Tamashii no RUFURAN; Soul's Refrain "Faint"
Hiei scanned the city with his Jagon Eye and smirked as he found what he was looking for. Retying the bandanna back on, the fire youkai jumped down.
"GAAAAHH!!"
Kuwabara jumped from his spot next to Yusuke as Hiei appeared out of nowwhere. "Jeez Hiei! Can't you appear like a normal being??" The broad boy demanded. The fire youkai just regared Kuwabara with a tired stare of his idiocy and looked at Yusuke and Kurama.
"I found her trace and it's getting more demonic by the minute." Kurama heart sunk. "Not only that, but it seems more blood has been spilled today."
Yusuke gritted his teeth. "We have to take her down quickly." He looked at Kurama to Hiei. "Do you know her exact location?" Hiei just merely smirked.
More gold then black-blue, human fangs now turned to canine fangs ripped the flesh of a struggling human; warm blood sprayed on her face and her clothes, which had turned from white to red.
Lii looked up from her almost half-dead prey as her blood red eyes now had lost it traces of having any human within her. The only thing matter to this demonic human was hunger. Hunger that drove her to to hunt these humans and what made the hunt more exciting was the fear within them.
She released the young human female she was holding as her tongue licked the blood around her mouth. Severaly bloodied and mutilated bodies laid around her: some half-dead, some alive and some simply dead. The Yokai Lii settaled her blood red gaze on a young mother fearfully clutching her child to her, half sheilding her pup with her body; as Lii drew close. The demonic human sniffed the scared woman and child and snorted.
She did not attack family not matter how hungry she was.
Standing up, Lii glared at them, as if telling them to get lost before she changes her mind. The mother immediatly obeyed and tightly hugged her child to her chest and ran off. Lii gave a fanged grinned but suddenly gave a sharp cry of pain as her head began to throb.
Somebody was holding her. No, more then one person was holding her. She felt the warmth of the bodies pressed around her, sheilding her from the slaughter that was going on.
Blood reached her little nose as well as fear from the bodies around her. She looked up to see the face of her mother; her human mother crying.
Human mother.
Her human mother.
Red eyes snapped open.
She was human.
She was part human.
She had to remember this. This body was human and she resides in this body; making her human.
I am human. Lii thought, feeling some of her Yokai Tamashii beginning to slip back into her subconcious. This memory had woken 'something' else up inside of her.
But what?
"LII!!!!!!!!"
Lii whipped her head around to see four people she remember well. Especially the redhead human. Lii bared her canine fangs and stood up as four boys began to jog down to a hault.
"Holy sh-!" Yusuke saw the buildings around a mess with cars and other vehicles thrown into them with shattered glass everywhere. Bodies strewn across the sidewalk and street, but where Lii stood more bodies laid in badder shape and in nudity then the others.
Kuwabara froze in his spot. Kurama quickly spotted this and looked at his friend. "Kuwabara-kun?" He spoke softly. The taller boy paled as his eyes were set firmly where Lii stood.
"I could barely feel it. Her Human Soul. It seemed more faint then yesterday." Yusuke ground his teeth as Kurama looked hopelessly at his cousin. Hiei put a hand on the handle of his katana.
"Her Yokai Tamashii is working to quickly," He said, red eyes firmly on Lii's own blood eyes; only they didn't belong to thier Lii anymore. They were much colder, ruthless and yet he saw a bit of confusion in there. "Probably by the end of this day or tomorrow, she would become fully demon and she would be totally lost to us."
Yusuke felt his muscle twitch in his upper arm as he stared at Lii as well. "So, I guess were going to have to take her down right here and right now?" He asked. Hiei nodded. Kurama bite his lip and reached into his hair to pull out a rose.
Please forgive me, my baby cousin. He thought mentally towards the wary demonic female. He saw her body tense and watched those red eyes blinked as if hearing his thought.
Kuwabara fumed as he readied himself for battle. "I really don't like this at all." He said, his Rei-ken forming into his hand. "Not one bit."
"You're not the only one Kuwabara." Yusuke said, anger edging his voice. "But we can't risk Lii becoming her full demonself and wreak havoc across the world. Let's just do this as quick as we can for both our sakes and hers."
"If I knew becoming a Spirit Detective meant you had to fight, maybe even kill a friend thats gone ballistic; I wouldn't have joined." Muttered Kuwabara. Yusuke nodded. Especially when you friend is just a pup still.
