Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Rock My World ❯ Hostile Takeover ( Chapter 26 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

DC-chan: I’m in a bad mood, I’ve been going in and out of what my therapist says is clinical depression and my dad’s an ass…that’s kind of the reason I didn’t update for awhile.

MCT: Neh, I thought you were just being a lazy piece of *bleep*

DC-chan: The reason why I’m upset is because I was basically told by my stupid doctor that I’m stuck being 4’11 for the rest of my life when he told me a year ago that I’d make it past five feet. I really hate being short because people remind you everyday and I’m like NO REALLY? I didn’t notice that I don’t even reach your shoulder! With that being said, PLEASE be nice to short people because being short sucks and people don’t choose to be short!

MCT: At least you’re not a demented cat that’s part of some depressed girl’s imagination.

DC-chan: Ehehe. I feel better now. ^-^

Disclaimer: If I did own YYH it would be called Sexy Youkai of Makai and be a strip show featuring Hiei, Kurama and Jin. X3

MCT: Totemo baka ne?

Chapter 26 of Rock My World

Hostile Takeover

Genkai poured the tea into two cups at the table with her legs folded under her. It had been an exceptionally chilly day thus far, but actually it wasn’t day anymore it was night. So it had just been plain cold and still was cold. She didn’t think anything was peculiar about this though. The only thing on her mind was the upcoming apocalypse and how she wasn’t looking forward to it.

She placed the blue china pot in the middle of the table and continued to wait patiently as one would do when they were expecting company because its rude to drink before the person you’re waiting gets there. Although she was really thirsty and was hoping her guest would get to her temple soon.

Her gaze dropped to the filled tea cup below her and scent of it soon filled her nose and it was still steaming. She felt the warmth it was emitting as she put her hand over it to distract herself from staring mindlessly at it. How could she think about drinking tea at a time like this anyway?

She heard the screen door slide open, “It’s good to see you Genkai.”

Genkai looked up and tried to smile gently. “It’s been awhile Rika.” It had been awhile too, the last time she had seen Kira’s mother had been right after her granddaughter had been born. Though she hadn’t mentioned that to Kira and Rika at the time seemed adamant that Genkai should stay away from her for certain reasons that will be explained shortly.

“I never imagined seeing you again,” the young woman replied taking off of her shoes and taking off her jacket and folding it over her arm before sitting down across from Genkai.

Genkai’s eyebrow twitched, “Don’t worry, it’s mutual.” She took a sip of tea and savored the hot liquid slipping down her throat. She then placed the cup down and put her hands on the table with a somber expression. “We need to talk.”

“I know.” Rika nodded not even touching the cup of tea before her or glancing at it.

“Remember what I told you after you had Kira?” Genkai asked solemnly.

“Of course, I thought you were psychotic for trying to convince me of that.” Rika pushed a lock of black hair out of her face and sat up straighter. “It’s not everyday that an old woman tries to convince a young mother that her daughter is the offspring of a hanyou.”

Genkai lowered her eyelids and heaved a sigh at that statement, “It was the truth. Even you noticed her…abnormalities. Like the natural crimson bangs, her aggression and so on. It seems those youkai traits presented themselves over time and it became obvious she wasn’t normal.”

Rika hid a smirk, “Even if my daughter was completely human she still wouldn’t be normal. That’s juts Kira. But it’s hard to imagine that…he was a hanyou. He was so sweet and kind, her father I mean.” Her eyes glazed over as if remembering a wonderful dream. “He was…just perfect. I nearly jumped for joy when I noticed she had his eyes, those soft brown eyes…your eyes.”

The psychic’s face became tender for a fleeting moment. Her son, the son she had never meet besides when he was a newborn, was truly loved and missed dearly. From what she had heard he had been a college student at Tokyo University and had met Rika there. Other than that she didn’t know much about his adoptive parents or anything else. He had been completely oblivious to his demonic heritage like Kira had been up until six months ago.

“But…” Rika pressed when realizing that neither of them had said a word for a few minutes. “Was there a reason you called me here?”

Genkai snapped out of her own thoughts then said, “It’s a matter concerning Kira and the others.”

Rika arched her eyebrows, “Kira…and the others?” She narrowed her eyes, “What have you gotten her into Genkai? Is it something dangerous? What is it?” She stood up with clenched fists, “Where’s Kira?”

Genkai took a deep breathe and took a huge swallow of tea, “You might want to sit down for this Rika…”

*~*

Kira was laughing manically now. The sound of deranged laughter bounced off the walls and rang in the detectives’ ears.

“What’s…wrong with Kamiyama?” Kuwabara asked Kurama quietly. There was nothing funny going on so he wondered what the hell she could be laughing about.

