The Many Colors of the Soul
"Ugh...." Came a groan from Huyana.
"Shut it Jaganshi, my head hurts, I'm trying to sleep.." Meiyou said rolling over.
"Where are we?"
"In King Yomi's stockade.... What you wanted, right?" Meiyou said sitting up holding her head.
"What?! Stockade?!!" She shot up. "Ow.. Head rush.." Huyana held her head. "GOD DAMMIT!!!" She said kicking the bars of their cell.
"Ouch.." Meiyou said watching her old her foot, jumping around. "Idiot..." She muttered.
"GOD! If I had a dime for everytime I've been knocked unconscious and thrown in a damp, dark, dungeon, I'd be rich!!" Huyana said sitting against the cell door.
"Could you split it fifty-fifty with me? I'm kind of broke..." Meiyou remarked sarcastically.
"That's not even funny... God!! Why does this kind of thing always happen to me?!" Huyana said putting her head into her hands.
"Because nobody likes you and you have a lot of enemies?" Meiyou said standing up.
"Okay, one more remark from you and I'll train my new powers on... THAT'S IT!!!" Huyana jumped up smiling.
"What? What's it?!" Meiyou said looking at her oddly.
"My new powers!!! I'll break these bars and well be out of here!!" She said excitedly, but then frowned.
"What? Something wrong?"
"I forgot.. once I use my powers I can't control myself..." She said sadly.
"Great..."
"You two!!" A guard said.
"Present and accounted for." Huyana said sarcastically.
"We will take you to King Yomi, HE will decide your fate!" The guard said opening the cell.
"This guard must be stupid!" Huyana whispered to Meiyou.
"Stupid enough to catch you!" Meiyou smirked.
"Exactly..." Huyana smirked back. "Lets just play along.." She said looking back to the guard. "Oh PLEASE!! Not King Yomi!!! NO!!! WE'RE INNOCENT BY PASSERS!!!
"Hmph! Save your lying for someone else, your spies of Mukuro and we know it!!" He yelled grabbing their wrists, putting chains on them.
"Bingo...." Huyana thought. "But we're not!! We swear!!" Huyana whined again.
"Yea right!!" He dragged them through the palace.
"Hey! Watch the boots! Their new!!" Huyana then said, glaring.
"Watch it, baka-head!!" Meiyou hissed at her.
"Alright, that's it.. I've HAD IT!!!" She stopped walking and glared when he tried to pull her again.
"Why aren't you moving, brat?!?!" The guard exclaimed.
"Okay you, I'm tired, I have a lot of work to do, my HEAD HURTS!!! AND I AM NOT IN THE MOOD FOR YOUR BS!!!!!!" She said getting in his face.
"S-Sorry..." The guard said.
"Now do us a favor, take these chains off, tell us where Yomi is and I MIGHT, emphasis on MIGHT let you live!!!" Huyana glared, flames arising in her eyes again.
"O-Okay!!" He said removing the chains.
"Thanks, you can leave, and tell all your little guardy friends not to come after us!" She said walking past him.
"Wait for me, Jaganshi!!" Meiyou ran after her.
The guard took out a radio out of one of the compartments on his belt and spoke into it.
"All units, we have a code red, I repeat, we have a code red! Two young girls, both about the same height are headed for Lord Yomi's chambers! Stop them no matter what!!" He shouted following off after them.
Sirens started blaring, flashing, making everyone go deaf... Huyana and Meiyou stopped, looking up.
"You just can't trust anyone now a days...." Huyana murmured.
"Got that right, so, where do we go? They've probably got guards surrounding Yomi's chambers..."
"For once, I think your right." Huyana said looking ahead to where King Yomi's chambers were.
"Man, what I wouldn't give to have Hiei here with me...." Huyana thought, feeling slightly nervous.
"There's Gandara..." Yuka said. "I think I'll wait here..." She said turning around to go back.
