Kurama: rubs Kilala's back
Taika: Don't flame the mistress or I'll flame you! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Kilala: RUN!
Disclaimer: If I owned YYH, I would marry Kurama and Kuwabara would be killed. (Sorry Kuwa fans, I don't like him much, I can tolerate him, but he did lose most of his Dark Tournament matches..... or was it all of them..... I forget.)
At Sarayaski Jr. High
Ice watched from the roof, watching for Kuwabara or Yusuke. She sighed, 'What's taking..... what do we have here?' she thought and leapt from the roof, landing in the shade. Kuwabara and Yusuke were talking about her coming to find them. 'Perfect timing!' She thought, and slowly came out from the shadows, letting them sweep over her features making them look scary. Kuwabara pointed at her and stuttered. "What's wrong, Kuwabara?" Yusuke asked, looking confused. "Hello, reikai tentai." Ice said, speaking evilly. "AHHH!" Yusuke screamed and turned to face her. She chuckled evilly. "What do you want with my friend?" She asked, Yusuke, knowing what she meant, said, "Nothing! We were looking for a Yoh-Ko!" Yusuke yelled. She smiled evilly and melted into the shadows.
In the park
Hiei leapt from tree to tree, running from the strange girl who could keep up with him. 'Damn she's persistent, if I wouldn't be sent to reikai prison for killing her I would kill her just to get it over with.' He thought. Suddenly the girl was in font of him. "What do you want with my friend!" She demanded, a katana to his throat and one to his chest. "Hn." Hiei answered. The girl glared, "Don't steal my word, baka." She said. "Hn." Hiei replied. "Answer the question!" She demanded. "What was the question?" He asked. "What do the reikai tentai want with Mia?" She asked. Hiei shrugged, "We're looking for a Yoh-Ko, not a human." He answered. "I see...." She said, sheathing her katanas, she disappeared. "Strange." Hiei muttered and disappeared as well.
At the place where Mia lives!
T.K paced around the house. "T.K., calm down. It's all right. I'm sure they didn't do anything to hurt Shuiichi." Mia said, stroking the fox every time it passed, T. K. looked at her and sneezed. "Bless you!" Mia said. T. K. sneezed. "Bless you!" Mia said. "WE'RE HOME!" Ice's voice echoed through the house. Mia and T.K. ran to the back door. "They weren't after you." Pyro said and threw herself down on the couch. "Then, how come they fought me?" Mia asked. "Their looking for a Yoh-Ko." Ice said. T.K.'s eyes widened and she shot off through the house. Mia sighed. "Poor T.K....." She whispered. "WHO WANTS DINNER?!" She yelled. "I DO!" Ice, Pyro, and Hakana yelled, raising their hands. Mia walked into the kitchen and opened up a huge refrigerator, taking out meat and vegetables, she started on dinner.
FLASHBACK!
A young Mia at the age of three stood in font of a bakery window drooling, she was covered in dirt and her normally gold hair looked brown from it. Her stomach roared with hunger but she sucked it up. 'If you want it, take it, the world owes it to you.' A voice echoed in her mind. "The world owes it to me...." She repeated. She walked towards the door, grubby hand pushing it open. She moved silently until she saw paper sticking out of a lady's pocketbook, she grabbed it and gave it a once over, it was a shopping list. She smiled and walked to the front, putting it on the counter. "Mr.? Can you get me this stuffs?" She asked sweetly. "Of course sweetie." The baker said and took the list, walking off. 'Perfect!' The voice said. 'Sucker!' Mia thought and grabbed a basket of bread from the counter, turning and running for the door. "THIEF!" The lady she had stole the list from shouted. Mia's eyes widened and she rushed out the door, running down the sidewalk.
Mia heard the door burst open again and the sound of someone running to catch up with her, she was small and swift, and they were large and slow, but their legs were longer so they caught up to her much faster than she could have imagined. The baker snatched her up. "Little thief, you shouldn't go stealing things from people much faster and stronger than you." He said and turned, walking back towards the bakery. "LET ME GO! PUT ME DOWN!" Mia screamed, thrashing. "PUT HER DOWN!" A boy's voice yelled. The baker turned and then a rush of blue caught him in the face, in surprise he threw Mia and she went flying, crashing into a wall and falling down. "Wha?" She asked no one. The world started to get blurry and fade out, the face of a much older boy appeared in front of her. "Hey kid, ya all right?" He asked before the world went black.
END FLASHBACK!
Mia plopped down on the floor in the living room. 'Amazing how the thought of bread reminds me of that day..... Mr.Aoi was very nice, he didn't have to help me. He didn't even have to teach me how to fight, he didn't have to teach me anything! I sure do miss him though..... I wonder how he's doing?' Mia thought to herself, leaning against the wall. Suddenly the sound of knocking filled the house, causing all its occupants to freeze. They turned their heads to look at the door. "I'll get it." Mia said and got up, walking slowly for the door. Pyro, Hakana, Ice and T. K. watched her, poking their heads around the corner. Mia reached for the door and slowly turned the knob, it creaked open and she was greeted by deep blue hair, silver eyes, and a look of confusion. "Who are?" The boy started before Mia interrupted him. "MR.AOI!" She yelled and hugged him, well, more or less glomped him, he fell backwards, completely confused. "MR.AOI!" Hakana yelled and launched herself at the poor boy. "AHH!" He screamed and was hit again. Mia stopped hugging and looked up at him, now confused. "Mr.Aoi?" She asked him. His eyes swarmed with confusion and then regignition. "MIA!" He yelled and hugged her. "HAKANA!" He yelled again and hugged Hakana. "So, Mr.Aoi comes back?" Pyro asked, arms crossed and leaning against the door frame. Mr.Aoi got up, placing both girls down. "Pyronis. I'm surprised your still here." He said. "And I'm surprised you haven't aged a bit." Pyro said. Mia looked at him. "Youkai." She said. Mr.Aoi smiled. "You've caught me." He answered. 'And I thought I was surrounded by youkai already.' She thought.
