Trouble For Yusuke
Mirae and Shadow emerged from the forest. Nothing could have prepared them for the surprise of Hiei still standing there. Yusuke was still there as well. Kurama however, was nowhere to be seen. Obviously he had gone to get the mirror that Hyunto had ordered him to retrieve. Yusuke seemed to have a gloating look on his face and Hiei didn't look too happy. Probably just lost an argument of something. Yusuke turned to the girls on their approach. His smug look turning to one of minor concern.
"Everything Squared off?" he asked.
Mirae scowled at him. He put it as though what had happened was simple and trivial. True he had no idea what she and Shadow talked about in the forest, but still, he could at least-
"Yea, Everything is fine now." Shadow answered before this turned into a little skirmish. As fun as those were to watch, she felt they really didn't have the time. Maybe later.
"Right.. Well, I guess we should be heading to Genkai's. Kurama will meet us there." Yusuke replied with a bit of cheeriness. Perhaps trying to lighten the mood. He took a glance at the group. Mirae still seemed to be a bit, oh what word would describe it? Sour? No, Pissed? No She wasn't that mad. How would Keiko put it? Not in the mood for any kind of nonsense? Yeah, that was it. Hiei, well, he defiantly still hasn't forgiven him for forcing that information out of him. Death glare. Shadow, well, she seemed, Kinda cheerful.
'Ok mental note, don't try to cheer up this group of um, …. Oh forget it. Don't try to cheer up Hiei and his kidnapers.'
"Are you going to be staying in your own world all day our are you going to start moving with the rest of us back to Genkai's?"
"Huh?" Yusuke looked up. Shadow was still standing in front of him but the others has already started walking.
"Oh, yeah right." Right then he turned around and started walking. "Dang it. It's supposed to be stupid Kuwabara's job to zone out like that, not mine." He murmured. He heard a soft chuckle behind him.
He looks and Shadow seemed rather amused. She had heard him.
"Ok, you're not human."
"You're just now noticing that fly boy? Brilliant deduction." With another smirk she jumped ahead of him and landed right next to Mirae.
"So, do we just go to Genkai's as Yusuke suggested?" asked Mirae. Not taking in notice of Shadows impressive leap. She had seen it many times before.
"I'd say so. We will need to stay near them. But right now, the only thing we can do is wait. Might as well do it in a place where we might learn a thing or two about our new Team mates." Answered Shadow. Shadow spared Mirae a glance. Mirae's eyes seemed to be distant. Yet had a half smile. Something was troubling her, but it couldn't be anything too bad.
"Something on your mind?" Asked Shadow.
Mirae looked at her friend.
"Actually, I was thinking what the others might say if they saw me now. Big brave strong Mirae cowering at the thought of facing my enemy."
Shadow couldn't help but smile. Even though the thought was a fairly sad one, she had thought of a good answer.
She placed her hand on her friends shoulder.
"They'd probably understand fully, and do everything they could to help."
"Who's they?" Shadow And Mirae turned around. Hiei was now standing right behind him. He had heard every word.
"His hearing must be better than I thought." said Shadow.
"Must be." agreed Mirae.
"We can discuss how good my hearing is later. What I want to know, is if there will be more of you fools showing up out of nowhere."
"More of our friends.. Well, it's a possibility, but I don't think so. We don't have many means of contacting them at this point. For now anyway." Shadow answered.
"And if you don't mind, we will not be telling you anything more of our allies. If they show up, they show up." Mirae said flatly. Shadow smiled. She knew Mirae was just saying that to annoy Hiei.
Hiei however, didn't push the subject. He only stared at them for a moment, then dashed ahead leaving them with a "Hn." for an answer.
"Ok, that was just a little bit odd." said Shadow. She then when in to a bit of thought to try and decipher Hiei's latest 'Hn.'
"He probably just got sick of our company. Now, shall we get going? These stairs aren't going to walk them selves." said Yusuke as he stood at the base of the stairs. 'Though I sure wish she would put in an escalator.'
"Yeah."
"Right."
Once again the group found themselves trudging up the long flight of stairs. Naturally, such a walk gives one plenty of time to think. And a lot was going though Yusuke's mind right now.
'Ok, so these girls were looking for Kurama, but Find Hiei. Figure out he knows him, interrogate him, then make a pact with him. Then they find Kurama and they agree to help him. So basically, I have two girls on my team now, for the time being anyway. These two just Spell Fun. They're probably going to be giving orders, and nag, and yell-'
"Yusuke Urameshi!"
'Uh Oh.'
They had now reached the top of the stone stairs. And standing in front of the temple was a very upset women. A women named Keiko, who as we speak, was making her way up to Yusuke.
"Ah, Keiko." he said nervously.
Keiko stopped right in front of him. So she was right in his face.
"Yusuke Urameshi, I knew you would turn up if a waited here! You where supposed to meet me this afternoon!"
While she was speaking Yusuke was racking his brain trying to remember what it was he had forgotten. When she finished, it suddenly dawned on him what it was. And his faced showed it.
"Ah!, I Forgot!"
"You bet you did! And you can bet you'll make it up to me!"
"Listen Keiko, I can explain. You see Hiei-"
Keiko took a quick look around She easily found Hiei perched in a tree on a low tree branch. He had one of his rare smirks. He seemed to be enjoying the detective's current situation.
"Looks perfectly fine." She then grabbed Yusuke's ear an began pulling him in to the temple. "You and I are going to have a long talk. Alone." She finished. All the while quick ows coming from Yusuke as she pulled. As they went inside, Boton came out. Staring at the two as they passed.
"Well, looks like he's in trouble as usual." she said as they disappeared inside.
Shadow Fox 777: Yo! Well I hope you liked. Things will go from bad to worse, then good again. Like Mirae said the best is yet to come. As for me, I intend to enjoy a stress free weekend away from home, and delicate some time to my crafts. Fan fics drawing extra. I don't even want to think about school work. Well, I'll leave things in Mirae's hands from hear. Take it away Mirae!
