Yes, here it is. Might be kinda short, I dunno, but yeah. Here it is. Sorry, with school and crap I don't get much time these days to myself. Oh, and some of the characters I use their Japanese names and some I use their English. It's just how I was "introduced" to the characters. Some of them I found out about BEFORE I saw the english episodes. :) Enjoy!
And I found some typos so I fixed them. Yes, I will be updating soon. Hopefully today (its April 29th) infact. I've been busy, so yeah... sorry. Well, fixed the typos.
More Things... A Strange Phonecall
-------------------------------------
Kurama walked into the house after Hiei. They were at Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna's place. 'Wonder why they live together,' Kurama wondered in his mind. 'Well, they do seem to be good friends, so yeah. Whatever. It's their lives, not mine.'
"Big," Botan said in awe, spinning around.
True, the house was two stories, and was quite spacious. All the rooms were very big.
Haruka led them to the living room, which was close to the kitchen and dining room.
"You were really good Haruka!" Serena happily cooed. "Really really really great!"
"Yes, and my, what a big place you have. I can see how you can afford it, winning like you do with the racing." Botan seemed to marvel at everything, as did Kurama in a secretive way.
"Yeah, and then Setsuna does her science and Michiru does her painting and music. It's all cool." She looked around. "Wait a second, where's Hotaru? Where's Rini?" She looked confused. "GIRLS! WHERE ARE YOU TWO?" She yelled.
"Oh Haruka, be easy on them." Michiru sat down across from Hiei and Kurama. "Hotaru is one of our friend's daughters. After a while and with some certain instances, she ended up living with us. And then Rini is Serena's... sister," she explained.
"I see." Yusuke looked around. "Man, this place is cool!"
Michiru giggled. "I'm glad you like it so."
Kurama looked at Yusuke, at Serena, at Haruka, at Michiru, and then at Hiei. "Where are your other friends, Michiru, Haruka? I remember you saying that they were coming here as well when we saw you after the race was over."
Haruka rolled her eyes. "Oh, they'll be here. Eventually. Amy, Lita, Mina, and Rei will be here. Eventually."
"Where's your little friend, Yusuke?" Michiru looked a little confused.
"oh, Keiko? She went with Setsuna, I think. That's all she told me she was doing. Didn't really say where they were going." He looked a little confused as well.
Kurama glanced around. 'Something feels... different.' He studied Haruka and Michiru. 'What are they hiding? They're hiding something, I can tell, but what?'
Suddenly, the phone rang.
"Oh, that's probably one of the girls," Michiru said, smiling. She went over and answered it. "Hello." pause. "Who?" pause "Kurama? Yes, he's here." pause "Yes, please wait." She held out the phone. "Kurama, there's a woman on the phone for you. She says it's important."
"Who is it Mich?" Haruka asked.
"It's a woman, she won't tell me her name but asked for Kurama, and just said that she's a friend." Michiru looked even more confused.
Kurama got up and took the phone from her. "Hello?"
"Kurama?" the woman on the line asked.
"Yes, that is me. Who is it?"
"People are watching your new friends from the shadows. Beware. Staying by the Princess too long may bring you trouble. You must be ready to fight for your friends and the girl you will end up loving. Watch your back," she told him.
"What?" Kurama couldn't figure out who the woman was. 'I know her voice. Why is she warning me like this though?' he wondered. "Who are you?" he asked.
"I'm the one in the shadows. I will watch, I will protect, but I may not be able to reveal myself until a later date. Remember, there is still hope. There is still hope. Our hope was born inside of her daughter, and it still lives. " Then, with no word of goodbye, the woman hung up.
Kurama looked at the phone, then put it back on its cradle.
"Who was that?" Hiei asked him.
"I'm not quite sure. I've heard her voice though, from somewhere. I remember it from somewhere." Kurama was still looking at the phone he had hung up.
"What did she say?" Yusuke asked.
"Come on, Kurama, tell us what she said." Botan looked anxious for some reason. Not confused, but anxious... maybe a little worried.
"She said that if I stay by the princess too long may bring me some trouble. That I must be ready to right for my friends. To watch my back. She told me she was the one in the shadows, when I asked her who she was. That she will watch and protect, but will not be able to reveal herself until sometime in the future. She told me to remember there was still hope, that someone's daugther was still alive and it still lives." He was really confused, and irritated in a way. "I don't understand it."
"I think it's a riddle."
Kurama and the others spun around.
"Oh! Hotaru! You're here. Where's Rini?"
Hotaru bowed. "My name's Hotaru, for you newcomers, although you probably already know that now." She straightened up. "She's coming, don't worry. Serena and the others are here, so she went to let them in. We saw them from my bedroom window."
Michiru nodded. "Good. Good."
"Kurama, let me talk to you for a second." Hiei suddenly said.
"You two can talk in the kitchen, if ya' want," Haruka told them, motioning to the kitchen door.
Kurama nodded and followed Hiei into the kitchen. "What is it?" he asked Hiei.
"The woman on the phone. Did she sound like...?"
"Suzumi? Yeah. For a second, when I heard her voice, the way she talked.... I thought it was her. But Suzumi's been dead for a long time, right Hiei? She died just before we met Yusuke because of that demon who thought he could attack us."
"Yes, otherwise our group would have been four and the four of us would have gone after the articles of darkness, or whatever they were called. Just......" Hiei looked deep in thought.
"What?" Kurama asked him when he didn't finish his sentece after a few minutes.
"Call me insaine, but I don't think Suzumi's dead."
"What?"
Hiei looked up at him. "I think somehow Suzumi survived, but faked her death so she could hide for a while. Just so she could make the Spirit World think she was dead."
Kurama didn't really know what to say.
A girl with bright-pink hair walked in. "Hey? Can we have the kitchen back now? Michiru wants to cook something."
They looked at her.
"Oh sorry, my name is Rini." She was cute. Very cute. And probably only in Junior High, Kurama guessed.
'Wait, when did I start liking younger girls?' He wondered. "Yeah, we're done," he told her. "And I'm Kurama. My friend is Hiei."
"Nice to meet you. And welcome to Japan, since I hear you haven't been here long." She gave him a sweet smile.
"Thank you," was all Kurama could say. A voice rang inside his head. A memory, of a woman saying, "You must be ready to fight for your friends and the girl you will end up loving."
And I found some typos so I fixed them. Yes, I will be updating soon. Hopefully today (its April 29th) infact. I've been busy, so yeah... sorry. Well, fixed the typos.
