Well here's chapter 6, sorry for the wait. I usually write up the chapters first then I type them out. But I want to thank every one who has stuck with this story so far, and all the reviews. So with out further ado, here's the next chapter.
Chapter 6
"Botan!", a voice yells from inside a large room.
" Yes, Koenma sir?", the blue haired ferry girl asked, entering through the large double doors.
" How is the research coming with Yusuke's sister?", he inquired.
" Actually sir, I think we might have found something", she answered eagerly.
" Well, tell me already!", the toddler yelled, standing on his seat.
Botan looks through the papers in her hands before answering.
" Well, it seems that Yusuke's sister is a half demon as well. Although we don't know the exact reason why she doesn't show any characteristics of being one", she finally answered.
Koenma is silent for a few moments, trying to process the information.
He finally stands up and walks over to Botan.
" I want you to gather the spirit detectives, including Kira. I think they need to hear this. Maybe Kurama and Hiei can shed some light on this", he finally instructed her.
" But sir, do we even know what type of demon she is?", she replied with concern.
" That's what we're going to find out. Now get going, I don't have all day!", he exclaimed.
" Right away sir", she replies, gives a bow and goes to summon the spirit detectives, as well as Kira.
" Come on Yusuke, tell me why I can't use my powers? I don't sense a demon anywhere. And besides, I'm suppose to be training with Master Genkai right now", Kira whined.
Yusuke had just come by Kurama's apartment and informed Kira of her not using her powers.
" Because, it's still not safe and we still don't know the extent of your powers. Now I don't want to hear any thing more about it", he explains to her.
Kira stands in front of Yusuke with her arms crossed.
" I don't care what you say, Yusuke Urameshi. You have no right to tell me what I can and can't do", she declares with a glare.
" I think Yusuke has a point Kira. We don't know the extent of your powers, and Angel is still out there", Kurama piped in.
' As well as Keiske', Youko put in.
' Yes, but she doesn't need to know that right now', Kurama answered.
Kira looks at Kurama dumbfounded,
" What?! You can't be agreeing with this, Kurama?! I can't believe it, I'm being ganged up on!", she replied exasperated, while sitting down.
Kurama sits down next to Kira and takes her hands in his.
" We're not ganging up on you, we're trying to keep you out of harms way", he tried explaining.
Kira looks at Kurama then at Yusuke.
" Fine", she finally gives in with a sigh, " I'll refrain from using my powers. But, what do I do in case of an emergency? Run and hide?", she asked with sarcasm.
" No, one of us should be with you at all times. Unless you're at school, then you don't have to worry about it", Yusuke replied smugly.
Kira doesn't have a chance to say anything before a portal opens and Botan steps through.
" Hello every one, I'm glad I caught all three of you here. Koenma needs to see every one, including you Kira", she explained cheerfully.
Yusuke, Kurama and Kira all look at Botan in confusion.
" Why does he need to see my sister? She's not a spirit detective", Yusuke asked with some suspicion.
" You'll see when you get there. Kuwabara and Hiei are already there", she replied, without giving anything away.
Kurama looks at Yusuke, and nods.
" Alright then, lets go", Kurama replied, helping Kira to her feet.
She looks at Kurama with uncertainty and hesitates.
" Are you sure about this?", she asks.
Kurama takes her hand and leads her through the portal that Botan had opened, with Yusuke and Botan not far behind.
With in a few moments, Yusuke, Kurama, Kira and Botan exit the portal, and arrive in Spirit World.
" Come on, we don't want the toddler to have a tantrum", Yusuke piped up.
Kurama keeps a hold of Kira's hand and gives a reassuring squeeze.
They follow her brother and Botan through the giant double doors.
" It's about time you got here, Urameshi!", Kuwabara replied as they entered the room.
Yusuke punches him in response and leaves him on the floor.
" Humans", Hiei remarked from the corner of the room.
" Well now that all of you are, lets get down to business", Koenma spoke up.
" Yeah, what is this all about? Why'd you need my sister here any way?", Yusuke asked with a frown.
Kira sits down on the couch trying not to draw attention to herself, with Yusuke and Kurama on either side of her.
" Botan, will you please show Yusuke the file you found", Koenma instructed the ferry girl.
" Here you are Yusuke. And please don't over react when you read it", she advised him.
Yusuke takes the file and quickly scans it. He has to read it twice to fully comprehend the information.
" This can't be right, can it? There's no way in can be right!", he finally remarked incredulously.
