We'll here's the third chapter, and I appreciate every one who has red this story so far. This is technically my first fan fiction, and it's very relaxing after having to chase a 1 yr old all over the place. Enjoy.
It was the day after the confrontation with Keiske, and Kurama had taken Kira back to his apartment. It was late afternoon, and Kira was just starting to wake up. " Hmm, where am I?", she mumbles as she sits up.
" You're at my apartment", a voice says from across the room. " Kurama? What happened to Keiske? Why am I here?", Kira starts asking. Kurama walks over to Kira and sits down next to her on the bed. " Slow down, one question at a time. First off, Keiske's dead, and second, I brought you here to my apartment cause you're not safe at your apartment anymore", Kurama calmly explained. Kira is silent for a bit, trying to make sense of every thing. " But isn't Keiske the only one who knew where I lived?", she asked. Kurama smiles, " As far as we know, he is. But we can't be sure that he's the only demon who know about your powers", he explains. There's silence between the two. " I still don't understand what he meant. The only powers I have, is my spirit energy. And it's not half as powerful as Yusuke's", Kira remarks. Kurama gets off the bed with sigh, " You have more power than you're aware of, Kira. You just haven't tapped into it yet", Kurama explains to her. " So in other words, I have more power than my brother? Do an of the others know about it?", Kira asks. " Master Genkai and possibly Hiei", Kurama answers. Kira slowly gets up, but quickly sits back down feeling a little light headed.
" You shouldn't get just yet, you hit your head pretty hard", Kurama said with concern.
" I'm fine, I just have to get my bearings", Kira remarked, standing up.
" Wait, where are you going?", Kurama asked, following her out the door of the room.
" I'm going home. I'm not going to stay here and hide", she answered, heading out the door. Kurama hurries past her, and blocks her way.
" It's not safe, and I won't let you leave!", Kurama stated firmly. Kira glares at Kurama.
"Get out of my way, Kurama!", Kira demanded, trying to push past him. Kurama stands his ground, preventing her from leaving.
" No! Kira, I am not going to let you go back to your apartment. It's just too dangerous and I don't want anything to happen to you", Kurama explains. Kira is silent for a few moments, not knowing what to say.
" Alright, at least let me go back and get some of my belongings", she finally gives in with a sigh.
" As long as I go with you, then fine", Kurama agrees.
" Fine, then lets go. I have this feeling that we're going to come up against some trouble later on", she advised.
Kurama nods in agreement, then the two are off to retrieve Kira's belongings.
Twenty minutes later, the pair arrive back at Kira's apartment. Kira opens the door slowly, and cautiously enters the living room. Everything's still in disarray, but Keiske's body is no where to be seen. Kira turns to Kurama in confusion.
" Where's Keiske's body?", Kira asked.
" While you were unconscious, I took the liberty of disposing of the body. I had a feeling that you would want to come back", Kurama answers calmly.
' You do realize that we're lying to her, right?', Youko asked worriedly.
' Yes, I do. But it's best not to make her worry', Kurama answered.
Kira smiles in thanks, then proceeds to gather her belongings.
Ten minutes later, Kira gathers up the last of her clothes and school books.
" There, that all of it for now. Let's go before I change my mind and decide to stay", Kira remarked.
Kurama helps Kira with her things, and exit's the apartment. It takes twice as long getting back to Kurama's apartment due to lugging her luggage and such.
"Now that that's done, lets go get something to eat, I'm hungry", Kira suggests. Kurama nods in agreement.
" Sounds good, but we need to stop by Master Genkai's for a bit. There's something I need to discuss with her", Kurama replies. Kira nods and heads out the door, followed closely by Kurama.
Everything was going smoothly, before they both sense a demonic presence.
" Kira, be on your guard. We may have some unwanted guests any moment now", Kurama cautioned. Kira nods in understanding, getting ready for anything or any one. Moments later, the ground in front of them is blown away, leaving a hole inches deep.
" Kira, look out!", Kurama shouts at her.
Kira looks up just in time to see two dark figures come out of no where. The first demon to land in front of Kira, was male, standing about six feet tall, with horns on either side of his head. Dark red eyes and teeth that could cut a man in half. The second demon was female who looked rather human in nature, but had crimson red eyes.
