Konnichiwa!!!!! I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho..
Once again I'd like to thank my reviewers of the last chapter; 'Jaynee Bubbanee', 'Sniper' and 'Blaze'.
Can I ask a small favor of all the readers: please review. It doesn't take long and it's much appreciated.
Anyways without further a due; On with the tale.
Chapter 6
The group, with the exception of Yukina, Botan and Koenma, sat at the dinning room table eating breakfast that consisted of croissants, fruit, juice and muffins.
Yusuke groaned, "I could do with some more sleep," he then stuffed a whole croissant in his mouth.
Kuwabara blinked, "You sure do have a big mouth Urameshi," he then put a smaller piece of a croissant in his mouth.
Hiei looked at Jin and Touya, "What were you two doing early this morning?"
The two in question looked at each other than back at Hiei. They laughed nervously, not sure on how to explain the whole thing.
"Yes, what exactly were you doing this morning? I could hear your voices clearly before the sun even rose today," Kurama said curiously
Jin thought a moment, "We didn't do much. Touya was talkin' with Era 'en I tackled 'im and he got all uptight 'bout it. That's where all the yellin' started. After 'at we were laughin'."
"How could Touya and Era be talking, Era can't talk like us," Yusuke said before taking a swig of his drink.
"Can too," the soft voice of Era was heard.
Yusuke spit his drink out in surprise, some of it landed on Kuwabara.
"Ew, that's gross Urameshi," Kuwabra said in disgust.
"Since when could you talk!?" Yusuke yelled in surprise, disregarding Kuwabara.
Era bowed her head to avoid all the eyes which where upon her."Leave her alone guys, she obviously doesn't like it," Touya told them while looking worriedly at Era.
"See, told you she can. You just went flapping your gums and didn't believe me. Now your all wide eyed and embarrassin' the poor girl," Jin said. He placed a hand on Era's shoulder, "It's alright, it'll get some takin' use to is all,"
Era slowly nodded her head, but she didn't raise it, a single tear rolled down her cheek and as it fell from her face it gave a small glimmer and crystallized into a pearl like gem. Yusuke looked remorsefully at her, "I'm sorry Era. I... I didn't mean it in a bad way, I'm happy that you can talk. Really I am."
Jin gave Era a hug, which she returned after a moment. Touya got up and placed his hand gently on her back. She looked up at him to find a reassuring smile on his face, "How about we get out of here," he said.
Era nodded her head and got up, walking with Touya and Jin out of the room.
"I didn't mean to hurt her feelings," Yusuke said with a sigh.
"You may not have intended to Yusuke, but you did," Kurama told him.
Era, Touya and Jin walked down the hall, quietly, until Jin broke the disturbing silence that had befallen them. "Urameshi didn't mean anything, he just didn't think you could talk to is all," Jin told her hoping to cheer her up.
Era shook her head, "I never... have learned."
Touya stopped and put his hand on her shoulders and made her look at him, "We're all happy you learned Era, but you have to understand that you just came out of the blue and started talking." Touya looked at her seriously, "Both Jin and myself just took it better than Yusuke did, he and all of the others are happy for you. We all wanted you to learn," Touya pulled her into a hug and she returned it once again, before he pulled away he said, "Because we all want to talk to you."
Touya pulled away from her slightly, still leaving his hands on her waist, she moved her hands down to his arms. "Will you be alright now?" he asked and she nodded. "Be happy, like Jin, again," he said with a small smile before he kissed her on the cheek and withdrew completely from her.
The kiss had caught her off guard so she was left momentarily stunned. She came out of it when she saw Jin put Touya in a headlock, which made her laugh happily.
"Nothin' is happening eh?" Jin said playfully. Era didn't know what he meant, but she liked the drastic change in the mood.
"Nothing is," Touya said and playfully hit him in the ribs with his elbow.
"My ribs," Jin grasped his ribs playfully mocking that he was in pain and fell backwards onto the floor.
The two laughed merrily at their red headed friend. Jin did a spring kick to get back on his feet and laughed too. "You look better 'en you smile Era," Jin told her. When Era blushed slightly he gave another laugh, "A bit of laughter's good for the soul."
Yusuke came running up to the trio, "Era I'm really sorry if I offended you back there, you just caught me by complete surprise and...." before he could continue Era put her index finger to his lips, quieting him.
"Is okay, Yusuke," she said to him. Though when she said his name it sounded more like 'Usuke' (oos-kay).
Yusuke smiled, "Good." He turned to leave when he remembered something, "Oh, guys Koenma wants to talk to us all, he says it's urgent."
The three of them nodded their heads and followed Yusuke back to the dinning hall where Botan, Koenma and Yukina now sat with the others.
Koenma looked up as the group of four of them walked into the room. He smiled at Era, "I hear you can talk." Era nodded her head nervously, wondering where this was going. "Congratulations," was all Koenma said.
Era smiled, "Tank you," she said lightly as she sat down in-between Jin and Touya again.
Koenma's smile soon fade and he started his important meetings, "I've called you all here for very important matters," he paused and looked at everyone seriously, "Van-Gareth is on the move again..."
Kuwabara interrupted before he could continue, "Well he's been on the move before, why is this time a big deal."
"If you'd let him finish you'd find out!" Botan half yelled in annoyance.
Kuwabara blinked, "Sorry, I'm just curious."
"Please Kazuma this is really important," Yukina said worriedly, this shut Kuwabara up.
Koenma lightly coughed to get everyone's attention, "Like I was saying Van- Gareth is on the move and is heading this way." He paused when everyone gasped in surprise and horror, "I think he may be after Era at this point."
Era looked down at her hands in her lap and played with them nervously, "He want me dead, he no want me put him sleep."
Kurama nodded his head, "Undoubtedly the battle with be fierce. It would be wise for us to leave before everyone here is hurt or worse, killed."
They all agreed with Kurama and decided to leave at dawn the next day.
Will the gang get out of town before Van-Gareth gets there? What will happen when they run into him? Will they survive? Or will they perish under his awesome might?
Need reviews to continue.
