Kokoro No Kaitou : Once Lost, Now Found
Chapter 13
~*~
"I guess I should start with the relation between koorime and tennyos." Yukina said, taking a sip from her tea. "We all descended from the same group of people. Well, all from the same goddess, anyways."
"Goddess?" Naomi echoed.
"Yes. Her name was Koori, and she was a little known goddess that lived on the moon. She was extremely powerful - however, she lived in seclusion, so no one really knew about her. She wanted children, but she couldn't find a husband. So, she created her own children. They were all likenesses of her - silver hair, red eyes, and powers of ice. There were two - Rei and Leiko.
"They lived with their mother for several centuries, each of them learning different ways to use the immense energy inherited from her. Leiko was the first tennyo - she studied in healing, and was far more beautiful than her sister. Rei was the first koorime - she had ice powers, like her mother, and was able to freeze anything at will.
"Eventually, Rei left to settle on the Island of Koorime, where she had many children - but like her mother, she could not find a husband. That is why koorime are an all-female race, and we don't need any males to have children. Leiko had her children as well, by a demon. Her children also didn't need a father to be born, though she had had them with a male. Tennyos are also an all-female race. So, we all came from two sisters." Yukina explained.
When she was done, she smiled. "Any questions?"
"Wow…so you and I are very distantly related?" Naomi asked.
"Yes. I guess we are." The koorime said, smiling innocently.
"Okay. So now why is there a book that has information on all the tennyos?" Chuu asked.
"Because tennyos and koorime are rare, they need to be watched. Reikai made two books - one for each race - that have records of every one of us that is born. It's basically our records." The koorime said. She sipped more of her tea, and let her crimson eyes drift over to the book on tennyos, which lay open on the table. "You should be in there too, Naomi-san."
Naomi took the book, and started flipping through the pages. She stopped when she saw the picture of the woman that looked like her mother.
"She looks like my mom." She said.
"Really?" Yusuke asked.
"Yeah. It says, 'Tsuki. Born of Kiku and a human fisherman. Powers of clairvoyance, dream speech, healing [tremendous - can bring back the dead]. Possesses rei-ki in abundance. Part of a set of twins, Tsuki was…killed at the age of five.'…" Naomi read. "Part of a set of twins?"
"Maybe she and Amaya are related." Yusuke suggested.
Naomi flipped the page, and Amaya's picture was indeed there. " 'Amaya. Born of Kiku and a human fisherman. Powers of clairvoyance, mental dominance, healing [tremendous - can bring back the dead]. Possesses rei-ki in abundance. Part of a set of twins. Amaya has one child, Naomi, by…' "
She drifted off, and her eyes widened.
"What? Sheila, you okay?" Chuu asked.
"Kami-sama…" She whispered. "He's my…father?"
~*~
"Run, Forrest, run!" Dawn called.
Kano pumped his legs harder. "What the hell do you think I'm doing, Dawn?!"
The reincarnated bat ran up the hill as fast as he could, trying not to look back at the cloud of bugs chasing after him.
Please don't catch me, please don't catch me, please don't catch me! He chanted over and over in his mind.
He saw the containment field in front of him, and quickly ran into it. He jumped behind Midori, who was in her phoenix form, and watched as she, Hiei, and Dawn all let loose their flames at once.
The bugs made a horrible noise, which sounded like a dieing human, and then fell to the ground, burnt and twitching, but clearly dead.
Kano sighed in relief, and grinned at Midori.
She turned back into her human form, and sighed. "Well, that's the last of them, I think."
"I hope so. I can't run up that hill another time." Kano said, flopping down onto the ground.
Hiei smirked. "Weak as always, bird."
"I'm a bat, Hiei. Get it through your head." He growled.
"Whatever."
Dawn laughed. "You two fight like a married couple!"
Hiei and Kano glared at her, though Midori was laughing.
"Oh well! Guess Kuro-chan and I can't see each other anymore seeing as how he's married and all!" She said.
"I'm not married, Midori!" He whined.
Hiei growled at Dawn, and she just smiled.
"Look, now that we're done here, why don't we join the others at the Reikai library?" Midori suggested.
Kano pouted. "I don't wanna go. You guys tease me too much."
She smiled and ruffled his hair. "Kuro-chan, it's all in fun."
Dawn suddenly tensed, and Hiei looked over at her.
"What is it?"
