Wow...that's him alright...the long-haired one...no doubt about it. He must be
underestimating me, his power is so low...
"Suuichi, don't hold back. I want to fight you for real. Right here and right now."
"I will match your prowess. This power is slightly higher than yours...I'm sorry, but you have no chance in winning. A normal human never could defeat me, even Kuwabara."
"Ah, is he one of the 3?"
"Yes. The weakest of them, but he is one."
"Alright then, let's fight!"
"I believe the first move is yours."
"Fine."
She attacked with great fervor, but didn't increase her power level. She charged her fists with a bit of reikai before impact, and he was blown away.
"Had enough? Tell me more about your group!"
She put reikai into her fists...without my detection of it! This is no ordinary human!
"I will tell you a bit more, and increase my power. You have earned it. I have seemed to underestimate you. I can't remember the last time I was fooled by power consealant methods."
He charged up, and he felt good for the first time in ages. He even began to sweat.
"Hiei is another, and Yuusuke is the last. Hiei is a demon. Yuusuke is half human and half demon, but he thought he was a human for the first 16 years of his life."
"I still have yet to find out if you are evil or not, so I will continue to fight!"
"Alright. Could I have the next move?"
"This is starting to resemble a chess game instead of a fight, but be my guest, Suuichi."
He moved to behind her back with great speed. She wouldn't be able to see him, and before she knew it, he would knock her out, and use the amnesia flower on her. That way she wouldn't get hurt-emotionally or physically.
But she remained calm, and struck at his stomach with the back of her left arm, almost as if she had eyes on the back of her head, and knew his exact position.
He doubled over as the pain of old wounds returned, and as she laughed.
"Oh, come now, Suuichi! Do you play me for a fool? That attack didn't even have reikai in it! You aren't hurt! And quit using those old tricks on me! I'm better than that!"
He stood erect, laughing at her stunning ability to see right through him.
"So, you knew all along! And here I was planning another attack..."
"Oh, don't tell me...the old jump from above, eh?"
He stood there flabbergasted.
"You must really know your stuff! I'm not a martial arts master...my true prowess lies elsewhere...but you can see through all my attacks before I even concoct them myself. Bravo!"
"Don't flatter yourself, Suuichi. My power isn't martial either. I rely on rekai attacks and weaponry. The sword, the whip..."
He flinched at the word "whip". He pulled a rose from his hair and shouted "Rose Whip!!"
She had heard of that attack before...a deadly one, indeed...it could cut through metal...she had to act fast.
She powered up to the highest her power would go without becoming a saiyan, and she drew her sword.
"Ha! A sword has no credibility in this fight, the Rose Whip can shread it to filings! If you want to keep your sword in one piece, I suggest sheathing it."
"We'll see."
"Fine...don't say I didn't give you ample warning."
He struck, with all his might, but he missed her. The whip sliced the after-image of her aura, and he fell to the ground with surprise. She attacked from behind, and aimed the sword at the back of his neck.
"I won't hurt you. You were foolish to think I was so weak. But you must tell me of your origins before I will let you go free. And I can smell a lie."
"So the sword was only a diversion? Very clever, indeed...I should have been expecting that...I too used that tactic in a fight before...I will tell you about myself, but only if you promise to tell me of your origins after the fight...and to not hold back anymore."
She flinched. He knew I was holding back? It should be undetectable...
"Fine...we'll fight after the stories are told."
"My true name is Youko. I was a fox, a spirit fox, gaining the powers of a demon over the many years that I lived. I was a thief in the Maki, or demon world, and I made a sport out of stealing rare and precious artifacts. I soon evolved into Youko Kurama, my true form. But one day, I was fatally injured by a demon hunter in the Maki. So, I fled to the Nigenki, or human world, and became the fetus in a woman. I was born Suuichi Minamino. I would gain my prowess after about ten years, after which I would leave for the Maki...but my plans changed. I met Yuusuke about two years ago, and he became a spirit detective, along with Kuwabarra and Hiei, and myself. Hiei's story is long, but I guarantee you he is not evil. Kuwabarra and Yuusuke are kindhearted as well, and I have turned from my evil ways. That is why I am a spirit detective for Koenma, the son of the Enma Daioh, on the side of good. We fought as a group and destroyed many evil demons, so, I assure you, we are not evil."
"Kurama?!? The legendary thief!?? I knew those plant attacks were not those of a mere human. Alright...I will tell you my story now...or all that I know..."
