Chapter Two: First Impressions
Yusuke and Kuwabara casually walked into the mansion, expecting to be charged by a mob of demons, but as they continued further into the mansion nothing broke the eerie silence around them. 'It's too quiet...' Yusuke thought to himself quickly turning a corner. "Where is everyone? I see cameras, but there aren't any demons attacking us..."
Kuwabara paused to think, then replied "Maybe they're all in one big room waiting for us to get there, 'cause they know that they can't beat us one at a time!" He smiled proud of his answer.
"That's possible, but why not just send all the demons after us at once, instead of letting us get further inside the mansion?" Kuwabara frowned at this new information, Yusuke was right, there was no reasonable explanation for this and the silence in the household was uncanny.
"What if someone got here first? Maybe they got to the room with the mob of demons and were killed, and then Legardored thought that those were the spirit detectives that were sent after him." Kuwabara stated, thinking that would make some of this a little clearer.
"Well whatever happened here wasn't a good thing. I think we should hurry up and find out what happened and rescue that kid..." Yusuke said, before taking off at a high speed down the hall, Kuwabara trailing behind him.
Twenty minutes later Kuwabara stood leaning against a door panting, Yusuke standing beside him bent over with his hands resting on his knees. They had been in every room in that mansion except for the one behind the door Kuwabara was leaning on.
Kuwabara stood up straight his eyes fixed on Yusuke, "C'mon Urameshi this is the only room we haven't been in! He's bound to be in here." Yusuke nodded standing up and walking over to Kuwabara.
Both rekai tantei stood before the door, glancing at each other before charging through the big mahogany doors, both boys stopped dead at the sight before them. On the floor lay the dismembered bodies of about fifty demons; whose blood decorated both the floors and the walls, as well as some spattered spots on the high ceiling above their heads.
"Wha-what the... hell happened here...?" Yusuke questioned, walking further into the room.
"I dunno... But whatever it was it sure wasn't pleasant for these guys..." Kuwabara stated, before noticing the intact body of a rather handsome blond in one of the corners of the room. "Urameshi look! There's still someone alive!"
Yusuke turned and spotted the man Kuwabara was pointing to, quickly running over to him he checked to make sure that Kuwabara's assumption had been correct, apparently it had been. Lifting the upper half of the man's body from the ground he attempted to wake him up, eventually getting annoyed and slapping him across the face, Yusuke smirked when the man's eyes bolted open and he sat up frantically looking around the room.
"Hey man, what happened here?" Yusuke questioned causing him to jump and face them, his yellow eyes wide with fright.
"Wh-where are they!" He yelled at them, quickly backing away, "Where did those demons go!"
"Demons?" Yusuke paused, 'Hiei and Kurama!' "Hey dude could you tell me what these demons looked like?"
The man stared at him for a long time, as if trying to figure out if he could trust the two teenage boys before him. Sighing he replied, "One of them had long fiery red hair and calculating green eyes...The other had black spikey hair and was rather short..."
Yusuke smirked, "I knew it... Hey dude...What's your name?"
"L-Legardored..." He stuttered, backing away slightly when the looks on both boys' faces changed.
Yusuke sat on the bus beside Kuwabara, both boys watching as the trees slowly thinned and turned into a long stretch of highway leading into the city. Yusuke sighed, he had hoped this would have been easy, but now he had to tell Koenma that someone had beaten them to Legardored's mansion and from the description the man had given them it was most likely Hiei and Kurama. Then after that Koenma would make them go check on the two demons' and hopefully manage to get the kid away from them and back to Koenma, who would then return the boy to the makai. 'Oh well better get it over with...'
His eyes flickered open for a second, revealing nothing more that a dark blurry shape around him, slowly opening his eyes he watched as the room around became clearer, exposing an unfamiliar room to his groggy mind. 'Where am I?' He questioned himself, sitting up on the comfy bed beneath him; he slowly looked around the room. The bed he was sitting on was stationed in the middle of the room against the back wall, deep red satin sheets flowing neatly off either side of it. To his right was a bedside table, stationed on top of it was an alarm clock, a lamp and a book that was titled 'Herbology', continuing along that wall he soon found that the wall adjacent from him had an open window on it, black curtains swaying in the cool night breeze, giving him a view of the large tree outside it. His eyes landed on the wall across from him, this wall was rather plain adorning only as bookshelf that was littered with books and a door that had light seeping through the small space between it and the floor. He turned to the right side of the room and noticed a closet door and nothing else. Turning to the right side of the wall that the bed was on he saw a desk with a book bag and a few papers neatly piled upon it.
His eyes darted back to the door, the sound of footsteps and people talking drawing nearer every second, he glanced around the room frantically finding a place to hide, not finding one he quickly lied down, hoping that who ever it was would think he was sleeping.
