Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Thief of Hearts ❯ Femmine Power ( Chapter 7 )

Thief of Hearts 7:
Feminine Power
Author's Notes: I am taking a break from writing about my favorite couple Hiei and Panthera; instead I am going to write a story centered around Kurama and Botan. Actually this is Yoko Kurama and Botan, before she was a Ferry Girl, and the romance they shared years ago. Kurone and Yomi will be this story but will not play an important role. Anyways this story will also eventually include important facts about future stories I plan to write and will explain how Yomi ended up with the scriptures of the prophecy.
_____________________________________________________________< br> Botan continued to run toward Kurama her eyes began to get a misty look about them. Power flared from the very core of her and she drew her hands together and summoned them in between her palms.

"Great spirits," she shouted.

"Botan get back!" shouted Kurama.

"I summon thee," continued Botan. "To aid me now and protect the lives and souls of the living. Come forth from thy land of rest and fulfill thy blood oath! Come out RYUJIN!"

Kurama and the hyena turned to look at Botan as she released the power and a long, muscled arm slide forth from the dark hole Botan had summoned. The arm had scales all over it and it was soon joined by another arm then a head emerged until the entire body of the Ryujin had come out from the hole and stared down at the hyena.

"You have trespassed on the souls of the living for that you will be punished," said the Ryujin.

The hyena stared up at the Ryujin and smirked dangerously.

"You don't have enough power to destroy me."

"Foolish mortal," smirked Ryujin. "I will destroy you!"

Then before anyone knew what was happening the Ryujin attacked he had swiftly knocked Kurama from the grasp of the hyena and now had the latter trapped underneath his claws. The Ryujin smirked and began to tighten his hold on the hyena until the demon could no longer breathe in any air.

"This is your punishment," smiled the Ryujin before crushing the body of the demon in his grasp, when that was over he turned back to Botan who had rushed toward Kurama. "My job is over now lady, call me once more when you are in need of me."

"I will Great Ryujin and I thank you for your help."

The Ryujin nodded at the girl before disappearing into the morning breeze going back to where he came. Botan turned her attention back to Kurama and brushed his bangs from his eyes.

"Well now Thief Lord it would seem that you have opened your wounds once more whatever shall I do with you?" she asked amused.

She closed her eyes and concentrated a small amount of energy into her hands and blasted it up into the air hoping to catch the attention of the others.
_____________________________________________________________ Kurone took a brief break near a creak and looked around sniffing the air hoping that he would catch their scent on the air. They had been looking for what seemed like forever and he still had not managed to find them. He ran his hands through his hair and let out a muffled curse the men he was leading were assembled in various parts around the stream looking for any sign of their leader and his future mate. They were starting to get a little worried about them, Kurone could smell it on them. He scowled briefly surprised that they would be so worried Kurama was fully capable of taking care of himself and his little mate that much was certain.

"Lord Kurone," said Karia walking up to him. "What should we do now? We have searched the entire territory and have seen no sign of them.

"Well then," said Kurone. "I guess the only thing left to do now is to move outside the territory and look for them then isn't it?"

"Of course Lord Kurone," said Karia nodding. "However, there is one thing that is bothering us."

"And what is that?!"

"What if they somehow ended up in the territory of Torko?"

At the mention of the leader of their rival thieves, Kurone's blood ran cold he suppressed the shiver that ran down his spine. His eyes darkened surely Torko and his men wouldn't dare try to do kidnap Kurama. Would they? No, they wouldn't possibly be that stupid. They were smarter then they looked most of the time.

"That isn't possible," said Kurone. "Torko wouldn't be smart enough to do such a thing and ever if he was smart enough. He wouldn't have the balls or be stupid enough to try to kidnap Kurama."

"What if Kurama is wounded and the woman is left with him with no one to defend her?"

Kurone's blood ran colder then ice at that thought. Botan was a very beautiful woman that much was clear and if Torko got his hands on her. Kurone allowed that thought to clear from his mind he didn't want to think of the possibilities of that happening. He knew what would happen if Torko caught her and Kurama couldn't defend her it was even more important that they find them.

"Everyone spread out and search the entire area in our territory and outside our territory!" shouted Kurone. "Inu!"

"Hai Lord Kurone," said the boy rushing up to him.

"You are the fastest runner on your feet," said Kurone. "Rush back to the cave and tell Vano what is going on. Tell her to send Parn out to our allies and ask for their help in looking for our leaders."

"Hai," said the boy before rushing off into the forest.

Kurone watched the rush off and smirked he would get the message that was for sure. Kurone turned back to his men and smiled.

"Alright," said Kurone. "Everyone hurry up and find them we don't have time to waste!"

"Hai!"

Then the men hurried off to finding Kurama and Botan praying they would find them before Torko did.

Botan's father stared down at the report that was on his desk. Botan was his only daughter and he had already lost his only son years ago to a demon. He would be damned if he let the same thing happen to Botan. He sighed and closed the folder they still hadn't found his daughter and had no clue as to where she was. His men would normally be able to find her in less then a day but they hadn't.

"Damn you Kurama," hissed Lord Taiten. "Damn you for taking my daughter away from me."

"Excuse me Lord," said Prince Reiyuki walking into the room.

"Prince Reiyuki what can I do for you?" asked Taiten looking up.

"I am here to offer my assistance in looking for the woman I am destined to marry."

"Your assistance would be appreciated," said Taiten.

"I know, besides it would show Botan that I really am the right man for her."

"Indeed it would," said Taiten. "I am happy with your willingness to help us search for my daughter."

"Of course," said Reiyuki before leaving the room.

"Botan," said Taiten to himself. "You will feel much better and more relaxed once you are back home and married."
