Kurama stood with his back to the window as the morning sun light can though the window. In his hand was a picture of his family, his step-father and step-brother and most impotently his birth mother, who he loved more then life its self.
'If we fail, or mess up in this mission, all three of the worlds will be thrown into cereous. I can't let that happen.' Kurama's arm shook as this passed through his head. Just the thought of losing his mother and even his step-father and step brother tore his heart apart.
Flash Back
"We have two weeks from today until the Shadow returns here, that also means you all have two weeks to train, and stargaze." The king said as he got up from the table and looked around the room at the boy's.
'My son has faith in these boys, and my Sousui trusts them enough to take them here and tell them the true story. I must also believe that they can help, they must if they want to save the worlds that they have been born in." He though as he turned and walked out of the room leaving the sprit detectives to think over what the king has told them.
End Flash Back
"I we have to win" Kurama said out loud as a knock came on the door. Kurama walked to the door and opened it just as he put the picture of him family away.
Hiei stood on the other side with his arms crossed "Time to start out training" he said in his cold voice.
Kurama nodded and left the room.
Emily slept sound to the world, unaware of the preparations that were going on with out her.
But she was no it a peacefully sleep as one my thing by looking at the sleeping Hogo. In her mine she was reliving the darkest and most horrible events that has happened in all of her lives.
-The silver fox laughed as the second Hogo fell to the ground, blood spilling for her chest where her heart was just beating a few seconds before.
His was hand covered in her blood; he flicked his wrist to get rid of some of the blood, and then licked off the rest.
A third Hogo, so they say, stood covered in own bloo,d her hair was now down and blowing in the wind, bits and pieces where stuck together with blood and dirt. She was holing her shoulder and looked to be using all of her energy just to stand.
The Silver fox demon smirked as the sight of her, as he tossed the royal purple jewel up and down in the air, this jewel that was so precious to her that she would die before letting anyone take it away.
So in the fox's mind, it had to be powerful.
"You well pay for what you have done here today" She spoke with venom him her words.
The silver fox again smirked as he jumped up in the air and landing in a tree to the left of the woman, and said with humor in his deep voice, "Listen woman, it was fun playing with you and you friends, but I'm done playing, so how about I take this jewel of yours and left you life. A?"
She glared at him with death in her eyes as a sliver glint hit her eyes. She smirked and said in hatet ridden voice "How about you give me the jewel and I'll kill you quick and painless."
The silver fox laughed at her as he again tosses the jewel in the air and catching it as he spoke "You're a funny one you know that, but you have made you choice, it really is a shame that I have to kill such a beautiful lady"
The Fox then flicked his wrist making his whip appear, he slashed it at her. But at the last possible second she moved with great speed towards the glint of light.
This action annoyed the fox, as he jumped into the air slashing his whip as fast as he could at the Hogo.
As she reached her destination, one of his attacks caught her in the back of her lag, as she fell forward she grabbed at the glint of light and did a head roll. As she rolled over on her feet she turned as shot it at the fox.
The silver fox was caught off guard as what looked to be a sasi priced his heart. The silver fox fell to the group was a crash and the jewel rolled from his hand as he started to cough up blood. –
Emily rolled over on her side as a heavy sigh came from her lips.
In her door way stood Botan with a worried look on her face. She hated seeing her friend like this, and she hated it even more when that there was nothing she could do but wait.
In a file on the back of the castle, Kurama stood in a fighting stance, across from him Yusuke stood, also in a fighting stance.
This was a test of strength, and skill, with out there demonic or spiritual powers.
Yusuke was cocky as ever, it was like he didn't comprehend what the real danger was, but that was nothing new for Yusuke he never understands until it's to late.
"FIGHT!" Keiko Shouted from the side lines.
Kurama charges at Yusuke full speed.
Deep in the Makai forest a demon of silver eyes stood over a bowl of water, he was watching something with a smirk on his face.
"Master when shale I go?" He asked the air.
"Two weeks, I will have enough power then to take control of your body and take the Emeian, and finished what I started 20 billion years ago." A deep bark voice said.
"What shale I do in the mean time?" The demon asked again to the air.
"I need a sword called Destiny; it is curtly under lock and key by the young prince." The dark voice said.
"You want me to steal it?" The demon asked.
"Yes, the vault is under low security, it should be no trouble." It answered as the demon turned around and left the room.
In the bowl was an image of a sleeping maiden.
The week passed by in a flash, the gang was now in the main hall, they where trying to pine point where the demon well appear so they could plane a surprise attack.
They were so absorbed in there work that they didn't notice the door open, or that someone had just entered the room.
"What's ya doin?" came a happy sweet voice that only belongs to.
"EMILY!" shouted Botan and Keiko as they jumped into her arms, knocking her to the floor.
"YOUR AWAKE!" they shouted again as Emily tried to get away from the over happy teens.
"I won't be for long if you two don't get off me" Emily stressed as she tried to squirm her way out.
"Sorry" they both said as they jumped up leaving Emily on the floor.
