TO THE STORY!
Chapter 15 – Truth to be Told
Together they Collide
Destiny shall forever thrive
A collision of the three
Cursed of the two added by the unseen
Not knowing how they truly first met
Truth twisted and bent
The true story has died
But only one is covering the empty lie.
-Ancient Prophecies Volume 2
"Mistaken Souls"
"Damn frickin books. Never fail to tell the truth." Hirina muttered glaring at the book before her.
BAM!
Thunder clashed outside her window followed by violent flashes of….red lightning? Hirina curiously got up and looked out her window, "What the hell?"
In the distance there was a huge collision of different spiritual energies. Suddenly the ground shook sending things to the ground everywhere. Hirina grabbed her books and quickly threw them under the bed as she then ran out into the hall with difficulty.
Kiyoshi and Shiro stared at Mika, "A storm? What are you talking-"
Suddenly the ground shook from underneath them. Flashes of lights of various different colors came from out the windows. "WHAT THE HELL!" Kiyoshi yelled.
As they heard the loud booms and flashes Syria and Kurama looked at each other. Kurama quickly pushed Syria out of the way as something fell from the wall nearly missing her head. Syria tumbled on the ground as she tried to get up without falling as the ground shook beneath her. "Kurama! What's going on!" She yelled to him for the noise was extremely loud.
"I don't know!" He yelled back. Almost instantly the shaking ceased. They both looked up at each other and then down the hall. Things were tossed about.
"Let's see if the others are ok." Kurama quickly stated seeing the damage.
They ran downstairs Finding Mika and Kiyoshi crawling out from underneath the table. Kiyoshi pulled Shiro out and stated to Kurama, "Go get some bandages." Before Kurama even bothered to ask why, he noticed the gash on Shiro's head and the slice across Kiyoshi's arm.
Kurama immediately ran off to retrieve some bandages as Syria ran over by the two. She ripped off part of her shirt and held it against the unconscious Shiro's head to slow down the bleeding. Mika wrapped some cloth around Kiyoshi's arm. "I'm fine Mika; you should be more worried about Shiro ya know."
"Well there's nothing I can do about him right now, you still need to stop your bleeding!" Mika snapped. Kiyoshi didn't dare protest, but rolled his eyes at her. Kurama came back in with the bandages. Syria took the things from him and poured the cleanser on some cloth and cleaned off his cut and the put a bandage over it with gauze underneath. She took off Mika's just finished cloth bandage and cleaned off Kiyoshi's cut and then wrapped it back up with a bandage. Mika glared at her.
Kurama asked, "Where's everyone else?"
Mika responded, "I have no idea."
Kiyoshi stated, "Kuraji's with Genkai and Hiei was with Kemiko. Hirina…I think she went in her room."
Kurama nodded, "I'm going to see if they're alright. I'll be back."
"I'm coming with you. " Mika stated. "Syria, watch these two." Syria nodded as the two left to check on the others. As they reached the room Kemiko was in, they found Hiei bandaging Kemiko's stomach.
"What the hell happened to you!" Mika asked as she ran over to Kemiko.
"Nothing big…just a small cut." She replied as she winced from Hiei's bandaging.
Hiei glared and stated, "Stupid baka got sliced by some metal trying to move me out of the way."
Kemiko growled, "Nice way to thank someone!"
"Shut up, I would've been fine on my own." Hiei stated.
Kemiko glared at him, "The other's ok?"
Kurama answered, "Shiro's got a slice across the head and Kiyoshi cut his arm, but the other's are alright. We still have to check on Hirina, Kuwabara, and Yusuke."
"I'm fine and so are the other two." Came a reply from behind them. It was Hirina.
"Well, that covers everyone." Stated Kurama.
"How badly was Shiro hurt?" She asked with concern.
"Just a nice cut across the head." Mika replied.
Hirina quickly ran out the room and downstairs to find Shiro. Hiei helped Kemiko up. "I can get up on my own ya know." Kemiko stated with a little irritation.
