Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Elemental ❯ Blind Game Again ( Chapter 14 )

Elemental

A/N: Back for number fourteen of Elemental. Excited yet? No? Well, you should be! Anyways, I'm bored and my mind is blank with fun notes.

Quote: "Blind Game again//kanari kireteru Doll//itsuma demo//kawaranai yoru o buchikowase." That is a song called Blind Game Again by Nittle Grasper from Gravitation. Here are the English translations: "Blind Game Again//Quite a worn-out crumpled doll//Shatter the eternally-unchanging nights." In this chapter, it's an age old poem.

Okay, I don't own YuYu or Tohru, but the way she lives her life is totally OOC, so you will only know her by her name her crazy raves about living with a cursed family. Yeah, crazy, huh? I do, however, own the sisters and their dragons, along with some minor characters that probably aren't important enough to have names and have a certain place in my heart.

Chapter 14 - Blind Game Again

Kuwabara just about punched the wall. "Are you sure? You said all that?"

Shigeru nodded ashamedly. "I honestly didn't know that she was out to kill me, or any of us. She acted like a nice woman who was acting like my mother in my dreams."

He grabbed his hair.

"She also told me she's my conscience."

"What kind of crazy bitch says that?" Kuwabara asked. Shigeru noted that he was asking himself, but she couldn't help but feel obliged to answer.

"Isn't it bad enough that I believed her?"

Kuwabara looked up at the young girl in her bed. Did she just ask him a question with attitude? Not a good attitude, but a mere angry and annoyed attitude.

"What? I'm not blaming you, if that's what you're thinking - I'm blaming her for taking advantage of you when you were clearly not able to think straight."

Okay, now he was getting her angry. How dare him! He was treating her like some helpless child who couldn't take care of herself! He didn't know that she was just as capable of thinking straight while asleep! He was implying that she was dumb minded. There was no way she thought like that. Was it her fault that she was an orphan twelve year old who witnessed her parents die, and begged for a mother's love? Crystal and her other older sisters were motherly to her, but she was, generally speaking, the youngest, and was in need of a mother more than even Lafiel.

Shigeru's cheeks burned red, and she looked away from him. He didn't fail to notice this, but he kept silent about it. Instead, he looked at the digital clock next to her bed, and noted the time. Lafiel would be returning soon, probably demanding some peace and quiet to sleep, as will Shigeru.

"I should be leaving." Kuwabara stood up, nodded at her, and headed out the door. He stopped, looked at her, bid her good night, and, when she didn't respond to him, he left, shutting the door softly behind him.

He wondered what he had said that could cause her to be like that all of a sudden.

He walked in his room, leaned on the door, and sighed. What a night. What a day!

He walked to his bed, suddenly overcome with exhaustion, kicking his shoes off as he walked. He fell forward, and closed his eyes, about to let sleep overtake him, when his light suddenly went on.

He picked up his head, and saw her…what was her name? Tohru? Well, she was sitting on his bed right next to him.

He growled, and stood up off the bed, prepared to fight her, sleep long forgotten.

"What are you doing in here? You should know better. You know I will tear you apart!"

Tohru smiled, and stood up as well. "Of course I know that," she said. She wiped her hair behind her shoulders before continuing. "However, I also know that, because I'm a woman, you feel very uncomfortable to fight me." She sat back on his bed. "So I'm willing to oblige your wishes, and I'll just sit here and tell you why I'm here."

"Make it quick," he growled. "I don't care if you are a woman; you sent me flying through the wall! I'm going to get you back for that!"

She smirked, taking a cigarette from her black coat pocket, and brought it up to her lips. Now that she was in the light, he could see her much better. Her green eyes, her pale skin, her rouge lips, her long brown hair, her skinny body…She looked like a class `A' geisha, was it not for her cloths. Her black shirt clung to her body, making her skinniness relevant. She wore a long black coat that ran down to her feet, which were covered by black boots, were shown from under her long black pants. She lit her cigarette.

