Chapter 12: Visions
"Where is he? I know he's here."
Keiko walked over to Jo, "Honey, who are you talking about?"
Jo still stared at the others, "The person who did this to me, I know who it was, it was..."
Jo flintched a bit when as she broke off the sentence and when Yusuke went to touch his sister's shoulder, she jerked back clutching her head.
The visions of what had happened that night filled Jo's head once again, but this time she actually the whole thing.
Inside the Vision
BAM!
A demon engulfed in flames goes flying into the nearest wall.
"Oh come on, I thought demons were supposed to be tough."
Jo watched as the demon in flames burned to a cinder.
"Well, that's no fun. Oh well."
As she turned to walk away, Jo felt someone behind her. It wasn't a hunch, she actually felt the person behind her, as if the person wanted to be noticed. So she decided to play the helpless human girl.
"Oh my, I'm just a helpless little human girl, all alone, wandering in a dark building at night. What shall I do?"
She heard the "thing" behind her move again.
"Okay, this is boring, if you're gonna attack me, do it now or just let me leave."
Jo heard whatever it was move again, but towards her. She prepared herself for an attack.
"Okay big boy, come and get me."
And so it did. The demon jumped out of the shadows and lunged at Jo. She ducked as it jumped over her.
"Give me a break."
The demon turned back around, this time it had a spike sticking out of each wrist. Jo raised an eyebrow.
"Ooh, ya gonna stab me now, slice and dice...heh, I don't think so."
Jo pulled her wrists up to her chest then threw them back down at her side, flames surrounding them.
The demon lunged again, swinging the spikes at Jo who dodged them each time. This demon had guts if it was take her on. It continued to strike and Jo continued to dodge. She sighed.
'Now this is boring, I could get more entertainment watching Keiko slap the shit out of Yusuke.'
Getting fed up, Jo dodged one more time, but instead of coming back up, she slammed her head into the demon's gut causing it to stumble back.
"Stupid human bitch."
Jo smirked, "Besides the stupid part, yes, I am a human bitch and you're charcoal."
The demon charged again, but this time he went through Jo. When he turned around, the human bitch standing before his smirked and disappeared. He thought she was gone, but he was wrong. As he stood, he stopped in mid-motion, a feeling of fire crept up his back. The demon exploded into a display of ashes, Jo standing on the other side of them.
Jo smiled in triumph, even though this demon was weaker than most, she still felt good about the kill. Jo closed her eyes and concentrated to hear if there were any other foot steps and indeed, there were and they sounded familiar.
'Ah what the hell, one more couldn't kill me.'
True the demon wouldn't kill her, just blind her and make her deaf on one side. (A/N: Ooh, I feel the revealing coming up.)
As she turned around, she came face to face with the demon. She sighed in relief.
"Oh, it's just you, I bet you saw me take on those demons. Did I kick ass or what?"
Who ever was with her nodded.
"So why are you here, I bet the other sent you to babysit me. It's okay, I'm done anyway."
Jo went to leave, but the person grabbed her arm and threw her across the room into a cavern.
"What the hell, what's your damage."
The person stepped quickly across the room and as Jo went to stand up, the person grabbed her left shoulder and pushed her against the wall. The person then reached into HIS pocket and pulled out a vile of red liquid.
Jo began to struggle.
"What the hell are you doing?"
The person raised the vile and tipped it causing two drops to touch near Jo's eyes, burning her.
"Stop NOW!"
But the person didn't stop, he continued to dump the burning liquid on Jo's eyes, but it all went wrong from there.
Jo struggled more and more, which in her case, was the wrong thing to do. When she pulled to hard, the liquid splashed and went into her ear causing her to scream in pain.
The person backed away.
"What did you do to me? Why did you do this, WHY Kurama..."
End Vision
"...Why Kurama, why?"
While the others stood shocked, Yusuke's blood began to boil. How could someone he trusted so much hurt his sister?
Jo felt a spark and looked up, she could see Yusuke, he was glowing, everyone was glowing. She could see the silhouettes of everyone in the room.
Jo stood up slowly, watching the silhouette of her brother closely. When her brother went to strike at Kurama, Jo stepped forward and grabbed Yusuke's wrist.
"Jo, what the hell?"
Jo's eyes stayed on Kurama.
"It was supposed to be different, right? You tryed to help my powers advance since they were struggling, but I moved."
Kurama nodded and Yusuke pulled his hand back.
An useasy silence hung in the room, but was broken when Yukina realized something.
"She isn't blind anymore."
The comment finally kicked in and the uneasiness left.
Jo shook her head, "Nah, Yukina I'm still blind, but I can see silhouettes and sence everyone, which helps alot. So no more Jo running into closed doors that Yusuke shuts on her."
Oh how the dirty looks flew in Yusuke's direction.
Yusuke shrugged, "It was funny...she usually runs into everything...I'm going now."
It wasn't over, everyone except Kurama and Hiei went after Yusuke.
Jo smiled, it seemed everything was somewhat back to normal. When she turned to face Hiei, she could tell that he was staring at Kurama.
"Hiei, you stare long enough at him, you'll burn a hole."
"Hn."
Hiei turned to walk out of the room, but Jo caught his arm. Jo felt a rush when she touched him. She quickly shut her eyes. Still clutching Hiei's arm, she opened her eyes and couldn't believe what she saw.
"Oh my goddess, I can see everything."
As Jo went to let go, Kurama pressed her hand back down.
"You're still partially blind, what is happening now is Hiei's helping you see through his Jagan."
Jo turned to Hiei, "So does that mean I get to follow you everywhere."
Hiei rolled his eyes, let go of Jo, and walked out the door.
Jo went to go after him, but was stopped when she ran...into the door. Kurama caught her from falling over.
"Damn door, always attacking me."
Jo looked up at Kurama, she could tell he was still feeling guilty. That caused Jo to sigh.
"You better chear up or I will kick you."
"Just a kick?"
"Ooh, you want more."
"I'll drop you on your butt."
Jo willingly gave up and Kurama let her go. As she walked out the now OPEN door, she turned back and smiled.
"The visions suck sometimes, but they're okay. Well, just not the fire and brimstone."
"Fire and brimstone?"
Jo looked down, then back up at Kurama.
"Something's coming, I don't know what, but it's gonna be nasty as hell."
Jo didn't wait for a reaction, she just walked out the door leaving Kurama alone.
'I was right, there is something coming.'
HAH, there it is, I did say later this week and guess what? It's later this week. I hope it was good enough for ya.
I have already been thinking about what I'm going to do after this fic is done and over with, which isn't anytime soon, but I've been thinking and I have two ideas for my next fic, but I'm only gonna use one. I thought you'd all like to hear what they'd be about.
The first one is simple, if you've seen the movie Cruel Intentions, that's what it would be like. I ran this one past someone and they said and I quote "NOOOOOOOO". Heh, that's Andi. LOL!
The second one was a thought I had and I personally liked it. Okay, Kurama was reborn, we all know that, but what about Kuronue. So here's the senario, Kuronuue IS infact reborn, but not as a guy, but as a girl who is looking for his/her pendant, you know the one. It would go on like that and end up being a Kurama/Kuronue fic. The funny thing about it would be the fact that Kuronue is now a girl, not a girly-girl, but a tomboy 'cause well, he's a guy in a girls body, which makes sense.
So, let me know what you think and I'll be back next chapter.
