Chapter 17: Broken
Yusuke jumped back as he heard a scream. 'Krad...' He wanted to go back but he remembered Botan and continued on his way. When he reached where she had been, she wasn't there.
"Not good…" Yusuke closed his eyes to sense her spirit energy before running to the stairs.
"Detective!" Yusuke turned and dodged a blue blast as Seri came after him. "I will not let you get away!"
'I do not have time for this!' Yusuke jumped and charged his trademark. Seri snickered. "Spirit gun!" The pale blue blast left his finger and headed towards Seri. The demon parried the attack and stunned the boy by firing it back at him.
"It seems that you have missed, detective." Seri smirked and Yusuke let the Mazaku tribe take over for him. Seri wasn't expecting that!
"Ha!" Yusuke fired a mixture of both demon and spirit energy at him and it hit. Seri fell to the ground. He wasn't as strong as Renoki or Kuraku and Yusuke proved that. "Where is Botan?"
"The ferry girl?" Seri was hit bad and was fighting to survive. "I-I did nothing to her…n-no one was here when I came…" That was all he said before he disappeared. Yusuke growled and ran upstairs. 'Maybe she went back to the room. That would be the logical thing, right?'
Yusuke reached the thirteenth floor and blasted a few shadows along the way before reaching the room. What he saw was not what he had expected to find…
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"I hafta do somethin'. I can't just let the bad guys win! Angel dude would kill me if the demon kills Dark! Argh! What am I gunna do?" Kuwabara was sitting by the fountain. He couldn't sense any energy of any kind.
He dropped his head into his hands. "What am I gunna do?" An idea then struck him. "I know! I'll go ta that kid's house! They'll know what to do!" The human raced off towards Daisuke's house. 'Hang on guys! I'm a coming fer ya!'
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Kurama ran ahead of the angel. He had more strength and was able to run faster. He glanced back. "Krad, are you alright? Want to stop and take a rest?" Krad's breathing was made of short pants and Kurama noticed his condition. 'He's hurt...all because I had to run off. I did this to him.'
'Too much blood loss...need sleep...but have to get out.' Krad pushed himself to stand and took a long breath before he brought out his wings, grabbed a surprised Kurama, and flew to their destination, the thirteenth floor, before his energy completely gave out and he fell to the floor.
"Uhh, Krad! Hey, c'mon! Shoot, he's out cold…where's Yusuke?" The fox leaned against the wall and held the angel close as he felt the shadows coming closer. 'I wish I was home, with Botan and Hiei and Yusuke and everyone else and nothing ever happened!'
"Spirit Gun!" The shot was fired a ways down the hall and Kurama's eyes darted to where smoke was now coming from. He stood up and pick up the angel gently in his arms. 'He is light...too light but I have to get to Yusuke.'
Yusuke shot another blast at the demon, Luki, who had been looming over the unconscious ferry girl. Luki was strong and wasn't about to lose like Seri. She was fast, very fast.
"Spiral maze!" She yelled as the room began to shift and take on a new look. "Let's see you get out of this!"
"Damn it! I can't see anything!" A voice from behind caught his attention and he turned to see Kurama and Krad. "Kurama! You're back! And Krad! Is he alive?"
"Yes, just tired…I-I'm afraid that I might have hurt him pretty badly…I'm sorry, Yusuke." The fox turned to the ground and Yusuke shook his head.
"You're not to blame. It's this castle, the shadows. It wasn't you who hurt others, it was the shadows…"
"B-But I wanted revenge and that's how I was t-taken…" Yusuke grabbed him by the caller, carefully pulling him close.
"Listen, it. Was. Not. Your. Fault. Now let's get Botan and get out of here, ne?" Kurama sniffed and nodded. Yusuke held Krad as he followed Kurama through the newly formed maze. Luki was at the end waiting with Botan.
"It seems they may get through, however…" She glanced at the girl. "No, your body is not strong enough and would give out before I take full control over it."
She pondered on what to do as the others approached and came to one conclusion, fight…
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"N-n-no w-way…" Hiei was at a loss for words as a small girl stepped forward. She had mid length sea-green hair and big red eyes. She wore a blue kimono with a dark blue sash around her middle.
"Kyu! Kyu! Kyu, kyu, kyu!" With 'kyu-ed' at the stranger and Dark was staring with wide-eyes as she stepped closer.
