Guft lead the group through the trees, trying to think of something that would help them. When it finally came to him he was almost to Yusuke's old camp. Raizen was startled, He had gone ahead and found the camp. It was totally destroyed. He stared amazed as the others arrived. Amon frowned at the abandoned fires and the torn tents. Raizen felt one tear run down his face so he took off.

Krystal looked after him and said, "Poor Raizen he has lost his brothers and sisters, and now his parents." Marku walked in after them followed by Prin who was carring Jinx, Yomi, Jinuu, and Mukuro. Marku was amazed that Prin could carry them with out getting a sweat. Marku was about to ask him how he could, but he was interupted by a retreating Krystal. She was following Raizen.

Prin let the four down and tensed up. Marku looked to the forest and sure enough there were red scaled creature. They were surrowed. Yomi, Mukuro, Jinuu and Jinx all ran to Marku, who had moved by Anom. Prin shreaked and changed shape. his body tripled in size, and his eyes shrunk. His arms tightened with muscles and his teeth became sharp and deadly. Jinx yelled, "You're so dead now!!!!"

Prin turned to Anom and Marku and said, "Ran, get the little ones out of here!!!!" Anom and Marku happily complied. Anom grabbed Mukuro and Yomi. While Marku grabbed Jinx and Jinuu. They head in the direction of Krystal and Raizen. Prin attacked full force and easily killed 5 of the creatures but they just kept coming. He tired but kept fight with the hope that Jinx would servive.

Jinx held fast to a locket that Prin had given her. Inside was the key the invaders wanted. The key to the room where the Flower Maiden Of Life lived. Anom and Marku just kept running hope that they would sooner or later run into Raizen or Krystal. Marku slowed as his energy slowly died. Anom slowed as well. they both sighed and put down their burden. Anom turned to Marku and said, "I hope that Prin is ok."

Raizen walked until he found a camp site. There were still red monsters running around. Raizen called them, "aka-takai-seibutsu... red death creatures." He smiled, he was getting pretty good at Japanese now. One of the aka-takai-seibutsu spotted him and sounded the alarm. He yelled, "demon, demon, get him!!!!!" Raizen raised an eye, he had no idea what they said.

Raizen soon found out that it had something to do with him. He got ready to fight then frowned, thinking, *if these thing defeated my dad then i don't stand a chance.* He turned and ran after hearing, "leave him, and go get the others, Youkai-Huj-Ki has what we want." Raizen frowned and knew something was up when he wasn't followed.

He was just walking slowly lost in thought when something ran into him. He was knocked flat on his but and the thing that hit him was on top of him. It was a ball of pure fluff. Raizen knocked it off then yelled, "What the hell. I was walking here." The creature started to shake and said, "Itokuzu sorry Itokuzu really sorry, Itokuzu was running from horrible monsters." (note: itokuzu means fluff)

Krystal walked slowly in the direction at which Raizen left. She was still trying to figure out what she was going to say when she found him. The aka-takai-seibutsu were walking toward her. They didn't see her because she ducked behind some trees. She could hear them but their words were weird. She watched them go out of site then sighed. She heard the screams of a little monster thing.

It ran right passed her at a great speed. She could only watch as the aka-takai-seibutsu closed in on her. They quickly pounced. She was put in a cage to await trial and most likely death. She watched everyone of the creatures as they walked around her. One was carrying Prin, he was trashed and looked alive but barley. One of the aka-takai-seibutsu turned to her and handed her an apple.

Krystal said, "thanx." The other aka-takai-seibutsu glared at him but he just smiled and continued to walk. Krystal sighed knowing that Raizen would kill her as soon as he saved her. That was when it hit her, the others were with Prin! She searched around her and then her eyes came to rest on a new comer. His head was held high, and his bare chest shown to the world. His body was covered with muscles and scars.

Krystal felt her heart start to race. He looked at her and started to walk in her direction. She pushed her back up against the bars of the cage. He opened the cage and sat in it. He put his face right in hers then placed a weird device on her ear. She pulled away until he said, "That is a translative divice. you can understand me and the monsters." Krystal wanted to throw in off, but his voice sent her body into a figity state.

He seemed to notice and leaned in. Krystal froze as his lips touched her. She thought of what this guy was doing to demon world and to her parents. She felt tears running down her face. They hit the floor as crystals and he picked one up and looked at it. He smiled and said, "your a ice apparition." Krystal frowned and said, "Only a quarter." He smiled and said, "The ice maidens were all killed a while back."

Krystal wasn't surprised that they were all dead. They lived on a floating city alone and isolated. No men. He smiled at her lack of emotion. Krystal looked toward the ground and was force to look up by the man. He smiled at the hate in her eyes and said, "I'm known as Kou Makai, or Prince Hell." (me: did you know that Naraku means hell also ?) Krystal just glared at him. He asked, "And what would your name be?"

