I don't own YYH
Looks like I'm back to writing this story. I had stopped before because it didn't seem people were interoperated and at the time I had four or five other stories going. So I dropped this and concentrated on the others. If people want me continue this I, of course, will, but I need reviews to know that.
Speaking of which, thank you crepes for reviewing. Lol. Surprisingly enough getting Jin to speak doesn't bother me in the slightest. And a review never bothers me, so do not fret. You, in fact, got me back into writing this :)
Questions and Riddled Answers
A male demon looking to be in his fifties with long, fine, sliver hair stood in the doorway to Devin and Kara's home. His eyes were a steely blue filled with much knowledge and what would look like insanity to most. He was leaning on a tall wooden staff as if weary from traveling.
Devin sighed and looked at the demon before him. "Kara was planning to go out and find you."
"Yes, Yes. She finds not what she seeks, but seeks what she finds."
"Right," Devin said slowly. "Come on in Silven, everyone's waiting for you." Silven walked past Devin, using his staff for a bit of reassurance with each step.
Kara stood upon seeing the older man, "Hello Silven, how are you fairing?"
"Fairing, fairing is the weather and the weather is mighty good," Silven answered with a nod.
Everyone except Kara looked to one another in confusion, as if to silently ask if anyone had understood what the old man had just spoken.
Silven looked around curiously for a moment. "My dear, my dear, where is Tara the seer? The one who sees the light. The one that knows the gods true might. My dear, my dear, where is Tara the seer? I beckon thee to tell mine ears where I may look upon her fiery state."
"Don't you mean icy state?" Yusuke asked. Tara was an ice demon after all and fire did not seem capable one describing one of ice.
"Indeed, indeed, fiery is a mighty right word. As blood is fiery and not ice cold such as her will's dismal chill."
Yusuke shook his head as he tired to decipher those words. Kurama chuckled. Apparently he had understood it somewhat and was amused by Yusuke's actions. "You are surely strange Silven."
"Strange is but a simple seam in something large yet unseen," Silven responded as if it were obvious. "But, tell me, tell, where Tara is my dear. Is she hiding away in a game of jest or is she fighting unlike the rest."
Kara sighed heavily, "I'm afraid she was taken by our enemy."
"Oh my," Silven breathed, "Darkness has befallen this day, oh how not so nice weather now is."
Kara nodded and motioned for Silven to have a seat, "Would you like anything? You must be weary from travel."
"Nay my lass. I am no more jaded than the hellish fleet."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Yusuke asked in frustration. He had barely understood a word the man had said since he had entered the house and it was very frustrating for him.
With a chuckle Kara seated herself next to her frowning husband, who happened to be across from Silven. Devin tapped his index finger on his chin for a moment, "Do you have any idea where they would have taken Tara, Silven?"
"Nay, I dear say, I wish not," the older man cringed as he said this.
"But you do know," this, amazingly to everyone, came from Touya. His face had remained ever calm throughout the entire time Silven had been present, but that was not so unusual to those who knew him. Whether he had understood everything said or was as lost as his friends was unknown, but it seemed he had understood this most recent sentence, if not merely guessing at its meaning.
Silven's gazed turned to Touya, "Ah, the master of chill, the child the ever wise lass spoke of with butterfly delight."
Touya's lips shifted ever so slightly upward but came back to be neutral before anyone could confirm it. "Tara always fawned over me when I was a child, but was careful not to pamper me too much at the same time."
"And a mighty clever lass she is for not falling for the diaper," Silven smiled. "No misfortune it was for choosing the loving way over the innocent one."
"Yes," Touya nodded, "Something I am grateful for."
Jin looked helpless and confused, his ears drooping to show it, "What is he meanin' with all tha' Touya?"
"Never mind that Jin," Kara answered, "Touya was taught by Tara before the Shinobi came and recruited him, so it is no surprise he can understand Silvin as well as her." She turned her attention to the silver haired man, "Do you know the way to his hideout?"
Flinching slightly Silven shook his head back and forth, "I know not the path to that dismal place. Through the fiery darkness and chilling sun, through blackest forest and hellish seas, through sticky substance and sweetest death. I know not the path to that bloody gate."
Devin stood, "Looks like we need a map."
"Do we have one that covers enough area?" Kara asked.
"Of course," Devin answered, "My parents and I weren't travelers for nothing you know."
"Didn't say you weren't," Kara responded with a hurt tone.
Bending down and kissing his loves forehead he smiled, "And I didn't mean to hurt you." With that he stood and walked off toward their bedroom.
Kuwabara, who had wisely stayed quite during the entire thing, could not hold back his question now, "How do you know where we're going? He didn't say anything helpful."
"Oh contraire, he did," Kara smiled. "He told us all we need to know."
Hmm, what the hell was Silven saying? And did he really say enough for them to know where they're going?
