Recap- Run Away Forever Chapter 11- Ninja Invasion

Koenma sends his detectives to Fushimi City to take care of some invading ninjas. When they reach the city, they are immediately ambushed. One of the ninjas' mask slips off and Akiya instantly recognizes him. He was a ninja from her village. After the detectives continue and get pass the barrier that was set up near the middle of the city, Akiya meets Taoma Nayoru, a backup squad leader ninja. Imaru was there with him and talked to Akiya and the others about the Ultimate Talisman of the Three Worlds, something very dangerous. Then he reveals to everyone that Koenma was only using Akiya, sacrificing her... now, the detectives are back at Spirit World…

Run Away Forever Chapter 12- The Ultimate Talisman of the Three Worlds

"Alright Koenma, what's up with this ultimate talisman thingy?" Yusuke asked Koenma.

"Ultimate talisman thingy?" Koenma repeated. "You know Yusuke, being more specific would be help."

"The Ultimate Talisman of the Three Worlds," Kurama told him.

"Oh, that talisman thingy," Koenma said. "It's a talisman that holds a spirit of some kind. Rumors say that the spirit is pure, but in reality, it's evil. It's only a spirit trapped in a talisman, but it's extremely powerful."

"But it can easily be taken over, right?" Kuwabara asked.

"Well…" Koenma paused to think. "Yeah, at least I think so. After all, it hasn't regained its form or gone into its master's body yet."

"What's so dangerous about some talisman?" Hiei asked. "What can it do? Attach itself to some idiot's face and make them smart?"

"Actually, it's very dangerous," Koenma informed. "Even trapped in the talisman, it can kill millions of people. However, destructive as it is, it's the only thing will protect the three worlds and keep them in balance."

"If someone were to… say… use it… what will happen to the worlds seeing as how that lone talisman keeps them in perfect balance and protect them?" Kurama asked carefully.

Koenma went silent. "I… don't know," he finally said after nearly a minute, causing everyone to nearly fall over.

"Whadda ya mean you don't know!" Yusuke and Kuwabara shouted at him together.

"I mean I don't know," Koenma said. "In other words, I have no idea what would happen, and I wouldn't want to know."

"Actually… its name is quite ironic," Akiya spoke up, gaining everyone's attention. "The Ultimate Talisman of the Three Worlds isn't really the only one. There's actually two. The one that we're discussing about is the dark one, or at least I think so. As you probably know, there is a controversy for everything. The rule that applies to every controversy and the one that makes up the world is the yin and yang controversy. For every darkness, there's always a light. If there's a dark talisman, then there has to be a light talisman. That's how they can protect the worlds and keep them from crumbling. If the darkness talisman were the only one to exist, then the worlds would be worse than hell… if there's only a light, then I don't even want to think about it…"

"Why?" Kuwabara asked. "Wouldn't that be a good thing?"

Yusuke, Botan, and Koenma nodded in agreement.

"Not really," Akiya said. It could be worse than the dark talisman… a lot worse…

"I don't get it," Botan said. "How can pure light not be good?"

"But who said light was pure?" Akiya asked, confusing everyone. "But the question that I've been wanting to ask still stands." Akiya looked at Koenma straight in the eye, making him a bit nervous. "Did you merely recruit me to use me?"

"What!" Koenma exclaimed, appalled at the thought that she would ask him something like that.

"Well?" Akiya asked.

"Of course not!" Koenma shouted.

"Alright… I'll hold you to your word then," Akiya said. She suddenly twitched slightly and had a slight look of shock on her face.

Meet me in the forest where you had your precious… alone time… with the fire demon, a familiar voice sent telepathically to her.

"Now, if you'll all excuse me, I have someone to meet," she said, returning to normal.

"Uh, sure…" Koenma said hesitantly, obviously knowing that something up. After Akiya was out of the door, Koenma dismissed the detectives.

Akiya-----

"So, you came," a very familiar voice said. "You've made a wise choice."

"What do you want?" Akiya demanded while glaring at Rejuko.

"Oh, I just wanted to tell you that you did an excellent job in explaining about the ultimate talisman thingy, as Yusuke Urameshi called it," Rejuko said in a sarcastic voice.

"Just tell me what you called me out here for!" Akiya said dangerously though there was a hint of fear in her voice. "The sooner you get out of my face, the better!"

"My, my, aren't we impatient," Rejuko joked, annoying Akiya. "Very well, I'll get straight to the point then. As you know, what you told the detectives is correct. There are two talismans that keep the world in check, but as you know, the concept of the light talisman is quite different than what they can or ever would imagine. We've found the dark talisman. Would you like to know where the light talisman is?"

"And why would I want that information from you?" Akiya asked coldly. "And even if I did, why would I even believe you in the first place?"

"Someone's in a foul mood today," he joked some more.

Akiya growled in irritation.

"Are you scared? Is that why you're so uncomfortable around me?" Rejuko asked her mockingly.

Her hand moved towards the hilt of her katana.

"Are you sure you want to draw that sword?" he asked her.

Akiya suddenly felt something cold and sharp against her neck. She turned her head slightly and looked out of the corner of her eye to find that Rejuko had moved behind her already with a kunai at her throat. Seeing that Akiya still hadn't removed her hand from her katana, he pushed the point of his weapon deeper against her skin. She dropped her hand to her side as Rejuko smirked.

"That's my good girl," he said amused. "Now, act like the cute girl you are and listen to me when I have information to tell you, especially when it makes you want to come running to me."

