Chapter 54
Taken
A demon screamed in pain as it was sliced in half. Four more soon joined it. "Surround him. Surround him and attack" one of them said. All those that charged were soon in pieces. "Retreat!!!" another yelled. They all started bolting to the surrounding forest.
"Cowards" Muraku said as he sheathed his sword. He walked over to the tree Kairi was leaning against. She was clutching he leg. "What's with you?" he asked. "I think I sprained my ankle" she replied. Muraku examined it. "It's a bit swollen but nothing to serious. Now come on, we're waisting time here" he said. With his help Kairi got to her feet and hopped on his back.
She had grown on him so he now carried her on his back instead of slinging her over his shoulder. Just as she promised plenty of demons came to try and capture her. Most were slain by Muraku.
Muraku hadn't changed much. He still had his bad boy attitude and always complained about how slow Kairi was. They often got into arguments, which usual led to Muraku getting snapped.
"So where're we heading" Kairi asked. "I smell a town nearby" Muraku replied. Kairi sighed and rested her head on his back. His coat had the scent of sweat, blood, and forest covering it. She felt her eyes getting heavy. They'd be up most of the night after an ambush so she didn't get any sleep. Muraku was running so smoothly she soon fell asleep.
Muraku felt her loosen her grip on him. Asleep again? And I thought she couldn't get anymore useless. The only thing she's good at is cooking and pissing me off he thought. He felt a twinge of guilt after thinking that. What's with me? I'm getting to soft.
After an hour of running he came upon a small town. He unceremoniously dropped Kairi on her but. "Hey!!!" she said angrily. "I didn't want to waist time waking you. You sleep like a log" he replied as he turned and started to walk to the town. *snap* Muraku said hello to the ground.
"You'll never learn" she said as she started to walk passed him. He growled and got to his feet. When he did he saw Kairi fall to her knee clutching her ankle. "I told you it was sprained" he said. She glared at him and used a rag from her kimono to wrap her wound.
"Alright let's get going" she cheerfully said as she got to her feet. She carefully started walking again. Muraku sighed and followed. One minute she's a complete bitch and the next she's as happy as can be. I'll never understand her he thought.
They walked into the town and looked around. "We need food and plenty of bug spray" she said as she looked around. "Got any ideas?" she asked him. No reply. "Muraku" she said looking to where he was standing. She instead saw him walking away. "Wait up" she said as she ran as fast as her ankle would let her.
"I told you I'm not slowing down for you" he said not looking at her. Kairi walked behind him. "Where are we going?" she asked. "I've been here before so I know where the grocery store is" he replied. He left out the fact that the last time he came here he destroyed half the place.
Kairi was about to asked why he was here when someone clamped a hand over her mouth and dragged her into an alley. She tried to scream but no sound came out. She was then thrown against the wall and the pinned by her shoulders. Standing in front of her was a pretty ugly guy who by the smell of his breath was drunk.
"Let go of me" she said as she struggled. "Not until I have a little fun with ya" he said drunkenly. Kairi slapped him and tried to make a break for it. He grabbed her hair and pulled her back. "I like em feisty" he said.
Muraku hadn't noticed what had happened to her but he was getting suspicious. Since when was she so quiet for so long? He asked himself. "What's with the quiet act?" he said as he turned around only to find no Kairi. "Where is she?" he said as he tried to pick up her scent. He finally found it but narrowed his eyes when he also smelled a man and alcohol mixed with it. He growled and ran toward it.
Kairi was doing her best to fight off the guy but half her kimono was off. "Bitch" he growled after she scratched his face. He lifted his fist to punch her but went crashing into a trashcan. Kairi gasped and look at her savior. It wasn't Muraku but a boy around 5 feet 9 in height. He had sleek neck length blond hair and light blue eyes. He was dressed in a blue school uniform.
"You'll pay" the drunk said. "That's no way to treat a lady. Now I suggest leave" the blond said. The drunk pulled o t a knife and charged. The blond dodged the thrust and kicked the drunk's face. The drunk stumbled back and charged again. The blond dodged again but the drunk swung and slashed his arm. The blond stumbled back clutching his arm. "Die pretty boy "the drunk said as he readied to charge. He was stopped when Kairi slammed a trashcan on his head and knocked him out.
