Ok, here's my next chapter, I tired to make it longer then my other ones. I was having a writer's block here, so bare with me! I'll try and add some more drama in the next one and in the next chapter; I'll explain why Syria hates Kurama SO much since so many people keep asking me that. And you'll find out why she doesn't like people touching her soon enough too. Well, READ&REVIEW! And here's my disclaimer!
Disclaimer: Kemiko in the place... here... Hirina does not own yyh so fuck off. I'm on the verge of giving up again….eh…Who gives a damn about my life.
Hirina: I DO! I give a damn about your life! -
Chapter Three- Unknown
Kurama walked in and pulled the butcher knife out of wall. He walked over to the newly healed Mika and handed it to her.
"Sorry and thanks." Mika said as she took the butchers knife from Kurama's hand.
Hirina quickly took the knife from Mika, "Just in case you get any ideas."
Hirina went over by counter and put the knife in the drawer.
"I wasn't going to attempt to chop your tail off again." Mika told Hirina as Kemiko and Hiei entered the kitchen. Koenma and the rest of the gang came in as well. Every one began to take their seat. Syria looked over at Mika and Hirina. 'Why are they sitting so far from each other?'
Everyone started serving themselves to food and began eating. Syria turned over to Kurama and whispered, "Why are there two empty seats between them?"
Mika being a kitsune had keen hearing and Hirina being a wolf also had good hearing.
Mika let her fork fall on her plate making a loud clang, catching everyone's attention. Mika quickly stood up, " Umm... I have to go do something. Excuse me." She stood up and quickly left the kitchen.
"Did I say something?" Syria asked.
"Just forget about it." Koenma replied.
Hirina stood up abruptly, almost knocking the table over.
"Forget about it! Koenma! You know how Mika is feeling about this! You sent Shiro and Kiyoshi out for a mission two weeks ago, not three weeks ago! They aren't even back yet; AND YOU HAVE NO INFORMATION ON WHERE OR HOW THEY ARE!" She yelled at the toddler, who gave her a frightened look.
He knew what Hirina was capable of when angry and he sure didn't want to be her target. He didn't think she would react like that, but Mika was her friend and it hurt her that Kiyoshi wasn't back yet. She herself was sad that Shiro wasn't back yet either. It enraged her that Koenma acted as if it was nothing.
Hirina continued, "YOU ARE A SELFISH BASTARD! YOU DON'T CARE BECAUSE YOU COULD EASILY REPLACE THEM, RIGHT?" She stared at Koenma demandingly waiting for his reply, "WELL?"
Koenma said nervously, "Well, er……..that's not true now Hirina! Let's not get in over our heads with this!"
Hirina screamed with full rage, "GET IN OVER MY HEAD? GET IN OVER MY HEAD!" She walked straight up to Koenma and punched him straight in his face knocking him out of his chair as blood drained from his now broken noise.
Hirina stormed out of the kitchen slamming the door behind her breaking it off the hinges. A crack went threw the wall.
Everyone stared in complete shock. Hirina never lost it like that before! Kemiko sighed, "This could only mean one thing…." She twirled her food on her fork casually, "She really does care for him." Syria's jaw dropped at her causality. 'Does this happen all the time or something!'
Hirina ran outside kicking anything aside that came in the way of her path. Finally she stopped and slammed her fist into a nearby tree causing it to snap in half straight through the trunk. The huge tree fell to the ground with a loud thud. She then sat on the fallen trunk as her hands were on her head griping her hair in frustration. Tears began falling from her eyes.
Back at the mansion, everyone finished eating quietly as little conversation occurred. Syria was confused. This place was strange. They were like REAL people, just………..different. After dinner finished, she left the table and headed back upstairs towards her room. As she weaved in and out of the zillions of hallways, she got lost. Syria growled in frustration as it felt like hours in searching for her room.
Suddenly in the near by distance Syria heard crying. She followed the noise of the person until she reached a room with the door shut. The door was black with a note on it. Syria observed the note and noticed it had some awkward language on it that she didn't know. She pushed aside her curious thoughts and focused on the person that was crying on the other side of the door.
