Kidnapped
~~~On the Path Towards Where Irizu is Rumored to Head To~~~
"Wonder how long it's been since we left the modern days. I miss my bed, my tv, my kitty, and especially Yukina…"
Kuwabara babbled on for ages about what he missed. He received another icy glare from Hiei who walked neared the back.
"I bet Irizu is running or something, no matter how far we go, we never seem to find any trace of him. Maybe we were informed wrong."
Kagome sighed thinking that they had spent all this time on a false trail.
"No, your humans senses cannot detect the cleverly hidden evidence. It is around here."
Sesshomaru said while looking at the path, it's dirt messy without a trace of a track.
While the group conversed about further plans, Rin and Shippo played. They began to go deeper and deeper into the forest. Soon they had lost all their sense of direction and wandered around, hoping to see something that they recognized.
"Rin, Shippo? Where are you?"
A familiar voice called to them. It was Kagome and a sharp scream followed, echoing deep in the wood. The pair quickly ran into the direction of where the voice originated. They stopped abruptly, turning to run back. Kagome had been sent into a deep unconsciousness, but had burned the youkai's hand when she was grabbed. Shippo and Rin were grabbed and a foul smelling odor put them into slumber, Rin's weak scream following Kagome's.
"Rin!"
Sesshomaru whispered before running off after his beloved little companion. Kurama followed suit while some of them packed up their supplies and others following the two that were ahead of them. They were all too late though, the youkai were the quickest of their kind, running off by mere moments before their foes came.
~~~Irizu's Camp~~~
"Lord Irizu, we have captured them."
One of them threw the three captives. Each were gagged and their hands tied behind their back along with their legs. All of them were asleep and were piled on top of each other. Shippo unfortunately being on the bottom.
"Good, you are dismissed and send me that new recruit to take them away. I want that Sesshomaru and Youko here as soon as possible."
Irizu replied absentmindedly eyes watching the one known as Kagome Higurashi. She didn't seem so powerful.
~~~Back With the Search Party~~~
"Where is she…we should hurry. Their scents are fading and it might begin to rain soon."
Kurama stated while running, dodging the trees and the bushes. Hiei and Sesshomaru were in front of him. Sesshomaru searching while running towards the general direction that they were mostly likely headed to.
"I bet this is a trap and we're fa-"
Whoever was talking was cut short by a strange voice.
"That's right!"
A tall person jumped from a high branch. His clothing was bold and vibrant in reds, blues, greens, and purples. The upper garment was a combination of blue and green cloth that resembled a vest. The pants were baggy and red and purple. A black obi wrapped around his middle. The hair was a dark red that was spiked with a white band at the origin of the hair. His eyes an amber color with little specks of gold. An overconfident grin on his face.
"I am Raiku, the Lord of Colors, Music, Love and Dance! You may have known my half-brother, Suzaku. A shame he died, I wanted to kill him, but oh well bow down to me!"
His voice was a falsetto tone. He had a strange feel of being from the modern ages. Raiku staring down at the trio who didn't budged and stared at him with a 'what do you want?' look.
"What? No one bows to the Great Raiku? Then maybe this will persuade you to."
While snapping his fingers twice, a rustle in the bushes nearby could be heard. Two large youkai stood holding Rin, Kagome, and Shippo, all of them in deep sleep.
"Let them go!"
Sesshomaru said sternly, looking at the emotionless face of the sleeping Rin.
"No! I don't want to!"
Raiku's voice was a whiny as he crossed his arms while pouting.
"Then prepare to fight!"
Hiei said while drawing his sword.
"Oh, this will be so much fun!"
The falsetto voice stated followed by a stream of giggles. He drew his weapon, it was somewhat like a whip, but it wasn't. It was more like a ribbon that shimmered different colors at each movement. The ribbon whip looked silky shiny then glittery and rough.
"La la la la laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
He sang, testing his voice.
"Let's shut him up, he annoys me."
Hiei said while the others nodded.
"I would think twice before doing that!"
He dismissed the two youkai leaving only him alone. Sesshomaru and Kurama were about to run towards the hostages until a multi colored barrier stopped them
"No, no, no! Wouldn't want to ruin the stakes, would we? Rainbow Whirl!"
A whirl of colors wrapped round the three sleepers, bringing them towards Raiku.
"My, my, my, ain't she the pretty little thing? Oh, look at that precious face of the little girl and that charming look of the fox."
Sesshomaru glared at Raiku.
"We wouldn't want any of them to get hurt, would we? I have a deal for you, a three on three battle to see who is the number one fighter. Oh this will be so much fun! Boys, come on out!"
The two previous youkai came out, one holding a scythe while the other holding a spiked club. Each of the members in the trio gripped their weapon harder. Kurama's rose already turned into a whip while Sesshomaru and Hiei had their swords out. Kurama and Sesshomaru moved towards the foes only to be stopped by the same multi colored barrier. Hiei glanced over at them as he slashed at the youkai holding the spiked club.
