DISCAIMER: Hi unfortunately I don't own any of the guys (Damn it! I want Hiei and Kurama/crys) Oh well some how I'll either get over it (yeah right), or I'll find a way to clone them or bring them to life (he he he a girl can dream right?).
"SPEAKING" and 'THINKING/TELEPATHY'
Got it? Good now read my loyal readers, READ! (Yes I'm crazy get over it!)
READ THE VERY BOTTEM IT IS VERY IMPORDANTE'!
Thinking that it was just a dream you get up and walk in front of your mirror and scream when you see a figure that looked much like yourself except…she….it has dark blue with black tipped fox-like ears and a tail! You realize with a start that it IS you but you're in a different form. Your door burst open and the gang stood there panting heavily and looking around your room as if looking for something. When they saw nothing was in the room except for you they started to walk towards you concern written across their faces.
You backed away from them as they came towards you screaming, "get away from me! Just stay away". Them turning you broke through the room's window earning a bunch of cuts from the less-then-appreciative glass.
You fled to the woods ignoring the guy's calls to you. You ran until you were exhausted then climbed up a tree near a lake and looked down into the water at your reflection. 'What happened to me? Who am I? What am I', you silently ask yourself gazing at the reflection. Your exhaustion finally got the better of you and you fell asleep on the branch. You wake up to people calling out your name in search for you.
"Lena! Lena, where are you! Please come out", you hear them shouting, their voices becoming louder as they drew nearer.
You see the gang but notice that Kurama was missing and in his place was a guy that looked sorta like you except he has silver hair, tail, and ears along with being extremely taller than you with piercing golden eyes.
"Lena come down, please! We won't hurt you, we can help if you'll let us", he called out when he spotted you in your tree.
You found yourself somehow trusting this strange person and jumped down. You walk slowly towards him fighting the urge to run away with every step.
"There we go Lena, it's o.k. We won't hurt you I promise", he says in a soothing tone as you draw nearer then asked in the same tones, "Would you like help turning back to normal?"
You slowly nod yes then yelp when you feel your tail being yanked. You turn around quickly your eyes turning red then pitch black as you see Yusuke retreating back to Kuwabara trying suppress his laughter. You suddenly relax as you feel someone start stroking your ears. Looking over your shoulder you see that it is Hiei and then lean on him slightly. Hiei smiled slightly as you mew softly at his touch. You hear Kurama say for you to concentrate on your human form. Hiei stopped stroking your ears so that you could change back to normal. You notice your pants are extremely ripped and your shirt has a few gigantic rips in it as well and groan since the shirt was one of your favorites. You yawn cutely allowing Hiei to pick you up bridal style and carried home. You ended up falling asleep to the steady beat of his heart and snuggled up against his warm chest. You wake up the next morning and find yourself using Hiei's chest as a pillow with his arm across your shoulders. Silently you gently move his arm off you and get up to take a shower and change. You ended up wearing a outfit almost exactly like yesterday's except that your shirt was a black tank-top with the words 'Devil in Disguise' in red across your chest. You decide to wear your hair down and after running your brush through it you walked towards the kitchen. You jump slightly when you hear a gigantic snoring contest going on between Yusuke and Kuwabara then giggle noticing that obviously Kuwabara was winning. You decide to make the guys a nice breakfast since they were so nice to you yesterday. Walking outside you pick a few apples off a tree and head back inside to get the rest of the stuff out. Going through the cabinets, you grab out pancake batter, cinnamon, milk, eggs, and bacon along with a couple of tea bags since you don't have any coffee. After about 10 minutes, people started drifting in at the wonderful smells of the food. When you finish everyone is sitting down at the hand-made table waiting for you to be finished. You served each of them 3 apple-cinnamon pancakes and 8 pieces of bacon along with a cup of tea. You walk back to the counter and grab an apple to munch on for breakfast.
"Hey Lena, aren't you going to have some of the food you cooked", Hiei asks getting up noticing you weren't going to have bacon or pancakes.
"No Hiei, I'm good. I'm not that hungry any ways, but arigato for your concern", you say pushing him back towards the table.
Kuwabara decided that he wanted to try to embarrass you so he said, "Hey look! The shrimp found himself a shrimp!"
You walk over to the table and snatch his food off the table and say, "Well then, I guess you don't want these."
You made Kuwabara beg for his food before you gave it back to him allowing the others plenty of time to laugh at him. After everyone was finished you started to do the dishes and accidentally dropped one of the plates but caught it with your foot right before it hit the ground.
While you were doing that you hear Yusuke tell the others, "Hey we should probably complete our mission and take Lena to Koenma now."
At his words you lost your concentration and dropped the plate onto the floor shattering it into millions of little pieces in shock.
