Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ A Blast From the...Future? ❯ Silent Pain ( Chapter 2 )

Floating on a cloud between consiousness and unconsiousness; awake only enough to realize she was being carried. She was slung over a broad shoulder and had noticed the white-silver strands softly brushing against her cheek with every movement. Her numb arm hung limply, bouncing against a strong back with her left hand around a sturdy neck, resting against the crook. Vaguely, she recalled hearing voices and scarcely told them apart.

 

'You..really are a...fool..of a....fox' Even through telepathy, her soft voice was strained.

 

'I know, but that's alright. Just as long as I'm your fool of a fox' Came his reply, a gentle smile playing on his lips.

 

"Unh." Only able to move her head slightly, she let her barely open eyes travel to the back of his head. She was sweating, but her eyes softened.

 

"Yo-ko?" She muttered when pain suddenly shot up her arm. Eyes widening, her claws lodged deep into his shoulder and he kept on walking, ignoring the small throbbing from the fresh wound. THe small pain that he knew was nothing compared to what she was experiencing.

 

Nothing!

 

 

 

Slowly coming to, Kya noticed her back rested against what felt like a leg and the back of her head and neck were being supported by an arm. Shifting, she kept her eyes closed in order to fake sleep a while longer. Voices started to reach her sensitive ears and she felt a hand; fingers gently brushing her long dark hair while the other rested on her upperarm below the shoulder.

 

Faint words started to make sense.

 

"....why you can't just tell us?!"

 

An annoyed groan came from someone as another person patiently answered "Kya is the one in charge, she was the one assigned to explain everything." Her tone was that of one consulting a child.

 

"But why the hell is that?" An unannounced and loud voice broke in.

 

"You can only know a limited amount of information concerning all of us, and who better than one who purposely antagonizes?"

 

'Stupid fox.' Drowsy as she was, she'd know his voice anytime.

 

"How come?" Another voice interveened.

 

Sighs filled the room.

 

"Why can't you just accept it?!" Someone practically yelled.

 

"The reason behind this," a muffled voice started "is because it is unwise for anyone to know too much about their own fate. I'm guessing that Kya can be trusted in keeping this from us by making sure that no one says too mcuh. In short, she's to keep them in line."

 

"But why her and not Yoko, Hina, or Honako?" A femine voice questioned, which made the male fox chuckle deeply, his sister nervously fidget, and Hina calmly answer. "She is the only one who can reframe everyone, including herself."

 

"That's probably just because she's another shrimp with attitude." An earlier voice muttered.

 

"Actually, that's...." Kay's words were cut off by a growl.

 

The last few minutes, Kya was letting her eyes adjust to the light. After staring at the ceiling, she moved her eyes to Yoko and found that it was his right arm she was leaning on. His right leg was bent vertically, blocking some people from view and his left underneath her back, also bent, but horizontally.

 

Listening only half-way to the conversation, she continued to let the white fox stroke her hair soothingly. At first she thought he wasn't aware of her gaze, until he gave a losided grin and glanced at her with his golden orbs dancing with concern, amusement and a bit of relief. At this she raised her eyebrows ever so slightly and brought the back of her hand to her pale sapphires that was when she heard where the conversation was heading and she quickly cut Kay off. Sitting up, she had some of Yokos assistence, hse moved her hand to her forehead. With her third finger resting at hte corner of the Jagan. She ignored the yelling and let her eyes narrow as she pointedly glared at the fox, who innocently arched an eyebrow in question.

 

The glare grew colder and harder.

 

Softly sighing, Yoko produced a black cloth which Kya angerly snatched from him. As she finished tieing the material, she stood and glanced at Yusuke.

 

"Are you going to tell us or what?!" He was impatiently shouting.

 

The small apparition's face suddenly went blank and stoic. She only blinked at him, then dismissed him as she looked to Hina.

 

"How long have I been out?"

 

The Spirit Detective hit the floor and heard as the others started to snicker.

 

"Man, you really are another shrimp with attitude." Kuwabara muttered when the ice apparition answered "Five hours."

 

Kya moved her weight to her other foot, her boots had been removed, no doubt by Yoko, but something else was missing. "My sword?"

 

The others exchanged looks and Honako replied "It was still lodged in Takaru's shoulder."

 

Cursing under her breath, Kya's hand absently went to her waist.

 

"Hey! You can't just brush me off!" Yusuke yelled, hand in fists.

 

The female hybrid didn't even spare him a glance.

 

"The twins?" she questioned, pushing her hands roughly into her pockets.

 

"Asleep in the next room." Yoko watched her discomfort with some amusement.