She been like that for awhile now with everyone staring silently at her. It was clear to them, excluding Kuwabara, that she was possessed and it wasn’t her laughing like an insane person technically. The situation had gone from bad to extremely serious as of now. No one had even made an effort to move anywhere close to her, but then again she was a container for Shikyo, a very bad ass youkai in the days, so who in the right mind would?

They watched as she…it stopped and slowly rose up. Her…it’s creepy red eyes flashed around the room. It sneered evilly at the three detectives and spoke in an inhuman voice, “Flunkies, huh? Reikai Tantei too no less. It looks like two humans and a pissed off kitsune.”

It was true, Kurama was not only pissed, but thoroughly infuriated at what had happened. He had promised Kira he would protect her and he couldn’t. There was still a chance to bring Kira back though, it would take about a day or two until her spirit was expelled from her body and sent into oblivion where they would have no chance of ever bringing her back.

“Hm?” It blinked at them. It may have looked like Kira and be in her body, but there was no way that Kira was present now. Everyone could feel the intense youki Shikyo was giving off, the foreboding and dark power was like a constant wave of tension over them. It craned its neck to get a better look at them, “You look angry.”

Yusuke gritted his teeth and rolled his eyes, “No shit Sherlock! That’s our friend who you’re in!” Kira wasn’t exactly his friend, but he was a protective guy PLUS this Shikyo guy was out to destroy the world and that never sat well with him. There was always some demon who got a big head about unleashing destruction upon Ningenkai and Reikai, but this guy was different…Yusuke couldn’t quite place it.

Shikyo didn’t seem concerned by that, he was looking over the body over that he was in. His analysis from his scan was that this girl was just another pathetic human. But wait? What was this hidden power he could feel leaking from deep within her? He could sense the youkai blood in her boiling. He wouldn’t be able to stay in this body long if it continued. Her inner youkai might be able to push him out, he needed to act quickly and get to the human world. This presence of youki within her might cause problems soon.

He walked over to the ruins where an unconscious Sagan was laying. After the ritual all the Sage’s powers had been sapped for the time being and were sleeping amidst the rubble of the Spirit Temple. He bent down and placed a hand on the dragon’s head. His hand began to glow a dark purple as he transferred some of his youki to Sagan. Suddenly, in a reaction to using his powers the human flesh on the arm started deteriorating and a brown arm with visible pulsating veins and sharp claws emerged.

Ah, it’s starting…Shikyo thought sneering to himself. He knew the process, in addition to the girl’s soul slipping away the body he was in would peel away and reveal his own body parts.

When he removed his hand there was a seal on the dragon’s forehead of a small cross in the center of a circle. “Now,” Shikyo said in an orderly voice, “rise my servant.” This seal would prevent whomever he placed it on from disobeying him and doing whatever he asked of them. He had used it on countless demons and humans alike in the past during his last attempt to bring the end of the worlds. It also allowed him to crush their spirits in a second if he felt like it, he owned whoever made that seal on them.

Instantly, Sagan’s eyes shot open. It took the dazed dragon a moment to realize what was going on, but when he did he stood up quickly and bowed before the superior youkai. “Shikyo-sama,” he whispered admiringly, “I’ve awaited this day for so-”

“Shut up you bastard!” Shikyo snarled. “We must get to the human world and I have little time and patience. I have something you must do for me.”

The dragon looked rebuffed by this though he held his tongue.

Shikyo peered over his shoulder at the detectives, “It seems you’ve failed on your little crusade. You failed to save this girl and now Ningenkai is going to meet it’s end as well. Soon there will be nothing left, but a vast wasteland of Makai filled with savage youkai. Won’t that be fun?” He put his hand on Sagan’s shoulder and in the blink of an eye they vanished in a puff of smoke.

Kuwabara spazzed, “What the hell just happened? Why does he want to go to Ningenkai?” He was the only one he hadn’t finally caught on to the fact that almost every demon had the aspiration to rule the world.

Kurama bit his lip, this wasn’t good. This was absolutely terrible. He couldn’t believe that this was happening, it was too surreal. “We have to get back as soon as possible.” He was trying to keep his emotions under the surface, he wanted to keep his cool. Panicking wouldn’t be helping anyone and everyone second they spent standing there dumbfounded wasted precious time to at least try to save what was left of Kira.

Hiei came up behind them with blood dripping from his katana, “Did I miss anything important?”

“Of course you bastard!” Kuwabara berated him loudly and pointing his finger at him. “Where the hell were you?”

“Killing idiots from getting inside of the Spirit Temple, moron.” Hiei retorted esoterically because he was just cool like that and he knew Kuwabara would never understand that.

Yusuke shuffled his feet, “We’re screwed, aren’t we?” Even though that totally pointed out the obvious dilemma they were facing.

Kurama thought about that. He didn’t want to agree with him right off the back, but it was certainly looking that way. Kira…She wasn’t exactly gone yet, if her spirit was strong enough she might be able to fight off the demonic possession, but this was Shikyo…a youkai higher than S class, or so from he had heard. He walked over to where Hosaki was and picked her up in his arms, “First things first, we need to take the other Sages back to Reikai. We’ll formulate a plan there.”