"Thanks" she muttered as she sat up, just as a hand was held in front of her face.
She looked and say Kurama with a smile on his face. Emily raised an eye brow and took his head. Kurama pulled Emily off the floor, and when Emily had herself steadied she titled her head and said "Are you on drugs?"
-Anime fall-
"What?" Emily said with a shrug.
"You never change so you?" came a smooth voice from the head of the table.
"Nope, King I don't" She answered with a smile.
"Why are you so happy?" Yusuke asked with his hands behind his head "Incase you forgotten in about a week we are going to be under attack." He added glancing at her.
"I'm fully aware" Emily answered walking over to the table. "I'm just full of energy, that week nap really did me some good." She added looking over the plan on the table.
"A surprise attack won't work" Emily said picking up the paper.
"Why not?" Yusuke asked crossing his arms.
"Because he already knows what we have planed." Emily said in a more serious voice.
Everyone just looked at her. "And how do you know?" Yusuke stressed walking towards her. "You have been asleep for a week" he added making a swing at her, which she dodged like it was nothing and walked over to Kurama.
"Simple, he has been watching us" she said jumping on Kurama shoulders as the gang just looked at her like she was crazy.
She then jumped again into the air; she grabbed something in mid air and fell back to the floor. She landed in front of Kurama, who had a curious look on his face.
"And what was the purpose of that?" Hiei asked in his cold voice.
"This" Emily said unfolding her hand, which held a green bug like creature. It had long ears, and a skinny body, with small wings. It fit nicely in the palm of her hand.
"What the hell is that?" Kuwabara asked a bit freaked out.
"It's a spy bug" Keiko said simply.
-Anime fall-
"What kind of name is that?" Yusuke demeaned as the bug tried to fly away.
Emily caught its wings and held it to her face as she said. "We don't know what they are really so we just called them that. If you befriend them, or blackmail them, they can be quite useful in gathering information."
"Interesting, I have heard of them, but I have never seen one myself" Kurama stated looking more closely at the bug.
"How come we didn't sense it?" Yusuke asked a bit annoyed.
"Because you're an idiot," the bug said in a surprisingly nice female voice.
"AAA" Kuwabara screamed "IT TALKS" he added jumping in Yusuke's arms.
"Baka" Yusuke hissed as he dropped him on the floor.
"Yes I can talk, I can do a lot more if missy here would let my wings go" it said again in an annoyed voice.
Hiei smirked and unsheathed his sword. "I also have head of these creatures, they aren't what they seen, trued they can send back images to the person or demon that controls them, but they also have another form." His cold voice danced though the bug's ears as Hiei held the blade of his sword to the bug's wings.
"W-what are you doing?" it asked in a scared voice.
"Tell us who sent you and I might left you live." Hiei hissed.
"I don't know his name, but he had pricing silver eyes, he said that he was going to kill my little brother, if I didn't follow you here and spy on you." It said it voice shaken.
"Brother?" Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama asked looking at the bug like creature.
"Yes, this isn't my true form; it's just easer to gather information." It said as a puff of smoke appeared.
When it cleared a young woman around 13 stood. She had long green hair and sea green eyes. She wore a long green dress that had two slits up the sides. On her back where two mall silver wings that Emily still had a hold of.
"You just a little girl" Yusuke said looking at her up and down.
"Little girl I'm 113-years-old thank you very much" she stated crossing her arms.
"WHAT?" Yusuke yelled "Somehow I'm not as shock as I should be" he added waving his hand.
"So why couldn't we sense her?" Kuwabara asked stretching his head.
The young woman smiled and said "because I don't have any sprit energy"
"How can that be?" Kurama asked trying to figure her out.
"Because she is a cousin to the fairies, a Fairix" Emily answered taking out a rope and tying her wings together. "And like fairies they can't do much when their wings are tied together." Emily added walking in front of the fairy cousin.
The girl huffed and sat on the floor.
"So how did Emily know she was here?" Kuwabara asked still confused.
"Because I saw here when I entered the room" Emily stated with a shrug of her shoulders.
"So what are we going to with her?" Yusuke asked
"Keep her there is really nothing else we can do." Keiko said walking over to the fairy cousin.
"But she if she is sending back information to whoever" Yusuke stated taking a step towards here "We need to get rid of her" her add as he was about to grab at her when Emily stepped in front of her.
"You touch one hair on her head and I'll castrate you" Emily hisses glaring at the hanyou.
Yusuke backed off slowly and stood behind Keiko.
"There is nothing she can do now, her wings are what send back the information, and since they are bound together, Tatanko isn't getting anymore information." Botan stated walking next o the girl.
"Didn't she say he had her brother" Kurama asked looking at the girl.
"She he does, and if I don't get the information he wants then he will kill him. My brother is only 100-years-old, that is about 10 in your years." The girl pleaded with them.
"Well now what are we going to do?" Keiko asked putting her finger on her chin.