Slowly she turned the handle of the door and opened it. Inside the room was something she never saw in her entire life!
On the ground was Mika in her full fox for am a mystic light surrounded her body. Tears were streaming down her face. Syria awed at the sight of the glorious looking fox.
Suddenly Mika sensed someone in her presences. She turned around as the glowing quickly stopped. Before either of them saw each other's face, Mika threw a water ball at her with full force. Syria flew back out into the hallway. Mika demanded, "What were you doing?"
Syria stuttered, "I- I-I was just- It's just- I heard someone crying!"
Mika glared at her as stated, "You have no reason to care for my problems, now go."
Syria heard her loud and clear, but she didn't move. She felt she needed to stay; there was something she should do. Mika exclaimed, "I said go! Now GO!"
Still she didn't move, but only stared at her. Syria finally spoke saying, "You love him don't you?"
Mika said, "What? This is none of your business, you-"
Syria cut her off stating, "There's no point in hiding it. You love him, don't you?"
Mika replied as she sighed, "He's my boyfriend."
Syria frowned a bit as she said gently, "Then, I know exactly how you feel."
Mika questioned, "Um…..what happened, to you?"
Syria sighed as she looked back up at Mika. Mika was holding her hand out to her. Syria took it as Mika helped her off her feet. They went back in her room. Syria explained, "I used to date guys, but I haven't for the longest time. The first guy I truly loved and was with the longest time died when I was in 8th grade."
Mika's ears drooped as she asked, "Um…..how did he die?"
Syria responded, "He was missing for about 2 weeks and……they…….found him dead."
Mika sighed, "They never knew what happened to him either, did they?"
A tear slid down Syria's cheek as she said holding back the rest of her tears, "I saw him die! They………they……stabbed him to his death." Syria burst out in tears as the memories flooded back to her. Mika sighed. Nervously she hugged her not sure what else to do.
Normally Syria would hurt anyone who came too close to her, but for some reason, she felt safe. So she remained there, crying in Mika's arms.
"It's okay, it's okay." Mika said trying to comfort her. Syria wiped her tears away and gave Mika a smile.
At that moment they heard someone scream, "AHHHHHH!" It sounded like Botan.
Mika stood up and ran at full speed in her kitsune form, Syria trying to keep up with her.
As Mika reached the last steps...
"AHHHHH!" Mika screamed. "Oh My GOD! Kiyoshi is that really you?"
She couldn't believe it. Was he really alive? Was he really in front of her?
Syria finally made it down the stairs. She noticed Mika was screaming but not of fear, but of joy. She was smiling, a smile that could only mean one thing. Syria looked over to where Mika was facing there stood a smiling black spiky blue tipped haired boy, with Mystic blue eyes.
That must be Kiyoshi.
She watched as tears flowed down Mika's cheeks and onto her black and blue kimono.
"Yes, Mika it's me." Kiyoshi replied. He took a step closer to her, but Mika finished the walk between them. She ran to him and he caught her in an embrace. He lifted her face up to his and gave her the kiss of lover's.
Mika broke the kiss and stared at Kiyoshi, who was wearing a shocked look on his face.
Mika gasped and let go of him. "Why didn't you tell me you were hurt!"
Kiyoshi sighed relief and replied by giving Mika another kiss. "Because, I didn't want to ruin the moment."
Syria walked down the steps to get a better view of Kiyoshi and sure enough he was hurt. The blood was seeping through his shirt, but he didn't seem to care. Mika seemed to be more important to him than he was to himself.
Just then out of no where something fuzzy blurred by and tackled the other boy, who must have been Shiro. Shiro had various colors of purple in his eyes. He was about 5' 2" and had long black hair, but not as long a Kurama's. His skin was tan.
As Shiro fell to the ground he saw what was on top of his, it was Hirina. She hugged him in a death grip as if it was the last time she'd ever see him. Then suddenly out of no where, Hirina unexpectedly kissed him hard, but passionately on the lips.
