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

Akiya reveals to Koenma and the rest of the detectives that the Ultimate Talisman of the Three Worlds wasn't only one, but two talismans. Rejuko calls Akiya to meet him in the forest, which she does. He reveals to her that she is the light talisman and tells her to join his group. Hiei reads Akiya's mind and finds out this information as well, but when he asked her about it, she wouldn't tell him, so Hiei just decided to drop the subject…

Run Away Forever Chapter 13- Attacked!

Yusuke and the others arrived at Genkai's. They went inside her temple and found her drinking tea with Yukina. Kuwabara ran over to Yukina.

"Yukina, my sweet!" Kuwabara cried, holding Yukina's hand in his, earning him a weird look from Akiya. "How I have missed you so! You've missed me too, right?"

Akiya looked over to Hiei to see his disgusted expression. She laughed quietly to herself.

Hiei's has a lot more self control than I thought. Just watching Kuwabara makes me want to knock out his teeth, Akiya thought amused.

"What are you doing here?" Genkai asked Yusuke as Akiya went to join them.

"I came to visit a little old lady who lives in a little old cottage," Yusuke joked.

Genkai glared at his comment.

"Okay, okay," Yusuke quickly said, noticing her expression. "We came to tell you to be on guard."

"What for?" Genkai questioned.

"I dunno," Yusuke replied lazily. "Something about him needing you and Yukina or something like that."

"I may be a psychic, but I'm not a telepath," Genkai told Yusuke. "I can't tell who you're talking about when you refer to them as him. There are millions of hims in the world. It would be helpful if you identify which him you're talking about."

"Rekujo… or something like that," Yusuke answered.

"Rejuko," Akiya corrected and continued on. "And Koenma didn't say anything about Rejuko needing you or anything. Koenma only told you guys to be on your guard. He said that Rejuko wanted Yukina dead before, so he wanted to make sure that she was safe as well as you since you're with her."

"I see," Genkai replied. "If he's so worried—Hm? Akiya? Akiya!"

"Akiya!" Kurama called worriedly.

"Hey… hey!" Yusuke yelled.

"Akiya!" Kuwabara shouted to her.

"Akiya!" Yukina called, running over to her.

She was motionless and didn't respond. It was as if she had suddenly been frozen in time.

-----Akiya-----

"Where am I?" Akiya asked out loud, her voice echoing slightly.

She was surrounded by nothing but whiteness. It was completely empty, and it seemed as if she were floating in nothingness.

"Hello," said a familiar voice.

That voice! Akiya thought. "Where am I!" she demanded.

"Why, we're inside a void in your mind," he answered as if it should've been the most obvious thing in the world.

"What do you want!" she demanded again.

"I just want to talk," he answered. "You can relax." When Akiya didn't reply, he continued. "As you now know, you are the light talisman. I need you to come with me so I can accomplish my task."

"And you think that I'll just hand myself over to you?" Akiya asked.

"No," he answered. "But I decided to give it a try. I'll be nice enough not to issue the attack that I have been planning if you cooperate and come along. If you don't want to come with me, I'll just have to take you by force. Which one will it be?"

"I think I'll go with the second choice," she said with a hint of mockery in her voice.

"I'm getting tired of the lack of respect that I get from you," he said annoyed.

Rejuko performed hand seals, alarming Akiya. The white space around them began to change. She saw two girls who looked familiar, and two women that she didn't recognize.

Suddenly, Rejuko became transparent; then he completely disappeared. The once white space around Akiya began to grow dark. She looked around and saw the four ladies that she saw earlier, right before Rejuko had disappeared. They were all in a huge tank which was sealed shut. Water suddenly started pouring in. In a matter of minutes, the tank was full of water. The four people trapped inside were banging on the tank with their hands, trying to break free, but they couldn't. They were suffocating. If Akiya didn't do something, they were going to die!

Akiya ran over to the tank and tried to perform a technique. She did the seals necessary, but nothing was happening. She tried again, and again. Knowing that she didn't have much time, she tackled the tank, punched it, and did everything she could without the help of her techniques, her spirit energy, or her weapons.

