Chapter 6- Tunnels, Rebels, and insight.

 

“I thought you might be the one behind all this.” Kurama greeted her.

 

“What! This doesn't make any since at all! You're supposed to be dead, old hag!” Yousuke whined, “wait…YOU'RE THE ONE THAT PUT ALL THIS TOGETHER! YOU OLD CRANKY BITCH!!”

 

“WATCH YOUR TONGUE! And you're lucky I did set this little test up. If it were real, I doubt many of you would survive.” Genkai snorted as she approached the group.

 

“MASTER!” the blond cried out as he fell to his knees, “I'm sorry I failed you-,”

 

“Cut the dramatics, Kito. In all honesty, you were suppose to fail, it was to test them, like I said.” Genkai brushed him off.

 

“A test?” Botan and Yousuke said in unison.

 

“As I suspected.” Kurama sighed, when his friends gave him a look, he went on to explain, “The three we went up against did have a motive- to please Genkai's wishes, but they didn't want us really hurt. Yana and Kaitou showed that much to us when Desota got hurt-,”

 

“You make it sound like I keep getting hurt, Kurama.” Desota said with a vein popping on her forehead.

 

“Well, so far, that's true. You're the only one who's shown a sign of weakness.” Hiei pointed out when Yumi and he stopped squabbling.

 

“Hey Hiei, were you trying out a singing voice when you said hot and `let' them have your soul, or was that a fluke?” Desota retorted raising an eyebrow at him.

 

“They got your soul?! Haha! Hiei, show some class, man!” Yusuke laughed.

 

“Oh and I suppose you were just fine and dandy when Kito trapped you! Hum?” Genkai barked.

 

Yousuke stiffened, then put on a resentful face, “yeah, well if I had known what kind of lame power he had I wouldn't have let that happen.”

 

“You think your opponent is just going to tell you their power!” Genkai scolded, “you idiot! This was a test for this very reason! - Do you even know what kind of power your little friend Kurama over there is holding? What if her power is so great it could wipe out your puny little finger gun! Huh?”

 

Yusuke seemed to consider this, and then he slammed a fist in his palm, “right then.” He turned to Desota, “Dessy, what's your power? I mean, we know you have Ryu stuck to your spirit, but what's your natural power?”

 

Desota blinked, “I never told you guys?” she looked up in thought, “huh, guess I didn't, must have slipped my mind.” She smiled, “I never used it very often before, and I'm just starting to master it.”

 

`Just starting??'

 

//imagine what kind of attack she could make once she concurs it. Ryu seems to be the one to control their power. Once he leaves, she'll have to master it on her own. //

 

“So you DO have power?” Botan asked.

 

“I don't know if I short circuited it when I lost my temper with Kaitou down stairs….” Desota held out her hand and concentrated. A weak spark flickered, then a small ball of electricity formed in her palm, “I can control electricity in any way, shape or form. I usually try to practice during a storm, so if it gets to be to much, I can release how ever much I need to in the storm with out hurting anyone,” she explained.

 

“Bet your electric bill is really low. You're your own generator!” Yusuke joked.

 

Desota smiled with a sweat drop, “I guess…,”

 

“That wasn't the point, Yousuke.” Genkai sighed, “Something's coming that will be the greatest threat to us all. Some one is digging a tunnel to the demon world.”

 

Silence.

 

“D-demon world tunnel?” Desota repeated. Ryu was fussing at her that they should know this. Something about it was so familiar that he was having a tantrum in her head. Can you say headache?

 

Beee-beeep----Beee-beep!

 

Everyone looked curiously to Botan's case as it beeped. She blushed as if her cell phone had gone off in a library.

 

“Uh, I guess that's Koenma.” She shrugged.

 

“Koenma?” Desota knew who it was, but had never had to mingle in anything with him involved as of yet. Kurama hadn't had to leave for spirit world much, and if he did, he was only there for a quick while with out even telling her.

 

Ryu smirked- and the hailed baby prince of spirit world arrives. - He sarcastically remarked, idly thinking of the brats' reaction when he saw just who was with his little detective group now.

