Yami massaged her temples as Kuwabara and Yusuke screamed at each other, another fight done and won. Finally, she stood up, lowering the temperature of the room,
"I'm going for a walk," she grit out, storming out into the hall, making sure to slam the door behind her. Letting out a sigh of relief, she closed her eyes, leaning against the wall. The relief was quickly replaced with annoyance when a claw poked her forehead, "What?" she snapped, her eyes shooting open. Jin flinched back, holding his hands up,
"Sorry lassie, didn't mean to catch yah at a bad time." Yami immediately felt bad,
"It's okay," she sighed, running a hand through her hair, "I shouldn't have been so harsh, so I'm sorry as well." Jin perked up,
"See? Everything's okay!" he frowned when he saw how tired Yami looked, "Lass? Have yah been getting any sleep?" She cringed, offering a weak smile,
"Yes?"
"Lass," Jin scolded, "you need to sleep!" Yami frowned,
"I can't, my team has been fighting almost nonstop, and I can't just leave them." The windmaster shook his head,
"Sleep, lass." Yami glared stubbornly at him, her cheeks puffing slightly as she clenched her fists,
"No." Jin chuckled,
"I'm sorry lass, but you look so cute like that." Yami flushed, a small squeak escaping her lips as Jin grabbed her legs, lifting her up bridal style before walking away. She tried to fight without hurting him, but soon gave up, seeing that it was pointless.
"Where are we going?" she asked after a minute of riding in the elevator. Jin grinned down at her, not saying a word as the doors opened, a few people looking at them oddly as they walked out, taking a few turns through the halls before they arrived at a door. Setting her down, Jin unlocked the door, walking in,
"Toy, I brought Yami over," he called, said girl following behind. Touya looked up from his book, a thin eyebrow raised,
"Just don't be loud," he rolled his eyes. Jin flushed,
"Not for that Toy!" he yelped. This seemed to get the shinobi's attention,
"Oh? My apologies then. Nice to see you again Yami." Yami waved, looking up at Jin,
"Okay, one, what was he talking about? And two, what are we doing here?"
"No, to the first, and we're here so you can drink some of my special drinks!" Jin beamed. Yami blinked,
"Special… drinks?" Jin nodded as Touya groaned,
"Jin, don't kill your friend, its only been a week." Jin stuck out his tongue before turning back to Yami,
"If you drink it you'll be wide awake for at least three days!" Yami eyed him warily,
"What is it?" Jin grinned,
"That's a secret lass!" The small girl sighed,
"Fine. I'll try it…"
"Yes! I'll be right back!" With that he ran into what she assumed was the kitchen. Touya shook his head,
"Yamishiro… I wouldn't drink that…" She frowned,
"Why?" Before he could say anything, Jin waltzed back in, a proud smile on his face and a glass in his hand. Yami stared at it in disturbed curiosity; it was an odd purple-ish blue, and smelled like nothing she'd ever come across before. Taking it from his outstretched hand, she paused,
'Give me strength, master Yin…' she prayed siently before taking a large gulp. Clenching her eyes shut, she was pleasantly surprised when she tasted flowers with a little bit of lemon.
"This isn't so ba-" she was cut off, throwing her hand to her mouth, she ran to where Jin was just a few moments ago, finding a sink to empty out her stomach in. Jin rushed in as she vomited,
"Lass, are yah okay? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make yah sick!" he panicked around her as Touya rolled his eyes from his place in the living room, walking out to find Kurama.
"W-What was in that?" Yami gagged before shaking her head, "Never mind, I don't think I'd want to know," she paused, dryheaving into the sink as Jin held her hair back.
"I'm sorry lassie," he apologized again, his ears back. Yami gave him a weak smile,
"I-It's okay Jin," she waved him off as Touya walked in, Kurama and Yukina in tow, Yusuke and Kuwabara pushing to the front to see her.
"You look like crap, Yami," the detective grinned, looking at her pale, sweaty face. She zapped his foot with a tiny icicle, grinning when he yelped. Yukina stepped forwards,
"Miss Yami, are you alright?" she asked worriedly, a small frown on her face. Yami was about to reply, but turned last minute, gagging into the sink. Jin rubbed soothing circles on her back as Kurama walked over,
"What happened?"
"She said that she wasn't really sleeping, so I gave her a drink that'll keep her awake," Jin mumbled guiltily. Kurama smiled slightly, shaking his head as Touya handed him the glass. Sniffing it, he deadpanned,
"You gave her demon berries?" he asked, an eyebrow raised. Yami groaned as Jin nodded.
"Wait, what's so bad about those?" Kuwabara asked, looking to the redhead. Kurama sighed,
"Ice maidens live off of ice and snow and are incredibly against these berries, which are much like a super caffeinated juice. Yami is having a bad reaction to them, seeing as she is an ice maiden. They are incredibly potent to the maidens and will cause almost identical symptoms to that of a hangover."
"Why doesn't anyone else have a bad reaction to them then?" Yami mumbled. Kurama chuckled,
"They are mostly used to stay awake on hunts and raids, seeing as Jin is a shinobi; it makes sense that he'd be fine." Jin frowned, turning to Yami again,
"I didn't know it'd be this bad, lass," he whimpered. Yami smiled at him,
"'S fine." She rubbed her temples, "But I think I need a shower and a nap." Jin scooped her up, earning a squeal,
"I'll make it up to yah then, lass!" Everyone watched as he bolted out of the room, snagging a small trashcan on the way, and into the hall. Touya shook his head in amusement,
"He must really like her," he stated, "believe it or not, Jin isn't too friendly with other demons." Yusuke laughed,
"Well it's hard not to love her," he grinned, "she's full of surprises." Kurama remained silent, listening with slightly narrowed eyes,
'Full of surprises indeed,' he agreed, 'let's see if we can figure out all of those 'surprises' Miss Yamishiro…'
Bonjour everyone! Here is some slight!fluff, but more is on the way!
Kurama needs to keep his foxy nose out of everything, no? ;)
