YAY! I'm back... again! Okay, no stalling, let's cut straight to the chase!
Arisa walked home as Kurama ran off to meet with his employer. She sighed as she walked down the familiar streets, looking sadly at the destruction that man kind was inflicting on the nearby forests.
Her keys clattered as they swung around on the large silver key chain she had grasped in her hands. With a quiet clicking sound, the key was inserted into the lock, and she twisted the key, and shoved the door open.
"I'm home!" she called out, then she realized what she said, and covered her mouth with her hand.
"Stupid! They're not here! They're six feet under!!" she muttered, hitting her head with her other hand. She moaned as she walked into the dining room, tossing her coat onto the nearby chair. Noticing a small, thick envelope sitting on the table, Arisa walked over to it, and ripped it open, noticed the wax seal. The seal bore the mark of Koenma. She groaned as she read the letter.
"Arisa, I need to ask you of a favor. Please join Team Urameshi in the Seven Souls Tournament. We need someone of your power to help win the tournament. Reply as soon as possible... you haven't changed one bit..." she muttered angrily. She then put the letter in her pocket, and outstretched her right arm, her palm placed horizontally.
"Portal to the Spirit World. I, Guardian of Earth command thee to open!" she called out, and a flash of green light, a portal opened, and she walked through.
"KOENMA!! What is this about some crackpot idea that I'm going to fight in a tournament? Huh??" She yelled the moment she arrived at Koenma's office.
"Ah, Arisa, you're here! I'm glad to see you got the invitation. So, do you accept?"
"NO!! You know I don't like to fight! You're just trying to use me as another one of your pawns! Well, not me!" she yelled back as she stomped her foot in the ground.
"Please, Arisa. I'm asking you to do this so Team Urameshi will not crumble!!" Koenma said pointing out that the humans needed her very badly.
"Still, no! My job is JUST to protect the earth!" Arisa yelled back at him.
"But if Team Urameshi loses in the matches because of lack of members, then the Earth will be in grave danger. You are the guardian of earth, and that remains to be your title until your death comes upon you! So protect it, and the people of Team Urameshi." He replied, his voice rising slightly to match her volume.
"Fine, I'll do it, but only to protect the Earth," she replied sullenly, glaring at Koenma.
"Great! I want you to go and meet Team Urameshi, and get to know them! Go, and tomorrow, come and meet me back here and we'll leave for the tournament," Koenma explained, and waved his hand at her as she muttered the incantation, and walked through it, and emerged to see Team Urameshi staring at her.
"Hey ya guys! I'm the newest member of ya team! Hey... What the heck are you doing here, Kurama?" she asked suddenly, looking at him with surprise.
"Arisa?!? I should ask you the same question!!!" he stared at her with a look of major shock at her.
"Koenma suckered me into fighting in the tournament. I personally don't like fighting with frail beings such as humans," she replied, shrugging her shoulders.
"Hn. Someone who sees my point of view," Hiei stated plainly.
"You can fight??" Kurama asked, looking at her in surprise.
"Yes."
"What powers do you have??" he asked again, looking at her with shock yet again.
"I can control all aspects of nature; sorry I didn't tell you before" she apologized, looking at him sadly.
"It's no problem, we all keep our secrets," he replied, laughing nervously about his own fox demon heritage.
"Well, then, what's yours?" she teased.
"..." he looked at her somewhat guiltily at her.
"Whoa! You're the new member?? You can fight??" Yuske yelled out, surprise written all over his face.
"Yes and yes," she replied, looking at him somewhat angrily.
"Man, I never would've guessed it!" Kuwabarra yelled out.
"So, where is Koenma?" Kurama asked.
"He's filling out the final paperwork for the fights."
"Hn. If that's all, I'll be going," Hiei mumbled as he walked away.
"I'm gunna go and get some food with Urameshi," Kuwabarra yelled out as he and Yuske ran off to find some food.
"So, Kurama, what do you do?" she asked, seeing as she was left alone with him.
"I do some basic fighting, and that's basically it. I also have basic powers over earth." He replied. She smiled at him.
"Are you excited to be fighting in the tournament?" she asked, her voice yet again commanding his attention.
"I don't like fighting, and I try to avoid it if I can," he replied.
"I don't like fighting either, but Koenma told me it was my duty and all," she said, rubbing her head and blushing slightly.
"You are very odd. You seem unafraid of death, but you can die. You seem to hate humans, but you seem to be one, and you hate fighting, but you seem to want to fight," he replied, looking at her with a look of curiosity.
"Yeah, now that you mention it, I'm really odd... But I have a reason..."
"What?" he asked, looking at her innocent face.
Arisa sighed as she fell backwards into the grass.
"If I told you, you'd just be afraid, that's why I don't tell anyone..." she muttered sadly, her hair fanning out on the grass.
"Try me," Kurama replied.
"Nah..." she muttered, trailing off, laughing as rolled over slightly.
Soon, Kurama watched as the girl lying next to him drifted off to sleep. He smiled, as small part of him wishing he could tell her, but he felt as though she would be scared. As soon as Arisa drifted off into a deep slumber, Hiei walked over.
"Hm, what's with the long face Kurama? Are you worried about the girl, or about yourself?" he asked, looking at his good friend.
"Both, actually. I don't like fighting in these tournaments, although you seem to enjoy it."
"Hn. There is no enjoyment in these stupid tournaments, all they do is attract low grade demons for me to kill." Hiei muttered.
"I forgot, you actually like fighting," Kurama replied, smiling slightly as Hiei's cold face.
"Hn, promise me one thing, Kurama, let the girl fight first, I want to see what she can do," Hiei said, looking at the sleeping girl.
"Why, usually you would want to fight first?" he asked, joining in on Hiei's stare-fest at Arisa.
"I want to see how powerful she really is," he stated plainly.
"Deal."
That's it.... Again... okay... next time I write, it'll be a fight, so yeah... YAY!!