"H-Hiei-chan…what happened to you?" Her voice was soft and her eyes were teary as she went over to the fire demon. Dark just blinked and watched.
"W-why are you…why are you here, Yukina?" Hiei asked when he regained his voice. She gave a soft smile and answered.
"I wanted to help…Koenma said that something had happened and I followed your energy to here. Kazuma went to get help from a boy named Daisuke. Are you upset with me, Hiei-chan?" Hiei bit his lip. He couldn't yell at her, well he could but that would get him nowhere…
"No, but how did you slip in here? I-I thought Kuraku and Renoki were standing guard!" He turned to Dark who in turn nodded in agreement.
"When I came in, no one was there." She answered softly.
"Maybe they went to gather everything for the ritual…that would explain how she got in." The thief stated as he looked at the two. "You know…you two have the same fiery eyes…"
Hiei looked away as Yukina smiled. "Really?" she asked in a soft voice. Dark gave a nod.
"In fact, it's almost as if you're related…" His eyes widened as he said that and looked at them both for a long time. Yukina laughed and Hiei cursed himself. "But I'm probably wrong because I don't know much about you."
"Yeah…I'm searching for my brother…" Yukina sighed and Hiei looked up. She turned to him. "That's why Hiei-chan is helping me."
"Y-yeah, can you get us out of here?" The fire demon asked. He really didn't want to but since she was free and could use her powers it seemed easier if she helped. She nodded and outstretched her hands.
"There she is!" Renoki walked inside and grabbed her arm. "Thought you could just sneak by without notice?"
"Ah! Let go!" she cried.
"Yukina!" Hiei pulled at his hands but was unsuccessful at breaking them. All he could do was watch. He growled dangerously as the demon brought her close. "Let. Her. Go."
"I shall do what I want." He threw the girl against a wall and drew his sword. He slowly walked over and saw her cower beneath him. "Watch."
"Run Yukina!" The girl used a bit of ice to push the green eyed demon away and ran to Hiei's side. She went behind him as Renoki brushed himself off. He gave a smirk.
"You think that hiding behind your brother will help you now?" Yukina gasped and looked at Hiei. He evaded her tear gazing eyes by focusing on the ground. Dark blinked and Renoki laughed. "Don't tell me that you didn't know?"
"H-Hiei-chan…is this….true? You are…my brother?" Her voice was hopeful and pleading.
"He's a demon! Don't believe anything he says!" Hiei snapped and she flinched. He noticed and growled at Renoki who still laughed at this.
"But you're a demon and I believe what you say." Hiei looked at her. Tears fell from her eyes and it was because of him. He never wanted to make her cry, never. But he did and he felt bad for it. "Please…tell me the truth. Are you my brother, Hiei-chan?"
The room went silent. Renoki stood there with an evil smirk on his face, Dark was speechless, and Yukina was waiting. 'Damn it! Now what the hell can I do! I can't tell her the truth but I'm sick of lying to her! Ahhhh damn!'
Hiei took a deep breath before he gave his answer and red as well as violet eyes widened. "Yukina, I am your brother."
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Man! It's almost eleven and we still haven't found anything that can help us!" The red eyed boy yelled as he threw another book into a pile of others. Daisuke had already went through fourteen different books and none of them seemed to have any information on the artwork 'Crown of the Kings'
'It's as if the artwork just made itself and was placed there...' He thought as he grabbed another book. Behind him, Daiki, Emiko, Kosuke, and Towa were all also looking through their large collection of books and, just like Daisuke, they had found nothing.
"See Kosuke, I knew we should have organized it after Dark brought all these home after the years. She flipped through the pages of a large brown book.
"We were going to this weekend…" Kosuke answered tossing a book behind him. "We only have what? Three thousand books?"
"Four thousand if you count the ones in the living room and Dai's room." Daiki corrected and they both sweat dropped. They all sighed and went back to searching.
"I bet Satoshi would know what to look for. He is the last Hikari if you don't count Krad." Daisuke said as he gave a sigh. Another book and still nothing. It was getting tiring and to make matters worse, Daisuke had lost all contact with his other self.
"Yeah, if Satoshi was here he could tell us a bit about the artwork now couldn't he?" Towa had a big smile on and everyone sighed.
"This is crazy though! We've been looking through hundreds of books and have nothing to help us in any way!" Daisuke tossed another book and Emiko agreed with a nod.