"What! You were ordered to come and get me! So all this time you were just cozying up to me? You were just playing with me like a cat plays with a mouse? I trusted you guys! I thought you were my friends, that you cared about me", you scream at them standing in the doorway of the living room. "I can't believe I let myself get blinded by your "supposed" kindness, by your fake concern! All you really cared about was your fucking mission," at those words you turn and run back to the kitchen and out the back door towards the woods changing into your kitsune form (Black fox with red at the tips of your ears and 4 tails).
You were about to cry but forced your tears down reminding yourself of your promise and ran faster trying to forget them. At that moment you only cared about trying to escape, to escape from the hurt, the pain, the confusion, and even yourself. Finally you collapsed unable to go any further and transformed back into your human form. You end up passing out from your exhaustion and while you were out a couple of demons kidnapped you mistaking you for a ningen (human). When you finally wake up you find yourself on the ground with your hands and feet bound and your mouth gagged. You hear someone coming and pretend to still be out but are kicked "awake" by the person. You yelp forcing your eyes open and see that one of your captors was pretty cute (he is about 5' 10", shoulder-length brown hair, blue eyes, and is in all black). He smiled ads he looked at you with an expression on his face that you didn't like in the least.
"Shiro," you hear him call out in a whining voice.
"What is it now Kiro," you hear another man say walking out of the shadows, you gasp slightly when you see that he looks almost exactly like his brother except that he has blond hair and is wearing all red.
"Can I please," Shiro whined again.
"No neither you or me can. You know that master Neko will torture us if we do. He wants us to allow him to see all of the human looking girls we kidnap because he's still looking for the girl from that village," he replies with a hint of longing in his voice.
"Yeah but what if-," Shiro start to say but is cut off.
"I want to too, but we can't," Kiro says.
They start to bicker about you and you decide to take advantage of their distraction to call out for help mentally. Finally, when you were about to give up you receive a reply from Hiei.
'Where are you? Are you o.k.,' he asks, the worry evident in his mind voice.
'Yeah, at least for now. I'm in a cave with a couple of demons that are fighting over me and I don't even want to think of what they'll do to me,' you say desperately.
Hiei told you to not try anything and to just relax and that they'd be there soon. After the connection was broken you started to wish that you hadn't and that you had just gone with them to see this Koenma person. You almost gave up hope of them coming after about 10 minutes after the conversation was over.
Your eyes widened in shock when you heard Kiro say, "Well, I suppose we can get a "closer" look at this one's body."
As they started walking over you see Hiei and Kurama run into the cave. After they slaughtered the demon brothers they came over and untied you.
You stood up a little shakily and said in a small voice filled with sorrow, "Hiei, Kurama I'm sorry about running off and shouting at you guys. If it weren't for you two, I don't know what would've happened to me."
"No Lena, we are the ones who should be sorry. You were right when you said that in a way we were playing with you. But-," Kurama held up a hand as you started to interrupt. "But you were wrong when you said that we didn't care and that we were just pretending to be your friends. There, now you can speak."
You struggled to find your voice for a few minutes and finally said in an emotionless voice, "Please take me to Koenma's."
Kurama just sighed and agreed saying that the others were probably already there. Hiei walked over to you and put a blindfold over your eyes. You felt a whoosh of air and was unblindfolded. Looking around you see a bunch of weird looking creatures working in an office. You see Hiei grab your hand and allow yourself to be led through a maze of offices and finally arrive at Koenma's office.
"So, where's this Koenma person," you ask looking around. "Hey kid, could you stop poking my shin and go and get him for me? I'll give ya a lollypop," you say seeing a small figure poking you in the shin.
"That will not be necessary Lena, for I am Koenma," you jump when you hear him speak and blush with embarrassment as the Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama started laughing. "Stop laughing now! I demand respect," Koenma shouted trying to regain his dignity. "Now Lena, you might want to sit down when I tell you about yourself and your kind," he continued when the others gained their composure. "You're an elemental youko Lena, the last one in existence at that. Are you with me so far? Good. I have a proposition for you. I want you to join Team Urameshi. You'll receive training to control your powers, be paid and get free rooming," Koenma said trying to temp you.
You frown and reply, "What's the catch Koenma, sir."
You hear Yusuke burst out laughing at your attitude with the small god along with Kuwabara. Kurama was fighting to hold back his laughter by putting on a scolding face while Hiei just smirked at your suspiciousness of Koenma and thought, 'She's not as stupid as I thought.'
Unfortunately for him you were unknowingly using your telepathic powers and heard him. Whipping around you turn on him, "Excuse me HIEI? I heard that you fucking little asshole! You got a problem with me? HUH?"
Everyone in the room recoiled away from you at your anger except for Hiei who just looked surprised. Your shot him a glare that would make hell freeze over and shot a powerful blast of lightning at him which barley missed him, instead it made a huge hole in the wall and hit a couple of the ogres disintegrating them.
"O.k. Lena, calm down I think that Hiei gets your point. Right Hiei," Kurama asked when he saw what you could do to any of them.
"Hn, I guess. Sorry Lena for insulting you," Hiei said in a surprised voice.
