Chapter 9- Stormy weather

 

They had retreated back to their hometown after that to examine what they had learnt. Kuwabara and Yousuke went to school the next day and Kurama transferred over to the same school as them, wanting to stay close. Shiori gladly let him transfer, happy to see that he wanted to go to a school with his friends in it (that was the excuse he gave her)

 

True to Kurama's word, he gave Kyo his best antidote for the poison, but even with its help, Kyo was having a hard time recovering. It had been a day and he was only just now breaking out of the fever. Desota hovered over him constantly, afraid to leave him. Shiori made a pallet for Kyo beside Desota's bed so Desota could sleep in her own bed rather than on the floor in the living room like last night.

 

Kurama came home to find his little hanyou curled around a contently sleeping Kyo that had snuggled against her stomach under her shirt. At first glance it looked like she was with child, and that made him smile a bit. The thought of her heavy with his pup warmed him inside with a male-sort of satisfaction. Kurama didn't feel any need to hide it from himself any more. He loved Desota more than just a friend or a romantic partner- although he would have loved to do what lovers do with Desota. It was deeper kind of love than that. Yoko had even started to call her his `Mate'- which both unnerved and delighted Kurama.

 

He quietly walked into the room and knelt by the bedside to brush her raven black hair out of her face. She moaned in her sleep and rolled on her back, letting her mouth lazily lag open. Kyo squeaked as he was shifted to laying on her stomach form her roll. Kurama watched as the zhorse shifted under her shirt to a better position before he nodded off again in sleep once more.

 

/just imagine, Kurama./ Yoko purred /our mate filled with OUR pups. We'd only have to wait 5 months for it to be born- demons grow faster than humans./

 

`That's probably the last thing on her mind right now. Especially with us. Not with all that's going on with a tunnel to demon world and everything.' Kurama doubted.

 

Desota brought her hand to rest on the lump on her stomach Kyo had made and she smiled in her sleep sighing quietly, “Kurama…”

 

That got him to stiffen. 1- for her to whisper his name like that was arousing to him…and 2- she was whispering his name in her sleep with a smile and a hand resting on her stomach as if… Kurama's eyes widened.

 

/don't look so surprised. All females want to settle down and have pups eventually. Our mate senses that she has found her mate- us- and her instincts want her to breed with US. Is that so surprising? / Yoko snorted after saying this.

 

`She's never hinted anything like that before….'

/she's shy, and really- is that such a bad thing? You don't see her whispering Kuwabara's name in her sleep do you? / Yoko bristled at his own remark /I'd kill him if I found out she was dreaming about him! /

 

`You're such a jealous pervert.' Kurama chastised, but in the back of his mind, he also snarled at that thought.

 

Kyo started to rouse form sleep under Desota's shirt and he wiggled out sluggishly looking up at Kurama with clear, healthy orange orbs once more. When Kyo recognized him, the little zhorse mewled softly in delight- trying not to wake Desota- as he tottered over the sheets to Kurama, who stroke the light soft forelock on Kyo's head. Kyo purred his thanks at the pleasing contact and leaned more into Kurama's hand, silently asking for more like a cat. It still amused Kurama how a small equine like Kyo couldn't neigh, but acted like a cat in a pony's body.

 

The smell of Dinner coming from the kitchen where Shiori was, awoke Desota from her slumber as she rolled over facing Kurama and Kyo now. She stretched out her arms and legs with a small groan and collapsed. Then she sleepily opened one deep aqua eye at Kyo and Kurama.

 

“Evening, sleepy head.” Kurama smiled.

 

Desota moaned and reached for her stomach- probably to check on Kyo. Her eye's shot open wide and she looked around frantically as she shot up and sat straight in panic.

 

“WHERE'S KYO!” she yelped.

 

“Kayo?” Kyo mewled while he now sat on Kurama's head. Kurama looked up almost cross-eyed at him before rolling his eyes.

 

“I hope this doesn't become a habit Kyo. It's quite an annoyance.” He sighed.

 

Kyo giggled in his own little way and fondly rubbed his cheek in Kurama's hair.

 

Desota relaxed upon seeing Kyo well once again, “how ya feeling little guy?” she smiled warmly at him.

 

Kyo's head perked up at her and he snorted sarcastically to tell her he was more than fine as his fluffy silver white tail wagged back and forth with a slight lash to it, making Desota giggle.

