CHAPTER FIVE-ENEMIES

DISSCLAIMER- I do not own the Yu Yu Hakusho cast,or a certain Fire Youkai...:sigh: ;;


Kalli awoke in a strange place. Even more strange than her own home. Sitting up, she relized she was in a white room. The bed sheets, pillows, and walls were all white. Oh great, I knew I would end in one of these loony-bins eventually... Kalli thought sarcastically to herself. She reconsidered her options again and again. If she was being watched, then she couldn't do much to escape. If she were to try, she ran the risk of being seen and captured (or taken to a different type of prison).

A great voice came in on a loud speaker. It craked and buzzed until the words were made clear, "If you have any hopes of being let go, you will do as we say." The speaker cut off and buzzed out. Kalli was confussed, and wanted answers, "And if I refuse? What are your' demands?". She waited for the voice to crack back to life. She was welcomed with only silence. Waiting, Kalli flopped down onto her white bed.

The door opened and a tall man entered the room, he seemed quite determined to get her to cooperate."We will kill you." The man said simply, answering her question. "Oh really? I highly dought you could kill me!". The man laughed. It was a heardy, deeply maniacal voice. Kalli could not make any features out on him, the brightness of thte room blinded her, or mabey the room wasn't bright at all... mabey she just couldn't see. "Oh, but we can, Mrs.Kaiten, we killed your' parents after all...". He smiled, fully aware that Kalli could not see his grin.

"My parents... you... k-killed my parents?". Kalli was no longer speaking. It was Sarah. She was truly angry, for the first time, Sarah was not the usual one to get angry. Anger was Kalli's department. But Sarah... Sarah was outraged. "Thats right little one, we all did. We watched them burn, and we thought we had watched you to. But we were wrong, and now we are going to finish it. Of course, after you do us a little favor, then you wil die." Sarah was silent for a long time, inside, Kalli was screaming to be let out. Kalli was supposed to controll the vessel, and she couldn't understrand how Sarah was doing it, Sarah hadn't been able to controll her own body for ten years.

"YOU-YOU MURDERER! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU, YOU ASS-HOLE!" Sarah had never said a single curse word in her life, but now it felt like the perfect time to start. "HAHAHAHA! Little girl, do you honestly believe you can attampt to stand up to me? Or to any of us for that matter?" The giant of a man laughed his sick laugh and opened his arms as if to say 'Come and get me!'. Sarah took the offer. Charging feircely at the large man, she aimed as best she could, and her forhead began to glow. In a flash of purples and blues,reds and blacks,the room began to focus, the white nothingness became a black everything. The man with the full-hardy laugh lay flat on the floor, smoking and charred. Lifeless. And Sarah, as well as Kalli, felt a great weight lift.


SPIRIT WORLD

"Koenma sir! Did you feel that? A giant burst of energy!" George was so stunned he dropped his papers onto the floor, resulting in a very angry Koenma. "Those... were...my...PAPERS!" George flinched, "B-but Koenma sir, didn't you feel it?" Koenma looked annoyed. "OF COURSE I FELT IT YOU IDIOT! Now get to work and find the source!" George then ran out of the office and Koenma sat at his desk with his head in his hands.

"What have you done, Kalli Kaiten...and you as well Sarah...?" Koenma sat for a long while, not knowing what to do. He knew exactly what was going on, but he dare not say anything yet. He was sure the team suspected him of keeping secrets, and he wasn't so sure he could keep them any longer.

"Koenma,we were unable to locate the source." Botan said as she entered the room. "No real surprise, I will be back. Take care of things while I am gone." Koenma sighed and left the room. "But Koenma,you can't just leave! What about all the paper work?". "Here. It's his stamp pad,the one with the ponies on it!" George was unaware of what was really going on at the moment.

"Fine, I guess I will be in charge then." Botan said with a sence of responsability (as well as a hint of 'power pride') in her voice.


UNKNOWN LOCATION

Kalli walked on in a maze of rooms leading to rooms and entrances leading to dead ends. Checking every room that was in sight, she had all but given up. Picking up speed, as if she were on the familliar rooftops of Sanjiki's central buildings, she zipped from hall to door to hall and back. Every way a dead destination, she soon came to a stop. I feel something strange...ahead of me? Or behind? Where is it coming from...? "Strait ahead." Sarah's voice rang through the halls of their mind. Get lost. I will find them on my own! Sarah didn't want the help of her 'sister', she just wanted out.

