THE EVE OF ICE
Chapter 1
Eve was walking out of her house, being demon, she was going to the makai realm. To visit her dead family, she was all alone.
"What the-!!!" she screamed as a figure knocked her unconscious.
They flew together for a while, until stopping at what seemed like a hotel room. The figure put Eve on their spare bed and walked away.
"Yeah I found her, she looks just human though," the figure said, he was short and had black hair with a white outburst in the front and a navy blue surrounding the black.
"Well, I look human too, and so do you Hiei," A tall figure with long red hair said.
"I'd say something, but I am just human," A boy said, he had black hair and was fairly tall.
"Yusuke, come on lets check on her, Hiei might've done some damage by grabbing her," A really tall boy with orange hair said to his friend with a small grin.
"Sure Kuwabara," they both walked into Eve's room.
"Ugh," Eve sighed, "I feel like crap...wait what happened."
"Hiei kidnapped you," Yusuke said, trying not to alarm her.
"What on earth?..Who are you?!" Eve sat up, apparently really startled.
"I'm Yusuke," the boy with black hair pointed to himself, "And he's Kuwabara," he said pointing at the tall boy with orange hair.
"Hiei, Kurama, she's up!" Yusuke called.
Kurama and Hiei came through the door.
"Hi, I'm Kurama, I hope Hiei didn't hurt you," the boy with red hair said with a friendly smile, Eve couldn't help but blush a bit.
"Hn.." was all Hiei said.
"Do you know what kind of demon you are?" Yusuke asked.
"Well, of course," Eve said, trying not to sound rude, "I'm a full ice demon-"
"You're only half ice demon," Hiei interrupted her, "I can sense what you are-"
"Then what am I?"
"I don't know you're blocking that out, so I can't sense what you are."
"I can't smell her," Kurama said inhaling two sharp sniffs of the air.
"Tell us what you are," Yusuke said gently.
"I can't," was all Eve said before she got out of the bed and realized she had no shirt or pants, she was only wearing a bra and underwear.
"Where are my clothes!?" Eve shouted grabbing the blankets and covering her body.
"They..uh...sorta froze," Kurama said blushing 30 shades of red.
"FROZE?!"
"Yeah, and uh.." Kurama said still blushing.
"You were soaked, we had to take it off, alright!" Hiei said and walked out.
"Geez, at least, he's wearing something, not just a bra and underwear," Eve said angrily.
Yusuke and Kuwabara started laughing while Kurama bit his thumb.
"What?" Eve demanded.
"Hiei...wearing...a bra and...underwear," Yusuke said through laughter.
Eve laughed a bit too, hearing what she had really said.
SLAM!!! Hiei's door was shut, he must've been really angry, Eve thought.
"So why am I here anyway?"
"Koenma wants you to join our team," Yusuke said.
"Team? Koenma?" Eve questioned.
"Koenma, the leader of the spirit world, wants you to join team Urameshi."
"Ok..." Eve said slowly, "And can I have some clothes?"
All three boys blushed a deep red, "Sure, let me get you some," Yusuke said and left the room, Kurama and Kuwabara following him.
"Why do you think she was here in the makai realm anyway?" Kurama asked Yusuke.
"Dunno, we'll have to ask her once she's done," Yusuke grabbed a white t- shirt and jeans.
"Here," he said handing them to Eve.
"Thanks," she said, putting them on before he even left the room.
"Wait!" Eve called before Yusuke closed the door, "I'm done."
"So fast?"
"Yeah," Eve said shrugging.
Kurama and Kuwabara were playing cards, go-fish to be exact, and Kuwabara was losing.
"How do you do it Kurama?"
Kurama just smiled, then he saw Eve, "Eve!" he said, "Why were you in the makai realm anyway?"
"Just...just visiting," she said sadly.
"Visiting," Kuwabara said, "Visiting who? A friend? A boy friend?"
Eve laughed, "No silly, visiting-" she paused, it sounded weird to say visiting my dead family, she sighed, "Visiting my dead family," she said in a final tone. She did not want to talk about it, especially with people she just met.
"I'm sorry," Yusuke and Kurama said at the same time. They spun around and pointed at each other with a surprised look on their faces.
