Author's Notice: I'm sooooooooooooo sorry it took so long to get chapter 2 out. I had writers block. I thought I'd get this out as a Christmas present. So here's chapter 2 of A Wolf's Cry!!
The sound of footsteps echoed as the gang ran from the blast of demon energy emitting from the room Kaya was in.
"We're not -huff- gonna -huff- make it!" Yusuke declared.
"Urameshi! -huff- run faster! -huff- my butt -huff- is sizzling!" Kuwabara yelled.
"Hn… she doing us a favor." Heie commented looking back. "Run…" Hiei said, unusually calm.
"No!!" Yusuke yelled, stopping and turning to face the blast. He took his spirit gun stance.
"No! You baka! That'll h-" Hiei growled.
"Spirit Gun!!!"
The spirit gun hit the blast coming towards them head on, the walls falling under their power. But it wasn't enough. The blast slowly inched forward to the gang.
"Spirit Sword, get long!" Kuwabara yelled.
His blast joined the other two and with a loud boom and the two blast overpowered the one coming after them, shooting it towards the room there were once in.
"You baka ningens! (humans) That's gonna hit Kaya!!!" Hiei growled.
Yusuke and Kuwabaka (Sorry to the few people reading who like Kuwabara) looked at Hiei, but he wasn't there.
"I hope he can get there fast enough…" Kurama muttered.
Hiei ran down the corridor with blinding speed. He ran into the room and instantly saw Kaya there, slumped on the ground.
Hiei looked at the blast approaching and ran, grabbed her, and tumbled out of the way as the blast hit where they had been.
The gang ran up shortly after. "Are you guys okay?"
"How am I supposed to know. Kurama you check up on her, I'm not the doctor."
Kurama nodded. "Yes, that would be best."
"Yea, I wouldn't let the shrimp doctor me. He'd kill me…" Kuwabara whispered.
Yusuke snickered.
"I heard that Kuwabaka!" Hiei snapped.
"It's not Kuwabaka, why is everyone calling me that!!!"
"Because you are."
"Arrrrrrrgggghhhh!!!!!"
Hiei pulled his katana out. "Want your head on the ground, Kuwabaka…" Hiei smirked.
"I give up!" Kuwabara forfeited.
"Goo-"
Hiei was disturbed by a gasp.
"what is it…?" Yusuke asked, dreading the answer.
"She's dead…" Kurama whispered.
"hn. Why should we care? We only knew her for what? 3 hours?" Hiei replied.
"unless you want Keonma biting our heads off, you better care." Yusuke commented.
"am I dead?" Kaya asked herself. "or am I just pathetically unconscious?"
Kaya inched an eye barely open to see Kurama. She shut it quickly.
"I'm not dead just yet bakas!" she snickered eyes opening.
"Kaya!!!!!" Yusuke yelled hugging her.
"Get off me Yusuke!!!!"
"You're alive!!!!"
"Yusuke, I-I can't… -gasp- breath…"
Yusuke stopped hugging her.
Kaya's ears twitched violently. "do that again detective, and you'll be in pain,"
"Yesss maam!" Yusuke saluted.
Kaya face inched into a grin. "Dimwit."
"I am not!"
"Hurry up or you'll be left behind." Kaya called.
The gang quickly caught up.
The group of five walked the corridors till they came to another set of doors.
"Ready?" Yusuke grinned.
"As I ready as I'll ever be." Kaya said, pushing open the doors.
"An…ocean…" Kurama muttered.
"why the hell an ocean?" Kaya cursed.
"it's bad to curse Kaya." Kurama lectured.
"Who fucing cares?" Kaya asked.
"Kaya! You cursed again!" Kurama scolded.
"Who cares, pretty boy," Kaya shrugged.
"I ca-"
"Drop it kitsune," Hiei snapped.
Kuwabara leaned over to Yusuke. "is it just me, or does Kaya seem like a twin to Hiei or something?"
"you know what? I think you're right,"Yusuke answered.
Yusuke walked in between Kaya, Kurama, and Hiei. "we're leaving NOW!!!" Yusuke started walking beside the shoreline. They all quietly followed.
"such racket woke me from my slumber…" a voice sounded. "now don't be alarmed… I won't do anything to hurt you…"
"I don't like the tone of his voice…" Kaya whispered.
Kaya tensed when she felt something on her neck.
Something wrapped it's arms around her. "but, the boss needs you.." a guy whispered.
