Chapter 4
It's been three days since the fight with Angel and her partner, Goliath. The fight in which it ended with Kira showing her true spiritual powers. Yusuke shows up at the shrine to see how his sister was doing.
" Hey old had, is my sister awake yet?", Yusuke demanded.
Master Genkai replied hitting Yusuke over the head.
" Show some respect, Yusuke! As for your sister, she'll be fine. In fact, she should be waking up soon", she replied with arms crossed.
Yusuke grins, and goes to Kira's room. He silently opens the door, and quietly walks in, closing the door quietly behind him.
" I was wondering when you were going to show up, bro", a voice said from behind him.
Yusuke turns around to see Kira sitting up with a smile on her face.
" When did you wake up?", he asked walking over to Kira and sitting down.
" A little bit ago. How long have I been out?", she asks.
" Three days, you had all of us worried. Well, every one but Hiei of course", Yusuke replied with a small smile.
Silence falls between the two siblings.
" How is every one? They didn't get hurt too badly, did they?", Kira finally asked, breaking the silence.
" A few bumps and bruises, nothing serious. What do you remember anyway?", Yusuke asks.
Kira looks at her brother thoughtfully. " I remember you guys showing up. You, Kuwabara, and Hiei fighting Angel's big brute. And Kurama getting his butt kicked by Angel. Then the last thing I remember, Angel telling Kurama the reason why he couldn't kill her. After that, everything's a blur", she answered with down cast eye's.
Yusuke looks at his sister in sympathy, knowing that she was more heart broken than angry.
" So, where is every one any way?", she suddenly asks with a smile.
" They haven't shown up yet. But I'll let them know you're awake when they do", he offered with a smile.
" Thanks, but I'm pretty sure Kurama just showed up. I think I can stand and walk", she replied, while trying to stand up. A few minutes later, she finally manages to stand up, with some help from Yusuke.
" You're sure you're alright? You should get some more rest", he suggested out of concern.
Kira smiles warmly at her brother, " I'll be fine, Yusuke. Besides, I've already gotten three days of rest as it is. Now if you don't mind, I would like to get dressed", she replied with shoving her brother out the door.
Five minutes later, Kira walks out the door and finds Yusuke waiting for her.
" You know Yusuke, I'm not going any where. You don't have to stand out here and wait for me", Kira tells him with her hands on her hips.
" I know", he replies with a shrug, and starts walking off to the front of the shrine.
Kira sighs, and proceeds to follow her brother. They arrive to find Botan, Yukina, Kuwabara, Master Genkai, and Kurama all waiting and sitting on the front porch. Botan's eye's light up as she see's Kira walking towards them.
" Kira, you're alright! Thank goodness, you had all of us worried!", Botan exclaims, giving her a huge hug.
" Ahh! Botan… it's good to see… you… to! Could you put me down now, please!", Kira chokes out.
Botan puts her down, and gives her a sheepish grin, " Sorry about that, it's just good to see that you're alright. That's all", she replied with relief.
" It's about time you woke up! Urameshi hardly left, he was too worried about ya!", Kuwabara teased Yusuke.
" Shut the hell up, Kuwabara!", Yusuke yells, while glaring at Kuwabara.
" Yeah well, I'm not one hundred percent yet. I still fell like crap, and I'm still sore all over. Anyway, any one know what happened to the demon bitch?", she asks her friends, not even looking in Kurama's direction.
" Nothing since that night, I'm afraid. What ever happened, must've done some damage to her", Master Genkai answered with a solemn look at Kira.
Every one is silent for what seemed like hours.
" So, uh if you guys don't mind, I think I'll go and get some fresh air", Kira announced, breaking the silence and heading towards the shrine stairs." Oh no you don't!", Yusuke said sternly, grabbing her arm. " You're not going any where with out at least one us with you. Is that clear!?", he ordered her with crossed arms.
Kira glares at her brother, and crosses her arms as well.
" I don't need a freaking babysitter, Yusuke! Besides, we all saw how well that worked out last night. Any way's, I'm just going back to my apartment and no where else. So stop badgering me! I'll see you guys later", she finishes, and walks off down the stairs out of sight.
Yusuke looks off after his sister dumbfounded, " What the hell was that about?! Wait a minute Kira, come back here!", Yusuke calls after his sister.
He runs after Kira, and catches up to her. Kira stops and waits for her brother to catch up.
" What do you want Yusuke? I already told you, I don't need any body babysitting me, especially if it's Kurama!", she tells him, her eyes flashing angrily.
