Episode 20: Lover's Connection. A Secret Revealed
Yuusuke grimaced slightly as they entered the tennis court. It was not in use at the moment, so the lights were off. It was so quiet that their footsteps echoed in the large room. From what he could see, no one was there.
"I'll check the guy's locker room," Kuwabara offered, already heading across the large room to where the locker room doorway was.
The rest of the stood awkwardly in the room. "There isn't anywhere in here that he could of fallen or anything. Just the enterance doorway and the two for the locker rooms," Kurama observed.
"Where should we look next?" Keiko asked.
"Maybe someone should go back to the cafeteria and wait, just in case he was on his way afterall," Yukina pointed out. "Then the rest of us should seperate into groups and work our way up the floors. There isn't a lot of places that he could be, since the top five floors are just vistor rooms."
It was then that the enterance way door slammed shut, blotting out the light from the hallway. There was light coming from the windows, but Yuusuke still felt a chill go down his spine. Something was wrong with this situation. Every instinct he had told him to get out of this room as soon as possible. However, the others seemed calm about the sudden blackness and he didn't want to look like he was afraid of the dark. Because he wasn't, this situation was just unsettling him a lot.
"What are you guys doing here?" someone asked from the doorway.
It was shadowed, but Yuusuke recognized Sho's form. "Hey, we've been looking for you. You're missing breakfast," he called to the other, a grin on his lips.
"Why would you be looking for me here?" Sho questioned, stepping forward.
"Miya said this is where she lost you," Keiko replied.
It was then that Miya have a strange laugh. "Oops, my mistake. Now that I think about it, Sho and I have been together all morning after all. Besides during the brief break that I came to get you," she stated.
"What's going on?" Kuwabara questioned, having just returned from the locker rooms. "Sho, you weren't lost?"
The youth gave him a grim smile. "Not for a minute. Sorry that we have to get the rest of you involved with this," he replied.
"I must say, I thought at least one of you would of been suspicious. However, all of you fell nicely into our trap," Miya stated.
"Trap?" Kurama questioned.
The young girl instantly snapped her attention to him. "Yes, a trap. So good of you to finally figure it out. This entire thing has been set up as a trap to get you. To get rid of you, more specifically. How long did you think I would allow you to manipulate Hiei? How long did you think I would quietly sit in the background while you led him on, just as you did my mother, only to leave him for dead once he no longer suited your fancy? I'm going to get my revenge on you, Youko Kurama. Here and now!" she exclaimed.
Before they could react, Miya shot her hand forward. Yuusuke felt something hit his body and he went flying backward. He slammed into the wall, and struggled against the sticky substance that held him there. However, no matter what he did, it wouldn't loosen.
The other's were trapped as well, struggling against the black substance only to find that they were unable to escape from it either.
"Miya, what are you doing?" Yukina cried out.
"As I said, I'm sorry you had to get involved with this. However, Miya is only after Kurama. The rest of you won't be harmed," Sho replied for his sister.
Yuusuke's eyes instantly found his best friend, one of the only two who had not been captured by whatever was presently holding him down. Hiei had been knocked to the floor and was just starting to get up, while Kurama was standing in front of Miya.
"What are you hoping to gain by this? Do you think Hiei would forgive you for killing me? Do you think my friends will just sit back and let you do this? Do you think I won't fight back?" Kurama questioned.
Miya snickered at him. "You friends can't do anything about this. And I doubt you have the power to stop me. As for Hiei, you might of clouded his mind but I'm certain that once you're destroyed he'll see that I'm much more suited for him than a bastard like you ever would be," she replied.
Yuusuke tensed and thrashed again, although it still proved to have no affect on whatever was holding him against the wall. "I might not be able to do anything right now, but make no mistake that I'll do whatever it takes to stop you from hurting my best friend," he yelled.
The young girl looked up at him. "You, above everyone else, should understand why I'm doing this. Your father is like him. Someone who abandons a woman that loves him and the children that need him."
Shaking his head, Yuusuke continued to struggle. "My father is nothing like Kurama. He didn't abandon your mother to hurt her. She knew full well what she was getting into, unlike my mother. Sure, Kurama might of slept with her and left her, but he isn't even like that anymore. Today's Kurama is completely different!"
Miya sighed, turning her attention back to the redhead. "He just doesn't understand does he? Of course, you do. I can tell when I look into your eyes that you know exactly why I'm going to kill you. There is nothing you can do to stop me," she stated.
"I'll fight you," Hiei put in, coming to stand next to Kurama.
"Don't you see? I'm doing this for you. To save you the pain that this bastard will cause you. He left you once. Perhaps it was the fault of death, but what is to stop him from leaving you again. He's manipulating you, so he can get what he wants from your body. Once he's gotten it, he'll leave you. Just like he left my mother," Miya said.
"I don't believe that," Hiei replied, his eyes narrowing.
"Kurama loves him!" Yuusuke yelled.
"What would you know about it?" Miya suddenly yelled back, her angry features spinning to Yuusuke. "You should know more than anyone why I want revenge. Anyone with senses can tell you are half demon. You are just like me! If you had the chance, wouldn't you find the jerk that impregnated your mother, then left?"
Yuusuke felt his entire body freeze, as did his mind as her words sank into his brain. "What?" he finally stammered.
"Oh, you didn't know? Another secret Hiei and Yukina have kept from this group, I see. Yes, Urameshi Yuusuke, we are more similar than you seem to think. Just like Youko Kurama, a demon thought your mother made a good bedmate but certainly not a suitable lifemate. Now do you understand? I have to avenge my mother for the pain Kurama caused her!" Miya declared.
