Broken Promises Of the Past 3
Disclaimer: I do not own YYH.
Okay so last time you learned about the legend surrounding the katana……
A young demon with flaming red hair could be seen walking down an alley and into a side door of a building in a city on the Demon World. As he walked in you could notice how dark the interior of the building was. It seemed to be a bar of some kind, with a few demons at through out. The bartender seemed to give off an air of control that seemed to keep the lower level demons from doing anything foolish.
The demon from before walked past a few tables to one of the tables by the wall. The table had a single occupant a figure whose face could not be seen. Its face was hidden by a mask, a black mask that had one crack that went through the right eye.
"So you have the package that was requested." It was more of a statement than a question uttered by the mask demon.
"Yes," The demon stated while placing the 'package' on the table. "I was in there and out without them noticing right away." The masked man tossed a bag to him. "That is what you requested." He watched as the man opened the bag. The man turned the bag upside down and watched as the coins that fell on the table turned to dust.
"This isn't what I asked for as payment," The stern voice of the demon stated. "It seems you didn't understand what I said would be adequate payment for the job done." The demons in the bar started to flare up their energy as if in warning to this new demon.
"Demetrius," The masked man stated with calmness in his voice. "It seems you should have taken my original offer of joining me also instead of just getting the pay. You would have survived a lot longer. But who needs a thief that's loyalties are flimsy. Kill him."
The demon fighters drew their weapons and charged. Demetrius went to grab the package which was now unwrapped and in the masked man's possession. The sword went to cut down on Demetrius's hand……
"So now that you now know about the sword Koenma wants you to retrieve it," Ashiina stated with a serious tone. "But my plan is different then his. I want you to stay still for as long as possible. We will most likely need your help in the end, but before that there will be no need." She looked around the room and noticed the look on Yusuke's face. A look that clearly stated that there was no way he was going to listen to her.
"So we are just suppose to sit back and wait for the destruction of the worlds?" Yusuke stated while glaring at her.
"You will be informed about the locations of the sword when we find that, but the places that my people will go is not a place that humans and the traitors to the demon race…no offense…would be welcome. I have a lot of informants in the demon world, but most of them will not know of the sword. So we have to go a step up."
"Ashiina they are going to help you to the best of their abilities," Koenma stated.
"Koenma I really don't want the detectives to die before they can really help us."
"You're underestimating my people, Ashiina," Yusuke stated. "We will not die just because some damn demon thinks that we are causing trouble."
Yep I redid the last bit of the chapter below the line. It makes more since now…and yes I will have the next chapter out by Saturday. Matter of fact I am finishing it right now.
