Looking back at the switch Grace sighed and pulled it. "If i let them all die now then i'll definitely die here and while i normally wouldn't care i have someone in this world who literally needs me. Plus i have a sneaking suspicion they'll find a way out of it then i'll get in trouble for not helping" Looking up as the boulder fell grace sighed and waited patiently for either yusuke or hiei to save her, hiei because he's fast and he wouldn't want to owe a human for saving him. Yusuke because he's also fast and he's too nice to let her get squashed.
Imagine her surprised when she found herself in a certain redheads arms as yusuke and kuwabara yelled in surprised. "Just in time." Youko mumbled as shuichi stared down at her intently before placing her on her feet. He looked her up and down for a moment before nodding to himself. "She isn't injured." he sounded relieved and Youko snorted before chuckling. "So you are concerned for her?" Shuichi shook his head in denial. "Of course not but should she had died you would have made the rest of my days hell."
"Right." He rolled his eyes as yusuke rushed over and hiei sliced the bat thing in half. "Had us worried for a minute their bullet." grace shot him a sarcastic smile. "His offer was tempted but i'd rather be on the winning team." Yusuke laughed and grace snorted shrugging of the hand shuichi had placed on her shoulder.
Grace glanced at the redhead from the corner of her eye and shivered when she noticed the dark way he was staring at her. "I wonder what his problem is?" She had a small theory when it came to hearing youko and shuichi's thoughts. She believed that she could only hear the surface thoughts or when he addressed youko. She wouldn't be surprised if he had a layer of thoughts that was placed behind a barrier in his mind because of hiei's content presence in his life.
"He's starting to like me now that I'm not being so creepy is he?" She realized immediately and narrowed her eyes slightly. Him liking her just wouldn't do she was trying to troll the main cast and sexually frustrated youko not love interest's. Now having a new resolve grace's face went completely blank as she followed them towards their next destination.
She stayed silent while they talked strategy. Shuichi talking with yusuke and explain what little he knew about the saint beast. Humming she once again pulled out her notebook. Shuichi watched in mild curiosity from over her shoulder as she put down kurama with a question mark beside it. Stuffing said notebook back inside her pocket she glanced at the kitsune face completely blank and a lazy gleam in her eye. "Her mannerisms just completely changed." The awe in youko's voice didn't go unnoticed by hiei who narrowed his eyes at grace.
She just remained blank letting her body go on autopilot while her mind raced with possibilities. " If I wouldn't have pulled that lever then I have no doubt In my mind hiei would have then I would have been ranked under suspicion. I'm only human there for spirit world can do nothing to me without facing backlash. I'm untouchable, but that doesn't mean that I won't suffer backlash in the process…" her thoughts were interrupted by a ring.
She snapped her head up and stared intently at the compact. Grace hummed when botan panicked voice filled the line. "A human fell through the..." yusuke cut her off with a wave of his hand. "Yeah we know she's right here." botan looked surprised as she began blabbering about keeping the human safe and how grace's memory with have to be erased as soon as they come back. Youko pouted at this and Grace rose an eyebrow but didn't comment.
She doubted spirit world could erase her memory. She internally smirked however this was perfect troll material. Yusuke ended the call and looked back at her. "I'll try to keep them from erasing your memory." Grace snorted and folded her arms over her chest. Not missing the way kurama's eyes were drawn to said area. "Don't worry 'bout it. I'd rather be ignorant anyway." she shrugged they all sent her wide eyed looks but didn't comment as they continued to walk.
A creepy voice spoke and grace narrowed her eyes as they entered a room. "Stay by one of us grace." Yusuke mumbled before throwing a torch into the room lighting up the monster in the middle. "What was his name again?" Grace grumbled. "Great we're stuck with two idiots, a midget, and redhead that are going up against a rock monster." under her breath much to kurama and youko's amusement.
"Shall we demonstrate our strength for our future mate." Kurama twitched and narrowed his eyes slightly. "I'm not even going to acknowledge your obsession with a response." youko smirked. "You just did though." Kurama scolded but stepped forward to face genbu nonetheless. Youko and Hiei both smirked at him but he didn't acknowledge either of them.
