Chapter 7 The sad predicament

Korim went to the area he knew that Shadow Master was and then he saw the Shadow Master.

“Hey, Vapor Brain Dingledorfus.,” Korim called. “I’m here to make an agreement.”

Shadow walked over. “Tell me you proposition, what do you want for turning yourself in?” He asked having know that Korim would come to him.

“Set the Kitsune friend of those Spirit Detectives free and I’ll go willingly.”

“You must come with me first, I’ll take care of the other part. Agreed?” the evil “little” guy said.

Korim nodded his head and was lead away by the guards.

“Not.” the dark evil man said when Korim was safely transported to his prison. “I have need of that Crystal fox. She shall work for me to trap her own friends then I will…Dispose of her.”

Then he went and vanished back to the castle that was his home.

In the jailhouse Korim after causing great trouble of them trying to get him in to the jail room finally after over 3 hours of trying they shoved him in a jail cell that didn’t have the drawings all over it. It was dreary looking except for 2 things in the room one of the walls was made of iron bars showing the jail room that he used to be in. init was the Dimension dragon he had helped and the other he assumed to be the crystal Youko. At the moment she looked in great pain. As the door shut, no banged the vibrating of the walls caused the fox on the floor to look up.

The dragon went over to the iron bars and freezing them nudged them with his nose and they shattered to ice particles. The white/green fox stepped over towards Korim and sat down.

“Well, there Miss Crystal Fox you now have a jail mate. I hope you enjoy the company with the black kitsune.” the cruel guard said outside the door. At those words the little dragon breathed through the keyhole and froze the guards hands to the keys he was holding.

“You must be Youkiya.” Korim stated sitting down beside her. She nodded but laid her head against the stone wall.

The other day the Shadow Master had removed her chains and placed bracelets on each hand that were talisman bracelets so they were very painful but still caused her not to use her powers. Korim could see the pain in her eyes. So he decided to relieve her from having that pain.

“Would you like to have those off of your wrists?” Korim asked her.

She nodded, Using his ability made his hand a shadow and with Youkiya’s wide eyes watching put his hand into each cuff breaking it from the pressure it caused. Once free she relaxed then remembered something the guard had said.

“You’re a black Kitsune? Who are you?” she asked looking up at him. “How did you know my name too?”

“Yes I am a black kitsune and I know you because you and your friends helped me when I was hurt

And my name is Korim.”

“Oh so you were the tall dark haired person that ran into Nakine and I, and you’re the Kitsune that Kurone found in one of my old healing caves. “ She said standing up.

“Are you really black?”

“Yes.” he said smiling and took a small bit of water and rubbed it into his hair and showed her that it was still black.

She then took a little bit of water and did the same and exclaimed “It is black!”

“You know Kurone had to do the same thing to believe that I was actually black.”Korim said reminiscing about the past.

“ So you are Kurama’s Cousin.” Kara said surprised.

“Yes I am, just I am older than him by a couple hundred years.” he said leaning against the wall and winced.

“You’re hurt! Let me see.” She demanded.

Korim didn’t fight because she had a determined look on her face such as he had seen on his cousin’s when he was after something but wouldn’t stop till he got it. He revealed his back that was still very badly cut up , but was covered in one of Kurama’s too large shirts.

“Kurama tried what he could but I don’t’ know how much he got better.”

He winced and shivered as she put healing crystals on his back (that were freezing cold) healing it to the point where it looked like he had never been hurt at all.

“Well Kurama could not heal all of it because I am the better healer, and fighter at times, when I want to.”

“I can believe that you are the better healer but fighter, really now!” he said as he put his shirt back on.

“Well I did defeat him at the dark tournament.” she said as she sat back down and her dragon jumped into her lap.

“Oh so you were that kitsune, I never knew if it was a female or male that defeated him, I never was told .” he said as he leaned against the wall, ’Ah, I haven’t felt this relaxed in years.”

Youkiya was shocked. This foxes back had been covered in cuts as long as Korim could remember in his captivity.

Then the two talked of their lives and everything from how Nakine and Kara met to how the most deadly plants grow and where.

“You know I was just thinking. Kurama never knew that you were shadowing him until the mission that this toddler as you put it told him and those others about a mission to find you and your friend. So you should have seen lots of ancient artifacts, right?” korim asked.

