Chapter 10. A million and one ways to get into trouble
(This is happening at the same time as in Ch.9)
Kitsume jumped from the tree she was in after Hiei disappeared. She walked over to his tree and knelt down to pick up several black sparkling stones. The curious looks from the gang had been replaced by sleeping ones so Kitsume wasn't worried about alerting them to anything. 'Oh Hiei, what's wrong?' Kitsume quickly picked up all the gems and put them in her side pouch. She put all but one in her pouch, the last she kept out and began to toss it up and down as one flips a coin.
Kitsume took off in the direction of the passage leading to the outside and turned into her great black fox form. Kurama had just entered and saw her run out. On a whim he ran after her. 'Where is she going in such a rush? And where is Hiei?' Kitsume led Kurama down a maze of passageways he had never seen before and doubted Kitsume had either. Ahead of him Kitsume made a decision to turn a split-second to late and she was thrown off balance trying to turn the tight corner at such speeds. She crashed into the wall and lay there for a few seconds upon seeing Kurama following her. 'Good, he is following me. This will work to my advantage.' The fox slowly rose to her feet and looked straight at Kurama.
Kurama looked back into her eyes, 'She is telling me something. But what is it?' Kitsume closed her eyes and tilted her head to the ground she her nose was barely inches from the ground. Her lips opened slightly in a doggy smile. "Kurama" She spoke perfectly, even in her fox form. "What?" "I know what you're hiding. You can't get past me." Kurama's eyes widened in shock. 'How does she know?' "Please Kurama, mistake me for neither a fool nor a blind man, I have ways of finding things out even you great Yoko can not know. Do not mistake me for an amateur in anyway to this profession." Kitsume reopened her eyes and lifted her head to give Kurama a piercing glare. "So, you know that she has been contacting me then?" "Of course, I was spoken to by Hiei that you were not yourself as of late, and Hiei is keenly aware of my skills. I was one of many jobs he has given me lately. So, what has she been saying, you have to tell me in as much detail as you can either bare or feel necessary to tell me." "It's been mostly threatening to high degrees. She seems to find pleasure in the graphic detail she goes into with her death threats. She is able to invade my mind at all times. She has even given some sort of mental torture that can give physical scars." "So that was a scent of blood that one day. Hmm, this situation gets more complex." "But for some reason once I arrived here she is now silent." "I figured as much, Kurama you must come with me." "Why?" "Too long of an explanation for this moment in time, but life seems to reveal things when they are necessary to be revealed."
Kitsume looked around the cavern walls and saw what she was looking for. "Aha, just what we need." Kurama only watched in confusion as Kitsume turned from black fox to her usual human form. She walked over to the wall and ran her fingers in a groove of one of the markings. The wall lit up and a map-like sphere appeared inches from the wall. Kitsume walked around it to find where she wanted to go. "AHA!" She yelled grabbing a surprised Kurama's arm and touching a blue point in the map sphere. Her and Kurama were sucked in and a few seconds later were in someplace Kurama had never seen.
"Hey!? Wait just one second! This isn't the place we were suppose to end up!" Kitsume yelled jumping to her feet. "What the hell happened?" Kitsume yelled again very frustrated. "GRRRRRR!!" A deep roar came from behind the two. Kitsume slowly turned around, face paling and saw a black creature emerging from the shadows of the giant tree. A giant troll lumbered towards them. "Kurama, I suggest we run now. Sound good to you?" Kurama nodded his head and the two of them took off into the forest with blood red leaves.
"What were you trying to do anyway, back there Kitsume?" Kurama turned to see her and yanked her forward when a mighty blow came from behind them, turning the giant trees to splinters. "Well I've been to this one place and they had portal thingy ma-bobs there and I was looking at the carvings on the way in and they resembled them, so I tested one and it worked. But I'm at a loss for what went wrong with this one." Another earth shaking roar was heard and the two sped up.
They soon came to a cave and Kurama pulled her and himself in. The opening was barely big enough for Kitsume and the room was barely big enough for the both of them. They slowly caught their breath and Kitsume being closest to the opening looked out. The lumbering noises became louder and the wall of the cave slowly began to loose bits of rocks that began to hit both Kurama and Kitsume's heads. The dust from the falling bits of rock made Kitsume cough and the thundering footsteps stopped. The two froze but they weren't the reason the thing stopped.
