering what she was about to do. She smirked and turned her hand so her palm faced the sky and bid them to come with the movements of her fingers.
The demons growled at her trickery and came after her again, she blocked their attacks with ease, since they were all in front of her and couldn't all attack at once. Two went off to the side and one in back, so four would be attacking her at once. As they all went to attack her, she jumped in the air allowing the demons to hit each other. They cried out in pain when the blows came.
"YOU IDIOTS!" their leader yelled, "ATTACK HER! NOT EACH OTHER!"
Era landed in front of the fifth demon, the one who stayed out of the onslaught. He stepped back in surprise, he quickly recovered and through his fist at her. She dodged the blow and caught his arm easily. She then quickly brought her leg to make contact with his arm with so much force that Yusuke and the others could hear his bones snap. The demon cried out in pain clutching his broken arm.
The other four demons had recovered and came after her again, her back still facing them. She whipped around sending her leg into one of the demons necks and he fell to the ground, dead.
The other three were at her sides and in front of her, the demons at her sides went to punch her, but she caught their fists. She then slammed her foot into the oncoming demon's stomach (he was coming from her front), knocking him out. The demons she held on to sent their other fists at her, she leaned back just missing them. She quickly came back to bring striate and shifted her grip so she had their wrists in her hands. She then stepped back and pulled their arms together, the demons collided with enough force that knocked them both out.
"Worthless fools," their leader spat, completely annoyed, "I have to do everything myself," he threw the boy to the side, making the child yelp.
Botan and Yukina ran over to the child, who was crying. Botan quickly picked him up and brought him to the group where she put him down and examined him for wounds. Luckily the boy only had a few scratches and a bruised neck, nothing major.
The two demons Era had knocked away before came up to their boss. Touya and Jin looked at each other and gave a small nod, knowing what the other was thinking. They walked up to Era to help. Era looked at them curiously.
"Well take the two followers," Touya told her while pointing to the two demons that had just come back to their boss.
Era nodded her head, letting them know she understood and that it was all right with her.
"Fine by us," one of the demon followers said. The one who had spoken ran to the left, followed by Touya in the same motion, Jin and the other demon did the same thing only in the opposite direction. Era and the demon leader were left looking at each other.
The leader smirked, "I won't be so easily defeated," he got in his fighting stance. He stood with his body sideways but his head facing Era, his left leg in front and his hands chest height in fists.
"Let's begin," he said.
Will Era be able to defeat this new opponent? Or will she fall victim to this new time's villain?
Remember the little proposition I set out for you (look to the top if you skipped over it before). I will keep extra track of the reviews and dates on which I get them, so please review if you want the next chapter up real soon.