"Don't even try that." Youko said grabbing her arm.
"Darn..."
"Lets go, I want to save my sister and go home if thats alright with you." Hiei said exasperated.
"R-Right..." Yuka nodded.
They walked through Gandara, seeing it was half empty. Yuka walked behind Hiei, looking left and right for any sign of anyone.
"Wow this place is as dead as the Osore no Mori." Hiei said watching every thing as they walked.
Youko laughed lightly. They came up to a large palace.
"Well, this is great, I'll wait out here. You don't need me, I'd just get in the way!" Yuka said smiling nervously.
"I don't think so, Yuka. We might need your powers in here." Youko said to her before she was about to walk away.
"B-But, your plants and Hiei's flames should be enough!" Yuka said devastated.
"Yuka, just come on." He said dragging her in with them.
"Ugh! Oniisan! Let go!!" She whined, trying to break free of his grip.
"Stop your whining." He glared, making her shut up.
They walked through the palace. Empty as outside, where was everybody?
"Maybe they migrated somewhere else?" Hiei said looking around.
"No, Yomi's scent is here, and I can hear people, I just can't place where..." Youko said.
"Probably down near Yomi's chambers..." Yuka said silently.
"Well then, lets check there." Youko started walking towards his chambers.
Hiei followed after, looking back, Yuka was starring at the ground. He sighed and walked back to her, placing a hand on her shoulder. She was tense...
"Yuka." He said silently, catching her attention. "I'm well aware that you don't want to be here, neither do I. But we have to help Huyana. I promise once we're out of Makai we'll never make you come back here again, alright?" He questioned with slight hope in his voice.
"Fine." She finally gave in.
They took off after Youko, catching up with him. The trio paced quickly through the palace, feeling they were drawing nearer. There were two giant doors in front of them, leading to the main hall.
"This is it..." Yuka thought, swallowing lightly.
"This is it..." Huyana said, the guards surrounding them.
"We're toast..." Meiyou conceded.
"Burnt toast with ashes and really bad tasting butter..." Huyana agreed.
"Jaganshi, now is not the time for jokes, I'm to young to die!" Meiyou yelled.
"Hey! I'm younger then you!" Huyana yelled back.
"I prefer straw. And only by a few months!!"
"QUOTE STEALER!!!!" Huyana said, sounding devastated.
"QUOTE QUOTE STEALER!!!!" Meiyou said back.
"And here I thought Youko was the only bandit around now a days..." Huyana muttered. "Oh gosh! Youko, Hiei, Yuka, Kurama, Kima! Melin.. Yusuke, Kuwabara, Genkai-"
"What's your fricking point, Jaganshi?!"
"What if I die again!? Hiei will kill me!! We'll, not technically he won't be able to. I mean I'll-"
"JAGANSHI!!!"
"Be de- sorry..." She smiled nervously.
The guards started closing in, all smirking, taking out their swords and other various weapons and what not. Huyana and Meiyou backed up against eachother.
"Why don't you pick on someone your own size?!" Yuka yelled out, catching the guards attention.
"Yuka! Hiei!! ..Youko.." Huyana said happily, well, partially.
"I-It's Youko Kurama!!!" One guard said.
"But he was killed!!" Said another.
"And Jaganshi Hiei!"
"Now see, that's what I'm talking about.. They know HIM but they don't know me! How fair is that?" Huyana said to Meiyou.
"I know, for real... I feel the same way. Everyone knows my sister, but, well not everyone, mostly men, my sisters a prostitute-"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, to much information... didn't need to know that!" Huyana said shaking her head quickly.
"Hey, your sister isn't Saitoko Teiji is she?" One of the guards asked turning around.
"Yup, that's her." Meiyou said sighing.
"I was with her the other night!!" He smiled. "Are you anything like her in bed?"
"I SHOULD HOPE NOT!!!" Meiyou shouted.
"Weren't we saving Huyana?" Yuka asked.
