So I made a gigantic CLIFFHANGER in the last chapter. What do you think will happen next? Well read on.
------------------------------**********************------------------------------
CHAPTER 5
'Oh crap! I'm screwed now,' thought Kioko. Everything that happened to her since she was a little fox demon pup had ended with that one moment in her life when she started hating Kurama, she was reliving that moment.
--Flashback--
--Kioko's POV--
I had come home from a stormy, rainy day only to find two of most beautiful creatures I had ever looked up to while hating them at the same time, were lying bloody on the floor of their house, my parents. I thought this was just was nightmare yet it was something that I wished would happen for so long since I could walk and talk. When I was younger, whatever little mistake that was made whether I did it or not, I still got blamed for it and punished. I'd always end up with a bunch of bruises, scars, or cuts all over my body. I always had to go my brother, Youko for help. I wondered why my mother and her father feared my brother when we looked exactly alike except I was a female. Now the two people that caused so much pain for my in my childhood were dead. I saw a figure in the shadows which I saw to be my brother. His hand was smoking from some attack he used. Knowing him it must have been some plant attack ((*cough*plant freak*cough*)). He'd always specialized in different types of plant attacks. I on the other hand was still trying to figure out what types of attacks I could do.
I saw my brother walking out of the shadows with a dirty smile on his face, "What did you do?" anger filled my voice.
"We're free now, they can't hurt you now," he replied.
I was shocked of hearing his meaning of being 'free'. "You call this being free?!?! We're not free yet; they haven't let us go yet."
My brother didn't say anything. I couldn't stay and look at him any longer, I turned ran far away from him, waiting for him to come and find me, but he never did.
--End of flashback--
It was then I started to train and figuring out what my powers was. I discovered that I got my fathers powers, possessing the power to control all elements of the earth. It wasn't long till I met Kai and he became the brotherly figure that I never had.
I thought I had forgotten that day which I longed to forget, I was wrong. I started remembering everything when I saw him.
--Author's POV--
'It's her,' thought Kurama.
Kioko pulled back a bit, 'Time for quick getaway number 2.' "Ha-ha, hi, I gotta go bye," with that Kioko took off running at full speed.
Kurama was about to grab her but was too late, she already took off. Lucky for Kurama she ran pass Yusuke, who was talking to Botan, who was outside floating on her oar.
"Yusuke, the roof!"
"What?"
"She's heading for the roof!"
"Botan, find Keiko and Kuwabara and meet us at the roof."
Kurama and Yusuke picked up speed and starting gaining on Kioko.
Kioko looked back and started to panic, 'Crap! Why do they not teach us how to handle these things in school? Better start flying.' She lifted off the ground and flew up the flight of stairs that were headed to the roof.
"She can fly?!" yelled Yusuke.
"Hell, I don't know. I haven't seen her in about 200+ years so I'm not sure what she can do 100%," replied Kurama.
By the time Yusuke and Kurama got to the roof, Kurama thought she had slipped away again. He was wrong. She was actually standing there in front of him, glaring with the same emerald eyes that Kurama possessed. Heck, it looked like he was staring at a reflection of himself. It was until a few minutes later when Botan, Keiko, and Kuwabara arrived.
'Hiei where are you?' thought Kurama. He knew eventually Hiei will get here so he decided to ask "Are you Kioko?" Coincidentally, Hiei arrived right after Kurama said the last words of his question. Hiei was about to attack Kioko from behind when she smirked, jumped and did a spin kicked Hiei to the ground.
"I've grown a lot stronger during the past 200+ years, brother," Kioko finally answered. She paused a bit before she said 'brother'.
'Kai get your sorry ass over on the school roof pronto!' Kioko yelled in her mind.
Kai appeared on the side of Kioko saying "What's up?"
Before giving an answer, Kioko gave Kai a big slap behind his head making him fall face flat onto his face.
*Kai makes a sad puppy dog face* and cried while rubbing the back of his head "What the hell was that for?"
Kioko pointed in the direction of Kurama and the other Spirit Detectives, "That's what that was for. You jinxed my karma!!"
"Uhhhh…sorry?"
