Nori: I’m proud too. Shocked, but proud.
Tama: Disclaimer, please…hm…-thinks for a minute- Karasu!
Everyone in studio: Karasu!?!?!?
Karasu: Karasu?
Tama: Yes, Karasu. I can’t remember the last time you had to do a disclaimer for anyone.
Karasu: -sighs- Ok, fine. Tamarae doesn’t own YYH or any of its characters, but she does own all of her OCs and situations. –sighs again- Can I go back to bed now?
Tama: Yea, yea, fine. –mutters- Stupid, lazy…
Karasu: What?
Tama: -grins innocently- Nothing, nothing. Anyways, onto the fic!
-------------------------------------------
Ayano, Youko and Yusuke ran all throughout the dungeon, looking for Saya. The further they ran, the more frustrated they began to get.
Ayano was the first to reach the end of her path. After passing hundreds of jail cells and torture chambers, she felt sick to her stomach. Apparently, no one liked to clean up after themselves here, because most of the things she had seen were covered in blood. There were a few bodies here and there, and at the end, there was a giant pile of decomposing corpses and skeletons. It was as if they just dumped them all at one end of the fortress.
Just to be sure, Ayano quickly surveyed the pile of the dead and, much to her relief, didn’t see her friend. After a quick sigh of relief, she turned and ran to meet up with the others again.
--------------
Youko was having the same luck. He reached the end of his path, marked by a brick wall. He, too, passed several cells; all crowded with low class demons. He scanned every single cell, and couldn’t find Saya. He cursed under his breath, turned around and went back towards the stairs.
--------------
The same seemed to occur with Yusuke. As he wandered the hall, he could feel several demonic auras. It was hard to determine if there were any humans in the mix.
All he could rely on was sight. So he looked and looked, but he couldn’t seem to find her either. Just as he was about to give up and turn back (Yusuke was never one for finishing tasks…), he heard a giggle coming from ahead of him.
Yusuke knew immediately that it was her. He took off running, grinning from ear to ear.
----------------------------------
“You mean to tell me that in a past life, I, of all people, was a frickin doctor?!!?!” Saya asked, in shock. “Blood makes me dizzy!” Saya had no idea how long they’d been the dungeon together, and to be honest, she had given up hope of trying to keep track. By the looks of it, she was going to be there awhile. She wondered what Kurama, Yusuke, Ayano and all of them were doing right now. Did they even know she was gone?
She shook off that thought. It was too hard to think about. She turned her attention back to Kijirou. He smiled.
“Yea, Ror was quite the healer. She started doing that after her father was killed. They all left the palace and were left to fend for themselves. Even with the money Ryozo and I made from fighting, plus the money she made from healing and the money Di managed to steal from people, we made just enough to get by,” he replied. “It didn’t really matter, though. We were happy.” Saya looked at him with confusion.
“Who’s Ryozo?” she asked. She had learned a lot from Kijirou about the lives of Diemos and Aurora, but she had never heard of anyone named Ryozo.
“Ryozo was Diemos’ mate,” he explained. “Yea, he was quite the rebel. His family was almost as powerful as Di and Ror’s, but he was pretty much disowned when he challenged his own father to a death match.” They both laughed a bit. “He died, though. Soon after they did. I think he committed suicide, but I was never sure. He just couldn’t take being without Diemos.”
“That sucks…,” Saya replied. Kijirou nodded. ‘Jeez, life really sucks for him. Pretty much everyone he ever cared about is dead…’
“By the way, Saya,” Kijirou started. “I think there’s something you should know about…hey, do you hear that?” He looked over towards the bars. Saya listened, and she heard it, too. But before she could pinpoint the sound, someone had stopped right in front of their cell. At first, Saya was too shocked to realize who stood before her, but after the figure cried out her name in excitement, she knew immediately who it was.
“Yusuke!” she exclaimed as she raced over to the bars. She had never been so happy to see the spirit detective. “Dear Kami! What are you doing here!?!?”
He looked at her like she had grown three heads. “I always heard Makai was really pleasant this time of year so I thought I’d pay my favorite dungeon a visit.” She laughed. Yusuke began trying to unlock the cell.
“I meant, how did you find me?” she asked, grinning.
“I’ll explain later. Right now we need to work on getting you out of here,” he replied, still struggling with the lock. He was trying to use a bobby pin to pick it. Saya made a mental note of several ways to mock him about that later.
“There’s no point,” Kijirou informed them as he, too approached the bars. “These locks are too strong to break.” Yusuke jumped a bit. Apparently he hadn’t noticed another person in the jail cell.
“Who’s he?” he asked Saya, but kept his glare focused on Kijirou, as if to tell him not to fuck with him. Whoever this guy was, he didn’t like the fact that he was in there with Saya.
“That’s Kijirou,” Saya told him. When Yusuke continued his death glare, she began to get frustrated. She was glad that Yusuke felt like her older brother and that he had to protect her, but he needed to trust her right now. “Come on, Yusuke, don’t worry about him. We need to find a way to break us out of here.” Finally, he turned his attention back to the lock, occasionally looking back up at the blonde man to make sure he wasn’t trying anything.
Eventually, Yusuke gave up.
“Alright, screw this!” he exclaimed. “Saya, get back.” He pointed his finger. Saya did as she was told and motioned for Kijirou to do the same. They watched as a ball of blue light formed on the tip of his index finger.
“Spirit Gun!” he called as the light left his finger and destroyed the lock. Saya and Kijirou helped move the barred door out of the way. Saya watched Yusuke and Kijirou have another quick staring contest.
