A Fall of Okkoto
Chapter 6
The Attack
Silence, yuck. Yusuke absolutely hated the silence, and that's exactly what the group of five was walking in. They had been walking for a little over an hour, and no one had said a word since the clearing. Well it wasn't completely silent, he could hear footsteps, and tree branches cracking underneath them, he could hear Kuwabara breathing heavily, and whispering coming from Hiei and Kurama. Yusuke sighed looking behind him at the two, they were always talking quietly to each other. Yusuke almost felt jealous at the bond they shared, he wanted someone that he could talk to, and tell his deepest darkest secrets to. He looked next to him at Kuwabara. He couldn't talk to Kuwabara because he had such a big mouth. Yusuke sighed; he wanted the silence to end.
"How big is this forest, we have been walking in it for almost two days now?" He called to Sonna who was scouting ahead, a job that Hiei usually did, but since Hiei did not know where he was going he couldn't lead.
"We will reach the village in about 20 min." She said without even turning around to face him.
"Village?" Kuwabara asked exasperatedly, "I thought this Okkoto guy had a fortress?"
"He does, but we will need rest before continuing. We can get rest at the village." Her orange braid moved slightly in the wind as she continued to walk.
With nothing more needed to be said on the subject the silence started again. Yusuke was thinking of something they could do and then it hit him. "99 bottles of sake on the wall, 99 bottles of sake! Take one down pass it around 98 bottles of sake on the wall!" Yusuke sang quietly at first but then he got louder. "98 bottles of sake on the wall, 98 bottles of sake! Take one down pass it around 97 bottles of sake on the wall!"
Kuwabara gave his leader a weird look before joining in the singing as well, "97 bottles of sake on the wall, 97 bottles of sake! Take one down pass it around 96 bottles of sake on the wall!"
"Will you shut up?" Hiei growled from behind them.
"Oh come on Hiei there just having some fun." Kurama said amusedly, and then he joined in the next round, "96 bottles of sake on the wall, 96 bottles of sake! Take one down pass it around 95 bottles of sake on the wall!"
All three of the boys were singing more loudly now, for the first time since they left for mission they were able to have fun. "95 bottles of sake on the wall, 95 bottles of sake! Take one down pass it around 94 bottles of sake on the wall! 94 bottles of sake on the wall, 94 bottles of sake! Take one down pass it around 93 bottles of sake on the wall!"
Hiei slapped his face with his hand as they continued singing. How did I ever come to befriend these idiots? He thought. Hiei was just about to kill one of them when he felt it. A demon was nearby and coming closer.
"Duck!" Sonna yelled from the front of the group as an arrow came whizzing past them all.
"What!" Yusuke yelled angrily as they all looked up to find where the arrow had come from. There was a demon sitting in a tree above them, he was small and agile looking but from the feels of it he wasn't very strong. "Ha! You think you can beat us with one little arrow?" Yusuke shouted confidently.
All of a sudden they heard footsteps, breathing, and laughing all around them. Demons of every shape and size started to step out from the trees. They weren't very strong, probably high B lower A class, but there were so many of them.
"Hahah! And you think you can beat us with three measly humans and two demon traitors (they can't sense that Kurama is a demon because they are either two stupid or weaker than the Reikai Tantei thought). Ha! You make me laugh!" The demon that had spoken moved out in front of the Reikai Tantei. He wasn't as big as some of the other demons but looked more intelligent, and stronger then them. He was no doubt the demons leader.
"Who are you?" Kurama asked as his hand inched up to his hair dangerously.
"I am Lord Grat, leader of this unholy forest." All of the demons around him cheered and roared hungrily.
Kurama looked around the clearing mentally taking notes of the different demons and their ki signatures. There were about 20 demons besides Grat that made 4 for each of them.
"All right guys, when I say go, split and start killing." Yusuke whispered to them. "Ready? Go!" Yusuke shouted as he charged forward towards the leader. He was stopped by three big, ugly demons. One of them swung their giant club at Yusuke's head, which Yusuke ducked, and then he kicked his foot out, tripping one of the demons. The other two growled angrily and charged at Yusuke.
Kuwabara stood in the middle of a circle of four demons. He had his sprit sword out and was waiting for one of the demons to make the first move. The biggest demon in the circle stepped forward and swiped his long claws at Kuwabara. Kuwabara jumped up and brought his sword down cutting the demon in half. At the sight of the fallen demon the other three in the circle charged at the weak human.
Kurama snapped his whip as another demons head was sliced off of its shoulders. The fox stepped forward towards the demon closest to him. The demon ran forward and tried to stab Kurama with its dagger; however, Kurama dodged the weak attack and brought his whip around in a graceful arc towards the demon's torso.
Hiei was running through the large demon crowd slashing his sword at random demons. He felt the sudden rush of adrenaline when his sword sliced through the demon flesh. Hiei was in mid jump when another demon got in his way. He landed on the soft ground in front of the demon. He growled angrily and pointed his sword at the demons heart threateningly. To his surprise the demon pulled out a short sword from one of his belts. So if it is a sword match he wants, then a sword match he'll get, Hiei thought to himself before charging at the demon.
Sonna dodged another attack; she was caught in the middle of two demons that were swiping at her with axes. The two demons were grinning, and licking their lips hungrily as they cornered her against a large tree.
"We got you," the first one hissed. He brought down his ax. In a blink of an eye Sonna had her two daggers out, blocking the attack from reaching her.
"I think not." She brought her foot up and kicked him hard in the torso, sending him flying against a tree.
