killed him!!! grr... oh and DO NOT tell me about how the round between
kurama and karasu went! so anyways, enjoy this chappie.
Rei trodded on, determination etched in stone. I will kill you, Rei vowed as she unsheathed her sword. If her father succeeded in resurrecting earth's most feared beast, the known world would be completely annihilated. Thats why the resurrector had to die, so he could not release that evil force. He had tried to resurrect this beast before, but through a pure streak of luck helped her stop it. Father was sick in the head, and very powerful and influential in the demon world. Those two qualities was a very dangerous combination. She knew exactly where her father would be. Near the Forest of the Forbidden One. As she walked on, weakness overcame her. After running from Toshi and at least two days with no food, it was hard to take a few steps. So close, keep going. Rei would be able to find her Father's hideout, but the problem would be eliminating him. His army wouldn't be hard to beat, but it was Father she had a problem with. There was only four people she knew that were stronger than her: the two Togoro brothers, Father and Toshi. She suddenly fell on the ground. She needed food and rest. Maybe just a quick nap. Yes, she would just rest her eyes for a bit.
Kurama sat in the rather crammed boat. Even though it was just him and the ferryman, he barely had the space to sit.
"Headed for the island?" the ferryman croaked.
Kurama nodded, attention drifting off.
"I know a short cut, if you want it. Gotta say, its pretty dangerous." the ferryman warned.
"I don't mind." Kurama said, smiling rather pleasantly.
"Eh? Well alright then." the ferryman said, quite perplexed.
They changed direction, heading for a large rock jutting out. There was a fairly large hole to fit a small boat much like theirs.
"Rollercoasters got nothing an this," the ferryman said and plunged into it.
Waters torrented around them as the ferrymen struggled to keep the boat from turning upside down. While he struggled, Kurama remained quite calm as the boat swung back and forth. This went on for a half hour, until they reached the vast sea again. The ferryman came out gasping for air, expecting to see the passenger in the same condition. But Kurama sat quite serenely in his seat, drenched in water.
"Eh, the island's a quarter of an hour from here." The ferryman muttered.

"Is she secured?" A rough voice rumbled.
"Yes sir." someone murmured and swept into a deep bow.
Although the first speaker was mainly concealed, the second speaker could see a malevolent grin spread across his face.
Meanwhile, Rei was unconcious, tied to a ten foot wooden pole. Along the pole, ancient enscriptions were carved into it. Instead of her usual battle clothing, she wore a flowing white gown, which rustled and flew about as stormy winds blew it about. Blood trickled down her forehead, falling onto her unblemished clothing. Pain was ringing in her ears as she slowly opened her eyes. Where- where am I? A sense of dread fell around her as she remembered this place. No, I'm dreaming, she tried to reassure herself. But try as she might, this was real. She swore under her breath as she saw demons of every sort around her. Her father's army.
"Glad to see you're awake." his horrible voice rang out. There he stood in all his glory, black hair falling past his shoulders, cold, cold yellow eyes shining with mockery and taunt.
Rei felt fury and anger swelled wihtin her, eyes narrowed in pure, raw hatred, "Tazaki." the one word came out as a hiss, filled with boiling acid.
"Is that any way to greet your father?" He laughed once more.
"BASTARD!" Rei shouted as loud as she could, voice suddenly wiping the smirks off all the demons. They knew she could kill them easily, and their fear stank like bad meat.
But Tazaki was unaffected, still smiling, "I see my training hasn't helped your temper."
Rei didn't respond. She kept glaring at him with white hot fury, hoping that fury could burn a hole through his head.
"Are you wondering why I brought you here?" Tazaki asked, tone becoming serious.
"I have a pretty clear idea. One question though, why am I tied to a pole?" she said through gritted teeth.
"Just look at your clothing." he said simply.
Rei looked down, expecting to see her traveler's clothing, but her eyes were greeted by a white gown. She gasped as she realized what this clothing was. The traditional sacraficial clothing.
"I have another little surprise for you." Tazaki said and stepped aside. There stood Toshi, gloating in all his glory.
kay then that chappie's done. stay tuned for the next chapter!
