Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Running From You ❯ Dark Encounter ( Chapter 1 )

Chapter 1: Dark Encounter

 

 

The rustle of the forest floor got louder as I ran past large birch trees. The night sky was alight with the moon. Stars glared at me as I ran from him. I wouldn't go home, not to that home. I jumped over a large fallen tree as it came in my path. I could hear his messengers in my head as I ran through the heavily forested area. Bits of the rags I was wearing were getting caught and ripping off onto branches and shrubs. The cold night wind got colder and colder as I raced against time and the odds. Hesitantly I ran toward the feeling of other demons, hoping that I could start a fight and keep running. Suddenly I felt a presence right near me. It was him. I picked up my pace and dashed forward like I was dancing on wind. Which I practically was at this point, my feet were almost off the ground like I was flying higher and higher. The trees covered my presence for a bit as I hopped around in the forest so that I could try to move undetected. It had failed. I half way gave up my fast pace running as I felt the aura of other demons approach. There were three and a human with spiritual powers with them. They must have felt the fight and come to claim a prize. Looks like tonight I would have new owners.

 

“KIOKO! Get back here NOW!” I was right. He was right behind me. I kept my pace until a warm hand grabbed a part of my sleeve that wasn't shredded.

 

“Let me go!” I yelled. The person's grip only held tighter as I tried to punch what ever I could. I felt my feet and hands connect with someone and I tried hard to hurt them. But the hand was still there.

 

“Shut up. He'll find you.” The voice said. I stopped struggling as The Voice led me to a clearing. That's when I could see the damage I did to another guy. There were four of them, three wearing school uniforms, including the one I severely beat. The voice I recognized was a boy in a green school uniform. He was tall, strong, and looked scary. At least his body did. His eyes were another story. They were warm and soft with determination and kindness in them. So unlike what I assumed he was. The others seemed were an odd assortment. From what I could see anyway.

 

The boy that I beat was very tall and had a weird carrot colored hair. It was kind of funny to look at. Another boy helped him hobble over to where the boy in green held me. This other boy had vibrant crimson hair, like a red rose. Speaking of roses, this place smelled like them, but I hadn't seen any. The red-headed boy turned around and that is when I saw his eyes. Such a beautiful green. They were like gems or something. But these eyes weren't the only ones that startled me. Not half as much as the ones belonging to the fourth boy with static black hair. His eyes were blood red and cold. He wore such an odd outfit. As soon as the brown haired boy let go of my sleeve, I bolted for the forest again. Only to find that the fourth boy had extremely fast speed and stopped me. He looked angry, and he scared me a bit with the look in his eyes.

 

“Back away! I'm leaving!” I yelled at him. His gaze only deepened and I could see the look in his eyes. It was angry alright, pure fury. I tried to rush him but he tripped me and then picked me up and threw me over his shoulder.

 

“PUT ME DOWN YOU BASTARD!” I screamed. I kicked as hard as I could, but to no avail. After a few moments I gave up my running away plan. I knew I was just going to be captured anyway, so what was the point? Slowly footsteps came into the clearing and I could see Him. He was looking at the boys who had captured me with anger and a sense of relief. I could tell he was going to enjoy killing these boys, though with the sense of Spiritual Energy coming from these four boys, especially the boy in the green school uniform, it might prove to be a good fight.

 

“Put that bitch down.” He spat at the boys. The one in green gave him an angry look. He crossed his arms and leaned against a tree.

 

“What business do you have with this girl?” The boy said with emphases on girl. He looked at the boy with such dumbfounded-ness for correcting him. He went to rush the boy but the boy stepped into the field.

 

“I'll tell you what ugly, you beat me at a fight, I will let you have her back. If you lose, I get to keep her and you disappear. How `bout it?” The boy said, rolling up his sleeves. He gave the boy a smirk and stepped into the clearing more.

 

“Yusuke. Don't do anything stupid.” One of the boys said from in front of me. I could kind of see what was going around if I craned my neck to over the boys shoulder. The boy who was carrying me had quiet a grip on my thighs, quite so that I was begging to feel really uncomfortable. His grip loosened as if he could sense what I was feeling. Automatically I jumped from his shoulder and landed crouched down on the ground.

 

“Hey you!” The carrot haired boy called after me. I took off for the forest, but felt a body pull me down to the ground face first. Crimson hair flooded the forest floor as I felt the boy's presence swirl around me. It was him that smelt like roses. Not the forest at all. He reached for my hands and held them back. Something slimy wrapped around them, causing me to jump.

 

“YIPE!” I cried. The slimy things got tight around my wrists, binding them together like rope. I tried to move them, but they wouldn't budge any. The crimson haired boy pulled me up into his arms like a baby and carried me back to the group.

 

“You shouldn't have run, his friends would have gone after you. Be more careful Kioko.” The red-head mumbled to me. I looked shocked as he whispered my name. It was oddly comforting and very scary at the same time.

 

“Yusuke you idiot! Don't use your spirit gun! Use something more powerful!” The carrot haired boy was yelling to the teen in green. The boy in black, Hiei, he stared at me with a horrible look in his eyes. I still couldn't figure out what was going out. How did they know my name? Where they here to save me? Probably not. I needn't guess that. No one ever saved me. I wasn't allowed that luxury. Even my parents abandoned me. It was useless. No one cared, no one ever would.

 

“This is boring. Detective, hurry up or I will kill you both.” Hiei said to the boy named Yusuke with no hint of emotion in his voice. I watched as Yusuke stopped mid fight and stared at Hiei with those emotionless red eyes.

 

“Fine Hiei! Take `em down.” Yusuke said as he walked off the fake field. Hiei smirked for a second before he disappeared and then the sound of metal meeting skin echoed the forest over and over again while multiple of his friends dropped dead. I used this surprise attack time to loose myself from the bonds and jump out of the boy's arms. He didn't try to stop me now. They let me run away from everything.

 

I ran from them, from him and from everything. Just like I had been doing for years. I ran and never looked back. Something about those boys struck me as odd though. They had all tried to keep me there. Why?
