Chapter 13 Ko-en-ma?
I kept glancing over at Kurama; his cheek was covered in the bandage. Great, ya really screwed this one up Ixi! I thought yelling to myself. I followed the gang out to the garden; the silvery moonlight clothing everything it touched in a milky white cloth. I looked down at my feet and followed, but there was a nagging feeling someone was watching me. I looked up and I saw Hiei glancing at me from the corner of his eye, but when he saw me looking at him I swear he blushed while looking forward. HIEI BLUSHED! World's goin to end now, yep all goin to die in a horrible death of pink flames 'cause pink is the color of the apocalypse (Seriously, I read it on a quiz :P) I looked down again but rammed into Yusuke when he stopped without warning. "Oro?" I said looking up. "K Botan, hurry up and take us to pacifier-breathe." Yusuke said completely ignoring me. "Right-o Yusuke SIR!" I stared blankly at Botan. She was in a pink kimono and floating in mid-air on an oar. Okay, why do things get weirder before they get saner? "Right this way ladies and gentlemen, watch your step as you leave Nigenkai and enter REIKAI!" Botan cried as she ushered everyone through a glowing portal.
I stared at it; little scared and a little excited . . . then someone took my hand firmly in his or her. I looked up to see whom, but they had already stepped through the portal, pulling me with them. I looked around the place I had found myself in, the dimensional portal, it was mostly blue light with lighter blue streaks every no and again. I could see Botan, Yusuke, Kuwabara and Kurama ahead of me, but the last person I had expected to see doing this was, Hiei was the one who had taken my hand in his. Hiei . . . Suddenly we sped up and Hiei's hold on my hand got tighter. Once through the other side I could see a huge . . . a huge palace thingy. And I mean HUGE! "Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the enterance to Reikai, and thank you for traveling with Pilot of the River Styx Travel Systems, thank you again and enjoy your stay." Botan said as she jumped off her oar and walked right up to the huge door. "Koenma sir, we have an interesting case we'd like you to check into." Botan said into a com. device on the door. "WHAT! I'M BUSY, But come in anyway." Came a VERY cranky voice from the other end. The door opened and I followed everyone in, Hiei had left to join the rest of the gang, but was still the closest.
We traveled down the long hallway, which in my opinion resembled a throat, for what like seemed like forever. Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? I questioned myself too scared to say anything aloud. "Almost." Hiei muttered under his breath, but directed at me. Ah, not Hiei too, are all these people telepathic!? I cried, earning a small smile from Hiei. Haha so funny! I dryly said giving him a two-second glare. "I know, you should be a stand-up comic." Came the sarcastic voice of Hiei in my head. How often do you people do this? "Do what?" Go into my mind with no permission of any kind from me! I exclaimed. "Oh, only when we're bored. Your mind's like an open-book." I lengthened the glare I was giving him as I walked on. Hey Hiei, if I ask you a question, will you answer it? "Depends, what's the question and why are asking it?" Why don't you tell Yukina you're her brother? I must have struck a nerve with that one because Hiei didn't say anything. Hiei, I'm sorry. I said to see if he was still in the recesses of my mind. He must have left because he didn't respond.
Walking down the throat-like hallway seemed to take forever, but before I could react we where in . . . The demon's stock exchange! Ogres of many colors, and other strange looking creatures bolted from one desk to another occasionally shouting out, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN JOHNSON IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION!" "CRITICAL WHAT? HE'S AHEAD OF SCHEDULE!" "I NEED THAT PAPERWORK FOR CHRISTINE NOW!" I stared blankly at the figures dashing to and fro, carrying mountains of paperwork, or a phone with a cord just yay too short, and one was even fumbling with a large spike covered club. "C'mon Ixi!" Came the annoyed snap of Yusuke. I nodded dumbly and hurried to catch up, almost knocking over a stack of papers carried by one of the ogres. "Sorry!" I cried as I tried running backwards to apologize. "Baka nigen!" I heard him mutter as he picked up a piece of paper that had fallen.
I ended up ramming into Hiei, who just Hn'd and stiffened. "Sorry." I muttered not making eye contact. "In there Ixi." Yusuke said pointing to a slightly open door. I walked in alone, glancing back at the gang as I took the final step in. For all I could see, the room was empty of all life, only a desk almost completely covered in paper stacks. "Hello?" I said unsure. Then I saw one of the paper stacks having paper taken off it at a fast rate. "Hello?" I said louder. "Back to life? Why not? Special powers? Sure!" This and other things were heard from behind the mass of papers. Sounds like a kid. "HELLO!" I said even louder and the muttering stopped. I walked up so that I would see the other side if the desk, and in the chair was a baby. I fell over anime style. "Ah you must be Ixiada." I stood up, a surprised look on my face. "Heh, this is funny, a baby? Ruler of Reikai?" I said sarcastically. The baby got a very sour look on his face. "Revere me and bow down to me." He said in a flat voice.
