" Damn, that's not fair. How can Shizuro do that to us." Screamed Kippei while walking into the room him and the others usually occupied.
" God. I knew he was up to something, but not something this bad." Said Reiji taking a seat on the couch.
" How would any of us know he would replace us with those mad built monsters." Explained Kenichi closing the door.
" Who order that to be done?" asked Kippei looking at the both of them.
" Well I heard the order came from Topaz." Said Reiji.
"Topaz, what does he have against us. Shit. Shizuro going to need at least me if he's planning to get revenge." Said Kippei.
"Indeed it's not normal of Shizuro to take orders from someone else." Said Kenichi seating next to Reiji.
" I think it's because he's older and was one of my father's loyal subjects, and second because my brother secretly adores him." Said Reiji looking up into the ceiling.
" He adores that creep. Give me a break." Said Kippei with a pout.
" You know there's been rumors going around that theirs someone in our court who's trying to overrun our prince." Said Kenichi.
" No way." Said Kippei and Reiji at the same time.
" Yes, so we have a threat in the mist. We must take precaution." Said Kenichi.
" Ok, let's go see what else we can come up with." Said Reiji. "Meet back here tomorrow. We can't tell the prince, but we must kept an eye on him for his own safety."
"Kay." Said Kippei.
"Right." Said Kenichi.
They left their separate ways unaware that the danger was very close to surfacing.
Yu-Yu-Hakusho Mansion
"Lord ……..This girl ……….."Where is that voice coming from Chiisuteru ran threw the darkness till she saw a figure. Kurama what is he doing here. She walked over from behind him to get a better view. She saw he was talking to someone It's me " Let this one angel stay here on Earth with me….. Please just spare her" Angel? Is he really talking about me? She looked at him. His face was a feature she never seen before. He looks like he's……he's serious. She started laughing. Must be a joke, but it sure looks like he was talking to me, why I am sleeping? She looked at her dream self and back at him. "My angel, I..." I what? What is it you want to tell me Kurama. She looked at him . He had stopped there right in front of her dream face. It seemed like hours he was staring at her. He's got that weird look in his eyes. What is he up to? Chiisuteru went up towards herself and tried waking her self-up. Come on . WAKE UP! She yelled. Nothing happen instead Kurama slowly moved towards her dream face and kissed her lips. He…..he just kissed me. Wait, not me me, but my dream me. This is just a dream, that's it. I just have to pinch myself and……..
(Being shaked very violently) "WHAT…WHOSE THERE?" yelled Chiisuteru jumping out of bed and slapping the person in front of her.
"It's six thirty and it's time for you to get up for your lessons. I'm not doing this everyday."
Chiisuteru rubbed her eyes and noticed it was Hiei. He was wearing his usually fighting clothes and looked very pissed. Across his right cheek was a HUGE red handprint.
" Hiei, I'm so sorry." She said crawling out of the bed towards him. "I'm so sorry. I was having a umm…weird dream. Gomen."
" Girls and their dreams. Should I bother asking what it was about?" Hiei looked at her, her face speechless. "You know what, I don't want to know. Get dressed, I'll wait outside."
Hiei left the room holding his face saying something on the lines like " Never doing this again." Chiisuteru took a deep sigh. She didn't mean to smack him, especially in the face. She was just a little shocked over her dream what a way to start the day off She went to her closet and pulled out a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt with sparkles on the front. When she came out Hiei immediately said " No, not those clothes."
"Why not, you're not still mad at me I said sorry?"
" I'M NOT MAD." He yelled
" You sure look it." She replied.
"It's just you can't move swiftly in clothes that tight. Wait here."
He left and went to a nearby closet and pulled some clothes out. Then he came back and gave it to her. "Wear this." Chiisuteru took the clothes, walked back into her room and put them on."
" Is this better?" she asked coming out.
"Hump. Follow me." He said walking away.
He is still mad. God. Chiisuteru followed. Wonder if this was really a good idea. Man I'm hungry. Maybe later I could have some pancakes with honey and then syrup with a big glass….
"Would you stop it." Said Hiei
" Stop what I didn't say anything…Wait…were you reading my thoughts?" she asked.
" NO……………well eat after you done training." He said
" He was reading my thoughts that Bastard." She said in a whisper.
"It just happens. I can't help it." He replied.
"Whatever." Said Chiisuteru. Really bad idea
They continue walking till they got to a large door. When Hiei opened the door Chiisuteru was amazed to see a very large training room. "Wow, it's huge." She said.
"Come over here." Said Hiei.
She came over to where he was. He pulled out his Kanata and showed it to her. " I guess we start off with how to properly hold a sword. You take it in your hands like this."
Chiisuteru watched him as he placed his hands on the correct part of the sword. She lifted her own in her hand and tried to follow.
"That's wrong. Your wrist should be pointing outward not in." said Hiei.
Chiisuteru tried moving her hands but couldn't manage. "Urgh, it may be light, but this is like playing the guitar my hands can't twist that way." She explained.