"get.. Off me!!!' Kaya shouted.
The gang turned around to see a guy with teal hair, red eyes, long, baggy cargo pants, with no shirt and looked in his 17s.
"tut tut tut…bad girl…"
"Annoying son of a bch…" Kaya said, stabbing her elbows into his sides and backflipping.
She gracefully landed on the ground and then charged sending a slew of rapid punches at him.
The boy swiped blood from his mouth. "by the way, my names Nayrue. Tsunami!!" He yelled, a tsunami forming on the water.
"Run!!!" Kaya shouted, jumping, doing a one-hand hand spring and rolling out of the way. She rolled behind Nayrue and whipped out her katana.
"Little wrench!! You learned that from us!! You little Traitor!!! You deserted us only to join that Spirit world baby!!!" Nayrue shouted.
Kaya stopped I mid-swipe and dropped her katana. "Nayrue…"
"And because of you Rei deserted too!! But you know what? She never found you!! The last trace of you was with some Ba$ard fire demon!!'
Kaya slowly stood up. "he wan't a Ba$tard!! Lightning blade!!" Kaya swiftly moved to his neck, the blade posed for a quick swipe to decapitate it. "Take that back NOW!!!!"
"Why should I? Could you really murder me? Murder your old teammate?" Nayrue snickered.
"Yes. Yes, I would…" Kaya whispered, slitting his throat.
The blades disappeared. Kaya slowly picked up her katana and put it back in it's sheath.
Yusuke cautiously walked up to Kaya. "Are you ok?"
"Hn. I'm fine," Kaya muttered looking at Nayrue's head. She kicked it up into the air. She whipped out her katana and sliced it. "Sorry Nayrue," Kaya said, looking up at the sky. She stifled back tears.
Yusuke stared at her. "Who was he?"
"maybe I'll tell you one day Yusuke, but that day's not today. Let's go. It's almost 11:30."
Yusuke nodded and motioned for everybody else to follow. Kaya stayed in the back.
(((Kaya's POV)))
I killed Nayrue… How could I do that?! He was my old teammate, but I still killed him. And that fire demon wasn't a Ba$ard. He cared for me. I wonder if he still remembers me. He may, considering the way he acted towards me.
Kaya's mind settled on…(Nope! Can't tell you!)
"You coming Kaya?" Yusuke said.
"yup." I replied.
A tear sprang from my eye and slid down my cheek. It slowly formed into a purple crystal and sparkled as the sun reflected off it's glossy cover. I watched as Yusuke saw the light coming from the crystal. He caught it in the palm of his hand. "Kaya…" he echoed.
"What!?" I snapped.
"You're crying aren't you?"
"So what if I am! Since when do you care?! Since when did anybody care!!??"
Hiei turned around. "Come on detective, there's no spot on this team for weaklings and wimps."
"See! I told you! Nobody cares! You guys are just like everybody else!! Just see how far you get with out me!!" I yelled, stalking off.
"You didn't have to say that, Hiei," Kuwabara said.
"Hn. Let's be moving on."
((Still Kaya's POV))
I hate them!!!! They'll just like everybody else!!!
I sat down on a log on the barren beach, my legs curled up to my chest. "I can never trust anyone…nobody but him…" I muttered. Again, my thoughts wondered to… him… Tears sprang to my eyes as I thought about him more and more. Memories flashed through my head.
I shook my head to rid myself of these memories for now. My thoughts wondered to the gang. I should probably follow them to make sure they stay alive so baby breath won't bite my head off. A light followed and cleared revealing a….
(((End Kaya's POV)))
"Why did you have to go say that, Hiei?" Yusuke sighed. "She would be very useful right now,"
"So what, now you depend on complete strangers?' Hiei retorted, slamming his hands into his pockets.
Yusuke sighed. "It's useless to argue against you, Hiei."
"Hn,"
They reached another set of doors. Yusuke pushed it open slowly. He carefully stepped out of the doorway, scanning for traps. The room having passed the test, he stepped out and waited or everybody else.
The room was painted purple with chains dangling from the walls. Skeletons lingered around the walls, their eyes crying silent pleas for help the living could not hear. A single bed, shawled in silver covers, blood stains drowning it.
