A/N: thank you for the review guys! I'm glad that it wasn't boring for you lot. Here's chapter 2! I hope you like this chapter as well.
--------------------
#wham!# we were thrown into separate spirit cells with such a force I thought I was gonna have a concussion!
I called out to the guard, super pissed and for the fact that we were both claustrophobic.
"GET US THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!! GET US OUT!!! GET-US-OUTTTTT!!!"
The ground was shaking so violently from the constant battering of artic winds and Razi using herself as a battering ram; that the walls started to get gaping cracks.
That gave me an idea. #smirks#
"psst! Razi!"
"Katzi? Is that you?"
"Who else? Look.... If we want to get out of this spirit jail, I'm going to need you to smash this wall down. I'm sure one of your hell slash should be efficient enough"
"No problem, just keep an eye out for those wraiths..."
Suddenly the alarm sirens were screaming as we blasted out of our prison cells. We could hear Koenma doing his nut, making us snigger as we literally pummelled the ogres.
"Ogres? Why does it have to be ogres?" I heard Razi sigh whilst pulling out its spinal cord.
"Yeah, they could have sent something down here with intelligence. Razi stop playing with your food! We can order a take-away when we get back."
"aww...but it's a dragon delicacy....."
Motioning her to follow me down the halls, constantly knocking everyone out of the way with my glacier blasts – but then my sensitive nose picked up on a scent.
By the look on my partner's face – it wasn't a good sign (to her anyways.)
"oh no..Oh nononononononoNO! Bad Wolf! Bad BAD wolf! Don't you DARE even THINK of following that scent!"
It was driving me wild! Whatever it was; it was making the blood in my body go into a deep freeze. Hell I'm even drooling in anticipation!
"Male....in season...perfect specimen!" #grinning like a mad-woman#
"Oh god no, she's blabbering shit again! Come back here Katzi! I'm gonna have to put you on a leash at this rate!!"
Running, the mind's spinning whilst most of the muscles in my body were in constant spasms. I jerked my head to hone into my prey and began clawing at the door where the scent was at it most pungent.
"Fucked this, ARTICAN SHARDS!!" I growled, turning the obstacle into petty chip wood.
Ok....I'm not seeing a naked male sprawled on the bed like I hoped....instead I'm looking at the spirit detectives (the ones that put us in here in the first place), grinning like Cheshire cats as the tall boy with red hair was holding the vial of male pheromones.
The next thing I know I was being whispered to – Razi. She was chained with elemental cuffs.
"Katzi? You just had to go 'lust-mode' didn't you?"
#groans#"nuhhh....where are we? I remember looking at those detectives and that is it"
"We're in the interrogation room" she simply stated.
"Why are you on a chair and I'm in a 'straight-jacket'?" realising that I couldn't break free #scowls#
"After that display?? You just went mad and bit the red-head!! YOU ACTUALLY BIT HIM!! Took a chunk out of his shoulder! I warned them....#shakes her head# 'don't go near you when you go into heat' but noooooo the toddler said it would be safe....pff... no brain wonder – that's what Koenma is..."
"If you two have finished talking nonsense, I would like to continue asking you questions without any further interruptions" A midget dressed in black sniped. I stared at him icily.
It was one of those rooms you see down at the police station only brighter and had a double view mirror. Nice.
"What's the motive behind your killings? Why? Were you in debt by some crime lord?"
Neither of us answered. In fact we looked at him rather bored.
"Come along now, I'm sure you can ask better questions than that" Razi grinned mischievously, making him annoyed further.
"Let me take over Hiei, obviously tact is the key with these two" The red-head spoke over on the speaker-box. Hiei smirked and threaten Razi that she'll get her comeuppance later just as he strode out of the door. I turned towards her.
"Razi, Let me answer his question. Knowing this one, he'll make us answer without us even realising. The next step they would probably have to do is talk to us separately."
She nodded just he walked in, keeping his distance from me and sat on the wooden chair opposite. We watched carefully as he just sat there studying us suspiciously.
