Chapter 10: Kurama's Mistake
"Alright, everything's prepared. All we need now is Dark." Emiko said happily. The spells were all ready to go and Daisuke nodded. A little white rabbit, With, jumped on his shoulder as he took the capturing incantation Daiki had prepared.
"Good, umm Kuwabara," Daisuke turned to the tall man who gave a what look. "Where are the two people you brought with you? You're friends?"
"Wha—? Ahh! I left them outside!" With that, the teen ran outside and returned a moment later with Hiei and Kurama.
"How could you forget them…?" Emiko asked as they all sweat dropped. Kuwabara gave a nervous laugh as Kosuke and Daiki took the two and placed them on the couch.
"Okay, now can I ask a question?" The family nodded. "Why is it that Yusuke's and Angel dude's body ain't here?"
"That's easy! They all went in with their bodies so their spirits weren't taken!" Towa said with a smile.
'Great, she smiles at that...like Botan saying Bingo...again, crazy family.' The fool's thoughts were interrupted when Daisuke grabbed his arm.
"C'mon, we have to get Dark; he's the only one who can work the counter magic." Kuwabara was amazed at the boy's bravery and gave a nod.
"Right! Don't worry guys, Kuwabara's on his way!" The man ran out of the house and down the street with Daisuke following after and only then did he realize he had no clue where he was going…
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Botan looked at Yusuke. 'How can he sleep at a time like this!' She thought then turned her attention to the others. Hiei was sharpening his sword and Krad was still looking out the window. What caught her attention was Kurama. He continued to glance at the angel from across the room.
'Why is Kurama keep doing that? Is it possible that he is starting to like him as more than an ally? Sure he's beautiful but what is Kurama thinking?'
Kurama, on the other hand was curious as to why Krad would protect them in the first place…'Why would he risk his life? He could have let me be hit and have saved Dark...but he didn't. Why?' A voice inside told the fox to ask.
Kurama waited all the ideas and thoughts flying in his mind. He was startled when Krad was no longer at his spot. "Where did he?"
"Out." Hiei answered, anticipating the question. Kurama looked at him for a second.
"Where? Was he not the one who told us to stay here? And he's gone out somewhere?" Kurama was very confused at the angel's actions and began to walk to the door.
"Hey! Where do you think you're going?" Botan asked as he placed his hand on the knob. "He said to stay here!"
"Yet he leaves." The fox answered and Botan gave up the argument. "Don't worry; I just want to see something. I'll be back soon."
The two watched as he left and slowly returned to what they had been doing. Training and wondering…
Kurama walked down the hall. It was quiet, too quiet. Not even his steps were heard and it worried him. Silence means trouble and trouble is not what they needed at the moment. "Ha!" He head voices from below and looking over the railing, he was able to make out two figures…a shadow of black and an angel of white.
'What are they doing?' he watched as they talked.
"So, they all have been taken care of?" the shadow asked and gave a smirk.
"Yes." Krad gave the answer and the shadow took on a blobby shape until it formed into a person's shape. It walked closer and tapped the angel's wings. Krad raised them in an attack stance and the creature backed away.
"Now, will you keep your deal and—" Krad stopped as he saw Kurama out of the corner of his eye. 'This. Is. Not. Good.' He thought and the creature stopped and glanced around.
"Demon, I have no time to waste, tell me what you want and leave!" The shadow's attention returned to the pale colored angel before him.
"As you wish...I would like the potion you carry, and a snack."
Krad's eyes narrowed as he watched the demon. "All this for, what?" The demon let out a shattering screech and Kurama blocked his ears. Krad bit his lip and the demon stopped. He whispered something that only he and the angel heard before disappeared.
'What was that all about?' the fox asked himself. His green eyes blinked and saw nothing. "Wha—"
"Did I not say stay put?" Kurama turned to find golden eyes staring at him.
"What was all that? Who's taken care of? Why can't you tell us?" Kurama asked more questions and Krad smirked as he said.
"We all have our little secrets now, don't we?" With that said, he returned to where the others were. Kurama, however, walked around and down to where he had seen the creature…that was a big mistake as he soon found out…
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Well now, is someone tired? After one night of staying here?" Dark looked up at the voice, Kuraku. Only he would smile as one was in pain. Slowly, the demon approached the thief; he lightly brushed his cheek and received a sharp bite on his arm. Doing that, however, got him a harsh slap across his back.
Dark coughed a few times and heard his capturer laugh as he struggled. Kuraku looked him over with expressionless eyes. He pinned Dark to the wall and pressed a hand upon his broken wings. At the slightest touch, pain swept through him and he yelled as two black feathered wings burst out dripping with red.
"There! That's the angel I want! I'll be back later, until then!" Kuraku left the crying thief with a seductive smile.
'The pain! I-It's too much...Daisuke, hurry.' Dark couldn't stop his tears and slowly leaned against the wall. His wings were back but the hurt with the slightest touch. Why would he give me my wings? What does he want from me?
'Why is this happening?' Dark's amethyst eyes wandered onto a small window where light was coming through. He sniffed and stopped crying. "I won't die…not here. Not with Kuraku." With that Dark forced his wings to open and fought the pain of each flap until he was use to it. He let out a smile. 'Almost...'
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"We have to hurry! Why are you so slow?" Daisuke called to the older teen who was panting behind him.
"Well I didn't see you fight a demon!" Kuwabara snapped as he caught up. "Sheesh, you could be a bit nicer…"
"Okay, please hurry!" Daisuke ran up the steps till he reached the fountain and he paused. Four people were there, all waiting. One had short blue hair with grey eyes. He wore loose clothes of the same color and stood behind Kuraku. That was Seri. Luki and Renoki stood beside them.
