I don't own YYH or any of its characters. I only own Mikai.
Second part man. I hope people really like this one and will stick around to read it man. Anyways, enjoy.
"To WHAT!?" Yusuke yelled.
"Spirit World sent me here to assonance you, Hiei, and Kurama," Mikai repeated.
It grew quiet between the two. Questions ran through both of their mind wondering what the others move would be, and their opinion of the matter.
"So?" Yusuke asked breaking the silence.
"So what?"
"Are you gonna do it?"
"What kill you?"
"Yeah," Yusuke said as he watched her eyes. If she did anything, her eyes would say so first.
"Never!" Mikai smiled. "Because I told King Yema I wouldn't do it, he relived me as my job as a Spirit Detective. Haha! His loss!" Mikai laughed.
"God Mikai you had me worried for a minute." Yusuke laughed.
"You thought I would really do it!?" Mikai yelled. "Yusuke!"
"Sorry!" Yusuke laughed. "I haven't been trusting many people lately."
"Hum." Mikai puffed up her cheeks. "I'm sorry that all of that crap happened to you. So you're going to the Makai?"
"Yeah." Yusuke sighed. "There's nothing really here for me. I've got this horrible urge to fight and yet there's nothing here to put a good fight with ya know?"
"Howlin' at the moon are you Yusuke?" Mikai said gently.
"Yeah," Yusuke said as he leaned back into his chair. "So what are you gonna do now that you're free of Spirit World?"
"Honestly?"
"Yeah."
"I wanna go to the Makai with you."
"WHAT!?" Yusuke fell back in his chair. "Why the hell would you wanna do that!?"
"When I was standing in front of King Yema, one of the three King's walked up and demanded to speak with him. I was asked to leave but the king told me to stay. It was Raizen."
"You saw him!?" Yusuke asked as he leaned forward towards Mikai.
"Yeah. He doesn't look anything like you. He gave off this weird kind of feeling to me though. Just the look in his eyes. He looked so…familiar," Mikai said as she spaced out.
"Mikai!" Yusuke yelled.
"Sorry." Mikai smiled as she stood up. "I'd better go okay? I've gotta find a place to live."
"Kurama told me that you were gonna live with him."
"No!" Mikai said defensively. "That's okay! I don't wanna bug him! But if ya see him, can you tell him that I'm in town?"
"Yeah sure if he doesn't find you first." Yusuke laughed as he stood up. "I'll see you around okay Mikai?"
"I'll see you when you leave for the Makai. Up at Genkai's place right?" Mikai asked with a smile.
"Yeah…," Yusuke said as he blinked. How did she know were to go? Yusuke hadn't told anyone anything yet. She hadn't even been in Japan for more then a few hours and yet she knew.
"See ya!" Mikai raised her arm, waved, and walked out of the small restaurant. Yusuke stood there, dumbfounded. There was something in the back of his mind telling him that something had happened to Mikai in those months that she was gone. Something bad.
Kurama was in his room, doing what he did best, homework. He was sitting there looking at a blank page with his pencil tapping on the brown desk he was sitting at. His mind was trying to focus on the paper in front of him, but it wouldn't. All his mind wanted to think about was Mikai. It had been six months, and by his calculations, Mikai should have been out of school by now. Where was she?
"Shuu-ani!" Shuuichi said as he walked into his older brother's room.
Kurama smiled; he had always loved it when his brother called him that. "Yes?" he asked as he placed his pencil down.
"There's someone here to see you." Shuuichi moved to the side as Yusuke walked into the room with a bit of a smile on his face.
"Hey there Kur-ah-Shuuichi," Yusuke corrected himself as he looked down at the kid.
"Hello Yusuke." Kurama smiled. "What is it?"
"I'm just stayin' here for a sec okay? I'm just here to tell you that Mikai's back in town okay?"
"What?" Kurama stood up, knocking the chair over behind him.
"Shuu-ani!" Shuuichi said urgently as he ran over to the chair. "Be careful!"
"Where is she?" Kurama asked mentally ignoring his little brother.
"Calm down Kurama! I have no idea where she is right now!" Yusuke said as he threw his arms up in defense. He didn't want to piss off Kurama. After their past mission and seeing what a pissed off Kurama could do, he never wanted to say anything wrong to him.
"You saw her?" Kurama asked urgently.
"Yeah I found her in the park." Yusuke blinked.
"Oh." Kurama looked away. Our promise. He thought.
Yusuke regretted saying that. He sighed and said, "Come on Kurama she was lookin' for you. Look it's pretty early, why don't you go out a look around a bit?"
"Yeah." Kurama perked up a bit. "I'll go out."
"Be careful Shuu-ani," Shuuichi warned.
Kurama smiled. "Thank you Yusuke."
"No prob." Yusuke smiled, but on the inside knew that soon he would be telling Kurama good-bye.
"Hiei!"
Hiei opened his eyes. He was up in a tree, which was his home for now. He sat forward a bit to see Mikai down below him with a small ball in her hand.
