Chapter 4
"What do you want? How did you know where we lived?" Sam asks the cloaked figures. Both girls rest their hands close to their concealed katanas, ready to fight should the need arise.
"Calm down," the taller one says. "We are friends. We have watched you two for the past six months and have come to offer you a proposition."
"Watched us for the past six months!? Explain yourselves!" Kyrie replies.
"You two have unique abilities, that if honed, could be used to help defeat the 7 Demon Kings."
"How do you know of our abilities?" Sam asks.
"We observed them the first night we met you two." Taking off their hoods, the girls stood in silence. Before them stood the two that had helped them six months ago.
"Have you observed us every night like you did tonight?" Kyrie asks.
"No, not like this night. We watched you often, it is true, but tonight we knew your boss would be gone; therefore, trouble might have come from any of the demons, so we figured we'd be there if you needed help," the tall, red haired man returned.
"Ohhh, how gracious of you! Now what do you want with us?"
"Your abilities," the shorter, dark haired one snapped.
"No, my friend, do not put it that way. I'm sorry. You must forgive him, he is rash. I am Kurama. This here is my friend, Hiei. We come from Spirit World to ask if you would help us bring peace back to this world."
The girls look at each other, stunned. Light dawns in Sam's eyes. "Hiei and Kurama…from the Urameshi Team?"
"Yes," Kurama answers.
"How do you expect us to succeed where you could not?" Kyrie asks.
Hiei glaring at her, "I'll have you know, we don't need your-"
"Now, now Hiei, calm down. It's alright. We understand your hesitancy. At the time when we first met, your abilities were used. Hiei and I sensed the power you two possess. Yes, we were defeated last time when we went against the Asian demon king, but that was ten years ago. We have grown since then, both mentally and physically. Combine that with your natural potential, and just perhaps, our team could become enough to bring back peace. The abilities you have come from being born after the Demon World took over. The energy you have is a form of demon energy, it is youki. It is very powerful, but you already know that. Please help us."
"How can we help you when we are only slaves, plus we have no real training, other than practicing with each other," Sam says.
"Your freedom would be gained once we took you back to the Spirit World with us. As for training, you two would train with Genkai."
"Yes. I'll go," Kyrie says, not hesitating a bit. Sam looks at her shocked.
"Whoa Kyrie. I'm usually the rash one. You are the cautious one. This time around you didn't even think twice. What's up with that?"
Kyrie looks at her friend. Sadness and determination in her eyes. "For years we have been kept as slaves. We have been beaten, yelled at, treated like dirt, and yet, we never gave up on getting our freedom. We always said one day we would show them the power of humans. Well now is our chance. We can get our freedom Sam! How marvelous that sounds! We can get strong and make those demon kings pay for all the human lives they have took. For destroying our world. I will no longer be someone's slave. What about you?"
Sam looks at Kyrie, then back at the two men. "Alright. It's time to see what freedom tastes like."
"Alright then," Kurama smiles. "Let's go. Kyrie, take my hand. Sam, take Hiei's."
The girls do as instructed, with a glaring Hiei grudgingly taking Sam's hand.
"Alright, now hold on tight," Kurama warns.
Suddenly the ground gives way…No, it didn't…they had taken flight! The men holding on to the women, were on there way to the Spirit World. The men to report a successful mission to Koenma. The girls on their way to a whole new life.
