Ch13: A Figure from the Past
The next day, Taya, Kurama, Ronnoc, and I watched the last of the semi-finals. Karatu, Karasu's little brother, was three times as calm and contolling of his own powers, but three times as deadly! Ronnoc said he wanted to rip the guys limbs off after the young Quest demon killed his best friend, Tinato. Sunee was an uncontrollable inuyoukai of the element of rain; Taya wanted to kill her so badly that her spirit energy grew to the amount it used to be! And last, but not least, the cloaked member of team Toguro frightened me to death! He and Elder Toguro killed the remaining three fighters of team Gorenjya. I was so ticked off when I saw them kill Momorenjya. I stalked out with Kurama following me to find out what the problem was when we ran, literally, into Bui, Karasu, and Karatu. Ronnoc came in and was about to cut Karatu's head off when the two explosive demons (pun not intended) just vanished. Bui was still hobbling away.(A/N: He looked like he had a bad leg to me!) My brother swore loudly and flew away through a skylight. I sighed and left to go back to the hotel.
On the way back to the hotel, the cloaked figure blocked my way. I had stayed in my demon form ever since my fight with Yaniko, so I slashed right past him and he seemingly fell to shreds, but when I looked back, only the cloak was in shreds. It was Al Junica, Yomi's old partner! He vanished without a trace, fading into the shadows. What in the world...He was supposed to have died twenty years ago...I thought, going back to the hotel. Along the way, I sensed someone's energy go up really high and someone else's just vanish thirteen seconds later. Genkai! Oh no! Did she just...oh god, no. Anything but that...