She rushed to the blond and kneeled next to him. "You okay?" she asked. "Yes the wound's not to deep" the blond replied. "Let me see it" she said. He allowed her to examine the wound. She ripped off part of her kimono and used it to bandage the cut. "Thank you for helping me" she said. "No need. You knocked him out before he could finish me so I guess we could call it even" he said as he stood up.
At that moment Muraku arrived. He growled and pinned the blond against the wall. "What did you do to her?" he growled. The blond was to busy struggling to get loose to reply. "Answer me" Muraku growled as he raised his fist. He was stopped when Kairi grabbed his arm. "Kairi, what are you doing?" he asked. "This guy saved me. That's the one that tried to rap me" she said pointing to the unconscious drunk.
Muraku put the blond down and turned to her. "He saved you" he asked. She nodded. "Let's go, stay close" Muraku said as he started to walk off. She tugged on his sleeve to stop him. "What is it?" he asked annoyed.
"We need to help this guy. He's wounded" she said. "Not my problem" he replied. "I'm not leaving him till I know he's okay. I owe him that much" she replied crossing her arms.
Muraku growled and leaned against the wall. "Very well but this better not take to long" he said. Kairi sighed and went back to the blond. "Sorry about him" she said. The blond laughed sheepishly as he dusted himself off. "I never got your name" she said. "It's Yugo" he replied. "My names Kairi and he's Muraku" she replied. Yugo looked at Muraku who glared back. "Is he always that mean looking" he asked. "He just tries to look tough. He's a real softy once you get to know him" Kairi said. Muraku growled.
"We should get that wound cleaned up and properly bandaged" Kairi said. "We could go to my house" Yugo suggested. "Hell no" Muraku said. "Good idea" Kairi said giving Muraku her 'shut up or I'll snap you' look. "Alright then follow me" Yugo said as he walked off. Kairi and Muraku followed.
As they walked through the town Yugo and Kairi happily talked about different things while Muraku glared daggers at Yugo. After walked for about fifteen minutes the three stopped in front of a couple of huge gates outside of town. Yugo clicked a remote in his pocket and they opened.
They walked down the driveway. Kairi gasped when they stopped in front of a huge mansion. "Is this where you live?" she asked him. "Of coarse. Why else would I bring you here?" he joked. "Your family must be rich" she said. Yugo chuckled and walked to the door. He unlocked it and opened it. "Ladies first" he said politely. Kairi blushed and walked in. Yugo waited at the door for Muraku. "Like you said, ladies first" Muraku said. Yugo sighed and walked in. Muraku soon followed.
The mansion had a marble floor and white walls covered with paintings of many different things. "Make your selves at home" Yugo said as he walked off. Kairi walked off toward what she thought was the living room. Muraku stayed behind. He was looking around and taking in the scents of the house. Why do I fell as if I've been here before? he thought. He then realized Kairi had left and went to find her. He was not about to let her out of his sight with Yugo around.
He found her sitting on a couch with Yugo wrapping his wound in bandages. He was now in a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt. "Thanks, it feels a lot better now" he said. "Your welcome" she replied. Muraku leaned against the wall. "You look pretty dirty. There's a bathroom down the hall if you want to wash up" Yugo said. "A bath sounds nice" she said getting up and heading down the hall he motioned to.
She was soon relaxing in a nice hot bath. "It's been so long since I've enjoyed a real bath" she thought. She usually had to bathe in cold ponds. That Yugo guy is pretty nice and a little on the cute side, though not as much as Muraku. Wait what am I thinking. Muraku's just a stubborn jerk whose only helping me so he can kill. Is that all I am to him? A tool for him to fulfill his bloodlust she thought as tears started to fall from her eyes.
Outside the door Muraku leaned against the wall next to it. He was going to make sure Yugo didn't try anything. He jerked his head up when he picked up the smell of tears followed by Kairi's sobs. Why is she crying? he thought. He heard footsteps and glared at Yugo as he walked up. "Oh hello Muraku. What are you doing here?" he asked. "None of your business" Muraku replied coldly.
