Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Double identity ❯ It's so great to be alive! Or is it? ( Chapter 8 )

Um, not much to say except I started that right after chapter 7. Be proud! I wrote more these last two days than in the past 6 months (or so)! Enjoy the read! ^^;

 

Disclaimer: The things I own: Mizu, and the plot. Nothing else besides creativity!

Chapter 8: It's so great to be alive! Or is it?

 

“Run the preliminary tests.” said Koenma from his chair, watching the sleeping girl in the white room. Botan nodded and pressed a button in front of her, the table from what appeared to be a scanner moving slowly into the soundless, moving circle.

 

The machine resembled a CAT scan except it was harmless. The blue figure was thoroughly -and painlessly- scanned; the amplified power detector shut down while the results were transferred to a big screen in the office Koenma and Botan were in, behind a glass panel.

 

A printer ate a piece of paper and regurgitated it with a chart on it. Botan grabbed it and handed it to Koenma, who's eyes nearly bulged out of his head. “Is that for real!?”

 

Botan confirmed it was by a nod. Catching his breath, Koenma started mumbling to himself, “No wonder the other ones tested negative. This is-- Such power...” he mused and glanced at the girl again.

 

“Deadly.” he added in a whisper.

 

~*~

“I wonder what will happen if I don't wake up tomorrow.” pondered Kuwabara out loud, annoying the heck out of Yusuke.

 

“Supposedly you won't know because you're dead, but technically you'll float around and see your body and it'll take you a lifetime to figure out you died.” sarcastically replied the gel haired boy.

 

“Shut it Urameshi! I'll punch your face in the concrete!” threatened a frowning Kuwabara. He couldn't laugh about death. Hell his best friend -present at the moment- died once before coming back alive to be some lackey to the ruler of the Gate of Judgment! (1)

 

Kurama was also wondering what would happen, but he knew nothing would since he had absolute trust in his demon friend who hadn't said a word more. An uncomfortable silence filled the air until the four friends appeared in Ningenkai again.

 

“... Well then, I have to go home before my mother worries. I'll see you all tomorrow... if we're lucky.” smiled Kurama, quickly glancing at Hiei before heading off towards his house.

 

“... Funny, very funny.” muttered a disgruntled Yusuke. “I sure hope you're right Hiei. I wouldn't want to be you come tomorrow and we're dead, because I'd kill you again.” he semi glared at his short friend.

 

Hiei just shrugged, “I'll have you know I'd probably go to Hell, in that case you'd die before being able to reach me. You're very popular over there.” he replied nonchalantly, referring to all the demons Yusuke had killed.

 

“Yeah well, see you in the afterlife.” waved Kuwabara, deciding to go home and sleep soundly. Hopefully...

 

~*~

Blink. Blink, blink. “Thank goodness!” shouted Kuwabara, jumping up from his bed excitedly, “I can breathe! I can see, I can smell! I'm aliiive!”

 

Punch! “Keep it down bro.” muttered his unhappily woken sister before she shuffled her feet back to bed.

 

Rubbing his sore head, Kuwabara mumbled something about how lucky his sister was not to be worried about knowing you had a fifty percent chance of dying. Sighing, he quickly got dressed and hurried to school, impatient to see Yusuke and celebrate life.

 

~*~

A long, soft, relieved sigh filled Koenma's office as he rubbed his temples. “That's one giant mess avoided.” he whispered, gulping at the thought of all of Japan dying randomly and the implications that would mean.

 

“Ohayo!” smiled a hyper Botan, swinging the door wide open.

 

“Good morning to you too Botan, just keep it down.” replied a not too happy Koenma.

 

“What's the matter? Shouldn't you be ecstatic the world is no longer in danger?” blinked the Grim -but really happy- Reaper.

 

Another sigh escaped Koenma's lips, “I suppose... but the demons who planned this will want her back. They know she's the one that has all the powers now and what's more annoying is that she's in a coma!” whined the toddler, tugging at his hat until it covered his cheeks down to his chin.

 

Botan looked depressed and sighed as well, “Yes that's true but... there must be a way to wake her up. I'll look into it, Koenma sir!” she smiled and ran off to the giant library.

