Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Healing Touch ❯ A test and a chest ( Chapter 4 )

** I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho, only my own character Rika and all other original characters. Although if I did own Yu Yu Hakusho I might be able to afford my college tuition. Please read and review so I know that people actually like this.

 

 

Rika walked through the portal into Koenma's office. Yusuke had told her about the prince's toddler form, so she wasn't surprised at all to see a three foot boy with a pacifier sitting behind the desk. But she saw in his eyes the worry and responsibility he carried. It seemed that Yusuke had never noticed the heavy burden the prince carried on his shoulders.

“Ahh, you've brought her. That was very quick. My name is-“

“Prince Koenma, son of Yama, in charge of Spirit world and protecting the Human world. Yea, I know. Can we get on with this?” Rika felt a little bit guilty for cutting him off so rudely, but she was in no mood to go through the motions of polite society.

Koenma looked surprised that she knew so much about him but said nothing. “Certainly, but I'll need your name first miss, since you seem to know mine.”

Yusuke answered him before Rika could. “ Her name is Rika Urameshi, she's my cousin. I never told anyone about her because I was trying to protect her. She has healing powers which is probably why the asshole mystery demon is after her. “

Koenma raised an eyebrow at Yusuke's irritable tone. “Something bothering you Yusuke?”

“ Like I said, an asshole mystery demon is after my cousin, a possessed kid just tossed a knife at her, and my jaw hurts like hell.”

Koenma merely looked at them all. A lot had happened in the hours since he had told Kurama, Hiei and Kuwabara about the situation. He looked at Rika. She didn't look like much and he sensed a mixture of pulsing anger and sadness coming from her. And coincidentally the same feelings were coming from Yusuke. Interesting. “ Very well. As of now, I have no further information on this demon's identity. Nor any indication of why he's looking for you. Though this revelation about your powers is certainly a head start. Genkai called a few minutes ago.” He informed them. Everyone but Rika looked surprised. “ She didn't tell me who you were but that you had trained with her. I'd like to see your power.”

Rika shrugged, not caring. She'd expected Genkai to do something like this. Of course her teacher had sensed that she was in danger. “ Whatever.”

Kurama noticed how nonchalant she seemed. Her fight with Yusuke must've tired her out mentally. “ How do you suggest we go about that Koenma?”

Koenma got up “ Follow me and you shall see. “ He led them out of his office and down a corridor.

Rika walked by Kuwabara, barely noticing her surroundings. Even she was shocked by the things she'd said on the roof. She hadn't even been aware of how she truly felt until Yusuke had pissed her off. This is why, she thought morosely, I should try harder not to lose my temper. It never ends well. Now things are awkward between me and Yusuke. She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't notice Yusuke coming up behind her. He poked her in her side, at the one spot where she was ticklish. “EEEEK!!” she squealed in a high pitch voice. Everyone turned to stare at her while Yusuke fell to the ground in a fit of giggles. Rika decided it was better to laugh than to be mad and joined him. Kuwabara, knowing exactly what happened started laughing too.

“What are you idiots laughing at?” Hiei asked disdainfully.

Rika leaned down and pulled Yusuke up from the floor and hugged him. He looked surprised for a moment the returned the hug. “Love you, midget.” He whispered.

“I love you too, jerk face” Rika told him smiling.

Botan looked like she were about to cry. Kurama smiled and Hiei grimaced. Koenma coughed. “If we could dispense with tender embraces?”

Yusuke laughed “Whatever you say toddler.”

Koenma chose to ignore that last request as he led them to a very large golden door with inscriptions on it. He easily pushed in open and led them inside a large room. It looked like a sparring and training hall. A young man stood in the middle of the tiled circled that was the sparring ring. He was a least a half a head taller than Kuwabara, lean but muscular with long blue hair that reached past his waist. He was wearing very simple clothes, a grey shirt and black pants. He's beautiful, Rika thought. His eyes are so blue, it's impossible that he could be human.

