Author's Note: Okay...you wanted a sequel, here you go. >3 Sorry for the
lack of actual sex in this one, but that's what part III is for. >3
Let me explain this one. First off, it's a continuation of a fic I did for
Kagome.
Second off, huge applause to Faerie-luv, because I know what a Kenshin/Kauro
fan she is, and I respect that. For her to say what she did...it's not something
that happens--period. _^_!! And it gave me a chance to do a second part to
Dangerous Beauty, where as I had not an idea before of how to do so. We
discussed that one way to just tick EVERYONE off was go against the Touya/Jin
peeps, the Hiei/Kurama, or Kurama/Mary Sue peeps, and throw Kenshin, the
red-head, in for good measure. >3 This is the end result of that conversation
we had.
In short, you stand warned. This will have shounen-ai, and anything else that
falls in. AND it's a cross-over. Aside from that, I am aware of a little missing
canon-ness, the deal is, it always seemed odd to me Touya and Kurama stopped
their fight to converse, granted Kurama was trying to buy time. I think Touya
would have noticed it sooner. Either way, I changed that up a bit so it fight
into the timeline.
Another thing, since I do respect the Kenshin/Kaoru peeps, and I actually
like it in the manga (to me it was just a little overbearing in the anime. From
the get-go they sorta highlight it, and that gets on my nerves. The manga isn't
like that, so in the manga version, I actually like them together) I put in a
little moment at the end. ^^; I know, it's not much, but it's the most I could
do, for now. (And for the record, I adore Kaoru, I really do. I just also like
to pick on her sometimes, kinda like Yahiko. I see him and Kaoru as just having
a healthy sibling type relationship, since neither of them actually had
siblings. And Kaoru really does make a good big-sister for him. ^________^)
(And of course, the title isn't original. Since when have my titles ever
been? >D I prefer song lyrics anyhow. >D They say more than I can. >D)
Disclaimer: No...I don't own anyone from YYH, or Rurouni Kenshin, or either
show, or anything relating to any other show that may end up mentioned. I do not own Heaven, or any miscellaneous
spirits. Nor do I own the sweet little crow. That idea actually came from being
around Dina too much at the RP. I just adore Karasu as a crow, and think it's
the cutest, fluffiest thing in existence, so it stays. So no, I don't own the
idea of the crow. Nor do I really take full responsibility for the conversation in Reikai
between Kurama and Yusuke in relation to his under garments. That started in
chat with Armand, though I finished it. (Forget what else came from
chats...mostly everything. >D) In fact, I don't even own many freedoms. (DARN YOU BUSH!!!! >O)
I'm starting this year off with a bang. ^_________________^
Dangerous Beauty Part II

We Are Fighting--Don't Stop

(Started: 1-12-04)
Time had passed, quicker than Kurama was prepared for, and while he still
helped Koenma, it was no longer mandatory, and he strayed from visiting Heaven,
though it was hard for him to stay away. He would sometimes find himself
drifting off and looking towards the entrance to the peaceful section of Reikai,
but disciplined as always, he was composed not long after.
It was not until later, when Yusuke found himself involved in the dark
tournament, that Kurama was perked with curiosity once more.
A flash of
bright red, and large blue eyes in the form of a whirlwind of energy caught his
attention, and he smiled as he thought of someone with the same innocent eyes,
though they were a dark amethyst instead of blue. This, Jin as he was called,
was much like Yusuke, Kurama noted, and he almost enjoyed their fight, though it
was hard to find pleasure in much at the time.
He later found himself randomly thinking of the pointy-eared red-head and
wondered what it was someone as friendly as Jin was after in this tournament. It
seemed odd to Kurama that someone of his nature would associate themselves with
the people he joined up with, but Kurama would not question. However, he was
rather interested in finding Yusuke's red-head version and getting to know him a
little better, though it seemed that would not happen.
If Kurama was not investing in his techniques, or troubles, he was busy with
surprise, unwanted attacks. Until one night, instead of spending his
troubles into a card game with the group, then drifting off to sleep, Kurama hit
a fit of insomnia as he fretted over his upcoming battle with Karasu. He had
already pred fed for it as best as he could, and sleep just would not come.
