Chapter Nine
(Orino)
"This must be his room," I was surprised at how easy it had been, too easy, something was wrong.
"Yes, most defiantly," Destin growled. "I'd know his scent anywhere,"
"Before we go in I have one question," the boy Yusuke said. "Who the hell is this guy? Why did he want you people?"
"He's collected some of us because of what we know, some for his pleasure and some to ransom off for money." Destin answered. "I was for my magic and my sister for his pleasure but he never got to her, the white haired one distracted him way too much."
"Reiko, you must mean Reiko," Kurama said.
"Might be, she always spent more time in the hellhole and in his chambers than in her cell."
"His name is Zinan," I muttered. "He is pure scum, simple as that," I kept my voice tightly controlled. "He wants to know how to make nightmare apparitions so he can overrun all worlds, he will have succeeded if Reiko has cracked."
"Ok, let's kick some butt!" Yusuke strode over to the door and tried the handle; it was locked so he kicked it open. There standing by the window was a tall black haired, black skinned man in robes of black, it was hard to tell where the man ended and the shadows began.
"Took you all a long time to enter, scared are you?" He turned, his eyes were as black as death and as cold as hell was hot as they bore into mine causing fear to creep and crawl over my skin, "It's too bad you entered because now you will all die and poor Reiko will justly punished for bringing this inconvenience upon me."
"You will die a long slow tortuous death at my hands scum," Chai said in a low confident voice as he took a step forward.
"Not yet dear Chai," Zinan gave a low soul killing laugh that chilled me to the bone; he never took his eyes from mine. "Your little friends need to bring me to their leader so he can interrogate me, to no avail I might add."
"I'm talking about afterward, you will pay for what you did to my sister. For every tear shed, for every drop of blood spilled. You will scream for every time she screamed and beg for mercy as I extract my revenge upon you." I heard Chai snarl. Yet still Zinan's eyes never left mine and I felt darkness and shadows slink into my mind paralyzing me where I stood entranced by his horrible all seeing eyes. Nothing could break the spell he was winding around me silencing my voice and stilling my limbs.
"Nothing would please me more to kill you myself but I do prefer a bit of fun myself," Zinan snapped his fingers and I felt darkness envelope me as I lost control of my body.
As though in a trance I drew my two sai and turned on my friend.
(Akiko)
So many voices. All talking to me. Who to listen to? What's going on? Where am I? Sayo?
"Shit." That was defiantly Sayo but where was she?
"What's wrong? Sayo? What's wrong?" Was that Oki? Sounded like her.
"The bastard has taken over Orino! He's making Chai fight her!" Chai? Orino? Bastard? Who are these people? Nothing makes sense. Chai. Familiar. Whispers. They whispered about Chai. In hell, they spoke of him. Said he would come. Would save us. Chai. Darkness. Shadows. Akiko. Light.
"There's no way Chai will hurt Orino! Crap!" What happens if Sayo is right? Will he get me again?
"Chai." I whispered.
"Akiko?" Three voices shout. Chai needs help. Must help him. Chai. Drawing my energy to me I began to make light. Lots of light, to defeat darkness you need light. Chai needed light.
"What's going on?" Someone new demanded.
"Chai." I muttered.
"Who is Chai?" They questioned. Here I come Chai. Draw in breath. Concentrate on Chai. Find him. Darkness. Back to hell. Chai.
(Chai)
Blocking one of Orino's attacks I tried to figure out a way to get Zinan out of her without having to hurt her. It seemed impossible! With half a thought I formed a sword of darkness, it was similar to Kuwabara's sword but black. Orino's red eyes were empty and flat as she contemplated me for a moment as if she was trying to figure out what to do next. The others were trying to get at Zinan but whenever they tried Orino would stop them with a blast of black energy
Chai. Startled I barely dodged Orino's lunge, what was going on? Who was I hearing? It didn't sound like anyone I knew. Light, you need light.
Who are you? I furiously thought to whomever was in my head fighting my friend at the same time.
