Chapter 8
A trip down memory lane
While the men where fighting Kira and Yuki made their was into the castle. It no longer had a front gate, and it had a broken drawbridge. There was one tower still standing, and some of the outer wall was destroyed. Kira and Yuki decided to look at the inside of this mystery.
Kira: Well it has been in better condition.
Yuki: Every thing is trashed.
Kira: Do you want to help me clean it up?
Yuki: Just get you plants to do it.
Kira: Oh yeah I forgot she had some plants start to clean up It should be done soon. Hey there isn't anything in front to that door what to go check that one out?
Yuki: Sure.
They headed over to that door. It was about ten feet tall, and it was about to dissolve if some one touched it. They got the doors open and they did not fall or break. Inside the room was a bunch of window that over looked what seemed to be a wildly over grown garden and it also had a balcony and another set of stairs out side of it. There was a queen-sized bed off to one side it was covered in dust but you could still make out that it was covered in untouched material. It had a canopy over it and they where thick with mothballs. On another side, there was a wardrobe box, and a dresser there was also a fire place. Kira's jaw just dropped.
Kira: Surely I would have thought that they could have gotten into this room.
Yuki: What makes you say that?
Kira: Well it was my room after all.
Yuki: oh yeah huh? And above you was Youko's room. We would always take the back way to his room when we would play a joke on him.
Kira: Like that one time we put him in this dress? She was holding a very small red dress
Yuki: Yea like that one.
Kira: It was this one.
Kira and Yuki started to talk about that incident. (Flash Back, one of several)
Kira: Hey Yuki I'm bored do you have any cards.
Yuki: Not on me. I just got back from a raid
Kira: Oh what did you get?
Yuki: Well I got the king's staff thing and his robe, made of real silk. And this little dress I though it would look nice on you.
Kira: Better on Youko
Yuki: I've got make up in my room.
Kira: Get it and come back here, we can take the back entrance to his room. He was taking a nap last I heard and he usually takes long ones too.
Yuki: ok be right back.
Kira: I'll grab some hair pins to put in it. When we are done with him no guy will run in fear, but instead with lust.
Yuki: That's so wrong.
Kira: On so many levels too.
Yuki: Come on. I can hear him snoring.
Kira: Oh how cute he looks not as menacing in his sleep is he?
Yuki: He isn't going to look menacing at all when he wakes up either.
Kira took the dress off of the hanger and got Youko into with out waking him some how. She then prompted him up with pillows and played with his hair. She had put it in to braids and then into little flower looking things. She let two strands of hair fall on either side of his face, and then curled them. Yuki during this was applying the make up. She had lipstick, eye liner, blush, eye shadow, and cover up. He started to stir so the two of them grabbed the makeup and unused hair ties and what not and ran like no tomorrow. When they reached Kira's room they laughed and laughed. Kira fell to the floor clutching her stomach she was laughing so hard. Youko came down and stood in the door way as if he where a model.
Youko: So what do you think, how many guys do you think I can seduce with this get-up?
Kira: As many as you wanted to.
Yuki: Don't look at me!
Youko: Kira? Where do you get these ideas?
Kira: I don't know!
Yuki: You would have to stuff the dress though, just to make it look like you have something.
Youko: This doesn't leave the room ever. Nobody can know.
Kira: Aww but that's the fun of it.
Youko: Don't even think of it.
Yuki: fine you win.
Kira: this time
Youko: I have won all of the last ones too. And you should really make that skirt longer, it just screams rape me.
Kira: Pervert
Yuki: At least it wasn't me
Kira: He was looking there.
Youko: I shall see you at dinner.
Kira: Can I get a picture first? I just got this camera thing, and I think I know how to work it.
Yuki: Memories in still photo? Cool.
Kira: cheesey leesey
(End Flash Back)
Kira: Good times, good times. Now lets see where I put that picture? Oh yeah its on the back of a book under the bed.
Yuki: Wow they are really dukeing it out, out there.
Kira: Just as long as I can get my memory back and get out before they get me to come back.
Yuki: it might take longer than that.
Kira: Ah Ha I found it! Taking that with me for sure.
Yuki: Let go take a look at his room see if it is still in good shape.
Kira: 50$ says it is.
Yuki: Your on.
They took the back way to Youko's room, and to there surprise it looked like it was never touched. Plants where every where in the room, still green as ever, the sheets and what not looked as though they had been freshly washed, there was no dust any where.
Yuki: um do you think that you plants got here before us?
Kira: No they are just now getting to my room.
Yuki: Not much to do there.
Kira: Hey is that, that one group picture that we took when took the castle over?
Yuki: Yeah, and there is a picture behind it. Oh la la, he loved you then too.
Kira: blushes No way let me see that! How did he get this picture with out me know it? I was probably starting off in to space again as I usually did when we didn't go on a raid. How did he get the camera?
