Chapter 19

Everyone tries to escape

"Yeah!" Shizuru shouted as she danced along with some other people and cheered Mitohino, the band's main singer. There were people who were cheering them along.

"I never thought this was how a concert is!" Sumiko shouted as people cheered as Mitohino jumped to his fans and they carried him.

"You should be fond of it!" Keiko shouted as she cheered the band on.

"When will the tanks come?" Hanma asked his son Antiochi. They seemed to be underground.

"Father, in about an hour." Antiochi answered as looked at his watch.

"Good." Hanma said as he looked at the army of demons in human form. There were thousands and most of them were thin. They really need the food. Human-women food.

Antioch looked up as a faint sound of people cheering could be heard. "Father, I can't wait for the moment that we eat. I have been very bored with the ningen food. I need human food." he said as he rubbed his stomach.

Hanma placed an arm around his son's shoulder. "We will soon have a feast my son. Then I will show you your sister. I want to take revenge on Hiei Jaganshi, however, that can wait until we are done with our feeding time. We will be stronger by then. I have also given him dreaded dreams to make him not want to sleep. I do not know where he is but he will receive the radiation I have given off." he said.

Antiochi nodded as he cuddled to his father.

***
Tanks were slowly rolling in the streets of Japan and no one seems to notice. These tanks have taken shortcuts where there were little people. Whenever someone saw those tanks, someone would jump out of it and kill whoever saw them, taking their bodies and eating them.

Up in the air, armored helicopters were slowly flying one by one dressed as news helicopters. They were hardly noticed as their timing was done properly. However, they were all headed to only one place: the concert of T-41.

***
"Nice place." Hiei said sleepily as he stepped on the largest tree he was in and looked around.

It was strangely quiet. No one was outside as trees and so little cars surrounded it passed by. He remembered Sumiko mention how exited she was to see Mitohino, the band's lead singer but somehow, she lost the money.

Hiei held the money that he got from Sumiko. He was not planning to keep it but he hated it whenever Sumiko mentioned Mitohino's name.

"Mitohino is so cute!!!" Hiei said sarcastically as he repeated the words Sumiko said when she first heard of the band. "Stupid Mitohino." Hiei said as he took out the picture of Mitohino that Sumiko pasted in her room. "What does he have anyway that I don't?" he said as he looked at Mitohino's portrait. He quickly tore the paper.

He wanted to sleep at that time but he did not want to. He knew that the moment he slept, he would dream of Sumiko and Mitohino together. He did not know but those thoughts had drowsed him to sleep.

"What did Master Hanma said for us to do?" a human said as he wore a full armored shirt and the words U.R.U. were at the back in red. They were demons dressed as humans.

"To kidnap any intruder that passes by this place, bring them underground the stadium until we can eat all of them." another demon said as he kidnapped a young girl whose ball fell in that direction. The girl was only about twelve and was unconscious.

"I really hope that we could just eat any intruder that passes by here." the first demon said as he watched the second demon throw the young girl inside the trash can. It was an underground chute that would lead under the stadium where thousands of intruders were inside cells, waiting to be eaten.
"I tell you not to." the second demon said as he looked around. "There are seven streets heading to the stadium and if we mess this up, we are the ones who will end up on everyone's table." he said as he shuddered.

"You have a point." The second demon said, "I really do not want to end in the same place as Davioni and Zubire." he said as he remembered the two.

***
"Hm." Kurama said as he walked in the empty streets. "I wonder where Sumiko is?" he said as he looked at the houses whose lights were turned off as it was already 10:30 pm. Kurama wondered how the T-41 concert would look like. He headed to the direction of the concert place.

Kurama chuckled to himself as he remembered when Hiei showed him the money he stole from Sumiko. If he remembered right, Sumiko was earning it for three months only to be gone because of a very jealous person.

Kurama placed both his hands in his pockets as he walked to a shortcut in the stadium. He looked at the ground that seemed to have to have tank marks. Strange, he thought, why is it that there are tile marks here? he thought as he walked on. He heard a rustle from behind. Kurama walked on.

Then he stopped. "Whoever is following me, you can come out now." he said as he called for his rose whip. No answer. Kurama turned to his back when suddenly; someone threw a metal bottle in the middle. Blue smoke erupted from the ends of the bottle.

