Chapter 19
Murdered Allies
Yusuke, Kuwbara, Hiei, and Kittara quietly walked through the dark bare spirit world. The places that once were forests, rivers and sanctuaries were now dead and silent. "Even the sight of this sends shivers up my spine," Hiei confessed, pulling Kittara closer to him. "Well, what do you know...little shrimp Hiei is scared of a dead place," Yusuke said under his breath, winced as Kittara punched him in the back. "NEVER INSULT MY HIEI, GOT IT MORON?" she shot at him and Yusuke actually was scared, turning around and examining the spirit world. 'It really is different since last time...but we have to be careful, there could be illusions anywhere,' he told himself, stopping as they approached the entrance where Koenma's office used to be and they looked at each other. "How do we know where to go in there?" Kuwbara asked and they couldn't answer him. Yusuke tried contacting her, but something was blocking his mind from talking to her. But a soft whisper made them turn around, 'Follow the strange looking torches, don't listen to the screams or look at the ceiling,' Sapphire's barely visible ghost said and faded with a scream. "I wonder what she meant by that," Yusuke wondered and turned to his companions, seeing them confused as much as him. "Well...let's go already, we did promise her you know!" Kittara finally spoke impatiently, walking ahead of them. Kuwbara and Yusuke turned to Hiei and he just shrugged and followed her. They all charged their energy and weapons, Hiei turned to demon form. Without a word, they traveled into the threatening darkness that welcomed them...and would enjoy killing them.
Small dripping sounds and loud moaning surrounded the large, dark halls as Yusuke and the other three followed Kittara down the dark maze. "Where do you think that dripping and moaning is coming from?" Kuwbara asked out loud and Hiei shook his head, amazed at how blind Kuwbara was. "The souls of the spirits are wondering, crying out for help. They're all trapped in an eternal nightmare that only the vampires can undo," he explained, glancing at one of the torches that held blood red flames. 'They even used the dead soul's blood for lighting,' Yusuke said in his mind and shoved the horrific images of their death from his head. The moaning got louder and louder until the sound bounced off the walls and banged on their eardrums. The torches were going out by a strange, unwelcoming wind and they all shivered. "They're trying to call out to us; they know we can help them. But we must focus on our promise first!" Kittara yelled over the growing wind. They all took a step away in disgust as the scent of rotting bodies and spilt blood filled their nostrils. "We're here now," Yusuke told them and he entered the office, using his energy for a small light. But nothing came out of his finger and he softly cursed. At first, they heard the sound of footsteps, and then they faded once they turned around. "THEY'RE HERE!" Hiei called to the others and pulled his sword out, swinging at the vampire hidden in the shadows right behind them. Kittara found the second vampire and started beating his ass by flying on his shoulders and started delivering deadly blows to the vampire's head. The minion screamed, coughed up a thin stream of blood then fell over dead but Kittara screamed at what she saw. They all stopped to see who the two dead vampires. "Oh my god, the two are Koenma and Genkai!" Kuwbara screamed and looked around for the other three enemies...but they didn't appear luckily. "We just killed our own possessed allies," Yusuke whispered, but jumped back when Koenma opened his eyes and looked up at them. "Yusuke...I knew you'd be on the case," he said, smiling weakly. "Keep walking for about another, then take the rights of the two paths...go now!" He fell dead, the remaining blood left in him bubbling out of his mouth and head. Kuwbara released his spirit sword and looked ahead, noticing they weren't far from their destination. "Come on Kittara, let's go kick some vampires ass," Hiei whispered and she smiled instantly, wiping the tears away and ran ahead. "Killing has really messed her up alright," Kuwbara said aloud and Hiei smiled with a weird expression in his eyes. "That's why I love her you idiot," he said coldly, then walked on. Yusuke laughed at Kuwbara's face, then got serious and they continued again.
"They've managed to free Koenma and he told them where to go...and they are heading this way," the fifth minion told the leader's wife and the woman hissed, swiping her claws at the minion and slurped up his thick toxic blood then licked her lips. "I don't even care if they are standing in front of me, I'll find a way to let them know they can't win against the Illusionary Angel!" she told the last two vampires and smirked when she turned to face them. 'I'll give them a little power boost,' she told herself and grabbed them by the neck. They just smiled as surging, bloodthirsty power juiced up their empty veins. Their lust for blood had badly increased and they hissed in hunger. "GO NOW, SAVOR THEIR BLOOD AS LONG AS YOU WANT!" she ordered and they left without a remark, she sat back down on her long, bloody thrown. It once belonged to Koenma's father, but his body had already been feasted on and the blood inside her veins, pulsing violently. "Get ready for some fun you rats, this is the final time I spare your lives," she said to no one, watching in her mind as they got closer and closer to the two paths. "No matter what way you take, each one will have your body and blood to enjoy." She laughed her smile icy and evil. 'Soon Kurama...you will be mine and that angel will have her grave for comfort. You belong to me; no one else will have you.' Her mind turned over to see how the visions were killing Sapphire and Kurama and she hissed in disappointment. The angel had created a shield and the visions were failing fast but she just smirked again. 'I'll have a little fun telling her how much I can hurt and break her,' she thought and her eyes turned glassy white. She heard Kurama scream and struggle and tried to control himself, and Sapphire tried to help him. 'You can't help him this time, this time he's mine!' the woman yelled and she smiled softly as she heard Kurama's heartbeat start to fail and give in to her illusion. 'That's it Kurama, do it to save her.' Her lied had worked and Kurama turned and the horror began.
