Kurama and Takara
"Gee great, all my clothes were in there." Takara sighed as Kurama chuckled.
"You look almost the same size as my mother. Maybe a bit taller. I'm sure you could wear some of her old clothes." Kurama said as Takara shrugged.
"I still can't believe Hiei left the iron on..." Takara muttered as Kurama turned a corner and Takara kept walking straight, having been looking at the sky instead of the street. She stopped and looked around, "Eh! Kurama!" Takara yelped as she felt panic tug at the edge of her mind.
"Takara?" Kurama called out from an alley as Takara ran over and looped her arm with his.
"I don't like this neighborhood!" Takara said as she squeezed her eyes shut and Kurama let out a mental sigh of relief at not losing his trainee.
"You'll get used to it." Kurama provided as they wlaked off to his house, which was in the nice area of the neighborhood. The side that Takara (thankfully) liked.
"Mother?" Kurama asked as he opened the door after finding the extra key on the top of the door.
"Suiichi, is that you?" Kurama's mother asked as she came from down stairs.
"Sorry to wake you mother. But this is Takara. Her...Grandmother's house burned down tonight and she needs a place to stay, so I offered here. Is that alright?" Suiichi asked.
"Of course!" Suiichi's mother sang, "Hello, Takara, I'm Suiichi's mother, my name is Shiori." Suiichi's mother said as she bowed to Takara.
"Pleasure to meet you ma'am." Takara answered also bowing.
"Mother, could Takara borrow some of your Pajamas? Her clothes were destroyed in the fire." Suiichi explained.
"Why of course! Come with me Takara-dear!"Shiori said as Takara followed behind happily, with a nervous sweat drop.
'How can someone be so happy this early in the morning?" Takara asked herself, noting the hands on the clock read 3:00 AM.Shiori gave Takara a nightgown for the night and Takara fell asleep in the elder women's bed (which she had gladly given up).Shiori got changed in the bathroom and went to start cleaning the house around 5:00 AM, after cleaning she sat down to read and fell asleep until the kids got up around noon. Takara chose a baby blue tank top and a pair of denim jeans, that actually ended up as loose capris on her, out of a few clothes thatShiori had set out for her.
"Good morning Suiichi-chan." Takara said teasing Suiichi as he glared at the hanyou kitsune.
"Insult me after you've brushed your hair." Suiichi answered as Takara scowled at him, after his referral to her clump of bed head.
"It's such a paaaaaiiiin though." Takara whined.
"Cut it then." Suiichi said.
"NO NEVER!" Takara yelped as she made Suiichi jump in surprise.
"Alright!" He said as he blinked at his trainee.Takara yawned and flopped into a chair with an apple.
"Your house is sooooo comfy." Takara said in a relaxed tone as she plopped her feet on a foot rest and bit into the apple.
"Thank you?" Suiichi said unsurely as Takara stood back up after finishing the apple, she threw it away then stayed in the kitchen for a minute, looking out the window as she brushed her hair with her fingers and a comb made of solidified air.
"Is that your garden Suiichi?" Takara asked as Suiichi stood up to look out the window and the comb disappeared.
"Yup, Mom must have been taking care of it while I was gone." Suiichi answered.
"Can we go out and look at it?" Takara asked as Suiichi nodded. He toldShiori he'd be in the garden and Rada nodded as she went upstairs to gather the tatami mats. When Suiichi and Takara came out into the garden a breeze blew the scents of the flowers past their noses and Takara inhaled deeply enjoying the sweet smells. Suiichi smiled as he watched the hanyou walk over to a group of assorted pansies. Her attention was drawn then however to a group of white, yellow, and red roses.
"So what's your favorite flower?" Suiichi asked as Takara closed her eyes in thought.
"Tiger Lillies." She answered.
"I like those but I prefer roses." Suiichi answered, "My mother's favorites are pansies." He added as Takara smiled.
"Ya, anyways, tomorrow don't you have to go back to school?" Takara asked.