 

“Really now?” she teased and got a small grunt in response, “well what if I hugged Kurama instead of you? Would you just fall ill again?” Kyo yipped at her and snorted as if he didn't care, “Fine then. No `get well' hug for you then. Kurama gets it.” She threatened as she wrapped her arms around Kurama and hugged him close. Kurama automatically returned her hug and pulled her closer to where she was off the bed and in his lap with his nose buried in her hair. She didn't seem to mind, But Kyo did. He bristled up and started to yapp at them angrily form Kurama's head.

 

“Oh hush up, up there. You said you didn't care. So what are you getting all worked up over?” Desota teased as Kurama let her pull away to look at Kyo still on Kurama's head.

 

“Kase horra. Kay Kyou.” Kyo snorted turning away with a huff.

 

“Fine then. You wont mind if I…..,” she trailed off when she looked back to Kurama's eyes playfully and moved in to gently brush her lips against his. Yoko was instantly urging Kurama to take that small, sweet, innocent kiss to the next step, but Kurama bit back the urge…barely.

 

They were separated when Kyo climbed down from Kurama's head and balanced on their shoulders, hissing and snapping at them jealously. Kurama chuckled and Desota giggled at the little animal's raged expression as he threw fit.

 

“What, you want some lovin as well now?” Desota taunted.

 

“Kyo!” Kyo demanded with a sharp nod.

 

“You spoiled brat.” She laughed at him and pulled him into a gentle hug and kissed his temple lovingly as a mother would to her child, “there, happy?”

 

Kyo nodded with a triumphed smile and leaped down form them to strut out the door to Shiori where he knew his dinner awaited. Desota giggled at him and Kurama's expression softened at the delightful sound. He dipped his head to her ear and whispered, “what about my lovin?” he teased as he purposefully breathed on her ear and was rewarded with a shiver going down her spine.

 

“Y-your lov-lovin?” she stuttered, caught off guard. When his heated look didn't waver she swallowed nervously, “uh…I didn't know you WANTED that kind of..Attention.” she darted her eyes away form his to escape his heated gaze that was sparking with gold in his green irises.

 

He smirked at her answer and nuzzled her neck before letting his tongue quickly slide over the shell of her ear, “I'm always ready and waiting for lovin form you, Dessy. Quite honestly, if you don't come to me, I'll just come to you.” He smiled when she stiffened. He rubbed his cheek affectionately against her own, “that's not a problem is it?” he only let a hint of uncertainty in that question. Just incase his assumption- ……or rather `their' assumption was incorrect.

 

“NO!” she said very quickly and almost snapped, before she looked away to hide a dark blush and further explained herself, “I-I mean… I don't mind if you want….well…” she didn't know how to say what he wanted. He smiled at her and kissed her lips much like she did before, but his kiss was more of a promise.

 

“You don't mind if I start or pursue your affections? As a mate?” his eyes flashed gold when he said the `m' word and Desota gawked at him.

 

He wanted to what!?

 

Not that she minded. He was GORGIOUS and she could easily picture herself falling for a heartthrob like him- if she hadn't already. But he had just announced what he intended to make her in his life. She hadn't had much experience with this kind of thing, but from what she heard, most people don't just come out and ask others if its ok to pursue them for marriage or… mating….same thing- or so she thought…..

 

`Need to talk to Yumi about that…,' she mentally put on her to do list. When she looked back at his green-gold rimmed eyes, she realized he was still waiting for her to answer him.

 

“I…” she took a deep breath and looked him straight in the eye, “I don't mind, but I'll tell you now,” she glared at him, “If it's an easy lay you're looking for, don't bother.” She warned. She really didn't think he'd do that to her, but one cant be too sure in the game of love.

 

He chuckled and stole another kiss. This time he let his tongue slowly slide across her bottom lip as he asked for entrance. Desota's eyes widened, but she hesitantly opened her mouth for him and he didn't waste time to dive in. his tongue traced her teeth, especially her barely hidden k-9s. When he started to stroke her own tongue to respond with a deep-throated growl, her tongue jerked to life and curiously rubbed back at his. When she started to get bolder, he pulled back with a smirk as she let out a disappointed whimper.

 

“The thought never crossed my mind, mate.” He smiled and she glared.