Walking in the direction of the strange feeling, Kalli continued to ignore the fact that Sarah could locate it and she could not. As she aproached the end of a hall, she watched a door come into view. "Well, aren't you going to go in?" Ladies first... "Come now, you aren't scarred are you?" Sarah was now poking fun at Kalli, obviously happy with her recent victory. Aproaching the door, Kalli could feel that whatever was there, hadn't been there for long.

Just as she was about to open the door, it opened itself. Revealing a young man, tall and slender. Dressed in a long, red cape, brown hair, and the abreviation 'Jr' on his forehead. "Hello Kalli, I have been waiting for you. I am here to rescue you." The man smiled and offered his hand, "I am Koenma.". "And why should I believe you?" Kalli was on edge, and very sceptical. "Because you don't have much of a choice. You can stay and wonder these halls for a good while, an we both know you won't find an exit. Or you could come with me, through a simple portal, and you could go home to your apartment on Sanjiki corner, and your never ending rooftops."

Kalli took a step back. How could he know where I live? Did those two bakas tell? And who is this guy anyways? Oh, right, he's Koenma... Kalli was thinking to much on the matter to notice as the man sumoned up a portal (I know, he can't really summon portals, just go with me). Without thinking, Kalli let the man grab her arm and pull her through the portal.


SPIRIT WORLD

"Koenma has just returned!". "No way!". "I can't believe he brought her here!". The entire spirit world HQ was buzzing. Ogres and spirits, grim reaper and all. From what was being said, it could only be decided that Koenma had done the unthinkable, he had brought Kalli, the mission, back to spirit world.

As the prince walked up, still pulling Kalli behind him, all went silent. "Kalli, welcome to spirit world. I am Koenma, prince of this land." Koenma was gloting, but no one seemed to mind. "I thought you said I was going home! Take me home now!". Koenma paid no mind to her as he dragged her through the crowd of staring ogres. "If you are not going to take me home, then tell your freaks to stop staring! It's creepy as hell!". "Please calm down. I will take you home, just as soon as we get some information."

Later, in Koenma's office, Kalli sat, she hasn't said a word since she was brought into the large room. "Kalli, you do relize that the more you refuse to talk, the longer you will be here. Just answer a few questions and we will take you home..." Koenma let out a long, stressful sigh. "...I feel like I am being interrigated, so stop buggin me I'll answer you when ever I goddamn feel like it." Kalli finally spoke, but they were not the words the prince wanted to hear. "Very well, I will introduce you to the guys and then show you you'r room. "Room?" Kalli watched as the door opened. In walked two boys. Emediatly, Kalli recognized them as the two from school, and her intruders from the other night.

As soon a Yusuke and Kuwabara walked in and saw Kalli, they flinched, frozen with arms and legs in the air. "YOU TWO?" Kalli screamed. "N-now c'mon... don't look like that...hehheh..." Yusuke and Kuwabara tried to fake a smile infront of their nervous fear. "First, I'm kidnapped, then I'm brought to Spirit World, and now I see you two! Of all people to rat me out! And you Kuwabara, I never thought you would be one to break a promise!" Kalli kept rambling under her breath.

"Wait, how do you know my name? And also, WE DID NOT RAT YOU OUT!" Kuwabara was both confussed and surprised. How did she know his name?

"Lucky guess?" Kalli tried to look innocent, not to raise to many questions. "Nice try, now tell us a story, Kalli." Koenma was looking at the blonde girl with a smile that said 'Now you have no choice but to answer, we've cornered you.' He was all to pleased with himself, Kalli decided. "Fine, I'll tell you."

After a few minutes, Kalli had gathered her thoughts and was now ready to tell her story.

"Okay. I was born in the makai, but was expelled because of my...heritage" Kalli started slowly. She basically told them all thal they already knew, but because of the cercomstances, they had to act like it was all new to them. Sometime during the time Kalli had spent thinking, Heie and Kurama had entered and were introduced without so much as a response from the girl. She hadn't even looked up from the corner, where she sat on the floor, hugging her knees to her chest.

"And thats about it. Nothing speacial. Now can I go home?" The small girl only looked at Koenma, almost afraid to look and see the two who had entered not a clocks hand turn ago. "No, thats not it." All turned now, facing Hiei, who had been the first to talk since she finished her story. "What do you mean?" Kalli looked at Hiei now, confussed and also suspicious. 'His voice..' I know, It's familiar... Kalli and Sarah both pondered the mans words in search of a conection.

