Ghost and Shadow 10: The Makai
The trip to the Makai was just a whirlwind. Kurama didn't remember anything between the time he jumped through the portal to when he landed in the Makai.
"Hey, Kurama. You ok?"
Kurama looked towards whoever said that. His vision was blurry, he must've hit his head harder than he thought. Slowly, everything came back into focus, and he saw that Yusuke had spoken. "Watch out for that first step," Kurama said. The gang laughed as Yusuke helped Kurama up off the ground. "Ow, great. Remind me to hurt Koenma for making my ass hurt."
Yusuke laughed. "Looks like the Youko's going to be in complete control for a while, huh?"
"As long as we're in the Makai, I will act like this. Get used to it." Kurama muttered. He bent down and retrieved his supplies that had fallen out of his grip during the fall. As he was gathering his things, he noticed they were by a large forest. Actually, they were surrounded by it on all sides. They were in a grassy clearing.
"So, where are we going to crash for the night? Koenma didn't tell us where," Kuwabarra asked. It was one of those rare occasions when no one had an answer for him. His question wasn't all that stupid for once.
"That was our job!!" a voice thick with an Irish accent said just above them. Looking up, everyone saw Jin hovering just above their heads, his standard smile plastered to his face.
"You honestly expect me to trust you?" Hiei said, looking up at the buoyant wind master.
"Well, you don't have much of a choice," an icy voice said to their right. Touya emerged from the trees, dressed in his standard outfit of the Shinobi. He leaned against a tree and crossed his arms. "Seeing as the demons among you haven't been here all that recently, they would be of little help finding a place to stay."
"Koenma told us we're to help you in anyway, shape, and form," Kris added, finally drawing attention to herself from the gang. "I was with those two in the Makai for quite some time trying to find a suitable place."
"By suitable you mean-?" Yusuke's question was both answered and interrupted Botan, who had just flown in through the portal.
"By suitable they mean somewhere where you won't be so easily found. Did you put up the barriers like you were instructed?" Botan asked the newest members. Receiving the affirmative, she cheerfully stated, "Great! Let's go!"
"Follow us," said Touya as he turned and walked back into the woods. Kris left with him and Jin zoomed off in the general direction. Shrugging to each other, the gang, now with Botan, followed them into the depths of the forest. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Here we are!" said Jin once they reached another clearing about a two hour walk from where they began. He hovered above a cottage the clearing, and the gang's jaws dropped.
This cottage was by no means small. It had three stories, a sloping roof, and a stream that ran around it. There was also a small garden/vegetable patch beside the house.
"The garden is for Kris and Kurama to take care of," Touya stated, gesturing to it. "We already know Kurama is good with plants, but we found out Kris is good with them, too."
"It's a Youko trait," Kris said, shrugging off the compliment. "Anyway, we need to eat, so a garden was necessary."
"Don't worry about anyone finding it!" Jin called out, still hovering above them. Jin floated over to hover above Touya. Annoyed, Touya grabbed Jin's leg and pulled the wind master out of the air and onto the ground. "Ow! Thanks a lot!" Jin got up and rubbed his butt. "As I was saying, no one can find this place! Too deep in the woods, plus our security system is flawless!"
"Time to get settled, then," Koenma said, popping up behind the gang, freaking everyone out.
Shaking off the surprise, the gang gathered up their things and trooped down to the cottage. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kurama collapsed into a chair. After nearly three hours of unpacking, delayed greatly due to Yusuke and Koenma fighting, the Youko was exhausted.
"Uh, Kurama?"
Kurama's head shot up and looked towards the voice. Botan was standing in the doorway to the living room, and was looking at him in an almost pleading way. "What is it, Botan?" he asked.
"We need a few of you guys to go and make sure there are no intruders." Botan said, in an almost feeble voice.
"But Jin said that the security systems-"
"Yes, but sometimes little demons who aren't too bright set off the systems. And besides, you have to get registered in the system. That way it doesn't kill you." Botan took a deep breath. "You're going with Jin, Kris, Hiei, and Yusuke to get registered."
"I'm guessing I have no choice in the matter?" Kurama starred at Botan, waiting for an answer. When she gave the nod, he heaved himself off the incredibly comfy chair and walked to the door. "Are you and Touya cooking?"
"Yes."
"Good, the food will be edible. I'll be back later," Kurama gave his goodbye to Botan and exited the door into the setting sun. Just outside the door sat Kris, Yusuke and Hiei, all looking annoyed.
"Hey! Good to see you're alive!" Yusuke said in his cocky way, "I was just about to go and see if you had died, or something."
"You're going to die for putting me in a bad mood!" Kurama advanced to Yusuke, only to be stopped by Jin landing between the two of them.
'Ready to go?!" the ever cheerful wind master shouted. He was oblivious to the situation, until he saw the look on Kurama's face. "What'd I do?" he squeaked.
"Move, I need to strangle Yusuke,"
"Why?" Kris asked, moving behind Jin and looking up at her old friend, "What'd he do now?"
"Went into my things, and gave me a headache."
"Jeez, the littlest things still set you off," she muttered under her breath.
"Are you quite finished?" Hiei finally asked, jumping off the stump he was sitting on. "Don't we need to go somewhere?"
"Yeah," Jin said, eager to get away from the pissed Youko. Jumping back into the air and hovering in front of the group. "This way. We have to register you guys by tonight, unless you want to get up really early in the morning." Jin zoomed off into the trees, leaving the others in front of the house. After starring at the wind master's hasty exit, they followed him. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Alright, now you guy's just look at this," They were now at the edge of another clearing, and Kris was holding up a small plant which Kurama had immediately recognized as a weaker version of the death plant. "When you look at it, it registers your spirit energy. But it only registers if a plant master is holding it."
"So we just look at the thing?" Yusuke asked, reaching out a hand to poke the plant. His hand was quickly slapped away by Kris.
"Don't touch it! Even though it's a weak version, I has some more potent ways of survival that the real Death Plant! If you just touch this guy, it will immediately get in your system."
"Let me guess," Hiei said before Kris could continue. "It doesn't affect you because you can control it. Am I right?"
"Exactly," Kris replied, looking at Hiei. "Now, just look at the damn thing and we can go back!"
Not wanting to evoke Kris' wrath, which Kurama warned them about before they left, the guys all looked at the plant. Right after they looked at it, it began to glow, and little white strings of energy came out of the plant and connected to them. The white strings were soon the same color as their spirit energy; green, black, and red. The registration took less than a minute, but it left them feeling a little tired afterwards.
"Can we go back now?" asked Jin. He had been floating over their heads, thoroughly bored. He had been registered before the others arrived, same with Touya.
"Sure," Kris lifted the plant up into a tree, where it slithered up into a higher branch and out of sight. "I'm hungry, anyway."
Kris suddenly let out a small scream of surprise. An arrow had just narrowly missed her head and was wedged in the tree. Looking towards where the arrow was shot, the five of them saw a large group of demons, standing just outside the barrier.
Cliffie! Yay! Finally, the bloodbath begins in the next chapter! I'm not too great at writing fight scenes, but hopefully these next few chappies will come out alright. Stay tuned and REVIEW!
