*Flickering Flame*

By: Kage Otome

Chapter 4: Tricked

Sesshoumaru was the first to arrive. He was her most trusted friend. Silver hair fell to his thighs, gleaming a soft silvery-blue. Golden eyes cold as her own softened. Kagome’s own glacier-like eyes softened if only for a second seeing him. Walking up to her, he laid a gentle kiss upon her brow, she followed through with a kiss on his cheek.

Kuronue was the next to arrive. The handsome bat-demon who was the previous partner to Youko Kurama. Sesshoumaru and Kagome had found him, almost dead while patrolling their lands over a year ago. Deciding to save him, had been perhaps one of their better ideas. He’d proved to be a great asset to their team. Not to mention, he was extremely gifted in the art of thievery. And it helped his case he was both attractive and a fighter.

The Taguro brothers. Kagome had much amusement at their reaction from being brought back from the dead. She had connections in Hell. Literally. Lucifer, was more than happy to grant her wish to have the two brought back to life. Kagome had missed them dearly.

Juuromaru, was perhaps the fastest of the group. Lilac hair fell to his waist and blue eyes stayed devoid of any emotion. He was known not only for his speed and exceptional looks but his infamous attack. Shikyo no Kuchidzuke(kissu). Kiss of Death. Literally. His lips of blue were able to release enough poison to immobilize a person, eventually killing them.

Naraku, ever the manipulative hanyou. His favorite past time was killing and wreaking havoc. Especially on humans, he didn’t care for them or their weakness. Ningens were just another annoyance to him. A useless annoyance.

Hiten, one of the Thunder Brothers, but the only living one. A womanizer that one, with his dark crimson eyes and long dark hair he was appealing to a woman's eyes. What attracted Kagome to him was his reputation for death, and perhaps, a little part of her was curious as to what made him tick. He for some reason caught her eye.

The only human on the team was Bankotsu. Fortunately for him, the rest of the Hakai accepted him with little to no problem. Banryuu was his choice weapon. His life span however was that of a youkai’s due to his bond with Kagome. Kagome who had claimed him as her own. Not her mate, just hers. She couldn’t bear to be apart from him, after all they were wee tot’s together. Although the claiming was done decades ago.

Kashaku, one of the generals in the Western Army. It’s really funny how things turn out. Kagome and Kashaku never got along as pups always making trouble to each other, pulling pranks, name calling etc. Now they were companions, allies, even friends.

Shizen on the other hand was Kashaku’s polar opposite, gentle, funny and yes kind to a degree. The only thing that caught Kagome’s eye was his cunning eyes, he had an affliction for pulling pranks, trickery. He was a great thief and one of the only people who could calm her down. Kagome’s rage was always lethal. Without either Sesshoumaru, Shizen or Bankotsu, well...things got really ugly, real fast.

The last to arrive was Inuyasha. The only reason he hung around with them was because, he liked to fight. His strength was welcome in the group, however, more often than not his mouth got him into trouble with someone in the group, forcing them to silence Inuyasha. By knocking him out.

Oh, and how could we forget, Kagome’s kits Shippo and Satori, even though they weren’t actually part of the Hakai, they sometimes went along so minus the two there were twelve, add the two and there were fourteen.

Together the fourteen of them made up the most feared group in all of Makai and Reikai. The Hakai.

Breachi ng the barrier was almost pathetically easy. Kagome was the last to go through, seeing as it was she who was holding the portal open. As soon as everyone was through the portal closed as if it’d never been there. Walking out of the deserted park, people paused and stared. They whispered amongst themselves of the group of hoodlums. How they meant no good. She smirked.

They had no idea.

------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------

We arrived at the deserted warehouse, in which lies the Kurai Katana (or so Naraku says). A few foolish demons were guarding the entrance. Kuronue and Shizen took them out easily, silently so as not to alert anyone else. I count 800 demons, maybe more ‘guarding’ the sword.

It was beautiful.

It radiated all things dark and evil.

It would be mine.

“Have fun boys.”

The fight was on.

-------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------

Koenma had called in his reikai tantei earlier, regarding an ‘important matter’ he said. Gathered in his office was Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama, Kuwabara, Touya and Jin. When they arrived, Koenma explained about a group of demons that attempted to steal the Kurai Katana a few days ago. Then he explained of his plans to lure them into a trap, trick them into believing the sword at the warehouse was the real Kurai Katana. It wasn’t. Spirit forces would then detain the group and they would be punished.

The screen flickered to life.

What they saw made even the emotionless Hiei’s eyes widen. A group of fourteen demons, hanyous and a human were fighting 800 or so demons. Even the two kits. They watched as a silver haired, golden eyed youkai’s poison ate through a demons body. Another dark haired, blue eyed bat demon hacked away at another three with his scythe. Two very familiar figures, the Taguro brothers were taking on about 20 demons, not even breaking sweat. A lilac haired male sped around all the other demons ripping them to shreds before they could pose a threat to his team mates. A spider hanyou with dark hair and crimson eyes licked his bloody hands, laughing maniacally before ripping into another female demon with bloodlust in his eyes.

A youkai with similar features to the spider hanyou was shooting thunder with his pike. A seemingly human was slashing his way through the numbers with a large sword. A silver haired-golden eyed hanyou with an equally big sword was hacking away with little to no finesse. A male Inu-youkai with silver hair streaked crimson and light red eyes was decapitating and ripping demons apart with deadly talons. A kitsune with gold hair and green eyes was whipping them. With a thin poison covered whip, made from dragon scales. Very sharp.

But what caught their attention was the smallest figure. Long blue-black locks flowed down their back to mid-thigh, in a braid, blue-violet eyes tinted red and a mask on the lower half of their face. Their gender was anyone’s guess, a trench coat stopped their view. The other’s however were clearly of male gender, so they could only guess, this little one was also male. Even the kits were male. This youkai however used powers similar to both Jin and Touya. This youkai fought viciously, trying to get to the two kits, who seemed to be fine, even amused by the demons trying to get to them.

Koenma suddenly paled with realization of just who he lured into his ‘brilliant’ trap. The Hakai, the katana was really with him, so...he paled yet again, his skin turning into a pale, chalky color. They were going to come after him next! And...he winced this time. They’d be very angry. After all it was he who tricked them. And he who would no doubt pay. Maybe...he could hide?

Turning back to the screen he literally saw red. Beautiful claret eyes, that weren’t supposed to be claret. Then the screen turned black. That could only mean one thing, they destroyed his little spy cam. And they could trace the spy cam back to him.

‘Kami-sama, Save me.’