 

“Don't call me mate.” She protested.

 

“Why not? You'll be my mate sooner or later. So why cant I?” he asked- or rather Yoko asked as Kurama's eyes bled completely gold now. Yoko took the kiss as an advantage to get the upper hand on Kurama while his restraint weakened.

 

Desota almost hissed at him, “one kiss doesn't mean I'm head over heels for you. It simply means I'm…” she tried to think of something before she remembered something she over heard one time at Kurama's old high school, “It simply means I'm trying you out. You know, like….car shopping. You don't know, maybe I'm interested in…Ryu or Kuwabara!” she taunted him defiantly. Then eeped when he tightened his hold on her waist and let a low growl rumble in his chest enough to where she could feel the vibration.

 

“You said so yourself that Ryu and you are only in a brother and sister relation and Kuwabara couldn't hope to win over you with me as competition. Besides, he's got his eye on an ice maiden that's Hiei's twin sister, Yukina.”

 

“Is that who you were referring to the other night? When we were at that old mansion?” she changed subject quickly.

 

“Yes, and don't say anything to him about her relativery with Hiei or Hiei will try to kill you. He wont get far though.” He smirked and nuzzled her nose with his own, “now stop changing subject.”

 

“You mentioned her,” Desota mumbled in her defense.

 

“Suichi, Desota!” called Shiori, “Dinner's ready, and that Urameshi boy called asking for Kuwabara.”

 

“Kuwabara?” Desota repeated and looked worried back to Kurama. His expression wasn't far off form hers as his eyes now were once again their normal deep green.

 

Kurama helped her off as they stood up, “Mother, if you don't mind, we'll be eating at Urameshi's tonight. Something's just came up.” He called back.

 

Shiori came to the doorway worried, “well, ok, Suichi. If something's wrong over there, I'm sure they need you.” She nodded.

 

“Thank you for understanding,” he nodded to her respectfully then turned to Desota, “get dressed.”

It had started raining when Kurama and Desota had arrived at the apartment Yusuke was using. Kurama held an umbrella for them to keep dry under and Desota had a newspaper bag where Kyo was snug and warm in, along with her battle uniform just in case. She wore a blue boat neck mid-sleeved shirt that was a few shades darker than her eyes and stopped short a few inches form her pants line, and dirt-brown cargo pants with a black belt to hold them up. Her hair was loose around her shoulders.

Kurama wore a white t-shirt with a green over shirt unbuttoned and fitting blue jeans with dark brown leather boots. His own dark red hair was left down as well- as always.

 

Shizieru opened the door when Desota knocked on it. She looked like she was slightly disappointed that it was them, “oh, good. You made it.” She smiled lightly and stepped aside, “come on in and wait with the rest of us.” She told them.

 

Keiko looked up and leaped up to welcome them and give Dessy a hug, “I'm so glad you made it in this weather!”

 

“Even if we had a bit of trouble, I could ward off the storm with my powers. I'm sure Ryu's trying to surpass the major bolts of lightning from hitting close to here right now.” Desota reassured as she nodded over to the dragon, who was lounging on the window seat looking out at the storm with a concentrated expression. He looked at her out of the corner of his eye with his orange eyes dryly.

 

“What ever, midget bitch.” He grumbled and looked back at the storm, “who says I'm SURPASING it? I could be ENCOURAGING it.”

 

“You'd be out side using more power to encourage it.” Desota pointed out without a second thought. Ryu glared at her.

 

“Feh, believe what you will. See if I care.” He flipped her off before returning his attention to the storm.

 

“That wasn't very nice, Ryu,” Botan scolded as she walked in the room with a hot cup of coffee he had requested. She glared at him and stopped in front of him, but didn't give him his coffee. He glared up at her.

 

“I'll do and say what I want when I want to her. Its what I always have done and always will be doing.” He snapped back, snatching his beloved coffee from her and once again ignoring all going on in favor of watching the storm again as Botan bristled at him.

 

Kurama narrowed his eyes at his back, but Desota put a hand on his arm to stop him form challenging the dragon, “he's venting.” She said with out malice even as the dragon grumbled insults at her.

 

“Kuwabara has been gone for a long time and Genkai said that the physics might have got him.” Yusuke said.

