Demons. N. Angels

Koway: well, I thank Kisune of Darkness for reviewing and liking this story. I like writing this one and think it's fun. I'll announce the pairings, if any, at the end of this chapter. This story is going to be worked on by a friend of mine, Leon Shinosha, as well as myself. We hope you enjoy this chapter.

Leon: yep! We really like this one! Oh, and Kuwabara is NOT gay! He thought Krad was a girl…ya know? Long hair? Oh well, I'm going to put a bit of shonen-ai in it but not with kuwabara. You'll find out who's with who later because I get to write a few chapters. Thanks, bye!

Chapter 3: Alliances

/Dark! The artifact! It's glowing/ Daisuke yelled in Dark's mind as the light got brighter.

The black-winged angel stopped to see what was happening and, sure enough, the 'Crown of the Kings' was giving off a really bright light as well as an evil source of energy.

"Great, we should've sealed it before it was at its full power!" Dark said as he landed. "We'll seal it now."

He took out a single black feather and began chanting. That's when trouble showed up.

"Can you see the darkness of heart? I want to keep it dark, for I am Dark Mousy…" The golden angel smirked at his other half before he continued. "Never forget, little mouse…you are mine."

"Not if I can help it!" Dark shot a feather, which was easily dodged. /Not good. I'm too weak.../

Krad slowly made his way towards his prey. Dark glanced to the artifact and flew away. As the hunter smirked, Yusuke fired his spirit gun, hitting Dark's wing. Hiei threw his sword, striking Krad's leg.

Krad beat his wings, forcing the detectives to dodge an assault of magic feathers.

(Krad! What about Dark?)

Krad looked to where he saw his angel fall. As he was about to leave, Kurama used his rose whip and rendered him immobile.

"You will not escape this time, Hikari." He said, tightening his hold. "You are under arrest by Spirit World."

"You tell'em Kurama!" Kuwabara said happily. "No one messes with Kuwabara's Spirit Detectives! HAHAHAHAHA! OOOWWW!"

"Shut it already, Kuwabara. And it's Yusuke's Detectives!" Yusuke hit his friend's head with a hard punch.

Hiei stared at their new captive. 'His eyes tell of sadness and longing...I wonder.' Hiei walked to where Dark had fallen and felt a hard glare on him. Turning, he saw that it was Krad. 'As I thought.' Hiei gave a smirk.

"Well, we got the—"

"Ahhhh!" A hoarse cry startled them all and the light that emitted from the artifact made them vanish…

In a dark wasteland, four people stood watching all that was happening. There wore robes of the darkest black with a symbol embedded in silver on the hoods. "The time has come." A deep voice said. "Everything is prepared; we need only to gather the chosen ones and we shall gain infinite power."

The others nodded in agreement as the leader turned to a large altar… "Luki, bring them to me."

"Yes, my lord." Luki answered and vanished into the overlooking shadows. The others went soon after and the leader kneeled before the altar. "Wait a bit longer…they are coming."

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The light from the artifact died down. Everyone was down…Yusuke was the first to move. He blinked as he sat up. "What the hell was that?" He asked softly, shaking a wave of dizziness away.

"Huh? Guys?" Yusuke saw that the others were also knocked and nudged Kuwabara's arm. "Hey! Wake up already!"

"Five more minutes…Yukina just made cookies…" Kuwabara turned over and Yusuke's eye twitched in annoyance.

"UP!" He yelled, kicking the human into a tree.

Kuwabara rubbed his head. "What was that for Uramshi! I was resting!"

"C'mon, we're on o job, remember?"

"Since when did you care?" Kuwabara narrowed his eyes for a tough appearance and got an I-don't-care-but-we-have-a-killer-demon-on-our-hands look.

"Eh, he heh. Just wondering…hey, where's Kurama?"

"Laying beside the tree." The detective then turned to the spot of bloodied grass. "Wow. I actually hit him. In the air even. Cool."

"Cool? You think that's cool?" The two turned to see Krad standing there with a glare that could kill.

"How the heck did you get outta there! Kurama had you!"

"It takes more than a simple plant to keep an S class demon in check." The man replied calmly. Kuwabara took a step back. Yusuke just grinned.

"I should've known there was a reason Koenma gave us the case. Now I want to fight you one on one."

"Heh heh. In due time detective, in due time; I've rather busy at the moment and have a certain thief to care for." Krad gave him a short bow. "However, I fear that something has happened."

"What do you mean?" Yusuke asked, suddenly feeling a huge amount of energy. He looked towards Kurama and back to where Krad should have been. "Where the-?"

"Urameshi!" Kuwabara pointed over to Dark. Krad was beside him. Yusuke watched as his eyes became wide with fear.

((Master Satoshi...))

(His soul's gone. The artifact.) The blue-haired boy replied.

"Oi! What's got you all upset?" Yusuke asked. 'Okay, make him drop his guard, then attack.'

"Dark…his soul has been taken. As, I'm guessing, your friends have also." The angel replied in a barely audible tone.

"What!" The detectives gasped in shock.

"See for yourselves if you do not believe me. The 'Crown of the Kings' is a Hikari artifact that imprisons the souls of four twisted demons. Yu Hikari was the creator." Krad took Dark in his arms. "The souls of others are needed to release them. They are used as a sacrifice and the gathered souls must either be broken or given willingly."

"Urameshi, I think he's right. Hiei and Kurama haven't woken up yet and they usually would if I shook'em…" Kuwabara said in a sad voice.

Yusuke growled and turned to Krad, who was beginning to leave. "Yo! Krad, right? How do we get them back?"

Krad laughed at them. "What's so funny?" Kuwabara asked.

"You require the help of a demon who has killed humans, wishes to kill you, and who is stronger than yourself. It's quite amusing." The golden-haired angel said.

"Let's leave him Urameshi, we'll ask Koenma."

"No!" Yusuke looked into golden eyes as he spoke. "If you help us, I'll make it so that you won't be arrested or prosecuted for the humans. I bet you had a good reason because you care for one."

"What are you doing Urameshi? He's an S class!" Kuwabara whispered. Yusuke merely watched Krad's reaction.

"I do not care for any human." He announced and turned to leave. Yusuke ran and grabbed his wrist, getting a surprised look from Krad. The marks of the Mazaku tribe appeared over Yusuke's body and he pointed to the unconscious thief. Krad felt his power.

"What about him?" he asked. Krad looked away. "Well?"

"Fine, we will make a temporary truce. And, you keep up your part of the deal." Krad let down his wings and shook the young detective's hand.

"Yeah, temporary." Yusuke said.

Koway: well that's the end of chapter three. Leon and I hope you liked it. We like this chapter. This story will have a bit of shonen-ai. Leon is writing the next chapter and is adding that. It wasn't my original idea but it will work out. Thanks and please review.
