/.:.Being Blind, Is Plain Horrible.:./
Well, I hope you all liked it and send me some reviews. This would be my second Yu Yu Hakusho story I have written. The other is on Quizilla. Hidden Beneath the Surface. So, "im looking forward to everyone's thoughts, and intakes on the first chapter.
Here we go!
Chapter 2
The Guys have just entered a room, more like an office. In the middle was a deck, with a computer, pens, stamps, and tons of papers on it. The deck was a deep mahogany color, it looked to be very expensive. There was a window off to the left upon entering the room, to the left from the desk.
There was two doors behind the desk. One was to the left, the other to the right. One would assume the left door led to a bedroom, the other, well that was up for the imagination to roam and figure out.
In three corners there were plants, to make the room seem more comfortable to live and work in everyday. As the four males started to walk in, they heard someone screaming.
"George! Get me that file now! I want a picture of that girl and profile! And where is my donut!"
"Its coming sir. I have to go and get it. I thought you wanted the file first."
"I want my donut as well. And George, make sure it strawberry! If I get any other kind, I won't be to happy!"
"Yes sir, I'll get on it right away sir." Yusuke was laughing to hard, he fell. Kuwabara had a horrible expression on his face. Hiei, said the famous "Hn." And walked into the room. Kurama looked shocked that the man in the room sounded so selfish at the moment.
"Well Baby breath, I believe you finally showed Kurama just how selfish you really are." Yusuke said while walking into the room. Still laughing.
"I have been up and running around like a mad man, trying to figure out who some woman is. I haven't eaten anything all morning, and I still haven't got the image of the woman yet!" The baby said this last part a little louder. Hoping the one named George would hear it.
He did. "Its coming sir, the data base is picking her up. She's a human."
The baby sighed. "Just what I didn't need. Bad information to officially start the day off." He shook his head.
"Um Koenma, sir, would you mind telling us what exactly is wrong?" Kurama asked. Koenma, the baby looked up. "You want to know what is wrong, very well. I'll tell you what is wrong!" He shouted.
"I have a human on my hands that just took a picture of some demons killing a human! A human I might add, that happens to be the prime minister that links the Makai with the Ningenkai! The Demons are after her, and I don't know who she is, where she lives, or what she properly looks like."
He took a breath. "All I have is that she seems young, has brown hair, and can run like the wind!"
"Then how do you know that the image the data base has found is her?" They asked. Koenma took another breath.
"She was hurt, one of her hands. Some of her blood was left at the scene. We took it, analyzed it, and have come up with the match. As George says, she's human."
"George may we have that picture put up on the T.V. So we can see who it is?" Kurama asked politely.
"Of course. As soon as I get it up."
"Thank you George." Kurama said and smiled.
"Now, what did you all come here for. I didn't expect you back for a little while longer." Koenma said. "Did you capture the demon who was running through town?"
"Well you see, about that demon. We ran into some unexpected trouble." Yusuke started off.
Which of course threw Koenma into another fit. "I told you I wanted him here, so I could punish him. How hard is it to understand something like that. You learn to listen in the second grade!" He shouted.
Kuwabara, and the rest of them started to laugh at Yusuke, who just blushed
"What is so funny?" Koenma asked.
"Well you see sir, the trouble Yusuke was talking about, the demon grabbed a girl on the sidewalk. We all told her to run, Yusuke I believe said after it was ll done and over with. No I apologize, shouted at the poor girl, "That its not hard to comprehend something like run! You are taught it in the second grade!" I believe were close to his words." Kurama laughed.
"And why didn't she run. I normal humans instinct is to run when they see something that their mind connects with the word demon."
"It turns out, the girl, whom Urameshi yelled at Koenma, was blind." Kuwabara said in disgust. "I tried to tell him that picking on people like that would bite him in the butt later."
"Was the girl alright?" Koenma asked.
"Yes of course she was. I'm the only one who felt bad cause I yelled at her. Her friend showed up and took her home. We came back her to ask what you wanted us to do with her?"
Koenma had a blank look on his face.
Yusuke sighed. "She might not have seen me kill the demon, but she heard me kill him. The demon crashed right beside her on the wall when I shot him."
A look of understanding crossed Koenma's face. "Well, um...well this is new. Why don't we let her be for a while, and see what she does, of if she talks to anyone about what happened. Get me a picture, a name, and where she lives too."
"Her name is Keyrin, she goes to the gifted school somewhere around 20th street, she lives past the market. She's also blind." Hiei stated. "I don't think we'll have any problems watching her."