Yusuke hands the file to Kurama who calmly looks over it, but doesn't seem fazed by the information.
" I'm afraid it is true, Yusuke. And from Hiei's and Kurama's expression, they've already been aware of it. Haven't you Kurama, Hiei?", Koenma asked with looks in both their directions.
" Hn", was Hiei's reply.
" Yes, I was", Kurama replied with out looking at either Yusuke or Kira.
Kira looks from Yusuke to Kurama to Koenma in confusion.
" May I ask what the hell is going on?", she finally spoke up.
" Yeah Koenma, what's all this have to do with Urameshi's sister?", Kuwabara asked, also confused.
Yusuke, Kurama, Hiei and Koenma don't say anything for a few moments, each trying to think of how to tell her." Might as well tell her, baka", Hiei finally said to Yusuke.
" Tell me what?!", Kira yelled, starting to get frustrated.
" Alright, I'll tell her", Yusuke finally gave in with a sigh.
" It seems that the reason why you have such strong spiritual powers, is because you're like me, a half demon", he finally told her.
Kira is silent, not knowing how to respond to the news just given to her.
' I think she's in shock', Youko told Kurama.
' I would think you would be right. I don't think she'll be talking to us any time soon after this', Kurama replied.
" Yusuke?", she finally said.
" Yeah?", he replied with uncertainty.
" Can I see that file, please?", she asked quietly.
Yusuke hands his sister the file. Kira takes her time to read over the file on her. She puts the folder down after reading and re-reading her file.
" So, what you're saying Koenma, is that all this time that I've thought that I was just an average human being, I've actually been a half demon?", she finally asked, trying to be calm.
" Yes, that's the extent of it. Do you have any questions?", he replied.
Kira stands up and looks at Kurama, looking calm on the outside, but royally pissed off on the inside.
" And you've known about this the whole time that you've known me?", she asked him.
" Yes, I have", he replied with a nods of his head, looking her straight in the eyes, which were filled with guilt.
" Kira, I would have told you, but it would have put you in danger earlier. I didn't say anything to protect you", he pleaded, putting his hand on her shoulder.
" Don't touch me!", she hissed, shoving his hand away. She turns around and walks towards the double doors.
" Botan, can you get a portal out of here, please?", she calmly asks the ferry girl.
Botan looks back to Koenma who nods his head in acknowledgement.
" Go ahead Botan, she needs some time to take it all in", Koenma replied.
" Wait, Kira!", Yusuke yelled, but stopped when he saw the anger pulsating from his sister.
" Where ya going, Kira?", Kuwabara quietly asked.
" Any where but here, and away from them", she simply stated, walking out the door with Botan.
When the two girls were gone, Yusuke turns to Koenma, anger clearly written on his face.
" Why the hell did you let her leave? There's demon's out there looking for her!", he yelled at the prince.
" I let her go because I didn't want her to get upset to the point where she would use her powers. Remember, her emotions control her powers. I was actually surprised that she was able to control them as she did", he replied.
Yusuke turns to Kurama and glares at him.
" Why the hell didn't you tell me that my sister was a half demon? Why didn't you tell her for that matter?", he asked him angrily.
" Like I already told her, I didn't tell her to protect her. I thought that if she didn't know then other demons wouldn't find out. But obviously they did", he replied a little less calmly.
" Ahem", some one cleared their throat behind them.
" What is it Kuwabara?", Yusuke snapped at him.
" Don't you think that we'd better see if Kira's alright?", he asked them.
" Hn, the idiots right. She's by herself, about to go into the nasty part of town, from what I can see", Hiei put in.
" Then we better get to her before some one else does", Kurama replied grimly.
" Good luck Spirit Detectives. If any evil demon gets their hands on her, we're in trouble", Koenma warned them.
The four detectives nod their heads and head out the double doors through a portal to the bad side of town to find Kira.
" Damn him, how could he keep something like that from me?! I trusted him, and he betrayed me!", Kira rants to the empty streets.
" How can I be a half demon? There's no possible way, I mean I show no signs of even being a half demon. But neither does Yusuke for that matter. But still, why couldn't Kurama just tell me the truth?", she rambles on, not even aware of two figures following her.
Kira walks a few more blocks before she finally realizes she's being followed.
" Well, well, well, what do we have here?", a male voice says from behind her.
" Are you lost, little lady? We could help you find your way home", a second voice replies.
