"Tension by the Flames and Roses"
Chapter Four: It Was All A Joke
A/N: I don't own YYH & its characters AT ALL! I do own Mikano and this story.
Oh yes, this chapter explains some things about Mikano and Hiei & Kurama's true purpose of aiding her...
Hiei and Kurama got out of the bath and transported themselves back to Makai and were now in front of Koenma's door.
'Hn. That Mikano is a mystery. She also seems as if she knows all tactics we have to show her.'
'Well now, she is simply skilled. We need to protect her and that is why we must return tomorrow.'
'What does she mean by -the nicest, hn. Hidden intentions.'
'She wants to see which of us would serve as a better defender?'
'If you say so.'
The two walked in to find a laughing teenage form Koenma, causing his pacifier to nearly choke him.
'ACK UCK! Hello g-guys! BWAHAHAHAHAHA! H-how was your f-first day...AHAHAHAH!'
The duo stood there with sweatdrops and were gaping at the shaking Koenma, who was now on the floor holding his stomach.
'Ermmm Koenma sir, are you feeling alright? You seem as if you have been poisioned with laughing gas.' Kurama questioned.
'BWAHAHAHAHA! You guys were hilarious! You should be on Makai's Funniest Training Videos! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!'
'I think you have snapped. Were you possibly survailing us tonight?' Hiei asked angrily.
Koenma stood up, and was now clutching his chest from laughing too much. 'You two sure do cath on quickly, and yes Hiei I was supposedly spying on you two.'
Hiei was now incredibly angry and was about to hit Koenma with his katana. 'So you sent us to this "human girl" for protection, and she knows every single tactic already? Why did you waste our time?'
Kurama nodded and was looking at Koenma with a puzzled look, 'Yes, I agree. What purpose did this have?'
Koenma became his baby self again and stood up on his desk to look at the two. He took out his pacifier in case it would choke him again. 'Alright guys, sit down. I have much explaining I suppose.'
He stared off into the ceiling with the pair's eyes fixated on him. 'It is true she has nearly mastered those tactics of the demons, but herself is not one.'
This got the curious stare of Kurama as Hiei got a vague flashback feeling.
'Born into a a demon family of pure fire, she somehow had the chromosomes mix up and destroy the demon quality of her embryo. Her family was shocked, especially her older brother Kei, when she wasn't able to use her powers by age 10.'
'So they had to shun her from the clan...and send her to the ningenkai as the human she was.'
Hiei looked at Koenma, she was just like me, he thought.
'Yes Kurama. She was considered an outcast and banned from ever returning to the family. Even though she loved them dearly, she couldn't ever see them another time. Kei had been distant from her, but was the saddest out of the clan. He handed her a fire gem necklace that he said was to hold rei powers and were to help her.'
'That is like my childhood. I was handed the tear gem...'
Kurama pulled a rose from his hair and plucked the petals, 'To have to live on one's own at such a young age.'
Koenma nodded and a saddened gaze was in his eyes, 'She was forced to fend for herself, but soon after she started to live with a boy she befriended named Kyonagu. The pair went to the same school and were close, both would've been alone otherwise. Mikano was happy and perky, like the side of her you see today. This all changed when....'
The baby formed ruler had a tear slide down his cheek, '....Kyonagu had left to the Makai.'
Kurama's eyes grew bigger, 'Her family....Kyonagu must have been a demon hunter and sensed something about young Mikano.'
'It was the fire gem....he would have recognized its form and set out immediately to locate her family. Which she must have let slip out to him, as she thought she could entrust him with her secrets.'
'Kurama you are right, and Hiei that was exactly what had happened...'
'Kyonagu was part of a renowned hunter family bent on eliminating the race. He set out when Mikano was 13, leaving her heartbroken and alone. She couldn't trust him anymore, or any human in that case. She ran away as far as she could and lived in an abandoned riceball factory, managing to steal crates of riceballs to sell for profit. Two years after the incident, she felt her gem glowing in her hands...she knew something must have happened.'
Koenma stepped off the desk and switched on his tv, 'Botan collected her and brought her to the Makai and explained how her family had been...killed.'
'We kept close watch of her and made sure she started her training in techniques, as Kyonagu would surely try and kill her next...Somehow, she learned all of her family's skills as the power of their bodies was transfered into her gem, enabling powers matching or surpassing those of yours' (nods to Hiei and Kurama)'
'Hn. So our training was for naught. (grabs Koenma by the sleeve) SO WHAT WAS OUR DAMN PURPOSE?!'
Kurama gave Hiei a sharp look, 'Let him down, surely he will tell us. I do agree however, that you wasted our energy to teach her!'
Koenma fell in a heap on his desk, 'Alright! Since the loss of her family, she has hid her pain deep beneath her and managed to mask it with her Botan-like innocence. Truly, she doesn't trust humans. Her boyfriends she told you about, she had us scan with detail before she let them construct her a home. Now the reason for you two is after I have been observing her...(Hiei - stalker...) I have seen she truly wants company. So, you two are to serve as suitors!'
(huge sweatdrops) Hiei jumped up and drew his katana at Koenma, 'I am NOT to be serving as some HUSBAND chained down to a NINGEN!'
Kurama drew another rose and pointed its thorns at Koenma, 'You used us and did not even tell us the truth? Lying about your real cause?'
Koenma picked up his pacifier and drew a barrier, causing the two to fall back into their seats.
'I did not lie. You two are pure demon, even with Kurama's human exterior. She will be able to trust you two to stand by her side and protect her. I saw on the tv here that you two were indeed falling for her (laugh)-so this will be the test to see if your love prevails!'
With that, Koenma pointed his finger in the air in triumph as the duo gaped.
Hiei gave a smirk to Kurama, 'Obviously I will win her heart.'
'That isn't so, she shares a love of plants and appears to favor us equally.'
The two were in a competition now for Mikano Okuni's heart, and really...who WAS the nicest?
They walked out the door and prepared to leave to ningekai until the following day.
'Aha.' Koenma laughed as the door shut behind him.
A/N: I know, weird but it explains stuff! Will Mikano choose Kurama or Hiei for her husband? Or none or....both?!?Please R&R!