 

“Botan, Is Yousuke with you yet?” Koenma asked over the screen.

 

“We're all here, Koenma, so why don't you tell us something about this little tunnel a physic is making over in Mushiori city.” Genkai cut in.

 

“Oh, GENKAI! I forgot I brought you back to life!” the infant exclaimed.

 

“She's not the only one here, Diaper prince.” Yumi said dryly.

 

“Yumi Nadoriko!! When will you learn that that tone is NO way to speak to your adopted father AND prince?!” Koenma scolded.

 

“When I feel the need to let the lesson sink in.” Yumi tossed her long ponytail back smugly, “don't get all mad just yet, sir, don't you wanna hear which mission we accomplished?”

 

“Mission?” Koenma sounded surprised- the dreaded news about the tunnel could hold off for a few minutes.

 

“Remember? You sent us to observe a hanyou a while back?” Yousuke put in.

 

“Yes, why, did you find it?”

 

“Her.” Kurama corrected as he stepped aside to let Koenma see the small girl sitting behind him, “Her name Is Desota Ishtar, and she's been staying at my place for a few weeks-,”

 

“YOU!” Koenma pointed shocked as he flipped out on the screen. Everyone was surprised, but Desota's head tilted down to hide her eyes which were now glowing Orange as Ryu decided to allow the prince to know his assumptions was correct.

 

“Surprised to see me?” instead of Dessy's feminine alto voice, it was a purred masculine timbre.

 

“She's doing `it' again…,” Yousuke gulped. It was just creepy how Desota sometimes gained a male voice.

 

“RYU! SO IT WAS YOU THAT PASSED THROUGHT THE BARRIER! WHAT'D YOU DO? HIDE BEHIND HER SO YOU COULD GET PASS THE GAKAI BARRIER!?” Koenma hissed.

 

Ryu snorted, not bothering to revert to his own form and stayed just a voice while still in Dessys' form, “You have nothing against me that demands my explanation, half wit. You should have known it was me when you heard that it was a hanyou that had gotten through- and its not like I did anything unless attacked.” He lifted his Orange eyes coldly to the infant, “and don't even think about trying to get what you want out of me- the girl's memory is whipped form it, so even if you provoke her weak hearted soul, she cant tell you either. You'll have to find out about that fucking bastard on your own.”

 

Koenma glared at the Hanyous' other self pensively, “If only you weren't an `S' class, Ryu, oh if only…..,”

 

“S class?” nearly everyone asked.

 

Koenma sighed, “well…..”

(Going right along because we've all heard this boring discussion about the tunnel and dooms day what not about S and A class demons coming through one Gakai barrier is broken. Ok? -Now onward!)

 

Hiei scoffed, “You sound as if we'll just up and help this pathetic realm just because you're telling us this.”

 

“Hiei, that's exactly WHY I'm telling you this, so you'll help!” Koenma sounded exhausted for explaining a lot.

 

“Feh, my dept to you is repaid- I got back the detective on one condition- I got my freedom. And since your little puppy and your detective are all right, I'm going. I have no interest in helping cause or stop this tunnel you're so worked up over- personally, I'd like to see some havoc and confusion happen here to cause an uproar in this boring world.” Hiei said as he turned to leave.

 

Everyone stared in shock.

 

Yumi's forest green eyes dilated in denial. Her anger suddenly boiled- he couldn't just up and leave her like this! Not after all they've been through! She knew the hybrid since before he met Kurama even, and she wasn't letting him leave her behind once again.

Suddenly, she was in front of him determined to cut off his escape as she drew her kitana.

 

“So you're a coward then!? SURE, you'll help them when you have to and when you know the opponent isn't all that hard to beat- Even Toguro wasn't a big faze to you until it was too late to back out! Now that you KNOW what a big threat this is, you just walk out on us as if none of the things what we've done- I'VE DONE to help you happened at all!?” she couldn't think straight as her own words bit at her as well as what little conscience Hiei had. Though he hid his emotion better than her. Tears brimmed her eyes and quite honestly, if it were someone else causing them for her, he'd have slaughtered them by now. He stared as indifferently as he could in her eyes. He had his own thoughts to sort out right now, no saving the world was going to tie him down.

