Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Shura's Quest ❯ Scene 19 ( Chapter 19 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Sorry the updating has been slow, but I have a funny connection that reacts to wet weather. And we have been getting drenched here the past couple days.

I'm not getting too much response on this fic, but I'm going to continue it. This is meant to be an action story, not a lovey dovey one. Although, I will be bringing some tension in for a certain reason between Yusuke and Kuwabara that I'll disclose later on.

* Lazurama continues to coast along until he feels a familiar presence approaching. He wills the glider plant to stop and looks all around frantically, mumbling.


Lazurama- (Mumbling) No.. not her.. Not now...


* Then a green sphere shoots up from the forest he's passing over to hover before him. Lazurama looks away and balls his fist as a beautiful, young woman appears out of the sphere.


Durga- Lazurama.

Lazurama- I can't face you right now!


* He wills the glider to go on past her.


Durga- I know what you have been doing.


* The kitsune tries to ignore her.


Durga- You're not a killer, Lazurama.. I know your nature..


* Now the youko spins to snarl his best at her.


Lazurama- You know nothing!


* Durga turns to look at the young demon sadly.


Durga- I have the power to help you..

Lazurama- Only if I ask it!

Durga- Then do so.

Lazurama- I.. can't... I have to.. obey them.


* When Lazurama lowers his eyes the goddess of nature coasts over to touch his cheek.


Durga- I know they have two of your kits.


* Lazurama closes his eyes tightly a moment, then fights tears as he meets Durga's aqua-colored eyes.


Lazurama- Yes.. My last two... Mother Durga, they.. killed my mate... and the other.. three..


* The fox's voice catches as he chokes on a sob, then he turns away from her again.


Lazurama- (Quietly) Before I gave in... Hieda and Jonelle are the only things I have left... They destroyed our valley, too...

Durga- I am so sorry, Laz.. But you are wrong.. They aren't the only things you have left. You have a half brother that Father is now sending his SDF troops out to find because of your actions... Was it part of their plans to frame him..?

Lazurama- A half brother?


* Lazurama snorts sarcastically, then casts another glare at the goddess.


Lazurama- You mean that traitor that left his clan.. All of us behind... to live among humans?!


* Lazurama backs away from her when she reaches for him again.


Durga- So now you hate him this much?

Lazurama- Yes!!


* Durga shakes her head, able to see through his anger.


Durga- I don't see it in your eyes, son.


* Lazurama turns to continue on his way.


Lazurama- I have something to do, Mother.

Durga- If you continue killing.. it will eventually kill you, Lazurama.

Lazurama- If I cared about only my life.. we wouldn't be having this conversation.


* Durga catches up to him and floats alongside him.


Durga- I will do what I can to find your kits, my son.

Lazurama- You have to stay out of this.. You have no idea who you're dealing with.. And they're watching me.

Durga- I know that they have my brothedr thanks to you.


* Lazurama pulls up to a stop, but avoids her eyes. He struggles with something for a moment before speaking again.


Lazurama- (Quietly) Lord Koenma has strong allies that can use his binkie to find him..

Durga- You mean the Muufuken?

Lazurama- (Quietly) He dropped it in the sand back on that beach.. He thought I didn't notice.. Now go find it and leave me to my own torment.. Please.


* Lazurama sends a greater burst of his energy to the plant so it's leaves will flap and carry him away from her quickly. The goddess lowers her eyes a moment, then knows where she must go, 'I know he will grant me audience'.