"Is he going to be ok?" Yusuke asked and Hiei snorted. "The reason I teamed up with kurama was so I wouldn't have to fight him myself." Grace watched the fight in interest wondering if anything would change because of her being there. It much to her disappointment aside from a few lines changing went almost the exact same. She had a small fangirl moment when kurama used his rose whip she didn't even bother to hide. "If only you would let me make her squeal for a different reason." Kurama did his best to ignore them.
Hiei while kurama fought watched the girl from the corner of his eye. He watched her eyes drift upward and rest on a section of the cellist then watched as kurama sliced through genbu who appeared from that section. Narrowing his eyes he tried once again to enter into the girl's mind only to be booted out once more. "There's more to that girl then even we thought." he glared at her and she just faced him with a blank stare.
"He's noticed something's off about me already? I wonder how long it will take him to piece everything together." A twinkle of amusement slowly entered her eye and Hiei didn't miss it at all.
Kurama was of course congratulated only to stop and glance over at genbu once again. "It appears my fight is not yet over." Grace sighed and watched kurama kick ass until he began getting pelted with rocks. She watched him reach out and grab something realizing that the fight would be over soon she huffed. "His fight never did last that long did it?" It just in her personal opinion spoke to how powerful kurama was. "How did you notice." genbu began and she chuckled with the rest of them when she saw his head in place where his balls should be.
"Do rock monsters even have penis's?" She wondered aloud and yusuke and kuwabara laughter doubled into hysteria. Kurama's eyes flashed gold for a moment and he spoke darkly. "I'm an s class thief it's in my nature to find precious things." the golden eyes that trained on her made her suppress a shiver and the deepness of his voice surprised her slightly. "I didn't think youko would be able to speak through shuichi at this stage." She felt herself pail. "Is my influence making youko rise to the surface quicker? God i hope not i'm already going to have a time avoiding him when the dark tournament rolls around."
Sighing she rubbed her arms lightly. Hoping that her influence didn't have any effects on shuichi and youko. If they were slacking because of her she wouldn't give a flying fuck but if they were progressing sooner she was so having her freedom taken away by the possessive fox. "Maybe i would just start avoiding him? I mean i'm untouchable for spirit world but that doesn't stop yoko from kidnnapping me. He kinda does what he wants and doesn't care about the rules."She relaxed slightly when his eyes went back to green and they walked towards the next saint beast.
"Shuichi doesn't like me and he'll keep youko back right?" So wrapped up in her thoughts she didn't notice that shuichi didn't hit the ground on one knee in pain like he did in the anime and manga he stood high and pretended like it didn't bother him because the female youko recognized and he subconsciously recognized as a worthy mate stood before him.
"How's your injury doing Kurama?" Yusuke finally asked when they come to a stop in a hallway. Shuichi blew out a breath and youko growled at him for mentioning that he might be in pain. "I'll be fine." Grace snapped her head up at that. His line changed so did yusuke's. He was supposed to say he was fine but he wouldn't be able to fight again. "Why didn't he say his line? Did he ever hit his knee?" Grace questioning paling when she found that he had not. "Is it because youko in becoming more visible in him?"
The horror of the possibilities that her overthinking mind come up with apparently caught Kuwabara's attention who walked over and lightly placed his hand on her shoulder. "Hey lady are you ok?" This grabbed everyone's attention and she carefully placed her face into a schooled blank expression.
She stared at Kuwabara until he shifted away from her with an awkward chuckle. "Sorry i asked." he scratched his head awkwardly before everyone's attention was taken away from her when the compactor began ringing. The talk went the exact same with botan as it did in the story and it was interrupted by an ear piercing roar.
Grace covered her ears and whimpered slightly. The roar had her ear ringing especially with her advance hearing. She stiffened when she felt gentle fingers place something behind her ear. "This flower will help." Shuichi mumbled to her gently and grace felt the twisted insanity that normally consume her mind calm. Almost going into a panic attack she shifted away from his touch and nodded in acceptance mumbling a slight thank you under her breath.
"She always moved out of our touch range. Why won't she let us touch her?" Youko whined as shuichi quickly grabbed her wrist and ran towards the exit when the roof began crumbling down on them. "I don't know youko, i've never noticed before." he glanced back at grace who was staring intently at the fingers that wrapped around her wrist. "It because when you touch me i feel my insanity leave me."
Constructive criticism is always welcome, Till next time.