"Let us out!"
Kurama shouted as he pounded against the unbreakable barrier.
"No! I don't want to! You can't make me!"
Raiku sounded just like a whiny 5-year-old boy, well actually more like a girl with his falsetto voice.
Hiei slashed twice and the one holding the club fell dead on the ground, in pieces. The one with the scythe fell from a surprise attack. Hiei had run in circles around the slow youkai and sliced the back.
"YAY! My turn now!"
Raiku jumped from his position on the branch, landing gracefully while doing a spin on his toe like a ballerina.
"Ta DA!"
He easily evaded the incoming attacks from Hiei while doing a short dance. Hiei glared at the tap dancing fool, the ribbon whip waving around in the air.
"Ribbon Wheel!"
The ribbon span furiously around, a circle of air bombarding towards Hiei. It was huge and the circle glittered while Raiku smiled with pleasure. Hiei barely missed it, his left arm and leg severely bruised by the impact of the colored wind. His grip was still hard even though his hand ached. Running in circles around the dancing demon, he slashed at various times.
"NO! You ruined my perfect outfit! You'll pay for that! Violet Veil!"
Purple light surrounded the demon as he began to transform. The hair turning purple as did his eyes. Violet make-up covering some parts of his face. The clothing turned a dark violet with some lavender and purple.
"How do I look? Do I look fat in this outfit?"
"Absolutely hideous."
Hiei spat at the now frowning demon.
"I HATE YOU!"
The moody Raiku shouted in-between fake sobs. Hiei took this chance to hit the demon. The keen blade cutting the flesh of the scary lord. A cry of pain following the deep gash. Hiei continued to slash and slash until Raiku weakly stepped away, amazing he survived the oncoming attacks.
"That hurts you know! Now I'll never be the perfect demon because of you! Blue Beginning!"
Blue light sprinkled around Raiku as his eyes turned dark blue. The spiky hair becoming an electric blue. The clothing changed into various shades of blue. The gashes started to close up and heal. The clothing that was shredded, mending back together. The violet make-up turning to blue.
"Happy you made me aggravated? Each time I change my color, it's like changing from one body to the next. I become stronger as I go to different colors."
"Hn."
That was his only response as he jumped up, sword ready. The two other fighters were watching, hands on the barrier like a mime.
"Frozen Beauty!"
The ribbon turns straight and hard, it's edges jagged. The color turning light blue and white. Once the ribbon was complete, he began to sing something in a high soprano.
"Frozen beauty of the night,
Separate, kill and stop this fight,
Jagged edges pierce the flesh,
Of the foe before me!"
The jagged spikes separated from the ribbon, flying up then down towards Hiei. There were thousands of them, sharp and pointed right at Hiei. Several grazed his arms as he dodged the swarms of them. Most of them got stuck in a tree or on the ground. The shards of ice were like homing missiles, following Hiei everywhere he went. Hiei did an easy job evading them with his agility. Only a few caught him, but he ignored the pain. Several of the razor sharp edges stuck onto the barrier, the solid edge shining in its glory. Soon all of the edges were stuck somewhere.
"Let's end this now!"
Hiei shouted while jumping up with his sword poised to attack. Raiku gave a look of shock with his hands next to his face. The mouth gaping in an oval. The sword fell down. Miss.
"You look shocked, Hiei, don't you know my amazing speed and grace? Well let me show you. I'll put on a little dance called the Blood Spiller, but first a costume change! Sweet Yellow Melody!"
Pale golden light showered him. Slowly the hair turned a whitish blonde while his clothing became shades of gold and yellow. The make-up turned gold as he twirled around on a foot.
"I look stunning if I say so myself, absolutely positively gorgeous, not to be conceited or anything. Well on with the show. I hope you two over there are enjoying it."
He began to twirl the ribbon around him while spinning. An amused look spread across his face. Soon he was spinning so fast he was a blur. The ribbon grew golden spikes on its edges, the metal glinting in the light. The mini spiked tornado rampaged towards Hiei. Although big, it was quite slow making it easy to avoid. The yellow tornado slowed and when it did a pouting Raiku stood before them.
"No fair! I never can have any fun! All of you are such meanies! Red Rhapsody! Oh fun!"
Crimson light shined all around him like a swirl. The hair grew longer till it came to his eyes. The clothing turning to blood red, the blood of former victims dyed into the clothing. Red make-up smeared on his face while the ribbon formed into a fiery sword. His body grew larger, almost twice the previous size.
"Your blood will add to the color of my clothing! Tehehehe!"
The monstrous Raiku began to giggle, shaking in light falsetto giggles.
