One Last Time chapter 6
"We mustn't let the girl get near her brother!" a large wolf-like demon roared. He was very tall and muscular.
"Calm down, Ikari. Even if they do reach him, they couldn't reverse it." a tall, black haired woman in a red and black kimono answered. Part of her hair was tied in a bun while the rest hung over her shoulders.
"Kanashimi!"
"I'm sure of it. Now did you take care of the others?"
"The other ones after him? Yeah, I killed them all."
"It looks like our world is coming together. Right, King Hiei?" Hiei sat on a large fancy chair fit for a king as he stared at them.
"Damn it!" Yusuke yelled. "You really have to watch out for these tree guys!" he dodged another swing from one of the trees demons. They had been a problem from the beginning but thankfully they weren't too vicious in attacking the group.
"They're trying to kill us!" Kuwabara yelled back.
"I just cut right through them with my scythe." Botan added.
They walked along a dirt road and had no idea where they were headed. Despite Yukina's efforts, she couldn't find a way to use the key. That was when they decided to just start walking in hopes they could gather information or at least find civilization.
Yukina was taking the situation the worst. She walked ahead of the group looking at the ground. She didn't have to worry about the trees like the others did because they didn't try to harm her and she was starting to wonder why. She wondered why she seemed to be so special in this world. Why everything was battered and broken but yet she had new clothes and could walk without fear.
"Yukina!" Kuwabara ran up to her.
"Kazuma..." She continued to look down.
"Don't worry about your...brother..." he spat the word brother. "We'll find him. And then I'll kill-" Yusuke came up and punched him in the face.
"I'm just worried...What happened to him? Where is he now? Is he alright? Is he fighting somewhere?" she brought her hands up to hide her eyes. "This is my fault."
"No it's not!" Yusuke said. "Don't worry, Yukina. Hiei's strong."
"You're right..."
"Right now we should worry about finding a safe place to rest and think." Kurama told them. "Once we find a town, assuming there is one, we can gather more information."
"I agree." Botan said.
They continued to walk in silence as the sky grew even darker. It was a mystery how far they already walked but they knew they were tired and weary. They were ready to collapse when they decided to stop by the side of the dirt road figuring it was as safe a place as any in the strange world. They build a fire and sat down around it to talk, only for the longest time they were all quiet. They were all deep in thought trying to comprehend just what was happening.
"You know..." Yukina broke the silence. "The moon is the same here as in our world." she looked up to the sky.
"It's like it's the only thing that hasn't changed." Botan said as she too looked upward.
Hiei looked up at the moon. He sat with a blank expression on his face on the roof of the castle that the demons Ikari and Kanashimi claimed was created for him. Hiei didn't know what to think anymore. He didn't know what they wanted but he didn't care. He wouldn't be a pawn to anyone.
Kanashimi appeared behind Hiei as if she had teleported. It was obvious to Hiei that she had strong magick. He couldn't let his guard down to either her or Ikari.
"Aren't you glad I helped you open the gate?" she said.
"I opened it and I did it willingly." Hiei spat. Kanashimi smiled.
"So much hatred. So much darkness. It is no wonder why you were chosen. Your sister, however, sickens me..."
"Shut up, wretch! Never talk about her that way!"
"My apologies, Your Majesty."
"Get out of my sight."
"At once." With that she disappeared into thin air.
"Damn that woman."
He then sat for a moment wondering what had become of his so-called friends. What he was more concerned about was what had become of his sister. He looked around into the grounds of the world almost hoping they were right here but of course they weren't. Then he closed his eyes and slowly took off his headband to reveal his third eye. It glowed brightly as he searched the world for the others. It took a few minutes but he did find them. They all sat around a fire and at the sight of this, his heart grew heavy.
He was always left out of everything. He was distant; so distant no one had ever reached him. He pushed everyone away without even trying and he just wanted everyone to suffer like he had. They should be alone and forsaken like he had been. Wasn't that the reason he opened up Hell's gates?
Alone. They should be alone.