 

“Fine, I'll admit that I only helped previously because I was forced to. Happy? I only watched you because Koenma couldn't keep a tighter leash on you- it was my job- like I said before, but now that I'm free, I don't feel any need to continue mingling in this nonsense any longer.” He told her plainly and made himself sound very resentful to her so she'd buy it.

 

Her eyes hardened on him- so that's what he thought? That she was `just a job?' fuck that! She had evidence that they had felt more! And HE was the one who acted on those feelings first!

 

With out another word she hissed through her teeth at him. Her black ears plastered to her scull and her black tail bristled. She sheathed her sword and stood aside, glaring at him, but non-the less allowed him to `pass'. When his shoulder came level with her, Yumi's eyes glowed as she made a sweeping motion under him to bend the wind and lift him off the ground.

 

Everyone including Hiei was taken off guard at her attack as she stirred the air around her as she bent it around Hiei to do a minni indoor tornado, “HOW CAN YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO ME AND JUST EXPECT ME TO LET YOU WALK AWAY!” she roared over the wind in furry

 

“YUMI! IS THIS REALLY NESSISARY?!” Desota called, as she had to brace herself to the pillar she was still leaning against. Ryu had retreated and allowed her control again soon as Koenma had stopped talking about the tunnel and sarcastically informed the group about classifying levels of demons the spirit world used- Hiei had seemed to get upset when he learned he was only a low B class while Ryu, if considered a demon, was considered an S class- the strongest of all types.

 

Yumi wasn't listening as she pulled her arm up and clenched her fist. The whirlwind responded as it tightened its circulation around Hiei and crushed him harshly with its currents.

 

He grimaced at the pain it was doing as it was just short of crushing a few bones, but he smirked down at her, “You really haven't changed at all since I met you- your still Koenma's little spoiled brat that hates to see things not go her way! Is this your way at getting back at me? Did you sheath you sword because you know I'd win at a FAIR fight?” he taunted over the rushing wind.

 

Yumi gritted her teeth to where she was snarling at him. She violently threw her arm to the side of her to call off the whirl wind, but before Hiei could even start to fall, she thrashed her fist down in a slice in front over her and the wind bended to slam him back on the ground- knocking his own air form his lungs.

 

Everyone started in awe at the wolf demon. She always fought with the hybrid, but she was never THIS hard on him! They could even feel her angered aura lightly brush their own even form the distance she was from them. Yana and Kito were disturbed by the feeling and showed it more than the others. Kuwabara could even feel its natural tension in the air even with the lack of spirit power anymore.

 

Yumi glared down at the demon that she thought was closest to her heart, “You want to leave? Fine, leave. But come back and face all four elements just as harsh if not worse than that. If you didn't feel anything in the time we were together, then let that be a warning not to mess with people's emotions like that. If you come back, I don't want to see you unless there's no strings attached- are we clear?!” her whole cold-stone-hearted act was almost found out when a small crack creaked in her throat at the end of her warning.

 

Hiei seemed to catch it though. He couldn't even look at her as he stood up, “don't bother holding your breath then. If your done trying to prove your ridiculous point, I'll go now.” Then he actually left. Yumi didn't move. Her bangs covered her eyes. After about 10 minutes, the others started to get concerned- even Genkai was a little sympathetic for the heart broken wolf demoness.

 

Yousuke sighed as Yumi finaly walked back to join them again.

 

“Sheesh, Yumi, remind me not to piss you off too bad any more.” He joked lightly, hoping to lighten her mood. She just snorted at him, but kept her eyes out of sight under her bangs.

