Yami Yami Yugi: Hey! What up? I'm glad that you liked to see the new chapter. I agree it is hard to review a chapter that you helped right. I guess you'll have to read on to see what happens next. Hope you enjoy it!

Tsuki fox: Hello again. Thank you. I always try to give my best. Yeah there are lots of questions… to what will happen now that Raizen is dead. Hope you like this chapter.

Rurouni kitsune: Hello again. Yeah lots of people are going to be pissed this chapter. Lots of finger pointing too. Lol. Yes Yusuke is going to be one of the major people upset about this whole thing… major impact. Yeah it was kinda sad that Raizen had to die… he was a cool character. Don't worry yourself… the other two kings will not suffer the same fate as Raizen… there is going to be people arguing about this whole thing… Hope you enjoy this chapter.

Tala Ishtar: Hello again. Thanks for reading and reviewing. I liked Raizen too… it was sad that I had to kill him, but we all know how he was in a bad shape in the beginning… with his refusal to eat and all. Hope you enjoy this chapter.

Hiei;s Dragon Girl 1: Hello again. I'm glad that you loved it. I hope you love this chapter too.

Green Breeze: Hello again. Yeah, this story, I really don't wanna focus on Yaoi. Agreed, lots of suspicion has arisen with the untimely demise of Raizen. Trust has been broken slightly among all the people involved, we all know that there wasn't must trust there to begin with. Things are indeed getting more complicated…. But I agree it makes it more interesting. It makes defeating Karuru more important… I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Kurama's number1 girl: Hello. Thanks for reading and reviewing. I'm glad that you liked it. Here is the update, hope you like it.

Well I must say for short reviews I did write a great deal… I thank you all again for your reviews and I hope that you enjoy this chapter. On with chapter… 47.

Mysteries

Raizen's men rushed in only to see their king dead. " LORD RAIZEN!" There cries for their dead king echoed through out the kingdom of Gandara. The other demons in the local area turned their attention to the direction of the cries asking themselves what had happen to Raizen.

Yomi rushed over to see what had transpired. " What is going on?" He asked.

Hokushin glared at Yomi. " As if you didn't know! You were the one who acculturated this whole thing. It was you who hired the murder to kill my king."

Yomi turned his attention to Raizen's dead body. " I had no desire to kill him. Just because the two of us were rivals doesn't mean I planned to kill him… besides if I had such ill intentions I would have done it sooner. How would it profit me do get rid of him at a time like this one?"

Hokushin thought about his words for a moment. Yomi had a good point. Why would he even want to kill Raizen now of all times. With the threat of Kururi and Karuru looming over them they couldn't afford to be feuding with each other. His fist shook in rage. " Even if you didn't plan this… you should have had better protection. I guess your not as all knowing as people say you are."

" I guess not. However, I can assure you.. who ever committed this act will be severely be punished for this…"

" He will be more then punished… he will pay for his death!" Hokushin hissed. " No one had the right to kill Lord Raizen."

Mukuro, Hiei and Kurama arrived soon after. The kitsune turned to see Raizen and his followers and then looked up at his former partner. " Yomi… what has happened here?"

" It seems we have a murder in our midst's. That or it was done by someone from the inside."

Kurama narrowed his eyes as he walked closer to the body of the dead king. He started to examine it carefully. Kurama noted how precise the attack wounds were, and he started to picture the battle in his mind. " From the looks of things, I would deuce that this was Kururi's doing. It would only make sense, for a moment I could have sworn I sensed two energies in this room. Now I'm sensing either. Kururi is indeed near by. His sent is very strong, no matter what form he takes his odor will not be altered. I suggest from now on, we all keep our guards up and not take any chances. Who knows when or where he will strike next."

" Agreed. It would be wise for no one in this room to be alone. If at any time Kururi decides to strike again, he will have no opportunity with two people together at once." Yomi continued.

" That would be the best course of action. Neither Yomi nor myself can afford to fall now." Mukuro stated.

" Then it is settled… Hiei… you and Mukuro will be partnered up. I will be with Yomi and the rest of you will remain together." Kurama explained. Everyone nodded and they all dispersed.

Meanwhile in Karuru's place he smiled as he looked at the young girl who he had been given. She was the key that he was looking for. Sakura moaned as she started to awaken. She opened her eyes and looked around. Sakura wasn't sure where she was, or why she was here. ' What is going on? The last time I remember… was seeing that black hair demon…. Where is this place?'

Karuru got up from his chair and walked closer to the young girl. " Finally awake I see."

Sakura spun around and looked into the eyes of her captor. " Who are you… what do you want from me!"

" My dear Sakura, you are the key to all my desires. So many people tried to keep your powers a secret for so long, but I know the truth."

Sakura blinked a few times. " What do you mean?"

" So your powers are even unknown to you? Well I guess I will explain your importance. You my dear have a very unique power, even among demons. It so happens that you are descended from Raizen himself…. Your mother was a close friend of Raizen, her name was Koko. She left you in Raizen's care when you were born… She thought that would be better for you. You my dear have some special powers buried within you. The best way to explain it is… the transmigration of the Mazoku. You're fathers power can be passed on differently depending on the gender. For females such as yourself you gain the ability to open the lock to the spirit sphere. Since it was your family who first created it… you possess the ability to open it."

Sakura couldn't believe what she was hearing. She tried desperately to escape. However the magic of the circle Karuru had created kept her from running away. " I won't help you…"

Karuru smiled evilly. " You don't have much choice. You see that magic energy circle I have you in, once activated, it can force your hidden powers to surface. You're control over your powers will be broken and then there will be nothing anyone can do to stop me." He placed the ball on a platform. He then started to power up his energy and Sakura's body began to glow a vibrant purple. Her body started to levitate in the air and her energy started to grow.

Yusuke and the gang started to feel this surge of power coming from the castle. The spirit detective turned to Kurama. " What the heck is that?"

" Karuru is finally making his move." Kuronue stated.

" Alright then I'll ask you… what the heck is that?"

" It stands to reason.. that the spirit sphere wasn't completed. Karuru needed something more in order for the power of the sphere to be released. He had found out the secret to its power… was locked within Sakura. She is the key to its power."

" Then my suspicions have been proven." Kurama stated, " I always suspected that the sphere required something more before its effects were realized. That explains why nothing happened when we all had it in our possessions."

Yusuke looked furious. " Well I'll be damned if I let this jerk get away with all the shit he's planning…." He took off running toward the castle in a hope of rescuing Sakura.

Kurama and Kuronue started rushing after him. " Yusuke!"

Sakura let out some screams as her powers were stripped from her body. The spirit sphere began to glow purple as her energy was being collected. A smirk appeared on his face as he felt the immense power grow stronger and stronger. " That's it my dear Sakura. Give me all your powers. Through your help I will dominate every living thing… and no one will be able to stop me!"

Sakura started to weaken. ' Oh Yusuke…. Please help me…' Just as though Yusuke heard her cries for help he came barging in.

" SON OF A BITCH… PREPARE TO DIE!"

Karuru smiled. " I'm afraid you've come to late…. Demon world… will soon be mine!"

To be continued…

Special thanks to my beta Yami Yami Yugi… thanks for your work! You're the greatest.

Hello everyone. I'm sorry once again for the long wait. And I know this isn't the best chapter I've written… but I hope you liked it anyway. Till next time. Please read and review.
