Oh maaan!!!!!! It's coooooold!!!
Oh, sorry about that, ehe... Eto... I'll shut up and start the chapter now.
Enjoy!
The door of Koenma's office blew open and I stood there, looking very serious. Apart from scratches and a little bleeding from the mouth, I was all right. But any condition would be better than Shiku's that's for sure.
At first, I did not releaze that the room was occupied by more than just Koenma, since I just barged in and kicked his desk quite angrily. I started going off on how I was going to blow something up and destroy things and Shiku and Greece. It took more than five minutes before Koenma could calm me down.
After a quick swipe of my mouth to get the blood off, I finally noticed the four of them, three standing up, the other one still sitting. They all stared at me, holding the pendants I had made. I took a deep breath to keep my calmness then asked, "Where's Shiku?"
"I will not allow any visitors. She is probably having emergency treatment as we speak, so its best not to bother anyone," Koenma said.
"Where are my Guards?" I asked.
"Three are helping out with the chores, two are in the vault to keep an eye out for any intruders," Koenma informed me.
"Where are the spies?" I asked.
"All staring at computer screens and reviewing the confrontation Shiku and you just had with Ikuro," Koenma replied.
I closed my eyes, took another deep breath along with sighing before turning around. I eyed all four of the guys there, and then said, "Don't think that just because you know me I'm going to make things easy! Put on the pendants, don't loose them, and go to any training ground and practice opening them!"
Their jaws dropped. "Sana? But-" Kuwabara started.
"No buts! Kurama, you go to where Shiku is and use your specialties to help her in any way possible!" I ordered. "Hiei! Go find any Guard and train with them!"
They all left, or so it seemed. They left the door a opened a crack and peaked inside, eavesdropping. I had pulled up a chair and sat down on it, head in hands. Koenma had turned his screen back on and busily wrote things down on a piece of paper. After a silent moment, Koenma said, "Just because I'm allowing you to be their leader-"
"I have to use the same policy as I use for any other group of people," I replied.
"I know that. Just don't overdo it and hurt yourself or someone else," he said. "And speaking of hurt, you need to go see a Healing Agent soon and get yourself all healed up. We don't have time for you do be all weary and bleeding and wounded."
-Two Days Later-
"Shiku can now take visitors," a doctor told me at my bedroom door.
I nodded my head, and closed the door, turning to the Detectives who sat on my bed, looking for hope up at me. I took a deep breath before we set out to Shiku's hospital bedroom. Upon our arrival there, we found that Shiku was connected to many life support machines. She was barely breathing and I could feel no Spirit Energy anywhere around her.
Yusuke brought up five chairs so we could all sit down next to the bed instead of towering over her.
"She looks a lot better than what she did when we saw her," Kurama said, trying to cheer me up.
I nodded my head. "It's all my fault. I should have reacted quicker and pushed her out of the way or something like that," I said.
"But then it would be you in her position, not her," Yusuke said. "Which, with all honesty, would be somewhat painfuller than it is now."
I shrugged. "I still should have done something," I replied.
"Like what?" Hiei suddenly snapped. "You had seven people targetting you. Do you really think you would have made any difference? Think about Sana, if you had managed to push her out of the way, you would have taken her attack, you would have killed yourself. Shiku's death would have been delayed by two seconds."
Everyone was shocked, Hiei sounded pretty mad. I looked down at the floor, then at Shiku. Hmph, if you put it that way, then of course I wouldn't've made a difference, I thought.
Then stop beating yourself over it. Shiku is alive, though barely. You worrying your head off and not doing anything about the current situation will only delay her recovery, Hiei telepathically said.
I pouted. Fine then. I won't worry. God, you are so frustrating! I replied, and stood up, startling Kuwabara and Yusuke.
"Well then! What are you all sitting down there for?! Hurry up and get out of here! Ikuro needs to pay for what he did, so lets get this mission over with," I said.
They all stood up and waited for my orders.
"I want Kurama and Hiei to come with me and analyze the tapes that Koenma has, to figure out the seven fighting styles of the teenagers. Yusuke, I want you to gather up my Guards and train with them, teach them things, make them teach you new things. Kuwabara, I want you to join the group of spies and go on their mission. Use any means you feel necessary to get the job done," I ordered. "The job is collecting all the papers on the seven teenagers, investigating their residences prior to their joining up with Ikuro."
Everyone nodded their heads, and those who needed to go somewhere, Yusuke and Kuwabara, opened a portal and disappeared through it. I went out of the room with another glance at Shiku, and headed towards Koenma's office. Going in, I went through a couple drawers, throwing tapes to Kurama who catched them all, then we returned to my room to watch them a billion times.
-My Bedroom-
Kurama occupied the desk against the left wall, with all the wires that connected to the security system of the vault, staring at two small television screens, writing things down on pieces of paper. Hiei sat opposite of Kurama, doing the same thing.
I poured over many books, each open to different page numbers, spralled out all over the floor. Eight small televisions surrounded the outside of the books, wires running all over the floor. To my left, three sheets of blank white paper, behind me, a pinter that printed out scales and lines and numbers, to my right, pens and pencils, highlighters and more papers, in front of my, a clipboard with notes.
I picked up a book, scanned the paragraph, jotted notes down, threw the book back in its place, stared at the screens, reached behind my back and stare at the random numbers.
About an hour passed, and then Kurama said, "Everything is quite all mysterious, but something sticks out. They all have orange Spirit Energy."
"So?" I asked, reaching over three books to grab another.
"So, you usually don't find more than one person in a "group" with the same Spirit Energy. Or the same shade, or shape, uses or something similar. But they are exactly the same, the same shade..."
"Well, that does sound a little bit odd, but Ikuro might have done that on purpose to keep us away from the true truth," I said, slamming a third book shut.
After another moments silent, I grunted. "There is no such thing that matches their fighting stances."
"They could have just made the stance up," Hiei said.
"But I feel like I've seen it somewhere before." I started.
The door to my room flew open and a doctor wearing all white emerged. He had an expression of seriousness and concern. I looked up from the books covering my legs.
"We have a major problem! Shiku has stopped breathing completely. Her heart is failing, our life support machines aren't working. They're power just vanished!"
