(Hiei Jaganshi) The Chosen: (Chapter 1) - (The Beginning)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOMRa8z32c0&feature=related

Something was wrong.

Hiei couldn’t tell what it exactly was, but he did know there was something—being a demon had many bonuses, one of them was feeling the air around him, the emotion of others, the pain…and the hurt.

Koenma’s hard and somber expression wasn’t the one thing that had him feeling suddenly--nervous.

But the grave air that hovered around him, he half guessed that someone had died—not that he cared the slightest bit, but he was curious what this had to do with him—in the unlikely event that something had happened that would involve him, Koenma knew better than to think he, Hiei would help.

Unless…

Hiei looked down and slightly back, at the raven-haired girl gripping his arm, he faintly noted that—if he was acting normal, there would be no way possible that he would let her hold him this familiarly—what he did notice, was that maybe this was about her.

Why couldn’t it be? This girl had just entered his life, and as soon as she did didn’t things change? Didn’t it mean, he didn’t just have to worry about himself anymore, but also her?

She had been looking forward at the desk and the prince—but only a few seconds after he turned to stare at her she looked up at him, it seemed as if she had sensed him.

Hiei quickly looked away back to Koenma, Was if this is about her? If it is, then it was natural for Koenma to turn to him—but what about Yusuke?

Just as he thought this, the real Yusuke spoke up from behind him.

“Make it quick babybreath I’m tired, unless you want me to crash right here you better shoot”

Koenma sighed and put his face in his hands.

“Same old Yusuke” He whispered. Hiei could hear him clearly as if he was standing beside him, but only because of his high attuned demon ear’s, built to hear any sound within a mile radius—he wasn’t sure if Yusuke, as a human—could hear as well as he could, but he doubted it.

Koenma looked back at them, his face now a tinge more anxious then it was before, panicking seemed to be the toddlers specialty, whatever had happened Hiei didn’t think it was that much of a threat, at least to him—he wasn’t sure about the person next to him.

“Yusuke, Hiei…there is a problem…” He started.

“Isn’t there always?” Yusuke pointed out sarcastically.

Hiei silently agreed with him.

Koenma didn’t smile, but stuck out his hand to take some papers from George his right hand ogre assistant.

He looked down at the documents his eyes flashing down not really reading sentence by sentence.

There was more then one page but Koenma didn’t continue reading, instead he held out the papers to the two detectives in front of him.

His expression was nervous as he watched Yusuke come forward to take them out of his hands, than begin to read them his expression bored.

Hiei could sense clearly the apprehensive air around the toddler, and the sweat that clinged to his forehead made him even more suspicious and slightly impatient.

He decided to not wait for Yusuke to pass him the papers, he looked up at Koenma and felt the familiar brush of immense hot air fill his mind before it became cool again, and images began to flash through it, mostly words though.

He could not make much sense of what he heard and saw.

Koenma was thinking about many things all at once, mostly about something called the Melody Dance? And how he was going to propose Yuna to the other owners of Chosen Summoner’s, There was also the thought of Hiei and Yusuke’s reactions toward the paper that Yusuke now held in his hand—besides that he wondered about what he was going to eat for a late night snack and the wolf-like-creature that Botan had explained to them about, Lexus…Koenma’s mind lingered on the beast, Hiei found out with a start that it would attack anyone that made contact with the girl.

He couldn’t help looking back to Yuna, her face was looking away from him, but like before the moment she felt his gaze she turned her head to look at him, and again he looked away quickly—he didn’t like to look at her face, it made him think too many foolish things—he quickly concentrated back to his thoughts.

How could he touch her than without the beast appearing?

Was it possible that it didn’t mind him touching her? Even after what had happened just a few short hours ago?

His thoughts were interrupted by Yusuke’s sudden words.

“Why can’t she just go to this gathering thing by herself?” Yusuke asked directing it to Koenma, while holding up the papers.

Koenma rolled his eyes.

“Obviously Yusuke because you and Hiei are her masters, I chose you two for the job to lead her to be the best summoner she can be, a choice I am beginning to regret” He added glaring at them.

Yusuke looked away from his offense and started to whistle innocently.

“This gathering is for the summoner’s and master’s to gather together and get to know each other better—since actually this meeting is only for masters and Chosen Summoner’s, it is quite important, especially for Yuna since she is as you know the top one” Koenma explained knowing full well that Yusuke didn’t read about all the details.

“How can she be the top one and whatever, she can’t even fight!” Yusuke exclaimed.

“You should know” Koenma answered, for once showing his unusually sarcastic side.

Yusuke rolled his eyes than looked back at Hiei and Yuna.

“Can she fight?”

Surprising all of them Yuna spoke up, her light and innocent voice warming the atmosphere almost instantly.

“I can fight, I just can’t fight in the way you speak of—I am a summoner and that is all I know what to be, if you teach me I’m sure-“ She broke off and looked hesitantly at Koenma.

He nodded sharply.

