Chapter 11: Shima's Evil Plan on Rikuo

In the morning, where Rikuo and the others are gathered in the living room and there's the fortune teller is with them. They are talk to them about the next destination.

Yuko: For now, I can't tell you which or where place you are going to land on. Only Makona can tell you because only she can sense where the feather is at.

Rikuo: I see… then what about Shima? Do you know where his hiding place?

Yuko: About that, I almost got it but they put a magic barrier so that I can't see where they are hiding now. I also can't tell what their next evil plan on you guys is.

Maki: About that let us forget; what important is… what is wrong with Kana?!

Yuko: What do you mean?

Torii: Oh you do know what we mean. She acting strange lately; to put in words she acts weird after we left the fashion place call… fashion world? Mucus world…? Oh whatever it name is.

Tsurara: Yeah! I realized it too. I wonder why?

Yura: Why are you asking such a stupid question? You guys do know why she acts like that right?

All: No…

Yura: -sighed-. Of course the answer is because of Rikuo you idiots!

Tsurara: Eh? Wait a second there Onmyouji girl! Why is it supposed to be Rikuo-sama? He didn't do anything at Kana-hime!

Yura: You sure didn't know anything, Yuki-Onna?

Tsurara: No.

Yura: Rikuo did something embarrassed to Kana the time before Fiona surrender herself to us. Kana told herself to me all about it. You are such a pervert you know, Rikuo?

Rikuo: -shock but silence and act like nothing happened but his face slowly turns red-

All: -stare at Rikuo-

Aotabo: So it is true? Your face is really red now.

Kurotabo: What did you do to Kana-hime actually, Rikuo-sama?

Rikuo: -shut up and leave immediately-

Awashima: Oi! Rikuo wait a minute! Where are you going?! –Runs after Rikuo-

Kiyotsugu: -whisper- Yura-kun, what is actually happened between Rikuo and Kana-hime?

Yura: -whisper- You'll know about it soon.

Meanwhile, at the dark castle; where Shima and Fei Wong Reed's hiding place. Shima was making an experiment and create an antidote.

Shima: Finally… I have done created the antidote!

Fei Wong Reed: "He's not that bad in creating the antidote. Is he an expert?"

Shima: So, is this the antidote that you've said to me; 'The Darkness Antidote' for the Leader Parade of a Hundred Demons, Nura Rikuo.

Fei Wong Reed: Yes.

Shima: I've done with the antidote, what about you? Have you set the plan?

Fei Wong Reed: Oh yes. I did already from the very beginning before you have started making the antidote.

Shima: Really? Why don't you start the plan now?

Fei Wong Reed: Yes I'll make it right away.

In the treasure ship, Makona suddenly run towards Rikuo and jumped at Rikuo.

Rikuo: What's wrong Makona? Why you are suddenly jumped at me?

Makona: I sense Kana-hime's feathers. It's only 5 seconds to arrived.

Rikuo: Really? That's great! I'll ask Kuro to company me to find the feather. It's near right? So I can search fast and fast give the feather to Kana-chan!

Makona: Right…

The outside treasure ship;

Maki: Are you sure you're going, Rikuo?

Rikuo: Yeah.

Tsurara: You don't want us to company you?

Rikuo: No thanks. Kuro Makona and I will go; and luckily it's near here.

Torii: Be careful.

Aotabo: Kuro, take care of Rikuo-sama!

Kurotabo: You can count on me.

Makona: Alright! Let's go!

Suddenly there's a person…

Kana: Rikuo-kun! Wait…!

Rikuo: Eh? Kana-chan what's wrong?

Kana: Err… -stiffed-

Rikuo: Is there something you want to talk about?

Kana: Rikuo-kun don't go out there; I'm afraid that there's something bad is going too happened to you.

Rikuo: You don't have to worry about me, Kana-chan. I'm going to be fine. What I want from you is, believe in me. Have faith in me and I will come back to you as fast as I could.

Kana: But…

Rikuo: Alright guys, I leave Kana-chan in your hands for now! Let's go.

Rikuo, Makona and Kurotabo leave the treasure ship following step by step. They all only leave everything to God so that they will come back to the treasure ship safe and sane. But there's something is playing in Princess Kana's head.

Kana: "Why do I feel like I'm going to lose something? And the thing that I'm going to lose is… Rikuo-kun? Oh Rikuo-kun, please come back home safely."

When Rikuo, Makona, and Kurotabo are on their way to the place where the feather is. Tsurara started arranged everything.

Tsurara: Ok everyone! Go back to work! Since Rikuo-sama is not here, we have to do our work until he gets back!

