The Labyrinth: Part One

"Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Youkai City to take back the child that you have stolen. For my will is as strong as yours and my kingdom is as great." Kurama was away from his housework and was now playing a game all by himself. This one in particular was his favourite. It was called 'The Labyrinth'. He had just paused because had forgotten a line. Kurama opened his novel and recited the final line. "You have no power over me." The clock struck six and a light mist began as a white owl perched upon a log in the park.

At the sound Kurama stopped and began to run home. He was late. Within a matter of minutes he was home, only to be yelled at by his mother and step-father.

"You're half an hour late!" His step-father barked. The redhead used his fingers to attempt to detangle his mane of hair. Kurama's emerald eyes stared at his mud covered black shoes.

"I am sorry." Kurama appologized as his mother began to speak.

"Kurama, would you mind watching Tamera tonight while we go out." The former happiness in the fox's eyes became a shimmering pool of fought back tears. The teen had already made plans to go out on the town with his friends.

"But you two always go out!" Kurama whined.

"I said only if you don't already have plans." Shiori replied. Kurama glared at her. He didn't like how his mother had changed after she finally had found the so-called 'love of her life.'

"You never asked if I had plans!" The lonely teenager cried, heading to the base of the stairs. "I can't do anything right can I?" Kurama's footsteps thumped as he stomped upstairs.

After the Kitsune arrived in his room, he began to recite from his novel yet again. His stepfather knocked on the door.

"Thanks. There's a bottle by the bed in case she wakes up." Tokimaru said and left the house. The fox tossed his book to the bed and his body then his body followed it.

"I can't stand it! It's not fair!" His eyes began to look around the room. On a shelf, a very important teddy bear was missing from his collection. "Lancelot! Someone had been in my room again!" Quickly he went into the baby's room only to find Tamera hugging the velvetine bear. He yanked it from his sister's grasp. Tamera woke up and began to cry. "SHUT UP!" Kurama lifted the baby up and pulled her to his body. "If I tell you a story, you better go to sleep!"

The baby looked attentively at her brother. She smiled as Kurama set her back in her crib.

"Once upon a time there was a boy whose stepfather always made him stay home with the baby." Kurama began the story, "The baby was a spoiled child. But no one knew, the King of the Youkais had fallen in love with the boiy. One evening after a tiring day of housework, he was crushed by the harsh words of his stepfather. So he called on the Demon King to take the child away." The tale began to frighten Tamera as the laughter from the closet became louder. Tears rolled down the baby's face. "Stop it! Stop it! Don't make me say the words!"

"Is he going to say it?" The Demon City's baka asked.

"Shut up!" The others barked at a whispered.

"Sorry." He whined and then kept to himself.

"Youkai King! Youkai King! Where ever you may be, take this child of mine far away from me!" Kurama called. The demons in the closet sighed with dissapointment.

"What's the point in all of that rubbish? It doesn't even start with 'I Wish!'"

"I wish," Kurama's voice was soft as he spoke and Tamera lay down. He then began to head out of the room. The yoko flipped off the light switch, "I wish the demons would take you away; right now." The fox shut the door, but mysteriously, the crying stopped. "Tamera?" He pressed his ear to the door and then opened it.

Kurama reentered the room and scanned it with his eyes. He tip toed to the crib and pulled the covers back. There was nothing there. A few small demons scrambled back and forth across the room as the white owl from the park began to beat its wings against Tamera's bedroom window. The window flew open and the owl began to cortship around Kurama. A black sillouette surrounded the majestic bird and the figure of a human appeared. Kurama's eyes widened at the sight of a small youkai in black leather.

"You're him aren't you? You're the Youkai King!" Kurama looked at him. "Please give me my sister back!"

"What's said is said." The Demon King responded maneuvering a crystal ball on his arms. He stepped up to the fox. Black bangs sillouted the crimson eyes.

"I didn't mean it." Kurama's emerald eyes began to tear.

"Oh? You didn't?" The youkai teased.

"Please! Where is she?" The fox looked at the demon king as he laughed at him. He then shook his head.

"You know very well where she is." The youkai turned around to face the window that he came in through.

"Please bring her back, please." Kurama's eyes released the crystal that was held in them.

"Kurama," The King of the Demons spoke, "Go to your room. Play with your toys and your costumes. Then you can forget about the baby."

"I can't!" Kurama declared.

"I've brought you a gift."

"What is it?" Kurama inquired as he watched the small akurei slide a crystal back and forth across his arms.

"It is a crysal, nothing more." Hiei smiled, "When you turn it this way, it can show you your dreams. But this isn't an ordinary gift for a girl who takes care of a screaming baby." He paused, "Do you want it? Then you forget about the baby."

"I can't. it's not that I don't appreciate what you are doing. I just want my sister back." Kurama then thought to himself for a moment. "She must be frightened."

"Kurama," He looked at the fox, "Don't defy me." Hiei and Kurama then looked to the labyrinth in the distance. "She is there in my castle." With his hand he summoned a clock. "You have thirteen hours in which to solve the labyrinth before your baby sister is mine, forever."

"It doesn't look that far." Kurama spoke softly and began to head to the labyrinth's enterance.
