Attention: I know that Kurabara is the way that it is spelled, but in Poltergeist Report it is Kurahara and I will continue to spell it as such.
Yu Yu Hakusho does not belong to me, for the exception of Alicia. The plot I have not seen it anywhere else so that is so, so.
I've only seen a few episodes and one movie of Yu Yu Hakausho so please forgive me if any of the characters are out of character.
Thank you Alli-dunno for reviewing the last chapter, to tell you the truth I'm trying to keep it even between the characters just wanting to have their own time in the story so that we can all see all the characters that we love within the story, even the new ones.
Chapter Twelve
Walking though the park was something that she did not do as much now of days, but being out now with John next to her was something that was fairly interesting. When John had made his way to the door he was not expecting her to come with him and seemed to be in an even more anxious state then when the left the house together. The way he kept looking around as if expecting something was in everyway deterring to the mood.
But to John the need to come out was for different reasons though he had been with Alicia for a few months he had made it a habit of going out at night it just felt right to patrol around the neighbor hold. Though what he could remember of his past, but then again he felt protective of this place and the human next to him. Now he was very much in the protective mood to protect her sensing that there was something nearby them and that very thing had been hanging around the house.
"John, are you okay, you seem a bit distracted"
"Oh, yes I'm fine just a beautiful night."
"Yep, it is beautiful, it's just missing."
"What is missing," John asked.
"Stars, it's missing stars. Sure it does have a few stars, but well it just not enough. It's not like paint scattered though out on some black canvas."
"So you like the stars?"
"Yep for a long time, I even want to move one day to a place where there is less light pollution, or at least go camping to a place where I can just lay down and watch the sky above me before I fall asleep." She smiled looking up at the sky, John watch her face light up as she stared at the stars. He smiled at her, but he just couldn't relax not with the feeling that they where being followed.
"So how was your day today?"
"Oh pretty good, good that I didn't have to go to work. School was a different thing, you see I go to a running start program I go to high school in the morning and then in the other half of the day I go to the community college. What about you do you remember yourself if you go to high school or do you go to college?"
"No I don't remember that."
"I know you can come with me to school maybe that might make some memories come out of that stubborn head of yours," she said laughing.
"It is worth a try."
"Okay then, so I guess we will have to make some plans for that. Oh this is going to be so much fun. But for now let's go home and eat dinner I don't know about you, but I'm starving."
She watched from a distance as the demon and his human companion walked though the neighborhood seeing that often times he would go out with this little thing, brought out the idea that brought a smirk to her face. By the way he treated this human she must be his mate or an intended mate, if she could create some chaos with that then maybe just maybe she can hurt this demon and get him out of her territory. She was going to have the most fun she has had in over a hundred years.
The time was still not here and now there where some added problems coming to their attention. Trying to get the souls that he needed to fuel his army was now going to a point that he did not expect. Now with the problem of these spirit detectives of Koenma coming to investigate what was going on around the area it was becoming a more careful operation. The arrival of these detectives was thanks to the young inexperience grim reaper that had reported on the strange occurrences that where happening. Bathnin wondered if he could somehow distract them to get away from where he and Dumah where at then maybe they could collect the souls that they needed and meet with Balban. He only hoped that Balban was getting all the information that they would need against this new possible enemy.
"So, Emiko, how do you know Botan?"
"Oh, Botan was one of my tutors while I went to school, she was so kind and helpful isn't she wonderful and she is always so positive even when things are so bad. I could go on and on. What do you think about her, how did you meet her, Mr. Uramashi."
"Yusuke, come here."
"Ya, I'm coming hold on!"
The ally that Hiei was facing was something that did not bring anything to mind to Yusuke when he approached. To his eyes there was nothing here that would give them any clue so what could Hiei had called him here to check out?
"Okay so what do you want, Hiei?"
"Doesn't it seem strange that all the souls of these people in this area that have passed are all in her area?"
"Ya it does seem strange, but what else other then the location is something that this is happening."
"This is something that can prove that something is very off and that this theory of angels maybe a part of what is happening."
"What the hell do you mean?"
"This," in Hiei's hand was a long black feather; the length of the feather could not be from any bird that had ever been seen in Japan or anywhere else. The two looked at the feather wondering how far this case actually was.
