Tears of Amethyst

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Youko woke up and sighed. His wounds had healed over and he was still wondering about the cave. What was inside? He pondered this over until he convinced himself that it was some type of demon.
"Hello?" He called through the stone. Nothing. He did get a tingling feeling all over his body. It was weird. He pressed his ear against the stone and listened. Nothing. The stone was oddly cold for mid-summer. He shivered when he got to a certain point in examining. He slowly walked around it for about an hour, looking for something that he could pull out on or something. He then climbed up and looked at the top. He found an ancient ofuda. He then saw a small barrier around it. He smiled evilly. This was going to be so much fun. He had dealt with these before and knew that there were certain incantations to say. He then looked around it.
For about two more hours Youko searched until he found it. Reading it aloud to himself, he memorized it. He thought it would be somewhere near the ofuda but he was wrong. It was down in his crevice, written where no one would find it. In the small spot where he had sat down. It wasn't a long spell, but it was kind of confusing to read and say correctly. Climbing back up, he sat down and thought about it. He pieced it all together and decided that he would do it later on tonight, under the stars and the moon. So, he sat and waited until he felt it start to rain. Wonderful.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuusuke looked out the window and twitched. Every once in a while he would get a chill. It seemed as though no one else felt it. He saw a girl with long black hair and large blue eyes outside the window on an oar. So Miyoko sensed it too. As soon as the class let out, Yuusuke raced up to the roof and greeted the diety of death.
"Yuusuke, do you sense it?" She asked, her eyes wide. He nodded.
"Whats going on?"
"We don't know but the demons are starting to go wild. They know something is about to happen. I sense it. Something big is going to happen and I don't know whether or not it's going to be good.. I sure hope it is. Only those humans who are in touch with their spirit energy can sense it." She explained. Just then Kuwabara burst through the door.
"Whats goin' on Urameshi? I have the tickle feeling.. real bad.." He noticed Miyoko. "What the--?"
"Kuwabara, you remember Miyoko." Kuwabara's mouth dropped open.
"Its the tickle feeling!" His face turned pale and he clutched his arms with his hands. "Not the tickle feeling.."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuusuke and Kuwabara raced over to Genkai's temple. They burst through the door and Genkai was sitting down, reading an old-looking book.
"What do you want, dimwit?" She growled. He raced over to her and fell on his knees in front of her.
"Whats going on?" She looked up at him.
"Something that wasn't supposed to happen, I suppose." She answered. "I can feel it in the air. Remember, this happened before?" He nodded. "Only that happened to much shorter than this. Something powerful is going to be unleashed. Have you ever heard of this legend?" She pointed to the page she was reading. He saw it and his eyes widened.
"No, but why in hell does it feel so familiar?"
"Always alone.. Never seen.. Never to see anything but the darkness before her.. Amethyst gems produce crystal drops of water.. Constant darkness.. Soft delicate silk brushing along the wet stone.. Fate sealed her.. Legend passes every day.. Years pass and still the very darkness of the air has not shattered.. Never to be released.. Always alone..
Have you ever heard that? I didn't think so." She sighed. "It was a legend about a girl. She was locked up in a cave in Makai. Supposedly, no one could release her. Things have been happening that were not supposed to happen, therefore I stand firmly in belief that it has something to do with this."
"What does it mean that Fate sealed her?"
"She lived long ago and is immortal, just like a demon. Fate thought her too powerful to be anything but a goddess, so she sealed her inside a cave when the girl was young. None know her name and none know what she looks like."
"But, why did Fate seal her if she was that powerful?"
"Because, dimwit, Fate was jealous that a demon had more power than she. Destiny wanted the same so they combined their powers and sealed her forever." Genkai explained. Kuwabara thought that his tickle feeling was getting worse.
"Then how can something release her?" He asked. Yuusuke had been asking all the questions and he wanted her to answer his.
"Only if they are wise in the ways of breaking through ofudas. It's only a sealing spell. Only their power put a very strong barrier around it. If this thief is someone who knows a lot about it then.. I'm afraid that she is about as good as released. There is nothing we can do but wait." She got up and walked outside with the book. She saw that it was starting to get dark and that it was raining. This didn't look good. Something else was also going to happen.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Youko was extremely wet and unhappy. He also had the air of excitement around him. He slowly spoke the words that would release the demon inside the cave.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
No sound was heard inside the cave. The water was extremely calm and ripples formed when slender fingers dipped themselves inside. The whisper was quiet. Suddenly, she sensed something. The whisper was quiet. Something was odd. She felt as if her power was all coming back to her. If she had her powers, then she could break out.
