Chapter 5:

Last Time;

“WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!” Yusuke shouted causing every one to cringe from the volume.

This Time;

Kurama turned to look at Genkai after shooting Yusuke a glare.

“Yes, Genkai I must ask what was that all about?” He turned to look at Nozomi as he asked. Genkai frowned as she watched Nozomi sit slightly dazed

“Nozomi carries an almost never ending, pure untapped energy. This energy is for only her mate and the head of the household to use. She can choice one or two others to use it if there is neither of those choices. Which there is not, she had no mate and neither Sango nor Kagome have taken mates. The only head of the house is their Grandfather. How ever she must be in physical contact with anyone other then her mate to use it. Her mate will be able to pull the energy from her body at all times, thought to use a large amount it will probably be easier fir him to be in physical contact. When she stood like Yusuke was, she did it for the simple reason that it cased the energy to take a shape as the Spirit Gun. Yusuke could have manipulated it to that use himself but since he didn’t know what was going on the simple act of the positioning allowed the energy to take a shape by her guiding it. Neither Sango nor Kagome can use the energy because they both carry a similar thing. Nozomi can not use it herself either. Sango’s energy will increase her mate’s power level when they mate a good one or two levels. Kagome carries a stronger and larger amount of pure energy that her mate can ask or demand her to use in certain ways. How ever Nozomi’s is more noticeable and she can not control it in anyway. This is why we keep her bound al the time, her energy calls out to any upper level youkai.” Yusuke, Jin and Touya turned to look at Nozomi when Genkai finished. Hiei had watched her the whole time never looking away and Kurama had turned to her when he asked his question watching her too. Nozomi was looking down at the ground as she shifted on the swing she sat on in between Sango and Kagome.

“How is the power used?” Touya questioned and Sango shook her head.

“Everyone can use it differently. We call it pure because it had no set purpose as in it’s not life energy or spirit energy it can be used for anything. I can guess at the ways your bodies would allow it to be used. Yusuke can increase the power of his Spirit Gun or Spirit Wave. He could also use it like a battery by increasing his strength and stamina. Kurama would probably be able to feed off of it with out hurting Nozomi at all. The power isn’t directly connected to her life force, thought if it is drained too fast she usually is dazed and sleeps after wards. Ano, Kurama could probably increase his abilities to manipulate plants and control spirits. Hiei would be able to increase the strength of the Jagan and Dragon of Darkness, plus increase his control over them. Touya and Jin are the same as the others, increase abilities and strengths of attacks basically. It just all depends on who uses it and what thier abilities are.” As Sango finished a portal opened and Koenma came running out. He paused long enough to look everyone over.

“Is everyone okay?” He questioned, as he looked them all over a second time. When they all nodded he turned a frantic look at Nozomi.

“Was it a good idea to let Yusuke use the power you carry?” Nozomi looked his straight in the eye, causing them both to get a glazed over look on thier faces. Kagome sighed heavily.

“I wish I knew what she was saying to him. I’d like to know why she choice Yusuke instead of any of the others.” The two continued to speak telepathically for a moment more before thier faces returned to normal. Koenma glanced at Yusuke then Kagome and smiled slightly. Kagome fidgeted. Koenma looked back at the others, Jin was scratching his head with a confused look on his face. Koenma raised on eyebrow at him in acknowledgement.

“Why would it be bad to allow Yusuke to use the energy?” Koenma sighed and plopped down on a chair next to Genkai.

“It can be very addictive. Even I have used it before and been affected by it.” Koenma answered well leveling Yusuke with a dark look. After a second he shook his head and looked back at Nozomi.

“What happened and what did you fine out?” Nozomi gestured to Genkai who tossed the bundle at her. She caught it and slowly opened it. To reveal an ornate mirror similar in design to the famous Soul catching mirror. Only there was a vine design climbing around the scroll like design. The metal was a shiny black and the mirror itself was fogged over gray. Yusuke and Jin’s faces scrunched up in bewilderment.

“What the hell good is a mirror you can’t see anything in it?” Yusuke questioned but only got a dismissive wave of the hand from Kurama, who didn’t even look at him. Touya shushed him. Nozomi looked up and leaned forward, allowing Koenma to touch the side of her face tenderly. They could all feel the raise in his Spirit energy into his hand before they heard a snapping noise and the mask fell away from her face into his hand. Nozomi turned her gaze back to the mirror as a single tear fell from her right eye and rolled down her cheek on to the surface of the mirror.

The Reikai Tantei watched in fascination. The tear fell out of her eye and rolled down her cheek keeping a prefect circular shape the whole time, the tear it‘s self seemed to be made of every color or none at all depending how the light hit it and seemed to be a very thick viscous liquid. As the tear hit the mirror’s surface it kept it’s circular shape and sat for a moment before it looked to be literally and slowly absorbed into the mirror, as it spread out under the surface of the mirror, the surface cleared spreading out from the center where the tear was being absorbed.

What happened next took them all off guard, Nozomi opened her mouth and began to sing. The sound of her voice seemed to take a hold of their minds, thier emotions were swayed by what ever emotion she put into the words she was singing. Her voice was crisp and clear, yet sounded like bells. They were all sure she could move the Kamis to tears and make Angels turn green with envy. As she sang the glass fogged over black and the fog began to swirl.