"They do that, a lot," Kuwabara said laughing.
"Don't be," Eve said in a cold tone that cut off all the happiness.
"Don't be what?" Kurama asked innocently.
"I don't take pity, especially from kidnappers!" Eve stormed out of the room.
"Eve! Wait!!" Kurama yelled after her. He shot a look at the group, "Get Hiei," he said and ran off to find Eve.
They ran to Hiei's door and turned to knob, expecting it to be locked, instead it turned open to reveal an empty room. The curtains fluttered a bit in the wind. Yusuke and Kuwabara ran out of Hiei's room to find Kurama.
"Kurama!" Yusuke said when he saw him, he froze in his tracks when he saw Eve and Hiei battling, Hiei beating her up pretty badly.
"What's going on!!"
"Hiei is training her," Kurama said, "and I'm next."
"This is insane, she just woke up, he can't train her!!"
This conversation was all a blur to Eve, right now she was concentrating on Hiei.
"Is that all you got Eve?" Hiei yelled, "You're pretty weak then."
"Hiei..." Eve said, she hadn't even drew her katana.
Hiei took the tip of his katana in his hand, and the sharper side of the blade facing down. He forced it into Eve's stomach, sending her backwards into a tree.
"Nice fight," Eve said standing up extending her hand.
"Hn," was all Hiei said then walked away, "I'm going to take a bath."
"Hey, Kurama? Still wanna fight?" Eve said pushing it.
"No, you should get some rest, how about we do this tomorrow?"
"Please can we do this now?"
"Okay, I guess.." Kurama said uneasily, 'she's a weak fighter, what was Koenma thinking?'
"Hey, I'm going inside," Yusuke said.
"Me too," Kuwabara said following Yusuke.
Once they were gone, Eve changed her tone of voice into something really serious, "Fists or katana?"
"Whatever is more easy for you, I'll be using my whip," he said transforming his rose into a spiky green whip.
Eve took her katana and sheath out, and tossed them to the ground.
"Let's start this thing!" Eve yelled.
Crack, Kurama's whip hit Eve, a trickle of blood fell from her arm, she looked at it for a moment and disappeared. She reappeared behind Kurama, standing on one hand she thrust her feet forward into Kurama's back. Kurama fell forward, not expecting it. As he was getting up Eve did two flips, landing about a metre in front of Kurama. They watched each other for a split second, and then Kurama lashed out with his whip and cut the knee in her jeans just as she ran up and did a flip to kick him in the chest pushing herself forward to knock him back harder. Kurama got back up and faced her, lashing out with the whip again, crack! She had shoved the base of her palm upward into his nose and as a result breaking it. She did another flip so she was on her hands she pushed off from the ground and in mid-air, free-flying a bit, she kicked Kurama in the head causing him to bleed and fall back, hitting his head again on the base of a tree.
"Kurama!! Sorry!" Eve said running up to him, "I didn't mean to kick that hard!"
Eve picked up his head and looked directly into his eyes, "I can heal you if you let me, just relax and don't say a word."
Eve positioned herself over Kurama, one knee one either side of him. She placed both hands on his nose and healed. Kurama's nose healed like magic but Eve's nose was broken as soon as his was healed. A trickle of blood rolled down the side of her mouth and fell onto Kurama's shirt. Eve then placed both hands on his forehead and the bruise that was bleeding healed, but with the same side effects; it reappeared on Eve's forehead.
"How come all of this is going onto you?"
"Because I'm not full ice demon," Eve said looking away.
"You shouldn't heal me then," Kurama said with concern in his voice.
"I need to but Kurama, I don't know if I should heal your chest and back," Eve said, a blush creeping up her cheeks.
"Um...well if you don't want the pain, it's fine," Kurama said propping himself up on his elbows, little did he realize that his stomach and hers would be touching if he did that.
"Oh...well...you know I can, it's just...nothing can be in my way of healing, meaning cloth," Eve blushed even more, picking up his mistake of his stomach touching hers. She pushed him back down, "Shh...remember now, stay quiet."
Eve started to unbutton Kurama's shirt, revealing well-toned muscles, she blushed even more at this and put her hands on his chest, there was no blood. Must just be a bruise or something she thought. She finished healing his chest and felt a throbbing pain come over her own chest.
