The Demon Enchantresses
Chapter Eleven
"Damn!" Kohana said softly as Kurama got up to answer the door. "Kurama, just please, don't answer it." But it was too late.
"Kurama, didn't you hear me calling you? What took you so long?" Yusuke said, Yoshiko behind him. Yusuke looked at Kurama. "And why the hell is your shirt off? You're not doing any training without me, are you?" he yelled.
Kuwabara came in and said, "What kind of training is who doing? What're you talking about, Urameshi?"
"Kurama! He's got his shirt off in his room. And, well, you know..."
Hiei and Hannah came out of their room to see what the commotion was all about. Hiei asked, "Is that a girl on Kurama's bed?"
Kurama blushed and Hannah and Yoshiko fought to get inside the room first. Kurama tried to close the door on his friends, but failed.
"Kohana!" Hannah exclaimed, shocked. "Damnit, I thought I left you at home for good!"
"Double damn...Hannah..." Kohana said.
"Oh, no. Here we go again," Yoshiko said with a sigh.
"What the hell happened here, Kurama?" Hiei asked.
"Yeah, Kohana. Why the hell are you here? Why the hell are you in Kurama's room? And why the hell am I talking to you? I never wanted to talk to you again!" Hannah yelled.
"Please ignore the two sisters fighting on the other side of the room," Yoshiko said. "I think they are just showing their sisterly love for each other, but I'm not sure anymore."
"Hell no!" Kohana and Hannah said at the same time.
"Why is she in bandages? Is Kurama that bad in bed or something?" Kuwabara asked stupidly.
Kurama turned very red. "N-no. When I found her, she was injured, so I bandaged her."
"That's another thing I want to know! What were you doing that you could get hurt, weakling?" Hannah asked Kohana.
"Yes, indeed! Hannah and Kohana are definitely showing their sisterly love for each other!" Yoshiko said, somewhat sounding like a newscaster.
"I'm eighteen now! I can do as I want and take care of myself!" Kohana explained.
"And this explains why you're in bandages how?" Hannah asked sarcastically.
Turning red, Kohana said, "I got attacked by a strong demon, okay?!"
Yoshiko looked around a moment, then pulled out a demon's head from behind her back. "You mean this thing?"
"How the hell'd you get that?!" Kohana yelled.
"Why'd you bring that in my nice, clean house? I just cleaned it this morning!" Kurama wailed.
"Sorry! I just was thinking about putting it up on our wall," Yoshiko said. She had a cat-like look on her face.
"No way! It doesn't go with the wall paint!" Kurama said.
"I agree," Hiei said.
"Yep, definitely," Yusuke said. "You need a different color demon head."
Kohana asked, "Why are we putting a demon head in the house in the first place?"
Kuwabara replied, "I don't know. Maybe because they're freaks?"
"Who are you calling a freak, freak! I was just joking, anyway!" Yoshiko replied, still cat-like.
"Then why did you bring that demon head in the house in the first place? You people have no brains what-so-ever," Kohana said with a sniff.
"At least we're not weaklings," Hannah said in a fake cough.
"Oh yeah, shorty? At least I'm smart...shorty!" Kohana defended herself.
"Hm. She shouldn't have insulted with the short part," Hiei said.
Hannah exploded. "Shut the hell up!" she yelled, facing turning red out of anger.
"Why should I shorty? Shorty? Shorty! Shorty!" Kohana yelled back.
"I. AM. NOT. SHORT! I'm older than you, so you should listen to me!"
"Yeah, listen to someone with a brain the size of a peanut. Yeah, that sounds right," Kohana said sarcastically.
"After an intense round of verbal attacks, there seems to be a brief lull in the fighting," Yoshiko said. "Let's watch and see how this exciting battle ends!"
"Jee, didn't know she sounded so much like Botan," Yusuke said.
*SMACK!* Yusuke was hit in the back of the head with Yoshiko's fist.
"Ow! What was that for?!" Yusuke yelled.
"I don't know," Yoshiko replied, shrugging. "I just felt like it."
"Guys, aren't we getting off the subject? Like, why Kurama's shirt is off and why he's hiding a girl in room," Hiei said. He was getting revenge for all the times Kurama had teased him about Yukina. It felt good.
Kusha stepped between the two fighting girls. "Hannah, Kohana, can we please try to keep the peace here?"
