Mari: Like I said in the last chapter, this chapter starts after Mayumi
explained her past.
Dogsc16: Ok I will do that, thank you. Making it a YusukeMayumi fic sound fun! But I never tried romance so sorry if it might suck.
Bbgohan: Thank you!! ^_^. Well look, I'm updating!!
Chapter 4
The Only One Who Understands
And the present moment, Mayumi had explained her past, and Kurama, Yusuke and Youma are talking about it on the small balcony outside Youma's room. Kuwabara is inside Youma's room with Mayumi. In a useless attempt to make Mayumi fall for him. (He got over Yukina fast)
"With a past like that, it's hard to believe Mayumi is so nice." Yusuke said.
"Are you comparing her past to Hiei's?" Kurama asked.
"Yeah."
"Are you saying that everyone with a sad past has to be bitter?" Youma asked, glaring at Yusuke. (You'll understand why she is glaring later)
"Well it makes sense that way."
"Yusuke, not everyone lives a life like Hiei's, he was deserted by the thieves that took care of him. He was young and had to take care of himself, and if he let his guard down he would most likely get killed. That's why he is like he is." Youma said.
"...OK."
They all just stood around quietly for a few minute's. In those few minute's, Youma had looked very, well, not like her usual happy-go-lucky self. Her hair was covering her eyes. Yusuke was concerned.
"Youma, are you OK?"
"...I have sympathy for Mayumi."
"Why?"
"I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!!" Youma shouted. She glared at Yusuke and stormed into her room, stormed out of her room, and stormed out of sight.
(Yusuke's current expression: O_O)
Yusuke and Kurama stared at the door that Youma stormed out of.
"What's her problem?" Yusuke asked Kurama.
"You've struck a nerve." Kurama answered.
"What nerve?"
Kurama turned to face Yusuke, "Yusuke, you don't really know about Youma's past do you?"
"What is there to know? She is half fox-demon and half water apparition. She was a thief like you and came to the human world with you. What is it that I'm missing?"
"You said it yourself, she is half and half. Not whole. So like Mayumi, she was also discriminated. I had to protect her a lot when she was young. She doesn't really like being protected. So she doesn't really like to talk about it. In fact her past is very similar to Mayumi's. Except for being a prisoner. She's probably is the only one who fully understands Mayumi."(Hence the title of this chapter)
"So, is that why she was a cold-hearted thief?"
"Yes."
"Man, a life like that must suck."
"Yusuke?"
A new voice came from the door. It was Mayumi.
"What was Youma so upset about?" She asked.
"Well..."
~*~*~*~*~After Yusuke and Kurama explain~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So she has a past like me?" Mayumi asked.
Kurama and Yusuke nodded.
Mayumi didn't respond, she just walked away.
~*~With Youma~*~
~*~Flashback~*~
The young Mizu Youma had coughed up dirt as she tried to push herself off the ground. She glared at the two demon bullies that had just pushed her to the ground.
"WHY WON'T YOU LEAVE ME ALONE!!" She shouted.
The two bullies laughed, "Simple, you're not a pure blood, so it's fun to make fun of you."
"Is that the best you can come up with?" Said a cold voice.
Before the two bullies could figure out who said that, they were on the ground, unconscious.
It was the younger Youko Kurama. He turned to his younger sister.
"Are you OK?" He asked, reaching out a hand.
Youma took it and stood up. "Yeah, I'm fine. I hate having you rescue me like this Kurama." Youma said, guiltily.
"Don't worry about it."
"But I do anyway! I might get you in trouble."
"See Youma, that is why they tease you, you're too kind-hearted. Demons take advantage of that."
"So, I should be more cold-hearted?"
"It couldn't hurt to try, but at least stand up for yourself."
"...Alright."
~*~The present day~*~
Youma was daydreaming out an open window. "I was just weak then, if I saw them again, they will pay."
"Youma, are you OK?"
Youma looked behind her and saw Mayumi.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"You don't look fine."
"I'm just reliving old memories that would be better off forgotten." Youma said cheerfully.
Mayumi walked slowly until she was next to Youma.
"Youma, we both have past's that are bad, and we can't help that, but we can make a better future." Mayumi said, smiling.
Youma smiled back. "You're right."
Suddenly Yusuke poked his head into the hallway.
Hey, guys, can you come here for a minute? Koenma called on the suitcase thingy."
"Coming!" The two girls answered at the same time.
After Yusuke left, Youma noticed Mayumi blushing.
"Yusuke is a nice guy isn't he?" Youma asked.
"Yeah." Mayumi said, dreamily
"You like Yusuke don't you?" Youma asked, with an evil grin.
"Yea-NO!!" Mayumi shouted, blushing.
"Don't worry about it. He is very likable."
Youma suddenly grabbed Mayumi's hand. "C'mon." She said.
Mayumi smiled and let Youma drag her to the living room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Mari: Well, Youma's past has been revealed. Yay! Well, how do you like? Tell me please *puppy dog eyes*
