Chapter 11: Plan

 

 

A portal opened in the forest of Genkai's temple, revealing a young looking man and a girl with long blond hair. Both of them looked at each other softly and scanned the temple and its surroundings. The forests shaded them well, and they stood just beyond any youkai's ability to sense energy.

 

“These demon warnings won't help…” The young man said to the girl, who clung to his arm tightly. She was shorter than him and wore a flowing lilac dress. He looked down at her gentle face, with her bangs in her eyes. She gazed at him with priceless brown eyes.

 

“Should I go get them, honey?” She asked in a little girl voice. The young man thought about it for a minute but decided against it. He shook his head and brushed her bangs slightly. There wasn't a chance he was going to risk her safety. Quickly he pulled her in front of him and kneeled down to match her height, even though she was slightly taller at that point.

 

“I couldn't let anything happen to you Gwen. You know that. If they were to suspect what we were up to, they would kill you on the spot; even if you are only human…” The young man said to his loving companion. At the mention of her mortality, Gwen recoiled from the young man's grip.

 

“Yasashiku, you know that I didn't choose my life. I can't help if I'm a human, just like you can't help being who you are; like you couldn't help falling in love with me…” Gwen felt Yasashiku's hand on her arm. She turned around to face him.

 

“Yes, that is true. I'm sorry. But we have to get the girl and return to Master before he gets angry. Stay here, Gwen. Please.” Yasashiku begged. Gwen pouted but nodded. Yasashiku stood up and kissed the girl's forehead. He felt the wind gathering around him and decided that he wouldn't have long before The One would sense him. He stepped towards the temple, and there was an explosion of energy in the air.

“AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!” Yoko screamed from inside the room. Kurama ran down the hall and dropped the tray of food he had been carrying for her. When he reached the room, Yoko was stumbling out of bed, holding her head and doubled over. He reached her side when Takara entered the room with Hiei close behind. Kurama placed his hand on her head and he could feel her burning up. Her eyes were wide open and glowing bright blue. The blue aura enveloped her and she stopped screaming. When the aura faded, Yoko was in her demon form, ready to fight.

 

“Yoko! What is going on?!” Kurama asked the water demon. She looked around the room and then settled on Takara.

 

“He's here, Takara. He's here.” Yoko said quickly. Takara's dog ears popped out and Hiei stepped to the side, knowing exactly what was going on. Takara nodded and the two of them ran out of the temple, a silver mist following Takara and slowly changing her into her demon form. Kurama and Hiei followed close behind, not sure who was finally at the temple.

Yoko and Takara rushed out the back door and stopped when they could clearly see their target ahead. He was sleek, tall, and had a gorgeous look to him. His hair was a rich brown with wild blond high lights. He wore giant armor pads on his shoulders. Yoko could clearly remember the deep green eyes that were set deep into his face. Takara twitched her demon tail as she pulled an arrow from her case and set it in her bow. The two of them stared back at Yasashiku, waiting to see who would make the first move.

 

“What the fuck is going on!? You start the party with out us?!” Yusuke yelled as he and the rest of the Tantei came running out of the house, ready to fight. The four boys situated themselves in front of the girls. Takara put down her bow when she saw Hiei draw his Katana.

 

“Why are you interfering!?” Takara growled. She wasn't about to let her pride get hurt. Hiei didn't answer; he just waited for the call.

 

“Step out of the way weaklings; I'm here for the princess.” Yasashiku said. No one looked surprised at the mention of princesses.

 

`Everyone knows??' Yoko yelled.

 

“You gotta get through us first you scum bag!” Yusuke yelled. Kurama's hand behind his back was growing a rose, preparing for an attack. Yoko stared at that hand, and she hated it for the power it held over her. Yasashiku laughed and moved his hands in circles, drawing the wind in and making razor edged rings.

 

“Oh no! You'll have to get through my Wind Blades before you can say that AGAIN!” Yasashiku laughed and threw the Wind Blades. Kuwabara was the first to move; his Spirit Sword was out and ready. He was light on his foot and quickly chopped down two of the three rings. The third ring boomeranged and sliced right into his leg as he hit the ground. Kuwabara grabbed his leg and screamed. Yoko darted out towards him as Yusuke and Hiei went after Yasashiku.

 

“Stop it! This is MY fight!” Yoko screamed. Her hands were glowing blue as everyone looked at her.

 

`This is my fight. No one is dying for me today. I'll paralyze them if I have to…'

 

“Ouch!” Kuwabara grabbed his leg as blood flowed over his fingers and onto the ground. Takara jumped in front of Yoko and drew her arrows. She fired a few at the next set of Wind Blades that Yasashiku launched. Hiei and Yusuke ignored the plea to stop. Kurama was calculating his attacks in between Hiei's and Yusuke's. No paid attention to Yoko's warnings, including herself.

