Kaida Okami – The Prophesy
Chapter Three
Escape
Kaida sat in her tiny jail cell, staring around her with disgust. There was slime and
muck all over the floor, along with a few other fluids she didn't want to think about.
There was a single, concrete cot in her cell, and a privy in the corner. The door itself
would be easy enough to break out of, if only she had her lock picks. Like her daggers,
she had left them at home. She had never considered a betrayal. As she was busy cursing
herself in every language she knew, she began to hear and feel things from several stories
above. She heard a two very loud voices, locked in a verbal war and felt several strong
energies flare up. Once, she thought she heard something being broken. Then an eerie
silence settled over the prison. Kaida's cell was divided from the others so she didn't
even get the presence of other living creatures to distract her from the sudden quiet.
Suddenly, the quiet was broken. Kaida could hear foot steps walking her way.
Quiet at first, but louder as they got closer, Kaida could also feel a familiar energy.
"Kurama?" she whispered.
His ears would be able to pick her voice up, but not another demon.
"Kaida?" came back a voice, equally quiet.
Kaida walked through the slop on the floor to get to the cell door.
"I'm over here." She said, voice a normal level.
Kurama walked over to her cell.
"How are you doing?" he asked her.
Kaida looked around her in the cell, from the slop on the floor, to the unbearable smell
of....well.....use your imagination, to the numerous bruises and cut she had sustained in
her several tumbles with the Guards. She looked back to Kurama with a wry grin.
"Any better, I couldn't stand it."
Kurama looked at her seriously.
Kaida's grin began to fade.
"You have to get out of here Kaida." Kurama told her. "There going to execute
you. Dawn tomorrow. Koenma could do nothing about it."
Kaida sighed.
"I know Kurama. I know! But how the devil am I supposed to get out without a
pick? And where would I go?!"
"The first question I can answer, But as the last, you will have to discover for
yourself."
Kurama stuck his hand through the bars of the cell, to shake her hand. To the cameras
posted in a near the corner, it would look like a final goodbye.
As Kurama retracted his hand and turned to walk away, he looked over his shoulder at
her.
"I know you feel betrayed." He told her. "I thought you would like to know, Hiei
and Yusuke raise hell. Even Kuwabara. I was the only one calm enough to be let back to
say goodbye. The other where kicked out."
He grinned slightly and left her to her thoughts.
***
Kaida sat in the dark, hours after Kuramas departure. When Kurama had shook her hands,
he had slipped several lock picks into her palm. She had spent the next few hours
planning her escape. First, there was to judge which pick to use, then she had to judge the
exact blind spot of the cameras. Finally, with an unusual amount of planning, Kaida was
ready, he took her pick and headed to the door. She slammed her palm against the door in
an apparent rage, sliding the pick in and turning it, popping the lock, swiftly. She slipped
out the door and into the cameras blind spot, locking up the door again. She crept along
the outer wall. She passed the supposedly 'high security' vault. (which was, in fact, the
same one Kurama and Hiei broke into) that contained her medallion. Kaida silently snuck
in and stole back her medallion. She grinned as she left the vault and spirit world,
disappearing into the night.
One question still lingered though.
Where was she going to go........
