Under Light of Four Stars

Disclaimer: Do I look like I own Yu Yu Hakusho? Though I do own a lot of the other characters I use in this story like Aquaris, Rosewood, Kitsume in this chapter Mesu (Kitsume is also in this one) when more characters come into the plot I will add them up here. Ixi out.

Chapter 6. A Prophecy and the Journey to the Strange World

Hiei's eyes widened when he heard what Kitsume said. He braced an arm down on a nearby chair and sat down. The words echoed in his head, thank Kami (God) Kitsume was speaking the language nobody there would understand but him. The group shifted uncomfortably around wanting to know what was being said but not wanting to pry. Hiei's whole body was slightly trembling with shock but enough to be seen. "Thanks Kitsume for telling me." Hiei said with a slight break in his voice. Kitsume nodded and said with a comforting voice "I got to go, I have got to check on Dai--- She cut off before finishing, she clutched her head and fell to one knee as if suffering from a painful headache. Her eyes closed in pain and several small items began moving telekinetically (Telekinesis-the power to move things with your mind. If you didn't already know then too bad.). Hiei knelt down near Kitsume and helped her stand "Damn whoever gave me that stupid power. I swear one day they will burn." "Kitsume what did you see?" "Uh, lets see, there was this ancient looking temple, and these cloaked dudes chanting some strange language I've never heard. There was 3 maybe 4 of them; it was kinda hard to tell from my point of view. I could understand bits and pieces of what they were saying like Phoenix of Fire, a Dragon of Water, Unicorn of Earth, and err, a Gryphon of Air maybe. I'm basing this on other root languages so if it's incorrect don't sue me. The hooded people went ranting on about evil incarnate goddess person called Aris who is trying the whole take over our world thing, uh a little bit 'bout necklaces and spirits going to the beast wielders. Then there was something about signs for the wielders to look for, uh an instant change of season, red sky in the middle of the day, and uh, couldn't catch the last one, something about a cat thingy. It seemed old, or prophesied along time ago, 'cause it was really crummy in clearness, a lot of the parts would fuzz out and that stuff." "Okay question then, why did you just see it now if it's so old?" "You are asking me this why? I am just the messenger not the authority." "Okay fine, but what does it have to do with you?" "Again, why are you asking me? And could you stop talking, my head feels like a thousand tons of bricks was just set on it." "Fine, Yusuke do you have any aspirin or pain killers?" "Probably, I'll go and get some."
Kitsume sat down in Hiei's seat preventing him from sitting down again (Haha ^_^). Kuwabara who had been hit by one of the items Kitsume had moved was out cold, eyes spinning (@o@ HAHAHAHA). Kurama had disappeared into the house shortly after Yusuke went in to get the aspirin. Everybody was starting to wonder about him; he was acting strange for his usual personality. "Mommy I don't want to go to school today, I want to stay home and bake cookies." Kuwabara muttered still knocked out. Half the group rolled their eyes.
Yusuke returned shortly with the aspirin, and Kitsume was about to take it when something flew out behind her. The blue and white blur darted out again but got tripped when Kitsume put out her leg and tripped it while taking a drink of water and the aspirin. It slid forward and upon slowing down it was easy to see it was a blue and white dog about the size of small lab. Kitsume rolled her eyes, pulling the dog to it's feet by it's collar "Mesu, you're such a klutz." "So are you, Miss Iris Sword of Light." "Ch! Point?" "Point? You're a bigger klutz than I, we could have had that burglary in the bag but nooooo, you had to forget to reroute the security." "Actually, that would be your fault. You're the one who is suppose to double check all aspects of the plan before hand, and you failed to double check the communication devices. So there!" The dog got a look of when you are trying to add things in your head over and over after the numbers were just whizzed by you and you are using your fingers and toes. "Point taken, but it's still your fault." "How is it my fault?" "You have a dog in charge of double checking your plan." "Oh yeah, I guess a monkey would do better, they have hands." Mesu got an annoyed look on his face realizing he had set himself up for that one, but seemed to shrug it off.