"I think so, but it looks like she's doing fine.." Hiei said his left eye twitching lightly.
"Who's that girl she's with?" Youko queried.
"To hell if I know." Hiei said crossing his arms.
"To hell if you know ANYTHING about my life..." Huyana thought to herself.
"I heard that, Huyana." Hiei said glaring at her.
"Heh heh heh...?"
"Funny.... Lets just kick their asses and go home, this is getting boring." Hiei smirked.
"Whoa, hold on a minute there bro..." Huyana said walking past the guards to him. "I came here for a reason. I'm not leaving here, or for that matter, MAKAI until I find out what I need to know." She said glaring at him.
"Right, sure, whatever. We'll leave when you want. Do you think I WANTED to come here and save you?! If it wasn't for us you'd be beaten to the ground!!" Hiei's eyes flickered.
"Well SORRY for being ME!!! It is NOT my fault I have this new power that I can't control!!" Huyana shot back.
"Have we ever fought like that, Oniisan?" Yuka asked distancing herself from the bickering duo.
"Plenty of times..." Youko replied.
All the guards, Meiyou, Youko and Yuka all just watched as Huyana and Hiei battled it out. Insult after insult, until Meiyou broke it up.
"YO! Jaganshi!!!" She shouted, catching both Hiei and Huyana's attention. "Or should I say, Jaganshis'?" She kidded. "Seriously, brake it up. Your not going anywhere with the fighting, it's actually giving me a headache.."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa now! GIVING YOU A HEADACHE?!" Huyana stomped up into her face now. "IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU, I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN CAUGHT, THROWN IN A DUNGEON OR EVEN BE IN THIS PREDICAMENT FOR THE MATTER!!!!!" Huyana vented.
Meiyou had recoiled over into a dark corner, her purple eyes wide, her mouth gaping. She looked like the world was about to explode and her and all of her precious belongings were going to hell.
"S-Sorry?" Meiyou mumbled out.
"YOU SHOULD BE!!!!!" Huyana said, feeling her powers flare again.
Her eyes went pale, as well as fire surrounding her body. She hunched over, clutching her chest, beads of sweat sliding down her face. Her body was on fire, inside and out. She heard the voice inside her head again...
"Weakling!! You'll never amount to anything if you don't learn to take the pain!! Let me take over!! Your going to spontaneously combust!!" Her inner self told her.
Huyana mumbled something, but not even her inner self heard it.
"I'm sorry, what was that? Your in pain? You can't take it?"
"I said... SHUT UP!!!!" Huyana exploded, her power flaring higher.
"Someone tell me if there is a classer higher then S?" Yuka said using her arm to shield herself.
"There isn't.... She's at S right now... Flaring back from A to S..." Hiei said.
"Shut up?? Why? Your the one who can't take the pain!!"
"I can so... I'm just trying to control my temper, and whoever you are, YOUR NOT HELPING!!!" Huyana yelled in her mind.
"Why, I'm you of course! I'm your more evil inner self.... Everyone has a dark side... My lovely Princess of Darkness, you are no different.."
"Princess of Darkness? Heh.. haven't heard that one in a while..."
"Well, now you have. You don't know how to control your power... let me show you!!!"
Huyana's mind suddenly went black, her eyes went from crimson to full red, her hair returned to the combination of mint green and Jet black, and her cloak returned. She looked at her hands, smirking.
"That's better... rest now, princess, you'll return to your own body soon.." She whispered silently.
"J-Jaganshi?" Meiyou asked.
"Yes Meiyou, this IS me, the REAL me... Can you handle it?" Huyana smiled evilly.
"Y-You aren't her... Your not Huyana!! She's mean and obnoxious at times, but she NEVER, EVER smiles like that!!! And her eyes are just like her brothers over there!! And her hair is different too!! Your not Huyana!!" Meiyou shouted.
"Oh, but I am..." She said back.