“Yea, I’ve seen millions of them. Only very few have escaped my roving.”Youkiya said curious.

“I was wondering if you ever heard of the shadow gem?” the shadow fox commented.

“NO I don’t believe that I have. What is a shadow gem?”

“A shadow gem is a jewel that is born with the power to turn into and make shadows appear. Though if the jewel was destroyed the bearer would lose his life..

Then as he sat up he winced and bent over in pain.

“What is it? Let me see.”

“It’s nothing really nothing at all. I’ve had it for years and years.” the dark fox said.

“Sure it’s not serious. Let me see.” she said trying to sound very upset.

“I don’t thing that you would be able to fix it. Only if you succeeded in knowledge and skill than the Fox healer than Frost Fingers. “

“Frost fingers was my Uncle. And I did surpass him in skill so you can’t say that I can’t do it except that I don’t have the right tools. “

“Well what do you say if I tell you that it is a heart-bleed bullet.” Korim said.

“Oh. Than you probably have two weeks and if you are still living I am going to operate on you and get it out.” then she went silent and looked away and her face looked away.

Korim looked close and saw her look very sad.

Flashback:

Youkiya was working with her Uncle Frost. He was teaching the last thing in her training with her Uncle. It was to the point that she would surpass her uncle.

They were returning and her uncle , who was always doing things with her, complimented her on her skills saying “YOukiya you have surpassed not just your mother in skill but also myself you have a special ability that is better and extrodanairaly better than all the Youko’s in this village and probably in all the Youko foxes everywhere.”

Then suddenly her Uncle tensed and growled at her, “Run for the village NOW!”

Starting to run wasn’t as fast as her Uncle so he soon caught up to her and caught her up and carrying her ran the faster than she had ever before in his life, huffing and puffing arrived at the Ice miles of traps, began to swiftly weave through them.

Then halfway to the village a shot was heard. Youkiya was knocked to the ground, looking at her Uncle saw him bleeding.

Running over tried to heal it but he stopped her, “Youkiya this is a fatal shot, by a bullet called Heart-bleed. It will work it’s way to my heart and kill me but you must hear this, in the future you will receive a package from me it has to do with the past. But I warn you, do not feel anger against those who did what they did, but forgive and help heal that which was hurt…”

Then as he tried to finish the sentence his eyes closed and Youkiya knew he had died.

She could hear the villagers coming to them. She could feel her father pick her up but she was refusing to cry she just kept her eyes closed and trembled. Uncle Frost was dead but who killed him and Why?

She refused to speak afraid that talking would let go of the tears that were hiding behind her eyelids.

Her father handed her to her mother and she took their trembling daughter home. Youkiya so young should never had seen her Uncle be killed or anyone for that matter get killed.

That night she still hadn’t said a word, during the night she vowed that she would kill the murderer that killed her Uncle and she would become an expert fighter. Thus began her passion for fighting and healing.

End of Flashback

There was silence for a while then she started to talk again.

They were enjoying the company of each other when a guard came and said “Shadow master has ordered you to come and have dinner with him to discuss about your release.”

“Well you tell him I don’t want to see him.” She said angrily , “And I have all I need right here.”

A few minuets later more guards came and entered to forcer her to go. Hiding behind Korim she said “Korim don’t let them take me.” He nodded and said, “You know she did say that she didn’t want to go.”

Then the guards charged, knowing they weren’t going to get Miss Ice another way. Korim was surrounded by 6 guards who were trying to get to Kara but didn’t succeed while Cornix hid behind and under Kara’s Hair because one of the guards was carrying a torch and that is a dimension dragon’s one weakness.

As Korim was distracted he didn’t notice three guards who knew that a fox having worn the talisman bracelets if they came off that it would be awhile before she could fully contain her powers again, grabbed her and began to drag her out the cell door. Korim hearing her yell turned and tried to get to her but an evil guard whacked korim in the head with a very large metal bar knocking him unconscious.

They didn’t notice that she wasn’t wearing the talisman bracelets .But lead her away after she ordered her dragon to protect Korim. As in freeze anyone who comes near so he can be safe from evil guards.

