I scream as the pain rakes through my body, as the water in the tub begins to glow. Riu! I cry in my mind. Please help me! I open my eyes and look up at poor Fuka as she squeals and shrieks, accompanied by my own. I feel tears fall down my face. Another sharp series of pain shoots through my body as I shut my eyes. I gasp feeling something moving in my chest. I open my eyes to see a white sphere with a little pink flame in it floats up and out of my chest. I watch in awe as the little orb surrounding Fuka drops her onto the ground and attaches itself to the glowing pink sphere. I try my best to sit up and see if Fuka was ok but my body screams in agony the second one of my muscles even twitch. I fall back down the slush surrounding me in a horrible disgusting smell of rotting flesh and vomit.
"It's working." I hear Ken whisper. "It's working!" He screams in pure joy.
"Good job, boy!" A deep voice booms. I shiver in fear at the cruelty and malice hidden in his voice. Suddenly the tub is gone and I'm floating over to an extremely tall guy with two black fox ears and a black fluffy tail swishing back and forth behind him. I look at him my wise widen in horror at the pure evil in his eyes. He smirks at me showing his fangs.
"Well at least the bat still has good taste. I wonder if Youko's had a shot at her? Huh, little girl?" He ask grabbing my chin and turning it towards him. I pull my chin out of his grip. He gives me a pouting face.
"That's not very nice. I guess Kuronue hasn't taught you any manners. Sad, really. Oh well. I'll get what I want. That orb." He says looking up at the orb and grinning with lust in his eyes. He looks back down at me.
"Of course we'll have to remove your soul from it."
"No!" Ken growls walking towards the guy and me. I watch as he staggers towards us. Why is he- I gasp seeing the gaping wound in his stomach. Oh no. I think. The fox guy turns around with a growl of his own.
"I don't think I tolled you to get up." He says walking towards Ken and punching him sending him flying into the wall. No! I scream silently, unable to speak. Why do I care? I think. I just do. I tell myself tears running down my face as the dust clears and Ken's motionless body appears.
"There was a reason those frigid bitches threw you off that damn cliff, so just die." He yells at Ken's lifeless looking body.
"No!" I scream running over to Ken.
"How the hell did you break free?!" The fox guy yells at me. I kneel down next to Ken and look over his bloody body. Blood pores from a gaping hole in his stomach. I cover it with my hands and put pressure on it, to stop the bleeding.
"Please don't die." I whisper to him. "Please don't die!" I gasp as a glowing comes from beneath my hands. I watch as the blood vanishes slowly pulling itself back into his body. Picking up my hands I see the wound gone along with all his other wounds. Ken groans and slowly sits up rubbing the back of his head.
"What the hell just hit me?" He asks himself. I look at him fondly.
"I'm glad you're happy." I whisper. Ken gasps and turns his head to stare at me. I smile at him before falling over feeling exhausted and almost numb.
"You're bleeding!" He yells putting pressure on my wound, which I can't feel.
"SASKI!!!" A strange and oddly familiar voice yells my name before I slip into the darkness. I feel something nudge me awake. I sit up rubbing my eyes.
"Where am I?" I ask looking around.
"Mew." I look down to see Fuka nudging my hand.
"Fuka!" I scream picking her up and hugging her to my chest. She squirms trying to get out of my grip. I let her loose only to see her jump through a bush. I stand up and look around at the forest. This looks familiar. Almost like the forests in Demon World. A few seconds later I hear a rustling in the bush Fuka left through. Fuak pops her head through and calls to me.
"I'm coming." I call running over to the bush. I follow her through the thick underbrush, doing the best I can to find the little four inch tall cabbit. I slip from between two trees to see a huge camp full of demons. One of the guys look up and stare at me. I gulp. Oh crap. I slowly step backwards only to have a much younger looking bat demon walk right through me followed by a silver fox demon.
"I know you!" I yell pointing at the silver fox demon. I quickly cover my mouth. Stupid! They'll kill you! But none of the demons seemed to notice me as I follow the bat demon and the fox demon. All the demons that we came across would act all respectful and bow their heads saying 'my lords' or 'boss'. I stare at the back of the bat demon's head.
"Why does he seem familiar? I mean the fox demon I've heard of from the tree and he tried to kill me, but the bat demon. How the heck do I know you?!" I yell walking through him and glaring at him. "Why do I feel like I know you?! Darn it!!!" A giggle comes from my left. I look to my left to spot a little girl with green dressed in a black cloak carrying a scythe. I stare at her in horror.
"I'm dead!" I yell pulling my hair. "I can't be dead! I haven't kissed Riu yet!" Another giggle burst from the little girls lips.
"You're not dead. You're exploring your lover's memories." I gasp and point at her blushing.
"I don't have a lover! And even if I did Why would it be that bat demon?! I've only dreamed about him once and it was about his death!" I shriek at her. She looks at me curiously.