 

“Yumi….,” Desota's heart ached to see her like this. Even if she didn't know her for really all that long, Yumi was happy to tell her about how Hiei and she had met when Koenma had her on a mission to track down an item he had- an Ice maidens tear, but when she found out what the fire demon had went through, why he killed, and why he had such a trinket with him, she refused to aid her adopted father's request. After that, when she wasn't busy in demon world, she'd often follow him around curiously. When He had committed a crime that affected the Human world how ever, Yumi couldn't do much to help his sentencing to spirit world. Koenma sent him to watch the barrier with Yumi, secretly telling the fire demon to watch out for her in the human world and that was how they were bound together. Over time, he had become more active in protecting her and moody when she was friendly to other males besides the ones he deemed `worthy' of listening to her motor mouth. He never failed to both insult and compliment her in the same sentence often. When they were alone, he'd warm up to her every now and then. If something was bugging him, she knew about it and helped him cope over it. He even let her hug him during those times and seemed to enjoy it. It really seemed like he cared for her. They had even kissed once or twice in the heat of a moment or two.

 

But form what Botan and Keiko kept telling her- EVERYONE saw that he had obviously probably fallen for her, `what a load of shit that is- if he cared, why's he leaving me?!' she thought and clenched her fists.

 

“We'll start the search tomorrow morning, but tonight, make yourselves comfortable here. We can't afford to split up amongst ourselves, but we will go into two different groups tomorrow to cover more ground in Mushiori.” Genkai said as she left.

 

Once she was gone- probably to her own room- Yousuke, Botan, and Kuwabara turned to Yumi, while Kurama settled down next to Desota.

 

“Awe, come on Yumi, its probably for the best if Hiei left.” Botan tried, debating if she should reach out to the wolf and risk getting her arm served back to her.

 

“Yeah, he is a pint sized jerk, you know,” Kuwabara leaned in closer to her as if he was telling her a secret, “he's probably afraid of commitment as well.”

 

“Yeah, you know him, he'll go all rebel macho-guy on us and the next thing you know he comes around and saves our Asses in the end.” Yousuke waved her off.

 

“Hiei's complicated like that, you know that.” Kurama tried to help.

 

“Yeah, I'm sure he has a good reason. He almost seemed obligated to leave when you stopped him.” Desota tried to help.

 

Yumi stiffened. It was really sweet- they were all worried about her. They knew she was hurting because Hiei left. They actually cared? She glanced at them quickly before her eyes softened at their worried expressions.

 

“Hey are you crying, Yumi?” Yousuke accused.

 

Yumi jerked away her head to hide again, glaring at the opposite wall stubbornly, “no” she whispered.

 

Kuwabara and Yousuke exchanged mischievous glances- got her.

 

Botan laughed nervously as she backed up form them- not wanting to get caught in the cross fire Yumi was sure to give them.

 

“I think she IS crying.” Kuwabara agreed with a grin.

 

“Why'd she do a thing like that for a jerk like him?” Yousuke tisked.

 

“I'm not crying for HIEI, in fact, I'm not even CRYING!” She sniveled.

 

“Oh really?” Yousuke raised an eyebrow. Suddenly, both boys were crouched down in front of her so they could look up at her face, “then what's all that wet stuff coming form your eyes?” he taunted with a smile.

 

“Looks like tears to me.” Kuwabara answered him.

 

Yumi started to bristle at their nerve for even EMPLYING that she was crying- let alone for HIEI.

 

“SHUT THE HELL UP AND GET OFF MY BACK!” She yelled as she stomped her foot on the ground as her eyes glowed green slightly and she used her earth bending power to make the wooden boards wave form the impact and whiplash at the boys. They were sent flying back into the wall behind them screaming.

 

She stomped up to the now groaning in pain, boys, “Still think I'm crying?” she threatened.

 

“Well you were..,” Kuwabara slapped a hand over his mouth with an `oh shit' expression.

 

“KUWABARA! DO YOU WANT TO GET OUR ASSES HANDED TO US?!” Yusuke hissed at his friend, before gulping when Yumi's shadow casted over them.

 

“Why YOU!!!” now she was angry.

