Chapter 13(Okay hope you like the chapter, and I have to givea thank you to Lee Totema for reviewing. I don't own the yuyu gang...and please review. Thanks Pixie)
Kurama smiled at me happy with everything. "Where do you want to go?" I pointed to the woods, "Out there...I love the woods...forest or whatever you wish to call it." I stated. He nodded and took my hand in his. "Then let's go." I nodded smiling as we walked out my bedroom door, and down the hall. When we reached the back door Shadow stopped us. "Where are you two going?" I looked at Shadow kindly. "We're going to take a walk...why?"
"Okay...Kurama..." Shadow gave him a wink which kinda weird me out for a minute but then it past. "We'll be back later." Kurama finally said, and with that we left.
We walked to the woods (Whatever!) and continued till we reached a water fall. "Water falls are quite lovely when the sunlight hits it the right way...the mist at the base gets a small rainbow, and it makes this place look like a dream." I stated softly. "How would you know this?" Kurama asked me. "First off books...and the other day or so I slept out here remember?" He nodded, and looked around at the flowers growing around here. I was having a nice time being with Kurama like the last time, but again the worry took that feeling away. The girls were my responsibility, and I should've been the one watching them until we knew this bitch, Amaya was put behind spirit cell bars, or dead. I couldn't take it.
"Why do I always feel this way!" I asked myself frustrated. "What way?"
"Like something bad is going to happen when I'm away from them." Kurama grinned. "You're worried about them...and don't want Amaya coming while you're gone." I nodded, "Why though? I know they're my responsibility, but it isn't just that...I feel like...I can't describe it." I stated. "Friends...kids...I can't help if I don't know...maybe it's that you feel like they're your sisters." My eyes got wide at the thought as he said that. My eyes watered up as I looked into his eyes to see wonder go to a sorry look as he wrapped his arms around me.
"I'm sorry I should've watched what I said...But maybe that's the reason." I hugged him to me as silent tears trailed down my face. "Thank you Kurama...you've answered why...thank you." I pulled back from him. "I have to watch them...I may have a life, but not knowing when Amaya is going to attack kills me when I'm away cause it could happen..." I heard screams in a distance back at the palace. "The girls!" I screamed running back to the palace Kurama behind me.
When I got to the back door I saw the mess left behind from Amaya's visit. Yusuke was knocked out on the floor Kuwabara not that far from him. Hiei was on the ground bleeding. "Did she take the girls?" I asked Hiei getting on my knees to look at his wound. "Hn, what do you think onna! Where else would they be...Amaya wasn't alone this time." I slapped him in his face making him hit the ground with his head. "Don't give me an attitude!" I ordered lifting his shirt to see a horrible gash in his side. "Kurama get me some thread and needle." He nodded, and ran to get the stuff. "Onna when I'm better I'm going to kill you."
"Good that would help me out...then you can get the girls back and train them yourself right! Look I had a feeling something was going to go bad out there I knew I should've come back so don't push it!" I screamed at him as the others were coming to. Kurama came back and gave me what I needed. I cleaned Hiei's wound, and stitched him up.
I got up and went to the others, and helped them out. I then went to Koenma to see if he knew where this woman could be.
(Paine's pov)
I woke up chained to a wall. I didn't know what was going on till Amaya came into my view then everything came back to me. Paige was still out beside me. I looked Amaya in the eyes pissed and wanting to kill her sorry ass. "We're not doing anything you say you stupid black headed bimbo!" I hollered. "I wasn't planning on you two doing anything. You're merrily bait for the real prize...your mother, father and your sister." I was confused. "WE don't have a sister...a brother yes, but not a sister." Amaya shook her head. "No you have a sister, and she's been training you all this time. I wanted to trick her, but using you as bait I can get her to do anything." I rolled my eyes for a minute. Then through all my density I realized who she was talking about! "Phoenix! She can't be my sister!" I yelled surprised. "Well she is...the oldest of the family. You're parents know I have you, and have been ordered to come...now all we have to do is wait for the last link, and this will be finished." Amaya stated then walked off. I hung there dazed for a while thinking about what Amaya said. That means if she's my sister then Mom and Dad left her, and all this is their fault.
