Chapter 20: more water sir?
Hiei knelt down looking at Karuka's flustered face. Her light breathing truly indicated that she would live. He smirked inside thinking of her shuffle across the floor to Yusuke. She must have been able to hear his whole conversation to know about Yusuke and the antidote. He stood and looked down at Kurama.
"Looks like she'll be ok with time to heal." Kurama stood too still with his eyes on Karuka.
"You know Hiei," he looked toward his friend, "you seemed quite scared finding out Karuka might have died."
Hiei sensed the sarcasm in Kurama's voice hinting him towards "something" he was joking about.
"You said she would die. Not might die. Keep that in mind." Hiei tried to get the "something" off of Kurama's mind.
"You still have a fight to finish. He looks weak, I'll let you finish while I look for the gem." Hiei walked toward the open door he burst through just a few minutes earlier. While walking, he paused and took one last look at Karuka's frail body keeping an eye on Kurama to see that he was not in fact looking.
"My opponent is beginning to wake up it seems." Kurama looked at the fallen demon. Then, he got ready for attack...
with Hiei
'If the gem has the power to cast floods on whole cities then it should produce an energy signal.' Hiei walked down the corridors of the building.
Hiei looked to his left and saw a big bolted up door. Inside was the Hamisha Gem.
"Well if you make it that conspicuous..." Hiei walked toward the door and slammed it open.
"I should have the right to take it." He had his hand that he punched the door out with in the air. He saw a faint blue light in the distance.
'The gem.' Hiei walked to the light with his arm out in front of him to grab it.
As Hiei neared the light its brightness made the shape of it come in focus and it seemed to be the shape of a slanted rain drop. The light emitting from its core cast a glow upon Hiei's face. His eyes grew wide as he entered its energy cage. He began to be pulled in but kept up enough strength just to grab it. Its light slowly disappeared as Hiei stared in its glory of power.
'Time to get back to Kurama.' Hiei turned around and went back the way he came. (A/N I didn't want to make Hiei getting the gem so incredibly hard because I wanted to get this chapter out soon. Out of all my stories it's probably my favorite just because I've thought deeper into it than the others and it is the first I wrote... hm... what if I do this! Please don't hate me?)
"Stupid place. This mission was a big bust of stupidity. This dumb city is a waste of space keeping this gem under virtually zero security. I'm surprised no one has stolen it by now. It has no reason to keep a gem of this stature or even exist at that matter.'
As Hiei searched for the correct passage way a certain energy grew larger in his hands. The gem began to glow violently and it slowed Hiei's light walking to hard struggling.
"Its- power!-It's too-strong!" Hiei tried to let go of the gem and release it from his hands but its power was too much. Then the sound of crashing water filtered through Hiei's ears...
with Kurama
"AH!" Kurama struck his whip down one final time and defeated the demon. (A/N I REALLY didn't want to make another fight scene right now... sorry)
"You haven't really defeated me." The demon looked up at Kurama's flustered face from the fight.
"What do you mean?" Kurama asked in an over pretentious voice.
"There are more people above me that are now out for you and your friends' blood. By the death of me, you've opened up a new problem for the spirit world. A deadly one." Then, the demon lost breath, and perished.
'What does he mean?' But before Kurama could figure out what the words meant he heard the sound of crashing water. He turned around and the door that stood behind him broke down and water cascaded through its opening. Kurama was tripped by the water and he was taken away with it. Just as Karuka, Yusuke and Kuwabara were too.
"The guys! They're still unconscious!" Kurama's lungs were getting full of water as he fought to stay afloat. He grabbed after the others to try and save them. First he grabbed Karuka and swam her to a high place in the room. Then he went for Kuwabara. After depositing Kuwa next to Karuka he grabbed Yusuke who passed by.
"Hiei?!" Kurama spotted a dark figure and saw that it was Hiei. He dived into the water and sawn to Hiei.
"Hiei!" He yelled seeing if he was conscious or not.
"Kurama! The gem-! Its power-!" Hiei couldn't finish. He ducked under the water and swan towards the others with Kurama as what seemed to be a no ending waterfall.
"Where has all this water come from?" Kurama asked Hiei as the water began to rise.
"I think-" Hiei stuttered as the gems power was still having an effect on him.
"I think it came from the gem." He was breathing hard as he looked at Kurama for his response.
"The gem? You think the gem did this?" Kurama asked.
"There's a flood isn't there?" Hiei looked at Kurama to show that he most likely wasn't lying. So, wasting no time, each Kurama and Hiei took someone to swim out the building with. (A/N you can guess yourself who carries who)
"I'll go back and get Kuwabara. You get Karuka and Yusuke as far away as possible." Kurama went back wading in the water that would soon take over the whole city.
Hiei grabbed both Yusuke and Karuka and dragged them away from the center of the flood as fast as he could.
with Kurama
Kurama trudged through the water as it splashed in his face searching for Kuwabara. He looked forward and saw that the water was nearing Kuwabara. So he went faster in his attempt to save him. He neared Kuwabara's body and wrapped him over his shoulders. He walked quickly out of the building to get to dry land... or just land in general would work too.
