Chain Letter
Chapter 14: Transformation
Chelsey pointed her dark sword at the gang. "So...who wishes to lose their life next?"
"Kitsune...is dead...?" Kaonashi whispered, eyes wide in disbelief. Thoughts ran through his head. 'DAMMIT, what the hell am I gonna tell her Mother!'
"It can't be..." Sora whispered, a few tears falling from her eyes. She wiped them away. Sahara glared angrily at Chelsey.
"I thought you said Kitsune was strong enough to take Chelsey!" Kuwabara screamed in Kaonashi's ear.
"...She's dead..."
Kuwabara waved a hand in front of Kaonashi's face. "Hello? Dude?" Kaonashi still stared into space.
Suddenly, bright red and black flames surrounded Sahara, and bright blue and black flames surrounded Sora. Their faces were in shadow.
Yusuke jumped five feet in the air. "What the Hell! Their energy is soaring!"
Chelsey smirked. "What's this? Have I made you angry by killing your friend?" she asked, smugly. Her face changed when she noticed how high their energy had gone.
"How dare you..." Sora whispered, "How dare you kill Kitsune..."
"You had no right, you heartless, evil bitch!" Sahara said. They lifted their faces a fraction of an inch and they weren't in shadow anymore. They wore expressions of pure hatred, and anger, and disgust at what the spirit had done.
"WE WON'T LET YOU LIVE!" they shouted, simultaneously, and charged at Chelsey. Sora weilded her ban-ryu and Sahara grabbed one of her swords, abandoning the other two. Just before they struck, they disappeared before Chelsey's slightly decomposing eyes. She looked in front of her, confused.
Suddenly, she felt their energy right behind her and turned, but she'd gotten kicked in the face and went flying back. She looked to see Sahara with one leg still in the air. She whipped around in the air...coming face-to-blade with Sora's ban-ryu, and was sliced in half again.
Once again, she re-assembled herself and stared at the two demons. She then charged, her sword becoming a black energy whip with thorny appendages. She swung the whip at the two girls, who dodged to the left and right. Sora's ban-ryu became engulfed in white fire and she slammed in down just as Chelsey landed.
"Ban-Ryu Fire STRIKE!" she cried out. And Chelsey's body was struck with white fire. Immediately after, Sahara readied her sword, and Sora threw her ban-ryu to the ceiling, making part of it crumble and leaving a giant hole. The full moon shone down on them.
Sahara's sword glowed white and she swung it at Chelsey's smoldering body, crying, "UNHOLY MOON SLICE!" Sharp, crescent-shaped blades of white light directed themselves at the spirit, slicing her. White lightning coursed through her body and she screamed in pain.
As her body hit the ground, she looked up to see Sahara and Sora standing in front of her, completely devoid of any emotion, but a pure hatred shone in the back of their eyes like dark fire. Chelsey looked up at them in fear.
"You'll pay for what you've done to our friend, Chelsey," Sora said, monotonously. Her ban-ryu glowed white again and she swung it at the spirit. "LIGHTNING BLADE!" Chelsey's body was shocked by an electrical current that ran through her entire system, like white fire.
"Tojikomeru..." Sahara said as she brought the sword level with her. "Do my bidding!" She pointed it at the spirit. "HOLY MOON EXPLOSION!" The full moon's white light shone down on Chelsey's body and she blew up. Black smoke rose from where her corpse lay.
Sora turned away and grabbed Yurusenai, holding it and examining it. "Kitsune's sword..." she whispered.
She swung it and it made another hole in the air, but after, it shocked her hand. She dropped it with a strangled cry. Sahara rushed to her and looked at her. Sora said, "You take Yurusenai. If the portal closes, we might be able to get out by it."
Suddenly, Yurusenai was grabbed by a black whip and knocked to the side. Sora and Sahara turned and gasped. They heard a dark cackle coming from the smoke. When it cleared, Chelsey's body was as good as new...well, almost, except for the decomposing part.
"Are you children finished?" she asked.
"Children! We're over 300 years old!" Sahara argued.
"Your little friend couldn't defeat me, even with her advantage," Chelsey explained, narrowing her eyes and smirking, "So what makes you think you'll be able to kill me? I have infinite powers!"
"Well, let me tell you," Sahara began, fueling up her energy again, "We have something you don't."
"Something that drives us towards our goals," Sora continued, "Something that can outlast your so-called 'infinite' powers..."
"We have a heart that can love and care," Sahara said, readying her sword.
"And we care for our friends and our home!" Sora finished.
"That's why we're going to defeat you!"
"In the name of Makai, in the honor of Kitsune, and in the respect for ourselves!"
And they charged towards the angry spirit.
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O
While Sora and Sahara fought, the gang watched. "This reminds me of how you defeated Toguro in memory of Kuwabara," Kurama said to Yusuke, "How you thought Kuwabara died, and your soul was fueled by anger and vengeance."