 

“Its dragon nature to get ancey and worried like this when one of their pack is in trouble and they cant help.” Desota shrugged and took a seat on the couch. Kurama opted to stand at her side.

 

Ryu snarled at her as he turned a glare at her over his shoulder, “you know what bitch, you're really getting on my fucking nerves and its not welcoming!”

 

“Awwwe,” Botan cooed at him as she hugged his neck, “you think of us as your FAMILY! That's why you're so worried about Kuwabara!”

 

“Shut up and get off me bitch! I cant breathe!” Ryu gasped for breath when she let up on her grip, but didn't let go. Desota noted with a grin that even the great dragon lord could blush when put into a situation like this, “and I DON'T think of you as my family. A pack and a family are different.”

 

“Not by much in standards,” Kurama happily chimed.

Ryu glared over at him, “Ooooh, I'll make you pay so bad.” He growled at the smirking fox as Botan started to choke him again. Everyone laughed as Ryu started to try getting away.

 

“Botan, let him go, I don't think he's breathing anymore.” Shizieru said in her almost monotone way.

 

Botan's bubble gum colored eyes widened in surprise and she let him go suddenly. The lack of support sent the dragon to the floor surprised with a loud `thunk' and `oomph'

 

“OH! IM SOOO SORRY RYU,” she gasped and helped him sit up, “you're not hurt are you?”

 

“No just get away from me!!” he barked backing away from her.

 

Desota giggled, “is the great dragon lord afraid of Botan?”

 

“I aint afraid of nuthin! I just aint in the mood to choke to death!” he protested.

 

Yusuke's head shot up and he turned all attention to the door, “Kuwabara?” He got up from the chair he was sitting in and ran out the door.

 

“Did he just say Kuwabara?” Keiko asked.

 

“He's been focusing his spirit energy to search for Kuwabara's life force to track him down, but the storm's been messing it up. I'm guessing Kuwabara has returned,” Genkai explained as she calmly sipped on her coffee.

 

Shizieru shot up and followed Yusuke out the door, only to stop just outside of it and turn around, “hey, these two could use some help out here! We've got injured!”

 

Ryu feigned reluctance as he sat up and stood up from the window seat and walked unrushed out the door to help. Kurama followed with Desota close behind to help. Ryu bent down to pull one of the boys Kuwabara had dragged back over his shoulder and when he glanced at the boy his eyes widened then narrowed with hate. He slung him off his shoulder to the wet sidewalk, not caring if the blond boy got hurt in the fall. No sound came from the unconscious form he had just thrown down so heartlessly as Ryu snarled.

 

“Leave him out here to die.” He said in a deadly cold voice as he stiffly turned to walk back inside. Desota and the others were shocked, and Desota tried to confront him.

 

“Ryu! He's hurt! We can't just leave him to-,”

 

“I SAID LEAVE HIM TO DIE OUT HERE OR I'LL HELP HIM ALONG THE WAY!” Ryu snapped lashingly as he whiled on her. His Orange eyes filled with blazing hate for the boy before them. Desota took a step back in alarm. Ryu realized how harsh he sounded and growled to himself in frustration as he looked away, clenching his fist.

 

“R-Ryu?” Desota hesitated to reach out to him. Kurama was tense- ready to defend his mate at all times.

 

Ryu gritted his teeth as he tuned his back to hide his rage, “its…. nothing. Just keep that….that THING out of my way, until he's awake- then he leaves or I wont be held responsible for my actions,” he whispered dangerously then started to walk away in the rain.

 

“RYU!” Desota called out, but he ignored her and kept walking, “WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU! YOU…YOU DAMN BASTARD!” She yelled at him, venting her frustration and confusion. She started to follow him, but Kurama held her back, “Let me go, Kurama!”

 

“Leave him be. He needs to console on his own for now.” Kurama said softly.

 

“But-,”

 

“Besides, we could use your help with these guys here.” Kurama cut her off.

 

Desota looked down at the five unconscious boys that the others had started to heave inside out of the rain. Her aqua eyes down casted to her feet, fighting herself not to chase after her only family-figure she had and to help these humans. She sighed and bent down to the blond boy Ryu had thrown down earlier to heave his arm over her shoulders, “I'll do what I can to help.”