(My pov)
"I know where she is...go through this portal and you'll be with them in their cell. Free them and bring them back!" I nodded, "Trust me that's all I want to do right now!" I jumped through and appeared in front of Paine and Paige. "Good you're not hurt." I said walking over to the cuffs, and breaking them. I put Paige over my shoulder. "Come on before..." It was too late Amaya appeared near the portal. "Ah, just who I was waiting for...Now for the reunion of this pathetic family." I was confused but someone grabbed my arms and put them behind me. An ugly thing took Paige off my shoulder and held her in his arms, and another was holding Paine the same way I was being held. "I won't let them do anything you say!" I growled at Amaya pissed more then I have ever been. Fire engulfed me but it didn't burn the thing behind me. "Pull your fire back in...You're not going to burn Telino." I rolled my eyes, "I can't pull it in stupid I'm pissed it happens when I'm pissed." She crossed her arms over her shoulders and rolled her eyes, "Well I'm sorry I don't know anything about you really just the fact you had no soul, and you've wished for so long to meet your family. You're not the only one who has been cursed with something!"
I was confused, "What?"
"You're here to meet your family...not for me to destroy anything...that would be my sister looking for them not me. I had been looking for you guys to bring your family together like you have wished. I may be an ice demon, but I have to help others with their wishes." My eyes got wide at this. "So who's your sister?"
"Her name is Becca...you haven't met her yet...She's been looking for them for like forever...anyways I don't live with her." I gave a signal nod dazed at all of this. "So we've been against the wrong one?" She nodded. "Okay no more questions you have to meet your family." I gave a kind nod, and followed her as the thing pushed me from behind still holding me. We walked down numerous hallways to get to a room the looked to be a throne room. I found three people there. Two looked to be in their mid thirties, and the other to be about fifteen.
"Who is she?" The female asked coldly. "Which one there's three she's." I asked them. "You the one that spoke!" The older male spat. "My name is Phoenix Rin Yukiko Yuri...or so I was told since I was three. Who are you people!" I asked them just as coldly as the one named Telino let go of my arms. The other thing that was holding Paine let go of her. "Phoenix I was going to tell you down there...I just found out we are sisters." I shook my head at this. "You are nothing like me...act nothing like me. It can't be." I stated not knowing if I was telling her she was wrong, or trying to convince myself it just couldn't be. "Oh, but it is Phoenix...this is your family. The one you wonder about night and day. The ones you write in your poetry, and journals." Amaya said holding up a poem I wrote. "You just want to be loved by them...why won't you just accept these people are your family?" I couldn't even explain why myself.
Tears silently trailed down my face as Paige began to stir. Not a sob was heard, but only tears could be seen. I fell to my knees in front of all of them, and cried. Paine hugged me to her and petted my hair trying to calm me down. I was happy to know my family was a live, and to know who they were, but why did they leave me. Why did they abandon me? Did they not love me? "You brought us here for this? I told you Amina is dead to us!" The father said cruelly. "Who is Amina, but the girl in front of you? The one who wanted to have a family since she was little!" Paine screamed at her Father. "Her name is Phoenix honey...not Amina." Paige was up, and walked over to me...she must have heard even though out. "Her original name was Amina Hoshi Gina. As we all are Gina's!" Paige hollered hugging me as well.
"She isn't our daughter!" The father screamed. "She looks nothing like Amina!" The mother cried upset. I pushed myself from the girls, and walked up to their parents. "How would you fucking know what I looked like when I was a baby! My parents gave me up before I was even a year old...I've been controlled by the man named Yuri in which I killed...but then again you probably did nothing about it when I took your daughters from you to train them!" I hollered in the Mother's face. "You will not speak to my wife that way!" I pushed the father in to a wall, and held him there from the collar of his shirt. "I will speak the way I wish...after all you are my parents...the ones who abandoned me on Yuri's front steps. I'm the one who was tortured all because of you people! I was the one who nearly died because of the both of you leaving on my own! I was the one climbing the ranks to become stronger so the iron bull whip wouldn't hurt much. I'm the one who earned the scars...all because of you!" I screamed in his face as tears ran down my face.