 

"Anything else?" Kay's left brow was raised a bit higher than the right.

 

"My jacket." She calmly stated, obviously still with her black shirt, a tank-top tucked into her pants which were held at her waist by two red sashes.

 

"About that," S'ke started, very uneasily, "when we fought earlier, my Shotgun Blast sort of, well....ruined it."

 

"You know, Kya," Yoko decided to make a mocking suggestion, "you can always punish him to your desires; after all, you do have the authority."

 

S'ke nervously gulped and slowly started easing away from the fire maiden.

 

Kya's skin scrunched below her right nostril, bringing up that part pf her lip as she growled "Why the hell would I do something so foolish?"

 

The white fox smirked at her slightly and after putting his hands behind his head and leaning back against the wall, he calmly closed his eyes.

 

"Alright! That's it!" Yusuke charged at her and raised a fist.

 

Kya swiftly ducked and forced her body to do a backflip, so that in the process she was able to double kick him under the chin.

 

The Spirit Detective raised his knee, which Kya easily dodged by twirling a circle so that she was able to kick Yusuke in mid-back with her left foot. While Yusuke went foreward, he had managed to grab her leg. What the small beauty did then was simple' she let all of her weight be carried into that leg in able to spin herself to give Yusuke a roundhouse kick to his jaw.

 

Simple, yet effective.

 

The Spirit Detective went skidding across the floor and crashed into a sliding door adjacent to the room with his back first, breaking the wood.

 

The others had cleared the way in time to avoid being dragged along for the ride. As for Kya, her landing was much more graceful and that was when everyone noticed that herhands were still sstuffed in her pockets. At that revelation, those who didn't know had mouths agape. It was then that kya saw who all was in the room, with the exception of the twins, the Spirit Detectives and the others from her time, there was...

 

Keiko Yukimura

 

Shizuru Kuwabara

 

Yukina Jaganshi

 

Koenma Jr.

 

Botan and

 

Master Genkai.

 

The infamous old hag was gazing at her with some sort of sparkle which unnerved Kya, so she looked at Koenma, who cleared his throat.

 

"Right," he started, "You're supposed to tell us what we want, isn't that correct?" He was smiling eagerly.

 

Kya gave a malicious smirk "No."

 

Koenma's smile faltered "No?"

 

"Kya!" Both Hina and Kay hissed, but the fire maiden defiantely folded her arms as her smirk grew. "No. You said yourself I was to keep them in line. What makes you think I'll be a hyprocrite?"

 

Koenma swallowed down a lump in his throat at the fierce look in her pale eyes and the evil smirk on her red lips.

 

"N-no-nothing. I-I was just, heheh, ya know,uh, testing you?" The prince uneasily babbled.

 

Hina groaned softly and muttered in a low voice to Henako "He's only digging himself an even bigger grave."

 

Upon hearing this, Kurama lightly chuckled and snuck a glance at Hiei. The silent demon hadn't said a single word since running into Kya and the others and this made Kurama not only worry, but wonder. Exactly how was he taking this? Sure, he was acting normal by hbeing passive; however, that could mean a numerous amount of things and the reincarnation was just hoping he'd be alright.

 

And fortunately for Koenma, Prince of Spirit World, he was saved by the twins. They jumped over Yusuke and raced towards Kya as though it was completely normal for him to be a doormat.

 

"Kya, Kya!" They shouted in unison. The boy ran in front of her panting "We're-"

 

"Hungry!" The girl practically whirled as she pulled on the teenagers black pants and finishing the sentence at the same time.

 

Yukina's eyes suddenly widened "Oh, no! I forgot!" she said, running out of the room.

 

Kya just stared after her, then gazed at the twins. "Why not let her ask for you?" she questioned in a soft tone.

 

Two pairs at brown eyes accusedly glanced up at her. "You know why!"

 

The older apparition's eyes became unfocused as loose strands of her soft hair fell across her shoulders when she had slightly bent her head down.

 

"No, I really don't." Her voice had become a quiet whisper.

 

Yusuke was beyond pissed, that was, until he saw the expression on her face. His thick eyebrows bent down, she was sad, lonely and she seemed unreachable as well. It was something to do with the way her eyes were dulled, all of a sudden and the atmosphere aroudn her wasn't unlike despair or was it really suffering? Yusuke grumbled a couple curses as he seperated himself from the splintered wood of the broken door.

 

The twins shared a look with each other and the boy gently grabbed ahold of one of Kya's hands while his sister took his and lead them by Yusuke, out the door and towards the kitchen.