Ryu leapt over the tops of the buildings to a higher point on a skyscraper where he felt the fresh wind blow his wild hair away from his face. His orange eyes were still narrowed in angered thought as he settled himself in the pouring rain near a gargoyle on the edge of a tall building.

 

`Sensui….' He thought with hate, `so you've started your attack now huh? Using human's now to do your dirty work as you poison their minds with that tape?' Ryu gritted his teeth as his fangs enlarged and over lapped his bottom lip a little. His pupils started to slit dangerously like a predators eyes.

 

“That low life bastard! He's trying to justify something his own mind THINKS he understands….No one understands it though. So no one has a right to decide the fate of a race like this.” Ryu thought aloud. His orange eyes softened a little and his eyes and fangs went normal again as he calmed himself down. The memories that he was still trying to keep from Desota were haunting him just from a visit form a former comrade.

 

----Memory----

 

It wasn't long ago- Sensui had taken in Desota from the streets and had -at first- treated her kindly. But then, he started to treat her as his property- inch-by-inch terrorizing her with frightful sights, especially from the tape he had copied form spirit world that showed the true horrors of mankind. He provoked Ryu's spirit to forcefully reawaken in her and once Ryu had, he locked away Desota's spirit to the safety of their spirits inner souls to hide her form Sensui's torture- leaving Ryu to defend them.

 

Sensui made a deal with the dragon- work for him with out questioning his wishes or deal with the knowing that Soukou could separate him and the hanyou at any time and Torture her even more. Ryu made a promise to himself that he would protect what her parents laid their lives down to save- the life of the hanyou child. He would do anything to see to it that she lived a life of peace- or at least what she could get close enough of it.

 

For 4 years, Ryu had worked under the insane man with out question- committing sins that he could never forget, and slowly, Desota's die hard spirit regained enough power to over take control again of the body they were forced to share. When she had become conscious enough to talk to him in their mind, Ryu had escaped to the dark tournament's crowds- hoping to throw Sensui off. He let Desota's spirit take over so that Sensui couldn't track him using his spirit pattern. The dragon worked hard to use all his strength to restrain those memories form Desota. He didn't want their past to break her fighting spirit, and was surprised that the restraining spell still held up after their spirits separated.

 

--------End of memory mode---

 

Ryu was worried now. With this kid now so close to Desota, Ryu wasn't sure that his spell would be enough to hold back her memories of… chapter black.

 

Although it wasn't his race that had committed such unthinkable crimes against both their kind and others, when Ryu saw the horrifying sights the tape held of pain and torture, even the great dragon lord fell to his knees terrified. It was the trick Sensui used on his human underlings to get them to aid him in his quest to destroy humanity. And for a while, the trick had worked on Ryu. For a while, he had believed all humans should die…

 

But that was then, and this was now. Ryu knew what mankind was capable of in darkness, but he had gotten a glimpse of what it was like in the light of mankind. He saw the love of a family. When he was slumbering in Desota's soul in her childhood years. Occasionally, he would wake up when Desota's emotions ran haywire, and there- what he would always see and feel calm them down was her- Eve. She was the human mother that gave birth to Desota -and Ryu to some extent- since he was casted to her childs growing spirit while she was still in her mother's womb. Ryu didn't remember his real mother, but he imagined that if he had one, she probably was something like Eve. The woman knew her child was half demon and that her powers would eventually awaken in her and change her baby forever to a hanyou- an out cast to both the human and demon worlds. Yet….

 

Yet the woman didn't care. She loved her baby deeply and when her father and Eve's mate had come to take the child away to train as a demon, Eve let her go. Knowing it was for the best. Ryu had never seen such love as that woman gave to the child Desota once loved and felt guilty for having to keep such memories form the hanyou, but it couldn't be helped. The spell had to restrain all memories after a certain point.

 

Ryu let his headrest on his knees with a sigh. How was he going to wiggle out of this one? It was infuriating that his great power he possessed wasn't enough to stop the inevitable form happening. He knew that sooner or later the damn he put up for her protection would break and she would probably turn on him. He didn't think that even Yoko Kurama could catch the pieces of her shattered heart when that time came. It put a stab in his soul to think about it.

 

Suddenly, Ryu's eyes flashed and a bolt of lightning clashed close by as his temper slipped a little.

 

“What do you think your trying to do- approaching me like this?” he growled lowly. He didn't have to turn around to know who it was.

