Chapter 14
'mmm, where am I?', Kira thought to herself as she slowly woke up from her drug induced sleep.
As she tried getting up she felt her wrists being held in place,
" What the hell!", she whispered in shock as she noticed her wrists being held in place by shackles.
" Where the hell am I", she growled trying to get loose." There's no use in trying to get away. Those chains are almost unbreakable, especially for a half breed", a feminine voice called from the darkness.
" Angel!", she growled, her eyes briefly turning red.
" The one and only. Now to answer your question as to where you are, we've brought you to Makai", she answered with a smirk.
Kira looked at the demoness in front of her in shock.
" Makai? Why did you bring me here?", she asked, trying to stay calm.
" It's the only place I could think of that would keep you in your demon form so I could obtain your powers. Now, shall we begin?", Angel explained to her.
' She doesn't know that she can't get my powers anymore. This may work in my favor', Kira thought to herself.
" And I've already told you, go to hell!", she growled at the demoness, and spit in her face.
Angel wiped her face, then immediately slapped Kira across the face.
" You bitch! Give me what I want or I will make sure you never see your friends or family again!", she snarled.
" I will never give in to the likes of you! Heh, and besides there's no way for you to obtain them", the girl told her, forgetting everything she thought of before.
Angel stopped and looked at the half breed in front of her,
" What do you mean by that, half breed?!", she growled looking at Kira with malice in her eyes.
" Like I'm going to tell you!", she replied with a sneer. This only earned her Angles claws being embedded into her shoulder.
" This is far from over, half breed!", she snarled into Kira's ears, then ripped her claws out her shoulder and left the wounded girl in her cell.
' Damn it, I hope Kurama see's through Sakura and knows what's happened', she sighed to herself as darkness over came her.
Back in the ningenkai, the spirit detectives have all gathered to come up with a plan to get to Makai and rescue Kira.
" We'll have to get Koenma to let Botan get a portal for us to get there. That's the only way we'll be able to find her", Yusuke told them, a serious look on his face.
" Yes, I agree. We have to do it as soon as possible though", Kurama put in, trouble and concern clearly written on his face.
Yusuke took out his communicator and had Botan open a portal to Spirit World.
" To what do I owe this pleasure of your visit?", the little ruler greeted them.
" So I take it you haven't heard what happened to Urameshi's sister, huh?", Kuwabara asked getting right to the point.
" What's happened to Kira? I haven't heard anything yet", he asked in alarm.
" She's been taken by that cat demon. She took her to the Makai", Hiei explained from his corner by the door.
" What?! How the hell did that happen?!", Koenma bellowed.
Kurama did everything he could not to lash out at the prince,
" We didn't have any control over it. She had covered her presence before we knew she was here", Kurama stated calmly.
" Do you have any idea what she'll do to her when she finds out she can't have her powers?! That demon will kill her!", Koenma bellowed again.
Kurama's eyes flashed red as his hand came down on the princes desk.
" Don't you think we know that! That's why we need a portal there now!", he growled.
Koenma looks up in surprise at Kurama, understanding why he was so edgy.
" Kurama, I will provide a portal to Makai. Don't worry, Kira is strong she'll be fine", Koenma told the fox demon calmly with a sigh.
Yusuke came over to Kurama and put a hand on his shoulder.
" Kurama, I'm just as worried as you are. We'll find her, I promise", he told his friend and partner.
" Botan, prepare a portal to Makai at once", Koenma told the blue haired ferry girl.
" At once sir!", she replied then hurried to do as she was ordered.
A few moments later, the spirit detectives gathered at the portal to the Makai.
" You four be careful and bring Kira and yourselves back in one piece", Koenma told them.
The four detectives stepped through the portal, instantly converting Kurama to his demon form.
" Lets find her and get out of her", Kuwabara replied once their feet touched the ground.
" We don't even know where to start, you idiot", Hiei snapped at him.