"Fine." He stated as he let her go. She grabbed onto the edge of the table to hold herself up. "Didn't think so." He stated with a triumphant look.
Kemiko glared at him as he picked her up and carried her downstairs as the others followed.
Botan approached Koenma's office. Koenma stated firmly, "Botan you better have an explanation for all this from my father!"
Botan nodded, "The conference between Spirit World, Demon World, and the Human World….I kind of…got out of hand….a fight broke out between them."
Koenma sighed, "Call for the gang we need to go and-"
"There's no need for that Koenma." Botan explained.
"And how is that so?" Koenma questioned.
Botan replied, "Your father sent out his best to solve the matter. He said your Spirit Detectives aren't needed on this one. It's only a simple matter."
The ground shook again throwing Koenma out of his seat, "Just a simple matter my ass!" The toddler yelled.
Botan said directly, "That's the orders your father gave me and that's exactly what he said."
"Fine, but if the balance is put out of order, I'll leave him to remain guilty on that one." Koenma stated with a glare.
"But there is one thing for you to do." Botan added.
"Yes?" Koenma asked.
"Your father gave me a note to give to you." Botan responded as she handed over the letter.
Koenma curiously opened it. As he finished reading through it he sighed, "Oh dear…that's not good at all..."
"Sir?" Botan questioned
"They're catching on to her secret. I'm so gonna get my ass kicked by my father if he finds out." Koenma whined.
"Finds out what Koenma sir?" Botan questioned further.
"THAT WE HAVE TWO UNVARIFIED CRIMINALS ON THE TEAM!" Koenma yelled out.
-Downstairs-
The others found Kuwabara on the couch and Yusuke, Syria, and Hirina by Kiyoshi and Shiro. Shiro was now awake with his head in Hirina's lap as she stroked his hair. "Seriously Rina, I'm fine." Shiro stated.
"Yea, just pouring blood from your head, but nah you're fine." Hirina stated with a glare.
Kiyoshi shook his head, "The two have been bickering since he woke up."
"Eh well, whatever." Mika stated. Hiei set Kemiko down on the couch as he sat down beside her. Kemiko rested her head upon his shoulder.
"So what the hell is with all the commotion?" Yusuke asked.
Botan just walked into the room, "There you all are. I've been looking all around the mansion for you!"
"Any word on why Spirit World is having seizures?" Yusuke questioned.
"There was a conference between Spirit World, the Demon World, and the Human World, and it kind of got out of hand. They're fighting right now, so yea, the three worlds are in a spirit energy battle, but Koenma's father order for no Spirit Detectives to go and sort it all out. King Yama stated he'd have his men take care of it." She explained in one big breath.
Kuwabara complained, "What, they think we're weak now and can't fight! I should give those bastards a piece of my mind!"
Yusuke retorted, "You wouldn't last two seconds fighting them. You'd be begging for mercy within the first 5 minutes."
"HEY!" Kuwabara yelled as he put Yusuke in a head lock.
"Did I hit a nerve?" Yusuke questioned as he broke his head lock and hit him over the head.
"Ow!" Kuwabara yelled, "You'll pay for that!"
Yusuke said, "Yea yea, I'm shaking already."
"You better be!" Kuwabara responded.
"Would you two shut it?" Kemiko snapped.
They both looked at her and then turned their backs to each other. "Hmph."
"Bakas." Hiei muttered.
"I wouldn't be talking short stuff!" Kuwabara snapped.
"You'd be careful on what you say, or my sword might slip." Hiei threatened.
Mika jumped between them and yelled, "WOULD YOU ALL SHUT UP! Damn! Sound like a bunch of 3 year olds!"
"You shouldn't be talking." Yusuke muttered.
"WHAT WAS THAT URAMESHI!" Mika snapped about ready to smack him.
Hirina grabbed the back of her shirt with her face faulting, "Down girl down."
