Chapter 5

 

Kurama jumped out of the way just as the vines rose from the ground. So, she's half kitsune.

 

Yes, but what is the other half?

 

We'll just have to wait and see.

 

He looked to Hiei, who was hacking away at the vines as fast as his tangled limbs would allow. Each time a thorn slid into his skin, he let out an involuntary grunt of pain. The poison felt like liquid fire. Every part of his body was burning from the inside out. And it hurt like hell.

Kurama went to help his comrade, only to be met with a sword in his face. He jumped back as the sword swung down. Keisu stepped back and rested one of his blades on his shoulder.

 

"You're faster than you look, Pretty Boy. Even without transforming," he said.

 

"How did you know I could transform?" Kurama was curious. He had much of his power cloaked.

 

"You need a lesson in cloaking your energy. I can feel it all. You're strong, but you don't stand a chance."

 

"Hey, Fox Boy! Heads up!"

 

Keisu looked up, only to see an orange-colored pole-like object coming down. At the last second, he jumped out of the way.

 

"Darn, I thought I had him," Kuwabara said, landing and holding his Spirit Sword out in front of him.

 

"You would have if you hadn't yelled, Baka," Yusuke said.

 

They all heard a loud hissing sound and looked over at Hiei.

 

"Very clever. You found the heart of my Poisoned Ivy, though how you were able to thrust your sword that deeply, I do not know," Saiyu praised from her perch on a low tree branch.

 

Hiei quickly made his way back to the group, weaving slightly from the paralyzing toxins in his body. Keisu walked up to his sister, seeming to forget he was in the middle of a battle and had just turned his back to his opponents.

 

"I can't believe you! What if Ugly over there had actually hurt me, or worse killed me, while you're up there relaxing on a tree branch!" he screamed, furious.

 

"Hey, who you callin' ugly!" Kuwabara stepped forward, one leg in front and a fist shaking.

 

The two Youkos ignored him. "Calm down, Keisu. If you had been killed, he would have died an extremely painful death a second afterward," she said, jumping down and waving her hand dismissively.

 

Keisu's eye twitched. She looked at him curiously, then reached into her hair, pulled out a seed, and put it in his hand.

 

"This will help with that," she smirked.

 

His eye twitched again. "That's it! You're dead, Saiyu!" He jumped on her back and tackled her to the ground. He sat on her back with a cocky grin on his face, thinking he had won. Oh, how wrong he was.

 

Saiyu kicked out her legs, sending him flying head first over her own. Keisu had to change to his fox form to avoid breaking his neck. He landed on his feet, turned to her, and growled in irritation.

 

Saiyu's eyes lit up. "Oh! You transformed! You are so kawaii when you change to your natural red fox form!" She picked him up and cuddled him to her chest, accidentally cutting off his air. "Oh, my wittle bwoder is such a cutie. Yes, he is. Yes, he is!"

 

Saiyu. . .no. . .air. . . he told her telepathically.

 

She dropped him and he transformed back into his humanoid body. "Eheh, I am sorry."

Saiyu was a little out of character, but c'mon, it's her brother. She HAS to torture the poor guy, it's Cardinal Rule #1 in the book of Siblings Torture. And she has to start opening up a little at some point in time, though I think she kinda forgot the others were there. Ok, back to it.

The entire time this scene went on, Kurama and the others watched, bewildered.

 

"Did they completely forget we're fighting here?" Yusuke asked, dumbfounded.

 

"Apparently. Either that or they think us absolutely no challenge and are not worried," Kurama replied. Saiyu, where have I heard that name before?

 

"I'll show 'em no challenge!" Kuwabara yelled and charged at Keisu's back.

 

The truth was they truely had forgotten about the battle. They were still unconciously aware of the people behind them, though.

 

Saiyu looked up from appologizing to her brother to see Kuwabara almost on top of them, his Spirit Sword drawn.

 

There is no time to plant a seed or draw my weapon. The only other option is. . .But I promised myself that I would not. I cannot control myself when I do. There is no time. I must.

