Chapter 24: Fire gem: Controlled?
The guys walked along the streets trying to sense a strange energy that would be from the gem. They were all on their heels ready and waiting for a fire to take down the city at any moment… just to be safe. Everyone at least besides Karuka. She was thinking of different matters.
'Could it really be him? Could he be the one doing this?' She thought to herself.
'If it is, could I actually kill him? Will I let the others kill him? I have no idea. Man, my father left me one task to do and I could not even do that. And that is why I am here today, with these scars, physical and emotional. If only Py-' Karuka was taken out of her thoughts by a hoarse voice belonging to Kuwabara.
"Karuka? You okay? Are you thinking to hard?" He asked her. She looked up into his dark eyes so it would be seen that she was acknowledging him.
"What is it you loaf of stupidity?" Kuwabara stared at her hurt by her words, and realized that she was thinking of something serious. He was too surprised to tell her what he was going to.
Kurama answered for him, "We had the idea to use Hiei's Jagan eye to search for the gem. Do you approve?"
"Why would my opinion matter? I am just the convicted felon serving her time." She closed her eyes showing that she was done talking for the time being and didn't want to be disturbed from her thoughts again.
"Well ok, get to working Hiei, and find that dang gem thingy." Yusuke demanded of him. Hiei gave a light gruff and walked off into an alley to search, as to not bring forth attention to his inhuman third eye.
The four onlookers stood in a sort of circle as Hiei took his time to possibly find the gem. They stood in silence for five minutes before a certain blue haired ferry broke Hiei's mind frame.
"Hurry!" She yelled.
"What is it Botan? Hiei's trying to find the gem right now!" Yusuke spat out in anger of the interruption.
"The gem is not in the demon world anymore! The demons who stole it have transitioned into the living! Fire's are breaking out all over Tokyo!" She yelled from her oar, almost falling off of it in hastiness.
"What? How is that possible?" Kurama asked her, fear rimming the words he spoke.
"They must have found an open portal and-"
"No, not that woman! Why are there individual fires? How can the whole city not be burning?" Hiei yelled out in frustration, from the situation and the fact that he had been pulled out of his search attempt.
"Oh dear! I don't know!" Botan said confused now.
"Someone must be controlling the gem to the brink of actually owning it. Slowly taking the earth down without making it seem like Armageddon. How can that be possible to limit the gems power to tiny fires instead of full blown insanity like it should be?" Karuka questioned, worrying more and more by the second about the new possessor of the gem and their powers.
"We'll find out when we get their, we need to get to the living world fast." Botan flew off on her oar as the rest followed her out of the demon world. (A/N they were in the demon world right? It has been so long since I've updated I've forgotten)
-Tokyo, Japan-
Turmoil was unraveling in the streets of Japan as the guys stepped out into the blaring heat. From first glance you could see five fires easily. It was horrible. Innocent bystanders ran in horror of the fires, as no one knew how they were started and the fire department was not enough to tame the wild infernos.
"You must do something to stop all of this!" Botan yelled over the screaming innocents.
"The only way to stop it all is to find the one with the fire gem and take them down." Yusuke said looking quite determined since he was watching his city practically fall to pieces in front of him.
"I think I can sense the core power coming from the East." Kurama said. Everyone instantly looked that way.
"We should go." Everyone went off running to find the problem and Botan left to tell Koenma that the gang was right on the problem.
