From Another World
Chapter four
The angelic battle
"Hello Gabriel. You finally figured it out eh?" Len asked and took out his flaming sword.
"Len, where's Alia." Gabriel said taking out his sword.
Len and Gabriel were walking in a big circle not once letting the other out his sight. "Why should I tell you?" Len said.
Gabriel then ran right up to Len, tried to hit Len, but he blocked the attack with his sword.
Len was able to push Gabriel away and cut Gabriel in chest. Gabriel returned with a slash across Len's face.
"Why did you turn against the master?" Gabriel asked as Len blocked his attack and then pushed Gabriel away with a blast of fire and ice.
"I wanted to." Len answered.
"Where's Alia?" Gabriel yelled as his and Len's swords clanged together. Just then Nick and their protectors came in and then they all heard Alia scream in pain.
This distracted Gabriel letting Len hit him with another blast of fire and ice. Gabriel flew into a wall, but immediately got right back up, his sword at the ready. "Nick you and the others go and find Alia! I'll hold him off as long as I can." Gabriel shot an order at Nick.
Nick just kinda stood there not wanting to leave his friend, trying to ignore the voice in his head telling him to leave. Len's and Gabriel's swords clanged together once more and Gabriel slashed at Len, but missing.
"Nick go...Now!" Gabriel said as he and Len kept on fighting. Nick then took out his sword and hit the unsuspecting Len in the back. "Sorry Gabriel not this time. We're a team and you need help." Nick said as Len took out another sword to fight with.
"I could always count on you." Gabriel said as he and Nick attacked at the same time. "Kurama you and the others go find my sister!" Gabriel said.
Kurama nodded and exited the room with the others.
The room they had entered was used to pack the candles up in boxes. There were stairs at the other end of the small room. The room was lit by one candle, but it was still kinda dark and a little creepy. They then heard a voice that said "So these are the protectors…three demons and one human. Witch ones should we eat first?" The voice seemed to come from all around them.
Then a sticky silk type thing shot out and wrapped around Kuwabara. The impact of the silk made him drop to the floor. The silk was as strong as steal and a white color. "The human looks like a good meal." Another voice different from the first one said.
The silk wrapped around Kuwabara's whole body only leaving his head showing. Yusuke tried to get it off of him, but it was no good.
Hiei tried to use his sword cut off the silk strands, but it only ended up dulling the blade.
Yusuke then tried a new attack that he called the spirit lazar. It was able to cut it but slowly.
Then another one came out of nowhere, hit Yusuke and knocked him off to the side.
"You evil little demons, trying to take our meals away. We'll just have to teach you lesson. Won't we Shen." The first voice said coming out of the shadows. She had long red hair and wore all black. She also had four arms on both sides.
"Yes we will have to teach them some manners Thakra (Tha-ck-ra)." The second voice said also coming out of the shadows. He had short dark brown hair and wore an all dark brown outfit. Also he had four arms on each side as well. Hiei and Kurama got ready to fight. Kuwabara's face was turning a bit pale, but Yusuke looked fine.
"The humans almost ready to eat. The venom has almost killed him." The one now identified as Thakra said.
"Is there a known antidote?" Kurama asked.
"Yess, but we won't tell you. So you can take away our meals? He is near death anywayss." The one identified as Shen said.
"Defeat us and we might tell you. Just to worn you your friends will be dead by that time." Thakra said and shot a look at Shen. Shen nodded back and they both ran toward Hiei and Kurama. They were both able to doge the attackers and took out their respective weapons. Kurama, his traditional rose whip, and Hiei, his fire sword with his Jagen eye.
Shen was fighting Kurama and Thakra was fighting Hiei. Yusuke's face had just started to turn a little pale and he could feel the venom starting to work. Shen was very good at dogging Kurama's Rose whip and had already punch Kurama once.
Thakra on the other hand had a little trouble dogging Hiei's sword though. She had some cuts and was bleeding badly. Thakra was soon killed by Hiei stabbing her in the back with his sword. Hiei then went to help Kurama. With Hiei's help they were able to defeat Shen.
Kurama walked up to Shen; who was still breathing, but on the ground. Kurama walked over to him and asked "What is the antidote?"
At this time Kuwabara was barely breathing, almost dead, and unconscious and Yusuke's face was completely white, but could still take breaths.
"The antidote is…they have to drink the blood of a fire demon…" That was the last thing Shen said because he died right at that moment.
"Hiei I hate to do this to you, but they shouldn't die at this moment." Kurama said to him.
Hiei nodded reluctantly. He walked over to the two on the ground cut his hand and let some blood into the baka's mouth. Then he turned to Yusuke; who hadn't fallen unconscious...as of yet.
He did the same for Yusuke. Yusuke almost got sick from the taste. Color returned to both of their faces. Yusuke was able to get him and Kuwabara out of the silk thing, by using his spirit lazar and Kurama bandaged Hiei's hand. Kuwabara was still out cold and so Yusuke volunteered to stay with him until he awoke.
Hiei and Kurama then made there way up the stairs to the next level. "Race you to the other side!" Kurama said to Hiei. They raced and Hiei won. They entered the other room and saw Alia knocked out on the ground.
Alia had burn marks on her hands and face. Also she seemed to be half in angel form and half in human form. Kurama and Hiei ran up to her. Alia was still breathing. Then her eyes opened and Alia managed to say "Be-behind you!"
