Waking Up With Magic
Chapter 2
By: ShadowsOfTheHeart
"To wake up in this dream and see your god like eyes,
makes me want to hold your hand
and never let it go. "
Note: I do not Own Yu Yu Haklusho
"And this is my wife, Tskui Hinote" he stated in a loud strong voice and quick get gently he pulled the shocked Lucy towards him and planted and very forced kiss on her lips.
Oh snap
I just stood there wide eyes, as did everyone.
He just
He went and
Oh god
He kissed her
He kissed her on the lips
Shock isn't the emotion to say it.
Damn, she's going to kill him.
The look of pure horror that passed across Lucy's eyes said it all, her stiff body, her unmoving hands; I could feel in my soul the rage that was building up in her stomach every second his lips where on hers.
I filched as a high pitch scream filled my ears, Lovedaia is screaming like some just ripped the head off her first born child. Her brother was trying to calm her down. I took in a breath and looked around, people where now starring at use like a bunch of crazy people, and I do believe that if we didn't high tail it out of her soon Lovedaia is going to unleash all her powers upon Lucy and Alistair. I glance over at my mother, who was holding her in giggles; I swear that her and Hollybella are the same person sometimes.
I took in a breath and quickly walked over to her, "Mother we need to leave" I stressed with a tap on her shoulder. She glanced over to me and shrugged. She was finding this way to amusing, Kurama would really get a kick out of this if he was here.
On seconds thought
I think he would try and make it worst.
"Just leave them be, I want to see how this will pan out" she whispered to me while a chill ran down my spine. I looked back at Lucy and Alistair who were still in their lips lock, she was about to snap.
"You'll be less a child if we don't end this, can't you like transport us out of here or something like that?" I stressed as a heavy sense of danger pressed down on me. "Lucy is about over her shock, that was her first kiss you know"
Mother eyes changed then "You should've told me sooner" her voice was rushed, about time she understood.
I really wonder what goes on in her head sometimes.
"Take my hand, you remember the deporting spell right?" she stressed taking my hand before I could move.
"Yeah, it was the easy one" I muttered out annoyed.
"Let's chant then" she stressed back annoyed, I sighed, she was like a kid sometimes. "Ready?" she added taking in a breath.
"Yeah," I whispered back shyly, this is the first time doing magic with mother. I watched as she took in a slow breath, I did the same and then we sang the magic, it was only three words, be you had to focus everything on the people and where you wanted to go.
We're going back to the main house.
Kurama had just gotten a call from Yomi, telling him that he was needed in the demon world. He didn't like the tone in the old demon kings voice, but he had no choice, he was his second incommand.
With a sigh he went to his window and looked across to her window where he has seen her sit so many nights watching him come and go. He though he has told her not to stay up waiting for him, she has never listened and he didn't really expect her to.
"Void" he whispered as he turned from his window as Yomi's words passed behind her ears.
"I have heard a rumour that there is a Void user among the mages, do you know anything more on this Kurama?"
"I only know what I have heard; she is part of the war mage family and is very well protected"
"Is that so? Humm, I found a book once on the power of void. Very power magic, a well trained user could gather up enough power to destroy a planet. To have such a person on ones team would be a great asset."
"From your tone, you almost would like you want that power"
"Ah, everyone seeks such power; I simply want to know more about the user. Since you still proceeded to live in the human world, you are the best one to get the information that I need on that user. I am sure I can make a deal great enough to temp the mage into joining me."
"Demon's are not well like by war mages, especially the family that this void user is from, her mother is the current head of the war mage circle. I believe you know her, Rosabella Allard."
"Ah yes, I had the pleasure of meeting her once, her heart was broken then, but her powers were great. All I need is information; you don't have to be friends with them. Or has the great demon thief lost his touch?"
"I have lost nothing, I just preferred not to"
"Remember our deal Kurama, right now you are my second, and I just gave you an order, make sure you obey your orders."
