Blue Light

Chapter Four

Shizuru raised a brow at her know-nothing brother. "Don't you have some kind of..." She said, "activity to do? You know I hate it when you try to talk to me. Its like listening to a monkey."

Kuwabara groaned. "Your not listening to me, sis!"

"Let me say it more slowly so you can understand- Mon-key- got it?"

"SHIZURU!"

Shizuru sighed. "Fine. What is it?"

"The rain. Its purple."

Shizuru blinked. "You're wasting my time by telling me that there is purple rain?"

"SHIZURU!"

"Fine. Fine. Go on."

Kuwabara started to jump up and down, "Now. Remember that movie, Fish Monsters? Remember when everyone started to run outside and when the purple rain came down, it was really like acid so that means that the rain is dissolving the buildings and then we're all going to DIE AND WE NEED TO WARN-"

Shizuru grabbed Kuwabara by the ear, walked to a nearby widow and opened it.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" Kuwabara shouted.

Shizuru pulled Kuwabara up and outside so that he was leaning outside with the only thing holding him back was Shizuru's hand pulling at his ear.

Kuwabara just screamed like a five-year-old girl.

After about a few minutes, Shizuru pulled her little brother back inside.

"I'M DYING! MY OWN SISTER KILLED ME!" Kuwabara cried out.

"Your not dead, you idiot."

Kuwabara blinked as he looked around himself and then back at her.

Shizuru leaned against the wall. "Your dry. That means that the rain isn't liquid. So its not acid."

Kuwabara sighed with relief. "Good. How'd you know anyways?"

Shizuru yawned, stood up and walked off.

"I didn't." She said, leaving the room.

"Oh." Kuwabara said, confusion lit in his features as he "tried" to comprehend what his older had just said.

I don't get it... Kuwabara thought to himself.

An hour later...

"HEY!" Kuwabara shouted, realization finally penetrated his brain.

Shizuru sighed as she heard her brother yelling for her. With much quickness and ease, she ducked into one of the dark rooms (and a quick pick at the door lock with a hairpin) and out of sight. Just as she did, Kuwabara came running past her.

"SHIZURU!" He shouted.

Shizuru shook her head as she closed the door when she heard her brothers monstrous footsteps heading her way again.

"Um..." Said a voice from behind Shizuru.

Shizuru raised a brow and turned around to see Kurama looking at her with question.

"Oh, sorry. I was running away from the idiot everyone knows as my brother."

Kurama smiled a small smile.

Shizuru yawned as she fell into a large couch.

"So this is your room that you share with-" She started.

"Hiei, Yusuke, and your brother who you think is an idiot." Kurama said.

"You made a funny." Shizuru smiled softly. "So your cute and comical."

Kurama blushed. "And your very bold." He said softly.

Shizuru flipped her brown hair over her shoulders, a glint of amusement and maybe even play in her eyes. "I try."

Her gaze fell on Kurama's angelic face, and felt her soul being undressed by his green eyes.

Shizuru looked away quickly (but of course, nervelessly), she fidgeted around her pocket for a cigarette.

Kurama didn't know what to make of the girl. She was so calm and so cool that he couldn't see anything past the wall of her deep dark brown eyes.

Shizuru found her pack of squares and after she took a smoke, the stress floated away. She blew out a puff of smoke that filled the room with a hazy mist.

Kurama walked to the window, his eyes searching the horizon. The sky was now night and the moon was still as white as ever but the rain was still purple.

"Spirits."

Kurama blinked and turned around. "What was that?" He asked Shizuru.

"Spirits. They linger everywhere with a cause, with no hope or just because they caw what to do next." Shizuru stood up and walked over to next to the red-head boy. She then added, "That's what they are. Spirits." Her gaze pointed out at the view.

Kurama looked confused. "What are?" He asked.

Shizuru took her cigarette to her lips and drew in the nectarous substance before she answered. "The rain." With that, she opened the window and threw out her cigarette.

Botan was walking while Kiyoshi flew behind her. "Sorry you can't go outside, Kiyoshi." Botan sighed, "But its not the greatest weather to be in."

The bird cawed in response and then it cawed again.

Botan turned around to look at it and smiled.

"I guess its okay for you to fly around the hotel," Botan said.

"But no funny business, got it?" She added.

The phoenix dipped a little as if he didn't agree with Botan.

Botan pursed her lips and gave the bird the "I-don't-want-to-hear-it" look.

The phoenix cawed on last time and then he flew off.