Kira slowly turns around to face two human thugs, both with sly smiles and a evil glint in their eyes.
" What do you two thugs want?", she demanded, trying not to sound scared.
" We just want to show you a good time, that's all", the one on the right replied with a sneer.
" Look, just leave me alone, and no one will get hurt, alright", she told them, backing up preparing to run.
" Now, why would we do that? We can't just leave a lovely lady such as yourself alone in this part of town, it wouldn't be right", his partner replied.
' Oh shit, I'm in trouble. I can't use my spirit energy on them either", she thought. Kira continues to back up until she hit's the wall.
" Damn!", she mutters under her breath.
" How about we have some fun, what do ya say buddy?", the thug on the right asks his partner.
" Yes, lets have some fun", he eagerly agrees.
" Stay away from me! I'm warning you!", she threatens them.
" Or you'll what? Beat us up?", the thug on the left sneers.
" More like my brother will kick your ass! In fact he'll be here any minute", she replied with a smirk.
' I hope', she thought to herself.
The thug on the right comes up to Kira and grabs her roughly by the arm, and pulls her close to his face.
" He'll be too late by the time we're done with you. Now, let's have some fun", he said, throwing her hard to the ground.
' Oh boy, I'm in trouble', she thought with fear in her eyes.
" Hey Hiei, where is she?", Yusuke asked, after walking the dark streets for the last fifteen minutes.
Hiei closes his eyes and uses his Jagan eye to locate Kira. After a few moments he opens his eyes, " I've found her, and she's not alone", he informed them.
" What do you mean "she's not alone"?", Kuwabara asked, not really wanting to know the answer.
' Hey red, I have a bad feeling she's in serious trouble', Youko told Kurama.
' As do I', he replied, his eyes turning gold momentarily.
" Just what it sounds like, idiot. She's being attacked by two street thugs", Hiei replied with a glare.
" We'd better hurry then", Yusuke replied grimly.
They arrive just in time to see the two street thugs kick Kira in the stomach, while she's on her hands and knees.
" You should learn to obey a man when he tells you something, you bitch!", the first thug sneers while kicking her in the ribs.
Kira takes the kick with out making a sound.
' I wont give these bastards the satisfaction of hearing me cry out!', she thought to herself, as she silently screams in pain.
" Get up!", he orders.
Kira looks up at him with a smirk and punches him in the balls.
" Ah! You bitch!", he ground out, dropping to the ground clutching his crotch.
" You'll pay for that, wench!", his partner yelled, coming after Kira with a knife.
Kira had just managed to stand up, and just barely got out of the way as he came after her.
" Missed me", she taunted him.
" Grr! You're dead!", he sneered, swinging the knife at her.
This time, she wasn't fast enough. The knife grazed her across her mid-section, leaving a small gash.
" Ah! You bastard!", she hissed in pain. She backed up, and put her hand to her stomach. She looked down to see that it wasn't that bad, but it still bled pretty good.
" Not that cocky, now are ya? Where's your so called brother? You did say he would be here any minute!", he taunted.
" Get out of the way bro, this bitch is mine!", the first thug snarled as he slowly got up, still clutching his crotch.
" Nobody kicks me in the dick and gets away with it! Now you die!", he yelled pointing a gun at her.
Kira tries to run, but her vision becomes blurry from the pain and blood loss. She closes her eyes, preparing for the gun shot. When nothing happens, she opens her eyes and finds Kurama holding the gum man up by the throat.
" Kur- Kurama?", she whispers.
Kurama looks back at her and she notices his eyes are gold.
" Kira, are you alright?", he asks concerned.
Kira can only nod, while trying not to faint. She looks over to the second attacker and see's Yusuke and Kuwabara beating him.
" Who… are… you?", the one being held by the throat managed to choke out.
" I'm her boyfriend, and your worse nightmare!", Kurama hissed, eyes flashing dangerously. Kurama throws him against the wall alongside his partner who was out cold. He slumps to the ground, also out cold.
Kira watches as the three take care of her attackers, but suddenly feels faint.
" Kira!", Kurama yells out, as he catches her before she hit's the ground.
" Kurama, is she alright?", Yusuke asks as he and Kuwabara join him.
" I can't say for sure, Yusuke. She's hurt pretty bad", he answers noticing the wound on her stomach.
" Come on, lets get her back to your place before we loose her", Yusuke told Kurama.
He nods and picks her up bridal style and heads back to his apartment.
