Silverwing013: Oh my! I feel luved! Ten reviews…not much if you consider other stories…but this is a much BIG deal to me. Like before, I will say good day to my reviewers.
hyperaquafairy-Nice to cya luved that chappie! Yeah, who know Kuwabara could be evil, right? I went for a major twist of character there.
hiei-sister- I added more soon.–grins- glad to know you took time to review.
Katzztar: Glad to know u luv it. U find out Kuwabara's demon side's name in this chappie. Yes, his demon side is like Kurama's but not exactly like Kurama's if you notice some of their characteristics. More on that in later chappies of my story here. I know…I absolutely had to have him a cat demon! Explains his looks and his softness for cats. I liked ur review, as u might have noticed.
Silverwing013: Oh yes…this part. –cries out- I don't own YuYu Hakusho! -wahhhhh!- What? Oh, I must pull myself together! So this is the forth chappie to Until I Say. Um…r u guys still reading my mindless chatter? READ THE STORY!
Mikko: Wow, she didn't mention her nasty side at all this time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Yusuke!" They could hear Keiko cry out in the distance.
"Hn. That much was obvious."
"Ah. The Great Hiei Jaganshi," Kuwabara spoke sarcastically, taking a small mock bow. Or whoever the heck Kuwabara thought he was now.
"It was to my great amusement to watch, watch it all." 'Kuwabara' sneered down at Hiei.
"Watch what big oaf?"
"Grrr….I forget the big oaf comment….for now," 'Kuwabara' growled.
"Pure amusement. Noting better to watch. Bumbling over your feet like that, while Yukina had no clue," 'Kuwabara' laughed cruelly.
Hiei stopped. His eyes narrowed. "What are you talking about?"
"Don't play the fool Hiei, I play it much better. Considering I had you all fooled," 'Kuwabara' grinned.
"You are a fool, oaf."
'Kuwabara' rushed forward upon Hiei, one hand yanking on the front of Hiei's shirt and the other tightly holding the hand that clenched the sword.
"This 'fool', Hiei, has been the one who sent people to tell you about the Jagan. Of course, you headed over at once to get it. I tricked Shigure into giving you that Jagan for a price. Never to tell Yukina who you are. Your only family left. Now who is the 'fool'?" 'Kuwabara' laughed at Hiei's face.
"Who in the three worlds are you? The big oaf isn't smart enough to think that up, or figure anything out." Hiei growled at 'Kuwabara's' face, then suddenly winced in pain.
'Kuwabara' let go of Hiei and calmly walked away, holding up his hand to show the blood upon his claws. Kurama and Shizuru quickly looked back at Hiei to see his sword hand a bloody mess.
Kurama stepped forward, his hand pulling out his rose whip flawlessly as he took careful steps toward 'Kuwabara'.
'Kuwabara' turned to face Kurama and scoffed at him, "Aww. But how could I skip over the clever, skillful, grandest thief of all…Yoko Kurama?"
Kurama paused in his walk, determined not to let his past get in the way like Hiei had let it. "Whom are you and what do you want?"
"Just saying my name would be enough to paralyze even Yoko I think," 'Kuwabara' scorned. "And what do I want? This is fun, is it not?"
'Kuwabara' gestured toward the unmoving Yusuke laying on the ground and the bleeding Hiei glaring at him dangerously.
"Kuwabara would never think of this as fun," Kurama spoke calmly.
"I'll take him Kurama," Hiei snarled out.
Kurama held out a hand in front of Hiei, motioning him not to move.
"Kuwabara lives to fight," 'Kuwabara' replied Kurama's first statement. "I guess today is the day he finally beats the school's best punk. Didn't take much, did it?"
"My baby brother fights for honor," Shizuru spoke up finally.
"Do I look like your baby brother?" 'Kuwabara' said angrily.
"No. You look like the demon that killed our parents, had several weaker demons chasing after us because they wanted you dead, and every time my baby brother is hurt badly…whoever hurt him is killed or harmed for life. You look like Nekoyami."
Nekoyami. The notorious cat demon, known for causing havoc his whole life, evilly famous and it took only his first life to make other demons wary of him. Kurama stepped back, away from 'Kuwabara', or as it was now known as Nekoyami. Hiei glanced at the red head questionably. He had only seen Kurama look that shocked a few times in their time together.
Nekoyami grinned at Shizuru. "That's right. Which reminds me."
Nekoyami looked over at the group of girls watching from a distance. Or more specifically, he looked at the small ice maiden by the name of Yukina.
Hiei and Kurama put two and two together. "…and every time my baby brother is hurt badly…whoever hurt him is killed or harmed for life…" And the amount of sadness Kuwabara had felt from not receiving a yes….Hiei glanced at Kurama, Kurama nodded, and Hiei raced off toward Yukina. Shizuru followed to warn Keiko and Botan what was going on.
