FOR ANY OF MY READERS WHO READ THE FIRST VERSION OF CHAPTER 2. I'm really sorry; I uploaded the wrong file so the one you guys read was the unfinished version. Please reread the chapter because this one is longer. Though I'm sorry that it's a lot shorter than my first chapter. Hey, I do have a life besides writing.
Disclaimer: I do not in anyway own YYH, its characters, or its plot/storyline. I DO own my original characters (OCs) and this story's plot. Guess what happens if you steal them and I find out? Please consider the following. I get pissed. I track you down. I eventually find you. Then I take great pleasure in ripping out your liver and eating it raw in front of you as you bleed your life out onto a carpet. Comprendai? Good.
"random crap" dialog (for you linguistically challenged, stuff in double quotes means people are talking out loud)
'more weird randomness 'thoughts of the character. Could also be the telepathic conversation of two (duh) telepaths
(the most disturbing content of all A/N) authoress' notes. I may or may not insert comments or explanations of certain things in my story.
The YYH cast comes into the plot in this chapter. O yeah, sorry about the Kuwabara bashing. I do it so often because it's so fun. . But for you Kuwabara fans out there, I am going to have him portrayed later on as something more than just a punching bag for Yusuke and Hiei.
Btw, please review. I know some authors actually set a minimum number of reviews per chapter otherwise they don't post and I'd really hate to do that. I just want to know that people are reading my story and actually care what's going to happen next. If I don't think people are reading I don't bother posting. And thank you to Mazylover and hottietotty90 for being my ONLY reviewers. You guys rock!.
Child of the Night
Chapter 2
(A/N I'll be switching scenes pretty often, so don't forget to pay attention to the bold, capitalized, and basically self-explanatory scene labels. Like the one below.)
OUTSIDE KOEMMA'S OFFICE
"For the final time detective; shut up," snarled Hiei. (A/N I might note that that was also the first time. --')
"Aw, loosen up big guy. We've only got 91 bottles to go!" laughs Yusuke through a cheeky grin.
"Don't you mean little guy?" this inevitable remark is bellowed quite loudly in the un-amused fire apparition's ear by whaddya know, Kuwabara. After flinching slightly, Hiei calmly right hooks Kuwabara in the face. This causes the soda Yusuke was chugging to promptly begin shooting out of his nose. Hiei rolled his eyes and resumed staring out the window.
"That is repulsing. I know hamsters that would make more intelligent company."
"Jaganshi, you've never even seen a hamster before!"
"My point exactly." (A/N ouch.)
BACK WITH KAYAM
She wanted to fly, wanted to feel the cold, comforting starlight on her face. But flying took a lot of energy. More energy than she had at the moment. She hesitated as she climbed out of the roof top trap door which provided the entrance to her bedroom. She'd fly for just a little while. 'Just a few minutes.' she thought.
She gently let the trap door drop shut next to her, and then scaled the huge tree. At the top near the canopy she held onto the branches tightly as they swayed in the strong wind. This time her wings unfurled slowly, finally stretching out to its majestic ten foot wing span. She heavily brought her wings up slowly and in one strong beat practically threw herself at the sky. Once she'd cleared the trees she tilted so she was parallel to the ground and gave another heavy beat of her wings. Her wings felt sore, they had been unused for too long and the stretch she was now giving them felt good. Finally she relaxed and allowed herself to glide along.
Wind whipped her hair across her face as Kayam soared. It was a cool night and soon her uncovered arms were chilled to the bone. Giving them a quick rub, Kayam started to look for a clearing to land in. Three minutes later she spotted one not far from the cliffs she was headed toward. Folding her wings tight against her body, Kayam dove into her downward decent with relish. When she was three yards away from the hard earth, her wings flung out to break her fall. After stretching tired back and leg muscles, Kayam focused for a moment as her wings dissolved into her being.
STILL OUTSIDE KOEMMA'S OFFICE
"I'm booooored….."
"Shut up weakling," Hiei glared at the offending human before muttering. "This is a complete waste of my time."
"Hey! Ya wanna start somethin' shrimp!" Hiei ignored him. "Come on! What are ya, a wuss? Sissy! Come fight me yalittle prick!" A few eyebrows are raised, though Hiei's face remains impassive.
"There would be no challenge involved, and therefore I would still be wasting my time not to mention a little energy, as I beat you into a bloody mass." Kuwabara's fists clenched for one moment before he leaped at Hiei. (A/N Authoress induced time freeze! What do YOU think is going to happen in the next scene? Could it be….? Kuwabara making a complete and utter fool of himself? No….. Well. I guess.)
Since Kuwabara had made it so evident that he was going to attack Hiei, by the time Kuwabara's body had reached the spot formally occupied by the demon, Hiei was already across the room. Let's review the facts now shall we? Kuwabara madly rushes at a section of wall formally occupied by Hiei. Hiei no longer occupies space on wall so now Kuwabara is rushing at empty wall. Kuwabara has slow reflexes and therefore does not realize this until…
BAM! (A/N Don't you just love written sound effects?) A collective sigh is heard from all directions. Hiei just smirks. 'Well, at least the idiot provides a form of entertainment.'
Just then Botan pops up with her trademark smile.
"Okay! Koemma's going to see you all now! Sorry about the wait, there was a lot of paper work to be done and he really couldn't see you until he had signed them. Then George accidentally tripped and knocked over a stack of files so we were all on the floor picking them up and putting the right papers back into-"
"Botan, listen to me. Shut. Up. I'm tired, it's a weekend, and we've all been sitting here for two and a half hours. Let us in that office. NOW." Yusuke was rubbing his temple in an honest effort to retain calm, unfortunately , it wasnt working too well. Botan sweat dropped before giggling.
"Okay! Okay! No need to get those white-tighties of yours in a twist. Let's go!" Kuwabara snicker as he follows the other three guys into the room. As usual the Spirit World's ruler-to-be has towers of paper work yet to be finished on his desk.
"Lots of work, eh Binky Breath?" Yusuke asked with his usual tactfulness. Koemma rolled his eyes.
"No Yusuke, I just thought having THOUSANDS of papers on my desk would look cool. Of COURSE I have lots of work you thick-headed BAFFOON!" Koemma suddenly had one of those anime moments were his head gets all huge and everyone else is huddled in a corner wimpering. (A/N a little stressed out are we?)
"Geesh. Just wondering," mumbled Yusuke. "So do you actually have a reason for dragging us out here, or did you just ring us up out of spite?"
"Spite," Koemma sighed. (A/N insert sarcastic eyeroll here). "Here's your mission." As the infamous screen slides up, Yusuke slouches down in his chair, Kuwabara heads another one, Kurama relaxes and leans against the wall with his arms crossed, and Hiei does the same minus the relaxing part. As the TV flickers to life, Koemma starts speaking rapidly. "Spirit World intelligence has reported that there is a rouge demon with exceptionally high levels of Spirit Energy who may be a potential threat."
