Chapter 12 Happiness and Problems
Dark looked up at Kurone and smiled, she had been waiting for this moment for a while now. She gently brushed the side of his face then snuggled into his shoulder.
"Come away with me Dark and we can escape, HE will never know." Kurone said tilting her head up once again.
She looked sad then said," I won't be able to Tortugar put a energy chain on my ankle so that I could not escape unless he was awake and when that happens he is very possessive of me."
Kurone growled hugging her close, "I am not going to let you be left here to his cruel perverted mercy. I plan on taking you."
He left her side and motioned for her to follow him back into the room, after pushing the stone window pane open he set two chairs in the way of the window, then put a couple of boxes behind those.
Turning he wished to Dark, "Go over to the fire place and bring me that fire poker, and the bucket full of ashes."
Confused Dark obediently did, once Kurone had them he took the ashes and sprinkled it all over the window pane and then the floor beside the window pane and the ground near that also. With the fire poker he began to expertly use his sycthe to poke the tip of it into the head board above Tortugar's head like a spear. Then from the chain of his scythe he put a feather. The feather went down the chain and began to tickle Tortugar's nose.
Kurone motioned for Dark to get onto his back. She did being careful of his wings. Kurone continued his trick Tortugar's nose began to twitch and move, then an eyelid began to open up and then began to start blinking.
Tortugar opened his eyes and then they moved around the room then landing on Dark on Kurone's back and jumped out of bed in a fury bellowing as Kurone took off.
Having awoken Tortugar the chain on Dark's ankle was lifted letting her become free.
Tortugar charged at them and not noticing the chairs in his path and fell into them and they fell over his face landing on his face against one of the hard boxes. Now in a mad fury rose and wetn running towards the window only to slip on the loose ash and go sliding towards the stone wall.
Tortugar screaming went to the window pane and standing up on it snatched his bow and arrows and prepared to shoot, but as he tried to steady himself the ash left on the windowsill shifted causing him to fall out of the window to the ground beneath.
From the air above Kurone laughed and tossed Dark in the air and then caught her so the he might carry her bridal style.
Tortugar was stunned for a couple of seconds then blinked only to watch as Kurone disappeared into the forest flying quite fast.
"Blast all bats, I lost her. I will get her back though and make her mine before the end." Tortugar said rising and grumpily left to make more evil plans against Youko and Kurone.
Youko opened his eyes and then remembered last night, he looked down at the beautiful vixen that was resting her head on his chest. He brushed the hair away from her face and gently whispered, "Time for "Light" to get up."
"Alright," a cheerful voice said.
Suddenly Youko found lips pushed against his, he smiled and then kissed back. She tasted like sweet honey and smelled like lavender.
"HM, you smell wonderful." Youko said pulling the protector plants closer around them to give more privacy.
"And you don't?" Light said looking up at him a mischievous look on her face.
"OH I feel hurt!" Youko said standing helping her up.
They laughed and rose to a standing position where they kissed again and Youko swept her into his arms and laughed as she smiled at him.
"I think it is time to find Kurone, we should try to cheer him up a bit more." Youko said placing Light back down onto the ground.
Light nodded and the two began to look up into trees nearby and bushes nearby, but they couldn't find Kurone anywhere. The two looked at each other then heard the flapping of wings, looking up saw Kurone smirking with his dear one in his arms.
"Light, there you are!" Dark nearly jumped out of Kurone's arms running to her friend where they embraced in a great hug.
"OH this is wonderful, Now I don't have to go and rescue you and leave Youko!" Light said dancing around with Dark.
The two men looked at Light shocked, this woman was going to go back to Tortugar's and escape again with her friend. Even they did not have that kind of courageous plans.
"Light, you were going to go back to Tortugar's and rescue Dark?" Kurone asked shocked.
"yes." She said pulling her friend down to sit beside her as they listened to THEIR men.
"Do you realize how hard it is to enter into Tortugar's brother's castle then exit again without having an army on your tail." Youko said in a voice that had slight anger.
Light rose a serious look on her face.
Dark was behind her and motioning to the guys that they had pushed it too far, giving a waving signal of stop with her hands.
Youko and Kurone took a step back as a deadly look in her eyes.
"Never, Never, assume that I am a helpless, weak girl who can't do anything to save herself."
She crossed her arms and looked at them and said, "Do either of you know of the assoiation of Black Kai Ninjas?"
"Yes," they said together.
"But what does that human ninja group have to do with you? They are a hated and dangerous group that demons have tried to catch in the human world but usually ended up dead or horribly mutilated. Though from what I hear no demon has ever seen their faces." Youko commented looking confused like Kurone.
"Have you ever tried to catch one?" Light asked.
(Author note: some demons do escape into the human world and while there they hear about a scary group of ninja groups that protect the people unnoticed by all.)
"No, from those who survived the experience they are as deadly as the most powerful demons around, but what has that to do with you?" Youko asked again.
Light took out the long knife of which she had had on her back. , then moving it gently with determined movements then looked at them and said, "I am their leader. Known as the Black Death, hated by demons."
Youko and Kurone look shocked and hurt. Then As she stepped forward he stepped back as if he was trying to get away from her, disgusted by this knew knowledge.
Light looked sad and looked away a tear falling down her cheek, she paused and sighed, "I knew that this wouldn't work out. Dark, you can come if you like but I am leaving."
Dark stood there and looked at both of the men and then said, "I am coming." And quickly followed after her friend not wanting to be with people who disliked her best friend.
Youko watched as they left. Kurone began to follow them.
"Where are you going Kurone?"Youko asked looking confused and upset.
"I don't see what you see is wrong with Light, she loves you and you loved her. Just because she is a demon killer doesn't mean for you to reject her. She laid her heart bare for you, and then you crushed it." Kurone hurried after the girls leaving behind his friend.
Youko looked deserted then said with great anger "fine, they can go, I will fight Tortugar and then perhaps I will die then you will see, you will see!" He said quite angry stomping towards his resting home a between-home house that they would stay at when between thieving raids.
(Don't ask me what Youko wants to have them see.)
Meanwhile a couple hours later Light was crying softly on a hill top, Dark silently sat down with
Kurone who listened as Light said in a voice softer then a whisper, "We need to find some way to get home, I don't want to be here any more."
Kurone asked, "May I come with you? I do have a human form I can hide in, while there that is."
"Yes you can." Light said softly rising. "Do you know a way out?"
"Yes, I can take you to it, and I can also go through it. Come I will show you the way." Kurone said sadly leading the way.
Only two miles away Youko sat silently, he could feel the energy of his friend moving towards the crack in the guard for the human world by the help of his energy seeking plants. He looked in that direction and using a seeing far plant saw the sad looking Light changed into a human form the one he had seen before when he first met her and Kurone and Dark followed her suit.
"NO!" Youko yelled realizing he didn't want her to go. He went running towards the opening . He had to make it in time.