Kurama closed his eyes and concentrated.
' Kira? Kira, can you hear me?', he tried to contact her telepathically.
Seconds turned to minutes until finally he heard a faint response.
' Kurama, is that you? Where are you?', he heard her ask.
Kurama let out a sigh of relief before answering.
' Yes my love, we're here in Makai to rescue you', he told her.
' We? Are the others with you as well?', she asked.
' Yes, Yusuke, Kuwabara and Hiei are here as well. Can you tell me where you're being held?', he asked her trying to quickly get her location.
There was silence for a few moments.
' I don't know exactly, they had me drugged when they brought me here. But if I had to guess, it's some type of fortress. I'm in some type of dungeon chained to the wall', she answered as best she could.
' Very well, just stay safe and we'll find you as soon as we can. I love you Kira', Kurama replied softly, as he ended the conversation.
He turned around to see three sets of eyes looking at him in confusion.
" What were you doing just now?", Yusuke asked.
" I was contacting your sister. She's unharmed as far as I could tell and is being held in some type of fortress. Where it is she couldn't say, they had her drugged when they brought her here", he answered grimly.
" So which way do we go?", Kuwabara asked.
" Hn. There's only one fortress near here, and its to the west", Hiei answered.
" Then west we go", Yusuke agreed beginning to head that direction, with his companions following shortly behind him.
Meanwhile, some where in the west in a dungeon, Angel was again torturing the female half demon.
" Tell me why I can't obtain your powers, half breed!", the demoness snarled as she struck Kira across the back with a whip.
Kira was now suspended in the middle of the dungeon by shackles on each wrist, her shirt torn from the lashings she had received for the second time that day.
" And I said, go to hell! I'm not telling you anything, you dumb bitch!", Kira growled, trying to ignore the pain.
Angel whipped her one last time and turned to leave.
" It seems I need to resort to a more drastic means of retrieving what I want. Kuronue, stay here and make sure she doesn't try to escape. I need to think", she ordered the bat demon and left.
Once he was sure the demoness was gone from the dungeons, he turned his gaze on the bruised and battered half demon.
" I can see now why Kurama is taken with you, you're tough and brave. But also foolish, you know if you don't give her what she wants she will kill you", Kuronue told her.
Kira looks up at the demon in front of her almost too weak to keep her head up,
" She'll kill me anyway, so there's no point in giving in to her. Besides, you know why she can't have my powers, and yet you don't tell her anything. Why?", she replied quietly.
" Because, in all honesty, I'm using her", he stated matter of fact way.
" What do you mean 'using her'?", she asked in confusion.
" It was the only way to let Kurama know I was alive. I figured if that bitch came to me for help, then I could use her to get to Kurama. That simple", he explained to her, leaning against the wall.
" Why is it you want to see Kurama? Do you and him have some past history or something?", she asked out of curiosity.
" Before Kurama became Shuuichi, he and I were partners in a band of thieves. You know the rest as I'm sure he's told you about his past. He's thought that I was dead this whole time, luckily I survived my ordeal", he explained to her.
Kira looked at him, trying to comprehend everything she was told.
" So, you two were a couple?", she asked, trying to lighten the mood.
Kuronue looks at the girl like she had grown a third head.
" NO! I assure you I like the opposite sex. We built the thieves guild together. I was his second in command", he told her with a sigh.
He looks at her again and notices her deep in thought.
" Kira, are you alright?", he asked her as he came up to her.
Kira snaps out her trance and looks at Kuronue.
" Huh? Yeah, I'm fine. And I was just teasing you about being in a relationship with Kurama. I have to make jokes about some things to keep my mind off of other things", she explained to him with a grin.
Kuronue could see why his friend liked this girl, she's always cheerful even when she's in pain.
" You were connecting with some one telepathically, weren't you?", he asked her point blank.
Kira looks at him trying to decide whether or not she could trust him.