KoEnma's office
KoEnma was pitching a fit, a makai youkai of legend was apparently not a legend and had escaped into the ningenkai. He was gonna have one sore behind if the reikai tentai didn't get here soon. Unfortunately the only info he had on the demon was that it had blue hair and had connections with three other youkai in the ningenkai. It wasn't much, but at the moment he had Jorge searching for more. Finally the door opened and in came Yusuke, followed by Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei. "FINALLY! YOUR HERE!" KoEnma yelled, leaning against the desk. "Yea, yea, what's the problem now?" Yusuke said. "THE PROBLEM! THE PROBLEM IS THAT A YOUKAI ESCAPED INTO THE NINGENKAI!" KoEnma roared, jumping onto the desk. "What kind of youkai?" Kurama inquired. "That's another problem." KoEnma muttered, sinking back into his chair. "You don't know what kind of youkai we're dealing with?" Hiei asked. KoEnma shook his head, "Jorge is looking that up as we speak." He said. As if on cue, Jorge walked in. "I found some information on our demon!" He said, running over and putting a small CD into a CD player like thing behind KoEnma's desk.
On the screen was a picture of a boy with deep blue hair and silver eyes, his hair was cut kind of long, but still short and it was straight, he was wearing a silver shirt, dark blue pants and a dark blue vest. "Aoi Yukimoto." A computerized voice said, "Age: 17,014. Height: 5'11". Weight: 220 pounds. Species: Lightning." The voice continued. "Lightning demon, let me guess, controls lightning?" Yusuke asked. KoEnma nodded. "Contacts: Pyronis Higashi, Iceus Higashi, Hakana Higashi, and Mia Sakura." The voice said. "Mia?" Kurama questioned, eyes wide and eyebrow raised. Almost as though answering the question, the picture turned to one of Mia, her gold hair was down to her waist and in the bangs parted in the middle in the shape of a heart she was wearing a blue Chinese style dress with red roses and different colored foxes embroidered into it, where it held together at the top were two gold roses, her gold eyes shined with happiness. "Mia Sakura. Age: 14. Height: 5'7". Weight: 135 pounds. Species: Ningen." The voice said. Kuwabara drooled, Yusuke stared, and Hiei looked embarrassed. "That's the girl who I fought." He said. Kurama's eyes widened more. Then the picture switched to one of a hyper Hakana, she was wearing a long sleeved black shirt, long black pants, knee high black boots, elbow high black gloves, and a white scarf. "Hakana Higashi. Age: 15. Height: 4'0" . Weight: 100 pounds. Species: Fire hanyou." The voice said, Kuwabara laughed "SHE'S SHORTER THAN SHORTY!" He yelled. Then it turned to one of Iceus, she was wearing all black with blue flames, a shirt, jacket, and pants, with a belt hanging sideways on her waist. "Iceus Higashi. Age: 98. Height: 6'4". Weight: 250 pounds. Species: Forbidden Child." The voice said, no one spoke. Lastly the picture turned to one of Pyro, she was wearing the same clothes as Hakana, only the scarf was sea foam green and she was wearing a sash and her trademark headband, both katanas were around her waist. "Pyronis Higashi. Age: 98. Height: 4'9". Weight: 120 pounds. Species: Forbidden Child." The voice said, everyone was quiet. "Three Forbidden Children..." Hiei said, before turning to leave.
"Wait!" KoEnma said. Hiei stopped and looked at the screen. "Current." The voice said before it opened to a picture of a garden, Mia was sitting on the side of a fountain with the strange cinnamon fox on her lap waving its tails. Pyro and Ice were fighting, next to her was Aoi, talking while she nodded. Hakana was laying spread eagle on the ground with fox kits chewing on her scarf and playing with her hair. "So, Mia, I need your help on this." Aoi said. "Sure Mr.Aoi, I'll help." She said, despite agreeing to whatever it was her voice was nervous and her eyes seemed worried. Aoi laughed. "Ya don't gotta call me Mr.Aoi, Aoi'll do just fine." He told her. "Right Mr....... right Aoi!" Mia said smiling like this: . Aoi laughed. Pyro went skidding over the grass and crashed into the fountain, falling in. Water splashed out and covered Aoi and Mia. Aoi laughed. "Pyro! Are you all right?!" Mia yelled pulling her half drowned friend out. Pyro looked like this: . Pyro shook her head and held it. "Ow.... ICE!" She yelled and launched herself at her sister. Mia sat back down. "Can't believe they wanna fight this late at night..." she sighed and shivered, her body just realized it was cold. Aoi plopped his soaked vest over her. "Arigatou Aoi!" Mia said and he smiled. "No prob." He answered. "So, when do we leave?" She asked him, sounding slightly sad. "As soon as they finish fighting and we get out of these wet clothes." Aoi answered. "Why not change now?" She asked, and as though to answer her question Ice got flung into the fountain, drenching them again. "Forget I asked." Mia said in an annoyed voice. Aoi laughed.
The disk then ejected itself and shattered. Kurama, Hiei, Yusuke, Kuwabara, KoEnma and Jorge face faulted, then got up sweatdropping. "Poor, poor disk, it lived such a short, unsatisfing life..." Kuwabara said, earning some stares. "Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight." Yusuke said. Kurama sighed, but no one noticed, they were all arguing with Kuwabara. 'It's all coming together, strangely, but its coming together.' He thought. He walked out, and no one but Hiei noticed, who "Hn"ed and sat down at the window sill.
LATER THAT NIGHT AFTER THE CHAOS ENDS!
Mia was dressed in a shirt and pant version of the Chinese style dress, her eyes hard like gold and black diamonds, Aoi stood beside her on the roof of a museum, behind them were all of the adult foxes, which was about 150. Mia reached down and carefully removed a glass panel, the foxes leapt down, then Aoi grabbed her around the waist and jumped too, he put her down carefully. Mia walked forward, her pupils widened till only a hairs length of gold was left and stopped. "Stay here." She whispered, Aoi nodded. Mia ran forward and flipped forward, crouched down and walked forward like that, turned sideways and flipped, did a cartwheel, hoped forward a bit while moving her head side to side, and the ducked while jumping sideways. All this looked funny, but not to Aoi who knew that she alone could see the red light that should have been invisible to her, finally she stood and flipped a switch, Aoi and the foxes walked forward. He formed a spirit sword and started slicing the cameras while Mia ran forward on all fours, T. K. on her back and the foxes behind her. T. K. jumped off when they reached the center exipet. A large, jewel encrusted, porcelain vase. Mia stood up and pulled an exact replica out, she handed it to Aoi who quickly switched them. "Go take what you want, I've got what I came for." Aoi said and Mia, T.K., and all 150 foxes split up.