"Oh my! My manners are just horrid! On with business!"
He struck a pose before charging at Hiei. Hiei seemed really small compared to Raiku.
"Sword of the Darkness Flame!"
Hiei shouted as his sword erupted in black flames. He parried the first attack as both of them went into a life or death duel. Although Raiku was much bigger, they were evenly matched. No matter how serious this was, Raiku seemed like there was no tomorrow.
"After this I think I'll make a little puppet that will look just like you. The same with the both of you! I'll play Tea Party and House and all sorts of fun games I played when I was a little baby!"
Raiku said dreamily before being thrown to the ground.
"Hey! This outfit was very expensive you know!"
"Hmph."
Hiei's sword was inches away from Raiku's neck. He made a sweeping movement, but when the sword came across where the neck was supposed be, it missed. Raiku was not there. A sharp object poked Hiei at the back of his neck.
"You're too slow to see me, darling!"
Raiku was right behind him with Hiei at swordpoint.
"His speed is amazing, faster then Hiei. I hardly saw him move."
Kurama commented. Sesshomaru nodded watching Raiku do a little twirl, letting the position slip just a bit. Enough for Hiei though. Hiei slipped away from the sword and slashed the back of Raiku who was still dancing.
"Your own blood will color the garments. You're going to wish you never did that idiotic dance of your's."
Raiku was crying from the wound, the face red from anger and the runny make-up.
"I HATE YOU!"
"How many times have you said that to me?"
Hiei sneered at Raiku, as the sword slashed at Raiku's arm. More blood splashed on the ground as Raiku clutched the arm, wincing with pain. Hiei moved in for the final blow.
"RAINBOW BLAST!"
Bright light erupted from Raiku's palm aimed right at Hiei. Hiei was thrown back to a tree where his form was still. His head resting against his chest as the sword fell from his grasp.
"Is he dead?"
"I don't think so. I thought I saw his hand twitch, but that fool is too busy singing and dancing that he doesn't notice."
Suddenly Hiei jumped up while grabbing his sword and swinging at Raiku. Raiku parried easily, jumping back.
"Sneaking up on people isn't nice."
Raiku told Hiei while waving his index finger.
"Who cares?"
"I do. You know, you'll never find your true love like that."
"Hmph."
"You know that look doesn't suit you, shorty."
Hiei's glare grew harder as he evaded the on coming attack.
~~~Meanwhile with the Other Search Party~~~
"Where have they gone to? We have to find their trail again. The rain is washing away everything!"
Sango shouted. Miroku came over to her and put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry, Sango, we'll find them."
Miroku responded while his hand began to descend, but before it could reach its destination, it was thrown down. A swift slap across Miroku's face left him grinning.
"Sango loves me because every time she does that to me, it says I love you."
~~~Modern Times~~~
"Yusuke, come back safe please, for me."
Keiko said softly while watching the stars.
~~~Hiei vs. Lord Raiku Fight~~~
"This is the last round, Hiei, and I know I will come out with a victory!"
Raiku shouted in a serious voice for the first time.
"I don't think so."
Both of them were locked in battle as Kurama and Sesshomaru watched helplessly in the unbreakable barrier.
"You will die!"
Raiku shouted as he charges at Hiei in blind rage. Hiei dodged it and slammed the sword down on Raiku's back. Raiku screamed then his body went limp. The red eyes wide in shock and glazing over. The ribbon turning into a regular everyday one. The barrier trapping Sesshomaru and Kurama breaking.
"Rin!"
Sesshomaru shouted as the little girl rubbed her eyes sleepily. The sleeping gas wearing off. One of her hands rubbed her head as the other supported Rin as she got up.
"Sesshomaru! What happened?"
"Um…could you get off of me?"
Shippo was under the girls. Rin jumped off, stretching her arms as she did. Kagome got up and walked towards Hiei and Kurama with clumisness. Shippo stood up, scowling at his tired limbs.
"So what happened?"
Kagome asked, glancing over to Raiku.
"Who's he?"
"A dancing fool."
"Oh. So what happened?"
"He kidnapped the three of you, trapped Sesshomaru and I in a cage, fought Hiei, and lost."
"Hm."
"My head hurts."
Rin said while rubbing her head.
"I have just the solution!"
Shippo piped in as he began to chase Rin while waving herbs.
~~~Camp~~~
The other group finally found the six missing members. They all settled down as Sesshomaru stood guard. A large fire slowly began to dwindle as time went on. Two shadowed figures watched the group from the security of the trees, Sesshomaru staring right at them. They ran off after a while.
"So he's back, with a new ally this time."
Sesshomaru whispered as he continued to stare at the last place the two strange figures were.
AN: -gasp- Who are these two figures? Eh sorry for not updating soon. I could not reach my computer long enough and when I did my mind got distracted from thinking of my next story.