(Kuwabara was still muttering strange things that would be pointless to write 'cause I would just spend more time explaining them, so okay.) So nobody noticed when he got up eyes blank. They did however notice when he made an attempt to punch Hiei. Hiei quickly dodged but was unprepared when taking off so he landed funny on his one leg and his ankle twisted as it bent. Barely enough time was given for Hiei to recover before Kuwabara lunged towards him again. The others ran forward in an attempt to stop him but some strange energy held them where they stood. Hiei dodged a third assault by jumping into a tree but the previous missed landing caused him to slide a little on the branch. He recovered without falling but twisted his ankle even more. He winced in pain and Kuwabara took the opportunity to jump up and knock Hiei out of the tree. Hiei crashed to the ground unable to move. Kuwabara had summoned his Spirit Sword and was about to slash Hiei through the stomach but a strange mystical blue energy appeared between Hiei and Kuwabara acting as a barrier. Kuwabara was thrown aside and the blue energy wove around Hiei so he glowed bluish. Hiei looked at one of his glowing hands as the energy slowly began to vanish. A surprised yell came from behind him and he saw Yusuke glowing red, Kuwabara had begun glowing white and Kurama ran out the door of the house glowing green. Nobody could say anything that would even come close to explaining it but everyone just stared in wonder as the colored energies slowly vanished.
Kuwabara slowly sat up rubbing his head in pain "Whoa, what happened? Why do I feel like my head is spinning millions of miles a second?" "You mean, you don't remember attacking me?" "No. Why would I attack one of my friends? Well, sort of friendly acquaintance more or less. Wait did I?" "Yes Baka you did attack me and I want to know why before I slice off your head." "Uh?" Kuwabara tried to think hard (oooo scary O.O) about the most recent things he remembered doing. He shrugged still confused "last thing I remember is getting hit on the head with the rock that came flying towards me." Everyone exchanged glances still confused. Hiei was about to say something when he heard something move in a tree across the clearing. He slowly got to his feet wincing in pain from his right leg. He took a step forward and practically collapsed on his leg. A sinister laugh rang out from the tree and a strange cat-like creature flew out. It had a mocking smile on its face. They freakish creature looked like a cross between a bat and a black and red cat. It laughed again before disappearing in a puff of blood red smoke.
Before anyone could comment a fierce wind blew almost knocking the group down. From the direction it came from so did a strange band of green light. It moved as a wave does on a beach but behind it was not water or even winter settings, but spring. Before they knew it they were surrounded by spring and all traces of winter had vanished. But before they had time to adjust, the wind changed direction and the same thing happened as before but with red light and a more summery climate. Then it changed again with blue light this time, and to fall settings. But it still wasn't done; white light appeared in the same change of wind direction and season, this time it was back to winter. "Okay, was that for real or was it my over active imagination?" Yusuke asked being the first to find their voice again. "Well, if it was your imagination then mine is just as active." Kurama put in. "Yeah I saw it too." Ventured Kuwabara still confused about the accusation of him trying to kill Hiei. "Uh Kitsume," Hiei asked turning slightly on his injured foot, "You did say something about instant change of seasons and the cat thing, did you not?" Kitsume just stared amazed by the sudden prophecy and it's coming true. Yusuke was about to comment but a crack of thunder silenced his words. The sky began darkening with ominous black clouds, or were they black? As they spread out they seemed more red then anything. Black lightning lit up the skies and the loud crack of thunder rang out again.
Before the group could get inside, lightning touched down right in the middle of where everyone was standing. It came to the ground but it didn't go into it, instead it spread out like a spider's web enveloping everyone in the area. From it ribbons of fire, water, earth, and air appeared twisting their way and surrounding individual people. Hiei, Kurama, Yusuke, Kuwabara, Keiko, Botan, Kitsume, Shizuru, and Yukina were whisked away, shattering the space-time continual thingy into pieces. It felt like they were rushing through an overpowering river. Once through the portal they fell limply to the ground now below their feet. They all lay unconscious in a clearing of an unknown forest and an unknown world. Something had seen them come through and it now waited in nearby shrubbery, silent for an opportune moment . . . . . . .

HAHAHA I leave you hanging again. Finally the plot comes into the open (well sorta). I can assure you the next chapter will be beyond belief, twists, turns, and all that good stuff that makes a story interesting. Well please review, Ixi out.