" How do I know that you won't tell miss bitch what I tell you?", she finally answered.
" You don't, you just have to trust your instincts", he answered with a shrug.
Kira thinks to herself for a few moments.
" Fine, I was talking to Kurama. Him and the others are here in Makai. They're on their way as we speak", she finally told him, trusting her instincts.
Kuronue looks at Kira in surprise,
" It'll take them at least a day to get here. Then they have guards to deal with, Angel wont make it easy", he informed her.
" Some how I don't think that going to stop them", she replied.
Kuronue was about to answer but stopped when he heard footsteps coming their way.
Moments later, the door swings open and in walks Angel and a guest.
" Kuronue, has she said anything?", the demoness demanded.
" No, she hasn't said a word while you were gone. Who's he?", he asked shaking his head towards the new comer.
" None of your concern. Now leave us, I'll contact you when we're done", she told him with ill content in her eyes.
Kuronue was about to argue but thought better of it and left,
' I sure hope they get her soon. I don't know how much more she can take', he thought grimly as he walked away.
As soon as the bat demon was gone, Angel turns to Kira with a evil gleam in her eye.
" So, still won't talk, eh? Well we can fix that. You see my friend here has ways of making people talk and he's going to show you. Grim, would you please?", Angel smiled sweetly at the demon.
" It would be my pleasure", he replied with a sneer.
' Oh no, this isn't good', Kira thought.
The next day, Kurama and the rest of the Spirit Detectives had almost made it to the fortress where Kira was being held.
" We're almost there, I can just make out her spirit energy", Kuwabara reported to them.
" It's weak, so is her demonic energy. We have to hurry!", Kurama exclaimed in alarm.
The four detectives hurry to the fortress and stop just inside the tree line.
" Ok, there are four guards at the entrance, one for each of us. But we don't know how many inside", Yusuke whispered .
" Then lets take care of these ass holes and then worry about the others", Kuwabara suggested.
They ran out of the cover of the trees and quickly took out the four guards.
" Hey Kurama, do you know where she's at?", Yusuke asked as they came to the doors.
" Yes, she's being held in the dungeons. I'll see if I can contact her", he said as he closes his eyes.
" No need to, old friend", a voice interrupted his thoughts.
Kurama's eyes shoot open as he gazed upon the bat demon.
" Kuronue? I thought you were?", the fox demon whispered in shock.
Yusuke and Kuwabara looked on in confusion while Hiei stood to the side, arms folded and his usual scowl on his face.
" Uh Kurama, who is this guy?", Kuwabara finally asked.
" Oh so sorry for being rude, my names Kuronue, a friend of Kurama's", he answered.
Yusuke's eyes went wide as he suddenly remembered where he had seen this bat demon.
" You're the one who was after my sister! Where is she!?", Yusuke demanded.
Kuronue puts up his hands to calm Yusuke down.
" If you don't hurry you might not see her again", he replied grimly.
" Can you take us to her?", Kurama asked coming out of his shock induced state.
" Yes I can, follow me", he told them as he went through the doors.
" Can we trust this guy?", Kuwabara whispered to Yusuke.
" Yes, we can", Hiei spoke up from behind him.
A short while later, they're led to the very bottom of the fortress where the dungeons are located.
" Stop! I think Angel and her companion are still in there from what I can sense. We'll have to wait till they leave", Kuronue whispered to them.
' Please, be alright', Kurama thought to himself.
" Tell us what we want to know!", a male voice snarled as he applied a shock once more to the prisoners body.
" Ahh!", a feminine voice screams out in pain.
The girl looks up weakly at her captures.
" Screw… you… Angel! You're so… stupid you can't… even figure… it out!", the girl growled at the demoness.
Angel growls and back hands the girl in the face out of frustration, and roughly grabs her chin to make her look up at her.
" Listen very carefully Kira, tell my why I'm not able to obtain your powers or I'll make sure the next jolt you get stops your heart", she whispered with malice in her voice.