All yokai: Yes, Yuki-Onna!

Kiyotsugu: You sure know how to ordering people to do stuff around, don't you?

Tsurara: Hehehe…

Yura: Humph! Stupid yokai! Always ordering people but itself didn't do anything!

Tsurara: I heard what you said just now, Onmyouji girl!

Yura: Like I care you listen or not?

Tsurara: You seriously are making me angry!

Maki: Hey! Don't fight!

Awashima: Yeah! What the hell are you guys fighting for?

Tsurara: The Onmyouji girl started it!

Aotabo: Hey Onmyouji girl, can I ask you something?

Yura: What? You want to start like that Yuki-Onna too?

Aotabo: No. what I want to ask is where is Kana-hime?

All: EH?! DON'T TELL US YOU LOST HER?!

In the deepest forest, Kurotabo suddenly sits down. Makona who is sits up at Kurotabo's head fast hold Kurotabo's hair, because she's so shock and scare because afraid that she might fall down.

Kurotabo: Are you sure this is the right way, Makona?

Makona: Of course! Because I sense it's presence near here.

Kurotabo: Why is it in the forest? Why doesn't it at the moon or galaxies?

Makona: You idiot! This is better than Syaoran and Sakura's adventure. They have fought even harder than this you know?

Kurotabo: Ok! Ok!

Rikuo: Hey look at that!

Kurotabo & Makona: Huh?

They arrived at a huge dark castle.

Makona: Whoa! So huge!

Kurotabo: I never remember seeing this castle before we land here.

Makona: Eh? You're right! How could this castle be here?

Rikuo: That doesn't matter what important is, we have to search for Kana-chan's feather.

Makona & Kurotabo: RIGHT!

Meanwhile, at the treasure ship in Princess Kana's room; she was daydreaming about the time when she's with Rikuo at the fashion world and the memories that she just have and absorb. Suddenly…

Torii: Kana!

Kana: Ah! Torii-chan, what are you doing here? And since when you standing in front of my room?

Torii: I'm here because everyone is worrying about you, including me. And I'm just arrived here a couple of minutes ago.

Kana: Really? I'm sorry that I didn't realized earlier.

Torii: It's alright! You don't have to apologize. Anyway, why are you daydreaming? Are you thinking of something?

Kana: Eh? I didn't think anything! I just…

Torii: Kana, you are my friend and I know what are you thinking right know. You can't lie to me.

Kana: …

Torii: Come now tell me. You don't have to keep secrets from me.

Kana: Alright. I'll tell you.

Princess Kana told everything to Torii about what happened. Then Torii laugh at Princess Kana.

Kana: Why are you laughing, Torii?

Torii: Nothing. It just that, it's funny you know? You act like that because of that thing? Hahaha!

Kana: It's not funny! It's embarrassing…

Torii: You have to stop acting like this because, we realized that Rikuo like you ever since you leave us 3 years ago. So, you have to accept him and love him like he did to you.

Kana: Do I have too?

Torii: Of course! He sacrifices his life on the line just for you. He did his very best for you and to make you in love with him just like he loved you.

Kana: I think… I know what I should do.

Torii: What do you want to do?

Kana: I think I want to say thanks to him and say that I love him too.

Torii: Yeah! That's the spirit.

Suddenly there's a person come in to the room,

Awashima: Girls! Rikuo and the others are back!

Torii & Kana: REALLY?!

They all run towards the living room and suddenly they heard a conversation about Rikuo.

Aotabo: What? You seriously didn't know where Rikuo-sama is?

Kurotabo: No, we didn't know where he could be now.

Yura: This could be a problem.

Maki: Yeah. How could this happen?

Kurotabo: The story is like this…

Kurotabo started telling the story about the missing of Rikuo.

Makona: Eh?

Kurotabo: What's wrong, Makona?

Makona: I lost the track of the feather.

Rikuo: What? How come you've lost it?

Makona: I don't know. Because I know we almost there where the feather is located.

Kurotabo: That's weird.

Rikuo: Eh? Waah! –Fall down-

Kurotabo & Makona: Rikuo-sama! Waah! –Fall down too-

In a few minutes later, Makona woke Kurotabo up.

Kurotabo: Urgh… Where are we?

Makona: We are in the forest but there's a bad news.

Kurotabo: What is it?

Makona: After I woke up, there's someone missing. And I realized that person is Rikuo.

Kurotabo: What?! Seriously?! We have to search for him!

Makona: Right!

