Chapter Seventeen: "Attack in the Darkness"

Sometime after Kurama had left, Tyerva stirred somewhat, the pain had appeared in her body once more. She winced, still being held by Hiei… yet he was dead out now. She looked up to him, and looked around then. Her wolven eyes able to see in the darkest places. She sighed, blinking. Her ears twitched, for some reason she heard distant footsteps. Seeing everyone in her group, all of whom dead asleep. Wiggling out of Hiei's grip, she rolled away from him somewhat, and sat up. Looking around, she paid no more attention to her pain. She bore her fangs, seeing a shadow run past them. She was about to wake everyone up, when she felt cold hands upon her mouth, and around her chest. Holding her. She whimpered somewhat, hardly making any noise, as she looked behind her to see her capturer.

It looked like a ninja at the first look, yet it was a ninja demon. He wore of course a mask around his face, and fingerless gloves. Wearing all black of course. All that could be seen on his face was his dark blue eyes. He was looking down at her, shaking his head as if telling her not to fight or anything.

Tyerva though, being in her weakened state, even if she wanted to she couldn't fight. Her tail lay limp at her side, and ears lay flat on her head. Her Tegon eye was closed, something in the medication that Kurama had given her somewhat weakened her Tegon eye. She whined softly though, unable to move due to the great strength of her captor.

It seemed like her captor was the only ninja there, yet she was wrong in believing so… There was many around them, yet their target… was her. So they paid no attention to the sleeping others. The one that had a hold on her soon removed his mask, showing his true demon self. His eyes of course were the dark blue, his hair was an even darker blue and it went down to his shoulders. He had various scars upon his face, yet… he seemed hot. According to Tyerva… Though she knew he was dangerous, and she needed to worn the others as soon as she could. Her captor bore his fangs, as if knowing what she was thinking. He moved his mouth closer to her wolven ears, "…Relax Tyerva… Nothing shall happen to yas…" He muttered, for some reason, Tyerva's strength just died on her. Like his voice put her into a trance, all she could do was lay there, and feel what was happening around her. Her eyes even felt heavy, and not due to lack of sleep. Yet she soon felt a sharp pain on the back of her neck, and she blacked out…

"Hah, I can't believe we got her…" "It was soooo easy!" "We still half to be on alert though, she does have serious power…" A number of hushed voices was heard by the slowly awakening Tyerva. It felt like she was on a normal feeling bed, with a cover over her. Her tail was hidden by it, as was her body except her head. Her tail began twitching at the tip, unnoticeable by her captors. Her ears lay flat unmoving, as she continued to listen to them. Soon though, she got very uncomfortable, and needed to move. Taking a soft, and highly quiet breath, she made a groaning noise, like someone half awake, yet she then turned around facing away from her captors, and curled up underneath the blanket, acting like she was still asleep, by breathing deeply.

Her captors of course looked over to her, watching her carefully, yet they did nothing, and went back to their talking.

Tyerva sighed quietly, as she opened her eyes, completely hidden underneath the blanket; her Tegon eye was still closed. Which made her worry, cause she couldn't call for Hiei without it…

After a few minutes though… Tyerva twitched, needing to sneeze, which she knew if she did it would giver her cover… Whining softly, yet quietly enough so they couldn't hear her. She rubbed her nose, hoping the sneeze wouldn't come up… yet to her much discomfort… it did. Sneezing, her captors looked to her once again; now knowing she was awake. One of them walked over to her, and sat on the edge of the bed. He soon gripped the blanket, and pulled it down so the top half of Tyerva could be seen. Tyerva whimpered, curling up into a tight ball, making sure her face couldn't be seen. Her tail wrapped up along with her body, and ears of course lay flat.

The captor that was sitting on the bed with her, was the one who caught her… His dark blue eyes scanned Tyerva of all her movement, as he then lay his hand upon her head, smirking somewhat. "…Now, now Tyerva… I've told you I wouldn't harm you…" He softly said, yet once again… his voice put Tyerva into something like a trance. Her body went limp, yet she had more energy to keep her eyes open this time, as her body uncurled somewhat from the limpness of it. Her eyes quickly darted to look to him, her own fangs over lapping her lower lip, as she soon shut her eyes, and moved back into the ball slightly.

Her captor soon slinked his arms around her frame, holding her in his arms now. He looked down at her, still smirking. "Tyerva… If we meant any harm… we would've done it by now… don't you agree?" He asked gently.

Tyerva whimpered, as she opened her eyes somewhat, looking up at her captor. Her eyes connected with his, as she watched him for some time… Then for some reason somewhat trusted him, yet not completely. She nodded slowly, as she then broke their eye connection, and she looked around the room… Watching the other Ninja, they looked a lot like the one holding her. Yet they of course had different weapons, hair colors, and styles… Yet they all wore some kind of black for the ninja in them.

Her captor smiled gently, "See? We mean you no harm." He softly stated once again, still holding her of course.

Tyerva looked up at him, and smiled somewhat, nodding.

He soon blinked, "Oh, how rude of me… My name is Shori." He stated, letting her onto her feet.

What will happen to Tyerva, and why did the ninja's kidnap her? Will Hiei, Kurama or any of the other Hero's find her? All will be reviled in the next… YUYU Hakusho Chapter!