 

'Yes... There must be a way... A very-- unique way...' thought Koenma, pondering over the facts. Maybe he should contact Hiei for more details.

 

~*~

“Isn't it great to be alive, Urameshi?” grinned Kuwabara, elbowing his friend in the ribs.

 

“Yeah, yeah... whatever.” yawned Yusuke, scratching his head absentmindedly. “So great I'm ditching again.” he grinned wickedly and abruptly turned around, heading away from the school.

 

Kuwabara blinked confusedly, “Hey! You can't do that! Keiko will have your head on a platter in no time!” shouted Kuwabara from the gate.

 

Yusuke just waved a hand over his shoulder, “I survived until today, one more day shouldn't be a problem.” he called back.

 

Twitch. A short intake of breath before, “YUSUKE!!” yelled Keiko at the top of her lungs before stomping over to her childhood friend, who froze on the sidewalk, cringing at the yell.

 

“Speaking of the devil.” he sweat dropped and turned around, one hand on the back of his head, “I was just about to come get you...” he said unconvincingly. Keiko glared at him and grabbed his ear lobe, twisting it before she tugged on it and led him through the gate that way.

 

“Ow ow ow! Damn Keiko let go! This hurts!” groaned Yusuke, making painful faces as people on the school laughed at them passing.

 

Kuwabara just grinned at his friend's misfortune, it was always so entertaining. “Told ya so.” he muttered to himself and followed them.

 

~*~

Hiei was peacefully looking down on the humans -what he does best after all- when a portal opened above him and two strong demons grabbed him suddenly.

 

He was taken by surprise, yet if he had wanted to, he could have killed them both. But he sensed no evil intentions. He just hoped they weren't taking him where he thought they would.

 

“Welcome, Hiei.” smiled Koenma.

 

Shrugging the demons off, Hiei sighed, “Hn. I knew it.”

 

“After you so kindly declined to come on your own, I thought I should use brute force, it seems to work best on stubborn demons.” sarcastically replied Koenma.

 

The short fire demon said nothing and looked away, crossing his arms over his chest, waiting to hear the reason he was brought here.

 

“I need details on how you found the girl. And by details I mean everything that you saw. You have ten minutes. Go.” seriously stated Koenma, clicking on a timer as well as a recorder to tape everything that was to be said.

 

Hiei heaved another sigh but proceeded to narrate what had happened as minutely accurate as he could.

 

(1) ... I think... right? I know it's Reikai, but I watched the Ninku movie (well the YYH part) and it said something about that... If it's not right I'll fix it!

~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~

Don't say anything, I know the school thing was random but, I felt like writing it... for some reason... I hope the rest of the chapter was more appropriate plot wise. ^^; So much for me making it longer... but here's a good place to stop since it's not really a cliffy and you already know what happened, hence I can skip in the next chapter!

 

I can't believe I wrote this in two days!! I'm really inspired right now, lets hope it stays that way. And you know one way to help my creativity? That's right! Review! Oh wait-- scratch that. I gave up on trying to force people reviewing... So just hope for an update! :P

KasaiKage: Hahaha your review made me crack up! ^^;; Lol for Hiei though, that I admit. :P I won't use Kuwahara, I wouldn't switch in the middle of a story but ok, I'll stick to the English version of the names. xD Hehe, well besides that, I'll update... tomorrow or sometime since I already have the next chapter... Wait, but when you read this, it's already up! Bwah... >.> Thanks for reviewing and making me laugh!

 

DamnBlackHeart: Whee!! Well I sort of... know what's going to happen... I had an idea for the end a couple days ago (not that I'm ending it right this second) but yeah... I'm debating... *glomps plushies* What's sad is-- I actually have a Hiei plushie ^^;; Hehe. Thanks for reviewing!

silver_wolf: Aw, no!! I swear that's not the intent! But... um... I just-- forget to update... >.> Which is why you remind me! ^^;; Riight? ._. It sounds like you liked it o.o Therefore, I shall update for you! Thanks for reviewing, makes me happy inside. ^^