Hiei reached the group of girls in a matter of quick seconds. Turning toward Yukina he spoke, "Lets get you out of here."
Without further ado, Hiei picked up his only living family relative bridal style.
"Hiei!" Botan called out. "What are you doing, Hiei?"
Giving no answer, Hiei took off. Out of range of everyone else's ears, Yukina finally was able to speak after the shock of Hiei taking off with her. "Hiei?"
Hiei looked down at his sister. "Kuwabara is Nekoyami."
He bristled with the use of the name, the name of the person who planned on keeping Hiei away from his own sister. "Nekoyami? How?"
He didn't answer his sister but continued to carry her as far away as possible. Away from the big oaf and Nekoyami.
The small group watched Hiei carry Yukina off. "Shizuru, what's going on?" Botan asked as Shizuru got over toward them.
"Botan, do you know who Nekoyami is?" Shizuru said, glancing back at Kurama and Nekoyami, formerly known as her brother Kuwabara.
Botan gasped. "Are you kidding? He's one of the most notorious demons out there!"
"Then you understand why we must leave as quickly as possible."
"You mean…that's Kuwabara's demon side!" Botan screamed.
"Then you know we must get out of here."
Botan hurriedly pulled out her communicator and shouted into it, "Koenma! Koenma!"
Koenma's face showed up on the other screen, looking up from his paperwork. "Yes Botan?"
"Koenma! Kuwabara! I mean….Nekoyami!"
"What!? Did you just say Nekoyami!?!" Koenma dropped his stamper in shock.
"Yes! Nekoyami! Kuwabara!" It seemed Botan couldn't get a full sentence out.
"What happened to Kuwabara?!"
"Kuwabara is Nekoyami!" Botan finally managed out the sentence.
Koenma starred at Botan. A moment passed and then he spoke, "Kuwabara? Are you sure Botan? Nekoyami wouldn't be so weak."
Botan pointed the screen at Yusuke's body. "Only one punch! You tell me that's not Nekoyami!"
"Botan, I want you to quickly gather up the Urameshi team and get out of there," Koenma said seriously.
"Hiei took off with Yukina seconds ago! Kurama is over by Nekoyami now! And Yusuke is down for the count!" Botan said panicking
"This, could be a problem," Koenma spoke. "I'll have to go and speak to my father on this one. See if I can get anyone to possibly capture or kill Nekoyami."
"Killing Nekoyami would kill my brother Koenma," Shizuru said. "And cat demons, as I understand, have nine lives."
"I know that!" Koenma snapped. "But sometimes killing it is much easier than capturing it. I really don't want to have to do that to Kuwabara. But my father…. This creates too many problems."
Koenma cut the connection off on Botan sadly.
Back to Kurama and Nekoyami as Kurama stepped toward the cat demon, Nekoyami. His purpose not only to stall him, but to hurt him for what he did to Kuronue.
Nekoyami noticed Kurama stepping into his path and grinned, "Another fight, how grand. I feel special."
Kurama's next statement was short and simple. "You killed Kuronue."
"Now that's harsh, even from Yoko," Nekoyami said in a sarcastically sad voice. "I didn't kill him, great black brimmed hat demon didn't have to go back for that pretty little pendent of his."
"That pendent meant everything to Kuronue. It would always be around his neck," Kurama spoke coldly. "You killed him."
Kurama's whip lashed out at Nekoyami threatenly but despite Kurama's best efforts, Nekoyami avoided each whip slash sparring a few inches.
Nekoyami sneered down at Kurama. "A cat's balance is amazing. Can I ask you something Yoko?"
Without waiting for an answer, Nekoyami continued avoiding each slash of the whip with ease. "Lets say you manage to kill me Yoko, how do you truly plan on making me pay? Cats, may I remind your brain, have nine lives."
Another slash of the whip comes close to Nekoyami, but with a surprising back flip from the tall cat demon, evades this slash also.
Nekoyami sighed, "I have business elsewhere. Hiei has kindly created the challenge of chasing his sister down. Good day Yoko."
Kurama stepped in front of the cat demon, pulling the plant from his pocket. "Not so fast Nekoyami," he threatened.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Silverwing013: What is Kurama planning? Don't you just feel sorry for those two? Nekoyami is the whole reason for their heartaches. Even though Hiei can very well tell his sister now…the stubborn fire demon refuses to tell her yet.
Mikko: fluff head is stubborn as me sometimes. And I congratulate her on starting on my story again, even though it's not up yet. –small pout- I'll sick out my fluff head on her. –very evil grin-
Silverwing013: I'll destroy u! I have the power of the delete button on ur story and existance! So shut it or I'll call u what Hiei calls u! -Mikko glares- ....Anywho, the story of Until I Say will continue onward!
