Chapter 4: Surprise, surprise!
Disclaimer: yeah, I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho tear
It was dark, darker than night and Mika found herself floating it the mists of this black abyss.
"Where am I" she said looking around.
All of a sudden a light appears before her and, to her astonishment, speaks.
"Hello Mika"
"Who, or what, are you? And where am I!" she says, freaking out a tad.
"I am a peaceful spirit, and this is your subconscious" the ball of light says kindly.
"Um…….oooook………." a completely confused Mika responds.
"Let me ask you something," the spirit says, "do you know why you have those powers?"
After pondering for a bit, Mika replies, "actually, I don't. I just thought it was some default in my birth"
"No, those powers weren't just randomly given to you, you where chosen to have them. Do you know why?"
"Obviously not" Mika says a little annoyed.
"You, Mika, have been chosen to be the next Savior" the spirit says with glee.
"The savior of what?" she says, becoming more and more confused
The spirit laughs a bit and says, "The savior of mankind. You have been chosen to protect the balance between the human demon worlds."
Mika contemplates this for a second before she begins to laugh, "You have got to be kidding me! This is all just some crazy dream that will just disappear when I wake up!"
"You are the savior, you have the mark" the spirit continues.
"What mark?"
"Look at your hand."
Mika does as she's told and sure enough there was an imprint of a blue crescent moon on the top of her hand. "No way!"
"Well my job here is done, for now at least. I shall speak with you again Mika. Farwell!" and with that the light slowly fades away.
Mika immediately wakes up and looks around her room, "Good, it was just a dream." All of a sudden she feels a burning sensation on her hand. She looks to see the same mark as the one from her dream, "NO WAY!" She jumps from her bed and runs out of her room, down the hall, and bursts into Koenma's office.
"Hello Mika. Do you need something?" he asks.
Mika walks up to his desk and shows him her hand, "What the hell does this mean!"
Koenma's eyes widen as he stares at the mark, "Why………that's the mark of the savior! But why would it be on your hand?"
"I had a dream last night of this light thingy that said I was the savior. Then she put this mark on my hand. When I woke up the same mark was there!"
"If this is true, and you really are the next savior, then things have just become more complicated." Koenma says, resting his head on his hands.
"Why? What's wrong?"
"When the savior is awakened again every demon in demon world can feel it. That means that most of them are going to come after you" he says completely serious.
Just then Hiei and Kurama come running into the room.
"Koenma! The savior has awakened again!" Kurama says frantically.
"Yeah, and guess what, you're looking at her!" Mika shouts.
At the mention of this Hiei and Kurama go into a small bit of shock.
"See, they both got that feeling, and so will every other demon" Koenma says, completely worried.
"Great, just great," Mika says walking back to the door, "I'm gonna go try and eat some breakfast, you might want to fill these two in" she says and she leaves.
"Wait! There's on more thing I need to tell you!" but it was too late because she was already gone, "Oh poo, I'll just have to tell you guys. It's probably better if she doesn't know quite yet."
Back in the kitchen Mika pours her some coffee and goes over in her head what just happened. "And I thought my life couldn't get any weirder" she says to herself. She finishes her coffee and walks back up to her room to figure out what the hell she's gonna do.
Later that afternoon Mika gets a knock on her door.
"Come in" she says, face down in her pillow. The door opens and in walks Kurama.
"Hey Mika, can the guys and I have a word with you?" he asks politely.
Mika sighs and gets up off her bed, "Sure, I guess we have to huh." They both head back down stairs and into the living room and sit down on the couch.
"So what's on your mind?" Mika asks.
"Koenma filled us in about you being the savior" Yusuke says.
"He also said that it was strange that the savior would turn up now when it's not time yet." Kurama continues.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Well, every one thousand years a savior is born to protect the balance between demons and humans," Kurama begins to explain, "The strange thing is that it hasn't been one thousand years since the last savior yet."
"So then why am I the savior if it isn't time yet?"
"We're not completely sure, but Koenma thinks that something bad is in the works and that the only thing that can stop it is the savior" Kurama finishes.
"Gee, no pressure, but that still doesn't explain why I was chosen" Mika says.
"We did a little snooping around in your family history and the last savior was related to you" says Yusuke.
"One person from your family is chosen to be the savior every thousand years" Kurama states.
"Wow, who would've thunk it. So what am I supposed to do? Koenma said that demons are gonna start coming after me, not that I'm scared or anything" says a brave Mika.
"That's where we come in!" Kuwabara says enthusiastically.
"Koenma has also told us that it is up to us to protect you, so when you need to fulfill your duties you'll be alive and ready" says Kurama.
"Now that I won't go along with" Mika says all determined.
"Why not?" asks Yusuke.
"I don't want to have to rely on you guys for protection. It would make me feel weak. Plus, that would be putting you in danger and I don't want that."
"Your safety is our top priority now. We can't let you get hurt or killed" says Kurama protectively.
"Great, now I feel like a wimpy, helpless, girly girl," Mika says as she gets up and heads for the door, "I'm gonna go train. When you see Hiei tell him I'm blowing stuff up out back" and with that she leaves with a wave.
"Why is she so mad at us!" Kuwabara asks all confused and such, "We're trying to help her!"
