Field of Promises

Krystal Fox: This chapter will reveal something very important so please pay attention and maybe you can piece together the puzzle.
I do not own any of Yu Yu Hakusho at all.
Chapter 26 It can't be.
Dark was on a rampage. First her best friend was keeping secrets from her then she now had a disease that couldn't be cured and then both her friend and daughter go missing and her daughter returns only to give them news that their enemies were hurting her best friend.
Could her life get any worse? Dark thought as she shook her head.
And sure enough before they could count to ten it had begun to rain very hard and coldly. Stupid friend who won't tell secrets, stupid fate that has to be so cruel…Dark continued cursing at everything till finally the males in their group finally got the Blimey gate open.
Dark stormed into the castle Kurone and youko following. Raven holding tightly to Kurone's neck as she rode piggyback style.
A servant looked up from her cleaning of washing the tiles and gasped, scooting as fast as she could away from these strangers.
Dark calmed a bit and knelt beside the girl and asked, "Girl do you know where your master is at the moment?"
"Y…yes milady. H…he's upstairs, the master that is." The girl sputtered out like a frightened little child that she was.
"Thank you, and what is your name?" Dark asked trying to calm this terrified little girl.
"Mir…Mirende milady." She said softly.
"Why thank you Mirende." Dark said rising then promptly looking to the stairs gripped her fire poker a little harder ready for war.
The small group followed their "temporary" leader as she went determinedly up the stairs.
Youko watched this little lady go boldly up the stairs with only a metal rod in her hands that only had one little pointed end. I have this ghastly sensation that this all is for vain and I have lost my precious Light. I pray that she isn't gone. He said to himself.
As they neared the two large doors at the top of the stairs they heard arguing, loud and obnoxious. They will be no more if they have done a thing to MY Light. Youko said reaching into his pocket for a special seed.
The Evil Forest
Light looked around, all that she felt was pain. Pain so strong that was all she could think about. She saw black and shadows everywhere. All this gave her the shivers. The shadows seemed to be trying to swallow her up and steal away her very essence. She could feel the pain level rise then lower then dramatically rise and barely fall.
She could feel it, she had not but 3 days, if that, left in her life. How she knew she didn't know.
She struggled to try and get up but the energy around her would not let her even barely move.
Finally she felt absolutely still nothing even her own breathing.
Sitting up she saw in front of her the strangest thing, a large grandfather clock.
Not one that is the size of your height or father's height. But this one seemed to be 20 feet tall. Looking up found that there was a strange sight at the top of this clock. It seemed to be some kind of platform. This platform held two things, they were people looking. Suddenly the clock began to chime, it chimed 7 beautiful dongs. As each number was donged the two people seemed to become more and more alive looking until they looked like they could live and breath like any other person.
Light found that she could stand up, so she did and stared at these two people. Then it happened, she saw movement, Light blinked then rubbed her eyes, and watched as the two people scaled the clock downwards as easily as if the clock had been a ladder.
In a blink of an eye they were before her. Looking now saw that one was a man who had long silver/gray hair and deep blue eyes. He was muscular and quite handsome but as you looked closely you could see that this face and skin had a wood-like texture to it.
The other was a woman and she also had long silver/gray hair but her eyes were green. She was the perfect match for her partner, and just as beautiful. She too looked like her skin was made of wood.
Then the man spoke, "Welcome oh priestess, we have waited long for your coming."
"What? I'm no priestess." Light said softly. "infact I'm going to be dying here soon so how could I be this priestess?" Not understanding a thing of what this man had said to her.
"It doesn't mean that you aren't." The woman said in a musical voice.
"yes, exactly what Morning said. Besides if you are in so much pain from your wounds, why are you standing and why do you know you is going to die?" The man said with a knowing voice.
"Um, I have no idea but all I know is it's creepy here and I just want to see my Youko." She said sitting down quite sadly.
The two being exchanged looks and sat on either side of her.
"Evening here was trying to make you feel better not hurt you more." The musical voice said
"Yes just as Morning has said, I mean no harm. We are only here to help you as the new Priestess of TIME. For you were given this task as a young girl and only now has it come into great need that you use your power." Evening said looking at her with his deep blue eyes.
"Okay, if I am this Priestess person…I do remember a strange event when I was younger…but still what is so important the I have to do anyways? I mean I probably have a hysterical fox and little girl looking for me and a rampaging friend and probably all the three worlds are suffering from all their rage together, not to mention my best friend's husband. Or there's those evil creeps who hurt me and sent me off into this evil woods….." she started to sob as she pondered and despaired over these thoughts. "Plus my friends still don't know that I have an incurable disease and could die any day. And Youko….Oh Youko" She broke down into deep sobs that wracked her body.
Morning took Light into her arms and rocked her humming a tune that sounded like the wind through trees on an autumn day. Ever so slowly this calmed Light and before either of the beings knew it their charge was asleep and resting in peace.
"This may take longer then we expected." Evening said looking down at the worn and tired lady.
"She is mentally, emotionally and physically hurt, you can't expect that kind of thing to immediately heal in an instant. It will take what little time we have left after those dingle do fuss's freed our enemy. We will just have to trust that she will learn and learn quickly." Morning said softly looking worried.
Back at the Castle.
The gang walked in as they saw Karasu standing with his back to them yelling at Yomi who did not look very blind.
"You're the one who said, "Let's go dispose of the other one and leave this one here." and what happens we lose her. The only key to getting that ultimate power of the world.!" Karasu said yelling in Yomi's face.
"Well I'm not the one who was obsessing over how to hurt someone and then doing it. Or planning on keeping one as a play thing and then throwing it away to the tras….."Yomi froze in his sentence as he saw (yes folks SAW as in he has eyes that he can see with…in that he is NOT blind) the small group of people standing in the doorway with the person that they were arguing over having gone missing.
Yomi wasn't happy cause he saw the child's parents and they didn't look happy. Plus there were his enemies from the Dark tournament there and YOUKO KURAMA!
Oh boy! Yomi thought What have I gotten myself into this time? This can't be good if Youko is involved. I might as well say I am dead meat.
(At least Yomi admits it when knows he can't win no such luck with Karasu.)
Karasu turned and smiled, "Oh look practice games to play with." He said his mirth returning in the hope of more people to torture.
Dark walked forward, "Where is my friend?"
"Who?" Karasu said acting all innocent.
"Light! And don't you dare say you don't know where she is, cause my daughter says she was here and if you don't start talking I'll start carving." She said getting a little red in the face.
Karasu wasn't worried, he didn't feel anything about this woman that he should be scared of..
Boy was his wrong……