“Come on, let’s go,” he said and started to run back the way he came. Saya followed, looking back at Kijirou.
“Come on,” she said, and smiled slightly. He nodded and followed.
“Yusuke, how did you get in here?” Saya asked as they ran.
“Botan opened a portal for us. Kurama said he was almost positive you were in Makai,” Yusuke replied without looking back.
“Kurama?” she asked.
“Yea, he went to check on you after you left and saw blood and shit, so him, me, Hiei and Ayano all came here to look for you,” he explained. Saya smiled to herself. Kurama did care about her…
“Aw, great,” Yusuke muttered to himself. They skidded to a halt. Straight ahead were more of Daeva’s warriors. There had to be at least fifty of them. Yusuke groaned.
“Hey, blondie,” he called back. “Can you fight?” He wasn’t really in a hurry to befriend this guy, but he didn’t really have a choice. Saya didn’t have her powers yet. Sure, she could fight with a sword, but she didnt have one. And Yusuke didn’t really want to fight them on his own.
“Yea, I can fight,” Kijirou responded. Yusuke nodded.
“Saya, stay here,” he told her. “Let’s go!” They charged at them. Saya sighed in annoyance. She really wished her birthday would hurry up. She was sick of being useless.
She watched as Yusuke and Kijirou quickly demolished a small part of Daeva’s army. After all had dropped dead, Yusuke motioned for her to follow once again. She cringed as she stepped over body after body. Yusuke just chuckled and shook his head.
-----------------------------------------
Hiei had made quick work of his opponents. Dead bodies surrounded him. After he realized that he had finished off everyone that was going to come down those stairs, he sat down on the bottom step and began to wipe the blood off of his katana. He sighed. He had hoped for a little bit of a challenge.
The first one back was Youko. Breathing heavily from running, he didn’t need to say anything for Hiei to know he hadn’t found anything.
Ayano also came back alone. She was slightly more frustrated though.
“Damn! You didn’t find her either?” she yelled. “Ugh!” She sat down next to Hiei and buried her head in her hands. She couldn’t believe it. Where else could she possibly be?
Meanwhile, Kurama had had enough. He managed to take over his body again, getting rid of the silver fox.
‘I gave you your chance, and you did nothing. Shut up and let me handle it now,’ he told the bandit. The redhead stopped to think. ‘Alright, if she’s not with Yusuke, I don’t know where else she could possibly be. Unless she’s still in Ningenkai…’
“Guys!” Yusuke’s voice snapped him out of her thoughts. “Guys!” Ayano and Hiei stood up. They all looked to the right to the spirit detective being followed by a familiar brunette and a blonde man they had never seen before.
“SAYA!” Ayano shouted at the top of her lungs. She took off running and tackled her best friend to the ground. “Oh my god! I hate you so much right now! Never ever EVER make me think you’re dead EVER again!”
“Jesus, Ay, get off of me!” she exclaimed and pushed her BFF off. They stood and looked at each other. Saya smiled and wrapped her friend in a bear hug.
Kurama breathed a huge sigh of relief and grinned. She was safe, that’s all that mattered.
“Who’s he?” Hiei asked coldly, pointing at Kijirou. Saya pulled away and walked over to the blonde.
“His name’s Kijirou,” she said. “He’s mastered the wind element, and he knew Aurora. He could probably help me.” She waited for everyone’s response. Ayano walked over to him and studied him for a minute, circling the poor guy. She stopped in front of him and grinned one of her crazy grins.
“The name’s Ayano. Welcome to the gang!” she exclaimed and held up her hand. Everyone sweatdropped.
Suddenly, there was an explosion from upstairs, followed by screams and battle cries.
"Uh, do you think that's for us?" Yusuke asked. They all looked at each other.
"How are we getting out of here?" Saya asked.
"The same way we came in," Kurama said and took off up the stairs. Saya shrugged and did the same, the rest right on her heels.
Once they reached the top of the stairs, they were face to face with another part of Daeva's army. This time, though, there were more like three hundred of them. Saya's eyes widened.
"Uh...are you sure there's no other way out?" she asked hesitantly. They all stared at their opponants.
"Hey, Ayano, give Saya one of your katanas. You can fight with just one, right?" Kurama asked. Ayano nodded and tossed one of her swords to her friend.
"Thanks," Saya replied. Looking down at the katana, she wondered if she would be able to remember anything Kurama taught her when she needed it most. She sure hoped so.
Yusuke stepped up to the front.He turned around to look at his team. They all nodded to him.
"Alright," he said and smirked. "Let's do this."
-------------------------------------
Tama: Yay! I'm done with chapter eight!
Nori: Good job, yo.
Tama: Thanks, that only took me a day to do. I'm on a roll!
Nori: Congrats!
Tama: Yea, it was scary, though, guys. Microsoft locked all of my documents! I was this close to losing everything I had written for this chapter, which I was almost done with! But luckily, I found my way around it. Now I have to use wordpad, which is fine. Except for the fact that it doesn't have a spell check. So I apologize in advance for any spelling errors!
Nori: I'll help edit!
Everyone in studio and audience: Oh no...
Nori: -glares-
Tama: Anyways, read and review!
Nori: No flames!
Nori: Wow, I never thought you’d get this far!
Tama: Hah! Neither did I! I’m proud of myself!
Nori: I’m proud too. Shocked, but proud.
Tama: Disclaimer, please…hm…-thinks for a minute- Karasu!