"Ugh," she sighed softly, healing took quite a bit of energy, and since she had already fought him it was going to be a hard time staying conscious.
"Eve, are you ok?"
"I'm fine," she said getting up.
She extended a hand to Kurama to help him get up. She tried to help him up really she did, but as soon as Kurama grasped her hand and tugged a bit she fell on top of him, causing Kurama to fall back again.
"Eve!"
"I'm fine Kurama," Eve insisted, "Let me heal your back."
"My back is fine," Kurama said laying her gently on the side and buttoning his shirt. He then picked her up, his left arm under her legs and his right arm supporting her back.
"Really Kurama, I'm fine," Eve persisted still.
"No, you're not fine, you have to get some rest, healing me took too much of your energy," he walked back to their room.
"Hey guys," Kurama said tired, he looked at Eve, "She's asleep. I'm just going to change," he walked over to the spare bedroom and gently laid Eve on the bed, covering her with the blankets too. Kurama quietly shut the door.
Kurama went into his own room and changed, her ran his hands through his long hair. Sighing deeply his mind drifted upon Eve.
"Such a mysterious girl," he whispered.
"Who me?" Eve asked.
"Whoa!" Kurama exclaimed, "you...how?!"
"Teleported," she said simply.
"But you were asleep.." Kurama trailed off.
"Ah, you only thought I was asleep, well actually I just woke up...and teleported here."
"You really need rest-"
"I haven't finished healing you," she walked over to him, "here, take off your shirt."
"Eve-" he said as she worked her hands up his shirt instead. Eve concentrated hard and felt a semi-blinding pain pierce her back.
Eve finished, "There, done..." and she started to fall backwards but not before Kurama caught her.
"Kurama," Hiei knocked on the door, "I have to talk to you," he opened the door, "Sorry, did I interrupt something?" he looked from Eve to Kurama.
"Nothing, nothing at all," Kurama said placing Eve on his bed and covering her, "Don't wake up until morning this time," he whispered to her.
"Kurama, can we talk?"
"Sure Hiei," Kurama said walking out of his room and shutting the door silently.
Yusuke and Kuwabara were sitting at the table. Hiei sat down with them, motioning for Kurama to sit too. They all watched him as if expecting him to say something.
"Kurama, what happened in your battle?" Hiei asked in a cold voice.
"She beat me...in about less than a minute," Kurama summed it up.
"Beat you? But she couldn't beat Hiei-" Yusuke started.
"She was hiding her powers from him, I know it," Kurama cut him off.
"Why?" Kuwabara asked.
"I don't know, but she is very strong, she could've beaten you too Hiei."
"Then why didn't she?" Hiei bit out coldly, everyone knew Hiei hated it when people didn't use their full potential in battle
"Why was she full of bruises then?" Yusuke asked, "Why aren't you hurt?"
"I whipped her a couple times, but after that she healed me and the bruises appeared on her body," Kurama frowned in thought.
"Healed you?" Yusuke asked, "I've heard of that, only ice demons can do that, but since she's only half, there's a lot needed to heal properly...Lets see first the bruises would appear on her, second she really needs to concentrate, third it takes a lot of energy, fourth her hands need to be on what she's healing, and fifth....fifth, yeah, nothing can be in the way, like clothing for example..."
"How exactly did she heal you Kurama?"
Kurama started to blush, "Uh, just like Yusuke said..."
"We know the bruises appeared on her, she must've needed to concentrate, it did take a lot of energy by how tired she was, and..." Hiei said so Kurama could continue.
"She took...my shirt off and...and placed her...her hands on...my chest," Kurama felt his cheeks burning.
"Ah so I see Kurama, and did you enjoy it?" They all spun around, Eve was standing in the doorway.
"Well, as a matter of fact....I did," Kurama got up and walked over to Eve.
Eve masked her confusion but putting on a small smile as Kurama said those few words. The whole gang was confused, why would Kurama say such a thing.
Kurama and Eve were about a milimetre away from each other's faces and he was stroking her cheek, Eve turned a deep shade of red.
"I told you not to wake up until morning," Kurama said not pulling away.
