So I tried writing this again... and it-- worked? You tell me if it worked... Enjoy, after such a long wait!

Chapter 5: The only one left
 
“Tsk. All useless.” said the ass faced demon, coming back towards the now almost empty giant cell. Mizu hadn't noticed, but now that everyone but her was gone, the cell was humongous!
 
“Not necessarily.” said a low, sweet-like voice.
 
“Lord Korochi!” and the ugly faced demon instantly knelt down and bowed his head.
 
Two yellow eyes glowed in the dark corridor and penetrated the cell's obscurity, staring avidly at Mizu. “She must have it all.” he said, his eyes widening in greedy expectation.
 
Mizu could just tell he was smirking like a devil, even though she could only discern his eyes sparkling with evil intent. “Stand up Ichi, and grab me that lively one.”
 
The nymph's eyes widened and she scooted all the way back against the farthest wall, even though she knew it was totally pointless. What to do now!? There was no one to grab her!
 
~*~
“Are we gonna keep walking like that for another four hours or what?” grumbled an unhappy Yusuke, clearly impatient. They had been walking, that was it. He needed some ass kicking!
 
“No, if I'm not mistaken, we're almost there.” replied Kurama, narrowing his gaze onto the castle that appeared tiny from where they stood as of now. “Just a bit further.”
 
Hiei frowned but said nothing, making Kurama glance at him. “Something wrong Hiei?” inquired the fox.
 
The fire demon shook his head, “... No.” he replied semi hesitantly. 'Not yet anyway...' he could feel something strange was about to happen though.
 
~*~
Chained to the wall on a crucifix like fixture, Mizu glanced nervously around the dark, barely lit chamber. She didn't like this one bit, her captors had sick grins on their oh so lovely faces it made her sick to her stomach.
 
“Let's run the preliminary test to make sure she's not more useless garbage.” coolly said Korochi, leaning back against the wall comfortably.
 
Frightened, Mizu stared at him before her eyes caught sight of a giant metal ball on a metal pole. There was no plug whatsoever -that she could have sworn- but all of sudden, the metal ball turned a bright yellow and made her close her eyes even though she could still see the light through her eyelids.
 
Without knowing what that was or how the hell it heated up so much, she shrieked loudly, feeling her strength diminish rapidly. In a minute, she was helpless, completely dehydrated. “Stop.” interrupted Korochi.
 
“But--”

“It's enough.”
 
“We haven't even gone to a sixth of what we used for the others.” interjected Ichi.
 
“Use your brain idiot. The others were useless, we had to turn this on extremely high. For her, however...” smirked Korochi, “We just turned it on, and here she is, nearly dead already.” he chuckled dryly. “That's proof enough.”
 
The blast of heat emanating from the metal ball then vanished, as quickly and mysteriously as it had appeared. “Well then, make sure preparations are complete.” said Korochi as he walked out of the doors. “Tomorrow, we take over Ningenkai.” he whispered smirking before closing the door.
 
Being barely conscious -or alive for that matter- Mizu heard only the last part. In other words: bye bye Earth. Unable to open her eyes, she could only express her disgust and resentment for Korochi and his evil plan inside herself. Too bad no demon in the room had the ability to read minds, or hearts for that matter.
 
As you will have it, they left her on the crucifix like structure and simply rearranged the room around her. Mizu had no idea what they were planning to do, she just knew it would most probably be: painful, and bad news.
 
Hence, when Ichi came back into the room with weird metal handcuffs that were linked to another strange-- innovation, Mizu managed to open her blue eyes to stare at her enemy. How the heck could she get herself out of that?
 
~*~
Kurama stopped in his tracks, frowning deeply, his head tilting at the sound of the raspy wind. Kuwabara stopped abruptly, nearly walking into the red head, “What's the matter?” he blinked before shivering. Boy was that a creepy feeling.
 
“You feel it too, ne?” muttered Kurama, his frown deepening.
 
Kuwabara nodded and hugged his arms. This was a really, really bad feeling. Yusuke stopped behind both of them, wondering why the heck they stopped. “What are you two mumbling about? What's wrong?” he inquired.
 