She shivered, and rubbed her arms. "What power…"
Hiei felt it too. An extremely strong energy, coming from the west. Something that seemed to go beyond S-Class…
"What do you think that was?" Midori asked.
"I don't know." Kano replied. "But we should go check it out."
"No!" Hiei said. The others looked over at him. "We'll go to Reikai, see the others, and try to find out what that was from there."
The others nodded.
"Right!"
~*~
Kurama slowly opened his eyes. His head was throbbing…
And where was he…?
It was a large room that almost looked like a dungeon cell. It was dark and dank, and smelled strongly of blood… He didn't have any wounds though…
He stood, and tried to step forwards, but his wrists were chained to the wall. He gave them a tug, and cursed.
"Kuso!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
He looked over towards the door, and saw Tsuki standing there. She smirked.
"Such language, kokitsune."
He growled. "Where is Amaya?"
"She's somewhere…" Tsuki said. "I've done my job, and we'll just have to wait for midnight. Then the fun will really begin."
"What did you do to her!?" He exclaimed. "And tell me where the hell she is!"
She frowned. "Honestly, Kurama, you'd think you'd be able to sense her. But then again, in my castle, things do get distorted quite often."
"Your castle?" He repeated. "Are you even really Tsuki?"
She smirked. "You catch on quick, fox."
"Then where is the real Tsuki? What happened to her?"
"Well, I decided a while ago that I wanted to take over the three worlds, and to do that, I needed Amaya." She said.
"Why Amaya?" He asked.
"Because, she has enough power to destroy all three of the worlds. And also because she is the heiress to a certain necklace, which is very powerful. However, I couldn't get her because you were always around, so I decided to take over Tsuki instead."
"Take over?"
"I basically forced her soul out of her body, and took over her that way." Tsuki stopped, and looked back out the door. She smirked. "Oh. Looks like your precious Amaya is finally succumbing."
"Succumbing to what?" He asked. He really, really hoped that she was okay…
"Well, she didn't have the necklace on her, which meant she gave it to someone else. So, I'm going to make her help me find it." The raven-haired woman said. She looked back at Kurama. "Well, I must go complete the process. Tata for now, kokitsune."
She turned on her heel and left. Kurama listened to her high heels clacking down the hall, and he sighed.
Kami-sama…she's in danger, and there's nothing I can do. Chikusho [damn*]!!
He blinked when a cold breeze blew gently across his face, despite the fact that he was inside. He looked up slightly, and saw a small child standing there. She looked exactly as Amaya had described her…a miniature Tsuki…
She had a saddened look on her face, and she gently ran her icy cold fingers down Kurama's cheek.
"Tsuki…?" He questioned.
She nodded.
Please, help her…
"I can't. I'm stuck. Chained to the wall." He said, tugging on his restraints to prove his point.
Make sure that she doesn't come here. The necklace must stay away. I can't tell her though, because she is no longer open to me. She is distraught.
"Who?"
Naomi.
"I can't tell her. But why is she distraught?"
She knows.
"Knows what?" He asked. This girl seemed to like speaking in riddles.
Tell the fire youkai. He'll tell her.
She turned around, and started walking towards the door.
"Wait, Tsuki-san!" He called.
She stopped walking, though she didn't turn around.
"Is Amaya…going to be okay?"
She looked back at him slightly. I cannot lie to you. I am not sure…there is a strong chance that the process will kill her.
She waved her hand as though slicing through the air, and Kurama fell forward onto the ground, his chains now broken.
Make sure that doesn't happen.
~*~
They all met up in the Reikai library, but Chuu and Naomi were nowhere to be seen. Hiei was a bit surprised at this, but Yusuke answered his question before he could even ask it.
"Kurama's a dad! That sneaky little bastard never told us, but he and Amaya are parents!"
"What?" Dawn asked, raising an eyebrow and putting a hand on her hip. "That bookworm couldn't get a girlfriend if he tried, I bet."
"No, really!" He showed them a book, and it had a picture of Amaya in it. At the bottom, it said, 'Amaya has one child, Naomi, by Youko Kurama [currently in the body of Minamino Shuichi].'
"Damn…well, he had his kid when he wasn't a dorky bookworm, so that explains a lot." Dawn commented.
"So where are Chuu and Naomi?" Kano asked.