" What the hell do you two freaks wand?!", Kira demanded, ready to defend herself.
The female demon, who looked to be the leader, walks past Kira and stops in front of Kurama, who has a rather shocked expression on his face.
" Hello Kurama, it's been a while, how have you been?", she asked Kurama with a seductive smile. Kira looks from the demoness, then to Kurama.
" Kurama, who the hell is this?! And how the hell does she know you?!", Kira demanded angrily. Kurama recovers from his shock, and looks at the demoness.
" Angel? What are you doing here? I thought you were dead?", Kurama asked, still with a shocked expression.
" I'm alive and well, as you can clearly see. And as to the reason why I'm here, well for the girl of course", Angel replied with a smile.
Kurama stands in front of Kira and glares at the two demons.
" Stay away from her. I won't allow you to harm her", Kurama stated firmly. Angel glares at Kurama.
" You would rather be with this… human and risk your life for her, than be with me? I thought we had something Kurama, I guess I was wrong."
Angel looks to her companion and nods. Before either Kurama or Kira could react, the other demon grabs Kira from behind, almost crushing her.
" No, Kira! Put her down, now!", Kurama demands angrily. He goes to reach for his rose, but stops when the taller demon crushes Kira even more.
" Ahh!", Kira screams out in pain.
' What do we do, Red?!', Youko asks in concern.
' There's nothing we can do, except let them escape', Kurama answered with a little edge to his voice.
" Don't do anything that would harm her in any way, dear Kurama. Now, we'll just take our leave. It was nice seeing you again, Kurama. Until we meet again", Angel says sweetly, giving Kurama a small peck on the cheek.
" No, Angel STOP!", Kurama pleads, but was to late. Angel and her companion were already gone, along with Kira.
" Damn it! I have to get to Master Genkai's and quick! Yusuke is not going to be happy about this", he says to the empty street. He quickly makes his way to Master Genkai's shrine, where luckily the rest of the spirit detectives had already arrived.
" Whoa Kurama, where's the fire?", Yusuke jokingly asks.
" Where's Kira? I thought she was coming with you", Keiko asked.
" There's been some trouble. Kira's been kidnapped", Kurama replied grimly .
" What?! When?!", Yusuke demanded.
Kurama went on to explain what had happened the night before and later that day.
" So, the girl still hasn't realized her powers, yet?", Hiei jeered.
" What "powers"? What is all this talk about "her true power"?", Kuwabara asked.
" It's very simple, Kuwabara. Kira has a vast amount of spiritual energy that she hasn't tapped into as of yet. That is why all of the demons are after her. If they end up getting all of that power, we're in trouble", Master Genkai explained.
" Then we have to find her before they get what they want. Where did they take her?", Yusuke asked Kurama.
" I'm not sure, but if we locate her spirit energy, we'll be able to find them. Hopefully we get to her before it's too late", he answers with concern.
" Then let's go!", Kuwabara urged everyone. The four spirit detectives head out in search of Kira and her captures.
Meanwhile, in another part of town, Angel and her partner arrive at a dark and empty warehouse with an unconscious Kira.
" Set her down over there, Goliath", Angel instructs him.
Goliath sets Kira down on the floor and secures her ankles and wrists.
" It's just a matter of time now, before we'll be the most powerful demons. Then the human realm will be ours!", Angel announces cheerfully.
Moments later, Kira starts waking up.
" Where am I?", she mumbles groggily .
She takes a look at her surroundings and stops on Angel and Goliath.
" You! Where am I ? Where's Kurama?", she demanded.
Angel laughs evilly, before answering, " You're in a abandoned warehouse and Kurama didn't care enough to come after you", Angel lied.
Kira glares at Angel, and attempts to stand up.
" Don't bother getting up, you're all ties up at the moment. Now to get down to business. Hand over your powers and we'll let you live. Refuse, and we'll torture you till you do. Now, which will it be? And remember, choose carefully", Angel finished.
" I thought you had to kill me in order to get my powers?", Kira asks with a glare.
Angel chuckles, " Keiske must have given you that impression. Unfortunately for us, we have to keep you alive. So be a good human and give us your powers", Angel demands.
