Chapter 4: Power and Control
 
Sengoku
The group had headed to the North after hearing the rumor of jewel shards there, they stopped in a village close to where the rumors said that the shards were and the group was resting for the evening. They had a run in with Kohaku and Kagura earlier in the day and had all decided to rest up from the encounter. Kagome looked over to where Sango was sitting, she was worried about her friend - it seemed that every time they had an encounter that involved Kohaku that her sister like friend lost more hope of every freeing him from Naraku and getting him back.
She seems so lost and sad Kagome thought and sighed.
A soft, purring voice spoke quietly in Kagome's mind {Fear not my young friend}
Kagome looked around but didn't see anyone new, Great now I'm losing my mind she thought.
A soft chuckling was her answer {You haven't lost your mind I assure you Kagome, and before you ask I knew you a long time ago, before you had a physical body. Unfortunate circumstances have kept me away for a long time but we will be seeing each other soon. Also I promise that we will get Kohaku back. I must be going now, see you soon.}
Bye Kagome thought back, realizing that she forgot to get the persons name - but the voice sounded vaguely familiar. She stood up and walked over to Sango.
“Hey Sango, wanna go to the hot spring we passed earlier?” She asked
Sango looked up and nodded slightly, standing to follow Kagome outside. Shippo scampered out after them “Can I go too?” he asked giving them puppy dog eyes.
“Sure Shippo, come on.” The girls answered.
After they got to the springs and had relaxed into the water Kagome brought up the subject of Kohaku, “Sango, are you all right; you seem to be a little distressed.”
Sango looked at her friend “It's just Kohaku, I feel like I lose him a little more each time that we have an encounter with him. Like he's slipping further away from me the longer Naraku controls him.”
Kagome nodded “I know that I don't completely understand what you're going through Sango, but if you wanna talk about anything I'm here, and don't give up hope - we will free Kohaku from Naraku.”
Sango smiled at Kagome “Thanks Kags, I will keep believing. Let's head back and get some sleep we have an early start tomorrow.”
Kagome agreed and the three got out of the hot spring and headed back to the village, Shippo fell asleep on the way back being cared by Kagome. Soon everyone had settled in for the night and was starting to doze off.
 
Ningenkai (with the Yu Yu gang)
Keiko and Shizuru had met up with the boys at Genkai's temple, currently Yukina was serving some tea to everyone and they were sitting around talking.
“I wanna know more about that chick, she's can't be normal if Koenma was that scared of her.” Yusuke said.
Botan raised an eyebrow “Alecto wasn't the only one he was afraid of, there were also the siblings - they can be very scary. But Alecto herself is … temperamental at best -unpredictable at her worst, and its hard to say what she went through while in her captivity, it is possible that she would have reacted out of what she endured there as well as the things that were going on currently.”
“That doesn't really tell me anything Botan” Yusuke replied.
“Perhaps it is not Botan's place to say, after all those siblings' seemed to want us to stay out of her business.” Kurama spoke up from his spot.
Botan nodded “If you find out anything on your own or from Alecto or the siblings its fine. But I can't really tell you all anything about her or her past.”
Just then Yusuke's communicator went off; when he answered it Koenma nearly shouted “I want the team in my office NOW!!!”
Yusuke shut his communicator, nearly breaking it “Botan, you heard the toddler. Let's go.”
The detectives stood up and followed Botan through the portal, waving to the others before the portal closed.
 
Koenma's office
The detectives stepped out of the portal after Botan and into Koenma's office.
“What do ya need toddler?” Yusuke asked.
“Shut up Yusuke and listen to me, a few minutes ago we registered several huge powers and then they disappeared.”
 
Alecto's house
The occupants of the house were still napping but Alecto had unconsciously felt the power of two artifacts that she had believed lost to her years ago. Even in her sleep her soul called out for them and her power slowly started too seep out and reclaimed the items before settling back down and withdrawing back into her body. A few minutes later War started to wake up, he had felt her power but since it wasn't agitated he didn't deem it urgent. H opened his eyes and propped himself up on his elbow to look at Alecto as she continued to sleep. He raised an eyebrow when he spotted the small jewel handled dagger and necklace that wrapped around it tucked against her stomach.
“Guess she found them, huh?” he asked Kane who opened one eye to look at him before yawning and stretching. He nodded as he padded over to sit by the couch.
War brushed Alecto's hair off of her forehead and smiled as one of her ears twitched. She opened one eye then the other and raised an eyebrow at him.
“What're ya doin?” She asked sleepily, with a small smile.
“Nothing” He gestured towards the dagger and necklace “Reclaiming things in your sleep I see Lec.”
She gave him a confused look before looking where he was gesturing and smiled when she saw what was resting against her stomach.
She shrugged when she looked back up at War “Guess so.” She pushed herself up and stretched. “Hmmm, we should go see Koenma. The little kid is probably freaking out over the power I'm sure they registered in Reikai.”
She went to stand up and nearly fell over again; she huffed and crossed her arms over her chest as she realized that her wounds and blood loss had caught up with her. War stifled a chuckle as he stood and grabbed her crimson trench coat before helping her stand and slipping her coat on her, then he lifted her up bridal style. Kane ruffled his wings and walked beside War as they exited the house and made their way to the gates, once outside the gate Alecto opened a portal and attached her necklace and dagger to her waist as Kane stepped through followed by War carrying Alecto. They stepped into Koenma's office noiselessly and watched with amusement as Koenma frantically addressed his detectives.
 
