Chapter 22: And Away she Goes
-recap-
He stopped speaking due to the fact that there was a knife pointed at his neck.
"now Seri, that's a little harsh don't you think?"
Serenity pressed the knife she made harder to his neck, her eyes blazing.
"what I think is that you should leave him out of this."
He smiled a bone chilling smile.
"but don't you see? he's the cause of all this."
"what?" she asked, letting her guard down momentarily.
Then all the warmth that had been in his eyes left as he punched Serenity in the stomach. Everyone just watched in silence as she dropped to her knees holding her stomach. It was almost like they were caught in a trance.
"you see, if you hadn't run away from me, if you hadn't fallen in love with him, if you hadn't accepted that necklace, then your life wouldn't be broken as it is now."
still holding her stomach, she looked up "wh-what are you talking about? what does this have to do with my necklace?"
Kanji reached down and grabbed her by the front of her shirt and dragged her to her feet.
At this point the trance that they had fallen in broke and Kurama and Hiei ran at Kanji, ready to kill him for touching Serenity like that.
Kanji looked up and saw them coming. his eyes flashed and they ran into a barrier before they were in range to help her. " you will not interfere"
But Serenity used this distraction to her advantage. he seemed to have forgotten that she still had her make-shift knife.
Kanji suddenly felt a sharp pain in his side and started to feel warm liquid running down his leg. He looked down and saw Serenity's knife sticking out of his side, a look of triumph on her face. "that was for kissing me, asshole"
His expression switched to annoyance as he pulled out the knife.
Everyone just stared at him. you would think a knife to the side would faze him, even a little.
"you dirty little slut"
and with that he backhanded her across the face. blood now dripped from the side of her mouth.
Hiei and Kurama slammed into the barrier, Kurama had taken on the form of Yoko and he was losing patience. he could feel Serenity's despair and that her mid was beginning to crumble.
Kanji's gaze glared into the two mans eyes.
"you can not break through. you should know 'Yoko' how strong a foxes barrier can be"
"and that is why I try all the harder to break through/"
Kanji's gazed turned to Hiei.
"and you Jaganshi, you are plotting the ways to kill me inside your mind. i have killed many demon and humans alike. Your threats do not scare me."
"They aren't threats, when I get a hold of you, they will be real"
Serenity hadn't bothered to get up ff the ground. The slap was nothing new to her, he had done it many times before and he would keep doing it. but it hurt worse with a hangover. The dull throbbing was now back and worse.
She could hear Yoko and Hiei's thoughts. She wasn't sure how since she wasn't purposely getting into their minds. Yoko's words brought some strength and determination. she had just found him and she didn't want to be separated from him again. She knew there was no chance that she could take out Kanji on her own. so she thought of ways to break the barrier.
'if only we could find a way to cut through it' Serenity thoughts reached the men.
Their eyes widened in shock as they thought of something they hadn't thought of before.
"Kuwabara"
"what?"
"come here and break through the barrier"
"what are you talking about?"
"you stupid buffoon! you finally have a purpose in life! now come here and slice through the barrier."
Kanji chuckled slightly . he had seen Kuwabara use his spirit sword before and that thing wouldn't even affect his barrier.
"Spirit sword!"
"I wouldn't do that if I were you"
"and why the hell shouldn't he?" yelled Yusuke
"if you sword can do what you say it can, which I doubt, aren't you a lit worried that you might slice little Seri here?"
He yanked Serenity off the ground and pulled her up beside him and began kissing her face, all the while looking to see the others reaction.
'I think I'm gonna be sick' Serenity thought as he kissed her. This was so unbelievably nasty to her.
Yoko chuckled "Kanji, your disgusting her. and everyone else for that matter now hand her over and you might live."
But Kanji didn't seem to hear him.
"How I missed you Serenity. many nights I'm lonely and long to touch your soft skin. and most of all I miss your screams..."
Serenity's knees gave out and he let her slide to the ground with the images of her times with him running through her mind so fast that Hiei and Yoko couldn't tell what they were, which was probably good since they already wanted to kill him and they might do something stupid. She was visibly white and shaking.
Kanji bent down and spoke softly to Seri.
"now now sweet, you know how much I love you but I will not tolerate you leaving me for some half breed that doesn't even understand love! what makes you think your so special to him? come back to me and everything will be back to the way things were. come."
he reached out his hand and grabbed hers.
"No"
Kanji looked at her in utter shock. Everyone else was just staring.
"what did you just say?"
She reached up and slapped him across the face.
"Did I stutter Kanji? you say you love me but you hit me every time I'm with you! Hiei would never hit me, and I don't care if he was just kidding when he said he loved me. Its better than being with you!"
Kanji wiped the blood from the side of his mouth and smiled evilly.
"Then he is your death sentence."
And before she could do anything, his hand shot out and covered Serenity's mouth and nose.
Now everyone was hitting the barrier trying to break it. Even Keiko was trying to break through.
Serenity's eyes widened as she realized what he was doing. She silently cried as she felt the seed make its way down her throat. Her head began to spin as the lack of oxygen got to her and blackness took hold of her vision till it took her over completely with her last thoughts on Hiei.
"Now if you would excuse me I shall be on my way" said Kanji while he picked up the limp Serenity.
"The hell you are!" yelled Yusuke as he ran back and charged towards Kanji, only to be reflected by the barrier causing Yusuke to swear loudly.
"Just give he back please!" Botan begged.
Kanji just smiled his cruel smile. "now why would I do that when the fun has just begun?"
"what the hell are you talking about?" yelled Hiei, concern clear in his voice.
"now that I shall leave up to your imagination. it will be nothing new that I will promise."
Hiei's eyes widened as he recalled the images he had seen in Serenity's mind.
"I must say this could have easily been avoided if it wasn't for you Yoko."
Yoko narrowed his eyes "you did all this for the locket"
Kanji's grin spread "Very good Yoko, why yes I did"
"why dont you just take it from her and then give her back?" shouted Kuwabara
"Its not that simple"
"what do you mean Kurama?" Yusuke turned o his friend who had spoken.
"The defiled like myself can not take it against the pure ones will. That's why you gave it to her huh Yoko? the locked repelled you , yes?"
Yoko closed his eyes and nodded.
"but I have discovered ways to get it from her."
"how?" asked Hiei, fearing the answer
"either I can break her till she gives in and gives it to me-"
"which she wont" interrupted Yoko
"- or I simply kill her"
silence hung in the air.
"you see Serenity here is a wonderful girl. You should see how beautiful she is when she is in pain. But I have grown tired of her and her struggles to free herself from me so I am going to grant her wish. I will give her a quick death, but yet what fun is that? It should be painful so you all can see her true Beauty. Yes that is what I will do. Now if you can excuse me, I have a date so good day to you"
"no you don't you filthy little-"
"Name calling is not nice Hiei."
and with that he dropped his barrier and ran with everyone close behind him.
"you wont get away!"
"but how do you know I already haven't?" asked Kanji as he stopped running and stood there. But when they tried to touch him, they just went right through him.
"As you can clearly see I am the master of illusions."
and then the illusion faded till it was gone.
The girls broke down and cried for there lost friend. the boys however...
Yusuke started to swear madly and punch down trees. Kuwabara went to calm Yusuke down while fighting his own tears. Kurama and Yoko were having a fight in there mind about if they could have done something to save her.
And Hiei sat numb on his knees, staring where they had gone.
The rain slowly began to fall causing everyone to stop what they were doing and just look at the clouds and the storm rolled in.
The sky was crying the tears that Hiei could not.