"Who the hell do you think you are wandering out of your territory swamp demon?" Came an icy angry voice. The sound made Kitsume's blood run cold. She could hear the backing up of the giant. "What? No answer? We'll just have to fix that little problem now won't we?" "No mistress Mika don't take out your katana, I'm going back right now, see?" "Sorry, I've been given enough orders today, sayonara baka." Kitsume looked at Kurama with worry when two loud thuds shook the earth. "Ah, so relaxing." (Elmer: Hey that wasn't very nice. Ixi: So? It's Mika we're talking about here. Hey wait Elmer? YAY!! Elmer you are finally here YAY!! *Starts dancing around in circles with Elmer * See Elmer's my nice muse. The other one is really mean and gives me ideas only when I'm half-asleep and ready for bed. Lark: HEY! I HEARD THAT! Ixi: Well it's the truth. Elmer: Uh Ixi, you're rambling. Ixi: Right ^-^' sorry back to the story.) Mika's ice cold glare pierced the land as if to see who would tempt her next.
A small stone hit Kitsume's head and an eep of surprise came from her mouth. Kurama's hand wasn't fast enough to silence her and one of Mika's slender cat ears perched upon her head swiveled in that direction. Her ice glare came a few seconds later focusing on the opening in the rock. "Hmm?" Mika whispered to herself, curiosity getting to her. She took a step forward, small stones crunching under her feet.
The crunching stopped as another voice let its owner be known. "Mika!" The female voice yelled, the sound of stones flying was also heard, as to say the person was running towards Mika. "Beat it ryuu!" (Elmer: *Clears throat * ryuu, Japanese for Dragon. Ixi: Arigato Elmer.) "No Mika, you're going to far with your little power struggle." "What are you ryuu? My mother?" Mika yelled out in an icy voice. "No Mika, I'm not." "Then stop the lectures." Mika snapped back. "Fine then, let me ask you something. Will the end justify the means? Really think on this one Mika." Kitsume peeked out an eye and saw someone in a long traveling cloak with the hood up and another with cat ears and a tail, which I might add, has white glowing eyes. (Ixi: Care to clarify Elmer? Elmer: Sure, when Mika gets really pissed her scar and her eyes light up white hot, so whatever she slices with her sword is only a heap of ashes. Correct me if I'm wrong Mika)
Mika froze slightly before regaining her angry state. "When I am in power I will be happy, that is all I care about ryuu." The cloaked girl slightly shook her head, the long cloak dancing around her feet with the movements. "Gomen nasai to hear that Mika. I hope you are one day happy with your price of happiness." With that last bit the figure slowly walked into the forest before vanishing into the background. Kitsume spied Mika slowly looking around, as if searching for something that was just out of her reach.
Kitsume's hand moved and a small avalanche of pebbles cascaded down, causing a lot of noise. It caught Mika's attention and she spun around, quickly pulling out her katana. "Kuso, baka mori!" (Ixi: Elmer? Elmer: Damn, stupid forest ^-^) "Can't even get a baka scent here!" Mika looked around, a death glare in her eyes. "Mistress Mika! Mistress Mika?" A giddy voice called out and soon a bird appeared. (Ixi: Hey remember that bird who knew everything, well . . . . ) The silvery cock-a-teal fluttered inches from Mika. "NANI!?" Mika cried in frustration. (Ixi: Elmer? Elmer: Nani? = What?) The bird shrunk back in fear slightly before continuing "Empress Aris wishes an audience with you right now." "Iie, not now. I'm busy with something." "You don't have a choice." "So?" Mika's glare sent the bird cowering again.
"B-but A-Aris said you have to come right away." A vein was visibly popping from Mika's anger "Fine baka bird! I'll go if you stop squeaking!" Just as Mika turned to leave, two hollers came from a side cave in the cliff's side. A redheaded boy and a black-haired girl ran out, being chased by a cavernous cerberus. (Ixi: A cerberus is a three-headed dog thingy in Greek & Roman mythology that guards the enterance to Hades/Hell)
The three heads of the cerberus had foam dripping from the mouths, and several cuts bled on its body. The cerberus kept running past the two being closely pursued by a giant bird whose long sharp talons dripped with the silver blood of the cerberus. The cerberus slowed its running, having no more energy with which to run. It fell skidding on the pebbles. The giant bird soared skyward before diving down in a final strike, killing the cerberus on impact. The silver blood running from its mouth began to create a small stream flowing from the carcass. The bird dove its head into the flesh and dined.
