Field of Promises
By Youkiyra Solar alias Krystal Fox
Krystal Fox: Boy I never thought that this story would continue this long. 20 chapters! Wow!
I do not own any of Yu Yu Hakusho at all.
Chapter 24 Between the lines
Raven woke up to the sound of laughing and joking. Then heard a whimper. Opening her eyes saw that she was back in the room where they had left Light but Light was no where to be seen. Creeping towards the door peeked through the lock and saw a ghastly sight before her.
There on the floor was her dear and precious Li and that Karasu fellow was exploding little tiny bombs all around her. There was blood everywhere. Li looked like she was dead, her body lay there and the only sign of life was the slow breathing that proved she still lived.
"Stop it you jerks, leave Li alone. Stop it Leave her alone!" She screamed from her position at the door.
She saw feet move then a face lower to the key hole and saw it was that creepy Yomi fellow.
"Little girl, since you are who we seek then have no reason to keep your friend thus we can do with her as we please." Yomi said then stood and walked away.
Raven was horrified she realized they were going to kill her Light. She couldn't let that happen, she had to get some help. She went to the window there she saw a trelise going from the window all the way to the ground she thought I'll just go and find mommy and daddy and they will help save my LI. All I have to do is find them.
Her ignorance of the Makia made her brave and courageous she was a little girl on a mission. Nothing could stop such determination.
Dark was growing impatient it was the 23rd time within the past hour that the two humans Kuwabara and yuusuke had gotten into an argument and it was getting on her nerves. We are looking for people who could be dead right now and all they can do is argue about which one of them ate the most. They are asking for it.
Kurone saw that look in his wife's eyes and stepped away dragging Youko with him. He knew that that look could mean no good to his own self being, having suffered from this woman and the very same kind of weapon she had held in her hand now. He knew what was coming.
Dark raised the firepoker over her head and then brought it down, yuusuke went down then Kuwbara went down. She went and standing over them waited for them to become conscious again.
"Ohhhhh," Yuusuke groaned rubbing the back of his head. "My head."
Kuwabara just lay there looking at the sky muttering something about pretty birdies flying around.
"Now you two will listen to me!" Dark said in a very menacing voice, "I will have no more arguing, I want all of you to put your full power into finding my friend and daughter. The sooner I find them the sooner those jackasses will be dismembered. So either you agree and work with me or I will leave you here unconscious for the demons nearby to feast upon."
She said this all with absolute truth in her eyes. She was not joking.
They both looked traumatized and in unision they nodded and stood silent and ready to obey her commands. They forgot what an angry mother was like. They learned that lesson quickly.
"If only they could learn their lessons with Genkia just as quickly." Hiei said quietly.
Youko meanwhile was sensing something, a terrible power and energy was slowly starting to cover the land as if the very air was getting thicker or the energy more deadly.
Looking at Kurone saw that he felt it also.
Karasu looked down at the mangled mess they had made of the other female, she lay looking quite dead. Infact he could no longer see her breathing.
"I think she is dead Karasu." Yomi stated as he stood to call the guards.
"Yes, I believe she is. But before you leave her to the elemenst in Makia I want to see the damage I have caused with my mini bombs." Karasu said kneeling. He ran his fingers over the ladies body and stated what he felt. "Three broken ribs, fractured shoulder, three to four slashes on her left cheek, swollen right eye, her hip bone is terribly bruised, let's see," he ran his fingers over her legs, "And we have a twisted ankle and a broken leg. Well yomi itseems that my little ones (his bombs) did more damage than I thought they would."
Yomi chuckled then getting the guards inside the room commanded them, 'Take the body into the woods an leave it there. Don't touch it, we shall leave it to the elements…Wait take her to Death Forest. She will never be found there and she will be left alone. It's the least that we could give this poor lady." Yomi said smirking…
Now let me explain, death forest is a terrible, terrible place. There are trees that are literally evil, they desire to get Youkai power to the center of the forest thus gaining more power within the woods, all the forest is, is a copy of a black hole within a forest. It never came be satisfied and never can be stopped. That was the danger of death forest. All the trees were black and nothing ever saw the sun. You could die with in 1 foot of the outside of the woods and never know it.
The guards left with the body and they were shivering as they went, everyone in Makia feared death forest for no one ever returned from that forest and was sane or for that matter no one ever came out.
Raven was running through the woods she was sure that she would find her family or someone if she just kept running, when she grew tired she sat on the ground beneath a tree, there she felt an iching on her back. She scratched it and then felt something was back there. Startled went to a stream she heard nearby and looked at her reflection.
Gasping her eyes were now huge as dinner plates. On her back were beautiful black wings like those of a bats. Flexing them saw that they moved. She was so startled that she didn't sense herself being watched.
Hiei watched this little girl, this must be the girl Dark spoke of, turning walked over to Dark, touching her shoulder motioned her to follow him. At first she looked annoyed but she could see in his eyes the senerity of his actions.
She followed and not but 20 min from their position they arrived at a river and there on the edge of the bank was a little girl with bat wings just staring at her reflection completely forgetting her mission and why she had left.
Guards left the edge of the Death Forest both shivering from coming too close in contact to the forest. Both of the lizard demons were shedding their skins because they had become so frightened by the Forest but they had obeyed their lord, the female was placed at the edge of the forest and was already being taken further into the woods by the evil trees.
Krystal Fox: I am warning you all, not everything is what it seems, not all things obvious are true and not all things weak have no strength. .