“This is Kenta, a warrior in my father's army. Rika, if you would kindly step into the sparring ring?” Koenma asked.

“What's going on here Koenma? “ Yusuke demanded. He looked at the warrior in the ring with suspicion. What the hell was the toddler planning?

Kurama tensed as he felt the spirit energy of the mysterious warrior staring at Rika. He was so much stronger than her. “Isn't it obvious Yusuke? Koenma wants Rika to fight him.”

“No way!” Kuwabara shouted. “Over my dead body!”

“It could be arranged” Hiei suggested evilly, almost smiling.

Kuwabara turned to Hiei. “Keep it up Shorty and I'll smash your face in!”

All during the argument, Rika silently removed her shoes and stepped into the sparring ring. “If you'll all stop arguing, I'm already here” she called to them.

“How does she do that?” Botan wondered, having no idea how Rika had gotten to the ring without anyone noticing.

“What? The thing where she suddenly turns up somewhere and no one sees her?” Kuwabara asked. Botan nodded.

“We've got no idea but she's been doing it since the kindergarten.” Yusuke answered. It was an annoying habit.

“Koenma sir?” the warrior called, speaking for the first time. His gaze had never left Rika in the entire exchange. He looked at her now and it made her shiver.

“Yes, yes. Rika I want you to force Kenta out of the ring using your spirit energy. Kent, the same goes for you in regards to Rika.”

The warrior looked confused but nodded. Then his spirit energy was whirling around his, bright and powerful.

Rika smiled as her hair flew in the wind caused by Kenta's spirit energy. He's not even at full power, she realized, he's trying to take it easy on me. She shocked everyone then when she laughed. “You shouldn't underestimate me just because of my size you know” she told him. Then she reached inside herself and drew her spirit energy about her. Bright blue energy engulfed her as it flowed toward Kenta `s dark green spirit energy. Bright blue and dark green fought each other in the center of the ring, both trying to gain ground and both losing it.

“What the hell?” Yusuke yelled. “She's stronger than me!!”

The group watched as Rika powered up even more in an attempt to push Kenta out of the ring. How was it possible Kurama thought in bewilderment. So small, so beautiful, and yet so powerful. Rika was full of surprises.

Rika smiled. There was no way she was going to be able to push him out of the ring with her spirit energy alone. Even with only half of his power, Kenta was stronger than she was at full power. So how to trick the beautiful and serious warrior? she wondered. She felt the wind tugging at her shirt, and smiled evilly as an idea came into her head. Her arms were held at her sides, as if she were getting ready for a fight. She lifted her arms high in the air and the massive amounts of wind caused by both her and Kenta's battling energies forced her shirt to fly off of her body, leaving her topless and bare. Kenta gaped as he saw her torso clad only in a lacy white bra and Rika used that one moment of surprise to find the weak link in his spirit energy and thrust her own at it. With a final look of disbelief, he went flying out of the ring and into the wall. Rika laughed in triumph.

Then she turned to see Yusuke's face, his mouth wide open in shock. Kuwabara's face was pretty much the same. She laughed again. “ Is something wrong?” she asked innocently. She left the ring and went to stand in front of them.

“ What the hell was that?” Yusuke demanded finally coming to his senses.

Kurama watched the exchange in stunned silence. He held Rika's shirt from when he'd caught it in the wind. He could smell her scent on it, refreshing like lavender. Her skin was smooth and creamy, perfect. And her breasts… they were plump and perfect, like large peaches. He felt heat coursing through his veins to certain area down below. He blinked as he saw Rika coming toward him, a vision of beauty. Her soft lips were moving and he was mesmerized. Wait what was she saying?

“ Kurama, could I have my shirt?” He looked at her oddly and silently handed it over. She took it and pulled it over her head. “ Thanks, I was getting cold.”

She smiled at him then and all of his senses went blank. Her deep brown eyes twinkled like stars and her dark hair shined in the light. What has gotten into me? was all that he could think of in that moment.
