Disclaimer: Oh, I know you probably love this already. And ish does not own Yu Yu Hakusho. Just my character; Akaki. And the fic is what I own.
Author's note: Hello, there. I'm going to wish you a Merry New Year. And sure why not good wishes to you all. Yes, I know that was corny.. And I could have done better. But it's the thought that counts.
Recap: Akaki finally got to Itsuki with the several glances at Kurama. She studied Kurama as she stood by Itsuki, and wondered if he was thinking about Hiei and herself. Wondering if he knew the truth. Then she finally looked up at Itsuki was staring at her with puzzlement.
"May I help you?" She asked him.
"Perhaps." He said.
And that's as far as their conversation had gotten. Neither one of them spoke to each other after those two small sentences were said.
Chapter 2: Kurama gets a few answers
As Yuusuke and Sensui fought, Kuwabara grew alot of anger out of watching them battle. But as he watched the battle, thoughts of other things began to flow to him. He didn't know what to except, he was trying to put his full attention on the fight. Soon, after a whole load of images flowed into his head, he collasped to the ground and Kurama turned to him to see what was wrong.
"Kuwabara. What's wrong? Are you alright?" Kurama imediately rushed to his side after seeing him collapse.
Kuwabara heard and felt Kurama's pressence, he then regained his senses and stood up putting his hand to his head and then removing his hand and pushed Kurama away. "I'm fine. I just need to be alone." After saying that he walked off.
Hiei glanced up and saw Kuwabara fall and watched Kurama go to him. He snickered slightly feeling a little jealousy. Then he shrugged it off and said "Oh yes, flee to the one in need of your wisdom." He practically said it aloud. And he watched Kuwabara walk off, and noticed that Kurama was looking not at him nor at Kuwabara, but at Akaki and Itsuki.
Itsuki glanced up to find that Kurama was looking at him, and studying him. He then noticed that Kuwabara was no longer there.
"Hey, where did that kid with the orange hair go?" He asked.
"Left." Akaki said. And then walked off herself. "Like me."
Itsuki watched her leave. And realized people were disappearing one by one. And then he just shrugged it off.
"What are you looking at?" He practically demanded. And watched Kurama as he slightly jumped being brought from his thoughts.
"Nothing." He turned back around and watched the fight. He questioned alot of things that went through his head.
Kuwabara was now alone or so he thought. But no matter what he was basically beating himself up for these images. "What the hell." He kept saying to no one. After an hour of yelling and punching nothing, Akaki finally appeared.
She came out clapping and then stopped once she saw Kuwabara turn around look at her baffled. 'Kuwabara."
"How long have you been there?" He asked once he turned around to face her.
"Quite awhile." She said. Once she got closer to him, she placed a hand on his shoulder, and certain images went to her. And then Kuwabara swung at her, but she had dodged it.
"How long." He sounded frustrated.
"An hour or so." She backed up.
"Why are you here?" He continously questioned her for a particular answer. He glared at her. And then stood up straight.
"Is that any of your buisiness?" She put her hand in her pants pockets.
"Yes." He growled. "We can do this the easy way or the hard way."
"Obviously you wont be getting anything out of me the easy way, so I assume it wont be the hard way either. But you can try all you want. The only way you'll get anything out of me is either by sympathy or if you find a way." She stated.
"Fine." He thought. And stepped towards her and threw a couple punches at her, he wasn't all that shocked when she had dodged them. "Are you going to keep your hands in your pockets?"
"Will see." She smirked. She wasn't full of herself. She knew what she was doing. She had her own personal weaknesses. But she found ways to keep people from knowing them.
As she spoke, Kuwabara was looking for ways to get things out of her. He then stepped up to her and went to grab her arm and bring her to him, but he had missed. "Hold still, damnit."
"You gotta be faster than that." She laughed. And then jumped up, and landed on a torn down building, and then turned around to face him, and that's when she realized that he was slightly toying with her. So, she decided to let him get to her and see what happens. She sat down and let her feet hang over the edge, and took her hands out of her pockets and started leaning on one of her hands and had the other across her lap.
Kuwabara watched her slowly, and then began thinking up a strategy. "She's just sitting there. What is she mocking me or something? I need answer from her, and I need them now!" He thought, still slightly fighting with himself. And his anger had grown a couple of notches.
"Are you just going to stand there and talk to yourself, or are you going to do something?" She questioned.
He then faded and reappeared behind her and went drop kick her in the side, but she had faded and reappeared infront of him after he went to kick her. She moved her hand up to him and pushed him. "Is that all you got?"
"Of course not." He managed to grab her wrist, and had a tight grip on it. And then he pulled her to him, wrapping his other arm around her. "This is too easy. Is she letting me get to her." He questioned himself.
Once she knew that his mind was on something else; she slipped through his arms and jumped off the building. Once she landed, she began to walk off. "He's not ready." She thought. But as she walked she bumped into Kurama.
"Hello there. I didn't scare you, did I?" Kurama asked her, as he caught her when they had bumped into each other.
"No, no. Not at all." She said. She stood up, and looked at him. "So, why are you here?"
"I was just about to ask you the same question." He looked at her searching for a answer or two.
"I have my reasons. But why is it that you are here?" She said.
"As do I. And that is, looking for you." He stated, and walked her away from Kuwabara, so that he could clear his head.
"Why would you look for me? I have nothing for you." She said as she pushed herself away from him. And then paused to think about the situation that has occured. "On the other hand. I'm everything and more that a guy wants and needs." She smirked.
Kurama looked puzzeled, and stepped towards her, shrugged off a certain feeling he had felt. "Yes, that could be. But also, you could be the greatest enemy of all. Considering people; demons and humans and all will fear you."
"Aint that the truth." Was her last words before she walked away. Leaving him speechless. But he had found the answer to a particular question that had been bugging him since she showed up.
