~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Why did you kidnap my Dad, Uncle Fluffy?" "Desist with that name baka and I will tell you! I did it because.." He trailed off, staring blankly at a nearby wall.
A deep, hissing like voice penetrated the room. It sent shivers up my spine as it spoke. "Useless Demon" it breathed. "You dare try to give away my plans!?" 'Oh, boy' I thought. 'It sounds angry, whatever 'IT' is'.
"I know longer have any use for you!" It continues to hiss. I saw Uncle Fluffy snap out of his staring at the wall fit, blink furiously, and sink to his knees, like a puppet that had had it's strings cut. Jaken, in it's high pitched wail that made my ears hurt wailed "Master" as it rushed over to my fallen Uncle.
'Now I know this might sound a little strange' I told my brain. 'But there is a tendril of gop reaching out from that putrid colored gate thingie' I blinked. Now there were several tendrils reaching out from the gate. One was reaching for Uncle Fluffy, one for my Dad, another coming my way, and one towards the annoying Jaken. The one that closed in on Jaken merely grabbed him and squeezed him to death. No big loss there.
"Now I will have you all" the snake like voice hissed deeply. One tendril grabbed Uncle Fluffy, and pulled him into the gate. The only sound it made was a 'plop' sound. The next one grabbed Dad. I ran forward and tried to grab him before he too was gone in a 'plop'. (A/N: You are probably wondering why everyone else is just standing there, well, don't worry, everything's is just happening too fast for them to keep up.)
I felt a cold slimy tendril wrap itself around my waist, it was so cold that it burned. I screamed in pain. But even in my pain, I heard someone cry out "Rose Whip". I felt the tendril jerk violently and then release me. I fell to the floor clutching my waist, where the tendril had grabbed me. The next thing I felt was a cool hand on my forehead. I looked up and saw the bright green eyes of Kurama. He was staring worriedly down at me. I smiled wanly at him. He helped me stand while the others were attacking the remaining tendrils.
"YOU WILL NOT STOP ME!" The voice hissed in anger. Hundreds of tendrils shot out of the gate and wrapped them selves around all of us. The voice sounded again "You are all mine, all you powerful creatures!" The gate, with its putrid swirling colors pulled us towards itself with extreme quickness. Then I was pulled into the mess. It was thick and slimy; I couldn't breath. My lungs were on fire from lack of oxygen. Then, when I thought I would suffocate, I was through.
I landed on top of Kurama, again. He was coated with the gate material, as was everyone else, as was I. I had to roll of him to breathe easier. As I flopped onto my back, I stared at the vaulted ceiling. There were arches, and sculptures, columns with ornate designs carved into them. I didn't think anything of them, but in hindsight, I wish I did. But, I was battered, bruised, my waist throbbed, and I was very tired. I fell asleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(Kurama POV time!)
I saw the tendrils pull themselves out of the gate and head for Alex, her Dad, and her 'Uncle Fluffy.' The men were the first to be grabbed and pulled into the gate. I heard Alex scream as another tendril wrapped itself around her delicate wrist. I couldn't do anything. I pulled out my weapon, "Rose Whip!" I lashed out with my whip, snagging the tendril and making it release her, which it did to me great relief. She sagged to the ground, her arm wrapped around her waist.
When I rushed over to her, she was still on her knees, breathing heavily. I knelt down next to her and she gazed up at me and gave me a half-hearted smile. But I still saw her pain through her emerald eyes. Stray wisps of ruby colored hair had become loosed, and now framed her lovely face. The voice hissed out evilly, "YOU WILL NOT STOP ME!" and hundreds of tendrils shot out from the gateway and wrapped us all in the disgusting slime. It hissed something else, but the icy pain was overwhelming, and I think I blacked out.
I awoke next to Alex, her hand was on my shoulder, and her face faced the ceiling. It was an amazing ceiling. The careful craftsmanship was apparent from even down here, The etchings on the columns had elegant flowing drawings at first sight. But as I looked harder, they were still elegant, but they were violent and depicted destruction and chaos. I sat up to peer closer at the drawings. They appeared to be of humans being tortured mercilessly by demons. But these demons were not like those of the Spirit world. These appeared darker, more murderous than anyone I had ever heard of. In one world, evil. These drawings sent a shiver up my spine. (A/N: Ohhhh.Kurama with the chills! Read on!)
I heard a scuttling on the walls, but it was dark. I couldn't discern where the sound was coming from. It sounded like it was coming from all around, yet no where at the same time. I quietly called to the others to wake up. Somehow, groggily, they all woke up with a minimum of swearing from Yusuke. Hiei was the first on his feet, his sword flashing into his hands. Yusuke was on his feet, silently looking around. Kuwabara was no where to be seen (A/N: He's not that powerful so they threw him back out. He is now sitting on his butt back in the cave.)
I saw Alex stand, a determined look on her face as she also searched the shadows for the slight sounds. I stared in shock at her hands. Somehow, she had acquired two long, thin daggers. They were resting loosely but capably, in her strong nimble fingers. We arranged ourselves in a sort of circle, facing outward.
Then, the worst thing that could have happened did happen. Silence. There was no sound other than the sound of our own breathing. It was eerily quiet. I could feel the tension grow. And I was expecting Yusuke to start swearing again at any moment.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(Alex POV time!)
I grabbed my stilettos from their hiding spaces up my sleeves, and waited. The tension was making my back stiff, and my posture, a half crouch, and irritated my waist where the tendril had grabbed me the first time. I was acutely aware of Kurama standing next to me. The total silence was unnerving.
There was a wisp of a sound to my right, where Yusuke stood. I nudged him slightly and he nodded back at me, understanding that he heard it too. It was a tense few more moments, straining to see in the darkness, but when the attack finally came, we weren't facing the right direction. I was thrown forward. Somehow something had settled in the center of our circle with out any of us knowing. How it did so, I couldn't fathom. 'Maybe it fell from the ceiling' I thought, my mind in turmoil.
I looked around frantically to catch a glimpse of Yusuke, Hiei, or Kurama. I could barely make out a bluish glow. 'Yusuke's Spirit Gun' I remembered belatedly as I was knocked forward again by something that I could not see. Yet. I wasn't a priestess for nothing. If I couldn't handle this evil, then I didn't deserve to be a priestess. I let my power flare out. It didn't make the room visible, but it did make the creatures visible.
Small creatures that were not higher that my waist. That is, if they stood up straight. Beady eyes shined with malice as skin stretched over a skull like face. They had no nose, and their claws appeared to be caked with dirt and dried blood. Thin sparsely hair lay lank across thin shoulders. The emaciated body covered with dark gray patches of sewn on dead flesh. One of them grinned at me, revealing rows of wickedly sharp teeth.
'I am a priestess. I will not fall here!' I thought tersely. Once again I gathered my power, pushing it into my stilettos. They began to glow a faint, but steady white. The creature's eyes widened in surprise and what I thought might have been fear. I lashed out with the stiletto that was in my right hand, severing its head from its disgusting body. It fell into an almost bloodless heap. The other creatures paused from trying to subdue the others. They began to wail. It was irritating, but then they outright pulled a banshee wail. I dropped to my knees, my hands covering my ears. "SHUT UP!" I screamed, my miko powers flooding through the room. The creatures shrieked in pain and vanished, leaving behind small piles of an ashy power. And once again, I passed out.
