Chapter 2
============
Yusuke ran ahead of everyone, he knew he was close to finding Keiko; but he didn't know that Keiko was no more.
"Yusuke stop!!!" Kuwabara yelled.
"Shut up!!!" Yusuke yelled with out turning. He didn't want to listen to what Kuwabara had to say.
"What are you sensing?" Kurama asked Kuwabara.
"I'm sensing something I know I never felt before." Kuwabara said. "But it feels so familiar."
"Hiei, go up ahead and knock out Yusuke." Kurama said.
"I can't..." Hiei muttered.
"Why?" Kurama asked.
"There are wards around this forest that are keeping me from running at my true speed." Hiei said.
"There are wards that can do that?" Kuwabara asked.
"Yes, but they are rare and can be used more than once." Kurama said.
Kuwabara came to a complete stop; his eyes were wide as if he was terrified. His eye color changed a clearer color. (He isn't turning into an ice demon like I did to Hiei in my other story.)
Kurama and Hiei stopped, Yusuke didn't realize what happened and continued to run deeper into the forest.
"Kuwabara?" Hiei asked. "What's wrong?"
"Hinoro..." Kuwabara whispered.
"What?" Kurama asked; he was worried for his friend right now.
"Kurama..." Hiei whispered. "Look at his eyes."
Kurama looked into Kuwabara's eyes and gasped at what he saw. Kuwabara's eyes were now crystal blue.
"Kuwabara! Snap out of it!!!" Kurama yelled slapping him upside his face.
Kuwabara let out a loud yell and his eye color changed back to normal.
"What happened?" Kuwabara asked.
"You just zoned out on us." Hiei said.
"I did?" Kuwabara said. "Hey, where is Yusuke."
"I guess he went up ahead." Kurama said.
"We have to get to him before he gets to Keiko!" Kuwabara said as he ran.
"Hey, wait up!" Kurama yelled.
Kurama and Hiei ran after Kuwabara.
==========
Yusuke kept running until he came to the middle of the forest, where he saw a mat soaked in blood.
"Keiko..." He whispered.
He walked up next to the mat, then looked around.
"Keiko, where are you?!!!" He hollered.
"Yusuke?!" Keiko's voice yelled as she came out from behind a tree.
"Keiko?!" Yusuke yelled looking at her.
Keiko ran up to Yusuke, diving into his arms. She cried as Yusuke held her in his arms.
"It's alright Keiko, everything will be okay..." Yusuke said as he held her.
The others came a moment later.
"Oh thank goodness..." Kurama said. "She's okay."
"Hn..." Hiei said.
Kuwabara wasn't happy or relieved; he knew something was still up.
"Yusuke, get away from her." Kuwabara said.
"What?" Yusuke snarled.
"She's not Keiko." Kuwabara said.
"What are you talking about?" Yusuke asked pulling Keiko closer. "Of course she's Keiko, can't you sense that?!"
Kurama and Hiei were sensing that the girl that Yusuke had in his arms was Keiko, but Kuwabara's sensing abilities were far more better than theirs.
"Kuwabara, how can you say that?!" Keiko yelled as she pushed herself away from Yusuke. "I'm Keiko!"
"No you're not!" Kuwabara yelled.
"And here I thought that you were an idiot." Keiko said. "You're right I'm not Keiko."
"What?!" Yusuke yelled. "If you're not Keiko, then where is she?!"
"Keiko is dead." The lady said. "My name is Fiona." With that, she took on the form that Hinoro gave her.
"Why you..." Yusuke murmur as he clasped his hands together for the spirit gun. "Kuwabara move out of the way!!!"
Kuwabara moved and Fiona turned to Yusuke smirking.
"Why are you so mad?" Fiona asked. "You don't even know what kind of love you had for Keiko; so why be mad?"
"Because she was one of my best friends." Yusuke said as he summoned the power for his shot gun. "Shot gun!!!" The power was fired at Fiona's heart, it pierced right through it. Fiona's eyes widened and she fell to the ground.
"You didn't kill her." A voice said.
"Who's there?!" Yusuke yelled.
Just then, Hinoro came out of nowhere and kneeled next to Fiona.
"Wake up my dear..." Hinoro whispered.
Fiona groaned and pushed herself up off the ground and stood up. Everyone except for Hinoro gasped at the hole that she had on her chest through her heart. She put her hand on her chest and a pink glow came from her hand. When she removed it, the hole was gone and the cloth of her clothing was fixed.