"It is pretty difficult to look for something and not find it." She said, grabbing another book off the self. "We just have to keep looking. One of then is bound to help, right?"
The boy let a smile cross his face. "Yeah, we just have to keep looking." Everyone went back to searching. 'I won't ever stop...not until Dark and Satoshi are safe...and I promised Dark that I would so I can't give up.'
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Great! We're almost through this damn maze! Nice work Kurama!" The spirit detective yelled as they turned a corner and approached the exit. Kurama went out first and was ambushed by Luki who was waiting to attack.
"Ah!" The fox hit the ground and Yusuke ran out. Luki wanted to surprise Yusuke but since Kurama came out first, she went for him instead.
"Kurama! Can you fight!" Luki took a step back as she eyed the Mazaku marks on the boy's body. She then smirked as she saw Krad. 'If he has him, then that will slow him down...' she thought.
Kurama let out a few coughs and Yusuke was about to run over when Luki attacked by throwing ninja-like blades at him. The boy easily dodged and countered with a spirit gun. She flipped in the air and came behind him.
"You're too slow, boy."
"What!" Yusuke turned and blocked the attack with one of his arms as he tried to defend the angel as well as fight off the demon. Luki's attack was with a short dagger type weapon and it pieced Yusuke's arm as he blocked.
"Not bad for a guy with his arms full!" she said as she pulled back. Yusuke smirked and held the angel closer.
"Not bad for some old lady's ghost!" Yusuke retorted as he charged up another shot. Luki smiled; she was enjoying herself. Yusuke grinned. "Shall we? Or do you need an assistant, old lady?"
"I can fight just fine!" She held twin daggers as she ran at him. Yusuke smirked and with a hard swing, he threw Krad into the air as he blasted the demon twice before he caught him and landed behind her.
"How was that, old lady?" He snickered as she brought herself up into a sitting position. Kurama watched in awe as Yusuke let her get up. His green eyes scanned the room until they fell onto Botan.
"Botan!" He got up shakily and went to her side. She was hurt but that was only because of Krad. "Botan, are you alright?"
The ferry girl didn't respond but the fox was able to feel a strong pulse. He held her close as the two fought. Luki seemed to have the upper hand because she could use two hands and wield two weapons at once but Yusuke held her off.
"Give up already! You cannot win by defense only!" Luki slashed open the detective's arm and he stepped back as the liquid covered both him and the angel. "See? You will die for the sake of someone you just met."
"Shut up! I could beat you blindfolded ya dumb hag!" The brown-eyed teen replied as he leaned against the wall.
"What if you protect that which already belongs to darkness?" She asked. She had a good plan and Yusuke thought for a moment.
'What if Krad is really with the darkness again? I can't let my guard down, but...' Yusuke looked at the angel's face. It was calm, tired. He smiled then looked back at Luki. He had his own plan. "Hey, Lady. I'll trade you him for a way out. Deal?"
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"I can't believe I'm lost!" Kuwabara whined as he found himself back at the fountain. "Sheesh…now I wish I had watched where Daisuke was leading me…"
The carrot-top sat down and sighed. He had been running around for the past hour and it was getting him no where. He had come to the conclusion that he was lost when he wound up at the fountain after the ninth time of leaving it.
"Geez…why do I have to be the hero? Though I don't mind I wish Urameshi was here…that would make it interesting…" Kuwabara looked into the sky. "I can't even sense their energy…it's like the vanished of the face of the planet."
A cold wind blew and the human sat up. 'Okay, I just felt a really strong energy in that there wind.' He looked to where it came from. "If I go there then that means I have to fight the two demons and they're too strong…"
"Wait…Kuraku said that he was going to turn Dark into a demon because of Black Wings…if he needs that to bring out his true form, he must be really powerful." Kuwabara imagined a huge evil monster. "But Dark is funny and not really a fighter from what I've seen…Krad's the one who fights but maybe that's why Dark doesn't…maybe he feels he doesn't need to unless in critical danger."
He sat there for another minute before getting up and giving a long sigh. "Well, I can't just sit here an mope! I gatta get to Daisuke's house so I can help! Angel dude, I won't let ya down!" With that, he ran off in another direction that he hadn't tried.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
As soon as the words left him, he looked away. He was unable to see the tears fall and harden into jewels as his sister learned the truth. "See? I told you that he was your brother." Renoki's voice was cool and it snapped him out of his daze.