"Yes. Though I would prefer not to, I have to take final exams and attend the Prom, at our school it's mandatory." Suiichi answered.
"That stinks." Takara replied.
"Ya, tell me about it. Anyways, let's go change these bandages." Suiichi said referring to the bandages on her jaws.
"Mmk." Takara said as she followed after Suiichi. She waited in his room, sitting on the edge of the bed as he got the first aid kit. She noticed photos of different scenes, all of the same place. She got up and looked at his bulletin board, "That looks like our house." Takara muttered to herself as she looked closer. Sure enough, if you looked as close as possible, you could see the outline of a figure in a window waving outside to the two other girls on a swing set. The girl's face in the window was illegible, but she had blue hair-nearly black. The girl on the right side of the swing had black and silver hair and the girl on the left side of the swing had short gold hair that ended at her chin.
"Takara?" Suiichi asked until he looked over to his bulletin board to see Takara staring intently at one of the pictures, "Something wrong?" He asked.
"This was taken...two years ago." Takara said as Suiichi looked at her in surprise.
"How do you know that? The dates are on the back." Suiichi asked.
"Because that's our house." Takara answered, looking at Suiichi out of the corner of her eyes.
"It is!" He exclaimed as he gaped at the picture.
"Ya, I'm the blonde, Mizuki's on the swing next to me and Aki was shouting at us about something to do with...I think not cleaning the bathrooms...or was it bedrooms? I dunno, either way, that's our house." Takara said.
"But your hair is so short in that picture, It couldn't have grown this long in just two years." Suiichi said.
"Sure it can, an Elemental's hair is usually long, well, women's I just let mine grow out. I haven't bothered to spend the money and get it cut since then. But anyways, Elemental's hair grows fast." Takara answered as she sat on the edge of the bed and Suiichi sat down on the chair across from her, still looking at the picture.
"So, who works on the garden out back?" He asked, after getting over the slight shock.
"Me. OW!" Takara yelped as Suiichi had to peal off one of the bandages that stuck to her jaw.
"Sorry, The garden is beautiful." Suiichi said.
"Thanks, NOT THE WITCH- OWWWWWWWW!" Takara screamed as Suiichi covered his ears.
"SORRY!" Suiichi said flustered, "This is gonna hurt again." He added as he pealed the other bandage off of Takara's jaw.
"O-!" Takara started as Suiichi put a hand carefully over her mouth, avoiding her skinned jaw.
"Shh, you're okay." Suiichi said calmly as Takara finished her pained screams.
"That hurt." She muttered when he let go of her mouth. He rubbed the back of his neck.
"I don't think this is gonna help." He said as he wiped some Witch Hazel on Takara's jaw, his hand shot to her mouth as she erupted into screams again.
"That's starting to annoy." Takara said as he laughed nervously after dropping his hand.
"Sorry, oh, there goes the phone. Don't. Touch. The. Wounds." Suiichi said warningly as Takra grumbled something.
"Ya, Ya, go git the phone Foxy." Takara replied as she grabbed one of his photo albums. Suiichi went and got the phone.
'Heya Foxy. Is Takara there, I have something to tell her.' Mizuki's voice rang throught the ear piece.
"Ya, just a minute Mizuki." Suiichi answered, "TAKARA!" He yelled, causing Takara to jump and run out of the room in a panic.
"What's wrong?" She asked in surprise.
"Phone's for you. Oh crud..." He added when he looked closer at her jaw.
"What?" Takara asked as she took the phone from him.
"You're gonna need stitches, three or four on each side." Suiichi answered.
"Jooooy upon Joys. Believe me...I'm bounding through a field of floors laughing in delight at the sound of the pain." Takara said sarcastically as Suiichi just rolled his eyes and went to find the things he needed, "Anywhoo, what's new Mizu?" Takara asked as she flopped on the couch, avoiding the phone touching her wound.
