Chapter Five: Revenge

When Lea was dressed and clean, she found her way back to Kurama's couch. She also found her packed overnight bag. While she had been dressing, Kelly explained that Lea's aunt thought she was spending the night with Yukina. Lea didn't ask why they were at Kurama's. She already knew the answer. Kelly was forcing her to look at the better side of demons. ' Like that's ever going to happen!' Lea thought. "What's never going to happen?" implored a voice from behind her. "I'm not ever changing my views on the fact that demons are monsters who need to be stopped. And if I ever fell in love with one I'd have to kill myself," the elf responded. ' Where did that come from?' Lea asked herself. She stopped dead when she realized what she had said and that it wasn't to Kelly. She turned around to see none other than a certain red headed Kitsune. She could see amusement in his eyes and something else she couldn't decipher.

"I said that out loud, didn't I?"

"Ummhmm."

"Whoops. You weren't supposed to hear that."

That's when Lea heard giggling above her head. "Kelly? Have you been there long enough to stop me?" the elf questioned. "Yes." "Then why didn't you!" Kelly giggled then replied, "You're funny when you're embarassing yourself!" Lea sweatdropped, then sat down and pulled her knees to her chest.

There was a few moments' silence until Kelly suddenly exclaimed, "Oh! I'm gonna be late!" Lea looked up. "Where are ya going?" "To meet Koenma," the spirit announced. "I'll go, too." Lea insisted. "No! You are staying here, like it or not!" came the reply. Kelly then said in elven, "Get to know Kurama or else!" "You're evil!" Lea whined, but Kelly had already left.

An awkward silence followed until Kurama remarked, "I'm sorry you had to sleep on the couch." Lea was taken by suprise. "Wha? Um, you don't have to apologize." There was another awkward silence until Lea asked, "Where's your mom?" "Away on vacation." "Oh. Say,would you like to learn some elven?" "Not to be rude, but weren't you going to try to kill me the other day?" Lea stared at Kurama blankly and answered, "That was...complicated. Besides, you were the one who let me into your house. I'm not going to attack you." "In that case, sure." The elf was thoughtful for a moment, then started the kitsune off with the elven word for "love".

After two and a half hours of teaching him, Kurama could fluently speak the most recent variation of the elven language. "You're a fast learner!" Lea complimented. "Thanks." It was then that the doorbell rang. "Excuse me for a moment." Kurama got up and went to the door, Lea following close behind. "Hey Kurama. Where's that girl you were tellin' us about?" a greasy haired boy greeted as soon as the door was open. A whole group of people came in, including Hiei. Lea glared at the fire demon. She could feel people's stares, so she stood by Kurama and said, "Hi!" "This is the girl? She's pretty, but she has a wierd energy," an orange haired guy stated. Kurama introduced her to everyone and she explained what she was. "I hope it's okay that we brought a movie," Kieko said after introductions were through. "It's fine," Kurama explained. "What movie is it?" Lea asked. "Lord of the Rings."

In a matter of minutes the gang was sitting in front of the tv, commenting on the actors. "Orlando Bloom would make the perfect elf! He doesn't look too bad as a human, either!" Botan was beside the elf and nodded her head in agreement. Lea giggled at the zombified look on the ferry girl's face and went back to the movie. Kurama watched the elf's reaction and sighed. Why was he falling for the elf? ' Wait. Am I falling for Lea?' he thought to himself. Hiei, who was sitting beside the kitsune, smirked jagan glowing. Kurama noticed this and concentrated on the movie. But his thoughts kept going back to Lea. He was saved from his mind when Botan's compact rang. They stopped the movie and Botan answered Koenma's call.

"Botan here!" Koenma's face was grave and Kelly was by his side. "Botan, you guys have another mission. A demon has found his way into the human world. Your job-" "Is to find and catch him, toddler we know." Yusuke interupted. "Yes, but be careful. This demon's dangerous and powerful. Any questions?" Koenma directed to Yusuke. "Yea, can I go?" Lea begged. She had the expression of a little kid wanting a certain toy on Christmas. Koenma looked a question at Kelly. The spirit said, "She knows what her limits are. Besides, she'd just go anyway." Koenma looked unsure, but said okay anyway. Lea practically dragged everyone outside as she said goodbye to Kieko and Shizuru.

So off they went, with Botan using the demon compass. Which was getting them nowhere. "Botan, we're goin' in circles! Can't Hiei just use his Jagan eye?" Yusuke complained. "We've tried that already, remember?" The group had stopped on the sidewalk and everyone except for Lea and Kurama started arguing. Kurama sweatdropped, then confided, "I would say that they're normally not like this, but that would be a lie." Lea laughed, but froze as she caught the smell of something. Something that only haunted her nightmares and memories.

She sniffed again. There was no mistaking the scent. Lea knew where the demon was. "What's wrong?" asked Kurama, getting everyone's attention. "I know where the demon is. Follow me." Lea started walking in the direction of the smell, the gang following behind. Kurama sensed her fear and confusion. "You know something, don't you?" Lea rolled her eyes and answered, "Nice deduction, Sherlock!" "Well?" "If this means what I think it means, then this will be a rough battle for you guys." Lea explained morosely. Suddenly, she stopped. The delicious smell had led them into a dead end alley.

"So much for that idea," Yusuke muttered. "Show yourself, demon! Or I'll hunt you down!" Lea shouted. Her voice echoed until an icy voice said, "Hello!" Lea felt sick. "You eat elven children, don't you?" "They're a rare delicacie where I come from, which I'm sure you already know." The demon appeared in front of her. He was the same hieght as Lea and looked around the same age, too. He looked familiar to Lea, but she couldn't place him. "What's your name and why did you lead us here?" she questioned suspiciously. The demon looked at her in mock suprise. "I'm hurt. You don't remember, do you?" "Remember what? What is it I should remember?" The demon disappeared from the alley. Lea smelled the scent again, this time leading to a nearby park. ' Just right for a freak like him,' she thought. It was night, which meant most places were deserted. Lea started running, the Rekai Tantei right behind. When they got deep into the park, the smell disappeared. "Alright, demon. Just why are you leading us here?" Lea demanded. The Rekai Tantei glanced around. The demon appeared right in front of Lea. "I'm leading you here for the same reason you've become a demon slayer. Revenge." Lea glared an I'm gonna kill you glare. "What're youtalking about! And what's your name!" The demon's eyes glittered as he said, "My name is Kaito, and I'm talking about your father's death."

A/N: I know, I know. The Yu Yu gang probably wouldn't watch Lord of the Rings, but it fit into the story. Plus, Orlando Bloom is HOT as Legolas! Hope ya'll liked! Please review! Thanks! God Bless!
