The story of Rika part 2
Disclaimer: I don't own YYH
After a month Rika was ready to go and fight some demons or something. She spent all her time beating up Yusuke and cleaning. Koenma hadn't sent her on mission with the rest of the guys yet, she was like a sitting duck. At the moment everyone was getting ready to leave for the Dark World Tournament and Rika wasn't going. She was to sit at home by herself with nothing to do but clean and spar with the bear in Genkai's woods. Genkai was leaving too though she wasn't allowed to tell anyone.
Rika waved good bye and wished the boys good luck and watched them walk to there desired destination. She watched as Genkai went back into the house and then showed back up a few seconds later with a wrap around her face and a new outfit on. "Bye," Rika said as Genkai sped off into the distance. Rika sighed and went back inside. What was she to do for the next month or so?
She plopped down on the couch in the living room and started at the coffee table. On the table laid Kurama's seeds. "He's gonna need those," she said sitting up and sweeping them from the table and into her hand. She got off the couch and started to run out the door. After she got down the main city she stopped to take a deep breath. 'Why am I running? If I get there at the right time I will just have to go to take them to him and maybe they will let me stay so I am not stuck in this friggin' shire by myself forever.' She thought staring to walk again but more slowly.
When she reached the point just as she had wanted the boat had already left. She reached into her pocket and got her walkie talkie cover-up. She dialed Botan and suddenly her face came up. "I need a ride to the tournament I have Kurama's seeds," she told Botan who nodded and then hung up. A few moments later Botan came flying in on her broomstick and Rika hopped on. "Is there a reason you're not talking?" Rika asked Botan as they flew to the island.
"No I'm just worried for the boy's," she said and just like that they landed on the Tournament Island. "Go find them I'll see you later," Botan sped off immediately after Rika jumped off.
Rika looked around in the mass of people and could barely see. There was people and demons of all shapes and sizes and Rika being a 5 ft young girl got bumped into and squished as she walked to the nearest hotel. When she reached the hotel it was as crowed if not more crowed outside. She found her way to the service desk and asked where Team Urameshi's room was. The man told her and she made her way to the elevator. It took her about an hour to finally get on the elevator and another hour to find the right floor. She wanted to take the stairs but those were just as crowded and decided either way it was going to take her 2 hours.
Rika knocked on the door and the mystery fighter (Genkai) answered. "What are you doing here," she sneered ushering Rika in the room.
"Kurama forgot his seeds and by the time I got to the meeting spot the boat was way gone," Rika announced as Kurama walked into the room. "I got your seeds."
Kurama looked over to her, "That's where I left them, thank you so much," he thanked smiling and taking them from Rika.
"You have to leave," Genkai told her grabbing her arm and twisting her back to attention.
"Why? Why can't I stay?" Rika whined almost pleadingly. Kurama put his seeds in his hair seeming as if he wasn't paying attention but, he was.
"Because you are going to mess everything up like you always do," Genkai whispered not wanting Rika to blow her cover.
"GENKAI!!!" Rika whined loudly before getting smacked across the face. Kurama's head snapped in their direction.
"You Idiot," Genkai kept on smacking Rika.
"I won't tell," Kurama smiled, "I knew it was you anyways, but don't worry the other guys don't."
"Thank you Kurama," Genkai said before looking back at Rika who was holding her red face. "Now you must leave before you end up telling the other guys, I don't even want them to know you were here." Genkai shoved Rika out the door and then sighed, luckily the rest of the boys had gone to check the place and out and grab a bite to eat.
Rika folded her arms and pouted, her plan didn't work out very well. Now how was she supposed to get home? She tried contacting Botan and when she finally got a hold of her Botan refused to give her a ride home. Rika stood outside the door for about a few more moments when she heard the door starting to crick open. Quickly she ran and hid in the closest cubby, she watched as Genkai left and got on the elevator.
When the coast was clear Rika ran to the hotel room and knocked on the door. Kurama opened the door and didn't seem surprised at all.
"You have to hide me from Genkai until I can get a ride home," She pleaded rushing inside. Kurama was silent but he watched her as she franticly jumped and ran around the living room and kitchen looking for some place to hide.
"Why do you always cause chaos? Do you like it?" Kurama asked her walking over to his bedroom door and ushering her inside. "You can stay in here and I will bring you food but you have to promise to be quite. If anyone finds out I'm hiding you in here I'm history," Kurama whispered hearing everyone else return. The smell of food filled the room as the boys called for Kurama. "I'm coming," he shouted back to them. Rika smiled and sat down on the bed as Kurama smiled back and left shutting the door tightly behind him. Rika listened to the boys talk about the match they had in 2 days and about the mystery fighter. After a while she began to get very bored and sleepy so she tucked herself into bed.