Kurama finished dressing as the contract burned under his skin. There was no way he was going to give Yomi the information he wanted, but it was hard to lie to someone like that demon. Though he did not have sight, his hearing was phenomenal. He could hear even the slightest change in heart rhythm.
But, Kurama was also very well equipped in the art of lying.
In a rush of gold smoke and dust we were back at the min house, in the backyard to be correct. Lucy was the first to react as she pushed Alistair away from her and pointed at him with fury in her normally happy brown eyes,
"WIFE, WIFE! YOU JERK OUT OF ALL THE STUPID THINGS YOU COULD HAVE EVER SAID! NOW THAT BLOND BITCH IS GOING TO TRY AND FUCKING KILL ME!" she took in a breath "AND YOU KISS..KISSED ME! YOU INCONSITERED BASTARED YOU STOLE MY FIRST KISS!"
I just looked at Lucy "Lucy you just... swore, oh god, Alistair you better run, and mom stop laughing!"
"I can't, this is just amazing" she rushed out while holding her sides.
"It's not like it's a lie" Alistair calmly stated while he removed his sunglasses and tossed them aside, "and that wasn't you first kiss so stop the drama"
I just watched them and took this all in; I didn't know what question to ask first.
Lucy face went bright red "Shut up! We were kids I didn't know any better!"
Something clicked then "Lucy, Alistair can you tell me what's going on before mother here die's from laughter?" They bother snapped their head over to me like they had forgotten I was here. Lucy covered her face then and snuck to her knees.
"I can't believe you Alistair, Holly saw it all, I can't believe you did that in front of her" she was sobbing now, I'm even more confused now.
"Will you stop with the drama, what do you think would have happened if Lovedaia kissed me, or if you someday kiss another boy?" His voice was strong and harsh, like he was talking to a child.
Will it was more like scolding a child.
"I know what would have happened, but you didn't have to"
"Okay stop!" I shouted and walked in-between them. "One of you is going to fill me in, or one of you is going back in front of Lovedaia and to face her fire."
I heard a heavy sigh "I guess we can't hide it anymore" Alistair muttered running a hand though his messy hair that had somehow come out of it binding. Lucy jumped up at this point and pushed me out of the way. "What the" My butt hit the ground rather hard. "Oww, that going to leave a mark" I stressed just catching Lucy's statement.
"You can't, we can't tell them that we're actually married"
"Married?" I question getting up while Lucy throw her hand to her mouth and back away from Alistair. He sighed then and took off his jacket and lifted up his red shirt.
"What are you doing?" I stressed out in a rush and threw my hands to my face.
"Will you shut it and look" he stressed back "I'm not going to strip" he added with annoyance. I slowly took my hands down from my has while Alistair turned to show me his chest, there under his heart is what looked to be a black tattoo, it was the just a little bit bigger then a quarter. It was weird in shape as well; it kind of look like a deformed butterfly but it was pretty at the same time.
"Okay, why are you showing me some messed up tattoo?" I dryly asked
"Didn't you read any of the books I gave you?" he stressed back ready to rip my head off.
"I may have skimmed them" I shrugged
"Look here" I heard my mother yelled while Lucy gave a yelp of shock. I turned fast to see that my mother had appeared behind her and pulled up Lucy shirt and part of her bra. Lucy was red in a face and was struggling agents her, but I say it, there just under her left breast was the same tattoo.
I gave my head a tilt "I still don't understand, did you two get drunk one night and get the same tattoos?" I asked in a sly way.
"No you idiot, this marks mean that they are married under magical law" My mother stressed at me.
"I am not an idiot!" I stressed back, then something hit me hard, "Wait up, did you say that Alistair and Lucy are actually married?"
"She's like a carbon copy of Hollybella" I heard my mother whisper.
I glared at her.
