“Makai tongue”
Telepathy
Ch. 2
The return trip back to the institute was fairly quiet, despite the five extra people. The angry brunet who had only spoken two words during their entire visit had fallen asleep. His silver-haired ‘friend’ was laying content against his shoulder, eyes shut. Yukina and Hiei sat in the back conversing softly, to soft for even Logan to hear. Genkai was looking over a stack of papers, two more in the seat beside her. Rogue looked over curious when the elder woman sneered at the paper. They had agreed to speak English once they left Japan, so her words were laced with an accent when she spoke.
“Pyro.”
“Hn?”
“When did the brat have Dimwit take you in?”
“Eight days before he met you.”
“When were you released?”
“Just before the tournament of the Kings? Why?”
“Because you should have been released around the time of the Chapter Black Video Incident.”
“What?”
“He kept you in his service under the pretense it was part of your parole. No doubt he did the same to the Fox, but for far longer considering he gave himself up and assisted in catching you.”
“And the Detective?”
“Never owed the brat a damn thing. His entire service period was illegal by Koenma’s own laws. His counterpart was his by blood, soul, and birth. He had to be given to the Dimwit by the time he gained his powers. In fact, by Enma’s law, he was supposed to be immediately Restored and Raizen informed of his heir so he could be trained.”
“Can we charge him with this?”
“We can charge him with every second you had to listen to him from the Dark Tournament to when he released you.”
“Good, we’ll deal with this later, after Reizen recharges enough to become coherent.”
“Fine, I need to look these over anyway.”
Rogue turned back to the controls and saw the concerned and wary looks on her friends’ faces. They were definitely hiding something, maybe the professor would know. The silence was broken again when Hiei spoke.
“Fox.”
“Yes Hiei?”
“You said some of Yomi’s support tried to change his mind.”
“Yes, I did, why?”
“That must have gone over well.”
“If you want to question their ashes, you are more than welcome to attempt finding them.”
“Hn, interesting. Did they make any comments towards you?”
“What are you really asking Hiei?”
“How long have you had that bite mark on your neck? It wasn’t there when I saw you earlier.”
Yukina gasped softly and smiled in delight.
“Oh! Congratulations Youko-dono! When will you be announcing?”
“In a week, possibly longer.”
"I'm so happy for you and Mazoku-dono."
"Yukina-chan, you are allowed to leave off the -dono, we've been friends for so long haven't we?"
"A-are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure Yukina-chan."
"Yeah, no -dono. I get enough of it from wimpy-ass, brown-nosers. Now calm the fuck down sensei, you're making my skin itch."
"Hn, sorry Dimwit. And watch your mouth."
"Whatever."
"Go back to stasis Reizen, you'll feel better."
There was only a grunt in response, but the brunet relaxed slightly. Neither he nor Youko had opened their eyes during the conversation. When the plane landed a few hours later, Hiei gently shook the dazed Yukina and Youko's eyes opened. Genkai gathered the stacks of paper, sliding them into a bag beside her. Youko sat up and leaned over to gently brush his fingers down Reizens' arm. The other demon instantly tensed and red-brown eyes snapped open. He relaxed slightly after seeing a curtain of silver in front of his face. Youko moved away and stood, giving his Intended room. The mazoku got up and hooked one arm around the silver fox demons' waist, pulling him close and nuzzling his neck.
"Come on Reizen, time to get off the plane. You don't have to speak to anyone, but you can't growl at them either."
"Fine, but they're not touching you. I won't allow it."
"Of course Reizen, and neither would I."
~: X :~
Ororo stood behind Xavier's chair, eyes clouded over slightly as she gentled the winds for the landing aircraft. The first to get off were Logan and Jean. Rogue came out next saying something to an elderly woman with cotton candy pink hair; a girl with soft mint green locks holding the hand of a black haired boy behind them. Ororo counted over the newcomers and frowned slightly.
"Charles? I thought Jean said that they were returning with five people, I only count three."
Rogue chuckled as she overheard.
"Reizen fell asleep, Youko's wakin' 'im up."
"Reizen? Youko? Interesting names."
"Y'all should hear 'em introduce themselves. All tha’ boys got ranks, but one don' talk 'bout his."