Hiei placed his sword on the ground and sighed. " Here let me help." He walked over towards her. Wrapping his hands around her he gently moved her hands to the right position on the sword. "Now I want you to left it up a little like around your shoulders and swing it down to your waist." Said Hiei. Chiisuteru moved the sword up with her hands on top of Hiei's and swung it down and backup. "That's it." Said Hiei unwrapping himself from her. " Kept doing that motion about four hundred times and you can go eat."
"WHAT! Your kidding four hundred times can't I go easy like maybe fifty." She said.
" No, four hundred, if you kept complaining I'll double it." Said Hiei.
No fair, definitely not a good day She thoughtShe swung up then down One
Hours later
Man this is tiring. Just then her stomach growled. Urgh, I'm so hungry!.
"Giving up already." said Hiei walking up towards her.
" No, just resting." She said looking away.
" Hmm, ok I'll be done soon. I say about half an hour."
"What!" She said.
Hiei then grabbed his sword. He walked back to his spot and vigorously started swinging his sword. He was doing it so fast Chiisuteru lost count on what number he was on.
Maybe I should give up. DAMN! NO! I don't want that jerk to get the better of me. She thought.
She stood up and began swinging her sword again. At around two hundred her hands started to sting, but she continued. She kept swinging till she couldn't hold the sword any longer. When it fell to the ground she noticed it was stained red. Why is it red Looking at her hands she saw they were bleeding. The blood poured freely from it, trickling down to stain her clothes. I didn't even notice it was hurting, I thought I was just sore. Man I wish I could stop, but I'm just on two hundred and seventy two
Off in the distance she noticed Hiei. He had already finished, like promised, and was now taking a nap Damn him! He didn't have to be so harsh and I promised him a painting. How the hell can I paint with my hands like this?
She tore the edges of her pants off and wrapped her hands with them. Well, I'll finish. First reason, I'm starving, second, I want to take a shower, and third, I want to prove to him I'm no quitter. She picked up her sword which now lay on the ground and started swinging it again. She did this for another two hours with Hiei still sleeping. Swinging up then down. When she finally finished she fell on the ground. She was drenched in sweat and the wrappings around her hands were soaked in blood. Everything was dizzy and she felt so light headed. Just then Hiei woke up. His head slowly lifting as he rose from the cold floor of his slumber. When he noticed Chiisuteru on the ground he quickly ran up towards her. God. I thought she would have given up. I didn't think she would actually do it. Kurama is going to kill me
Chiisuteru looked at him smiling. Her head was spinning so fast the when she saw him he looked like he was doing a very bad dance. Just spinning around and around. "Hey, Hiei, Would you stop dancing it's making me dizzy."
She fainted. God, and she thought I was dancing. She really must be out of it. Thought Hiei carefully picking her up and dragging her out the door.
When she awoke she was back in her bedroom. She was dressed in fresh clothes and her hands were newly bandaged. In front of her was a very nice smelling breakfast. Then her door opened and in walked Botan.
" Good morning, sunshine," said Botan. " You did quite a number on yourself princess."
"Is that food mine." Asked Chiisuteru.
"Yes, yes, here" said Botan handing it to her. " You know poor Hiei had to drag you here all by himself. For a small guy like him it wasn't easy. When he told me what happened I took everything into my own hands." Said Botan.
" Really?" said Chiisuteru shoving some toast into her mouth. He deserved it
"Oh yes, and when Kurama found out he was so angry. The first thing he did was tried to care for your wounds, but I shooed him away. So in the meanwhile he made the food you're eating now."
"I have to go thank him. I really hope I didn't cause too many trouble. I was just training that's all." Said Chiisuteru.
" No, no, don't worry. Go. I'll clean up ok. " Said Botan.
"Thanks." Said Chiisuteru.
She hurried downstairs. She wanted to tell Hiei off, and also thank Kurama for the food. Despite the fact what he did in a dream. He still didn't do anything for real so she didn't have much to worry. Luckily she found the both of them in the Den (Library).
"Hiei four hundred. What were you thinking?" shouted Kurama.
" I thought it was a reasonable amount." Said Hiei.
" For you not her." Explained Kurama placing his hand on his head.
Chiisuteru walked in and the both of them were silent. Hiei gave Kurama a look and Kurama did the same.
" Up. Finally." Said Hiei walking up towards her.
Kurama gave him a glare. Hiei just ignored it and walked towards the door.
"It's ok. I wanted to say I would like to continue my training. It was hard, but I can do it." Said Chiisuteru.
"That's great. Same time tomorrow then." Said Hiei leaving the room.
"Hiei, don't make it to much." Said Kurama running after him.
" Sure, if that will quiet you down Kitsune." Said Hiei as he walked down the hall.
" I'm sorry, he usually doesn't act this way." Said Kurama bowing.
" Why are you apologizing It's ok. Anyway, thank you for breakfast." Said Chiisuteru grabbing his hand.
Kurama looked at her bandaged hands. "Does it hurt?" he asked.
" If someone were to slap them, yeah, but I'm fine Kurama. " said Chiisuteru. " Don't worry, why even worry. It's my problem."