In response, Kira spits in her face.
She turns to Grim and nods for him to proceed.
Kira struggles against her chains even though she know its useless.
" Hold still, this will only hurt a lot!", the demon sneered as he put his hands on Kira's chest and shocked her.
" Ahh!", she screamed as the current ran through her, rendering her unconscious.
" I'm quite surprised the half breed made it this far", the demon commented.
" Lets take a break, come back in a couple hours", Angel told him as she left the dungeon with Grim right on her heels.
" That bitch can die for all I care. She's too much trouble now that I can't have what I want, I'll just kill", Angel muttered to herself.
The two demons moved past the spot where the four detectives and Kuronue were hiding.
" Damn it, we have to hurry!", Yusuke told them urgently.
They quickly make their way to where Kira's being held and stop outside the door, which happens to be locked.
" So any ideas on how we're getting in?", Kuwabara whispered.
Yusuke uses his spirit gun and blasts the door open.
" Very smooth, Spirit Detective", Kuronue remarked with a smirk.
" Oh no, Kira!", Kurama cried out in alarm.
Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei and Kuronue turn to see the bruised and battered form of the half demon, unconscious.
" What did those bastards do to her?!", Yusuke growled in anger at seeing his sister, turning to the bat demon for answers.
" That other demon she had with her was an elemental demon. Apparently he used his electric attack on her. I'm amazed she's still alive", Kuronue answered in awe.
" Yusuke, Kuwabara take a shackle and release her wrists", Kurama instructed them.
The two boys did as instructed and managed to release Kira's wrists. Kurama catches her as she falls.
" Damn, she doesn't look good", Kuwabara commented quietly.
Kurama lays her head in his lap and looks over her at her wounds.
" Those shackles must've prevented her wounds from healing, they haven't closed up yet", he informed them.
" Damn that bitch! I cam personally going to give her a lesson she won't forget. Is Kira going to be alright?", Yusuke asked with concern.
Kurama looks down at the girl in his arms and sighs.
" I honestly don't know Yusuke. Her vital signs aren't promising", he answered softly.
" Hn. She'll pull through, just like she always does. She's not some weak and pathetic like some half breeds", Hiei spoke up from the corner.
Kuwabara, Yusuke, Kurama and Kuronue all look at the fire demon in shock.
" Did the shrimp just give a compliment?", Yusuke finally asked.
Hiei answered him with a growl and continued standing in the corner with his arms crossed.
Suddenly they hear approaching footsteps.
" Come on, we need to get out of here", Kuronue told them.
Kurama picks up Kira, then the four detectives and the bat demon jurry out of the dungeon.
" I thought you would come to rescue that half breed bitch!", a feminine voice growled from in front of them.
The boys stop and look up at Angel, she was accompanied by the demon who had nearly killed Kira; Grim.
Kurama brings Kira closer to him, while he glares up at Angel his eyes tinged in a light red.
" Get out of our way, bitch!", he growled at her.
" Kurama, put me down", a voice says weakly from his arms.
" What?", he replies in shock as he sees two golden eyes look up at him.
" You need both your arms to fight. You can't fight holding me", Kira replied softly.
" Kira, your hurt we need to get you back to Spirit World so you can be taken care of", he told her quietly with concern.
Kira reaches up and gently caresses his face
" I'll be fine. You need to fight with both arms, now put me down and kick that bitch's ass!", she replied with a smirk.
" Very well", he finally gave in with a sigh, and set her down against the wall where she wouldn't get hurt.
" Kick her ass, bro", she said as her brother gave her a thumbs up.
" Don't worry my dear, once I'm through with them you're next. Grim, do your thing", Angel told the demon by her side.
" Guys, watch out for his lightning attacks!", Kira waned them, as they dodged the demons first attack.
" What the hell do you think we're doing?!", Hiei snapped.
" Stand still you vermin!", Grim sneered at them.
