CHAPTER 5
Yusuke took a deep breath to calm his nerves. He desperately hoped he wouldn't be killed....again. Keiko would be so mad if she knew we were going on a typical suicidal mission. Yusuke glanced at the other members of their strange group. Kuwabara seemed kind of upset he couldn't yell 'YUKINA' charging in. He allowed himself a small smirk. For once Hiei and Kuwabara won't be getting on each other's nerves. He looked to Faolain and she seemed to be readying herself mentally too. "We're ready. So let's go." They all nodded and started off in the direction the three demons had appeared out of the surrounding area, hoping to find something, anything.
Hiei scanned the area with his Jagan to find where the youkai had come from. He saw the trampled area where they had walked, not delicately, he noted. He pointed to Kurama who then notified the whole group. Hiei walked in front, then Kurama, Kuwabara, Yusuke, and last Faolain. When they came to the area where the tracks stopped abruptly, they knew they had come to the portals. One of the portals led to the Makai and the other into the barren wasteland that Kal'hauni ruled over. Which one should we go through? came the telepathic response. Hiei responded The one on the right leads to the Makai, and the one on the left leads to Kal'hauni. Hiei saw her nod out of the corner of his eye. Maybe I could get some treasure out of this......
Kurama, or rather Yoko, glanced through the portal leading to Kal'hauni. Who will go first? he asked the group telepathically. Yusuke and Kuwabara exchanged uneasy glances. Hiei shrugged. Faolain remained unreadable. Whoever wants to go first can go first. One more thing, he can read minds, so if you see a face of a loved one, attack it because it is not a loved one, rather and illusion over a minion. came from Faolain. They all nodded to show they understood. I guess I will go first. Yoko volunteered. They all seemed a little shocked he had volunteered to go first. They all turned to the portal. Yoko took a deep breath and stepped through......to a barren wasteland. He turned back and motioned for the others to come through. Hiei, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Faolain all came through.
Yoko tried to say something, but no sound came out at all. The others looked at him curiously. Then they saw Faolain had moved off to the side. She was motioning for them to come over, and she had a slight frown on her face. They trotted over to her and she proceeded to tell them to fan out telepathically. Hiei and Yoko went to her right, and Kuwabara and Yusuke went to her left. They fanned out so there was at least 20 feet in between each. On Faolain's command they all started in the direction away from the portal. Why can't they seem to form a simple battle strategy? Wait, what am I doing complaining about battle strategies? I never had much use for them in my life. Faolain thought and almost laughed. Then suddenly, she saw a movement. Look on the horizon. Tell me what you all see. I don't see nothin' came from Kuwabara. What shit do you see up there, 'cause I don't see jack. was Yusuke's reply. I do not see anything on the horizon, so maybe it is just your eyes tricking you.came the response from Yoko. You see the zombies that are moving up to try and block us? came Hiei's reply. The Jagan had sensed them, so Hiei knew something was up there. Thank Enma one of them used their powers. Faolain shrugged. At least they had time to get ready. Five steps, four steps, three steps, two, one and the horde came on. Faolain didn't even think. All her focus was on the monsters. Right, left, right, left went her hands, alternating chops. Finally she pulled out her scimitars. Up, behind, side to side, down, up, up, down, side, side, weaving an intricate dance that the mindless creatures couldn't understand. Arms, legs, heads, body parts went flying everywhere. She heard a mental scream to her left. She glanced over and saw Kuwabara sprawled on the ground and a green haired, red eyed girl wearing a kimono getting ready to take the final blow. AHHHH YUKINA, DON"T!! It's me, your kazuma. Pleasepleasepleaseplease........ Faolain rolled her eyes and flipped one of her scimitars straight into the zombie's chest. Now, what did I tell you about him using your weaknesses against you. Get up and throw my scimitar back to me and do not bother stopping to look at their faces. It will only cost you.
Hiei on the other hand, was faring much better than Kuwabara. Hiei's Jagan blocked Kal'hauni from using anything on his mind against him. Hiei looked over and saw Faolain form ice crystals on her hand and shoot a line of fire from her other. Hiei didn't have time to be puzzled, because another group of zombies came at him, spurred on by their master. Hiei used his speed, his sword, and the Jagan to stay one step ahead of the monstrous horde. Hiei soon finished with his monsters, and turned, only to find Kurama backing away from a zombie recognizing Kurone. Hiei rushed over to help, and quickly dispatched the monster before any harm could be done. Working together as a team, they got to the rest of the monsters surrounding Yusuke and Kuwabara. Faolain seemed to be doing just fine, until the ground collapsed beneath her. They stood horrified at what happened, none of them able to move. Finally, Kuwabara walked over to the ground, where everyone followed and stood still.
Yoko just looked at the ground. It seemed impossible that she could have been gone, just like that. He turned to the others, when a faint call came through. Don't worry................be fine.......go.....castle...free...others. Help....other souls....kill Kal'hauni....GO He looked back to the ground, and then looked at the others. They all seemed to have heard the message. They started once again toward the castle, being watched from beasts and youkais in the sky, above their heads. Yoko stopped. He looked around, ears twitching, nose twitching, all the while keeping his gaze on the sky, ignoring the looks from the others. Suddenly he heard a noise. He paused, confused. I thought noises were supposed to be gone. This time, he saw the circling demons. He peered closer. These weren't demons, but...DRAGONS. "RUN!!!!!!" he screamed. "Whatever you do, don't look back. Run hard, dig deep, go for shelter!!!" Just then, he heard a giant intake of breath. "HIT THE GROUND!!!" came the call from Hiei, who had made it to the castle already. They all did, letting the fire soar harmlessly above their heads, melting the ground.
