Reviewers:
Donamarine:Yep the kids are back on track. I hope that it wasn't too mushy for you. The demon is definitely shining through. I know you said that it wasn't but I was still worried. That was definitely a supreme compliment coming from you. I know that you've updated but I can't find the story on FF. But don't worry I will! I think Yusuke was just trying to get through to Keiko. They are both way too stubborn. As for Annie: isn't she so cute?
Rose Angelz: Aren't they so cute together. They are most definitely my favorite Anime couple. We'll have to see about Annie :P
Silver Eyes Bright: I totally agree with no sex before marriage. Hopefully this chapter will make you feel a bit better. But the scene just seemed to work out that way. Thanks for pointing out all the mistakes I made. Sometimes I read the chapter so many times I start to see what I want rather than what is there. I'm thrilled beyond belief that you thought it was beautiful! I worried about Yusuke's plea but it seemed to fit his attitude towards Keiko.
GreenEyedFloozy:Major Fluffiness! Got to love it! They are way way too cute together and beyond sweet.
Apathetic Empath: Now that was a review! You completely blew me away again! You had me blushing and laughing at the same time. You are way too sweet to me! I understand completely about Yusuke and Keiko in the rain. I know it was a bit rough but I wanted that over perfection. I thought that it fit the two of them better than something I rewrote over and over again. The rawness just seemed to go with the story. I am sorry if you felt that it didn't work out as well. The tempest was the perfect title for lots of reasons. Especially with the emotions that were stirred up. The hand holding was a burst of genius; completely natural for the two of them. The smack was great wasn't it? I worked really hard on how to make Keiko go with him. I really wanted to convey that there was no way he was going to leave her behind this time. The habit comment was great wasn't it? Way too many stories make them seem like that only. I wanted that kick to the stomach, to make him think. As for the rain and make out scene, that was a gift from the writing god. Unbelievable hot and consuming. But it seemed to fit them both so well. With Annie, I really worried that she was going to take over. But she definitely took a step back in this chapter. Keiko and Yusuke just flowed right back to the foreground and took center stage. I'm glad that you think it is working. I'm glad that you enjoyed it the second time through. The fact that it flowed so evenly through the chapters is fantastic! That's why I wrote the story!
Domie(): I am really trying to do my best. But I did get that nasty flu that is going around. I spent more time praying that the room would quit spinning.
Escptheshdw835:It was good huh? I'm glad that you thought so! The make up was a long time coming. I'm blushing furiously. Thanks for the compliment.
BabyBlueBlitz: Welcome! Deform has long hair.
Kenshinlover2002: Back togetheragain! JOY! He's a half demon that's Enma's problem. He's been trying to kill Yusuke since he discovered that. I hope so!
AnnechanB:I'm thrilled that you thought so! I'm sure that Keiko will make him explain when everything starts to calm down. As for the mating; still working out the kinks.
Silverjazz:Definitely a compliment! I'm thrilled that the plot and the character depth came through so clearly! It was one of my fears that I wasn't going deep enough. Probably!
Kelly( ): I'll do my best. Writers block and wanting to over do the chapter. Plus I got sick. I hope that this was worth the wait.
Chapter 14: The beginning of the EndGenkai turned away from the temple and disappeared into the shadows. The storm was beginning to break up, the rain slowing down with only an occasional strike of thunder and lightening. Genkai stared into the thick black clouds and knew that she wouldn't follow Annie. This was Annie's battle and the price would be high. However powerful Annie was there were many trolls and the elite guard to get through before ever facing Enma.
Genkai jumped upwards through a tree, her legs easily moving her upwards. When she finally reached the top of the tree she stared off into the distant. Just beyond the hills there was a stream of sunlight; the sun beginning to peak through the heavy clouds. Genkai settled back to wait a couple of hours. She knew that if she went into the temple now, everyone would rush after Annie and Genkai couldn't allow that. As long as she was out here they would assume that her and Annie were still fighting. While she knew she couldn't fool them forever, she was determined to buy Annie at least a couple of hours.
