I do not own any of Yu Yu Hakusho at all. Let the story begin!
Chapter 2 Innocence is Ignorance
Light laughed as she went along when her ears picked up a sound that she knew was not a natural forest sound. Dark looked up suddenly for Her friend had stopped and was listening to the forest. Having grown up in a forest her whole life this was where she love and knew perfectly.
She motioned Dark to her side.
"Dark, there is someone out there, for the birds have gone quiet and the forest gives an unnatural sound of silence. And a all sounds of life is silent, something is watching us."
Light said gently motioning to her friend they moved towards where the sounds were not coming from. Both of these friend were very paranoid so they both having high boots of leather kept hidden knives in their boots for as the saying goes knives in boots are rarely found.
Light grabbed her knife in lightning quick grab and motioned to Dark to be careful. As they moved they heard a swishing sound then a moan of agony. Dashing towards the sound they found a figure had tried to escape from them but tripped over some underbrush roots.
He was pretty tall and wore dark black and dark purple clothing a long cape was on his back or so they thought was a cape till they got closer.
Light knelt and asked, "Who are you?" She said with her knife under his throat. He looked up at her confused and slowly said something in a language that was completely different. In fact they had never seen such a person before or heard such a language!
Being closer they saw that the so called cape on his back was really huge wings like a bat's but one of the wings seemed to be slightly hurt for it looked different from the other wing. His eyes were dark but beautiful Purple and he had pointy ears and black hair pulled back in a pony tail, a funny hat was on his head for it looked like it was a hat with the top ripped out.
"Dark we're going to have to work with a language deficiency problem if we are to get any answers at all." Dark nodded and said, "I follow you, for you have always been better at learning new languages then me."
She nodded and taking the knife from the man's neck sat down beside him. Dark on the other side.
Light turned to him and got him to look at her and she pointed at herself and said, "Light" then pointing to Dark said , "Dark"
Kurone was releaved to sit up and when this girl said Light and pointed at herself then said Dark and pointed to the other girl. He thought, "I think that that are their names. Why they are trying to be nice! They could have killed me! Yet now they are trying to communicate with me!"
Then he pointed to himself and said , "Kurone."
Light looked at Dark, saying, "This guy's name must be Kurone, WE need to figure out some way to ask him where we are and if we can get home to Great Falls."
Dark nodded.
Kurone heard his name spoken by this girl and thought, "They are talking about me I wonder what they are saying?"
"Dark I am going to try the other languages that I know perhaps that will work and maybe he knows one of them." Light commented. Dark nodded again. (As before Dark is a person of little words around a stranger)
Light tried Arabic, English, French, Chinese and finally Japanese.
"Where are we?" She asked him.
Kurone started when she spoke in Japanese, and replied, "You are in the world of Makia of the Demons and such powers." He grew silent he could hear Kurama coming.
"Dark you will never believe this but it seems all those stories about the Legendary Makia world of Demons is true. Kurone just said that we are in Makia!"
Dark Shocked stood and began to pace. While Light asked some more questions.
"Kurone, are there other humans here?"
"No, the only humans are slaves of the demons. And usually die within 17 years of their service because of how badly they are treated." Kurone said He enjoyed these girl's company he wondered if Kurama would let him keep them. He wanted them safe and as his.
When Light relayed the last message to Dark she was shocked so shocked that when Youko came into the clearing she didn't have enough wits to be scared.
Light stared up at this very tall 7 foot high Man who had fox ears and silvery hair past his shoulders, and skin that almost matched her own pale complexion. His eyes of gold showed power that hadn't yet been unleased. His fingertips had claws of a fox sharp and dangerous and every finger movement he made caused muscles to roll and show his real power.
Kurone rose and said in demon, "Youko there is no need to drug them, they are willing to come with us or at least me. We can speak to the golden haired one called Light in Japanese, but the darik haired one Dark doesn't know it, but only speaks their strange language."
Youko looked down at his friend, "They will come without a fuss?"
"Yes."