She went through many halls and up many stairs down one and through a grand hallway all were filled with ancient artifacts or items of great value.

Then at the end of the hallway they went into a room that had a huge mirror of the farthest wall and a large round table that had 6 chairs around it.

This room was lavishly decorated. It had one large window that had three chairs of the finest quality sitting in the direction of the window. In one of these chairs sat a black haired dark skinned man.

He had black eyes and wore black clothes and had a walking staff that was shaped strangely at one end, almost like a cruel looking hook. It was made of gold and had the designs of a honeysuckle vine twisting upward.

He stood and said “Welcome Fox. As you know you are here to discuss your release.

But I must say that you are here for another reason also.

A large screen appeared and showed Kurone who early had gone for a walk in the park. He was sitting in a tree playing his trivial flute. Then suddenly 20 demons that were really weak attacked him and it showed Kurone falling out of the tree.

“You see these demons though they are weak are doing something for me. That will be very rewarding for me.” the evil “little” man said.

“What are you talking about Kurone could beat those demons anytime. In fact he is winning by thousands. GO KURONE! YA he is doing so good.” the excited fox yelled back at him.

“I see that you have gotten out of your cuffs, but that can be remedied.” All of a sudden out of nowhere the talisman bracelets appeared once again on her hands.

She growled but could do nothing about it.

“You see you missed something in the corner.” He rewound the clip from Kurone walking happily away to just before Kurone fell out of the Tree. Then he pointed to the right hand corner of it.

A dark shadow that looked like Kurone appeared and took the falling flute that should have disappeared when touching an object except this was part of Kurone so it remained solid.

Then the shadow figure appeared suddenly a foot from shadow master it looked Identical to Kurone.

“Young Fox, I can control shadows, I would control your’s but it is too cold to try to control with out getting frost bite. This is Kurone’s shadow and I have his flute.”

“So only Kurone can play that flute and Shadows aren’t solid, DUH” she said acting like she wanted to strangle shadow master.

“This is part of Kurone, you see by my controlling his shadow it drains him of his life energy and gives more to this shadow the more he uses this flute and it still has the magical principals that it would in Kurone’s hand. So I will slowly drain Kurone of his life energy and don’t try to warn him because your dragon can’t leave that cell anymore to give messages to your friends. I have removed all possible ways of your escape. Now shall we have dinner and discuss what you will do for me before I free you.” Shadow Master said with an evil smirk on his face that she wanted to wipe off of his face.

They went over to the huge table and sat down. He sat at one end of the table and she sat to his left.

“Well I notice something unusual about you,” he said as they started to eat roast lamb and mint jelly. With a side of garden salad. “You are the only left handed fox I have every heard or seen.” Then he proceeded to stuff his evil little face. Making Kara want to gag.

When the rudest evil “little” man finished stuffing his face he wiped his mouth gentleman-like then turned to her and said “Now you are going to be setting some traps for me so the rest of my plan can go into action.”

“What makes you think I would do anything for you , you glutton.” the enraged fox spouted out receiving much pain from the cuffs from that.

“Well it seems that I have your friend’s and you risk her life if you don’t do as I say.” he said with an evil smile.

“Prove it.”

“Alright,” then he took out a small dagger that Lizette never let anyone know was in her boot except herself.

She paled and said with little enthusiasm “Fine what do you need me to do.”

For the next 4 hours Shadow Master directed Youkiya in setting traps every this way and that. Then after much hard work was taken back to her cell drained and exhausted.

She entered the cell and saw all the statues that were outside the door. Cornix had taken his job too seriously. Then felt Cornix becoming the size of a large dog and wrapped itself around her for support from her exhaustion.

Going over to Korim who was still unconscious proceeded to heal him too. Then when he began to wake up from her healing vigil laid down on the stones and instantly fell asleep. Knowing that he was alright and that he would be safe.

Korim opened his eyes expecting more pain than what he had, then looking to his right saw Kara fast asleep. Smiled realizing that she had healed him but for some reason was exhausted by more than caring for him. Then thinking to himself “ Now I wonder what he made her do that made her so exhausted?” Then he proceeded to find a comfortable place on the cobblestones to fall asleep on and soon fell in to a dark dreamless sleep.
