I was sitting on the couch in idle chat with Shizuru and Botan. I was learning about the job of a ferry girl. It seemed like an interesting job.
"She What!" That sounded like Urameshi. "Botan you told her that you were the Grim Reaper! Koenma's going to kill you!"
Just after that an audible 'Poof' sounded though out the room. Then something fell onto my lap. If I could have jumped out of my skin I would have. It's not every day something falls out from the sky to land in you're lap.
"Who am I going to kill?" … Were my eyes betraying me? Did that cute little baby just fall out of no where? He did! Oh My! He's so Kawaii!
Once I come back to my senses and out of the cute stupor I saw that Botan is being yelled at by the adorable baby!
"Now we might as well tell her everything!" The baby sounded a little upset.
"Tell me what?" Now the baby's attention was on me.
"As Botan has told you she is the Grim Reaper, and I am Prince Koenma of the Spirit World. You have met my Spirit Detectives Yusuke, Kurama, Kuwabara, and Hiei."
At this point I was holding the baby cradled in my arms rocking him back and forth.
"I've heard of Spirit World…Isn't that where our souls go for judgment?"
"Bingo! And it's my job to take them there!" I think Botan likes her job a little too much.
"Ok, second question what do your Spirit Detectives do?" The whole group looked around at each other deciding on wither telling me or not.
"Come on guys. She already knows this much, and she's been so accepting. We should get it out in the open now and not have to worry about it." I like the way Kuwabara thinks.
"Alright. Emi, we kill demons. See there are three worlds: Human, Spirit, and Demon. We kill the evil demons that try to take over one or all of the three worlds. As well as, the demons that threaten human existence." Yusuke did a half decent job of describing their 'job'.
"So, you assassins?" That's what is sounded like to me.
"No!" Owies! Everyone in the room yelled that out I think. Now my ears are ringing!
"Owies. Owies. Owies. Owies." I muttered the word ever a few times while cradling the baby in one arm, and taking the hand of my other to rub my ears until the ringing stopped. When I looked back up at the group they were all giving me weird looks. "Heh, oops. Sorry you all just hurt my ears." Cue nervous chuckle.
"Right. Anyway, we're not assassins. We're no different than any super hero. Like Sailor Moon, Tenchi Muyo, or that Rika girl who planned to--."
"Rika! You mean the girl who had the idea to blow up her school? How is she a super hero?" Hmm, Keiko seemed upset. I wonder why?
"Because she tried to blow up her school!" Shouted Yusuke, but after that he and Keiko got into a fight.
Then Kurama took over, "What Yusuke was trying to say was that we help keep peace between the three worlds. We try to keep the humans safe from the demons."
"That makes sense! Thankies!" Keiko and Yusuke paused their fight to look at me again, as well as the rest of the room.
"Did I miss something?" Asked Yukina as she came back into the room after washing the tea cups.
"Nope, they were just finishing explaining their careers to me!"
"Emi, now that you know our secret how about we know yours?" Yusuke had a point, but now the whole room was staring at me like I'm crazy.
"I guess, but it can't leave this room! Understood!" I looked around the room and saw that they all agreed. I after finding out their secret (even though it was accidentally) I decided that I could tell them mine with no worries.
"Have you ever heard of the band Morp?" I looked around and get a few nods and one large pair of eyes staring at me expectedly. "I am the lead singer and bass guitar player of the band. My name is Sachiko."
I think it was too much for poor Keiko because she kind of passed out.
"Sachiko? I know that name from somewhere, but where?" The adorable baby dubbed Koenma was talking to himself again. He's done that several times during his visit. However once I started rocking him again he drifted into a light sleep.
"So, let me get this straight. You're an American pop artist who decided to hide away in Japan?" I didn't see who was talking but I think her name was Shizuru.
I was too concerned with the adorable bundle in my arms, and only nodded my head in reply.
"You are aware that you are cradling the Prince of Spirit World; aren't you?" By the look in everyone's eyes you could tell that they were loving the fact that I had Koenma asleep like a little baby.
"Yes, I am aware. Now if you will excuse me I'm going to go out for a walk. You can tell by looking at the poor thing that he is sleep deprived. And I'd appreciate to be alone so that he can sleep peacefully." A small smile made its way onto my lips as I looked around the room. Every one except the girl who fainted was looking at me, even the lady who owns the house.
"I would feel better if you would allow one of us to come along. That way you don't get lost within the temple grounds." I guess Kurama had a point.
"Alright, but only one!" I looked around the room and saw that Urameshi looked torn between me and Keiko. Then Kurama stepped up. "I'll come with you Sachiko. Yusuke if you would like, you can place Keiko in my room until she wakes up."