 

A turquoise blue streaked with emerald green surrounded her. Kuwabara had to stop and turn his head, while the others had to shield their eyes.

 

"Saiyu, no!" They heard Keisu scream.

I seriously considered stopping there…but with the damn word limit thing, I couldn't…(sigh)

When the glow disappeared, Saiyu was gone. Instead, standing in her place was a dark and light gray, nine tailed wolf. It had the body and head of a wolf, but was slimmer because of its kitsune blood. The beast had nine silky fox tails and was about the size of a horse. It had light gray tips on the ears and tails and four light gray socks. The rest of it was dark gray, black in some places. But the things that stood out the most were its eyes. They were lavender.

 

A kitsune wolf? I thought the last of them was destroyed years ago. . .Kurama thought.

 

Apparently not.

 

The beast stepped in front of Keisu and growled menacingly at Kuwabara. He was hiding behind Yusuke before anyone could blink.

 

"What the hell is that?!" he screamed, terrified.

 

"Who cares? It's going to be destroyed," Hiei said, preparing to attack.

 

"Wait, Hiei. I know who it is," Kurama said, placing a hand on Hiei's shoulder to stop him.

They all looked at him expectantly.

 

"Think about it. Kuwabara started to attack that boy, Keisu. Then a strange light surrounded the girl and when it dissipated a kitsune wolf stood in its place. The beast has lavender eyes, as does the girl . . . I think the girl, Saiyu, is the kitsune wolf."

 

"I think Koenma needs to see this. Let's catch her and take her to him. Maybe he can get her to change back, and then question her," Yusuke said.

 

They all nodded, except Hiei, who only "Hn"ed. The group stepped toward the pair. Yusuke and Kuwabara saying things like, "Good wolfy fox. Stay there. Good girl."

 

Saiyu growled and lowered her head, baring her fangs. Yusuke let out a nervous laugh.

 

Keisu, get on.

 

How are you controlling yourself? In the Sengoku Jidai, they would be dead and I'd be trying to convince you to turn back.

 

I know. I do not know how I am controlling this urge to destroy them, but I will not be able to do it much longer. Get on. We must leave this place.

 

Keisu nodded and walked up to her. The group of detectives stopped, wondering what was going to happen. Was he going to convince her to transform?

 

Keisu looked at the Reikai Tantei and allowed a small smirk to grace his lips. "Well, it's been fun. But I'm afraid this is where we say 'Adieu'." He leapt onto her back and waved. "Ta ta!"

 

A strong wind came up, forcing them to shield their eyes from the blowing dust. When the wind calmed down, the two demons were gone.

 

"Dammit, now we'll have to go and find them," Yusuke whined.

 

We'll see them again.

 

Yes, but what are you going to do when they return? It was Hiei.

 

What do you mean? I'll probably fight and try to capture them.

 

Hiei scoffed. I'm sure. I saw the way you were looking at the girl. What do you know about her, fox?

 

Kurama looked at him with serious eyes. I think she may be my granddaughter. . .

There ya have it. Wow…I think I'm losing my touch with this story. And I know I was a little late with the updates, but I have some news for you guys that you may or may not like. I'll most likely slow down my postings, as I'm running out of chapters. I'm still working on writing new ones, and so it might be just a little longer until a new chapter is posted, just cause I don't want the same thing to happen as it did on ff.net, meaning, I don't want to have to put the story on hold just so I can get some chapters written to post. But school is almost out, so when that happens, I'll have more time to write and hopefully postings will resume. I've been posting these from school, and I can't very well save all of my stories in my school's folder, it would take up unnecessary space and I'd have to clean it out, me being a techy and all. Anyway, I hope you guys are liking this, personally, after reading through it, I have to wonder if I should put more effort in it…You know what, I'll do it anyway, just in case. Thanks for reading, the next update will either be late next week or the week after, like I said, I'm slowing down posting.