"H-Hiei-chan…why didn't you tell me? I wanted to find you! I wanted to know that you were alive and you kept it from me!" Yukina hid her face in her hands as she cried and Hiei remained silent.
"Why don't you tell her? Or is it that you do not care?" Hiei glared at the demon and he noticed that something was wrong…it was waaay too quiet.
"Where is Kuraku?" he asked and Renoki blinked. Yukina stopped her tears to listen to her brother. "Where is he?"
"He went to get what he needed for our new demon. He should be back by eleven at the latest. Why do you ask?"
"Why is it so quiet?" Hiei asked.
"Because, when I arrived, I blocked out all sounds of the outside world so that no one would find this place. Yukina came in before I was here though I do wonder how she found you." Renoki's green eyes looked over the girl. "Maybe lord Kuraku could find a use for her…"
"Keep away from her!" Hiei snapped and Renoki developed an evil smirk as he stepped closer to them.
"Leave her alone, Renoki! She hasn't done anything and she wouldn't help you in a million years!" The thief yelled as he kicked a rock. Renoki turned a slapped him hard across the face.
"Dark!" Hiei growled as Renoki laughed. "I will kill you…"
"Not before…" He jerked Yukina from her hiding spot behind her brother and cuffed her hands above her head. "I kill her."
"Hiei-chan!" She cried as Renoki summoned a long jagged sword. "Hiei-chan!"
"Yukina! Leave her alone, Renoki!" Hiei wanted to kill the demon where he stood but the restraints on his wrists drained his energy and kept him from moving. His heart was racing and his emotions were getting the better of him. 'Damn you Kurama! You taught me about these damn emotions and now I can't control them!'
"Well, say goodbye to your precious little sister!" Hiei's eyes widened and for the first time, he felt helpless as the blade ran into her arm. "I'll make it slow and painful…"
"Stop it Renoki!" Dark cried out and was silenced by another slap. Yukina screamed in agony as the blade cut through her chest. The blood splattered against the ground and he dropped her as the life slowly left her.
"Yukina!" Hiei struggled as hard as he could against the chains but nothing seemed to work and he couldn't take it anymore. The one thing that he loved, cared for, and protected…the one thing that made his life a bit of purpose was lying on the ground as a pool of red formed around her.
"I'll give her a quick death if you beg." The silver haired demon smirked as Hiei's head jerked up with murder in his eyes. He stabbed her leg and she cried out.
"H-Hiei-chan!"
"Yukina! Hiei! Renoki, stop this! Why are yo—" Renoki knocked the thief back against the wall and his head fell with a tint of crimson in his hair.
"Now that that's settled." He turned back to the two siblings. "I can deal with you."
"S-Stop it!" Hiei yelled his anger was matched only with his helplessness as Renoki stood over the panting girl.
"You know what you must do…" The demon raised the sword and Hiei bowed his head. "Well, have you given up?"
"Leave her alone…please…" Hiei had to either swallow his pride or let her die and he chose his sister's life instead. His emotions were screaming at his to let it all out but he bit them back. He was not going to let him get the better of him if he could save her.
"What's that? You actually said, please?" The demon smirked.
"Let her go…I did it…that's all I'll say…" Hiei's red eyes were slowly losing their flare and he wasn't too happy in doing this. 'As long as Yukina lives...'
"Wrong answer!" Hiei looked up just as Renoki stabbed through the ice maiden's heart, killing her as she drew her final breath. His eyes widened as hers turned black and without knowing it, he cried.
"Y-Yukina…Yukina!" Renoki left laughing as the fire apparition let his emotions take control. 'No! No! No! No! No! No! Emotions are for the weak! Don't show your damn emotions! But, Yukina...'
Three black teargems fell to the cold floor and Hiei realized that she was the only thing he would do anything for and he remembered his talk with Dark…
"Hn."
"Is that all you can say? Haven't you ever loved someone to the point you'd do anything for them?"
"No."
"You're lying. I can tell." Hiei looked right into Dark's sparkling amethyst ones and sighed.
"What do you care?" He looked away and hid his face. Dark watched him and then turned back to the stars.
"I-I do care…but now she's gone…"
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Ah! I still can't find anything!" Daisuke threw another book and got up.
"Dai-chan, where are you going?" Emiko asked as she watched him go upstairs. He turned to her.
