Kaida Okami – The Prophesy
Chapter Eleven
By Midnight
The groups feet pounded in a steady rhythm as they ran through the forest towards
their trapped friend. They where otherwise silent, even Kuwabara. Each where thinking
their own thoughts but it all came back to what Koenma had said before they left.
FLASHBACK
"I can only get you so close to where she's being held." Koenma told them
hurriedly. He knew they had little time.
"You'll be dropped off in a large woods. When you get there, locate Kaida's
energy signal."
"Then what?" Kuwabara asked.
"Run like hell."
The portal to Makai opened in the floor of the living room. With little hesitation, the
group jumped in, prepared to fight whatever could be on the other side.
END FLASHBACK
Hiei skidded to a halt at the edge of a clearing, right in the middle of the woods.
The rest of the group arrived soon after him (Kuwabara in the rear). A peek through the
brush reviled a rather large concrete compound standing in the middle. It was a virtual
castle, but very short. It rose no higher than the tops of the trees, and was shielded very
well from view.
Hiei removed his head band and his Jagan eyes opened slowly. He closed his other two
eyes and concentrated.
The others watched him as he told them what he was seeing.
"She's inside, in the middle of the compound." He said quietly. "One guard and-"
he paused and silently gritted his teeth. Only Kurama noticed.
"She's in a large cage. Electric bars. I think she's asleep."
"What about the treasures?" Yusuke asked.
"Their on a small platform next to the cage. In front of a window."
"Lets go, then." Yusuke said.
Hiei tied his bandana back in place and walked after them.
Kaida snarled at Shiin as he continued throwing rocks at her through the bars of
the cage.
At first it had been mildly annoying, but tolerable. Kaida had ignored him.
But the rocks had gotten bigger, and Shiin's aim was wonderful, hitting her hard on her
bruises.
She could tell that the time was getting close. The time of the prophesy.
The moon and the small planet -Pluto maybe?- where almost perfectly aligned, and it
was only dusk. By fast approaching midnight, her time would be up.
The treasures, including Kaida's medallion, had been set up on a small table platform,
next to the window. They where aligned so the light from the moon would hit it directly.
She snarled as another rock hit the large purple/black bruise on her collarbone.
She looked, more like glared, in Shiin's direction.
"Your going to die." She said softly, with powerful conviction.
Shiin paused mid throw of another large rock.
"I don't think you understand the situation here, girly." He told her with
amusement. "As soon as the Master's done with you, your all mine. You'll be praying
for death by the time I'm done."
He smirked.
Kaida smirked back.
"Your going to die." She repeated. "Tonight. Before your so called New Kingdom
is ever even started."
Shiin said nothing.
"Did your master, did the Shadow Man not tell you? Seer blood runs through my
veins. When I see the future, I cannot deny it. I speak the truth, Shiin. Tonight, you will
die."
Shiin unconsciously shivered.
"Are you enjoying your last sunset Shiin?" Kaida asked, her voice still eerily
quiet. "Are enjoying the feel of the breeze? I would. Maybe for you its different. Are you
enjoying the power you get from controlling a prisoner? It's the last time for any of it
Shiin. You will die tonight."
Shiin gulped and glared at her.
"Your trying to scare me." He said. "It's not working. I know your lying."
Kaida shook her head.
"No Shiin. I speak the truth. You will die tonight. In this very room even. I have
seen your fate."
Shiin spat feebly at her and stood up.
"I will not listen to a word from you any longer."
He turned to leave.
"You see it to now don't you, Shiin?" she called as he walked away. Suddenly,
Shiin turned back to the cage. With a quick turn of the key, he threw open the door and
pulled the pipe from behind his back.
Kaida had a second to recognize the rusty dried color of blood -her blood- before
the pipe crashed into the side of her head. She crumpled to the ground, unconscious.
"I will feel your blood on my hands when the time comes, little okami." He told
her lifeless body.
He turned and strode angrily out of the room.
It was dark when Kaida rose. She looked out the window frantically. She had
maybe and hour or so till the Time. She looked around panicked.
What was she going to do?!
It was then that she felt it. The energies of her friends.
Her eyes glowed purple and in her minds eye, she saw them.
Hiei, Kuwabara, Yusuke and Kurama.
Just walking up to the front door!!!!
She retracted back into reality without a word to them, she had nothing helpful to tell
them.
Please be careful.
she mentally begged.
"It is almost time, Shiin." Called the Shadow Man from his chamber. "Let us go
inform the prisoner."
"Yes my lord." Intoned Shiin.
He was going to enjoy this.
A/N: Sorry about the long update time, everyone. I was really busy and I went to Washington D.C. and...oh, you don't care. Just review, k? Ja!!