' Damn it, If I wasn't so weak I could help them! I can at least try", she thought to herself as she slowly stood up.
Angel looks over to there Kira is slowly standing up and smirks.
" So, the bitch thinks she can still fight. I'll take her up on her claim", she whispered to herself, as she slithered her way over to Kira.
Kira looks up to see Angel standing in front of her, a sneer plastered on her face,
" So, you've come to get you're ass kicked, Angel?", Kira taunted.
" I don't think you're in any position to kick any bodies ass, sweetheart. I'm just here to get rid of you once and for all", the cat demon smirked.
Kira pushes away from the wall and stares at the demoness in front of her,
" Go to hell!", she replied, generating a Spirit Orb and firing it at the demon, knocking her against the wall.
' Man, that took a lot more out of me then I thought', Kira thought to herself.
' Well maybe you shouldn't have done it! What were you thinking? You're still too weak!", a voice scolded her.
' Relax Kurama, I'll be fine. I'm slowly getting my strength back. And besides, you can't have all the fun!', she replied with a inward smile.
' Just be careful', he warned turning his attention back to the fight with the elemental demon.
" That half breed doesn't stand a chance against a full demon!", the demon sneered at them.
" That's what you think! My sister's a lot stronger than you give her credit for!", Yusuke yelled back as he used his Spirit Gun.
" You vermin will never win! All of you and than half breed bitch, will parish!", Grim bellowed, letting loose another electric attack hitting all four detectives and Kuronue.
" Damn, there's got to be a way to get rid of this guy!", Kuwabara said to the others as they got up from the attack.
" So you want some more! This next and final attack should get rid of you!", the demon sneered.
Kira looks over to see the elemental demon get ready to release his attack.
' I have to do something!', she thought to herself. She looks over at Angel to see the demoness still out cold.
' I have to do this, it's the only way!', the thought as she came to a conclusion.
She quickly turns her attention to the demon and concentrates on her powers.
' Kurama, when I tell you to get out of the way', she told him telepathically.
' What do you plan on doing?', he replied with suspicion..
' Turn around and you'll find out', she answered.
Kurama turns towards Kira and notices what she's about to do.
" Oh no! Hiei, Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kuronue get down!", he yelled at them just as Kira releases her attack.
" Ultimate Spirit Orb!", she yells as she lets it loose, directed right at the elemental demon.
" What the…", he started to say but couldn't finish his sentence as Kira's attack hit him dead on.
" Nooo!", he screamed as the attack all but obliterated him.
The four detectives and Kuronue look over at Kira all with shock expressions.
" What? That guys was annoying, and plus I didn't like the way he had his hands on me when he was torturing me", she replied with a shrug.
" And where exactly did he put his hands?", Kurama demanded his eyes tinged red.
" Jealous, Kurama?", Kuronue teased his friend.
Kira slowly makes her way over to the group of men and went over to Kurama.
" Don't worry about it, love. Can we please get out of this place? What does Koenma want done with miss bitch over there?", she asked glaring over at the unconscious form of the cat demoness.
Yusuke pulls out his communicator and waits for the Prince to pick up.
" What is it Yusuke? Have you found Kira?", Koenma anxiously asks him.
" Yeah we found her, we also have an unconscious demoness. What do you want done with her?", he replied.
There was a pause as Koenma decided what to do.
" Bring her here, we'll put her in lock up. We've been after her for a very long time", he finally answered.
" Sure thing, just get us a portal out of here", Yusuke replied, shutting his communicator.
Kuronue walked over the still unconscious form of Angel and hefted her over his shoulder.
" Lets get out of here", he told them, walking to the door that led outside.
Kurama looks down at Kira,
" Are you able to walk?", he asks her with concern.
" Yeah, I'll be fine. Lets get going", she told him with a smile.
Kurama grabs her hand and follows the rest of the group out the door, towards the portal to Spirit World.
