Water and Fire
Summary: There are only four elementals that walk the three worlds. Fire, Water, Earth and Wind. United, they could rule the world. When the YYh gang finds the elemental of Water, they must keep her hidden, so that a horribly powerful prophecy does not become a reality. But what will the other elementals do when they find out that she is being kept from them? Will she and a certain fire apparition become closer than they should be? Read to find out. RATED T FOR LANGUAGE!

Previously:
"AHHH! HIEI MAKE IT STOP!" she whimpered through her tears of pain as she clutched her forehead and fell onto the floor. Hiei was soon by her side, picking her up bridal style. But Kiya still held her forehead and when Hiei picked her up, she only screamed louder. Hiei didn't know what was going on, so he had to get her to Koenma's….fast.
That's when Kiya passed out, falling limp in the fire apparition's arms
-----------------------------
"Master Markusho, it is almost time." A tall blue youkai said to a figure who sat, dressed in a black cloak on a throne.
"That it is, Lutuko. Send for the elementals.. I believe it's time we had a little….talk."
-----------------------------
Chapter 11: Ugh, Girl Time
Hiei along with Kurama, Yusuke and Kuwabara barged into the Palace's infirmary where the still unconscious Kiya lay on a small bed, Koenma and Yukina were at her side.
Hiei marched up to Koenma, who was in his toddler form, and grabbed the collar of his shirt roughly and brought him up to his face.
"What. Is. Going. On?" Hiei growled in the scariest voice ever heard coming from the small fire apparition's mouth.
"P-put me down Hiei." Hiei dropped him and Koenma stumbled a bit before floating. "It seems that someone has contacted Kiya-" he was cut off by a whimper and a shift in her position by Kiya. Koenma continued while looking at Kiya. "Whoever it is that has the hold on her mind is showing her a vision. By the look on Kiya's face we can tell that it is not a pleasant one." Just then, a screen popped down from the ceiling. "Ah, here it is. This screen will show us what's going on in her mind. What she's seeing."
The screen turned on and what the group saw had everyone's save Hiei's jaw drop. A low growl was being emitted from him instead.
-------------------------
There Kiya was, in the middle of a field. Or-what was left of one.
Bodies were scattered everywhere, and most of them were recognizable. They were all surrounding Kiya, making some-what of a circle around her. Kiya was visibly hurt. She looked at a body-it's red hair falling limply around it's owner's face. Kiya crouched down and brushed aside the hair, revealing the pale face of Kurama. Blood trickled down the side of his face from a large wound on his forehead.
--------------------------
Kurama's eyes widened.
--------------------------
They all watched as Kiya's eyes began to tear and she soon turned her attentions to the bodies behind her. Yusuke's, Kuwabara's. Koenma's, Botan's, Yukina's, Genkai's and Keiko's. Kiya just stood there, not knowing what to do. All of her friends had died. She didn't know how, but they were all here, lying on the ground, dead. All but one.
"Looking for this?" Came a harsh deep voice as it hissed the word 'this' form behind Kiya. Kiya turned around slowly to see the familiar fire elemental dressed in black pants, a crimson shirt and a long red cape on as he looked at Kiya with piercing yellow eyes and tossed a body to the ground. Kiya's eyes fell from the elemental's face to the body on the ground at his feet. It had it's back to Kiya, it's usually tall black hair now falling limply on the ground, it's black tank top ripped and pants bloody.
"HIEI!" Kiya yelled as she quickly ran to the body and turned it over, to see that Hiei was still barely alive. Blood ran freely down the side of his face and neck.
Hiei's crimson orbs looked up into Kiya's silver ones……….and time froze. (A/N in Kiya's mind, not in real life)
Kiya was not frozen however, which confused her. The elemental in front of her cleared his throat to show that he too had not been affected by the time freeze.
"This has just been a brief showing of what is in your future, Kiya." He spoke.
She looked up at him and hissed, "What did you do?"
"It's not what I did, Kiya, but what you did not."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"It means that this is what will happen if you do not give in to your destiny and join me."
"Who are you?"
"My name is Jasaro. I am the Elemental of Fire and one of the four future rulers of the world." He leaned down and grabbed Kiya by the wrist and pulled her to her feet. He then snaked an arm around her waist and pulled her roughly to him and he spoke softly into her ear.
------------------
If it weren't for the fact that everyone in the room was too busy paying attention to the screen, they would've heard a low growl sprouting from Hiei.
------------------
Jasaro's breath tickled Kiya's neck as he spoke, making her shudder. "And your future mate, Kiya-koi."
At this comment, Kiya ripped herself out of Jasaro's arms and backed away from him. "WHAT? I REFUSE!"
"It's not a choice for you to make, Kiya. Besides, when the world is ours, im sure I will be able to change your feelings towards me. But im afraid that I must leave you for now. I will be back, I promise."
That's when Jasaro turned to face the screen, looking directly into the eyes of the Rekai Tantei, "You cant hide her. No matter how hard you try. She will be mine and there's nothing you can do to stop it." He stood there for a moment glaring straight into the eyes of Hiei, who glared right back. Then, the screen went blank and Kiya shot up, gasping for air and sweating profusely.
Everybody looked at her sympathetically and she glanced around at everyone, then at the screen. She knew what that meant.
"You guys saw everything, didn't you?"
"Yes we did," said Koenma.
Kiya sighed and said, "Is it true what he said, is that really what's going to happen if I don't join them?"
Koenma was silent for a moment and said, "There's no way to really know."
Kiya nodded.
"Uh, Kiya, due to recent events, I believe that it would be best if you moved in with Genkai for a while. You'd be safer there than you are at your apartment."
