Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ crimson eyes, my crimson eyes ❯ phone call ( Chapter 11 )

Crimson: Hello. Look at me I am updating again. Sorry about the delay.

Yumiko's POV

The rest of the evening was just as fun as before dinner. For the first time in forever, I finally watched a movie. Neither Hiei nor Kurama wanted to join, but I really didn't care. My first horror film! I also found out that they didn't call it horror for nothing.

Note to self: never agree to watch The Ring with Kuwabara and Yusuke again. They both clung to me during the whole movie. It wasn't that bad though. I found myself just as scared as them, especially at the end.

Trust me. It becomes scarier after the movie is over than while you are watching it. For a whole hour after, the three of us stared horror struck at the phone. Of course Kuwabara had to ask the one question on all of our minds.

"Hey guys?" he started. Yusuke and I looked at him questionably.

"Do you think the phone will ring, then that voice will be on it, then that girl will come out of the TV, and…?"

"Stop!" I shouted. Kami, couldn't he see that I was scared enough without being provoked? Of course it was then that it happened. Yep, you guessed it.

The phone rang.

I was beyond scared. This was so unlike me, but I didn't care. I automatically turned into the helpless little sister and hid behind Yusuke. He wasn't really my big brother but so what? I reversed the rolls, and instead of him clinging to me, I clung to him. For dear life. It was exhilarating actually. We both looked at Kuwabara, silently urging him to answer the phone. Did he?

Hell no.

In a flash I found myself in the front again, with Yusuke and Kuwabara cowering behind me. Some big brothers they are. I turned to the phone. It was still ringing. I swallowed and slowly reached over to pick it up. I took a deep breath, and lifted the phone up from the receiver to my ear. My already raspy voice turned to a wavering whisper.

"Hello?" I asked.

"I know who you are. My little hanyou. My pretty little koorime. You can't hide from me forever. You may have avoided my hunters, but sooner or later your friends won't be there to protect you, and the second you are alone I will come. You better stay with them for as long as you can but I will still have you. You will be mine. Sweet dreams puppet."

Bleep. Bleep. Bleep.

He had hung up. I let the phone drop from my hands. They were shaking. Everything was spinning, and I slowly turned towards Yusuke. I thought I was scared before. The irony hit me, and I started sobbing, the salty wetness going down my cheeks, entering my mouth allowing me to taste the bitter things. My sudden outburst caused Kurama to come out of the kitchen running and eyeing me worriedly. He cared. Oh Kami they all cared. They were my family, of course they cared. They were the only reason I was safe. I started to cry harder.

Then I did the only thing I could think of, and ran into Kurama, embracing the living daylights out of him, saying over and over something like,

"Don't let him get me, please. Please don't send me away. I promise I will be good. Please Kurama."

Kurama was the best though. He just stood there rubbing my back and shushing me softly, telling me to calm down. And amazingly, I did just that, slowly finding the strength to sit down on the couch with him and the others. I sank into it slowly feeling better. He couldn't get me. Not with them here.

I was safe.

Together we sat in, for me, a comfortable silence. I waited for someone to else to speak and break the silence though. Eventually it happened.

"Are you feeling better now Yumiko?" Kurama asked. I nodded, smiling slightly. Kurama returned my smile with one of his own, before looking at me seriously.

"What happened Yumiko? Was it the movie?" He asked. I shook my head, wishing that that was it. Yusuke put a comforting hand on my shoulder, mimicking the serious look of Kurama.

"It was the phone call wasn't it?" It wasn't a question.

"Yes." I replied. Yusuke frowned in thought.

"Okay, if that was it, why did it scare you? I mean, sure, we just saw that movie but it isn't real." Kuwabara turned to look at Yusuke.

"It's not?" He asked. I strongly resisted rolling my eyes, and decided to answer Yusuke's question. Nobody else bothered to answer Kuwabara either.

"It wasn't related to the movie at all." I started. I didn't add anything to that. I didn't want to talk about it. I wouldn't talk about it.

No, I wouldn't talk about it. Nope. Nada. Nothing from me.

"Then who was it Yumiko?" Kurama spoke up finally. I opened my mouth, and then closed it again. How was I supposed to say it? Oh, well I am worried that this person might just go back on his own words and try to get me and kill you all if I speak of him, so I can't? No. I don't think so. I don't even know who this bastard is.

