Chapter 27 Times end
Light opened her eyes and took a deep breath. Well I am still alive. That is good.
She looked around and saw Morning and Evening coming towards her with a basket of fruit. "Ah I see we have arrived in time." Morning said cheerfully.
"We have brought you food that you might eat. Morning realized that you are not like us and you do need food to survive." Evening said handing her an apple and a small bowl of strawberries.
"Thank you. But aren't you off that strange looking clock over there?" Light said eating as her hurting stomach was relived with food.
"Yes we are." Evening said softly as he and Morning sat beside her. "But as the time comes we wake to help guide the priestess of time that she might fix the gap in space and time."
"What do you mean by a gap in space and time?" Light said confused. She grabbed another strawberry and ate it.
"The men who hurt you, when they were searching for a way to control time for their pleasure they opened a vortex that is slowly eating away the future time and the life of time's priestess."
"So that is why I am dying of a disease that no doctor knows." Light said understanding now why things had happened. She turned and looking at Evening asked, "Please would you explain how Karasu and Yomi caused this?"
"Of course. It began almost a year ago…."
Flashback one year in Makia
Karasu laughed the controller gem they had stolen was the last item they needed to search through the ages for the thing or person they needed to get to steal time for them to control.
Yomi was putting the last of the final touches on the mirror he had created by melting a telepathic demoness, a silver goblet with vampire blood in it and the controller gem. (Which is used correctly could control anything desired for a certain amount of time)
The "blind" lord had somehow melded all these things together then melted them down creating the most hauntingly beautiful mirror they had ever seen.
"Is it done?" karasu said walking over awestruck by the beauty of the wonderful mirror that was in front of them.
"Yes. Let's try it." Yomi went over to it and touching the mirror's surface said, "Show us what we can have that will control time."
With that there was a mighty burst of light and the entire room was enveloped in a bright blue light. Before their eyes was revealed many beautiful dark haired women and it began with a woman wearing ancient clothing and slowly over the years the women became more sophisticated. All through these pictures they wielded an enormous amount of power and strength they had in them a power that was unimaginable.
The mirror then spoke in a haunting and sad voice, "By these women time was protected by these women they were protected, time was guarded Priestesses are they. Time's only controller and peacekeeper. Priestess of time." Then the light vanished and the mirror suddenly was only a mirror again.
Karasu and Yomi looked at each other and smiled now all they had to do was find a dark haired girl or woman that had the attributes of these other women and then they had but to use another controller stone and then steal the power enough to create what they wanted from it.
End of flashback.
"Wait a minute," Light said slowly sitting up more, aching from her wounds, "I am not dark haired, I am a blond, why am I chosen to do this job?"
Morning sighed, "The thing was all those other priestesses had dark hair and were devil like on the outside but inside they were little angels. You, Light are wonderfully angelic on the outside but inside you have a devil. Some how the process was reversed and because of it you are dying. But we need you to help us, as long as those two have that mirror they will continually be causing rifts in the time system. We need you to stop it.
In the "blind" lord's castle.
Dark stared at this tall maniac who was thinking that he was going to be able to hurt her, an unlikely story.
Reaching up, grabbed Karasu's collar, and well he wasn't prepared for such a small young woman to do this do him but she did. She slapped him right across the cheek. Then took her fire poker and hit his head.
Karasu fell to the ground, dark was on a roll, taking her metal stick hit karasu on his head till she could see blood then said with the point of the weapon to his throat.
"Where is Light?" Dark demanded.
The Urameshi gang stood back in awe of this little woman's fierce anger. Youko was getting mad too. Kurone was interested.
Karasu could see stars around his head, or wait were they crows or birdies?
He looked up at 4 darks and said, "She is gone, and I sent her off to Death forest."
Youko exploded, "DEATH FOREST! How dare you! Before Dark could ask what death forest was She was off of Karasu and Youko had a scary looking whip that was alive, with the ends of the whip having mouths like his death tree. He hit karasu with it till Karasu was a pile of blood and gore on the floor of the castle. Youko was so mad that he was shaking.
Kurone knew that if Youko wasn't stopped he would go blood crazy and not recognize friend from foe.
Handing little raven to yuusuke ran over to his friend and helps him in his arms tight so that he wouldn't be able to do anything else.
After the tension in the room dropped Dark asked, "What is Death forest?"
Kurone looked at the floor tightening his grip on Youko and said, "Death forest is a forest that is made up of evil trees filled with dead souls that they devoured. If any one survived in there they could be inches from the edge of the forest and never know it was there. The trees try to bring you to the center of the forest and no one knows what is at the center of the forest cause no one has survived to tell the tale. And you can't see it overhead in the sky cause of the thick over hanging trees."
Dark shocked realized now that there was no hope that Light would be returned to her, her best friend was gone. Gone. Dead. Looking up saw that Yomi was trying to get away. But she was too drained to do anything all her adrenaline was taken in hitting karasu and thinking back realized that she had put karasu's eyes out in her anger and neither one was aware enough to notice.
Raven had been listening this entire time and she was not happy. Light was gone. She had gotten that much and that is was those two jerks fault. And one of them was dead but the other was trying to get away. Squirming got out of Yuusuke's arms even though he protested, until Genkia shook her head for him to stop. She went charging towards Yomi just as her mommy earlier.
She never noticed it but her feet left the ground and she was flying towards Yomi full blast. Taking out her claws, (she doesn't realize what she is doing) and attacked. Pouncing knocked him to the ground and held her claws to his throat in warning not to move.
Kurone was very proud as he watched his daughter fly to Yomi attack and use claws to subdue him. He let go of Youko and walked over letting his claws show and said, "I don't think you should leave. You have a lot of answering to do."
Dark walked over, kneeling demanded, "Alright buddy," she said as her own wings and claws appeared, she is so stressed that her demon abilities are coming back. "How did you find my friend and daughter in the first place and why did you want them?"
Yomi looked up at this group that had killed his partner and now had him pinned. I think I better think of something quick or my whole plan will fail and I won't get what I want.
Krystal Fox: Well we are getting closer I fear that this story is only going to last another 3 chapters before it becomes all dry, if it hasn't already. Cause other wise it would be called killing the story line if I continued after that. But I will see if I can make some mini stories of "reading between the lines" of this story. So if you have any ideas for what would be a good idea to make for a mini story? Or a longer explanation of this story tells me please.