"Then let's go, there is much we must do." THen in Japanese said, "Come both of you if you are to come with us we must leave immediately, demons will soon be out celebrating for the moon is full tonight. It is fortunate that we found you before another demon did, for if that was so then there would not be much left of you." Then just turned and walked away.
Kurone shrugged his shoulders and motioned them both to come.
"Light who is that other person?" She asked walking very close to her friend uncertain to trust either of the men.
"I don't know, it seems to be the one in authority here, because Kurone obeyed him right away. It is best we stay on his good side I don't really like him either, but we will probably have to deal with him if we are to get back home." Light said softly stepping over some plants as they walked by.
"Yes we best."
Youko wished he could understand what these girls were saying to know what they were talking about, for it irritated him greatly that he could not understand what they were saying. Looking at Kurone asked, "And how did you happened to run into these girls without mass chaos?"
Kurone looked sheepish then said, "The tall one seems to know nature very well and recognized the signs that someone else besides herself was there and they both sorta tackled me, I think they bruised my cripple wing."
Youko laughed making the girls behind look up to what might they be laughing about.
"You my partner and great escapee can't escape two human girls who happen top know more about the woods then you. Oh this is really funny I must speak with this girl. "
Slowing down he appeared beside light and Dark hurried up to Kurone who was motioning her to walk with him. Youko touched her shoulder and motioned to Kurone and said in Japanese, "I hear that you captured Kurone without any trouble how did you do it?"
" I just listened to the woods and it said someone was spying on me." Light said softly uneasy in his presence.
Youko obvious to her uncomfortable position asked "Yes but how did you capture him, few that I know can get a knife under his chin with out losing much blood."
"Like this," then in a quick and swift moving motion knocked him to his knees and pulled him back further and he felt a cold metal at his throat. "That is how I did it, I just did."
Dark turned and Kurone gasped shocked, Great Youko Kurama had been captured by a human!
Youko smirked and said, "Good but not good enough." Taking hold of the arms around hi shoulder pulled her forward and now on her back had Light pinned to the ground him leaning over her.
"You were good but not good enough. Better luck next…" Youko stopped, as he had said that he had looked into her eyes, as he stared at them they seemed to become an endless abyss of green. HE shock his head and stood. Light followed, and looked at Dark they knew why Youko had faltered, they both had an ability that when their anger flared that it would cause their eyes to if they ever caught the person they were mad at's eyes they could hold them prisoner till they decided.
Kurone shuddered, and thought, "What have we gotten ourselves into takng these humans home with us?"
Youko stiffly walked ahead confused at why her eyes had controlled him like that.
As they arrived at a clearing Kurone turned to Light and said, "From here you must be blindfolded for only the two of us are allowed to see the location of our home."
Relaying the message to Dark, though they both did not like the idea of it agreed. After being blindfolded they were being led and their captors soon found that it would be easier to just carry their willing prisoners.
Kurone told Light to tell Dark that he was going to carry her so she wouldn't trip as much. She did and when Dark was picked up she was very stiff in Kurone's arms till Dark grew tired and slowly fell asleep to the soft rythem of footsteps in the woods and laid her head on Kurone's shoulder.
Kurone smiled down at Dark who now was asleep.
Light waited for Kurone had told her that both of them were going to be carried, but she didn't know that Youko was going to carry her.
Youko came to the enchanting being and picked her up and saw and felt exactly how light she actually was it was like he was carrying a feather. Her face showed that she wasn't sure what she should think being carried by someone. But she held on so as to not fall and hurt herself, arms around His neck he felt her warm breath on his ear, she had laid her head on his shoulder a sigh and then he felt her relax.
"I hope you will feel comfortable in my humble home." He said to her. At his voice she stiffened. She hadn't expected that Youko would carry her!
"When I see it we shall see."
"What if I make sure your blind fold stays on?"
"Then I will never see you home, I would have to wait till it can off to know what I thought of it."
"No you would have to do as the blind do, feel it."
She shivered at such a thought Youko cocked his head down at her when she shivered, for to him to feel his home it was a great honor. Oh well he would make her feel honored while she was in his home.
