Past Lives
Chapter four
It was morning. The sun was washing over everything that wasn't being shaded by the trees and buildings. Things were alive and for the most part awake. Just like Mitsuko she had woken up a few minutes ago feeling the warmth on her from the curtains in a bedroom. She looked around unaware of her newest surroundings. It seemed warm, filled with shades of red and various small trees. She knew she wasn't home. It was much too nice here for it to be that dingy old apartment. She sat up and looked around some more, to find Kurama standing there looking at her.
She looked at him and quietly asked "Shuuichi- No, Kurama. Is this you room?" He nodded in reply.
"You past out downstairs in the bathroom. Remember?'
"I-I uh think so. I mean. All I remember was your voice drifting in and out. The last thing I grasped was the Shuuichi Kurama thing. And. I don't even understand that."
He nodded then looked away. "Well. I bandaged up your wound and then a friend of mine from Rekai named Botan came by. She changed your clothes for me and told me that I had to take you to Koenma first thing in the morning, or as soon as you were awake. Rekai is the spirit world, a Botan is a ferry girl, and Koenma is King Enma's son. Do you understand?"
"Koenma prince of spirit world, Botan ferry girl, Rekai spirit world. You? What are you? How can you be Shuuichi and Kurama?" she asked a bit puzzled. Although grasping the other important facts.
"I just like my friends, Yusuke Urameshi, Kazuma Kuwabara, and Jaganashi Hiei. We're all part of the Rekai Tantei. We're the spirit detectives for Ningenkai. I am a hanyou, half demon, half human. I was an infamous thief in Makai, the demon realm, but I was attacked and before I was killed my spirit fled here to Ningenkai. Now I live here in this body. Do you understand that?" She was looking at him and nodding her head slowly before falling bad down and thinking to herself ticking off the facts she had just learned on her fingers.
"Rekai, Makai, Ningenkai, Rekai Tantei, Urameshi, Kuwabara, Hiei, Hanyou, Kurama, demon, spirit detectives. Understand. Yes Sir!" she gave a slight grin then sighed.
" I'm sorry. I know it's quite a bit of information, but I had to brief you before your encounter with Koenma. Now are you ready to get going. You can wear these clothes if you want, Botan left them for you." He handed her a pair of black silky straight-legged paints and a black silky shirt. Both trimmed in a crimson red color with the Chinese style clasps. He set them on the bed than walked out of the room "I'll be waiting downstairs. We can eat something when we get back if you don't mind." She nodded and he closed the door.
'Damn, these clothes are nice. Hehe. I'm keeping these. Not that that would be stealing. I'll give 'em back if I have to. Ahhh who am I kidding of course I'll have to!' She changed quickly trying to keep from hitting the bandaged areas on her stomach then looked herself over. "Nice." After that she walked downstairs to be told good morning and guided out the door. But only oh too quickly stopped by a bright and cheery. BIRD?!
"What the hell? You can fly?!?! How dare you that's what I'm supposed to be doing." She looked around the broom the lady was sitting on thinking it may have been magic but wasn't ever convinced of it. The woman could fly. 'There is still hope.' She thought while looking at the blue haired girl.
"Well aren't we feeling wonderful, you look absolutely adorable in that outfit Miss. Aso! I'm Botan, I'm the ferry girl that I'm sure Kurama told you about." She said in an almost too cheery tone.
Mitsuko bowed respectfully. "I presume that you're here to take us to see Koenma. Right?" Botan nodded and held out her hand to the girl while and guided her onto the broom informing her to hold on tight. Kurama grabbed onto the broom and off they were to Rekai.
-----AT REKAI, KOENMA'S OFFICE----
"Why hello there Botan, I see that you've brought Mitsuko as I requested." He cleared his throat. "Miss. Aso I am right here." He had noticed her peering around the room looking for him and she had just realized he was no taller than a toddler.
" Aw, how cute a talking baby." She ran up to Koenma only to be stopped by his evil glare that he threw at her.
"I am not a baby. I am, by far, much older than you!" He said standing up and slamming his hands onto his desk. "Now then! Down to business. Mitsuko, you are being trailed, If you hadn't noticed." He turned on the huge T.V screen to see her apartment had been torn apart and destroyed to the point of no return. All she could do was sit there in awe. "Your apartment was the last safe place for you, now the only safe place is wherever you are protected. Now that place is at Kurama's. And lucky for you his mom isn't going to be home for a while. Now, we do not know why they are after you, for all we know you could have powers to bring on the end of the world, or vice versa. You see what I'm trying to get at I would hope. The Rekai Tantei's job is to figure out why they want you, and to protect you, but you can't rely on them. You must train to learn how to use your spirit ki. I can sense it locked inside of you, you must learn how to use it and what you can do with it. I'm sure the boys will be able to help you with that. Now, do you understand what I am saying?"
"Um, yes sir. I will train harder, and learn more about this spirit energy. Because I'm sure that you know, I already train with a katana, and in the martial arts. But anyway, can I get going now, I'm starving." Her stomach growled and she looked at Koenma who had fallen out of his chair, for an unknown reason to her.
"Yes, yes, you may go. Botan escort the two, to Kurama's home, and then inform the others of the mission. Kurama, take her to meet Yusuke and the gang over the course of the weekend. Good Bye." Kurama and Mitsuko nodded following Botan out of the room.
The whole way home Mitsuko was quiet. She didn't understand half of it. But, she understood what she must do. She was just replaying the events in her head.