"Why hello, Daisuke Niwa." Renoki said and glared at the human who came up behind him. "Ah! So the idiot did escape."
"Shut up! We're here to kick your souls back into that artworky thingy!"
They all let out a laugh and the leader walked up to him. "I would like to see you try, baka."
"Where is Dark?" Daisuke got their attention and Kuraku gave an evil smile.
"He is, in my control, little Daisuke." Came the answer and the boy took out the capturing spell he had gotten from Daiki. Kuwabara caught them off guard by launching an attack. Kuraku easily dodged. "If that's the best you've got then I'm afraid you'll never see him."
"Lord Kuraku, may I take the idiot?" Luki asked. The leader nodded and Kuwabara was stuck in a tree by many sharp pointy knives. "That was easy enough. Now where's the kid?"
"He couldn't have gone far. Seri, search the hideout, we'll check up here. If you find him, bring him to me." The others nodded and Kuraku went over to the pinned human. "Why didn't someone smarter and stronger come out to fight? You're not worth my effort. Goodbye."
Kuwabara vanished in a puff of smoke and Kuraku laughed a sinister laugh as a strange aura surrounded his body with a pale green light.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Kurama felt weak, his breathing became shallow and the last thing he remembered was a faint laugh and a blast of fire. He awoke to two big pairs of eyes over him. One crimson and one pink. "Wha-What happened?" He asked as he sat up.
Hiei and Botan moved back. "We heard a loud crash and rushed out to find this shadow around you. I blasted it with fire and Yusuke and Krad went after it."
"Who brought me here?" He asked, noting that the two were the only two there. Botan smiled and pointed at herself. "I did!"
Hiei rolled his eyes and walked to a windowsill to watch the moon. "How long have I been out?"
"The entire day. Whatever that creature was, it took most of your energy away." The grim little ferry girl said. "I was so worried when you didn't wake up…"
"Finally!" they both looked to see Yusuke grinning. "Oh, did I come at a bad time?"
"No, we were just talking. Really!" the girl said and Yusuke shrugged as Krad went back to his window.
'Krad...he's hurt, I can sense he's hiding something, but why?'
"Neither you, nor anyone else is allowed to leave this room, understand?" Krad voice was harsh and strained. "Especially Hiei or Kurama. The shadows can easily take you because you are souls. We, Yusuke, Botan, and I, however, came with our bodies so they would need to weaken us before they take our souls…"
"What are you hiding?" Kurama asked in a serious tone and everyone blinked. The ice demon said nothing; instead, he looked out the window and whispered, "Something that you need not know."
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
'I'm almost there! Wait for me, Dark.' Daisuke said to himself as he reached the bottom of the seemingly endless staircase. He ran into the circular room and let his dart about for anyone suspicious. 'Good, no one's here yet.'
He took out the incantation and placed it in the center of the room. "Ni fret hed beft judai nekmi yu to karai geiten wedu nemu lucara…judai dia vec hemos sen ze neta!" A light flashed and Daisuke gave a triumphant nod. 'Now if the demons come in, they'll become sealed within the spell. That should make things much easier.'
"Kyu!" The furry little bunny said. "Yeah, we should look for Dark."
Daisuke examined the room he was in. No Dark and no extra rooms. "Dark! Dark are you here? Say something!" No answer. "Maybe I should try communicating…"
/Dark? Where are you? Say something/
/Daisuke? You're here/
/Where are you?)
/Below a window...a really small one./
Daisuke looked around again and saw With sniffing about. "That's it!"
/Dark, call With/
/Good thinking Daisuke! He'll seek me out no matter where I am/
"With! With, c'mere buddy!" Dark called out from his prison and heard a 'kyu' coming towards him as well as a 'With! Not so fast!'
Daisuke went down more stairs until he found With bouncing on Dark's lap. "Dark!" Daisuke raced beside him and knelt down, ignoring the stains that were seeping into his clothes. "Just hang on while I break this magic thing."
"Thank you, Daisuke. I owe ya one." The purple-eyed teen said. He heard a 'click' and the cuffs around his legs were off, the ones on his hands, however, were very tricky.
"I don't think you can break them, Dai-chan." Dark stated sadly. "Magic is usually unbreakable when done by a demon of Kuraku's standards…"
"But—"
"However, I can move them freely." Dark smirked as he brought his arms around Daisuke for a hug. "See."
"I'm just glad you're safe."
"Not for long, little human." The two turned to face Seri, hovering above the floor. "If you come willingly, I might let you live…"
"No way!" Dark flapped his wings and tackled Seri to the ground. The spell Daisuke had put there pinned him to the ground. Dark's smirk widened as he flew beside Daisuke and watched as Seri vanished with a cry.
"Ahhhh!" Was all he said before he disappeared in a puff of smoke. Another puff of smoke followed and Kuwabara appeared.
"What the heck just happened!" The human yelled as he saw where he was. "First I get stuck in a tree, then puffed into some weirdo place filled with demons then I'm back here! This is—huh? Dark? Daisuke?"
The two seat dropped as Kuwabara realized where he was. "Hey! You're alright!"
"Y-yeah." Dark said somewhat frightened by the sudden appearance. "Umm, who are you again?"
"I'm the Great Kazuma Kuwabara who's come to rescue you!" Kuwabara said boldly and Daisuke sighed.
"But who will save you?" they all looked up to see…(you guessed it!) Kuraku standing over them with a huge sword.
"Uh-oh…"
"Dark, good to see you're well. I was afraid you might have hurt yourself by trying to fly…however, it is good that you should be awake when I enjoy myself." Kuraku gave a sickening smirk and Daisuke watched as he floated over to them.
His wings making soft sounds as he went before then. 'This...is not good!' Dark thought and Daisuke went behind the thief as Kuraku lunged.