She nodded back not getting the shake quite right and continued.

“I’m sure if you show me some moves I’ll be able to copy them, perhaps…”

Her eyes went a familiar dark gray for a split moment, than returned to normal.

“Fist Fighting?” She suggested her face not quite confused but mostly hopeful.

Yusuke stared at her for a long moment before a crooked smile appeared on his face, than it widened than it became a smirk and finally he opened his mouth and loud laughs came from it.

He clutched his stomach and bent, it looked as if he was pain, except for the fact that he was plainly in hysterics.

“Teach…haha...you… HAHAHAHA…punching!”

He couldn’t speak anymore; the only sounds coming from him were of the diverted kind.

“Idiot” Hiei muttered under his breath.

Though he couldn’t quite blame the detective, he had sudden images of the girl trying to punch a demon, it was quite amusing.

“Take this seriously you two!” Koenma exclaimed, but he was forcing himself not to smile, the thoughts of Yuna in a fist fight were also appearing in his head.

“Seriously!” Yusuke laughed out.

Koenma sighed and waited patiently for Yusuke to stop his behavior—But that moment came sooner than expected, because Botan just then entered the office in a loud puff of blue smoke.

“Now Yusuke, don’t laugh—you’ll hurt Yuna’s feelings!” Botan said looking at him disapprovingly.

She was holding a number of unique and familiar items in her arms, which drew Yusuke’s attention away from the image in his head.

He straightened up and looked over at her curiously.

“What’s all that stuff?”

Botan looked down at the things she was holding than back at Yusuke, “These are for Yuna, her equipment—and you better not lay a hand on them Yusuke!” She warned threateningly.

He snorted.

“Like I would”

Botan seemed to trust his unwillingness, she walked over to Hiei and Yuna the things tilted out toward Yuna as she reached them.

“Hey Yuna!” Botan said beaming.

“Hi, Bo-San” Yuna replied tilting her head and smiling at Botan.

“Are you ready to start your training tomorrow?”

Yuna’s expression suddenly turned confused.

“Training? But wasn’t there a meeting tomorrow?”

Now it was Botan’s turn to be confused, she looked back at Koenma.

“Meeting what does she mean Koenma sir?”

“There is to be a gathering for the Chosen Summoner’s tomorrow Botan, We will have to pull back the date for Yuna’s first training schedule” He explained quickly.

Botan looked at him blankly for a moment than turned frantic.

“What! They’re having a meeting already? But Yuna isn’t ready to meet other Summoner’s yet! Especially Chosen summoners all she knows is the basics, and she hasn’t even met Lexus yet! “

Koenma sighed wearily.

“I know Botan, but we’ll have to fill her up on the need -to -know -info tonight, while we can—so that tomorrow with a bit of luck, she can act accordingly.”

“I only have tonight!” Botan exclaimed gaping at the prince.

He nodded.

“But you will not have to do it alone Botan” Kurama’s voice said from behind them.

The group turned to face the doors where Kurama stood leaning on them.

Botan looked at him blankly for a moment, then she realized his meaning—a bright smile appeared on her face.

“Really! You mean you’ll help?”

He smiled at her.

“Of course, it is for Yuna after all, speaking of the subject of helping—Yusuke offers his help as well along with Hiei”

“Yusuke is going back home to crash” Yusuke corrected him.

“No, you will stay here and you will help us with your summoner” Kurama retorted, the smile had disappeared from his face.

Yusuke opened his mouth, no doubt about to say something sarcastic; when Yuna walked up to him.

“Sama, I can’t do this by myself; I need you” She looked up at him her expression for the first time—pleading.

Yusuke looked down at her looking extremely prickly and awkward.

She looked like she was going to cry, if he said no or something-- and he couldn’t stand girls crying.

“Alright, Alright, whatever I’ll help” He grumbled.

“Arigato Sama!” Yuna suddenly yelled.

She jumped up and put her arms around his neck to hug him.

“Hey!” Yusuke exclaimed his face turning the color of a ruby.

Botan giggled.

“Isn’t Yuna so nice Yusuke?”

“Maybe she will be when she lets go of me!”

Her mood reversed suddenly.

“You don’t have to be so mean, Yuna’s really happy now Yusuke”

“Hmph”

“As we were saying” Kurama cut in.

“The first thing to do is introduce Lexus to Yuna”

Abruptly everyone in the room stiffened.

“But the office might not be the best place”

“Then where?” Botan asked.

“Perhaps in the arena, I’ve had one built below this floor, it’s used for mostly tests on summoner’s or the like, but it’s roomy.” Koenma suggested flying over to them.

“That will do just fine” Kurama agreed.

“Whoa!” Yusuke exclaimed loudly.

His open mouth almost reached the floor, and his eyes were wide.

The group now knew that Koenma had not correctly defined the room in which they now stood in correctly. He had said arena which was quite an understatement. The room would be properly assigned as small coliseum.