"Hey Hiei!" she said with a smile.
"What?" Hiei hissed.
"I've got a little something for you! Something special form the Makai!" She threw the small ball up into the tree with Hiei.
"Makai?" Hiei hissed as he looked into the small ball.
"Yeah! You're Welcome!" Mikai turned around and began to leave. Hiei watched her as he felt small raindrops fall down onto his head and soon became large drops.
Who could want me in the Makai? Hiei thought as he jumped out of his tree. He lifted the small ball, which Mikai had given him, and threw it against the tree breaking it.
Immediately a man showed up that Hiei could not recognize. His face was bound in bandages, concealing his identity. Hiei watched as the other man informed him of something about going to the Makai.
Kurama walked through the rain disappointed. He hadn't seen any sign of Mikai around at all. He did notice though, the beings following behind him. To say the least, Kurama was not in the mood to put up any kind of fight.
"Show yourselves!" Kurama growled as he turned around to see three people following him in heavy dress.
"We come here not for a fight but to deliver a message to you," one of the men said as he threw a small glowing ball to Kurama. Kurama caught it and watched as the men disappeared into the rain.
Kurama found a small brown box and sat down on it. He then tossed the ball against the wall in front of him.
A liquid seemed to form out of it, which formed a face that Kurama hadn't seen in many a year. A tall figure with traditional Makai clothing on, six ears sticking out of his head, and both eyes closed.
"Hello Kurama," the man said with a smile. "It's been a long time."
Kurama crawled back into bed that night with so much on his mind. Would he go to the Makai in order to see what Yomi wanted? Was Hiei going to ally himself with Mukuro? Yusuke was leaving soon, following his own path to the Makai. Would he also?
Kurama rolled over onto his back. He needed someone to talk to. He couldn't keep holding all of his secrets inside of himself even though he had been doing it for fifteen long years.
"Mikai," Kurama whispered into the darkness. "Where are you?"
That was who Kurama really wanted to talk too. He wanted to see her and hear her voice more then anything right now. Maybe talking to her, Kurama thought, would make everything better for him. After all, out of everyone, Mikai would know how he felt.
Kurama rolled over onto his side and covered himself with his blankets. How weird it was to Kurama that children hid under their covers whenever something sacred them in the dark of night. That was one thing that Kurama never did as a child. He knew that there was no such thing as the boogieman or anything. He had seen much worse things in the Makai back when he was Youko Kurama. That was another thing that his past life deprived him of.
Kurama closed his bright green eyes and let the darkness over come him, as he fell into a deep sleep.
Kurama was standing on a small apartment balcony looking out to the west, looking at the full moon, which was looking back at him. The cool summer air hit him and blow over him, slipping into the open sliding glass door behind him.
"Kurama," Mikai's voice said as a slightly older Mikai walked to Kurama's side. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Kurama responded with a smile.
Mikai stood next to Kurama with a gentle smile on her face. She rested her head on Kurama's shoulder and gave a deep sigh.
"I'm glad it's all over," Mikai said.
"Me too." Kurama said gently. "You'll be twenty in a week."
"I know." Mikai smiled with a small giggle. "And in January..." Mikai placed her hand over her stomach.
Kurama smiled and wrapped his arms around Mikai's stomach and rested his head on Mikai's shoulder.
"I can't wait."
"Me either." Mikai laced her finger with Kurama's. Kurama sigh with content as he felt the ring around his finger hit Mikai's.
Kurama woke up. The dream. It felt so real to him, maybe only because he wanted it to be real. Kurama looked up at the white ceiling as his heart began to ache. Was Mikai feeling like this right now? Was her heart aching for him like his was? Kurama could only hope so.
He rolled to his side once more, hoping to find sleep once more. But it didn't come for at least another hour. Within that hour many things crossed his mind, causing Kurama to come to the fact that he thought too much.
What if Mikai didn't want to see him? Would it be because he never wrote her during her time of leave? Did she love him like he loved her? Why would she go and see Yusuke first when the two had made a promise that when Mikai came back, she would come and see him first. Did she now hate him for never writing her? Kurama did write and did get a few responses but in the last four months of Mikai being gone, he never got an answer back.
As Kurama pondered these questions, his eyes grew heavier and heavier until he finally fell asleep, without any answers.
Mikai walked the streets alone as the rain hit her. She knew where she was going by the look on her face. She came to a small alleyway were she stopped to take a breath of cold air, and escape from the rain a bit.
I really hate sneaking around. Mikai thought.
A can in the alleyway topped over catching Mikai's attention, but not before two hands reached out form behind her, and pulled her kicking and fighting into the alleyway.
"Crap!" Mikai managed to yell before a hand covered her mouth.
"You're coming back where you belong. Back to the Makai," a voice said against her ear.
Mikai disappeared into the dark alley with the person as the rain fell heavier down onto the ground below. Not one sign of Mikai was left, no sign of her struggling was left, and the only people that had seen her were Yusuke and Hiei. So Mikai disappeared just as the rain had washed everything away.
R&R please!