Botan shook her head, "Just like Yusuke."

Across the hall, the phoenix flew out fast, past Hiei. Hiei jerked his head in the direction of the phoenix, the amazing power that was emitting through the air was unbearable.

"What the hell was that?" He asked.

Hiei speed up and down the hallway, his hand ready at his sheath.

Out of nowhere, a hand flew at him right square in the gut. Hiei stopped immediately and sank to the floor on one knee.

"Oh my..." Said a voice.

Hiei looked up, his eyes locked onto Botan's face.

"Botan?" Hiei asked in a daze.

"I didn't know that... ohhhhhh!" Botan helped the boy up.

Hiei shook his head, "No, I'm fine." He moved away from the girls grasp.

It pained him but he stood straight up.

"Where the hell did he go?" Hiei could still fell the strong power radiating throughout the air.

"Where did who go?" Botan asked.

Hiei looked at Botan with confusion. "You don't feel that?"

Botan looked at him oddly, "Feel what?"

Hiei shook his head again, "Nothing." He could've sworn that power was nearby, so near that he could-

"Now are you sure your okay," Botan asked once again.

"I'm fine." Hiei said.

He could feel that power right in that room! Where the hell was it!

Where did that power come from? He thought to himself.

After he left Botan, he spotted Yusuke's bloody damn phoenix flying across the hall and then it was gone.

"That would explain that,"Hiei growled under his breath, cursing the bird.

On the floor above Hiei, stood Yusuke and Genkai.

"So this Blue Light is Mother Earth's heart, right?" Yusuke asked.

"Well, it's part of Mother Earth. Its her daughter-"

"Whoa!" Yusuke threw his hands up. "Mother Nature is HUMAN?"

"Mother Nature was once human. Many years ago. She is now a spirit that drives this earth to be was it is now. She had a daughter, however, those many years ago who was still human. Her daughter held the same power that mother nature possess. However, she was much more powerful."

Yusuke blinked. "More powerful?"

"The father of Mother Nature's daughter was a demon from the spirit world."

Yusuke gaped, "A Demon!"

"His name was Reef but he was once human," Genkai said, "However, he sold his soul to a witch for demon powers. He didn't know that the witch was actually the jealous water-sprite, Kinda, who'd been in love with him for years.

"She not only took his soul, gave him his possessed-demon powers and cursed his heart; But she also tried to kill his love, Mother Earth or her real name, Iris." Genkai continued, "See, Iris was kidnaped by Kinda and locked into an ice crystal at the bottom of the ocean. Reef, thinking she had run off with someone, started a rampage on the Earth."

"Don't tell me," Yusuke smirked, "He wanted to be immortal and then sold his soul to that Sprite. Right?"

"Exactly." Genkai walked to the window. "Iris escaped her ice prison to find the world she had in chaos and destroyed by the man she loved."

"So what happened?" Yusuke asked, falling into one of the chairs.

Genkai sighed and started to finish the story...

Iris stood against the wind, its currents sweeping through her black hair. She wore a white dress that wrapped snugly around her body from the shoulders down and the it was let loose from her waist and flowed down to her ankles. Her dark brown eyes gazed at the destruction around her and felt her eyes misting.

"My... home." Iris fell to her knees and started to cry uncontrollably.

"I - I - Iris?"

Iris, with her tears pouring heavily down her face, turned and froze. Out of the shadows stepped out the man she thought was lost from her...

Reef.

"It - It is you..." Reef said slowly as he walked a little closer to the woman. He stood the same way he stood when he was about to tell Iris that he loved her-unsure and nervous. Reef's black hair was longer and slicked back away from his face. He was a lot bigger, more ripped, and he wore a black sleeveless shirt, loose-fitted black pants and black shoes. His eyes were still the deep brown she had fell for but she could see years of age and dark pain.

She could also see that he hid something deep inside of him.

Iris's hand slowly flew to her mouth and her eyes widened.

Reef stood in front of Iris; He then caressed a hand across her cheek.

"Reef." Iris jumped up and threw her arms around his neck.

Reef slowly wrapped his own arms around Iris's waist.

"What happened?" Iris whispered into Reef's ear.

Reef stiffened, breaking away from the embrace. "I thought you left me," he told the girl. "I thought you had gone off with someone else."

"Why would-" Iris began.

"A lot of things have changed, Iris." Reef told her. "I've done things..." He didn't say anything as he looked away into the sky.

Iris's eyes clouded, realization hitting her.

