Chapter 14: Fox Hunt
"Human, I haven't the time for games. It's almost seven and I must complete what I have started before midnight." Kuraku gave an evil smirk as he flapped his leathery wings. "Walk away and drop the demon you now hold or you will be killed."
"Demon?" Kuwabara looked down at Dark. "Dark is a demon?"
"Not yet, but I will change that very soon. His skills will be a great asset to my team as well as his magic." The winged demon said floating closer. Kuwabara was hoping that Kuraku would land on the seal and vanish.
"My lord, I think the thief is dead. I fired at him hoping to hit the Wing Master." Renoki said. "Forgive me."
Kuraku gave a nod before looking at Daisuke. "Forgiven but if my angel is truly gone." He turned back to where Dark and Kuwabara were. "Then the boy wouldn't care for him, now would he?"
Renoki thought for a moment and found that his master was planning something. He watched as he raised his hand in front of the human. "Daisuke, if Dark is dead, I'll remove any evidence of his being."
"Not while I'm still 'ere!" Kuwabara held Dark as he got up. He balanced him on his arm as he summoned his spirit sword. "I'd like ta see ya try!"
"Ka ne gen feta gein ga paki no ya mi!" Kuraku closed his eyes and a green light went around him.
"What all this gibberish? Speak normal evil dude!" The human said. He then noticed that he was six feet above the ground. "Ahhh! What the heck!"
Kuraku's eyes snapped open. A bluish hue was within them and he shot a bolt of magic at him. "Ah!" Kuwabara fell back, letting the thief fall into Kuraku's arms.
"Leave him alone!" Daisuke yelled as he struggled in Renoki's grasp. Kuraku grinned.
"I knew that he was special. Ever since I saw him I knew he would be tough to defeat." Kuraku sighed. "Dark…the name suits you. You've experienced the darkness of death once before and have always been a mystery. No one has seen your true form and that is why I will reveal it, Black wings…"
"B-black…wings?" Kuwabara got up clutching his chest. He panted as he stumbled against the wall.
'Black Wings? But that's what can seal Dark and Krad! Why does he want that?'
"Fist of the mortal Flame!" Kuraku turned just in time to see Hiei's attack. His eyes widened and returned to their original red-violet color as the hit landed with full force.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"W-why is…is everyone…everyone so sad?" Kurama looked up and saw Botan. She had managed to heal herself from Krad's onslaught; however, she was extremely drained of energy.
"Botan!" Kurama wrapped his arms around the girl and lifted her up. "I-I thought he had killed you…"
"Yeah, but I was able to heal with my energy. He missed my heart though he was right over it…I'm so tired…" She rested her head against his chest and drifted to sleep. He placed her on the bed and looked over at Yusuke. He hadn't moved.
Kurama bit his lip. "Yusuke, I'm—"
"No…don't be sorry…" Yusuke moved the loose golden bangs from the angel's face. It was pale, cold. The detective picked him up. He weighted even less now that his wings were gone. "Maybe…maybe Koenma will help us out…"
"But Krad has killed three humans…"
"I don't care!" Kurama stepped back as Yusuke's energy rose as a warning. "He protected you, helped Hiei, and fought the shadow so it didn't kill Botan! He doesn't deserve this after all he's been through! No one does…"
"Yusuke…" Kurama went beside him and reached into his pocket. "Here…this might help…it can transfer spirit energy."
Yusuke nodded and placed Krad by the window. "Krad, can you hear me?" The brown-eyed boy asked softly. "If you can then listen. We will not let you die without letting you see Dark. He still needs you now get up!"
"…hn…"
"What?" Yusuke felt Krad's pulse. It was slow, but still there. He sniffed and Kurama used some energy to heal the wound on his chest. "Yusuke, let's let him rest…he needs it if he's going to live."
"Yeah, Kurama, can you check if any of the shadow things are out there?" Yusuke asked as he grabbed a blanket and placed it on the angel. "Tell me an I'll blast'em."
"Of course, I'll check the entire floor." Kurama left the room and Yusuke went over to where the blood stained wings lied useless upon the ground. He winched as he imagined what it must have felt like when they were ripped from the back…
The room was calm…at least twenty minutes passed since Kurama went scouting. Yusuke watched Krad's chest slowly rise with his breathing. It was calming in a way, to see that he was still alive. 'Kurama would have killed him...speaking of Kurama, how long is he going to take? Maybe he wants to be alone? Outside it's dark out...it must be getting pretty late out in the real world.'
Yusuke glanced over at Botan. She was up and watching the wind blow outside. The moon was high and the room was getting darker by the second. "Botan, Think we should light a candle or something?"
"That sounds like a great idea! But where will we get the-oh! Look behind you Yusuke!" Yusuke turned to see several white feathers floating in the air with a flame on their tips. "Whoa, now that's a neat maneuver. But how did they get here?"
'Krad...' Yusuke glanced at the angel; he was on his side and fast asleep. "Oi, well now we have light now if we could only find Kurama."
"Yu…Yusuke…" A strange voice entered the room and a chill along with it. Botan shivered and limped herself over to Yusuke because she was still really low on energy. What they saw in the doorway was not what they expected…
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Ah!" Kuraku skidded across the floor. He was winded by the sudden blow by managed to hold onto his angel. Unfortunately, Kuraku went in the opposite direction and didn't land on the seal. Yeah…sad ain't it?