"Quit dreaming!"

Rejuko laughed. "I like the way you act, you know that? You're the only girl that would act like that around me when they know who I am."

He put away his kunai as Akiya turned around to face him.

"As I was saying before," he continued, "I have some information to tell you about the light talisman, like its location. It's closer than you think."

"And how close would that be?"

"Very close. In fact, it's right here with us as we speak."

"Yeah right!" she said, accusing him of lying.

"I mean it," he said, pretending to be hurt at the fact that she didn't trust him.

"The light talisman is something that's important and powerful! Why would it be in a forest like this one?"

"You should treat it like an object. After all, it's someone we both know."

"Nonsense! The talisman can't be a person!"

"Oh, but it can be a person, or at least in one," he said.

"You're saying that thing is in someone?"

"Yes."

"I'm not stupid! I would know if the talisman was in someone, especially if I knew them!"

"No you wouldn't."

"And why not?"

"Because you are the light talisman…"

Akiya was frozen in spot. She was the light talisman? It wasn't possible. Rejuko saw her expression and smirked.

"What's wrong? Shocked?" he asked. "Wondering how it's possible maybe?"

"Why should I believe what you say?" Akiya asked in a shaky voice. "Give me proof that what you're saying is true."

"Alright," he answered. "Back at that Fushimi City, you killed those people without any trouble. That enough for you? Or do you still want more proof?"

"How would you know how I was feeling when I killed off those people? How would you know that I killed them without any trouble?" Akiya asked.

"I didn't mean it that way," he replied. "I meant that people controlled by the dark talisman are resistant to regular spiritual energy. It takes the power of the light energy to kill them the way you did. You know that already. Do you really need to hear that from me again? Or is it that you're afraid you'll hurt your precious new friends?"

No reply from Akiya.

"I must compliment you though," Rejuko said. "I'm surprised that you're able to suppress its powers still. You're quite amazing, if I do say so myself."

Akiya still kept silent.

"However, if you ever lose your grip on it, you know that its energy will come bursting out of your body, and that you won't be able to help it if you kill your friends, which you most likely will if that ever happens. And if it ever takes over your body, it will take over your soul and be living as you, your evil side. I have to say, if that happens, then we're all doomed. You know even better than I do what your evil side is like. So think about it. I can help you if that ever happens. I suggest you come with me… unless you're satisfied with killing your… friends. I'll leave you alone to think it over…"

With that, Rejuko vanished. Akiya was motionless for nearly ten minutes, trying to absorb everything in. She began walking absentmindedly through the forest. She stopped on the edge of a very high cliff. Akiya looked straight ahead.

What Rejuko said… is it really true? Akiya asked herself. How can I be the light talisman? How would I not have known?

Hiei-----

He was sitting on a tree in a forest. Hiei was enjoying the peace and quiet. He looked down and his eyes widened at who he saw… Akiya. She was just standing there, as if something was occupying her mind. Hiei decided that he would take a little peek at what she was thinking about. The only thing that he could get out of that was I'm the light talisman echoing all over her mind. He remembered that she had mentioned the light talisman back when they were talking the Ultimate Talisman of the Three Worlds, and that it could be worse than the dark talisman. His eyes widened at the information.

That means that… she the light talisman?

He decided to ask her about it, so he jumped down from the tree and landed behind Akiya. She was so drawn into her thoughts that she didn't even notice him.

"Hey," Hiei called, but got no reply. "Hey!" Still no reply.

Hiei grabbed her shoulder and turned her around to face him. She was surprised at who she saw.

"H-Hiei?" she asked. "What are you doing out here?"

"I could ask you the same thing," he replied. "And where's the person that you had to meet?

"He already left," she answered.

"So why are you out here still then?" Hiei asked again.

"I was just… enjoying the nice weather," Akiya made up.

"You look more distressed and worried," Hiei said, wanting her to tell him about the light talisman without being direct. "You have something one your mind. What is it?"

"It's nothing." Should I tell him? What would he do if I did?

Hiei decided to try to pry it out of her without being obvious.

"Who did you meet with?" he began.

"An old friend," she simply answered.

"What did he need to talk to you about?"

"Just… stuff. Anyway, what about you? You come here to personally see me or something?" Akiya joked.

"Keep dreaming," Hiei said, playing along. "I have better things to look at."

"What!" Akiya asked with her mouth hanging open. She couldn't believe that Hiei just insulted her like that.

"And shut your mouth already, you're killing the trees with the air you're breathing out," he continued.

"Shut up!" she shouted in Hiei's face. "You're the fire demon! Your breath is running the sun outta business!"

So, the insult parade marched on with them throwing insults back and forth at each other. Hiei had no problem with coming up with insults to throw at her. After all, he did it all the time with Kuwabara. He figured that if he went along with her and changed the subject for a while, he would be able to ask her about the light talisman later and get a straight answer. So, after some time, Hiei tried asking again,

"Hey, do you have anything you want to tell me?"

"Like what?"

"That's what I want to know," Hiei replied.

Akiya thought for a bit, and decided that she wouldn't tell him. "I can't think of anything… why?"

"Nothing…" If she doesn't want me to know that much, then I won't push her for an answer anymore. It'll only make her worse…

Koenma's palace suddenly gets attacked by demons and ninjas. The more they kill, the more they come, but if that's the case, then what are they supposed to do? Any attack that Rejuko's behind can't be good, but why is he attacking the palace anyway?
