Chapter 7

(Yeah, I'm sorry about not updating. I hit a snag, writer's block, grrrr. Well I this hit one but this is what I have sorry about the hituas. I hope you like it.)

Once Mr. Murasaki (Karin's father) came home hours later he quickly alerted the police. Before the sun rose the next day, everyone in the small kingdom knew she was missing along with Akoshi. "Where did he take her?" Misoka growled pacing back and forth in his room. "You're gonna burn a hole in the floor." Nozomu warned watching him.

Misoka stopped and starred out his window that over looked most of the kingdom. "Well you grew up here. You know the landscape better than any of us. Where is the best place to hide?" Nozomu asked. "Mh...the caves seems like it would be the first place he would hide." Misoka siad turning back to Nozomu. His eyes hit a chest, his eyes quickly ran up to a handsome, older face. "It would be faster if we help you." Nozomu said in a deep voice. He had transform into his true form.

There was a knock on the door but before anyone could answer, Akira patted in followed by Mitsuru, they were both in their real forms. "let's go, we're getting her back." Mahiru said sitting on Mitsuru's shoulder. "What? Guys I appreciate it but she's my fiancée. "Misoka protested. "Yes but you're our friends, beside the more the merrier right?" Akira said approaching the window. Nozomu picked up Misoka and they flew out the window.

"I'll kill you!" Karin growled kicking at Akoshi. He had dressed her in a flowing white gown and tied her up. He had taken them deep into Paniro Cave. "Careful love, save the aggression for tonight." Akoshi said evading her kick and getting in close. He held her chin up to look up at him. "No one has ever turned me down,...but you." Akoshi explained. "Hate to break it to ya buddy but you're not that great looking." Karin spat pulling away from him. Akoshi growled and grabbed her face again. "Hmp! You think that now!" Akoshi hissed laying a kiss on her cheek.

'Misoka please hurry. I can't take much more of this creep.' Karin thought as she pulled away again. "You're so full of yourself! I hate men, no boys like you the most!" Karin hissed trying to transform. 'Damn, why can't I transform? There was a full moon last night. Could he have use a drug while I slept?' Karin wondered. Akoshi ears wiggled hearing a far off noise. He was in his true form. He was a dark tengu. (I made that one up don't ask.) So he stood at least 6 foot maybe 6 and 1/2. "Excuse me sweetie." He said smirking as he headed to the mouth of the cave.

Meanwhile the rescue party landed outside a group of caves. "Alright these are the only cave around here. But there's three of them and they interconnect. We'll have to split up to search them. Mahiru, Mitsuru you guys search Nahiyo cave, it's the one on the left. Be careful it tends to flood but it's the wrong season right now." Misoka ordered pointing to the far left cave. "Alright we'll send a breeze though if we find her or him." Mitsuru said taking Mahiru's hand and heading towards the cave. "Akira since you're the strongest and fastest you search Kiwano it's the middle cave it's the smallest." Misoka said pointing to the other cave.

"Alright, I'll bark if I find her and being her out of the cave." Akira informed him then took off. "Alright Misoka we'll search this one together." Nozomu said approaching the last cave. "It's Paniro cave, it's a bit more complex than the others and the two of together should be able to find her." Misoka said staring into the mouth of the cave knocking a few rocks in. Nozomu grabbed his shoulder and stared him straight in the eyes. "Misoka , do you want to change?" He asked. Misoka sighed and shoved his hand off his shoulder. "You know I can't do that. I...just can't." Misoka sighed staring at his tiny hands.

"Yes you can. I said earlier Karin got your ears back. With the tear drops back maybe you can. Hell I don't know what it is. Think of Karin, of impressing her by kicking this guy's ass." Nozomu said not losing eye contract. Misoka sighed and closed his eyes. "Fine, I'll try it." He grumbled. After several minutes he relaxed his eyes but didn't open them. "This is stupid, I don't feel anything." Misoka said say opening his eyes. He was staring at Nozomu's eyes. He had grown. Nozomu just smirked and jumped down the mouth. Misoka glared at the back of his head but followed.

Akoshi soon returned alone. "Didn't find anything?" Karin mocked. Akoshi growled at her. "They'll come and you know it. It's only a matter of time.' Karin pushed. She loved to see him angry. His growls grew louder. He raised his hand up. "Do it!" Karin spat glaring him. "I know you won't cause you know once I'm untied I'll get you back or Misoka will. He'll destroy you. "Karin hissed trying to transform again.

"Shut up!" Akoshi shouted which echoed though the cave hurting Karin's ears but she kept going. 'Maybe I get him to crack and get out of here.' Karin thought. "What's wrong nervous? You know it's true. It's only a matter of time." Karin shot stomping her left foot. He growled and hissed at her. "Ohhh vicious." She mocked smirking. She was getting to him.

"Did you hear that?" Nozomu asked. "Yeah, it sounded like him. Let's go." Misoka said starting to run towards the source of the sound. "I heard footsteps.' Karin thought. 'Maybe it's them. Keep distracting him.' Karin thought.

(That's it. I hoep you like it. I just wanted you guys to know it was still going. If yo uwant to suggest anytihng jsut drop me a line alrihgt. Bye for now, I WILL be back. Bwahahaha!!)