"Well sorry for being a little slow, I didn't grow up in this magical world you know!" I wasn't impressed at all, but. "Okay forget about that for now, explain this marriage thingy"
"Yes Alistair explain" Our mother stressed letting Lucy go so she could fix her clothes.
He just sighed and lowered his shirt as well "It happen when we were kids, back when grandfather promised me to that bi..woman"
"It's okay you can call her a bitch" I stated with amusement.
"Holly don't swear in front of your mother" Lucy stressed at me.
I turned to here with wonder in my eyes "Oh" I giggled then "So does this mean Lucy can swear but I can't?"
She went red "I didn't swear"
"Oh, oh, I believe you did, I have two weaknesses"
"Girls well you please shut up." Mother stressed giving us the stink eye.
I held up my hands and turned back to Alistair "Okay, Alistair you may go on" I stated polity not before giving Lucy an evil grin; I'm never going to let her live this down.
"As I was saying, when we here kids me and Tskui were very close, me her and Hojo use to play a lot before I started my training to become head of the circle."
"Before you changed" I head Lucy whisper softly; my eyes drifted to her as my heart jumped from her sadness.
It was almost like she was actually in lo..
"Tskui was very attached to me" I jerk my eyes back to Alistair as he went on , there was also something in his voice, deep, sad, hurt almost "so when I was promised to Lovedaia she cried, and cried, because she didn't want to be separated from me. So she asked someone about how we could always be together and she came up with the idea to kiss each other above our hearts. We didn't know then that it meant marriage."
I just looked at him; I think I just got more confused. "I still don't get what it has to do with the tattoo?"
"In our world when a mage gets married it's a marriage for life. To prove ones love they kiss the other above the heart, leaving the lovers mark or tattoo as you call it. If bines the two together, if by chance someone else kisses that mark or the lips of the one they are not married to then the others heart will stop beating."
I looked between the two, I leaned back on my foot and wagged my finger between the two "So basically if a girl kissed you, Lucy dies, and if a boy kisses her, you die"
"That's right"
"Who thought of that stupid costume?" I stressed a little baffafled
Alistair sighed "It was meant to prevent cheating" he turned then "If one truly loves the other then this mark would mean nothing"
"Why would you do such a thing?" Our mother stressed, I believe she was angry.
"We didn't know what it really meant then, it wasn't until the year I started my training with you that I finally understood what we had done. I sent the papers to Tskui and she stopped talking to me" he sounded tired and I think sad.
Pain struck my heart. Right when I needed her the most I shook my head as his thoughts passed behind my ears. I looked between Lucy and Alistair, those two, are they actually in love with one other and just don't know it.
"I was in shock, because I.. god damn it Alistair we're old enough now to get the marriage dissolved." She stressed with tears hidden in her voice.
"Dissolved?" I question, the word just seemed wrong for this.
"It's a very powered breaking spell, there would be no way as kids that they would have survived it." Mother informed me. "And that spell can only be done by one person"
"Who?"
"The head of the mage council, and he has to be convened that you two idiots do not love one another before the he will remove the connection." She was serious in her words and hard in her eyes as she looked between the two.
I placed my finger on my chin as an interesting thought passed through my head "So this means that Lucy is not only my step-sister but she's also my sister-in-law."
"Holly!"
"What it's true, oh does Hojo know about this little predecament?"
"No! Of course not it was our secrete!"
"Hau, Secrete huh?"
"Holly please!"
"Holly leave your sister alone" I heard mother state and sighed at the same time. "We can't be teasing the lovers" she added not before she burst out laughing again.
Lucy went red again, while Alistair spun around "Rosabella!""Mother!"
I ran my hands over my hair and held in my own laughter, I don't believe I have even seen Alistair or Lucy this worked up before.
But
The pain that was forming in my heart was telling me something different between these two, in the back of my mind I could feel sometime sharp, like a clawing at my ankles; there was something about their story that was a total lie.
You have the power to see things that no ones can, even if you don't realise it yourself.
