Four Months and Two Weeks later
(Shizuru)
"I just don't get it, why won't she call me back?" Yukina asked frustration and hurt evident in her voice after calling Hikari's home phone for the ninth time this week. "Her answering machine said she would be back a week ago, I'm worried."
"Maybe she decided to extend her vacation," I suggested. "Or maybe she hasn't found the chance to call you back yet."
"Can you drive me to her house? I need to see that she's all right " Yukina pleaded.
"Fine, I need to get some air anyways," I said grabbing my jacket and following her out the door.
"Oh thank you so much! Please let's hurry!" Yukina slid into the passenger seat and buckled up. Five minutes later we were standing in front of the house, Yukina went up to the door and rang the doorbell. For some odd reason it didn't ring so she knocked on the door a furrow appearing in between her eyebrows as she politely knocked on the door. When that didn't produce Hikari she tried the door handle twisting it surprised when it opened.
"Hikari?! Are you in there?" She then disappeared into the house me following behind thinking how much weirder could it possibly get? Yukina and I were breaking in a entering her best friend's house. The interior of the house wasn't that interesting, it was rather Spartan and impersonal, nothing to suggest who or what the occupant was.
"Oh, Shizuru!" Yukina gasped running up to me with a piece of paper. "Someone's kidnapped Hikari!"
"What are you talking about?" I demanded picking up the note she had in her hand and started reading it out loud. "To whomever reads this, we have Hikari. When you read this, another note will be sent to Spirit World," I stared at it. "Well whoever wrote this had no imagination, but besides that I would say Hikari's in some trouble."
"But what does Spirit World have to do with it?" Yukina wondered.
"Dunno, lets ask Botan if she knows anything," I proposed
"That sounds like a good idea," Yukina agreed fear for her friend burning bright in her eyes. Ten minutes later we were at my house in the living room watching Koenma pace across the screen.
"This is bad Yusuke, very bad, Reiko, who Yukina knows as Hikari, is kinda like you, she died and was brought back to life to be a Spirit detective. Her last mission was to uncover what this organization called the Race Cleansers had up their sleeves. She found out all right but was discovered in the process and was forced into hiding before she could inform us of what she had found. We think she learned how to turn dream apparitions into nightmare apparitions from the only man who knew right before he died. The usual way to change a dream apparition into a nightmare apparition is intense torture that warps their minds but the problem is if it's intense enough it may permanently damage them.
"Reiko is a dream apparition and has but to wish things that she has dreamed into reality. When she was younger she dreamed she had a photographic memory and now she does. All you have to do is flash a document at her and she will remember it until the day she dies. The reason it is so important we get her back is because she has been through countless Spirit World documents and can remember them all. If they break her she could release information that could destroy all worlds. Kurama will be on this case with you and we're trying to find Hiei to join you but we're having no luck, it seems he's not on Makai! Oh this is horrible! Do your best Yusuke or we are all dead," Koenma finished, the video ended
"This is great! We have nowhere to start! How are we supposed to find her! If only Hiei was here, he could use his Jagan and we'd be home free!" Yusuke growled.
"Yeah, for once in my life I wish the shrimp was here," Kazuma agreed.
"Ask and you shall receive," a voice quipped, we all whipped around and saw Hiei standing in the corner arms crossed leaning against the wall.
"Hiei!" Three voices yelled.
(Reiko)
"What did he tell you!?" The man demanded his pitch black eyes drilling into mine as his fingers dug into the oozing cut on my arm.
"Bite me!" I snarled spitting at him. WHACK! My head snapped to the side into the stone wall I was being held up against and I could taste the blood that was pooling in my mouth from my aching teeth. Pain blossomed across my cheek as my tormentor raked his claw-like fingernails over my skin; poison burned in the cuts as I watched him drip it slowly onto the wound out of the corner of my eyes. He gripped my short hair and wrenched my head back to face him so my eyes met his as tainted blood trickled down my neck.
"My patience with you grows thin Reiko, now do you want to live or not?" He growled dragging me away from the wall and off the floor leaving me suspended in the air. His putrid breath assailed my nostrils causing me to gag.
"You can't kill me because I know something you don't," I sang wincing at how my voice cracked. His grip lightened and he lowered me so the tips of my toes brushed the floor.
"And what is that?" His voice turned sugar sweet.
"Your real name is Lucifer," I rushed before I was slammed up into the wall then dropped to the floor.
"Put her in the closet," Lucifer snapped as they dragged me away. Oh dear God, not the closet, the small dark hole in the wall that not even the brightest light could penetrate. The hellhole where true nightmares were born, the vermin infested slime filled purgatory. Panic welled in me as two sets of heavily callused male hands roughly clamped around my bloody and bruised arms hauling me up. The urge to scream was almost too much as sweat broke out over my scantily clothed body and I began to shake uncontrollably.
"Have fun Reiko," he really was the devil, only without the accessories. The guards chuckled evilly as they dragged me out of the room leaving layers of my skin on the cold stone floors. I struggled as much as I could; every time I so much as wiggled they placed one of their boot clad feet in me. In no time at all I heard the sound of bolts sliding back and I knew we had arrived, a door creak open and the last thing I saw before I was thrown into the hole was their ugly faces. There was a squish as I landed in the sludge-coated cavity, in a matter of seconds I was covered by a multitude of bugs and other things. Screaming loudly I swiped at myself trying to dislodge the vile things but nothing I did helped as they just kept coming.
"Somebody help me!!!!" I yelled hysteria swamping me as tears flooded my eyes and my chest seemed to constrict. Frantically I gripped the metal cuff-like device around my wrist and tried with all my might to rip it off my arm. The bracelets they had placed on my wrist were what prevented me from using my powers and destroying them all with the power that came with being a dream apparition. No longer fully in my right mind I tore at anything I could grab whether it was my own flesh, my restraints or my surroundings.
Eventually I sapped my energy supply and slumped to a heap in the middle of my prison sobbing my arms wrapped around my middle as my mind began to drag me into its own terror filled place. I lay there my eyes wide open as slime seeped into my clothes, bugs and the like scuttled and slithered over me and insanity scratched its way closer to the surface of my mind.
"Please...I beg you...help me..." I whispered knowing I wouldn't be able to withhold much longer; I wouldn't be able to survive.
Sorry, I know I write really short chapters but I can't help it!!! It was three pages on my computer....that's my defense....please R&R I need support.....need sleep.....