"I'm going to check out my room…maybe there's something there I can find." With that said, he left and ran upstairs. He looked around; there was nothing that he could use unless it had to do with art or painting. 'Why did I even bother to go up here? There's nothing up here that can help me...'
The red head fell onto his bed and stared at the ceiling. 'Maybe if I can somehow reach Dark, he could tell me what to look for...' He gave a sigh as he remembered he couldn't contact him anymore.
Daisuke looked out his window. He didn't have With to help him look anymore. Things were not going well and to make matters worse, it was five past eleven and they still needed to rescue the others.
As he stared outside, a thought came to him and he ran downstairs in a mad dash. He went into the basement and startled everyone by running past. "What's the rush, Daisuke?" Kosuke asked as the redhead ran over to the room where the family placed Dark's treasures.
"In here Dark stole a book from the museum a few months ago! It tells of ten to twelve Hikari art pieces." The boy lifted up a wooden box and carefully opened it. He scanned it's contents until he found what he was looking for. "This should help tell about the artifact."
The book was small and looked to be around hundreds of years old. It read, "Artists of the World vol. 2: Hikari Art."
"Why did Dark steal that? We never asked him to." Emiko said and Daisuke ran upstairs as questions were asked.
"Keep looking for a spell while I research the artwork!" Everyone stood there for a minute before going back to searching.
Daisuke went into his room. "Dark didn't tell them…" Upon opening the cover he found out why. The 'Crown of Kings' was there but so was Black Wings and another Hikari artwork that was about Krad. If his family found this they would try to destroy him and Dark would be in big trouble.
"Don't worry, I won't tell them…" Daisuke flipped to the page he needed and began reading…
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"What!" Both Kurama and Luki seemed to say at the same time. Yusuke nodded and they both went wide-eyed.
"Y-you would just give him to me? Do you know what will happen!" Luki was in awe that the detective was giving her what she needed, a physical body and energy.
"Well, what do you say? Is it a deal?"
"Yusuke have you gone insane! She can kill you and you're putting him in danger! Yusuke listen to what I am saying!" Kurama's yells were ignored as the detective went with his plan.
"Well? What's it gonna be?" Luki gave a smirk and a nod. "Good, now how do we get out of here?"
"The portal will appear when my master commands it…I can make it appear though. Shall I?" She held a small smirk and Yusuke nodded.
"Fine and hey, I'll even through in all my energy if you can get us all out." Her smirk spread and she once again nodded. 'Great, now all I have to do is wait...' he thought.
Luki looked to the ceiling and raised her arms. She chanted something and all waited. After awhile, the room got really cold and a swirling black cloud appeared overhead. The cloud grew into a swirling black portal and she turned to face Yusuke. "See, that is the way out. Now, if you please, the angel?"
"Wait, let Kurama and Botan leave. I want to be sure that you're not lying to me…"
"Fine, whatever." She glared at the two. "Well? Get going already!" Kurama hesitated as he picked the girl up. Yusuke gave a nod and the fox sighed before jumping through the portal.
"Are they back?" Yusuke was very cautious as he watched them go. He held the unconscious angel closer as he saw her eyes.
"Yep! Now for your part of the bargain…" She walked over and Yusuke smirked.
"You want him? Then here!" The detective threw Krad to her and while she was distracted, blasted two spirit guns that shot right through her. She fell lifeless to the ground and Yusuke picked his friend up. "Never trust a demon, old lady."
Yusuke jumped through the portal and fell out to find Kurama staring at him. Instantly he sensed they were back in the real world and he sighed. Botan was leaning against the wall and the detective noticed that he no longer held an angel in his arms but instead a teenaged boy with blue hair.
"Yusuke, who is that?" Kurama asked, pointing to the boy.
"This is Satoshi, Krad's tamer…it's a long story so I'll tell you when we find Hiei, Dark and Kuwabara, alright?" Yusuke got up and Kurama made himself stand with the help of Botan.
"W-where are we Yusuke?" Botan asked as she examined the surroundings. "Ah! Yusuke look over there! Blood!"
"What? Where?" Yusuke looked over to where the ferry girl was pointing and saw that there was indeed a pool of crimson with a few black feathers resting in it. "That means that Kuraku and Dark were here…"
Everyone was silent until a soft voice spoke and grabbed their attention. "D-Daisuke…we n-need to f-find Daisuke…" Yusuke looked to see that the boy he held was speaking and gave a nod.