As she stared into the lighter clouds in the distance she sent up a small prayer. Please let her find the peace that she is looking for.
Yusuke couldn't look away from Keiko. She was sleeping soundly; her head turned towards him, breath warming his skin. Her brown hair was dry now and was spread across his pillow. Her breasts rose and fell easily beneath his shirt, Yusuke's hand resting on her stomach. Keiko's body was snuggled against his, her legs entwining with his beneath the cover.
Yusuke knew that a bruise was forming over one eye; he could feel the heat and the ache. But he didn't regret getting it. While Keiko hadn't been happy with the way he had torn her shirt off of her he had been. There was something primitive about his need for Keiko and he wanted to make her his in everyway. But Keiko had refused. She wasn't about to do anything when they were so young and without marriage.
Yusuke couldn't help but agree. He wanted Keiko tied to him in everyway there was. From a ring on her finger to a mark that would show everyone she was his and he was hers. Yusuke wasn't sure why this was so important but a part of him demanded that he mark her. So far he had managed to refrain himself. Mostly because he knew that Keiko would beat him into next Tuesday if he didn't.
A roll of thunder brought Yusuke's head up. He wondered how the fight between Genkai and Annie was going. Neither one had returned since they had disappeared in the shadows hours ago. A frown touched Yusuke's face. Now that he thought about it, it had been too long. One of them should have come back. They weren't fighting to the death or anything like that so it should have ended. So why hadn't they returned?
Yusuke almost got up, almost went looking for them but Keiko suddenly stirred. He turned brilliant hazel eyes to her and fell into her sleepy chocolate ones. There was a contentment there he had never seen before. His hand wrapped around her, pulling her closer. His head dipped down and captured her lips. Everything else could wait. Nothing was more important than the woman currently in his arms.
"They haven't come back yet," Koenma noted as he stared out into the disappearing darkness. The storm had almost cleared up and the sun was slowly beginning to spread its light across the sky.
"Perhaps it's taking longer because neither one is going for death," Botan proposed from beside Kurama.
"I don't think so," Kurama replied as he stared out into the dawn. "I think its been over for a while."
"But why wouldn't they come back to the temple?" Botan asked impatiently.
"Perhaps because Genkai doesn't want us to go charging in?" Keonma offered, shrugging his shoulders.
"Why would we?"
"Because Annie isn't going to stop here. She has to go to King Enma," Hiei told Botan gruffly. "He attacked and could have injured her daughter. If he did cause the death of Cassie's father then Annie isn't about to give him another chance."
"So you're saying that Annie went after King Enma?" Botan's voice rose anxiously and her disbelieving eyes met each of theirs. "But why wouldn't Genkai come back here?"
"Who knows?" Keonma shrugged his shoulders.
"We should go look for them," Kurama decided.
Enma sat on his throne and contemplated the storm raging outside. He knew that his attempt had failed and that Annie would not rest until she had faced him. He wondered why he had tried to attack her again. He knew better than most what could happen when Annie got upset. Of course, she hadn't always been Annie. No all those years ago she had been someone else. But then so had he.
Where had it gone wrong? What should he have done differently? When had he lost sight of what was important? She had given him the ultimate gift years ago and he had destroyed her time and time again. As lightening suddenly struck his balcony Enma knew that Annie was warning him. He knew that one of them would die before this was over.
"Your Highness," a voice called from behind him.
"Yes," Enma turned and faced the leader of his elite guard.
"The palace is under the attack!"
"I know," Enma replied and turned back towards the balcony.
"Your highness, I don't understand."
"Never mind. How many are there?"
"Just one."
"I guess she left the children at home," Enma mused.
"Your highness?"
"Nothing. Prepare for battle," Enma ordered over his shoulder and crossed his arms behind his back.
"Yes!"
"One more thing."
"Yes?" The man turned back towards King Enma.
"I want to thank you for your loyalty."
A frown crossed the man's face before he bowed deeply and silently left the room. King Enma was left alone in his throne room contemplating the mistakes a man in love would make.