"What is going on?" She wondered, blinking. She felt a slight jolt that almost sent her into the wall. She felt another one, only this one seemed as if it was from the fiery pits of hell. Inside, the cave rocked wildly and sent the demon girl flying to the rocks beneathe her. She saw that all the water was gone and a crack had appeared in the ground. "No.." Her power had almost returned.. "I will not let my freedom be taken for granted again!" Her voice gained power and she started glowing a faint blue. She looked to the entrance of the cave but it wouldn't budge.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Youko felt nothing of the sort. He was just sitting there, waiting for the right moment to open his mouth and speak. Finally, he gave up and started the incantation. A soft blue light closed over the barrier, making it visible for him. So the thing inside wants to get out, he thought. He finished the last word and the barrier completely vanished. He reached over and pulled the ofuda. The soft blue light expanded and went up as far as he could see. Then it spread all over Makai. Everything went silent. His thoughts raced. He felt the power at full now. What the hell had he released?
"Damn!" His words were lost when a silence like nothing he ever experience spread over everything. The eerie calm caused him to shiver from fright. Suddenly, everything returned to normal and the light faded. The rain reached him again and the soft pitter-patter calmed him like he never imagined it would.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuusuke, Kuwabara, Genkai, and Keiko, who had just arrived, watched the sky.
"What are we looking for?" Keiko asked, breaking the silence. Yuusuke was almost thankful. "Are--" He couldn't hear the rest of her sentence because of the eerie silence. It had gotten worse. They couldn't speak. A soft blue light engulfed them and the city. The entire thing was covered with the blue light. No rain was felt, nothing was heard. It seemed as though it lasted forever but it had only lasted for a few moments. Finally, the rain was heard and felt as the blue light faded. "Yuusuke.. what was that?"
"That was her being released." Genkai said with a shake of her head. Miyoko raced toward them and hopped off her oar, becoming visible for Keiko.
"Reikai is a mess! Genkai! What just happened? Yuusuke, did you find out?" She was almost in tears.
"She has been released, Miyoko." Genkai said gloomily. "Makai is probably worse. I am afraid that is the least of our problems. An evil darker than anything that has been faced before is upon us. They are coming, Miyoko, and you know who." Miyoko nodded.
"But Yuusuke can't beat them! Neither can Kuwabara! We have to.. wait.. Who was released?" Genkai sighed and showed the girl the page of the book. Miyoko scanned the contents and her eyes widened in disbelief. "NO! Not her.. Not now.. Genkai, please tell me you're wrong!" The old psychic shook her head.
"I'm afraid not." She sighed again. "The dimwit cannot beat those two enemies. He has only begun his training. Hopefully, it'll work out better than we expect."
"How can it work out?" The ferry girl was so confused.
"You'll see. The dimwit has to go to Makai."
"Who'll escort him? I can't. I'll be swamped with work."
"Wasn't a demon just captured? Hiei, I think his name was, right?"
"Oh, him. What!? He can't be released to escort Yuusuke. There has to be some other way." But she knew Genkai was right. "I'll inform Koenma-sama."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The girl felt her power return and a blast of blue light erupted from her. Her power was complete. She smiled softly and walked over to the boulder that was blocking her in. She gently placed her hand on it and it shook violently, then disintegrated under her power. She then blinked and saw the outside. She placed her hand out and felt the soft rain. Tears ran down her pale cheeks and a smile curved her pink cherry blossom-colored lips. She then walked out and looked around for the person who kept her company for the while, without knowing it. She looked up at the top of the cave and saw him. He was beautiful and handsome.. he had surprisingly beautiful golden eyes, long silver hair, and silver fur-lined fox ears that adorned the top of his head.
"Thank you for releasing me. I have longed for freedom my entire life." He stared at her. She was a truly gorgeous creature. Her long cerulean hair was braided down her back and two strands curled down on each side of her pale face. She had curves in all the right places and two startling eyes that reminded him of his most favorite gem. The amethyst. Her eyes produced small crystalline tears that looked like the gems themselves. She had a musical and enchanting voice that soothed him to no end.
"Who are you?" He blurted out. She smiled. He talked back to her. The first voice she had heard talk to her, other than the whisper that barely had a voice. She let the tears roll down her cheeks as she stood there.
"My name is Botan. Who are you?" She was finally able to talk to someone. She had finally been released.
"I'm Youko Kurama."
