Thanks to all of my reviewers. This is the last chapter. I need someone to help me. How do you update your settings? I can't get mine to do anything.
Note for Elementfoxoffire- you said that Jynsu's human age would be about the same age as Kurama's, right? That would put her at 17. I tried to keep her in character, let me know if she isn't.
I don't own YYH. I do own Jauna/ Kara. Jynsu belongs to Elementfoxoffire.
-Explanations-
The doorbell rang early the next morning. Kurama answered, "Oh, hello, Jynsu! How are you? Come in." He entered the living room with a girl behind him. She looked about 17 years old. She was just a tad shorter than him, had long, wavy blonde hair and green eyes that were darker than Kurama's. She had on blue jeans and a black t- shirt.
"Kurama, who is this," asked Yusuke.
"This is Jynsu. We knew each other a long time ago."
"Did you love each other," asked Kuwabara.
"Yes." Kurama and Jynsu sat down next to each other on the couch. Jauna smiled, "Wow, Jynsu. You've changed." Jynsu looked over at her, 'Who is this?' She had no idea who this girl was, but it was obvious that she knew her, "Who are you?"
Kurama mentally slapped himself, "Of course, you don't recognize her. Jynsu, that's Kara."
Jynsu's eyes were open in surprise, "No way! She's dead! She died trying to escape the Makai prison." Kurama chuckled, "Yeah, and we're suppose to be dead, too, remember?" He, of course, was talking about himself, Kuronue and Jynsu herself (right?).
"So I suppose that he's Kuronue?" Jynsu started laughing.
No one else thought it was funny.
Jynsu, that is Kuronue," said Jauna. Jynsu stopped laughing, "No, there's no way in hell! You aren't Kara and he isn't Kuronue!"
"Yes we are."
"I want proof." Kurama picked up a conveniently close bottle of potion and tossed it to Daichi.
Jauna made her transformation and within seconds, Kara and Kuronue had replaced their human counterparts. Jynsu was speechless. Here were two people she had thought were dead for 17 years. She nodded, signaling that she believed their story, "It's so great to see you again, Kara." She walked up to her and embraced her in a hug.
"Kara and Jynsu were like sisters. Jynsu is slightly younger than me; about 2900 years old," said Kurama.
Jynsu sat back down on the couch by Kurama. Then Yusuke asked the question that most of the other people in the room were thinking, "What kind of demon are you?"
"Kitsune."
"I get that, but what kind?"
"Oh, you mean my element. Well, I am a fire kitsune." Kuwabara chimed in, "Can you show us?" Jynsu nodded. She stood up again and turned into Toshi. She had the same style of clothes that a kitsune would wear, but they were different colors. The undershirt was black, but the rest of the outfit was orange. Her eyes were a medium violet color. Her hair was orange (just a smidgen off from her clothes) with red streaks.
"What kind of weapons do you use," asked Yusuke.
(Let me know if I mess this up) "I can throw fireballs, use flame rosewhips and a little something I like to call the white fire storm technique." Kuwabara gawked, looking for Toshi to Hiei to Toshi.
"WHAT!" yelled Hiei.
"Looks like you have some competition, shorty."
"Hn, I don't think so."
"I would never purposely attack a friend unless we were training," said Toshi.
"Hn, I'm not your friend, onna."
"Hiei! That's not how you treat a guest. She's a really good friend," said Kurama.
"Hn." Hiei went back over to the window, sat down and fell asleep. Jynsu, Kara and Kuronue returned to their human forms.
Shiori came downstairs and noticed their guest, "Oh, and who might this be?" Jynsu looked over at Kurama. He nodded, signaling that it was safe to tell, "My name is Jynsu. I'm a friend of Kurama's."
"Are you another sister?"
"No. We were- more like- um- lovers."
"Oh." Shiori couldn't say much else. Kurama's past had been slowly unraveling before her eyes for the past few days. She just soaked it in until now. This was too much for her. She didn't cry. She didn't laugh or get angry. She was speechless. She had only recently found out that her son wasn't even human, but then there were old friends, family and lovers. What's next? His children? His parents? She knew everything about his human past, but there were three thousand years of a different life that she had barely taped into.
There was Shuichi; the young, talented, carefree, law-abiding ningen child.
Then there was Kurama; the selfish, ruthless, thieving kitsune from Makai.
They were one in the same. But there was one question left to ask, "Shu- Kurama?"
"Yes?"
"If you have no record, why do you go on missions?" Oh, no, he'd hoped she'd never ask. Well, it was now or never, "When you were in the hospital, I didn't want to loose you. Love was an emotion demons don't experience, but when you got sick, I realized I did. In order to save you, I stole something. That object belongs to Koenma and I used it to heal you. Upon the wish made, the Mirror of Darkness is supposed to kill the wisher, but Yusuke intervened. Our lives were spared. My punishment was to serve as a tantei." Shiori nodded. It was all falling into place, the disappearances, why he was always injured upon returning, why his friends called him Kurama, why he always had that unreadable expression, and why Jauna looked like him.
He was happy. That made Shiori happy. Shuichi and Kurama were one in the same and nothing could change that.
-End-
Sorry it was so short. I hit such a writers block that I decided to end it here.
Sorry I couldn't get more of Jynsu. I tried. Maybe I'll put her in the next story.
The polls are as follows- Senior Botany Class: 2; Return to the Makai: 4; Life After the Tantei: 1
Maybe I'll put Jynsu in RttM if that is the one that wins.
Review!