"Okay guys, let's go find Daisuke before we take on another demon. We need to rest and…" Yusuke grabbed the artifact and placed it on his head. "Maybe we can find out something on this."
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Wake up, angel…it's almost time for the fun to begin and I can't have you sleeping now can I?" Kuraku gently caressed Dark's cheek. The thief let out a soft moan as he came to. "There…I didn't want Renoki to harm you that much but I guess you were interfering with something.
Dark's eyes scanned the room and saw that Hiei had his head bowed but no one else was there. Kuraku watched and smirked as the thief gasped. "S-she was never really here was she? It was all just a trick!"
"You catch on fast, angel. Too bad he fell for it. Sad, isn't it? To see that of which you treasure most die right before your very eyes and knowing that you were there and could do nothing? I find it so entertaining." The red violet eyed demon wrapped an arm around Dark's waist.
"Get away from me!" The thief struggled as he was brought closer to the smirking demon.
"But, Dark…I only want you." Kuraku placed a rough kiss onto the thief's lips. "I want your true form, Kokuyoku…that is your true name."
"No! I don't want to! Leave me alone!" Dark was frantically trying to break out of Kuraku's firm grasp.
"Well, it seems that you still wish to rebel. I will have to fix that before twelve…" Dark began panting as the demon stroked his wings. Kuraku smiled and ran his hand under the thief's shirt. "I have exactly forty-five minutes before we need to prepare the ritual and I want you to be willingly giving yourself…"
Dark felt the demon's hand slip lower and was silenced by a kiss. His temperature was rising and he felt dizzy. He was about to drift asleep when Kuraku pulled him out of his daze by throwing a bit of cold water on him. "I want you up, if you fall asleep then you won't be ready for the ritual and I'd miss me chance…"
"W-what do you want from me?" Kuraku paused for a moment and Dark regained his breath.
"You asked that before, remember? I want what only you can give me, angel." Kuraku gently cut open the thief's shirt and gave another kiss to him. "You are very beautiful…I can see why you were created by the Hikari. Such tanned skin…almost a shame to let you die."
"Then don't…" Dark was cut off with another kiss. Kuraku just smirked and replied. "Oh, I could never do that…but I love breaking beautiful creatures such as yourself. I wonder what you would look like after…"
"P-please s-stop!" Dark was stuttering now as the demon eyed him lustfully. Dark looked over to Hiei. The fire apparition was there but his mind was elsewhere and he would be of no help.
"What's wrong? Do you not enjoy this?" Kuraku's breath made his body shiver. He watched as Dark's amethyst eyes widened in fear as he felt the demon's hand removed the rest of his clothing. "I enjoy this, every bit!"
Renoki heard Dark's cries for help and smiled. He enjoyed breaking the fire apparition and left the angel to his master. 'It seems that lord Kuraku finally wants to break that creature's spirit. Luki and Seri were weak and it seems that they got what they deserve.' A hoarse cry snapped the demon from his thoughts and he knew that it belonged to the thief.
"Well, it seems that lord Kuraku is enjoying the creature's pain…how sweet." Renoki leaned against a nearby tree as he watched the clock and listened to Dark's cries.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Okay…that's the last time I take directions from the stupid map!" Kuwabara had caught a map that was dropped by some guy and was trying to get to Daisuke's. The problem was that he didn't know what street it was on.
"Okay, where would I go if I was Daisuke? I remember he had a good view of the ocean so I should check—"
"Kuwabara! Hey! Over here!" The human turned and saw Botan, Kurama, and Yusuke carrying Satoshi.
"Urameshi! You do not know how happy I am to see you!" Kuwabara ran over with a big grin on his face. "Kurama! Botan! You're all alright!"
"Yeah, um can you tell me where Hiei and Dark are? Also, do you know where a kid named Daisuke is?" The brown-eyed detective asked and the cheery mood Kuwabara had vanished. "Kuwabara? What's wrong?"
"Hiei…and Dark…they were taken by…Kuraku and Renoki…" Everyone gasped and Satoshi's eyes widened.
(K-Krad? Did you hear that?)
((Yes, Master Satoshi...but I've lost too much energy.))
(But that means that Daisuke and Dark are separated! Take control now!)
((I can't...I-I'm sorry, Master Satoshi but I need to recover.))
Satoshi gave a warm smile to his other self. (Alright...just rest for now.)
((Thank you, Master Satoshi.))
