Chapter 5: The Rose Trick

Kori's POV

I would like to thank Koenma for getting me into this mess. And I'd like to slap Yoko for telling me I'm a psychotic kitsune with mental problems, anger issues, and I look like bones. I already KNOW that.

It's not my fault; I just didn't have the best life and that's the reason for everything except for the bones. I just don't gain weight; and you lose quite a few pounds when all your doing is running.

"Are you ready or not?" I asked. Yoko was silent. "I'll eat later. Stop staring at me."

"No... It's just that you changed a lot since this morning," he stated, then looked up. "I mean, that day."

"Twenty years can do that to a person," I muttered.

I wasn't quite like I was that day, but I was close enough. I could care less about my appearance, but I knew I looked like a mess.

"I'm ready," Yoko stated.

I touched my finger to the same large blue petal and it glowed again.....

"Yoko Kurama, you are a sick pervert," Kori snapped, smacking him in the back of his head.

"OW! What the hell are you talking about?" Yoko asked. "And what did my head ever do to you?"

"Nothing, I just happened to have the great misfortune to be saved by it," Kori stated, grabbing his arm and starting to pull him away.

"You know you can be a real bitch sometimes, you know that," Yoko growled. But he was happy because he had managed to get Kori to hold his hand instead of his arm. "Now why'd you smack me?"

"Because you were staring at that neko like she was somehing to eat," Kori stated, tugging on his hand.

"It's not my fault. Did you see what she was wearing?" he asked, as she turned around and glared at him. "Ohh.. I get it. You're jealous aren't you?"

"Yeah, I'm jealous of Kuro. He gets to go off, I get you," Kori stated. "Now shut up, while I look for him." Yoko just shook his head and followed. At least she hadn't let go of his hand.

"What are you two doing?" came the bat's voice.

"Looking for you," Kori stated.

"Trying not to get smacked," Yoko replied.

"Why would..." Kuronue started, than shook his head. "I don't want to know."

"Are we going back to the hideout then?" Yoko asked.

"I'm not going back right now, but I'll be back soon. Don't worry," Kuronue stated, as he started to disappear back into the forest. "And stay out of trouble." They both knew that it was directed to Kori.

Kori just murmmured a few choice words about "that bat" who was "going to pay" for leaving her with "a perveted baka kitsune. Yoko just pulled her along and she followed, silently...

Yoko's POV

A crash inturrupted the memory. Kori looked shocked, actually froozen. I didn't understand, but I knew that she would have to be protected. Footsteps came from all directions, but they didn't sound familiar. But it sounded like, at the most, twenty demons.

I took the rose out of my hair and made it into a whip, at the same time that those demons decided to attack. I wasn't sure what they wanted, but if they even came near Kori they would be dead. Well, technically, I killed them anyway.

"GAH!" came a male's voice. Damnit! Why, when I always turn my back on her, does Kori always get herself into trouble? I whipped around, but it turns out she was safe. She had split the demon in half. She had protected herself with her own whip: the whip that had wrapped around her hair.

She had taught me that trick before. "Only amatures depend on judt their arms and legs." But...

The red hair boy with the green eyes stood, with whip wrapped around his long red hair. His opponent split into pieces on the ground before him. "Only amatures depend on arms and legs to win."

Kori's POV

Yoko's eyes had glazed over slightly. I stood up and went infront of him. "Yoko? Are you alright?" I asked. "Yoko? Are you in there?"

He blinked and then stared at me. "Are you alright?" Yoko asked.

"I'm fine," I replied. "You kinda got lost for a second. Anything wrong?"

"I just... saw something," Yoko replied. "What about you?"

"Once you start a memory, you can't get out of it," I replied. "I was fully aware of what was going on, but I was still trappped in the memory." I turned around and looked at the wilted flower. "Which we will have to continue some other time."

"Why did that happen?"

"Long story."