He heard a soft click and then a small creak as the door opened the voices growing louder now that there was nothing drowning them out, once inside the room the door was closed behind them, the two voices stopping their chatter as they approached the bed. He could feel their eyes on him and it unnerved him to think that the people above him could be perverted freaks that only wanted his body. He tensed slightly when he felt the satin sheets slipping off his bare chest, the sheets stopping once his chest and abdomen were showing, why was it he hadn't noticed that he was undressed?
Soft fingers caressed his cheek before slowly running along his chest until they rested upon a bandage covering his abdomen. He could feel the bandages slowly being removed and, fearing the worst, prepared himself for a fight, but that hands never went any lower than his abdomen as they lightly pressed upon a wound across it, a small sigh escaping the man's lips before he spoke. "Hiei, pass me that herb please..."
A grunt could be heard as a response before the sound of someone crossing the room reached his ears. What was going on?
Hiei did as he was told, returning to Kurama's side with the herb in hand; he watched intently as Kurama squeezed the herb, letting small drops of liquid land on the cut across his brothers abdomen, before rebinding the wound.
It was then that he noticed his brother's breathing pattern; the boy was pretending to be asleep. Nudging Kurama he connected a mental link letting him know; Kurama nodded in understanding then with Hiei pretended to leave the room, using their stealth to make it seem as if they had left.
He heard the two stand up and head towards the door, followed by the familiar creak then the click of the door closing behind them. He lied there for a bit longer, making sure that they were no longer in the room before opening his eyes.
"Eep!" A small squeal of surprise escaped his lips when he opened his crimson eyes only to find a pair of green orbs staring down at him.
Kurama laughed slightly before kneeling down beside the bed, "I see you're finally awake..." The fox stated simply, paying close attention to the frightened boy. "Hiei and I didn't expect you to wake up until tomorrow afternoon... But it seems that you're a little stronger than we thought you were." He smiled, staring in the crimson eyes of the boy.
"Wh-who are you?" He questioned, his eyes still fixed on the friendly looking red-head in front of him, he had been fooled by appearances once, he wasn't about to let it happen again.
"My name is Kurama...And my companion's name is Hiei." It was then that he noticed the other boy standing in the room, he gasped when he noticed how similar the two of them were. "Might I ask your name?"
"Z-Zeichi..." He stuttered his eyes still focused on the older version of himself, "Your the forbidden child I was told about...The one everyone says is supposedly my brother, right?" Hiei nodded, his gaze still locked with that of Zeichi's, "Everyone says that you're a ruthless killer...Is that true as well?" This time Zeichi dropped his gaze.
"Hn..." Was all that Hiei said.
Kurama laughed, "Translation; it means he was once a ruthless killer now he is working for the spirit world helping a rekai tantei by the name of Yusuke." Kurama smiled down at the boy in front of him. "Are you hungry?"
Zeichi hesitated, and then nodded his head, the pain in his stomach revealing itself to him now.
"Alright then, I'll go make you something to eat, Hiei will stay and keep you company, won't you?" Kurama laughed at the grunt he got in response leaving behind the unhappy demon to talk to his new found brother.
Silence took over the room once Kurama had left neither fire koorime wanting to be the first one to speak. 'Thanks a lot Kurama! What am I supposed to say to him! Stupid Fox leaving me to figure everything out on my own!' Hiei growled, startling the youth on the bed. 'Oh great now I've scared him...' Sighing in defeat Hiei sat down leaning against the wall his arms resting on the knees that were drawn tightly up to his chest.
"Hiei... I was told that you have a sister...do you?" Hiei nodded in response, "Well then that means she's my sister too... Do you know where she is?" Again Hiei nodded, Zeichi's eyes lit up, "Would I be able to meet her?"
This time Hiei shook his head, "If she knew that she had two brothers and that you were one of them, she'd find out about me and I don't want that to happen."
"Why not?" Zeichi looked at him, "If it was my sister I would have told her already!"
Hiei sighed, "I do not want her knowing that her brother is a criminal..." Hiei stated coolly, his expression never changing.
"I see...So then why doesn't it matter that I know?" He glanced down at the sheet covering his body, his hands balling up into tight fists.
"If it was at all possible to keep it a secret from you then I would have, but as you can see I look too much like you to keep that hidden." Zeichi looked up at him, then smiled.
"Yeah I guess that's true...So you and Kurama rescued me?" Hiei nodded again, "Why?"
"Just because I seem like a heartless bastard doesn't mean that I don't care about certain people!" Hiei snapped, making Zeichi jump from the sudden change in his voice.
Hiei stood up and walked over to the door, glancing over his shoulder towards Zeichi; he quickly opened the door and left the room.
