Episode 20
Rionia's Wrath
The Attempt to Live
Asmera fell limp...bloody…breathless.
She wasn't going to live.
Hittoro was about to walk away when-"Hittoro we're not finished," said Toguro.
Hittoro glared at him.
"All you wanted was Genkai and my flesh and blood dead, that was our deal," he said.
Toguro gave Hittoro a dark glare.
"Don't fight me old man, save your strength," said Hittoro.
He smirked.
"Where do you plan to go without me?" sneered Toguro.
"Back home, where I belong," said Hittoro, walking off.
'Japan is always where you belong...not Egypt,not America, not China...but Japan. Your family is there right here. Don't you forget that.'
Hittoro walked off, Victoria running after him.
"You too Victoria?" asked Toguro.
"I'll kill him," she said, scowling.
"Why so?" asked Toguro.
"Because, he's a traitor," said Victoria.
..........
"Is she going to live Koenma?" asked Botan.
Hiei's fists were clenched.
"No, her spirit is fully out of her body and her soul is nowhere, there's nothing we can do," said Koenma.
Keiko screamed in horror and then started crying.
Yusuke trying to hold back on the verge of tears.
"Idiot...why-why didn't you fight him?! WHY DIDN'T YOU?!" screamed Yusuke.
Hiei paced back and forth, and then looked at the window.
The rain had cleared up long from last night.
Would have it been best to have just told Asmera that the masked murderer, the person who killed Genkai, the traitor of both Asmera and Toguro himself...that he was him?
Hiei wanted not to tell her last night.
But now he felt like a traitor himself.
"I'll kill him," he muttered.
"Who?" asked Yusuke.
"Toguro....or anyone who was involved it that mess," said Hiei.
He was too angry....and no matter how much he didn't show it he wasn't going to take it out on the rest of them.
So Hiei stayed calm.
"You know what we have to do," said Kurama.
Hiei nodded.
"Yes, tell the announcers our problem and let us tag team through the rest of the match," he replied.
"It's the only way we're winning without Asmera," said Kurama, a little cautiously...knowing that Hiei loved her.
Yes the tentai had grown stronger than ever before but, the demons they were about to face off were the strongest demons, Yusuke had about died in that attempt, Asmera about died but died anyway a year later.
They couldn't afford to loose anyone else.
____
i'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all of my childish fears
and if you have to leave
i wish that you would just leave
because your presence still lingers here
and it won't leave me alone
these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase
______
"Are we going to be able to do this?" asked Kurama.
Hiei nodded as Madessia's head shot up, her eyes were red from loosing her bestfriend, but she quavered, "I'm up for it if you people are."
Kurama smiled gentlely at her.
"You don't have to battle if you don't want to Madessia, you've lost your bestfriend, nor do you Hiei...both of you don't have to fight," he said.
"No, I'm in this kitsune," sneered Hiei.
"I agree with him, this means war and revenge, Asmera wouldn't want us wasting her life over us," said Madessia.
Keiko looked up at Madessia and nodded.
"Yes, you're-you're right, we're gonna fight until the end of this," said Keiko.
Yusuke pounded his fist on the table.
"Let's do this!" he exclaimed.
Botan and Koenma nodded.
____
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me
___
"We'll all do this for her," said Madessia.
Hiei stayed silent.
"So shrimp....you seriously wanna fight?" asked Yusuke.
"As the cat demon said, Mera wouldn't want anyone to waste time crying over her, she'd want us to fight until the end of it," replied Hiei, annoyed at the nickname.
"Seriously Hiei you don't have to fight in the battle any longer than you have to," said Koenma.
"What you idiots trying to get rid of me?" asked Hiei.
"Aw if we were Hiei, we wouldn't be telling you," said Yusuke.
____
you used to captivate me
by your resonating light
but now i'm bound by the life you left behind
your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase
_____
Hiei glared at them.
'This is for you Asmera, hear me now.'
Madessia grinned, wiping away her tears.
"Asmera would say we're acting like idiots," she said.
"Okay, enough, we're fighting right now," said Yusuke.
____
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me
i've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
and though you're still with me
i've been alone all along
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me
___
They walked downstairs, leaving Asmera's body there.
Koenma thought for a moment.
"There has to be a way," he said to himself.
____
The dice rolled.
Madessia stepped out along with Kurama at her side.
"Whatever you do, don't give in, sat behind me," muttered Kurama.
"Idiot I'm not weak," said Madessia.
A man with blonde hair and pale skin came out; he looked like no demon, not a person to be in the Crisis Tournament.
Madessia gasped, but forwarded, a dark look on her face.
"Madessia what's the matter?" asked Kurama.
"Rionia," sneered Madessia.
So this was the thief who made Madessia work for him.
"Ah Madessia, why fight your master?" asked Rionia.
"Don't smart talk Rionia, it makes you look and sound stupid," snarled Madessia.
"Who's the other?" asked Rionia.
Kurama's arm blocked Madessia from pouncing on Rionia and beating the pulp out of him.
"I am to you Kurama," replied Kurama darkly.
"The Yoko Kurama? What happened to your form? You look....human," said Rionia.
"That was the last time you met me, I'm different now....nothing but someone that you'd want to fear at the moment," said Kurama.
"You KNEW Rionia?!" exclaimed Madessia.
"My Yoko self does, but ignored his offer," replied Kurama.
"This is a wonderful family reunion but it's gonna have to be short ended," said Rionia, jumping up the air and the BANG...there was a huge explosion.
Kurama and Madessia jumped at separate ways.
"Great...a relative of Karasu," muttered Kurama.