"Yeah, you're right, night all," she slipped away from Kurama and was walking towards the door of her spare room, "night Kurama," she winked at him.
Kurama snapped back into being shy and blushed a deep red at the thoughts of what he just did, at what Eve just did!
"AHEM! And what was that" Yusuke said with a big grin on his face.
"Nothing, just saying good night," Kurama blushed even deeper.
"Night Kurama," Yusuke mimicked Eve's voice, "You're totally in love with her!"
Yusuke and Kuwabara started laughing while Hiei walked away into his room.
"Hiei! You wanted to talk?" Kurama said running up to him.
"We did," Hiei said coldly, "It amazes me, Kurama. How you could fall for someone so fake..." Hiei walked into his room.
"So I'm weak now aren't I?" Eve said appearing in Hiei's room.
"What do you want?" Hiei said bitterly.
"Just came to talk," Eve said casually.
"Get out," Hiei said softly.
"Why?" Eve walked over to him.
"Hn," Hiei said, thoughts already racing in his mind.
"Excuse me, I don't think that was an answer," Eve said walking away.
"Just get out," Hiei said once more.
Eve walked over to his window and opened it, "my...my family...was murdered...by a shadow demon," Eve said, tears stinging her eyes.
"Sad," Hiei said coldly.
"Murdered when...I was eight years old. My powers increased greatly but I had no idea of how to control it," a single tears fell.
"Hn, get out and tell someone who cares," Hiei said dangerously.
Eve continued still, "I blocked out all emotion, and tried to train myself, I was dangerous."
"Whatever," Hiei said, aware that Eve had shed a tear.
"Hiei, you're a cold person," Eve said bitterly.
"Yeah, I already know that, get out."
"Fine," Eve said teleporting herself out of the whole building.
Kurama's sharp ears picked up all of this in his room, but he had no idea of where Eve went. He got up and let himself into his friend's room.
"Hiei, how could you be so cold?" Kurama asked angrily.
"Hn, I told her to go."
"And she did, where is she!"
"How should I know, that weakling just teleported herself outta here, and I'm glad."
"Hiei!" Kurama yelled and went to search for Eve. He looked in her room, his room and finally outside where he found her in a tree, trying not to cry and mumbling to herself.
"Eve," Kurama coaxed softly, "please, come down here."
Eve disappeared in a cloud of smoke and reappeared in front of Kurama in a white puff.
"Eve, shhh, it's all right now," Kurama said pulling Eve into a hug.
"Why Kurama?"
"He's had a rough past too, he means well really," Kurama said, gently brushing a few hairs out of her face.
"Kurama," she muttered and buried her face into his chest and started to cry.
He rubbed her back in little circles, "Eve, if you fight him tomorrow he might ease up on you."
"I guess so, but shouldn't I go see Koenma?"
"Yeah, after that you'll train with Hiei, okay?"
"Yes," Eve looked up at him.
Kurama looked at Eve, he put a hand on her cheek and tilted her head. Then he bent his head, getting closer to her.
"Kurama!"
"Eve," he whispered.
"I haven't been this close to anyone since...since he was here..."
"Who?"
"My...my ex-boyfriend," She whispered.
"Well I'm here now, and I won't let anyone hurt you," he whispered back.
"You don't understand, he changed me, changed my past. If you really knew me you would...would..." Eve trailed off looking back into Kurama's vivid green eyes.
"Then let me know you," he whispered in a soft voice.
"I can't Kurama," Eve said before she teleported to her room.
"Eve!" Kurama said running towards the building. Kurama flung the door open and ran into Eve's room.
"Kurama, please, go away..." she mumbled, lying back down on her bed.
"Eve, please I just want to help you."
"Why? All my life I've been alone, and I don't think it'll change anytime soon."
"Well I do, Eve we're here to help you," he walked over to her and sat on her bed.
"Yeah, well was Hiei helping when he told me to get out?"
"He's had troubles of his own, hard troubles..."
A solid knock came from the door and it opened slowly.
Hiei.
"What do you want?!" Eve said.
"Just came to talk, Kurama," he nodded to him.
"Right," Kurama got up and left.
"Eve, I'd like to say sorry-"
"Sorry! Sorry for what! I don't care what you have to say!"
