Yes, I know I haven't updated in forever. Don't worry. I'll try to update
more often now. I got a little sidetracked. I'm going to have this first
part summarize the other chapters a bit.

"Reiko...I'm coming..." Sora said to himself while running through the woods. He had just heard a loud, female scream. Naturally, he thought it was Reiko, and it was. Evan, an elf who was working for Kei, had captured and tied her up to a tree. Kei wanted Reiko to handle the jewels he had stolen. These jewels had immense powers, and at the time could only be handled by angels or elves. As was stated earlier, Reiko's mother was an angel, making her half angel. Once infused with Kei's body, demon would be able to touch the jewels without getting harmed. Kei had made a deal with Evan: if he brought Reiko to him, he would brainwash Reiko with his new powers. She would then follow Evan to the end of the Earth and back again. Kei was keen on getting Reiko, so he wouldn't harm her.. yet. Motoko and Aki had no idea what was going on, and Yuji and Kilana were sleeping. Sora was still hunting down Evan. This is where the chapter starts, with Evan inches away from Reiko's face.
Sora ripped through the branches and thorns, scraping his face, but he didn't care. At last he had reached the clearing where Reiko and Evan currently resided. With a swift punch in the stomach, Sora sent Evan flying into the pond.
"Sora! You're here! But, where are the others?" Reiko asked while Sora untied her.
"I don't know. We'll have to catch up with them later. No time now!" Sora ripped the rope tying Reiko's feet together and picked her up. He grabbed Reiko's katana and started running towards the now-visible tower.
"Sora, you can put me down you know!" Reiko half yelled. Sora blushed and put her down. He handed her katana to her, and she tied it to her pants.
"Uhm.. Are you.. Ok?" Sora asked, looking down.
"I'm fine, but Evan was about to kiss me! Good timing." Reiko explained, sticking her tongue out. Sora laughed. He needed to. Everyone needed to.
"Why don't we continue? The others will catch up.." Sora suggested. Reiko nodded and they raced to the huge tower. At the entrance was a huge wooden gate, rotting and old. Sora kicked the bottom of it and the whole thing feel down. His eyes bulged out of their sockets, but Reiko merely walked forward.
"C'mon, c'mon!" Reiko urged. She grabbed his wrist and charged forward, stopping at another smaller gate. It was rusty and old. Reiko kicked it and it came tumbling down onto them. One step backward and they were safe. There seemed to be no security at all here; the tower was deserted. Meanwhile, Yuji and Kilana were oblivious to what was going on.
"Argh! Ew!" Kilana squealed. She was covered in dirt. "Bright idea, Kuwabara!"
"Kuwabara?" Yuji asked. "That's my last name. There already is a Kuwabara anyway."
"You're Kuwabara now, ok Kuwabara?" responded Kilana, wiping dirt angrily off her backside. 'Kuwabara' sighed and tried to figure out "where the hell" they were. Aki and Motoko were chasing after Sora, or, at least, where they thought he had went.
"SORAAAAAAAA! WHERE ARE YOUUUUUUUUUU!!!" Aki yelled. Motoko sighed and shook her head. They had made their way to the place Reiko was held captive. As soon as they got there, something huge and muddy emerged from the pond.
"What in the seven hells?!" Motoko had her blade at ready.
"Shit. What can I use?! Hmm." Aki looked over at a small, but sturdy rosebush. He ran over and ripped one of the delicate blossoms of the bush.
"May the good Lord guide this flower.. Here we go!" Aki gulped. He lightly griped the rose and held it high above his head. "ROSE WHIP!" In a shower of red rose petals, Aki, rose whip in hand, was ready for battle.
"Who are you?! Where is Reiko? I know I felt her energy here." Motoko demanded. She gripped her heavyblade tightly. The muddy creature wiped its face off. It was, apparently, Evan.
"YOU! Where are our friends?!" Aki ran behind Evan, Motoko staying in front.
"Lay off, I give up, ok?" Evan said, flicking mud off his eyelids. Motoko lowered her weapon.
"What do you mean..?" Aki asked cautiously.
"I was supposed to deliver the woman to Kei, but it seems she's done the hard work for me!" He grinned madly. Everything dawned on the two. They looked at each other for a second and ran off the way Sora and Reiko had gone.
"You'll never catch up to them!" Evan started laughing like a madman. Meanwhile, Sora and Reiko had gotten into the tower with ease. They were now slowly heading up a long flight of stairs.
"Oh man, how long is this thing anyway?" Sora whined.
"Be happy we don't have to fight yet." Reiko replied. "I'm as tired as you are. See there's the end." The two walked to a large stone room. There was no light, with the exception of s few flame torches on the wall.
'Well Sora, this is it. Be brave dimwit!' Sora thought frantically.
"Well, well, well. It seems the children have finally arrived." A calm, cool voice called out.
"Who are you? Show yourself!" Reiko echoed into the back of the room.
"Ah, Reiko. I didn't think I would be meeting you so soon. You've got your mothers eyes." The voice cooed. Reiko froze. How did this person know her mother? She felt someone behind her, but was too scared to move. 'Move dammit! They're going to get you...' Reiko thought madly.
"What. lovely hair you have.." Reiko felt hands hovering over her neck. "I didn't think you would.. but Kurama's son maybe.." Sora was nowhere to be seen.
"Who are you?" Reiko choked. She was shaking now. 'Damn, don't show your weaknesses!' The voice chuckled.
"So you're scared; I'm not shocked. Karasu, they call me."
"Your supposed to be dead. you're dead! How did you escape the Makai plant?!" Reiko squealed, carefully breaking away from Karasu. She fell down.
"It was hell. That's for me to know, and you to find out. Now, why don't we start?" Karasu's eyes flickered. Reiko regained her stance. 'Got to cool it.. Got to calm down.. Got to get out!' Karasu waited for her to attack; it was a stalemate. If Reiko tried to attack, he'd touch her and blow up. If Karasu attacked, Reiko would dodge the attack and get out of the room.
"I know what you're thinking. That's not going to happen." Karasu eyed the door, and it was closed with a large slab of rock. "This is a fight to the death. Winner takes all." Meanwhile back in the Makai, Koenma had come for the show.
"It's a portable!" Koenma had explained. There were three screens: Reiko and Karasu, Yuji and Kilana, and Motoko and Aki, who were moving up the stairs.
"This doesn't look good. Karasu is a high level demon. There's no way she can win." Kurama said, his voice full of sorrow and pity.
"And where did my idiot son go?! Reiko needs help!" Yusuke cried. He was aggravated as it was.
"They should all get out of there! They're all too young!" Keiko yelled angrily at Koenma.
"Everybody calm down!" Koenma said nervously. "I've already submitted the correct paperwork, and the kids won't have to do anything else after this." He blinked. "Where'd Hiei and Botan go?" Hiei and Botan were long gone. Botan showed Hiei the hole the kids had gone through.
"You're going to have to open the gate for me, you know." Hiei growled.
"I will! Don't be such a grump. My kid is there too, you know." Botan barked back. They raced to the gate. Botan pushed it open.
"There. Try and avoid the civilians and don't say anything." Botan explained. She climbed back up the hole with a little wave. Hiei nodded and went on his way.
Okay, so this was a crappy, short chapter. I'm rewriting the earlier ones, so have patience, okay?