"I came here to erase your memory. Happy?" She smirked as she blew a puff of white smoke from her mouth and nostrils.

"Why are you telling me that?" His posture relaxed a little, his confusion obvious on his face.

"Because you wanted me to, didn't you?" She smirked wider as she took another drag.

"I didn't want you to erase my memory!"

"I wasn't talking about that. I said you wanted me to tell you what I was doing here. Well, as soon as I've finished my cigarette, I'm going steal your memory of ever meeting me. It's only for my safety." She put out her cigarette on the wooden bedside table, and stood up, sauntering over to him. "Don't worry, it'll only hurt a little bit; in fact, I think you will rather enjoy it."

Shizuo sighed as a knock was heard pounding on her door. She leaned into Hiei's kisses, wanting to cloud out the horrible noise the pounding was making.

Hiei ran his mouth over her neck, loving the warmth she put off on him, careful to avoid her necklace. He had come an inch and a half in radius from it, and his skin became hotter than he had ever felt fire to feel. He wrapped his arms around her, oblivious to the pounding, thinking that Shizuo's sigh was caused by him.

"SHIZUO!" came Mimiru's voice. She pounded again. If anything, Mimiru wanted to protect Shizuo from another Caton experience. No one knew of what had happened; in fact, Mimiru wasn't supposed to know, but she did, and she feared for Shizuo's sanity.

Shizuo groaned as the pounding continued. "Go away!" she yelled.

"I can't! This is important!"

Hiei looked at Shizuo, confused as to who she was talking to. Remember, he was absorbed in her neck and warmth.

"Is it so important that I might die if I don't know what it is?"

"Well, I don't think it's that serious…but it's pretty serious regardless!"

Hiei looked at the door, finally understanding who Shizuo was talking to…Thank the gods she wasn't talking to herself!

Shizuo sighed and stood. "I'll be right back," she mumbled to him as she made her way to the door.

She opened the door, and stuck her head out, glaring at Mimiru, Shizuo's hair frizzy, her eyes wild, and a dark red spot on her neck.

Mimiru gaped. "Is that…a hickey?"

Her older sister growled, and came fully out of the room, slamming the door behind her. "What?"

"I want you to be careful."

Shizuo gaped at Mimiru. "What?"

"I want you to -"

"You drag me away from Hiei just to tell me to be careful?"

"That's only part of it. Aren't you at all curious as to why I want you to be careful?"

"No damn way!"

"Because Yusuke told me something about Hiei." Her voice became softer so she was sure only Shizuo could hear her. "I know what happened with Caton. Do you want another one of those incidents?"

Shizuo's eyes grew twice their proper size as she stared down at Mimiru. "How did you find out about that?"

"It was an accident, and believe me; no one should have been hurt like that! Do you understand what I'm telling you? Don't get hurt like that again!"

"What makes you think Hiei would hurt me like that?"

"Because of what Yusuke told me! Are you not listening to me? He told me that Hiei is a player. Remember what that is? Remember Caton?"

"One, Caton was not a player, he just found the true woman of his dreams. I was only his back up until he found one." Her voice was well disguised, but Mimiru could hear a sliver of regret. "Two, why would you trust Yusuke? What makes you certain that Yusuke is telling the truth?"

"Yusuke just doesn't seem like the type of person who would lie."

"I'm going to bed. Good night." Shizuo went back into her room, and Mimiru knew that the conversation had been forgotten in the older sister's mind.

Mimiru sighed, and decided that, well, she tried. It really was getting late, it was time to sleep.

Shizuo walked back to the bed, and sat down, hardly acknowledging Hiei's return to attending her.

"What's wrong?" he asked, sucking on her neck once more.

She looked at him. What if Mimiru was right? What if Hiei would hurt her like Caton did?

"If you're into poetry as much as I am, then the only thing that would matter in your soul mate would be whether or not he knew `Blind Game Again."

