Chapter 14: falling for you
*~ day 1 ~*
The five fighters were walking through the demon world forest to go look for this gem that they had to retrieve. They had yet to tell Karuka about it.
"So what's going on?" She asked, surprisingly she sounded more interested than annoyed.
"We have to go get some sapphire before these other demons do. It'll probably take a week to get there, or at least that's what Koenma said." Yusuke answered.
"And we have to watch you to make sure you don't try and steal it." Kuwabara added on.
"Well that makes me feel welcome all the better." She said.
"Don't worry you'll get used to them after a while." Kurama said to make Karuka feel a bit better.
"Yeah? And when do you think you'll get used to me?" She said, staring her pale green eyes into his bright and vibrant ones.
They didn't talk for quite a long time until they came to a good place to set up camp for the oncoming nightfall.
"So who wants to make a fire? Hiei? How 'bout you?" Yusuke asked as the chilling cold was just getting to him.
"I'm perfectly fine the way I am. Try and make your own fire, you can use dust from the idiots head." Hiei told him.
"How is it that you always find a way to make fun of me every time your mouth opens?" Kuwa asked.
"It's a gift."
"Well, it seems we have a greedy little stump on our hands hm? That 'gift' wasn't enough for you huh was it?" Karuka said, referring to the Jagan.
"Hn." Hiei turned his head and disappeared into a tree to begin his rest.
Karuka huffed and walked off into the darkness to find her peace and quiet among the many trees she hoped would muffle the sound of the rests voices. She sat at the trunk of a tree to think.
'I'm going to be in four more missions after this. They better not suck me into a goody goody phase and make my stand here permanent.' She opened one eye as she smelled the new area to become familiar with it and its scents.
She turned her head to see Yusuke hitting Kuwabara on the head as he had sneezed their fire out when the smoke entered his nose. She made no reaction to this and turned her head to fall asleep.
*~ day 2 ~*
It was four in the morning but no one knew since they didn't have watches. Karuka was up, she was enable to sleep thinking of the future she held. She walked off towards the light of the moon.
"It's almost a full moon. I think that will come while I'm still on this week long mission. I wonder if I can just sneak away for a bit with out them knowing." Karuka had an important tradition coming up with the full moon nearing. She didn't feel like explaining it to the people she had known for how long? Not even a week yet. She didn't want to admit it, but she was getting used to these bafoons around her.
"Catching fish are we?" Karuka turned around and met the illuminating red eyes of Hiei staring at the moon instead of her.
"Do you like to stalk women when they're vulnerable? Or is it just a coincidence that you're awake at this hour?" Karuka asked turning back around.
"I'm a night person too." He said to her.
"Doesn't leave much time for us to sleep when we're with the others does it?" Karuka said.
"I've learned to ignore them and do my sleeping while they're rambling on about nothing to my interest. The hard part is to walk and sleep, but I got that down." Hiei said thinking that would make Karuka slightly smile as he walked to stand by her side.
"Another gift?" She asked looking at him.
"Hn, so I looked into your dream, so what?"
"How much did you see?" She asked.
"If there was more then what I saw I would expect you to be dead now." He said.
"Yes, well not many people know of my real past. Excluding you, one maybe two, maybe even none." She told him.
"Maybe?"
"For all I know they could be dead, I haven't seen them all since childhood."
Hiei said nothing.
"So the baby told you to watch me in case I try to steal this gem?" Karuka asked.
"Yes, it seems he doesn't trust you."
"Well, to tell the truth, I don't trust my self either, and I don't expect you to trust me. I tried to kill you."
"Yes, I can't forget that, but I can trust that that won't happen again." Hiei turned to Karuka to get an answer.
"Unless you overly annoy me I might just have to try again. And these little sessions we have aren't going to help us any I don't think. You're on the good side, I am not. I don't see that changing any time in the near future, you know what I went through and you can't change that. My past practically entitles me to a life of robbery and you can't change that either." Karuka, again like the other times, walked away from the scene leaving Hiei to think.
'I know your past, and mine is similar. You can change, anyone can.' (A/N Do you think he's a bit out of character here?)
*~ few hours later (8:00) ~*
"Yusuke, wake up." Kurama was shaking Yusuke to get up after he had failed at Kuwabara who was literally in la la land.
"Uh what's going on?" Yusuke jolted up at the touch of Kurama.
