My life was filled with sorrow and pain. Yes I am afraid of what might happen to those that I love the most, but now that I think of it. I only really love one person. I loved one before but you know, I don't think of her a lover anymore. She was my first and I would have done anything to save her at that moment.
Now she is dead and I can't help but think that I made a mistake then to risk everything just for her. She was someone that didn't matter to me as much as I thought she did. Now I am married but you know what. I don't love the one I married either. I love someone that I never thought I would love. One that I can never have.
He wouldn't even accept me. I know he wouldn't because he has a loved one. He loves her so much and has her hand in marrage. But why am I complaining, I have been married too. So why does it matter to me, why do I care? I don't know anymore and if you ask me….right now death would be the perfect option for me. My life is nothing but pain. For he has me captured and I can't free myself without my demonic power….and this time…Kurama isn't going to save me.
Rosie and I had finally finished our meals. So I paid and then we walked down the streets seeing what was for sell. To tell the truth there was nothing good in the spirit world to buy other than the weapons, but still that human girl ran around like we were at the super market or the mall. I will never understand the minds of human beings and there curious ways.
When Rosie was finally done with her shopping spree we walked down to Etelka's house. Etelka was glad to have us over and I talked to her. While Etelka and I talked, Rosie and the kids ran around the house like the end of the world was coming. They screamed and played and attacked one another as if it was real life, but they didn't hurt each other. It was nice to see Etelka smiling for a change, for she was as she watched her kids play around with Rosie.
I am unsure why Yoko left or who would want to kidnap him for any reason. So while Etelka watched her kids I pondered on this. Rosie finally fell to the ground rather tired and gave out a sigh of exhaustion. I laughed at her and stood up bowing to Etelka and thanking her for having us. Then we both left.
I took Rosie back to the temple and we sat there for a long moment. I stared out at the sky from the door as she played with her hand. She looked up at me and then walked over to me.
"What happened next to Yoko? Did he win against Karasu? Well?" Rosie asked. She was like an eager child that wanted to have a bed time story. I smiled at her and nodded slightly as I continued to the story of the fox demon and his friends.
Yoko, Kuro, and Hiei stood there in front of crow and his men. They stared at one another as the crowed around them began to chant and cheer on the crow lord. No one in the stands cheered on the three slaves. They knew that if they did they would most likely be killed on the spot.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are brought here for the battle of the year." Came a voice that sound really rough and firm. "Some slaves of Karasu's have come forward to challenge him for their freedom. If they loss they will most likely be killed. So let the battles begin…" The announcer sounded rather happy as the two teams began to talk to one another on how the battle was going to begin and end.
Karasu smiled as Yoko walked up to him and they began to talk to one another. "I think we should do a battle of one on one. What do you think, my beautiful fox?" He said with a smile. Yoko shuddered a bit as he thought about the dream then he nodded.
"That is fine with me. Now who is fighting who?" He asked softly glaring at the fox. Hiei came up and pointed at the biggest of the guards and then Yoko nodded in understanding. "Looks like Hiei wants the big one…so.." He trailed off as he began to work up a plan.
"Then the bat demon will go against my other guard and you, Yoko, will fight me." Karasu spoke firmly. Yoko looked up at him with wide eyes. He couldn't fight the crow. He wasn't ready to fight the crow. He just stared to learn his powers there was no way the fox had a chance against the crow.
Karasu noticed the fox's fear and smiled slightly. "Don't worry Yoko….our match will be last. You will have plenty of time to think on our battle." He said with a smile as he got out of the ring leaving Hiei and the big guy there.
The battle had begun. Hiei was out of site the moment they said start. The large demon looked around for him, but he couldn't keep his eyes on the moving object. All of a sound the air was filled with the smell of blood. The large demon have began to bleed from small cutes in his flesh.
Hiei slowed down a bit and glared at the large demon realizing that the flesh was thicker than Kuro's flesh. He was out of breath from all his attacks and his quick speed. The demon before him smiled slightly as a yellow light surrounded him. His power was increasing as he began summon up his power. Hiei being new at this he wasn't sure what to do. He was new at this.
