Ch 10 Sea Sickness
Light looked out at the ocean wondering where they were going. Looking at Kurone felt sorry for him. Walking over she held his hair back as he continued to retch over the side of the boat.
"Ugh." Kurone said dry heaving.
She rubbed gentle circles into his back trying to give some comfort. "I'll get you some water to rinse your mouth out." She said as she loosened her own hair using the tie to hold back Kurone's hair should he need to retch more.
All he could manage was to nod before leaning over the side again. She sighed and went off to look for the young man who had rescued them from slavery and demon fighting. yuusuke she said to herself, that's what he said his name was. She already knew the name since she already knew him but better to not let him know that.
"Excuse me Yuusuke." she said coming upon the small crowd of him and his gang, "I need some water, Kurone more like needs it. He's not taking very well to sailing."
Yuusuke looked up at the fox who was standing demurely at his left side. "Of course, I'll have one of the crew bring you as much water as you think he'll need…Doesn't he still have those clamps on his wings?" He asked as she had turned to leave.
"Yes." She said pausing.
Yuusuke turned to Hiei and said, "Hiei do you think you could get some badly placed clamps off the bat's wings? Cause I a thinking that is doing nothing to help his nausea."
Hiei just jumped off his perch and followed the fox.
"Urameshi," kuwabara said, "Do you get the idea that shrimpy knows something we don't?"
The demon lord nodded, his eyes following Hiei as they went around to the Port Bow where Kurone was still retching.
Hiei walked beside the fox and once they were outside of the human's and demon's hearing said, "Priestess."
She started and looked down at Hiei, "You Know?" She asked softly.
He nodded.
"Why haven't you told the others then and carted me off to Koenma's to reclaim my soul?" Her distress evident in her voice.
"Only I know." He said arriving behind the bat. Placing his hands on the wings they glowed for a second then the clamps shattered, releasing the cramped up, bloodied and sore wings.
Kurone sighed just a second before he emptied the rest of his stomach leaving nothing but dry heaving.
Once he was finished Hiei just walked off. Kurnone whispered while leaning over the side of the ship. "I wonder why he hides this deep secret?"
"I don't know Kurone, I don't know." She said rubbing between his wings as he tried not to dry heave anymore.
In the forests moving swiftly through the trees, plants and bushes leaning out of the way of the silver blur, mixed with a little black. Dark looked up at the fox carrying her, he was furious. His future mate had been stolen from him and he would not take if lightly.
"Youko, when are you going to fulfill your dream and marry Light?" She said trying to make him think of brighter things.
"as much as I want her so badly It is a goal in my future and my little friend, goals are dreams with deadlines." he leapt over a fallen tree and continued his mad dash to the lands of Raasin hoping he made it before the ship got into the harbor.
As they rounded a corner nearly to the crossroads to Raasin's there they stopped. Youko set Dark down and stepped in front of her. Soldiers stood blocking the way in. Sldiers with the insignia of Prince Koenma, and King Enma.
"Where is the pale broad?" one of them said cruelly.
"Yes, we must take her to the realms of the dead where her dark soul will not trouble the world." another said.
Youko stood firmly, "You will not have her."
"Oh but we think we shall, since it is our duty as spirit guards." Their energy grew and you could feel the tension that filled the air as you could see their power. Youko's eyes grew dangerous.
"You flaunt your powers before another, yet do not assess the dangers it will bring to your own person. I give you my warning now."
His hair turned more wild, his eyes became like a cats, claws extended beyond the normal length. In more of a growl then an voice he said, "Tis Youko they cry!"
Before they could say more then "YOUKO?!?"
The fear in their eyes was evident but the mercy of Youko was not. He tore them to pieces. Claws entered their chests tearing out their still beating hearts. He dug his claws into one of them and grabbed a rib and yanked it out of him causing the man to die from the stress and carnage of the maddened fox. Blood filled the clearing and soon a deathly silence filled the air.
"Come. We must hurry." Was all he said before scooping her up and running a new determination in his footsteps.