Kira glares at Angel and smirks, " And unfortunately for you, I refuse!", Kira answers while spitting in Angels face.
Angels smirk turns into a glare as she wipes her face.
" I was hoping we wouldn't have to get nasty. Goliath, hold her!", Angel orders.
Kira tries scooting back, but hit's the wall.
" Stay away from, you big brute!", she yells.
Goliath picks her up, and holds her up to face Angel.
" Now, I'll give you one more chance. Give… up… your…power!", Angel ground out.
Kira smirks at Angel, looking her square in the eyes, " And I said, NO!".
Angel generates an energy ball and fires it at Kira, sending her bouncing against Goliath, then to the ground. She was badly injured, but still managed to sneer up at Angel in defiance.
" Is that all you've got, Angel?! My brother hits harder than you, and he's human!", Kira jeered.
Angel stomps over to Kira, picks her up by the throat, and throws her against the far wall. Kira slumps to the floor, not moving.
" What shall we do now, Angel?", Goliath asks.
" Wait till she wakes up, then we'll take it form there. Let's go, I'm hungry", she answers, while going out the door.
Goliath followers closely behind her, locking the door with Kira inside.
Back with the Spirit Detectives.
" Hey Kuwabara, can you sense her yet?", Yusuke asked anxiously.
Kuwabara concentrates on Kira's spirit energy.
" Sorry Urameshi, nothing yet", he answered sadly.
" Damn it! Where the hell did they take her?! We've been searching all damn night!", Yusuke shouted in frustration.
In the back of the group, Hiei uses his Jagan eye and quickly locates Kira.
" Detective, I've found her, but she's not alone", Hiei advises them.
" Where is she, Hiei?", Kurama calmly asks.
" She's at an abandon warehouse at the edge of town", Hiei answers with a arms crossed.
" Good, then let's go!", Kuwabara shouts.
Ten minutes later, the four detectives reach the warehouse, where Kira is being held.
" Angel and her partner are in there as well, we must be careful", Kurama warns them.
They sneak in very quietly, and hide behind a stack of crates.
" Now, have you changed your mind yet, human?" Angel demanded, with a kick to Kira's stomach.
Kira is still tied up, so is unable to defend herself.
" Not a chance, you demon bitch!", Kira manages to grunt out.
' There's no way I'm giving in to these demon scum!", Kira thought to herself.
" Goliath, you know what to do", Angel tells him with a sneer.
Goliath moves towards Kira, picks her up over his head, while she's too injured to struggle.
" Put her down!", a voice yells out from the shadows.
Goliath drops Kira, hard on the ground and looks over to Angel in confusion.
" We weren't expecting any one, were we?", he asks.
Angel glares around the warehouse, trying to pin point the source of the voice.
" I didn't expect you to get here so soon, Kurama!", she yells out.
Kurama, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei all step out into the open.
" Get away from my sister, you demonic bitch!", Yusuke demands angrily.
" And if I don't? You wouldn't do anything stupid to risk harming the girl, spirit detective. Goliath, take care of these pests!", she instructs Goliath.
" With pleasure!", he replies with a sneer. He advances on the four detectives, with a evil gleam in his eyes.
" Kurama, go get my sister. We'll take care of big, tall and ugly!", Yusuke tells Kurama.
" Right!", he replies with a nod, and proceeds to Kira's side.
Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei all take on Goliath, while Kurama goes to rescue Kira. Angel smirks as Kurama walks towards them.
' So red, what do we do? She looks pretty beat up', Youko stated.
' I know that Youko. We have to proceed with caution, or they could hurt her even more', Kurama replied with even more concern.
" Hello again, Kurama. Come to rescue your lover? Well sorry, I can't let you do that!", Angel smirks, while at the same time attacks Kurama.
" Looks like Kurama isn't have any better luck than we are!", Kuwabara yelled, while dodging an attack from Goliath.
" Pay attention to your opponent, human!", Goliath growls, while punching Kuwabara in the gut.
" Then we better finish this and help him out!", Yusuke shouted back.
Yusuke points his finger, which is glowing blue, at Goliath and shouts,
" Spirit Gun!".
A bright blue light shoots out and pierces right through his chest, killing him instantly.