 

A tall man stepped out of the shadows. His black short hair was slicked back besides one strand of his bangs that curled in front. His dark cold blue eyes were relaxed as they regarded the Dragon's Humanoid form brooding by the gargoyle in the storm. Beside him was the same biker teen that always followed him that had sunglasses on. Why he needed to wear dark shades in a thunderstorm was of no concern of Ryu's. All he felt was deep wounding heat of rage for either of them.

 

“I have come to see if you were well, pet.” The man said almost mockingly, “word on the playground is that you're separated form that little hanyou girl we use to play with. How is she?”

 

“Go fuck one of your lap dogs!” Ryu snapped at him as he glanced over his shoulder before looking back over the city to try and ignore them. More burst of lightning and thunder rolled over the dark stormy sky as a reflection of his temper that was slipping quickly.

 

Sensui merely laughed as if the dragon had said a joke that amused him, “come now Ryu, you're killing me! I have so missed your sense of humor.”

 

“Oh to joy. I should take up comedy and become a comedian.” Ryu mumbled darkly, “why are you here? And don't fuck around with me. If you beat around the bush you wont see me for a while and what ever you planed on using me with wont work.”

 

“Ever the business man,” Sensui chuckled, “perhaps we could step out of the rain and discuss this as two gentlemen should?”

 

“I'm fine out here. I like the idea of an open sky. If I get too pissed off, I have free access to the clouds to call a lightning bolt to fry you and your little boy-toy's scrawny ass.” Ryu replied.

 

“Very well, suit yourself.” Sensui nodded to the boy next to him, “you may wait inside. This wont take long.” With that silent command, the boy left Sensui and Ryu alone in the stormy weather out on a skyscraper's roof top edge, “enjoying your freedom, Ryukunai?”

 

“We're on a full name basis now?” Ryu said rhetorically and dryly, “I thought I said get to the fucking point and get the fuck away from me.”

 

“Very well,” Sensui's voice deepened as he started to get serious, “I have a use for you back under my command.”

 

“You already know my answer so get your ass moving and go back to your boy toys and away from my life. You can't touch me while I have full rein on my powers. Soukou died trying to conquer them.”

 

“You're mistaken, Ryukunai.” Sensui smiled when Ryu twisted to look him in the eye, “Soukou, like the rest of your comrades are waiting for your return to us. He isn't even the least bit vengeful from your little duel over your power the other day.”

 

“So it was all a set up? You WANTED that to happen!? YOU WANTED DESOTA AND I TO SPLIT!!” Ryu's voice rose with vengeance, “NO FUCKING WAY AM I GOING BACK! YOU'VE GOT NOTHING ON ME! EVEN WITH ONE OF YOUR BOY TOYS BACK AT URAMESHI'S! THEY WONT FALL FOR THAT!”

 

“Fall for what? Sea Man has already worn out his use. What happens to him now is of no concern of mine. He found the `one' and he led our suspicions to be true. Soukou's return was the final confirmation that you indeed were back to your original body.”

 

“You- YOU'RE USING A KID!!” Ryu roared, “YOU'RE SUCH A SICK BASTARD! YOU JUST THROW AWAY A LIFE WHEN THEIR USE IS WORN OUT HUH!? IS THAT IT!”

 

“That's the way this world works. We things are useful and we use them. When they have worn out and are of no use, there is no point in keeping it around.” Sensui shamelessly admitted.

 

“So there must be something you want with my power then. Since you've gone through all this trouble just to get me back.” Ryu smirked at him, “too bad you fucking bastard! There's no way in hell I'll-,”

 

“Tomorrow, we'll check in on Urameshi's team.” Sensui said out of the blue.

 

“You what?”

 

“Our reasoning is to dispose of a loose end and to obtain what Black Angel needs to finish the barrier.” Sensui's eyes softened, but they held a deadly tone to them, “things could get confusing I wont have any control over our comrades if their lustful eyes fall on you're little hanyou you've sworn to protect. While she was with us, I could protect her form her torture going THAT far, but since I'll have my hands tied……..,” he let that threat hang for a while.

 

A bold of lightning flashed and just missed Sensui. He didn't flinch in the least of even blink an eye. He knew he got him now.

