Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Running From You ❯ Eye To Eyes ( Chapter 7 )

Chapter 7: Eye to Eyes

 

 

Kurama felt the girl's presence burn him. It was warm and it was fiery.

 

“My name is Akemi Oshiro, I'm the original owner of this body.” The girl spoke coquettishly, her eyes sparkling dangerously.

 

“Who?” Kurama whispered.

 

“You heard me.” The non-Kioko spoke. Kurama looked at the girl, her hair falling over her shoulders and piling on the mattress. She ran her fingers over where Kurama had been sitting before, as if she was still trying to soak up Youko's energy.

 

{What is she?}Youko asked angrily; his presence weakened.

 

{I- I'm not sure anymore!}

 

The girl threw the covers off of her body and placed her feet on the floor, taking in every second, like it had been forever since she had set foot on earth, literally. Kurama's eyes wandered over every curve of her body, finding it almost too unreal that the little Kioko would grow up and potentially look like this.

 

“Where are you going?” Kurama asked the girl.

 

“Home.” She replied. The girl walked up to Kurama, who was pressed against the door, trying to keep her in the room. She leaned in to his face and ran her delicate fingers down his cheek and smirked. “Move it.” Her voice was smooth like silk and Kurama wished she hadn't caused so much trouble because she was gorgeous.

 

“You cannot leave.” Kurama responded. He felt the heat in the room, an abnormal heat that comes from being nervous. The girl glared at him and he felt his gaze get stronger.

 

“You know, you are pretty for Youko's human form. But… he is much more delicious in reality…” The girl leaned in and placed her hands on Kurama's shoulders, balancing herself against his solid body. She brought her lips close to Kurama's ear, breathing gently but dangerously enough so that it was making Kurama melt inside. “Youko, come out come out, where ever you are….” The girl spoke flirtatiously. His eyes flashed amber and Kurama could feel his body want the change. Youko was trying to take over, but it would only be to his doom.

 

“No.” Kurama half begged, half demanded. The girl smirked as Kurama tried to fight of the kitsune to protect him.

 

{She'll drain you dry! Do not be stupid, Youko!}

 

“Aww. That's too bad. I was looking for a little meal…} The non-Kioko spoke. Suddenly herself being pulled back from a certain Jaganshi who had entered the room via window.

 

“Back onna. Where is Kioko?” Hiei spoke maliciously.

 

“She's gone. Hopefully for forever.” The girl laughed, the cackling in her throat was horrid to Kurama's ears. Hiei grabbed his katana and held it to the girl's throat, looking into her lilac eyes and throwing her backwards.

 

“You ARE Kioko.” Hiei spoke, confused at the sudden change in events. He looked up at Kurama who was still against the door. “Fox. FOX.” Hiei raised his voice. Kurama snapped out of his temporary paralysis and looked at the Koorime. Hiei looked at the girl who sat on the floor, staring at the two. Kurama shook his head.

 

“I cannot let you leave this temple, Kioko.” Kurama spoke. Suddenly the girl's eyes fluttered and she fell backwards onto the floor. Kurama rushed to her side and watched as the energy she had stolen from Youko returned to him, and with it, Kioko returned to her regular size. Hiei shook his head and walked over to the girl, pulling off his bandana and allowing his Jagan eye to open fully.

 

“Onna's a pain.” Hiei said as he placed his hand on her forehead. His eye took control and infiltrated Kioko's mind, winding into all her current memories, trying to find the trigger for her transformation into who ever the girl was.

 

“Stop. You are not going ANY farther.” A voice spoke. It was attached to a black haired woman with burning grey eyes. She was defensive, and suddenly Hiei was thrown out of his own search.

 

“What happened?” Kurama asked as he held the feverish Kioko close. Hiei growled and looked at the girl with distrust.

 

“There is some woman inside her. It wasn't the crazy onna, it is a different one.” Hiei added. Kurama looked at the Jaganshi as if he was crazy.

 

{There cannot be ANOTHER girl. No way.}

 

{If she's as seductive, bring her on!} Youko chirped.

 

Kurama ran his hand over Kioko's hair as the little girl slept. Slowly he got up and placed her in her bed, noting that she now fit the clothes better than when she was in an older form. Hiei walked out of the room, redoing his bandana and trying to decode who the older woman was.

 

“Who are you really?” Kurama whispered into the night time. It wasn't given a response, except for the gentle breathing on Kioko's end. Kurama brushed the girl's bangs out of the way and kissed her forehead lightly. He tried to not imagine her older form and all of her curves, but the image kept poping up into his head. Slowly and reluctantly he left the room, still stuck with the image of the older Kioko pushed against him, her warmth and her seductive voice breathing into his ear.

The kitchen bustled with noise and concern long before Kioko walked in. Yusuke and Keiko expressed their concern about taking Kioko to a temple that she randomly asked to go to, leading up to Genkai's concern that maybe it was a trap.

 

“I can't imagine her leading us into a trap Genkai-sama.” Yukina added softly. Kuwabara agreed with the girl as he helped her scramble eggs and prepare them in a large bowl. Hiei watched as the carrot haired boy helped his sister make food; slowing her down. He looked away and stayed out of the conversation, ignoring all the talk about the strange girl. As far as he was concerned, she was just another mission.

 

“I agree, Yukina. Thank you. What ever it is that is hurting her may be at the temple. We cannot just ignore that.” Kurama gave his opinion. Genkai nodded reluctantly.

 

I just do not want to see her get hurt anymore.” Genkai spoke softly. Keiko nodded and Yusuke folded his arms.

 

“I guess Kurama is right. If it is there, we can fix it or get rid of it or kill it… or… whatever. The point is, if it is there, we can do what we need to.” Yusuke added. Behind them, there was a knock on the door, and the door opened to reveal Kioko standing there, looking at everyone.

 

“Oh Kioko, come in.” Keiko smiled and motioned for the girl to come and sit by her. Kioko smiled and walked right in, easing the atmosphere in the room. Keiko helped her decide how she wanted to get to the Temple, while everyone else just looked on at the small girl.

 

{Hard to believe she was a slave. Hard to believe she was treated so horribly, because she is so happy.}

 

{Hnn.}

 

{Sometimes I'm so thankful for my ridiculous life. Hiei?}

 

{Hnn.}

 

Kioko's laughter filled everyone's ears, and soon everyone was in on the plan, to help her get to Shirayama Shrine. Kuwabara and Yukina were packing lunches for the day's excersions. Keiko and Yusuke were deciding on the best way to get there and back. Genkai was providing entertainment for the girl while Yusuke and Keiko argued over which train to take. Kurama watched the group as they fought for a similar goal, the happiness of one person.

 

“I think we should go now. It will be too late getting home if we do not leave now.” Kurama smiled. Kioko looked up and ran to Yukina to grab a small back pack filled with the lunches. She walked up to Kurama and held out her hand while looking up at the kitsune. He looked down at her and smiled, reaching out to grab her hand. Everyone watched as the kitsune silently grabbed the girl's hand and pulled her along with him.

 

“I guess we should go too.” Yusuke smiled. He grabbed Keiko's hand and pulled her with, forgetting his argument with her earlier.

 

“Yeah.” Keiko nodded.
