I don't own YYH or any of it's characters. I only own Mikai.
Okay here's the third chapter. Thanks to everyone who reviewed! It means a lot to me and helps me write faster. Oh and this will contain spoilers so watch out!
"So I'm leaving," Yusuke said as he hopped over the railing at Genkai's place. It was time for him to leave a return to the Makai in order to face the man that had taken over his body during the fight with Sensui.
"Don't feel special Urameshi," Hiei said as he stepped out of the darkness. "I also got an invitation to the Makai so I'll be seeing you soon."
"I look forward to it," Yusuke said with his sarcastic smirk.
"I too will be going," Kurama said as he stepped out of the darkness on Yusuke's opposite side.
"Great so we'll all have a family reunion there." Yusuke smiled. Yusuke then looked around Genkai's temple, his eyes failing to see what he wanted to see.
"Hey have any of you seen Mikai? She told me she'd be here," Yusuke asked.
"Mikai hasn't shown up at all," Genkai said with a sigh. "Is she here in Japan?"
"Yeah I saw her," Yusuke answered.
"Even I saw Mikai," Hiei hissed.
"I haven't," Kuwabara said feeling left out once more.
"When?" Kurama asked urgently as he stepped up.
"The day I talked to you," Hiei answered looking at Kurama. "The night it rained."
I was looking for her that night. Why is it everyone else saw her expect for me? Kurama thought.
"You didn't find her?" Yusuke asked.
"No." Kurama looked away. Kurama was hurt deeply. Was Mikai avoiding him? Was everything okay? Was something wrong with Mikai that she didn't want Kurama to be involved with?
Through all of Kurama's thinking, he didn't notice until the last minute that Yusuke was now leaving for three years. He was going to the Makai where Kurama would soon see him.
"I'll see you guys around," Yusuke said with a smile on his face.
"Oh Yusuke." Botan sniffled.
"Take care! I'll see you in three years!" Yusuke jumped into the portal, which was glowing in front of him.
"YUSUKE!" Botan yelled.
Everyone watched as the portal then closed, taking Yusuke with it. Botan wiped her eyes as everyone soon walked away hoping for the best for Yusuke. They hoped that within those three years, Yusuke would still be alive in order to come back.
"Spirit Gun!!"
A blast of energy shot through a large mountain causing it to crumble into nothing. The blast slowly made its way down the plain until Yusuke could see it no more.
"Damn." Yusuke fell to his knees. He was so tried of training day in and day out. But this was what Yusuke wanted.
He had met the man who had taken over his body. Raizen. He claimed to be Yusuke's "father" in a long line sense. Yusuke didn't want to think of his as a father but right now Yusuke didn't care. He just wanted to kill him and get it done and over with.
"Urameshi-san."
Yusuke turned around to see one of Hokushin behind him.
"What do you want now?" Yusuke asked already irritated.
"Raizen-sama wishes to have a word with you. Come this way." Hokushin walked, and Yusuke followed.
Yusuke walked to Raizen's green entry doors. Hokushin backed down, and Yusuke opened the door.
"It's about time Yusuke," Raizen said with the same smirk Yusuke always smiled.
"What do you want? I'm not ready to kill you yet," Yusuke hissed.
Raizen closed his eyes. "It's your friend Yusuke. She's in trouble."
"She?" Yusuke raised an eyebrow. "Who?"
"Mikai is that her name? Yes she's very much in danger right now."
"What!?" Yusuke ran forward towards Raizen only to be shot back by Raizen lifting his finger. Yusuke smacked the wall behind him; he grunted and began to stand back up.
"I'm really starting to hate that attack." Yusuke groaned as he held his stomach. "Now what about Mikai?"
"She's in danger." Raizen stood up and walked over to a small opening in his little hut. "She was Senkai wasn't she?"
"Yeah so?"
"I met her once. During a demon raid I was involved with. She was so young, must have gotten separated from Youko Kurama's little gang of bandits. The hut she was in was on fire and yet there she stood with a fallen comrade. I felt so bad for her, seeing how she was so small and all. She hadn't even grown her second tail yet."
"Get to the point!" Yusuke yelled.
"For some reason I felt this need to help her. So I gave her some of my power. Poor child, I thought I had killed her. After that, I heard that she had found her way back to her bandit group."
Is that why Mikai's power seems to rival mine so much? Yusuke asked himself. Because our power generates from the same person?
Yusuke grew a bit irritated, wondering wither Mikai was really hurt or not bouncing around in head was starting to drive him crazy.
"Just answer me this Raizen, is Mikai hurt at all?"
"Honestly Yusuke, yes." Raizen smiled, knowing that Yusuke was now going to fume with anger.
"Where is she!?" Yusuke yelled stepping closer to Raizen once more.
"Somewhere here in the Makai," Raizen answered gently. "But where I do not know."
"Dammit!" Yusuke threw his fists down in anger.
Raizen turned back around and looked at his young heir. He could see the anger and pain behind his eyes. He could see how powerful a little emotion like friendship could power a person forward. Or was it another emotion also?
"Tell me Yusuke, how much do you like the young Mikai?" Raizen asked.
