Yusuke, Kurama, Hiei and Kuwabara walk casually down the sidewalk. Yusuke scans the crowded sidewalks and sighs, "Why are we looking for this demon again?"
Kurama sighs softly and replies, "He is a physic demon named Akira that has killed countless humans and demons through torture for his own amusement."
"He's this way. I can feel his spirit energy," Hiei states looking into the dense forest at the edge of the nearby park.
"Are you sure,
Hiei?" Kurama asks stepping next to him.
"Hn," Hiei
retorts dashing off toward the forest, disappearing from view. Kurama
sighs and dashes off after him, Yusuke and Kuwabara at his heels.
Kurama stops in the center of a clearing walking casually to Hiei's side. "He's close." Hiei turns toward him smirking, a bloodthirsty look in his eyes. "Hiei?!" Hiei draws his katana and swings at Kurama. Kurama dodges but Hiei nicks his thigh. Blood drips down from his wound as he stumbles backward. Hiei swings at him again but suddenly he screams in pain, dropping his katana. Hiei collapses onto his knees, clutching his head. Hiei's body begins to glow bright red as he to floats up into the air. The red energy bursts out of him and disappears into the shadows. Hiei falls onto the hard forest floor, unconscious. Yusuke rushes to Hiei's unconscious body. He lifts him up gently and looks into his blank grey eyes.
Akira walks casually out of the shadows holding a marble-like ball of bright red energy. His black hair, which comes to his shoulders, blows in the breeze gently and his grey eyes sparkle as he smirks proudly, "He won't be waking up anytime soon, Detective. His soul is right here, in my hand," Yusuke points his fingers in the shape of a gun at him.
"Spirit gun!!" Akira back flips out of the way easily. He places the marble into a bag tied to his side. He jumps ten feet up into the air pointing his hands, one over another, at Yusuke as three light blue rings form around arms. The rings shoot out shackling Yusuke's wrists and ankles, the last one goes over his mouth. Yusuke collapses onto the ground next to Hiei, struggling against the shackles but to no prevail. Yusuke screams out for help but his voice is muffled though the gag. Akira lands next to him, and then kicking him swiftly in the side. Yusuke rolls across the ground moaning. Akira turns to Kurama, who is leaning on Kuwabara's shoulder. Akira's hand glows light blue as he points at Kuwabara. Kuwabara glows light blue and is lifted into the air. Kuwabara scream in pain as the energy surges through him. With a flick of his wrist, Kuwabara is flung onto Yusuke. Kurama stumbles and grasps onto the nearest tree. Akira's eyes glow light blue while he steps slowly towards him. Kurama screams in pain, he falls onto his knees clutching his head.
Kurama starts to shake, tears falling down his face, "No...No...Scarlet...No." Akira stands over Kurama's trembling body smirking. Akira draws his katana and holds in over Kurama. He swings but stops an inch before he makes contact, a look of horror on his face. He looks down to see a katana though his chest. Akira topples backwards a the katana is removed, landing in a puddle of his own blood. Kuwabara stands where Akira once was gripping Hiei's katana triumphantly. Yusuke stands up stretching as Hiei's eyes return to their usual crimson color. Hiei walks casually to Kuwabara's side, ripping his katana out of Kuwabara's hands, placing it in its sheath. They look down at Kurama's shaking body, concern written across their faces. Yusuke places a hand on his friend's back. Kurama looks down at his hands and mutters, "I'm so sorry, Scarlet."