" Good, now that that's done, let's go help Kurama", Yusuke tells the other two.
" You will not stand in my way! The girls powers will be mine!", Angel shouts in determination.
She attacks Kurama, landing a kick to his stomach, sending him flying against the wall.
" No! Kurama!", Kira yells, still tied up.
Yusuke rushes over to his sister, and unties her wrists and feet.
" Are you alright?", Yusuke asks with concern.
Kira winces in pain as Yusuke helps her to her feet.
" Yeah, I'll be fine. We have to help Kurama though, he can't beat this bitch on his own", she replied.
" You're in no condition to do anything. Just stay put, and we'll help Kurama", Yusuke says sternly.
" But…", Kira started to protest.
" No buts! Just stay put!", Yusuke butted in.
Kira sinks to the floor, to exhausted to argue further.
" Fine, just be careful", she said giving in.
Yusuke, Hiei, and Kuwabara rush over to help Kurama.
" Hey man, you alright?", Kuwabara asks.
Kurama gets up and nods, " Yes, I'm fine. How's Kira?", he asks concerned.
" Beat up and bruised, but alright. Let's get rid of this chick once and for all!", Yusuke says angrily.
" And what are you four going to do? I know for a fact that Kurama won't do anything, he still cares about me", Angel sneers. Kurama glares at Angel, cause he knows she's speaking the truth. Kurama looks over to see the hurt look on Kira's face, then turns back to Angel.
" There's no way I'm going to let you hurt her! Rose Whip!", he yells out, while taking out his rose.
" Sorry, but I really don't have time for this. See ya next time, human!", she says sweetly, while attempting to leave.
" You're not going any where, you demonic bitch!", Kira yells. Moments later, she's surrounded by a pink light, and floating in the air. Yusuke and Kuwabara all look on in utter shock with their mouths hung open. While Kurama and Hiei calmly look on, knowing full well what was happening.
" Whoa, what's happening to her?!", Kuwabara asked in amazement.
" Humph, stupid humans! Her emotions are activating her powers", Hiei informed them.
" So this is what your powers are. Very powerful indeed, and soon they will be mine!", Angel shouts, then charges at Kira.
" Stupid demon bitch! You could never control these powers! Now, be gone!", Kira shouts in a demonic voice. She then releases her all the built up energy, straight at Angel, knocking her through the wall, and out of sight. At the same time, Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama all duck from the enormous energy heading towards them.
" Whoa, that was close!", Kuwabara said in awe. Kurama rushes over to Kira just as she falls to the ground, catching her. ' Man red, she doesn't look to good. You think she'll be okay?', Youko asked, his voice laced with concern. ' I hope so, Youko, I hope so', Kurama replied, also very worried.
" How is she?", Yusuke asked, joining him.
" She's unconscious from the amount of energy she used. And there's no telling when she'll wake up", Kurama told them. " She doesn't look too good. We better get her to Master Genkai's, maybe she and Yukina can fix her up", Kuwabara suggested. Kurama picks her up and the four detectives head back to Master Genkai's, with a very bruised and battered Kira.
Half an hour later, the four detectives arrive at Master Genkai's, where she and Yukina are waiting for them.
" Kurama, how is she?", Yukina asks worriedly.
" Not too good, I'm afraid. Do you think you can help her?", he asks the two women. Master Genkai looks Kira over, and nods her head, " take her into one of the spare rooms. We'll meet you there", she instructed Kurama. Kurama does as he instructed, and takes Kira to the spare room. Master Genkai and Yukina join the four boys a few minutes later.
" You four, leave. I don't know how long this will take, considering her injuries", she informed them. The four of them nod, and leave the room, Kurama deep in thought.
" What made her loose control like that? It was like she was a totally different person, altogether", he thought out loud.
' Gee, I wonder? Could it possibly be the fact that it was what that bitch said? I do not have feelings for her!', Youko interjected.
' I'm sure you don't. Then what stopped you from attacking her?', Kurama answered matter of factly. Youko doesn't answer, ' That's what I thought', Kurama replied with a inward smirk.
Yusuke shook his head, " I don't' know, I've never seen her like that. That definitely wasn't like her". The three boys, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama, all sit outside the room. While Hiei goes off by himself.