Koenma's office
“I want you four to…”
A throat being cleared stopped Koenma from continuing whatever it was he was saying.
Koenma, Botan and the detectives turned to where the sound had come from. They saw the sibling known as War, a slightly familiar female being held in his arms and what appeared to be some sort of large feline creature. Alecto chuckled at their puzzled looks “You guys sure forget people quickly, I should be insulted. It hasn't been all that long since I last saw you.”
They still gave her confused looks while Koenma and Botan looked shocked to see their guests. Alecto rolled her eyes slightly as her tail twitched and one ear flicked forward.
“The names Alecto, and while I was a mess when you saw me I don't look all that dissimilar.”
“You can't be that chick we rescued, she was human.” Yusuke blurted.
Alecto glared “FIRST OF ALL MY NAME IS ALECTO! Secondly I am not and never was a human, and thirdly I assure that I am the same person you met earlier.”
Kane growled when he heard Alecto's tone of voice and it was soon joined by War's own growl. Koenma jumped up at this and Botan back away from the group” Calm down everyone, please.” Koenma said desperately.
Alecto leaned back against War relaxing slightly, at this both Kane and War quieted down, but they kept a close eye on the other people in the room.
Alecto decided that introductions would be a good thing right now “Well you know me, but this strong creature who has so kindly decided to carry me around is War and my feline friend there is called Kane.”
Kurama took her lead “My name is Suuichi Minamino, but you may call me Kurama; the one in the black is Hiei. Yusuke Urameshi is the one in the green and Kazuma Kuwabara is in the blue. I believe that you already know Botan and Koenma.”
Alecto nodded slightly “Ahh then your counter part is Youko Kurama and would I be right in guessing that you have three separate personalities.”
Kurama nodded to shock to speak as he stared at Alecto, this was making War and Kane nervous. Alecto purred softly to calm them so that there wasn't any undo violence in the next few minutes.
{How did she know about us?! And is she purring?} Youko questioned.
Kurama still looked shocked but mentally nodded to Youko; his shock caused Alecto to chuckle again “Don't be so surprised, I know a great many things. Anyway I only stopped by because I thought that you might be panicking about now Koenma. I decided that I would put your mind at ease and let you know that the power which you registered here was mine and that of two objects that belongs to me, so nothing to worry about.”
The detectives and Koenma sweat - dropped. “Well, uh, that's good to know. Thank you for letting me know Alecto.”
Alecto nodded “No problem kid.”
Yusuke blinked “Did you just call Koenma a kid?”
Alecto nodded “Sure did.”
“Why?”
“Why not?” She asked confused “To me Koenma is a kid.”
“No way can you be older than the toddler is.” Yusuke scoffed.
Alecto raised an eyebrow “What would you think that Yusuke?”
“Cause he's been around for centuries, he's made it a point to tell me that more than once.”
“That may be true, but you shouldn't really make assumptions about people that you don't know that well.”
“Why don't you tell me then?!” Yusuke yelled, getting agitated.
Alecto growled and felt her wings twitching and trying to stretch out in her annoyance. “War would you please get my coat off of me now?” She spoke quietly.
War set her on her feet and quickly removed her coat; he had felt her wings shifting under it. As soon as her coat was off her wings extended, her tail had unwound was twitching in her agitation and her ears were laid back. War remained just behind her and Kane had moved and now stood next to her - his own wings open. Everyone else was staring at the trio in shock and awe, the small female in particular. The room had gotten extremely quiet.
“Alecto, he didn't mean anything by it. He just doesn't know any better.” Botan spoke nervously.
Alecto blinked “Fine, I'll leave it be this time. I will returning home now, instead of telling you lot about anything else.” Her wings folded down against her back, Kane's wings did as well.
War wrapped her coat around her shoulders after she folded her wings against her back and lifted her up again. She snuggled against his chest and opened a portal so they could get home. Kane stepped through first; War shook his head at the detectives' actions before turning and following with Alecto. As the portal closed Yusuke looked at Koenma confused” What the hell just happened here?”
Koenma sighed as he sat back down “You managed to piss off a being far older then almost all others. I think she was going to tell us about herself when she got mad at Yusuke. She doesn't like to be questioned about her age Yusuke.”
“You couldn't mention this before?” Yusuke grumbled.
“Didn't really think about it Yusuke. I don't think that too many people have ever questioned her.”
Youko was pacing in Kurama's mind, extremely agitated because he wanted to know how she even knew who he was, let alone how she knew he was there. He also wanted to know what she was.
[Calm down Youko, I'm sure after she calms down she will be back.]
(She better or I might be tempted to attack the detective for his big mouth)
 
Alecto's house
When they arrived back outside the grounds of Alecto's house she had nearly fallen back asleep. War and Kane headed straight for her bedroom. Kane jumped up onto the large bed and settled down on one side while War laid Alecto in the middle and removed her coat, draping over a chair beside the bed before lying down on the other side of her.
Alecto opened her eyes and smiled “Who said you could stay?” she asked groggily.
War chuckled “I don't hear anyone complaining.”
Alecto laughed “No we're not, are we Kane.”
Kane purred and closed his eyes {Nope}
Alecto snuggled into the bed and closed her eyes “Night War, Night Kane.” She muttered.
{Good night Alecto, War}
War smiled as he watched them. “Goodnight you two, sleep well.”
“You too.” Alecto mumbled as she fell asleep.
Soon Kane and War had fallen asleep as well. The three peacefully resting together, all three of them happy about the company they had with them again.