A single girl with navy blue hair, gold eyes stepped out. She has baggy cargo shorts, a light blue cap on her head, turned around backwards. She has a baggy black shirt on and a big metal cross dangling from a chain around her neck. "hello, detectives. My name is Tizea, master of dragons," she greeted as black leather wings spread from her back. "Hmmm…. Only four, master said there would be five. A wolf demon. Do you mind telling what happened, for master was interested in her?"
Yusuke glared at Hiei then faced Tizea. "he was injured and had to go back. Is it a problem?"
"No, not really. Now onto the battle. I chose you, Youko Kurama," she demanded, pointing at Kurama.
Kurama nodded and stepped up to a ring that formed.
Tizea sprang into action, claws tearing at Kurama's stomach. Kurama doubled over in pain as Tizea licked blood off here long nails. "Such an easy target, kitsune. I heard that the great thief Youko was much tougher and stronger," She sneered.
Kurama slid his hand into his hair and pulled out a crimson rose. "Rose whip!!" she jumped above the whip and landed. "So predictable…" her eyes glittered with a red rim around the gold. "Prepare to die!" she smirked. Just as she sprang into the air a red blur came and whipped her in the back. "Argh…" she moaned as it wrapped around her neck and flung against the stone brick wall. As the attack repeated itself she whipped out kodachis and sliced the whip in two.
She landed on the ground with a thud. She slowly got to her feet and took a fighting stance. "Round two…" she said, her arm glowing with a red static. A red dragon tattoo formed around her arm. "Flame dragon of Heaven and Hell!!!!" She yelled, the dragon whipping around the room towards Kurama. Whoosh!!! Bam!! Kurma flew through the stone wall with his arms in front of him in an attempt to guard. He landed on the water, the salt biting at his wounds. He slowly got up and disappeared. Tizea glanced around the room as blur slowly formed behind her. "sword of the demon wood," he whispered stabbing Tizea through the stomach.
She stared at the plant sticking through her abdomen. She disappeared as her voice crawled around the stone walls. "since you defeated me, I think I'll take a prize for master never said we couldn't take prisoners…" the whisper echoed off the walls as chains clanked against a hole in the ceiling. A prison landed with a thud as a wind sucked in it's prey, Hiei…as Hiei landed in the cage it disappeared, along with Hiei. "I've taken quite an interest in you, my little fire demon…"
The gang stood in shock as the cage disappeared. "Hiei!!" Yusuke yelled, running to where the cage was. "Come on guys we have to go," Yusuke ran to the set of doors. A chill went up his spine as he turned around and scanned the room. His eyes caught hold of a shadow. He blinked and looked at the spot…it was gone.
"Urameshi, you coming!?" Kuwabara yelled.
"Yea!" Yuske replied running after him.
Again, the walked a corridor until they came to a set of doors, again. Yusuke busted in and ran across the room to the other set of doors.
Smoke filled the air a guy ran out of a corner. "You dare pass through without battling me?!"
"Sorry, got save Hiei! Bye!" Yusuke said.
"But you must fight!"
"Ok. I'll fight. Spirit Gun!!!!" Yusuke yelled, shooting a huge blast off into the air and towards the demon.
"Nooooooo!!!!!" the demon yelled, turning to ashes.
Yusuke and the gang ran through the to yet another corridor.
A wolf ran through the halls of the castle. It had yellow eyes and silver fur with a black muzzle and black paw. Pieces of metal were clamped on it's ears. It was not an ordinary wolf, it was a cyber wolf.
It's paws pounded the ground as it came to a set of doors. It rammed into it with it's shoulder and the doors opened. It walked into the great room where four girls hung from chains.
It's eyes went to the first one as it studied it. Keiko. It studied the second one. Yukina. The third came up as Ms. Minamoto. And the fourth. Identity unknown. She trotted up to them and unsheathed her claws. She jumped up onto the wall and picked Keiko's locks. Then Yukina's. then Ms. Minamoto. Then the unknown girl. They slumped to the ground. A group of three boys ran through the doors. The boy she identified as Yusuke walked up to the wolf.
"Who the hell are you, you dan wolf?" he demanded.
The wolf held up and a pawas she pulled down to off her claws, leaving the middle claw.
"Wha!!!?!"
"I came her to rescue the girls," the wolf said.
"Who are you?"
'I am K-9X,"
"ok. I'm Yu-"
"Urameshi, Yusuke. Spirit detective of the spirit world. Fourteen years old. ((I think that's right)) Teamates are Kuwabara, Kazuma, Minamoto, Shucihi but likes to be called Kurama. He was formely Youko Kurama, and Jaganshi, Hiei, fire demon and forb-" she glanced over at Hiei. "One more is supposed to be with you. Hokori, Kayato, Kaya for short. Wolf demon and Lightning demon. Master of the wolf of the electric flame."
