Dragonelf 8: Ugh! I'm going to die cause my teachers are stupid. -.- Oh well here's the next chapter, and Thank You so much for the reviews.

Chapter 9: One Twin missing

Brad looked at the new form he had taken; through the mirror Kajiua gave him. Triangle tattoos were on the sides of his cheek, two horns were lad back against is head peaking out of his long spiked back blond hair, his pupils were now slits behind bright orange eyes, fangs slipped out beneath his lips, his ears were like that of a Kappa's, very spiky fin like, Spikes ran down form is hair line to the tip of a dinosaur like tail, his feet were now bare revealing three thick toes raptor like claws at the end of it, the nails Brad had on his hand where equally as sharp and pointed, his bulged out of his skin, his clothes completely destroyed, and last was a strange single gold scale placed in the middle of his neck. Brad's body was still hunched down for the intense pain it took to rid his human blood, his now waist length hair was swept across the floor. Lightly he felt a robe being place over his flesh.

"You feel better, Brad?" said Kajiua as he slipped a simple rock in Bard's hand.

Brad looked at the rock coldly. He then squeezed it, and it shattered into a thin wispy dust. A smile twisted his face his fangs fully revealed, with pleasure. The smile seeming too long for his face.

"I do now," answered Brad in a deep growling voice.

Elsewhere

Takiko slowly opened her eyes; exhaustion filled her being, as she lay there on the ground. Slowly she lifted her hand to her face, starring at it intently. 'I could've sworn I was dead,' thought Takiko as she stood up. Only to fall right back down in dizziness.

"Ugh…"

Takiko turned around at the sudden noise to see a familiar boy laying face down in the ground, his fur hat was not to far form his body.

"Tomite!" cried Takiko as she rushed to him.

Tomite slowly opened his eyes to the sounds of a very familiar. Slowly he turned his body so that he was looking directed into the sky. A face loomed above him, one he recognized all to well. Shock mingled in his expression as he looked at his once dead priestess, his features quickly changed to fear.

"AAAAAAHHHHH! A GHOST!" screamed Tomite trying to back away.

'Whack!'

"I'm not a ghost," said Takiko in indignation.

Tomite rubbed the mark on his cheek when Takiko slapped him, trying to soothe the pain that was swelling in that spot. 'It hurt, it actually hurt, but ghost can't feel pain nor can they cause pain unless they're protecting something,' thought Tomite rubbing more vigorously then before. Realization suddenly dawned on him as he looked at the hand was once using to rub his cheek. He was a live and breathing, he could feel each breath and his heart ticking. He then turned to Takiko and grabbed her hand. Warm soft skin was felt beneath his fingers as Tomite realized she too was alive.

"Takiko? Is that really you?" asked Tomite.

"Yes it's me, Tomite. What's going on, where are we," asked Takiko urgently.

"I'll answer that," said a strange voice form nowhere.

"Who said that!" cried Tomite looking around the surrounding area for the person.

A bright light slowly appeared in front of them and a figure slowly emerged form it. A snake was entwined around him as he took careful steps. Takiko instantly recognized him as the god she summoned so long ago.

"It's Genbu," cried Takiko in surprise.

"Hello Takiko, it's been a while," smiled Genbu gently.

"All the gods have had their priestess summoned, but something has happen… Tomite get your head out of the dirt," ordered Genbu.

Tomite was literally grinding his head in the earth by bowing to the god of the north. Tomite lifted his head little pepples fell to the floor form his face.

"Yes my lord," replied Tomite standing up.

"Someone has come to this world reviving all of the celestial warriors form all four gods, bringing the priestess with her."

"You know who she is?"

"Yes me and the other gods have spoken with her and found her to be trustworthy. She really doesn't know what's going on."

"Why?"

"She was forced to come here form her world. Currently she is gathering all the celestial warriors; right now she has all seven Suzaku warriors. But eventually she'll gather the others. I want you to go out looking for her."

"What about the other Celestial warriors of Genbu?" asked Tomite.

"We gods gave her special items to solve the problem. The warriors will naturally be drawn to her."

"What's her name?" asked Takiko.

"Her names Yuko Susana," answered Genbu.

