Chapter 8: Group Gatherings.
Everything seemed to be cold, shivering cold, opening her eyes Shizu realized she was in deep shit. She was in some sort of jail cell, the next thing she realized that an unconscious Jin was laying on the ground across from her. She tried to crawl over to him but realized that there was something on her leg prohibiting her from doing so. Looking behind, Shizu realized that she was chained to the wall. A sweat dropped formed in the corner of her forehead.
"Do they think that I'm really that weak," she muttered as she tried melting it with her little firepowers. When all the smoke cleared she realized that she didn't even dent the thing. "What the hell?" She tried the same thing but with a little more effort. Still there was no change, "BURN YOU LITTLE BASTARD!!!!!!" With all the yelling it had woken up Jin.
"What do ye think yer doin!?!" he mumbled as he rolled over on his side. Blinked a couple of times, Shizu stared at him with a strange look on her face. Then he finally hit him. "Good God where de hell are we!?! An why am I chaine'd to de wall!!!!!!!" Shizu just sweat dropped.
"Bout time you got up," a voice called from across the hall in the other cell. Both of them looked up and saw two people staring back at them. The one that had talked was a fiery looking female, was a bit shorter than normal women are. Her long wild red hair went down to her ankles. Bright red jewels as earrings on her pointy like ears, and her bright red eyes seemed to hold some inside fire. Her outfit consisted off a tight black body suit that had short sleeves, and a V shape around her neck. There were patches of red material here and there and a red jacket.
The young man next to her didn't look so agitated. "I'm so sorry for Candice's behavior." The girl named Candice made a 'hmph', and folded her arms. The man was about six feet tall, with short deep blue hair, and tanned skin. He had cargo like kaki pants and no shirt. Nice muscles all over his body. There were a few scars scattered across his chest and arms.
"And who are you guys?" Shizu asked as she stood up, but she couldn't reach the bars of the cell that surrounded them. The guy smiled nervously.
"Well, obviously we're stuck here too."

Yusuke felt like the last bit of sanity snap. But someone grabbed him and started dragging him in a different direction. He tried to break free but the huge bulk of the person prevented him from doing so. Peering to the left he saw another figure this one was smaller though, it was carrying a raving Riku. The next thing he knew he was out of the city limits. He looked up to the person that had a good grip around him. Something clicked.
"You look awfully familiar," Yusuke said narrowing his eyes at this person that had a huge piece of cloth wrapped around their head. Only a small slit was visible for the eyes. The person seemed to smile slightly.
"Mrr mrf mrr mrr mff mrr mrrr," it tried to say.
"What?"
The figure pulled off its scarf to reveal Chu, Yusuke looked over to his left again to see Touya pulling off his little turban like thing too. Once the cloth was removed from Chu's face it was a little bit easier to understand what he was saying.
"Good thing we got you guys out of there," He said smiling, "They would've of got you." Yusuke didn't say anything he was still appalled out the whole turban thing. Touya seemed to get what Yusuke's train of thought was. He laid the now unconscious Riku on the ground, and walked over to Yusuke.
"You're wondering why we had those cloths on our faces." Yusuke nodded. "Well, see that." Touya pointed to the city for the first time he saw that purplelish mist all over the city. "That my friend is a sort of mist that make some demons lose their minds. The only way to block it is to cover up any breathing areas. We were hoping to get here before you guys went into the city but it was too late."
Touya's sad eyes focused themselves on the ground. "You couldn't save Shizu," Yusuke said softly. Touya nodded.
"Jin tried to, we warned him but he didn't listen to us. Now he's gone too. We have no idea where to begin looking." Yusuke clenched his fists in anger. "But, we will try and rescue them, they are a part of this team…..part of this family." Everyone who was listening nodded in agreement.
"And I know where to get help," Yusuke said eyes narrowed and focused on a goal.