"You don't know?" She asks hovering in my face.
"Know what?" I ask cautiously. Not knowing something with the people I hang out with could be very dangerous sometimes.
"Well I guess we can't do this then. What on earth am I supposed to do with you for the next five minutes?!" The little girl yells floating towards the sky.
"Wait don't leave me!" I yell. Suddenly I begin to float after the girl. "Wait this isn't what I meant!" I see Fuka jump into the air and flap her ears, she begins to float towards me. I hold my arms open and she snuggles into me. I warp my arms around her fluffy little cushion of a body. I smile down at her as the forest changes to a dark black night sky.
"Where are we?" I ask the little girl next to me. She looks up at the sky and sighs.
"Bing! Sorry sweetheart, but your time is up." She smiles at me waving as she floats away. She disappears laughing at me.
"Well that was interesting." I say looking down at the sleepy looking Fuka.
"You ok there, Fuka?" She looks up at me sleepy eyes and yawns showing her sharp little teeth. "I think it's time to go to sleep." I finish the sentence with a yawn of my own. Suddenly we begin to fall.
"Who the heck turned the gravity back on?!" I yell clutching Fuka tightly to my chest. Everything goes black. I shoot up panting silently gasping. It was just a dream. I look around to see the bat demon from the dream sitting to my left covered in cuts and bruises. I crawl over to him and silently inspect him. I sigh as I find nothing to serious. I hear slide open the door to the room. I look over my shoulder to see Shuichi staring at me shocked.
"What are you doing up?! You should still be in bed. This isn't good for your wound." He scolds setting down the tray of food next to the futon I was sleeping on.
"Food!" I scream beginning to run towards it. Something grabs my elbow and spins me around, slamming me into a very hard chest. Arms wrap tightly around my before hands grabs my shoulders and shake me.
"What the hell were you thinking?! You idiot!" The bat guy yells in my face. "You're the most idiotic person I've ver met!" He finishes breathing hard. I pull my hand back, let it loose and it connects hard with the side if his face.
"How dare you?!" I scream at him. "You don't know me?! How dare you talk to me like you've known me for years! Go to hell you disgusting demon!" I watch as the demon flinches and looks at me with hurt and pain in his eyes.
"Kuronue?" I hear Shuichi call. Kuronue looks over at Shuichi. I gasp stepping back.
"Kuronue?" I ask. They both look at me shock evident on their faces. Kuronue steps forward. I see pain flash through his eyes when I step back.
"How do you know my name?" He ask his voice laced with poison. I gulp and look away.
"I don't know. I just do." I whisper fiddling with my hands. Kuronue takes a step towards me.
"It's because of the Orb." An old crackly voice says from the open door. We all turn to see a tiny old lady with faded oink hair. She looks me up and down, before walking over to a mat sitting next to the futon and sits down.
"Sit down." She says looking at me. I nod my head and sit down. She looks at me and I look at her, holding her gaze.
"I like this one." She says smiling at me.
"I'm glad Genkai." Says a voice from the door. I look over my shoulder to see a very handsome guy with a binky in his mouth and Jr. on his forehead.
"What is going on?" I ask looking back at the old lady, now known as Genkai. She sighs.
"Do you know you had a life threatening wound on your stomach." I look at her in horror. "It pierced vital organs and you probably had about five minutes to live."She looks over at Kuronue. "Terrorfied that one." I look over at Kuronue but he looks away. "I f it hadn't been for that Orb inside you, you would have died."
"What orb?" I ask.
"Yes Genkai, admittedly, I'm also quiet curious as to what the orb is?" Shuichi asks.
"The Orb has been around for centuries. It was a very powerful psychic's soul at one point. The powerful psychic's name was Ojiki, thus the name Orb of Ojiki. The master didn't want anyone other than his student to own his techniques and power, so he when he died he gave his soul to his student to watch and protect. The student attached his master's soul to his and lived with it training and fighting. Taking on his own student, he then past on the soul of him and his master. This continued for many centuries until it came to a man. His name was Jin Kazeki. He never took on a student and died with the Orb still in his body and attached to his own soul. The Orb of Ojiki disappeared for many years until it showed up inside a little girl. That little girl is you, Saski." I nod my head.
"But what does that have to do with my wound healing?" I ask looking at Genkai curiously.
"The Orb was actually killing you from the inside out. If you hadn't wanted to save that boy, then the Orb would have killed you. When you begged that boy not to die, you awakened the Orb inside your soul and it melded with your soul, completing the process need to wield the Orb. Now you have a great amount of power inside you and you have no control over it."
"That's why you're going to be trained by Genkai to control your powers." The guy with the binky says.
"I'm going to what?!" I yell surprised. Genkai smiles at me. A boy with black greased back hair walks in and grins at me evilly.
"Have fun in hell." He says leaning towards me and smiling evilly. I gulp. I think I just got screwed.
