Chapter 1: I'm Back!
That damn Elemental was going to get him killed.
'Shh…don't tell them I'm back ,Koenma……I want it to be a surprise, Koenma'…… the small ruler sulked on his way back to his office, trying to make sure his expression was believable for the sake of his recently resurrected…and highly retarded friend.
Kiya, once awakening, had immediately returned to her playful nature and insisted that Koenma not tell anyone that she had been resurrected…but not tell them she was dead for sure, either. She wanted to surprise her friends, so Koenma decided to play along.
And as long as no one murdered and/ or mauled him, everything was fine and dandy.
Fat chance of that happening….
Koenma, in his toddler form, rounded the corner of the long palace hallway and soon was standing in front of his office door. He inhaled deeply, then entered the fire…
…the highly depressing fire.
Everyone; Hiei, Kurama, Yusuke, Kuwabara, Keiko, Shizuru, Genkai and even Haku were all waiting in his large office, all either leaning against the wall in their silent sorrow, sitting on the ground in their unbearable woe or pacing the room in their unyielding impatience.
It's not very hard to guess who the troublesome pacer was.
As soon as the group heard the large doors to the office open, their heads shot up and so did the voices.
"What the hell's goin' on? You've been in there for hours!" Yusuke demanded.
"Is Kiya alright?" Keiko inquired.
"Was the procedure a success?" Kurama questioned, but the one comment that stood out to Koenma was the one that was accompanied by his shirt collar being yanked and his body being lifted off the ground.
Koenma stared wide-eyed into the flaring crimson eyes of Hiei Jaganshi.
"Where. Is. She?" the koorime demanded, his voice a low hissand his eyes were blood-shot with concern for his intended.
Yep, he was gonna die. Stupid Kiya...
Koenma cleared his throat nervously, careful to keep his thoughts quite like Kiya had demanded. "W-we wont kn-know if the procedure w-worked until tom-morrow." He tried his best to conceal his gulp and hoped he wasn't sweating as much as he felt like he was.
Damn it, why did he have to suck so much at lying?
Koenma tried to put on a sullen face and forced himself not to look into Hiei's eyes as he was being held about 2 feet off the ground.
"Hiei, please put Koenma down. He's doing the best he can." The calming, grief-stricken voice of Kurama came from behind Hiei. Hiei narrowed his eyes further before reluctantly throwing the small ruler to the ground.
Koenma thanked his lucky stars that everyone in the room was too worried to see his poor lying. All Koenma had to do now was move onto the second part of his plan.
"You all should go back to Genkai's temple, then s-some back in the morning. I-I should have a r-result by t-then…" His voice squeaked at the end.
Keiko and Kurama sighed. "I suppose you're right, Koenma. Please prepare a portal for us to return tomorrow at 8:00."
"7:00." Hiei snapped.
Kurama sighed once again before nodding in agreement. Koenma could only muster a nervous nodding of his head before creating a portal to Ningenkai for the sullen group in his office. They all disappeared to the other side of the portal, Hiei taking his time to glare at Koenma before finally going through.
Koenma finally allowed himself to exhale.
Kiya was soo going to pay for this when she got to work tomorrow…
Koenma had decided that since Kiya needed things to occupy her time since she could not return to school for a short while and since Botan, his once bubbly and best ferry girl had passed away not too long ago; Kiya would be taking Botan's place as his right hand guide to Rekai.
Botan's spirit had never been recovered; it turns out that the poison injected into her system had indeed destroyed her spirit. Koenma believed it fitting that the girl who almost suffered the same fate should continue in the previous ferry girl's footsteps.
So, all Koenma had to do when checking up on Kiya for any final touch-ups from the procedure was give her the Elixir of Immortality, and she could become a ferry girl.
Kiya was very keen on this idea, because she got to 'fly around and see dead people as opposed to going to school'…
…it was clear to see where her priorities lie.
Koenma jumped up into his large chair and leaned against the back.
He hoped all would be well when the group returned to Genkai's temple.
----------------------------------------GEKNAIS TEMPLE------------------------------------------
The blue portal created a rift in the air and through it stepped 7 people (Haku had gone through to a different part of Ningenkai).
The atmosphere was unusually quiet and solemn as the group fanned out across the living room, readying themselves for a long and restless night. Hiei had almost immediately disappeared through the windowsill to find a suitable tree to destroy in his impatience- ness.
Both Kurama stopped dead in his tracks…
…something was different- albeit familiar about the temple.
"Who the hell ate all my pop-tarts?" A loud cry came from the kitchen, causing everyone else in the temple, even the old psychic, to freeze in confusion.
Was that?...no way…….it couldn't have been….. it?
As if on cue to answer all of their unanswered questions, a very familiar, short and blue-haired girl came into the room, holding up an empty box of pop-tarts and wearing an almost impossibly huge grin on her face.
All was silent for a long time as Kiya stared at every occupant of the room, her eyes searching for the absent fire apparition.
"Oh great, are you all mute now?" Something inside Kiya told her that now was not the most appropriate time to be joking around with her emotionally drained friends, but did she listen?
Hell no.
"Oh shit, I'm going crazy," mumbled Yusuke as he rubbed his eyes furiously and blinked repeatedly.
He looked back at Kiya for a long time, then without warning he- accompanied by Kuwabara, tackled the poor girl.
"ACK!"
"Kiya! You're alive!" Kuwabara exclaimed while crushing Kiya in a binding hug.
"Not…for..(hack) long!" Kiya gasped, and was grateful when Kieko and Shizuru pulled the detectives off of her.
"You're alright! Oh I'm so glad the procedure worked!" Keiko and Shizuru then took their turns giving Kiya gentler hugs. Kiya hugged back enthusiastically.
"Me too. Dying sucked…"
"I thought it was cool…" Yusuke's sentence trailed off as he got a 'shut up' look from Genkai.
Keiko and Shizuru backed away from Kiya and it was Kurama's and Genkai's turn to step up. Kiya didn't even give them a change to prepare themselves before giving them each their own loving hug. "I'm glad you all cared whether or not I died. It might not make any sense, but it means a lot to me…"
"Kiya-chan…" Kurama released his embrace on his friend and looked deeply into her slightly altered eyes. His eyebrows rose when he realized that instead of light silver, Kiya's eyes were now a deep midnight blue- the same color her eyes were when she was in her Elemental form. He guessed it was a side effect from the resurrection. However, Kurama shook his head and re-focused his thoughts; there was something that was more importantand needed to be done. "There is someone who you need to reunite with…Hiei went outside, so he's probably too occupied defacing the trees to notice your aura. Please, go to him…"
Kiya nodded, anxious to be able to see her koi again. She took one more appreciated look at all of her friends, the love for them swelling inside of her, then disappeared out the window.
Kiya flew swiftly, following the energy path of Hiei, dodging trees and an owl as she neared the energetic aura.
Kiya stopped cold when she saw that a black blur was flitting from tree to tree about 20 feet in front of her, the trees being split open as the black blur came into contact with them.
Kiya inhaled deeply……this was it…..before stepping onto the ground and out into the opening of trees where Hiei was currently destroying the poor, innocent trees.
Kiya's breath caught in her throat as Hiei stopped immediately, his panting and sweating form freezing, its back to her.
Hiei turned slowly as Kiya stood still, unable to move as Hiei's crimson eyes found her blue ones.
Eyes widened…
…gasps were heard…
…and a certain Elemental was tackled- for the second time.