"Master Kuraku!"
"You're next!" Hiei whipped around and yanked Daisuke out of his hands before slamming into his stomach. Daisuke landed on his feet and was about to run over to Kuraku when the demon jumped at Hiei.
"Hiei watch out!" Daisuke yelled and the fire demon vanished, causing Renoki to just miss getting hit by Kuraku's attack.
"Damn you!" Kuraku turned and caught his fallen comrade before he fell to the ground. Renoki coughed as he tried to breathe after the hit. "Renoki, when you recover, attack from behind and I'll go from the side. Understood?"
The silver-haired demon nodded and Hiei appeared beside Daisuke. He smirked as Renoki tried to stand and glanced at Kuwabara for only a second before he noticed that Kuraku had moved.
"Daisuke, go with Dark and get out of here. Leave and do not try to find me, I'll find you." Hiei paused as he released his jagan from the bandana. He closed his other eyes to focus. "Grab the idiot if you can, though I don't recommend it."
"Yes, Hiei." The redhead ran to Dark's side and helped him up. "C'mon Dark, we need to get out of here…wake up."
"Daisuke?" Dark slowly opened his amethyst eyes and stood up. "Where?"
"Run now! Talk later!" the boy pulled the angel out of the area and outside. The night air felt good and Dark took one look back before he retracted his wings and called for With, the red eyed rabbit! With 'Kyu-ed' and transformed into Dark's wings.
"Let's go Daisuke; we have to tell Emiko and Daiki. Hopefully they can help." The boy nodded and soon they were flying across the night sky.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Ku-Kurama? What's the matter?" Yusuke asked as he watched the crazy gleam in the fox's eyes. It was Yoko in the doorway and that's what made him nervous. His amber eyes were focused on him.
"I'm fine, Yusuke. Why do you ask?" Yoko's voice was cold and it sent shivers down Yusuke's and Botan's spine. Yoko took a step towards them and shifted his eyes until they rested upon Krad. "How is he?"
"F-fine, he should be fine when he wakes up." Yusuke stuttered and Yoko smirked at it. "Are you alright?"
"Yes, in fact…I found a place that can help heal…may I take him?" Yoko's eyes gleamed so bright that they could be seen through the dark. Thunder boomed outside and Yoko vanished in a flash of lightning.
"Where did he go?" Botan asked as she went closer to Yusuke.
"I'm not sure…maybe we're just seeing things."
"Are you, detective?" The two whipped around and saw the fox with the angel in his arms. "I think that I am quite real…"
"What are you doing? You're acting very strange, Yoko." Botan said and Yusuke was silent.
Yoko looked at the creature in his arms. His skin was pale. His eyes were shut and his breathing was very slow. Yoko smirked. "He seems to be in great pain." A plant came up behind them and Yusuke gasped. "Let me relieve his suffering!"
"Spirit Gun!" Yusuke shot Yoko in the head and caught Krad from his arms. "Let's go Botan! Move!"
"Oh! Ah, right!" The ferry girl followed Yusuke's lead and they left as Yoko got up. He let out a mechanical laughter that echoed throughout the castle.
"Hahahahahaha!" Yoko's eyes returned to an evil gleam as he spoke. "That's right, Yusuke…Run as fast as you can…heh heh…you will never get away. I know my prey and aim to take it…by any means."
"Yusuke! What in the world is going on?" Botan asked as she stumbled to run.
"My guess is as good as yours at this point. We just have to get away!" Yusuke jumped to the twelfth floor and landed with a thump. (they were on the thirteenth…yes, that is kinda creepy…) "Let's go Botan! Botan? Botan?"
No answer came before he heard a scream and Botan jumped off the platform. "Botan!" Yusuke held Krad in one arm as he caught the unconscious girl in the other. "Botan…"
"What's the matter, Yusuke?" Yoko appeared behind him as the lightning flashed. In his grin he bared a set of fangs. "You look like you need a hand. Mind if I take one off your hands?"
"Naw, I-I'm alright…" Yusuke was pressed between the wall and the fox demon. Yoko's amber eyes showed no sign of being possessed, instead they showed evil.
Yoko's hand reached for Krad and Yusuke yelled. "Spirit Kick!" Yoko was hit in the jaw and Yusuke made a run for it. 'Damn it! Why the hell is he doing this? Now Botan's out as well. Crap...maybe I can find somewhere to hide and try to wake then up.'
"Yuuuusuuuke…oh Yuuuuussssuukeee…come out and play child, come out and play…" Yoko knew they were close. He had memorized the scent of his prey and he could follow him wherever he went. 'I'll get you...you can't hide forever.'
Yusuke's heart was racing and it went faster as he heard the fox step closer and closer with each second. He held his breathe as he stood in front of their hiding spot. Yoko ran off when he heard something and Yusuke looked out. "Whew…that was close…too close…"
He still held the two in his arms and was about to leave when he heard a soft laugh. Turning, he was face to face with Yoko. His silver hair was covering part of his face and Yusuke saw the sick grin that appeared on his face when he said. "Why, hello detective. I guess this ends our game…heheheh…"
