Hey ya people. No, still not doing disclaimer. And this is my first YYH fic. Thought I'd get to know some people besides the WHR fans. Enjoy!
Blind
Kari Yamishi
Kurama and Kari were in the Spirit World training room. Kari fought pretty well and Kurama knew she wasn't all human, but she hadn't used any powers. After a few hours of fighting, they were both tuckered out. Breathing hard, they both sat down to rest.
They got drinks of water and sat in a clear view of cold air. "Thanks Kurama." Kari said after 5 minutes.
"For what?" Kurama looked at her. She hesitated. "For training me." she stuttered. Kurama heard her and knew she was lying.
"No Really. why?" He sat up straight. She looked at the floor and hesitated again. "For.. For letting me see again." she looked up and straight ahead. "Huh?" Kurama didn't understand.
"When I see auras, I see figures.. Outlines.. I see your aura.. I see a person. I see clothes, hair, eyes, mouth. I see a person. I can see you. Not just that.. I see color. Emerald green eyes, fiery red hair. Kurama, I can see you as if I had never been blinded." She looked at him, smiling.
Kurama smiled too and then took on a more serious face. "Have you been able to see before?" he asked. She looked away. "Yeah." It was like she dreaded the question. "What happened?" He looked caring again. Kari looked at the rest of the room, which was pitch black for her.
"Koron happened. He happened." she sighed. "I didn't know about demons or anything of the sort till I fought him. I had been taking fighting lessons and when he attacked me for no reason, I acted on instinct and attacked him too. I tapped into an all new power that I never knew I had. After I banished Koron to the demon world, more powerful beings felt I would be a danger to all when I accidentally killed someone. The way I used the power was my eyes, apparently. They made me blind so I couldn't hurt anyone. But I could still see auras."
"I thought it was the end. Yet I made life work. I learned brail, got books and a new computer. Everything was fine. I hardly went to populated areas because there are too many people, too many auras to concentrate. I learn to make a living, but I wanted to see again. Colors and people. I had almost forgotten everything when you knocked on the door. When I opened it, I thought my sight had returned but when you introduced your friends, I noticed their auras and knew it wasn't true. I liked to look at you cause I could see you. I thought you might be able to get my sight back." She sighed. She looked at the floor again, though she probably couldn't see it. Shoes don't have life energy.
Kurama looked at her, then at the floor. That was it huh? That's why. Kurama didn't know what powers she had but he had the feeling Koenma did. They continued to talk instead of train.
A few hours later Kuwabara took Kari home. Much to his pleasure. Kurama went to see Koenma.
He found him behind a stack of papers, bringing them down, stamping them and sending them flying. He cleared his throat to get Koenma's attention. "Sir." Koenma looked up at him. "Hello Kurama, can I help you?" He set down the stamp.
"Sir.. About Kari.." "She not do well in training? I'm sure she'll catch on. Don't worry." "No sir.. She did quite well. But.." "Yes?" "She told me about how she beat Koron and how 'higher beings' stripped her of her sight. Koenma. I only know of you and your father who are 'higher beings' and could possibly order that." Koenma had his brow furrowed again.
"Kurama.. you have to understand. She was getting out of hand. She couldn't control herself.." "Sir." Koenma looked at him again. "Can I see her file? The records? I know you have them." Kurama stared at him with determination. "Alright then. Tsubame, please help him." Koenma called and a young woman came in and showed Kurama out.
Kari stood at her door trying to make Kuwabara leave. "No.. I'll be fine.. really.. I mean.. you touched everything in my house.. No really.. I can handle it.. No. Go home and rest.. Kuwabara.." he just wouldn't leave.. Another 10 minutes of saying no and he was really getting on her nerves. She sighed and when he asked again she yelled. "No Kuwabara! I can take care of myself! I'm only blind! Not stupid!" she roared. There was this singeing sound and he freaked and ran off. She sighed again and went inside.
She didn't have to yell like that. He probably would be afraid of her for a while. What was that noise she'd heard? Like something on fire.... Oh well. she'd think about it later.
Kurama sat in Koenma's great library, that usually was of no use to anyone on any subject except the obvious, looking for a file in a stack of them. "Ogre.. don't you know which one is which?" He looked up from his pile. "No.. sorry Kurama.. I don't work in this section." "By the way.. why did you come with me? Doesn't Koenma need you?" Kurama stood up and stretched. "Not really. Unless you count ordering me around and yelling." The big blue ogre sighed. "Ok." Kurama sat back down and continued to look.
He found the file about 10 minutes later. "Got it. Ogre you can go back to work now." Kurama didn't even look at him. Ogre groaned and walked off. "Kari Yamishi. Age 16. Birthday, Hair and eye color, blah blah blah." He skimmed down the pages. "Ah. Power: Elemental. Elemental? Ok. Story.: Kari Yamishi, normal everyday girl meets not everyday monster. In the battle unlocked her true power and banished her enemy to Demon world. When caught off guard by thugs a few days later, she accidentally set a few on fire. They died in the flames and to keep her from killing again she was blinded. She could only effect a person she could see. To the dislike of those on the Mortal Protection Council, or M.P.C., Yamishi could still see peoples auras and quite possibly still hurt them. Though none to date have been hurt since the date of her being blinded, the M.P.C. and S.W.O. are still watching her. (S.W.O. Spirit World Operatives)." He finished reading and even looked it over again.
"Set thugs on fire... Elemental.." He thought about it the whole way home.
Kari was in her kitchen the next morning, making breakfast. But because she couldn't see, she just had cereal. When she went to sit down, the door bell rang. Maybe it was Kurama. A light on her stove lit. Maybe it was Kuwabara again. The fire died out. She'd have to answer it to know.
She walked to the door but stood there. Someone powerful was behind that door. She hesitated to open it. "Kari. I heard you lived here and since I was in town.." Kari just about screamed as she was lifted from the ground and vanished in a big blaze of light that left scorch marks on the ground.
