Chapter Two
Rui sighed as she walked towards the park, hoping that she could find the four boys before they left her behind. Then she spotted the man standing there. He had wavy brown hair and silver eyes, and a body that any woman would want. She smiled at him as he turned to her.
"Hm, you seem like you're looking for someone⦠I'll have to ask who before I can let you pass by here," he said. She smirked.
"You know who I'm looking for Seiko-san, and I know you'll let me pass. I had to go and stop the spirit detective, after all," she said. Seiko smiled to her as she rested her head on his chest. "I even had to kiss one of them in my attempts to not appear suspicious," she explained. He chuckled at her and kissed the top of her head gently. She smiled to him.
"But tell me one thing, Rui-chan, am I still the one you love?" he asked. She laughed lightly at him, hugging him tightly.
"Of course you are. Why wouldn't you be?" she asked, then stood up straight. "How is it coming along?" she asked, looking sternly at him.
"Sadly, Arashi-san fell ill and can no longer help us. But I will find someone else to help us with it, I swear to you, my beloved," he said. She nodded to him, then turned around. Kurama, Hiei, Yusuke and Kuwabara stood behind her.
Damn it, did they overhear what I said, she wondered. She guessed not because of the worried look Kurama had and the not-so-angry look Hiei had.
"Rui-chan, what are you doing here?" Kurama asked. She began crying and hugged him.
"Oh, Kurama-san, I was so scared! This person here came to my house last night and kidnapped me! He said he was going to kill me if I didn't help him create a portal to the demon world!" she lied through tears. He hugged her, glaring to Seiko. Seiko glared back at him, then grabbed Rui away.
"And I meant it too!" he growled out, following along with Rui in her act to trick Kurama into loving her. Rui, who was shaking, continued crying as Seiko held a dagger to her stomach. Kurama growled, but he stepped back as Seiko pressed the dagger closer and Rui twitched in pain. She nudged him lightly to let him know it hurt and he loosened it a little bit. Kurama again made an attempt to grab her as Hiei dodged at Seiko, who moved aside from him, but while dodging, lost his grip on Rui and she fell to the ground, hard. Kurama kneeled by her.
"Are you alright, Rui-chan?" he asked. She nodded to him, standing carefully as she gave him a strained smile. The truth was, the fall had hurt her ribcage, but she knew better than to complain and worry not only Kurama, but Seiko as well. He faced Seiko once more, glaring to him.
Seiko, get out of here before they hurt you, she thought to herself. As if he heard her thoughts, Seiko disappeared just as Rui doubled over in pain. Kurama looked to her in shock, then his expression became worried.
"Did he hurt you, Rui-chan?" he asked. She shook her head, clutching at the injured spot in her side.
"It's from when I fell," she explained. Kurama nodded and picked her up on his back.
"Now that we know who's opening the portal, we have a little extra time. I'm going to take Rui to the hospital to make sure she didn't break anything," he said. Yusuke nodded to him. She sighed as she leaned against him softly, closing her eyes.
Rui awoke to a sharp pain in her side. She looked around, seeing who she thought was a nurse, and also a maybe doctor. She blinked a few times at the white light. She listened to what the doctor was saying to Kurama.
"Luckily, the fall didn't break any of her bones. But she'll probably have a lot of pain in her side for a few days, and she may have a bit of a limp as well," he said. She saw Kurama nod and sat up, feeling the pain the doctor had mentioned.
Well, duh, my bones aren't broken... I'm an extremely powerful demon from the Makai... she thought to herself. She stood.
"Shuichi-san! Can you come here for a minute?" she called gently. He looked in.
"Rui-chan, you're awake!" he said, smiling. She nodded to him, standing up. He walked over and made her sit back down. "You're hurt, and we have to wait for the doctor to say we can leave," he said. She nodded to him, examining her leg. She saw a large bruise on it down by her ankle, twitching when she touched it. He turned and walked back out with the doctor, and she disappeared.
"SEIKO-SAN!" Rui yelled. He immediately appeared before her, looking scared and worried at the same time.
"Yes, Rui-chan?" he asked shakily. She growled, then sighed, shaking her head at him, then walking over and hugging him.
"I'm sorry Seiko-san, I'm just frustrated... This Kurama guy is going to give me a lot of trouble... He already fell for me because of my charm spell... But what can I do when it wears off?" she asked. He smiled, hugging her back.
"Be mine full time again," he whispered to her. She smiled lightly, then kissed his cheek.
"Of course, but I do have to get him to really love me eventually," she said. "I think it's already starting to fade."
Seiko sighed and held her tighter. She rested her head against his chest, closing her eyes.
"I love you, Seiko-kun..." she whispered. He nodded, rubbing her back gently. She then sniffed, recognizing the scent.
Uh-oh... It's him, she thought to herself as she turned around. She nudged Seiko, who picked up on it and withdrew his dagger, holding her hostage again.
"KURAMA-SAN!" she called as he came into view. "HELP!"
Kurama growled and walked up to Seiko, just as Rui nudged him because he was putting pressure on her ribcage. He loosened his grip a little bit and allowed Kurama to pull her away. She smiled at him, winking at Seiko quickly.
"Kurama-san, I'm so glad you came to rescue me!" she said, leaning against him gently. He nodded to her, also smiling. She then said something odd and out-of-the-blue to him.
"I love you, Kurama."
He stopped dead, staring at her.
"Rui-chan?" he asked, blushing some. She looked away, blushing lightly at him as she closed her eyes, trying to look shy and embarrassed.