"Hmph! She started it!" they said at the same time. Hannah walked over to stand next to Hiei, as Kurama went to sit by Kohana.
"Getting back on the subject," Yusuke said, "Kurama, why are you two in his room, and why is your shirt off, Kurama?"
Kurama replied, "We just have to keep coming back to that, don't we?"
"Yes," Hiei replied. "Because it's a good question. Now what were you two doing in here?"
"Sure, you ask me what I'm doing in my room, when all of you don't want me to ask what you guys are doing in your rooms every single night," Kurama said angrily.
"He does have a good point, Hiei," Hannah said. "I mean, he did get traumatized by Yusuke and Yoshiko-"
"What?!" Yoshiko and Yusuke said simultaneously.
"You two should really lock the door at night," Kuwabara said.
"What the devil are you talking about?" Yoshiko asked as Yusuke said, "Oh...he walked in on us, didn't he?"
Kurama turned red. "Um, yes, I did."
"Uh, I'm confused here," Yoshiko said. When did they walk in on us? I don't get it..."
"A couple weeks ago, you know, after the data confession thing-" Hiei started.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! What do you mean data confession thing? You girls didn't tell them, did you?" Kohana said, panicked.
Both Yoshiko and Hannah turned red and hung their heads. "Sorta," they said.
"I only told Yusuke!" Yoshiko said.
"I told the guys because they overheard me muttering to myself after Yoshiko was too weak to defend herself against Kentaro!" Hannah said.
"What do you mean too weak to defend myself? I was doing just fine until he rammed me against the wall!" Yoshiko yelled at Hannah.
Kohana muttered, "I'm surrounded by idiots. Except for Kurama, of course."
And Kurama muttered back, "Thank you."
"Why you-!" Yoshiko and Hannah started charging toward Kohana, and pushed her into the window. But as they fell in front of the window, the full moon's rays hit them, and they transformed.
Hannah transformed into a phoenix-like creature. She had phoenix wings, long red hair, and her feet had turned into a bird's talons. She was dressed in the same clothing.
Yoshiko had transformed into an elf-like creature. She had pointy ears, long, flowing blonde hair, and red eyes. She was dressed in a purple shirt that appeared to be torn in several places, some big, some small, a short skirt, thigh-high black hose, and aqua-colored boots that ended about half way up the thigh.
Kohana had transformed into a fox-like creature. She had long, silver hair, white fox ears and tail, golden eyes—but not unlike Yoko's—and dressed in a white garment similar to Yoko's, but it allowed more for her feminine modesty, but not much.
Kusha stumbled while trying to stop the girls from fighting each other. She fell into the full moon's rays as well, and transformed. She was a creature like Juri from the dark tournament. She had an aqua tail, aqua fish ears, her hair being the same black color, her eyes also the deep blue as before. She was dressed in a white dress with a shawl that had tassels on it.
Kusha looked at herself after she had gotten up, and tears started to form in her eyes. "No...I didn't mean to transform in front of everyone!" she cried.
"What the hell just happened?" all the guys asked a similar question.
"Actually, I think it's an improvement. She looks a hell of a lot more sexy this way," Hiei said, talking about Hannah.
"I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or an insult," Hannah said.
"Can't blame ya there, Hiei," Yusuke said, looking Yoshiko over.
Yoshiko walked up to Yusuke and smacked him. "Really, you guys must learn to behave yourselves."
"Yep. Just like Botan," Yusuke said, smirking.
"Hold up, how do you transform? What happened?" Kuwabara asked, confused.
"Yes, I must admit some curiosity myself," Kurama said, staring at the fox demon before him.
"Hey, Kurama! You can turn into Yoko and make fox pups now!" Yusuke said jokingly.
Kurama turned really red. Another smack to the head from Yoshiko and Yusuke was on the floor.
Kusha looked around. "Uh...you guys transformed, too?"
Kohana said, "Yes, but I can't figure out why you transformed. Because you're not one of us, unless..." She moved to stand behind Kusha, and brushed part of her dress aside, exposing her left shoulder. "I knew it!"
"What is it?" Hannah asked.
"She's the fourth," Kohana replied.
Yoshiko looked at Kusha and Kohana. "She's got a tattoo, too?"
"Yep," Kohana answered.
Yusuke got up off the floor and said, "Any of you sexy ladies wanna tell me what's going on here?"
Another smack to the head, and Yoshiko explained, "Well, the truth is, we're not from this planet."
