Standard Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho, but I see Hiei every night! *Evil laughter* Hi! This is Reikachan14 and her bud Hiei's4gotndreamr. I didn't write this( Though I did give her many ideas on it) Hiei's4gotndreamr wrote it. She got the idea from the summary of one of my fanfics, but she didn't know it was my fanfic! What a blonde huh? It's weird though, because she's a brunette. Uh,oh she's looking at me weird and she's laughing at me. I think if I get too insulting she'll yell at me and probably try to smack me. I'm glad she's laughing. I have to post this for her because her stinking computer is screwed up. I think she messes up everyone's computer. She did that to her short stories teacher when we stayed after school... (personally I think she's a witch!) I think she's gonna get people to cast evil spells on me now! She's a freaky person huh? Just nod your head in agreement. Okay, good. I hope you enjoy her story. Please R&R, it's her first fanfic so have mercy, no flames... Otherwise we'll get her big bro to beat the crap outta you. Just joking! I have a feeling this story is going to be really good!
Chapter: Caught in a Lie
I lied on my back soaking in the afternoon sun. What a perfect beautiful day it was. I was almost asleep when I heard someone frantically calling my name.
"Kurama! Kurama! Come quickly!" I recognized the voice immediately. My little brother. I jumped up immediately thinking maybe he was in trouble. When he got to me he was out of breath. He stopped and put his hands on his knees, his fox ears drooping from exhaustion.
"What is it Riku?! Has someone hurt you," I asked, my rose whip already out. I was ready to defend my dear brother at all costs.
"It's Kuronoe," He cried. "He's fallen ill. He passed out in the Mansion's dining room. He's running a bad fever and-
I didn't hear the rest. I was already in a sprint heading toward the mansion.
Kuronoe, please be all right.
I raced through the fields where the slaves were gardening and I didn't stop running until I reached the Mansion. As I reached for the doorknob the door swung open and my sister's worried face appeared in the doorway. She simply said, "Downstairs, in the infirmary." She didn't need to say anymore.
I ran down the one thousand and sixty-four steps skipping about eight with every step. We have six infirmary rooms in our mansion. But Miyo, my nurse from when I was still a child saw me coming down the stairs and pointed to the second door. I stepped past her and swung the door open. The sight made me shudder with fear.
My best friend, a fellow thief, Kuronoe, had his eyes closed and he was lying on a bed with his shirt open while the doctor listened to his heart. My friend was breathing amazingly fast.
The doctor saw me and stepped forward. "Don't worry, Kurama. He'll be fine." "What's wrong with him," I asked. "And why is he breathing so fast?"
"He's hyperventilating. It seems he has been poisoned." "By who," I screamed.
"We don't know. But Isei was with him when he fell unconscious. You should go talk to him." I think the doctor could see the anger on my face because he took a couple of steps back. I stepped forward and grabbed his shirt collar.
"Let me tell you something, asshole," I shouted in the doctor's face. "If Kuronoe dies, I'll behead you personally!"
He shuddered in fear. "But if he doesn't," he asked.
"I'll pay you greatly," I replied. The doctor's face seemed to lighten up.
"Oh, don't worry Kurama, sir," He said high and mighty like. "I am one of the best doctors in all of the Makai!"
I grinned and pulled his face a few inches closer to mine. "You better be as good as you say you are," I threatened, "or else." I raised my pointer finger and put it to his neck. Still smiling, I slowly slid my finger from left to right, sending a chill down the doctor's spine.
As I turned to leave I caught a whiff of something in the air. Was that beer? I thought.
* * *
I had made my way back up the stairs, down the long corridor, and into the dinning room doorway. That's where I had stopped. I was staring at Isei with my arms crossed. His face was tear streaked. He was sitting at the meal table; the chair he was in was facing me.
"I swear it wasn't me," he cried far about the fourth time.
"Oh, yeah? Then who did," I shot back. He looked at me, hurt by my remark. Once again his eyes filled with tears. He looked down.
"We were just sitting down, having a few drinks," he began. "Kuronoe had found the beer in the kitchen fridge. He suggested we celebrate for having such a great escape with that golden ring we stole yesterday." I cut him off there.
"You little piece of shit! Kuronoe doesn't drink. And even if he did he would have asked me before taking the beer."
"Kurama." I turned around to see my younger sister, Ami, leaning in the doorway, eyeing my calmly. Her long silver hair was covering her right eye, as usual. "Let him finish," she said.
Ami hated Isei as much as I did, so her command surprised me. I studied he face for a moment and she tossed her hair and winked at me. I knew that motion. She had something up her sleeve. She knew something I didn't and was waiting to see if Isei included the little detail. She had him where she wanted him.
I smiled and winked back. I turned around again to face Isei. "Fine! Continue," I shouted.
He kept looking at the floor as he spoke. "Anyway, we sat down at the table here and starting talking about the escape. Kuronoe was steady gulping down the beer. I didn't want to say anything and after a while he complained of a stomachache. He passed out on the floor and that's when your nurse walked in. She brought him down to the infirmary and here we are."
"Really," Ami asked suspiciously.
Isei cocked an eyebrow. "Yeah, really," he said.
"Your absolutely positive there's nothing you want to add to that," Ami said as she stepped forward. I could see now she had something behind her back and Miyo was right behind her with her arms crossed. My twelve-year-old brother, Riku, was trailing behind her.
"It's the truth," he said.
"You lying bitch," my sister shouted as she revealed what was behind her back. It was one of the beer cans. But now it was totally empty. "The doctors had this analyzed," she said. "It has your battle poison in it!"
