Chapter 8: Starvation
Youko and Kii met up with a very angry Sakia.
"Sakia-chan!" Kii looked very surprised at Sakia, and she backed up instinctively, and bumped into Youko.
"Are you okay?" asked Youko. "Where's Kat?"
Sakia responded angrily, "She's decided that we aren't her friends."
"WHAT?" answered Kii shocked.
"Why don't you ask her?"
"I would but where is she?" Kii asked back.
Sakia snorted. "I don't know. I don't care."
"Why don't we all get back, and maybe she will be there," suggested Youko.
"Good idea," Kii agreed.
"How?"
"By the way you came. I'm fine. I can handle it one more time."
"Are you sure about that?" questioned Sakia.
"No problem."
Sakia pulled out the chalk again and drew another circle. Kii and Youko stepped inside of it. Grabbed each others hands and were back into the Forbidden World. Kii shut her eyes again and began to concentrate on their destination. Before any more of their life got sucked out, they were gone.
They landed in the middle of a room with everyone there, and Kii stood for a moment. Then she stumbled forward, and collapsed only to be caught by Youko, who was standing next to her. She threw up blood all over the floor, and struggled to remain conscious.
"Oh my goodness, Kii, Sakia, what happened?" asked Sayo worried.
"Its okay, Sayo," Kii said, one eye more open then the other.
"It can't be look at you," answered Sayo. "By the way where's Kat?"
"Kat decided to ditch us," Sakia said stubbornly.
"Kat wouldn't do that," replied Tsunami weakly.
Kii, who was still supported by Youko, replied hotly, "Well she did."
"That's not true. Not when we're almost finished with what we started."
"Hey look. Kurama's in Youko form," Yusuke pointed out.
"That must have been one tough battle to make him transform," stated Hiei.
Youko shifted uncomfortably.
"So who'd you fight?" Kuwabara piped up.
"Some guy named Hachi," answered Sakia.
"By the way, thanks for fighting him for us," Kii told Youko.
"It was nothing," he answered.
"Why did you say that back there?" asked Sakia curiously. "I could have fought him."
Youko shifted uncomfortably again. "I wanted to test him."
"Oh, okay."
"So... How are we doing in that poison research?" Kii asked, breaking the awkward silence.
"Actually, quite well to tell you the truth."
"That's good. What have you found out?" Kii asked.
"I was able to find something that slows down the poison," she explained. "But it will be a while before I can cure them."
"Okay. Great job, Sayo," Kii said.
"Thank you," answered Sayo with a smile.
"Um... Kii, I'm worried about Kat," stated Tsunami.
"She'll be fine," Kii said, looking away.
"This really isn't like her. She can't be serious about leaving, and I know that she wouldn't like you to be mad at her. So, what happened?" asked Sayo.
"None of your business!" Kii and Sakia snapped in unison.
"Don't get mad at her too. She just wants to know," said Youko.
Kii and Sakia didn't answer.
Sayo looked at the two confused. "You two were mad at her, and she let you be?"
"She's mad at US. Not just the two of us. ALL of us!" Kii shouted.
"How did this happen?" Tsunami asked.
"Who knows," Sakia said, swinging to her normal state.
"Well, if I know Kat then when this whole thing blows over she'll come back," Sayo said.
"..." Kii and Sakia left their doubts to themselves.
"She will right?" The two stayed quiet. "If not then I'll have to force her to come back," explained Sayo.
"I'm going to my room," Kii said simply not wanting to talk about it anymore.
Sakia looked down. "I'm going to go get the first aid kit. Youko, Kii, I'll meet you both in Kii's room to treat your wounds," with that, Sakia was off.
Youko helped Kii to her room, and stayed in there to wait for Sakia.
Sayo stared helplessly at the almost empty room. "Did I miss something?"
"So, do you think Sayo can make Kat come back?" asked Youko.
"If she plays the pieces correctly, yes," Kii said, staring at her chessboard.
"What do you mean?"
"Its all about playing the right moves. Chess, I mean. Life is exactly like chess. And let's hope that Sayo has enough techniques, and with a bit of luck, Kat will be back," Kii said now staring at her blue walls.
"Ahh, I see," he answered.
Kii nodded, and Sakia interrupted their conversation by coming in with the first aid kit.
"Okay, who's first?" She asked.
Later
"Dinner!" Sakia called.
"I don't want any," Sayo said. "I'm not eating until Kat comes back."
"What?" Kii stared at her friend wide-eyed.
"You heard me. I'm not eating until Kat comes back."
Kii's eyes went back to normal size. "Whatever. Starve yourself. Kat will never know."
"Yes, she will. You'll tell her for me," stated Sayo.
"...It'll hurt her to much in my state," Kii said.
"That'll be perfect," answered Sayo. "Then she'll know how much pain she's putting us through."
Kii didn't say anything.
"I'm skipping," Kii said, and shoved her dinner away from herself. "I'll be outside training if anyone needs me."
"You shouldn't not in you're condition," said Tsunami.
"If Sayo can starve herself, then I'm free to train no matter what condition I'm in," Kii shot back.
