Chapter 9: Time Flash

Slowly Chiyo got better. Kurama was not the kindest of all teachers. He pushed her to the brink making sure she was going at her strongest. He couldn't help but smile as she got better and faster.

"Heh, well with luck you could race Hiei now." Kurama smiled as Chiyo sat down and lay down in the grass. "God this is hard. So tired." Chiyo mumbled placing her hands over her face lost in thought. Kurama approached her and stood over her looking down. Chiyo smirked a little peaking through her hands and foot swiped him.

"I got you Kurama-kun!!!" She laughed and stood up. Offering a hand down to him. Kurama took her hand up gladly. Surely Yoko's words were true. Kurama was doomed to fall in love with this girl. "So what now?" Chiyo asked yawning looking up to the sky. "Well nothing. We just do our missions." Kurama said just looking around.

"So what do we-......" Chiyo began before a dark force swallowed them whole.

Kiayshi came out unwillingly along with Yoko as they fell into the Makai Woods, the very spot in which they died.

"WHAT THE HELLL HAPPENED!!!!!" Kiayshi yelled whipping around remembering her surroundings. "It seems...we have been transported back in time......this is so strange." Yoko said turning around looking as well.

Kiayshi's violate eyes stopped on the body lying before her. "Y-Y- Yoko.....it's the hunter.....he's dead...." She stuttered her fox ear twitching. A demon guard of Yoko's came bursting through the dense woods speaking quickly. "Yoko your servants and most of the guards are dead. Lesser yet strong demons managed to make it into the castle. That woman there killed the demons. We have suffered many casualties though....." The demon stopped to hear a response from Yoko.

Yoko looked at the demon. And nodded. "Check the premises and make sure you fine no more demons. Have the others clean out the castle and give those who died a proper burial." Yoko spoke coolly like always walking into the woods and calling over his shoulder. "Kiayshi, come with me."

Kiayshi didn't question she just followed. Yoko stopped and rubbed his head like he had a headache. "Do you have that pressure on your mind?" He asked. "Yes but I just push it away but it does hurt." She replied confused.

"You don't hear Chiyo do you?"

"No"

"I can't hear Shuichi......."

"You mean this is the past past....like we never got killed?!"

"By the looks of it yes......... but this wasn't made by a different demon. It was made by one of us." Yoko turned his gaze to her. She looked down. "What have you done, Kiayshi?" He asked looking at her.

"I thought it would be better if we just started over.........like the hunter was killed.........like it never happened. Start like it should instead of how it was........" She spoke so softly it was a whisper. However Yoko heard every word.

He couldn't help but let a smile cross him. To think that she wanted him to live in a time in which he was comfortable and stronger, along with a time that he had met her. A time that he could succeed with her. Just him and her. No one else. No Reikai and no detective jobs. A time when he could flourish and be happy.

"I'm sorry........." She turned away. She hadn't ever said sorry to anyone in her life and she felt terribly degraded. Yoko just shook his head and embraced her lightly. "It's ok. I know you care enough to take me someplace that I am happy. Arigato." He let her go and walked to the castle. Leaving her in a state of shock.

Kiayshi stood, now alone in the woods where Yoko left her. Completely lost in the roses and rain scent he had left for her. She shook her head quickly losing the daze that she was in and ran after him. 'I could get used to this....I have my own body......and......my own mind and time.' She smiled at her thoughts and reached the gates of the grand castle, stepping in.

All was as it was before the massacre. Clean, orderly, and every servant already had been given a proper burial. Kiayshi looked at her self. Still in the kimono Yoko gave her. Still the tomboy with the rough edges and bad attitude. "I am defiantly home." She smiled and went back to the same room and sat on the futon.

Surrounded by the lovely screens depicting the sakura blossoms in the spring, and the gentleness of them. Sitting on a fine silky blanket with the bloody bandages next to it....her bandages. "Amazing.....it lasted......I never would have thought.....it would last." She awed at everything that she remembered. The soft patterns of the kimono, and her same blue tinted clothes in the corner.

Yoko walked around his home, lost in the thoughts that returned to him. It was like the other reality was a simple dream. A simple dream. Yoko disregarded thoughts of going back. Here he was king of thieves, wanted by all bounty hunters in the land, and yet reined supreme. He walked to the garden and sat down at the base of the tree like he always used to taking in everything.

(Imagine the opening theme to Final Fantasy 8 here)

Kiayshi walked into the garden a dead serious look on her face as servants followed behind. Her eyes cold as ice she looked at him. Yoko looked at her his eyes grew dark. He knew what was happening as he rushed in and dawned armor and running out the front gates Kiayshi close behind.