To deal with his nerves, Kurama quietly left the room and started outside,
but he ran into Hiei in the halls.
"Oh, you're awake as well?"
"I don't sleep as often as the rest of you, and Kuwabara's snoring is
hard to sleep through."
Kurama stifled a chuckle, and nodded his head in agreement, using that as his
excuse for being awake as well. A bit of silence fell between them, then Hiei
cleared his throat, and looked straight ahead, refusing to look at Kurama he
said, "You've been careless in these past couple of fights."
The ease that had settled upon seeing Hiei shattered as Kurama stared at Hiei
with growing exasperation and irritation. To believe Hiei would accuse him of
that!
"Hiei-"
"Save it. I'm calling it as I see it. Maybe you should start this next
fight a little more ruthless instead of foolishly studying your opponent as you
engage in battle. You know how they fight by now, just kill them before they do
anything to you. I'm sure you have great confidence in your body, but I
don't."
Still composed outwardly, but inwardly shouting at Hiei for his interference,
Kurama stood stunned, until Hiei looked up at him, straight into his eyes and
firmly said, "Do not get yourself killed. Don't you daruot;uot;
Any fury that had been building melted away as Kurama heard Hiei say,
mentally, (Don't do that to me.)
'He's just worried,' Kurama said to himself, then he smiled for Hiei and
said, through gritted teeth, "You insult me. I can't believe you would
think I would allow that to happen."
The return look of annoyance he received from Hiei caused Kurama to whisper,
"I know, I know. I understand what you mean. And really, don't worry about
it."
"Okay.... Then there's only one other thing bothering me. I know you
won't tell me, or talk to me about anything, but," Hiei grabbed a fistful
of soft red hair, and felt disgust at himself for enjoying the satin feel at a
time like this, then firmly pulled a little as he said, "quit worrying
about the damn fight tomorrow, if you're so confi, or, or I'll pull out your
damn hair, got it?"
Hiei tried not to expect a response, for Kurama was unpredictable as it was,
but the last thing he considered Kurama to do was laugh.
Abruptly, and near worried, Hiei let go while Kurama casually bit on his
thumbnail, trying to stop, as he gently chuckled at the shorter male.
"Kurama...?"
"I'm fine...really."
"I highly doubt it. You don't laugh often...not like that, anyway."
"No, Hiei," Kurama said, finally calmed as he gave Hiei a soft
grin, "I just needed that. That's all. Thank-you."
With that, Kurama walked outside, and Hiei sighed, then retreated down the
hall, curious to see if he could sneak into the girls' room to watch over Yukina
for a bit. Though it was far more tempting to follow Kurama and make sure he was
as fine as he claimed. Hiei knew better. He had nearly insulted Kurama once
for the night, and he dared not insult him further by insinuating anything.
Kurama finally walked outside and entered a ceiling of stars, and as the cool wind rushed by him, he was reminded of another
time and place, once again. It was hard not to fall back into that era, with the
leafy canopy above him, and the soft, ethereal light of the moon casting a hazy,
opalescent aura about the plants under its caress.
Guilt passed through Kurama, only for a moment, as he looked back towards the
hotel and wondered how Hiei would feel to know what he spent his time in Reikai
on. He had an inkling Hiei would not take it quite the way Kurama would expect
of the usual demon. For one, Hiei lived by a far different code than most
because of his life, and it would possibly affect how he viewed Kurama. Yet,
Kurama doubted Hiei truly trusted him anyway, considering Kurama's past. He only
wished it was as easy as ainiaining to Hiei that he found Hiei special to him,
therefore had no plans to leave him. It was just...even though Hiei meant
something to him, Kurama still needed to explore and enjoy all that was around
him.
He thought once again of large, naive purple eyes, and that long, silky red
hair, then almost choked when he saw a fluffy bundle of red hair in his line of
sight.
'D�j� vu,' Kurama whispered to himself as his memories from his travels as
Youko Kurama faded into the mist. Carefully, he crept forward, and peered
through the bushes to see who Jin was with, and what they were doing.