 

Botan flinched when she turned away from the sad scene. Yumi had started thrashing on the boys violently cursing at them, “they can be so dense sometimes about what and what not to say to Yumi when she's emotional.” She sighed.

 

Desota smiled good-naturedly, “yes, but at least they got her mind off Hiei for now.”

 

Kurama smiled as well and looked at the wolf who took a breather from wailing on the dimwits he called friends, “yes, but I think they could have gone about it in a less reckless way.” He admitted.

 

Botan yawed and stretched, making Dessy yawn as well, “its Yusuke and Kuwabara we're talking about. They ARE reckless.”

 

“True…,” Kurama shrugged, his smile grew smugger when he noticed Desota laying down and using his lap as a pillow. He rested a hand on her side comfortably.

 

“Well I'm off to the couch before Yousuke or Kuwabara decide to use it as their bed.” Botan got up to leave.

 

“You should get some sleep too…..,” Kurama trailed off when he looked down at the hanyou in his lap. She was already sleeping soundly. He smiled warmly and ran a hand through her long silky black hair.

 

`She must be exhausted now.' He thought.

 

//she's had a rough night from what Ryu pulled earlier with Kaitou to throw the guy off guard.// Yoko remarked.

 

Kurama's brows knotted at the mention of Ryu, `Ryu….. He said her memories were whipped form the information about the `bastard' earlier when Koenma realized he was among us.'

 

//His spirit is too strong to allow them to fall prey to something as idle as that. HE'S the one probably suppressing those memories. He's already controlling her power so she doesn't over do herself.// Yoko recalled.

 

`So if he were to ever get his body back, and left her alone to these….. She'll probably go through hell just trying to cope with them when they suddenly all come back to her, not to mention her power.'

 

//that's what I'm worried about.//

9 people were in the dark cave. One with green hair and golden relaxed eyes looked up from where he appeared to be meditating, “a barrier- I'll need someone who's able to break them if we want to complete the tunnel. All I can do now is widen it.”

 

“Do what you can then, I'll find who we need. It'll give me sometime to examine these threats I'm hearing of. Soukou.” A taller man called over his shoulder. He had black shiny hair sleeked back- save for one curly strand that stubbornly hung in front of his face. He had cold dark eyes that looked over at his underling, “Do you sense HIM near?”

 

The man called Soukou was leaning casually on the cave wall apart form the others. He shoulder length silver and black hair pulled into a thick rat-tail at his nape with his wild bags flaring down to his chin. He had pointed animal ears of a K-9 rather than human looking ears and he had icy blue eyes that glowed in the shadow as he looked up at his master, “that traitor seems to be mingling with a new crowd now. He's on the right path to cross us soon, since he's hanging around that Urameshi team that works for the spirit world.” Soukou replied with a high timbre.

 

“Is the hanyou still harboring him?”

 

“Do I still have this body and half HIS power?” Soukou countered, “relax, those demons I made to chase her with were only to keep Ryu form getting lazy and pushing her towards them. No doubt they'll want to protect her when her world comes crashing down like her mothers did- just like you wanted, sir.”

 

“Good, sometimes I wander if you really are a human mage and not a demon.” His master complimented as he walked on to the others.

 

“I'm just a damn good mage I guess,” the Human teen that looked identical to Ryu's true form, laughed arrogantly, “you want me to say hello?”

 

“No. Not just yet. Lets see where this plays out. If any of the others happen to come in contact and use their territories on them, I want you to go and assist in any way you see fit, but don't get carried away.”

 

“Do I ever?”

 

“There have been a few masques unexplained.”

 

“So I got carried away a FEW times.” He snorted, “Just as long as our deal stands, I get Ryu and the Hanyou. He twisted this spell to where he HIDES in a little girl while I only have half his power and he kept the rest- storing it in her for when he `leaves' so I cant get it.”

 

“Don't worry Soukou.” The taller man put a hand on the youths shoulder, “You're rematch with the Hanyou possessed will come probably sooner than you think.”

Did this one seem short? It looks short on word micorsoft, but then again-every thing does on that.