Yuki: He did, and he got that picture, and has treasured it by the looks of it.
Kira: changing the subject You owe me 50$
Yuki: Well that's one way to change the subject. hands over a 50$ bill
Kira: No I am not, I just remembered that.
Yuki: Hey my room is just down the hall way lets check that out, and I am not going to bet on it.
Kira: shoot.
They walk out of the room and into Yuki's room. It was untouched and some plants where giving the windows window treatments. Yuki walked out into the middle of her room and looked down.
Yuki: Well it looks like my portal doesn't work any more.
Kira: You made it didn't you?
Yuki: Yeah we used it a couple of times remember?
Kira: Yeah like when we went to that play with Youko disguised, they invited us the after party, and we had to do that karaoke.
(Flash back)
Kira: Hey look they have Karaoke!
Youko: I will not go up there.
Announcer: Ok we will be signing people up for the Karaoke. Come up if you want to do it.
Kira: Come on! Grabs Youko's hand
Youko: No.
Kira: Please dress up is worst
Youko: No I'm not going up there.
Kira: Fine I'll sing on by my self.
Kira walked up to the Karaoke and signed then walked on stage.
Yuki: Maybe they won't know the song
Youko: With her knowledge of music there is a song that they are bound to know that she knows too.
Kira: I have often dreamed
Of a far-off place
Where a great
Warm welcome
Will be waiting for me
Where the crowds
Will cheer
When they see my face
And a voice keeps saying
This is where I'm meant
to be
I will find my way
I can go the distance
I'll be there some day
If I can be strong
I know ev'ry mile
Will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere
To feel like I belong
I am on my way
I can go the Distance
I don't care how far
Somehow I'll be strong
I know ev'ry mile
Will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere
To find where I belong
The crowd cheered for her, and asked her for an encore. Youko's jaw had dropped slightly and Yuki was cheering her friend on like no minyana. (From The road to El Dorado no the song it was from Hercules) Kira took a bow and looked at her friends, she slightly blushed when she looked at Youko.
Yuki: You know she loves you too right?
Youko: I haven't and idea of what you speak.
(End Flash back)
Yuki: I told him that night that you loved him too.
Kira: You did what?
Yuki: Yeah I did.
Kira: Well that doesn't matter any more any way. Let us go to the treasure room there is some thing there that I want to get before we leave.
They walked out of Yuki's room and they saw Kurama and Hiei race into the room and then into Kira's room.
Kira: Hurry and be quiet about it, after this we must head to the temple of the golden sun. Then just disappear.
Yuki: For good? Nevertheless, we have lives ahead of us!
Kira: As different people, maybe as the royalty we are.
Yuki: But our families they hate one another!
Kurama: Kira! (He is in a different room)
Kira: Here I have it.
Yuki: That's that one tiara that he gave you.
Kira: It would be better if he forgot me.
Kurama: Kira! Wait!
Kira: Run! She waves her arm and a portal appears out of nowhere It will disappear as I go threw go ahead of me!
Kurama: Wait Kira! I.
Kira: I bid you adjure (you know the word that I mean) for this is the last. she stepped threw the portal.
Hiei: Where do you suppose they went?
Kurama: The temple, and it looks like she was trying to make me forget her. Picks up the tiara she must have dropped unintentionally. Come on if we go now we could beat them before they get to the sun and then they would come back.
Hiei: How will we get them to come back with out words?
Kurama: words repel them at this point, just being there will do.
They too took a portal and they appeared inside of the temple and just in time to see Kira and Yuki come into sight. Kira stopped for a moment and then broke into a run again and went right into Kurama's arms crying. He was holding her when Yuki came up, then all of the sudden Prince William came out of no where.
P.W.: Colin and Jimmy couldn't kill you two so I will. He held his palm toward Kurama and Hiei. Come along Kira, we must not waste time on such common folk. You too Yuki. My brother awaits you're arrival you been arranged to marry him. He seemed to have hooked an invisible rope around Kira and Yuki because they slowly where being dragged away from their lovers.
Kira: The day I marry you is the day I die you bastered.
P.W.: What do you mean. Make one move and he dies along with his friend here.
Kurama: How did you get here?
P.W.: A little blue bird helped me.
Hiei: You kidnapped Botan?
P.W.: That is such a harsh word, I more like borrowed her for a little while.
Kurama: You where be hind the hole thing weren't you?
P.W.: Yes I was, nice of you to notice. Well we must be going now, what the crap.
Kira and Yuki started to glow a golden color as they came with in 20 ft. of the prince. Then suddenly the started to rise the prince threatened the girls but they couldn't do any thing.
Kurama: They can't do anything about it so put you hands down. It's the Kitsune's sky, it had felt the need to once again come into the open.
P.W.: What the crap it that thing! he pointed to the two semi circles that where coming out of Kira and Yuki.