Krystal frowned knowing that if she didn't answer he would hurt her. She said, "I am known as Krystal." He smiled and said seductively, "Krystal." he pined her to the bottom of the cage and said, "your mine." Krystal struggled and said, "I'm no ones!!!" Kou Makai smiled and bit down on her neck. She screamed as the pain flowed down her shoulder to the rest of her.

Raizen looked down at the little creature and said, "You must be called Itokuzu." the little fluff ball smiled and nodded. Raizen was annoyed but happy for company. He started back toward the place where the others had camped. They weren't there. Itokuzu was nervious and said, "Itokuzu thinks the monsters were heading this way." Raizen tensed up and looked around at the battle field.

It was covered with blood. He hoped that none was from the others. Some of the aka-takai-seibutsu laid dead that the other end of the clearing. Raizen smelled the air. The only blood he smelled, was Prin's and the aka-takai-seibutsu. He sighed but he throat tightened up, Prin had most likely saved everyone. Raizen picked Itokuzu up and ran in the direction at which he left just an hour before.

Anom and Marku along with the little ones, sat against a tree stumb. The tree had eyes and watched the invaders of his roots. When the tree saw the little ones it said, " 'ello, I 'e Waizu-Ko-Ki." Anom jumbed up and said, "The tree talked." He smiled and said, " 'ell you' jum'y ain't y'u." Marku smiled and said, "His name is wise old tree, It's japanese." Jinx smiled as well and said, "I'm Jinx and that's, Anom, Marku, Mukuro, Jinuu and Yomi."

Anom looked at the old tree and said, "This world is strange." Waizu-Ko-Ki sighed and said, "Y'u gu' mu't 'e th' la't o' th' reb'ls." Jinx just smiled while Yomi, Anom, and Jinuu looked confused. Marku laughed a little, then said, "No Waizu-Ko-ki, we are not the rebels. we are children to them and we are here by accident." Anom sighed and asked the old tree, "Have you seem someone else come by here?"

The tree shuck his head. Apples rained down of the tired travelers. Jinx smiled at the tree and asked, "mr. tree, do you know where the flower maiden is?" The tree looked surprised but answered, "I do but only one with the key my enter." Jinx pulled the shiny locket out of her shirt and opened it to show the tree. He smiled at the tiny key inside. He pionted then toward a cave about a mile west.

Marku smiled and said, "good thing we didn't go Azuma." The tree smiled and said, "ye' eas' wo'ld no' 'e goo'." Anom frowned and started west. The others followed. Marku bowed to the tree and ran to catch up with them. The tree smiled and said, "I hop' y'u fin' wh't y'u're loo'ing fo'." Raizen started west because the old tree told him to. He hoped that he would run into Krystal she had been gone way to long.

Krystal stuggled under Kou Makai but was fighting a losing battle. When out of no where came a sword. It sliced the cage in half. The aka-takai-seibutsu attacked it. Kou Makai frowned and saw that it was Hiei. He had escaped a few days ago with his pregnet female. Hiei charged at Kou Makai after her took care of the aka-takai-seibutsu. Kou pulled Krystal up and used her as a shield.

Hiei had no chose but to stop. Kou smiled and said, "Your dead, just a bit closer." Hiei look confused and said, "What?" Kou smiled and Krystal realized that Hiei couldn't understand him. She yelled, "Dad don't come over here." Hiei nodded and stood right where he was. Kou throw Krystal to the ground and charged Hiei. Hiei charged back. Arnia ran to her daughter and hugged her.

Krystal hugged her mom back, but her neck was throbing. Arnia looked at her daugher's neck and frowned in horror. She asked, "Krystal who bit you!!!" Kou Abandoned his battle with Hiei and charged Arnia and Krystal. He knocked Arnia onto the floor and said, "I did." Arnia stood up angry she charged him. He sent his sword through her shoulder, but she didn't cry out in pain.

Krystal yelled stop and for some reason he complied and pulled his sword out of her shoulder. Kou turned to Krystal and streched his hand toward hers. He frowned at her hesitation and said, "come or i will kill your mother." Krystal quickly complied. Hiei wanted to kill Kou right then and there but he couldn't put Arnia and Krystal in danger. So he put his sword away and watched Kou take Krystal way.

Raizen found Hiei and Arnia later in the day. When they told him what they had found out he looked pissed and said, "I should have marked that first night. DAMNIT." Hiei didn't say anything but picked Arnia up with ease and said, "Raizen i suggest that you find the others and get them out of demon world as soon as possible, there is going to be a war soon and it seem that you kids are right in the middle."

Raizen nodded and ran down the road. Hiei watched him go and said, "he is his father's son alright." Hiei and Arnia both fell flat on the floor. A man with glowing red eyes said, "My son may have let you two go but i will not let you escape."