"No dammit!" she shouted.

The water lever started to lower unexpectedly, but only by about three inches. That gave enough room for them to surface and breath. Akiya felt hot suddenly. She looked closer at the tank and noticed the water inside starting to bubble.

"No!" she shouted.

Akiya pounded her hands on the glass desperately. She could here the water boiling, and the four people inside screaming hysterically. She looked up and them and saw their flesh burned… they were going to be boiled alive! And the worst part was, there was nothing she could do to help.

Whispers filled her head of how she let them die. She also heard names, most likely, the ones that belong to those four.

Keiko… Shizuru… Atsuko… Shiori…

She squeezed her eyes shut and covered her ears, wishing that the whispering would go away. The four names wouldn't stop, but then a new name came up, one that belonged to someone she was quite familiar with.

… Yukina…

Akiya opened her eyes again. The moment she did that, she wished that she hadn't. Yukina was right in front of her, scorched. Her skin was burnt crisp. It was practically falling off of her in pieces.

Someone… someone get me out of here! Akiya thought. Anyone! Just help me!

-----Meanwhile-----

Hiei was getting annoyed with everyone calling her name over and over again uselessly. To be truthful, he was a little worried, a little. She had been unresponsive for quite some time, just sitting there motionlessly with her eyes opened and a blank expression on her face. After a couple more minutes, Hiei shoved everyone out of the way. He grabbed Akiya roughly by her shirt and punched her hard across the face.

"Hiei!" Kuwabara cried. "You can't hit girls!"

Akiya snapped back to reality and blinked a couple times. She turned face to face Hiei who let go of her shirt.

"Akiya!" Genkai yelled as she ran over to her. Akiya was trembling, her eyes wide from what she had witnessed in her mind.

"Hey! What's wrong?" Yusuke asked.

"What happened Akiya?" Kurama asked as well.

Yukina and Kuwabara ran over to join everyone.

"K-Kei-ko," she said slowly, taking in deep breaths, gaining everyone's full attention. She went quiet.

"What!" Yusuke demanded, grabbing her shirt. "What about Keiko!"

"Hey, Urameshi!" Kuwabara shouted, pulling Yusuke's hand from Akiya's shirt.

"Calm down Yusuke!" Genkai ordered as she turned back to Akiya. "What happened? Akiya! Look at me and tell me what happened!"

"Who are they? Keiko... Shizuru… Atsuko… Shiori… who are they Genkai?" she asked quietly.

Everyone looked at each other.

"Who are they?" she asked again.

"Keiko's my friend, and Atsuko's my mom," Yusuke answered.

"Yeah, and Shizuru's my sis," Kuwabara replied.

"Shiori is my human mother," Kurama said.

It all makes sense! Akiya thought. "We have to get them," she said. "I think that Rejuko has his eye on them."

"How would you know?" Yusuke asked, not liking the sound of it.

"Let's just say… it's a bad feeling," she replied.

Just as she finished saying that, Botan came on her oar with a panicked look on her face.

"Yusuke, Spirit World's in trouble!" she shouted as she ran over to them.

"What happened!" Kuwabara asked.

"It's being attacked!" Botan shouted again.

"What!" Kurama asked shocked. "How could that happen!"

"I don't know, but if we don't hurry, then their going to overrun the palace and Koenma will be…!" she trailed off.

"Damn!" Akiya cursed. "Rejuko's behind this! That bastard!"

"We have to go now!" Botan yelled desperately.

"I'll come with you all," Genkai said.

She summoned a portal for everyone to go through.

At the Palace in Spirit World-----

"Dammit!" Koenma cursed. "Where the hell are they!"

George, his ogre, was beside Koenma, trembling in fear. There were many other ogres barricading the door and trying not to let their enemies in. Koenma knew that they wouldn't be able to hold much longer. After all, those ogres were pretty weak, or so to say. Sure enough, the door blew open, knocking back all of the ogres. The enemies jumped at Koenma, ready to kill him. Koenma squeezed his eyes shut, bracing himself for the attack.

"Koenma-sama!" George yelled.

