Field of Promises

By Youkiyra Solar alias Krystal Fox

Krystal Fox: Did any of you guys figure out my riddle at the end of my chapter 24 yet? After reading this chapter it should become quite obvious.

I do not own any of Yu Yu Hakusho at all.

Chapter 25 Confusion?

Dark stood there, she could see that this little girl looked just like her daughter only with an addition of bat wings.

"Raven? Is that you?" She asked cautiously at the little child.

The child looked around and saw Dark and screamed running over, "MOMMY!" She tackled her mommy and started jabbering away so fast you could never have understood her for your life.

"Slow down dear, slow down." Kurone said kneeling down beside them relief in his eyes. Raven's eyes riveted to Kurone and she yelled, "DADDY" and she hung on and started to sob into his shoulder.

"Those…Hic/sob…meanies are hurting Li…sob/hic…excessive sobbing…. They won't stop…sob…they hurt her bad and they are SO mean!" She said as she broke down into heart wrenching sobs.

Youko calmly knelt beside the little family and said, "Raven I need to know, where is Light, is she still with Karasu?"

Raven looked up from her daddy's shoulder and nodded, "They…sniffle…still have her. I was coming to get help. I knew that I would find you…."Looking up at them she sighed and said, "they want me for some reason. They think I am someone but they got wrong person," she said reverting to her little girl talk.

Yuusuke then asked, "Raven, what did they call you?" He said trying to be nice in this touchy moment.

She paused for a moment and then said, "They called me some Pristass or time something," she said not understanding at all what was going on.

Hiei growled, "Then they think that she is the Time Priestess. Then she must be." He said looking at her. Kuwabara and Yuusuke looked at hiei this was more talking they had heard for years. They looked shocked.

Kuwbara went over to Hiei and poked him. Then again and again.

"What are you doing baka?" Hiei said growling.

"I am making sure you are really the silent Hiei we all know." Kuwabara said trying to give another poke only to receive the blunt side of Hiei's sword on his head.

Youko stood, looking at the group said, "then anything could have happened to Light." Silence covered the group. They all knew that enemies if they found no use for a captive would get rid of it after "using" it.

Dark's eyes watered, "They better still have her alive and well or I will poke their eyeballs out with a red hot fire poker." She said rising preparing for war.

The group turned and prepared to go to the Castle Terrible. (Yomi's hated rock house)

ANOTHER PLACE AND TIME

She was floating. No she was falling. What was happening? She looked at the world around her. The ceiling was the floor, the outside was the inside, and the inside was the outside. The reasonable was the fantasy the fantasy the factual. Nothing made sense. The imagination ran wild.

The wallpaper seemed to come alive, ghosts were there and they walked. Four doors became five. The calendars on the walls went backwards. She was walking in a world that caused your mind to spin. Dogs' climbed trees apples growth became seeds. Fall became summer, Spring then Winter not the other way around. Numbers took wing and flew, time…. Time…time…TIME.

The words echoed in her head as they became more and more powerful and demanding as if they wanted something from her. They pushed her and grabbed at her. She started to run. The time was chasing her, she couldn't escape it. Slowly it drew closer; strong it was yet still was very weak.

What? Where? And how did she get here? How could she escape this living nightmare? What was she to do?

Back with the group.

Dark growled as they saw the castle this was it, the moment of truth. She would get her friend and her life would go back to normal.

Yeah, right Dark, she said to herself Normal. Your daughter is growing bat wings like your husband and your best friend has a disease that is slowing killing her. Yeah right Normal. I could laugh so much.

Kurone saw a troubled look on his wife's face and put hand on her shoulder while having his daughter on his shoulders they walked following a very troubled fox.

"Dark, I think this trip is finally getting on Youko's nerves. He has barely said a word since we started this journey and I think his worry is mounting to mountains if we don't find Light soon."

Dark nodded, "Then these jerks will get what they deserve for hurting my life."

Kurone sighed; this was going to be an interesting meeting with Yomi and Karasu.

Krystal Fox: Yeah this is a short chapter but My life is really busy right now so I thought it was better to at least get a short chapter up then to delay longer for a longer one. Then you will just have to keep reading many smaller chapters. Anyways I am sure this chapter will help you to see where this twisted mind is slowly going.