"What do you mean Hiei? Answer the question." Koenma was looking at Hiei strangely. Hiei looked at the prince with a smug look, "She left out a very important detail." All eyes were on the small demon, all except for Kalli's, she was looking down at her knees. "Kalli is a forbidden child." Hiei finished simply. Almost happy to let out her little secret. With that statement, Kalli's eyes grew. It's him. 'He is the one from the other night.' Yes, and he will pay for what he said. No one is to give away our secret. The two selves were watching the demon. He was only around tree inches taller than them. "You...you'r the one who came to us that night. You are the...the..." Kalli was fading, Sarah was chanting again. "Notre lace koren, so dumo ne atu! Notre lace koren, so dumo ne atu!" With that, Sarah was in control once again. Staring, the others could only stare. Sarah was staring to, but at Hiei.

"I believe this is your's." Sarah walked over to Hiei, extending her hand, palm open, revealing a small, black jem. "Now I think you should tell me a story."


UNKNOWN LOCATION

"We will find her! She would still be here if that damn Koenma hadn't interfered!" The voice of a man echoed angrily through the white halls. It was not a deap, hardy voice like the giant man from Kalli's last encounter. It was the voice of a young man around eighteen, stern and yet smooth. Not a crack in his words, and a tone that could pull planes from the sky, but as he spoke, he became more angry. As he became more irate, his voice became more entrancing. Soon, all of the demon slaves at his feet began falling one by one, into a deep trance.

"YOU! Search and rescue! Find that girl, she will be brought back here, to the Sacrafact. See to it that she does not see how you enter." The man pointed at an ogre and the green demon dissapeared into nothing. "Master Moshei, Can you not find her yourself? Aren't the two of you connected?" A red ogre asked his master in confussion. "Of course I can. But that retched prince has blocked her from me. The power of the Urameshi team is in the way." Moshei, as the ogre had called him, was now ignoring his followers, wether asleep or awake. He sat in a large office, much like Koenma's, and sat in his own sort of trance. Eyes open, ears closed, mouth shut, and mind focussed. I will find you. I will bring you here, where you will stay for all of eternity.


SPIRIT WORLD

All was quiet again. Hiei had said nothing. Sarah had said nothing. All was quiet. Sarah relized that the boy was not going to talk, and decided to try again another time, "Koenma, I will take my room now, unless you are prepared to take me home."."Of course. Your room is ready. George! Show Kalli to her room." Koenma was screaming for his most loyal ogre. "Sarah.". The girl spoke. "Huh? Sarah?" Koenma was confussed. "Sarah. My name is Sarah. Not Kalli.". "Okay...Sarah, George, show Sarah to her room." Sarah walked out with George leading her. "Well, that was strange. And what was it she gave to you Hiei?" Yusuke had spoken for the first time in a while.

Hiei didn't acknowledge the question. He instead walked out the office door, staring down at the jem in his hand. This jem... isn't mine. This is not my jem, she believes it is, and she thought she was gaving it back. But if it is not mine, then who's is it? "Hiei." The fire youkai was snapped from his thoughts at the sound of Kurama's voice. "She is strange alright. But only to those who do not know the whole story, or at least those who do not understand it. I belive she is much more complicated than she has lead the others to believe, she lied through most of her story, of course it was obvious because we already know the truth. But she thinks we belive her to have told the truth...but still."

"Kurama. You are telling me this why?" Hiei was not interested in his words, and yet he still could not walk away without hearing more. "Well, I guess I just felt like stating the obvious. Or mabey, I have the same suspisions as you. That this girl is in more danger than we thought, or even more than she, herself knows." All was quiet for a moment. "Kurama, I will not be helping Koenma on this mission. I quit. He knows I do not want to asociate with this girl, so I am making it clear. Tell him I said I quit."

Before the fox youkai could say anything, Hiei was gone. Turning back to the office, Kurama let a heafty sigh escape his lips. I do not belive your words Hiei, you will be back.


I suppose by now I'm famous for my cliffhangers, well I hope to do much better from now on. I am working quite hard. Well, bye byes, I will be sure to get another out in a week! Until another day, mabey tomorrow, drown in hopes, and not your sorrow!
