The next chapter is up and ready to go! It's a short chapter because unfortunately I'm a tad bit busy as of late. Thanks again for all the reviews!
Two Years Later…Genkai's Temple…
Not much had changed. Genkai returned to her temple a few days after that day thoroughly pleased. Kurama had fixed it up completely.
Koenma was ruling well, but not well enough for Yomi. He still planned and plotted. Kurama continued to try to convince him out of it. Hiei went to Mukuro's palace on occasion to check in.
The Makai tournament was canceled due to the power shift in the Reikai. So Enki still called the shots. They had successfully avoided war for two years. Life was proving to be quite good for all of them.
Hatorra walked up the temple steps quietly heading to her room where her 5 and a half year old slept. The other kids were in bed and the guys were in the Makai for negotiations. As she walked up the steps her sensitive ears picked up a noise downstairs. She listened for a moment longer before hearing it again and heading downstairs quickly. She ran into the kitchen and flicked on the light. She smiled.
"Sorry, did I wake you?" Kat asked sheepishly.
Hatorra chuckled.
"No, what are you doing?" she asked her best friend curiously.
Kat held up her hands.
"Ice cream?" Hatorra frowned confused.
Then she read the label.
"Is that…chocolate chip cookie dough?" she questioned eyes wide.
Kat nodded trying to contain her smile. Hatorra beamed.
"When?" Hatorra whispered and hugged her tightly.
Kat squealed.
"I'm around 8 weeks. I didn't want to tell anyone until I was sure, but I guess this seals it," she laughed holding up the ice cream.
Hatorra hugged her again.
"I'm so happy for you!" she said happily.
"I can't wait to see Kurama and tell him. He's going to be thrilled," she said and Hatorra smiled at her friend's joy.
"I'm going to tell Daisuke when Kurama gets back so we can do it together," she went on.
"This is earlier than last time…maybe our future is really changing for the better," Hatorra said relieved.
Kat nodded happily.
Then Hatorra saw something in the window behind Kat. Kat furrowed her eyebrows. Hatorra sniffed.
"What is it?" Kat asked alertly.
"I don't know, the scent is unfamiliar," she said, as the door was kicked opened.
Her eyes widened and she flashed her sharp teeth at the intruder. But the demon shot something at her that hit her in the shoulder.
"Hatorra!" Kat yelled frightened.
Hatorra glanced down to see a dart sticking out of her arm. She suddenly felt drowsy. She shook it off seeing them go for Kat. She launched into one and bit down hard. The demon screamed. Another walked in. Kat froze him in place, but not before he shot her with a dart in the neck. She dropped to the floor unconscious.
"Kat!" Hatorra tried, but she was shot with another dart.
She looked to see more demons coming in.
What is going on?
She growled and attacked.
In the Makai…Hours Later…
Kurama slammed his fist onto the table.
"This is outrageous! You cannot declare war when there is absolutely no need for one!" he tried again.
Yomi sighed.
"How many times have we been through this Kurama? It's time to take what belongs to us," he said and Kurama shook his head.
"I will not help you. I will leave and if I leave so will half your army because I trained them all. You'll have no chance," he said firmly.
Yomi furrowed his eyebrows.
"I thought you might say that," he said smirking some.
Kurama frowned.
"What do you mean by that?" he asked frustrated.
Yomi smiled and stood up.
"I knew you would defect from my army. So I took out some insurance…to change your mind," he said and Kurama felt Youko trying to get out.
"What did you do?" he seethed.
"Well first I invited Yusuke, Mukuro and her right hand to this little event," he said and on cue the door opened revealing Yusuke, Mukuro and Hiei.
Kurama's eyes widened.
"What did you do?" he raged and Hiei and Yusuke looked at him perplexed.
Yomi smirked.
"This is not a peace talk," he said and Mukuro shrugged.
"I never thought it was. Now what do you want?" she snapped.
Yomi chuckled and pressed a button revealing a large screen. Mukuro frowned.
"What is this about Yomi?" she asked impatiently.
Yomi turned the screen on to reveal two rooms separated from each other. They were made of glass.
"Those are your torture chambers," Kurama said weakly.
He prayed it wasn't what he thought.
"Yes let's watch," he said almost giddily.
Two demons came onto the screen dragging sacks over their shoulders. They placed the sacks on the floor and walked off locking the glass doors behind them. Yomi frowned as the two demons appeared behind him.
"Didn't I send more of you?" he asked.
One of the demons nodded.
"Yes sir…but they were powerful. One fought the drugs. She killed many of us," he replied and Yomi cackled.
"I always underestimate her!" he said smiling.
Kurama and Hiei's hearts stopped. Kat was the first to climb out of her sack. She shook her head and then raced to the other sack only to collide with the glass wall dividing them. She smacked it.
"Turn up the sound," Yomi commanded one of his minions.
"Hatorra?" Kat called frantically.
The other sack moved slightly and Hatorra crawled out slowly. Blood stained her green nightgown and mouth. Yomi raised an eyebrow.
"How many times did you shoot her with it?" he asked and the demon bowed his head.
"She went down after the sixth one sir…and we still had to restrain her," he said shamefully.
Yomi nodded.
"Good thing we had extras," he said grinning.
"What purpose does this serve Yomi? What is this supposed to do? We're leaving to get them. This is ridiculous," Mukuro said angrily, walking to the door.
Yomi shook his head as Mukuro touched the knob and it zapped her ki. She pulled back shocked. Yusuke rolled his eyes.
"Are you fucking kidding me? Again? Who invented these ki zapping doors? Assholes should be shot!" he whined.
"They are going to start my war Mukuro," Yomi said and all eyes widened.
I hope you like it! More to come! Please remember to try to give me reviews! I love them! :D
