Chapter 1: Unexpected

“Rose whip!” Kurama shouted.

The demon dodged and slashed its claws at Yusuke, Yusuke threw a punch and managed to land it, this caused the demon to stumble back a bit.

“Take that ya demon!” Yusuke shouted.

The demon growled “My name is Angra Mainyuand I will have the power that I want, you will not take my prize from me. She is mine and I won't give her up!”

Kurama raises an eyebrow “Maybe it should be her choice whether she stays or leaves.”

Angra Mainyu scowls at the detectives “NO, She can't escape so it's not her choice - it's my choice.”

He started to chant something quietly and a plum colored glow starts around his body.

(Stop him now!) Youko shouted.

{(Why?)} Suuichi and Kurama asked in unison.

(That spell - let's just say it will not be pleasant for us.)

Kurama nods and pulls out a death tree seed, the others stop moving as the tree starts to grow. The death tree attacks Angra Mainyu, and the glow stops and the detectives hear a fading scream from him.

“Well that seemed easier than we thought it would be.” Kurama states.

Kuwabara scratches his head “Um, what was he talking about? He said she…did he mean a girl?”

“Idiot” Hiei grumbled.

Kurama raised an eyebrow “Well, whatever he meant by it the being is in that house.”

“So what are we waiting for?” Yusuke said, walking towards the house.

The others follow him and carefully walk through the house; they find a door leading to a dark basement. They walk down the stairs and see what appears to be a cage that takes up about half the basement as well as things that appear to be for torture.

“It doesn't look like there's anything in here.” Yusuke said, “Stupid toddler got the information wrong.”

Alecto heard a door open and footsteps coming down the stairs, she pressed against a wall to wait. She had been recovering from the shock that she received from her restraints when she tried to escape just a few minutes ago. She had felt a barrier fall, maybe that was why she couldn't contact the siblings all this time. She heard voices close to her cage; she didn't know them but wondered if the “toddler” was Koenma. She growled when one of them approached closer and shifted closer to the wall.

Yusuke jumped “What was that?!”

“Whatever it may be is locked in this cage.” Kurama said and pulled out a seed that grew and gave off a soft light to illuminate the area. What they saw shocked them, it appeared to be a human female, height and weight impossible to tell as she was crouched in a corner of the cage. She was covered in blood and dirt and glaring in their direction.

“Miss it's alright, we are going to get you out of here.” Kurama spoke calmly and quietly trying to calm the agitated female.

The female growled again, warning them to stay away from her

Alecto had no intention of letting these boys get near her, but a quiet voice suddenly whispered in her mind {It's alright Alie, they will release you and then you can continue with your journey.}

Alecto quieted, shocked to hear the voice {My lady, is that really you?}

{It is, we feared when we couldn't find you or contactyou. Conserve your energy and power for now, you will need it to heal later.}

{Yes My lady, I will.}

She stood and approached the bars of the cage slowly; then reached one hand out and touched the bars to find that although she received a small shock, it was greatly reduced from what she had received before. She nodded to the red-head to show him that she understood what he was saying.

Kurama raised an eyebrow at her actions but understood when he saw the small electric shock she received from touching the bars. He looked to Hiei who nodded slightly and broke the lock on the door with his sword.

Alecto stepped out of the cage and assessed each one of them, as they did the same to her. She was small, about 5'4” and couldn't weigh more then 100 to 115 pounds. She had tawny eyes and her hair appeared to be wine colored, though it was hard to tell under the dirt, grime, and blood; the same went for her skin tone.

“What is your name?” Kurama asked.

The female looked startled by the question and when she spoke her voice was quiet and raspy as is from disuse. “Alecto.” She answered simply before asking “Is it night?”

Kurama nodded “Let's go.”

Alecto swayed slightly and passed out from blood loss from her most recent torture and malnutrition. Kurama caught her while Yusuke called Botan for a portal and soon they were all stepping through to Koenma's office.

Sorry for no Kagome in this chapter, but hopefully in the next. Also more about Alecto soon. Enjoy and please review - let me know what you think.

Angra Mainyu: Means “evil spirit” in Avestan. In Persian mythology Angra Mainyu was the god of darkness, death and destruction, the enemy of Ahura Mazda.
