Saga 7: Demons, ghosts, & goddesses (man, I'm getting tired of writing the
title)
Ch.13. Photo optics disclaimer: I do not own any Yu-Yu Hakusho characters except Michiru, Freya, Jugo, Lenos, Raruna, Shadow Dark, her sister, and Lulu (I'm getting sick of writing this part too X_X)
Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei, and Genkai all sat around the chabudai table, quietly discussing the day's events. Yusuke was griping about not getting any information from the woman, Hiei was silent (A/N: This shouldn't surprise anyone), Kuwabara dreamed of Yukina instead of paying attention, Kurama quietly sipped on some tea while Genkai poured more into silver lined porcelain cups. "DAMMIT, WHO THE HELL IS THIS CHICK?! WHY WON'T SHE TELL US HER NAME?!" Yusuke hollered, making Hiei roll his eyes and Genkai sigh irritably. "Yukina." Kuwabara murmured his eyes in a dreamy state. He was suddenly hit on the head by Yusuke who yelled "STOP THINKING ABOUT HER DUMB-ASS AND START THINKING WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO WITH THE BROAD!!"
Genkai sighed again, then stood up and headed towards the bathroom to talk to the girl. "HEY! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING, GRANNY?! YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, DON'T YOU?! C'MON FESS UP!!! YOU KNOW WHO SHE IS, DON'T YOU?!" he hollered, while holding Kuwabara in a headlock. Genkai stopped, then turned around slowly and glared at the two boys who were facing off and growled, "Shouldn't you be out looking for the Black Nahga or the talisman?" Kurama's face then lit up. "Oh! I just thought of something!" Everyone looked at him expectantly. "We should call Botan! She might be able to get the girl to give a little information..." The others exchanged glances, and then agreed. "Alright. Have the ferrywoman come, but I will try to see if I can try to talk to our guest." Genkai called as she continued to walk away.
As Kuwabara tried to tackle Yusuke, who was trying to reach Botan through the communicator, Hiei's ruby eyes swiveled to Kurama, who looked deep in thought. Hiei then took this opportunity to leave the table, but Kurama looked up at him. "Hiei. Where are you going?" The koorime was silent for a moment, then answered, "To get some answers from the old bag and that timid wench." Kurama was also silent, then replied "Hiei. Please don't be too harsh on the girl. She's been through a lot. It's obvious she has ties with the Black Nahga, but-" "Which is what I'm going to find out from her." Hiei growled and walked away. Kurama sighed, and put down his tea, leaving Yusuke and Kuwabara to bicker.
Michiru sat on the porch, enjoying the breeze blowing through her hair and listening to the quietness of the surrounding trees. As her hand went to smooth out the kimono, an approaching spirit caught her attention, but she didn't turn around. Instead, she swept some hair away from her face and said quietly "Why don't come and join me? I don't mind the company." The person behind her stepped forward and stood beside her. Out of the corner of her eye, Michiru could see it was the young black haired man from earlier. He said nothing, so she decided to remain quiet and simply enjoy the scenery.
Hiei looked down at the woman, observing her. She seemed to enjoy the woods, for she smiled and stretched slightly, then whistled. What he saw next startled him. The birds that had been chirping annoyingly in the trees flew down at her whistle and perched themselves on her fingers and arm. Hiei watched in amazement as the woman laughed and stroked every bird. "You wouldn't happen to have any birdseed with you, would you?" she looked up at him questioningly. Too awed to answer, Hiei merely shook his head. Her mouth turned into a frown for a moment, but she smiled again. "Well, thank you anyway." She turned away for a second, but then turned back and said "Here. You try." Before Hiei could protest, the girl had nudged a few birds onto his arm with some coaxing. The fire-ice demon looked at the woman in disgust, which only caused her to laugh. "Oh, don't worry so much! It's not like they'll bite!" She stood up and laughed again as a few more birds that were on her shoulders flocked Hiei. (A/N: I'm sure you can imagine this to be a funny picture. Hiei looking extremely annoyed with birds all over him! XD)
Michiru tried to hold back a chuckle as many of the birds hopped around on his body, chirping and fluttering, while Hiei looked as though he was going to grab every single one and chuck it outside. Unfortunately, Michiru couldn't help herself and began to giggle. "Heehee. It seems my friends have taken a liking to you" Hiei, being too pissed to speak, just shot her a nasty glare. Michiru looked sweetly at him, while covering her mouth with the palm of her hand to keep herself from laughing.