"Well, Naomi freaked out, and went storming off, because she said she was going to find Kurama and, I quote, 'Beat the shit out of him, then yell at him, then beat the shit out of him some more'." Yusuke said.
"As violent as her father." Kano said, shaking his head.
Midori sighed. "Amaya really didn't want Naomi-chan to find out like that. She wanted to tell her herself."
Yukina came running into the room, stopping and panting out, "Minna-san, Shiori-san is awake!"
"Damn!" Yusuke cursed. "Of all the times for her to wake up, it had to be now!"
Hiei stood. "I have a bad feeling about those two. I'm going to go try to find them. Detective, you take care of the kitsune's mother."
He started to turn away, but Yukina called after him.
"Hiei-san, wait!"
He glanced back at her. "What?"
"Ano…I'll take care of Kurama-san's mother. You all should go and take care of Amaya-san and Kurama-san."
"Are you sure?" He asked.
She nodded, and smiled. "I can handle it. But should I tell her about Kurama-san?"
Yusuke rubbed the back of his head. "I…yes. I guess you'll have to, Yukina. Tell her everything. Just…don't let her know about him being in danger right now."
She nodded, then gave a bow. "Hai!"
She turned and left, and Hiei sighed. His sister really was compassionate when it came to things like this…
Hi…help…astle…Tsuki…Amaya…girl.
The telepathic message came garbled and distorted.
Kitsune? Where are you? He replied.
astle…help…ease…Amaya…trouble…
Damn it, I can't understand you! Speak slowly and clearly, and maybe that will help. He growled.
Amaya…in danger…quick…castle with Tsuki…not really…evil…something about…necklace…Naomi….away.
That was good enough for him.
"Kurama is in danger. Amaya's there with him." He turned around, and looked at Kuwabara. "You. Find Naomi, and make sure she doesn't follow us."
"What? Why me?!" He exclaimed.
"Because. We'll need our strongest fighters to come, not our weakest." He said.
"Hey, shrimp! I'm not weak!" He called after them as they dashed away.
Not only that, Hiei thought as they started towards the place where Kurama's message had come from, but I actually have a bad feeling about this. Yukina will need one of us to stay alive…
~*~
* - Chikusho is so strong, it can also be translated as 'Fuck!' Kurama was quite angry to be using something as strong as that.
Author's Notes : Oooooh. Cryptic. And now Kurama has seen Tsuki (the little girl one). And what's this about Amaya's necklace? And will Kuwa-chan actually be able to hold Naomi back if she finds out? Will I ever shut up with these annoying questions?
Important! I just posted Naomi's picture on the website! Go check it out! I think it came out rather well. ^____^
Also, just to tease you all, the rest of the story is down on paper already. I've got everything planned out - but the thing is, you'll need to pay attention to every little detail from the last chapter on out. Almost everything will play a part in the end.
Katie E. : Awww! I like the little Tsuki! She's so freaky she's cool! And compared to some of my other chapters, it is short.
FieryKitsune : *grins* Queen of Suspense? Cool! I'm proud to have earned that title from one of my reviewers. And if you think that was suspenseful, wait until a little later. Then you'll be sobbing at the end for more. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!
DarkVixenNisha : Okay! You're on the list, Nisha-chan! My mailing list - not my hit list. ^___^
Shessha's Crazy : I think she just did. :3 I really like that face! It's cute! :3
miyako14 : Huh...we must be related then, because my mom calls me the 'Spawn of Satan'. LOL. And I'll try to update my stories equally - I really would rahter finish this one off, then finish off the others.
Blue Pixie Dust : You have a story? Cool! I'll check it out when I get a moment of free time to myself. And Tsuki is violent because she's that way!! Everything will piece together in the end.
Kaija Katake : You haven't reviewed in forever, but I'm glad to see that you're back! Also, I think it explains a bit more about the little girl, but we'll find out exactly who she is a bit later. You'll have to wait for chapter 17 or so.
Ookami Aya : Yeah, fanfiction.net has been really wierd lately. Like, it will send me an e-mail alert when someone reviews, but it only does it for certain people. It's really really weird.
Psychocatgal : Yes, there are quite a few chapter left. And yes, this is the last story in the series. And I'm not quite sure how many chapters are left, exactly.
Story Weaver1 : *grins* We'll see if your theory is right or not later on, won't we?
crimson7319 : It was supposed to be some subtle humor there. Everything about her is red, orange - hot colors. But her name means green. LOL.