"He won't kill him" Emily said turning to the girl. "He can't, because as soon as his life is threatened he will create a barrier that is impossible to break. Even for someone under the control of the Shadow." She added with a smile.
"I didn't know that" She said looking down at the floor.
"I know, only I knew" Emily said in a soft voice.
"So what are we going to do with her?" Hiei asked putting his sword back in its sheath.
"Give her a room, and some food." Emily said helping the girl up.
"What? Why?" Yusuke asked "How can you trust her?" he added with anger.
Emily glared at him and said "Because she has a good heart, and as I said before, she can't do much when her wings are bound. All of her magic is in her wings; she is just like a human now"
"Oh" Yusuke said crossing his arms.
"So what is your name?" Botan asked with a kind smile.
"Perizada" the girl answered in a low voice.
"Perizada, what a cool name" Kuwabara said as Botan glared at him.
"What?" he asked.
"Botan take Perizada to a spare room." The king said with a kind voice.
The girl glanced up at him and smiled, as Botan lead her out of the room.
"What does Perizada mean?" Kurama asked Emily as the door shut.
"Fairy born, that named is given when a Firix mates with a Fairy, that is why her wings are so small, and why her eyes a sea green instead of forest green like her hair." Emily explained.
"So it's like marring your first cousin?" Yusuke asked a bit disturb.
"No, they are distance cousins, and are not will like by the fairies." Emily answered in a sad tone. "More then likely her parents where killed when she was young and that was name the people in her village gave her. A parent would never named there child that name." She added looking at the door.
"Poor girl" Keiko said with a sad tone.
That night Emily was up in her room going over the plan they came up with after Perizada was found out.
'I don't think we can beat him like this, there is only one way. I have to trapped him and kill him myself. Keiko and Botan are equal in power and the boys are no where near the power level of Tatanko when the Shadow takes him over.'
Emily looked up from the paper and walked over to her double door crystal glass window and looked out. The moon was full and it's like peered though her window making her glow like an angle.
She placed her hand on the window 'This has been the life I always wanted, I learned how to trust people, to love people, and maybe even to fall in love' Emily shot her head up as a cetin red head popped in her head.
"Oh My Good God, I did not just think that, how the hell can I be in love with him when I only met him 3 weeks ago, and one of those weeks I was out cold." Emily lectured herself as her turned around and put her back on the window.
Emily shook her head and looked at the piece of paper again. "Total Destruction" she mumbled as a knock came on the door.
She sighed and walked towards the door folding the paper as she went. Just as she was going to opened the door she but the paper in her pocket and opened the door.
"Kurama?" she asked a bit surprised.
"I was just wondering how you where feeling." He stated letting himself in her room.
"I'm fine" she said shutting the door. "Nothing to worry about." She added with her back to the door.
"That's just it, I am worried. I have so much back on earth, my mother, my step-father and my step-brother. If we lose here they will all die." He said in a serious voice.
Emily sighed and said in a low voice "We will not lose, even if I have to die, well will not lose."
Kurama looked at her with confusion in his eyes. "What are you planning?" he asked taking a step towards her.
"I'm planning what is needed to win." She said in a very low and serious voice.
"Sacrifice yourself?" Kurama asked also very seriously.
"If you are not willing to put your life, or even give your life to save the worlds, then why are you here?" Emily snapped her eyes flashing a red color.
Kurama was not surprised by what she said, true he was willing to give his life to win this fight, but he was thinking more about Emily life then anything.
Even since he banged into her 3 weeks ago, she has been on his mind. She was different from the other girls he met, different from Botan.
But it was a good different, and he didn't want to lose her when he hasn't gotten a real chance to get to know her.
"Emily I know that you would give you life to save the worlds, but are you doing it out of duty or out of revenge?" Kurama asked looking at her in the eyes. Those same eyes that looked at him with hate when he killed her sisters so long ago.
Emily opened her door and said in a sharp, serious, and sad voice "both"
Kurama took this as his time to leave; as he passed her he stopped and said in a low voice so she could hear. "Are you sure?" and with that he left.
Emily shut her door and put her head agents it. 'He can't understand. I'm doingt this so all of you can life your lives, graduate from high school, go to college, and some day get married and have kids. And if that means that I have to give up my life in the process then so be it.' Emily lifted her head off the door and walked back over to her window.
Kurama sat on his windowsill and looked out at the moon. It was different from the moon on earth; this one had no affect on his demon side.
He looked at the picture he held in his hand, and leaned his head back on the wall. 'Why do I keep thinking about her? It's so strange, I heady know her, and yet I can't stop thinking about her. She even planted the idea that I was gay in my mothers head. She got a month of tutoring because she was late.
And she is a Hogo of the Makai, and I killed her 18 years ago.'
"You're a fool" came a cold voice.
"Why do you say that Hiei?" Kurama asked looking towards his bed where Hiei sat, with his arms crossed.
"Because you are obsession over a girl, one that could kill you no less" Hiei answered in his cold voice.
Kurama smirked and looked back out at the moon, "Well then I guess I am a fool."
