Chapter 8: Nightmares

 

Sayuri sat in the living room while Genkai and the boy prince Koenma explained everything to her. About her parents, about the figure in black, about her new “special abilities”. Nothing seemed to register except that her parents died trying to protect her from that man who appeared in her bedroom. One who had been tracking her down since her birth. Hiei listened to all the garbage about how she was in danger and about how the figure was trying to take her away. Still his body coursed with jealously, only now it had been mixed with rage, creating a deadly combo for the Jaganshi.

“So, shouldn't I be able to use these powers against that man?” Sayuri suggested. Koenma looked at Genkai and then back at Sayuri. It might take her years to master what ever powers she had, if she could actually access them.

“Your mother bound your powers so that you couldn't be accessed through them.” Koenma told the girl. She looked puzzled for a minute but then spoke clearly.

“But I was already found. Does that mean that they are un-bound?” Sayuri asked. Koenma looked startled, not knowing the right answer.

“Yes, I mean, well…you might be right. I don't really know. Can you try anything?” Koenma asked. Sayuri closed her eyes and tried to reach inside her:

 

A set of steps led down into a softly lit room with lots of doors. Each door had a number and along the walls there were keys with letters on them. Sayuri knew she had to match the key with the door by matching the number with the letter. She thought long and hard, going over ever option she could think of, every trick her parents taught her- but she came up empty handed. Her eyes adjusted to the dimly lit space that was lit by candles. Sayuri had an idea. She bled out all the candles and looked around the room. Door number 6 and key number B both were glowing. She grabbed the key and unlocked the door. It was bright and she felt the warmth that always swallowed her when she thought about her parents. All around the room were bottles, plugged up with liquids inside them. A picture lined the wall to her right. A man and a woman were holding two jars, each with a specific symbol. Sayuri searched and searched for the symbols on the bottles, only finding them when she looked at them without light. She uncorked the bottles and proceeded to drink them. Her hands grew really hot and she opened her eyes.

 

“Wow.” Kuwabara walked in the room to see Sayuri holding two dark orbs in her hands. Sayuri looked at both of her palms; large markings were tattooed on them. She shook her hands, afraid of what she was doing and noticed that the tattoos were gone when she wasn't accessing her powers. Hiei stared at the girl, her eyes fading back from the magenta color. She looked more dignified, holding the two spheres of darkness.

“What… what was that?!” Sayuri stammered as she looked at Koenma and Genkai. Both of them looked proud and generally satisfied that she was able to access them on her own.

“That would be your mother's side- darkness orbs. A night demon with class. See if you can try to access your father's side- your inner wind demon.” Koenma begged the girl, interested in what she could do. Sayuri held her hands out and nothing happened. She looked baffled and confused. Koenma looked disappointed.

“I guess… I guess I'm not strong enough…” Sayuri sighed and looked down at the floor. Genkai looked at the girl and looked at Koenma.

“Sayuri, use your carrier powers. Hiei, you're the volunteer. Get over there.” Hiei shot the old hag an evil glare but walked over to where Sayuri was standing now. He kept his distance but looked at her.

“Hiei, sit down.” Sayuri said sweetly, her voice echoing in Hiei's head. He began to feel light headed and his heart beat raced. His steps felt labored as he walked over to Sayuri and placed his hand on her cheek. She looked beautiful, her skin pale and soft… He could feel his mind pull back , knowing that it wasn't right, it wasn't him. But his body proceeded to move forward, to follow her where ever she went.

“Okay Sayuri, you can stop now.” Genkai watched as Hiei became the prey while Sayuri used her seduction powers. Genkai remembered reading about how the Lilith carrier is endowed with several gifts, but one of the more important ones is the ability to woo men into their clutches. Koenma gasped as Genkai looked back at Hiei and Sayuri. Hiei had pulled Sayuri close to him and was moving in to kiss her. Genkai panicked.

“SAYURI!” Genkai screamed and Sayuri awoke from her dream like state. It was a soft and smooth state to be in. One where she couldn't really do anything to prevent what was happening. She felt overwhelmed to see a red faced Hiei stomping out of the living room. Her insides felt horrible, the rage climbing back out and bashing around in her body.

“No more, Genkai. I don't want to do that again…” Sayuri felt her body react to the touch of Hiei's warm skin on her face. She ran out of the room and outside, so she could be away. Genkai watched as Koenma rolled on the floor laughing that the Jaganshi had been taken under control so quickly by a young girl. Genkai had to admit it was quite hilarious to see the ever brooding Jagan master instantly fall for the Carrier. But she didn't think about the consequences of making Sayuri use those powers. Her mind seemed to forget what she was dealing with- how days earlier she was badly beaten and abused. It would take time to harness that gift Sayuri was given.

“Practice will make perfect, and in time she will be able to use all her powers.” Koenma said between laughing.