"And then it turned out the baka didn't die...pity," Hiei said, smirking, and glancing in Kuwabara's direction to see his reaction.
"What was that, half-pint?"
Kaonashi was still muttering, "She's dead..." under his breath.
"Children, don't fight here," Yusuke said, coming between Kuwabara and Hiei before someone's head flew off.
"I've...been thinking, Yusuke," Kurama said.
"'Bout what, Kurama?"
"That Kitsune seemed so familiar to me...I just can't place it..." Kurama said, stroking his chin. In truth, it had been bothering him since he first saw the other four fight the zombies. He'd noticed her fighting style, and he thought he'd met her before...but where?
"You'll figure it out...someday..."
Kaonashi, however, began to wander towards the sword, TetYokai, left behind by Kitsune. He looked at it questioningly and grabbed it. Before he knew what happened, he felt it pulse softly. He gasped, causing the other spirit detectives to look in his direction.
"What is it?" Kuwabara asked.
"TetYokai...it's pulsing..." Kaonashi whispered.
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O
"TetYokai...it's pulsing..."
Sahara and Sora stopped before they came to attack Chelsey. They all looked at the brown-haired spirit-turned-human holding the sword.
"That can't be..." Sahara said, "TetYokai can't be pulsing...not if Kitsune's dead..."
"What do you mean?" Yusuke asked.
"TetYokai is Kitsune's sword that she had crafted from her fang, and a small portion of her blood went into it, too. It beats with her heart because it's a part of her. If TetYokai is pulsing now...it means that...Kitsune is alive!" Sora exclaimed in joy.
Chelsey growled. "SO WHAT!" she yelled. Everyone gasped and turned in her direction. Her expression of anger turned into an evil, sadistic grin. "It doesn't matter if she's alive or not. She's trapped within the Shadow Realm, and the only way to get out is through the sword, Yurusenai. The portal you slashed open before has already closed. And if you touch the sword again, you will get shocked. She's not coming back."
She slashed Sora's shoulder and the demon screamed in pain and fear. She fell back and as Sahara turned, she was punched in the face and flew back, smashing into the wall. Her head hit the pavement and she blacked out. Sora stood up and screamed, "Sahara!"
Suddenly, Chelsey phazed in front of her and knocked her ban-ryu out of her hands. She delivered a kick to the stomach and then a punch to the face. Sora skidded back a few feet, unconscious.
"Sora! Sahara!" Kaonashi called. Once again, TetYokai pulsed in his hands. He looked at it questioningly, as if her were trying to talk to it through his mind. 'What is it, TetYokai?'
He was struck with a strange thought all of a sudden. 'How am I able to hold TetYokai and not get shocked? It should have shocked me by now...Maybe it's trying to tell me something...'
Kaonashi continued to stare at the sword, thoughts buzzing through his head. "What if..." he whispered, holding the sword like Kitsune would. He concentrated his energy into the sword and it began to glow. The pulse became stronger, and stronger. The sword shook violently, making a rattling sound as it did.
Just as Chelsey raised her hand to strike down at the two unconscious girls laying on the floor, a bright light filled the room. Everyone sheilded their eyes and when it faded...
"KITSUNE!" Kaonashi exclaimed in disbelief. She grinned at him.
"So, you finally figured out how to summon me back here, eh?" she questioned, "I knew you'd do it..." She glanced at Sahara and Sora, unconscious on the floor. She stared for a couple of seconds before...
"SAHARA! SORA!" she cried, dashing out to them. She kicked Chelsey in the gut, sending her flying back and hitting a wall, but she really didn't give a crap. She bent down and put her fingers on Sahara's pulse. "Holy shampoo..." she whispered, breaking into tears. Kaonashi came over to her.
"What is it?"
"She's dead!" Kitsune sobbed into his chest. He looked at her questioningly. Suddenly, Sahara stirred and said, "Idiot. I was unconscious..."
"Sahara!" Kitsune exclaimed in joy, hugging her. "But how! I didn't even use TetYokai to summon you back!"
"You didn't feel her artery, you felt her bone."
"I did?" Kitsune checked her own pulse. "But you told me it was right here," she said, applying pressure to her wrist.
"Kitsune, don't! That's a--"
Immediately, Kitsune fell asleep.
"Pressure point..." Kaonashi finished, shaking the fox girl. She woke up, sleepily. "What...huh...SAHARA! YOU'RE ALIVE!"
"Here we go again..." Sahara said, rolling her eyes. Sora stirred and sat up.
"SORA!"
"KITSUNE, YOU'RE ALIVE!" And the two demon girls hugged, chattering excitedly. Stuff like, "I don't believe it!" and "Holy spit, what happened to your hair?" and such other random conversations.
"Do you all mind?" Sahara asked, trying to stand up. "We still have a battle to finish...Ugh..." She winced, holding her stomach and flopping back down on her butt.
