"What's wrong?" she glanced at him and swallowed.
"Nothing really, is just... my family, used to live out in the booines." ~~~~~
"Oh dear." was all Botan said, and they all hurried down the road. After a few
minutes of following Reana down the road they arrived at a dirt road. Reana knew
that this was her road, she could also smell demons and blood. They ran down the
road for only a short while before Reana stopped in front of one of the houses. The
house was rather large, and painted blue. They had only stopped for a moment when
they heard a scream and they saw something at the top of the hill next to the
house.
"There!" shouted Yusuke, pointing to were the thing had disappeared. They ran
quickly up the hill and into the forest. Reana ran faster than she meant to and over
took Yusuke. She had recognized that voice as her mothers, and even though she
wasn't really close to her family, she still would care if they died. She knew when
she jumped the small creek that the demons were probably hiding out in the old
shack on the back of the property. She realized that she was going too far ahead
and slowed her pace so the others could catch up. They stopped at the edge of
the clearing that the shack was in. They could all hear voices from inside the shack.
"They are definitely in there."said Kuwabara.
"How did you know that they would be here, Reana?" asked Yusuke quietly.
"Because," she replied "this is my old house, and I used to hide out in that shack."
Yusuke's eyes widened for a moment. He knew that she had lived in this town, but he
had no idea that this was her house. They all snapped to attention when they heard
a door slam and harsh laughter. They watched as a small boy came running out of
the house with his hands tied behind his back. Reana jerked forward, and Yusuke
and Kurama had to grab her arms to stop her. The demons were laughing as they
watched him fall, and they laughed harder when one of the demons jerked a rope
that was attached to the boy's hands.
"I can't believe that he tried to escape." laughed one of the demons.
"I know!" said another "Lets have some fun with him as punishment." The demon with
the rope yanked the boy to his knees. The demon only took two steps towards the
boy before Yusuke and crew couldn't take it. Reana was gone in an instant, with psy
blades ready, and in the instant the rope was cut and the demon was minus one arm.
He gasped in surprise, and there was a collective growl/gasp from the rest of the
demons as they watched and saw the rest of the crew appear. A few moments later
more demons began coming out of the shack, and the spirit detectives quickly found
out that there were more demons then they had thought. One by one, or more
accurately; bunch by bunch, the demons dropped. Eventually the demons got wise
and ran into the forest, unfortunately some were smart enough to head towards the
house. Reana turned and ran after the demons heading for the house.
"Yusuke watch my bro or I'll kill you!" she shouted over he shoulder. Yusuke looked
at the boy who had not moved since he hit the ground.
'This is her brother?' thought Yusuke, but he didn't have time to think for too long.
"C'mon punk." he said and grabbed the small boy, carrying him under his arm, killing
the demons as he went. The others were similarly wondering about her brother. She
had said that she didn't like her brother, and yet she had hurried to save him. Once
they cleared out the demons in the forest, they headed after Reana, to the house.
Meanwhile, Reana was catching up to the demons that had headed towards
the house. She nailed a few when she got close enough, but there were still some
that had gotten far ahead. She heard a scream again and she didn't bother to kill
the demons she was passing; she had to make it there faster. When she emerged
from the forest she stopped so fast that she left skid marks in the soft ground.
There was a demon standing with a knife to a girl's throat. She recognized the girl
as Kaida, her old best friend. A quick glance at her told Reana that she had been
kneeling on the ground. She twitched slightly when she caught the smell of blood.
But she couldn't see any blood on her neck, and when she glanced she saw two white
and red roses in her hand, and she was holding them so tightly that her hand was
now bleeding. Reana recognized them as roses that she had grown in her old garden.
"Don't come any closer, or I'll kill her!!" said the demon in a loud voice. He seemed
tough, but Reana could see him trembling. She stood strait and waited for a
moment, trying to find a way to kill him. She was so intent on her friend and the
demon, that she didn't see another one coming up behind her until the last moment.
She turned and sliced his throat, but in his dying moment he managed to sink his
knife deep into her knee. She cried out for a second and dropped to one knee.
