Troubled Assassin
Hey everyone! I'm glad you like my story so far! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I'm really sick with the flu or something. You know high fever, runny nose, the usual. Well here's another chapter, I hope you enjoy!
Akaya went to her room pacing back and forth. "What if Hiei tells Kurama?" she thought almost in hysterics. There was a knock on the door and Akaya jumped. "My Queen, what happened?" Mara asked appearing in the doorway. "Oh Mara, I think I have to leave for a little while." Akaya said. Mara looked at Akaya in shock. "BUT WHY!?!" she screeched. "Mara, I trust you with my life but some things no one was meant to know." Akaya said. "My Queen, does it have something to do with baby Karamu?" Mara asked. "Actually Mara, yes it does, I need you to watch over him and the kingdom when I am gone." Akaya said as she started packing a bag. "Yes my Queen, I will make the announcement of your parting soon." Mara said leaving the room. Akaya frantically packed a bag and changed her clothes into black cargo pants, a black tank top, and a black hooded cape. She pulled the cape over her head and left the castle. Akaya ran through the land of the angel demons without looking back. She stopped at a hill and looked back at the castle. "I will return soon." She promised and took off into the makai.
With Kurama and Hiei
"Hiei what are you talking about?" Kurama asked standing up. "You're new girlfriend might not want to hear this." Hiei said nodding towards the blonde girl. Kurama gave Hiei a suspicious look but turned to the girl. "Malika, do you mind excusing us for a minute?" Kurama said politely and she smiled. "Sure honey." She said as she kissed him on the cheek and left the room. She stood behind the door intently listening in. "Now Hiei what are you talking about?" Kurama snapped. "Do you remember what you and Akaya did that night?" Hiei asked and Kurama smiled and nodded. "Good, well there was a slight side affect!" Hiei snapped. "What do you mean?" Kurama asked sounding worried. "She gave birth to a little baby boy with fox ears Kurama, hm... I wonder whose child it could be?" Hiei snarled sarcastically. "Why are you acting like this Hiei?" Kurama said looking at his enraged friend. "Acting like what fox?" Hiei snapped. "Like that!" Kurama yelled back at Hiei. "Because you claimed you loved her and now you are with a ningen!" Hiei screamed. "Oh my god, Hiei likes Akaya." Kurama thought as he frowned. "What do you want me to do Hiei, she hates us all remember!" Kurama said. "Don't you want to see your child?" Hiei growled. Kurama nodded as the other spirit detectives ran into the room with Botan. "Boys you will never guess what our new mission is!" Botan screamed. Kurama and Hiei glared at her and she gulped. "What's going on here?" Yusuke asked eying both boys. "Nothing." They snapped at the same time.
"Alright well an angel demon by the name of Mara, Akaya's loyalist servant might I add, well anyways she said Akaya left abruptly and wouldn't tell her why. Mara wants us to follow Akaya and find out what's going on." Botan said. "So when do we leave to the makai?" Kuwabara asked. "Tomorrow night, Koenma wants to be sure where she is first." Botan said. The boys nodded and all but Kurama left the house. "Malika I am so sorry, you can come out now." He said opening the door but the girl was gone. "Malika?" he called as he began searching the house.
Meanwhile Malika had left out the back way. "How could he have a baby with a... a... slut!" she snapped at no one in particular. Malika felt hot tears roll down her cheeks as rage boiled inside of her. "It is so funny how they all think I am a ningen, well I vow right now to find Akaya, the Queen of the angel demons and kill her myself!" she said as she raced towards the makai.
With Akaya
Akaya walked through the makai to her old house. She reached the front gate to find it as good as new. She smiled and walked up to the door. She put her hand on the doorknob and memories came flooding back to her. She walked in and took off her cape. She sighed as she took a shower and got herself settled in. She curled up on the couch as there was a knock on the door. "Coming." Akaya called. She got up and walked to the door and looked through the peephole. There stood a female fox demon with long flowing blonde hair, ember eyes, silver fox ears, and a silver fox tail. Akaya opened the door and raised an eyebrow. "Can I help you?" she asked. "Are you Akaya?" the woman spat. "Who wants to know?" Akaya snarled. "I am Malika, mate of Youko Kurama and I have a bone to pick with this Akaya woman." She snapped. Akaya glared at her and felt rage boil throughout her body. "Great to know he cared!" she thought. "Well I am Akaya and if you have a bone to pick with me make it quick." She demanded as Malika punched her in the face. Akaya flew back into her house and hit a wall knocking pictures down. She felt blood trickle from her nose and rage boil through her body. She wiped the blood using the back of her hand and stood up. She looked at her hand expecting to see crimson red but instead she saw black. Rage flashed through her eyes as Malika stepped into her house. "This will be too easy, I thought the all powerful Dark Angel would put up a fight." She said while laughing. "You bet I will bitch!" Akaya screamed and punched her in the face. She unsheathed her kantana and charged at Malika. Malika barely dodged and unsheathed her own kantana. "You will be sorry you ever messed with Kurama!" Malika screamed. "You'll be sorry you ever messed with me!" Akaya screamed and they charged at each other. The clang of metal was loud and they glared into each other's eyes before breaking apart. Akaya kicked Malika's feet out from under her and she fell to her back. Akaya raised her kantana above her head when she heard a rustle in the bush.
She looked over to see little Karamu appear through the bushes. "MOMMY!" he screamed and ran towards her. "No stay back!" Akaya yelled but it was too late. Malika jumped to her feet and grabbed him. "Is this the child?" Malika said looking at him in disgust. Akaya was so mad she couldn't process. She knew she couldn't attack her now with her baby in this woman's hands but she had to do something. A black aura rose around her as he eyes bore into Malika's. "Put my son down." She said in a low voice. "Why should I?" Malika spat. Akaya watched in horror as Malika snapped Karamu's neck. Akaya screamed as she saw the lifeless form of her son drop to the ground. She fell to her own knees as a tear streaked down her cheek landing on the ground as a golden tear gem. Malika laughed and punched Akaya in the face. Malika beat Akaya up but Akaya couldn't fight back. The only thing she had left was dead. Malika left Akaya's house and Akaya lie on the ground in a bloody pulp. She used the last of her energy to crawl towards Karamu's body and she cried. Akaya cried long and hard, not because she was in pain from Malika's beating but because her only child was dead.
