Chapter Two:Introduction To Power

 

 

Genkai watched the girl before her a level of maternal instinct. The girl had long straight sea foam green hair and lethargic grey eyes that made any one feel at rest when looking at her. Genkai had introduced Yukina to the new girl and the two easily communicated in their small-talk sort of way.

 

“Emi-san, why don't you tell me about yourself?” Yukina asked. Emi looked up from her tea and smiled a radiant smile at the Koorime. Genkai noticed how peaceful Emi seemed, despite the attempt at her life. It was unnerving to some degree.

 

“Well, my parents separated when I was little and I went to live with my mother while my two brothers went to live with my father. My father lives in Europe while my mom and I live here. I like to read and I've known about my gifts since I was a child.” Emi said softly. Yukina smiled. She was enjoying the company of someone who was new and full of information.

 

“Oh, I knew too. I was raised around people like myself though.” Yukina replied. Emi smiled again, saying something while saying nothing.

 

“Emi, how did you know where to go?” Genkai asked the girl. Emi looked up at the Master and tilted her head.

 

“Master Genkai, you have company.” Emi pronounced and when she finished, Genkai could hear the front door open and close and the entire Tante shuffled into the temple. The girl's hearing was fabulous.

 

“Yo, old hag, where's this chi….chick….” Yusuke walked into the dining room and let his jaw drop. The girl was sitting at the table, drinking tea with Yukina. Her bright sea foam hair was the first thing that caught Yusuke's eyes. It was hard to miss. Kuwabara pushed Yusuke aside so that the rest of the boys could file in and see the new girl. Every one of them stopped and stared at the girl's long, odd hair.

 

“Oh. You must be the Tante.” The girl said. Kurama noticed how light and airy her voice was. It was a dreamy sort of voice that left ears ringing with bells. He was the first to step forward and introduce himself.

 

“Hello, my name is Kurama. And you are?” He asked. The girl smiled a sweet smile and looked Kurama up and down.

 

“Emi. Emi Wakita.” Emi said. She looked over all the boys, collecting her data. Black hair, brown eyes equaled Yusuke, the bad boy fighter who was considered a punk. Carrot hair was Kuwabara, he was like her. Crimson hair and fluid voice equaled Kurama, the ever famous Youko Kurama. And then there was the gravity defying black hair with crimson eyes. That was Hiei. She knew their names, the sound of their voices, and their pasts. He wanted her to find them. He wanted her to meet them. He wanted her to try and let them protect her. It was a part of the game.

 

“I'm--” Yusuke began, but was cut off.

 

“Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei.” Emi said as she pointed to each of the boys besides Kurama. Botan crept behind Yusuke and smiled nervously.

 

“See what I mean? She's too calm, eerily calm, and she knows EVERYTHING!” Botan whispered to Yusuke. He nodded silently and looked at the boys who were beginning to get aggravated. Emi closed her mouth and looked back at her tea. Kurama was impressed at how the girl knew everyone's name before they had even entered the room.

 

{Perhaps Master Genkai had told her of us?}Kurama said to himself.

 

{Yeah, maybe…} Youko replied sarcastically.

 

“Emi-san, perhaps you could help me prepare dinner for tonight?” Yukina asked graciously. Emi nodded and flashed another smile, drawing everyone in. Kurama watched the two girls leave. Their hair color was the same, and it was startling to see it on another person. Kurama did notice that Emi's eyes were a dark shade of grey that made him feel like he was floating in half of something and half of nothing.

 

{I must be going crazy…} Kurama said.

 

{Hnn.} Hiei replied.

 

{What do you think of her?} Kurama asked his partner.

 

{She's different. Too calm. Too… different.} Hiei contemplated. He could feel her energy, a soft hue of grey that crept up onto him and sat square on his shoulders so that it was weighing him down. She was too calm for his taste. It annoyed him, unnerved him, and made him want to shake the girl. Didn't she know that her life was at stake? Hiei wondered if the girl was even the right one. How did Koenma know that this girl was the next victim? Hiei didn't trust the girl's word. Not while she acted like…

 

{Like you?} Kurama threw in, paying attention to Hiei's internal conversation.

 

{Shut up fox.} Hiei replied.

 

“What do you think?” Genkai asked the boys as they sat at the table. Kuwabara sighed and looked at the kitchen door where Yukina was cooking with the strange new girl.

 

“She's different. Beautiful hair color, just like Yukina's, but not anything like her. She's too at ease with everything going on. Hey! Did you tell her our names before we came in and maybe a bit about what we look like? Because that was just creepy!” Kuwabara mentioned. Everyone looked at Master Genkai as she shook her head no.

 

“I did not actually. Right before you came in, she told me I had company. Then you idiots walked in. It's a strange gift to have, to be clairvoyant.” Genkai confessed. Yusuke eyed Genkai carefully.

 

“I don't know if I like the whole clairvoyant thing. It's weird.” Yusuke confessed.

 

“So she's different! Big deal! She's still pretty cool!” A voice came from the front door. The gang turned around to see Koenma in his teen form, standing with a suitcase in his hand.

 

“Oh yeah toddler!?” Yusuke challenged. Koenma glared at Yusuke.

 

“You don't know her at all. I wouldn't go judging this one. She's very powerful…” Koenma said as he dropped the suitcase and walked into the dining room.

 

“She's a freaking stone wall! With smiles!” Yusuke yelled at the Prince. Kurama rolled his eyes. The girl was likely to hear him in the kitchen. Quickly, he darted into the kitchen to distract the girl. He found Yukina making dinner.

 

“Emi-san went outside to avoid the argument. She said there was going to be a bit of a commotion.” Yukina told the fox. She knew that Emi was different, but so was everyone else at the temple and Yukina wouldn't judge the girl. Kurama could feel his shame at judging Emi himself rise to the surface. He quickly strode over towards the back door and opened it. He stepped into the crisp fall air and found Emi sitting on the edge of the porch with her back towards the temple. Her hair almost glowed in the night.

 

“I know I'm different… I always have been… but don't you think that as someone who is also different, that perhaps you of all people is in no position to judge another?” Emi said quietly, with no malice or ill-intention in her voice at all. Kurama sighed and sat next to her. He nodded and looked at her profile.

 

“Yes. I'm sorry. Please, don't let everyone make you feel that way.” Kurama apologized. He didn't mean to make her feel the way everyone was thinking. It was weird that she could pick up on the main thought in the room.

 

“How do you do it?” He asked her. Emi turned to look at him. The edges of her eyes were a rim of black. They sucked Kurama in and made him feel depthless.

 

“I just concentrate.” She said. Emi smiled at him, knowing that he would be her best bet.

 

“What can you do?” Kurama asked honestly. Emi shrugged.

 

“Sometimes, what ever I want.” She said. Kurama found the girl easy to sit with. There were riddles and games to play and the Youko inside of him enjoyed the extra effort the girl was putting out to play.

 

{I could get used to this!} Youko purred. Kurama sighed.

 

“They're done arguing. They think I've run away and that you've gone after me. I suppose we should go in?” Emi honestly asked Kurama. She left it up to the kitsune to choose. He nodded.

 

“Yes, we should.”
