Chapter One
Let me explain what an Echo Demon is first. Imagine a powerful demon, and than try to think of how it gets it's power, and what it gets it from. Well, if you think of the name 'Echo Demon', you can kinda get my drift. Every sound wave that bounces off its body gives it more strength. Standing in the middle of a busy city didn't really help either. Oh, and did I mention it was invisible??? Yeah, well, it's invisible.
"We gotta get it away from all these people," Kuwabara breathed heavily as we still gave it our full body's strength to keep running. We could sense it behind us, and it was still getting stronger.
"Tell me something I don't know!!" I reply as we both take a sharp left turn into a narrow, dark alleyway that let to an opening, and than do a dead end.
"Aw shit!" Kuwabara whined.
"Shut up!" I hissed, than looked back at out entrance and out only exit. "It's coming." I whisper faintly.
Suddenly, Hiei and Kurama jump down from the roof of the connecting apartment buildings that made a fortress around us. I look up. It was too high for me or Kuwabara to jump up, than I realized that Hiei and Kurama just decided to drop in.
"WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GO?" I boomed angrily, glaring at the two of them. I opened my mouth to continue yelling at them, but something invisible grabs me roughly by the gruff of my shirt and lifts me a good 10 or 12 feet off the ground, and slammed me into the brick wall, knocking my head hard. Surprisingly, I wasn't unconscious. But I felt a warm liquid trickle down the back of my neck, and my vision blurred.
'Shit. That can't be good,' I thought.
I still couldn't see what had picked me up, but I was guessing it was the demon. I was wedged in between the wall and something that was pushing against my chest, making it hard for me to breathe, and was hold me there.
"URAMESHI!!" Kuwabara bellowed, while Hiei just jumped up, his sword raised. I noticed that Kurama was nowhere in sight, again. How nice of him to leave me here.
I watched Hiei as he actually hit something, but all I saw was blood trickle down thin air, but it formed a very distinctive muscled arm. He bounced off the wall and kicked off, preparing to strike again, but I felt a rush of air, and Hiei was hit, and flew back into the wall, than crumbled to the floor a moment later, unconscious.
'Shit, this thing is fast if he can knock Hiei out cold,' I thought, but my attention was directed to Kuwabara as he let out a battle cry and jumped up, with his spirit sword ready.
'NO YOU STUPID IDIOT!' I thought, since my vocal box wasn't working like it should have been. He, too, was thrown to the floor with a startling crunch.
I jumped when I saw the demon suddenly appear before my eyes, no longer invisible. Fourteen feet tall, bulk with ripping muscle, blood red, beady eyes and dripping yellow fangs to match. Oh yeah, and purple skin. Egh.
"Where is she?" it asked me in an incredibly low, rumbling voice that seemed to shake my rib cage when it spoke. It sounded like something you would hear off the Exorcist.
'She? It's LOOKING for someone?' I wonder as my vision blurs even more.
"Put him down!" said a female voice from somewhere out of my vision range. The demon craned its ugly fat head towards the voice, which happened to be somewhere above, behind, and to the left of me, and grinned one hell of an ugly, yellow grin.
"Serena," he growled, than dropped me. I was still, surprisingly not unconscious as I fell to the floor. But I did get dizzier by the second, as I began to crawl my way over to Kuwabara and Hiei.
"What the hell are you doing here, Dante?" the female voice asked in a cold voice. I remembered there was a fifth party and looked up to see a girl, about my age, standing on the tops of one of the buildings. My vision was still too blurry to see her in detail.
'Who the hell-?'
"I came to look for you." He replied grinning even wider, if that was even possible.
"I'm not in the mood. Who sent you?" she asked him, staring at him with an annoyed expression.
"I am not to tell you-"
"NOT TO MENTION," she said loudly, over talking his voice. "You hurt some of the spirit detectives." She replied, glancing down at me, Kuwabara and Hiei, than back up at the demon.
"The whelps were only getting in the way." He replied carelessly, not even bothering to look back at us.
The stupid bastard--wait, HOW THE HELL DOES SHE KNOW I'M A SPIRIT DETECTIVE?
"That gives you no right to try to ki-"
"I don't take orders from humans." It snapped.
Wow, it has an attitude.
"DON'T piss me off, Dante. I'm seriously not in the mood right now to fuck around with you or anyone else, now tell my who sent you and why you're looking for me." She commanded.
"I AM NOT TO SAY!"
She crossed her arms and watched him in silence, and it stared back. For a minute or so, they just stared. What a damn waist of time!! AND WHO THE HELL IS THIS CHICK?
Than I felt it. Even Kuwabara and Hiei felt it. They woke up from cold unconsciousness and looked up at her. As if an earthquake was taking over your soul and all your senses. My skin began to crawl, the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end, and little goose bumps planted themselves all over my body. It felt like all hell was about to break loose.
Me and the other two saw Dante shrinking away into the corner closer to us, and the girl, had wind swirling strongly around her, spirally her hair upward, while electrical charges of plasma crawled on her skin.
She was obviously pissed off.
She raised her arms upward to the sky, which had suddenly turned to a dark, dark gray and as if on her command, two lightning bolts flashed down to the palms of her hands, and she shaped them into lighting balls, than threw them both in Dante's direction. I saw the building white flash, but than was out cold from the force after.
Who ever the hell that girl was, she was damn strong, and I had a feeling I was going to meet up with her again.Author's Note: All right, first chapter, I fixed it so it makes more sense with the great help of my BR. Anyway, I promise to write more, and I won't go away on a long break and I will try my hardest to finish this without taking long breaks between updating. Chapter 2-5 are being fixed as I type- so yeah. If you've already reviewed, thank you, and those who haven't, please do so now. It would only take 30 seconds of your time. Thank you very much!