Mia ran along the halls, stealing gems, necklaces, statues, anything of value that could fit in her sack, and shiny things here and there and putting them in a sack, eventually that sack filled up and she tied it around her neck, she pulled out another and ran along filling it up too, jumping over and dodging the infeared lights that showed up every now and then. T.K. showed up and had nothing with her. Mia smiled and tied the sack to the fox, who in turn jumped at Mia knocking her down. Mia cursed silently as the fox curled up on her back, then Mia ran along on all fours, snatching what she could and putting it in the sack. "T.K., this was hard enough without you on my back." She told the fox, looking back at her, not noticing a gem she'd dropped. She put her hand down on it and started to fall forward, eyes widening with sudden fear as she noticed the light infront of her. "Shit." She said as the alarms started going off, she pulled herself up and put the gem in the now full sack, despite the situation T.K. wouldn't move, Mia let out a growl and picked the sack up in her mouth. Her eyes were narrowed as she bounded down the halls, no longer trotting, but moving both arms and both legs making her run faster. As she ran foxes joined her and soon all 150 foxes were behind her, she turned and saw Aoi waiting for her under the place where they came in, a rope ladder with wooden steps had been put up for the foxes, he grabbed her around her waist and jumped up, landing back on the roof, up came the foxes, Aoi pulled the ladder up, dropped the glass back in, and away they ran, off into the night.
MIA'S WONDERFUL LITTLE HOME!
Mia and Aoi were sitting in the garden, going through all the had stolen. "Trinkets!" Aoi said throwing down a bag of ancient Egyptian reliecs one fox had stolen, Mia caught it and placed it down gently. "Aoi, in the ningenkai someone would give up everything just to have one of these." She said, pulling out a large golden scarab, eyes saddened at the fact the fox was scolded for doing such a good job. Aoi sighed. "In the makai everyone would have those." He said and Mia put it back. "Aoi, you must really lower your expitations of the foxes, we're just like them. We see something that looks valuable, is pretty, or is shiny and we have to have it." Mia said. Aoi laughed. "Your right." He agreed. Mia smiled and pulled a gray fox onto her lap and began to brush it's fur, then she yawned. "I better go to bed, it's gonna be a looooooooong day at school." She said, getting up and holding onto the fox. "G'night Mia." Aoi said. "Night!" Mia said and ran off to bed. Aoi sighed. "Humans grow up so fast. The next time I come by to check on her she'll probably have her own kids." Aoi said to himself, he shook his head and walked to the fountain where he was sleeping. Pyro looked at Hakana's window. 'He's right.... in a few years my little sister will look older than me.' She thought before turning away from the house and going to sleep.
Doncha just love school?
The teachers weren't in their class rooms. That was the first sign that something was wrong. The students weren't acting up. This was the second sign something was wrong. The third and final sign that something was wrong was the fact that Mia was asleep with her head inside her locker. All Kurama could do was stare at it. There was no way that the students would normally be that quiet, and Kurama had known for a while that Mia had always been a good student, except for the ocasional late homework, she had never been known to do anything worng.... since Jr high. Then again, strange things happened, so Kurama just pulled Mia out of her locker and sat her down, then he walked into class and waited.
It wasn't long before he relized that no one was moving, or breathing. 'It's a time frezze.' Kurama thought. KoEnma had obviously froze time for an important reason, so maybe it was because something needed to be done. Kurama decided he'd move everyone out of the school, just in case. So off he went, moving students and the teachers, who were in the teachers lounge, out of the school. Before long only three more students were left. Mia was one of them. Just as he was about to go in, the time frezze wore off. Everyone was confused, and then, the earthquake started.
With Mia
Mia blinked, looking around. Suddenly the school started shaking and she jumped up. If she'd been at home her thoughts would have been to get somewhere safe, but Mia was a very caring indivitual, she would only save herself if everyone else was saved. She'd often been told by Pyro that it was best to save her own hide, in makai you couldn't care for no one, to care was to be weak and to be weak was to die. Mia was stubborn, once she was one way, she didn't change back. So off she ran, balancing perfectly on four legs. She was running like a fox, and she knew that, and she knew this was another thing to add to the list of her fox like attributes which Hakana used against her. Her ears ached because of the loud rumbling, and all the dust made it hard to see and breathe. She knew that if anyone else was inside, they'd be just as bad off as she was. So onward she ran, searching through the hallways for life.
Kurama's POV (Somthing I haven't tried before!)
I barely got in the door before it collapsed behind me. I'd just have to hope a wall would open up for me. I searched the hall where I'd left Mia, she was gone. I sighed, she must've woken up and took off. I had to find the other two, Mia worked with demons, so she should be able to take care of herself. Right? I ran down the oposite hall and heard screaming coming from a broom closet. I opened it to find a black haired girl crouching in the corner, ears covered, eyes closed, screaming for all she was worth. I decided it would be too hard to calm her down, so I grabbed her arm and jerked her out, she only screamed louder. As if the earthquake wasn't loud enough! I took a risk and used my rose whip to cut open a nearby wall, her eyes were closed and we would die if I didn't. I put my rose whip away and put her outside. Lucky for me no one was on that side.
I ran off again, searching for the next one. I knew exactly how many people attended this school, and I knew exactly how many people I'd resuced. Mia and this person where the only ones left. I ran on, praying that the school wouldn't collapse about my ears. I tried to keep myself balanced, but yoh-ko instinct kicked in and I set off on all fours. I couldn't smell anyone with all the dust, and I couldn't see a thing. My sensitive ears hurt from the rumbling. I'd been in here for 3 minutes, shouldn't the earthquake be over soon? Finally I spotted the last person, a boy with orangeish hair, much like Kuwabara's, only it was cut close to his head. I was about to grab him when Mia came out of nowhere on all fours like I was and pulled him into a classroom, I don't think she saw me. I poked my head in to see her trying to get him to climb out the window. Did I mention we were on the top floor? The first thought in my head was that poor Mia had finally lost it. Must have been the demons she hangs out with.
"Please, trust me. Its safer out there than in here!" She pleaded with him. "No way! I am not jumping out that window!" He yelled at her. Mia's always been shy, so it must have been the earthquake that had finally caused her to get some courage. She grabbed his arm and tried to shove him out the window, with him kicking and screaming like a baby. "Inmature litte twit." She muttered and she got him to the window. "Theres a tree out there, jump into it and climb down!" She yelled over the earthquake, it I learned she could be very persuasive. The guy gulpled and jumped for it, barely making it. I saw the vines snaking their way up the tree. She was using her powers to help him. At first I could have swore on my word as a fox that it was reiki coming from Mia, but then I remembred that only youki controlled plants. I looked deeper into the reiki and found a small trace of youki. Mia was either purposly masking her youki with reiki, or she was part demon, and if this was true, how come the file on her said she was human?