"Nice shot Yusuke, but not powerful enough to kill me." Fiona said. "Now for you demise."
Fiona rose her hands in the air, clasping them together with Yusuke's shot gun technique, she brought her hands down still in the same form and yelled out her attack.
"Death beam!!!" She yelled, her hands began to glow pink and the beam was shot towards Yusuke.
"Yusuke!!!" Kuwabara yelled.
Yusuke dove out of the way just in time, leaving the beam to hit a tree.
"Well, I'm just going to take care of Kuwabara now so he can shut up." Hinoro said. His hands glowed black and he put them together, a long black stick of power came out of them and formed into a skinny sword.
"Kuwabara let's go." Kurama said.
"No..." Kuwabara said.
"What are you crazy?" Hiei said. "We are just feeling the beginning of his powers; do you want to face the rest?"
"I remember who he is." Kuwabara said.
Hinoro and Fiona's eyes widened.
"So, you remember who I am, but do you remember anything else?" Hinoro asked.
Kuwabara didn't answer.
"Oh well..." Fiona said.
Hinoro disappeared at that moment; everyone looked around trying to find him; a moment later, Fiona disappeared.
"We have to get out of here." Kurama said.
"Let's go now." Yusuke said.
The four boys left the forest, not knowing what to do.
============
Koenma was in his office when the doors opened and four very tired looking boys burst through.
"Back so soon?" Koenma asked the boys.
Yusuke glared at him and attempted to try to murder him, but Hiei and Kurama held him back.
"Do you know anything about a demon name Hinoro?" Kuwabara asked.
Koenma's eyes widened.
"Why do you ask?" Koenma asked.
"Because that's the demon we had an encounter with in the forest." Kurama said letting go of Yusuke.
"For some strange reason, he wants to kill Kuwabara." Yusuke said.
"Hinoro is a demon that was killed around the time that the evil you guys are now trying to stop was sealed." Koenma said.
"What else do you know about this demon?" Kurama asked.
"One thousand years ago, he destroyed a kingdom that once stood on the moon." Koenma began. "Suggest that all of you take a seat, trying to figure out all of this out is going to take awhile."
Chairs appeared and the boys took a seat, Boton came in and gave the boys something to eat and drink.
"Like I said before, that demon destroyed a whole kingdom one thousand years ago. Hinoro was killed shortly after by the lover of the prince of the kingdom." Koenma said. "The kingdom was once at war with the planet Earth, so at first the princes didn't know each other."
"Wait a minute, princes?" Kurama asked.
"One was the Prince of the Moon and the other was the Prince of Earth." Koenma said. "But they never knew of each other until they were fifteen years old."
"Why were the kingdoms at war?" Hiei asked.
"Hinoro kept kill in people in both kingdoms; he was a guardian to both kingdoms without anyone knowing, and he framed on each other causing both kingdoms to go into war with each other." Koenma said. "The kingdoms never knew until Hinoro teamed up with a sorceress named Fiona."
The boys cringed at that name.
"What?" Koenma asked noticing the gesture.
"That demon killed Keiko and used her body to resurrect Fiona." Kurama said.
"Oh no..." Koenma said. "With the both of them together, it will be near impossible to defeat them. They are powerful alone, but together, we might not stand a chance."
"Koenma, are you sure that Keiko was the descendent of the priestess that that sealed the evil." Boton asked.
"Okay, tell me what's the difference between this evil and Hinoro!" Yusuke yelled.
"Hinoro was a demon that was undercover to make two kingdoms fall apart." Koenma said. "The evil force that priestess sealed was an unknown power before she discovered it."
"Koenma, the boys' said that Hinoro resurrected Fiona using Keiko's body; that means..." Boton said.
"Oh dear..." Koenma said.
"What?!" Yusuke yelled wanting to know what else Koenma was worried about.
"That means that Keiko was never the descendent of the priestess that sealed the evil." Koenma said. "That means that she is the descendent of Hinoro's lover."
"Then who is the descendent of the priestess?" Kurama asked. "Can she or even he help us?"
"Possibly..." Koenma said. "Judging from how much power he or she has."
"Tell us the rest of the story." Kuwabara said.
"Oh right..." Koenma said.
To be continued...
