Chapter 10-
Thanks to everyone who has reviewed my fics-
Well this will be interesting as to how a tree will help them get to the main gate. Not to mention that the Dark Realm rulers want them to arrive but are to arrogant to know that Yusuke and his group are already there.I promise there is action in this chapter. Guarantee it.
Yutsuki: Nope not this one.
Kuwabara: Hurry up we don't have a lot of time.
Yutsuki taps on another tree.
Yutsuki: Here we go.
She pulls out what appears to be a long vine from the tree.
Yusuke: No offense but we're not exactlly Tarzan.
Yutsuki: Come on.
She kicks open a part of the tree. She grabs the vine and slides down.
Yutsuki: Come on down. Trust me.
Koenma: Should we trust her.
Kurama: We have no other alternative.
Kurama follows immediatly after. As he slides it looks as if he is passing windows of familiar rooms. He hits the ground looking in every direction and sees nothing but Yutsuki.
Kurama: Come on.
The others all follow obedeintly.
Yutsuki: This way.
They walk for about ten minutes then suddenly,
Yutsuki: Hit the dirt and hold your breath.
Everyone drops holding their breath. At first they are all confused, then she points up at the ceiling. Everyone nearly screams as they see horrific figures with the head of a snake and the body of a rat. They are all drenched in blood but each has only one eye. After about 30 seconds, they scatter away.
Yustuki: Alright, you can relax.
Kuwabara: What were those things?
Yutsuki: Spies for the castle that kill first and then bring back the bodies. They can't see because they only have one eye, but if you breathe they will feel the heat and you'll be dead in a flash.
Yusuke: How many of those things are there?
Yutsuki: Hundreds, but they are the least of our problems.
Shizure: Why?
Yutsuki: If those were the worst you can think excists in this place than you won't have a word to describe what guards the entrance. This monster never sleeps, never needs to eat, it just kills. It is the body of a dragon with the head and tail of a scorpion. It feeds on only what comes into its domain. The only way around it is to get in while it's got its back to you.
Kurama: Will we encounter anything else on the way?
Yutsuki: Undoubtably.
Yusuke: Well that's great news.
Yutsuki: More than likely royal guards and more Kori.
Yusuke: What?
Yutsuki: What you just saw are called Kori.
Koenma: Does the creature who guards the passage way have a name?
Yutsuki:No.
Yusuke: Nice name.
Yutsuki: No, it doesn't have a name. Let's go.
They continue to walk. At first Kurama thinks he is hearing things but then it grows to a dull mumble.
Yutsuki: Guards!!!
Out of nowhere the same beasts they had encountered outside begin to attack them. One grabs Shizuru's legs out from under her and another one grabs her arms as they begin to stretch her out.
Koenma: Shizuru!!
Koenma grabs a rock and begins to fiercly pound on their hands and head managing to knock one of them out. The other knocks out Shizuru and kicks her next to a wall.
Demon: You'll pay for that pretty boy.
The demon is charging straight for him when suddenly his whole world goes black and he feels a sharp pain on the back of his head as he is still half concious. A sharp pain fills his lower back as he too is kicked next to the wall with little knowledge with what is going on around him.
Meanwhile, Yusuke is power punching about 10 guards, killing 9 and leaving 1 wounded. Kurama is having no trouble killing at least 20 guards alone. Yutsuki took out about 20 herself.
Yusuke: Round two goes to the good guys.
???: Aren't you forgetting me?
Yusuke turns around only to recieve a direct hit in the face by a huge rock fist.
Yusuke: I killed you!!
Demon: No you only wounded me. Now I am even stronger after regenerating. You cannot.....
He suddenly lets out a howl of pain. The tip of a blade can been seen as the rest of it makes it's way to the front of the guard.
Yutsuki: You palace guards are all talk but no action. You're all a disgrace.
Yusuke: Thanks.
Kurama: Shizuru? Koenma?
Koenma: I'm fine, but Shizuru.
Kurama hurries over to Shizuru.
Kurama: Shizuru? Can you hear me?
No response.
Yusuke: Shizuru? I told you this was to dangerous for you. You should have stayed home and waited there safe and sound. This is no place for you.
Shizuru(Coughs weakly): Speak for yourself.
Yutsuki: Where is the other one?
Yusuke: Kuwabara?
Squeals can be heard under a pile of corpses. Yusuke shoves the bodies off.
Kuwabara: Is the fight over?
Yusuke: Yeah you dumb ninnie, you missed the whole thing.
Yutsukie: You're dead wrong Yusuke, it is only just beginning.
I hope that, that was enough to begin to fill your action need. There is still much more to come though. How can they think that they will be able to get to the gates alive? You think that the royals know of there arrival? Guess you'll have to keep reading and find out.
