Chapter 2
Startling Realizations
Hi everybody! You're lucky that I'm making two so close together. No, I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho...yet. Mwhahaha! Okay, sorry, I had to. Now on with Chapter 2!!!
Yoshimi woke up, staring at the wooden ceiling over her. She was in a soft bed with white sheets. She tried to remember how she had gotten there, but couldn't. Her head was still hurting.
Then it all came back to her. The guys in the woods, the red-head's strange interest in her amulet, and getting knocked out. Yoshimi jumped out of the bed, but her massive headache brought her crashing right back down again.
The noise of all the commotion brought footsteps into the room. It was the red-headed guy from the day before. He helped her onto the bed before saying, "I apologize for startling you, but I need to tell you something. My name is Shuichi, but you can call me Kurama. Your name is Yoshimi, correct?"
"Yeah," Yoshimi said, very surprised. "How did you know my name?"
"That has to do with what I will explain to you," said Kurama. "But first, would you like to have some food?"
Yoshimi had just realized how hungry she was. "Yeah, sure," she said getting out of bed and following Kurama into the kitchen. She was still wearing the clothes she had worn the day before. "Where are we?" Yoshimi asked, looking around the little cabin.
"Somewhere in the middle of the woods," said Kurama. "I'll explain everything later. What would you like for breakfast?"
"Um...waffles?" she said, still wondering about everything. "Where is the other guy? Hiei, I think his name was." Yoshimi sat down at the wooden table.
"He went back to where he lived," said Kurama, giving Yoshimi a plate with syrupy waffles. Yoshimi ate them quickly, since she hadn't eaten since lunch yesterday. After she had finished, Kurama took her into a small living area and they sat on the couch.
"I brought you here because of your amulet," Kurama started.
"What? This?" Yoshimi said, pulling out her amulet. "What is so special about it?"
"I'll get there," Kurama said, starting again. "A group of demons are after it."
"Demons?" Yoshimi said questioningly. "Do they even exist?"
"They do and they want the amulet because, under the right circumstances, it is impossible to lie in the presence of the amulet," Kurama continued. "It is called the Amulet of Truth."
"Okay," said Yoshimi, finding this tale nearly impossible to believe. "Do you have any idea why they want it?"
"I can only guess," said Kurama. "That they hope to get the location of other, more valuable, treasures."
"Okay," said Yoshimi. "So why didn't you just take it?"
"Because the amulet can only be removed by force if the protector is dead."
"Oh, so they want me dead?" Yoshimi asked. This was getting crazier by the minute.
"Yes, so that is why I have been ordered to protect you," Kurama said.
"Who ordered you?" said Yoshimi, somewhat angrily. "Why didn't I know until now?"
Kurama said, "I was ordered by Koenma, temporary king of the Spirit World, and you probably didn't know because your mother didn't want to tell you."
"You knew my mom?" Yoshimi asked, surprised.
"Koenma did, and I will be taking you to see him later today," Kurama said. "We told your grandparents that you were at a camp, so they wouldn't worry. Now what would you like to do?"
Yavanna walked through the crowded streets. She was wearing a coat and hat, despite the fact that it was hot, to hide her tail and ears. She grumbled about not wanting to be in the human world. It was always so very crowded. She wondered how she would convince the girl to come with her. The boss said that he needed her alive. As she climbed the stairs to the apartment, she overheard two old people talking.
"Isn't it nice that Yoshimi was able to go off to summer camp?" the old lady said.
"Yes, it is," said the old man. "But she will be gone for a few weeks. It will be lonely without her around."
Yavanna swore and turned around, running back down the steps. She knew the name of the girl with the amulet was Yoshimi, and that she lived in that apartment complex! How was she ever going to find her now? Yavanna knew that the boss would not tolerate failure, and that she was going to have to think of a way to find the girl. She decided to take a walk in the woods to clear her mind.
Okay, that's it for chapter two! Please send reviews!!!! Sorry the chapters are so short, but they need to break at certain places.
