Dream/Flashback
It was raining, it was night time, and a girl was sitting on the ground, injured. She had short red hair and green eyes that could melt the coldest ice. A silver haired man, known as Youko, came up. He had with him two guys, Kuronue and Jeff (Jeff is just some guy). They seemed to be running from something, then she heard the yells of guards. Youko stopped when he saw the girl, she had wounds that were undoubtedly from a spear like those of the guards. He supposed she had tried to get in since she was laying on the inside wall of the front gate. He quickly picked her up, she was half his age it seemed, and ran off to catch up with his friends.
The scene changes to Youko caring for the girl and Jeff bandaging her wounds. She seemed fine and was actually just a little younger that Youko, more than 3/4 of his age, not the original 1/2 thought. She said that she had tried to get into that place because she wanted to become a master thief and that a treasure was in that place.
Scene change. Misha was by a lake. She saw a girl like her, but with claws, walking up to a silver haired guy. She was surprised when the girl was called Misha. The conversation that ensued was the same as what she herself had had before she lost her memory. The scene switched afterwards to when she left, and then to her in the castle. She saw it all up until the jewel on the pillow, then nothing. Minutes passed in a darkness when a shaded scene appeared.
Scene changes to after the bright light. Youko is sitting under a tree, crying it seems. The tree seems familiar as it is the tree she used as her sleeping area. Youko seems to be sad over the loss of yet another friend. He wasn't crying anymore. "Life is cruel. My two closest friends are gone." He now seemed mad. He resolved to go and find the jewel, maybe the hidden powers it is said to have would be of some use.
He is now at the place where Misha disappeared. When news came from the search party that Misha was gone Youko had despaired, but now he examined the spot. The dead bodies surrounded him and there were scorch marks on the ground where she had stood. The walls around were blown back and were bent in odd angles. He wished that one of the men had survived.
As if granting a wish one of the men, the B- demon, groaned. Youko helped him sit up and asked him what happened here. The good thing was that the man was half out of it and didn't know to whom he was speaking. He stuttered about the girl and the jewel she had in her claws. How she had dropped it and caught it then the bright light and then he went out. Youko hung his head and laid the dead guy down again. He quickly left the scene.
End
Misha woke up, but did not open her eyes. Her head hurt badly and she...and she heard something. She opened her eyes and sat up. The noise was coming from outside the room. Wait a minute, room? But I was in the forest, Kurama, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and some guy named Hiei was there. They said something about a demon and Hiei knocked me out....where am I?
The room was white with some red. The windows were open and fresh air was coming through. On the walls were medals and awards. There was a bookshelf with many books, some looked hard and some looked easy. Everything was so neat and tidy, she looked around the rest of the room and saw some flowers growing in pots where the sun could get to them and on the windowsill was a flower garden. She couldn't tell if this was a girls room or a boys room. She then turned her attention to the conversation outside the door.
"Kurama, what if she heard something?" It was the voice of that Hiei guy.
"She goes to my school Hiei, and she is very trustworthy in my opinion. Besides, what could she do with the information she heard besides make people think she is crazy?"
There was a 'hn' and then Yusuke's voice. "Come on Hiei! It'd be fun if she could help us. You know, deep down undercover stuff." There was a smile in his voice.
Hiei said, "If the demon was a GUY. Idiot."
Kurama's voice came again, "Well, we'll see what she heard when she wakes up and meanwhile You two should go ask Koenma what to do." The handle turned and the door was opened. She quickly laid down and pretended to sleep.
She was very believable, ever her breath came out as if she were sleeping. But Kurama's presence in the room made her feel comfortable and welcome. She was having a hard time making it believable. So hard in fact that she ended up sighing with defeat and opened her eyes. She sat up and saw Kurama tending his flowers.
"I'm glad your awake. You are very believable when you pretend to sleep. It almost fooled me. But you seem to be having trouble. So, Why were you in the forest?" He said turning around. Misha looked at him.
"I am drawn towards curious activities and behaviors. You walking off with Yusuke and Kuwabara drew my attention. Plain and Simple." Kurama seemed interested in this.
"You remind me of a friend I had, a long time ago. In fact, you look like her too." Kurama downcast his eyes. Misha got up quietly and put a hand on his shoulder to comfort him.
"What was she like?" She asked in a quiet voice. Kurama sat down and told her that he had a 'childhood' friend with red hair, blah blah blah, how she had left for only a day and was never seen again, I cut it down cause it is already known.
Misha smiled but it wasn't noticed. "Sounds like she was a very close friend of yours. I'm sorry, Kurama."
Kurama seemed to take comfort in this. "You even sound like her." Misha hoped that it was possible that she was his friend. She wanted him to feel better. She gave him a slight, comforting friend hug.
She silently winced as the jewel in her arm began to glow and warm up. Thank goodness she had long sleeves. She pulled her arms away and grabbed her wrist. Kurama looked at her, but she hid it well. "S-so I heard you were going to ask me something?" Kurama nodded.