 

“You will not hurt or touch her.” Ryu warned darkly. His orange eyes flashed angrily, “if one grubby hand falls on HER, I'll kill every one of you- and I'll enjoy it. Oh yes, I will take great pleasure in ripping you all from limb to limb while keeping you alive so you can feel it all. You can try and use your destruction power on me, but it'll take a lot to bring me down in my true form. Dragon hide can only be easily penetrated by unicorn horn and you know it- from what I've heard, those twig-headed pansies all died out when the demon's masque them.”

 

“No harm will happen to your little bitch, so long as you behave like a good pet.” Sensui blew off the threat easily, “now come.” With out another word, the tall man turned and left.

 

Ryu looked back over the rainstorm. An image of Desota crying out in pain form torture flashed in his mind. Ryu clenched his eyes closed and when they opened they were in that predatory state once more as he let out a blood-churning roar from his dragon throat. Hundreds of lightning bolts streaked across the sky as his lightning powers surged threw the storm wildly as he let out his frustrated, angered, and regretful cry.

Kyo was resting on the window bed in Yusukes bedroom where they had relocated the blond boy and Kuwabara to treat their wounds. Desota was leaning on the wall as she sat down just below Kyo- next to the bed watching over the nameless boy. They knew he was one of the 7 but not much else. Kuwabara didn't say much before he was out cold from exhaustion. Some how, she felt she knew him from somewhere, but she couldn't decipher it. She had pushed that thought away long ago- determined to do what ever she could to help the nameless boy heal better. Kurama had used his mixed herbs to help the wounds heal properly and already they were starting to do much better.

 

The said Kurama was -once again- sitting closely at Desota's side. His arm was wrapped around her waist reassuringly. Every time he felt her tense up, his hand would gently rub her abdomen where he could reach to soothe her nerves. Oddly -from her prospective- it worked. She calmed down quickly soon as he started that. The others thought that little tidbit of information was interesting- since when did Kurama start showing a PUBLIC display of affection for Desota?

 

Suddenly, Kyos' ears perked up and he mewled curiously at the window.

 

“What's wrong Ky-,” a loud BOOM of thunder made the lights cut off for a few minutes before they flickered back on. The window's filled with blinding light of hundreds of lightning bolts close by.

 

Keiko scooted closer to Yousuke and he unconsciously put an arm around her shoulders, “s-some storm, ne?” she whispered with a quivering voice.

 

Desota and Kyo didn't take their eyes off the window. They were on full alert.

 

“Desota?” Kurama nudged her.

 

“Hum?” she shook her head to looked back to see everyone looking at her curiously, “oh nothing, It's probably just Ryu venting some of his anger in the storm before he returns.” She waved them off.

 

“He can influence thunder storms?” Botan awed.

 

“Yes. I can too, but he can control and create them with his power. We're both electricity/lightning based in our power, but there's a difference between the peer and the teacher. No matter how good I get at my power, Ryu will be the stronger one since he taught me how to control my power.” Desota explained.

 

There was a bit of silence after that.

 

“When do you think he'll come back?” Keiko asked- even if it was the question that everyone wanted to know.

 

“Probably by dawn.” Desota reassured, “by then the rain should stop.” She smiled, trying to ease any worry form her.

 

Kurama stood up, “I'll return in a little while, but I have something I must do.” He said simply and started for the door. Everyone blinked at him in confusion and Desota cocked her head to the side curiously. Kurama smiled when he caught the gesture as he looked over his shoulder, “he should be fine with the herbs now. Don't wait up.” He said, referring to the nameless blond boy, and with that he left.

 

“Wander where he's going,” Yusuke pouted when his friend got to leave but he was stuck, as a watchdog for sick people although having Keiko so closely snuggled to him was a perk to the idea. So he found that he didn't mind TOO much.

 

“Probably to go back home and check on Shiori. It is a pretty bad storm right now,” Botan mused.

 

Desota didn't say anything. She was busy practically staring at the young man that lay in bandages on Yusuke's bed. Her thoughts tugged at her- nagging that she knew this boy, but when she tried to remember, all she got was a black sheet. Zip-Notta-Nothing. She sighed frustrated at her lack of remembrance as Kyo carefully made his way to the bed. He sniffed at the boy curiously before squealing at Desota. At least KYO seemed to remember him. He never forgot a heart he felt before. So they had to have met somewhere somehow…