Shiro's eyes widened in shock, but he kissed her back thrusting his tongue in her mouth. Some time later they parted for air as Shiro requested, "Could you loosen your grip a bit, I can't exactly breathe that well."
Hirina blushed from embarrassment and did as he asked. He smiled at her and questioned, "So, you missed me then?" A tear of joy fell from her eye as she squeezed him in a hug again. He smiled at her.
Syria was curious to as of why Kiyoshi was wounded, but at least Mika's koi was safe, and well, Hirina's. Mika finally stated, "We should get you inside, you need to heal your wound." Shiro and Hirina got up off of the ground as that was said.
Hirina suggested, "I could heal him!" She ran over to Kiyoshi and put her hand slightly above the wound. A light swirled with black, red, white, gold, and silver emerged from her hand. Slowly the wound closed healing itself back to perfect condition. Kiyoshi smiled at Hirina and thanked her. She pulled him in a hug, but not as meaningful as the one she gave Shiro. Mika laughed a little at her as Hirina let go of him smiling.
Sometime later they walked back into the mansion. Syria stayed in the front room with them trying to find out what did happen to the two boys. Kiyoshi explained, "We got lost in the castle the demon had and while in the middle of our fight, they smashed our communicator and eventually they held us captive. They locked us in a room that repelled any telepathic connection or use of powers or spirit energy of any sort."
Syria questioned out of no where, "Then how'd you escape?"
Shiro exclaimed, "When the guards came in to feed us, we hid behind the door and simply knocked them out. They had bad security, but until we reached outside the door. Quiet a battle if you ask me. Kiyoshi was burned with a flame, that's why he was bleeding."
Eventually Syria got bored of the conversation and went back upstairs to her room. It took her a while, but she did find where it was this time. She plopped on her bed and heaved a heavy sigh. It was horrible here, seemed like she was locked in a prison. What the hell was the point of all this anyway?
As Syria kept thinking her thoughts grew worse and worse. She grew angered and frustration took over. A tear slid down her cheek. She sat on her bed rocking back and forth hugging her knees. It was too hard, but she had to fight the erg, she just HAD to!
Finally she gave up. Quickly she took the object from under her pillow that she placed there before. Syria ran into the bathroom and slammed the door behind her. She put her back against the bathroom wall as more tears slid down her cheeks. Slowly she slid down to the floor.
She sat there staring. Staring into nothing as even more pain filled her. Memories of her past came to her hurting her even more.
FLASHBACK!
Syria was walking through Voir Park calmly. Her brother was besides her staring at her smiling. Syria questioned, "What?"
Her brother Sakio replied, "Nothing, it's just, you look like mom. Your eyes are equal to hers as your hair is. I wonder how beautiful you'll become once you're fully grown."
Syria asked, "You really think so?" Sakio nodded. Just then people attacked out of no where. They grabbed her and started running away with her.
Sakio yelled, "SYRIA!" He took out his knife from his back pocket and stabbed the men around him. He chased after the one holding Syria. He kicked the man I the back, and did a spin kick knocking him to the ground. He held his knife to the man's throat too quick before he could attack back. He yelled, "DON'T YOU EVER TOUCH HER AGAIN!" At that he slit the man's throat letting him bleed to his death.
Suddenly a man came up behind them clapping. He stated, "Very good, very good! Well done!"
Sakio spat, "Who are you?"
The man responded, "I'm going to be your worst nightmare for the next…….20 years or so." He laughed menacingly.
Sakio yelled, "You won't harm my sister! NOT if I can help it!"
The mean questioned, "Is that so? Then………I'll rid of you first!" He held his hand out in front of him and suddenly Sakio began choking.
Syria screamed, "STOP IT! LEAVE HIM ALONE!"
The man asked, "Now why would I do that?"
Syria's eyes filled with tears, "DON'T HURT HIM!"
The man sighed, "Sorry dear, but I have to. Your mother didn't do as I asked, she'll have to pay."
