Hikaru-San: (Runs from impatient fans) YIKES! You people sure are impatient… lol…

Oh well… just shows that I'm loved!

Any who… here we go!

'Gomen ne sunao janakute

Yume no naka nara ieru

Shikou kairo wa shooto sunzen

Ima sugu aitai yo

Nakitaku naru you na moonlight

Denwa mo dekinai midnight

Datte junjou doushiyou

Haati wa mangekyou

Tsuki no hikari ni michibikare

Nando mo meguriau

Seiza no matataki kazoe uranau koi no yukue

Onaji kuni ni umareta no

Mirakuru romansu'

Karei sang as loud as she could. So far, Hakudoshi and Lee looked as if they were going to explode.

"Let's go grab a beer real quick…" Hakudoshi said. "I can't take the singing anymore!"

"I'm with you…" Lee said. The two went out of the room.

"Perfect!" Karei said quietly to herself. "I can finally try it out!"

She scurried to the farthest corner of her room, trying all she could to make sure no one sensed her distress call she was going to send out.

Just remember what daddy said. Focus on the person you want to find you… Karei thought to herself. She pictured Akiya in her mind…

Aunt Akiya…please help me! Karei thought long and hard. A pink aura surrounded her. Then it took off to the sky.

"Akiya… Akiya…"

"Hm…?"

"It's late. Maybe you should head back home for a little bit…" Kohaku said.

Akiya has been at the case non- stop for the past week. She never left the office. And she was now drooling in her sleep over a few maps of possible locations where the Samyosho were hiding.

"Maybe just for a few hours." Akiya said, getting her jacket. "I haven't seen the kids in a while… by the way... no one touches the papers on the desk!"

"I swear!" Kohaku said.

Then Akiya stopped.

"Do you sense that?" Akiya asked.

Kohaku looked confused.

Aunt Akiya! Help me! Please... a small voice said inside her head.

Karei?

Akiya was able to see what Karei was seeing. Two other youkai just came back into the room.

"Ryuka! The kid's channeling youki!"

"Well… Stop her before she gets far!"

Then the vision stopped. Akiya instantly remembered what one of the boxes in the room said.

"I GOT IT!" Akiya cried out joyfully.

Akil and Sano, who just happened to be passing by the room, peeked in curiously.

"I'm telling you! Sessh is a genius to teach her that trick!"

Akiya grabbed a sharpie from her pencil holder and place a giant circle around a warehouse on Tokyo bay.

"That's where Karei is!" Akiya said happily.

"Are you sure?" Kohaku asked.

"I'm positive. I can't believe the Samyosho would hide there! On one of the boxes in the youki that Karei send over was a label. A Kansei Corp. label. She's being held in one of the shipping yards for Kansei Corp. Alongside Tokyo Bay, which explains a lot about the sea smell!"

"Should we alert the police?" Akil asked. "We could use a little backup…"

"You're joking right?" Sano intervened.

"We got all the TPD (Tokyo Police Department) we need here…" he said, pointing at Kohaku.

"I… uh… wha?"

"He's right!" Akiya said, as she dragged the men downstairs for gear.

"We're doing this solo. I know that you trained a lot at your dad's dojo for this kind of situation, Kohaku, so I'm not too worried." Akiya said, as she got out her trusty access card again, slid it through the scanner and the four entered the Gadget lab.

Sesshomaru shuddered from the odd feeling.

"Sessh… is something wrong?" Lili asked looking up from the dinner plate. Rin, Sayuri, and Ryusei did the same thing.

Sesshomaru shook his head.

"No… nothing's wrong." He replied.

But Sayuri wouldn't get rid of the worried expression. But she went back to eating dinner.

I can't say anything about sensing Karei's youki. Sayuri would get worked up. Besides… it was really faint. He suddenly smirked to himself.

That's my girl…

"What the hell do you think you were doing!?" Ryuka shouted.

By then, the aura Karei had disappeared.

"Trying to find someone to help me!" Karei shouted back, her eyes briefly red for a second.

Ryuka suddenly slapped her. Karei cried out in surprise.

"You little brat…" Ryuka said through clenched fangs. She then started to crack her knuckles, prepared to slice the little girl into pieces with her claws. Her eyes started to glow red.

Karei looked up fearfully. This was beyond her. She crunched together, prepared for the impact.

"Ryka…" a voice called out.

Ryuka's eyes went back to her usual blue and turned around. Kentaro and Naraku stood there.

"What are you doing?" Naraku asked boredly.