I sighed as the wind blew; I wonder what Kurama is going to say when I tell him about this?
"Don't you even dare tell that demon!" I jumped from Alistair's voice and turned to face him, shock surged thought my body, I'm pretty sure I said that in my head.
"What the hell are you screaming about?" I stressed hoping I didn't say my thoughts out loud, again.
"You and that demon, just because you say you're in love with him doesn't give you the right to tell him anything about my personal life!" Angry laced his voice and words, I have never seen him yelled at me with this much anger before.
But
"Why are you so damn upset, and Mom, Lucy did you hear me say anything about tilling Kurama?" They jumped from my direct question and seem to be looking away like they wanted no part in my spat with my twin.
"I don't remember you speaking, but you and Alistair are twins, mage twins at that, there will be times when you two can sometimes hear the others thoughts by accident." She spoke like it was common knowledge.
Damn it
"Why don't you people even tell me the important stuff until after it happens, and you" I pointed at Alistair "for your information I tell Kurama whatever the hell I want, personal life, ha, you people have been all up in my personal business since I've met you!" My heart started to burn as the wind started to change.
"Holly calm down, remember your powers react to your emotions" I heard Lucy stress
"I know! You and You" I pointed at Lucy and Alistair "Sort your shit out, I'm going home!" I turned from them and hissed out a song, air rushed around me and the sickening feeling of falling overcame me
"Holly wait"
Lucy drew back her arm as they watched Holly vanished in a sea of her electrum durst, it scattered like wild fire as her body was taking on a magical ride back to their home in Japan.
"She's getting better at that" Rosabella stated very proudly like any mother would.
"Well at least she's getting better at something" Alistair muttered and ran nervous hands over his messy black hair.
"Alistair you need to go and apologise to her" Lucy cut in, she was unsure in her voice while her nervous hand tried to smooth out the wrinkles in her white blouse.
"Huh, she's the one that needs to .."
"Alistair you went off on her after you listen to her inner thoughts" Rosabella cut in, harsh and stern. Her short red hair moved slightly as the warm wind blew.
"She was going to tell that .."
"Alistair Michael Allard!" she hissed causing a rush of power to whip around her body causing her forest green spring dress to whip and trash around her slender legs.
"Rosa clam yourself I don't want to have to remodel the house again" came Michaels annoyed voice from the French doors that lead back into the house.
"I am calm!" she hissed back as the wind started to pick up.
"Rosa!" he snapped causing her wind to stop, Rosabella huffed out in annoyance and crossed her arms over her chest. "There you go, now why are you kids fighting?"
I sighed as I reappeared in my bedroom, my anger seems to melt away as I spotted my bed, sleep; sleep would be so good right now. But I turned to my room window and opened the curtains, my eyes went right to his window, a window that was slightly opened and the curtains were dawned.
I sighed "You're gone there again" With another sigh I turned from the window and went to my bed. I gave a little giggle as Lucy's and Alistair predicament popped into my head. "Married huh," I flopped down on my comfy double bed and rolled on my back "Ha, stupid girl, even I know when to ask important questions."
Mate? You mean you would have to bight me?
Don't get so worked up, it won't hurt
Push, we've only started dating, you're the one who shouldn't get so worked up
Oh it's hard not to, I'll wait but I believe it won't be long one
Calm down fox boy, but out of curiosity what would happen if you bight me?
Oh, well you would be mine.
Yours well that nice to know, I'll go from being a person to an object.
No you won't be an object, you'll simply be mine. I will know right away when you are in danger, if another male, whether it be human, mage or demon touches you; it's very similar to a mages marriage.
I sat up then and went to my window and threw it open, he was home; I could feel his energy moving inside his room.
Should I go to him?
I smirked and closed my eyes before he could feel my energy as well and as I closed my curtains I was gone in my sea of magic.