The boy used the vine to climb down, and then the building stopped shaking. I knew that the after shock was coming. "Mia!" I called out to her and her eyes widened and she turned to see me. "Shuiichi?" She questioned. "This way! Hurry! The after shocks coming!" I yelled. She nodded and I ran out the door and down the hall, Mia matching me step for step. I decided that I wouldn't confront her, for now anyway, but I would tell the others of my discovery. Mia suddenly said very calmly. "The after shock.... it's going to happen in a few seconds." I wondered how she knew, but I didn't critize her judgment. We were hit with the after shock in the next few seconds, just as she'd said. The next thing I knew Mia was bounding ahead of me on all fours, I quicky followed suit and caught up. She was fast, meaning she must use this way of running often. It didn't matter at the moment. If I didn't get out of there, chances were I wouldn't see my mother again. I reached the hole I'd made earlier and stood up, Mia did the same, I motioned for her to go first, her cheeks turned pink and ran out, turning to look at me. "Hurry Shuiichi!" She yelled, I stepped outside and then watched as some rubble fell and blocked it. I looked at Mia, how did she know?
And now for the fun of it, Mia's POV!
I felt my cheeks heat up, I didn't have to be a psychic to know Shuiichi was wondering how I'd known. Hell! I didn't even know how I'd known. Maybe it was that voice... The voice that always told me these things. I didn't want to think of that now. "Yes?" I asked. I'd like to think my voice was clear, but as usual around Shuiichi, it was small and insignificant, then again, arn't I already? "Come on, let's go find the other students. It would be best." He told me in a calming voice. If I'd been scared I would've calmed right down. He smiled in that wonderful way he does, I felt my cheeks heat up again. Shuiichi would have to be completly clueless to not notice I liked him. Then again... maybe he is slightly clueless.... sometimes..... only when it comes to me..... half the time... some of the time.... OK, he just didn't get I liked him. Though sometimes I think he knows me better than I do. I nodded and followed him as he walked around front. A thought hit me, what would the Shuiichi Minamino Fan Club think when they saw me and him coming around from the back of the school? I know what they'd think... I felt my cheeks heat up again at the thought.
I felt Pyro watching me from the trees. I wondered why she was here.Then I relized, the reason she was here was because despite trying to make us all think she could care less, I was the one who fed her and her sisters. If I died then she'd loose her home and her cook. I'd like to think it was because she'd be loosing a friend, but I knew better. I looked up to where she was hiding and smiled, I could see her eyes, the showed relief for a moment and then went back to showing nothing. Prehaps she did think of me as a friend, I'd like that. Then I saw Shuiichi's head move to look where I as looking. I quickly acted like I was watching a bird that was flying. I knew Shuiichi saw Pyro, he just had to have. I sighed mentaly when he turned his head, then tensed when he was looking at me. Shimatta! I saw the crowds. I wanted to get out of Shiichi's sight. I just had to make a run for it! Do you hear my thoughts, Shuiichi? Do you know that I like you? No, love you!? Do you know that just being in your sight makes me feel unworthy of anything?! Do you know that I want to be able to see you, but you not see me...? And do you know that at the same time I would do anything just to have it to where you loved me back...? But I'm not worthy. I'm not even worthy to be near you..... I felt my legs running before I had time to comprehend it. I felt Pyro enter my mind. 'Your such a baka, kitsune.' She thought to me before she broke the link, I was already half way down the street, so I yelled. "I AM NOT A KITSUNE!" I hoped she'd heard me, but I prayed that Shuiichi hadn't.
'Do you think your crazy?' The voice in my head asked me. 'If I hear you, then I am.' I answered back. I heard laughing. 'I already told you what I am. I already told you who Shuiichi is. And yet you don't beilieve me?' The voice asked. I felt a chill run down my spine, that voice was cold. Cold with 14 years of anger and unrelinquished revenge. This was the part of me I hopped never came out. I didn't want anyone to know she was there. Taka-Kai. She had to stay inside. She can't ever be released. She would go on a rampage if she was. I can't ever allow her to get free. I must keep her locked inside. It doesn't matter though, part of her is released. T.K. T.K. is like a copy of Taka-Kai. Taka-Kai is like my soul, my second soul. Because if she was my sould we'd be one and the same, but we're not. We're two sepreate souls sharing the same body. But I am the dominate soul despite Taka-Kai being stronger. I heard her laughing. 'Kurama couldn't hear you.' She said. I sighed. 'I know that.' I told her and walked on. Even now she wouldn't stop being mean to me. She wants me to say her name out loud. That's what will release her. I'm smarter than that. I'll show her. I swear it.
Taka-Kai heard me, I know that. I know alot of things, things I wish I didn't. Normally Taka-Kai's quite nice to me, she and I being one and the same, but lately.... well.... she's been a little odd. It's been a month since she told me about what happened. I've been trying to understand what she meant by 15 years. I'm 14! Not 15! She must have been counting the 9 months before I was born. That would explain it. As much as I understand Taka-Kai, I can't let her out. She'll hurt people going after Mitsubo. I hear someone behind me, I feel tears running down my cheeks from the painful memories that arn't even mine. Who ever is behind me, who ever is chassing me, they better go away. I swore no one would ever see me cry. No one... I feel a hand on my shoulder and now I'm face to face with my love, Shuiichi Minamino. No. He can't see me like this! But his hand on my shoulder makes me blush, I look down. Wow! Look at who pretty the side walk is! It's soooooooo interesting! "Mia, are you alright?" I hear him ask, I nod. I know he doesn't beilieve me. "No your not, Mia. You can trust me, tell me, what's wrong?" He asks again. I want to tell him, but I can't. My voice just can't get out. I feel his eyes burning into the top of my head. Shuiichi, please, leave, but he doesn't, instead he hugs me and rubs my back, telling me it's OK and to let it all out. I feel my face heat up. I'm still crying. Why now? Why now of all times does he hug me? I'm still crying, and he's still hugging me. Pyro's watching, I can sense that, she'll tell Ice and Hakana and I'll be in trouble, yet, Shuiichi's hug is making me feel better. So I relax and let the tears flow. All of Taka-Kai's memories and tears merge with my own, and I just cry. But I feel safe. Like I can cry here, and no one will care. Shuiichi doesn't even care if my unworthy tears stain his shirt, or the dirt gets on him. It's a good feeling, this feeling I have, this feeling of belonging. Now I know how Taka-Kai felt with Youko Kurama, and I hope I can always feel this way with Shuiichi...

