The dark… its completely consumed me…. Its my only release…. To run into it…. To welcome it and let it envelope me….. why has my life come to this? It wasn't always this way… mom….Amanda….
flashback
"Hey mom! Look! I finally figured out how to make my fire typhoon!" a little girl with waist length black hair yelled. She looked to a white haired, green eyed demon who was smiling and laughing happily. "Oh, good for you Sandra! Come on, let me see it now" she said excitedly.
The little girl laughed and nodded. "Alright!" she happily yelled, turning and concentrating her energy into her fists, then slowly moving them in circles, gradualy moving them faster until flames shot from them in the shape of a typhoon. The white haired demon clapped and hugged the little girl tightly, congradulating her.
end flashback
Mom… there was once a time when I was free…. I remember you, I promised I wouldn't forget… and I promised I wouldn't forget Amanda either…. But this blackness… and your faces… is all that saves me from nothing anymore….
A stalky, black haired man opened the door to a basement and slowly made his way down the stairs with a group of his buddies. They stumbled down the last set of stairs, laughing like idiots. Slowly, they made their way across the darkened basement to look at a pale girl with ripped clothing, dired blood and scars all over her body, and knee length black hair laying on the ground, looking at them with her piercing blood red eyes.
They are here…. Again… and drunk as usual she thought to herself
The men laughed loudly as the stalky one grabbed the chains connected to the girls wrists and pulled them through a loop on the basement wall, forcing her to be pulled into an upright position, then grabbed her chin, forcing her to look into his beady black eyes.
"You haven't had any reactions to anything in some years my dear. You should know, that that makes it all the more fun for us" he said standing and spreading his arms while his buddies crowded around him. "It just makes it easier for us to do what we will with you" he said getting close to her face and squeezing cheeks together.
The men in the background laughed as they closed in on her, laughing and taking clothes off as the neared her, preparing for the usual. Preparing to take total advantage of her, in every way.

"Your new mission is to save a girl name Sandra. She is a mixed breed and she is in terrible danger. She was kidnapped six years ago and we have just recently been able to track her down. We know her location, we just don't know her condition.. whether she be dead, or seriously injured we couldn't tell you, so be prepared for the worst." Koenma explained to his Rekai Tentai
Kurama, Hiei, Yusuke, and Kuwabara listened until Koenma was finished, then Hiei spoke up.
"Why the hell has it taken six years to find her!? Shes a demon right?! Why couldn't you just hone in on her demonic aura?"
"Unfortunetly, it wasn't that easy" Koenma said bitterly "We tried that, but she was so young at first that her demonic powers weren't strong enough to trace. She was just learning how to use her powers.. she only got one technique down before she was taken.. As she grew older, we hoped we could track her by it, because it would automatically show up on our scanners.. the only problem is that her powers haven't grown. Whatever has happened to her has stopped her powers from being able to grow with her" he finished
The group went quiet before Yusuke finally spoke up. "Where is she?"
"We have traced her to a typical human household not far from your house Kurama. Its about five blocks away, to the north-east. The house number is 2120. I can give you a portal to the neighborhood, but to give you one to the house itself would be too risky, especially because we don't know who we are dealing with"
Koenma looked to his group of four and the all nodded. He nodded in return and opened a blue portal for the group who quickly rushed through.
in the neighborhood
The group rushed out of the portal, the blue light disappearing from behind them as it disappeared into thin air.
"This is the right neighborhood, now where is that damn house?" asked Yusuke as they started searching. They finally came upon the house and looked at it, seeing nothing unordinary about it.
"Well, this is a bore isn't it?" Yusuke said looking at the front door "Theres nothing special about this house, why couldn't she get herself out?!" he asked agitated
"Theres more to this problem than meets the eyes" Kurama said before looking back to the house with interest now. "Somethings happening, there are men laughing inside"
The group started walking toward the house, and the closer they got, the more Yusuke wrinkled his nose. "The whole place smells like alcohol" he stated
"Yes, I agree. Its rather rank to be honest" Kurama agreed, gaining a nod from Hiei.
They walked closer, and carefully opened the front door, peeking their heads through the house. They stopped in the living room, looking at each other, shrugging their shoulders.
"Perhaps my hearing is off tonight" suggested Kurama
"I don't think so fox" interrupted Hiei "The air about this place is too quiet for there to not be something wrong"
"I agree" Yusuke stated
"There are noises coming from the basement… it almost sounds like a whip" Kuwabara stated.
At that, the group drew their weapons and raced to the basement, killing the men in their way who displayed hostility toward them. When they were done, there were five men laying dead on the ground and blood everywhere. They all looked to the corner they were huddled around to see the girl laying there, eyes closed. Her clothes were half torn off and there were fresh cuts and blood all over her body. They chains were digging into her skin, creating huge open gashes, and holding her in place so she couldn't have moved if she wanted to.
"That's… Sandra" Kurama said as everyone put their weapons away.
He stepped forward and took his coat off, placing it over the girl, causing her to open her eyes only slightly. She looked to the four of them with hollow, lifeless red eyes as she scanned over them, before staring straight ahead, waiting for anything to happen.
Hiei walked over and unsheathed his katana, hacking at the chains. Sandra watched with no expressions as the scene unfolded in front of her. She saw the black haired boy standing in the distance, a look of discust on his face, and the orange haired one walking over and kneeling before her head, placing a hand on her hair, trying to comfort her, and the red head and black and white haired kid worked at the chains.
So it comes to another group…. A new batch to take control….. and throw me into further darkness…. Mother… for you, I will be strong…
Soon, Kurama and Hiei had the chains off and Kurama picked Sandra up. She closed her eyes and awaited what was to happen next.
what did you think? please let me know!