"What kind of ranks, Rogue?"
The southern woman winked at Xavier; however, it wasn't enough to hide the small glimmer of fear in her eyes.
"Noble ones, fightin' ones."
Charles Xavier sighed and nodded, slightly concerned. The though hadn't even crossed his mind.
'Nobility, dangerous nobility. What have I done?'
Then he saw them come down.
He knew instantly that both were incredibly strong, but it was the darker boy who was to be feared. As he was only wearing a pair of loose black pants tucked into calf high boots and a pair of black wristbands, it was easy to see the blue markings on his arms, chest, shoulders, back, and face. The black hair fell in spiked locks to his waist and covered his eyes completely. One arm was wrapped possessively around the waist of the final new student. Xavier could tell that this one would break quite a few hearts. Gleaming silver hair -not white blonde as his first glance had made him think- flowed down to his thighs. He was clothed in white -a sleeveless tunic, loose pants, and slippers- making pale skin glow. Even with the distance Xavier could see the last newcomer had startling gold eyes. The telepathic professor smiled warmly when they approached.
"Hello, and welcome to Bayville. Thank you for agreeing to attend my school, I am Charles Xavier."
The older woman bowed and began introductions for her side.
"I'm Spirit Master Genkai, this is my second apprentice Yukina of the Koorime, her twin Hiei no Jaganshi of Zasshu. That is Youko, Kurama of Gin, and beside him Reizen of the Mazoku, rank Toushin of ShiroRai."
"You've already met Professors Grey and Howlett, beside me is Professor Ororo Munroe."
"Hello, welcome to our school."
"I suppose we're happy to be here."
"Please, join us for lunch. I'm sure that you must be hungry after such a long flight."
"Yes, we are, thank you for the offer."
The aged priestess turned to her 'children'.
"Deshi, stay close to Pyro. Pyro, keep your EYES to yourself. Fox, keep a leash on Dimwit, and Dimwit, keep your calm. No one's going to challenge your Claim here."
Hiei scowled lightly and curled his fingers around his sisters'. Kurama nodded and leaned closer to Reizen, who was using the same mask of bored-indifference he used around his Court.
"Sensei, human food cannot sustain me, I need human flesh."
"Is there any human food your body won't reject? You still need to keep up appearances."
Charles Xavier allowed curiosity to run rampant at the animalistic sounds coming from the Spirit Master and her first student. He pondered what they were discussing that caused such an irritated expression to capture Genkai's visage.
"Simple things like bread and rice, pasta. Natural, unflavored items."
"Alright, then stick to those until I can contact that flamboyant idiot Suzuki or his pretty-boy lapdog Shishi."
If she heard the snickers coming from the twins or the fox, she easily ignored them. Probably because, inside, she was doing the same thing.
"Fine."
Charles took this as his cue as host to enter the ended conversation.
"Is there a problem Master Genkai?"
"Reizen has abnormal allergies to food. Breads and flavorless foods like rice are all his body can accept."
He had the slight feeling that she was lying, but being perfectly honest at the same time. A truly puzzling feeling.
"I see, we will try to make sure there is something for him at meal then. Thank you for the warning."
"You're welcome Xavier-san."
He would have gladly continued on with the tour, none the wiser about his new students' 'unusual' constitutions had the next event not happened. For you see, he had forgotten that some of the more rambunctious students were playing a game of 'Mutant Ball' in the back yard until a series of explosions rocked the grounds. He was about to start his apologies when the four students fell to their knees with entirely different reactions. Reizen had landed on one knee biting his lip furiously as his fingers dug into the ground for stability. Kurama was clutching at his ears whimpering in pain, as Yukina cried out clutching at her motionless brother.
"O-onii-sama! Onii-sama itai!"
"Master Genkai! What's happening!?"
"One moment."
She pulled out two slips of paper from her jacket, each bearing a different series of kanji. One was placed on Yukina's shoulder, while the other was wrapped around Kurama's wrist. Once in placed, a blue glow lit the writing and they fell silent. Hiei helped his sister to stand up, while Reizen forced himself to move over to the Youko's side. The kitsune's whimpers had fallen silent, but his hands remained in their positions on either side of his head. Reizen moved his hands slightly to reveal twin trails of red streaks sliding down the silver strands. Growling softly he moved the appendages away entirely. Professor X grew even more concerned when he saw the blood was coming from too high up to be his ears bleeding.