"What is-?" Kurama said as he looked at the blue smoke erupting and surrounding him. He smelled the smoke and slowly, he felt very dizzy and felt like the world was swirling. As he fainted, he thought he saw two demons in front of him. Impossible, he thought. before he slumped in a dead faint.

"Ow!" the demon said when he held Kurama's rose whip. "What is this thing?" he said as he threw the whip that turned to a rose when it hit the ground.

"Don't know and don't care." the second demon said as he carried Kurama in his shoulders and threw him down a garbage can that-is-really-a- path/chute-under the stadium. They heard as the red hair tumbled inside the garbage can and inside.

"Well, I hope that does it." the second demon said, "Plus, I really hope that Hanma has a wonderful feast ready for us."

The first demon nodded.

***
"I'm going to the comfort room!" Shizuru shouted over to Sumiko and the others. Sumiko and the others nodded.

"I'll go with you!" Sumiko shouted back. Then to Botan, Yukina, and Keiko, she said, "Don't leave here k?" The three nodded.

Shizuru and Sumiko squished their way through the crowd of people who were screaming and shouting. After an hour, they found the comfort room.

"I'm done!" Sumiko said as she left the cubicle. Shizuru nodded. "I'll just go outside k? I want to see Mitohino again." Shizuru nodded as Sumiko stayed outside the comfort room.

Shizuru was alone in the comfort room when she noticed something strange. There seemed to be something red on the sink beside her. Upon closer look, it seemed to be blood. Shizuru does not feel good about it and rubs her arms. She looked inside the cubicle and saw blood hidden in each of them.

She placed her head in her left hand as she leaned on the wall. "I think I will just wash my face." Shizuru said as she headed towards the faucet.

With her head in her left hand, she opened the faucet. "Aaah-mph!" she said as she closed her mouth to stop herself from screaming. She looked at the faucet which was dripping blood instead of water.

***
"Fool!" a demon wearing a gray helmet said as he hit the head of an orange-green demon. The orange-green demon fumbled at the pipes and the water was back to its original pipe.

"If Master Hanma finds out that you switched the pipe for the human blood and the water for upstairs, you will pay for this!" the demon with the helmet said as he hit the orange-demon in the head again.

***
Shizuru did not panick. Slowly, she watched as the blood turned to water a few moments later. Shaking, she used the water to clean the blood in the sink and in the other sinks. She slowly went outside where she found Sumiko cheering Mitohino.

"Hey Shizuru! Are you alright?" Sumiko said when she saw Shizuru shaking. She quickly ran to Shizuru and held her in her arms.

"What's wrong Shizuru?" she asked her. "What happened to you? Dizzy?"

Shizuru looked at Sumiko with pleading eyes. "S-Sumiko," she said as she slowly stood up, Sumiko supporting her, "I do not feel good about this concert. We have to find Yukina and the others."

***
Oh, where am I? Why does my head hurt? Kurama thought as he slowly stood up. Cells? Prison cells?

It was true. Kurama seemed to be in one of the millions of cells in what seemed to be an underground territory. There were fifteen people in each cell.

"Hey you!" Kurama said as he called to the two guards who were guarding their cell, "Where am I and what am I doing here?" he shouted to them.

The first guard (dressed as a human) smirked at Kurama. "You will see." he said before changing shifts with another guard. Kurama slumped to the ground. He thought the guards smelled like demons but it was impossible. There were people cheering above and Kurama was sure that he was under the stadium T-41 was performing.

***
"Shizuru, where are we going?" Keiko asked Shizuru who was pulling her. Sumiko, Botan, and Yukina were following behind.

"I don't know." Shizuru said as they walked the strangely empty corridors. "But I do not feel good about this concert. We have to leave as soon as possible." she said.

The others just looks at her totally confused.

***
Tanks were already lining up around the stadium as a great circular wall closes meters from the stadium adding the large parking lot in it. Hiei was in the tree and did not notice it.

Helicopters were zooming from above and anyone in the cars who saw those would just think they were news reporters and go back to sleep.

