Chapter Four
The sound of crackling wood in a fire came to Hana first, as she regained senses. "Kurama...?"
"Hardly" A female voice echoed through the giant room.
"Where...What..." Hana sat up rubbing the bump on her head.
"We're in Demon World."
"Who are you?"
"I'm Zara." She walked from the shadows. "I'm also an extremely good bounty hunter."
Hana stared at her. /Not again./
Botan and Alesia ran into Koenma's office.
"Sir there's been another disturbance." Alesia said.
"Get Yusuke and the others. We need to know what they want and who they are."
They nodded.
"Kurama!" Makoto banged on his room door.
"Hey easy there. What's wrong?" Kurama answered
Makoto took a few breaths. "Is Hana in there?"
"No why?"
"She didn't come home last night."
"What do you mean?"
"Someone took her. She's missing."
"Calm down I'm sure she's around."
They walked down to the living room. Suddenly the door bell rang.
Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei, Setsuna, Botan and Alesia stood.
"Come in." Kurama offered.
"There's been a disturbance." Setsuna said.
"Yea you'll have to go without me."
"What? No." Yusuke stated. "Why."
"Someone took my sister." Makoto said in frustration.
"That's why we're here." Botan said. "We know sort of to why they took her."
"They're bounty hunters, skilled ones. It's going to be hard to track them." Alesia rose her opinion.
"On no. Is it Baedden?" Makoto held worry.
"Baedden as been in hidout for the past year."
Kurama turned to the strange girl. "Who are you?"
"I'm Alesia. Botan's assistant."
"Don't sound thrilled about it." Yusuke muttered.
"Can we start from the beginnig." Kurama sat. He was angry with himself for letting this happen.
"How are you feeling Hana, or should I say Laylen?"
She opened her blue eyes. "Who are you?"
"That doesn't matter."
"What do you want?"
"You ask a lot of questions."
Laylen smirked. "It's only been two."
The unknown demon considered it. "Alright. You're our bait."
"For what?"
"That's three questions. Besides I don't like revealing plans to...well you." The demon stayed in the shadows of the room.
Laylen closed her eyes, tail beat with annoyance. "When are you going to let me go?"
A hand reached for her hand, taking the ring that Kurama gave her off. "Were not letting you go." It was Zara. "Thanks." She punched Laylen in the face. Knocking the breath out of the kitsune. Zara pulled out a needle and put it in Laylen's arm. "This will do too. Thanks again." She walked out, followed by the other youki.
Laylen groaned from now another attack. /Darn these shady demons./ She wiped blood from her lip.
Oh evil people. I wonder what they are going to do with Hana's ring and blood? We'll just have to wait until next chapter.
