Hiei's Love
Chapter 11: Guess Who's Back?
"No, no.." Hiei started, moving back, his body frozen. Yusuke and Kuwabara seemed horrified.
'What is he mumbling about? I HAVE gotta see!' Without further ado, Yusuke decided to see what everyone was 'mumbling' about.
"Damn! What the hell's goin' on?" he asked. He couldn't believe it!
"What, Urameshi?" Kuwabara asked, but Yusule only pointed at the pages the book displayed to them. Inside was Ryuichi! Okay, not Ryuichi, but a picture of her; underneath her sleeping photograph were the words "Another victim of Zaro the Almighty Vampire Demon." In frustration, Hiei ripped the page apart.
"Don't waste your time, Hiei." Koenma told him as the page magically wove back into the binding of the book, unscathed.
'Damn you, Zaro...damn you..!' Hiei cursed in his mind. He had to focus and help her get back to this world. He had to free her from Zaro.
"Yeah...explain this, Koenma." Kuwabara told him. They all looked confused or at least looked confused on the inside.
'This is one very strange situation.' Kurama squinted, holding the deity's hand. She held on tightly, but let go as Koenma summoned her to come next to him.
"Yessir?" she whispered to him.
"Check on her onelast time. If she has not awaken, then..." he whispered back, not finishing the sentence. She nodded and left, looking at Kurama before disappearing.
"Where has she gone, Koenma sama?" Kurama asked as they just stood there.
"No reason, Kurama. Now, everyone, come over here and I will explain everything." Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei and Kurama came a few inches closer sitting on the carpeted ground. "Now this book, which I thank Kuwabara for finding," Kuwabara nodded in agreement, "is everything you need to know about Zaro." Hiei's crimson eyes widened in hopes of getting that book ASAP. Unfortunately, Koenma read his mind. Not literally, though.
"Now Hiei, it doesn't tell him his weakness. Or in fact it says here that he has no weakness." Koenma sweatdropped.
"So, this book's like a biography?" Yusuke asked.
"Yep."
"It says his history, origin, and all that stuff, so here you go. " He gave the book to the reikaitantei as they flipped til the beginning of the thick book.
'There's so much information!' Kurama's emerald eyes widened in surprise.
Botan...
"Ryuichi! Ryuichi!" Botan yelled at her. She couldn't touch her, so she had to use her voice to try and get through to her companion.
"Come on Ryuichi, fight him!" She teared.
Inside Ryuichi...
"What's happening? I can hear someone crying and calling my name! Botan! "
"Ha ha...Ryuichi, just a little more and--"
"NO! I WILL NOT BE CONTROLELD BY YOU ANYMORE! GET AWAY!" Ryuichi said inside. Her will was so strong, surprising the vampire demon, causing him to be sent back from where he came.
'Damn! I'll get you!' Zaro furiously cursed in his mind as he was sent back to Makai.
"Ha ha! Yess! I've got him out! I've defeated him! Now all I gotta do is wake up."
----
'Pleasse...Ryuichi! If you won't wake up then...' Botan dared not to think about what would happen if she didn't wake up. Tear fellf rom her eyes as she was on her knees, her hands on her face, sobbing.
"Huh. Now why are you crying?" a voice came from above. Botan stopped, looking up.
"RYUICHI!" she recognized at once. A large smile was on her face as she hugged Ryuichi. TIGHTLY. VERY tightly.
'Oh god, Botan!' Ryuichi smiled, and coughed a little.
"Y-you're...k-killin me..." she managed to say. Botan blushed a bit and then let go.
"S-sorry..." she looked down. Ryuichi smiled, tired, mentally, and hungry.
"Are you okay, now?" Botan took hold of her arms as Ryuichi got down from the bed. It took a while for her to adjust to her own bodyweight again since she was trapped in her mind.
"Yeah, I'm fine. By the way, got a comb?" she asked, deciding to sit down on the bed. Botan said to "hold on." as she wentto fetch one. Ryuichi rubbed her temples.