"You're not our daughter!"
"Yes she is father." I turned and looked at the fifteen year old boy. "What?" The mother asked quietly. "I disobeyed you and went to Makia...I read up on a girl named Phoenix Rin Yukiko Yuri...her. She looks just like you guys, and has all of your powers. I took a blood sample when she was in a cell about a month ago, and then came home. I did the same with you and took it to the doctors. They said it was a match." I let go of the father and went to the boy. "You did what?"
"You heard me...I had to they were always screaming at each other about this Amina girl talking about how could they just left you. I got tired of it. They tried to say you were dead, but I didn't believe that. I could feel you out there in some way I just knew I had to find you." He said as a tear ran down his face. "How could you disobey me! I told you not to worry about it!" The father screamed. "You did what!" The girls and mother said in unison. "I left her on purpose...we weren't ready for a child...and she had no soul because of the elders."
"How could you do that to me...John how could you say that someone took her from us, and know you gave her to some guy?" The mother asked backing away from him. "We weren't ready!"
I looked at the boy ignoring this, "You felt me out there...how?"
"I could feel how sad you were...I could hear what you wished and wanted." I smiled as one last tear ran down my face. "You are amazing." I said hugging him. "I'm just like you...nothing more." He stated hugging me back. "I can't believe you did that to me!" I heard Mother scream. I let go of the boy, and walked over to Father and Mother where Father was trying to get her to listen. "Calm down or you'll freeze me to death." I grabbed him, and pulled him away from Mother. "No...That's not the only thing you have to worry about Father!" I spoke snidingly. I threw him into a wall, and walked over to him. "SO that's the reason you left me...just because I had no soul! Because you thought you weren't ready!" I said picking him up by his shirt. "And you left me there no note...no picture, or anything to leave me thinking what did I do so wrong!" I said growling at him. "And I don't regret it." I threw him to the ground, and formed an ice dagger in my hand.
"I've worked as an assassin for an idiot who beat me over the last 22 years because you left me! Now I have to work for a group of people to keep them safe all because of you!" I screamed standing over him ready to plunge my dagger into his black heart when my Mother touched my shoulder. "No...It's not right to kill for revenge...only to protect your honor." I turned to her as just one pure tear ran down my face. "Mommy...I don't want to be alone anymore." I said dropping the dagger of ice causing it to shatter into pieces as it hit the ground. She wrapped her arms around me and pulled me into a hug. "You won't be alone anymore...not now since I've found you."
I hugged my Mother back, and wanted to stay that way forever; but forever was cut short as someone jabbed a sharp piece of what was left of my dagger into my back. I gasped at the pain. "John!" My Mother shrieked. "How dare you!" I heard Amaya scream from behind me. "Stay in your own business woman...I should've done something like this a long time ago!" I went limp, and was trying so hard to remain calm. My Father was pulled away from me and I could hear the fighting but not see it. Mother pulled the piece out of my back as a portal appeared behind her.
Kurama and the others stepped through to see the site. I was half out of it as my Mother sat down and held me in her arms on her lap. "Amaya do you have anything to stitch her up with?" Amaya shook her head. "I'm sorry...but I can heal her...it would be painful though." My Mother looked down at me. "It wouldn't be the worst I've been through." I assured her. She nodded to Amaya to do it, and laid me on the ground that was cold but still lovingly warm coated with my own blood.
Kurama came up to us and knelt down beside me. "Phoenix...my god what happened." My Mother explained it to him as I zoned in and out of consciousness. I finally went out of it as Amaya started healing me.
