Disclaimer: Oh my god, I CAN-NOT believe how much I got into that last chapter!! Now back to business, just so you all know, this mysterious person who magically popped inside my head will not be revealed for a while. Well really not until the chapters get deadly-close to the 20's, but whatever. And yea, I am aware that all of this happened in the same day..but the truth is, the majority of the YYH-episodes happened in one day too. Eventhough it was through about a year and half-span. Okay sorry, I'm done rambling now..so let's get to the next part of this story, shall we??
Chapter 8: Out with a Bang..
Saturday, 12/11/04', 7:19 pm, ( Still on the Base, Bottom-Floor. ):
There's a place so dark you can't see the end
Skies cock back and shock that which can't defend..
"Kuwabara!!, you big dufus, answer me!!!", Yusuke' was now trying to shake his friend awake, grabbing onto his shoulders, and slapping him around to make him wake-up from his feeble unconscious-state.
"Detective, use some common sense..the idiot is obviously still alive, since he appears to be breathing..", Hiei had shot blandly from his post on the opposite side wall, and still couldn't get over the fact that he had been at least SOMEWHAT impressed by my sudden, last-minute attack.
"Hiei's right, and I admit, if that blast would have been a bit larger, he wouldn't have survived it.", Kurama said with a slight hint of amusement in his voice, and not to mention taking the time to look at me, situated in one spot in the middle of the area, still breathing heavilly from that good loss of energy that I donated.
"WAIT, SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT SHE COULD HAVE KILLED ME IF THAT THING WOULDA' BEEN ANY BIGGER??!!", Kuwabara cried in disbelief, and suddenly mustering-up the strength to retaliate from his hole that his body had made, carefully cut into the pavement.
"Yea, I'm thinking it would have..sorry about that Kuwabara, I just got a little over-excited..", I shrugged it off, but I still couldn't get over me containing this much power. And hell, if it was that big, I think that it might even have enough energy to rival against Yusuke's, which is right next to impossible.
"YOU CALL ALMOST KILLING ME GETTING A (LITTLE) OVER EXCITED?! WELL I-.." (then Yusuke' cuts-in, making the baka shut-up for all our sakes..)
"-And I thought that I was the only one with a spirit-gun, ha..guess' not", Yusuke' complimented, getting up', and walking over to where I was standing, cracking a half-smile.
"That was one hell of a shot Kammy', and that means alot coming from me..", Yusuke' said, still having that cute half-smile of his, which caused' an oh-so familiar hot sensation to rise up to my cheeks..god first Kurama makes me blush, now Yusuke', that had better mean damn-well that Hiei's the next one to do it..
"Yes, I too agree..that shot was almost about a direct hit. Which is something that I really only see Yusuke' here performing", yet another familiar voice called-up from the base-floor entrance, some good 12 feet away.
"Oh, the Prince of the Spirit-World is here to witness this too..how original", Hiei replied sourly to the arrival of the usual small, big brown-eyed baby stationed in back of a huge-desk back in Spirit-World, that constantly sports a passifier as an extra-acessory.
"Yea, no kidding..", Kuwabara said, then eventually passed-out inside his life-size rock formation that he created not that long before..then as usual, began to drool uncontrolably.
"Yes, Botan had informed me of your arrival Kammy', but unfortunatelly, I had sent for you about a fair month or so ago, so your timing in coming here was a bit off..", the teenage-style Koenma' let me know abruptly, and for some reason, this me-getting-sucked-into-my-tv thing and what he told me, still didn't make any sense.
"Okay so hold-up, she was SENT here??, I understand how, but why though?", Yusuke' asked him with a look of confusion and curiosity luming on his face..typical in my opinion.
"Indeed, her arrival transfer seemed a bit lacking in reason at first, so I believe for why you're here, is to give us all an explanation I suppose?", Kurama supported Yusuke's attempt in getting the reason out of Koenma', maybe this will truly explain everything that's happened so far, with the weird voice in my head included.