Not having the strength to argue back Tsunami just replied back, "Okay, just don't over work yourself."
"Whatever," Kii replied and slammed the door.
"What has gotten into everyone today? They're all in a bad mood," observed Yusuke.
"Must be a PMS thing," Kuwabara said.
"Shut it, Kuwabaka," said Sakia.
Six hours later. 1:00 a.m.
Kii kneeled on one knee, panting.
"Damnit all!" Kii said slamming her fist into the ground. "This is stupid. Sayo's going to die for something that Kat's done! Damn it all!" She panted, and opened up a telepathic link to Kat
Quick change to Kat
The loud blood curling sound of a cry was heard sending any sleeping or unexpected critters scampering away from the noise.
Back
Leave me alone.
Damn it all. Because of you, Sayo's going to die! Kii said angrily.
What are you talking about? I didn't do anything.
She's not going to eat until you come back! Damn it all! Kii kept swearing, her anger radiating, increasing the pain on Kat's side.
Another scream was heard. Would you leave me alone? I can't talk like this. Kat answered in pain.
It's all your fault! All you damn fault! Kii let her go.
Well, that's a real shocker. It's always my fault, Kat snapped before the line was cut.
Kii opened the door to the house and slammed it shut, startling the sleeping inhabitants.
Back with Kat
The neko was huddled on the ground trying to get rid of the pain that she was feeling.
"Stupid fox," she muttered before loosing conscious.
And to the house we go again
Kii looked darkly at the sleepy people who came to see what the matter was.
"You contacted her didn't you?" questioned Sakia telling by the way Kii behaved and looked.
"She wants to leave Sayo to die, okay? Happy now, Sayo? You're going to die, and she's not going to come back." Kii slammed the door to her room.
"It can't be," cried Sayo. "I'm sure Kat's just mad that she isn't here. Yeah that's it."
"Well that was a shocker. And there seems to be a few more slammed doors than usual," Yusuke said cheerfully, trying to cheer everyone up.
"I don't think that was a good thing to say," replied Youko watching as both Sayo and Sakia walked to their room and also slammed their doors shut.
Yusuke scratched his head with a sweat drop. "I guess not."
"Well, if Kat won't listen to Kii then maybe she'll listen to me," stated Sayo to herself.
Kat? she asked hoping she did it.
I said leave me alone, Kii, was the answer
Hey, Kat. I'm sorry about earlier. Another voice filled Kat's head.
Two of you now? What's next is Tsunami going to join us killing me in the process? she asked not like where this is going; one was painful as it is now two people.
Huh? Two? Sayo! Kii exclaimed.
Yeah.
Would you two like to take this conversation else where and not in my HEAD? yelled Kat.
... What's going on? Aren't you busy starving yourself?
I wanted to talk to Kat myself, answered Sayo.
... That was mighty stupid. Don't you know how dangerous it is to randomly send out telepathic messages!
Especially to me. End this NOW. I'm not coming back and that's final.
... Fine. You can allow Sayo to die. And when she does, I'll hunt you down, Kat. I swear it! For both Sayo and Tsnami! Kii closed down the link.
Sayo, eat. I'm not going to come back. Kat said sadly. Not with what happened.
Shut up, goddamnit. Sayo swore.
What? Kat asked shocked.
I'm going to starve myself until you come back. No matter what you say. Sayo said.
Don't make me make you forget about me. I'm not going to come back. I can't. Not now, Kat answered quietly.
... Your mind tricks won't work on me anymore. I don't care if I die anymore. And knowing Kii, she will hunt you down.
I know she will, but knowing you, you're not going to let starvation kill you. Like I said before I'm not going to go back not now.
Friends can change under conditions. You have no idea what I'm capable of at this point.
You're right they can and you have changed, but deep down you're still the same Sayo that I had met a long time ago.
I will starve myself to death. And you know that. Kii knows that. Don't you think that's why she's getting so upset? She knew me long before you did.
Yes, I know. I also know that you can tell that I have changed and that I need to do this.
I expect to see you back in two weeks. Or I'll die. Too bad I can't die as quickly as a ningen, eh?
We'll see. I'll probably die before you from all of this stupid pain you all are causing me. So leave me alone until then and cut the line, answered Kat.
Yes. Sayo let down the link.
'Man, stupid pain, stupid Sayo,' thought Kat already knowing the answer before collapsing for the second time that day.
(Quick explanation on why she always feels the pain. Cause she is like a radar always able to pick up people trying to contact her. She can't stop them from coming. The distance from the person, the way that they feel, and all of that stuff weakens the connection thus causing the pain. She also can't cut the line only the one that sent it to you can, but she can cut the line if she is the one contacting someone, but it still hurts her. I hope that makes sense.)
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Kii: Disclaimer- We do not own Yu Yu Hakusho! We own Kii, Kat, Sayo, Sakia, and Tsunami
Kat: Yeappers that right. And we still didn't get any reviews.
Kii: shrug It doesn't really matter to me. I wish someone would flame though. I'm dying of boredom here.
Kat: Same here.
KiiKat: RR