Kurama: He took this as his chance to attack P.W. he had a death plant eat him.
Hiei: Yuki!
Kurama: Kira!
The two girls started to fall once the two halves connected. It slowly floated down and hung its self around Kira's neck. Kurama slightly smiled and made a portal strait to Genkia's dojo, where every one awaited them. Hiei walked in first with Yuki and then Kurama with Kira. Nobody even asked about the prince. Until he showed up in the news a few days later. Kira and Yuki are sleeping now and have been like that for 2 days.
Chapter 9
Love's new foe
Kira awoke in one of the spear bedrooms that Genkia had and saw that there where lights on either side of the room, one was brighter than the other so she thought that no one would be in the darker area so she went out that way. She was now in her human form and had a short white kimono on it came to about mid-thigh. She opened the door and walked out and a breeze blew by, she smiled and closed the door behind her. She looked up and saw Kurama over by the roses messing around with one he had just cut in full bloom and purple in color. Kira walked up to him and sat down next to him. A bit startled he glanced to who had joined his company. He noticed it was Kira and kissed her on the forehead.
Kira: I'm sorry for running.
Kurama: I swore that I wouldn't lose you ever.
Kira: But still I ran, and tried to make you forget me.
Kurama: Even if you took everything that reminded me of you I still won't forget you. I don't know that I could.
Kira: fiddling with necklace but still.
Kurama: Hush, I won't hear any more.
Kira: I'm just glad I remembered it all.
Kurama: puts the rose in Kira's hair. even if you hadn't you wouldn't have pick the prince anyway.
Kira: I guess your right.
Kurama: I see that the Kitsune's sky once again belongs to you.
Kira: Yeah, I suppose so
Kurama: hahaha
Kira: OK so I told a little lie, I don't remember ever little thing. Like how the castle got destroyed.
Kurama: Some hunters had found the castle you two where fighting and some one sent a spear threw Yuki and you guard went down then they sent a sword threw you, and if you soul just floated there for a second you would have been furious I know it.
Kira: Why?
Kurama: It was you favorite dress.
Kira: Is that all I wore, short little dresses?
Kurama: Pretty much unless it was really cold.
Kira: oh. hums softly
Kurama: what song is that?
Kira: Once upon a December, its from Anastasia the Disney movie.
Kurama: You like those Disney movies don't you?
Kira: Not the movie its self more the songs
Kurama: Ah, I see
Kira: Dancing bears,
Painted wings,
Things I almost remember,
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December.
Someone holds me safe and warm.
Horses prance through a silver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory...
Someone holds me safe and warm.
Horses prance through a silver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory...
Far away, long ago,
Glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart
Used to know,
Things it yearns to remember...
And a song
Someone sings
Once upon a December
Kurama: A lovely voice as always.
Kira: bushes
Kurama: Should we go in and see the others?
Kira: Its going to be too loud, I like it better out here.
Kurama: Your plants fixed the whole castle up it looks bran new.
Kira: Really?
Kurama: Would you like to see?
Kira: This seems like a dream to me.
Kurama: Come on I'll show you.
The two of them left as Yuki awoke in their room.
Yuki: How long have I been out Hiei?
Hiei: A few days, you let you energy drain when the Kitsune's Sky came out of you,
Yuki: We are at Genkia's right? Wait did you say Kitsune's Sky?
Hiei: yes, and yes.
Yuki: And what happened to the prince?
Hiei: Kurama killed him.
Yuki: I suppose it is on the news too.
Hiei: It all it ever talks about.
Yuki: Hiei I.
Hiei: I know, you talk in you sleep.
Yuki: notuh
Hiei: shh.
Yuki: Kira an Kurama are together aren't they?
Hiei: Yes he gets off his chair and is squatting in front of Yuki
Yuki: At home?
Hiei: would you like to go? strokes her face
Yuki: What would the others say?
Hiei: They won't know. kisses her
Yuki: Hiei I
Hiei: Any time you are ready. backs off a little
Yuki: We can go there and finish this.
Hiei: Are you sure?
Yuki: Never been this sure in me life.
Hiei and Yuki take a portal and end up in Yuki's room, I'm not going to go into that part of the story though. Its been three years since The SDs went to that ball, every one has taken on normal lives not much has happened in the demon or spirit world if anything does happen Kira and Yuki squash it like a bug and are back before any one notices that they are gone. Yusuke managed to graduate High School, and has a very well paying job and he proposed to Keiko three months ago, Kuwahara is working at a casino and he and Yukina are about to have there 2 year dating anniversary in a day or two. Koenma doesn't have as much work these days and he finally asked Botan out. She was in a super good mood that day, and she had no idea what to do, so she ran to Kira and Yuki for help. Kira and Yuki have been the best of friend and are still with Kurama and Hiei. Kurama is studding abroad, Hiei got a job thanks to Yuki and they all live in the hotel. To be continued...