Chuu, Rinku, and Touya sat with the red-head, and surrounding them were
several empty bottles--this made Kurama smile. 'Drunk...that might be easier for
me to talk with him then.' Yet, there was a slight miscalculation on Kurama's
part, for only Jin and Chuu had been drinking. u wau was considered too young by
Chuu, and Touya strayed from substances that would affect his judgment. While
Chuu and Jin did not notice Kurama's next soft footstep, Touya heard it and
perked up.
Kurama froze, uncertain of how the ice-master and Rinku would take his
approach to their group. Touya was more concerned about the visitor being a past
competitor with issues concerning their battles, but he breathed a sigh of
relief when he saw it was the red-head. He knew Kurama could be harsh, but the
fox also displayed great honour, and was hardly unjust, depending on the person,
that is. Besides Touya had no fear in Kurama,
or anyone from Urameshi's team, or anyone with Kurama's personality.
"Come forward. Don't hide there and watch. Join us," Touya said
gently, and gave Kurama a barely existent, but warm smile as Kurama blushed at
his error and left the cover of the bushes.
"You saw me...." said Kurama, then trailed off, feeling humiliation
build.nce nce when did I become so careless?'
'Does it matter? They are not foes? So why should it matter if they saw you?
You would have left the bushes eventually to speak with Jin, so what is
bothering you?'
'You are right,' Kurama said to himself, ending his internal conversation as
he sat between Jin and Rinku, and looked at the group with inquiring eyes.
With a little moment to recompose his thoughts, Kurama broke the silence and
said, "You don't mind, then?"
Touya shook his head, indicating no, then asked, "What br you you out
here?"
Casually, Kurama said, with perfect nonchalance, "I was merely taking a
walk and noticed the light coming from your fire here, and the noise was hard to
ignore."
Jin chuckled at Kurama's jest on Chuu's earlier boisterous complaints about
things from the past few days they had spent at the tournament, either involved,
or watching, and Touya smirked, silently agreeing with Kurama's words, and
understanding.
"So, you are prepared for tomorrow then?" Touya asked, still
curious about the newcomer. Kurama did not seem the type to involve himself with
groups, but to stray from them. He felt strongly that there was another reason
Kurama had gone towards the noise and light instead of away.
Still not caught off guard, Kurama wisely answered, "I'm prepared as can
be. I've seen them fight, and I know what each is capable of doing, but a fight
is not predictable. However, there is no point in worrying over it until the
actual fight begins."
"Agreed."
A sense of kinship passed through Touya at Kurama's profound outlook that
matched his own. Jin was somewhat close to it as well, but Jin just had a code
of never worrying about anything, so it did differ. It was comforting to meet
someone with such similar beliefs.
"Actually," said Kurama, surprised in himself by takihe nhe next move,
instead of his usual observation first stance, yet, it was needed if he wished
the conversation to head in the right direction and learn more about Jin; or the
others, for that matter, "I was wondering why you four were involved in
this tournament. None of you seem malevolent."
Chuu looked down at his bottle as he answered, almost somberly, "Well, I
don't know about the others, but for me...it was just the lure of a fight and a
reward at the end. I'm sure Rinku, more or less, just followed where the rest of
us wanted to go. Now it's just us two, but we don't mind."
The smallest one nodded his head, indicating this as truth, but remained
quiet. It was best to keep hero-worship unknown, after all.
On the other hand, Touya nodded to Jin, indicating it was time for the d-mad-master to speak, for the prize they had sought had been most loved by him.
"Ah.... Well, now that you asked, Kurama is it?"
"Yes.... Kurama, that is me."
"Well, now that you asked, we were fighting for the main prize so we
could be free.... In Ningenkai, with pure air, and skies that reach higher than
anything I've ever had theasurasure of being in. I was kinda hopin'.... But no
matter," saidsaid, letting the dream go. It was gone, and he knew he would
have a chance to gain it once again, so he refused to feel any sadness over the
matter. Then again, he just felt none. If one door closed, another opened, and
one day, the right would open, he was sure of that. Always had been.