"I know where to find Daisuke." Everyone turned to the blue-eyed boy. Yusuke helped him stand. "Follow me!"
Satoshi forced himself to run when he noticed that the time was eleven thirty and the others followed. "Damn he's fast!" Yusuke said. "And to think that he was injured!"
"He gets energy from Krad and vice versa. So maybe Krad's recovering within his mind. That's what happens when two souls inhabit one body." Botan stated. Kurama was carrying her because she hadn't fully recovered.
"Man, it was so hard to find my way! I was lost like, fifty times!" Kuwabara yelled as they turned a corner and ran up a street. "Hey, how does he know where ta go?"
"Maybe because he's my friend." Satoshi said. They came to a stop when they reached a house.
"Heeey, that's Daisuke's house!" Kuwabara said pointing.
"Let's go already." Satoshi knocked on the door. "I've got it!" came from behind the door and a bright eyed boy answered with a smile as he embraced the young teen.
"Satoshi I can't believe you're alright!" Daisuke was so happy to see that his friend was safe. He noticed the others and blushed. "Umm, sorry, come on in! You guys can help me find and rescue Dark!"
"Sure thing kid. One question though, how?"
"That's where we come in!" Everyone turned to see Emiko and Daiki with a smile. Kosuke and Towa entered soon after. "Dai, I found a healing and a powerful sealing spell! We just need someone with a lot of magic…"
All eyes were on Satoshi. "Can we trust you to help?" He smiled and gave a nod.
"Krad has no objections of helping the thief."
"Then let's get started! Who needs something healed?" Emiko smiled and went over to Kurama first.
'How can they be so happy? This family is crazy...' Kuwabara thought as the Niwa family tended to everyone…

"The time is now eleven forty…" Renoki stared at the sky. Everything was quiet and he would have drifted to sleep if it hadn't been for his name being called from behind him.
"Renoki? Is anything the matter?" The silver haired demon turned and faced his master. Kuraku let a smirk cross his face as he sat beside his companion.
"Nothing my lord; however, it is almost time…" Kuraku gave a light nod. Renoki heard him sigh. "Lord Kuraku?"
"Nothing…Dark is now going to fulfill his destiny." He spoke in a soft tone. "Kokuyoku is now his new name and his true form will be revealed."
Renoki nodded and gave a smile. 'As long as you are happy, Master Kuraku.' "Renoki."
"Yes, my lord?"
"Get the symbols in place. I need to grab the necessary spells." Kuraku got up and spread his wings.
"Yes, my lord." Renoki got up as well and was stopped by his master's hand. "Lord Kuraku?"
"Be careful, very careful with Kokuyoku…" Renoki nodded and Kuraku flew off. Renoki placed a strand of silver hair behind his ear before he walked into where Hiei and Dark were.
Hiei looked at him with glazed covered eyes. Renoki smirked. 'He's still trapped within lord Kuraku's mind games.' "Poor guy, at least he will out of his pain soon."
"W-who is there?" Renoki turned to the sound of the voice. His green eyes met with lifeless violet and he gasped.
The demon slowly walked over to where the thief was bound. His wings were free and covered his body. Renoki saw that when Dark looked up to talk, he had sharp fangs within his mouth. Blood was around him and every so often, he would shiver from the cold night air.
"W-who are you?" Dark asked again. Renoki kneeled before him and reached to get his hands. The thief flinched and brought up his wing to block his face. "D-don't…"
"Kokuyoku, you are to follow me." Renoki freed his arms and they fell to the ground. He removed the binds from his ankles and helped him stand. Dark fell into his arms and Renoki bit his lip.
The demon removed his cloak and wrapped it around the thief. "Wear this. Kuraku told me to be careful with you." Dark accepted and followed Renoki outside.
Renoki lead Dark to a small clearing. In the center was a large circle. "Sit in the middle and if you so much as make a sound, I will hurt you." The thief sat on the ground. He really didn't care.
'Soon this will all be over.' Renoki left as Kuraku came back with a small book.
"Ah, so Kokuyoku is ready…" The demon smirked as Dark curled himself into a ball. Kuraku went beside him and pulled him closer. "All you have is ten more minutes."
Dark's eyes turned too slits as the demon within him took over. His wings turned thick and leathery and his body grew scaly. His soft shin tore as he transformed into what Kuraku wanted. "Now, no one shall save you. Hahahahahaha!"