"Yumiko?" Kurama repeated. I looked up at him to see him frowning at me. I kept my mouth shut however. He sighed, and I felt Yusuke squeeze my shoulder for support I guess. I couldn't keep this from them, they would find out sooner or later anyways.

"I…don't know," I started, trying to word it right. "He just…um, well, he said." I paused, choking back tears. Kurama raised an eyebrow in question, but waited for me to continue. I toke a deep breath to calm myself before doing so.

"I…think it was the master of that band of things earlier. He called me a…" I paused trying to remember what he called me. It started with an h. I shook my head. "Sorry, I don't remember what he called me, other than me being his." I added, looking back up at Kurama.

He had a pensive look on his face. It lasted for about a minute, but the whole time he was looking at me. Finally he spoke up.

"It appears that this person knows where you are, and I don't think it would be wise for you to be alone." He hesitated for a moment before speaking again. "I believe we will have to enroll one of us to be your bodyguard at all times." He looked at me seriously.

"I want you to pick who that person is Yumiko. Although most of the time all of us will be with you during the day, you have to remember that you have to be able to put up with this person all the time."

I have to admit that my first thought was to pick Kurama. I knew I could put up with him, but instead I chose someone else, realizing I didn't want somebody to put up with, I wanted somebody who I could fight with as well. I smiled.

"I think I will just go with ……."

Crimson: I know I am evil. First I take forever to update, then I leave you with a cliff hanger. Don't act like you don't know who she picked. Go on, guess. It isn't that hard.

Thanks to all who reviewed me. By the way, I am working on my other story now. It might be done by Sunday. I am sorry, I truly do have a lot of homework now, and I am in a sport already so I am really pushing it.

Again I would like to suggest two people to you, trust me their stories are GOOD.

Hogwarts: The next generation by Holy insert-cuss-word. One of my personal friends, very funny, and I am in it!

Magic Rocks! By ShadowRenaman. Another one of my personal friends, this story is also Yu Yu Hakusho. Please read their stories and review………and be nice or else I will send the people muncher dragons of doom on you! Muwahahahaha.

Also any stories by my buddy TheBlackFox01 would do.

TheBlackFox01: HI Sierra! I know why you can't find the third story. I had to delete it because I at the moment I don't have time for it. I will probably post it back up again once I am done with one of these stories. Ja Ne.\

Genkaimaster: Thank You! I am so glad you like it. Like I said earlier I will try to update as much as possible.

uvanime4life: I am glad I could make you laugh. That is another goal that I try to strive for.

Kitsune Kit: I am so sorry for not adding you to the responses earlier. I am so glad you love this story, and to admit it, it is my favorite story as well. (For now, once I get into the good stuff, half empty half full then it will be my favorite.) I hope you saved your house from the burning cookies.

ShadowRenaman: Sarah! Hi! Lol, yes it is fluff. It toke the NAVY to figure out that water freezes in cold temperatures? Wow, we humans must be stupid.

animegrl_15(): I am glad you liked it. To find out what happened to LKNB look to my response to the black fox.

Princess Shadowcat: You new, I think this is the first time I have seen you before. Please do not break your monitor. If you do then how are you suppose to read my stories. I have a big ego, I know. By the way I love your name! Cats are the best!

SarnaKiro: Yes I did update! I am happy at the same time as you trust me. Except I don't do the happy dance…..I do the victory dance. Lol.

Sapphire767: You are welcome. I don't know why you thanked me, but I am glad you like the story and where it is going.

daria1376: Here is your chapter that you wanted. The only catch is that you have to share it with others.

HieiFan666: There is a reason why Yumiko was able to heal, even though it seemed impossible to Kurama for a human. There wasn't any fluff in this chapter but the next chapter is….how should I say this. A slumber party?

SilentTruth: Another new person. Don't worry about that comment, I have noticed it too I just can't change it right now. By the way I need a beta reader. If anyone wants to offer there time.

MoonGoddessMononoke: I am glad you like it so much. The story being your life is a little much, but it makes me feel special, so that's okay.

Crimson Alessa: Yep, their faces were priceless indeed. Just like the MasterCard commercial. Hehe.

Icy AngelWings: You were the only one who guessed! You guessed right by the way. I love him too, which is why she is connected to him. I am not naming him, because he is a surprise for right now. Thank you.

Coodle: Yes it would add excitement, but I am not planning on her running away until later….and until something serious happens.

Look at all those people! This is only for chapter 10 reviewers! 16! Ja Ne.