Kurama got outside with Kuwabara and spotted Hiei 100 yards away in a tree and went after him trying to beat out the flood. When Kurama got to the foot of the tree there was about a foot and a half of water around his legs. He jumped up to Hiei.
"What will we do? We can't get all three of them out of this flood by ourselves, and on foot." Kurama, with wet clothes and hair sticking to his body and same with Hiei (A/N You can imagine yourselves what that looks like... that's what I'm doing... thinking drooling)
"We each can take one but what about the third?" They sat in the tree breathing heavily trying to think of a way to make this work when...
"Hello boys. Oh my! What's going on?" Botan suddenly appeared in front of the guys on her magical flying oar.
"There's no time to explain. Botan, can you take Karuka while we take Kuwabara and Yusuke out of this flood?" Kurama asked the ferry girl.
"Of course I can. Here get her body on fast." Botan turned her oar so the guys could deposit Karuka on the end of it.
"Ok, now we'll take Yusuke and Kuwabara."
"Good. You'll need to hurry, the flood is rising." Botan looked one last time then took off with Karuka.
"Let's make this work." Kurama said as Hiei nodded and got Yusuke over his shoulders. Kurama did the same with Kuwabara. They both took off running through the trees trying to get out of that city as fast as possible.
somewhere else (with Kurama and Hiei)
"Kurama stop." Hiei suddenly stopped.
"But Hiei, the flood will take us out." Kurama looked back in question.
"No it won't." Hiei stood firm as the rushing water he was trying to beat was rumbling toward him. Hiei squinted when the tidal wave like movements of the flood cascaded closer and closer to him. Kurama looked in surprise when the 40 mile per hour water abruptly stopped four feet away from where Hiei stood.
"What?" Kurama's jaw opened widely as he stared at the water just standing up as if it had been stopped by Plexiglas in an aquarium.
"How can it do that?"
"The power of the Hamisha Gem causes it to cover a whole city in water. Where I stand right now is four feet out of the city the flood was cast upon." Hiei stared out at the top of the body of water remembering when Karuka flew over the ocean in their first encounter.
"You sound like me when you say that." Kurama smiled as did Hiei when Yusuke and Kuwabara started to come around.
"Huh? What's going on?" Yusuke slowly opened his eyes.
"You almost died." Hiei dropped Yusuke to the ground and crossed his arms.
"Ow! That hurt! Oh... why does my head hurt so much?" Yusuke asked rubbing it.
"That's probably the effect of the antidote to the poison that was injected into you." Kurama set down Kuwabara lightly as he woke up too.
"Whoa, what's up with that water?" Kuwabara arched his head up to see the still standing glassy liquid.
"We should get back as soon as possible. Botan has Karuka." Kurama walked off toward the way back. The rest followed. Yusuke and Kuwabara of Course slowed them down seeing as Kuwabara was asking stupid questions and Yusuke kept talking about his pained head.
Koenma's office
The four boys walked into the office to see a worried Koenma and Botan and a bored looking Karuka.
"Good, you're ok. By the way Botan described it made me worry."
"We're fine Koenma." Yusuke said.
"Oh you're fine when we get back to spirit world but the whole walk back you can't help but whine." Kuwabara said as he went to sit down next to Karuka.
Karuka looked at Kuwabara in disgust, "yes, it seemed that the flood was quite big, or as Botan explained it, 'oh dear god, that water is going to devour them and they will be killed.'" Karuka switched to her shadow form and moved across the floor and came out of the floor to stand at the wall.
"Wait a minute, I said that to myself on the way back. How did you hear me?" Botan asked.
"I was still conscious when you were flying, which means that I could hear you. Never before in my life have I loved the fact that my ears worked." Botan made a confused face but Hiei and Kurama knew exactly what she meant.
"Well, now that everyone's ok, where is the gem?" Koenam asked.
"Right here." Hiei put out his arm and showed the blue gem.
"Great, ogre, take that to a safe place." Koenma told the ogre.
"One thing I don't understand is why there was a flood? Did you do that Hiei?" Kurama asked.
"Sort of, I guess some things are close calls in consideration of wanting the destruction of a city." He said from the dark corner.
"The only downside was that the city destroyed was a very rich city with many suppliers of money and other such things." Koenma told them.
"Oh well for them, they should know what it's like to live through a tragic disaster once in a while." Yusuke said rubbing his head.
"Hey Karuka," she looked toward Kurama, "Why doesn't your head hurt like Yusuke's does? You were treated with the same antidote and poison as Yusuke was and his head was in pain for a great deal of time."
"I don't show coverable pain." She looked at the floor.
"Well, good work to all of you. I'll call when another mission comes up. Yusuke, Kuwabara, you can go back to the human world. Hiei, Kurama, you can go to the demon world. Karuka, you stay here with me and Botan." Koenma started to shuffle some papers when Yusuke and Kuwabara started to leave and Karuka rolled her eyes.
"I'll be outside." Karuka left the room with Kurama, Hiei, Koenma and Botan still inside.
"Well she's still on the outskirts of insanity working with you guys isn't she?" Koenam asked the remaining detectives.
"Her? What about us? She hasn't been a complete rose to work with. All thorns I say."
"Now Hiei that isn't very nice thing to say." Botan told him.
"Oh well. Good work, to you two especially." Kurama and Hiei nodded and left.
