Chapter 6…luckily for u no small skits…

Derris Emblem

Jerome's POV:

'Something's wrong…where are those two' I thought to myself silently, they've been gone for two hours straight…It would be better to go look for them before night falls again…

"Where are you going?" Hiei asked.

"I'm going to find my cousins they've been out there for a long time…"I replied as I took a step forward into the forest.

"What about our friends!?" Kuwabara yelled at me.

"Why won't you go look for them yourselves…besides I bet their with Tigress and Eagle." I replied to him coldly.

"Then were going too, we don't know who you guys are so were not letting you out of our sight."Yusuke said to me.

"…I see…do whatever you want then."I replied as I ran back into the forest at top speed losing them.

Hiei's POV:

"Uhh Urameshi did you know she could run that fast…"Kuwabara said dumbfounded.

"Ehhh Uhh…W-well of course I did what do you think I am stupid?"He replied trying to act cool. I sweat dropped then left to find Jerome. She couldn't be far she was only gone for a few minutes, I searched around till I heard a loud scream, it sounded like Jerome, I went to where the scream was and found Jerome pinned against a tree by a ghostly-like creature. I saw something black with red mixture coming out of Jerome's mouth, it was her soul, the creature pressed his mouth against hers to devour her soul further.

This angered me especially when its mouth is pressed to hers; I took out my Katana and slashed it in two, I saw her soul returning to her body with a few more souls searching their way back to their body.

"You alright?"I asked her.

"Y-yeah…thanks."

"You idiot, what were you thinking running away on your own?!"I yelled at her.

"…Why do you care? My cousins could have their souls taken away by those things!"She yelled at me in reply.

"And you could've had your soul taken away as well if I weren't there!"I replied…wait she was right why do I care?

Jerome said nothing in reply, knowing I was right; she would have died if I wasn't there.

"…*sigh* maybe your right I-I was too hasty I guess…"She said silently.

"Why do you care so much about them?"I asked.

"Because were family…their my whole world if anything were to happen to them I…" She replied silently as she shed a tear. I wiped away her tear hoping it would comfort her but it was unlike me to do such a thing, but it's just like me, I protect my sister and if anything were to happen to my sister…

"Listen we'll go find them…"I said in a normal calming voice.

"Really? Thanks!"She said as she hugged me happily.

"Umm Uhh…"I was speechless as she hugged me it had a good feeling.

"Oh sorry about that…"She scratched the back of her head and blushed while smiling. She looked cute when she blushed like that…wait? Cute!?

We both kept walking then heard slight moaning in a distance, Jerome took a step forward to take a look but I stopped her, thinking it could be another one of those creatures, I went instead and saw Kurama and Boton on the ground injured.

Jerome's POV:

"Kurama! Boton! What happened to you two?!"I answered worrily.

"Shouldn't we be asking you that? You beast."Kurama said in a threatening tone.

"Wha-what are you talking about?"I asked.

"Y-your cousins attacked us…they turned into these hideous creatures and tried to kill us."Boton told me in pain.

"Wha-that's impossible they would never do that! Did something happen before they attacked you?"I asked getting suspicious.

"They stood frozen for a moment like they were hearing voices then after awhile they fainted then turned into horrible creatures."Kurama said as he held his side in pain.

"I think I know what happened…their souls were taken away from a distance turning them against anyone."

"How do we know your not lying?"

"If I was lying I would have killed you by now, but I didn't, I don't kill to get even, I kill to win."

"I see… then I guess your not lying then."

"But what would take their souls so quietly like that?"Boton asked me.

"It must have used a sacred and forbidden amulet called the 'Derris Emblem'."

"Derris…Emblem?"

"Yes Derris Emblem is a forbidden amulet used by Guardians, only Guardians can wield such power, once the Derris Emblem is activated it will suck the life out of a person like a black hole."

"Does it really contain that much power?"Hiei asked me in interest.

"Yes it also had the power to bring the dead back to life."

"Then it seems it must be a big problem."Kurama said worrily.

"It's a VERY big problem…less you want more than millions of people to die of Undead attacks."

"Could you tell us the history of the Guardians?"

"Maybe later right now I have to look for my cousins."

"But their souls are taken away how can you…"Hiei was about to finish his sentence, but I placed a finger on his lips calming him down.

"Sometimes there are ways to put thing right again, you just need the right heart to do so."With that said I went to go find my cousins.

Hiei's POV:

When she placed her finger on my lips I suddenly felt warm inside, but I couldn't let her fight alone, just when I was about to follow her.

"Hiei do you like her?"That question stopped me and got me thinking, did I really like her?

"No what makes you think that?"

"Its just seems…never mined, where's Yusuke and Kuwabara?"

"Don't worry those two idiots are coming this way…right now I don't think Jerome can fight alone very well."

"I see…well I hope you two will be alright."With that said I left and went to find her.
