Arisa sat on the floor as she pulled her legs together.
"I don't know if I should accept." Arisa whispered as she bent her head.
Honnoi Island, she needed
~In Kurama's house~
"Koenma...What has she got to do with Honnoi?" Kurama asked curiously.
"You are seriously not asking me that?" The toddler looked at the demon.
Kurama raised a brow signifying irritation.
"Well... She is a dragon wielder witch." Koenma replied.
Kurama's eyes widened in shock. This meant that Arisa was most likely—
"She is the seventh princess, Mihoko's reincarnation." Koenma replied solemnly.
"Mihoko's reincarnation?" Kurama repeated.
In his mind, Mihoko's actions replayed. The one and only true love of Yoko Kurama. Is it possible his attraction to Arisa was because of her similarity to Mihoko?
~In the university~
Arisa sat on the rooftop watching the stars twinkle. Her mind was confused and she was feeling let down.
"What should I do?" She muttered and looked as a shooting star passed by.
Her eyes softened. She knew she had to fight.
"But...Mou! Complicated!" She whined and scratched her head in frustration
After her first encounter in Honnoi, she did not want to fight again. She looked at her hands. She knew that she needed to fight in order to defeat the demon but she was still scared.
"Help me..." She whispered.
"Help you about what?" A voice made her shiver.
She turned back to see Kurama.
"What are you doing here? This is a girl's hostel!" Arisa hissed.
"Really? It was easy to access in." Kurama smiled.
"Whatever." Arisa huffed.
Kurama smiled. Even if she did look like Mihoko, her behavior was different from the princess. Arisa was headstrong and highly independent.
"Suichi..I..." Arisa's voice made him looked at her.
Her eyes were confused.
"I don't know if I should fight." She said looking down.
Kurama could notice the tint of pink on her cheeks. The way her hair fell.
"Well...Well...She does have Mihoko's traits. No wonder she felt precious even when we hated humans" Kurama heard Yoko comment.
"Yes, But she is Arisa and not Mihoko." Kurama replied back.
"Your attraction to her was never based on her attribution to Mihoko like mine had been. You liked her for the way she was Suichi." Yoko laughed,
Kurama resisted from rolling his eyes. Yoko had always found it funny that he had considered Arisa as his priority.
"To be honest Suichi... I want to help... But... I cannot wash away this guilt of having killed someone. I am so scared." Arisa spoke up.
Kurama felt his hear stop. He too, after coming to human world, had been dealing with the same painful emotion. He hugged her.
"Arisa... Killing is not good, I agree but this time, we are killing for the sake of protecting people we love." He replied.
Arisa pulled back and looked at with tear filled eyes. She felt her heart race as it always did when she was with him.
"Fox! There is an intruder in the forest behind this place!" Hiei arrived.
Arisa looked at the smaller demon who just glared at her. She felt a sweatdrop form as she wondered why he was glaring at her.
"Arisa! Stay here... We shall check on this! Let's go, Hiei." Kurama said and the two ran.
Arisa looked at them and then looked at her hands. She had to help them. Maybe, this will tell her if she should help or not.
~In the forest area~
"Damn you!" Yusuke swore as he shot another spirit energy at the demon who only laughed.
"Try as much as you want detective! My barrier will block you from destroying me." The blue demon laughed.
"What is that?" Kurama gasped as he joined Yusuke and Kuwabara.
A think blue barrier surrounded the demon who was sneering and laughing. Kurama took out his whip and attacked but the whip shattered on coming in contact with the barrier.
"There is nothing we can do to destroy that barrier... Only a strong light power can destroy it!" Hiei exclaimed as his third eye opened.
"Dragon of Light!" A voice called out and a sphere of light in the shape of a dragon.
The dragon went straight through the barrier, destroying it.
"What?" The creature snarled.
"Thunderstorm!" Arisa appeared, waving a fan.
The clouds gathered and lighting appeared, attacking the demon. The demon snarled and attacked Arisa who got hit.
"Arisa!" Kurama took another whip and attacked, the whip sliced through the demon's arms, cutting it off.
The demon snarled away. Arisa stepped up and held the fan up and suddenly she was surrounded by lights and wind. Her eyes became silver and a mark appeared on her forehead.
"Lighting storm!" Arisa dug the fan into the ground, causing the lighting to rip the demon to pieces.
The area cleared, leaving only the dragons and the detectives. The dragons vanished and Arisa relaxed and fell to the ground.
Kurama helped her up when she looked at them.
"Are these the type of demons who we need to fight?" She asked silently.
Kurama nodded.
"You know, It's okay if you don't want to join in." Yusuke replied while scratching his head.
Arisa looked at him and then at Kurama who just smiled. Hiei just looked away while Kuwabara looked at her.
"I want to help." Arisa replied, her eyes shimmering with tears.
The group nodded, while Kurama felt uncomfortable.
"But... Koenma must tell me...How to return to Honnoi." Arisa looked at them with determination.