Mika glared at her and plopped on the ground still giving Yusuke a death glare.
Shiro said to Kiyoshi, "Seems like the old days, don't ya think?"
Kiyoshi nodded with a small laugh, "Yep, sure does."
Mika hit him in his wound. Kiyoshi yelled out in pain, "What was that for!"
"Stupid idiot." Mika growled.
Syria suddenly burst out laughing. They all stared at her with curiosity. "You all are just frickin hilarious. If I video taped all of this I could make a load of bucks."
"Bucks?" Hiei questioned.
"Another word for neigen money." Kemiko explained.
Hirina shrugged, "Could make a load of money on your and Kurama's little romances." She whispered under her breath. Shiro chuckled for he was the only one who heard her.
Syria glared at her for she knew the comment was about her. "I didn't quite hear that, what'd you say?"
"Nothing." Hirina stated with a snicker.
Just then there was another loud boom with more flashes. Suddenly the power went out. "I'll go get some flashlights." Kurama stated.
Hirina formed a mini fireball in her hand lighting up the room. She then threw it into the fireplace lighting the wood on fire brightening the room.
"Or that works as well." Kurama stated with a shrug. Hirina put on a cheesy smile.
"So what now?" Mika asked.
The room went entirely silent. "Ok…" Syria stated, "I got an idea."
They all looked at her waiting for her to state this brilliant idea. "Well…?"
"You all can tell me about yourselves and such, that way I can get a better idea of what you all are really like and such, ya know? And then I can tell you about myself."
"Alright." Kiyoshi stated with a smirk. "Who first?"
"Hirina?" Syria questioned.
Hirina looked around trying act like no one called her name. "Come on, no need to be shy." Syria teased.
"Shy!" Hirina blurted out, "Shy my ass."
"Ok, then get to talking." Syria responded.
Hirina ran it all through her mind before she said a word….
"Hirina Moronto is it ay?" The man questioned. His features were shadowed by his hood, but he was clearly taller then her 13 year old figure. She pulled at the ropes that were bound around her wrists and legs.
"Well…I want my answer." The man stated with a visible smirk spreading smoothly across his face.
"Yea it is! Now let me go!" Hirina growled.
"Interesting." He stated, "Do you have any siblings?"
"No!" Hirina yelled at him.
"Interesting. Seems like daddy lied to you, but don't listen to me, you'll find out the truth sooner or later." He replied casually.
"What are you talking about!" Hirina questioned.
The man introduced himself, "The name's Kitaru, new leader of the Blood Stained Shadows. We're the…darker side of the Darkness elements. We just have a taste for……murder. Too bad your wretched match destroyed the other half of our group. Fascinating how you as well manage to stumble across our path a few years later, ay?"
Hirina growled, "I don't know what the hell you're talking about, I have no match, and my dad NEVER lied to me! YOU are mistaken on who I am apparently. NOW TELL ME WHY YOU ATTACKED ME!"
"Well, I'll admit, you're pretty difficult to track down and to fight. Cost me 2 of my men and a bunch of them to ambush you at once. I need you to do me a favor my sweet, do you think you could accomplish that?" Kitaru questioned.
"I refuse to do SHIT for YOU!" Hirina spat.
"Aww, well that's too damn bad, for if you don't, you're little mutt friend will be killed, Shiro is the name, right?" Kitaru asked with a smirk.
Hirina's eyes widened, "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HIM!"
"Awww, seems like we found a weak spot, sucks for you doesn't it?" Kitaru questioned even further as his eyes grew darker.
"You'll never kill him! He's more powerful then you think!" Hirina snapped.
He responded with raised eye brows, "Really? That doesn't make sense seeing as my men are right next to him as he sleeps at this very moment ready to stab him in the throat at my command if you refuse to do my biding."
"YOU WOULDN'T!" Hirina yelled with a hint of fear filling her.
Kitaru stated firmly, "Oh I would, don't doubt me."