Reef could feel the tears behind his closed eyes. "I'm sorry-" He stopped talking as he felt arms come around him from behind and around his waist.

"I would have never left you." Iris cried softly, resting her head against Reef's back. "And I'll never leave you again."

Reef's demon heart, black and tarred from his years of hatred and revenge, started to beat as blood flowed into its chambers.

Reef turned around and enfolded Iris close in his arms.

"I'm so lost," Reef whispered into Iris's hair. "I don't know-"

To Reef's surprise, Iris looked up at him and then kissed him.

After a second, Reef fell into the kiss as his demon heart broke.

His soul, regained.

That night, they spent the time with love and passion.

The mourning after, Kinda stood above the cottage Reef and Iris was in. She was a breathtakingly, red-haired woman with dark-blue eyes that was filled with rage. She wore a dark-green top that cut off above her navel, a white skirt that reached her knees, and dark-green colored sandals.

Iris woke as she lay on top of Reef, who laid asleep.

Iris could feel the rage surrounding her and Reef. She could sense the danger.

She could tell someone wanted blood.

Iris looked down at Reef with a smile, her heart sighing within her chest. She gently kissed him and got up to dress.

"I love you, Reef..." She whispered into his ear before she left the house.

Iris stepped outside and looked up to see Kinda who in turn, looked back down at her.

"So you escaped." Kinda scowled, her fists balled up.

Iris didn't say anything. She lifted her hands up as she elevated off the ground to Kinda face-to-face.

"You've stolen a lot, Kinda." Iris lifted her hands at shoulder level. Particles of white light collected between the palms of her hands and her hair started to float up and around her head.

"But I'm going to gain it all back," Iris thrust her hands forward; The particles formed into a solid beam about twelve inches wide which shot out at Kinda.

Kinda waved her hand in a circular motion so that a shield appeared and blocked the attack. "He's mine, you wretched little wench!" Kinda glowered. "You goody-too-shoes bitch!"

Kinda flicked a hand, palm out, and transmitted a green optical maser at Iris. Iris threw up her arms in front of her to block the attack.

Iris flew up as she shot out discs of pink matter from her fingertips. Kinda dodged the first two but then was hit in the gut by the third.

Kinda was thrown back about two yards from the blow.

Kinda suddenly threw up her arms, a green aura surrounding them.

"Die in hell, Bitch."

Iris watched Kinda throw out a large energy ball. Not fast enough, the ball hit Iris on the side just as Reef burst through the door of the cottage.

"Iris!" He shouted.

Kinda turned around to see Reef, engulfed with a blue light, lifting up into the air towards Iris's falling body. She fell into Reef's arms, her eyes closed and breathing lessening.

Reef's eyes started to haze over as he looked at his love.

"Reef." Iris whispered, her hand raised to stroke his cheek. "I love you."

"Please don't," Reef cried softly. "I can't lose you again."

Iris's eyes opened a little, to see her love's tears pouring.

"Do you love me?" Iris asked. Though a little weak, Reef could still see the playfulness in her eyes.

Iris and Reef floated slowly down to the ground; A light-blue aura surrounded them.

Reef, through his tears, smiled faintly.

"Oh," Reef tried to say without breaking down. "Don't you know I do?"

"Please," Iris pleaded. "I need to hear you-"

"I love you, Iris."

That instant, the ground began to shake. Iris smiled up at Reef; She took his hand into hers and placed it to her stomach, and a blue light at their touch.

Reef's eyes widened while Iris shook her head and laughed.

Reef grinned. He kissed Iris, who soundly kissed him back, as the ground around them engulfed them into the Earth's humble folds...

"It was the Earth's own spirit who felt Reef's demon heart love and Iris compassionate and kind soul that she saved them both. That day, Blue Light was born along with a Champion, Guardian of the Blue Light." Genkai finished.

Yusuke let out a whistle. "Whoa... That was intense."

Genkai didn't say anything more. She just looked out the window while Yusuke took in the story.

"So why did you tell me all this?" Yusuke asked after a good half of an hour.

"It been said that the Spirit Detective will lead us to the next Guardian of the Blue Light." Genkai said. "Koenma informed me of a prophecy foretold by one of the Spirits of Fortune."

"So I have to go find this guy so he can go protect this girl, right?" Yusuke raised a brow. "That can't be all?"

Genkai gazed at Yusuke before she left the room.

"Something like that, Yusuke." She called out.

Yusuke blinked. "NOW WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?"
