MC: I see.

Kura: What are you talking about?!

MC and MP: Um…er…. Nothing?

Kura: Grr…

MC: *whispers to MoonPearl* Kura's always in a bad mood whenever Kurama ditches her.

Chapter 9-Trust and Betrayal (This reminds me of the Rurouni Kenshin movie)

"Hey, where's red boy?" Yusuke asked Hiei. He hissed, "How am I supposed to know?" Yusuke rolled his eyes is annoyance and asked everyone the same question. They didn't know either. 'Something's wrong…' thought Yusuke as he looked at a trail of smoke coming out of the trees.

Mariah yawned as she climbed out of bed. Looking around, she stealthily lifted her mattress which revealed a small worn out book. Sighing in relief, she put her mattress back down and sat on top of it. Ever since Zelia told them about the Prophecy, they were extra careful with the two sacred weapons. Especially with Kyoshi around. Before they figured about the Prophecy, they used the staff as a attachment to a brush to use it as a broomstick. As for the book, it just gathered dust on the shelves. They never thought it was so dangerous and precious. Now they do, and guard it with their life. Turning around, she saw her two friends sleeping soundly. Zelia was almost falling out of her bed, and Aure seemed like she was playing hide-and-seek under the covers. Chuckling, she went out of the room and decided to drink a jot of tea.

Getting into the living room she saw that Kurama was nowhere to be found and Kyoshi was sleeping, balancing on the balcony railing. A nasty thought sprouted in her head. 'What if I push him…' Mariah shook her head. Aure would not like that and would never forgive her for that kind of cruelty. At least they have to fight with honor. Mariah sighed. Mariah sometimes thought that Aure was a real goody-goody. "Whatever." she muttered as she opened the cabinet to get a teapot. Turning around again, she saw that Kyoshi wasn't on the railing anymore. Raising an eyebrow, she cautiously walked outside, holding the teapot like a weapon.

Looking down, she saw Kyoshi talking…Mariah gasped…with Leiko. "So, you've been staying in there so you could snatch the weapons?" Leiko said. Kyoshi nodded and added, "I made Kurama go away. He would tell, no doubt, the Urameshi team about us and the scenario right now. Then the it'll be easy for me to steal the weapons." Leiko smiled and her blood-red eyes flickered like a evil fire. Suddenly, a voice rang out, "You piece of bull shit!" Kyoshi turned around and at the same moment, a teapot hit him right on the face. Falling onto the ground, he looked up furious. It was Mariah baring her teeth and steaming with anger. Then she ran back into the house. Leiko was about to shoot a fireball, but Kyoshi stopped her. "I'll handle this. If you attack, her friends will believe in what she just heard. If you just Shimmer, there will be a less chance of our plan being revealed." Leiko reluctantly nodded, and disappeared.

Meanwhile, just as Kyoshi predicted, Kurama was talking to the YYH team about what happened. "How'd you get hurt so badly?" Yusuke asked as he pointed to his bandaged hands. Kurama looked at them and chuckled. He casually said, "I was electrocuted." Everyone looked bug-eyed at him. "HUH?!" "What does electrocuted mean?" Kuwabara asked. Everyone fell down on their faces. "I'm even smarter then brick head here…" Yusuke mumbled, then he turned to Kurama. "But where were you?" Kurama explained everything immediately. After he finished, the group was left speechless. Then Boton said curiously, "But what made you so sure to come here when they could be in danger…" Kurama turned to her in panic. "Oh, god." he whispered. Then a black flash whizzed by. Then Kurama yelled after him, "Wait Hiei! You don't know what's protecting them!"

Zelia clutched the staff that she was now holding at Kyoshi's neck and Mariah was prepared to decipher the spells. As for Aure she was utterly shocked that Kyoshi would do such a disgraceful thing. Zelia said in a deep voice, "Heh. You think we wouldn't believe Mariah when she was our friend and trustee ever since we were at preschool?" Kyoshi's eyes hardened and his eyes turned toward Aure, but Mariah blocked his view. "Don't you dare look at her Kyoshi. You betrayed her enough already." she hissed. Kyoshi bared his teeth and said in a quiet voice, "I have grown used to this protection spell that Aure has cast. Now I can move swiftly as any demon." Zelia's eyes grew wide. Suddenly, the room turned chaotic and dark. Then it was total darkness. Yells and screams could be heard. Crashes, splintering wood and the thunk of metal was also heard. Aure was shaking her head furiously and yelled on top of her voice, "STOP! I COMMAND YOU TO STOP!" Then the heavy atmosphere lifted and the darkness retreated. Opening her eyes, she looked up and saw that they had stopped. Literally. Kyoshi was about to punch Zelia, but his fist was stopped mid-air. Zelia was looking somewhere else while Mariah was laying on the ground unconscious with her glasses broken. Everywhere was debris, broken plates, and pots and pans everywhere. Then she saw the staff and book in Kyoshi's other hand. Weakly crawling to him, she took a quick glance at Kyoshi. His face was twisted with anger, but his eyes showed regret. Shaking her head, Aure slowly took the staff and book away from his hand. Just then, Hiei burst in. He was limping and cuts were all over him. It was pretty obvious that he didn't dodge the lighting bolts so easily. They stared at each other for awhile until Aure shook her head and pushed the staff and book into his hands. "Please, go back and keep these safe." Hiei gave her puzzled eyes. "What are you saying--" "There's no time! Go!" Aure said quickly. Obeying without giving a second thought, he raced out. Closing the door behind her, she looked at the chaos. Her eyes turned to a mixture of deep purple, black, and white. Then crystal like tears formed in her eyes and streamed down her cheeks. Slowly she slid to the ground, crying for the sake of trust and betrayal.