"Well the story's pretty long..but let's just put it this way, I sent for her here to help aid you four during your next string of up-coming missions..", Koenma' sighed heavilly as he predicted the nice amount of threats and curses that Yusuke' and Hiei would make on him..guess' ruling the Spirit-World, AND keeping these boys in check was alot harder than it looked..
"KOENMA, YOU SELFISH BASTARD!!, WE JUST GOT PAST THAT FUCKING DARK-TOURNAMENT!!, HOW IN THE HELL CAN YOU GIVE US ANOTHER MISSION NOW AFTER WE JUST GOT BACK??!!!!", Yusuke' yelled un-mercifully at the poor prince, clearly aggravated and pissed that he had just assigned them yet another mission so soon after they had returned from their previous victory from the Dark-Tournament, I'm guessing around less than half a month ago.
"Detective, I understand your frustration, but I ask you to shut-up and let the man talk. And as well care enough to explain exactly why he bothered to assign us these missions, and how this girl is associated with us..before I decide to seek vengance upon him myself..", Hiei gave Koenma' a major death- glare, while warningly, made his katana in eye-sight, causing Koenma' to dramatically drop 3 shades paler than what was natural.
"Umm, since the both of you put it that way, I'll try to fully explain..to answer your first questions, I assigned this mission because' it had been a direct request of my father to do so..( there's a dramatic pause', and imagine a 2-second glimpse of everyone's shocked-expression, along with my own. ) And in an additon to that, the first couple of these pre-missions will be located near the very heart of the Makai..I'll give you all further details on it later..", he then drew out yet another deep-breath, and continued..
"And to finally answer your question Hiei, these missions will almost soley depend on Kammy's help, since she will take the role of your fifth, and final member on our team in the new Tournament that just opened up hosted by the Makai, and Reikai-realms", Koenma' finished, relaxing a bit' after the death-toll on him from 2 of his detectives had been passed.
"But Koenma', why ME of all eligable people back over seas to be your fifth-member??, I don't understand..", I was beginning to have serious doubts that all of this had to be too good to be true. Does he really expect me to be just as worthy of a fighter as the rest of them? I mean if he thinks that I lucked-out because' of that stunt that I just pulled with Kuwabara..the only real reason I won, was props' up to that voice in the back of my head telling me to..
"Kammy', you may not reallize it now, but you have an incredible amount of energy surging within your veins..you've just been too naive and un-willing to notice it was there", Koenma' reassured me by smiling a little at me, and closing his eyes just to get into the moment..or kinda' as though he was trying to re-live something.
"-Sounds just like me..", I commented to go hand-in-hand with the situation, and smirked to myself about the me being too (naive)-part, true to it's tale..
"So you are worth more than I thought at first..hn, nothing special", Hiei remarked to this with his usual cold and bad-attitude..man, getting on this guy's good-side is gonna' take a hell of alot more than it usually does with just anyone from some other YYH-story I guess..
"Ever heard of keepin' stuff to yourself Hiei?..", Yusuke' replied just as quickly to Hiei's statement as I was about to, and was rewarded in his attempt, with Hiei looking at him with a heavy grimace from the other side of him.
"The onna' was never one to keep remarks to herself either..", Hiei answered bitterly, obviously seeming to remember that time just a few hours back when I said that he would have to get a (sex-change)..heh-heh, well at least I apologized, right??
"Sooo anyway! (tries to change the subject), tomorrow afternoon or even now if you prefer, I would like each of you to train Kammy' one-on-one. So she will get a good idea of her powers before she actually get's the chance to use them in the tournament..understand?", Koenma' asked them all, while also eyeing each of them seperately before deciding to head back towards the entrance..but he turned his head slightly before he left..
"And Hiei..make sure not to get too into the battle, so you won't end blowing something up like the last time you did with Bui in the Dark-Tournament..", Koenma said, allowing a slight smile to creep onto his face when he looked back at him, and dissapearing from eye-sight before he was a foot from the entrance..
End Chapter 8..
