Hey ALL! Yo, I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho, But I DO own Yogosu. Also, to Rurouni Saiyan, No this isn't a Inu Yu Yu crossover. Sorry. But Like I said, I did use a lot of facts gathered from InuYasha to create a back ground and add to the creation of Yogosu. Sorry, wishful thinking. Also, thanks to Elizabeth to reviewing as well. Any way, I hope those who read this enjoy it. And please, leave a Review. They make me happy.
Chapter 9
The next attack
It was still snowing. And it was falling pretty heavily. Yusuke was beginning to wish he had thought to grab his coat before they left for spirit world. Hiei didn't have a coat, but he was well, Hiei. And since Kurama and Kuwabara walked, they had their winter coat. Yusuke just shrugged it off as he increased his spirit energy level to keep warm. It was a nice day to be at the park. Not a lot of people around at all. In fact, the place seemed deserted.
Yogosu was lying in a tree, in her 'priestess' clothing. She was not called in to work today, and was enjoying the weather. She was half asleep you could say, watching the snow fall. The red and black would make it easier to be spotted in this weather but right now she didn't care. She was enjoying watching the snow fall. Suddenly she felt her demon tracking stone resonate with energy. She had both her stones on, but paid attention to the one her brother gave her. The only reason she had her mothers with her was because she couldn't bear to leave it behind. She pulled out her brother stone which hung like a pendent around her neck. It was changing from red to blue. With longer intervals during the red period. She looked around from her perch in the tree and saw a group of four boys walking several yards from her current position.
She pointed the stone at them one by one. First she pointed it at Kuwabara. Human, then she saw the boy she recognized earlier, Demon, Then Yusuke, ... she paused at Yusuke, the stone was glowing purple.. 'It's not supposed to glow purple.. And the red head, he's the same one from yesterday.' she pointed it at the shortest member of the group. Demon. She took out her bow and an arrow, and armed it. She pulled back on the arrow taking careful aim. They were just close enough to try to get the pair of them with one arrow. She relished it.
The arrow flew through the air, Hiei saw it coming and disappeared with a burst of speed. His sudden disappearance got the others on guard. Good thing too. Because Kurama saw the arrow and narrowly avoided getting hit by it. Yogosu saw this and knew it would mean trouble, she armed another arrow.
"You know I don't appreciate getting shot at." said a dark voice behind her.
Yogosu's eyes went wide with fear, she didn't need to know who was now behind her. She moved her eyes to see behind her.
Hiei swung his sword in a downward diagonal motion, "Aaaaaaaaah!" she screamed as the cold steel cut across her back, making a bad yet shallow cut. She also fell out of the tree. Her warm blood splashed on the ground, staining the white snow. Hiei jumped from the three and landed in front of her.
"Now, care to tell me what you thought you where going to accomplish by attacking me?" Hiei demanded.
Yogosu struggled to get up, clenching her fists, getting fist fulls of snow. "You demons, you're all alike, you're monsters." she replied, her voice filled with the pain she felt. Which was of several varieties. She was now, positioned on her hands and knees. Hiei, was losing his patience. "That does not answer my question." said Hiei, and he held his sword close to her, the blade inches away from her skin.
"You demons killed my family," she reached for one of the bead sets around her wrist. "but," Hiei raised an eyebrow, what was this girl.. "I do not intend to die here!" she finished as she flung the beads from her wrist, and they wrapped around his own. It was the same hand he held his sword in. Once the beads made contact, there was an immediate section of pain, and he dropped it. He also felt a paralyzing effect when the sensation of pain had worn off. Yogosu grabbed her bow and made a retreat.
Hiei in the mean time, slowly tried to reach for the beads to remove them.
"Hiei!" yelled Yusuke as he and the others ran up to him. He basically ignored them as he continued to try to reach for the beads, which was going very slowly. It almost felt like the time he burned his arm at the tournament. Kurama and Yusuke reached him first followed closely by Kuwabara. Kurama reached for the beads that were around Hiei's arm, but was detoured when they shocked him.
"Here allow me." said Yusuke.
He reached out and grabbed them and if they zapped him, he didn't show it. Though they seemed stubborn on coming off, he finally did it.
"You ok?" Yusuke asked.
"I'm fine detective." Hiei said snidely as he flexed his hand to try and get rid of the lingering numbness he felt.
"It was her." he said.
"Are you sure?" asked Yusuke.
"Yes, she fits the description Kuwabara gave."
Kuwabara blinked. 'Did he just use my name?'
The others took no notice. They just surveyed the area. It didn't take a genius to notice the blood everywhere.
"You cut her a little badly didn't you Hiei?" asked Kurama, as he looked the area over.
"Hn."
"You know you could get in trouble with Koenma for that." said Yusuke.
"Hey did you just use my name a moment ago?" asked Kuwabara.
"Hn, I don't know what your talking about." said Hiei as he walked away.
"Hey don't walk away from me shorty!" Yelled Kuwabara as he gave pursuit.
Yusuke only chuckled, but stayed where he was.
"Hey Kurama, do you think we should go after her?" His smile faded and he gazed at the trail of blood. Kurama was looking at the scene.
"While we would be able to catch her, It may be best if we wait a wile longer until we know for sure what we're dealing with. She was no amateur, Yusuke. Not to be able to take Hiei by surprise like that. I'll guarantee you Koenma is trying to find her file as we speck. So in time, we will know a little more. Besides, she's hurt. She could very well be more dangerous now then ever. It's unwise to back a wounded animal into a corner."
Kurama still had no idea how close his words were to the truth. And of course, neither did Yusuke. They just continued to look at the area.
"I guess you're right. But perhaps we should clean this spot up at least." said Yusuke as he clenched his fist. "A low power shot gun should do the trick."
Kurama nodded, then something caught his eye. He picked it up, it was a larger bead. It felt odd in his hand. Almost like a binding sensation. That meant,
"Yusuke wait!"
"Shot Gun!"
Too late, Yusuke unleashed the attack and they both got a unpleasant kick back. A strange energy filled the area and the two were thrown back a bit. Of course Hiei and Kuwabara felt something odd and headed back to where they left Yusuke and Kurama.
When they got there, Yusuke had been knocked on his butt, and Kurama thrown back a good 8, 13 feet.
"Ow, what happened?" asked Yusuke.
"That's what I was about to ask." said Kuwabara.
"There were large prayer beads scattered all around. They must have fallen off our attacker when Hiei attacked her. And the energy they had was released when you destroyed them Yusuke." Said Kurama in a very unhappy tone. And frankly no one could blame him. Kurama threw the one he held at Yusuke.
"See for yourself."
Yusuke got up and caught it. It did feel weird in his hand, but it didn't hurt him if that's what Kurama wanted him to notice. But it was clear that a lot of this energy suddenly resized would hurt. He looked up at Kurama and smiled vainly.
"Uh, Sorry?" he rubbed the back of his head in a gesture of his lack of judgment and to add to his apology.
Kurama sighed. "You're forgiven Yusuke."
The mighty Koenma here. Yogosu takes some time to recover before treading home, and the boys analyze their current situation. Hiei also points out a few key factors that might help them beat her. Heres hoping.
