Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Fire or Ice? ❯ Which Side Will Take Control? ( Chapter 2 )

OK, I've been thinking, and well I don't know if I want this to be a Hiei and oc, or a Kurama and oc. So, I'll let you decide. Tell me in the reviews for the next two chapters, and than whatever the outcome is, I'll write it with whoever the winner is. And please give me some more reviews, I only have three for this story so far, the most for any of my stories. So please r&r.

Chapter two

Which side will take control?

 

Archer woke up late the next day, in a bed. She shot up, and jumped out of the bed, and fell to the floor.

 

“Where in the hell am I?”

 

“You're at Genkai's temple”, a voice said from the corner of the room.

 

She looked up from her spot on the floor, to see Hiei.

 

“Hiei?”

 

“Hn.”

 

“What am I doing here?”

 

“Do you remember anything about last night?”

 

“Um, no. Why?”

 

“Take a look at yourself.”

 

“Why in the hell would-”

 

She looked down at herself, and noticed what he was talking about. Her skin was a dark black, and her hair was red. She jumped up, and started to poke at her skin, and pull at her hair. She than noticed how her clothes were almost burned completely off. They showed her stomach, legs, and arms.

 

“What the f-”

 

“Kurama, and the others want to talk to you.”

 

She looked up and stared at him. Her eyes were still cold, no matter what color they were.

 

“Why should I trust you guys?”

 

“I never said you had to trust us”, he said, as he walked out of the door.

 

She stared after him, and than followed him.

 

'Why didn't he run when he saw me', she thought to herself, as she followed him into another room.

 

The others looked up from their seats as they entered the room.

 

“Arc, are you all right”, Keiko asked with a worried look on her face.

 

“Why aren't you running from me”, she asked with a confused look on her face.

 

“Why would we run from you”, Yusuke asked.

 

“Look at me”, she whispered.

 

“You look fine to me”, Kuwabara said, while grinning.

 

“Archer, we need to talk to you about something”, Kurama said.

 

She sat down on the couch next to Kuwabara and Yusuke.

 

“Archer, you are a demon. I myself am one, as is Hiei. Yusuke's half demon and human, and Keiko and Kuwabara are regular humans. But, Kuwabara has spiritual powers.”

 

She stared at him with a blank expression on her face, as he explained everything about Makai, and Koenma, and their mission. Everything there ever was to know about all of them, and herself. When he was done telling her everything, instead of feeling relieved that she wasn't alone, she felt other things stir inside of her. Her anger, and loneliness returned, and clashed within her, battling it out to see who would take control of her body.

 

“So, that's why you were pretending to be my friends? All of you?”

 

“No, Arc, it's not like that-”

 

“Shut up! Just shut up! I'm sick of people's lies. I don't want to hear them anymore!”

 

She closed her eyes, as her body began to catch on fire again. Yusuke and Kuwabara moved away from her, as she started to set the couch on fire. But, just as quickly as they appeared, they started to extinguish, as gusts of ice and wind swirled around her body. As if protecting her from the lies.

 

Her eyes turned a snowy white, as her hair went from red to white. Her skin went back to it's normal color, as her body stiffened. The winds ceased, but the coldness around the room was intense, as glass broke, and shattered around them. Leaving them in the darkness.

 

She lay still, her eyes fogged over with white clouds. Her body didn't move, as her mind toyed with her.

 

“What's wrong with her”, Kuwabara asked, while shaking from the cold.

 

“She's confused. Her demon blood doesn't know which form to take.”

 

Arc sat there, as she wandered in her mind.

 

-She lay there, underneath the water, gasping for air. She was choking on the water as it filled her mouth and nose, burning it's way down her throat. What she saw on the other side, made her choke down the water even more.

 

There, stood all of her friends, her father, and her ex-boyfriend. Everyone that had ever betrayed her. They all stood there, watching her drown, doing nothing to help her. The water around her began to freeze over, and she broke free, as her whole body grew fiery. She stood, facing them, as the sky around them grew cloudy, and gray.-

 

“Should we help her”, Yusuke asked.

 

“And how do we do that”, Keiko asked.

 

“I'll do it”, Hiei announced, as he sat on the floor in front of her, and lay his hand on her own, closing his eyes.

 

-They all stared at her, looking like zombies. All, except for Hiei. He walked towards her, and tried to place a hand on her shoulder, but she stumbled back. Her eyes taking on a complete blackness, as she rose in the air. White and red electricity shocked around her body.

 

She looked down at everyone, and lifted her hand in the air. With a flick of her wrist, a wave of the electricity shot out of her hand, and struck forward. Everyone was hit by the impact of it, except for Hiei, who had jumped out of the way. She was about to do it again, but a blur of red and orange dashed forward and grabbed her wrist.

 

She stared into the eyes of a young fire maiden, who's eyes were a mixture of red and gold. Her face looked so... familiar. Like her own. Another figure dashed forward, a man with blue hair, and white eyes. He stood behind the woman, and looked at Arc.

 

Hiei dashed forward. He didn't know who these people were, and he didn't know what they might do to her mind if they kept this up. But, the man blocked his path. A thick wall of ice formed around them, keeping Hiei out. He tried to break through, but as soon as he touched it, a thick block of ice threw him back, throwing him out of her mind.-

 

Hiei went flying back, and hit the wall behind him. They all stared at Hiei as he hit the wall, and landed on his butt on the ground. He rubbed the back of his head as he stood up.

 

“Hiei, are you all right”, Kurama and Keiko asked at the same time.

 

“Hn.”

 

“What happened”, Yusuke asked.

 

“I think... someone's spirits are in there.”

 

-“Archer, the woman began, why are you doing this?”

 

She said nothing, as they both looked at her with worry in their eyes.

 

“Please stop this”, the man said, as he wrapped his arms around her, hugging her. She stood there, in the air of her mind, as the clouds started to slowly fade away, as well as the blackness in her eyes.

 

“Father”, she whispered.

 

“Yes, we're here now. We'll never leave you again.”

 

Her mother came up and hugged them both.

 

“W-where have you been”, she asked quietly.

 

“I'm sorry we left you, but, it was not of our choice. Ruri... she was the one who separated us”, her father said.

 

“Ruri?”

 

“A demon lord of Makai. She hates men, human and demon alike. She wanted your father dead, and wanted me to help her. I refused, and so she sent her slaves after us. She also... wants you”, her mother said, while clutching her fists.

 

“Why”, she asked as they pulled away from each other.

 

“She wants someone strong, a woman, to rule by her side.”, her father said, less emotion in his voice, and eyes.

 

“What am I going to do?”

 

“We will help protect you, once again. I'm sorry, our dear Archer, but we do not have much time. We will not be able to return with you, but we always be with you.”

 

“Why can't you come back? Please don't leave me again”, she almost screamed.

 

“We will be with you, always”, her mother said, as they disappeared.

 

The air grew dark around her, as she searched in vain for them. She looked out into the darkness, and saw something... white and red rushing towards her. A dragon, with flames hurtling around it came rushing towards her.

 

She didn't move, as it came into contact with her body. The force of it knocked her back, as a tattoo of a white dragon with flames surrounding it winded up her arm.

 

Her parents whispered a , “I love you”, into her ear as her eyes closed, and her mind drifted off to sleep.-

 

Archer's eyes went back to their normal color, and than closed, as her hair turned back into it's normal blue. Everyone got in really close to her face, as she started to fall to the side of the couch.

 

Kurama grabbed her, and smiled as he noted that she was just sleeping.