'Kiko. To kill darkness use light. I have light. The voice was female; it was quiet and rather child like. An image appeared in my mind the man named Dundrogo carrying the unconscious blond haired girl, another victim of Zinan's a fresh wave of anger hit me.
Where are you? I clashed again with Orino trying to force her to the ground by using my weight and greater strength but it wasn't working.
Not in hell. Let me help. Take light. She began filling my mind with light.
NO! I shouted, she instantly stopped and the light retreated.
I am DARKNESS! I can't handle light. It hurts. I growled at her.
Promise. No pain. Light good. Save Orino. No pain for you. Pain for evil. She seemed so sure of what she was saying that I was tempted to accept her offer. Pausing I stared at Orino who was assessing me with her soulless eyes before charging me again. Zinan laughed and I felt my blood freeze.
Are you positive? I blocked and ducked out of the way.
No pain. Sure. Kill darkness in friend. Leave her safe. Pain for evil. She reassured me. Yes? No?
Yes. Let's do this. I felt a pain in my arm and snapped to attention to see Orino leaping back blood on her sai.
Light. It flooded into my mind like a dam breaking it slid into my body. I could feel it in every pore of my body in every fiber of my being. No pain. Light good. Take light. Closing my eyes an image of a girl with fiery red hair appeared in my minds eye her bright green eyes sparkling while she held out to me a sword of light. Strike friend. No pain. Will save her. Keep her safe. With a deep breath I grabbed it and opened my eyes to see my darkness sword flare and become one of light. NOW!
"For Orino!" I yelled rushing her as I felt the light that filled me let it self be known flashing out to surround me as I drove the sword into my faithful follower and friend.
(Oki)
"NOW!" Akiko cried just before there was a burst of light, shading my eyes and squinting I saw my sister floating off her bed surrounded by light her body arched as her hair turned fiery red. She had turned into her demon form, but why?
"AKIKO!" I leapt from my chair only to be stopped by Dai.
"Don't touch her! You may do more damage than you think!" He held me close as I stared at my eldest sister fearing for her.
(Yusuke)
"For Orino!" Chai shouted as his dark weapon turned to light and he charged Orino; light exploded from his body making it almost impossible to see. A blood-curdling scream split the air just before the light dimmed down to a bearable level and I could see Zinan on the ground his head cradled in hands. Orino was in Chai's arms her streaked blond hair had fallen out of its hair tie and was all over the place.
"Rose Whip!" Kurama yelled striking out at Zinan while he was down and weak but surprisingly he got out of the way. Destin charged with his axe raised along with Kuwabara and his Spirit Sword, Drake with fireballs, me with a Spirit gun, Kurama with his whip again and Chai with his light energy sword. He dodged every single attack and fired dark energy back at us with lips twisted in pain.
"Nothing seems to be fazing him!" Kurama huffed next to me after another failed attempt.
"If only Orino was able to help, we'd be home free." Chai added eyes glued to Zinan waiting for another chance to go in for the kill.
"Kurama, see if you can do something to bring Orino around, we defiantly could use her help." I muttered to him hoping the black skinned freak of nature wouldn't hear.
"Alright." Kurama hurried over to where Orino was propped up against the wall.
"Chai, can you transform your sword into a bow or something? Then we can go at him from long distance." I suggested.
"I don't know, I'll try." He closed his eyes and slowly the sword morphed into a bow about seven feet tall, as he pulled the string back an arrow appeared on it.
"Good," I turned to Kuwabara, "We will distract the bum with Destin and Drake to try and give Chai a good chance at hitting him."
"Good idea." Kuwabara reformed his sword and we went at it again. Abruptly there was a flash of light and an arrow buried itself into his chest, for a breathless moment we just stared hoping against hope he would just die. With a horrible cackle he ripped the arrow from his chest and we watched it disappear with most of our optimism.
"We're doomed." Chai stated from behind us.
"I agree," Destin nodded his head sagely as if coming up with the answer to a hard question.
"Shit," was my opinion.
Ohhhh...naughty word Yusuke...oh well...so what you you think? Who is the best? RR(I should probably put this in the beginning shouldn't I?)