"What is making that noise?" Hiei said angry that he was awoken from his sleep. He looked like he was drunk but was not.

He looked behind him and saw a wall closing rectangular shaped. "Eh?" Hiei said as he looked at it.

The noise had a certain rhythm to it that he fell from the tree, near to clear view from the guards who were patrolling the area.

"I think I just heard something." a guard said as he looked at the direction of the large tree that Hiei was sleeping until he fell to the ground, covered in the bushes.

"Let's look." The guard said as they walked closer and closer. They caught sight of fiery red eyes. They quickly drew their guns...

...and a wild cat jumped in the bushes and scratched them. (do you always notice that a stray animal usually saves the character from being caught?)

Hiei sighed as the guards walked away from him. He felt strangely sleepy and he really wanted to sleep, considering the fact he has not yet slept in seven days or was that physically fit.

***
"Lookie! A guard!" Sumiko said. Botan pulled her behind a garbage can.

"What is your point?" Botan hissed, "We could get caught!" she said.

"And I still do not understand why we are hiding from all of these security guards when their main job is to protect us." Sumiko said as she emerged from the garbage can. She sniffed in the air. "Nope, no security cameras." she said as she used some of her spiritual energy.

"Good." Botan said. "I also do not know why we keep evading these guards but I trust Shizuru. Still, I do not yet understand why on earth do we have to be separated with Shizuru and Yukina!"

"Yeah, I know what you mean." Sumiko said as she placed her hand in her forehead.

"What's wrong?" Botan asked.

"N-nothing." Sumiko answered, "I felt this five months ago but do not worry! It went out in a couple of hours."

Botan looked thoughtfully at Sumiko. "You know what, if Hiei was here, he would make sure that you were safely cuddled up and free from pain." Botan teased.

"Will you quit it Botan!" Sumiko said as she blushed. "Anyway, Hiei and I are just friends."

"Just friends?"

"Botan!"

"No really, just friends?"

"He still misses Tena and I am just the person that he leans to cry on. Just like everybody else." Sumiko said, "No! Usually the guys, seldom the girls."

"Jealous of Tena?" Botan teased as she nudged Sumiko, nearly causing her to fall in the direction a security camera.

"Am not!" Sumiko defended.

"Do you know that if people get all defensive, they like that person?" Botan chirped. "It is kind of sweet though. I mean, Tena is there and well, dead, and he still can't forget about her! Plus, you get all jealous!"

"I do not!"

"Whatever Sumiko. All I know is that you and Hiei are really great friends." Botan said absentmindedly. "Hey isn't that Hiei?" she said as she pointed to a black figure talking to two people. "Hey aren't those two people Shizuru and Yukina?"

They all walked outside the stadium, where Hiei and Shizuru were shouting at each other. "What's up?" Sumiko asked. Then she looked at Hiei. "Um, Hiei, are you alright?"

Hiei looked at them. "Why do you think I would NOT be alright?" he said, "I'm fine! Fine! FINE!" Hiei shouted very loud. He looked drunk, or rather like a person who was very cranky and drunk-like because of lack of sleep.

"Hiei! Calm down!" Shizuru said as she forced Hiei to calm down. They could hear the guards coming. They tried pulling Hiei behind the bushes but he won't stop shouting. They had no choice but to leave him outside, in plain sight of the coming guards. They were learning to be soldiers.

Hiei fell asleep as the cool breeze blew on him and he slumped to the ground. Keiko and the girls were very fearful for Hiei as Sumiko transformed.

"Hey! There's someone there!" Five guards shouted. They quickly ran to where Hiei was.

"A kid?" came the guards voice. "Never, mind, carry him now and bring him to the nearest garbage can entrance." he said.

"Yes sir, now wha-AAAAAARRRRGGGGG!!!!!!"

Sumiko and the other girls peeped from the bushes. They seemed to have touched Hiei's band and burned away. It seemed like he Jagan was very irritated that it was awaked from its sleep.

More guards came. "We have to go." Shizuru whispered to the girls.

"What about Hiei?" Botan and Keiko said simultaneously.

"Hiei can handle himself." Sumiko said as they had no choice but to run back to the stadium. She looked one longing look at Hiei before following Shizuru and the others.