"Youko, let me see."
"I-Iie."
"Youko, don't fight with me on this, let me see the damage."
Charles found himself blinking in shock when the silver waves parted to allow a pair of silver-white furred ears to emerge. They were too wide at the base to be dog ears, but too tall to be wolf ears. The sleek, yet bushy tail unwinding from around his waist where it had been masquerading as a belt gave it away. Youko was a fox, literally.
"Yukina, are you ok now?"
"Hai, just slight trembling left, why?"
"I need you to heal his ears, the drums have been shredded."
"Of course, can you keep him still please? Any movement and they won't fuse back together properly."
Xavier supposed he should have been lucky that Ororo had followed the others inside to inform Hank of the new arrivals. Especially since he unconsciously left his next thought open enough for Hiei to pick up on.
'They're used to this, its happened before. It appears as if they are hiding something, but, is it dangerous to the others in my school?'
The Jaganshi wanted to scoff, but that would reveal that he had been listening in against Genkai's 'advice'(i.e. threat). The mutant professor watched as Yukina held her hand inches from Youko's ears, a soft blue-green light bathing her palms. Slowly, Kurama relaxed and Reizen helped him to stand, keeping him steady.
"Are you still in pain?"
"Not too much, what was that sound?"
"It had to have been a sonic boom, that's the only thing that could have affected all of us like that."
Genkai frowned, that could be a very large problem. Now they were going to have to explain some things she would have preferred stay secret. Or at least unknown for a while longer.
"Xavier-san?"
"Yes Master Genkai?"
"Do any of your students have to ability to create sonic booms with their powers?"
"Only if combined with another students', is that what happened?"
"Yes, as you can obviously see, Youko has extremely sensitive hearing."
“And the others? They had a reaction as well, though it seemed milder for Reizen and Hiei.”
“Yukina’s home is far in the arctic, there all the buildings and structures are made of ice. An explosion like that can destroy the entire village and kill everyone. It’s a natural fear to have.”
Charles was a little confused. From the slight Japanese he could remember, he could recall Yukina referring to Hiei as ‘elder brother’, in addition Genkai had introduced Yukina as Hiei’s twin. But she clearly said that YUKINA’S home was in a year-round cold climate. He felt the need to ask, if only to understand the difference of words.
“Do the twins not live together?”
“No, Yukina stays with their mothers’ people, Hiei with their fathers’.”
“Why such a difference?”
“The women of their line are pacifists, but the men all took battle-trained positions for jobs. This obviously affects where they are going to live.”
She mentally asked for permission to continue on with the explanation; they all agreed but requested some things be withheld.
“The Koorime are bred for colder temperatures, their father came from a desert tribe. It’s still a mystery how they got together. Either way, it ends with Hiei being raised in a land much like the one Reizen comes from, a dangerous one. There, such a sound preludes a large battle. A sonic boom or any type of explosion for that matter raises their bloodlust and base instincts to a nearly all-consuming need to fight and protect their territory.”
Xavier nodded in a slightly better state of understanding as they entered the building. Jean and Ororo were rejoining them as he asked his next question.
“I see, and where are they from? I’ve never heard of the lands you speak of.”
“They’re in another realm, much like the one where the phoenix inside of Grey-san used to nest.”
Jean gasped and stepped back.
“H-How do you know about Phoenix?”
Genkai snorted, that was an incredibly stupid question to ask someone of her career. She heard Reizen mimicking her mocking sound.
“I’m a priestess; there is little I can’t sense. That bird is a bonfire in the middle of the night to my senses (1). Anything else?”
Jean relaxed and returned to her instructors’ side.
“What are the lands like?”
“Gin no Kuni is the land of Silver, named after the numerous mines beneath the soil, as well as the rulers’ large garden of silver colored roses. It’s a beautiful country run by a Lord and a Council; though it is considered a sanctuary for thieves and bandits, as the Lord is their King if you consider the matters of ability.”
