gcvd - Thanks for wonderful review, I'm happy that you like the story so far. Here's the next chapter, enjoy. !
Chapter 1: Unexpected
"Rose whip!" Kurama shouted.
The demon dodged and slashed its claws at Yusuke, Yusuke threw a punch and managed to land it and caused the demon to stumble back a bit.
"Take that ya demon!" Yusuke shouted.
The demon growled "My name is Angra Mainyu1and I will have the power I want, you will not take my prize from me. She is mine and I won't give her up!"
Kurama raises an eyebrow "Maybe it should be her choice to stay or go."
Angra Mainyu scowls at the detectives "NO, She can't escape so it's not her choice – it's my choice."
He started to chant something and a plum colored glow started around him.
(Stop him now!) Youko shouted.
(Why?) Suuichi and Kurama asked in unison.
(That spell – let's just say it will not be pleasant for us.)
Kurama nods and pulls out a death tree seed, the others stopped moving as the tree started to grow. The death tree attacked Angra Mainyu, the glow stopped and the heard a fading scream from him.
"Well that seemed easier than we thought it would be." Kurama stated.
Kuwabara scratched his head "Um, what was he talking about? He said she…did he mean a girl?"
"Idiot" Hiei grumbled.
Kurama raised an eyebrow "Well, whatever he meant it is in that house."
"So what are we waiting for?" Yusuke said, walking towards the house.
The others follow him and carefully walk through the house; they find a door leading to a dark basement. They walk down the stairs and see what appears to be a cage that's about half the basement.
"It doesn't look like anything is in here." Yusuke said, "Stupid toddler got it wrong."
Alecto heard a door open and footsteps coming down the stairs, she pressed against a wall to wait. She had been recovering from the shock that she received from her restraints when she tried to escape. She had felt a barrier fall, maybe that was why she couldn't contact the siblings all this time. She heard voices close to her cage; she didn't know them but wondered if the "toddler" was Koenma. She growled when one of them approached closer and shifted closer to the wall.
Yusuke jumped "What was that!"
"Whatever it may be is locked in this cage." Kurama said and pulled out a seed that grew and lighted the area. What they saw shocked them, it appeared to be a human female, height and weight impossible to tell and she was covered in blood and dirt crouched in a corner glaring at them.
"Miss it's alright, we are going to get you out of here." Kurama spoke calmly and quietly.
The female growled again.
Alecto had no intention of letting these boys get near her, but a quiet voice whispered in her mind It's alright Alie, they will release you and then you can continue with your journey.
Alecto quieted My lady, is that really you?
It is, we feared when we couldn't find you or reach you. Conserve your energy and power for now.
Alright.
She stood slowly and approached the bars of the cage; she reached one hand out and touched the bars to find that although she received a small shock that it was greatly reduced from before. She nodded to the red-head to show him that she understood.
Kurama raised an eyebrow at her actions but understood when he saw the small electric shock she received. Hiei broke the lock on the door with his sword.
Alecto stepped out of the cage and assessed each one of them, as they did the same to her. She was small, about 5'4" and couldn't weigh more then 100 pounds. She had tawny eyes and her hair appeared to be wine colored.
Kurama asked "What is your name?"
She looked startled by the question and when she spoke her voice was quiet and raspy as is from disuse. "Alecto." She answered simply before asking "Is it night?"
Kurama nodded "Let's go."
Alecto swayed slightly and passed out from blood loss from her most recent torture, Kurama caught her while Yusuke called Botan for a portal and soon they were all stepping through to Koenma's office.
Sorry for no Kagome in this chapter, but hopefully in the next. Also more about Alecto soon. Enjoy and please review – let me know what you think.
1 Means "evil spirit" in Avestan. In Persian mythology Angra Mainyu was the god of darkness, death and destruction, the enemy of Ahura Mazda.