"When we were in the forest. Did you hear our conversation?" Misha was going to say 'No' but she couldn't and instead said,
"Yes. I heard every word." She downcast her eyes and was still holding her wrist. "Kurama..." "ya?" She looked up at him, though her eyes showed no sadness or fear, "Are, Are you demon? What about Yusuke and Kuwabara, and the Hiei guy?" Kurama smiled.
"Don't tell them I told you, but yes. I am, so is Hiei, but Yusuke is not. He is a human, and the Spirit Detective. Kuwabara is a human too." She asked him what spirit detective was and such. Kurama explained as best he could and then she asked about Hiei.
"Who is he?" Kurama shook his head,
"Hiei. He is a strange fellow, and no one can figure him out. He has a sister named Yukina but you must never tell anyone that." She let go of her wrist though it still hurt. "Hiei can tell you more if he wants, and if your anything like my friend, you will probably find out more on your own." He smirked. She smiled at him and Kurama stood up from his seat and went to the window, "Here they come." She looked out the window too and saw Yusuke and gang heading for the house.
"Kurama, just one more tiny question."
"Yes?"
"Where are we?"
He smiled, "My room. Of course." Her jaw dropped six inches but she quickly closed it as the others entered.
"Hello guys."
"Hey Kurama." Yusuke seemed happy, Kuwabara seemed happier. Hiei was Hiei.
Kurama whispered to Misha, "He never smiles." Misha nodded.
"What did Koenma say?" They looked surprised that he said it, for if she hadn't heard then there would be questions.
Misha just smiled, "Well?" They then guessed that ya, she had heard. Or Kurama told her, so Yusuke began.
"He says that if you didn't hear, you can go, if you did hear, than you can't." He seemed unhappy, and un sad, normal.
Kuwabara began, "But! If you promise not to say ANYTHING to ANYBODY then you can help us. That is...if"
Hiei cut, "If you even can. You must be able to do something besides get in our way and you need to have somewhat the ability to sense spiritual stuff." Kurama looked as though someone had just knocked the air out of him. How was Misha supposed to be able to sense stuff? Unless...
If she truly is like my friend, it IS possible that she can sense stuff. Kurama looked at her and she looked at them all.
"Um...like what?" Hiei glared at her as if to say she was stupid. She glared back, he glared again as did she, this went on for a while.
Yusuke interrupted it. "How about a test?" Hiei and Misha blinked and stared at him. Simultaneous, everyone but Yusuke,
"A test?"
In The Forest ::
"Ok I'm going to hide somewhere and then let my aura come out. All you need to do is find me." Kurama said. Misha nodded. She was blind folded and ear plugged and then Yusuke and Kuwabara started yelling at each other while Hiei got the job of making sure she couldn't see. He wasn't enjoying himself. With all this noise going on Misha couldn't hear Kurama as he hid behind a tree to her left. About 20 seconds after Kurama hid, the boys shut up the ear plugs were taken out and the blind folds were off.
"Now. Find him." Hiei commanded. Misha looked around. It doesn't matter if I can sense HIM, I can feel his presence. She pointed to the exact spot where Kurama was. Yusuke and Kuwabara clapped when Kurama came out. Hiei wanted another try. He was it this time. The procedure was applied again and she soon had to find Hiei. She looked around. She was unable to sense anything. Wait. She could sense something, an angry and sad energy came at her from her right. She turned and she found it was a little up and over. Soon she walked forward and touched the tree Hiei was in. He jumped down and Kuwabara wanted to go next.
Repeat, Kuwabara had little aura compared to the other two so he was harder to find. She spent a little while looking around but finally was able to point in his direction. Yusuke, not wanting to be left out got his turn next, he was easier to find than Kuwabara but harder than Hiei and Kurama. It took her 30 seconds longer than it took her to find Hiei. They all clapped except Hiei.
"Happy now Hiei?" Kurama asked him. He just 'hn'ed and walked off.
Misha walked up to Kurama, "Did I do something wrong?" Kurama shook his head and looked at the sky.
"We should probably head home, it's getting late." Indeed, stars were starting to appear.
When Misha got home her mom threw her arms around her, "Where have you been? I was so worried!"
"It's ok mom, I was out with some friends." Her mom suddenly stopped her sniffling and stared at her daughter,
"Friends?"
"Yea, Kurama,"
"A boy!?"
"uh, yea...anyways there's Kurama,"
"You have a boyfriend?"
"Mom!"
"Yes dear?"
"Let me finish."
"Sorry dear. Please, continue."
"Thank You. So there's Kurama, Yusuke" Her mom seemed to jump at this, "Kuwabara," more weird mom reactions, "Oh and some guy name Hiei that I met. He's friends with Kurama so we hung out with him too." "Wow honey, this is great. But, don't you have any friends that are girls?" She shook her head. Her mom looked disappointed but took it like an adult. "Ok honey. Are you hungry?"
"Not really, I'm just tired. See ya tomorrow Mom."