"Keyrin?" Koenma asked. "Did she have a tattoo of a Key? Did you see it?" He hurriedly asked. "What about one on her upper arm, it has a lot of Celtic symbols and goes all away around her muscle. It looks like an arm band, but it's a tattoo. Or the one on the back of her neck? Was her hair up?"
"Slow down Koenma. We didn't see any tattoos on the girl. She had a long sleeve shirt on, her hair was down. All we saw was her eyes. They were a blurry white. Do you know her?"
"If it's the Keyrin I think it is, yes. Not many people have that name. I've only heard of one, and I haven't seen her in many years. Your going to be watching her. See if she has those tattoos I told you about. I'll give you a copy of everyone of them. If it is her, bring her to me."
"Why?" Kuwabara asked.
"Because, her father has been looking for her for many years now, and its time for you all to have a new teammate."
"But-but she's blind." Yusuke stuttered.
"And? Just because she's blind doesn't mean anything. She has the best arm anyone has every seen! In the Makai she goes by Crusade. You have to see her at her work to fully appreciate her."
"So when would you like us to bring her in?" Kurama asked. "When ever you see and make sure she has those tattoos. After that I don't care when, but not til you make sure. If its her, she'll know who you all are. Give her time, try making friends with her. She's one Allie you want, and one enemy you don't."
"Watch your step Keyrin, we're going up the stairs now." Roma said. "Thank you." You said tightly.
"Keyrin, what's wrong?" You weren't going to say anything. You knew she was only trying to help you. But it was annoying you now. She had held your arm the entire way home, and telling you what was in from of you every step you took.
"Keyrin?" Roma asked again. 'That does it. No more.'
"Look Roma!" You snapped. "Look at me!" She stopped, and turned. "Look at how your treating me!" You shouted. Some of the people in the building were coming out of their rooms to figure out what was causing so much commotion.
"Keyrin, people are watching. We only have a little more ways to go, then we're at our room."
"You think I don't know that!" you shouted again. "I know what step I'm on Roma. I know what room I'm by, and I know how many more steps we have til our floor and our room. I've counted them! Everyday I've walked them I've counted them!"
"Key, calm down, I'm only trying to help. You worry me sometimes."
You sighed, and leaned on the wall. "I know." You said. "I apologize. Its just, you have held my arm since we started walking home, told me where my feet are going, what I'm passing, and telling me what foot to put forward first!"
"I'm not a baby Roma. Please don't treat me like one. I know what foot to put forward first believe it or not. Your treating me like I don't know what I'm doing! You know I hate that."
"I'm sorry. You had me worried that you weren't coming back home, being late. I freaked out. You know how much me and Lance need you. How much you mean to us."
"Are you all right deary?" An old woman asked.
"Are you talking to me Mrs. Clott?" You asked.
"Why of course dear. Your all bruised up, and your shirt is all wrinkled. Roma's going to have to iron that right away, or it'll be like that forever." She went on. "And your bleeding on your arm. Haven't been watching where your walking I see." She said.
You smiled at the old woman. As annoying as she could be, you wouldn't be able to start each day without her ragging on you, and making sure you didn't forget anything. And her jokes about watching where you were walking.
"I fell again. I keep promising myself, twould be easier to invent a car that takes me everywhere my voice active." You smiled. Don't mind us everyone. I'm a little grumpy this afternoon. I had some guys pick on me and being blind. I'm a little upset tis all."
"Don't you let them bother you girl," An older man said from the right. "They don't know anything. Kid these days, picking on the helpless and blind." He said. You assumed it was Mr. Reninbol. He was one neighbor you didn't like. As much as you didn't let most comments get to you about being blind, some did. And you hated being called helpless.
Roma saw this and made an attempt to getting you up the stairs faster. "It was all nice talking to you, however my motherly instinct tells me my son is crying. Its time for his bath and bedtime story. He's been waiting for Key to get home. You'll have to excuse us." She smiled. "Come on Key. He's calling for you." You laughed and started back up the stairs again.
"Come and visit sometime Key dear! You can tell me how school is going! And I'll bake you some oatmeal cookies, your favorite!" Mrs. Clott yelled. "Will do ma'am." You said and concentrated on counting steps.
About five minutes later you stopped. "Finally made it." You said. Roma smiled and opened the door.