 

“Kuwabara, hold still.” Yoko demanded. She kneeled down and looked at the gash in the leg. Her hands fell over his leg and they glowed for a moment, patching together the gashes and fixing the skin without a trace of damage. Kuwabara looked at Yoko when she finished and saw the fatigue it had caused her.

 

“Thanks.” Kuwabara said. Yoko shook her head.

 

“I'm sorry you were hurt. I've got to fight now, stay out of my way.” Yoko warned. He gulped and backed away. She got up and wobbled slightly. Takara went to steady her, but Yoko glared. She fixed herself into a fighting position as Yusuke and Kurama flew down into the ground by where Hiei was already sitting with a gash over his shoulder.

 

“Nice show princess, but we have to leave. You might as well hurry this up or your friends will die!” Yasashiku laughed. He multiplied his rings this time, totaling twelve, and shot them all towards everyone except Yoko. Her eyes went wide. Yasashiku smiled mischievously, as if to say, `Who will you save Princess, and who will you let die?' Yoko knew she had no choice; she would have to unleash some of The One.

 

“ENOUGH!” Yoko screamed as she threw her hands out. Each ring froze and exploded in its place. The blue explosions on each grew bigger and a blue explosion of light came from Yoko's own body. Everyone braced for impact and shielded their eyes. Yasashiku stopped his laughing. He knew there was no saving himself now that he had woken her.

 

“YOKO!?!” Takara screamed in the clearing mist. She couldn't see anything as she got on her knees, trying to find her fighting partner.

 

`I've seen this attack before….' Takara shook uncontrollably. If what was happening was similar to the last time she had seen this attack; she knew her life was in danger. A hand grabbed hers and pulled her close. She tried to fight it, but a pair of red eyes met hers and she grabbed hold of the body before her. Hiei held her close as he undid the bandana on his Jagan and freed it. He could sense everyone; alive. But something was seriously wrong with Yoko. The mist finally cleared out and the two of them could see a swirling vortex of energy surrounding Yoko. Her body was hunched over and she was covering her ears and screaming.

 

“What the HELL is going on?!” Yusuke asked as he found the fire demon and the dog demon. Both of them looked worried. Kurama watched as Yoko battled the vortex.

 

“No… please no!” Yoko's soft voice cried out for help.

“HAHAHA!” Another voice cried from within her. Kurama's heart went cold when he heard the other voice escape from Yoko's lips. Quickly he got to his feet and ran towards her.

 

“Yoko!” He yelled. Takara quickly grabbed her bow and shot an arrow at the kitsune.

 

“Stay away from her! She is a different person!!” Takara yelled at the fox. Kurama dodged the arrow and stopped.

 

“I don't want to….!!” Yoko fell to the ground and screamed. Kurama felt the energy grow and saw that Yoko was shaking.

 

`What is going on?!' Kurama asked Hiei.

 

`Something is wrong.'

 

`Ask your girlfriend!' Kurama yelled at his fighting partner, whose companion was perfectly unharmed.

 

`Hnn.'

 

“What is going on with her?” Hiei asked Takara, who had a look of terror in her eyes. He had never seen the stubborn and strong dog demon to look so afraid of her own fighting partner.

 

“She's breaking through…” Takara whispered to herself. Hiei barely caught it before he saw Yoko stand up. Her body was longer, each of her limbs was leaner and stronger. His Jagan was working on overload.

 

“Her hair…” Yusuke pointed out. The strange new Yoko had long, bushy, and wavy hair that passed her waist.

 

“Yoko, come back!” Takara shouted, afraid that perhaps it was too late. The new Yoko looked over at Takara.

 

“No.” Takara gasped. Yoko's eyes were a menacing, churning ocean blue. They had evil in them, and Takara could see that they were out for blood. Takara searched her friend's face for the markings, but she found none. Her body relaxed slightly, knowing that Yoko wasn't completely gone.

 

“Come on Princess… I'll let them live if you just come with me… He's waiting!” Yasashiku said as he walked forward. Yoko disappeared and then reappeared before Yasashiku, clasping her hand around the young man's throat.

 

“How many times do I have to tell you all…?? I'm not going back to claim the throne! Do I have to spell it in your BLOOD!?” Yoko smirked as she closed her hands tighter on the man's throat. Yasashiku's eyes never wavered.

