Kaida Okami – The Prophesy
Chapter Seven
Flashback Part I
:: With The YYH Gang – Kaida's Arrest and After::
Hiei, Kurama, Yusuke, and Kuwabara sat in Kaida's newly clad living room,
boredom evident. Vaguely, Hiei wondered what on earth said wolf-girl could have done
this time.
"I'm thinking of a number between one and ten." Yusuke announced suddenly.
"Good for you." Hiei said dryly.
"No! Guess the number, dummy." Yusuke retorted.
"Four." Hiei said, not missing a beat.
"Wait! That's not fair! You cheated" Yusuke accused the fire demon.
"Duh."
Yusuke pouted for a moment then,
"Hey, I have a joke."
Kurama groaned.
"No you don't." Hiei warned.
Yusuke ignored him.
"Ok, two blondes are standing across a river from each other,"
"here we go..." muttered Hiei.
"Anyway," Yusuke continued, shooting a dirty glare at Hiei. "One blonde said to
the other, 'how do I get on the other side?'"
Kuwabara started laughing.
"That's a good joke Urameshi." He said happily.
"I haven't told the punch line yet you moron." Yusuke said. "Anyway, and the
other blonde turns to her and says, 'you are on the other side!'"
You could hear the crickets chirping in the background.
"I've heard that one before." Said Hiei unimpressed.
"Oh yeah? Where exactly have you heard that joke before?!" Yusuke demanded.
"You, a dragon, and some other sword wielding maniac sitting outside a bar swapping
stories?!"
Botan chose that exact moment to pop into the room, wringing her hands worriedly.
"We have a reeealy big problem!" she cried.
Hiei rolled his eyes.
"What, the hair salon ran out of blue hair coloring?" he asked.
"No!! Kaida got sent to lord Enma and he's really mad and something about a
prophesy and Koenma cant stop him and they've arrested Kaida and she's gonna be
EXECUTED!!!" Botan cried.
Hiei's head shot up.
"They WHAT?!"
********
Walk to the left.
Turn.
Walk to the right.
Turn.
Walk to the left.

Walk to the right
Tur-
BAM! BAM! BAM!
"Koenma!!" roared a voice from outside of the office door.
Said baby now teen co-ruler winced.
The door flew off its hinges unceremoniously, showing three very P.O.'ed guys, a very
angry/worried Botan......and Kuwabaka.
"What do you think you're doing, letting them lock her up." Hissed Hiei. "What
has she done wrong."
Koenma cowered.
"Nothing. That's the problem."
Wrong answer.
Hiei grabbed Koenma by his little red cloak and slammed him against the wall, energy
flaring along with Yusuke's and Kurama's.
"Are you telling me that there having Kaida executed, when she's Done
NOTHING WRONG?!?!" He roared.
"My father - " Koenma started.
"Is an idiot!" Yusuke yelled.
"I know that!" Koenma yelled, equally angry. "If you would put me down I could
tell you what is going on!"
Hiei looked at him and, after a pause, dropped him.
"You have thirty seconds" He said coldly.
Koenma gulped.
"My father was informed this morning of a prophesy concerning Kaida." He
grimaced. "Its not pretty. He decided that the only way to keep everyone safe, all three
worlds and their inhabitants, he would have to...."
Hiei's eyes narrowed.
"have to what?"
"kill her. My father is going to kill Kaida." Koenma said bluntly.
Koenma raised a hand to ward off the punch that Hiei was aiming directly at his skull.
"But I have a plan to stop it." He said, slightly desperate. "I'll need you help
though."
Hiei's fist went back down to his side.
Koenma turned his head to Kurama.
"Yoko was a master lock pick, was he not?"
********
Kurama had briefly wondered about the wisdom of leaving an angry Hiei alone
but eventually decided that this was infinitely more important. He wrinkled his nose in
distaste at the condition of the cells around him. His sensitive nose picked up scents he
did not want to identify. Briefly, he conferred with Yoko.
-Your sure these are the right picks?- Kurama asked.
Yoko sighed mentally.
-Yes, Ningen, they are the right picks. Are you sure she'll manage to get out?- He
countered
-Positive.-
There was a pause, then,
-She better give these picks back. They're my favorites..- Yoko muttered.
"Kurama?"
Said man was so busy with his conversation he almost missed the wind light whisper.
"Kaida?" he asked, trying to locate her location.
-Why are we whispering?- Yoko hissed in his mind.
Of all times for the fox to develop a sense of humor....
"I'm over here." Kaida called out, voice normal again.
Kurama walked over to her.
"How are you doing?" he asked.
Kaida looked around her in amusement at the muck and filth that seemed to cover the
prison.
"Any better I couldn't stand it." She said wryly.
Kaida's grin began to fade under Kurama's serious stare.
"You have to get out of here." He told her. "There going to execute
you. Dawn tomorrow. Koenma could do nothing about it."
Kaida sighed.
"I know Kurama, I know! But how the devil am I supposed to get out without my
picks?! And where would I go anyway?"
"The first question I can answer, but the last is up to you." Kurama told her.
Kurama reached forward to shake hands with her, discreetly slipping several of Yoko's
prized lock picks into her hand.
He briefly wondered if she would recognize them as Yoko's before turning back to the
matter at hand.
Kurama turned to walk away, but could not resist one last comment.
"I know you feel betrayed. I thought you would like to know that Yusuke and
Hiei raised hell. I was the only one calm enough to be let back. The others where kicked
out."
He grinned at her confusion as she processed the information and walked away.
-I think Hiei gets the most credit for raising hell today.- Yoko commented.
Kurama silently agreed.
********
Hiei woke from his light sleep. Something in the next room had made a loud thump,
followed by quiet swearing.
Wait a minute.
He knew that voice.......
Hiei got up quietly and snuck out of the room. He slowly opened the door to Kaida's
room.
The window was open and a gentle breeze was tugging at the curtains, along with the hair
of the rooms other occupant.
Hiei leaned against the door frame.
Kaida sat on the floor clutching her foot, which she had stubbed on the corner of her bed.
She was cursing incoherently and hadn't noticed Hiei enter.
Said demon cleared his through.
Kaida looked up, mid curse.
She smiled weakly.
"Hi?" she said.
"What are you doing?" asked Hiei, stifling a yawn. "It's almost 2 in the morning."
Kaida pointed to a small bag filled with her daggers, poisons, herbs and other important
things.
"Im packing." She said simply
Hiei shook his head.
Kaida stood up and grabbed her bag heading towards the window.
"Where are you going to go?" he asked her.
Kaida looked over her shoulder.
"If I don't tell you, you wont feel guilty when you have to lie when Enma asks
you." She told him.
"Hn."
Kaida was half out of the window before she turned around again.
"Hey Hiei?"
"Hn?"
"Take care of my wolves till I get back?"
"What if you don't come back?"
Kaida smirked.
"I'll be back."
And she was gone.
Hiei sighed
Must she be so melodramatic?
and went back to his bed room, falling quickly asleep.
A/N this chapter and maybe the next one aren't _exactly_ flashbacks. Its just going back to Kaida's arrest and capture and stuff and looking at it through everyone else's point of view...ok so it's a flashback. Sue me. Review!! ^_^