Yusuke turned to Koenma who was floating a few inches off the floor next to him.

“Um how big is Lexus exactly?” He asked nervously.

Hiei scoffed from the left of Yusuke.

Yusuke glanced at him; his expression looked even more reluctant than before if that was possible.

“He is about 9 feet average” Koenma answered plainly.

Yusuke gulped and turned to face back to the voluminous sized room.

It stretched up what seemed thousands of feet, and it was quite wide, wide enough so that Yusuke had to look closely to see the other side of the place.

Nothing flashy was designed on it though, even due to its gigantean size—there was a normal black strip colored in the middle of the walls leading around the coliseum.

There were many machines similar to the one Yusuke, Hiei, and Kurama had seen before in the room where they met Yuna, they were backed up close to the side of the room.

“Isn’t that” Yusuke stated pointing at one of the particular machines a few feet from them.

“Yes, that is a container for summoner’s” Koenma said.

“Speaking of which” Kurama said also looking at the machine. “Why not show the group how real summoner’s battle Koenma”

Koenma suddenly looked alert.

“That can wait later I’m sure, right now we just have to make Yuna recognize her first aeon”

“I think it would be best if we make Hiei and Yusuke see the… possibilities of having a summoner, as soon as possible.” Kurama argued.

Koenma sighed.

“If that’s what you think is best, but I do not agree on this point, just so you know”

Kurama smiled.

“I know”

Koenma turned to the machine and flew over to it.

The group followed a little confused.

“Hey Hiei what’s he gonna show us?” Yusuke asked behind him.

Hiei narrowed his eyes for almost a half second before replying.

“He intends to release some girls from that contraction; he’ll order them to fight”

As he spoke Koenma unlocked a hatch to the machine, a screen just like the one they saw Yuna through came up from the ground making everyone jump except for Hiei Kurama and Koenma.

Koenma went over to the screen and pressed a few buttons attached to the side, he flashed through many images of girls, not un similar from the one’s in the other machine—Yusuke and Botan peeked over his shoulder to see a orange long haired girl with many freckles, her cheeks were enlightened with red slightly but not much, Yusuke couldn’t help getting the feeling she was a bit of a tomboy.

“Who’s that Koenma sir?” Botan asked from behind him.

“That Botan, is Rikku Sara Tommi” He answered simply.

Botan walked over beside him and looked at the clipboard he was holding she gasped when she saw the contents of the page, making the rest of the group come over to look.

“But she’s number 003!”

“Can I get a clipnote here?” Yusuke asked looking confused and slightly annoyed.

Botan turned to him looking suddenly extremely annoyed.

“Your summoner is number 001 the first one ever made and prophesied to be more special than all the other summoner’s she’s called Yuna Ann Flanora, she is also a blood type O, knows about 200 languages, she can use most basic spells, and can summon Lexus the wind god, one of the chosen Aeon’s that guards over the three worlds, GOT IT?!”

Yusuke raised his hand’s and backed away sweatdropping.

“Yah got it, got it. Geez girls are so scary when their mad, she almost beats Keiko” He muttered.

Botan glared hearing his words but turned away from him.

She wasn’t mad at Yusuke particularly, just hated how he was so clueless at times.

“Koenma sir, did you know she was here?” She asked him.

He shook his head, he was rubbing his chin thoughtfully looking down at the girl called Rikku.

"Perhaps, she is the one destined to be Yuna's partner?" He said under his breath.

Yusuke had heard and rubbed his ears wearily thinking that he had not heard correctly.

"Is it just me or did he just say partner?"

Kurama chuckled understanding that Yusuke had misread Koenma's words.

"Not partner in the way you think Yusuke, Koenma is talking about Form Teams"

"Form teams?"

"Form teams are a group of three summoner's that can change forms all at once, so instead of having one summoner you have three that fit together so perfectly as a team, they can summon not only more amazing and powerful creatures they can also make as many of them as they want instead of just one--it usually takes many months of training for a summoner to be able to summon more than one beast at a time"

"So your saying they're stronger when three of these girls get together?" Yusuke pointed out.

"Not just any three girls, all three have to have similar...designs, on their skin."

"Oh"

"You mean like tattoo's?"

Kurama sweatdropped.

"You could say that"

Yusuke turned back to Koenma who was still facing the screen.

"Why do you think this... Rikku person belongs in Yuna's group?"

Koenma silently pointed a finger at the screen.

The whole group came up behind him and looking closely at the screen.

"This girl-" Yuna started to say.

Everyone turned to look at her alarmed by her empty voice.

"I know her"

Thank U!

Sorry to tell you this but I can’t do anything about Yusuke being really weak at the moment, but I’ll give you a hint, at the beginning of the story in the second chapter Fist Fight, Yusuke beats up a bunch of people pretty good huh?

So think when did he start to get weak?

I’ll leave you to think about that, or if you’d rather wait, I’ll explain it soon in the story—or in better words Kurama and Botan will.