'Well, we just got a call from Condoleezza. She has some info for us, and I think you should hear it straight from the source, so I'm gonna patch you in, mmk?' Mizuki asked as Takara said yes and waited patiently as buttons were clicked and the line went momentarily dead, 'Whoops, wrong line, sorry about that.' Mizuki said as more buttons were pressed and finally a faint ring was heard, 'OH YA! WHO ROCKS!' Mizuki yelled before Takara was patched in to Condoleezza's line.
"OW! WHAT THE HELL! DON'T I GET SOME-" Takra started
'Hello?'
"ANETHESIA FIRST!" Takara yelled as Suiichi muttered something but continued stitching even though Takara was wincing and crying out in pain. Condoleezza stayed on the line until they were done.
'Again, I repeat, Hello?' Condoleezza asked.
"Hi...ow..." Takara whimpered into the phone.
'What did he DO to you? Ram ya a little hard?' Condoleezza asked.
"NO! OH MY DEAR GOD LEEZZA!" Takara screamed, and then winced as pain shot through her jaw (A/N: Okay, Kurama's gonna be called Kurama from here on out ecxcept when his Mum's talking to him...it's just a bother writing Suiichi). Kurama re-dressed her jaw and gave her an ice pack to put on her jaws.
'Anyways, What's cookin Good-lookin?' Leezza asked.
"I'm gonna hurt you, now tell me the info you gave Mizuki." Takara growled.
'Yes Ma'am!' Leezza answered sarcastically.
"SHUT UP AND TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON!" Takara yelled, soon regreeting the consequences, "Ow..." She whimpered.
'That must've been one helluva night there Mi Amor (Translation: My Love).' Leezza said as Takara growled a warning, 'Alright, Alright, Amor, (Translation: Love) take a chill pill.' Leezza said as clicks resounded in the background. Kurama gave Takara a new ice pack seeing as the old one had lost it's cool and melted, 'Okay, Mi Amor, (Translation: My Love) The information is coming up on the computer at the Zorro Hombre's casa. (Translation: Fox Man's House).' Takara stood up and went to the computer as it self-booted up, 'You there?'
"Ya." Takara answered as Kurama came in to see Takara place a disk into the disk drive, several minutes later the disk popped out, "Call ya back Leezza."
'¡Ah, pero le echaré de menos demasiado mi amor!' Leezza yelped. (Translation: Oh, but I will miss yo too much my love!)
"Leezza-"
'Si?' (Translation: Yes?)
"LIVE!"
'WAAAHHH!-' click.
"Gyad she gets sooo annoying...Mi amor my ass." Takar amumbled as she huffed and grabbed a hat and shoes.
"Where do you think you're going?" Kurama asked.
"I have to go to Yusuke's to visit with Genkai, then I have to go to the feudal era...actually...I can do this all tomorrow." Takara said noticing thatShiori would be home soon. And she really didn't feel like worrying the poor woman.
"Well you do that, and I'll walk you to Yusuke's tomorrow in the morning. I need to go to school, and it's on the way there." Kurama said as Takara nodded.
"I'm gonna go take a shower." Takara added as she went to the bathroom and took a shower as the phone rang.
"Hello?" Kurama answered.
'Hey Foxy! Takara there still?' Mizuki asked.
"Hold on." Kurama said as he knocked on the bathroom door.
"Ya?" Takara asked.
"Mizuki's on the phone for you."
"Just a minute!" Takara answered as she got out and wrapped a towel around her then opened the door and walked out, "Thank you." she added as she took the phone, and Kurama blushed almost as bright as his hair, "Hallo!" Takara sked happily.
'Hey sis! Did you get the info?'
"Not yet, I have to go to Yusuke's in the morning to talk with Grandma."
' 'Kay, well, anyways, better let you go, Hiei's yelling at me about not resting. Talk to ya later!'
"Amele." (Translation: Love You)
'Amele!' the line went dead and Takara hung up the phone.
