Chapter 11

Onimaho is Who?

************************************************************************

Echo eventually got bored of eating chocolate and drinking vanilla coke. (I would NEVER get bored of that)

She tried to start a conversation with Hiei about something, but he would just respond with pissed off looks and sarcastic remarks.

"Are you two keeping yourselves occupied in there?" asked Botan from outside the closet.

"No! We are bored out of our minds! How long is it going to take for Koenma to find that key?"

"I don't know. Yusuke won't help because he is too busy laughing about how Hiei is stuck in the closet with a girl."

"That moron is dead as soon as I get out of here!" said Hiei. "I think my dragon of darkness flame needs some exercise. Yusuke should be the perfect target."

During the commotion from the closet incident, Kurama had disappeared. He had a good idea. He didn't usually act as a spy, but under the circumstances, it might prove useful.

"Ah Kurama. What brings you here?"

"Onimaho. I want to help you."

"Why do I find it hard to believe that you suddenly want to switch loyalties like this? The powers of Echo are sister to your own. Do you really want to hand her over to me?"

"So the girl is what you want," said Kurama. "Good. To me, she is nothing but a nuisance. She has no idea the full extent of her powers. She doesn't deserve them." (He could get an award for acting!)

"I agree. I should have gotten those powers. I was Liso's son. Do you have any idea how much I wanted those powers? I should have gotten them! I can get them still. I make very many machines that do a variety of things. I even have one that can manipulate dreams. I will capture that girl and use one of my machines to extract her powers and transfer them into me."

"Tell me this, how did you become a demon if you are my half brother, and Echo's relative, and you didn't get our father's powers?"

"I made some foolish demons dream that they would get more power if they went to a certain place at a certain time. I used my power-transferring machine and stole their powers so I could be stronger. How would I get the girl otherwise?"

"I see. I will now take my leave."

"Wait! You haven't told me when the ones you have betrayed will come to attack!" yelled Onimaho, but Kurama was already gone.

"I didn't know that even humans could be that stupid," Kurama said to himself.

I'm sorry this chapter was so short. I got writer's block in the middle of it and my computer crashes a lot so I didn't want to risk not loading it. The exams that I am in the middle of taking aren't helping either. They are almost done though! School is almost done! 7th grade is almost done! My birthday is on May 25! YAY! Anyway. read and review!