You give him one last glare with your still blood red eyes then close them and focus on relaxing before turning back to Koenma waiting for an answer.
Koenma gulped and asked, "Um, uh Lena are your eyes normally black?"
You sigh exasperated, "Yes, at least when I'm apathic again like I WAS before SOMEONE had to insult me. Now answer the damn question squirt before I do that to you."
Koenma backed away when he saw your eyes turning blood red again and answered quickly, "Y-you'll have to c-compete i-in tournaments and go on m-missions f-for m-me."
"And if I don't want to," you ask letting your eyes seep back to black.
"Well, um uh…We'll be forced to kill you because your powers would go out of control and be a danger to yourself and everyone around you," Koenma says getting ready to duck for cover.
All you do is sigh and nod, "Fine…I'll join the bloody team but I'm warning you all, piss me off bad enough and you won't live long enough afterwards to even breathe."
Everyone nodded at least slightly scared, even Hiei who was remembering the lightning blast you had shot at him earlier.
"Well then, uhhh… Welcome to the team Lena! Um Boton, please take Lena to her temporary room please," Koenma said breaking the silence with a cheerful smile to go along with his words as he instructed the blue-haired girl.
You shoot him another glare and allow yourself to be steered away by Boton only to be stopped by Kurama's voice, "Hey Lena go ahead and get changed into something nice 'cause we're going out to dinner in an hour or so. One of us will let you know when it's time to go."
You nod and silently follow Boton out of the room and blocked out her voice as she started to talk nonstop. 'Damn that girl's got a set of lungs on her, anyone whose around her long enough would be lucky if their ears still worked properly,' you think to yourself. After about 10 minutes of walking you two finally reach your room. Opening the door you instantly decide that you like it, with it's black walls and flooring, dark navy blue ceiling, black satin covers and blood red pillows and complete with a windowsill that you could sit on and stare out into the night.
"Thanks Boton, it's perfect for me," you say in a sweet voice portraying any true emotion towards her at the moment.
Boton smiled widely at you and said, "That's great! O.k. my room is down the hall 2 doors to the left, Yusuke's is in between ours, Kuwabara's is across from Yusuke's, Kurama's is across from mine, and Hi-"
"Let me guess, Hiei's is across from my room right," you finish for her enjoying the look of surprise on her face then turn around and walk back into your room shutting the door in her face.
You start to poke around the room and soon discover that they had moved your stuff into the room. 'Shimatta! They went through my fucking house! Yep one of them's gonna die,' you think evilly to yourself. Sighing you walk to the closet you take out a black kimono with a blood red sash which quickly hid a couple of athemes in the folds since you couldn't wear your gloves with this dress. 'Shit, I hope they don't notice my scars on my ankles,' you think sullenly to yourself before putting on a pair of black high heels and sigh in relief when you see that the kimono covered them. After adding some make-up to your face you sit down on the windowsill and stare out at the sunset forcing yourself to relax. About an hour later you hear someone creep into the room.
"It's called knocking Hiei, ya know as in tapping on the door before you come in," you say annoyed.
"What are you looking at," Hiei said ignoring the insult.
You smirk and reply, "Nothing actually. Now, how can I help you Hiei?"
"Damn, so touchy…I was just letting you know that we're ready to go for dinner," Hiei said in a slightly hurt voice.
"Oh, sorry…Didn't mean to be mean or anything but I've had a tough life and this is major info. for me to digest. Now let's go before the others come looking," you say apologetically then grab Hiei's hand lightly and pull him out of the room.
"Lena, you look absolutely gorgeous," Kurama complemented you at the restaurant as soon as you five were seated.
"Uh, thanks I think," you say unsure as to take his words as a compliment.
"Hey Lena, I thought that you didn't have very much money and that Kimono looks like it's a very expensive one," Yusuke asks accusingly.
You sigh trying not to let your anger get to you then reply, "I don't Yusuke, you guys are gonna kill me when I tell you this but this was stolen…I stole this along with all of my other clothes and shoes plus I had to steal food to eat. You 4 didn't really expect me to have eaten ONLY apples in the time I've been alive did you? Anyway if I didn't steal all of that stuff then I would be walking around in either rags or in the nude. Oh! The foods here!" You mentally sigh thanking whatever gods were out there for the interruption because you were receiving scolding looks from everyone except for Hiei. 'Damn, they sure know how to make a person feel small,' you think trying to ignore their looks.
Kurama looked over at you and noticed that along with playing in your less-than-half eaten soup you were looking extremely pale and asked, "Lena are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm just a little worn out that's all," you quickly lie then add, "I'll see you guys back at Koenma's tomorrow o.k.? Bye!" You stand up and walk out of the restaurant a little dizzily. Suddenly you………….
Ha Ha! A cliffy what fun! See Ya! Oh and please review…I DO NOT WANT TO WASTE MY TIME WRITING A STORY THAT NO ONE LIKES!