At Sarayaski Jr. High
Ice watched from the roof, watching for Kuwabara or Yusuke. She sighed, 'What's taking..... what do we have here?' she thought and leapt from the roof, landing in the shade. Kuwabara and Yusuke were talking about her coming to find them. 'Perfect timing!' She thought, and slowly came out from the shadows, letting them sweep over her features making them look scary. Kuwabara pointed at her and stuttered. "What's wrong, Kuwabara?" Yusuke asked, looking confused. "Hello, reikai tentai." Ice said, speaking evilly. "AHHH!" Yusuke screamed and turned to face her. She chuckled evilly. "What do you want with my friend?" She asked, Yusuke, knowing what she meant, said, "Nothing! We were looking for a Yoh-Ko!" Yusuke yelled. She smiled evilly and melted into the shadows.
In the park
Hiei leapt from tree to tree, running from the strange girl who could keep up with him. 'Damn she's persistent, if I wouldn't be sent to reikai prison for killing her I would kill her just to get it over with.' He thought. Suddenly the girl was in font of him. "What do you want with my friend!" She demanded, a katana to his throat and one to his chest. "Hn." Hiei answered. The girl glared, "Don't steal my word, baka." She said. "Hn." Hiei replied. "Answer the question!" She demanded. "What was the question?" He asked. "What do the reikai tentai want with Mia?" She asked. Hiei shrugged, "We're looking for a Yoh-Ko, not a human." He answered. "I see...." She said, sheathing her katanas, she disappeared. "Strange." Hiei muttered and disappeared as well.
At the place where Mia lives!
T.K paced around the house. "T.K., calm down. It's all right. I'm sure they didn't do anything to hurt Shuiichi." Mia said, stroking the fox every time it passed, T. K. looked at her and sneezed. "Bless you!" Mia said. T. K. sneezed. "Bless you!" Mia said. "WE'RE HOME!" Ice's voice echoed through the house. Mia and T.K. ran to the back door. "They weren't after you." Pyro said and threw herself down on the couch. "Then, how come they fought me?" Mia asked. "Their looking for a Yoh-Ko." Ice said. T.K.'s eyes widened and she shot off through the house. Mia sighed. "Poor T.K....." She whispered. "WHO WANTS DINNER?!" She yelled. "I DO!" Ice, Pyro, and Hakana yelled, raising their hands. Mia walked into the kitchen and opened up a huge refrigerator, taking out meat and vegetables, she started on dinner.
FLASHBACK!
A young Mia at the age of three stood in font of a bakery window drooling, she was covered in dirt and her normally gold hair looked brown from it. Her stomach roared with hunger but she sucked it up. 'If you want it, take it, the world owes it to you.' A voice echoed in her mind. "The world owes it to me...." She repeated. She walked towards the door, grubby hand pushing it open. She moved silently until she saw paper sticking out of a lady's pocketbook, she grabbed it and gave it a once over, it was a shopping list. She smiled and walked to the front, putting it on the counter. "Mr.? Can you get me this stuffs?" She asked sweetly. "Of course sweetie." The baker said and took the list, walking off. 'Perfect!' The voice said. 'Sucker!' Mia thought and grabbed a basket of bread from the counter, turning and running for the door. "THIEF!" The lady she had stole the list from shouted. Mia's eyes widened and she rushed out the door, running down the sidewalk.
Mia heard the door burst open again and the sound of someone running to catch up with her, she was small and swift, and they were large and slow, but their legs were longer so they caught up to her much faster than she could have imagined. The baker snatched her up. "Little thief, you shouldn't go stealing things from people much faster and stronger than you." He said and turned, walking back towards the bakery. "LET ME GO! PUT ME DOWN!" Mia screamed, thrashing. "PUT HER DOWN!" A boy's voice yelled. The baker turned and then a rush of blue caught him in the face, in surprise he threw Mia and she went flying, crashing into a wall and falling down. "Wha?" She asked no one. The world started to get blurry and fade out, the face of a much older boy appeared in front of her. "Hey kid, ya all right?" He asked before the world went black.
END FLASHBACK!
Mia plopped down on the floor in the living room. 'Amazing how the thought of bread reminds me of that day..... Mr.Aoi was very nice, he didn't have to help me. He didn't even have to teach me how to fight, he didn't have to teach me anything! I sure do miss him though..... I wonder how he's doing?' Mia thought to herself, leaning against the wall. Suddenly the sound of knocking filled the house, causing all its occupants to freeze. They turned their heads to look at the door. "I'll get it." Mia said and got up, walking slowly for the door. Pyro, Hakana, Ice and T. K. watched her, poking their heads around the corner. Mia reached for the door and slowly turned the knob, it creaked open and she was greeted by deep blue hair, silver eyes, and a look of confusion. "Who are?" The boy started before Mia interrupted him. "MR.AOI!" She yelled and hugged him, well, more or less glomped him, he fell backwards, completely confused. "MR.AOI!" Hakana yelled and launched herself at the poor boy. "AHH!" He screamed and was hit again. Mia stopped hugging and looked up at him, now confused. "Mr.Aoi?" She asked him. His eyes swarmed with confusion and then regignition. "MIA!" He yelled and hugged her. "HAKANA!" He yelled again and hugged Hakana. "So, Mr.Aoi comes back?" Pyro asked, arms crossed and leaning against the door frame. Mr.Aoi got up, placing both girls down. "Pyronis. I'm surprised your still here." He said. "And I'm surprised you haven't aged a bit." Pyro said. Mia looked at him. "Youkai." She said. Mr.Aoi smiled. "You've caught me." He answered. 'And I thought I was surrounded by youkai already.' She thought.
KoEnma's office
KoEnma was pitching a fit, a makai youkai of legend was apparently not a legend and had escaped into the ningenkai. He was gonna have one sore behind if the reikai tentai didn't get here soon. Unfortunately the only info he had on the demon was that it had blue hair and had connections with three other youkai in the ningenkai. It wasn't much, but at the moment he had Jorge searching for more. Finally the door opened and in came Yusuke, followed by Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei. "FINALLY! YOUR HERE!" KoEnma yelled, leaning against the desk. "Yea, yea, what's the problem now?" Yusuke said. "THE PROBLEM! THE PROBLEM IS THAT A YOUKAI ESCAPED INTO THE NINGENKAI!" KoEnma roared, jumping onto the desk. "What kind of youkai?" Kurama inquired. "That's another problem." KoEnma muttered, sinking back into his chair. "You don't know what kind of youkai we're dealing with?" Hiei asked. KoEnma shook his head, "Jorge is looking that up as we speak." He said. As if on cue, Jorge walked in. "I found some information on our demon!" He said, running over and putting a small CD into a CD player like thing behind KoEnma's desk.