Yusuke looks at his sister in confusion, " Kira, what's going on? Why haven't you even looked at Kurama?", he asks her with genuine concern.
She looks away from Yusuke and heaves a big sigh.
" It's nothing for you to be concerned about. Now please, just leave me alone", she replies and begins walking away.
" Damn it Kira, what's going on?", Yusuke demands, blocking her path.
Kira stops and bends her head down, trying not to get upset. She finally turns around and looks her brother, " look Yusuke", she begins trying not let the tears go, " I started to have feelings for Kurama, and learned that he had feelings for me. But after the fight with Angel and Goliath, after I heard about him still having feelings for her, I just can't stand being around him any more. It hurts too much that he still has feelings for another", she finished, her eyes covered by her bangs.
Yusuke looks at his sister with sympathy, and brings her in for a hug.
" Kira, I know you're probably hurting emotionally right now. But I trust Kurama more than any one, and I don't want you by yourself. So please, cooperate with me just this once, please?", he pleaded.
Kira looks at her brother and sighs, " Alright, I'll have Kurama as my body guard. Can I please go now?", she finally gives in. " I still have to get some things from my apartment", she explains.
" Yeah go ahead, just be careful. I'll let Kurama know and have him meet up with you. Like I said, be careful, you're still not a hundred percent yet", he replied with a stern face.
Kira nods in understanding and the two part ways.
Yusuke arrives back at Master Genkai's ten minutes later.
" Is she alright, Yusuke?", Botan asked worriedly.
" Yeah, she's fine. She's on her way back to her apartment to get some things. Kurama, can you meet up with her and keep an eye on her please?", Yusuke asks Kurama.
Kurama looks at Yusuke in surprise, but quickly regains his composure and nods. He leaves the others to go meet up with Kira.
' Maybe she's not mad at us any more', Youko says hopefully.
' Either that or Yusuke talked her into it', Kurama replied.
' At least we can talk to her and straighten things out with her', Youko replied eagerly.
Kurama didn't reply, but silently agreed.
Yusuke turns to his friends, " Alright, now that that's done, do we know for sure that Angel is out of the picture?", he asked Botan.
" I'm afraid not Yusuke", Botan sighed. " We haven't been able to locate her demonic energy any where".
" So, what do we do?", Keiko asked quietly, with a worried expression.
" We go on with our daily lives. We can't keep worrying about one demon when there's others out there", Master Genkai replied.
Kuwabara gets up from where he's sitting, and walks towards the stairs, " Well then, I guess I'll see you guys later".
Yusuke turns to Botan with a serious expression, " Botan, I need you to go back to Spirit World and talk to Koenma. We need to know everything there is about my sister's powers", he explained.
" Right away, Yusuke", she answers with a nod. She then leaves back to Spirit World on her oar.
The rest of the gang go their own way as well.
Mean while, back with Kira… " Damn it, this place is a mess! And I have no place to go tonight, either", she says to the empty room.
" You're still more than welcome to stay with me", a voice says from behind her.
She didn't need to turn around to know who it was, to know it was some one she didn't feel like seeing at that moment.
" Thanks, but no thanks. I'll just find a hotel or something for the night and look for another apartment", she replied with out turning around. She hears movement behind her, but still doesn't turn around.
" Look Kira", Kurama begins with a sigh, " I don't or never will have feelings for Angel. I might have at one point, but not any more. It's all in the past, you are the only woman I will have any feelings for", he finished.
Kira finally turns around to face Kurama and searches his eyes to see if he's telling the truth.
" Then why didn't you speak up or say anything to that bitch?! Why didn't you deny it? If you truly didn't have feelings for her, you wouldn't have hesitated in fighting her", Kira replied with sadness.
Kurama steps over to Kira, and tilts her head up to look her in the eyes.
" I should have and for that I'm truly sorry", he replies sincerely.
She looks at Kurama trying to stay mad at me, but not succeeding. She turns around and folds her arms, " Fine, I'll take you up on your offer. But don't expect me to forgive you any time soon", she says, trying to sound angry.
' Yes, she forgives!' Youko cheered.
A smile creeps it's way onto Kurama's lips, " Take all the time you need, I'll wait. Shall we gather rest of your things and get going?", he asks.
Kira nods and proceeds to gather the rest of her belongings, knowing she probably wouldn't be coming back any time soon.
So what did you guys think? Please r&r.