Koenma opened slowly opened his eyes seeing as the attack he braced for never came. In front of him, were the Spirit Detectives.

"Guys!" Koenma shouted relieved. "What the hell took you so long!"

"Would you have preferred us coming in a little later?" Yusuke asked. "That would've taken care of your complaining."

"What's up with all of these guys?" Kuwabara asked.

"I don't know," Koenma replied. "They just suddenly attacked here!"

"This is insane!" Kurama said as he lashed his Rose Whip out, killing some opposing enemies.

"There must be hundreds of them," Hiei stated.

"Hurry! Get rid of them!" Koenma ordered.

"Then stop talking!" Hiei commanded as he slayed seven of them with one swing of his katana.

Akiya drew her katana and killed everyone she could as Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei did the same. However, they noticed that the more they killed, the more ninja and demons were appearing. They were being outnumbered. At the rate that they were going at, they would run out of strength long before the ambush would be over. Akiya set her katana down beside her, bit her thumb, and performed a series of hand seals. She set her hands face down on the ground.

"Summoning Technique!" she shouted.

There was a poof. When the smoke cleared, there was a large gray/silver wolf in front of her.

"Kitamaru, help us out!" she ordered.

"Right!" Kitamaru answered as he slashed his enemies with his claws and tail.

Despite the fact that he was a wolf, he proved helpful. Akiya picked her katana back up and continued to eliminate the enemies. Even with all of them and Kitamaru's help, there was still way to many enemies to fight. For everyone single opponent they killed, at least three more appeared.

"Ahhh!" came Kuwabara's voice.

"Kuwabara!" Yusuke shouted in concern for his best friend. Yusuke turned his attention to Kuwabara's enemies and fired his Spirit Gun at them, saving his friend. This however, left Yusuke defenseless.

"Yusuke you dimwit!" Genkai yelled, firing her Spirit Gun at them.

Everyone was fine, except when they had to worry about whether Kuwabara was still alive or not. Koenma stood back and watched along with George, Botan, and Yukina. He could tell that they weren't going to last if this kept up. But there was nothing he could do. What they needed was more help, the only problem was, there was no more help that he could get. The detectives had been fighting until they were forced to retreat. They all jumped back with Koema and the others. Akiya put up a barrier that protected everyone for the time being. She knew it wouldn't last forever.

"There numbers are far greater than ours," Kurama said. "We won't last much longer like this!"

"I know," Koenam answered.

"Akiya-sama," Kitamaru called. "You don't have much energy left."

"Do you think that any of us have much energy left?" Hiei asked icily. He was getting frustrated with the never ending amount of enemies. Sure he loved to fight. Heck he loved to kill, but this was just ridiculous.

"Kitamaru, are you tired yet?" Akiya asked.

"I'll be fine Akiya-sama," he answered.

"How much longer can you last in a fight like this?" she asked.

"I don't know, but I will last as long as I can. Why do you ask?"

"I can't keep this barrier up much longer… it's draining too much energy."

"Then let it down already," Yusuke said.

"Yeah, we can take em!" Kuwabara said confidently.

"You sure you're all rested?" she asked to make sure.

"Let it down!" Hiei ordered.

Akiya nodded and let the barrier down. As soon as she did, the demons and ninjas all jumped at them. Everyone released their energy and knocked them away. They went in and continued with their killing spree. Suddenly, all of their opponents stopped attacking and cleared a path. Rejuko was the one walking in.

"My, my, still fighting? I'm impressed that you're able to last this long," he complimented. "Not bad."

"Rejuko!" Koenma shouted as everyone, even the detectives, looked at him. "What are you doing! Why are you attacking this place!"

"What? You mean you don't know?" he asked, pretending to be shocked. "Why don't you ask little Akiya that? Why am I attacking Akiya?"

"How the hell should I know!" she asked angrily. "Cuz you're a psychopath!"

"If that's the way you're going to talk, then have fun fighting for your life," he said. With a wave of his hands, the ninjas and demons jumped in to attack. The detectives were caught off guard and weren't able to defend themselves from the position that they were in.

"Shit!" Yusuke cursed.