Ryuka placed her hand down.

"The brat was testing my temper…" Ryuka replied.

"The girl is coming with us…" Kentaro said, walking towards Karei. "We will be heading to Kobe. Since Onigumo- san sensed the girl channeling her youki earlier. We have to go and change locations now…"

Ryuka flinched at the thought. She glared back at Lee and Hakudoshi.

"I told you two to keep an eye on her…" She muttered angrily.

"But you wouldn't have stood the singing either…" Hakudoshi said in his defense.

"Of course, you all will be paid triple for your efforts…" Naraku added. Kentaro dragged Karei along.

"Hold on, Ritoki- san…" Ryuka said, lifting a hand. Everyone in the room froze.

"I smell… cat…" Ryuka said, her hand gliding against the daggers on her waist.

Hakudoshi and Lee caught on too.

"Hm… whoever it was… they're gone now…" Hakudoshi said. "I can't smell them anymore…"

"Don't be an idiot!" Lee said. "They could have masked it just now."

"The Elite is here…" Ryuka said. "I recognize the little feline bitch's smell…"

Karei brightened up when she heard Ryuka. When the scent was still visible, Karei recognized it immediately.

Aunt Akiya!

Kentaro gripped Karei's shoulders hard, making the girl cry out.

"This is bad news Naraku…" Kentaro said. "We were supposed to give Tashio the deal tonight…"

Naraku thought about what to do in their current situation.

"Kentaro- san..." he finally said. "You and the girl start making your way towards the heli- launch… I have a bit of unfinished business with an ex of mine…"

"The rest of you…" Naraku said, pointing at the youkai mercenaries.

"Kill whoever enters the building…"

"Ha-ha… neat… We finally get to have some action…" Lee said, his hand already reaching for his snake like sword.

"Shit… I knew we should have placed the masking scent on us before we left!" Akiya mumbled on the radio.

"Relax Kiya…" Akil replied. "We got too excited over finding Karei…"

"What do you mean 'we'?" Sano said, though his message was a little staticy.

"You know what I mean…"

"I see something going on the roof…" Kohaku said from his hiding place.

"Um Kohaku… that would be me…"

A black figure waved towards Kohaku.

"Opps… sorry Akiya…

"Ok… what are your positions? We already know where Akiya is…" Sano said. Akiya groaned.

"I'm on the west side…" Akil replied. "I'm going to disable the security system… easy entrance…"

"Kohaku?"

"East side… I see some movement going on inside…" Kohaku said, as he saw dark figures walking pass the window.

"I'm on the north…" Sano said, gripping his gun tightly. "Remember you guys… this is not the training room…"

"Akil, you and Kohaku enter on your ends after you disable the security system, I meet you guys when the fighting starts. That way… we'll have a distraction while Akiya goes in and gets Karei out of there… you got that?"

"Sano… I should have warned you… Akil and I are just going to follow those orders as guidelines… usually we improvise when we're on missions." Akiya said, placing the silencers on her guns.

"Oh whatever… you got the plan…" Sano said, clearly getting annoyed.

Akil went ahead and messed around with the wiring. He finally narrowed it down to the four he needed. Red, blue, green, yellow. With his claw, he snipped the yellow one.

"Security disabled…."

"Move in…"

Kohaku entered the building slowly and cautiously. He kept his guard up, his chained sickle in hand. He would have gotten a gun, if he wasn't already comfortable with the weapon he had now that he's been training with since he was ten.

Akil followed after Kohaku confirmed that he was in.

Akiya used her claw to cut the glass. Then she slipped in just like a cat.

"Well, well, well… we meet again…" a voice called out.

Akiya turned, to find a female dragon youkai. Behind her, was a snake youkai, with Karei in tow.

"Aunt… Aki…ya…" Karei gasped through the snake's grip.

"You know Akil…" Kohaku said into his headset. "It's too quiet…"

"Yeah? I agree with you…" Akil replied. Suddenly the lights flashed on, blinding them for a minute.

"Lookie here Hakudoshi!" Lee said, hanging off the rafters. "We got visitors…"

"I like visitors…" Hakudoshi said from behind, as he swung his sickle at Kohaku, who barely dodged it in time. "…except when they're from the Elite!"

Shit! They were ready for us! Kohaku thought frantically to himself, as he kept dodging the attacks Hakudoshi was throwing at him. Akil was busy fight Lee and his Constricting Sword.

But where's Karei!?

Hikaru- san: ooo… cliffy… don't you hate me for it…?