Then Kurama and I exited the temple; Koenma still held with in my arms. The first few minutes passed in a calm silence. After so long, I couldn't help but sing a lullaby that I remember from my child hood:
'I don't know
What words I can say
The wind has a way
To talk to me
Flowers sleep
A silent lullaby
I pray for reply
I'm ready
Quiet days calm me
Oh serenity
Someone
Please, tell me
Oh moon, what is it, they say?
Maybe I will know one day.'
As I finished my lullaby, I noted that Kurama was looking at me with…affection? No, I don't believe that was the look in his eyes, perhaps it was more of a lust. I turned my eyes back to the small one in my arms. I didn't want to see the look in his eyes any more.
"My what a lovely voice this little angel has." I stopped dead in my tracks. That was Not Kurama's voice. I know that I must have looked like I just saw a ghost, but I didn't care. I was too concerned for the safety in the one in my arms.
A deep throaty chuckle emitted from Kurama as he looked me up and down. If I could have hidden behind a tree or rock I would have. "Do you not recognize me little angel? Were you not told that Kurama has two souls with in his body? Two separate personalities?" I shook my head no as I started to back away from Kurama. "Well, little one I am Youko Kurama. Please, don't fear me. I will not harm you."
Even though he tried to comfort me I still backed away. "Sachiko, I am so sorry. Can you forgive me?" I could tell from his voice that in fact Kurama was back. I wasn't afraid of him only his counterpart.
"It's alright Kurama. I just wasn't expecting that." Just then Koenma shifted in his sleep so that he was cuddled around my breast. The look that Kurama was giving his was priceless. However, Koenma was asleep and unaware of his actions. Otherwise I wouldn't let him get away with being in his current position.
I slowly started walking again with Kurama coming up beside me. The rest of our walk passed in silence. I had the urge to sing another lullaby, but opted out of it. I didn't want to bring out Youko Kurama.
Once we came to the end of our path, I noticed that we were in the back of a beautiful and exotic garden.
I walked over to a stone bench and sat down so that a ray of sunshine could envelop Koenma and me. The breeze was light, and the sunshine made it all the more enjoyable. I looked around and saw that Kurama was weeding some of the smaller flower beds.
A short while later Yukina came out side to let us know that there was some food for us in the kitchen. Kurama and I went into the house, and he showed me to a room where I could lay Koenma down. However as soon as I put him down he started fidgeting. And in the hopes of him being well rested, I picked him back up and carried him to the dining room.
The darling had been asleep for a few hours now, and I felt that he needed a few more before he should have to be woken up. When I entered the living room I noticed that I had a bowl of soup on the small wooden table. I carefully sat down and ate my soup while everyone looked on in wonder of how the small prince could be so content and sleep so long.
"Do you think that Prince Koenma is alright?" I sat my spoon down and looked up at Botan then back down to Koenma.
"Yes, he will be perfectly fine. He's just exhausted. I will allow him to sleep until he wakes up. It's the least I can do for a prince."
Then went back to eating my soup. After I finished everyone said that they were going to go train out back. I had no intensions of following; I saw how Kuwabara and Urameshi fought. There was no doubt in my mind that they would wake Koenma.
I went to the hallway, and saw that the doors had Kanji written on each of them. I was tired and my arms were sore from holding Koenma for so long. I got the brilliant idea of taking a nap with him.
The first door I tried was decorated in shades of pink. I knew it was one of the girls rooms, all of these guys were to manly to have a pink room. I walked in and lay down on the bed with Koenma. It didn't take long for me to fall asleep.
I woke up some time later to find myself alone in the bed, and the room dark. Outside it looked to be pitch black. "I wonder how long I was out?"
I climbed out of bed and walked back down the hall way. When I came to the living room everyone was there.
"Did you have a good nap?" I turned my head to see Urameshi looking at me with a smirk on his lips.
"Yes, thank you. Umm, where is Koenma?"
"He has returned to Spirit World. Even though he looks to be young, he still has a world to rule." I smiled a little. "So, how long was I asleep?"
Kuwabara looked down at his watch, "It's 9:00 now. So, about 5 hours." I nodded my head. I knew I wouldn't be getting any sleep tonight.
(A/N)
I love this chapter. It drops some hints and facts about who she is. And it's just such a sweet chapter! The whole time I was writing it, I just kept thinking "what a happy little family!" Of course we know that's not going to Ever happen, but it was still cute! I hope you like my update; I know it's a little short. Not this week but next, there is no school! I'll probably get something out then! Yay! Anyway I'd love to hear anything you've got to say! Just don't be afraid to hurt me. Even if you think it's the worst thing on the earth, just tell me why. Thanks!
