InuYasha Fan Fiction / Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Forbidden Pain ❯ Chapter 4

Yo! Thank you for the reviews! Makes sense. Anyways, here's the next installment, and if I forgot to say it last time, which I probably did, I don't own these characters and stuff. Give me some input and see what happens!

 

 

 

Kurama was knocked aside as the bear youkai charged at him again. Yusuke shot another spirit gun pushing it aside as Hiei ripped the tree root out of his leg. Another bear youkai ran past and Kurama speared it on his side as it ran over a short stump of bamboo he grew not hindering it as it charged him again. Hiei jumped out of the way of the fourth one, his speed gone from the major wound to his leg. Yusuke and Kurama were here, he couldn't use any of his real attacks. Kurama's plants were all but rendered useless. Poison some how didn't effect them and their skin was tougher than the thorns or blades he could make. Only the under belly was an area workable, and it would take time to impact great wounds. He had killed the fifth with his death tree and was a bit weak from using so much energy. Hiei was knocked into a tree as he took out the eye of the second bear shouting.

“You fool hit them in the eye with your spirit gun!”

“Like I haven't been trying they keep moving and I can't condense my energy into a tiny ass size! Hits the entire head!”

Kurama speared two more through the sides with bamboos shoots as they charged at him knocking him down again. One stood on top of his legs almost crushing them when an ice arrow hit the bear to his left in the eye causing him to roar. A second, longer and thicker one was fired on the one on top of Kurama going through his ear killing it. Kurama stood but only able to walk, and not very far and made five bamboo shoots go through the under belly of the one with only one eye giving Kagome time to make a larger arrow and fire it into -

Into the bear demon's leg as the first one charged the tree she was in knocking her down. Kagome stood and was swiped down by a bear paw feeling her left arm snap. She bit through her lip quickly getting up hearing the bamboo break and threw a fire ball under the bear causing him to shout. Having his belly exposed Hiei jumped jamming his sword into his belly as Kurama held two of its legs down with vines allowing Hiei to gut it. Kagome avoided the bear behind her throwing an ice javelin into the bear near Yusuke's leg and doing so again twice more giving him just enough time to fire a spirit gun into both of its eyes as Kagome was hit down bouncing through a tree, got up and continued throwing fire at the bear that would not die until Hiei joined in giving her time to throw two javelins since her aim was poor with one arm killing it. Burning up all of the bear demon they moved to an area clear of blood and treated their wounds.

Kagome went to a separate stream away from the others and basically jumped in, let it wash over her then out. She managed to wrap something around her left oozing leg but let her arms go. As she walked back Yusuke saw her struggling to take an old wrap off around her left arm.

“Nice to see you back.”

Hiei spoke. “Don't congratulate her, she needs to work on her aim.”

Kagome spoke. “My left arm is broken.”

“Hn. Should know how to do so with both arms.”

“My right arm is fractured.” She walked off. “Not an excuse.”

“Real smooth Hiei.”

Kagome went putting Tetsigua back on her side and sat under a tree letting her arms go. She saw Kurama approach her and sit next to her taking care of her arms, knowing she would refuse if he asked her.

“I've never seen an ice creature make a bow and arrow from ice. How did you make the string.”

“I had to make the string each time, after letting go it breaks.”

Kurama lifted her arm up hearing her growl at him. “Sorry. This is a nasty break you have here and are lucky the other arm is only fractured. They should be fine within a few days, but if you say the Western lands are as dangerous as you make them out to be, perhaps we won't venture into them until we are all healed.”

“Smart.”

Kurama tightly bound both arms sealing them with makai plants. “Finished. You have a good habits of coming back at the right times.”

“You would've lived without me.”

“Not as well off as we are now.”

It was quite for a while and Kagome's curiosity, something she had to get rid of as well, got the best of her. “Are you a ningen or a youkai.”

Kurama smiled. “I'm a ningen and a youkai.”

Kagome turned towards him. “How.”

“My kitsune side was near death years ago and fled into my body before I was born. He, Yoko Kurama, eventually formed himself a body inside of me. My ningen name is Shuichi Minamono.” He smiled at her finished treating her. “How could you tell? Most people just figure weirdness for a lack of a better word.”

“You don't act like a ningen whereas the other one does.”

`Don't you dare Yoko-`

`And why not might I ask? I would be foolish to do nothing, beside, you are all injured, I am not. Give into logic.'

Kurama sighed. “He will most likely be here in my place while I recover because he is the only one who is not injured.”

Kagome didn't show how confused she was. “Keh.”

Yoko came out a few minutes later. “A pleasure to meet you Kagome.”

Kagome turned towards him some, then back to ahead eyes closed. “Keh. What do you care.”

“I care because you are my ningen parts mission, and the quicker this is over with,” Yoko brushed a strand of hair from her face. “the quicker I can have my time with this body since I refuse to do Rekai work.”

