Hey guys sorry about the delay of the update, I left chapter 4 on my dad's computer at his house so I've been working on what I can until I went back to his house. Don't you love having divorced parents and switching houses? Yeah my thoughts exactly, not quite the greatest thing but it works for us so I guess yeah. Whatever enough of that! Here is Botan with the disclaimer you all love to read. Botan:
Botan: Hello everyone, Botan here!
Chelz: Ok Botan u are here to do the disclaimer!
Botan: Bingo! Bingo! You win the prize! Now lets see where was I?
Chelz: the disclaimer
Botan: Oh, of course I knew that! Ok Chelz does not own Yu Yu Hakusho or its characters she does own Kari, her brother, her mother and her dog. (The real dog is really super cute. He's a little guy who tries to do big things. Like last week he tried to jump up Chelz' couch from the backside. He hit his head instead but he tried it again and got it. Ain't it cute when dogs try to do things you think they can't possibly do?)
Chelz: yeah that and boys I love it when a guy tries and falls on his face in the process its just so cute! Well enough about that lets get on with the story!
The Wing Goddess Chapter 5
"We're supposed to meet Koenma right now?" I asked
"Yes that's what he said." Botan replied. We were walking to his office, Kuwabara, Botan, Yusuke, Kurama and I with Hiei trailing in the back, keeping his nose out of anyone else's business like some of the others damn well should.
"You are quiet Kuwabara what's wrong man? Rejected again?" Yusuke asked jokingly to his friendly rival who was really in need of a makeover, fast.
"Just had a dream that's all." He replied
"Well was she hot this time?" Yusuke questioned
"Yusuke!" Botan yelled. I giggled as she scolded him like he was her own son.
"Sadly it wasn't that kinda dream Urameshi." Kuwabara said
"Well then what was it Kuwabara?" Kurama asked
"Just some stuff about Kari." He said calmly
"PERVERT!"I exclaimed my hand ready to slap him.
"Feisty!" Yusuke joked
"Well then go on and explain Kuwabara." Botan urged
"It was weird actually she was like an angel almost, but she was void of all emotions. It seemed like she was well, like she was crying." He said
"Crying?" Kurama asked
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down boy I don't cry." I complained
" Would you like me to make you cry just so I can prove you wrong." Hiei suddenly threatened from behind
"Be my guest and try you won't get that far Hiei, you won't find a tear coming from this girl's eyes." I answered
"Oh stop fighting you two!" Botan scolded
"Well yeah, like I was saying, she was crying so I tried to cheer her up and, you know, stop her tears."
"You bad, bad, boy, Kuwabara." Yusuke said waving his finger at him.
"Yusuke! I have a damn good sense of wrong and right and that is definitely very wrong! Gosh you can't even get one ounce of respect, one dream from another guy and they think you're sleeping with him. You people should remember who you are dealing with here!" I argued as I playfully slapped Yusuke across the face and returned to my spot next to Botan.
"You are way too sensitive." Hiei spoke up from behind
"I thought I told you to shut up! I'll say it in at least 9 different languages if I have to just for you're little brain to comprehend what I'm saying shorty!" I yelled
"Go ahead and make me!" he challenged
"Was that a challenge?" I asked
"Then you accept your death?" he questioned
"No one said I was a pushover now c'mon if you're so tough then I'll let you have the first shot." I said
"I don't think that to be wise Kari." Kurama advised
"And neither do I. You two stop fighting." Botan added
"I ain't backing out. To back out of a challenge is to admit defeat and there is no way that I am doing that." I snapped back at them
"You weren't kidding Urameshi she is a feisty one." Kuwabara said
"C'mon guys can't you just kiss and make up?" Yusuke asked
"NO!" I retorted. We had stopped in a common area and I readied myself. I was sick of his treatment of me. His coldness, he really needed to be taught a lesson.
"Do something boys!" Botan cried as Hiei charged and I blocked. I gave him credit, he was fast and his punches were hard but I could take them. I countered with a punch of my own that almost reached his face but he grabbed my hand and twisted my arm causing a jolt of pain throughout my body. I kept my face strong though; he would not make me cry, not now, not ever.
"Give up girl you know you've lost!" He yelled
"NO! I WON'T GIVE UP!"I exclaimed. He dropped my arm and slapped me across the face with the back of his hand.
"Pathetic, you're not worth my time." He said and walked ahead onto Koenma's office.
"Come back here!" I exclaimed. He ignored my call and continued on.
"I don't care who he is no one hits a girl." Kuwabara claimed
"Why do you call me so? As if I'm weak and defenseless!" I yelled and ran ahead myself to Koenma's office.
"Hey! I'm sorry!" he called after her.
"Let her go, you will see her again Kuwabara." Kurama said
"Yeah, apologize then if it means so much." Yusuke added.
" We should get going then. I'm sure those two can put their problems aside for a brief meeting." Kurama reassured
"Let's hope so." Botan added as she opened the door to Koenma's office. As they walked in they could see Hiei and me, both in opposite corners, both refusing to look at the other, well this was more so for me as I had lost the fight. I let my gaze drift towards him just to see what he was doing.
"What do you want?" He finally yelled
"Nothing at all just for you to leave from my sights." I said as Koenma entered, he looked confused as to what was going on.
