Chapter Six: Never Anger an Elf

Lea froze. "That's right. I know that Yuri's death was your fault. And I also know that you killed my father." Kaito accused.

"Shut-up! You have no idea what happened that day!" Lea was close to tears. The onslaught of memeories had come so fast, she was caught off gaurd. The Rekai Tantei just stared at Kaito and Lea in suprise.

"What's he talking about, onna?!" Hiei demanded.

"None of your buisness, Jaganshi!!" The demon, Kaito, smirked. He was going to have fun torturing the elf.

"Aww, you didn't tell them, princess? Tsk, tsk! They have a right to know about your dark past!" Kaito taunted. Lea felt a few tears fall down her cheeks. Kaito was taking her on a guilt trip and knew it.

"You leave them out of this! I can tell them myself when I want to!"

"Don't worry your pretty head, princess; I'll tell them." Kaito then turned to Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama and said, "When Lea and I were about four years old, Lea fell into the trap that my father had set for our food. Lucky for her, her father found her and attacked my dad for it. Thanks to her, an illusion that her father put up failed and he was killed. She then killed my father."

Lea glared. "That's not how it went and you know it!" Lea cried. "Besides, you know it was the silver haired fox demon who killed your father. Or were you watching something different?" she continued. She was starting to get angry with the demon. Something about what the elf had said sounded familiar to Kurama, but he couldn't quite place it.

Kaito glared at Lea and said, "Lea, I must congradulate you on your storytelling, but I think your friends must pay for your lies." The demon then lunged at Kurama. Kurama dodged, then brought out his rose whip. As Lea watched the two fight, she managed to calm down. She was still angry with the demon, but she wasn't gonna let him get to her again. Kaito seemed to have moved on from attacking Kurama to attacking Kuwabara. He defeated Kuwabara, then went after Yusuke. Lea was fed up and shouted, "Instead of being a coward, why dontcha fight me?"

This got Kaito's attention and he smirked. Lea's fight with him started. Punch, kick, block, dodge. They kept this going for a while before Lea asked, "So how did you know what happened?"

"I'd followed my dad and saw the whole thing." Kaito then caught her off guard and pulled her shirt up. "I see you still have a scar."

Lea kicked Kaito in the gut while growling, "Never do that again!" She then pulled her shirt down, which left her open. Kaito found this the oppurtune moment to grab Lea's arm, pull it behind her back, and wrap his other arm around her neck. Lea could see Yusuke, Kurama, and Hiei tense a little. Hiei was about to attack, but Kurama and Yusuke held him back. "It's a trap," Kurama said.

"I know that baka fox. And I don't care. This guy's getting on my nerves!"

Meanwhile Kaito had been whispering in Lea's ear. "Too bad I have to take my revenge on you. You'd have made a lovely mate or meal."

"And how do you propose taking your revenge on me? By killing me?" Lea asked ignoring his last statement.

"No. By making you watch your precious friends die the same way your father did."

This made the elf angry. "Bastard!" she snarled. Kaito ignored her and called to the others.

"If you want the elf to live, you better not attack! Put your weapons away! Have fun staying alive!"

Lea growled as the elfeater sent attacks at the guys so fast that all they could do was dodge. At least one had hit Kurama and he was grimacing. Lea couldn't let this go on any longer. She felt guilty enough about her father's death, she wouldn't be able to handle it if someone else died because of her! As she thought about her guilt and anger, she suddenly realized she was free. She was in a tree watching the scene below. There was an image of her still in Kaito's arms and Kaito himself didn't seem to notice. Another attack managed to hit Kurama and the elf felt unadulterated rage flow through her veins. She was so angry at everything that had happened. She was even a little angry at herself. She wasn't about to let it happen again. "ENOUGH!" she shouted.

She landed behind Kaito and everyone turned. "This has gone on for too long!" Kaito smirked.

"What can you do?" Lea had her arms down beside her with her hands balled into fists. Her eyes flickered red and a sudden breeze blew her bangs back.

"What can I do? I'll tell you what I can do." The earth trembled as the elf continued. "I can kill you!" Her voice was deadly and cold. The earth trembled evn more, so that no one but Lea could stand straight for long without falling. And then, Lea attacked. She attacked Kaito relentlessly until he was dead. Trees had been knocked down and flowers uprooted. It was only then that Lea realized what she had done. Tears flowed down her cheeks.

Kurama came over to her and asked, "Are you ok?"

Lea looked up at him and said, "I didn't have to kill him. I could've stopped him. Maybe even convince him to stop eating elves. He was once like me you know. But instead I let my rage control me." The elf stood- for she had been on her knees- and repaired the damage with her powers. She then asked nature for it's forgiveness. It forgave her and she thanked it it. She went over to everyone else. "I'm sorry you got involved. Maybe I shouldn't have come," Lea apologized.

"'Sokay. I've dealt with worse," Yusuke explained. Kuwabara had regained conciousness and nodded his agreement. The elf chose that moment to walk back to Kaito's body and caused flowers to envelope his remains.

"I am truly sorry. It should not have ended this way. Rest in peace," Lea said in elven though she knew he wouldn't. The guys watched her a minute until Hiei called,

"Baka ferry onna, you can come out of hiding. It's over, now." A shaking and nervous, yet still cheerful Botan flew out of nowhere into their midst.

"Uhhehehe...Um, I was just staying out of your way."

Hiei smirked. "You were afraid, onna."

And with that, everyone started to make their way back to Kurama's, Hiei and Botan fighting the whole time.