"And what is it you need me to do for you that you're too pathetically weak to do on your own!" Hirina growled darkly.
Kitaru smiled, "Oh trust that we're not weak, just eliminating the issues of getting caught. You see, if YOU steal the Ancient Prophecies books, every volume from the Spirit World "Hall of Fate" we could easily succeed in figuring out the future for everyone by reading their prophecies, which allows us to better attack our enemies, and……when we get our hands on them…Koenma, the prince of Spirit World, and his father, King Yama, will be murdered for I'll know their own individual futures so I can get them when they have no protection. AND…I could easily murder all those who escaped me. One being your match that killed half my clan. So what do you say? You going to cooperate, or do we need to kill everyone you know one by one?"
Hirina stared at him with such hatred as she yelled, "YOU VILE BASTARD! HOW COULD YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS! HAVE YOU NO HEART!"
Kitaru laughed menacingly, "Of course I have a heart dear, it's just slightly…tinted." He stroked Hirina's cheek. She quickly turned her head away from him. He glared at her and demanded, "I want my answer now, or he dies."
Hirina stared at the wall not believing what she was about to say, "Fine…"
"Wait, what was that?" He asked with a triumphant look across his face.
"I'LL DO IT!" Hirina screamed with rage.
Kitaru laughed.
'What he doesn't know is that once I get those books, I'm running for it. Sorry Shiro, but I must leave to protect you and the holders of Spirit World…forgive me.'
Hirina thought to herself for a moment, 'I still haven't told him why I left for a year, don't plan on it either. None of them need to know. I'm sure Spirit World would lock me up instantly if they found out who did it.'
"Well…" Syria questioned snapping Hirina back to reality.
"Well, I met Kemiko a while back when we, well, happened to be battling the same man. I had attacked him so I wouldn't have to worry about him going after me still, and well, turns out Kemiko had been running from them for a while too. When I snuck through the vents to attack them, I ran into her. We argued with who was to kill them, and well, the ceiling broke through from our weight, and yea…we both ended up having to fight them at once. I've known Shiro for a while since I was about 9, and after meeting Kemiko, I returned back home to see him after running away for a year…and yea…"
Syria curiously asked, "And who's this person you and Kemiko were battling?"
Hirina looked at Kemiko who looked at her and then at Hiei. "Classified information."
Shiro joined in explaining how he had come into the picture, "Like Rina said, I've known her for awhile. Why she ran away…I still don't know." He explained giving Hirina a suspicious look. He continued, "But yea, she returned home with the kitten. And she ended up hanging out around us all more. The rest of Hirina's story collides with mine; Hirina grew up with her father and no mother. Eventually, her dad died and she moved to live with her grandparents, which she didn't get along with. She ran away from their home telling them that she was going to kill herself and lived on her own for some time. I happened to notice the strange girl walking down our alley every night and got curious. Eventually I snuck out to spy on her. After seeing her use some powers of some sort, I grew interesting, for I was just like her, but my parents didn't seem to notice I had powers. We got to know each other more after the first night I actually talked to her, which she nearly killed me…" Shiro sent a glare at her.
"Whatever, you were just weak, and a stalker." Hirina stated.
"Yea yea, as I was saying…We got to know each other better, and well…throughout my life I had very abusive parents that would pretty much beat me every day since I was child. When we were 12, I escaped and ran away from home with help from her and, well, we lived together on our own, until she ran away when she was 13, and didn't return till a year later. And Kemiko started hanging out with us too, knowing we all were demons, there was another person who started to join the new forming group, Kiyoshi."
Kiyoshi spoke up seeing it was his turn as he began to exclaim, "Well, Shiro and I became close buds about a month after Hirina ran away. We met each other within the neighborhood and all. We started hanging out and doing a lot together and such. My own story would be of me living in the demon world until I was about the age of 10 when my parents sent me off to the human world to train with my uncle. He happened to live across the street and bit down the way from where Shiro and Hirina lived. They moved there about 2 years after I lived there. Hirina, well like Shiro said, she disappeared, and we started to hang out more after meeting each other at a block party that the neighborhood had. My story really isn't dramatized in any way, except that I loved the rebel across the street from my uncle's house. She loved to mess with me and always turned me down when I asked her out. Mika, your turn."