At about 11 Kurama came in the room and Rika woke up, she didn't get up though, she just laid there. She heard Kurama take his shirt off and throw it some where in the room. She listened to him walk into his bathroom and brush his teeth and do whatever. When he came back into the main bedroom she sat up.
"Sorry, did I wake you up?" Kurama asked grabbing a blanket from a near by closet.
"No, what are you doing?" Rika asked back watching him set a bed up on the floor.
"I'm setting my bed up for the night? Obviously ladies get the best," he whispered hearing Genkai enter the hotel room.
"Get up here; you don't have to sleep on the floor. This bed is big enough for the both of us," Rika grabbed Kurama's arm and pulled him into bed. Kurama put is finger up to his mouth to tell her to be quite and didn't resist. Kurama got under the covers and looked at Rika. He wasn't sure what to do; he was just laying in bed with a girl. "Goodnight Kurama, thanks for doing this for me," Rika whispered before turning with her back towards him and going back to sleep. Kurama sighed and flipped over as well and quickly fell to sleep.
Yusuke knocked on Kurama's door at about 9 in the morning. "Kurama we are going to breakfast would you like to come?" He asked through the door.
Kurama rubbed his eyes and looked at the ceiling, "Actually I really tired could you just bring me up something like 4 muffins or whatever they have down there."
"Yeah sure, are you feeling okay? You sound a little sick," Yusuke asked again through the door.
"I'm fine just really tired from staying up for 24 hours straight; thanks for asking though," Kurama rolled over and faced Rika whose eyes were wide open.
"We will probably be back in 2 to 3 hours," Yusuke announced before slamming the hotel door.
"Good morning," Said closing his eyes and stretching and yawning all at the same time. Rika didn't say anything back she just watched him. "What's wrong?" He asked but Rika just shook her head 'nothing'. Kurama sat up and rubbed his eyes more and then headed to the bathroom.
Rika turned to face the ceiling and slowly sat up. She had gotten to much sleep and was still tired. She thought about how boring her day was going to be with nothing to do but listen to everybody talking in the hotel room. Deep down she hoped they would all go out sparring or explore the island or something so she could get out of that room. She fell sideways on the bed as Kurama came back out of the bathroom. He smiled at her before leaving the room to check to see if even Genkai had gone too. He came back a few seconds later, "No ones here you can go get something out of the fridge to eat and drink. I'm going to take a shower and get changed."
Rika grabbed the comforter and wrapped it up around her; she hopped out of bed and headed straight to the refrigerator. She found some bagels and was just putting it in the toaster when the room door opened. Rika froze and thought if she didn't move they wouldn't see her whoever it was.
"Rika is that you?" Yusuke's voice asked shutting the door behind him. Rika turned around somewhat relieved that it wasn't Genkai. "What are you doing here?"
"Well I came to bring Kurama's seeds and then I couldn't get a ride back home and I didn't want to stay and distract you all so Kurama has been letting me hide out in his room," Rika explained in one breath. Her bagel popped up and she turned to butter it up as Yusuke set Kurama's food down on the Kitchen counter.
"Oh well I won't tell anyone, and will you tell Kurama that this is his?" Yusuke asked her a favor and she said she would. "Also if you wanna get out later do you mind coming out and training with me for a little?"
"Sure," Rika agreed even though she was enthusiastic about it. She knew all of Yusuke's moves and could beat him easily in a quick match; they had trained together at Genkai's over the past month.
"Thanks," Yusuke said giving her a quick kiss on the forehead and heading back out of the room. Over their time together they had grown very fond of each other and Yusuke had started this whole 'Thanks babe,' and a quick kiss on the forehead or cheek. Rika didn't mind, he was a handsome guy, though she wished he would just ask her out or kiss her on the lips or something romantic.
Kurama came out of his room looking frightened, "Who was that?"
"It was Yusuke he brought you food, and I'm going out to help him train a little later," she told him casually. "He promised he wouldn't tell so we don't have to worry, he is a man of his word."
"Pfft," is all Kurama said sitting at the bar and digging into his muffins.
"What do you not like him or something," Rika giggled walking over and sitting with him while eating her bagel.
"No it's just sometimes he lets to tell other people's secrets," Kurama said totally lying, he totally disliked Yusuke. Though it was only because Yusuke and Rika he was sure had a fling and he was some what jealous. He wished he and Rika were close but it just wasn't so and last night he thought maybe but, he guessed not. He was also pretty sure that Rika thought he was gay.
