A Black Heart Chapter 18
Your POV
I was just outside of Genkai's Temple I could feel the demon wards around here knowing I was going to warn her of me being here but she would know me when she saw me. I walked on up the stairs feeling the ward around me give way to my stronger demon power. I was half way there when I felt a blast of energy fly passed my head. I looked up to see an old lady with short pink hair.
You: My Genkai is that how you great your guest even if I hadn't seen you in about 4 years. She walks up she can see me and then she smiles.
Genkai: Runa it has been a long time but you can't be here on pleasure so why are you here? My smile disappeared and I walked up to her.
You: We have with your old partner named Toguro he has threaten Yusuke and the others that if they don't fight in the Dark Tournament that they will go kill anyone close to them and then hunt them down. I looked at her face as it went to shock.
Genkai: Toguro is only doing this for his own pleasure but I don't see how I end up in this. I looked at her and smirked.
You: But you do you are the one that started Yusuke's training which means he is coming here to train with you again. She nods in agreement.
Genkai: So I will train him as best I can but that isn't all of it is it? I shake my head and could feel Yusuke coming.
You: They need a fifth fighter and because I am already signed as a backup and a bodyguard for the prince I can't but you can Genkai. She looks at me and shakes her head.
Genkai: I can train him but I will not go fight in this one I have already done it once so why would I do it again. I looked at her and knew it would still be a while before Yusuke would be here.
You: Because you wish to protect him from the dangers that he would run in to as well as training him thought out the tournament. She looked at me and then sighed.
Genkai: Fine I will do it but just so you know you will have to replace me. I looked at her and knew why.
You: Just make sure you have to wait until later in the tournament to do it ok Genkai and make sure you tell me so I know ahead of time. She nods and a portal appears behind me. Good luck Genkai I will be watching also it maybe best that the others but Yusuke and me know. She nods and I nod back. Well I have to go help the prince and train as well talk to you later Genkai. She nods and starts to leave back up the stairs to go wait for Yusuke. I walk thought the portal and end up in the prince's office to meet up with me sister.
Nava: So are we good on your end? I nod and I look to see that she is filling out paperwork and pointed to the pile to her right. That is yours there will be more due to you being a backup fighter. I nod and get to work filling it out after about 5 hours the paperwork was done and Nava and I choose to go see the others at the house or to see if they needed help on training. As we walked that way I asked about her end.
You: So did you get your stuff done on your end? She nods and looks at me and smiles.
Nava: Yep we have six wolves, four birds to in song birds and two in birds of prey one being an owl; we also have a few rats and mice that will be helping. I nod liking that we would have some animals to help us. Both Blizzard and Dragon are taking well to the harness and pulling the carriage and get along great. I nod that was good sometimes stallions had a hard time liking one another.
You: That is good now we only have to do the training part and we should be good. She nods as we get to the house to see that it is empty. I guess they are still out training. She nods and then we both close our eyes so that I sense of hearing was stronger. We both open our eyes and start walking. To we came a thick bamboo forest. How about a little trick Nava to make sure they are still on their toes. She nods and in a flash we jump to the top of the bamboo jumping quickly so that it didn't move and then we finally found them. I look at her and she spots Kurama and points to him and I point to Hiei.
Nava: "If we take them the baka will think he is under attack and freak." I nod and smirk he was the easiest to scare. With that we jump down and land on our targets there was a scream and a baka running around in circles. I looked down to see Hiei with his katana to my neck.
You: My, the greetings I am getting today I am going to get killed by my own friends more then by my enemies. He sees you I am and drops his katana.
Hiei: Runa you scared me don't do that. I get off of him and look to see that Kurama was pinned to the ground and Nava was wrapped with his whip.
You: That was the point what good is the training if you are not ready for anything right Nava? She looks at me and nods. Which me and Nava know how these tournaments work we were in one when we were young and they will throw anything at you. She nods and shakes as the whip falls but more from the remembering all of our friends that died in the fighting.
Kurama: Which one was it? I looked at her and she nodded.
You: Elemental Demon Tournament the toughest in the demon world held every four hundred years one on one team against team. They both looked shocked.
Kurama: Which team won it when you were in it? I smiled as I and my sister pulled from our pockets a piece of stone that had our names and a stone showing the element that we controlled at the tournament and the stone that granted us passage to any tournament we choose that was made in the demon world along with other things.
