Decisions of Life Chapter 3
DNR: Sorry, long time no update, but I'll make this one longer...I'm getting so busy with my websites...oh well, here I am!!
Later that day...after school...you two are ALREADY holding hands. He slips his free hand in his pocket and pulls out a necklace. A GOLD necklace. Hm. Lucky you. He leads you into the park, where he sits you on a bench. He sits closely next to you.
" , I'm beginning to think of things...I..." His voice seemed to drift off.
"What?"
He took a deep breath. "...I'm not going to last as long as you may want, so..." He gets behind you and puts the necklace around your neck. "...I want you to have this. To remember me by. My job is to rid this world, the Ningenkai, of demons who hate us and want to kill us. I'm afraid there will be a time where one demon is stronger and...."
"Don't say that!!!" You feel tears forming in your eyes when you see them forming in his. You pull him back on the bench. "Don't you ever think like that...I-I love you..."
He buries his face into your shoulder, not noticing some people calling his name.
"KURAMA YOU SAP!!!" that tall orange-haired boy, who yet again shows up, says loudly. "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOUR CRYING IN THIS GIRL'S STUPID SHOULDER!!!" He laughed as if it was funny, but you obviously didn't think it was.
"Shut up, baka." The boy whom of they called Hiei said, tripping him and putting a foot on the tall boy's back. He looked at Kurama. "Kurama, people are staring. No more tears."
Kurama sat up, his cheeks tear stained. His wiped his eyes off with his hand, gently moving it back and forth over them. It didn't help, as the tall baka was still laughing (although his was tripped), because he had another wave of tears stream down his face. He buried his face back in the same spot in your shoulder. The tall boy stopped. "Kurama? You okay?"
Some other boy came into the picture. He had raven black hair and it was gelled back neatly. He hovered over Kurama. "Yo, Kurama, it's Yusuke. Maybe we should take you home, you look bad, man." He rubbed Kurama's back gently, to much of your surprise. Kurama's crying didn't stop, but it slowed. He turned around after wiping his face again.
"No thanks, Yusuke. I am fine."
"Ya sure?"
"Y-Yeah..." He stumbled to get up and he ran out of the park.
All the boys averted their gazes at you. You don't look away. "W-What?"
"Who the hell are YOU?" the tall boy asks, getting up and brushing himself off.
"N-No one..."
"If Kurama would cry in YOUR shoulder, you must be SOMEONE." Yusuke said. Hiei looked at you with big bug eyes.
"She...she...Kurama...he...hooooolllllly shooting ducks," Hiei said, fading off once in a while. (A/N: XD I'm trying to keep this PG...)
Yusuke stared at Hiei. "What?"
"She's the reincarnation of Kaio, the fierce Raven demon queen. I recognize the face and scent."
"I-I'm what???" you stutter out, looking around.
"Kurama must have noticed it too. Youko...he had his grimy kitsune paws all over her...then they BOTH died..."
"...on the same day," you finished, sounding possessed. Hiei took a step back. "Hello, Hiei, forbidden child." You said it evilly, an evil grin creeping up your evil lips up your evil face. (A/N: EVILLLLLLLL!!!!)
"Kaio. Do not possess the girl. She is an innocent teenage human."
"The younger the better. Besides, she's starting to get it on with Shuichi. Not too innocent to ME."
"Kaio, I..." Hiei paused. "Youko loved you. Just accept that your reincarnation took HIS reincarnation—" You/Kaio cut him off.
"I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL HE IS KING OF MY KINGDOM. YOUKO WILL BE MINE."
"KAIO!!!! RELEASE THE GIRL!!!!" Hiei screamed.
"She is passage to Youko. She will be his, Shuichi's. I will be Youko's. End of story." Kaio disappears and you fall on the ground, unconscious. Hiei runs up to you.
"Kurama...what have you gotten yourself into..." Hiei sighed. Yusuke and the tall one were shivering deeply.
"Wh-Who was that!?!? Her rei was so powerful!!!" Yusuke screamed.
There was much silence as Hiei laid you on the bench. Then it was Kurama's turn to scream. He had returned with new clothes on.
" - ..." He stuttered. (the beginning letter of your name goes in front of the dash) "H-Hiei what just happened?"
Hiei stood up. "You know what happened. Kaio took her over. She still wants Youko." Kurama looked down.
"I feared as much..." he murmured. "I never thought she could take over like that..."
"IT WAS HUUUGE!!!!" the tall one yelled. "HER ENERGY!!"
"Yes, Kuwabara. She is lethal, scared millions of demons to their deaths. Literally."
"And that is why you pretended to love her, you feared she would destroy you...." Hiei said quietly. "And she fell for it."
"But the strange thing is, both Youko and Kaio's reincarnations fell in love with on another, correct?" Yusuke inquired. Kurama nodded.
"Very strange."
"Hm. So what now?" Kuwabara asked. They all shrugged.
Then your eyes shot open.
"HOW DARE YOU, YOUKO KURAMA." Kaio screamed, taking you over...yet again... "YOU DECIEVE ME FOR A SIMPLE FEAR? YOU ARE NOT WORTH ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!" The tone she had scared Yusuke and Kuwabara, and Hiei a little. Kurama just looked at her. Smiling.
"So...demons DO get wrinkles." Kurama said, his hair turning from red to silver; his eyes turning from green to gold.
"Take that back."
"Hm." He grunts with a smile.
"You will lose everything."
"Oh?"
"Including her."
"Shuichi loves her, not me."
"You best care about her as well or else. Shuichi is able to defeat you now, you know."
"And you are keeping track?"
She laughed. "Yes." She then jumped in the air, not in YTOUR body anymore, but in hers. The same way Youko turned if you're confused. Her nails grew longer and she held them straight at Youko, planning to land on him with the dangerously sharp nails. "DIE!!!!" Youko smirked and he turned back into Shuichi.
Screams filled the park.
It was quiet after a shocking second.
Kurama's chest was blood stained; it was pouring all over the sidewalk. People gathered to see, and even one took the consideration to call the hospital. No one said a word.
The ambulance lights and sirens blared.
"STAND CLEAR STAND CLEAR!!!"
People stood back and watched the horror.
Hiei was dead silent. He was stuck in the moment, playing back the horrid scene Youko had caused. He fell to his knees, black tear gems clinking on the sidewalk. One rolled over to Kurama's bloodstain in the sidewalk.
"KURAMA, NO!!!!!!"
"Hiei, Hiei, he'll be fine!!!" Yusuke told Hiei, wishing he would believe it himself. "He'll be...oh Hiei..." Yusuke crawled on the ground to support himself and his scared friend. "We can only hope..."
DNR: BUM BUUM BUUUUUUUUUUUUM!!!
Kurama: YOU EVIL LITTLE--!!!
Hiei: ......