“You're the first one here to be honest with me.”

Yoko smiled. “But of course. We kitsune may be tricksters known to some, but in the end, always honesty.”

“Very true.”

“And how might you know that I am not lying to you now Kagome? You hardly know me.”

“I knew a kitsune once a few years back so even if he wasn't the same type as you, I'm used to how you work. Since you're obviously older don't you have your present/past self here now.”

“I was in China at the time, wonderful tale of treasure I had to see for myself, true or not.”

“You're a thief.”

“I was a thief. I haven't been able to do anything for, eighteen years five months nine hours, five minutes.”

“You don't have the time that precise.”

“True, but it has been a while. Why? Have something against thieves.”

“No, but I tend not to trust them unless they give me a reason to.”

“As I already have by being honest with you.”

“True.”

“So then what? Sleepy already or is this past your bed time?”

“You are bold.”

Yoko smiled. “I am a kitsune.”

“You should give your ningen part some of you intelligence.”

“He's not your favorite? I'm slightly hurt. Is it because you rutted with Hiei those days ago after you first woke up?”

“I did not rut with the fire youkai kitsune.”

“Then why may I ask? I know he's not the charmer, but he does have his own charm, and is at least nice to look at.”

“Keh.”

“Not going to say, then may I ask who is your favorite.”

“Since you will be gone in a matter of days then Yusuke. He asks a question and quits when he gets no response. He lacks intelligence in many areas but in others has much more than the other two.”

“So Shuichi is your least favorite. Of Hiei?”

“I made a mistake and know not to trust him at all any more, and for your perverted mind I am not attracted to the hi youkai in any way.”

Yoko smirked. “Just curious.”

In the morning the two left from their half sleep and separately hunted on their own. Yoko found her under another tree when finished hunting noticing why she was as far out as she was.

“Since we are not going to be venturing any further so as not to get in the way of Sesshomaru sama, shall we?”

Kagome staid sitting. “How do you know of Sesshomaru sama's reputation.”

“I was here before and after I was in China little Kagome.” He walked off. “You should have thought that one through.”

Kagome followed. “Where are you going.”

“I left the mainly ningen and the `hi' youkai a message. I'm just curious to see what of my possessions I have at this time and if I remember how to safe guard them. I won't be back from China for another ten years or so, was over there for about thirty years. So I never met you then.” They walked in silence for a half of a day until Yoko pushed aside a crate letting his energy go through the plants putting them back down to manageable smaller sizes. “We are here.”

Kagome looked inside after Yoko disabled all of his security to see mounds of gold, rolls of silk, silver, a small jade statue. “This would be common for you.”

“Very wise Kagome. Come.” He led her towards the jade stature taking off its finger inserting it into a specific gold coin as a trap door opened. They went inside seeing all things of value. “This is one of my smaller store areas.”

Kagome looked around, impressive. “Kitsunes are arrogant.”

He smiled. “Very true. Help yourself to anything you'd like, not like myself then will know for quiet some time.”

Kagome took a small dagger discreetly placing it under her clothing. “Thanks.”

“You're most welcome Kagome. You should know whatever Hiei messed up on he isn't a bad youkai, most of the time.”

“Exactly. I don't care though. Why are you telling me this.”

“Oh, incase he ever decided to bed with you there wouldn't-“

“-Yoko.”

He smirked. “Shall we leave then?”

Yoko led them the long way back and after four days found themselves back with Yusuke and Hiei who both gave him a look.

“Why do you look so surprised to see me.”

Yusuke spoke. “Because the note said Kurama and you know we're used to calling Shuichi Kurama.”

“But that isn't his name now is it?”

Hiei gave him a look. “Let's just go.”

Yoko staid back with Hiei and thought to him. `You know you like her, why don't you do something correct, ne?'

`Why don't you do something correct and change back?'

`Shuichi is still injured and you know you prefer me over the ningen. She told me she doesn't trust you anymore, meaning you had her trust and now you don't. I thought I taught you to be less reckless.'

`I don't know what you're talking about the onna has issues.'

`You've been in Ningenkai too long Hiei.'

`Hn. Agreed. But if I did have her trust I didn't do a thing to make her not trust me.' He gave him a look. `Why does she trust you?'

Yoko smirked. `Trade secrete.'

`If you fucked her while she couldn't even lift a dog over her head I'll kill you. Didn't think rape was in your taste.'

`Rape, even thinking the word shows how uncouth you are Hiei. I didn't touch the girl involving sex. I was just honest with her.'

`Right.'

`I am just trying to warn you Hiei. As well, you should know, you took to your defense in doing something correct, but said nothing about you liking her.'

Hiei stopped in his tracks allowing Yoko to walk on making the second mistake. His stop confirmed what he himself didn't want to know and what he didn't want Yoko to know. He took to the trees and vanished as Yusuke spoke to Yoko.

“What's with him.”

“Perhaps PMS.”