Kurama sighed as he re-entered his room, he had fought with the former second in command to Yomi's army ending in the latter dyeing. The parasite demon was now gone from his younger brother, and he was tried. He was tired from fighting with his demonic side, more and more power was staring to leak out and he was starting to fear that he himself was starting to lose his human side.
He was Shuichi
He was Kurama
He was Yoko
But which one was real?
He jerked then as her sent filled his senses, he spun around to his window and started moved but before he could he could even flinch, his room was engulfed in a sea of electrum dust, her dust. He let a smile speared across his face as that dust died down and there she was, floating lighting off the floor. Her hair was lightly moving around her, sweet and hypnotic like.
"You're getting good at that" he whispered while she just smiled and lower herself to the floor, all remnants of her magic was gone and her hair fell around her like water.
"Okay before you hug me or trying any of your demonic possessive things and ask me a million questions, listen to this" Kurama unwillingly nodded and let me go on "Remember how you where telling about your demonic mating and how it was similar to a mage's marriage, even though you never really finished that story, but anyway, get this, Lucy and Alistair are actually magically married since they where kids."
Kurama just looked at me as the information I just shared with him fully snuck in "You're not lieing, this is," he turned around then and tried to hold in his laughter. "I was wondering when their little secret would come out"
"Hey, what did you just say, you knew about this?" I stressed and moved towards him and before I could grab onto his shoulder he spun back around and grab my wrist, in doing so he pulled me into his chest. His sent engulfed me, it was so powerful and so were his arms as they wrapped around my back and pulled me closed to him.
He was almost suffocating pleasant.
"It's easy to tell when two mages are married" he whispered in my ear, slow and hypnotic.
I moved so I could look up into his eye "Easy? Well how about you let me go and explain it to me" I stressed, I can only take so much of him at a time. When he gets close like this I always get light headed and my head gets fuzzy, my heart, oh god my heart feels like it going to jump out of my chest.
"Having a hard time are we?" again his voice was slow and daring.
"You're going to have a hard time in a minute if you don't let me go" I stressed trying to keep my senses in check.
"I would love to see that, but" he mused pushing me back and leaning in close to my face "I believe your family is also back" he lightly finished with a sweet kiss. Heart rose to my face as he pulled back and just smiled at me with some evilness in his emerald eyes.
I was a little dazed but "Tell me how you knew about Lucy and Alistair?" I wasn't going to give up.
"How do you think I knew?" He mused moving to his window and looking out across "Hojo is going to get angry if his finds out you're in my room, alone with me" his voice dropped then as his sent overflowed into this room.
"He'll be angrier if he knew you let your demonic side out" I muttered a little annoyed, I was trying to cover up the fact that this was starting to get to me.
"Oh, I don't believe he will be angry with me, a girl should know better than to barge into a boy's room, alone, with no one else in the house." He moved then back towards me a light glow of gold was in his eyes, telling me he was having fun playing with me.
"Well that is true, but this girl can always disappeared before you can.." I was stopped from his lips, strong and forceful, shock jumped in the pit of my stomach; I didn't even see him move. He pulled back sharp and strong, his arm was around my waist, securing me in place; he wasn't going to let me go.
I sighed.
"Was that necessary, really?"
"How hateful, I'm almost hurt" deep was his voice as his other hand took my chin where he proceeded to moved his finger across my lips.
"Well maybe if you stop playing with me then I wouldn't be so hateful" I lightly teased
He chuckled and let me go "You are something else, and it's smell" I just looked at him as he moved to his window.
"Smell?"
"I can tell from their smell, they have the same magical sent" he stated moving from the window to his bed where he sat down, it was then I noticed how tired he was. The stress was clear on his face; I wish he would help me what was going on. He hasn't told me anything about what he does in the demon world, and I don't believe he ever will. All I get form him is, just trust me, nothing more.
I pushed those thoughts away, even if it left my heart with sadness "Same magical sent?" I wondered and walked over to him "My I sit, or is that too dangerous as well?"