“How can you be so god damn clam?” Yusuke questioned the fox dryly as he pushed a piece off of Koyuki. The blue haired demoness whimpered, but didn’t wake.

“As I said earlier, Kira was of a youkai lineage that’s quite prestigious.” Kurama began saying.

“Yeah, so?” Kuwabara scoffed as he came back with Hikaru slung over his shoulder. It didn’t make any sense to him why they should wait. Shikyo needed to be taken out right away in his personal opinion. His sixth sense sent shivers down his spine as he merely thought of the name of that demon.

As Kurama made his way to the staircase, carefully stepping over broken bits of the walls, “Her grandfather was Enshoku, a powerful S class youkai at the time. Enshoku was the son of another even more powerful youkai,” he paused for a second before finishing, “a youkai named Raizen.”

Hiei seemed mildly attracted to that tidbit of news, “Raizen as in one of the three rulers of Makai?”

Kurama nodded briskly, “She’s his greatgranddaughter.”

Yusuke’s and Kuwabara’s jaws almost hit the floor. They didn’t know exactly what that meant yet, but it sounded like she was related to someone VERY important and Raizen was important because he was one of the three rulers of Makai. It doesn’t get much more important than that except for maybe Enma and Konema…maybe.

They were about to leave then Hiei remarked in an apathetic tone, “Kokuei and Rakura aren’t here.” Not that he cared, he just thought Kurama would like to know that. After all, both of those idiots could cause more unnecessary trouble for them if they randomly popped up again. He didn’t like the prospect of dealing with more idiots when he didn’t feel like it.

“We’ll worry about that later,” Yusuke said following Kurama after he recovered from shock. “We’ve got to get to Reikai first.”

It was then Kurama noticed the black stone necklace laying on the ground, carefully kneeling down as so not to drop the fire demoness he picked it up and tucked it into one of his pockets.

*~*

“YOU LET KIRA GO WHERE AND DO WHAT?” Rika shouted at Genkai still standing up. “How could you? She’s a child! How could you make her do something so dangerous and not tell me about it!”

“I didn’t make her go,” Genkai pointed out. “She choose to go on her own free will.” It was true, Kira had agreed to go by herself though she had no clue about the risk. Genkai might have stopped her, but she had the Reikai Tantei with her so she trusted that her granddaughter was safe with the dimwit and the others.

Rika stomped her foot, “Genkai! She doesn’t know any better something and terrible could happen to her! She could be killed in Makai! I’m surprised that you’d let her do such things! I know she’s reckless, but what you were preparing her for was putting her own life in risk! She’s your granddaughter! Don’t you care?”

Genkai felt like this was a bad time to bring up the fact that Kira was doomed to die no matter what her mother said. The Sage Youkai probably would’ve found her on their own and use her as the sacrifice to revive the ultimate power. Genkai and Koenma had told Kurama this, but what they had left out was that even though there were other psychics in the world it had to have been Kira. To put it simply, the girl was ill fated even if she never returned to Japan. Kira was the only psychic that would’ve been stable enough handle the power without dieing instantly because of her youkai blood, but that blood could also save her…

“I do care,” Genkai said quietly. “Don’t insinuate that I don’t because I do. I really do. Kira’s as much as a part of me as she is of you no matter how bad her psychic skills are and no matter how painfully slow her progress is.”

Rika glowered at the old woman in silence before putting her jacket back on and going over to the screen door. She put her shoes back on and turned to face Genkai with her hands on her hips, “If you really did care you wouldn’t have ever let her go to Makai in the first place! If you really loved her-”

Her rampage was interrupted by a loud blast that tore a wall in the opposite wall and made her skirt fly up in the wind. The table turned over and tea spilled everywhere and stained the rug. When the smoke cleared she saw two figures standing side by side, one was short while the other was fairly tall. She recognized the smaller figure.

“Kira?” Rika sputtered as she fell to her knees. What was happening?

Genkai stood up and took a fighting stance, “Identify yourselves!” This was her temple, she wasn’t going to let some cocky as hell youkai walk right in and mess it up. Besides, she had just cleaned it the other day and now there was tea on the rug and the table, which was made of wood, was broken into pieces and the china pot and cups shattered.

“Sagan, grab that psychic!” Shikyo ordered.

Sagan obeyed and stepped forward, a sinister grin on his face. This is it, the end of the world. It’s so close I can almost taste. Shikyo can’t be beaten and once he sheds that girl’s flesh he will be even more powerful than before. And I will be his loyal servant, always by his side…

While Genkai’s body was ready to fight her eyes were saying something else. They were filled with sadness. Since the beginning, Kira’s fate had always been this. It had always been inevitably death…