A sudden "OH MY GOD..." was heard, causing both to swivel around. In a split second, a flash went off, causing the birds to fly away. There stood the three other guys, Yusuke holding a flash camera and grinning. "Whaddya think Kuwabara? Jin & the others just might want to have a look-see at this baby." he laughed, holding up the camera. Kuwabara wore a big grin on his face, and Kurama was trying his best to keep from laughing, as well as Michiru. Hiei felt his face turn bright red. 'Damn ningen girl!!' he thought angrily to himself. 'How did that wench manage to do this to me?!' His hand went to his katana as the girl walked across the room to where the others were standing to admire the photo. Yusuke looked up and smirked before saying "Hey Hiei, check it out! You actually look pretty good!" This in turn, caused all the others to laugh. Kuwabara had his arms crossed over his chest laughing, Yusuke banged the wooden floor with tears in his eyes, and Michiru & Kurama both leaned on each other for support.
Hiei un-sheathed his katana as the fools continued to laugh, saying things like "Wait til the girls get a load of this!" and "Perfect blackmail material!". He finally took the opportunity to speak as everyone recovered and tried to regain their composure. "If any of you pass that picture around, I WILL NOT hesitate to kill anybody!" he growled, and pointed the blade in their direction. Michiru had a look of shock on her face, but Yusuke just clapped her shoulder and said "Haha! Good job kid! Because of you, we now have the perfect blackmail! Besides something else of course!" He laughed. Hiei felt his grip around the hilt tighten. 'Why are they bringing 'her' up?! Bastards!' Michiru chuckled a little and then sighed. She walked back towards Hiei and smiled, which made him glare that much more. The young woman clasped her hands behind her back shyly and replied "Hee. I'm sorry. I'll make sure that that photo is kept secret." Hiei's ruby eyes turned to the others who were still recovering from the oh-so- funny entertainment that he had brought them and quick as lightning, ran towards Yusuke in super speed and snatched the photo out of his hands. "HEY!" Yusuke shouted, turning to Hiei, who had a smirk of victory on his face, and then crumpled the picture. "Hey, Mr. No-sense-of-humor, I want my photo back!" Hiei smirked again and then replied "Hn, I don't think so." With that, he sped out of the room. Yusuke and the others exchanged disappointed glances, followed by more laughing.
With that scenario finished, all three boys sat across from the girl after much wiping of eyes and throat clearing. Michiru wrung her hands in nervousness. 'No more time. I HAVE to tell them...' she thought and looked up at them. But, before she could say anything, Yusuke spoke first. "So, are you gonna tell us your name?" The girl looked a little surprised, but then smiled and replied, "Yes." Yusuke and Kuwabara whooped and Kurama smiled. Michiru caught his eye before continuing on and blushed slightly. "But on one condition..." she spoke. The two boys stopped their celebration immediately and the redhead raised an eyebrow. "What's the condition?" he questioned. Michiru gripped the lap of her kimono tightly, then looked up. Her eyes were shining almost a lavender color rather than their usual teal. She then replied, "Promise me...that once you learn my name...please...leave Japan." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- Woot! Whadda long chapter! Haha! Hiei had birds all over him! I guess he's lucky he didn't get pooped on huh? XD Anyway, yeah I know, that chapter was really corny. Although, admit it; you thought it was funny. I have no idea where the photo idea came from, but I think I thought of it because I dropped my mom's photo memory card while I was typing. Ah, who knows? It's funny, that's what counts. Corny, but amusing. I haven't been able to write in a while, considering school, homework, that whole bit. Anywhos, I'll try and update as much as possible. Ja ne!