"Thanks again." Takara said as Kurama grunted and continued to stare intently at his book. Takara got out of the shower soon and got changed into a black night gown, falling asleep on the couch, after his own shower Kurama picked Takara up bridal style and put her to bed as she continued to sleep on.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Morning
"Mmm," Takara murmured as she stretched and got changed into a black halter top with tan pants, white flip flops and a dark grey light sweater. She tied her hair into a bun on the top of her hair and put on a pair of sunglasses. She left a note on the fridge tellingShiori that she had gone out for the day. Kurama came out in his school uniform and then went with Takara to Yusuke's after dropping her off he went to school and Takara went in.
"Good morning Takara." Genkai said.
"Morning Grandma." Takara said as she handed Genkai the disk.
"What's this?" Genkai asked.
"Can you quickly tranfer it to VHS?" Takara asked as Genkai nodded and the disk turned into a tape, "Thank you." She added as she stuck the VHS into the VCR.
'In 2 weeks a new power will emerge, born into this world as ll others. This child will be either the downfall, or the savior of the universe. As the Robbed Trio, you have had numerous amounts of experience in theivery. Your mission is to steal away this baby the day it is born. It will be born on June 4th of this year. You have two weeks to prepare. And be on high alert, this is one mission where you will also have another companion. Her name is Anima and she is experienced in mapping, do NOT allow your captives to come on this mission. Oh, and Takara, a woman named Lady Bao has personally asked for your assitance with a small raid, nothing drastic, a day or two at most. Finish Lady Bao's request before you go to find the child. The Child has been figured to be born in Ningenkai, around your city some place. Good Day Ladies.' A woman with pale blue hair and yellow cat eyes said.
Her name was Perdita, a name she had chosen when she joined the Academy, it meant Lost and lost, she was. She had risen to the position of leader after only two years in service of the company. The company was named De La Mort meaning Of Death. During the day it was an inconspicuous bar and restaurant named De La Vie meaning Of Life, while in the night it became one headquarter of a network of assassinators, thieves, and all other criminals who worked for a government.The Robbed Trio spent nearly 3 years in the Academy training and when they finally passed they were assigned to one last mission before officially being let out of the Academy. They were assigned to be together (each one had been trained in a different occupation) and were assigned to thieve a rich house. They passed, needlessly to say, with flying colors and were finally let out of the Academy. Although their training stayed with them and they continued to theive.
"You remember her Grandma?" Takara asked as she turned the TV off and then took out the tape.
"Yes, she was the one named Lost, correct?" Genkai asked as she bit into an apple.
"Perdita. It MEANS Lost. And ya, it is." Takara said as she put the tape back in her bag, "What time is it?" Takara asked.
"12:00. I'll make you some lunch." Genkai said as Takara nodded and Genkai made them beef stew, enough for Yusuke to re-heat when he got home as well. When they finished it was 1:00 and Takara decided to spend the rest of the day at the market nearby.
"C'mon, pick up, pick up, pick up." Takara muttered as Kurama's house phone rang until the answering machine picked up.
'Hi you've reachedShiori and Suiichi Minato , Please Leave Your Name, Number, and a breif message and we'll try to get back to you as soon as possible.' Shiori's voice rang through the earpiece.
"Hi guys this is Takara, if you're hearin' this Suiichi, I'm just calling to let you guys know that I'm gonna be in the market place by Yusuke's house till schools out, I'll come over here and wait for your call back. Talk to you guys in a bit." Takara said into the answering machine as she hung up, waved goodbye to Genkai and strolled over to the marketplace.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
3 Hours Later
'Hi Guys, this is Takara, If you're hearin' this Suiichi, I'm just calling to let you guys know that I'm gonna be in the market place by Yusuke's house till schools out, I'll come over here and wait for your call back. Talk to you guys in a bit.' Takara's voice said from the Answering Machine.
"Stinkin, Kitsune." Kurama muttered as he dialed the numer, after talking with Takara and Yusuke, Yusuke agreed to walk Takara over to Suiichi's house. The house was just far enough so that Kurama could take a shower, and that was JUST what he needed. After an hour had passed Kurama heard a knock and got out, wrapping a towel around his waist as he answered the door, poking his head out, he saw Takara with her upper arm being squeezed, her left eye shut in pain as she grit her teeth and an annoyed Yusuke on the hand that held her arm, "What-?' Kurama started.