 

“Con…vince….me…” He choked out. Yoko's eyes flickered and she dropped Yasashiku. The vortex surrounded her and she screamed again. Yasashiku grabbed Yoko and she fought against him. Kurama and Yusuke rushed in to help. Takara grunted as she tried to rise to her feet, she looked down and noticed that one of the wind blades had exploded onto her leg. It was bleeding and it finally started to hurt.

 

“Don't.” Hiei growled. He wasn't going to let Takara sacrifice herself to a cause that others would fight for her. She looked up at him and nodded, understanding that he would help Yoko as much as he could.

 

“Don't you dare touch her!” Kurama threatened Yasashiku. He sent his rose whip flying at the demon. Yasashiku laughed and grabbed Yoko. She struggled to fight him without the whirling vortex and without her strange power up. He smirked and snapped the Rose Whip with his Wind Blade Dagger. Kurama growled. Yoko felt her hair recede, and although she was in a very problematic situation, she was happy to be released from that hell.

 

“How about this?!” Yasashiku laughed as he pulled Yoko to his lips and kissed the water demon roughly. Kurama felt a familiar ache to kill build up in him. Yusuke could sense Kurama's energy change to a familiar and deadly youkai.

 

“SPIRIT GUN!” Yusuke yelled as his energy shot Yasashiku and knocked him away from Yoko, who pulled herself away. It was a risky choice, but he wasn't about to let anyone die in Genkai's back yard. Yoko took a second to spit on the ground a couple times. Kurama noticed that she looked like she was going to be sick.

 

“How about this to convince you!!!” Yoko yelled as she produced little spheres that looked like giant water droplets. They surrounded the already wounded Yasashiku. He backed into one, setting it off. The droplet exploded like a bomb, hitting Yasashiku square in the back. The demon kept stepping into them, until one hit his head. He fell to the ground. Once he was down, Kurama ran to Yoko, who was clutching her chest.

 

“Gwen…” The fallen warrior mumbled. Yoko looked at the demon and noticed that there was movement in the bushes. Suddenly, a little blond hair girl popped out and came running over to Yasashiku.

 

“Yasashiku!!” She screamed and ran by her companion's side. She lifted his bleeding head into her lap.

 

“Oh god. OH GOD! Please don't DIE!” Gwen cried. She looked up at Yoko, who returned the gaze. “PLEASE HELP! He was only following Raidon's orders! Raidon told him we could be happy in the Makai together if only he brought you back! He just wanted me to be happy! PLEASE HELP!” Gwen continued to cry, rocking back and forth as Yasashiku bled out. Yoko walked over to the human and stood over the dying youkai.

 

“Alright. I'll help.” Yoko agreed. Takara growled.

 

“He just tried to KILL YOU!!! How can you agree to HELP SAVE HIS LIFE!?” Takara yelled at her partner. Yoko didn't look back at her friend. She kneeled down in front of Gwen and tapped the girl on the forehead. Gwen's head fell forward and she went limp; like she was asleep. The blood stopped flowing from Yasashiku, and Kurama could see that he was healing. Yoko watched as both of them opened their eyes at the same time.

 

“Yoko…?” Yasashiku said. His voice was softer, gentler. Gwen hugged him carefully, happy that he was alive.

 

“So your companion tells me that you've fallen under Raidon's spell. You should thank her for saving your life.” Yoko said slowly. Yasashiku looked at Gwen and kissed her forehead. Gwen threw herself in Yasashiku's arms and held him tight.

 

“Yes. I'm sorry. I didn't want to give up on my dream of living with Gwen, but I didn't want to put you through more hell. I'm sorry I was weak.” Yasashiku looked down at the bloody grass. “Thank you for fixing me.” He whispered. Yoko turned around and walked back towards her friends.

 

“Go home. Stay away from that bastard. He'll never make your wish come true.” Yoko said coldly. Yasashiku and Gwen nodded and rose to their feet. Slowly they got into a Makai portal, and Gwen breathed in the air and smiled. Takara softened her expression as Yoko walked towards her.

 

`Why does she always give happy endings away?' Takara wondered.

 

Kurama walked up to Yoko and took her in his arms. She sighed and felt the comfort of Kurama's beating heart. Takara looked at her leg and noticed that it was slowly but surely healing. Hiei helped her stand up and checked her to make sure she was alright.

 

“So, your highness, should we bow at your feet for saving us” Yusuke teased. Yoko rolled her eyes and blushed. Takara laughed at her partner. Kurama ran his hands through Yoko's hair.

 

“So, your highness, do you have something you want to tell us?” Takara said. Hiei was at her side, his arm possessively wrapped around her waist. Yoko shook her head and motioned for everyone to go inside. She knew that she would have some explaining to do.
