Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Double identity ❯ Multi cultural ( Chapter 4 )

Sorry for the long wait. ^^;; I finished my story Defenseless though! And... It's almost the end of summer and I'm still working, I got my permit, I'm doing community service, I'm going to have SAT tutors and I have to go look at colleges. I don't think I'll have any free time this coming year so-- forgive me in advance! It's a fair warning...

 

Disclaimer: I still don't own any Yu Yu Hakusho characters but I own any OC and the plot!

Chapter 4: Multi cultural

 

“What's the matter? Why call us like it's a matter of life and death all of a sudden?” asked an annoyed Yusuke. He had been enjoying ditching class...

 

“It is a matter of life and death Yusuke. All of Japan will die in two days if we fail this mission.” replied Kurama deadly serious. Kuwabara stared at him, shocked as Yusuke frowned.

 

“What do you mean?”

 

“Koenma didn't really explain this in depth but, apparently each country has a water nymph and if it's taken or killed, the water will evaporate and the humans will die-- for some unexplainable reason.” explained Kurama, turning on the television.

 

“Another shocking report! The droughts that yesterday affected only Europe and Russia now spread to Canada, the United States, Mongolia, China, Africa and even the oceans!” said one baffled reporter.

 

Zap. Kurama switched channels.

 

“It seems the entire water supply is evaporating! Not only do the clouds disappear but even the water in your fridge could evaporate in two minutes! It's incredible but frightening! Experts are at a loss of--” Kurama turned off the TV.

 

“It's already begun. We need to act.” he stated bluntly.

 

“Hold up-- are you saying, that just 'cuz some chick couldn't defend herself we'd all have to die!?” slightly growled Yusuke.

 

“Hn. No baka. It's the responsibility of Koenma to ensure their safety.” chimed in Hiei, his arms crossed on his chest.

 

Kurama nodded, “Yes, I've done some quick research. Apparently, they have to move every year -or if they're lucky, every two years- and their lives are in constant turmoil.”

 

Yusuke sighed and held his hands up, “Yeah ok, ok, I get it. It's our duty as lackeys for Koenma to go wherever those assholes took them and free them. Gotcha. So, are we going?” he finished with a smirk.

Groaning while her eyes fluttered open, Mizu tried to sit up, only to fall on her left shoulder. Closing her eyes in a quick wince, she rolled on her stomach since her hands were tied on her back. Damn that hurt... And where the hell was she anyway? This looked like-- a spooky dungeon you'd see in a Dracula movie, well... sort of.

 

Muffled sobs and quiet murmurs reached Mizu's ears as she felt two uncertain hands untying her hands. “Arigato...” she muttered as she pushed herself off the ground, barely able to distinguish who untied her since this-- dungeon was so dark.

 

“Je veux rentrer à la maison!” (1) whimpered a young girl next to Mizu, the one who apparently untied her.

 

“Ich will nach Hause-- Ich will meine Mutter!” (2) sobbed another young girl in a corner.

 

“Excuse me? What did you jus--”

 

“Shut up!” roared a guard, clanking his heavy metal weapon against the metal bars of their cell. Every girl stopped moving and the only sound heard was the echoing of the clanked metal echoing.

 

Mizu was so confused, where the hell was she and who the hell was that guy? And why were they all in one stupid cell!? Taking a deep, calming breath, Mizu glanced around her, counting at least fifty girls. Some looked different, one had really pale skin, blond hair and blue eyes. Another looked like an Indian from India, and there was an Indian from America, the Native Indians.

 

'... This looks like a freakin' world convention...' thought Mizu, slightly amazed at the incredibly wide rang of nationalities put in one room. And of course, she was the only one speaking Japanese. Maybe she should try to find someone who speaks English-- but there should be only two of those. Oh dear... what a mess.

 

“It's time.” said a low voice belonging to that figure standing with his back to the light, causing the nymphs in the cell to see only his shadow. And damn, what a shadow. It was huge!

 

In a deafening loud screech, someone pulled the cell door open and in came a-- thing. What looked like a hand grabbed a girl nearest to the door. She was an African nymph and started begging, pleading and imploring in her language, pulling against the tight grip and extending her free hand behind her for someone to grab her.

 

Mizu clenched her teeth, the terrified screams were getting to her and there was no way she'd just stand there and watch this. Standing up in a second, she hurriedly grabbed the girl's hand. But it was too late, a foot hit her stomach and she was sent all the way at the end of the cell and into the wall.

 

The door closed again and the whimpers echoed softly against the stone walls. 'What-- was that?' thought the Japanese nymph, slowly catching her breath. She wasn't talking about the demon that grabbed the girl, but about the sensation she felt when she had grabbed that poor girl's hand.

 

'It felt like-- something came inside me-- like a zap...' But there was nothing more she guess and she had no time to think any longer since the door opened again and in came that same ugly ass faced demon -quite literally. He had two large, pink, puffy cheeks, beady black slits that were supposed to act like eyes and a vertical mouth.

 

Gross.

 

A shriek snapped Mizu out of her staring daze and she lunged forward, grazing the girl's fingers before the door slammed in her face. Missed again! Damnit. But-- when her fingers touched that other girl's, she felt it again. That tingling sensation in the tips of her fingers, rushing all throughout her body.

 

And on it went. There was nothing she could do. Every time that thing came in and grabbed a struggling girl, Mizu could do nothing but grab or graze their hand for a maximum of five seconds. 'Kuso, I'm useless!' she thought angrily, clenching her fists.

 

Then voices in the corridor diverted her attention, “What's with them? They're all useless.” snapped an angered voice.

 

“Weird, they all passed the test.” chimed in another voice.

 

“Something must have taken their powers.” growled the first voice. Mizu's eyes widened hearing the footsteps get closer. She hadn't noticed until now but-- there were only three of them left. And the other two were cowering in corners, trying to hide in the shadows.

 

A mocking snort made her look up, her blue eyes narrowing at the new demon. “Oh I like your eyes. I'll save you for last.” he smirked at her and glanced left. “You'll do for now.” And he grabbed that other girl's wrist. She was the one who untied Mizu and she was shouting in her native tongue, trying to grab onto something to not get pulled out.

 

“I won't let you!” shouted Mizu, jumping on the terrorized girl's hand and tugging her back.

 

“Annoying pest.” muttered the demon and slammed his fist in her face.

 

“Oh, she always does that. As if they're relatives or something.” snickered the ass faced demon. And the footsteps faded away.

 

'Damnit-- what the hell am I supposed to do!? I don't even know if they're alive or dead!' It was true. If you got pulled out of the cell, you didn't come back. Alive or dead was a mystery. Guess you'd find out if you got jerked out as well.

“Are you sure it's in this area?” asked Kuwabara, his eyebrow slightly twitching. It was a creepy looking forest in front of them.

 

“Hai, I'm sure. It's the closest Koenma could take us without them noticing us.” confirmed Kurama.

 

Hiei and Yusuke just looked around, making sure there weren't any demons around for now. “So far so good.” said Yusuke, “But how do we know which way to go now?” he inquired, raising an eyebrow.

 

“That's a simple answer. The only thing around for miles is that one building.” replied the all knowing Kurama.

 

“Oh? And what is it?” blinked Kuwabara.

 

“Lord Korochi's castle.”

 

(1) “I want to go home.” in French.

(2) “I want to go home-- I want my mother!” in German.