“How…interesting, what of…Za-shoe?”
“Zasshu, the land of Hybrid, controlled by a Dictator and a Second. Mixed bloods consider it a haven; full bloods call it an abomination and want nothing more than to burn it to ashes. Nothing happens there without the Lord in charge knowing about it.”
Ororo frowned. That wasn’t right! People should have a choice of who leads them!
“A dictator! How cruel!”
Genkai shrugged, while the hybrid fire apparition scowled and crossed his arms in slight anger, he had fought hard for that title! Hiei had earned that right when he defeated Mukuro in the Tournament of Kings.
“Not really; finally we come to ShiroRai, the country of White Lightning. A King holds all the power and the Court is merely for show. It’s essentially three kingdoms in one as the ruler holds command over the commons, the Mazoku, and the Toushin Rank.”
The two telepaths were highly intrigued, while the weather witch seemed a bit skeptical. A King? In this day and age?
“What’s the difference?”
The priestess inwardly sighed, she was going to be treading on thin ice here, there wasn’t much she would be able to safely tell the Americans, especially with the Master of the races right behind her.
“The Mazoku are a special breed, and the Toushin are an evolved form of that breed holding many of the same powers, as well as a few additional ones. Only about 1 of every 60 Mazoku will be able to turn to a Toushin rank, and no commons are even considered as the Mazoku are strictly blood-by-birth.”
“And of Reizen? I assume he is both lines as you introduced him as such.”
“Yes, his father was a Toushin rank, Reizen is powerful enough to keep the rank and evolve.”
“Thank you for sharing so much information with us, it was very enlightening and answered quite a few questions. Why don’t we go enjoy lunch now?”
“If you’d like, this is your school. Gakis, time to eat. Pyro, Dimwit, you need to spar afterwards. Your battle lust is making me sick.”
“Hai, sensei.”
“Hn, whatever.”
They followed after a more relieved, yet even more curious Xavier. Ororo appeared silent with thought but was in actuality in a mental conversation with Jean. Neither one noticed Hiei eavesdropping on them with his Jagan. Logan has showed up sometime between the description of Zasshu and the explanation of ShiroRai, his silence had more to do with his instincts going haywire around the new students. The group entered the dining room at the same time that Scott and Kurt were bringing the students in from playing outside. Charles smiled and wheeled forward to make introductions once more.
“Scott, Kurt, I’d like you to meet our new students; Yukina, Hiei, Youko, and Reizen. Behind them is their teacher Master Genkai.”
“Hello, welcome to the Institute. Scott Summers.”
“Ja, hallo! I’m Kurt Vaugner.”
Reizen blinked, tilting his head slightly to the side, and staring at Kurt with a little shock. He shook his head as if dispelling an incorrect thought. Hiei snickered softly and nodded to an unvoiced question.
“No no, you’re right. He does.”
“Nani, Reizen?”
Youko frowned feeling like he missed something. Elbowing Reizen in the side he gave him a stern look, and was given the reply of a hand gesturing to the blue Nightcrawler. Hiei rolled his eyes and responded for the flustered King.
“Vaugner, he looks like Koenma’s flunky Ge-orge.”
“Wha-Oh! You’re right, he does. How odd.”
“Almost makes me feel right at home.”
“I suppose, but this is a strange coincidence.”
Yukina giggled softly clinging to her brothers’ hand.
“That’s not very nice. Ge-orge isn’t a flunky. He’s an escort.”
The boys slowly turned to stare at her, each showing an expression of shock. Reizen was the first to gain his voice back.
“Did…did she just say what I don’t even want to THINK she said?”
“I hope to Inari she didn’t. Otherwise someone is going to die.”
“What. In the name of the Darkness Flames did you just say?”
Hiei just continued to stare at her, wondering who the hell taught his sweet innocent sister that word. He was betting it was Genkai, the one person he couldn’t in good conscious kill without some feeling of regret. Judging by the self-satisfied smirk she wore, he was right. Scott and Kurt exchanged confused looks, they felt as if they had just missed something that may be important. Genkai felt mildly obligated to restore some form of order.
“Gakis, Reizen has an excuse to use the language from home, you don’t. Stop.”
“Hai, Genkai-sensei.”