"Wow... that was very...difficult." Ryuichi smiled.
'I have never said anything was difficult. I've met my match.'
"I'm exhausted. He would not let go of my mind. He wanted to use me..." she talked again, her crimson eyes bore right into the window, where she could see the blue haired deity come back, with a comb in her hand.
'..but for what? Ah, I'll think about it later, but first, I wanna see Hiei!' Her heart jumped at the thought.
"Here ya go!" she smiled bubbly. Bubbly. Bubbly. Bubbly.
"Arigatou." Ryuichi smiled, taking off her hairtie and combing the dark locks. She then put it back into the ponytail and got off the bed, this time walking perfectly balanced.
"Come on, I'm sure Hiei can't wait to see you." Botan smiled, leading her. Ryuichi nodded, feeling really excited.
With The Others...
"Yeah...No way!" Yusuke said as the guys flipped through the pages. Suddenly a page fell out. Kurama picked it up and flipped it over since that side was blank. As he flipped the side over, it,too, was also blank.
"Strange." he remarked.
"Well, it was found int he back, so let's look there." Kuwabara suggested, as he took the bunch of pages and brought them to the left of the book.
"There's no pic of Ryuichi! Where'd she go!" Yusuke asked, pointing at the one page that Kurama was holding.
'Weird.' Koenma thought, looking at the door to see when Botan would come out.
"Maybe she escaped his grasp." Hiei considered what Yusuke said, but he still felt kind of awkward.
'Why would Zaro do this? He wouldn't just let her go free. He's planning something, I'm sure of it. But what?' Hiei's mind flooded with thoughts like those, making it a real jumble.
"Well,you must all read everything in there." Koenma stated. "There are more information and everything. You guys have to take hold of everything if you're going to stop him. Besides, Ryuichi, he could possess more and more minds."
'Oops..I shouldn't have said the "Ryuichi' part!' Koenma sweatdropped as he felt Hiei's cold stare.
"Sorry." He went back to the book, flipping and reading more of the myriad bits of information. While they were working, Botan silently snuck in with Ryuichi besides her, pulling Koenma and George behind a towering bookcase.
"Ah! What the--"
"Sshh!" Botan whispered harshly in Koenma's ear. He looked confused, but when Botan pointed at the fire demon next to her, he understood immediately. So did George.
"Ryuichi!" he whispered. 'You're all right! Are you okay? You need help?" he offered.
'Gee...whenever I need help he never offers!' Botan thought, sweatdropping.
"I'm okay, thanks. Can I go see them now?" she asked, smiling. Botan mouthed a 'let's go.' as George, Koenma and Ryuichi followed her. Well, Ryuuichi HAD to follow her cause she was still under her grip.
"Ahem."
"Well, Zaro has a..."
"Ahem."
"Yeah, but the..."
"AHEMM!" Botan screeched. All eyes and heads turned towards her.
"What do you want, Botan? Can't you see we're busy?" Yusuke said rudely.
"Guess who's back..." she said in a sing song voice as she moved away, letting Ryuichi come forward. Everyone's mouths opened as they were in total shock. They just couldn't believe that she was there, right in front of them!
"R..Ryuichi.." Hiei managed to say.
'Oh, Kami, thank you...she's back...back!' He left his spot instantly and came at her side, hugging her. She hugged him back.
"I missed you...a lot." she said, kissing him on the cheek.
"Well, guys, give her a great big hug!" Botan suggested as everyone gave her a big BIG BIG BIG hug!They quished her and Hiei closer, making her red.
'Uh...' she thought.
"Guyss! Getoff!" she laughed, pushing them all off.
"Welcome back!" Yusuke smiled.
"Yeah, shrimp number two."
"Better?" Kurama smirked at his good friends, Hiei and Ryuichi. They smiled at him, holding hands.
"We still have to find Zaro." Hiei let go of her hand, going back to the book. Everyone followed as well.
"Yeah, Zaro's gonna pay big time!" Yusuke punched a fist into his palm. "We'll make sure of it."