Kuwabara stood, breathing heavily as he looked down at the corpses around his feet. He had killed two out of the four demons. Hiei killed the other two on his way through. Stupid shrimp can't even let me fight my own fight, Kuwabara thought unhappily as he looked around for more demons.
To his left he saw Yusuke stuck in a fistfight with an ugly, green demon that was covered in warts. A little ways behind him Kurama was gracefully dodging attacks from three demons, who were trying to kill him. Hiei was still in a sword fight with another demon, and Sonna was 'playing' with two others. They were all stuck in their own little fights, except for himself.
"Looking for someone to fight, human?"
Kuwabara squinted at the figure that had appeared in front of him. The demon had thick, red hair, piercing yellow eyes, and a muscular chest covered in brown hair. He looked like an ape wearing brown pants and no shirt. It was the demon leader, Grat.
"Perhaps you can enlighten me?" Grat grinned as he walked forward grabbing a sword from his belt.
"Bring it on, ugly!" Kuwabara summoned his spirit sword and held it out in front of him in a defensive stance.
"Are you calling me ugly? Ha! Have you ever seen a mirror?" Grat laughed menacingly as he continued to walk forward.
"Why you!" Kuwabara leapt forward in a blinding rage. Kuwabara swung his sword ever which way at the demon, but Grat would always block his attack with his own metal sword. The two continued fighting this way for what seemed like an eternity.
"Had enough, human?" Grat blocked another jab from Kuwabara's energy sword. Instead of blocking the next attack, Grat jumped back and brought his fist back. He took Kuwabara by surprise as he brought his arm forward in a strong blow to Kuwabara's stomach. Kuwabara groaned and fell to the ground only to be met by more blows, this time to his head. Kuwabara was on the brink of consciousness as Grat jumped back from his beating. Groaning Kuwabara tried to stand up, but he found his legs would not obey him. "Don't worry, human. I will end your pain." Kuwabara looked up at Grat, who now had his sword above his head and was preparing to strike the defenseless Kuwabara.
Kuwabara gasped, this couldn't be the end for him it couldn't be, he thought as he looked around at his friends. Yusuke and Kurama were too far away from him, and Hiei was still stuck in a fight of his own. Sonna was the closest one to him but she was to busy killing another demon, and Kuwabara couldn't help but think that she would never risk her life for a human. Grat brought the sword down in a quick motion, I'm sorry Yukina, Kuwabara thought sadly as he brought his hands above his head preparing for the blow.
"Kuwabara!" Yusuke screamed just as he let out a spirit gun at the ugly demon, instantly killing it. Yusuke tried to run but he knew that he wouldn't make it in time.
Kurama looked up sadly, he's not going to make it he thought to himself.
Hiei pushed his sword into the demon that he had been fighting's heart. He looked up just in time to see the blade come down.
Sonna finished off the last of the demons, pulling her blades from the demon's body she saw the mess Kuwabara was in, and ran hoping to reach him in time.
I'm sorry Yukina, Kuwabara thought as he shut his eyes hoping that it would not hurt.
"Ha! Die human!"
Kuwabara winced waiting for the blow, but it never came. He opened his eyes slowly looking up he saw the back of a woman in front of him. She had long orange hair that was pulled back into a braid and soft pale skin. It was Sonna; she had saved him from death.
"Sonna?" Kuwabara was in shock. She, a demon, had saved him, a human. Why? Kuwabara thought puzzled.
"Traitor! You saved this no good human!" Grat fumed, after calming down a bit from the shock, he grinned, "I guess it doesn't matter, you are not unscathed."
"What?" Kuwabara looked more closely at her. The sword that had been intended for Kuwabara's heart was drove into Sonna's shoulder.
Sonna looked up at Grat with unwavering anger in her eyes. The blood from the wound splashed down onto the ground. Grat looked down at her arrogantly as if daring her to attack him.
Sonna's eyes turned into an icy, blue, cold stare. She concentrated her energy towards the demon. Grat's mouth gaped open as he started to feel colder, and colder. His feet were completely frozen and the ice was climbing swiftly up his body. He tried to move but his torso and arms were now frozen, the only thing that wasn't was his head.
"Proceed to hell." Sonna growled as she punched his body with all the strength she could muster. His whole body shattered except his head, which she kicked as far as she could into the dark forest.
Yusuke walked over to Kuwabara and helped him to his feet. Kurama walked over pulling few herbs out of his hair, and Hiei sheathed his sword as he joined the group as well.
"Way to go Sonna." Yusuke whispered to her, as if in his own way saying 'thank you' to her for saving his friend's life.
"Here, we have to get the sword out before it gets infected." Kurama said walking over to her and placing a hand on the sword, causing Sonna to wince in pain.
"I'll do it." Hiei said to everyone's surprise including Sonna's. "You help the fool." Hiei said motioning to Kuwabara.
"Right." Kurama said walking over to the humans with his herbs.
Hiei gripped the hilt of the sword with both of his hands. "It will hurt."
"Do it." Sonna said through gritted teeth, the pain was unbearable.
Hiei stood there unmoving, and then all of a sudden he pulled the sword out of her shoulder. She screamed painfully and gripped her shoulder as pools of blood began to flow from the gaping wound.
"We have to get you to help."
"I'll be fine."
"Don't be stupid."
"Hey guys, look." Yusuke pointed through the trees, "I can see it, the village."
"Let's hurry then." Kurama said helping Kuwabara to his feet.
Hiei grabbed his cloak off and wrapped it quickly around Sonna's shoulder. The both of them stood and proceeded to follow the others quickly towards the village.
TBC-
I know Sonna, is a water demon, the fact that she could use ice will be explained later.
I hope the singing wasnt to corny.
