Ok, people. The prologue was undeniably short. By my standards, it was
ungodly short. It was just supposed to be a brief explanation of what
happened to Kurama's family. This chapter begins right after the final
battle of the Dark Tournament. Kurama's still in the form of the Youko, so
ya know. Jin and Touya and the others who became friends with team Urimeshi
are with the team. This is just a little setting explanation. Now the
chapter begins.
Ghost and Shadow Ch. 2
"Honestly Urimeshi! Give me back my damn doughnut!!"
Jin was fighting Yusuke for a sprinkled doughnut. Since they both acted so much alike, it wasn't surprising. Kurama laughed to himself. Birds of a feather flock together. he thought.
They were in Team Urimeshi's locker room, and there wasn't enough space for Jin and Yusuke to have an all out brawl. So, the two of them were trying to put each other in a headlock and steal the doughnut for himself.
"Hn." said Hiei and Touya together.
"Why can't they act semi-normal for a change?" asked Keiko, looking disapprovingly at the soul brothers who were now rolling around on the floor strangling each other. Reminds me of my old best friend.thought Kurama sadly. His expression must have shown what he was thinking, because Shizuru asked him what was wrong.
"Huh?" Kurama snapped out of revere quickly. He smiled at Shizuru. "Nothing's wrong at all! Just thinking, that's all." Shizuru looked uncertain, but accepted his answer. What's wrong with me? I haven't though about Kris in centuries. Why am I thinking about her now? He shook his head, trying to clear his mind of those thoughts. "Hey, guys. I'm going for a walk. Be back later."
"Hey! Kurama! Can I come too? I wanna get another doughnut." Jin was laying on the floor looking up at Kurama. Yusuke had successfully kept the doughnut for himself and was shoving it down his throat.
"Yeah, I guess so."
"Thanks!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kurama and Jin were quietly walking down the corridor to the concession stand. They were almost there when Kurama stopped dead in his tracks.
"It can't be." ha said aloud.
"What can't be? Are they outa doughnuts?" Jin asked looking at Kurama curiously.
"I-it's nothing. My mind's just playing tricks on me," He must not have sounded very convincing, because Jin looked at him strangely. Luckily, he didn't question further. My mind must be playing tricks on me! That smell.I haven't smelled that scent in years. It can't be true, can it? Jin snapped him from his thoughts by whistling.
"Woo, that is some hot fox!"
"WHAT?!" asked Kurama, with a very shocked look. He talking about me?!
"Not you, that woman right over there by Koto." Jin replied, pointing to the side of the corridor. Kurama followed the point and gasped in surprise.
Leaning against the wall and speaking to the Tournament referee was another Youko. Her hair was very long and very black against her milky skin. She wore a white outfit similar to Kurama's, but was a skirt instead of pants. Around her waist was a sword held in place by a deep purple belt. They couldn't see much more of her, because she had gotten off the wall and was walking away from Koto.
"Let's follow her!" said Jin grabbing Kurama's wrist and dragging him after the mysterious fox. As they got closer to her, the smell that had caused Kurama's nostalgia got stronger and stronger. It.it can't really be her! It can't be.
"Hey Kurama," Jin said slyly. "I dare you to walk up behind her and pinch her butt!"
"What?! That's something you would do, not me!!" but if it's who I think it is, then she wouldn't mind the sick joke. His heart was arguing with his mind. All that went through his head was whether or not it was who he thought it was. He was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he didn't realize they were now right behind the fox.
"Now for the kill" said Jin in Kurama's mind. He reached out and pinched the woman on the butt before whisking the two of them into a corner.
The woman spun around to try and catch her attacker. Luckily (or unluckily, depending on how you look at it) Jin had pulled Kurama and himself into a corner in the wall. Jin was silent as she turned, but Kurama let out a gasp that Jin stifled with a hand.
The woman had brilliant red eyes, and those eyes had triggered a memory that Kurama had tried to suppress for centuries. There was no more doubt in Kurama's mind. The eyes, the scent of lilies of the valley. That is defiantly her.
"Hn." She said cautiously, carefully turning back around and proceeding back down the corridor. She was obviously not letting her guard down again.
Jin let out another low whistle. "Pretty lass, wasn't she, Kurama? Uh, Kurama? Anybody home?" Jin was waving his hand in front of Kurama's face, but wasn't getting a reaction. Kurama was staring in the direction of the mystery fox woman with a far away look in his eyes. Suddenly, he began to follow her. "Oy! What're ya doin'?" Jin cried/whispered, standing stunned for a moment and then running after the Youko.
Kurama was walking at a very fast pace, intent on getting closer to the woman. He knew Jin was following him, but he didn't care. Almost there, he thought. A little bit farther.and.There!!!
He had just gotten behind the woman. Carefully as to not draw her attention to him, he pinched her butt.
"HEY!" she screamed, swinging the sheathed sword around her in an arc. Obviously, it was meant to knock whoever assaulted her over. Kurama had leapt out of the way before she began her counter attack, but Jin was still there. The sword made contact with Jin and sent him flying into the wall. "Serves you right!" she shouted at him.
"That wasn't me! Well, the first time it was but the second time it was him." Jin pointed a weary finger at Kurama, who was standing behind the woman, shaking with laughter.
"Argh! I hate men and their sick jokes!" she said, swirling around in a flurry of white and black to face Kurama. She still was carrying her sword and moved it into an offensive position. Before her attack could carry through, she got a good look at the Youko. She dropped her sword in surprise, staring at the silver fox.
"K-Kurama?" she asked in a small, shaky voice.
"Kris," Kurama said simply, nodding at her.
Oooh, I am stopping there. Um, incase you didn't know, Lilies of the Valley are little white flowers that smell really pretty. They are also poisonous if you eat their roots (correct me if I'm wrong there.) The memory Kurama was thinking about before he pinched Kris shall be explained in a later chapter. I know, this is supposed to be dramatic, but I have a thing with comedic relief. This is a comedic relief chapter!! They're going to pop up often. Also, I can't update as often as I would like to, so don't hurt me! *cowers in fear under the computer desk* Last but not least: don't kill me for slamming Jin into a wall! Please! It was either him or Yusuke, and I seriously flipped a coin for who it was going to happen to!!
Read and Review. Things will get better. Trust me.