Jin and Touya were surprised to see a grin grace Kurama's lips as he said,
"Is that all? Jin...I could take you there myself."
"Ah, you could?" Jin asked as he perked up and his voice filled
once again with pure mirth.
"Yes. I could. And even better, there is another place much more
beautiful to see, and I have access there as well."
Deep in his mind, a small voice said, 'What are you talking about? Koenma
won't be too happy if you go about doing stuff like this.'
'Hush. It matters little when we're far too busy at the moment to do it
anyhow. But I can handle Koenma, and Jin would love it.'
Now that he had Jin psyched, it was a matter of planning when.
They settled on a particular date, but because of later, unforeseen events,
it was put off for about another two years.
One calm spring day, Kurama finally recalled that particular event, not that
Jin had failed to remind him of his offer every chance he had, though it was not
often. Yusuke had returned to Ningenkai, and Hiei was staying in Makai
Mu
Mukuro. Nothing much was happening at the time, so it seemed the safest chance
to finally bring Jin over. They could both stay at Yusuke's house for a couple
of days, then Kurama could take Jin somewhere else.
'But first,' he thought to himself, 'I should warn him I plan to bring Jin,
and tell Koenma about it.'
The evening, he bid his mother farewell as she left to work, then played a
couple of video games with Shuichi, his step-brother, as he considered how much
he and Yusuke would get along. It would be so simple--just turn on any fighting
game and they would be just fine. After that, he gave a quick wave good-bye to
his step-father and said he would be back before morningen len left.
Kurama knew it would be a long night, but worth it.
In Koenma's office, Kurama looked around at the bustling demons, then
marveled at Koenma as he realised the once toddler seemed to be taking his
teenage form more often, even in the Reikai office. Amused, and seeing this as
an advantage, Kurama walked forward, soft smile on his lips, and said, "Koenma-sama,
may I speak with you?"
"Ah.... Sure...." said Koenma, curious as to what Kurama was doing
in Reikai. He was no longer expected to serve the other in the office, though Kurama did return from time to time. And, while he would
*NEVER* say it, Koenma enjoyed Kurama's visits, hence why he still allowed them.
Besides, Kurama was one of the rare things in life that calmed Koenma when he
was having a rough time and randomly blowing up at everyone else. Pretty much
everyone in Reikai looked forward to a visit from the fox.
In the office, away from all prying eyes but Jorge's, which were,
thankfully, fixed to a book, Kurama got rather close to Koenma and peered up at
those lost, light, almost gold, brown eyes. He put great intensity into his own
soul windows, letting them insinuate at will. Koenma drowned in emerald.
When Kurama was sure Koenma was entranced, he gently spoke, "I was
wondering if I could do something."
"Go on," Koenma said, eyes filled only with wonder as flashes of
brilliant sanguine flickered in themerimerizing sea.
"Well, I wanted to bring a friend from Makai to see Ningenkai, and let
him visit a friend of mine in Heaven. It's Jin...would that be all right?"
"H-hai. Whatever you want, Kurama. In fact, want my title? I'll give it
to you."
Kurama's eyes widened when he realised his charm might have gone too far,
quickly, he said, "No, that's fine, Koenma-sama. You keep your position, as
it's rightfully yours. And thank-you. It'll be one week in Ningenkai, with at
least one day in Heaven," as he put a hand softly under
Koenma's chin, while Koenma nodded his head and agreed to the terms, then Kurama
left.
It took a few minutes, but once Koenma finally got over how soft Kurama's
skin felt, he snapped out of the trance and noticed, almost with a sense of
loss, that the fox was gone. Then he realised the things he had said, and
baffled, with slight anger hinting in his voice, Koenma asked, "What the
hell just happened?!"
Without even looking up from his book, Jorge said, "That's easy--the
same thing that happened when Enma-sama was handing out punishments for the
break in and thievery done here a few years back, and you got spanked while two
demons got the softest penalty ever given to their kind for such an act."
"You know what...I'm sorry I asked. Shut-up."
"Hai, Koenma-sama."