"You guys are way too hurt to battle again!" Kitsune said.
"And you think you aren't?" Sahara said, as Kitsune tried to take a step, and ended up on her butt as well.
"Okay, maybe I'm a little sore..."
"You relax. I'll take care of Chelsey," Kaonashi said, standing up and facing the spirit, who was, at the time, trying to get up out of the rubble.
She looked him up and down, then smirked. "I remember you. I was the one pulling your strings when you attacked your own teammates."
"That won't happen ag--" Kaonashi stopped. A faint pounding was in his ears. He dropped TetYokai, but the pounding continued. He recognized this feeling. "No..." he whispered.
'Do my bidding,' a voice whispered in his head.
'No!' he answered. 'Not again!'
'Do as I say,' the voice hissed.
Kaonashi clutched his head and shouted to the sky, "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"
Everyone looked at him as though he were crazy. He was struggling, clutching his head. Kitsune walked towards him. "Kaonashi are you--"
Suddenly, the same voice whispered in her ear, 'Kill them.'
'Kill who?'
'Kill them,' it hissed, 'Kill your friends.'
'I can't,'
'Do as I say. Become a full demon and kill them...'
Suddenly, there was a faint pulse. Kitsune's swords dropped, clanging to the floor. They suddenly floated and flung themselves at the wall, becoming stuck there. Kitsune struggled with some unknown force, her body shuddering. She crunched up, hunched over a little, still shuddering. Sora walked towards her.
"Kitsune? What's--"
She heard the girl growling. "Get away," she said quietly.
"What?" Sora asked.
"Sora, get away...Get away from me...!" She turned slightly, still struggling, and Sora saw that her pupils had gotten small and blue, the whites of her eyes becoming blood red. The stripes on her cheeks became jagged. Her claws grew longer and her fangs grew long and sharp. "Away..."
Sora gasped, "No!"
She began to back away from Kitsune. "Sora, what is it?" Sahara asked. She eyed Kitsune, raising her claws up to attack Sora! Sahara dashed out and grabbed Sora's shirt sleeve and pulled her away just as Kitsune swung down at her, narrowly missing her body.
"What's going on!" Yusuke exclaimed. The gang looked over at Kaonashi. His hair turned just a bit longer and became more uncontrolable and wild. His eyes became small black pupils with red whites, and he grew claws on his hands and fangs.
"They're being controlled!" Sahara exclaimed.
Kaonashi and Kitsune looked at them with murder in their eyes. One word ran through their heads, 'Kill.'
Suddenly, Kitsune jumped at Kurama, Sora and Sahara and Kaonashi jumped at Yusuke, Hiei, and Kuwabara.
Kitsune snarled at them, and they dodged as she brought her claws down on her friends. She attacked relentlessly, striking at them repeatedly.
"Kitsune! Please snap out of it! We're your friends, remember?" Sora pleaded. But she sliced at her, cutting across her chest. Sora screamed in pain as blood spurted out of the paper-thin wound on her chest, staining her shirt.
Suddenly, Sahara kicked Kitsune in the stomach, knocking her back a foot or two. Kitsune regained her footing and glared at them, then snarled and leapt at them, claws extended and directed at their faces.
Kurama's rosewhip coiled around her arms all of a sudden, and she stopped her attack. She glanced back at him and growled, grabbing the whip and yanking on it, causing Kurama to go flying into the wall. She cornered her two friends, and they cowered in fear of the now full demon glaring murderously down at them. She raised her hand to attack...
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O
Meanwhile, Kaonashi was slicing at the other three Spirit Detectives with his new claws. He effectively slashed Yusuke and Kuwabara across the stomach, leaving an open gash where blood steadily poured out of. He had brought his foot up and kicked Hiei in the stomch just as he readied his sword to cut Kaonashi's neck.
Yusuke had a hard time standing up, but managed to get to his feet. "Kaonashi. Don't listen to those voices in your head. They're telling you the wrong things," he told the spirit, but his words fell on deaf ears.
Kaonashi sunk his claws into Yusuke's arm, making it bleed, and smirking sadistically at the resulting yowl of pain he'd recieved from Yusuke. He took her claws out and punch Yusuke in the gut, making him go flying back. Yusuke's head hit the wall with a sickening CRACK, and his body slid down the wall, leaving a smeared trail of blood.
Hiei leapt in the air and brought his sword down on Kaonashi...
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O
During the entirty of the two battles, Chelsey McCann's spirit stood back and watched, a sadistic grin on her decomposing, worm-infested lips, and an evil glint in her eyes...
Kitsune: YES I'M NOT DEAD ANYMORE! -dances-
Kaonashi: Er...Kitsune, what's going on?
Kitsune: What's going on? I'll tell you what's going on! CHEESE is going on! But on what...
Kaonashi: O.o
Sora: O.o
Sahara: O.o
Sora: O-kay, while Kitsune's being random, let's get to the spoiler, shall we?
