Disclaimer: If I owned anyone from YYH, I'd be taking over the world.
Underlying Tragedy: I rated this R for a reason. I'm just not sure what that reason is yet. But I'll think of something (ideas anyone? I'm open to suggestions… Unless of course they're completely out there and disgusting, in which case I'll put it in immediately. Heh.)
Hiei: …Hn.
Kurama: Please review .
"Not bad, for an onna." A voice behind her said. Kay's eyes widened and she clutched her chest, "Dammit, Hiei! Don't do that!" She stood up and turned to face him. "How long have you been there?" 'I didn't see him come in ... Hmm.' "Long enough. You beat Karasu." "Yes, and I'll probably go to jail if I don't get out of here." She began to walk painfully towards the door. "Oh," she added as an afterthought, "Tell anyone what you saw and I'll be after you next. Just a warning." "Do you even know what you are?" Kay was at a loss for words, this was the most she had heard Hiei say, and to answer his question, "Not really, no. And I don't really care."
"You're a demon. You'll be coming with the others and myself after we locate the other one. Though I'm assuming it's your friend." "What are you talking about?" Kay turned around to face Hiei, "What about her?" Hiei glared, "You really are a baka. The two of you are radiating with demon energy. You probably felt comfortable around each other because you two were at the same level of power. Both of you will be coming with us." He said flatly. "…Hn, I think not." Kay shot back at him.
There was a noise at the doorway, Kay walked over to it, realizing she had frozen it over. "Oops." 'Okay, this is no different from before, wait –What's that?' She thought; she could feel something on the other side of the ice. Something relatively strong. She thought it best to not be directly in front of the door right then, and moved out of the way just in time to miss the blast of ice chunks. She looked at the door to see Youko. "Where's Melissa?" She asked him; after all, she was going to meet him after school, he should know. Kay stared up at him. Way up. 'Wow, what is he, like seven feet tall? Damn.' "The onna is down the hall." Stated Hiei. She looked at him with an "and why should I believe you?" face but walked out the door nonetheless, following Hiei and Youko. Kay was beginning to limp, but not bad, her side would heal, she just hoped it would heal faster.
"Let me guess," Kay said to Melissa as she sat down in the hallway, "You're a fire/cat demon?" She enjoyed her surprised look. She had of course known that if Melissa was going to be anything other than human, it would have to be a fire/cat demon – she just seemed like one. "Yeah, thought so." She leaned her head against a locker and breathed. Kay looked around to see that everyone was staring at her. "What!" She snapped, "I'm not that interesting." Youko turned to Hiei, "What have you told her?" "Not much," He answered, "She got the honor of finding out for herself in battle." Kay glared at them; how dare they talk about her like she isn't there! She formed an ice ball and chucked it at them. "I'm sitting right here, you know!" "Shut up, baka onna." Hiei snapped, "…What does that mean?" Hiei sweat dropped.
"What about Karasu? Since you two obviously know more about this that I do, we can't just leave him there." Kay asked suddenly. Youko looked at her, "Koenma will take care of it. We've been after Karasu for a while, I have a feeling teaching will be his eternal punishment," He added with a sly grin. Kay stared at Youko for a minute, noticing his slightly disheveled appearance, and then glanced over at Melissa, noticing her shirt was on backwards, and her hair had been messed up. Her eyes narrowed at Youko slightly, "Been having some fun?" She sneered, and froze his feet to the ground.
Kay chuckled at Youko's shocked look, "Yeah, I'm a fast learner." "Kay wait!" Melissa came up to her as she was sent a glare. "Don't try to justify it. He's not good enough." She said coldly at her friend. "Who are you to judge that?" Melissa asked, under the influence that her friend would seriously injure Youko, "Hn." Was her answer. Kay closed her eyes, as if debating something, then opened them and walked to Youko, sending him a death glare. "You hurt her, you die." She said simply, not bothering to unfreeze his feet.
"Now, who wants to explain all this to me?" Kay asked, "Anyone? Anyone?" Just then, Yusuke and Kuwabara ran into the building, "You're late." Hiei shot at them. "Shut it, shrimp!" Kuwabara yelled at him, "We got here as fast as we could when we felt their spirit energy." Yusuke looked at Kay, whose wound was still bleeding, "Whoa! Are you okay? What happened?" Kay stared at him, "Clamming accident." Noting the odd looks from Yusuke and Kuwabara, she added, "Clearly, you've never been clamming." She watched as Melissa crept over to Youko and attempted to unfreeze his feet, which, surprisingly enough was working; the ice was melting slowly. Kay glared at the two of them, "Lissa, anyone you're interested in should at least be able to protect themselves. It's not like I tried to kill him." "No you just gave me very painful ice burns." Youko seethed. Kay looked at Melissa, who was still focusing on melting the ice, achieving small flames from her palms. Kay shook her head, 'He would've been fine. I need to work on making stronger ice. Wow, look at me, I've had my powers for an hour and already I'm looking to become more deadly.'