' Hey red, we royally screwed up this time. Our mates hurt because of us', Youko said with remorse.
' She's not our mate, no matter how much we want her to be. Don't worry, she's a half demon, she'll pull through', Kurama replied, trying to sound hopeful.
They arrive back at Kurama's apartment almost an hour later. He manages to stop the bleeding with a healing plant.
" How's she doing?", Kuwabara asked with concern.
" Her pulse is weak, and she's got a couple bruised ribs. Other than that, she should be alright", he replied while putting her down gently on the couch.
" Alright Yusuke, I need you to take her shirt off. Kuwabara, I need you to get some fresh bandages and hot water, we need to clean her wounds", he instructed his two friends.
" Hiei, can you please go to Spirit World and inform Koenma what has happened", he asked turning to Hiei.
" Hn", he replied then disappeared .
Yusuke went to work on cutting Kira's shirt off, while Kuwabara went to retrieve the clean bandages and hot water.
" Alright, I don't know how long this is going to take for her to heal. She's lost a lot of blood and may have some internal bleeding has well", Kurama informed the two detectives.
" Maybe we should have gone to Genkai's instead", Kuwabara suggested.
" She wouldn't have made it, you idiot!", Yusuke yelled at him.
" Please you two, be quiet", Kurama quietly asked.
For the last hour and half, Kurama cleaned and dressed Kira's wounds.
' Man red, she's in bad shape. Do you think she'll make it?', Youko asked, his voice laced with concern.
' She has to, we haven't told her we lover her yet', Kurama answered.
' We shouldn't have let those two bastards live!', Youko replied angrily.
' Yes, I agree. But if we had killed them, then Kira definitely wouldn't have been happy', Kurama answered.
' You're right, this time. But you have noticed she's a fox demon, haven't you?', Youko asked.
' Yes, I have', Kurama replied.
Yusuke and Kuwabara join Kurama at the kitchen table, Yusuke looking over at his sister with concern etched on his face.
" So, how bad was it?", he asked Kurama, while still looking at his sister.
" Surprisingly not that bad. Her knife wound didn't need to be stitched, so I put one of my healing plants over it, then a bandage over that. As for the rest, she's bruised all over her body, especially her ribs, but she's going to be alright", he answered with a sigh.
" Koenma said that you knew that she was a half demon. What kind of demon is she?", Yusuke asked out of curiosity.
" She's a fox demon, like me. She can control plant life much like I can, although she has both spiritual and demonic powers. Which I'm surprised that she can control. When she's in her demon form, she's a B-class, which is very surprising", Kurama explained to the two boys.
The detectives are quiet for a while. Kuwabara and Yusuke trying to take in all the information given to them.
" So if she's a half demon, isn't she suppose to, like heal fast or something?", Kuwabara asked.
Kurama looks over at Kira and sighs, " They generally do. In Kira's case, I don't thinks she will", he replied quietly.
" Why not?!", Yusuke demanded.
" I'm afraid she might have lost the will to live. After discovering what she just discovered about herself and me keeping things from her, she feels betrayed", he answered sadly, looking over at Kira.
Yusuke looks over at his friend with sympathy, " Kurama, she'll be alright and she'll make it through this. My sister's too stubborn to give up. Plus, she still loves you no matter what has happened", he told him truthfully.
" Well if there's nothing else I can do here, I'm going to head home. Let me know if there's anything I can do Urameshi", Kuwabara said, while walking out the door.
" It's getting late, we should get some sleep. Call me the minute she wakes up, okay?", Yusuke told Kurama.
" I will, good night Yusuke", Kurama replied.
He saw Yusuke out the door, then went to make himself comfortable next to the couch Kira was laying on.
" Please Kira, make it through this", he whispered, kissing her forehead.
Meanwhile, back in Spirit World.
" Hiei, it's good to see you", Koenma greeted the fire demon. " How's Kira? Did you find her?", he anxiously asked him.
" Yeah we found her, she was attacked by some humans and was injured. But luckily she'll be alright", Hiei reported.
" Thank you Hiei, keep us updated", Koenma answered and Hiei left back to the Human World.
" She was lucky this time, Botan. Next time she runs into trouble, it could be with demons", he said to Botan, who stood next to him.
" Don't worry sir, she can handle it. She still has her training with Master Genkai and even the boys will her help her. After all, Kurama is a fox demon as well!", Botan assured Koenma.
" Koenma looks at Botan and then gets back to his paper work.