"Nah, he controls people...take it that way," said Madessia, falling to the ground.
Kurama's eyes went wide.
"What's he doing to you?" he asked.
Madessia screamed.
"Hadn't anyone told you not to scream infront of your master?" asked Rionia.
"You're NOT my master," said Madessia, pain going through her body.
She screamed in pain once more.
Kurama tried to attack Rionia but failed to do so, only ending up hitting into Madessia.
"Fools, yes I am human...but a little different," said Rionia.
Kurama got up, giving Rionia a dark glare.
"If you want to bring pain to someone do it do me, not Madessia," he said calmly.
"You, the infamous thief Yoko Kurama would risk your own life for this pitiful girl?" asked Rionia smuggly.
"Yes, I would, she's not pitiful, she's someone to risk a life for, for all she's been through she needs something good to happen to her in life," said Kurama.
"Don't Kurama, leave me be, I rather be with Asmera, get revenge for me," said Madessia.
"No!" replied Kurama.
"See the girl wants to die so why don't we let her?" asked Rionia.
Madessia screamed again.
___
"Please, don't let another one die," whimpered Botan.
"We just have to hope for the best," said Koenma.
"I know, but I can't stand it...Genkai, Asmera...are all of us just going to die?" asked Botan.
Koenma shook his head.
"Hiei wouldn't allow himself to die in this, but yeah.. Yusuke would be a possible component-" began Koenma.
Botan slapped him just then.
Koenma staggered backwards; surprised that Botan would dare slap him...
"Don't say that Koenma, don't...I can't stand it...if I loose another person...I-I don't know what's gonna happen to me...," said Botan, falling to her knees crying.
"Botan, I was joking about Yusuke for one...for two…I know you can't stand it… you-you were so close to them all....I understand completely," said Koenma.
"I'm sorry for slapping you but this isn't a time to joke around," said Botan.
Koenma nodded.
___
Madessia fought back the pain.
"I'm gonna fight you," she muttered, walking forward.
She felt dizzy, but she didn't care.
This was revenge, for Asmera, for her father who risked his life for her, for her mother and her brothers and sisters who really didn't care about her, for Kurama, for Genkai, for everyone who she cared about.
She remembered her father's death clearly.
*********
"You wretch! They caught you in the tomb?!" screamed Rionia.
He slapped Madessia, and kicked her in the stomach, making her fall to the ground.
Madessia's father, Daimonzo, just stood there, watching her daughter get beat.
"I'm sorry," whimpered Madessia, tears threatening to fall to her cheeks to the floor.
"Oh, I'll give you something to cry about girl!" snarled Rionia, kicking her in jaw.
"Papa," murmured Madessia.
Daimonzo didn't answer, he stood silent his fists clenched.
Madessia was only 12 and getting beaten until the pulp was all that was left.
"Your daddy isn't here to save you," hissed Rionia, getting is sword out.
Madessia grimaced and closed her eyes.
She was going to die right here and now.
Oddly enough she felt no pain, no metal come to her.
Madessia heard a slump....like someone falling to the floor, the person trying to catch air but failing badly.
Madessia's eyes shot open.
Her father was gasping for air, a sword stuck in his chest...Rionia's sword.
"You.........can't...kill her," Daimonzo breathed out, and then died.
"Papa!" screamed Madessia.
Rionia took the sword out of Daimonzo's heart, Madessia grimacing as it was done.
Madessia whimpered.
"Awaken papa, awaken," she whispered.
"Idiot girl your father is dead," hissed Rionia.
Madessia backed away frightened.
Rionia just glared at Madessia.
"Clean up the mess, prepare dinner, I have nothing more to say to you," he said, walking off.
Madessia cried.
She cried so hard that she coughed up a bit of blood.
***********
"I'm going to fight you!" Madessia screamed.
Rionia smirked.
"And end up like your father? Foolish," said Rionia.
"I'm seeking revenge," snarled Madessia.
Kurama was surprised.
This was going to be a fight to the death.
(A/N: Dude...what a long chapter...I was so involved with that one. Yes it did have Evanescence's My Immortal in it...no…it doesn't belong to me....-.-` .And if it did...I'd be able to buy the whole YuYu Hakusho series. : P Madessia's past is....weird...yes she is from Spain...^.^....yeah...I don't think I explained her traveling to Spain, London, and then to Japan. Rionia was the one who made them move to Japan, because originally Rionia is from London himself. See not much is explained about Madessia and I'm not sure why I didn't explain it in Battle of the Jewel…-.-` maybe because of my endless obsession with Hiei and Asmera…lol...yeah Dark Crisis seems alot better since it revolves around all the characters...especially Hiei, Kurama, Madessia, and Asmera...originally I was planning to make it revolve around Madessia and Kurama...but it turned out weirdish and Asmera and Hiei were more involved in it. Well enough blabbering!)
Rionia's Wrath
The Attempt to Live
Asmera fell limp...bloody…breathless.
She wasn't going to live.
Hittoro was about to walk away when-"Hittoro we're not finished," said Toguro.

'Japan is always where you belong...not Egypt,not America, not China...but Japan. Your family is there right here. Don't you forget that.'
Hittoro walked off, Victoria running after him.
"You too Victoria?" asked Toguro.
"I'll kill him," she said, scowling.
"Why so?" asked Toguro.
"Because, he's a traitor," said Victoria.
..........
"Is she going to live Koenma?" asked Botan.
Hiei's fists were clenched.
"No, her spirit is fully out of her body and her soul is nowhere, there's nothing we can do," said Koenma.
Keiko screamed in horror and then started crying.
Yusuke trying to hold back on the verge of tears.