He gave a slight chuckled I could see his tiredness disappear from his face "Very dangerous"
"I see" I moved then backing up and took his desk chair and moved it so I was sitting in front of him.
"How this?" I teased with a light smile.
"Still dangerous" he teased back and before I could think he grabbed my arms and pulled me out of the chair, it was fast as we moved in sync and before I knew what was really happening I was on top of him on his bed. My face was close to his, my arms where stretched out with his above our heads. "It will always be dangerous will me" he added softly, his breath tickled my lips.
"umm, is that so" I wondered while I tried to make my voice sound a little board.
"Yes" it was soft and gentle, different from his playfulness from before, this was the voice that always makes me lose all my senses.
"Okay" I whispered and moved my head to give him my kiss. But before I could touch his waiting lips the door burst opened and
"Shuichi I need to ask you something..oh Holly-chan I didn't you where over" The younger Shuuichi stated slowly hiding his embarrassment.
I flew off the bed as fast as I could "This, ah, it was his fault" I stressed pointing at Kurama.
"Sorry to interrupted" he gave me that sly smiled and he was gone, not before I heard,
"Mom, Shuichi is busy but I can go to the store for you!"
I fell to the floor and covered my face with my hands "I thought you said no one was home"
"I did?" The air moved around me, and I knew he was behind me, I could feel the air move around him again as he bent down and rested his hands on my shoulders "Well I guess I was mistaken" His voice was soft again, and I could feel him move closer to me, he face was close to my ear, I dropped my hands from my face as his forest like sent passed across my nose..
"Your evil you know that" I stressed and moved my head so I could see his face.
"Not evil just.." I stopped him with my soft kiss, his lips where sweet and soft. Like these kissed more then when he is messing with me.
"Oh what a pretty scene" I jumped back from Kurama as my eyes went to the window, my heart jumped out of my chest as Alistair stepped into the room. I could feel the anger coming off of Kurama, but he simply stood up and held his hand out to me. Alastair stood with his arms crossed with anger in his eyes.
Oh great,
I took Kurama hand and let him help me up. "What are you doing here?" I stressed still annoyed from his earlier outburst.
"I came to take you back; you still have a day of training left. Don't just think you can leave whenever you want just because you're angry at me." He sighed then and held out his hand to me as he looked away "I'm sorry" he whispered in a low sigh.
"This is..." I cut Kurama off with a look; I didn't need him to make this worst.
"Okay, I'll come back" I stated back with some annoyance "See you in a day" I whispered to Kurama and moved towards Alistair taking his outstretched hand.
"Lucy is freaking out we can't calm her down" he added placing his other hand above his head; he was going to move both of us.
"Oh, all you have to do is give her some ice cream" I stated looking back to Kurama and gave him a smiled. Again I could see how tired he was but he smile back as Alistair as red and blue dust like magic started to engulf us.
His eyes went to Alistair and that smiled turned into a evil smirk as we started to fade away "Oh and Alistair, I already knew, be careful you don't die" I didn't even get time to stop him before Alistair flinched from anger, he just had to make it worst, the dust covered us in seconds as we were turned upside down and whisked away.
Kurama sighed out with success in annoying Alistair, not before a knock came to his door. "Shuichi do you and Holly want some tea?" his mother voice was sweet, he could only sigh and go to his door.
"That's okay mother, Holly has already left" he opened the door then and gave her a smile.
"Oh, I didn't hear her leave" she answered back a little confused
"She's light on her feet, now what was it you wanted me to get" he covered and left his room, making sure his mother didn't get a glimpse of the settling magical dust that was still swirling and dancing in the sunlight.
Preview of Chapter 3
"So are you really going to get you marriage with Alistair dissolved?"
"Of course, I don't love him remember"
"Hum.. That would be a lot more convincing if I didn't know you where lying."
Thank you for reading!... I'm going to try and get a chapter out once a week... =)