Kuwabara just stared and muttered, "Darn clams..." Then something odd happened; Hiei stared laughing. Well, chuckling really. And more of an evil chuckle than anything. Kay stared at him, wide eyed; she had the feeling this didn't happen very often. "You're such a baka!" He laughed at Kuwabara. Kuwabara was about to say something back, but for once, thought better of it. Kay looked at him and grinned, "Careful Kuwabara, people might think you care." Kuwabara's eyes widened and he grabbed her hands, saying, "Of course I care – how could anyone not care about such a fair maiden?" Kay stared blankly at him, wondering if he confused her with someone else when she felt something on her hip, moving down and behind her. Her eyes widened when she realized it was Kuwabara's hand. In a flash, Kuwabara was a standing ice sculpture. "Holy…Wow." Kay managed to get out, "I… Didn't mean to do that. He'll melt eventually, right?" Yusuke started cracking up, "It's Kuwabara the ice sculpture!" "An improvement, if you ask me." Youko added as his feet were finally freed from the ice. He turned to kiss Melissa, receiving a death glare from Kay.
"Where's Shuiichi?" Hiei asked suddenly. "No doubt being chased by a hoard of crazed fan girls," Youko answered with a chuckle, stretching his legs. "You're avoiding my question." Kay said meanly, "Explain this. You obviously know." Yusuke stepped up, "Maybe we should take you to see Koenma, I'm sure he could explain this a lot better than any of us." "The toddler knows nothing." Hiei said, crossing his arms. 'Toddler? 'Eh?' Kay thought as she sent a confused look at Yusuke. "Ruler of the Reikai, the spirit world." 'Did I miss a memo or something?' "Right." Kay said slowly, looking over at Melissa, who seemed to be a little busy with Youko to notice anything else. She made a face, and shouted, "Get a room—No wait don't!" her eyes widened.
Yusuke pulled out something that looked like a Compaq causing Kay raised an eyebrow and stared at him. "What! Stupid Botan, I told her it looked like one of those makeup things…" He muttered, "It's a communicator, see?" He showed it to her; it had a video screen inside. 'Well that's interesting.' She thought "Nifty." Yusuke started talking to it, "Yo, Koenma. You there?" A new voice was heard on it, and Kay could only assume it was this "Koenma". "Yes, Yusuke, what is it? Have you found them?" "Yeah, and we're gonna need a portal, Kuwabara's an ice statue." "…. I want to speak with the one that did that." 'Oh, I feel so scared…' Kay thought sarcastically. "Oh shut it toddler," Hiei intervened, "He had it coming." Kay smirked at this, 'Aw,' She thought slightly affectionately, 'he stood up for me. How sweet.' She looked at Hiei and could've sworn his cheeks were tinted a light shade of pink. Being the paranoid person she was, Kay immediately jumped to the conclusion that made the most sense for that, '… Hiei's a telepath, isn't he?' She thought, feeling incredibly stupid.
'Well at least you're not as slow as the frozen baka over there, ' Kay heard in her head, finally realizing the voice belonged to Hiei. 'Well at least I know who it is now…' she thought, 'Hey wait a minute, that was you earlier! You were reading my mind, weren't you?' 'Hn.' Kay looked over and saw that he was smirking. 'Why? 'We knew you were a demon, we just weren't sure if you knew.' 'I don't appreciate such an invasion of privacy.' She snapped, 'Hn. Get used to it. ' 'Hiei, if you could do me one favor,' He glared slightly at her, 'please stay out of my head.' She asked and tried once again to put up a mind block.
Yusuke, Youko, and Melissa were now staring at the two of them, unaware of their little 'conversation'. To them it just looked as if they had been staring at each other. Kay realized that seemed a tad odd, and she opened her mouth to say something, then realized she had no idea how to explain that, so she closed it again. "Yeah, " Yusuke said, shaking off the silence, "anyway, the portal should be here any second…" Just then, the floor underneath them transformed into what looked to Kay to be a vortex of doom. This startled her, yes, but she was more concerned about Melissa, who seemed to squeak and grab onto Youko before they were sucked in.