Some secrets need to be kept

Some stories should never be told

Some reaseons shouldn’t be understood

They just might turn you blood cold

As the fog recceded from the mirror the scene cleared revealing a young male youkai. He sat on a carved stone throne. The back of the throne was the face of what must have once been a beautiful woman once. Now her face was twisted in a look of horror and pain that mad even the hardest hearted’s blood run cold. The male youkai had medium length golden hair that fell to his shoulders. His eyes were completely black with no color at all in them. His face was hard and square with a strong large nose and strong square jaw. His thick lips were twisted into a smirk that showed he held no sanity at all. He wore skintight tan suede pants that had bloodstains all over it and a tight matching vest that was open to reveal his well-firmed chest. The vest was barely tan anymore it was so stained with bloo.

Who needs all the answeres

Who takes all the chances?

Who said the thruth’s gonna save you?

When the truth can be dangerous

As he sat there a purple oni appered bragging a young human madian behind him by her long black hair. She was screaming and flaying around as her hair was ripping out of her scalp in chunks leaving bloody spots. Tears running down her face, the oni stopped a few feet in front of the throne. He picked the woman up by her hair and threw her at the feet of the Youkai on the throne.

(There was no sound but the way she impacted the ground they could tell she had broken ribs.)

Like the way I feel

It’s all right to steal

What I need from you

Do what I have to do

Say what I have to say

Go where I have to go

And that’s dangerous

Dangerous to know

(They all cringed as they saw the twisted smile on his face.)

He licked his lips and leaned forward towards the frightened girl at his feet.

(Nozomi’s eye blazed red as she waved her hand over the glass, the scene changed under her hand.)

I was a law onto myself

When you found me out on my own

Together nothing was scared

Together we where alone

The next scene was of six youkai, One an Ice master, One an Earth Master, Two were Eagles, Two were Tigers, and Four were Panthers. They were all sitting around a table drinking liquor, in what looked like a tent. A small cage stood in the corner too dark to see into. A petite hand and lower arm hung out of the bars limply on the floor a thin trail of blood ran down the arm and pooled at the tip of the fingers on the floor.

(Nozomi once again waved her hands over the mirror and it began to change scenes.)

Who needs all the questions?

Who lost their direction?

Who said a lie’s gonna break you?

When a lie could be dangerous

The scene moved to out side the tent an amazing amount of lesser youkai and a good amount of higher youkai mainly panther youkai stood in ranks. The tents went on as far as the mirror would show.

(Again Nozomi changed the scene with a wave of the hand)

Like the way I feel

It’s all right to steal

What I need from you

Do what I have to do

Say what I have to say

Go where I have to go

And that’s dangerous

Dangerous to know

The next scene was of a dark room the only light was a small lantern hanging over the table. On the table lay War maps and War Strategies. There were three maps one of the Ningenkai, one of the Reikai, and one of the Makai. What could been seen of the strategies was that they would attack Ningenkai first. If Makai forces intercepted them then their army would split when the Makai forces were distracted. Leaving the half that breaks off to attack the Makai royals. They planned to send their best forces to take the triplets and remove Yusuke’s Reikai Tantei from being a threat. Maps covered the rest. A woman walked into the tent. Her hair fell down to her ankles, it looked to have once been a brilliant gold but now was stained with blood red. Her skin was so pale the viens showed threw it. Her eyes were sickly white with no color and her lips a blood red. Her nails were long and stained with blood, she wore a very revealing dress. The neckline lay so low that all but the nipples of her breast showed, her skirt was barely long enough to cover her lower reigns. The sleeves were long and billowed out at the wrists but had a slit all the way from the wrists to the shoulders that looked like skin hanging here and there around her waist. The whole dress looked like it had been soaked in blood. She looked around as if she could feel some one watching her.

(Nozomi waved her hand over the mirror changing the scene again)

Ignorance is bliss

You’re safe when you resist

There’s no safety in a kiss like this

It’s dangerous

So kiss me

Kiss me

(This time the whole scene was red as thought the mirror was coated in something red. It became apparent quickly why. The scene that lay before them even made Hiei gag.)

There were viscously mutilated bodies worse then ever seen before in all of Makai, lying every were on the field. Rivers of blood flowed seeking a place to soak into the ground but the ground was all ready too saturated with blood to take anymore. Heads had been torn off of bodies with out a sharp instrument cutting them off. Eyes had been gouged out with dull objects, ears and noses torn off, mouth slit open ear to ear, limbs ripped off like the heads, organs ripped out of bodies still beating. In the distance the out like of a tall, muscular figure with long golden hair stood on a hill. He waved his hands in the air causing symbols to appear before the blood energy flowed to him. As he absorbed the energy he seemed to grow in size almost doubling.

Like the way I feel

It’s all right to steal

What I need form you

Do what I have to do

Say what I have to say

Go where I have to go

And that’s dangerous

Dangerous to know

(Nozomi changed the scene one last time)

With the same amle figure only he held a young woman in a deep hooded black cloak in his hand by her neck. The hood was pulled up over her face so it wasn’t visible. Her eyes glowed a bright purple as he waved his hands in the air, causing symbols to appear and then the blood energy to flow to him. Like in the last scene. AS he bared his fangs and leaned toward the young ladies throat, she pulled something out of her cloak. There was a bright white light then the mirror went black.

Like the way I feel

It’s all right to steal

What I need from you

Do what I have to do

Say what I have to say

Go where I have to go

And that’s dangerous to know

Dangerous to know

One last tear fell from Nozomi’s eye and hit the mirror. As it seeped in just like the last time it left the mirror the same gray-fogged color as when they started.