Kioko made a stern face, "I will deal with you when we get home."
"Ahem."
"Hmmm…oh, proceed with your questions," Kioko stated.
"Just who the hell are you?" Yusuke asked rudely.
"Who am I? Didn't I already answer that?" Kioko asked mockingly.
The Spirit Detectives looked at her with serious faces, in no mood for jokes.
"Ugh, fine. I am Kioko. I am Kurama's twin sister. You happy?" Kioko answered.
"Sure. Whatever, how do we know that you're not lying?" questioned Yusuke.
Kioko floated about ten inches off the ground and smoke started to surround her. A shadowed figure started walking out of the smoke, Kioko in her fox demon form.
"Enough evidence for you?" Kioko started to change back.
"Unlike you Kurama, I learned how to revert back to demon form whenever I wanted, but I also gained much more than that," Kioko said slyly.
Yusuke, Hiei, and Kuwabara looked at her warily since she didn't state what she gained.
"If you are his twin sister, why are running from him?" Botan asked.
"Kurama didn't tell you? Of course he didn't. Knowing him he'd always leave that one detail of his life out," Kioko declared.
Kurama stammered a bit, knowing what Kioko was talking about but didn't want to remember.
Kioko continued, "Coincidentally it was a stormy rainy day, when he performed that act, an act that I have always hated him for doing," she paused before continuing, "He killed our parents."
The Spirit Detectives were shocked to hear this, knowing that it was Kurama and figured that he would never do such a thing.
Finally Kurama started to make out a sentence "I, I, I thought you hated our parents?"
"It's true I do, and still do but that didn't give the right to murder them. When you said we were free, we're not free yet Kurama, they haven't let us go. We still carry their burden upon us," Kioko felt angered that he never told his fellow Spirit Detectives what he's really like.
"Thanks to you our family has bad reputation."
"What?!?! It wasn't all me, you did your fair share of giving the bad reputation to family," Kurama argued.
"I don't steal things like you, I don't make it obvious like you do. I'm a con artist, I steal things small, small yet worth a lot. Small as in they don't notice it's gone until maybe three weeks later!"
Kurama didn't have a comeback for this. He just stood there looking at the ground.
"If we're done here then we'll be leaving," Kioko snapped her fingers and out appeared a small red gem.
Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama, and Kuwabara were poised to attack at a moments notice.
Kioko smirked, "Relax I'm not gonna attack, it's not worth my time anyway."
Yusuke, Hiei, and Kuwabara took this as an insult.
Kioko took out two gems from her hair, "Red and blue are for storage," she took two more gems, "Green is for attacks, and yellow is for long distance transportation." She put away three of the gems but left the blue gem out, "Kurama you remember Akina right?"
Kurama was shocked hearing that Akina was still alive; he thought she died but Kioko must've taken her with her when she ran away. Akina was the family pet; she was a fox pup when Kioko must've taken her.
Kioko threw and smashed the gem on the ground, smoke started to surround them. When the smoke cleared, a beautiful white fox demon on all fours appeared before them. She started to growl and the Spirit Detectives.
"She doesn't remember you Kurama," Kioko stated.
Kai and Kioko climbed onto Akina and flew away from the school building.
Yusuke was still a little confused and wanted more answers. He started powering up and fired a spirit gun at them, "You're not getting away that easily!"
Kioko looked back and floated off Akina. She told Kai "Take over! Don't forget to clean up after yourself," Kai knew she mean clean up for trail of energy so they won't be to follow them home.
"Time to have a little fun," Kioko's eyes started to glow white, she rubbed her hands together that were also glowing white, she faced her palms toward the Spirit Detectives, beams of water shot out canceling the Yusuke's spirit gun and headed straight for the Spirit Detectives. Botan grabbed Keiko onto her oar and flew to safety while the Spirit Detectives dodged the attack. They were about to retaliate but weren't able to when Kioko fired another attack this time with fire. She created a wall of fire blocking them from following her home.
By the time the fire cleared up, Kioko and Kai had fled leaving the Spirit Detectives no clue in following them.
Kurama knew she grew in size and in power, "Impressive," was all that he said.