Kitamaru jumped between the enemies and released a large amount of energy, blasting the enemies away. Everyone except for Akiya jumped in to continue fighting. Akiya checked on Kitamaru.

"Kitamaru! Kitamaru! Are you alright!" she asked worriedly. "Kitamaru!"

"I'm sorry… Akiya-sama…" he answered weakly. "I'm out of energy. You'll have to handle the rest yourself."

"Alright," Akiya said. "Don't worry about me. Go Kitamaru!"

There was a poof and he was gone. Hiei began to power up, getting ready to use his Dragon of the Darkness Flame. Akiya noticed what he was doing and teleported over next to him. She grabbed Hiei's wrist and pulled it to his side.

"What do you you're doing?" she asked seriously.

"Getting rid of our problems," Hiei simply answered.

"With your Dragon of the Darkness Flame?" she asked again. "You can't control that thing!"

"Yes I can!" he argued.

"Not like Hayate-san!"

"How would you know!"

"Because you really can't control that thing!"

"I did in the Dark Tournament! I even absorbed its attack!"

"Just because you managed to get lucky once doesn't mean that you'll get lucky again!" she shouted. "Besides, if you lose control of that thing, we're all dead! Me, you, Yukina! And even if you do absorb its attack, that will exhaust you too must! You'll go into a seven hour hibernation! Then you'll be useless!"

"So what!" Hiei asked. "At least that will take care of these pests!"

"Do you think Rejuko won't be able to stop your attack!"

"Hey lovebirds!" Yusuke called. "You think you guys can stop your damn arguing and start killing instead! It might actually help for a change!"

Damn! Akiya thought. If only the others were here right now… they'd be a lot of help… and with Kitamaru gone now… we don't stand much of a chance at surviving…

The detectives along with Koenma, Botan, and Yukina were forced back into a corner. They continued to fight them off but they were running out of strength fast. Kuwabara's Spirit Sword was barely even flickering. All Yusuke had to fight with were his fists. Kurama kept lashing everyone away with his Rose Whip but he was getting tired. Hiei seemed okay, but even he couldn't take on that many enemies. As for Akiya, she was using her techniques which were greatly draining her energy. They were running out of strength. Soon, their foes began to overpower them. Suddenly, seven people appeared in front of them and the enemies were blasted away.

"Rejuko!" shouted a familiar voice, one that Akiya knew all too well.

"Guys!" she shouted relieved. It was Hayate and the others, including the children.

Rejuko ordered his men to stop attacking and appeared again.

"Well hello," he greeted. "You people sure like to interrupt my fun."

"Black Flame Tech-!" Hayate shouted after he performed the hand seals, but stopped abruptly.

Rejuko suddenly appeared right in front of Hayate without any warning. Hayate looked up at Rejuko, stunned. He was fast, at least ten times as fast as Hayate, twenty times as fast as Hiei and Akiya. That wasn't a very good thing. Everyone stared at him with nervousness.

"What's wrong?" Rejuko asked Hayate with a hint of mockery in his voice. "Am I too fast? Too strong? Are you shocked? This isn't even my full speed."

Hayate, stunned, didn't respond, but only stared at the person in front of him. Rejuko punched Hayate in the stomach. He flew straight through the wall on the other side of the room and into the wall in the next three rooms, leaving a huge dent behind him. He stayed stuck to the wall for a while, then fell to the ground limp. It left everyone speechless as they stared at Hayate in complete shock. As much as Hiei would hate to admit, he was stunned. Hayate had beaten him with ease back when they fought, and now Hayate was beaten in one hit.

"That was fun," Rejuko said. "Since I'm in a good mood, I come back in… let's say… a week. Be stronger by then, all of you. I feel bad beating up dolls."

With that, he disappeared. Akiya was the first to snap back to reality.

"Hayate-san!" she shouted in concern as she ran to check on him.

Akiya goes back with Hayate and the others to train with them. Yusuke and the gang also train as well. How much stronger will they be when Rejuko attacks again? And where's Akiya and her group? With their new strengths, will they be able to at least land a hit on Rejuko this time? Also, what does Hayate talk to Akiya about?