"'Blind Game Again', Caton?"

"Yes. It's a medieval poem about two people having trouble with their relationship... I don't know why it would be good thing for your soul mate to know it, that's what my mother told me, and what her father told her, and his mother, and her father…for some reason, it was always the opposite gender who told them of the poem. So, now I'm telling you. Don't ever believe someone is your soul mate unless they know `Blind Game Again."

~~*~~

"Hiei, how well do you know poetry?"

"I'm not fond of it, but I know a lot of poetry. Why?"

"Recite `Blind Game Again'. Do you know it?"

"Why do you want me to recite it for you?"

"Why can't you just do it?"

Hiei looked taken aback. Why was she demanding this of him so suddenly? What ever happened to "Oh, Hiei!" Why can't she just go back to the way they were earlier in the day?

"What do you want?"

"The third verse. All of it."

She sounded so demanding, and so desperate for him to answer her. All he wanted right now was to hold her body in his arms, and absorb her warmth. Besides, he didn't know `Blind Game Again'.

He strained his mind. What was she playing at? What, if he didn't know the stupid poem would she leave him? Never, she wouldn't leave him, he wouldn't let her. Her body heat was too erotic for him to just give her up for some stupid poem.

Then, it hit him, like a wave on the sand. He didn't know how it happened, but it did. He didn't know where it came from, but it did. He didn't even know the stupid poem!

"Don't let me down itsumo kobiterru dake//Cry for the sun nani mo mie yashinai//jibu no nake de dare ga sakebu?"

Seriously, where did it come from? He hadn't even heard of the poem. Well, it seemed to have worked, because she looked relieved and happy, and allowed him to continue working on her neck.

Tohru smirked as the unconscious body of Kuwabara fell on the bed. He was so easy! She thought he would put up more of a fight. Oh well, men will be men, no matter how much they sided with Koenma.

She smirked, and placed another kiss on his lips, and sauntered out of the room.

Her memory erasing technique was simple. All she had to do was get the person to warm up to her, and allow her to explore their mind. Kuwabara was easy, because he was a man, and he had needs too. Such a shame that he struggled; she thought it would have been more fun if he did it willingly, and so she didn't have to use her tiring magic to bind him. That's mostly why she wished she waited until she was sure he was fully asleep, instead of jumping out at him like she planned for him to be awake.

She made her way down the walkway, until she came to a near empty room; she smirked as she noted her next victim. All alone and no sister to help her this time. Where was Lafiel anyway? She was the one who Tohru had to concentrate on. However, there are more people who know about her now, so more work will have to be done.

She entered the room, and made her way to the little twelve year old, still drained from earlier that day. This was good; it made her work a whole lot easier.

Tohru placed her hand on Shigeru's forehead, and concentrated, once more trespassing into her mind.

"Who are you?" a faint voice asked.

"Don't you recognize me?" she asked the child with a motherly voice.

"No, but I remember your voice. Who are you?"

"It pains me. I am your mother."

"Momma?"

"Yes. Listen, dear. Remember that woman, Tohru? Well, I want you to forget you met her, or even heard her voice or anything about her, but her name. You will forget all but her name, okay?"

"Why?"

"I want you to be safe. It will be easier for her not to find you if you don't remember."

"Okay, I'll forget."

"Good girl."

And, to make sure the memory of Tohru didn't slip, she found Shigeru's memories of her, and took them into her own body, making sure that Shigeru didn't even remember a strand of hair of Tohru.

Completely satisfied, Tohru pulled out of the little girl's mind, and moved to the door. Now that two people had been taken care of, might as well not stop until they were all clueless about her.

A/N: Translation: "Don't let me down you're always just flirting//cry for the sun I can't see anything at all// who is it that's screaming inside me?"

Okay, you'll have to wait for the next chapter to live through what happened with Caton. Oooo, won't that be fun? Well, that's all for this chapter, I look forward to any and all reviews!