"Soooo, your Barak and your Candice," Shizu said trying to learn their names. "I'm Shizu, and this is my friend Jin." Everyone said his or her hellos. "So why are we here?" Shizu asked trying to see any logic in her and Jin's kidnapping.
Barak, the tough looking young male, sighed and leaned against one of the walls in his cell, "We're all half demons." Shizu eyes held much confusion, but Jin raised his hand.
"A'ye not a half demon, a'ye a full blood." At his words Barak and Candice both looked a mixture of scared and furious. Jin immediately regretted what he said.
"YOU'RE A FULL DEMON!!!!!!!!" Candice yelled out in fury. Fire started forming around her petite body. "SHIZU GET AWAY FROM HIM!!!!!!!" But Shizu who had no clue what was going on and tried to dove in front of Jin protectively but the chain on her ankle kinda prevented her from reaching him.
"DON'T HURT ME!!!"
"YES!!! DON'T HURT ME!!!!!!!" Jin yelled who now feared for his life. He cowered at the hurtful looking fire that danced around Candice. Candice looked at Shizu in confusion.
"Why do you protect him!?! You know that full blooded demons are after our lives!!!" Barak shouted also powering up. But Shizu put up a barrier in front of the two of them as they unleashed their attacks onto Jin. Thankfully the barrier held. But much to their joy the bars that were holding them did not. Candice and Barak both made their way over to Jin.
"He's like my family!!! Please don't hurt him!! He kinda raised me!!" Shizu begged. The other two half-demons looked at each other and shrugged. But they kept glaring at Jin like he was going to jump up and bite them. Shizu sighed and lifted the leg that was chained to the wall. "I'm assuming that you can get out of this." Candice smiled one of her cocky smiles and walked over to Shizu, she held her hand over the chain that was connected to Shizu's leg. Her hand started to glow red and an immense stream of fire shot out of her hand and melted away the metal. Shizu's eyes widened. "Wow!! That's amazing!! I tried to use my fire magic but it didn't work!"
Candice looked at her with a somewhat confused and somewhat interested face. "You do some fire magic?"
Shizu shrugged slightly, "I don't have a particular element." Candice and Barak's eyes lit up.
"Then that means that you're the third half-demon they were looking for!" Barak said smiling he held out a hand. "Welcome to the team!" Shizu took his hand but did not shake because everything seemed to be going way over her head.
"What team?" Jin asked.
Candice sent a glare in his direction, "This strange organization is forming a team of half-demons for a new tournament their starting. They say that half-demons will be better fighters soooo, that's when they set up this bounty thing for all half-demons. The only problem is if they don't meet the standards they kill them." She spit some venom on that last part.
"We are the lucky finalists," Barak said dully. He looked over at Candice, "I bet you already know Candice's special ability it's fire. And as for mine, I've been practicing with Water magic all my life. It's a bad thing that we're all captured here and they'll probably make us fight against our will. Now all they have to do is get one more half-demon with a certain trait." Everyone was either in deep thought or really confused.
"Umm….but why would they want me? I have no particular element that I'm good at, I've just practiced with them all," Shizu said.
Candice smirked and placed her hands on her hips, "They want four demons in all to make a team, five if lucky just in case they need a substitution. But here's the thing they want each type of element for most, and one particular half-demon that has all sorts of elements. And that one is supposed to lead the team."
"Me lead!?!" Shizu gasped.
"A'ye! That's not de brightest ding in de world!" Jin said chuckling just before getting hit on the head pretty hard by Shizu. She wasn't too happy.
"What was that old man!?!"
"Aawwww now, don't be startin this again!" Barak and Candice couldn't believe what they were seeing. Barak sighed and Candice giggled. This is going to be one exciting team. But what about Jin, will the organization realize that he isn't a full blood?

"Sooo Yusuke?" Riku asked, who had now got over from the deadly mist. Everyone was following Yusuke to some place they didn't know. "Who is going to help us? All of us are demon outcasts and you were once a spirit detective."
Yusuke smiled softly, "We're going to see an old employer of mine." Everyone didn't really know who he was talking about they just hoped that he could help.
