Wish me luck, I am fixing to work 13 days in a row 0_0 yay!my bday is in 8 minutes! December 20th!
Silence ensued, each stood silently watching the other. The two were now far from innocents, in a large
meadow near the outskirts of the city.
"You're the reason I am like this now…LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME! TO ALL 7 OF US!" Youko
closed his eyes, laughter began to erupt from the fox. "You blame me for your actions? You're still
an ignorant selfish child." Wrath clinched his fist in anger, "If you hadn't stolen that lamp for her…none
of this would have happened. YOU'RE TO BLAME!" The fox shielded his eyes as a blinding light
surrounded Wrath. Youko had seen his transformation once before, he was one of very few who had
witnessed it and lived to tell about it. Youko tore his gaze from Wrath after feeling someone place a
hand on his shoulder. He turned, locking eyes with his old partner in crime.
Kuronue said nothing, but nodded slightly as he readied his scythes. Youko chose his weapon of
choice soon after, his infamous rose whip. The sound of a sword being unsheathed rung through
the silent night, Youko looked past Kuronue to see another had come to help him. A pair of familiar
crimson orbs locked onto Youko's golden ones." glad you could join us" Kuronue commented. Hiei said
nothing, his eyes locking onto his target. The creature before them resembled a jumbled mess of
different animal parts. The beast resembled a triceratops more than anything, with the large three
pointy horns and jagged neck frill. This beast was clearly no herbivore, but rather a blood thirsty
killer. Wrath charged forward, his target clearly being Youko. After pouring spirit energy into
his scythes Kuronue took to the skies, soon landing on the prehistoric looking beast's back.
The bat managed to inflict a deep wound on the creature's head before being flung off.
Hiei was next to attack, his sword sliced through one of the three horns that adorned Wrath's
head. The loss of the horn clearly angered Wrath even more, for he changed direction and went
after the culprit who had severed it. Hiei dodged to his left as Wrath swung his tail at him. The
barrage of attacks continued on, Youko had yet to attack. The fox was studying Wrath's moves and
looking for a weakness. An overwhelming sense of unease was taking over his body, Wrath was not
using his full power, but why? Youko snapped back to reality as Wrath took off full speed towards him,
"I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!" he bellowed. The fox jumped into the air just as Wrath's horn was fixing
to pierce through his chest. He landed on Wrath's back and took hold of one of his horns as he began his
attempt at shaking the fox off his back. "ENOUGH!" Instantly Wrath stilled, all eyes turned to focus on
the shadow of a man approaching them. "You foolish boy, I told you not to come here. "
" I will not leave until I have my revenge!" Wrath growled. The man glared at the beast before him,
"You will do no such thing boy, leave now or I will kill you" Youko jumped off Wrath's back as he
began to transform back into his human like body. "Go" Wrath lowered his head, "but…"
The mysterious man came closer, " Envy is waiting for you, there is a portal to take you back home.
I do not wish to continue this conversation. Leave now" Wrath said nothing, glancing back at
Youko with a glare he turned back around and walked off. "Who are you?" Kuronue asked as he joined
Youko's side. Hiei remained in a fighting stance, his sword ready to engage in battle.
" I am Edward Glory, it is a pleasure to meet you all." The three exchanged glances, it seemed only
Youko knew who this man was. " Pride". The man smiled politely, " I suppose that is what most demons
know me as now." Hiei sheathed his sword, " The only deadly sin who is not a cold blooded killer"
Pride stared up at the sky, enjoying the company of the stars as he spoke. " The others have all lost
their sense of humanity, if they had any to begin with. You must understand, living…if you call this
living is a heavy burden to bare." Pride tore his gaze from the stars and eyed Youko, " The women
who set this curse upon us died many years ago and yet this curse is still upon us. No one can
reverse it, no one but you." Before Youko could reply, Pride pulled out a familiar golden
lamp from his pocket, " You remember this, don't you?"