On the screen was a picture of a boy with deep blue hair and silver eyes, his hair was cut kind of long, but still short and it was straight, he was wearing a silver shirt, dark blue pants and a dark blue vest. "Aoi Yukimoto." A computerized voice said, "Age: 17,014. Height: 5'11". Weight: 220 pounds. Species: Lightning." The voice continued. "Lightning demon, let me guess, controls lightning?" Yusuke asked. KoEnma nodded. "Contacts: Pyronis Higashi, Iceus Higashi, Hakana Higashi, and Mia Sakura." The voice said. "Mia?" Kurama questioned, eyes wide and eyebrow raised. Almost as though answering the question, the picture turned to one of Mia, her gold hair was down to her waist and in the bangs parted in the middle in the shape of a heart she was wearing a blue Chinese style dress with red roses and different colored foxes embroidered into it, where it held together at the top were two gold roses, her gold eyes shined with happiness. "Mia Sakura. Age: 14. Height: 5'7". Weight: 135 pounds. Species: Ningen." The voice said. Kuwabara drooled, Yusuke stared, and Hiei looked embarrassed. "That's the girl who I fought." He said. Kurama's eyes widened more. Then the picture switched to one of a hyper Hakana, she was wearing a long sleeved black shirt, long black pants, knee high black boots, elbow high black gloves, and a white scarf. "Hakana Higashi. Age: 15. Height: 4'0" . Weight: 100 pounds. Species: Fire hanyou." The voice said, Kuwabara laughed "SHE'S SHORTER THAN SHORTY!" He yelled. Then it turned to one of Iceus, she was wearing all black with blue flames, a shirt, jacket, and pants, with a belt hanging sideways on her waist. "Iceus Higashi. Age: 98. Height: 6'4". Weight: 250 pounds. Species: Forbidden Child." The voice said, no one spoke. Lastly the picture turned to one of Pyro, she was wearing the same clothes as Hakana, only the scarf was sea foam green and she was wearing a sash and her trademark headband, both katanas were around her waist. "Pyronis Higashi. Age: 98. Height: 4'9". Weight: 120 pounds. Species: Forbidden Child." The voice said, everyone was quiet. "Three Forbidden Children..." Hiei said, before turning to leave.
"Wait!" KoEnma said. Hiei stopped and looked at the screen. "Current." The voice said before it opened to a picture of a garden, Mia was sitting on the side of a fountain with the strange cinnamon fox on her lap waving its tails. Pyro and Ice were fighting, next to her was Aoi, talking while she nodded. Hakana was laying spread eagle on the ground with fox kits chewing on her scarf and playing with her hair. "So, Mia, I need your help on this." Aoi said. "Sure Mr.Aoi, I'll help." She said, despite agreeing to whatever it was her voice was nervous and her eyes seemed worried. Aoi laughed. "Ya don't gotta call me Mr.Aoi, Aoi'll do just fine." He told her. "Right Mr....... right Aoi!" Mia said smiling like this: . Aoi laughed. Pyro went skidding over the grass and crashed into the fountain, falling in. Water splashed out and covered Aoi and Mia. Aoi laughed. "Pyro! Are you all right?!" Mia yelled pulling her half drowned friend out. Pyro looked like this: . Pyro shook her head and held it. "Ow.... ICE!" She yelled and launched herself at her sister. Mia sat back down. "Can't believe they wanna fight this late at night..." she sighed and shivered, her body just realized it was cold. Aoi plopped his soaked vest over her. "Arigatou Aoi!" Mia said and he smiled. "No prob." He answered. "So, when do we leave?" She asked him, sounding slightly sad. "As soon as they finish fighting and we get out of these wet clothes." Aoi answered. "Why not change now?" She asked, and as though to answer her question Ice got flung into the fountain, drenching them again. "Forget I asked." Mia said in an annoyed voice. Aoi laughed.
The disk then ejected itself and shattered. Kurama, Hiei, Yusuke, Kuwabara, KoEnma and Jorge face faulted, then got up sweatdropping. "Poor, poor disk, it lived such a short, unsatisfing life..." Kuwabara said, earning some stares. "Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight." Yusuke said. Kurama sighed, but no one noticed, they were all arguing with Kuwabara. 'It's all coming together, strangely, but its coming together.' He thought. He walked out, and no one but Hiei noticed, who "Hn"ed and sat down at the window sill.
LATER THAT NIGHT AFTER THE CHAOS ENDS!
Mia was dressed in a shirt and pant version of the Chinese style dress, her eyes hard like gold and black diamonds, Aoi stood beside her on the roof of a museum, behind them were all of the adult foxes, which was about 150. Mia reached down and carefully removed a glass panel, the foxes leapt down, then Aoi grabbed her around the waist and jumped too, he put her down carefully. Mia walked forward, her pupils widened till only a hairs length of gold was left and stopped. "Stay here." She whispered, Aoi nodded. Mia ran forward and flipped forward, crouched down and walked forward like that, turned sideways and flipped, did a cartwheel, hoped forward a bit while moving her head side to side, and the ducked while jumping sideways. All this looked funny, but not to Aoi who knew that she alone could see the red light that should have been invisible to her, finally she stood and flipped a switch, Aoi and the foxes walked forward. He formed a spirit sword and started slicing the cameras while Mia ran forward on all fours, T. K. on her back and the foxes behind her. T. K. jumped off when they reached the center exipet. A large, jewel encrusted, porcelain vase. Mia stood up and pulled an exact replica out, she handed it to Aoi who quickly switched them. "Go take what you want, I've got what I came for." Aoi said and Mia, T.K., and all 150 foxes split up.
