Hey everyone I am finally going to try and write something down on here although I won't guarantee that it will be long.
Thanks to all my reviewers and I am so glad that all of you support my writing even though I feel like it's starting to twiddle down now.
Disclaimer: I don't own YYH but I wish I did. Although I do own Ash, Shi, Kianna, Shinku, and Ryu, and Ginsei! I feel halfway special now!
Chapter 5: Questions and success
Ash opened her eyes finally to see white all around her, looking down everything became normal to her and now she felt a damp cloth on her forehead and slight pain running threw her body.
"Good your up." Came Kurama's soft voice from beside her. Ash instantly sat herself up letting the cloth fall into her open left hand.
"What happened?" She asked as the memories from before started flooding her mind.
"Let's just say your mind… collapsed." Kurama explained sitting next to her.
"Collapsed?"
"Hai your mind couldn't take all of those thoughts at once causing your mind to start shutting down." He tried to explain to her.
"Did… Ryu have a hold of me?"
"Yes since you aren't a telepath that's the only explanation for it." Ash who had been listening intently to all of this noticed the slight sadness in the kitsune's voice.
"What's wrong Kurama?" She asked with a questioning look in her gray eyes. (YAY I remembered something about what she looks like!)
He looked at her for a moment, "Kianna was actually taken by Ryu Koenma has confirmed it."
"I'm sorry Kurama we'll get her back!" Ash knew how much the water demon meant to him and even though she was her friend to she felt like she needed to reassure him of it most.
"Yes I know." He said. He said a smile passing across his face, "alright well I want to go outside then." Ash announced swinging her legs off the bed.
Pushing her own limit's she stood suddenly feeling herself fall. Kurama grabbed her arm instantly balancing her again, "okay I'm good." She said as he let go of her but followed her closely so she didn't fall.
Ash finally regained herself enough to walk to the door and down the hallway. Entering into the living room she found Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei sitting there.
The first to spot the two was Hiei but of coarse that came at no surprise. Hey look Ash is up now!" Yusuke said with a stupid smile on his face.
"Hai now how long was I out anyways?" She asked taking a seat in the recliner next to the windowsill that Hiei was occupying. "A few hours not long." He stated.
"Whatever happened to going outside Ash?" Kurama questioned taking a seat and putting his little kitsune in his lap who had been trailing him.
"I changed my mind." She said crossing her arms.
"So can you still like hear my thoughts?" Kuwabara asked a somewhat scared look on his face. "Wow Kuwabara I didn't even know you could think." Ash said smirking a bit.
"Yep… hey wait a minute are you trying to tell me something by that?" He asked his voice getting in the least bit louder.
"Yeah that you're a baka!" She told him. "You didn't answer the question." Came Hiei's voice suddenly.
"I don't think I can anymore." She said resting back in the chair. "Well that's good then." Yusuke said also resting back in the chair.
"Well now the question is what do we do about Kianna? I mean I know we're going to save her but how?" Yusuke asked looking around the room for suggestions.
"Well we need to do it soon." Ash said looking over at the rest of them who had questioning looks on their faces. Hiei was the only one who looked out the window probably not even listening to them.
"Kianna worked for Ryu before well I bet he was upset that his second in command was taken right?" She started, "yeah so?" Kuwabara asked urging her to go on.
"Well I bet now that he has her back he is going to torture her severely for her actions get it?" Everyone nodded. "Your not very observant." Hiei said referring to all but Ash looking over at them.
"Well Shorty you didn't know that either." Hiei stayed silent a moment.
"Yes I did I just don't care what happens to her." A few gasps went across the room from his last statement.
"Nani?" Yusuke asked.
"I don't like her so I didn't say anything."
"You know Hiei we could have done the same thing to you when you were forced to be on this team." Yusuke said as Ash looked from one boy to the other and back again.
"Well that was your decision and you didn't make it." He said looking back out the window. "Well are you going to help us or not then?"
"Yes." He said shortly looking back out the window.
(Skipping over to where Ryu is.)
Shinku sat outside the Surgery room door she had been feeling an odd sensation the whole time Kianna had been having the operation. Now it had been a few hours since then and now it was well then done.
Suddenly the door opened and Kianna walked out her hand on the nearby wall for support. Shinku stood up and waited for the water demon to make her way over to her.
"Come Kianna master Ryu would like to see you immediately." Shinku said as they started to walk slowly down the hall. Shinku noticed the little device on the back of her neck and she knew well what it would do.
"Shinku why would you stay here with Ryu? You can leave so easily so why stay." Kianna suddenly questioned as they entered into another hall.
Shinku stayed quiet a moment not even acting in the slightest that she heard her. "He helps me." She said silently as Kianna turned to her slightly.
"You can get help from others… just not him." She tried to explain but Shinku turned to her suddenly, "I have no where else to go you would not understand. My life is what I make it understood?" She said her light gray eyes becoming a bit darker.
Kianna was silent a moment witnessing the little ice demon's ki flare up, "hai." She said weakly letting the subject drop. "Can you at least tell me what this thing does?" She said motioning to the metal device on her neck.
"No I am not allowed to give that information mater Ryu will explain it to you."
"You were such a innocent little soul before he got control over you… do you ever wish you could become that way again?" Kianna questioned revisiting some old memories her and Shinku had shared however rare they had been.
The little ice demon stayed silent not giving any sign that she was even going to answer her so they stayed silent the rest of the way until they reached a large door with the words 'Training' engraved in it.
"The training hall?" Kianna said as Shinku opened the door and led the way into it. The room itself was rather large with a large ring in it and bright lights shining upon its surface.
Ryu stood in the ring a smirk on his face. "Well I see the operation went well ne?" He said as the two made their way across the room. Shinku stopped first nodding to her master.
"Excellent now for its test." He started then his fierce eyes darted to Shinku. "Shinku come up here." He ordered and instantly the ice demon ran in front of her master about a three feet difference between them.
"Now Shinku I need you to use the Kuroi Bara to throw any kind of attack at me." He ordered of her.
She seemed to know what he was talking about because instantly the black rose came up to about the start of her neck and started charging it until it started turning into a light purple color.
Suddenly a lightning bolt shot from the rose petals at Ryu until it struck his body. He seemed unaffected by it but Kianna on the other hand started screaming in pain.
"Enough." Ryu called and the bolt disappeared instantly and Kianna collapsed onto the floor in pain. Ryu smiled and walked over to where Kianna was as she started to collect herself.
"That's the power of that little machine all the pain I am supposed to feel goes directly to you so if the attack is meant to kill me it will kill you instead." She looked up at him fear obviously present in her eyes as he explained it to her.
"Good now you will be left in your cell." He said instantly walking out of the room. "Shinku." He called ordering her to follow. She instantly started after him but slowed when she heard the weak almost silent voice from Kianna.
"Are you happy knowing your hurting people?"
A/N: Oh long and now I have a part in my mind I can use for later on that I thought of when I was writing Ryu's explanation of that device on Kianna. Maybe you all can figure it out give it a try and next chapter I'll announce who got it right!
Please review!