Author's note: Okay so Hiei would never really do this…and you would wonder how he ever survived to live on so long. Well that is for you to find out in this battle….won't it be…Oh I hope you like it too…!
The sky above them darkened and a storm began to stir up. Lightening began to move through the clouds quickly, not like a normal storm. The demon before Hiei smiled as the charges from the lightening circled around him. Hiei watched as he began to plan his attack on the demon. Not yet having the third eye was hard on him. Since he didn't know about the third eye at this time.
Hiei looked at the demon before him and then pulled out his sword as lightening was thrusted at him. His sword took the hit and the shock of the lightening went through his arm making him drop his weapon. The pain going through his body as he growled slightly. He was no longer able to hold a weapon. His plans were becoming more and more difficult to plan up. He sighed softly as he began to run quickly around the demon, picking up his sword in the process. Slowly the lightening couldn't find its target.
Hiei took this moment and found some fire power with in him and it coated his sword with dark black flames. He then went for the demon and stabbed him right in the chest. This didn't phase the demon though. A lot of blood began to run down its chest, but there was no cry or pain or a stumble back of loss of balance. Hiei was confused at the moment and didn't know what else to do. He didn't know what he could do. The demon he had picked to fight was too strong. Karasu smiled at this moment knowing that Hiei had no chance.
Yoko watched as he looked way from the ring. He didn't want to see Hiei get hurt. He was a friend and if he was beaten then that meant that they had no chance at all. Then all of a sudden the crowds went quiet. There was a moment that everything went silent. There was nothing, not even the storm ahead made a sound. Yoko looked at the ring to see that Hiei had split the creature in half. Blood was everywhere as Hiei put his blood sword in the hilt and then walked off the ring.
"THE WINNER IS HIEI…THE SLAVE!" The announcer yelled out with some happiness and Karasu gave a soft growl not liking that a slave had beaten one of his great guards. Yoko and Kuro congratulated the fire demon and they smiled. Then it was Kuro's turn to fight. Yoko didn't know if he was going to win or not…but he sure did hope.
"The next battle is Kuro the slave against the third in command guard." The announcer yelled out. The crowd yelled out mixed names this time. Hiei glared at the demon that Kuro was against but he didn't do anything to show his hatred for the place they were at.
Kuro looked at the demon before him and disappeared coming up behind him and attacking him with his small daggers. He had borrowed some seeds from Yoko and had planted one in the demon's back. He then jumped away and nodded. Yoko without making a scene began to give his energy to the seed in the demons back.
The seed began to grow and the demon didn't seem to notice. It wasn't strong enough to harm the demon like Yoko had planned. Kuro growled slightly as he had been slammed into the ground by the guard. He struggled to free himself from the man's grip. Yoko put more power into the seed hoping for it to work when finally it sprouted and blood flew in the air. A tree had formed where the man's feet where and Kuro pulled away staring at Yoko with a slightly scared look on his face.
"THE WINNER IS KURO!" the announcer was having a kick out of these battles. The strongest demons on Karasu's army had been defeated by demons that had never had training before. Kuro jumped off the ring and looked at Yoko who swallowed hard. He knew now that he had to fight off Karasu. This was there last chance to win and get out of this place and he didn't know if he was going to win this one or not.
Yoko got up into the ring and looked around for a moment as Karasu got in the ring as well. His power was strong and the crowd yelled out Karasu's name. Yoko's tail bristled up as he thought about the night before. The basement, the poison, and Karasu's failing plan, or so he thought.
The crowd got quiet all of a sudden. The only thing that was heard was the footsteps going down stairs. Yoko looked up into the crowd to see Washi walking down the steps. She stopped at the bottom and looked at both the fighters, tears rolling down her cheeks. She then smiled at Yoko.
