Chapter One: Running and Waiting
Makoto ran in and out of the crowded city. ((Oh man, why did today have to be a Sunday?)) The brown haired girl complained. ((I might as well take a detour to get there faster))
Running as fast as she could, she finally found the woods to Rei's grandfather's temple, or so she thought. ((I've never been this way… then again I've always taken the street way with Ami)) The brown haired girl sweat dropped.
-------
The red haired bishonen slowly walked to his destination, the outskirts of Genkai's temple. ((Hiei are you there?)) Kurama asked in his mind telepathically.
((Hn.)) He replied. Hiei, the jaganist or skilled swordsman, was also one of Yusuke's helpers like Kurama. They both worked together before they were sentenced to help the spirit detective which is one of the reasons why they are so close to each other.
A short and fast warrior suddenly appeared upfront of the red head with amazing speed. Kurama smiled and waved at the man. He was wearing a black long coat and black boots… well everything was black on him. His hair was spiked and was the same color as his clothing except for the white highlights and his white bandana covering his third eye, the Jagan.
The man's eyes were blood red and his usual glare was even icier than normal. "Hiei, tell me why you wanted to meet me here,"
The koorime looked up at his friend and answered. "Yukina is getting worse, I used my Jagan to inspect her, but nothing was wrong," He stated coldly.
"Hm, I see. Youko is going to inspect her, if anything goes wrong… you know what to do," Kurama said light-heartedly, knowing fully it wasn't the time to be sincere.
Hiei stared at the man in an 'are-you-serious' kind of look. Kurama chuckled and began to walk through the musty forest that leads to Genkai's temple. Hiei shortly followed.
-------
"Rei, just begin, Makoto will come in soon. We'll fill her in," Minako advised tiredly. "And plus I found this really hot guy I'm supposed to meet at the arcade soon… so,"
Rei and Ami sweat dropped and Usagi smiled. "Is he cuter that Andrew?" The blonde haired klutz asked. Minako grinned and nodded.
"Okay, okay, but you have to fill in Mako-chan, Minako," Rei sternly said as she walked over to the fire pit, sat down, and began to incant. "Moon, sea, star, earth… who is our new opponent from the negaverse,"
Usagi, Ami, and Minako looked into the fire as an image began to appear. Rei opened her eyes and cut off her concentration to look. The image began to clear up and the three girls scooted closer.
After a few more seconds of fogginess, Rei sighed and sadly said, "I'm sorry guys, but the image won't show, I'll try it again," The three girls sweat dropped and sighed.
"By the time we get an image my date would probably be gone…" Minako wined. ((And me too)) Minako added devilishly.
-------
Makoto brushed a few branches away from her way and stepped over roots as she continued her way. ((Wow, you can get lost in these woods… I should have gone the normal way…)) the thunder senshi thought.
"How much longer is this going to take?" Mako complained. ((Now I sound like Usagi)) She smiled. After about ten minutes of hitting her head with thick branches she spotted a temple. "Hey wait... ahh... that's not Rei's. Man, now I'm lost and really late," Makoto sighed. "I might as well ask directions," And with that in mind the thunder senshi raced off to the mysterious shrine.
-------
"How is she, Botan?" Kurama asked a blue haired woman in a pink. The woman known as Botan turned her head towards the red head and frowned her usual smiling lips, then shook her head.
"If this keeps up, she might…" She began tears forming slightly in her eyes.
Kazuma Kuwabara jumped up from his spot on the other side of the room and shouted, "She'll what, Botan, she'll what…" repeating the last words softly. Botan looked over towards the red head and frowned.
"She'll die," Yusuke cut in. Kuwabara turned his full attention to the spirit detective and clenched his hands. Yusuke, head slightly down, arms cross on his torso, and back partly leaning onto the wall behind him, frowned. "She'll die, damn it Kuwabara," He cursed.
Kuwabara let his hands loose and walked toward the floor bed Yukina was on. "Yukina… I'll find a cure, even if I die, for my undying love for you, my darling,"
Yukina slowly opened her eyes and looked at the man. "Kazuma…" Yukina managed to say. Yusuke, Botan, and Kurama snapped their attention to the couple automatically. "… I'm… sorry…"
Kuwabara's eyes started to water and he cupped his hands on her ice cold ones. "Please my darling, don't speak, you'll lose your energy," Yukina smiled and then closed her eyes.
Botan's tears fell down onto the bed where Yukina was resting and started to sob. "I don't… want to… be the one… who brings her… to-"
Yusuke walked over to Botan before she could finish and grabbed her kimono and pulled her up towards him. "She's not going anywhere," He yelled shaking the crying blue haired woman.
"Yusuke… I don't think that will help," Kurama stated as he walked towards the two, breaking them apart.
"Yeah, well," Yusuke yelled. Hiei looked up from where he stood, the entrance of the room, and walked over to Yukina.
"Kurama… do it," Hiei stated. Botan, Yusuke, and Kuwabara looked at Hiei and gave them a confused look.
"Alright,"
"What the hell are you two planning," Yusuke asked in his normal arrogant tone. Kurama nodded and told them.
"Youko is going to examine Yukina-"
"Youko!" Yusuke and Kuwabara yelled in unison.
"Let me finish. Youko is going to examine Yukina, and if anything goes wrong, Hiei will see to it,"
Kuwabara looked toward the short man in black and back at Kurama. "Hey, why does shorty get to kick Youko's ass,"
"Yeah," Yusuke agreed. Kurama smiled and bent down to the ice apparition's resting spot. Hiei walked up to Kurama and turned his attention to the two school boys.
"Because Kurama said so," He stated with a smirk. Yusuke and Kuwabara sweat dropped.
"And also," Kurama smiled. "I need you all to step outside, I believe Hiei will handle the rest,"
"But–" Kuwabara began, Botan instantly pinched his ear and drug him out.
"And if you need any help at all, I'll be outside," Yusuke grinned. "And Kurama," Yusuke said with a serious tone, "make sure she's alright,"
With that Yusuke exited the door, shutting it tight behind him.
-------
Makoto finally arrived and looked at the shrine before her. "Finally… that took me a long time... I hope they can tell me directions," She smiled.
Makoto took off her heels and searched for the main room for any sign for people, but found none. ((I hope Rei isn't that mad at me… I am pretty late. I mean it took me an hour to get through those woods… I don't know how long it will take me to actually arrive there))
As she traveled through the shrine Makoto heard some noises and decided to check it out. Slowly Makoto traveled to the room and began to open it.
-------
Usagi sighed. "Do you guys wanna do this tomorrow, Minako already left half an hour ago and I'm getting hungry. I'm also supposed to go over Mamo-chan's house,"
Ami smiled and Rei twitched. "Okay, okay," Rei shouted. Usagi smiled and quickly ran out of the shrine.
Ami got up from the floor and bowed. Rei also stood up and grabbed Ami's shirt to stop her from leaving. "A strong presence is blocking me from seeing that image, whoever it was or whatever it was must be very strong."
Ami nodded and left the priestess to herself. ((I believe we're going to have a hard time fighting this new enemy… this had never happened to me before))