I rolled my eyes. "Right, even if you are royalty or whatever, there is NO way I'm bowin' down." I said while glaring slightly. "Yep, you're Ixi alright." The baby muttered while starting to search for a paper in the mountain. "Have a seat Ixi, right over there." Koenma pointed to a chair on the far side of the room and I walked over and sat down. After about two second the whole mountain of papers came crashing down as Koenma pulled out a single piece of paper. "BOTAN GET IN HERE!" He cried standing on his desk. Botan rushed in. "What is it Koenma sir?" She asked a little breathless. "You're going to have to hold Ixi down when I take a blood sample." "HEY WAIT JUST ONE SECOND!" I yelled jumping up from my seat. "Nobody gave you any permission to take blood samples, you're not my doctor!" At the sound of my screaming the rest of the gang rushed in with a 'where's the fire?' type of look on their faces. "Kurama you grab one arm, and Yusuke take the other, I'll need the blood sample to see if she's a demon or not." Kurama and Yusuke glanced at each other and half gulped as the slowly began to walk towards me.
Once they had a tight grip on my arms Koenma pulled out a big syringe to take the blood. "Just know you two, I won't forget this." I muttered while I gave each a glare. I continued to mutter threats until Koenma had finally walked towards me with the needle. It pierced my arm just below the shoulder and I watched as blue blood began to fill the glass. Wait, blue? I asked myself and the needle was taken out. "Blue blood? What the hell is she?" Yusuke asked, looking at the blue liquid. "That's what we intend to find out Yusuke." Koenma said waddling back over to his desk. "Whatever is in you Ixi, it wanted to disguise itself well, you are obviously wondering why you are just now seeing the blue?" I nodded. "Hmm, what kind of demon has blue blood though?" Koenma muttered putting his chin in his hand. "Dragons." Hiei muttered, but everyone heard him and turned to stare at him. "Absurd! Dragons are extinct and they never had the ability for something of this extravagance!" Koenma exclaimed. Hiei muttered something like fool or idiot as he shook his head and walked out of the room.
"Are you finished with me?" I asked impatiently and Koenma nodded, still glaring in the direction Hiei had left in. "Ja ne." I muttered following the same path Hiei had taken. Once out in the hall though, Hiei was nowhere to be seen. So I began to walk in no particular direction, but soon found myself lost. After passing what seemed to be the same statue for the third or fourth time I stopped and sat down. There wasn't anyone around; I was completely alone, and lost. "Good goin' Ixi." I muttered looking down each passageway. "Lost?" I looked up; Hiei was standing above me with the cleverest little smirk on his face. "Nope, I just don't know where I am right now." I sarcastically said standing up. "Oh well in that case, I'll just leave you alone . . ." Hiei's voice was thick with sarcasm as he began to walk away. "Get back here!" I cried running after him. He glanced behind him before vanishing into thin air. I stopped and looked around for him. "Oro?" I said looking everywhere from that spot.
"You lose." I heard Hiei snicker as I felt a blade of a katana against my neck. I froze as the cold steel touched my skin. We stood frozen like that for what felt like an eternity before Hiei softly took the blade down. I began to shake very slightly from the closeness of the blade even though it was gone and Hiei must have noticed. "Ixi?" He questioned softly reaching out to touch my shoulder, but I shied away from his hand. "Ixi?" He said again as he once again tried to reach for my shoulder. "NO STAY AWAY!" I screamed falling to my knees. I couldn't understand why I wasn't letting him touch me but there was a strong urge to get as far away as possible. Then a sudden, almost like something inside me wanted out feeling took over my body. A strong wind appeared from nowhere and both Hiei and me were caught in its strong current. Hiei was trying to reach me through the current and I tried to get away. "Ixi, let me help you out of here!" Hiei yelled over the rushing wind. "NO DON'T TOUCH ME!" I screamed as he took hold of my wrist.
Things went from bad to worse just as I felt his skin touch mine. A searing pain was shooting through my wrist and when I looked up at Hiei, he was surrounded by a purplish-black aura. Then the presence within me took control; I pulled away from Hiei's grasp and took hold of his own wrist. I kept gripping his wrist until blood came from where my nails dug into his skin. "Ixi let go!" Hiei cried, and I heard something in his voice I had never thought I would hear, fear. "I can't Hiei, something is controlling me!" I screamed as I felt another urge from the presence. The aura surrounding Hiei began to flow towards my hand and I could feel Hiei's wrist get really hot, but as the aura began to disappear his skin began getting colder, until it was almost freezing. I felt like I was going to black out and the wind began to disappear. I fell to the floor and I could hear Hiei thud to the ground too. Just as my vision began to black out I could see Hiei lying next to me, unconscious with several cuts all over his body. "Hiei . . ." I whispered in pain just as I blacked out. Why does anyone I get close to get hurt? Was my last thought as I drifted to unconsciousness.