"Kiayshi stay behind! I need you to stay behind. This is very important and I don't know what's going to happen. You must promise me you will stay behind." Yoko spoke so passionately and yet so sternly.

Kiayshi looked at him her vision blurred in the salty tears as she held her head down to the ground. "I-I promise...."

Yoko could see the tears as he placed a hand under her chin and brought her head up slowly meeting her eyes with his giving her a sincere gaze. She looked into his eyes tear releasing themselves from her eyes. Yoko carefully leaned down and captured her lips for a moment time seemed to stop. As Yoko pulled away he gave her one lone rose and backed away at a walk slowly gaining speed turning and running away looking over his shoulder once.

Kiayshi collapsed to the ground tears flowing freely her sobs herd. She couldn't stop him. Not from this. Not from this at all.

Yoko approached the fox army that seemed gathered on the horizon. The lots of the army were red foxes and the white foxes regained few.

Yoko took a deep breath and looked up strong as ever as he looked farther ahead. Over the horizon an army of demon wolves approached. A war. A war between the wolves and the foxes over the territory of the new land.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Kiayshi stood a top the grand castle on the very highest tower looking out onto the up coming battle the wind blowing her hair and kimono gently as a tear began to fall from her eyes again.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

A horrid cry rang out the wolves began filling the area. The foxes charged in an attempt to retaliate. It ran up in a bloody mess. The wolves began their rain of arrows and daggers sending them down upon the foxes. One by one they fell being hit in the skull and the eyes through the hearts as well.

Yoko ran forward still, swiping through them with his rose whip wrapping it around one of the wolves neck and pulling slowly taking off its head and then putting the whip at the others. Calling forth all sorts of demon plants that did the most gruesome things.

Kiayshi had to flinch at this battle it was the most horrid thing she had to watch.

Yoko suddenly smirked as the wolves were being drawn down to a few. Though the foxes also remained few. A wolf came behind Yoko clearly going to pull a kamikaze as he reared up glowing red.

Kiayshi wanted to cry out but the only thing she could do was watch.

Yoko turned and plunged his hand deep within the wolf's chest pulling out his heart and throwing it away. Another came in front of him not to Yoko's noticing as the wolf reared up holding a spear in his hand.

An arrow came from a far as the wolf fell. Yoko looked around and saw arrows coming from no where except these...were spirit arrows.

Yoko turned to see the top of his tower far off as the glowing arrows came down killing wolf after wolf after wolf.

Tears came from Kiayshi's eyes as she drew back another arrow releasing it and then another. From there another again.

"Just die....you stupid wolves!!!!!!!!!!!!" Her voice rang out like thunder in the distance. Yoko could almost see the image of Chiyo standing next to her firing along Kiayshi's side. Yoko then smiled. He knew that though they couldn't hear them Kurama and Chiyo were still there. He knew their spirits were there fighting along side them. Yoko looked around. 20 foxes and 0 wolves....the bodies pilled on each other like bricks on a stone building. The stench was unbearable as Yoko turned to leave signaling the foxes to follow him back to his castle.

Kiayshi stood above them panting heavily tears and all streaming down her face as Yoko approached. He looked up at her smiling that kind smile. She felt so dizzy just then. She had sacrificed a little life energy to aid in her attack as she began to fall. It was like flying. The ground was fast approaching as the wind wiped her hair around.

Kiayshi then felt as though time had stopped. The wind was howling around her as she saw the images of her past and future come before her.

A white kimono, rice falling around, smiling, laughing, and Yoko standing there proudly with his arm around her. This was her wedding....

Chiyo.

Kurama.

Hiei

Yusuke

Keiko

Botan Koenma

Kuwabara

Every one.

She saw them all as she fell.

Yoko ran to her catching her only a mere foot before she finally hit the ground. He let out a hard breath holding her there. She was only knocked out but she was so cold and so pale Yoko couldn't help but let a tear escape him as he carried her closely to his room.

Yoko laid her down on his futon sitting next to it looking at her waiting for her to wake up.

He couldn't believe it. The woman he loved had saved him. She had repaid her so called debt to him.

Yoko looked down at her as she slowly opened her eyes.

"Kiayshi..."

Kiayshi looked up as Yoko secede her into his arms and uttered the words that made Kiayshi start to cry.

"I love you..."

Dg: now that is a way to end a chapter. HEH HEH!!!

Dg: yeah yeah sure... well that wasn't so violent. Damn fluff. It always sneeks its way in. Oh well R&R people.