Rika was silent; she wasn't much of a morning talker. She finished her bagel and decided to go and take a shower herself. Kurama didn't talk to her anymore and just sat at the bar for a while. When he heard her turn the shower off he dazedly walked to the room and opened the door. "I'm going find Hiei and Genkai and train since you are going to be with Yusuke," he told her sticking his head in the door.
"Okay," Rika said standing with her back to him in just her underwear putting lotion on.
"Oh I'm sorry," he said embarrassed and looking away. Rika tipped her head back to look at him and she laughed.
"It's really okay, I don't mind, you don't have to be polite around me. I've got this wonderful body why hide it?" She laughed buttoning up her jeans and turning to face him, even though his eyes were still close. "Okay, if that's the way you want it I'm not going to pressure you." She smiled as he shut the door and left the hotel room. Rika slipped her shirt on, "He's so gay." She said to herself as Yusuke came back into the room.
"You ready?" He asked as she brushed her hair and then shook her head so her hair wouldn't be stuck to her head. "What's wrong with Kurama?"
"I don't know, he walked in on me in my underwear and got all embarrassed and then left without saying goodbye," she told him bending over and throwing her hair into a quick messy ponytail. Yusuke watched her as she flipped back up and got a little pink in the cheeks.
Yusuke not only had just a crush on Rika he was completely in love with everything about her. He would ask her out except for the fact he was still attached to Keiko and didn't have enough nerve to leave her. He loved Keiko to but Rika had a more fun aspect to her that Keiko majorly lacked. Yusuke followed Rika out of the room and down to the lowest level.
"Crap," Rika said when the got to the bottom of the stair case.
"What?" Yusuke looked at her.
"They are all still in the lobby eating aren't they?" She smacked her head almost forgetting she was trying to hide.
"Oh yeah, come on lets get out this window," Yusuke walked over to nearest window and opened it. Rika walked over and looked out; there was still a 6 ft drop to go before the ground. She pulled back and gave Yusuke the 'you-really-want-me-to' look. Yusuke looked out himself and nodded his head. Rika rolled her eyes before dragging her self to the outer ledge and falling, not jumping, to the ground. Yusuke followed afterwards and landed on his feet next to her. "Easy as pie," he chimed helping her up off the ground.
"I hate you," Rika grumbled dropping her weight so Yusuke couldn't pull her up on her feet. Yusuke laughed and pretended to lose balance and fall on top of her. "You idiot we are on a hilllll," Rika trailed as they started to roll down the very large hill and over the beach and right into the ocean water. Rika sat up all soaking wet, "YUSUKE!" She screamed jumping on top of Yusuke next to her.
Yusuke hurriedly threw her off but she came back at him. By the time she had reached him again he was on his feet ready for her. When Rika tried to tackle him again he grabbed her hands and they both went into Indian fight style position trying to knock each other off balance. Yusuke lightly squeezed her fingers and she screamed "OUCH" and tried to squeeze his back but she failed. Yusuke squeezed even harder and Rika pulled her hands away and booked it as fast as she could back to shore. Yusuke was right on her butt chasing her back up the hill they had come down.
"You idiot get away from me; you could of broken my fingers. JERK!" She turned and yelled at him all furious, she wasn't messing around he had really hurt her fingers.
"You better keep running unless you want me to break some ribs," he yelled back plowing into her as she screamed her head off and landed on the ground with a hard THUMP. Yusuke had landed on top of her and instantly rolled off of her. Rika grabbed her sides and rolled over to face him.
"I hate you," she said again as Yusuke laughed and leaned and kissed her on the lips. Rika all of a sudden forgot what had just happened and focused on what was now happening. She somewhat freaked out in the beginning but afterwards she melted into it. They stayed like that for a few more minutes before he broke off and rolled and laid back on his back. They were both panting from there oxygen debt after running and fighting. Rika closed her eyes and dropped her hands from her sides to the grass.
Hiei and Kurama sat in the tree watching the whole thing. Hiei turned to Kurama who had no emotion on his face; he wasn't hurt he knew nothing between him and Rika could have ever gone anywhere. "Let's go," he said as him and Hiei dropped down out of the tree and began to walk back to the hotel trying not to be seen. Luckily Genkai had decided not to spar with them so she was off somewhere no where even near them.
Rika turned over to face Yusuke and he looked at her still laying on his back, they both had smiles on their faces. They leaned in again and kissed again and Rika moved closer to him and rested her head on his chest.
