YSE: Sorry I haven't updated in eternity, but my computer's a piece of crap... The stupid thing wouldn't connect!!
Amara: Yeah, right. You just haven't bothered connecting 'cause you haven't had anything to put up!
YSE: Oh, shut up, Amara! Just do the disclaimer!
Amara: Which, by the way, you've been forgetting to say it in the previous chapters...
YSE: Shut up, Amara!! Sheesh! Just do the freakin' disclaimer!!!
Amara: Fine, fine... OK, Youko Sorceress Erisonii doesn't own Yu Yu Hakusho or Sailor Moon. *whispers to Michelle* And for a damn good reason, too. *Michelle chuckles*
YSE: HEEEEYYY!!!!!! That was mean!!!!
Amara: That was the point, baka...
YSE: Oh, hush up... *pouts* Anyway, enjoy the chapter!
The next day, at Mugen Gakuen, Amara & Lita were just waiting for their so-called top-of-the-line art teacher, Mr. Satori to come in. He finally came in fifteen minutes after class had begun, did the role call, then announced, "Class, we've got a new student. You may come in now, Mr. Minamino."
Amara sat up straight. 'Minamino?! Then that means…!!' she thought, watching the door. Sure enough, Kurama came walking in, then stood beside Mr. Satori & said, "I'm honored to be coming to the greatest school in the world. I only hope that I may live up to my expectations." Kurama then looked around the room, trying to find an empty seat.
Most of the boys didn't seem to think much of him at first, but when they tried to flirt with a girl, they ended up quitting their flirting & glaring at him instead. The reason for this was because all but one of the girls were too busy gawking at him to notice any other boy in the room. The only one was his new friend.
"Amara?!?!" Kurama exclaimed, staring at her in surprise. "You never told me you went to school here!!!"
Amara chuckled. "What, did you think I was too dumb to come here?" she asked teasingly.
Kurama then smiled & shook his head. "I've only known you for a day, but I feel like I've known you for years!" he said, walking up to her. Amara grinned & pulled out the chair next to her.
"Have a seat, pal," she said. Kurama nodded, then sat down next to her.
'Hey, Souichi, can you hear me?' Amara's voice asked inside Kurama's head. He looked at her in surprise, then she spoke again. 'I'll take that as a yes.' Kurama then decided to try it.
'Amara, how is this possible?'
'The children of the galaxy all have a telepathic link to one another, but the only real psychics are the children of Mars & Saturn.'
'How come I have it?'
'Because you're the prince of Mercury.'
'What?!'
'Listen, I know it sounds crazy, but you are!! I was good friends with Prince Mercury a million years ago, & I had a dream last night about him. You were him!! I saw his face!! Souichi, you have to believe me!!!'
'I guess I could try, but, Amara…?'
'Yes, Souichi?'
'My real name's Kurama.'
'I wondered about that… Wait!! I remember now!!! Youko Kurama lived at the same time as Prince Mercury… This'll sound complicated, but I'll give explaining it a try: The unborn infant that Youko possessed was your reincarnated, unborn body. So I guess you could say that you're three people: Youko Kurama, Prince Mercury, & Souichi Minamino.' With that last part said, their discussion was closed for the time being.
At the end of the day, Kurama & Amara were walking down the sidewalk & talking about this & that, having a great time, when suddenly, Hiei jumped down in front of them. "Kurama, we're having a meeting in a few minutes at Kuwabara's home. We should head there now," he said. Kurama nodded, but as he started walking off, Amara grabbed his hand.
"Kurama, may I come?" she asked him. "My friends & I swore to protect each other & any other children of the galaxy. As you know by now, you're the prince of Mercury, therefore we have to protect you. Your friends are also at risk. This Hermes that we faced was no walk in the park. I've seen some tough battles, but he's the toughest one yet. The only one who can truly defeat him is the other prince of Mercury, since he's one, too. Kurama, only you can defeat him. Nevertheless, the rest of us want to help."
At that moment, Lita leaped down beside Amara & said, "Amara, Hotaru's had another vision." Amara looked at the brunette & said, "From your tone of voice, I'd say something went wrong." Lita nodded. "Hotaru got electrocuted, then collapsed on the floor. Michelle & Amy are tending to her right now, but she's in a serious condition. Whatever she saw or almost saw, something or someone didn't want her to see it."
Amara's eyes widened. She turned to Kurama & said, "I guess I can't come now, even if you said I could. Hotaru's a great friend of mine, & I'm not about to let something like this go unattended. Firefly needs me. Goodbye, Kurama." Amara & Lita turned & leaped away. Kurama watched them leave, then turned to Hiei & said, "I can tell I'll have to do some explaining to you & the others." Hiei nodded. "You have no idea how much explaining you'll need to do."
Minutes later, Amara & Lita came running into Hotaru's room, Amara's eyes wide with worry. "Hotaru? Hotaru, are you alright?" she asked, panic etched in her voice. Michelle, who was sitting on a chair beside Hotaru's bed, looked up at them & smiled. "She'll be fine. She just needs to relax a bit," she answered. Michelle then stood up, nodded at Amy & Lita, and the three of them left the room so Amara could speak with Hotaru in private. Moments later, Hotaru's eyes fluttered open & she turned her head to face Amara. "A… Amara…?" she asked weakly. Amara smiled & took hold of her adopted daughter's hand before replying, "Yeah. After Lita came & got me, I rushed home as quick as I could. I almost got to go to a meeting between Kurama & his friends, but he might not've invited me to it anyway." The two girls chuckled.
Meanwhile, at Kuwabara's house, the four detectives were discussing what to do the next time they ran into Hermes. "Well, he seems to be intending to kill me, so maybe I should try taking him on alone," Kurama suggested. Yusuke quickly became furious. "There is no way in hell that you're taking that freak on alone!!" he yelled, slamming his fist down onto the coffee table. Suddenly, a glow filled the room, then Koenma, in his teenage form, appeared. "Sorry I'm late," he said, sitting down on the floor. "I heard about the attack by this Hermes and I decided to do some research. Turns out he once lived on the planet Mercury and was the brother of the true Prince Mercury. I was informed of what you were told by the former Sailor Mercury, and it turns out she's right. Kurama, you're the true heir to the throne of Mercury. You were once Prince Mercury yourself, the master of ice and knowledge. It seems your brother became envious since not only were you the heir to the throne room, but also because you and Princess Uranus fell in love and were engaged before the time of peace known as the Silver Millennium. It would appear that Prince Hermes was in love with her as well." Koenma then grinned in a silly way. "You were romantically involved with the heir to the throne of Uranus. Wooooo… Go, Kurama… Did you get a little naughty with her?" Kurama's face flushed a deep red.
"You know I would never do such a thing, Koenma!!" the redhead yelled, making Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Koenma laugh. Hiei merely chuckled from slight amusement at the usually calm man's outburst. Kurama, having stood up when he yelled, now sat back down. Hiei thought for a moment, then asked, "Was that girl with the sandy blonde hair the princess of Uranus?" Koenma looked at the fire demon and nodded. "Yes, she was," he replied. "That's why she and Kurama got along so well." Kurama picked up his cup of herbal tea and sipped it. 'Amara and I… were an item?' he thought in disbelief. 'It's logical, Kurama.' Kurama scowled in his mind. 'Hiei, could you please not read my mind right now? These thoughts are kind of personal to me.' Hiei frowned as he answered, 'You know I never bother butting out.' Kurama chuckled; that was definitely true. He leaned back and thought in somewhat of a whisper, 'Amara… Princess Uranus… my fiancé… She was pretty enough, that's for sure…' Hiei smirked as he silently listened in on the redhead's private thoughts.