It wasn't Kiya who objected, but Yusuke instead. "WHAT? Grandma will put her through hell! Besides, im right next door to her apartment, don't you think she'd be safe there, too?"
Koenma paused and said, "No."
Yusuke got a sweatdrop.
Kiya was so caught up in everything right now that she didn't even argue.
------------------------
Kiya was at her apartment, packing all her important belongings, when a knock came from her front door.
She walked over to the door and opened it, so see….
Botan, Keiko and Yukina.
"Hello, Hello, Kiya!" said Botan in her cheery voice that made Kiya always want to back away from her slowly, as she and the other two walked in through her door.
"Come on in." Kiya mumbled to herself, closing the door behind them. "Okay, you all came here for a reason, what is it?"
"Well…..since school's still out and you have to go to Genkai's tomorrow, we figured we could have a girl's night and take you over to Genkai's in the morning!" Stated Keiko.
Yukina and Botan nodded in agreement.
"Oh…..that's nice of you guys, it really is, but I think I'd rather be alone right now…." Botan interrupted her.
"Nonsense! What you need now is company. Come on, it'll be fun! We could watch movies, give eachother make-overs and….."
"Woah, woah, hold on. I do Not do the whole make-over thing."
"Okay…….I guess that means we're watching a movie, then. Yukina, get the popcorn."
Kiya watched as the three of them made themselves rriigghhtt at home. I mean, Kiya did appreciate them caring and all, but what she needed right now was some time to think.
---oh well. The way her life was going, Kiya figured she would never get another chance like this. So she plopped onto her couch and asked Keiko, "What movie are we watching?"
"The Notebook."
Heellllllllllll no. (A/N sorry notebook lovers) Kiya did NOT do the romance movie thing. Mm-mm.
Kiya got up to leave the living room, when Keiko and Botan sat on both sides of her, pinning her to the couch. "Aw, just watch it."
Kiya huffed, "Fine, but you all better be ready for some good ol' fashion revenge when this is over."
And so, Yukina came back into the living room, carrying a bowl of popcorn. She seated herself on the other side of Botan on the couch and they watched the movie.
Oh the romantic horror. Kiya gagged out loud twice.
When the movie was over-thank kami- Keiko brushed away a tear that fell down her cheek, Yukina was smiling dreamily and Botan….to put it simply…was balling.
"That's so sweet!" said Botan between sobs and Kiya got an evil grin on her face.
"Alright, I sat through that thing you call a movie, now you have to do what I want you to. I know, lets play a little game of dare or dare."
"Dare or dare? Isn't there supposed to be a truth in there?" asked Keiko.
"Nope. You can only do dares and im the one that will give them to you. Alright, Botan, dare or dare."
"Dare."
Kiya thought about this one, then got an evil grin. "I dare you to go to Koenma's office and give him a kiss-on the lips-even if he's in his toddler form. Oh, and we get to go with you, just to make sure you do it."
To say that Botan was pale would have been an understatement.
Keiko and Yukina giggled and Kiya just stood there with her arms crossed, a smirk on her lips.
Botan groaned and she stated, "Koenma, portal." Barely above a whisper.
A portal appeared in the middle of the room and they all stepped through, Kiya pushing Botan to go first.
Koenma, who of course, thought this was some kind of an emergency, immediatlystood up in his chair and yelled, "What is it? What happened."
Yes, he's in his toddler form. Prepare to taste baby slobber, Botan. Kiya thought gleefully to herself.
Botan walked….no……slumped over to Koenma's desk, her face a deep shade of crimson. "Botan, what is the meaning of—" he was cut off by the ferry-girl taking the pacifier out of his mouth and planting a quick kiss on his lips. She quickly backed away and gave Koenma back his binky.
Kiya was rolling on the
floor, clutching her stomach, laughing her ass off. Kiya was
nearly crying when she looked up and saw Koenma, who was just staring
at
Botan, his face also bright red, his binky hanging limply from
his lip. Kiya pointed at Koenma, managing to say a few words in
between her roars of laughter.
"….baby………red……HAHAHAHAAH!" she continued to laugh even while Botan quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her through the portal quickly, closely followed by Yukina and Keiko, who were giggling.
When in her living room once again, Kiya had to hold onto the wall for support while she sustained her laughter.
"Okay../laugh/…Keiko and Yu /laugh/ kina, uh, you two will be /laugh/ doing your dare together." Kiya finished, and was now taking deep breaths from laughing so hard. When she was finally able to talk, she told them, "Kuwabara and Yusuke are next door. They're asleep by now but we're all going to go in there and.." she pulled the three of them into a circle and whispered her plan to them. When she was done, Yukina gasped and stepped back.
"But what will Kazuma-san think?"
"I don't know, Yukina. C'mon, just do it, please?"
"Oh, alright. I suppose it will be quite….entertaining." Yukina said, suppressing a giggle.
"Okay, lets go."
"Wait, Kiya, how will we get into his apartment? Is Atsuko home?" Asked Keiko.
"No, Atsuko went out of town for a couple of days with her friends, Yusuke told me. And…" Kiya held up a single key on a ring. "I made a copy of his key."
The girls laughed and quietly snuck out of Kiya'a apartment and across the hallway. Kiya carefully un-locked the door and they all shuffled inside to see Yusuke and Kuwabara out cold in the living room. Yusuke was on the couch and Kuwabara was on the love-seat.
HA! A tall oaf like Kuwabara trying to fit his entire body on a love-seat? He was scrunched up in a ball, and his feet still hung over the side of the small couch. Thank kami he wasn't sucking on his thumb again-Kiya didn't think that she could've handled that blasted 'slurping' noise.
They all quietly advanced on the sleeping duo and somehow got them onto the floor without waking them. Kiya pulled out the kimono that Yukina let her borrow and smirked menacingly.