/\/\/\/\/\/\flashback/\/\/\/\/\/\
"Heres the lamp you old hag, now give me what I want" Youko demanded. An old women with pale
blue eyes studied the golden lamp outstretched in the fox's palm. It was not ordinary lamp, but
the fox didn't know that. It was tiny, golden , and filled with magic. "Let me see it" Youko did as he was
asked and began to tap his foot impatiently as the women examined it. "Do you know what this is?"
Youko crossed his arms, "No and I don't care to know" The old women stared at her reflection in the
lamp, " My children never believed me when I talked about this lamp…" Youko followed the old
women's movements as she removed the lid to the lamp, black smoke erupted out . Youko watched
in disbelief as the smoke began to take the form of a ghost, a genie to be more precise.
"Why have I been awakened from my slumber!?" boomed a loud voice. Crimson eyes shifted between
Youko and the old women. " I have a wish I would like to make" the women replied.
" I have enough magic to grant one last wish, choose your wish wisely old women"
" I wish…" The genie held his hand up, Youko went flying out the door. " No one must hear your wish"
he explained as the fox slammed into a tree outside.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Youko stared at the familiar golden depths of the lamp, " Have you not brought forth the genie that
resides inside this lamp?" Pride frowned, "I have. He refuses to grant any more wishes."
"Yes, he used up his magic to grant the old women her wish." Pride nodded, "I know this, I have
spoken with the genie. " Pride removed the lid and out poured the ominous black smoke Youko
remembered seeing all those years ago. Kuronue and Hiei moved back as the genie took form.
The genie eyed the four men around him, stopping on Youko. " Pride, have you informed him of
our agreement?" Pride shook his head no as Youko's eye narrowed, "What agreement?"
" I will reverse the old women's wish, but it will come at a price." Pride moved forward, approaching
Youko. " He has agreed to break the curse set upon us by that old women's wish, but only you
can help." " so all I must do is wish for the old women's wish to be reversed" Pride nodded as the genie
spoke up, "That is correct, but I ask for one thing in return." Youko's eyes narrowed, "and what is that?"
" I have been trapped in this lamp for far to long. I have been plagued with loneliness and have never
felt love before. What I want in return is to feel love" "How am I supposed to help you feel love?" Youko
interjected. "By giving me your love" Youko frowned, " I'm sorry I don't swing that way." Kuronue
grinned at his old friend's comment. The genie frowned, " I don't mean it like that! You are in love, I can
feel it. I want to have that feeling..if only for a second! Do you agree or not!?" Youko did not understand
what he meant by this, but he agreed any way. It was far to out of character for him to agree to
something he did not understand, but he didn't see how any harm would come to agreeing. Afterall,
this genie was fixing to leave for the spirit world, he figured all the genie wanted was to feel the love
he felt for his mother..for Cheza before he departed. "I agree". "Then your wish is granted"
A loud scream emitted from Pride, all eyes turned to see him turn into a pile of bones.
Everyone turned to look at the genie, but he was gone. " Hn! It appears he turned them back into
their human forms, which by now would be nothing but a pile of bones"
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Youko lay sprawled out on the couch lost in thought, he was worried about the agreement he had made
with the genie. All he had wanted was.."his love". Youko snapped out of his thoughts as a loud scream
came from Cheza's room. He quickly got to his feet to see what was the matter. As he entered the
doorway he saw Cheza holding on to her bed post as odd demonic looking hands coming out of the floor
pulled on her legs with all their might. Youkos eyes widened as the genie's words rang through his hand, * All I want
is your love" The genie had mislead him, he didn't want the feeling of love, he wanted his actual love!
Cheza! Cheza screamed as her grip loosed then gave way. Youko grabbed her by the arm and attempted
to free her from the creepy hands grips…but it was no use. Youko flew backwards, losing his grip on
Cheza and in a matter of seconds she vanished into the floor along with the demonic looking hands….