The stress of just seeing all the unfinished paper work was enough to make him suck harder on his pacifier. The paper work right now represented so many problems that where going on and the punishment of doing this incorrectly, or other words not solving the issues going on was something that he dreaded. Even being five hundred years old spankings where always a terror to him and to get this solved would be a huge relief to him. The fear that crept up to him was a deep shiver every time he heard his father's footsteps out side his door has he walked past, expecting that he knew something that Koenma was trying to hide from him.
"What am I going to do, what am I going to do if he finds out?"
"What are you going to do if I find out what?"
The sound of his father's voice was all that he needed to be frozen in silence.
"Well?"
"I'm sorry, Kurama, is missing we're looking every where for him!"
Koenma was shaking in fear covering his eyes trying to keep his eyes from seeing the anger that his father would most definitely have, but the laughter that he heard was something that he did not expect.
"Father," was the only thing he could say has he watch Enma leave his office laughing his head off.
"I must really be in trouble."
Balban smiled at what he had found out from Koenma trying to hide his laughter even more as he made his way out of the offices of the spirit world. His disguised still in place which seemed to bring out fear to the ogres that seemed to be working more then they normally would what stroke of luck did he have today. What he would tell Bathnin about what he found was not going to be has funny as the fear that Koenma showed when he had come into his office.
The time that they had together had to be finished up with and he had to get going before whatever was around would go after Alicia. Whatever was out there he had to find before something would happen to her. As the time together had past a fondness seemed to develop for her. He closed the door behind him making sure that he did not make a sound as he left. Thinking that he would never see her again.
The garden had improved far more then he had ever expected it to ever do before. Knowing that the garden was something that was important to her he had in his time living with her improved the garden. With the knowledge that she did not look at the garden like she would have normally, but now since his work was finish with the garden was an escape from the rest of the world, into a fairytale. He looked back to the house sadden that he was leaving behind a new friend. He look to the new rose bush that had grown wonderfully since he had worked so hard on the garden and he thought of something that he had to do before he left.
She awoke to the sweet smell of flowers near her and it brought her comfort as she woke up. She looked to the pillow next to her to find that a single stem of a rose, the bud not fully blooming. Wondering why it was here she got up taking the rose with her. It was a beautiful rose one that she was becoming curious on where it had come from.
"John, are you awake," she asked walking into the guest room to find that it was empty the bed undressed. Its sheets folded at the end of the bed, with that the feeling that John had left filled her with dread and loneliness. She didn't know that he was going to leave or if John had any feelings of needing to move on. She silently cried, upset at not that he had left, but he had left without saying goodbye.
She walked out of the room her feet guiding her unconsciously to the garden, she did not notice the change until she brought her face up, from looking at the ground shocked at what she saw.
The garden that she once knew as dead planet and over growing grass had become something that she had always imagined her dream garden would have looked like. It was an amazing change that she saw before her.
She had watched as the demon had left the house in the early morning a smirk appearing on her face as he walked into the house and then soon left the house. She could only laugh knowing what he was trying to do. Knowing that he cared so much for this little human to leave without saying anything was something that she was going to bring to her advantage. This little trespasser would pay for entering her domain.
What they had found out about what was happening was something that they had to think about some more to find out why that was happening and to who or what the feather belonged to. "So what do you think?"
"Emiko, Botan, if there is any one that is going to pass soon or has pass we have to be there when it happens. If we can catch whoever is doing this we might be able to stop them in the act and save their next victim from them."
"Yusuke?"
"Just do it, Botan, we don't have much time. Hiei, you ready for this."
Hiei could only scuff at the spirit detective.
He knew that with the prospect of finding this thing that was around that had been following and watching him and Alicia was near. Whatever it was he felt that he was ready to fight it. As he made his way over the bridge of the park and saw two figures in the fog together their backs facing him. He knew that something was not right when he smelt the air filled with the hint of blood.
"I knew you would come here. I just didn't know that you would take your time to get here."
"Who are you?"
"Well I'm just the owner to all you see here, but then you wouldn't know that you where trespassing on what was mine. Or living with something that is mine. She is a pretty thing don't you think. Though I don't understand what you would see in her."
The being before him turned facing him allowing him a better view of the other figure with her. She licked off some of the blood off the neck of her unconscious hostage.
"Though she is a testy little thing."
"Alicia!"