"I'm just trying to be friendly" Yugo said. "Get out of my sights" Muraku said. "I don't see how someone like Kairi can travel with someone like you. Your just plan bad" Yugo said. "Thanks for the compliment" Muraku said smirking. "And would you please put away that sword? Don't you know that's illegal." Yugo said. Muraku was getting annoyed by him. "Leave me alone" he growled. "I don't think Kairi's safe with a man like you. You to dangerous" Yugo said.
That did it. How dare he think I'd hurt Kairi he thought as he lunged at the human. He grabbed him by the neck and pinned him to the wall. "You should watch your tongue" he growled as he tightened his hold.
Kairi walked out wrapped in a towel. Her eyes widened in horror when she saw what Muraku was doing. "Muraku, put him down" she said. He didn't reply and growled. Yugo's face was starting to turn blue.
She was about to snap him when Muraku screamed in pain and let go of him. He stumbled back clutching the area over his heart. Kairi watched as he screamed again and fell to his knees. She forgot what he had done and rushed to him as he fell on his side.
Muraku screamed again as another serge of pain went through his body. Muraku knew it was his restriction that was hurting him. Damn you Koenma he thought. "Muraku, what's wrong? Speak to me" Kairi cried. The pain finally subsided and Muraku slowly got to his feet. "Are you alright?" she asked as she placed her hand on his shoulder. "Just leave me alone" he snapped causing her to take a step back. He stumbled into the bathroom and slammed the door behind him.
He leaned against the door and slid down it. I should have known that would happen he thought. He remained there for the next few hours. Finally he stood up and went to look for Kairi.
By then Kairi was sitting on the front porch. She kept thinking about what had happened to him. What happened to Muraku? I've never seen him in such pain. Muraku, just tell me what's wrong. I want to help you she thought.
She gasped when she felt a hand on her shoulder. "It's just me" Muraku said. She relaxed and looked at him. He looked back at her with his blue eye. She'd always wished he still had both. It was the most beautiful eye she'd seen. What bothered her was that so much pain and anger was behind it. "I'm sorry I did that to him" he said gently. She sighed and placed her hand on his. "I'm more worried about you. What happened?" she asked. He turned around and walked back into the house. It was clear to her he didn't want to talk about it.
She stayed there until Yugo walked out. "Oh there you are" he said. "What is it Yugo?" she asked. "There's something I want to show you" he said. Kairi thought about it for a moment. Well he did save me. I'm sure he won't try anything she thought. "Alright led the way" she said .He smiled and led her into the forest.
Muraku walked through the halls of the mansion alone. He was angry with himself for letting Kairi see him liked that, so weak and pathetic. She probably doesn't want me around anymore. Who would want a weakling for a protector he thought angrily. He slammed his fist on a table causing a vase to wobble and crash to the ground.
He glanced at it and was about to walk of when something caught his eye. He looked more carefully and saw a piece of paper in the shattered pieces. He reached into the pile and pulled the paper out. He gasped when he saw what it was. "An illusion talisman" he said. He knew something wasn't right and ripped it in two. The house around him melted away. It turned into some decayed ruins. "Wait I remember this place" Muraku said.
When he was evil he had attacked the town and destroyed half of it. He'd then attacked a mansion and killed the owners. After spending the night he blew the place up.
"It's all been a trick. Then that means…*gasp* Kairi " he said. He ran into the woods to find her.
Kairi and Yugo had been walking for a few minutes and stopped in a clearing. It was night so Kairi was a little nervous. "What'd you bring me out here for?" she asked. "So your finally here" a voice said from the shadows. Kairi looked toward the source and saw the drunk that attacked her earlier that day.
"Not you again" she said as she tried to make a break for it. She was stopped when Yugo grabbed her arm. "Yugo what are you doing?" she asked. "You've fallen into out trap. We work for Lord Seiga" Kairi's eyes widened. Seiga was the demon that was after her. "It was all a setup. My brother, Seta was acting as a drunk so I could save you and gain your trust. Now let's go" Yugo said as he slung her over his shoulder and started to run at an incredible speed for a human. "MURAKU!!!!" she yelled.