"Would you two knock it off already!" Botan scolded
"I guess I can stop for a while, he tends to bore me anyway." I replied
"Say what you want, I'll only make you regret it later." Hiei answered
"I guess that they seem to be willing not to fight for the time being." Yusuke noted
"Or argue." Kurama added
"Are we done now? Or am I gonna have to wait to brief you on your next case?" Koenma spoke up. His voice broke the everlasting noise that filled his office.
"Thank you. Now to begin I will present you our problem. Though it has not surfaced it will very soon. There has been demon activity detected in the demon world." He began
"So what, demons have their rights, let them be." Yusuke replied
"I wasn't finished Yusuke. These demons seem to be organizing a military of some sort. Their objective seems to be to wipe out the human race along with the spirit world." Koenma continued
"That's horrible!" Botan exclaimed
"Man what do they suppose they are supposed to get from all of this?" Kuwabara exclaimed
" That's simple, more land, more destruction, more security." Kurama stated
"And no one to tell them that they can't." Hiei added giving me his death glare.
"Are you threatening me?" I exclaimed
"KARI!" Koenma yelled
"Sorry sir." I answered quickly. But I couldn't help but want to shout something out! I mean he just threatened me outright! I was totally spacing out now the only thing on my mind was what the hell I was going to do about Hiei. In fact from that point on I didn't even understand one thing that Koenma said, just that he was saying something about demons and war and even all of that didn't compute. Soon my eyes felt heavy and I couldn't keep them open anymore, actually I just fell asleep and almost killed Koenma as I fell over.
"I told you she was trouble." Hiei stated as everyone else stared at her sleeping on the floor, especially Koenma, whose arms she had fallen into. It wasn't long until a slight blush could be detected on his face.
"You know I'd love to stand here staring but my eyes are really starting to hurt now." Yusuke joked
"I would but I think they are stuck Urameshi." Kuwabara replied. Kurama laughed
"You think she needed a bit more sleep?" he said
"No I think it's much worse than that." Botan added
"Get up!" Hiei yelled. I stirred hearing the stern voice that sounded very much like that of my own brother. So much in fact that I said,
"Sorry Scott! I'm up! I'm up!" I shot up and stood straight not bothering to rub my eyes as if it truly were my brother waking me up.
"Well if I were your brother I would say its ok, but I'm not so I think I'll just ignore that." Hiei replied with a grunt. Kurama laughed, he knew that Hiei was growing to like her, not to love her but just to like her. Koenma used this time to regain his composure and continue with what he was saying.
"You all need to stop the demons while I attempt negotiations. Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama, Kuwabara, and Botan I'm counting on you." He said
"Wait! I'm not going! Why not!" I complained
"You're too weak." Hiei muttered under his breath.
"I HEARD THAT! YOU SEEM TO BE FORGETTING THE HEIGHT DIFFERENCE HERE!" I screamed back at him.
"No you will be staying here with me. If there is one thing the demons want other than to destroy the human race and the spirit world, its you." Koenma explained
"But!" I argued
"Hey Kari, don't worry about it. We won't be gone long." Yusuke encouraged
"Yeah, it's better for you to say here, and like Yusuke said, we'll be back before you know it." Kuwabara added
"Okay. I'll just go sit down over there then." I replied as I walked away from the group and sat in the chair in the far corner. I couldn't help but feel hurt, but I understood that they meant the best for me. I couldn't get the feeling out of my head and my heart as I blocked out the discussion that was occurring just a few feet away from me. I ignored the concerned looks that came from everyone at different times, the ones that told me that it's for the best, and I'm sorry, or you're too weak and pathetic to come, that last one being from Hiei.
I had finally given up and just walked out of the door, not caring who saw me. I didn't cry, I didn't pout, and I didn't even slam any doors or storm through the halls madly. I just slept, and my deep sleep held me softly not letting me go, but rather letting everything else around me just fade away like the morning dew in the afternoon sun. I let it take me away with its soft angel wings and carry me to a place where I would forever be in peace, a place not even one bit of corruption could reach, like a garden of dreams filled with nothing but my own happiness. There I saw her, with her soft, golden hair that glistened like the sun and her gentle features that were softer than that of feather from an angel's wings. She spoke to me, her voice calm and soothing like my own mother's voice, telling me to run away. I was hers for the taking; I would do what she asked of me, as she called out to me. She called telling me to leave the building and let her song lead me to my happiness. For me to help her, to help her save her world, the one that was falling apart like a hard, brittle rock just waiting to crumble. She begged me, she begged for my help and I obliged. I stood up from my bed and lost in her song began to leave to find her. I could soon feel that I was very far from the building as her song finally stopped. I opened my eyes, there stood a man, tall and handsome yet I could tell he was plagued by darkness, not corrupted by it but just plagued by it like it was holding him against his will.
"You are like me aren't you?" I asked of him. He did not answer.
"I want to help you, why are you so sad? What must I do! I'll do anything!" I cried.
"You have to help us. Help the demons; your race is what has caused my sadness. They have destroyed our world, they have created their own demise and now they must suffer the consequences. Why must we suffer from their mistakes? When it was the humans who caused the problem in the first place." He said gently. I was beginning to feel uneasy about what he was telling me, all because I knew it was true. It was just as true as the fact that the humans would never change either. But I couldn't abandon my race, my family, my people but what could I do.
"I don't know! I don't know!! Why must this all come down to me!" I cried
"I understand this is hard but I'm counting on you to make the right choice, don't disappoint me." He replied and then suddenly vanished into thin air. I looked at my hands seeing blood all over them, and I felt a sudden sharp pain in my neck, but before I could see what it was I quickly collapsed.