It was mid day before the gang returned to the temple. They had been unable to find either Annie or Genkai. Of course Genkai knew this mountain better than anyone else and she could avoid them for days.
"Hey guys," Yusuke called. They looked up to see Yusuke standing in the doorway, one shoulder leaning against the frame. "Where is everyone?" He asked as he looked around. "I couldn't find Grandma anywhere."
"Hello Yusuke," Kurama greeted and looked over the young spirit detective. "You look better."
"Yea. I guess I do," Yusuke replied with a laugh and rubbed a hand through his hair. "Keiko and I worked everything out."
"That's great Yusuke," Kurama responded quietly. He paused for a moment wondering how to tell him that they couldn't find Genkai or Annie.
"Hey Urameshi!" Kuwabara broke in, shoving his way to the front. "Genkai and that Annie woman have gone missing!"
"What!" Yusuke straightened and grabbed Kuwabara's shirt pulling him off of his feet. "What do you mean missing?"
"They aren't here!" Kuwabara pulled on Yusuke's wrist and cursed under his breath. "Let go Urameshi! Why do you keep grabbing at my clothes?" They two continued to argue, trading insults back and forth before a movement behind Yusuke caught Kuwabara's attention.
A hand stretched out of the darkness and grabbed Yusuke by the ear, pulling him away from Kuwabara.
"Let go! Oww! Dammit that hurts!" Yusuke screamed and tried to get his ear away from the hand tugging at it.
"I don't care Yusuke," Keiko responded calmly and pulled him around. She pressed a quick kiss to his lips before letting him go. "You should listen before you start demanding answers," she continued softly. Her chocolate brown eyes warm as they met his. "Now apologize."
"I'm sorry," Yusuke replied obediently. His eyes locked on hers enjoying the love and warmth in them. It had been too long since he had seen her eyes without the sadness. "That's better," Keiko smiled at him and pressed another kiss to his lips. "Now Koenma," she started. "What is going on?"
"I wish I knew Keiko," Keonma responded his dark eyes pensive. "We can't find Annie or Genkai." He shrugged and looked at her, "could it be perfectly innocent? Yes. But do I think it is? No."
"So you think that Annie killed Genkai?" Keiko asked.
"No. We would know if either one had died," Kurama told her. "We think that Annie won and Genkai hasn't come back to give her time."
"So Annie has gone to confront King Enma by herself?"
"That's what we think."
"Well what are we going to do?"
"Wait here," Genkai's voice told her harshly.
"Genkai!" Everyone called at once, turning to look at the elderly woman.
"We have no business getting involved with this," Genkai continued. Her eyes held Keiko's. "We would cause more harm than good. Unfortunately this is between Enma and Annie."
"I can't just leave my father to die!" Keonma protested.
"I'm afraid that you is exactly what you must do," Genkai responded calmly. "Enma has brought this on himself. We have no right to interfere."
"I won't accept that!" Koenma shouted at her. "There has to be something that we can do."
"No there isn't. Some things we just have to accept," Genkai turned and looked out into the bright sunshine of the day. "I am afraid that this is out of our hands."
Annie hovered in the air above Enma's palace and idly watched as lightening struck at the elite guard. Screams filled the air as one by one the fighters fell without coming close to her. The dark cloud billowed around her, lightening surround her and thunder continued to sound in the air. A small smile touched her lips as another wave of the Elite guard rushed out to meet her.
Distantly she wondered if all of this bloodshed was going to be worth it. And then she remembered that Enma had destroyed Justin and had come after her child. No mercy would be given or offered this time. Her hand tightened around the golden staff in her hands and she took comfort in the warmth pulsing against her hand. Her eyes flashed silver as more power surged through her.
She took a deep breath and concentrated. Slowly she could feel the power beginning to build within her and around her. Her eyes fluttered closed and she began to glow. It was time to begin. May my God forgive me for what I am going to do.
A/N:I bet you thought that I had quit writing huh? Nope, we are getting closer to the end and I really don't want to over do it. I know this was short but I wanted to wrap up a few things. The next chapter will probably be the last. Let me know if the wait was worth it. So hit the button and review.
