Chapter 9

Yukina, Genkai, and Koenma?

 

“Hey Kurama,” Kanna said, “I was wondering something.” Kurama turned his head to acknowledge her as Yusuke, Kuwabara, and he kept walking the other two half listening.

“Like what,” asked the Kitsune. The day Kanna had come back from her second day of school she had discovered why the boy's ki seemed so familiar; it was that of a Kitsune. It had clicked in her head when she saw a small fox run out from the bushes and get hit by a car. She had felt her eyes moisten as she thought of Shippo and a small tear had escaped her eye. Kurama though, his eyes had widened and she saw the sorrow that filled them, but moments latter it was gone.

“Do you believe in youkai?” at this question the entire group stopped and she saw everyone's head turn and look straight at her.

“Why do you ask?” he said this mighty slowly and Kanna had the sudden urge to jump behind Yusuke and hide from all of the stares, they were as hard as her last father's were.

“I saw a book in your room about the different types of Youkai.” She said really fast.

“I see, no I'm sorry but I don't I just like the legends.”

“Really, you seemed almost fascinated by the Kitsune thief Youko Kurama from what I could tell.” Kanna said slyly. At this she noticed the blush that spread upon his face and began to laugh wither friends at the way he looked like a red haired cherry.

“So guys, exactly where are we going?” Kanna asked as she saw them stop in front of what appeared to be a shrine with a heck of a lot of stairs.

“You'll se in a moment,” Yusuke replied as we began climbing all the stairs. As the group was walking Kanna began to feel energy coming out off what ever was beyond the stairs. Climbing farther up she began to straighten as she felt the power grow stronger and stronger. She knew that whatever held this energy had masked it, but she had learned over the time with her old friends how to become aware of energy well masked.

“We're here,” was Kanna's only warning before an old lady was coming straight at Yusuke and the two were in an exceedingly fast fight.

Kagome felt herself back into Kurama as her eyes widened and she moved backwards. He placed a hand on her shoulder and helped her inside.

“Are you okay?” He asked as her starred worry fully in her eyes.

“Yeah I'm fine. It's just I never knew Yusuke could move that fast.”

“It's okay, but maybe you should rest, you're awfully pale.”

“Sure” came her reply as he led her to a couch where he sat right next to her.

“Would you like some tea?” came a soft voice from behind the two. Jumping slightly from the noise Kanna spun her head to see a girl with long foam green hair pulled back into a high pony tail. She had serene red eyes that somehow reminded her of her father. She knew the moment she saw the girl that they would become fast friends and that she was a youkai, Ice to be exact.

“No thank you,” Kanna replied kindly, “my name's Kanna, what's yours?”

“I'm Yukina, and I'm sorry I scared you, I didn't mean to.”

“It's okay.” Thus began a great friendship.

A few minutes later Kuwabara, Yusuke, and the old lady now recognized as Genkai entered the room to find Kanna and Yukina chatting like old friends and Kurama just looking amusedly at them.

“Hey Kanna you okay, you didn't look to good when you left.” However Yusuke's voice went unnoticed by the two girls who were talking a mile a minute and sounded to everyone except Kurama and Genkai like squirrels on caffeine.

The group stayed over at Genkai's place until dark when they started back home. Hugging her knew friend goodbye as well as Genkai she said goodbye while walking home with Kuwabara. However as the two were walking home they passed a public library and she felt a demonic presence, telling her friend she was going to checkout a book at the library for a research project she headed off towards where she felt the youkai was.

Kanna reached the area in a matter of minutes and found two weak demons talking together behind a bookshelf.

“Have you heard that fool Jakoni got caught by the Rekai Tantei?” asked a voice.

“Yeah I heard he tried to mess with some ningen and got his butt kicked.” Said the second voice.

“Stupid Jakoni, he should have gone back through the barrier when he was done.”

“Idiot, oh well, hey did you hear about that knew law Koenma made.”

“Koenma, as in the one who runs the spirit world?”

“No your mother, of course the one who runs the spirit world, how many Koenma's do you know?”