"YOKO!" she yelled out at him. "YOU CAN BEAT HIM MY LOVELY SILVER KITSUNE!" Yoko smiled at her and nodded and Karasu growled a bit. She sat down and began to cheer on Yoko and so did the people around her. Yoko looked at Karasu who was now in a bad mood.
"You feeling okay, Karasu? You look a little upset." Yoko smiled as he pulled out a black rose. Karasu got ready as well as the announcer told them to begin. Yoko made his famous whip and slashed it at Karasu who dodged it. This battle was going to decide everything, at least that is what Yoko thought at the time.
That battle was going to decided many things for us. It was going to decide if my friends and I were going to be free. It was going to make me and Washi have a life with one another. At least at the time that is what I thought. But it was all a lie…just a lie. Karasu did free us…but it took more than being free to get away. He gave us a chance, but it was a small chance and only the three of us men survived, Washi…sadly didn't.
Author's note: Okay so usually Ayama…the girl telling Yoko's story would talk went it goes to this scene with her and Rosie, yes? Well this time Rosie is telling it because Ayama had a bad little accident…so sorry..yea?
"Then what happened?" I looked up from the bench to see Ayama lying on the ground unconscious. "Ayama! Ayama…" I didn't know what to do. I didn't know anything about demons and there body functions…let alone where a hospital was in the demon world.
I picked Ayama up and ran down to where I remembered Etelka's house to be. I knocked on her door and Etelka walked out with a gasp. Her eyes were wide and bluer than I had seen them before. She took Ayama from me and made sure she still had a pulse. She then invited me inside for she knew a few tricks that she learned from the white kitsune. I was happy to see that she was doing better than the day before.
After a while I got news that Ayama hadn't been eating very much lately. I should have noticed that because she didn't eat any of her food at the restaurant. This made me feel bad because I had just let a friend get sick before me. I should have know the whole time she was getting sick, but I all I cared about was the damn kitsune's life time story. Man I could be self centered some times.
I spent the night there at Etelka's house hoping and praying that Ayama would be okay. She had waken up that day and Etelka forced her to eat so she would get healthy again. She then slept the rest of the day and that night as well. Etelka told me that she would be well by tomorrow so I am not as worried about Ayama as I was when she first collapsed. She almost gave me a heart attack falling over like that. She had me so scared that I almost peed myself and that wouldn't have been funny.
I slept on the floor in the same room as Ayama to keep an eye on her. She didn't make a sound as she slept. The only thing that kept me from thinking that she was dead was the light up and down movement of her chest. She muttered a word here and there about Yoko, but I didn't catch it that well. I finally fell asleep in the black sleeping bag on the floor. The next thing I knew I was pulled out of the sleeping bag and forced to stand over the bed. Ayama was gasping for air, and I didn't understand what was going on. Finally Etelka told me what was happening.
"Ayama is having a nightmare. In her condition if we don't wake her it could kill her. We have to hurry it up." Etelka said shaking Ayama who didn't wake. I remembered something that was on a paper. It said something about Ayama and a little fire. I pulled out a match and lit it. The heat of the room suddenly went wild and Ayama woke up sweating. Her eyes were pale and heartless as she panted.
She looked around panicking a bit and then sighed as she realized where she was. I looked over at her slightly and then smiled at her. "Are you okay, Ayama?" I asked softly so that I wouldn't scare her.
She nodded softly and then answered. "Yes I am fine. Thank you." She laid back in the bed and closed her eyes softly. Etelka smiled and walked out of the room. She felt out of place as it is. I sat down beside the bed and laid my head on it and then sighed. "I am sorry for worrying." She said suddenly and looked at me.
I looked up at her and smiled slightly. I was wondering if she was really okay. Yes, I was worried and all, but I should worry. We are now friends were we not? She has acted like my friend for the longest time, and I thought that was a good thing. "No, don't be sorry. I am your friend now so don't say things like sorry for anything." Ayama just nodded her head slightly and smiled at me. I smiled back and then laid my head down again…as we both fell asleep once more.
That is it...if it is short then I am sorry. If it is too long then sorry so R&Rs please