"Get it through your thick head Kuwabara, not all girls like to be saved" Yusuke says, smacking him on the head, "By the way Kurama, wasn't Hiei supposed to be apart of this meeting?"
"Yes, but he disappeared after we left Koenma's office," Kurama replied, "I wonder where he wandered off to?"
Outside on the training field Mika continued to lash out at the targets with her fire. The thought of her being saved by men made her blood boil with rising anger. It's not that she didn't like the guys; it's just that she hated being looked upon as weak. The fire within her rushed through her veins giving her more strength and power. One after another she burned the targets to the ground until there were none left standing.
"Nothing like a good work out to get the heart pumping" Mika says to herself as she dusts herself off.
"You know, you really shouldn't rely on anger when you're fighting" Hiei says with a smirk as he walks over to her.
"Hey Hiei, can I ask you something?"
"Hn, sure, what is it?"
"Can you teach me how to fight with a sword?"
"Hn, I don't see why not," he says as he goes to grab two practice swords, "First, lets see what you got."
Mika laughs and says, "Ok, this should be fun!"
And so it begins. Mika and Hiei go back and forth taking swipes and one another. Mika, for a beginner, is exceptionally good at blocking all of Hiei's attacks until he moves so fast that she doesn't have time to block and is shoved up against a tree.
"Hn, not bad, but I win"
"Only because you used your speed against me," she says with a glare, "Now would you be so kind as to let me go?" He removes his sword from her and steps away from the tree, "Thank you." All of a sudden her cell phone starts ringing.
"I didn't know you guys get service down here?" she says astonished and she fishes her cell phone out of her pocket.
"Guess so" says Hiei with no emotion what so ever.
Mika answers her cell only to hear Kage yelling at her.
"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!"
"Hello to you too Kage! What's up?" Mika says with a smile.
"What's up? WHAT'S UP! YOU'VE BEEN GONE FOR THREE DAYS AND ALL YOU CAN SAY IS "WHAT'S UP"!"
Mika holds her phone away from her ear while Kage continues to yell at her.
"He sure is happy to hear from you" Hiei says.
"Oh yeah, can you tell?" she replies, and then turning her attention back to her chipmunk-sounding friend, "I'm sorry to worry you like that Kage. How bout I stop by your house around midnight tonight?"
Finally done screaming Kage asks, "Why midnight?"
"Because I can't be seen."
"Ok, you promise?" he asks in a kid like voice.
"Yes, and I'll tell you everything" Mika replies.
"Ok, see you tonight" and with that he hangs up the phone.
"Sooo, how exactly are you getting back to human world?" Hiei asks.
"With you of course!" she says all perky and such.
Completely pissed, he replies, "And how could I be any sort of service to you?"
"You can make me a portal! Just like the one used to get to my house!"
"Hn, that was all Koenma's doing"
"Ooooohh……………then I'll just go ask Koenma!" she says grabbing him by the arm, "Come on!" she says as she drags him with her back to the castle.
Back in Koenma's office Mika storms in dragging poor Hiei behind her, "KOENMA! I NEED TO ASK YOU SOMETHING!" she shouts.
"Mika!" Koenma says as he falls of his chair from the surprise, "I was in the middle of a conversation! Knock next time will ya!"
"Opps, who were you talking with?" she says looking around. Doing so she spots a blue haired girl in a pink kimono.
"Hello! My name's Botan and I'm the grim reaper!" she says with a huge smile.
"Really, you don't seem so grim to me?" Mika says while taking all the bright colors of Botan's outfit.
"I know, but I thought that death was grim enough so I decided to lighten it up a bit!" she says bouncing up and down.
"Hahaha, that awesome!" she says, then turning back to Koenma, "So, Koenma, I need to go back to the human world for a bit."
"What for?" he asks, extremely curious.
"My friend wants to see me one last time so I thought I could pay him a visit!"
"Well…………ok, but someone has to go with you," he says, and then notices that Hiei just so happens to be in the room, "Hiei, since you're conveniently here you'll go with her."
"Hn, what a surprise" he says as he continues to sulk and glare at everyone.
"Oh! You can fly right?" Botan asks Mika.
"Yup!"
"Then here, take my extra oar. It will be easier to travel with the two of you" she says handing it to her.
"Thanks Botan!" Mika says as she then turns to Koenma, "Portal please!" With the portal open Mika grabs Hiei's arm again and they both jump in and disappear.
In the human world Hiei and Mika get dumped out of the portal by Mika's house.
"Hold up, I want to go see how they're doing" she says as she makes her way to the backyard. She slowly creeps up to the back porch and looks through the window. What she sees makes her want to cry. Her parents and her little brother are laughing and watching a movie. Hiei looks in as well and actually shows a little bit of sympathy for Mika.
"They're……………happy," she says quietly, "they don't even miss me."
Hiei puts his hand on her shoulder and whispers a quiet "sorry".
Mika feels tears in her eyes but she holds them back, not wanting to show her weaker side. "This is what I've always wanted, for my family to be happy. I guess I never realized that the only reason they weren't was because of me. I'll just have to accept it," she says as she turns around and walks back off the porch and on to the lawn, "Let's go." She sits on the oar, Hiei climbs on, and they head up and off towards Kage's.