Kitsume covered her mouth with her hand as the bird's head came into view, drenched in the silver blood. 'Wait! A cerberus? Aren't they only found around . . . . ?' Kitsume's eyes widened realizing what it meant. She grabbed Kurama's hand and attempted to run for it when the cat demon girl stepped in their way. "And just where do you think you're going? You're trespassing in my territory." "And what a lovely territory it is. We were just passin' through and yeah, we're going to leave now bai!" She took a firmer grip on Kurama's hand and pulled him forward in a dead run. She put two fingers in her mouth and whistled. Hoof-beats soon rang out. 'I knew it, it is here!' A silver and purple, and white and green horse appeared running along side them on a different path. As the paths connected the horses joined Kurama and Kitsume, who jumped on one. When she did, Kurama was pulled up too; Kitsume jumped to the other one leaving Kurama on the green one. "Hold on Kurama." Kitsume yelled over to him.
She whistled again and the horses' green and purple markings flared out like fire as the horses ran with an unknown speed. The only thing they could do was hold on as the two horses carried them off. A roaring noise was heard and before either Kurama or Kitsume could know what was going on they were up to their knees in turbulent water. (Ixi: And I mean their knees, not the horses. The water is about up to the horses' backs, just a foot maybe below it.) The horses began swimming, fighting the current to get to the other side. "Where are they taking us?" Kurama yelled over the noise of rushing water from a huge waterfall. "Wherever we need to be. These are Kumi. An ancient breed that later evolved into the horse, unicorn, and pegasus if only to mention a few. They are guides, made of pure light. The light within them is said to shine out when the darkness inside their master's hearts is at its deepest. Hopefully they will take us to a friend of mine, who I believe is somewhere around here."
The kumi then stopped mid-river, bracing their legs against the currant. They whinnied to the river and the waters began to change. The water around the kumi's legs began to seep away into a great rising wave. The great wave began to take shape, forming that of a dragon. The water's covering broke revealing a silvery serpentine dragon. It shook its long blue mane and gave a cheerful look to the two kitsunes. It changed once again and a girl appeared standing on the water as if it were ground. "Kit! Wow, you're the last person I would expect to see!" The girl cried out running to hug her long-lost friend. Kitsume jumped off her kumi and ran to the girl. "Ixi! But how?" Ixi pulled back smiling. "What I never told you the history and origins and all the fun facts about Crystal City?" "Oh, and 'it's an ancient secret only for Crystallites to know' is suppose to cover it all?"
Kurama was completely lost through this and the kumi wasn't helping too much. It kept nudging him forward, a place he didn't want to go to so as not to disturb the reunion of the friends. Suddenly the kumi stopped. It turned its head towards a hill, looking at something sparkling. The thing started running towards the girls and Kurama made it known. The blue streak of light raced down the hill, and was upon the group in no time. It turned out to be a blue kumi, its Inner Light threatening to blind the group. It stumbled slightly, as if in pain. Kurama looked to Kitsume and saw her eyes reflected the light, dancing in them and turning them even deeper blue. "Flying shadow?" She whispered, "What have you gotten yourself into?" (Ixi: ^-^ I have a habit for finding cool info and I found out Hiei means Flying Shadow in Japanese.) Kurama turned and looked back at the kumi. It was blue and white, and glowing with an intense blue-white light. What did Kitsume know that she wasn't telling people?
From behind the group a crunching of pebbles became audible and they three turned around and saw a familiar neko demon behind them with a pissed look on her face. (Ixi: Neko = Cat) Her eyes narrowed as she reached for her katana . . .
~ * With Hiei * ~
Hiei's eyes widened as another memory ended. 'So, that's why they don't trust me because I'm the Dragon. But why? Why would he . . . . ' Hiei turned to find the fox, but no such luck. Nobody was in the room, nobody except for the owner of the evil, cackling laugh that made Hiei's blood run cold. "I have her Dragon, and if you want her back in one piece you'll do as I say from now on . . ."
Ixi: Heh, 'nother cliffie. Those are so much fun. Hey Elmer, care to sign off?
Elmer: Sure, thank you to reviewers, sorry about the wait and Ixi will be updating as soon as the next chapter is finished.
Lark: HEY!! Don't I get to say something?
Ixi: You just did. Bye for now peoples and please review.
