Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ A Hidden Life ❯ Reacquainted ( Chapter 2 )

Disclaimer: I sadly do not own Yu Yu Hakusho or any of it's characters.

A/N: Sorry for the first chapter everyone. It was my first time posting and I didn't know that it wouldn't keep all the settings I had on my story. I'll try to make this one alittle bit more easy to read.

Chapter two: Reacquainted

As long as Ayame was distracting the Tantei from attacking Hiroke things had a better chance of turning out.

She took a few steps towards the four boys proving that she had no intention of backing down.

A tall boy with long hair stepped forward. "I will fight her first" She heard him say.

Ayame sensed that he was a human but she also sensed a demonic energy inside him, which confused her greatly. Oh well, maybe I'll have some fun and learn something from the Rekai Tantei I've heard so much about. Then she attacked.

~*~

The girl was running at Kurama with a human's speed and tried to punch him in the stomach but he was able to dodge it very easily. Is this all we're up against? He wondered to himself. Obviously, Hiei felt the same because Kurama had heard a small snort when the girl attacked him. Kurama chanced a look at Yusuke and Kuwabara, knowing that the girl wouldn't be fast enough to catch him off guard, and saw the two boys with wide unbelieving eyes looking straight at the pathetic fight. But then he felt a knee make contact with his stomach, not enough to hurt but enough for him to notice it. What? How did her speed increase that much? Then it clicked. She's not showing all her power. This girl cannot be human, can she?

"You're really no fun to taunt, you know that?" The girl said aloud.

"I hadn't noticed you were trying." He lied.

She just gave him a skeptical look then sighed. "Fine, we'll fight your way." She then pulled two leaves out of her hair, one in each hand, turned them into swords and got into a fighting position.

So she is some kind of demon. Then Kurama followed her lead and pulled a rose from his hair, used his youki to turn it into the rose whip, and also got into a fighting

stance.

~*~

Hiroke formed a new plan when he saw the power of the two fighters. If I can just get this girl between them when they attack they'll be so worried about their little friend that I will be able to sneak away with my life and body intact. Nothing can go wrong.

~*~

As Ayame was running towards her opponent she heard Hiroke move behind her. Oh no, what is that baka up to now? She worriedly wondered. But then the answer to her question soon came. Just as the boy whipped his vine at her, she saw out of the corner of her eye what Hiroke was going to do. And then he did it. But before Ayame could think about what she was doing, she jumped and turned over the body that was supposed to intercept both attacks and was pierced with the rose whip through her back and out through her stomach.

Ayame landed unstably on her feet with the unconscious girl safe in her arms. She then turned around, slowly walked to the boy, placed the girl in his arms and went to go catch up with Hiroke.

~*~

I did it! I did it! Wait until I tell Ayame. That bitch will have to treat me with more respect knowing what I did. He was so proud of himself that he didn't hear the footsteps behind him.

"Moron, I told you your plans wouldn't work. You're not worth my time anymore. I don't care what happens to me as long as I kill you."

He turned around and saw the girl that had been fighting a few minutes before, then everything went black.

~*~

Kurama and the rest of the Rekai Tantei just stood there stunned for a few moments. All Yusuke could think was what the hell just happened? But Kurama, realizing Botan needed to be treated took her inside the temple.

"I think we should go look for her." Yusuke suggested after Botan was in good care.

"It doesn't matter. She won't get far with that hole in her stomach. We can look for her tomorrow." Hiei said.

Kurama agreed, "I think Hiei is right, let's look for her when the sun comes up."

~*~

Ayame woke up on a…. bed?! She sat straight up but immediately regretted it when she felt her wound beginning to reopen.

"That probably wasn't the best thing you could have done." A male but slightly feminine voice said. She turned and saw the boy she was fighting yesterday. But since this time there was light, she took in his fiery red hair, emerald eyes, and comforting smile.

"No kidding." Was all she could say before she fell unconscious once more.

~*~

Kurama watched the girl as she slept, I feel like I know her… but from where? She doesn't look familiar.

She had pin-straight red-brown hair, teal eyes (which he'd noticed when she woke up), was a couple inches shorter than Yusuke, and was wearing black Capri pants and a maroon top.

Deciding he'd better let her have some privacy while she slept, he went to tell the others how she was doing.

~*~

"Is she still sleeping?" Yusuke asked Kurama when he came back.

"Hai."

"I dunno you guys, she might try to kill us when we least expect it." Kuwabara stated.

"I don't think so; she'd have to be an idiot if she thought that she could take on all four of us injured." Replied Yusuke.

"Yeah... I guess…" Kuwabara was silently thinking about that for awhile.

"Who do you think she is?" Yusuke asked.

"I'm not sure but when I was fighting her she was definitely masking her youki."

"But she feels just like a human."

"Oh! Maybe she's like Kurama and escaped from the Makai to the Ningenkai and was reborn as a human and still has some of her powers!" Kuwabara stated quickly, out of breath from talking to fast.

Hiei was about to comment on that when someone spoke up for him.

"Actually, that's not what happened."

~*~

Ayame had woken up to hear voices in the other room. Then she remembered where she was. Why are they helping me? I was trying to kill them last night, well not really, but they didn't know that… And with that Ayame resolved to find out what they had in store for her.

When she got out of the bedroom she could hear the voices more clearly now.

"I'm not sure but when I was fighting her she was definitely masking her youki."

"But she feels just like a human."

"Oh! Maybe she's like Kurama and escaped from the Makai to the Ningenkai and was reborn as a human and still has some of her powers!"

"Actually, that's not what happened." She corrected.

All eyes suddenly turned on her. And then she realized the ferry girl wasn't there.

"Where's the girl?" She asked.

"Oh, Botan, she's fine. She had to go back to the Rekai. She had wanted to stay to say thank you but we didn't want to wake you."

She gave them a questioning glare.

"Why are you helping me?"

"Who said we were helping you?" Hiei answered calmly.

Ayame then really noticed the short demon leaning against the wall and immediately recognized him. She was surprised to say the lease, Hiei here? With humans? I wonder if something tragic happened where he lost his memory or something… I guess that wouldn't be to tragic though, considering what I've heard about his past and all… But Ayame quickly covered her surprise and said,

"Well Hiei, this is certainly a surprise."

There was silence. Then everyone looked back and forth between Hiei and Ayame.

"Do you know her Hiei?" The redhead asked.

"Iie. Who are you?" Hiei demanded.

Ayame sighed. Maybe I do mask my youki well. Ayame just smiled and said,

"You may call me Aya." Ayame replied.

Hiei snorted, obviously pissed that he had to reword his question, "How do you know me ningen?"

At that, Ayame couldn't keep the surprise hidden from her face. I really must be able to hide my youki well if Hiei can't even tell that I'm a demon.

"Well Hiei, if I do remember correctly…" Ayame feigned thoughtfulness just to make Hiei wait. "I do believe I saved your life before you almost bled to death after fighting that inu youkai."

Hiei's eyes widened slightly. Ayame? She's alive? I had always thought that she was dead. Especially since-

"Well Hiei, do you remember?" Ayame said while interrupting Hiei's thoughts.

"Hai, I remember.

Well that's the end of chapter two.. I know my point of views keep changing… but hopefully it's not too confusing.

Ja ne!