Syria screamed, "NOOOO!" She took her brother's knife and stabbed the man in the heart. He quickly dropped to the ground and Sakio gasped for air as he could breathe again.
Syria hugged her brother as she was now crying. Sakio hugged her back and kissed her forehead as he said gently, "Syria, we won't win this one this time. Just promise me you'll stay strong and keep living. I love you and will never forget you. I promise I'll come back for you in the end. You understand?"
Syria asked as she filled with fear, "Sakio, what are you talking about! You're scaring me! Stop it!"
Sakio sighed, "That man isn't dead Syria, and he's going to come back any minute now. I won't be able to fight him. I need you to run when he does come back, but promise me you'll do as I said. "
Syria began crying again, "I promise! I love you Sakio!" He hugged her one last time. Just then the man sprung up off of his feet and laughed louder.
"You thought I'd die that easily? YOU WERE WRONG!"
Sakio said quickly, "Syria run!" She did as he said as she ran as fast as she could. She hid behind some bushes to get a clear view. The next thing she knew, they were standing on the bridge across the river next the where they were.
Sakio yelled something at the man. Just then the man stabbed Sakio in the stomach and yelled loud enough for Syria to hear, "I HOPE YOU ENJOY FALLING DOWN A WATERFALL AS YOU BLEED TO DEATH!" At that he pushed her brother into the river as his body was dragged down the river. Syria held back the erg to scream as a waterfall of tears streamed down her face. She turned and ran all the way home just as Sakio wanted……………..
END FLASHBACK!
Syria's eyes streamed with tears and she lifted the object, it was a small razor that had some dried blood on it from before. Almost instantly she sliced the skin on her arm as more tears fell. The blood dripped from her arm and streamed when her tears reached it.
She lifted her pants leg and slowly cut through her thigh shutting her eyes taking in the relaxing pain. Slowly her pain eased and her tears stopped. Her blood dripped onto the floor, but she didn't notice.
Sometime later………….
Syria was curled up on the floor in her room in the corner against the wall. She was quietly sleeping. Someone slowly opened her door and waked in. It was Kemiko and Kurama.
Kurama questioned, "Where is she?" They looked around the room. Kemiko pointed to the corner.
"She's right there." Kurama looked at her, 'she looks so innocent and... cute!' He then snapped out of it as Kemiko's voice came back to him.
"Kurama………Kurama! KURAMA!" As he looked at her she sighed, "Get your stupid fox mind OUT of the gutter and pay attention!"
Kurama protested, "My mind is NOT in the gutter, thank you very much!"
A smirk came across her face as she teased, "Suuuuuuuuuuuure."
Kurama changed the subject asking, "Why would she want to sleep on the floor?"
Just then out of no where Hirina's voice said, "Well, it seems her animal side shows through even when she's in her human form, like me in a way. But actually, she's sleeping next to the vent. She must have been hot before she went to sleep. I wouldn't move her, she'll probably wake up."
Both Kurama and Kemiko jumped at her voice and glared at her. Hirina sighed, "Come one now, you know I'm everywhere!" She laughed a little.
Kemiko teased, "Everywhere on Shiro!" A darkening glare came across Hirina's face. Kemiko said, "Ok, I'll shut up!"
Hirina growled lowly, "Thank you!"
Hirina walked into her room and sniffed the air. "Hmmmmmmmmmm."
"What?" Kurama asked.
"Nothing, just thought I smelt something, awkward in here, but never mind; I was wrong."
They all left shutting the door and going back to their rooms so they too could sleep. A few minutes later Hirina snuck out of her room and headed back towards Syria's. Slowly she turned the knob of the door opening in silently.
She had to be sneaky and she was skilled at it. Hirina transformed into her full demon form as she became a full wolf. She sniffed the room following the scent she smelt before. Quietly she crept toward the bathroom as then scent emerged from there.
As she reached the bathroom she saw a drop of blood on the floor with a razor next to it. Hirina gasped at the sight. SHE WAS CUTTING HERSELF!