Mia ran along the halls, stealing gems, necklaces, statues, anything of value that could fit in her sack, and shiny things here and there and putting them in a sack, eventually that sack filled up and she tied it around her neck, she pulled out another and ran along filling it up too, jumping over and dodging the infeared lights that showed up every now and then. T.K. showed up and had nothing with her. Mia smiled and tied the sack to the fox, who in turn jumped at Mia knocking her down. Mia cursed silently as the fox curled up on her back, then Mia ran along on all fours, snatching what she could and putting it in the sack. "T.K., this was hard enough without you on my back." She told the fox, looking back at her, not noticing a gem she'd dropped. She put her hand down on it and started to fall forward, eyes widening with sudden fear as she noticed the light infront of her. "Shit." She said as the alarms started going off, she pulled herself up and put the gem in the now full sack, despite the situation T.K. wouldn't move, Mia let out a growl and picked the sack up in her mouth. Her eyes were narrowed as she bounded down the halls, no longer trotting, but moving both arms and both legs making her run faster. As she ran foxes joined her and soon all 150 foxes were behind her, she turned and saw Aoi waiting for her under the place where they came in, a rope ladder with wooden steps had been put up for the foxes, he grabbed her around her waist and jumped up, landing back on the roof, up came the foxes, Aoi pulled the ladder up, dropped the glass back in, and away they ran, off into the night.
MIA'S WONDERFUL LITTLE HOME!
Mia and Aoi were sitting in the garden, going through all the had stolen. "Trinkets!" Aoi said throwing down a bag of ancient Egyptian reliecs one fox had stolen, Mia caught it and placed it down gently. "Aoi, in the ningenkai someone would give up everything just to have one of these." She said, pulling out a large golden scarab, eyes saddened at the fact the fox was scolded for doing such a good job. Aoi sighed. "In the makai everyone would have those." He said and Mia put it back. "Aoi, you must really lower your expitations of the foxes, we're just like them. We see something that looks valuable, is pretty, or is shiny and we have to have it." Mia said. Aoi laughed. "Your right." He agreed. Mia smiled and pulled a gray fox onto her lap and began to brush it's fur, then she yawned. "I better go to bed, it's gonna be a looooooooong day at school." She said, getting up and holding onto the fox. "G'night Mia." Aoi said. "Night!" Mia said and ran off to bed. Aoi sighed. "Humans grow up so fast. The next time I come by to check on her she'll probably have her own kids." Aoi said to himself, he shook his head and walked to the fountain where he was sleeping. Pyro looked at Hakana's window. 'He's right.... in a few years my little sister will look older than me.' She thought before turning away from the house and going to sleep.
Doncha just love school?
The teachers weren't in their class rooms. That was the first sign that something was wrong. The students weren't acting up. This was the second sign something was wrong. The third and final sign that something was wrong was the fact that Mia was asleep with her head inside her locker. All Kurama could do was stare at it. There was no way that the students would normally be that quiet, and Kurama had known for a while that Mia had always been a good student, except for the ocasional late homework, she had never been known to do anything worng.... since Jr high. Then again, strange things happened, so Kurama just pulled Mia out of her locker and sat her down, then he walked into class and waited.
It wasn't long before he relized that no one was moving, or breathing. 'It's a time frezze.' Kurama thought. KoEnma had obviously froze time for an important reason, so maybe it was because something needed to be done. Kurama decided he'd move everyone out of the school, just in case. So off he went, moving students and the teachers, who were in the teachers lounge, out of the school. Before long only three more students were left. Mia was one of them. Just as he was about to go in, the time frezze wore off. Everyone was confused, and then, the earthquake started.
With Mia
Mia blinked, looking around. Suddenly the school started shaking and she jumped up. If she'd been at home her thoughts would have been to get somewhere safe, but Mia was a very caring indivitual, she would only save herself if everyone else was saved. She'd often been told by Pyro that it was best to save her own hide, in makai you couldn't care for no one, to care was to be weak and to be weak was to die. Mia was stubborn, once she was one way, she didn't change back. So off she ran, balancing perfectly on four legs. She was running like a fox, and she knew that, and she knew this was another thing to add to the list of her fox like attributes which Hakana used against her. Her ears ached because of the loud rumbling, and all the dust made it hard to see and breathe. She knew that if anyone else was inside, they'd be just as bad off as she was. So onward she ran, searching through the hallways for life.
Kurama's POV (Somthing I haven't tried before!)
I barely got in the door before it collapsed behind me. I'd just have to hope a wall would open up for me. I searched the hall where I'd left Mia, she was gone. I sighed, she must've woken up and took off. I had to find the other two, Mia worked with demons, so she should be able to take care of herself. Right? I ran down the oposite hall and heard screaming coming from a broom closet. I opened it to find a black haired girl crouching in the corner, ears covered, eyes closed, screaming for all she was worth. I decided it would be too hard to calm her down, so I grabbed her arm and jerked her out, she only screamed louder. As if the earthquake wasn't loud enough! I took a risk and used my rose whip to cut open a nearby wall, her eyes were closed and we would die if I didn't. I put my rose whip away and put her outside. Lucky for me no one was on that side.
I ran off again, searching for the next one. I knew exactly how many people attended this school, and I knew exactly how many people I'd resuced. Mia and this person where the only ones left. I ran on, praying that the school wouldn't collapse about my ears. I tried to keep myself balanced, but yoh-ko instinct kicked in and I set off on all fours. I couldn't smell anyone with all the dust, and I couldn't see a thing. My sensitive ears hurt from the rumbling. I'd been in here for 3 minutes, shouldn't the earthquake be over soon? Finally I spotted the last person, a boy with orangeish hair, much like Kuwabara's, only it was cut close to his head. I was about to grab him when Mia came out of nowhere on all fours like I was and pulled him into a classroom, I don't think she saw me. I poked my head in to see her trying to get him to climb out the window. Did I mention we were on the top floor? The first thought in my head was that poor Mia had finally lost it. Must have been the demons she hangs out with.
"Please, trust me. Its safer out there than in here!" She pleaded with him. "No way! I am not jumping out that window!" He yelled at her. Mia's always been shy, so it must have been the earthquake that had finally caused her to get some courage. She grabbed his arm and tried to shove him out the window, with him kicking and screaming like a baby. "Inmature litte twit." She muttered and she got him to the window. "Theres a tree out there, jump into it and climb down!" She yelled over the earthquake, it I learned she could be very persuasive. The guy gulpled and jumped for it, barely making it. I saw the vines snaking their way up the tree. She was using her powers to help him. At first I could have swore on my word as a fox that it was reiki coming from Mia, but then I remembred that only youki controlled plants. I looked deeper into the reiki and found a small trace of youki. Mia was either purposly masking her youki with reiki, or she was part demon, and if this was true, how come the file on her said she was human?