"Well at least you're easier to wake up then Kuwabara." Kurama said. Karuka came from the brush to stand a few feet away Kurama just in time to listen to Kuwabara's sleep talking.
"Oh I love you Yukina. Will you marry me?" He said with some drool coming out of the side of his mouth.
Yusuke began to laugh and Kurama chuckled as he was looking around for Hiei.
"Yukina?" Karuka said. 'Why does that name sound so familiar?'
"Yukina's Kuwabara's love interest." Yusuke told her.
"How sweet and nauseating at the same time." Karuka said.
Luckily Kuwabara woke up before Hiei appeared.
"So we're all here. Let's go and find that sapphire." Kurama said as he walked off with Yusuke and Kuwabara close behind. Karuka followed them with out even glancing towards Hiei. He soon followed her too.
"This is so boring! I want to do something else." Yusuke whined as he walked through the forest.
"Don't be such a grouch Urameshi. Enjoy the walk!"
"And what's making you so happy Kuwabara? Usually you'd be complaining more than me."
"I dunno. Maybe it's the river or something." Kuwabara said as he pointed near the river.
"Oh yeah, I forgot that was there." Yusuke said now looking towards the river.
"Oh yeah, and long blue puddles are always the hardest to spot through a four tree clearing." Karuka sarcastically said.
"Hey shut up. I'm not that good at noticing things right off the bat when I'm tired."
"It's a river Yusuke. A drunkard could see that." Karuka put in.
Yusuke began to get mad at Karuka but thought of what Koenma had said.
'Well that little trick is going to cost her five more missions.'
He was going to have to get used to her.
*crackle*
"It looks like a storm's coming in." Kurama said as he listened to the noise of the lightning.
"We better get some shelter or the rain may hold us back." Yusuke informed.
"I don't need shelter from the rain." Karuka said.
"Well we do, come on." Kuwabara grabbed her wrist as they all walked towards a cave they had come across.
Inside they all situated themselves normally.
"What are we going to do for food?" Yusuke asked holding his stomach as it growled.
"We may be able to get some near by berries from the bushes." Kurama suggested.
"That's all?"
Karuka stood up and headed toward the opening of the cave.
"Where are you going?" Yusuke asked.
"To get some food." She answered.
"You can't go out there in that weather."
"I do what I please, and I'm going to get food." Karuka never turned around.
"But Karuka!" She had already gone.
"Crap! Now we need to go get her." Yusuke exclaimed.
"Come on you guys we need to find her, she could be making a break for it or something." Kuwa said.
"Okay, come on Hiei, you need to look too." Kurama said walking to the opening.
"Hn." Hiei stood up and lightning struck out just as he stepped out into the rain.
"I'm getting wet." Kuwa whined.
"That's to be expected when it rains you fool."
"Shut up!"
"Come on, we're out here to find Karuka not fight! Now I think we should split to cover more ground." Yusuke said and they all agreed. The four split up and walked off by themselves.
Following Hiei, he was nearing the river and he could faintly see a silhouette in the distance.
'Hn.' He thought.
As he neared the shadow he knew was Karuka, he could see a weapon in her hand, it was a spear. He watched her throw the long stick into the water and stab fish as the rope tied to her wrist brought the spear back up with the help of her force.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" He asked her.
"Fishing you idiot." Karuka didn't turn around.
"Hn, we thought you were escaping."
"Well I'm not. I'm just hungry." She threw the spear into the water again and produced two more fish on the end of it.
"Get back now." Hiei ordered.
"I'd rather not." Karuka said just to annoy him.
Hiei wouldn't take this so he grabbed her arm, which was obviously a bad mistake.
He could tell that she was growing angry as she fought the pull of his body and nearly threw him into the river. He let go.
"I'm not going anywhere till I want to." She said then turned around and her yellow eyes stared him down. The wind blew up scattering Karuka's wet hair to the side as she kept looking at Hiei waiting for him to leave.
"If you want to stay out here it's fine by me. I don't care if you die or not, it makes no difference in my life." He turned around to leave.
"I've heard that before." Karuka whispered as she thought of the places she had scavenged off to after leaving her house where she was not exactly respected.
Hiei didn't hear her but one huge, unexpected gust of wind forced him to her. The wind pushed Hiei back into Karuka, hitting his head with hers, and they were thrown into the river below, both unconscious.