"Don't tell Keiko, please," Yusuke said casually no longer panting.
Rika looked up at him, "Do I ever talk to your girlfriend?"
"Good point," Yusuke smiled and kissed Rika again. When it started to get dark they walked back to the Hotel. They were no longer wet but the dry salt water was cracking Rika's skin. Yusuke went inside while Rika waited outside. When Yusuke got to the room he went to Kurama's bedroom to talk to him.
"Do you want to help me get Rika back inside here," he asked walking over and opening Kurama's bedroom window. Kurama looked up from reading his book on his bed and then got up to help.
"Sure," he said looking out and down the window to see Rika about 10 ft down. He had no reason to be mad at her, she didn't betray him. He assumed Yusuke wanted Rika to sleep in his room again seeing as how Keiko and the girls had arrived earlier and Keiko was sleeping in Yusuke's room. Kurama took out his whip and dropped it out the window, Rika tied it around her waist and both boys began to pull her up.
All of a sudden Kuwabara began to laugh from the Living room and they almost dropped her.
"Kuwabara could you be any louder?" Yusuke screamed out to them, he assumed they were playing cards and Kuwabara was so far winning though it wouldn't last long. With one last tug Rika latched on to the window frame and pulled herself in. When she got in she almost lost balance and grabbed Kurama to stable her. "Kurama are you going to come out and play cards?" Yusuke asked trying not to act like the cheater he was.
"Nah, I was getting into my book and I need to get some sleep for tomorrow," Kurama said trying to help Rika untie the whip from around her. Yusuke smiled and walked out of the room. "Are you okay?" He asked Rika still struggling with the tight knot that he could tell was digging into Rika's stomach.
"Yeah I'll be fine," Rika said trying to suck in at the same time. It just wasn't her ribs day, she was pretty sure they were broken. Kurama finally got the knot undone and put his whip away. He walked over to his bed and began to read again, Rika was studying her marks which would be bruises in the morning.
"How was your day?" He asked not looking up from his book seeing as how she pretty much had her shirt off.
"Fine, Yusuke plowed me down and almost broke my fingers and I rolled from the Hotel to the Ocean nonstop," she said letting her shirt fall back over her abdomen. She ran and jumped on the bed with Kurama.
"Well you smell like fish," he laughed looking up at her; she was staring intensely at him. "What?"
"Nothing, I just never saw that cute little stubble you got growing before," she giggled rolling off the bed. "I'm gonna take a shower then make sure you don't answer the door so they think you are in the shower."
"I'm not stupid Rika," he chuckled when she made an offended face. "Go take your shower, fish woman." She went to the bathroom and he heard the water running, then he heard a knock at the door and Yusuke came in.
"Kurama I know you saw, so could you please um, not tell," Yusuke whispered after he shut the door.
"Saw what?" Kurama smirked setting his book down on the bed; he was never going to finish that book.
"Thanks. Could you also do me another favor?" Yusuke asked grabbing a chair and setting it next to the bed before sitting in it.
"Sure, I guess," Kurama said raising one eyebrow wondering what else Yusuke could possibly ask him to do.
"Well, uhm, I feel kind of weird asking you this. Do you think you could get Rika to fall out of love with me and in love with you?" Yusuke slowly asked feeling guilty, he thought he wanted to leave Keiko and get with Rika but now that Keiko was there he realized he rather be with her then a woman who could possibly get up and leave without any reason. Kurama looked down at his hands; he was trying not to get mad. Yusuke was such a jackass sometimes.
"I don't," he started but he heard the shower turn off, "No, Yusuke you gotta get out of this yourself." Kurama felt bad sounding so mean but he was too angry to care, he was trying to keep his voice down and he was sure if Yusuke hadn't run out of the room he would surely beat him.
"What was that?" Rika asked walking out of the bathroom in a towel. She wasn't in the mood to be flirty with her body for Kurama so she grabbed her clothes and walked back into the bathroom. When she shut the bathroom door again Botan came in the other door. Kurama rolled his eyes wasn't in any mood to deal with her blonde bubble headedness.
"I here to take Rika home," Botan told Kurama, "But not until the morning so could you tell her?" She turned around and left again as Rika reentered the room.
"Who was that?" Rika wondered jumping into a spot next to Kurama on the bed.
"Botan is taking you home in the morning," he said never looking up from his book which he had started reading again.
"Oh," she said getting under the covers and instantly falling asleep. Kurama stayed up for about another hour before falling asleep. When he woke up the next morning to get ready for their fight Rika was gone. Kurama some what missed her but he wasn't really to sure why.