You felt the earth vibrations and knew Lance was running towards the door. "Better get ready," You told Roma. "Here he comes. You catch him this time. I'm to tired." Roma started to laugh when a little boy jumped up into your arms.
"Daddy! Your home!" He shouted while you fell backwards. "It would appear that I am."
"I'm sorry key, he's just to fast sometimes." Roma laughed and help you help. "Come on Lance, give her a minute to catch her breath."
"Story time!" He yelled. You smiled. "'fraid not little one. It times for a bath. I need one desperately. And I hear so do you." Lance smiled and grabbed your hand. Placing it on his mouth. "See daddy, I'm smiling. I'm not going to argue 'bout baff 'night." The boy said proudly.
"I see not." You said grabbing his hand, placing it on your mouth like he did. "I too am smiling." Lance got up and ran into the room. "I have to get clothes, and towel." he was screaming as he went. You chuckled to your self.
"I wonder where he gets that from?" you asked. "Gee, I wonder." Roma replied. You just burst out laughing. "Guess I had better go get ready, he's taking a bath with me tonight."
Roma laughed. "Don't worry Key, when you have your own kids, you'll already have all the experience you need." She said to your back.
You just waved your hand over your head turning into the kitchen. "My Lady, your late." A women said.
"It would seem so. I fell again. Sorry to worry and keep you extra." You said to the babysitter. She smiled. I do not mind. Lance was very worried though. He thought you weren't going to come home tonight like the other night. I have already made dinner, if you don't mind, I would like to go home to my own children now."
"Lisa," You smiled. "Thank you for telling me what worry the boy. And once again, I'll tell you, you are more than welcome to bring your children over here when we are gone. It would give all the kids time to play together. We wouldn't mind."
"Thank you again my Lady, and once again I will tell you, I will think upon it. Where in your dog? He hasn't been around all day?"
"You laughed. He's at the doctors. He bit another person, they had to go through all the legalities once again."
"I shall see you all again tomorrow?" Lisa asked.
"No, thank you anyhow though. Tomorrow Key will be taking Lance to school with her." Roma said.
You simply lifted an eyebrow. "I will?" You asked. "Yes you will." Roma said in a tight voice. You frowned. "Then it seems you have a day off tomorrow Lisa. Enjoy it with your kids and husband."
"Thank you again" she said and left. When the door closed, you turned around to where Roma was standing. "Should I be worried?" You asked.
"I don't know." She said and started to cry. "Mommy, is something wrong?" Lance asked.
"No baby, go get ready for your bath, your taking one with Daddy tonight." She said. Lance smiled and ran to the bathroom.
"Roma?" You asked.
"Something happened today Key. I was taking a couple a pictures, and I saw something horrible."
Your heart started to race faster. "What did you see?"
"I saw some ugly creature kill a man. I took the picture and ran. There was a couple of them, they ran after me, but I took a couple of shortcuts from that lead from downtown to here."
Your face got red.. "Dammit, how many times have I told you not to take pictures in that part of town? I worry about you as well you know."
"I know. But the job took me down there today. I got a couple of nice takes and was going to leave when I walked down the wrong alley and saw that thing kill that poor man."
You walked over to her and touched her cheek. You could feel the tears coming down. "Don't worry. I'll protect you and Lance. I swore I would three years ago, and when Lance came part of them family. Nothings going to happen to you or him. Why don't both of you come to school with me tomorrow?" You asked.
"I can't. I have a new job lined up. Its big bucks Key."
"You know you don't have to work, I have money to support all of us."
"I know, but we're a family. We all have to work and make it work." You laughed. "That reminds me, I have to work with the boy and the bath right now. I'll be out in half an hour. Why don't you go cook us something?" You said.
"Lisa already cooked though?" Roma said.
"I know. I like your food better." You smiled and disappeared into the bath room. Roma heard laughing and screaming from Lance.
"Alright mon! We're going in!" You heard Key yell and Lance laugh more.
'I have no clue what I would do without her.' you thought.
You walked into the kitchen and started on desert. You knew Key loved Hot chocolate and sugar cookies. Her favorite. "Mrs. Clott doesn't know what she's talking about half the time. Key hates oatmeal cookies." You said to yourself. You were baking in the kitchen listening to Key and Lance laughing, when the doorbell rang.
"Ill get it" You yelled.
"Your gonna half to! We're busy taking over the oncoming pirate ship!" Key yelled. "You laughed to yourself.
You opened the door, and were shocked to see the men you saw earlier harassing Key. Your face turned cold all of a sudden. What did they want with her.