Mika smirked at his last statement, "I DID in fact turn down the dork that lived across from me about 67 times before I said yes." She laughed.
"You kept count?" Kiyoshi questioned.
"Yep, I thought it was hilarious." She explained.
Kiyoshi glared at her, "I knew it, you're such an ass."
Mika chuckled, "Yep, and ya love me for it. Anyways, when Kiyoshi moved in the neighborhood some time after I did, I tried to prevent myself from going outside so I wouldn't have to talk to the loser who attempted to flirt with me. Yea, well my life wasn't really peaches and cream in any way. I grew up with my foster parents who lied to me that they were my family. I found out they weren't when I was 7. I never told them I knew though…later when I was 8 both them and myself realized I was a demon, well they called me a devil's child and such. I was kicked out and people went after me thinking I was a threat to them. I ran away from the town I lived in and moved a huge amount of miles away where people never heard of the incident in my town. I searched for my real family and only found out I had an older sister who lived across the street from where Kiyoshi lived a few years later. She welcomed me in her home, and was glad to find me. I learned my parents died when I was very little, about 2 and my sister was 8 at the time. She lived with our aunt and apparently I was kidnapped by some demons and abandoned in a park near my foster parents home. They found me and took me in for the time until I was 8. Back to Kiyoshi and Shiro, I happened to end up hanging out with them at the park near by since the day Kiyoshi found out that that was where I went when he couldn't find me. I went over to Shiro's house more then Kiyoshi's, but he always found me when I went over there. Yea…well one day when we were just hanging out at Shiro's, the doorbell rang. When he went to answer it, well, it happened to be Hirina. You all pretty much know that story. Just the fact Hirina demanded to know who the hell I was at the time." Mika laughed.
"That wasn't funny!" Hirina stated.
Mika laughed further, "The look on your face was priceless."
Hirina glared at her as she turned a bit red. Shiro pinched her cheek, "Aww, you know you were jealous."
Hirina snapped her teeth at him and Shiro removed his hand from her face with a smirk.
Mika continued, "Kemiko, however, she seemed a little interested in the 3 of us when she arrived with Hirina. She moved in with Shiro and I found out Hirina actually lived there before, but yea. Kemiko and I became friends easily since she was friendly. Often we left the house to go places since some wolf girl didn't like me around much. Eventually the tension between us all went and we all started to hang out together…so yea… we all became friends. Later on, my sister left to receive training in the Demon World. I eventually lost contact with her and haven't heard from her since."
Kemiko chimed in, "Well, the main story was explained, but I still got my own details, so yea. I grew up with my mom and dad and my two older brothers. As a child some demotic problems took place and I was cursed with the darkness element and such, so yea, that's why I'm mixed between the two opposites. After that later on, my brother killed my parents and my other brother to gain control. I escaped, but was used as a slave. Later on I ran away from those keeping me captive and lived on my own. I trained on my own determined to seek revenge upon my brother and those who cursed me as a child. I later on at the age of 11 killed my brother. At 13, I met Hirina when I sent out to kill the people who cursed me. I decided to get to know her better afterward. Eventually she stated she needed to return back home and she asked if I wanted to go with her since I really had neither home nor family. I decided to go with. Besides, I was curious about this person she talked about a lot, and it'd be something new in my life. We all pretty much became friends and lived happily after the end." Kemiko snuggled against Hiei and shut her eyes.
"What a great way to end that…" Syria said with a raised eyebrow. "Any one else want to speak up now?"
Hirina stated, "No I think it's your turn now hun."
Syria looked up at them and sighed, "Ok….I'm sure you all pretty much know my story, but I'll tell it any way…"