Yuko's P.O.V

I could feel my body lunged forward as I frantically gasped for air. I could feel small droplets of sweat fall down my face form the mere memory of my dream. I had dreamt about Brad coming here to hurt me once more, then getting really mad about something and hurting me more, but what as most frightening was that when he hit each blow, the pain felt so realistic. I lifted my hand to my mouth and felt something wet so I examined it with my finger, a single red drop dripped down my finger. I cleaned my hand and began sucking on my lip, 'I must have split my lip while sleeping,' I thought and I sucked the blood out staring at my surrounds. The Suzaku seven were all sleeping peacefully along with Miaka. They all looked so comfortable that I so felt at peace, but I was mostly watching the one called Tasuki as his chest slowly raised and fell. 'Why do I always end up hurting him,' I thought as I looked all the memories, 'sure this time it was his fault, but it was my horses carrot he took. Poor Tasuki that looked really painful to get kicked like that.' I winced at the pained expression of Tasuki as he flew in the air with hooves marks on his face. I could feel my tail start tapping with each breath. I was about to fall asleep, when I heard a sweet melodic tune of a flute.

No P.O.V

Each note pulsed through Yuko's every being claming her to her core, but the melody was quickly replace with the sounds of shouting and the thuds of hitting. Yuko began to get a little nervous at this point and quickly crawled to Tasuki, her tail brushing over Mitsukake's cat Tama. Yuko began shaking Tasuki vigorously.

"Tasuki… Tasuki… Tasuki wake up!" whispered Yuko shaking harder.

"Huh? What is it?" said a sleepy Tasuki looking up at Yuko.

"Tasuki, I hear someone getting hurt, I need your help. It sounds serious," said Yuko hearing the sounds getting harder.

"I don't hear nothin'," said Tasuki as he went to bed again.

"But Tasuki my hearings stronger than yours," argued Yuko, but really shouldn't have bothered.

Tasuki was already asleep again. Yuko frowned in disappointment and stood up to go by herself. She could something warm and fuzzy brush up against her leg, looking down she saw Tama rubbing against her legs, smiling up at her while meowing.

"Tama right? You can hear it too can't you?" asked Yuko.

"Meow," confirmed the cat.

"Can you do me a favor?"

"Meow?"

"Can watch over everybody here while I go check out that noise?"

"Meow."

"Alright," said Yuko as she got up and left.

The sounds weren't far away, but they weren't exactly close either. Yuko worked her way to the noise and quickly found the clearing. She gasped in horror and shock as she saw bandits pounding on this boy. He looked seriously hurt as blood gushed out of new scratches and cuts; a flute was lying close by. Yuko covered her mouth as images flashed before her eyes. They were all about Brad and all of his victims before she made the contract with him, and she quickly found herself shaking.

"Okay that it now lets get that money he has," said one bandit to his college.

Yuko instantly felt herself running as she garbed the injured boy, protecting him form the bandits. A strange blue Chinese symbol was tattooed on his body. But other than that his clothes were drenched with blood. Yuko kicked the man before her as she tried her best to lift the boy.

"WENCH!" cried the bandit as he brought out a knife.

"Hey, she looks good. Let's sell her into prostitution," smiled the man's college as he brought out and chain whip.

Yuko could feel fear swell up inside her. She had always seen movies like this where someone stands up to someone with a weapon as they protected someone, but in real life it was a different story. As she let the scream escape her mouth. Pray to heaven that the Suzaku seven would hear her cry.

Miaka lurched forward along with the others as they heard the blood-curling cry. Tama began to freak out as he ran back and forth. The scream came again, and the others jumped up, recognizing the voice.

"That's Yuko!" cried Miaka in fear.

"Hurry we have to get to her!" cried Chichiri.

The warriors soon ran through the forest towards the sounds of fight. Tasuki was in a panic, 'She had woken me to get my help, but I didn't stay awake!' thought Taksuki putting the pieces together. 'So she went on her own! This time it's my fault! Hold on!'

Yuko clawed at the hand that was tightly squeezing her throat, her face was slightly turning red as she tried to get free and gasp in air. 'Someone help,' thought Yuko tears springing to her eyes.