Hiei: You guys won it. I nod and my sister looked like she was going to cry.
You: Sorry I won't bring it up we should bring it up that whole thing was only met to take the stones of the elements we know that now. They looked at us confused.
Nava: It is ok how about we go get something to eat and you can tell them the story about it the thing that destroyed our lives even before Storm attacked our village. I nod and we start walking but looked to see that baka still running in circles. Hiei walked up to him and hit him in the back and he fell forward and finally stopped his yelling.
Hiei: It was Nava and Runa baka come on we are taking a break to have a bite to eat unless you enjoy running in circles. He gets up looking like he was going to punch Hiei but he saw me and stopped. My eyes told him don't even think about it as he choose not to push me and just choose that food was better this time around and ran on ahead to get cleaned up.
Hiei POV
I watch as Runa comforts Nava as she cries about the tournament in the past. We make it to the house and Kurama and Nava get started on lunch and Runa and me sat down. She looks at Nava and she nods and Runa nods back.
Runa: Well let's just make this one very bad flashback. We nod as she gets started. Well it starts that we are training me and my sister and a few others when our father came up to us picking me and my sister along with three others.
*Runa's Flashback*
Runa's Father: Ok guys you are being picked to fight in a very important tournament and there is a good chance that you may not make it back alive do you except? We all looked at each other and then one by one we nodded. Good now you will train hard and we will be leaving in a few weeks. We nod and went back to training but if we only knew that only two of us would be coming back alive we wouldn't have gone. The day came and we fought well making it to the finals. We were tired and were given a few days rest in which we talked about the fighting that was when we heard talking bad talking. My dad was using us because there were no able wolves in the tribe we understood that we were the best but then when it came to we found out he lost the stones of the elements and we were fighting to get them back. I looked at Nava and the rest of them and we choose that we would not fight for a mistake that our father and the leader of the pack made. So the day came and we saw our opponents to see that they were the Dragons. I look at my opponent to see he was a young water dragon me being fire he had an advantage in the fight. We fought but soon something happened and the leader of the Dragons came and tried to steal the stones. We quickly fought him off and injured him but in the middle of it all everyone but me, Nava, the committee, and our father died they gave us the stone and my dad gave me and Nava our share as he hid the rest in a location only know by him.
*End of Flashback*
I looked at her and Nava it was really one big mistake that the young Runa and Nava and there team didn't want any part of and I could tell.
Kurama: So just like us you were being forced into a fight you had no way out. They nod as Nava had to sit down to stop her shaking knees. I wondered why Runa was taking this all so well.
You: Runa why does this hurt Nava so much? I looked down to her and she nodded that I could tell them.
Runa: One of our teammates was her boyfriend and they loved each other very much they were hoping to get married one day then after the fighting we noticed that he was dead and want made it worst was that in his hand was a ring case with a ring in it for Nava he planned on popping the question just after the fighting. She finally breaks down and runs upstairs. Kurama quickly follows as Runa slams the table.
You: Runa your past is just one big bad mess isn't it? She nods and finally she cries just as Kuwabara comes in to see that the food is setting out and starts to eat I take Runa to the living room.
Runa: I couldn't do anything to save them nothing I was too weak and I even blacked out but for some reason my sister didn't talk to me for months then one month before she left to the stone temple she told me I was the one that killed him. She cried into my shirt I could only look at her. I finally had to say something.
You: Runa I am sure it wasn't your fault I mean you were young and the area was probably crazy with everyone either fighting or running. She nods into your shirt. Now come on wipe those tears and look at me. She looks up and her red eyes looked redder than usual.
Runa: Your right Hiei how could she know I mean she says that she only remember us becoming our angel forms saying there was something wrong with them and then nothing. I nod as she starts to calm down.
You: I think it is safe to bet we keep this quiet how does that sound? We both nod and look up to see that Kurama had Nava calmed down as well. I think we should eat and then train and get this whole thing out of our systems and the rest for the rest of the day. We all nod and head back into the kitchen to see that Kuwabara had eaten it all.
Runa: Kuwabara why did you eat all of the food? He fell from his chair shaking on the floor.
Nava: Forget it Runa I will make more and he won't get the secret that I made for the rest of us. He wines about this but I hit him on the head knocking him out.
Runa: He will wake up when it is time to train. We sit around the table as Nava and Kurama fix up another lunch for us all while the baka lays knocked out on the floor.