The team glanced at each other then back to K-9X.
"How do you know that?" Kurama questioned.
"I am a cybernetic wolf demon,"
"Cybernectic wolf demon!? How can that be?" Kurama asked.
"I was experimented on as a project. I can read you memories and thoughts I know every detail about you."
The room turned dark. As footsteps sounded on the concrete floor. "Enough with the talking." candles flickered to life.
A guy in that looked in his 19s stepped out. He had raven black hair with a tint of dark blue. His hair fell over a red bandana in one flowing motion, slightly covering his piercing red eyes. He was wearing a purple shirt that showed his chest with a red tie dangling from the collar. He has black cargo pants and black converses.
"I am Aki, a shadow demon. The master of the demons you encountered. One of you has to fight me and since everybody but Hiei has fought, I choose Hiei," He said, the chains around Hiei that were holding him up turning to dust.
Hiei smirked. "you won't live to tell the tale,"
"Oh, how wrong you are, Jaganshi. Shadow blades of a thousand tales!!!" Aki yelled, a thousand blades forming. "Go!!!"
They shot off into the air. Hiei disappeared every time on tried to hit him. Finally the blades pinned him the wall. Aki walked towards Hiei.
"How disappointing…" Hiei grip on his katana grew tighter as Aki inched forward. Aki was a foot away from him as he thrust his katana at Aki's stomach and pierced right through it.
"Urgh!" Aki grunted. The shadow blades disappeared and Hiei fell to the ground.
"I'm growing tired of this so you die," Hiei sneered. The bandages around his arm melted as static grew around his arm. "Dragon of the Darkness Flame!!!!" He yelled as the dragon cinched Aki. Aki disappeared as Hiei slumped to the ground. Kuwabara went and threw him on his shoulder.
"Dumb Hiei."
K-9X sniffed around till she picked up a scent. She followed it to a prison cell. She picked it with her claw and clamped a girl in her jaws and pulled her out. Her eyes scanned the girl. Kiri Umi. Spirit thief of the Spirit world. Cat demon. She had black hair with silver highlights that goes to the end of her neck and crystal blue eyes with a gold rim. A pink choker with a ice demon's tear hanging from it. She had a white shirt with a pink collar with a pin ribbon at th end. A tan skirt with a pink ribbon around it was on her hips. Gold braces circled her arm with a ripped black cloth like a part of a glove hanging from both of the braces. Two pink ribbons were in her hair. black cat ears with four pierces were clamped in both ears. A black cat tail floated in the air with a gold brace and one piercing hung from it. Her ear slightly twitched.
Kiri slowly woke up. She quickly sat up and She looked around. Yusuke rushed over. "Kiri we found you!! You've been missing for two months!!"
"So!" She got up and lightly pushed Yukina to wake her. Yukina's red eyes flickered open. "Kiri!!!" She yelled hugging her.
"Hi Yukina. You okay, did they hurt you?"
"No, but they kille-"
"She's dead! Kieko's dead!" Yusuke wailed.
"They killed Keiko…" Yukina finished, tears springing to her yes and dropping to the ground with a clatter as they formed crystals.
Kiri wiped away Yukina's tears. "It's okay, Yukina. Don't cry."
Ms. Minamoto and the other girl stirred. K-9X quickly muttered something and a light formed around Ms. Minamoto, sending her to her house.
Kurama glared at K-9X. "What did you do?"
"I sent her to your house. So she wouldn't see us in here."
Kurama nodded. "Right."
Kurama walked over to the other girl. She was wearing a gold shirt that slit on both sides and meet at the middle. Underneath it was a black cami. She had long leather black pants and yellow eyes with a rim of emerald green. Her hair was black and goes down to her shoulders. Gold ribbons hung from it. White wolf ears and a white wolf tail.
"What's your name?" Kurama asked.
"Hikoro, Mia. Mia Hikoro."
Author's Notice: What's up with that cyber wolf? And who's Mia Hikori. All will be revealed in later chapters. Oh, and if anybody is wondering who Kiri is check my profile under characters, ok?
I'll get chapter three out as soon as possible. Promise! - gotta go.
Have a Merry Christmas and a happy new year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
