SailorStar9: This is Chapter 8 of this fic. (Sighs) Come on people, you guys were the ones who wanted me to update this, so have a heart and review. Remember, boys and girls, reviews are an author's subsistence.
Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny. Heck I don't even know if my pairing is original.
Chapter 8: Reunion, Kyo and Hotaru
"I sense evil spirits in the mountains and rivers around us." Sasuke stated, looking around. "I wonder if the others are on top of things."
"If not, they're already dead." Elenaithil remarked.
"Elenaithil-sama, please stop being pessimistic." Santera pleaded.
"I was being optimistic." Elenaithil corrected. "I mean, the Silver Crystal is literally screaming at me to get out of this place. Kami, I need a drink."
"Elenaithil-sama!" Santera exclaimed, scandalized.
"So this is the entrance?" Kyo noted, having arrived at the gates.
"Hey, shinobi from Tokugawa," Sasuke called out. "You still can't trust us?"
"Let's go." Kyo stated, after Mahiro stepped out of the fog.
"What's wrong, Kyo?" Sasuke inquired, the older samurai stopping in his tracks after the group was halfway up the staircase.
"Such a thick fog." Mahiro noted, the group almost to the other side.
"Yeah, and besides, this is too easy." Sasuke noted.
"There's someone there." Mahiro was on high alert.
"I knew this was a trap." Sasuke hissed.
"It's not a trap." Hotaru corrected. "I just didn't want it to be possible for anyone to interrupt the dramatic confrontation between Kyo and me."
"Hotaru, is that you?" Kyo smirked.
"I guess you remembered a little, huh?" the fire wielder mused. "Welcome home, Kyo."
SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