Hiei blurred on a branch up ahead and narrowed his fiery glare as well, “It's coming.” he cryptically answered all of them.
 
~*~
Without knowing what hit her, Mizu shrieked her lungs out, her eyes closed from the insanely bright light. Why the hell was it so hot in here!? She thought her throat would rip open if she kept screaming like she did, but apparently the demons in the room were unaffected by the shrill screams.
 
Even though she couldn't see them, she sensed them in the room. Especially that one. The one close to what she assumed was the doorway. He reeked of want for power. Probably the master mind behind all this.
 
But why the hell was she thinking about that? Ah the stream of consciousness. Can't control it, but it was only about five seconds of her time, as opposed to the ten minutes she thought it was.
 
~*~
Back in the forest, Kurama and Hiei both winced, covering their ears with their hands. Taken by surprise, Kurama slumped on his knees and held his head, cringing in pain while Hiei fell off the tree, barely catching himself with one hand.
 
Yusuke looked around, alert, trying to find what was so deafening for his demon friends, yet heard nothing. There was no one around anyway. Weird. Creepy! What the hell was he supposed to do?
 
“... Do you-- hear that?” he asked Kuwabara, turning his head behind him. There was a loud rumbling, as if the entire forest shook.
 
“Is that a storm?” blinked a baffled Kuwabara.
 
“I doubt it.” skeptically replied Yusuke, frowning more.
 
What the hell could that rumbling be otherwise though? While the mermaid like shrieking continued to deafen all demons in the forest and a hundred mile radius, Kurama uncovered one ear to find something in his pocket.
 
“Yusuke!” he yelled, extending his free hand to his human friend. “Grab hold of it!”
 
Yusuke blindly obeyed, not knowing why but he trusted Kurama. So hell, if it could save his life, he'd go with it. “Kuwabara!” shouted Yusuke, turning around to his orange headed friend.
 
For some reason, the rumbling was more deafening now than before... And turning his head above his shoulder, he understood why Kurama had made this humongous plant take root in the soil.
 
That was one hell of a wave. A giant tsunami in the middle of the forest. Perfect! Can't get any worse... Or can it?
 
Kuwabara had been too slow to turn around and froze when he saw that massive amount of water heading straight for them... Or more like, the castle they were heading towards.
 
“... Holy... shit.” muttered a frozen Kuwabara, his eyes wide.

Let me say this (due to an unpleasant review, aka flame): my character's not conceited and there's a reason she's acting the way she is or why she said the things she said. It all comes in due time. I hope you liked it and I shall try to update soon!
 
satansspawnx5: Well sorry =/ but it looks to me like you don't have a choice whether to wait or not. ^^;; But please don't kill me! Or else the story will never be complete! >_> I probably elongated my life by 10 weeks right there. *cough* But I'm glad you like it! I'll try to write faster (it should come faster to me once I really get back into this story). And yes I do love my reviewers! ^-^
 
Dragon of the Darkened Flame: Well I'm glad! Phew, I was worried for a bit... >.> I noticed my chapters are kinda short, so maybe I'll make them longer... by a page? But then again, it's not quantity that matters, it's quality, right? :P
 
DamnBlackHeart: ^^ Glad you like it! It seems you're a real fan. o_o *blink* Like you read nearly every story I have. ^^;; I don't blame you if you didn't read two though, my two first ones. They suck and I will revise them once-- the ones I'm working on now are finished. Anyway! I'll try to update more often! =)
 
princess_of_sporks: You're welcome! ^.^ Let's see... any muses around here? <.< >.> Oh! ... Never mind, that was Casper. *sigh* Never leaves me alone either... ^^;; Oh and if you want to find any other sites I'm on, go check out my profile... I don't remember if I replied or not already @.@ But um, why did you post a chapter in the reviews? o.O
 
Kira Stone: Oh yay! I can describe? That's a first... @.@ I always thought my description suck really really bad... >.< So thanks for telling me they're-- good. o.o And yeah, when I'm writing these in general... I make stupid mistakes, which is why I should re-read before posting, but then I'm impatient to post and I find errors later. *sigh* But I'm glad you liked it. =)