"Eve, listen to me-"
"Why should I? You didn't listen to me!"
"Eve, just listen to what I have to say," Hiei said.
"Hiei," Eve sighed, "I don't have the energy right now, just spill it and get out, do you even know how much it takes to teleport?!" Eve said her temper rising.
He walked over to her window, opening it and letting some air in, "when I was born, I was part ice demon and part fire demon. I got the traits of my father though, a fire demon. But for that, I was thrown over the ice demon world, supposedly to my doom. My mother an ice demon gave me this...her tear gem. I also had a sister, I wanted to go looking for her, and I did, I got this jagan, my third eye. It let me find her with ease, but in return, I couldn't tell her that I was her brother. We talked and I offered to find her brother-"
"But you are her brother-" Eve shed a tear, his life, his emotions, were all mixed up. A lot like hers.
"I offered to find her brother so she wouldn't know that I was really him," Hiei said as if Eve had never interrupted, "she started telling me what she thought he brother would be like, the exact opposite of what I am. It would break her heart to know that someone like me was her brother, to me her happiness is all that matters. And to know I was her brother would ruin it all-"
"No it won't Hiei, I'd rather know that someone was my brother than to keep it hidden from me-"
"Each time I return, have you found my brother? And a simple no is what I would all was reply."
"Hiei, you can't keep it hidden," another tear gem fell out of her eye, she squeezed it and let it transport to Hiei.
"What this?" Hiei asked as he examined it, "Eve, thank you," he said realizing what it was.
Eve's voice changed and went cold again, "Just don't spread it around," Eve said tossing the second tear gem on the ground.
"Hn," he said.
Eve walked out of her room and went into the kitchen and prepared a snack. Good buttery popcorn!
"Haven't had this in a while," Eve said as she rested her chin on her hand and watched the microwave. A hand rested on Eve's shoulder making her jump.
"You're tense," Eve turned around to find Kurama's friendly face smiling at her.
"Oh, hi. Want some?"
"Sure...why are you so tense, even when I was holding you..."
"It's nothing," Eve said, "Only the scars that won't go away," she muttered under her breath thinking he couldn't hear.
"Only the scars that won't go away?" Kurama whispered gently.
"You heard that?!" Eve said in surprise.
"What do you mean?"
Eve sighed, "my past."
"Tell me," Kurama said with a strange forcefulness in his voice.
"I can't."
"Why not-"
Ding. The popcorn was done, and Eve took it out, the butter filling the room with a delicious smell.
"Tell me why you are so hurt, why you are so tense," He followed Eve to the couch.
"Kurama, are you ever going to stop bothering me about my past?"
"Eve, I just want to help," he sighed.
"Then help me eat this popcorn," she said with a small laugh and flicked on the TV.
"Promise to tell me later?"
"Sure, whatever," Eve was watching the channels she flipped, "I feel like watching a movie."
Eve flipped the channels coming across a few movies, horror, comedy, adventure, and action. She stopped for each one, watching about five minutes of each to see if she liked it. None caught her attention until she flipped once again and saw a romance starting. The two lovers had been separated and were thinking about each other day in and day out. They both got offers to go on dates but replied with the same answer, "My true love, awaits for my return." She watched about twenty minutes of it, really enjoying it, but realizing that Kurama, as a boy, was probably hating every minute of it. She flipped the channel.
"Hey!" Kurama said a little louder than he expected.
"What?"
"Sorry, could we go back and watch that movie?"
"I guess so," Eve said, not really wanting to show her one weakness, romance. It was true, the one weakness she had was romance. She secretly longed for someone to sweep her off her feet. Roses, candles, soft music, rain walks, and passionate kisses in the moonlight. Her one weakness. She was lucky, in battle they could never find her weakness. When she battled, her emotions were hidden, no one guessing that her true weakness was romance. But here watching a romantic movie...with Kurama?! He was sure to guess her weakness.
'I have to leave,' she thought, Eve got up and went into her room.
"Eve? Where are you going?" Kurama asked politely.
"To my room," Eve sighed and closed the door.
"Finally," she sighed. She pulled out a piece of paper, it was a story she was working on entitled: Heat, Flame, and Passion; Fire!