Kurama was quite. "I care for you." He said.
"So does everyone else, and thinking about it, I bet my foster parents miss me tons. I never got to say goodbye to them. My whole world has changed in a matter of weeks. Kurama don't forget I'm not staying here long. You got to remember that Koenma plans on putting me somewhere else. I don't need sympathy it's no good where I'll be going…. wherever that is." Said Chiisuteru looking away from him. And even if you like me. I don't think I will be able to make you happy.
" I didn't mean it that way." Said Kurama coming up to her.
Chiisuteru placed her hand on his cheek. "Dear Kurama I thank you and the others for taking care of me and I……I." Chiisuteru started slipping to the floor.
"Hey, Chiisuteru!" Said Kurama grabbing hold of her. " What's wrong? Do you feel all right?"
" I don't know I can't feel my hands or feet anymore." Kurama looked at her. Her face had suddenly turned pale and her body was slowly fading away.
"Kurama, I'm scared what's happening?" she asked. While her trembling fingers tried touching his hand.
" Chiisuteru, stay awake." He said shaking her lightly in his arms, but she continued to drift away until she had totally vanished. He lay there quietly. Shocked on what just happened. Everything was quite until Yusuke walked by.
" Kurama what are you doing." He asked coming up towards him.
Kurama slowly faced him his face pale. " She's gone…. Yusuke she disappeared." With that he clasped.
"Oh, god, my body feels so tingly." Said Chiisuteru slowly standing up. " Where am I? What just happened?" She touched her body. " I don't feel sick anymore and I'm still in one piece." She looked around at her surrounding. Everything around her was pitch black only the small area she was at had a ray of light. Standing up she yelled. "Hello, anyone there." No one answered as her voice echoed threw the darkness. Damn. It's like a curse. Everything always happens to me.
"You've grown my little one."
"Who's there show yourself?"
Out of the shadows came a woman. She had a long white gown dressed with diamonds and crystal. Her hair was a wavy blond and long. She had the same color eyes like Chiisuteru a dark brown. She stepped lightly and with grace towards her.
" What a lady you have become if only I was able to embrace you." Said the women.
" Who are you?" asked Chiisuteru.
" Oh, yes it would be too much to ask for you to remember." The women bowed. " My name is Constella Queen of Thiele."
"Your, you're my mother." She said walking up towards her.
"Yes, I am little one. "said Constella.
"That's amazing. I mean, nice to meet you, but how did I get her?" asked her daughter.
"Well, before I was killed I gave you two gifts. The first was the Jewel and the second was a tattoo of the royal mark."
"That's impossible I have neither." Said Chiisuteru.
"But you do, the jewel has always been by your side and the tattoo has always been on your wrist. Take a look."
Chiisuteru looked down at her wrist and saw a tattoo of a crescent moon with a small crown in the middle of it.
"No way is this the first time I know of it." She said.
"It only shows itself when necessary." Her mother replied.
"I think I understand, but you still didn't answer my question. How did I get here?"
" I called you hear. I have something important to tell you." Her mother said.
"What is it?" she asked.
"Kurama, hey Kurama wake up." Said Yusuke.
" Kurama come on. " said Kuwabara.
Very slowly Kurama woke. Gently opening his eyes to see the worried faces of his friends. He stood using the offering hand Yusuke presented. "Where's Chiisuteru." He said.
"When I found you she wasn't there." What happened?" asked Yusuke while giving Kurama a glance.
" I was talking to her and the next minute she said she wasn't feeling well and she disappeared. Guys we have to find her." Pleaded Kurama.
" Don't worry fox. Koenma is on it." Said Hiei walking into the room with a mug. " Her drink this." He said giving it to Kurama.
Kurama took the cup in his hands and sipped on its warming pleasure.
" Don't worry so much Kurama. We all know you like her so don't get all jumpy and protective. She's not yours yet." Said Yusuke slapping his back.
Kurama swallowed hard on his drink, and was coughing for a few minutes. Afterward he gave them a weary smile and said. " That obvious?"
" Ya man." Said Yusuke shaking his head.
" Then why can't she see that." Said Kurama looking at his empty mug.
" It's because she's a girl, and girls see love differently than men. So she probably doesn't even know." Said Kuwabara.
"When did you know so much about women?" asked Hiei giving him a raised eyebrow.
" I'm Kuwabara man of LOVE and I know everything about it." He said swinging his hand into his chest. " So ask me anything you'll like and I'll help."
Everyone gave him a look and then just walked out of the room. " Hey!" he yelled after them.
" I brought you here so you could understand." Said her mother.
"Understand what?"
"Running away is not going to help you."
Chiisuteru looked at her mom with her mouth hanging open. "I'm not running away from anything."
" If that is your answer. Then our bloodline shall die."
"What! The bloodline will die. What are you saying?" she said.
"You'll understand soon. Only time will tell us of your future" Said her mother. She placed her hand right over Chiisuteru's forehead. Then a bright light showed threw her and she was gone, and Chiisuteru was know glancing at her bedroom door. It felt like a dream, but looking at her wrist she knew it wasn't.
