The Demon Enchantresses
Chapter Four
They giggled. They were the best of friends, and they always joked around. They talked about everything. They were so inseperable that their parents grew to know each other and they moved into a giant house together, just for the two of them. They did everything together. They trained with each other every day. That was one of the best parts of their friendship. Another was openness. Since they talked about everything, they knew each other inside and out. When they talked, they talked about what normal girls would: guys, books, movies, anything. But the subject they always found themselves talking about was boys. They knew right away when the other got a boyfriend, or figured out they have an admirer. They've both had their share with boys, but they never found one that was suitable enough for them. At home, they could marry at whatever age they wished, as long as everyone was happy about it. One almost married about six times, the other almost twenty. They knew each other for as long as they could remember. But one day when they were called in for a mission, only one could go. So, one went, and the other stayed behind. When the one came back, the other was gone on a different mission, and they didn't see each other again...
"Hannah!" Yoshiko cried out as Hiei walked through the door with the girl that he knew he was in love with.
"Yoshiko! What're you doing here?" Hanna replied, just as surprised to see her friend in the same house.
"I met Yusuke in the park..." her voice trailed off as she grabbed Yusuke's hand and blushed slightly.
"Oh, Yoshiko! You finally settled down with one, didn't ya?" Hanna winked.
"Shush up, Hanna!" But she blushed as she replied. "And besides, it looks like you've settled down with one, finally, too," Yoshiko winked back.
Hannah giggled. "Yeah. Strange thing, we met in the park, too." Both girl's eyes were alive and sparkling.
"I heard you had left on a mission when I got back home..." Yoshiko said, trailing off, her eyes still somewhat sparkling, but teary now.
"Yeah, I was going to call you, but I couldn't get through. You were too far away, and I couldn't use HQ's phone," Hannah replied.
"Oh. Well, I was quite far away from home," Yoshiko said thoughtfully.
"I know. You were too far. They told me that if I take that one mission they had me take while you were gone, then I'd be back by the time you got home, or shortly after. But as you can see, that didn't happen. They kept having my team switch missions. I wonder now if they were maybe jealous of our friendship?"
"I don't know. Now that I think about it, HQ never did agree to us doing missions together. I think we were almost too good for them, and they started to panic, so they sent us on missions. After I got on my ship, there was plenty of room to fit at least another five people comfortably."
Hiei cleared his throat, and Hannah looked at him, wiping an unshed tear from her eye. Hiei and Yusuke were too shocked at the fact that their loves knew each other. So, Kuwabara spoke next.
"Haha! I knew it! Jee, with the luck that these two have had, I'll get my own really soon!" Kuwabara had a giant grin on his face, and a sly sparkle in his eyes.
"Spare us," Hiei managed to say.
"Well, let's not be rude now, Kuwabara! Hiei has found the best gift he could on this special day!" Kurama said. Kuwabara's smile disappeared, and he stalked off to his room with a "Tch..."
Yusuke was still too schocked to talk, and Hiei just couldn't believe it. So, Kurama took the turn to speak. "So you two ladies know each other?"
"Yep!" Hannah and Yoshiko said at the same time, then giggled.
Finally, after a few moments of silence, Kurama retreating to his room, the two other boys still dazed, but starting to recover, the two girls walking slowly towards the other. When they met, they grabbed each other in a long- needed and never-forgotten embrace. Silent tears rolled down their cheeks, and at that precise moment, the two males that hadn't had a clue how to react walked toward the girls and placed a hand on their shoulders, Yusuke's on Yoshiko, and Hiei's on Hannah.
When they let go of each other, they looked so happy, and Hiei and Yusuke looked at each other and knew that they would definately keep these two nearby. Yoshiko was wiping her eyes from her tears and sniffling. Hannah was asking for a kleenex. Hiei left to get one, and Yusuke called after him.
"You might want to bring a whole box or two, Hiei!" he said jokingly.
Yoshiko turned around and fixed him with a playful glare. "You goofball! We aren't that bad! Are we, Hannah?" she added as she turned around.
"No. At least, I don't think so."
Hiei came back a moment later with a whole box of kleenex. Yoshiko gave Yusuke a playful punch on the arm, and they all laughed. Hannah used a kleenex, dropped it into a garbage can nearby, then used another one. After a few more minutes of just chit-chat, they departed, Hannah going with Hiei, Yoshiko with Yusuke. There were a lot of questions to be answered, but all four figured they could be answered the next day. Right now, they all just wanted to have some time alone with their loves...