Yusuke sensed where Raizen was going and managed to smiled. "It's not like that. She's like my sister."
Raizen smiled. "Make sure to pass down my genes wisely."
"Don't worry," Yusuke hissed as he turned away. "I'll be sure to remember that the next time a girl hits on me."
Raizen laughed a bit. "You're like me in more ways then one."
"Hey don't give me another reason to hate myself okay?" Yusuke said as he walked out of the king's room, and back to the area where he was training before.
Hiei ran through the streets of the Ningenkai as fast as his legs could carry him. He was on a mission to get to a small wooded area in order to get to the Makai so he could meet up with Mukuro. He ran past women on the streets, his wind causing their dresses to fly up a bit.
May as well cause a bit of trouble while I'm still here. Hiei thought to himself.
He ran until he reached a hill, it was then that he stopped and looked up the grassy field. Was he really ready to go home? He would be leaving Yukina behind with the idiot, and possibly even battling Kurama in the Makai. As Hiei thought everything over, a thought came over him. There in the Makai, he would never have to fight for anyone ever again. He'd live for himself, and no one else. Was that everything that Hiei truly wanted?
"Questioning yourself Hiei?"
Hiei turned to his side to see Kurama walking over to him with his hands buried deep within his pockets.
"What do you want fox?" Hiei hissed.
"To simply wish you good bye."
"I'll see you in the Makai," Kurama said with a low tone.
"I'll be waiting." Hiei began to walk up the hill.
"Do me a favor."
"What?" Hiei hissed as he turned back around. "I'm not going to look for that Mikai girl again for you."
"That's not what I want." Kurama shook his head. "Watch yourself Hiei."
"I wouldn't worry about me if I were you." Hiei laughed a bit.
"Are you really leaving Yukina? I remember that you spent so much time looking for her, so are you going to let her go this easily?"
"You can't let go something you never had." Hiei growled as he walked up the hill, not saying another word to the kitsune.
"True Hiei," Kurama whispered as a wind blew pushing Hiei up the hill a bit. "Good luck."
Hiei walked up the hill, a bit angry now to know that Kurama had looked a bit into his thoughts. As he reached the top of the hill, he saw the portal was already open, and Yukina standing in front of it with something in her hands.
"Yukina.."., Hiei said breathlessly.
White roses flooded the room Kurama stood in with his Mother, new stepfather, and now legal stepbrother.
"I do," a dress in white Shiori said with a smile.
"I do," a man in a black tuxedo, and a nervous look on his face said.
"Shiori Minamino and Kazuyu Hatanaka, I now pronounce you husband and wife," the old preacher said as he bowed down. "You may kiss the bride."
As Shiori and Kazuyu kissed, the guests cheered. Kurama clapped along with his younger brother, and Kuwabara who was by Kurama's side the whole time. As the new couple separated, they walked down the aisle hand in hand smiling.
"Are you happy?" Shiroi asked her son at the small reception. "I mean with everything?"
"Perfectly," Kurama said with a gentle smile.
"That's good." Shiori sighed. "If only Mikai had come back in time. I would have really liked to have a bride's maid."
"I would...have liked to have seen it too," Kurama said forcing himself to smile even though inside it hurt.
"I'm so proud of you Shuuichi. You'll make an excellent older brother, and you'll even be out of High School soon." Shiroi gently petted Kurama's head. "You have no idea how much I love you."
Kurama gently smiled back. "I love you too Mother." Kurama watched as his Mother walked away from him, and Kuwabara walked over.
"You doin' okay Kurama?" he asked.
"Shuuichi." Kurama laughed slightly. "But yes I'm doing okay."
"I'm really gonna miss all of you guys when you're all in the Makai," Kuwabara said with a sigh.
"Well I'm hoping I'll be back before anyone else. It's Yusuke that's insistent on stay there for three years."
"Yeah I know," Kuwabara said in a sad tone. "Stupid Urameshi, he's just like Mikai, never contacting anyone once they're gone, always breakin' promises and stuff."
Kurama looked away. "They are alike aren't they?"
"Yeah. Sometimes they act like brother and sister. Both have family issues, both have untapped power within them."
"Tell me something Kuwabara," Kurama said as he turned around to the orange haired boy. "Did Yusuke tell you anything about Mikai and I's relationship?"
"Well he told me that you two were in love and all and that you made a promise with her that she would come and see you first when she got back from America. I mean I was there Shuuichi, when she gave you what was left of her life energy before you died. That kinda shows me how much you care for each other."
"Was everything that obvious?" Kurama asked.
"Yeah." Kuwabara sighed. "How are you though, on the subject of Mikai?"
"It's been about three months since Yusuke left for the Makai, and the last thing I ever heard about Mikai went with him. I haven't seen her, or gotten a letter or anything. I've got this feeling inside of me, telling me that she's no longer here in Japan."
"Well Shuuichi, Mikai's not the kind of person to just up and forget someone like that. Something must be up with her, good or bad."
Kurama looked up at Kuwabara and gave him a smile of comfort. "Thank you Kuwabara. I'll miss you."
"Me too." Kuwabara smiled back.
R&R please!