“Well there is the one who is in charge of the Rekai Tantei.”

“Dim wit, they're the same person.”

“Oh.”

Sneaking away slowly Kanna stealthily got out of the area unseen. Looking back with one final glance, she headed home. When she did arrive she found Kuwabara unconscious on his bed and Shizuru sitting outside smoking. Shaking her head slightly she went to bed, planning on going to see this Koenma person in the morning to learn about some things she had been wondering.

********************************Morning************************** *******

Getting up quickly Kanna began to prepare breakfast for the two people she prepared family. Eating rapidly she opened the door and began to walk towards the library when she collided with a firm chest. She watched in fascination as the world around her began to spin as the sky was all she saw. Preparing her self for the impact, she felt two strong arms wrap around her waste catching her from her fall.

Looking up into the eyes of her savior she was shocked to see it was Yusuke.

“You should watch where you're going Kanna.” He said with an arrogant smirk plastered on his face.

“You should have moved.” Came his only reply before Kanna was out of his arms and walking towards the library.

Yusuke could only stare in shock as Kanna disappeared in a crowd of people.

 

“Hey sweetheart, how bout a kiss?” asked a thug that had just pulled Kanna into a dark alley.

“How bout not,” was his only reply before him and his entire gang were knocked out in a matter of seconds.

“I'm getting slow,” thought Kanna as she walked to the end of the alley. It was a dead end.

“Well I do believe this will work perfectly,” she thought before concentrating her powers and creating a portal that would take her to Rekai. Stepping into the portal she felt her outfit change into that of a cloak as she walked and used some of her energy to conceal her smell as well as all of her energy and ki.

Slipping into the shadows Kanna watched as a toddler began to yell at a blue ogre.

“Where's my lunch?” came the toddlers whinny reply.

“Well you see Koenma Sir, I couldn't help it, I was so hungry and everything. Please forgive me Koenma Sir.”

“Well I see I have no choice, you shall be given one hundred spankings.”

“Koenma Sir, please reconsider, I promise I'll look at the folder again.”

“It's to late be gone blue ogre.” And with that the blue ogre left sadly through the doors. Kanna merely looked at the child in amusement before saying in a husky voice, “That was amusing.”

Kanna could have sworn the kid jumped three feet in the air when he heard her voice.

“Whhwwhoo, who are you?” the child stuttered.

“My name is of no concern to you; I have come to find information assuming that is that you are Koenma.” She said as she stepped out of the shadows. Looking down at the child sitting in front of the desk she smiled viciously.

“I am Koenma, what do you want?”

“I come seeking to help you, I have heard many a things from you and I wish only to protect those I love by helping rid Nigenkai of youkai scum.”

“Why should I believe you,” he asked ignorantly. She smiled wickedly before allowing her barriers to drop and him to fell some of her miko powers. He palled instantly.

“I see, we would be delighted to have you join us,” he said shakily, “I'll call the others right now if you wished.”

“No,” she said sharply, “this is how you may contact me, I might not always be visible, but I'll always be their.” Handing the child the watch she turned around and in a flash was gone. Leaving in her wake a young prince with a note stating clearly not to abuse the power given or he might have a population more people in Rekai. Gulping loudly the young prince went back to stamping his paper work except this time his hands shook nervously as he did.

Many weeks past and Kanna went to every fight hiding within the shadows; she was unable to see or hear the Rekai from where she stayed, but she was able to read their Ki so she could come to their rescue at any given time, so far they didn't need it. Every time she went to a fight she recognized the aurora from somewhere, but she couldn't tell exactly where.

“Why does it feel so familiar,” she thought as she listened to her friends talk to each other. “It's almost as though I've known them one of them all my life.” However her ponderings were cut short as she felt the communicator go off in her pocket. “Time to go I guess,” she thought as she quickly slipped away unnoticed by her friends; well almost all, a pair of chocolate eyes followed her retreating form suspiciously before a blue haired woman popped out of the sky next to him causing him to fall over in surprise.