“Hn, obaa.”
”Yes, of course. I was merely stunned and forgot Genkai-san. It’s not everyday that such a word comes from Yukina.”
Now feeling incredibly lost Scott cut in with an inquiry.
“Can he not speak English?”
“Not very well, or at all for the matter.”
“I never needed to. There was no point.”
“True, what citizen of Makai would speak it?”
Hiei snickered, amused by the shock of the nigens, and responded to his fellow lords.
"What hell-claimed and damned soul would even KNOW it?"
Ororo gasped and turned an angry look towards him.
"Watch your mouth around the children! Besides, a young child like you shouldn't even know words like that! That's a detention!"
There was silence. Reizen was gaping, Youko had fallen into stunned silence, and Yukina was watching her brothers form with worried eyes. Genkai stood off to the side clutching the wall for support as her shoulders shook and her body trembled. Hiei was perfectly still, fists clenched and knuckles white from the pressure. He drew a steady breath and a second later launched into a string of Makaian swears in five different dialects and at least three more slum versions cursing everything from the Koorimes of the Floating Isle and their lack of any intelligence in regards to male children and men in general, to the nomads of the Jigoku Desert that his father came from and his unstable mixed blood that resulted in a century long wait for a Maturation.
By the time he finished, his chest heaving from the effort, Yukina was bright red with earmuffs made of ice covering her head, Reizen was staring at him in awe with a pad of paper and pencil in hand as he wrote down the really good ones, Youko was looking at him in a new light -that quite frankly was starting to freak him out- and Genkai was leaning fully against the wall clutching her stomach and gasping for breath while trying to stop her laughing. Each of the Americans was extremely confused, but had a general idea of what just happened. Hiei had become extremely offended by what Ororo had said. Charles felt the need to try and clear everything up.
"I'm going to make a guess that Hiei is older than he looks."
By that time Genkai was able to breath once more and nodded in affirmation.
"Correct, none of MY students are children. Even if the were, matters such as discipline would by MY job, not yours. Hiei and Yukina will be twenty-five in December, Kurama is twenty-three, and Reizen is twenty-two."
The X-Men were surprised, none of the new 'students' looked any older than sixteen. Genkai didn't even look any older than her late fifties. Youko couldn't help his next thought.
'If this shocks them, what will they think of our titles?'
The feeling of amusement not his own curling through him told the kitsune that his Intended had heard the thought and was contemplating the reactions. Kurt quickly shook away the shock and led them to the dining room, the others quickly following behind. The Japanese students took the empty seats at the end of the table where they were instantly noticed and introduced to those that lived at the Institute already.
"Students, I'd like you to meet the new transfers from Japan. Hiei, Yukina, Reizen, and Youko. With them is their instructor Master Genkai."
Kitty's eyes gleamed as she stared at Youko. He was absolutely gorgeous! She would make him her boyfriend. Youko paled slightly, his stomach rolling in protest. Genkai smirked at his predicament, she was glad she had decided to come along. She had never had such fun at someone else's expense. Everything on the table had strong scents surrounding the plates and his nose was being overwhelmed. Luckily, there was some rice on the table. As everyone sat down to eat Youko served Reizen, then himself and passed the bowl down. Yukina repeated the motion by serving Genkai, then her brother before taking any for herself. They all waited until Genkai had taken a bite before they even touched their food. The Professors smiled in amusement, the new students were so polite, making them wish their own were the same way.
"Um, Youko? Where are you from?"
The silver fox looked over to the brunette that had asked the question.
"My home is Gin no Kuni, I work with the gardens."
Reizen smiled softly, worked with? His to-be OWNED the gardens he was so proud of, he had grown each one himself. His smile instantly faded when the human girl continued on with her questions.
"Really?! Wow! Do you, like, have a girlfriend?"
Youko could feel his other trembling with rage as a low snarl built up in his chest. The kitsune answered quickly.
"No, I do not have a girlfriend."
Kitty's eyes lit up, he was hers!
"I'm engaged. My fiance and I plan to consummate in October."
The joy was instantly shot down.
"E-Engaged?!"
"Hai, it was only natural. We've been together for many years."
'Half a century to be exact.'