"I was a normal human girl, growing up in Chicago, until I was in an accident. It has been 6 years since the accident. I was jumping on the trampoline at the gym, and suddenly, it all went black. I dreamt, and I felt myself growing stronger all the while, like something had snapped within me; like some limit had been crossed. When I awoke, I found myself on the cold floor, with twenty eyes staring at me. I sat up, and rubbed my head. Amazingly, no blood, but the people told me I was out for three hours. I went home that day, with a bump on my head, and a candy from the gym nurse. But I didn't know why I didn't hurt. I did hit concrete, after all, and the nurse was amazed. "A miracle, Kelly, a miracle," the nurse said as I left.
Ever since that day, I have seen things, and had supernatural abilities. It started out as a large increase in strength, and after 20 broken dishes, I decided to train to control my new prowess. As I trained, I could control it, and I became stronger and stronger. I could run faster than anyone I knew.
I would often train at midnight in the wooded parks, but I wasn't afraid of being mugged or anything, even on the city streets of Chicago, because I had discovered that I could feel when a person approached, even from afar, and I could tell how strong they were, and the nature of their heart, except when they were truly powerful, like you, Kurama. Soon, I could feel powers from all over the world. I felt people with power levels that were remarkably higher than others, but still, the four strongest, by far, were in Japan; Mizkuzi City, Japan...right here, in your hometown.
Soon, I became very skilled in the martial arts. It frightened me at first, but soon, I learned to control it.
I also developed a telepathic skill with people of high spirit energy. I mentally talked to people in China...but never understood them...and felt them become frightened...so I stopped...but I still had mastered the technique.
I began to not only sense the power in Japan, but see a shadow of the figures as well. One was a short, thin, spiky-haired male; the other, a male, I guessed, was very tall, with uncontrollable hair; yet another was shorter, but had longer hair-who looked to be a female, but I sensed a male quality about him; and the last, and perhaps the most powerful, was rather tall, but not the tallest, and had slicked-back hair...he had to be a guy. I wondered who they were and if they were trouble or not. But I just brushed it off.
I never thought of the four powers until recently, when I felt them again. You see, they had disappeared for a year, when I was fifteen, but last week, I found that they were back. That is what made me come here, because I vowed to destroy such powerful people if they were evil."
"That is an interesting story. I see...so...you have more power?"
"Yes."
"Would you like to fight?"
"Sure...but I won't kill you...do what you want to me."
She powered up to saiyan level.
What is this? A demon transformation?
"What is that?"
"My true form, Kurama. This is my saiyan form. I am much more powerful, but I will go another step further."
"Wait...you are not a normal human?"
"Nope...and not entirely a human...a saiyan is another race from another universe." That means we can love each other!! Oh, the best day of my life!
"Continue then..."
She powered up to SSJ. Her golden hair and blue eyes seemed pale in the early morning sunlight.
"I have injuries in this form that haven't healed yet. This will keep us on par with each other. I can't fly with the pain I'm in...so you have no need to worry about that."
"A marvelous transformation...but you don't intend to go all the way with this, do you...so, how far should we go?"
"The one to get 5 hits on the other wins."
"I agree to those terms."
"Good. Begin."
Kurama powered up, and unleashed a Maki plant. It was getting ready to attack her from the left, but she prepared the Kamehameha wave.
"Yuusuke tried to destroy the Maki daffodil with his Spirit Gun too...but to no avail...don't waste your ki..."
"'salright...just continue...KA...ME...HA...ME..."
"As you wish, my love..." He smiled as he revealed his feelings to her, and she smiled back.
"Attack, demon plant!!"
"HA!!"
She then hit him from behind, after concealing her power level like she had been hit. The plant was nothing more than a pile of ashes after the thick smoke cleared.
"I believe that is 4 hits for you. Would you like to call a truce and put this fight off for another date? I must admit...you are more powerful than I...I have never faced an opponent like you before. Let's say we go to our respective homes and meet here at 3 tomorrow...I'll take you to see Hiei." "Sure."
She collapsed from the pain of her old wounds.
Kurama caught her in his arms before she hit the ground. Let me heal you with this herb. Lower your power so it will take effect.
After she was healed, she powered down to a human, and gave him a hug for thanks.
"My love, I must be going now...or the hotel may give my room away to another!"
"Let me walk you there."
And so they walked, hand in hand. True love, for the first time, for both, with many adventures ahead of them.
"Suuichi, don't hold back. I want to fight you for real. Right here and right now."
"I will match your prowess. This power is slightly higher than yours...I'm sorry, but you have no chance in winning. A normal human never could defeat me, even Kuwabara."
"Ah, is he one of the 3?"
"Yes. The weakest of them, but he is one."