Muraku looked to where he heard her scream. "Hold on Kairi" he said as he ran at top speed to the source. He came to a clearing and saw her being taken away by Yugo and Seta. "Let her go!!!" he roared as he charged.
He stopped when he sensed something behind him. He looked behind him and saw a shadow rise from the ground. It shifted into a sword and charged him he dodged each swing but when he hit it his fist would go right through. The sword backed of and turned into something that looked like a large cat. It attack and slashed him with its claws. "I'm waisting time" Muraku said. He gathered energy in his hand and thrust it forward. A bright light surrounded his hand and destroyed the shadow.
Muraku looked around only to find that Kairi was long gone. There was a time when he would just have to wind morph to catch up but since separating from Riku he'd lost his ability to use his good side's techniques. The only reason he could use Triple Impact was because he made it himself. He howled and slammed his fist into the ground leaving a large crater. "I swear if they so much as harm a hair on her they'll be hell to pay" he growled. He stood up and picked up her scent. Hold on Kairi, I'm coming.
Somewhere in Japan
Yugo and Seta stopped in front of a huge palace on a mountain. "The lord should reward us handsomely for the girl" Yugo said. Seta grinned. "Put me down" Kairi said as she struggled to get free. "Be patient bitch. You'll be put down soon" Yugo said as the gates opened.
They walked in and approached the main building. "We have to girl" Yugo said to the guard. The guard nodded and opened the door. They walked in.
They stopped in a large throne room. Sitting on the thrown was a man who looked to be in his mid-thirties. He had gray hair that went to his waist, blue eyes, and claws. Attached to his back were two black angel wings. He wore a gold crown with a red ruby on the front, black armor, and gauntlets. At his side was a bow. He was a fallen angel. Fallen angels are angels cast down from heaven for treason. They lose their immortality.
"As you requested. We've captured the priestess Kairi, Lord Seiga" Yugo said. Seiga smirked and stood up. He walked to Kairi and used his finger to make her look at him. "You've evaded me long enough Kairi. Tomorrow you will perform the ritual and I'll once again be immortal" Seiga said. "Go to hell" Kairi growled. He slapped her across the face. "Guards, take her away" he said. Two guards grabbed her by the arms and pulled her away.
"You two have done well and now for your reward. Cetesis" he said. "Yes my lord" a girl said as she walked out of the shadows. She was 5 feet 8 in height with dark green hair that went past her waist, violet eyes, and dressed in sorceress robes. "Give these two their reward" Seiga said.
"Follow me" Cetesis said. Yugo and Seta followed her to another room. She stopped when they entered. "So where's our reward?" Yugo asked. Cetesis turned around and smirked. "Right behind you" she said. The two turned around. "SHADOW OF ILLUSIONS" she called. Two shadows rose from the ground and attacked. They slice Yugo and Seta to pieces. Cetesis chuckled before walking out.
"I've taken care of them" she said. "Good now have one of our messengers inform Koenma of our demands" Seiga said. Cetesis bowed and walked away.
The next day at Genkai's temple
Everyone looked to the door as Botan came rushing in. "What's up?" Yusuke asked. "Koenma has a mission for you all" she sad as she pushed the tape into the VCR.
Koenma soon appeared on the screen. "I hope you enjoyed your small break cause we've got big trouble. *a picture of Seiga appeared on the screen* This is Seiga, he's a fallen angel and this *a picture of Kairi appears* is the priestess Kairi. She knows an incantation that grants immortality. Seiga plans to use her to become immortal and take over all of Japan. Your mission is to rescue her before they can perform the ritual. It can only be done during a full moon so you have until tonight. Good luck" Koenma said before disappearing.
"That Kairi girl's pretty cute" Yusuke said. Keiko slapped him. "He'll never learn" Riku said as he strapped the Crescent Edge on. He kissed Yukina goodbye and headed outside. The others followed. "Let's go kick some fallen angel ass" Kuwabara said. "Will you shut up you worthless human" Hiei said. This resulted in an exchange of insults. "We should be cautious. Fallen angels are very powerful. We'd better be ready for some surprises" Kurama said. "I'm sure the surprises won't be to big" Riku said.