The boy used the vine to climb down, and then the building stopped shaking. I knew that the after shock was coming. "Mia!" I called out to her and her eyes widened and she turned to see me. "Shuiichi?" She questioned. "This way! Hurry! The after shocks coming!" I yelled. She nodded and I ran out the door and down the hall, Mia matching me step for step. I decided that I wouldn't confront her, for now anyway, but I would tell the others of my discovery. Mia suddenly said very calmly. "The after shock.... it's going to happen in a few seconds." I wondered how she knew, but I didn't critize her judgment. We were hit with the after shock in the next few seconds, just as she'd said. The next thing I knew Mia was bounding ahead of me on all fours, I quicky followed suit and caught up. She was fast, meaning she must use this way of running often. It didn't matter at the moment. If I didn't get out of there, chances were I wouldn't see my mother again. I reached the hole I'd made earlier and stood up, Mia did the same, I motioned for her to go first, her cheeks turned pink and ran out, turning to look at me. "Hurry Shuiichi!" She yelled, I stepped outside and then watched as some rubble fell and blocked it. I looked at Mia, how did she know?
And now for the fun of it, Mia's POV!
I felt my cheeks heat up, I didn't have to be a psychic to know Shuiichi was wondering how I'd known. Hell! I didn't even know how I'd known. Maybe it was that voice... The voice that always told me these things. I didn't want to think of that now. "Yes?" I asked. I'd like to think my voice was clear, but as usual around Shuiichi, it was small and insignificant, then again, arn't I already? "Come on, let's go find the other students. It would be best." He told me in a calming voice. If I'd been scared I would've calmed right down. He smiled in that wonderful way he does, I felt my cheeks heat up again. Shuiichi would have to be completly clueless to not notice I liked him. Then again... maybe he is slightly clueless.... sometimes..... only when it comes to me..... half the time... some of the time.... OK, he just didn't get I liked him. Though sometimes I think he knows me better than I do. I nodded and followed him as he walked around front. A thought hit me, what would the Shuiichi Minamino Fan Club think when they saw me and him coming around from the back of the school? I know what they'd think... I felt my cheeks heat up again at the thought.
I felt Pyro watching me from the trees. I wondered why she was here.Then I relized, the reason she was here was because despite trying to make us all think she could care less, I was the one who fed her and her sisters. If I died then she'd loose her home and her cook. I'd like to think it was because she'd be loosing a friend, but I knew better. I looked up to where she was hiding and smiled, I could see her eyes, the showed relief for a moment and then went back to showing nothing. Prehaps she did think of me as a friend, I'd like that. Then I saw Shuiichi's head move to look where I as looking. I quickly acted like I was watching a bird that was flying. I knew Shuiichi saw Pyro, he just had to have. I sighed mentaly when he turned his head, then tensed when he was looking at me. Shimatta! I saw the crowds. I wanted to get out of Shiichi's sight. I just had to make a run for it! Do you hear my thoughts, Shuiichi? Do you know that I like you? No, love you!? Do you know that just being in your sight makes me feel unworthy of anything?! Do you know that I want to be able to see you, but you not see me...? And do you know that at the same time I would do anything just to have it to where you loved me back...? But I'm not worthy. I'm not even worthy to be near you..... I felt my legs running before I had time to comprehend it. I felt Pyro enter my mind. 'Your such a baka, kitsune.' She thought to me before she broke the link, I was already half way down the street, so I yelled. "I AM NOT A KITSUNE!" I hoped she'd heard me, but I prayed that Shuiichi hadn't.
'Do you think your crazy?' The voice in my head asked me. 'If I hear you, then I am.' I answered back. I heard laughing. 'I already told you what I am. I already told you who Shuiichi is. And yet you don't beilieve me?' The voice asked. I felt a chill run down my spine, that voice was cold. Cold with 14 years of anger and unrelinquished revenge. This was the part of me I hopped never came out. I didn't want anyone to know she was there. Taka-Kai. She had to stay inside. She can't ever be released. She would go on a rampage if she was. I can't ever allow her to get free. I must keep her locked inside. It doesn't matter though, part of her is released. T.K. T.K. is like a copy of Taka-Kai. Taka-Kai is like my soul, my second soul. Because if she was my sould we'd be one and the same, but we're not. We're two sepreate souls sharing the same body. But I am the dominate soul despite Taka-Kai being stronger. I heard her laughing. 'Kurama couldn't hear you.' She said. I sighed. 'I know that.' I told her and walked on. Even now she wouldn't stop being mean to me. She wants me to say her name out loud. That's what will release her. I'm smarter than that. I'll show her. I swear it.
Taka-Kai heard me, I know that. I know alot of things, things I wish I didn't. Normally Taka-Kai's quite nice to me, she and I being one and the same, but lately.... well.... she's been a little odd. It's been a month since she told me about what happened. I've been trying to understand what she meant by 15 years. I'm 14! Not 15! She must have been counting the 9 months before I was born. That would explain it. As much as I understand Taka-Kai, I can't let her out. She'll hurt people going after Mitsubo. I hear someone behind me, I feel tears running down my cheeks from the painful memories that arn't even mine. Who ever is behind me, who ever is chassing me, they better go away. I swore no one would ever see me cry. No one... I feel a hand on my shoulder and now I'm face to face with my love, Shuiichi Minamino. No. He can't see me like this! But his hand on my shoulder makes me blush, I look down. Wow! Look at who pretty the side walk is! It's soooooooo interesting! "Mia, are you alright?" I hear him ask, I nod. I know he doesn't beilieve me. "No your not, Mia. You can trust me, tell me, what's wrong?" He asks again. I want to tell him, but I can't. My voice just can't get out. I feel his eyes burning into the top of my head. Shuiichi, please, leave, but he doesn't, instead he hugs me and rubs my back, telling me it's OK and to let it all out. I feel my face heat up. I'm still crying. Why now? Why now of all times does he hug me? I'm still crying, and he's still hugging me. Pyro's watching, I can sense that, she'll tell Ice and Hakana and I'll be in trouble, yet, Shuiichi's hug is making me feel better. So I relax and let the tears flow. All of Taka-Kai's memories and tears merge with my own, and I just cry. But I feel safe. Like I can cry here, and no one will care. Shuiichi doesn't even care if my unworthy tears stain his shirt, or the dirt gets on him. It's a good feeling, this feeling I have, this feeling of belonging. Now I know how Taka-Kai felt with Youko Kurama, and I hope I can always feel this way with Shuiichi...