"A Dragoness and an Artican wolf....you're both a very long way from where you belong....exiled?"
I scorned him, bearing my canines "exile's for traitors..."
"Is that what you are? Traitors?"
"Fuck off!"
"Razi calm down....he's just toying with our minds"
"Well tell him to stop it, it's annoying me" and she flapped her wings in frustration.
I lifted an eyebrow at him.
"It's wasting both yours and my time wouldn't you agree?"
"I wouldn't say. Hiei, could you come inside and remove the Wolf please – I don't think we'll get our answers from her. Besides, Koenma wants to speak to her"
Koenma? What does that little shit want with me? I told Razi to be brave and not say a word. I know she won't – she was trained by the best war lords known to spirit world! So I'm not worried.
Unshackled but still this time I had a sword held into the middle of my spine – I kept my tail low so that it wouldn't become bloodstained whilst we walked into his office.
A few ogres stepped aside as if the plague had seeped through the air vents; I lapped up the fear with sheer pleasure.
The midget shunted me towards the desk.
"Katzi's here" and walked off. Looks like he's got an attitude problem #glares#
"Hello Katzi...we meet again...."
"Cut the crap Koenma. Why have you brought me up here on my own?"
"Simple... I want to make a deal with you."
"A deal huh? Still playing devil's advocate I see....how about you let my friend out of the interrogation room ok?" #smirks#
He looked at me seriously.
"No can do. When you two are together it's suicide! You two will tear apart this place in no time! This is why I need for you to listen carefully"
"Ok...I'm all ears"
"I need you two to become my detectives' punch bags..."
#growls# "WHAAAT???!"
"Tr-Training partners! I meant to have said training partners!!" he quickly rephrased. Good.
"what's in it for us?"
"Your as bad as that Youko...#sighs# I guess I could over look your crimes...just this once! Your both are going to be earning this through condolences/communal services."
I shrugged. "Meh, fair enough. If it keeps me out of prison and Razi from blasting the place down, sure why not."
"Besides, you can learn a lot from them...like how to attack?"
I face faulted
"Heh...heh....#sweatdrops# I didn't know you knew that I couldn't 'attack' to save my life...."
"I just know, I'm the almighty Koenma..."
"Pff...more like an almighty thorn in my side...." I scoffed as I slid out of the door. Then I remembered something.
"Oh, another thing Koenma...."
"Yeah?"
"Keep that red-head away from me...he might not be so lucky next time...."
Then I went to see if Razi was ok (ignoring the faint giggle from Koenma's office)....I couldn't believe what I was seeing....
"HEY!! You cheated!! Stupid cards!! I'm not paying you a single penny if you're gonna play like that!"
"Uh....Razi? a word?" I stood in the doorway...(I was still cuffed) and told her the news....
"KATZI!!!!?? You're joking! No way! I'd rather have my wings broken one by one than train with those....things!" I thought her eyes were going to burst out of her sockets! I fell over in shock.
"L-listen, hear me out....if we do this.....our charges will be sort of...'dropped'. Just keep in mind that they don't trust us.....and we don't trust them."
"Ok. So...where are we going to be transfered?"
"Apparently, some temple in the human world...which is going to make it even harder to escape. Talismans are littered all over the place – especially made for us."
"Dam, so we're screwed then?" She cocked an eyebrow at me. Hoping that I had a plan to escape from there. To be honest...I didn't.
"Yup, we're screwed more ways than one. And we're dealing now after confirming with Koenma that we're dealing with a human, 2 demons and an ascendant of a battle demon...."
"Plus some master/priestess/psychic human?"
I nodded in defeat.
Razi rested her arm on my shoulder to comfort me.
"Ach, no worries....we're there only for communal service. No more no less. We've survived worse than this remember? Like that time Youko Kurama took us hostage"
I shuddered at the thought.
"Yeah...uh, we've going to be escorted to the temple at some point."
"When? Did they say?"
"Nuh-uh....they said it would be better if they .........."
We were suddenly knocked out. By something...or someone.