"Reana!" came a cry from somewhere behind her, she wasn't sure where. The voice
distracted the demon for just one second, but it was just enough for her. Reana,
with unbelievable speed, drew her switch knife, and threw it into the demon's
throat. He dropped Kaida and his knife, and clutched his throat, and Hiei appeared a
second later, and then the demon had no head. Kaida collapsed to the floor. Reana
turned to see who had called out and saw her brother running out of the forest. She
tried to stand but couldn't. She could see demons coming out of the forest. She
couldn't take it. The pain was killing her, and they were about to get her brother.
Something in her eyes seemed to change. She dipped her hand in the blood coming
from her knee. She watched as her brother tripped and hit the ground; this was it.
The energy built up in the blood on her fingers. She yelled out loud as her energy
exploded from her finger tips, in a wave of energy, paper thin, but deadly. As it
neared the woods, the energy split into many fragments narrow enough to not
damage the trees, but still kill the demons. Kaida just stared, as she watched this. It was too much for her. First these creatures, then this girl who looked and
sounded just like her old friend, killed a mob of them, with what looked like wave of
energy. Just then Yusuke came running out of the forest, followed a moment later
by Kuwabara, then Kurama and Botan.
"Yusuke..." said Reana, breathing slightly heavily, "I told you to watch my brother."
"I know, but the little punk gave me the slip when I had to put him down to kill some
demons."
"I am still gonna hurt you.." she tried to walk, but found her legs to be
shaking."But just not now." she turned to look at Kaida, to whom her brother had
run and was standing next to. She looked at the roses that she was still holding. She
could smell their sharp smell. They were ones from her own garden.
'Kaida must have been tending to my garden.' thought Reana. 'But I thought that my
parents hated that garden. They always hated the fact that I wouldn't let them
strip the thorns off the stems when we brought them in. And that I wouldn't let
them pick the blossoms off when ever they wanted.' Reana suddenly felt her self
wanting to go to her garden.
"Hiei..." she said softly, and he looked at her. "Wipe all of these human's memories.
They cant know that I was here." Hiei nodded and he removed the headband from
his jagan.
"Reana..." said Kaida quietly, "Reana, is that you?" she sounded almost desperate. Reana wanted nothing more at that moment then to be able to tell her that she was
alive, but... she couldn't. Hiei glanced at her to see if she would change her mind.
"No." said Reana solemnly. "I died." she turned and looked at Hiei, and he nodded. He
wiped their memories, and they passed out on the ground. They also heard the sound
of others falling inside the house(her parents).
"Yusuke, can you guys clean up here? I have somewhere I want to visit before we
leave. I'll meet you guys bac k where we first came in." with that she teleported
away.
"Poor girl." was all Botan said. After they were all done with the clean- up, they all
headed back to the edge of town.
As they passed by the graveyard Kurama caught Reana's scent and stopped.
"Go ahead, I'll be right there." he said quickly and entered the graveyard. Yusuke
shrugged and kept walking. Kurama looked around when he got closer to Reana's
smell. He turned and saw her standing, looking at a grave. He could barely see from
where he was the name on the headstone. It read Reana Husan-Yi. Reana stared at
the grave, then she felt a single tear run down her face. It dropped off her cheek
and landed on the stone. She sniffed and her face turned to an angry frown, and she
punched the stone as hard as she could, but that didn't amount to much because she
could only stand on one leg, and she ended up falling to the ground. She braced
herself on the stone and stood up, and turned to walk away. But she couldn't make herself move, so she turned around again, and pulled out the rose she always
carried, and threw it onto the gave in front of the headstone. But when she turned
to walk away she saw someone. It was Kaida. She only stared for a moment, and
neither girl moved. Then Reana knew she had stayed to long and teleported away.
Kaida ran up to the stone and look around. Kurama decided that it would be best if
he left now and bowed his head from where he stood at her grave and left.
Kaida stood still for a moment, thinking that she was hallucinating. But she
had a faint feeling that what she had seen was real. She looked down and saw the
red rose lying at the base of the headstone. She picked up the rose and placed it
on the top of the grave stone. Then she placed her own roses at the base, said a
prayer and left. But she left knowing that Reana was alive, and well. Reana
reappeared at the sight were they were supposed to meet-up and Kurama arrived a
moment later. The spirit world portal appeared and they walked into it, Reana with
help from Kurama.
"Lets go home." said Yusuke. "I am beat."
