Chapter three
"So away with the mushy stuff and what's our job?" Yusuke asked.
"My brother will try to destroy all evidence of his involvement in this plot. That means our potentials, Itsuki, Sensui and you all." Koenma explained.
"That's a problem, our potentials have been sent home for a break. And the seven psychics with Sensui are gone." Genkai sighed.
"Actually only four of them are. My ex-fiancée attempted to get them but not if I could help it." Mariah leaped off the rail, followed by two others. It was Sniper and Aminuma the game master. They both had a mark on their neck.
"The Guardian Seal, only used by the most powerful of the demon race. Used to show company ownership or that they are the marked person's protector." Yoko spoke up.
"Lady Mariah is our guardian and now we must help Itsuki." Aminuma held a little dagger in its sheath.
"Call the others Aminuma. Let's show our friend exactly what we have to work with." Mariah smiled sweetly.
Aminuma took out a reed flute and played a sweet tune. Others appeared from the shadows behind them, each had the seal on their neck.
"As you can see, we have an entire army at our disposal." Mariah smiled at the boys in front of her.
"They are well trained and are itching for battle. Not one can hold in their desire for vengeance." Kuro chuckled.
By the end of the mighty battle, Kotago stood alone against the fiery goddess. His army had taken hers and hers lay exhausted but still ready to fight at her command. She had him pinned, fear in his eyes. When it was over they found Itsuki begging to just be put out of his misery. They ignored his pleas and Kuro carried him back to the castle.
In a small room, miles from the castle, Sensui lie on a bed with a broken arm. "Feeling any better?" Katrina smiled. He was silent but she saw him wince. She changed the bandaging, carefully cradling him broken arm. "Lady Mariah has found and rescued Itsuki. She will bring you to him soon." She helped Sensui to his feet.
