Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Who's Shuichi? ❯ 24 ( Chapter 23 )

 

I'm not afraid of anything
I just need to know that I can breath
And I don't need much of anything
But suddenly suddenly

I am small and the world is big
All around me is fast moving
Surrounded by so many things
Suddenly suddenly

[chorus]
How does it feel
To be different from me
Are we the same
How does it feel
To be different from me
Are we the same
How does it feel

I am young
And I am free
But I get tired and I get weak
I get lost and I can't sleep
But suddenly suddenly

chorus

Would you comfort me
Would you cry with me

I am small
And the world is big
But I'm not afraid of anything

chorus

Oh oh oh...

How does it feel
How does it feel
You're different from me
Different
How does it feel
How does it feel
You're different from me
Different

 

Avril Lavigne - How does it feel?

A/N: You may be reading this chapter and thinking `WTF??' well…I did say that this is known as the `confusion Arc' Please bear with this as it will make sense VERY soon (as in now) and there is a reason behind this.

Enjoy!.

It was there, it there in my bloody grasp and quickly as I saw it, it was gone…..vanished. Shit!

 

What am I talking about? Sorry I have a habit of confusing people out of sheer enjoyment. #laughs# I'm on about the staff. It took us about a fortnight to get to where that Hiyama was (along with his two-weird lady friends). Youko was quick to make mince-meat of them by sucking their insides out with those plants of his.

 

I was scared! You'd think I'd be used to it by now but each time seemed grosser than the last. I was having trouble keeping my food down y'know!

 

Then, something bizarre happened to Youko….

 

[Flashback]

 

There was an awkward silence in the immense tower where the staff had been kept. Kaina's troops had stormed it earlier, creating a musty stench of death.

The uneasiness that lingered between both Mina and Youko had increased as both soon were to realise that they might not cross paths again - well, that's the impression in Mina's case.

 

“Mina………you have to go now”

“Go? Where? Is the place gonna crumble? You need the loo?”

 

The fox Youkai snarled impatiently, the human girl in truth had rubbed off on him - more than he anticipated. If he was to `study' her further, he would have to send her back - against both their wishes.

 

“Mina just LISTEN to me, you've been here too long. You have to go home…I …know I wanted your answer at the start but… you still need time to prepare yourself; from what's to come in the near possible future………”

 

Her expression made his body wrack with relentless guilt - not the sort to beat yourself up with, no….it was the fact that he knew she had to go back to a world where she was nothing but a misshapen puzzle piece.

If only he could selfishly take her away from it all; so that no one could expose her. But then being exposed to human life wouldn't allow for such a thing to happen, it would be unfair after all.

 

Unfair on himself.

 

Without any more delay, he grudgingly placed his clawed hand on her grubby shoulder; placing enough pressure to send her blindly crashing to the floor….

 

[End Flashback]

 

You see? So I'm here, Back home…well I'm in class bored out of my fricken head whilst Miss Hirugashi's handing out test papers…I wasn't there!! Mind you, it wouldn't make a difference #sniggers#

 

“Miss Miss! Mina's cheating again! I saw her look at the answers in the text book under her desk!”

 

Dam that Sui! Do I LOOK like a cheater? A con-artist maybe but no way a cheater….

Slamming the chair under that rickety `ole desk of mine (causing Miss Hirugashi to wrinkle her pursed lips in disgust) and marched over to the back where a certain `shrinking-violet' was trying to slink under her own placement.

 

“Tell me something SuiMatsuya…does it give you satisfaction to pathetically make my life hell?? News flash! You're not worth jack squat”

 

“Miss Asako please report yourself to Mr Takenaka's office immediately!”

“Yeah, yeah I'm going! No need to yell the school down! #grumbles# I'll just take my stuff before you give me a DT for breathing…”

 

I can see that little black-haired wench smirk her caked face off….I swear if it wasn't for the fact I promise mum not to get into any fights at school; I'd do more than just introduce her to the soldering iron….

 

Feh, screw going to see the principle…. I'm gonna sit out here, throw stones and skip class!

 

`I wouldn't do that if I was you…'

`What the…? Ok, I'm gonna start charging rent at this rate!'

 

I looked up, only to find that shrimp Hiei sitting on a branch looking down at me…meh, what's new?

 

“What are you doing here Hiei? Kurama and Tsuki don't go to this school remember? Or has that third eye of yours taken too much of brain space..”

 

“Heh heh …still sulking over that baka Kitsune….you humans are so dense…”

“Ha ha…very funny - you should be a stand up comedian….”

 

A letter dropped onto my lap.

“Oh, and Koenma thanks you for getting that staff….by the way, he reckons that Youko did that to you because his soft-side was interfering… fool…he's fallen deeper than expected…”

 

I gazed at him with such confusion that anyone would've of thought I was on my way to the loony-bin! Either that or to the exam room.

 

“Deeper than….expected?” But in a blink of an eye, my question was nothing more than said to the wind.

Unfolding the piece of paper I scanned through the letter. Woah…it reads:-

 

Miss Asako,

 

I cannot hold back any longer. I fear that even catching your scent in the gentlest of breezes would send me into state of covetousness.

The worst part is that I see you every day after school and even let you into my own home; knowing that you are unawares of who I really am.

I wish to tell you at some point but I'm concerned about how you would react to such a confession as this so I thought it would be wise to just let you figure it out.

 

You're a smart girl, don't deny yourself that. I just hope that you do find out by yourself in time before any sort of primal emotions set in. I'd suggest that you stay away from me for a few weeks as from now. I do not wish to end up regretting anything that might have been easily avoided from the start. As you can see I've taken any necessary precautions that are needed in the near future.

 

Please don't worry about me,

 

Kurama xxx

 

 

 

Kurama….? How can I stay away from you? We're bloody sociology partners! No, can't think of that now….what's got into him? He's as strange as Youko Kurama…

 

Wait…

 

No….

 

Surely it can't be so?

 

Could it be that Kurama IS Youko Kurama? Oh my god….

Mina how the hell could you be so STUPID!! Hiei's right - you're denser than space itself , for crying out loud the answer was IN HIS NAME!!

And now the dope's saying to me not worry…that's the last thing not to tell me - How long as he felt that way? If it's since that hockey puck incident then it's all down to pity…if it's before that, then I want to know when?

Mum never really took me anywhere when I was younger (and that was because I'd end up breaking something) unless…#starts walking out of the school and down the road#

 

“Mina Akane Asako?”

I turned around to see a handsome middle-aged man (around late twenties/early thirties) short Jet black hair, green eyes and the skin of soft honey dew, about 6ft 4. I recognize him somehow…but only faintly.

 

“Uh-huh…why…who are you?”

What's with this guy? He's smiling at me with slight teary-eyes. Scary.

 

“Oh Mina don't you recognize me? You've got my skin tone and my smile…I'm Sachi Asako…your dad”

 

Holy shite…. T-two bombshells in one day….

 

Does it get any more confusing than this?