Both of them started searching for Rikuo at the same direction when the first time they walked in the forest. But they suddenly arrived at the treasure ship. They run into the forest back but they arrived at the same place, at the treasure ship. Kurotabo decides to tell everyone about Rikuo's disappearance in the dark castle. After done telling the whole story;

Makona: And that's the story.

Awashima: I don't get it.

Kiyotsugu: Me neither. You guys found a huge dark castle?

Kurotabo: Yeah!

Maki: I never remember seeing it before?

Yura: Is it an illusion?

Aotabo: It's impossible that could be an illusion! Rikuo-sama disappears in front of Kurotabo.

Tsurara: We have to search for Rikuo-sama or else Kana-hime might be shock and won't accept the missing of Rikuo-sama!

Kana: Is it true?

All: KANA?!

Kana: Tell me what you guys saying just now was… a joke?

Tsurara: Kana-hime, we are…!

Makona: We're very sorry, Kana-hime!

Kurotabo: We lost the track of Rikuo-sama.

Kana: So, it is true… -Tears fall slowly through her cheek and fainted-

Torii: K-Kana?! –Catch Princess Kana-

Yura: Oh no! What should we do?

Torii: We have no choice but to make her heart calm and to cheer her up.

They all try to think of something to make Princess Kana happy while Rikuo is missing and nowhere to be found. Meanwhile at the dark castle; there's a person being tied by a metal rope on the wall. It's Rikuo?! He is now fainted but now…

Rikuo: Urgh… Wha…? Where is my jacket and why is my shirt is thorn out?

Shima: Hehehe… you woke up already, Nura Rikuo?

Rikuo: Huh?! Wha…? Who are you?

Shima: Dear me. You didn't recognize me anymore since you are so closed to the Princess.

Rikuo: You are…? –Sniff- Sniff-. Shima!

Shima: Oho? You sure can detect people by smelling? How disgusting!

Rikuo: Shut up! Just tell me; what do you want from me?

Shima: Hey! Is that how the way you greet an old friend, Nura Rikuo?

Rikuo: Friend? Are we even become a friend since you betray us?

Shima: I don't mind if you don't want to admit that I'm your friend, Nura Rikuo. Because I still have Fei Wong Reed with me, right Fei Wong Reed?

Fei Wong Reed: Yes.

Rikuo: You stinking brat! You don't even answer my question!

Shima: Right. What I want is, Kana-chan.

Rikuo: No! You can't have her!

Shima: What was that? I don't hear you?

Rikuo: I said you can't have her, Shima!

Shima: Hmm? Well… should I kidnap her?

Rikuo: Don't you dare touch her!

Shima: If I do touch her, what will you do? Kill me?

Rikuo: Yeah! I will kill you!

Shima: You can't do that. Look at yourself, being tied with a metal rope like that?

Rikuo: Damn it!

Shima suddenly appear in front of Rikuo; Rikuo was so shock to see that Shima's movements are faster than before.

Shima: Now, I want to ask you… why don't you join me? In my dark world and be my partner?

Rikuo: No I don't…! –Didn't finished talking-

Suddenly Shima take syringes and put 'The Darkness Antidote' in Rikuo. Rikuo scream because of the pain that Shima did to him. Shima poke the syringe hard on his right arm.

Shima: Welcome to my world, Nura Rikuo. Hahaha!

Rikuo: Argh! –Pain on right arm-. Darn… you, Shima! –Slowly feel dizzy and fainted-. Kana-chan…

Shima: Muahahahahaha!

Fei Wong Reed: You are like an expert on doing bad things like this, Shima.

Shima: You know me.

Fei Wong Reed: Now, with 'The Darkness Antidote' within Nura Rikuo's body, he won't be able to use Run Save Nenekirimaru! And now, you can control his mind and give him an order whatever you want and he will follow what you say.

Shima: That's great. Your plan on creating the illusion is brilliant! Now I can give him an order to kidnap Kana-chan for me. Because he doesn't realized what he did include bad and evil things. Hahaha!

Fei Wong Reed: You can't wake him up now or give him an order now.

Shima: Why is that?

Fei Wong Reed: Because the antidote need time to make it work in a human half demon's body.

Shima: But right now, isn't he in his demon form? It should be fast right?

Fei Wong Reed: Maybe… but still, you can give him an order right after he awakes.

Shima: Really? I'll start to give him an order three days that will come. Hahaha!

Shima and Fei Wong Reed laugh evilly. What have they done to Rikuo? What more important is, did they know that the disappearance of Rikuo is related to Shima? And what is Shima's order that will be given to Rikuo? Will Rikuo follow what he says?