Lii watched them with wary eyes. She knew they were going to attack her, but she felt them hesitating to attack her. It confused her. Why would they hesitate? Any demons or humans thought anyone was a threat they attack without a problem, but these four had a problem to attack her.
Lii had her eyes on the black hair boy with wide brown eyes. He looked familiar? Hell, they all looked faimliar.
But I never seen them in my life at all! Her mind screamed at her. How can they looked familiar!??
Another painful throb struck her. Lii clutched her head in agnoy. Something was deperatly trying to wake up, tyring to find it's way back to the light and out of the darkness of her subconcious.
LEAVE ME ALONE!!! She screamed silently. Another pounding and painful throb.
"Oi, Lii!! Get your lazy ass out of my bed, you damn whelp!!" A dark hair boy with messy hair that was usually slicked back; pulled the sheet out from beneath her.
Lii tumbled onto the floor and looked half-sleepy and half-dazed up at the brown eye boy. She smiled. "Ohayou, Yuuusuukee..." She drawled out.
Yusuke rolled his eyes and covered her up with the blanket he pulled out from underneath her earlier. "This is what I get for keeping you up late. No wonder Kurama said I had to put you to bed earlier." Lii listen to her fuming friend leave the room.
Giggling, she crawled out from underneath the cream color sheet.
"yusu...ke....ku...ra...ma...." The unforbidden names left her lips.
Names.
She knew their names. They were familiar. She knew what those names mean and held to her, but it wasn't enough.
Not enough.
She felt something struggling in the back of her mind, wanting out.
Wanting to wake up from this horror nightmare.
And no matter how hard she tried to push back, it fought back more determine then ever.
She growled, cursing her Human Soul. It was its doing. It was the one corrupting her. Tormenting her.
I have got to get rid of it quickly. Thought Lii. It's beginning to become a nusaince. Giving me false memories and false emotions.
But the names.
Yusuke.
Kurama.
They meant something to her.
Something dear.
Something so dear, she valued it more then her own life.
But what!??
Lii clutched her head.
Shut up!! Leave me alone!! You are a weak, stupid, pathetic, worthless Human Soul that's trying to corrupt me!!
No.
I won't go! I want to find out what those names mean! I know what they are, but what do they mean!!!????
Help me!
No.
Please!
No.
You have too. You are not me. I am me. You are my Soul. You have to help me remember!
Shut up!! I'm me! You are nothing! You are that stupid Human Soul that's trying to break me down!!
I. WON'T. HAVE. IT.
Something exploded in her head.
No, something hit her head.
Lii stumbled back and fell on her rump. She looked up to see the spike-hair boy with a white starburst in it. Another name came into her mind.
Hiei.
She frowned. Another name, but no meaning whatsoever.
"Get a hold of yourself, Lii." The boy spoke up. It was dark and deep, destorying his image of looking like a mere child. Lii snarled and lunged for the demon.
Hiei easily dodge the lunging demonic Lii and whipped around to see her crash into the naked body of a woman, whose left breast was ripped off. He crinkled his nose. He had never seen Lii killed like this: like a wild demon animal.
He watched Lii coil up her body for another spring and he ready himself to dodge. Instead the ground behind errupted and a 20 foot vince wrapped itself around his body and hoisted him up into the air as it continued to grow, squeezing the breath out of him.
He looked down to see a spirit gun hit Lii from the back and sent her sprawling forward. The vine released him and he landed on the ground, like a cat .
"Hiei, are you all right?" He heard Kurama's voice asked.
"Hn," Was his answered as he watched Lii pick herself up. Hiei unsheathed his katana. "She's lost to us, Kurama. We have to kill her."
Kurama gave a sharp gasp and Kuwabara opened up his mouth to argue. "She just another dangerous demon, Detective." The fire youkai looked at Yusuke. "And if we don't kill her soon. She'll kill us and everyone around her."
Yusuke bit his lip. There were times he wish he wasn't the leader of the Reikai Tantei, and this was one of those times. He lowered his head in submission. "Take her down as quick as you can, guys. And try to make it painless." He could feel Kurama's eyes on him, but he didn't dare look at his redheaded friend.
Instead he readied his Rei-gun and pointed at was now thier lost friend turned demon.