"Big surprise," Kurama said without any enthusiasm.
"We're from Rithanka," Yoshiko continued, ignoring Kurama's remark.
"Where?" Kuwabara asked, clueless.
"Wait, I've never heard of this Rithanka place," Kusha said.
"That's because you were the one sent to Earth as a baby," Kohana explained.
"Some dumb-ass experiment," Hannah added.
"They never should have separated us," Kohana agreed indignant.
"Anyway, Rithanka is in a different galaxy," Yoshiko explained to Kuwabara.
"Oh, that explains a lot. I mean, I knew we had only nine planets in our system, and I didn't think any of them were named Rithanka," Kuwabara said.
"You are such an idiot," Hiei said.
"If I may continue," Yoshiko said, starting to get angry. "We are from Rithanka, and our planet has a system that only certain people can be in. A certain number of selected girls, when they are just babies, are brought to the leader, and he performs a small ceremony. This ceremony transforms the girls into demons, I guess is the best way to say it."
"But they're not really demons, though," Hannah said. "They have demon traits, I guess is the best way to put it."
"Yes," Yoshiko agreed. "But only a few girls are able to survive the ceremony."
"Yeah, I still have nightmares about it. And most nights I don't even dream," Kohana said.
"Continuing," Yoshiko said, getting annoyed, "The girls that do survive are brought under hard training."
"Hard is not the word," Hannah said.
"More like torture," Kohana added.
"All right, whatever," Yoshiko said, really annoyed. "If I may continue without further interruptions... Well, after the training, we are part of an elite alliance that basically kills demons and what-not."
"Yeah, but only we can absorb the data," Hannah added.
"Hannah," Yoshiko said, warningly. "We master in only one art form. Hannah's is swordsmanship, obviously. Kohana's is control of any plant. And as for myself, I am a spell caster, though I have also mastered bow and arrow. Spell casters are able to master a weapon as well, for when they have used their magic or need to combat in other ways."
"That still doesn't explain about Kusha," Kuwabara said stubbornly.
"Allow me to explain this one," Kohana said, smoothly. "The leader of our planet thought it would be interesting to see what would happen if one of the girls that survived the ceremony was sent to Earth. If perhaps she would use her talents to fight demons there, and in this way we could combat the demon threat without our planet being discovered by the earthlings. But, needless to say, Kusha did not combat demons. Not that I blame her. So the project was abandoned."
"That's a load of fancy stuff about how the asshole in charge wanted to screw up life and see what would happen," Hannah said.
"Hannah!" Yoshiko yelled. "Show some respect! Anyway, why Kusha wasn't successful was because she was sent here when she was only a baby. She hadn't endured any training. That's also why were picked on you guys yesterday. We wanted to test her skills. We had a feeling that she was, but we didn't want to scare her."
"Well, that certainly clears up a few things," Yusuke said, trying to wrap things up so he could fulfill his manly desire.
Hiei, catching on to Yusuke's plan, said, "Yes, maybe we should get out of Kurama's room. We've bothered him enough already."
"Yeah, we probably shouldn't have barged in here in the first place," Kuwabara said.
Each girl left with her man, and each were quickly behind locked doors and sharing the intimacy released in bed. Kurama got up and closed and locked the door. He turned around to face Kohana and asked, "Would you mind if I turn into my demon form?"
"I was hoping you would say that," she said flirtatiously, flicking her tail. "I've heard a lot about you, Yoko."
Kurama instantly turned into Yoko. "Well then, we'll just have to see if what you've heard is true then, won't we?" he said, flicking his tail.
As they closed the gap between them, their tails clung together and they shared the sweet bliss of intimacy as the others in the house...
*The next morning...*
Yoko slowly awoke, wondering why he was in control of the body today. Normally, Shuichi was always in control of the body they shared. He looked down and saw her head on his chest, and fragments of the night came back to him. "Kohana," he whispered into her hair.
She moaned and stirred, but didn't wake up. Slowly, a ray of sun got through the open window and shone on her back. Yoko was momentarily surprised that she turned back into a human. "It does make sense," he reflected.
As he prepared to let Shuichi control the body once more, he made very sure that Shuichi knew this: "Shuichi you can have the body for the rest of your life. Just let me have it on the night of a full moon."
"Agreed," Shuichi said and took the body back. He fell asleep holding Kohana in his arms...