"What do you want?" You asked coldly.
"I know we made a bad impression earlier, we want to make it up to you and your friend. The blind one." The black head, Yusuke said. "She has a name. Its Keyrin. You can either use it or leave." You said.
"He didn't mean it how he said it ma'am." The red head, Kurama said. "Yusuke is a little to insensitive at time." He laughed.
"Then he should let you do the talking and keep his mouth shut!" You snapped.
"About time someone told him" The orange haired, Kuwabara said.
"Hn. You should also follow her advise baka." Hiei said. The one with gravity defying hair.
"Whatever. Is she home? I would like to apologize to her again. I actually felt bad."
"What a wonder." You said sarcastically. "Come in. She'll be out in a minute. The living room is straight ahead." You said while letting them in. 'It might be good, Key could use some friends, other than me' you thought.
"May we sit down miss?" Kurama asked. "Yes of course. And my names is Roma." You said and smiled. 'Might as well try to be nice to them.'
"When is Keyrin coming again? Did she go out again?" Yusuke asked.
"No, she and Lance we'll be out in a minute. They're taking a bath." As if on cue, a big splash came from the bathroom, and a scream. "Watch it Lance. There coming, to starboard! Run, we need speed!" "Wrong way Daddy! The other way!" Lance shouted. "Swim for yer life mon!"
You laughed you couldn't help it. "You pirated in there better not be getting the floor soaked!" All splashing stopped. "Um..be very quiet Lance. I can take care of this." everyone heard Key say.
"Why, I see a damsel in stress" She shouted. Everyone started to laugh silently. "Ah, we're on dry land now, I assure you Madam!" Lance started to laugh. "Do you think mommy believed us?" He asked. "Course she did. You just have to know how to work her the right way son." you said while laughing.
"Work me the right way huh?" Roma yelled loud enough so you could hear her. Both of you sunk deeper in the water. "We'll be out in a moment. And the bath room will be dry!" You said.Lance smiled at you. "I think Mommy won that one" he said. Everyone heard from inthe living room. "I let her win. Come on, time to scrub."
Roma started to laugh harder. "Can I get any of you drinks while you wait for Key?" She asked. "That would be nice, but we don't want to intrude." Kurama said. "Speak for yourself Kurama, I'm thirsty." Kurama looked ashamed of Yusukes manners.
"Don't worry, I'll get everyone something. Hope you all like hot coco, I just made some." Roma said and disappeared into the kitchen, coming out a minute later with a tray of cups and a pot of hot coco.
"Thank you." Roma had just gave everyone their cups when Lance shot out from the bath room, butt naked, and ran right to him mom. Everyone blushed. "Sorry." She said. Kurama smiled.
"Mommy, mommy, daddy and me played pirates, and we won! Did you hear the big splash?" He asked. "Right when we got in?"
"Of course, I'll be cleaning the bathroom later to get all the water up from you too."
Lance smiled.
"Already done love." You said while coming out of the bathroom. A pair of sweat pants on and a white tank top. Your hair was pulled up into a high pont tail, your feet bare. "Now where would be me prize?" You asked while walking around the room. You didn't have your glasses on, so everyone saw your eyes once again. And the big smile on your face.
"Key?"
"Its seemsme loot actually grew legs and walked, more like ran off the ship before we even docked." You said while laughing. "Now where did he go. I know he ran out her without any clothes on, I found them where I left them." You told Roma.
"Daddy! I'm right over here!" Lance said and grabbing your had. "Time to get dressed little pirate." You said while dressing him. "All done" you said and ruffled his hair. "Dinner time!" He shouted.
"It seems we have guests Lance" Everyone looked up at you with shocked expressions on their faces. Even Hiei's face held one. "Are you going to ask them if they would like to attend dinner with us?"
Lance turned around right at the kitchen door. "Would you all like to have dinner with me, mommy and daddy?" He asked.
The guys looked at each other and shrugged. "I'm hungry?" Yusuke and Kuwabara said.
"We would love to have dinner with you tonight." Kurama said. "I'll help set the table."
You smiled. 'At least Koenma has detectives that have manners' you thought. And walked towards the kitchen as well. Touching the wall every now and then, to make sure you were headed in the right direction.
/.:.End Chapter 2.:./
Hope you all liked it, you even ,met some new neighbors. Oh, and if yu think that there are spelling errors when Keyrin talks, that would be because she's Scottish. Well at least that's where she was born in my story.