"Take this stupid Fox." Yusuke said as he shoved Takara in the butt with his foot and she stumbled into the room. She sighed in annoyance but stayed on her hands and knees.
"Thanks anyways, Yusuke. See you tomorrow." Kurama said as Yusuke nodded and left, "What did you DO?" Kurama asked after closing the door.
"Nothing, he's just a maniac who likes to hurt me." Takara answered as she took the hand that Kurama offered. She finally noticed he was in nothing more than a towel and looked at his stomach after she scooped to grab her bag, looking at him out of the corner of her eyes. His well toned abs that rippled with muscles, concealed by his usual attire. His arms were no better, being well muscled, probably from so much training. Takara stood up and got her things together, going to her room for the night, concealing the blush that had managed to creep up to her cheeks.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
That Night
'My dear, there is no place to run.' A woman dressed in fine silk said as she walked over cooly, as if on a catwalk.
'S-s-stay away! I-I-...I'll shoot!' Takara screamed as she shakily held up one of Aki's guns.
'Do it.' The woman answered as an unconciously controlled Aki stood infront of her.
'I-I-...I...c-c-can't!' Takara screamed as she pointed to the sky and shot at anything for six shots. She crumpled to her knees, the gun clattering to the gun as she sobbed and felt the cool brick wall against her back.
'Kinko, help us!' Mizuki's voice sang through Takara's head as her pupils and eyes changed to gold. Her hair sparkled in any light it caught as her fnags grew, her tail swished and her ears twitched. She lunged at the woman who shrieked in fear and Kinko sunk her fangs into the woman's shoulder as her shrieks filled Kinko's ears. Her claws dug into the woman's sides and as the woman weakened Aki and Mizuki fell away from her grasp and stopped Kinko from completely tearing her apart. as the girls pulled Kinko away from the woman Kinko turned on them and-
"AHH!" Takara screamed as she flew up in bed, her forehead was drenched in sweat as her breathing came in ragged breaths and she looked around, establishing her whereabouts. She sighed in relief as she realized that Kinko was still asleep. She began to cry at the last prospect of the Dream, or possible Vision. She shakily got out of bed and wrapped the thin blanket around her shoulders, in a tank top and pajama bottoms set. She walked down the hall to the second door on the left (the first door was Rada's bedroom, Takara had gotten the guest room finally afterShiori had cleaned it while they were out). She knocked quietly on the door, just loud enough to ensure that Kurama would hear it. Kurama drowsily opened the door to the face of a distraught Takara who had deffinetly been crying, her eyes were red and she looked ready to start crying again.
"Takara? What's wrong?" Kurama asked as Takara choked back a sob.
"I-I don't want to i-i-i-mpo-pose but c-can I pl-pl-please sleep in h-hear toni-night?" Takara asked biting her lip to avoid crying.
"Ya, of course. C'mon in." Kurama answered tiredly.
"Th-thank you." Takara said as she came in, Kurama closed the door behind her. He sat on the bed as Takara sat in the corner. Kurama sighed as he saw her wipe her eyes.
"Takara, come here." Kurama said as Takara shakily stood up again. When Takara came over he took her right hand in his right and pulled her on the bed as he layed down as well, laying down with Takara securely wrapped in his arm, his left hand was between his face and Takara's head on the pillow as Takara stopped shaking, relaxed and Kurama noticed her breathing turning rhythmic as sleep consumed him as well.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Later That Night
Kurama woke up sleepily, half aware of his surroundings. He heard a small whimper under his chin and saw that Takara was wrapped in both of his arms, she was clinging to his shirt as if in reassurance that he was there, and her legs were tucked near her body, her face contorted in discomfort, fear, and sorrow.
"It'll be alright Takara, we're here for you. No need to worry." Kurama whispered, hugging her in a light squeeze as her facial expressions began to soften and her whimpering ceased. Kurama fell into light sleep again as Takara's visions turned to sweet dreams.
