Part 11 Akina dangled from chains latched to her wrists, blood staining her clothes and running down her face, and she could feel the cold hand of death upon her. "AKINA!" Kiyone cried in shock. "Everyone........I let them down........." She gasped for air. "Mother.....Mother........." Akina heard a gentle voice call to her. "Kioko........" Akina's eyes closed. "How could I let this happen? Why did I have to be so foolish?" Tears stained Akina's face and finally her heart stopped. "AKINA DON'T DIE!!!" Raikon begged. Earlier........ Raikon stretched out on the roof top, for years he had never been so happy. Now he had a wife, a sister, two brothers, a nephew, a niece, friends, heck it was a whole family! "Good afternoon bro." Akina jumped up to the roof. "Hey lil sis." He smiled and saw Kioko. "Uncle! Uncle!" She cheered. "Hey there lil girl!" He laughed. "You certainly are in a happy mood today." Akina sat next to him. "I am. You know I never thought that life could be such a treasure till now." He stared up at the clouds. "Well, I always believed life is more like a gift. Having people you truly care about there with you is what makes it a treasure." Akina smiled. "You believe in allot don't you?" He smiled. "I do." She sighed. "You know what Akina?" He stared over at her. "What?" She stared down at him. "Heh, never mind." He got up and jumped off the roof. "I wonder what he was going to say?" Akina scratched her head then looked over to the center of the lake. "Not again." She flew off the roof and watched as Yukio tried to power up. "KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" The water around him shot up. "Yukio! Knock it off!" Akina shouted. "Huh?" all the water in the air splashed down on him. "Uh, sorry." She tried not to laugh. "Silly Dadda!" Kioko laughed. "You goofy little girl!" He laughed and picked her up. "This is treasure." Akina thought happily to herself. Meanwhile on a faraway castle. "Her heart is glowing........damn you Akina." A women growled. "I knew this day would come, now I will finally put out that light forever!" Her hair was long and a very dark violet color, her eyes were the same. "I will make you suffer for taking him!" she formed a sword in her hand and launched out of her castle. Kiyone was filling out a report on her last case. "Damn." She sighed and tapped her pencil on the table. "Kiyone you've been working on that report all day." Raikon snatched it away. "Hey, common that's due tomorrow." Kiyone reached out for it. "I'll finish it for you, now relax." He winked and sat down. "Oh thank you!" She sighed in relief and fell back. "Done." Raikon dropped the pencil and put the report in a folder. "Huh!?" Kiyone sat up and pulled the report out of the folder. "How.....how the?" Kiyone was wide eyed. "That's just one of my talents." Raikon grinned. "Yo!" Ryoko and the others ran into the house. "Hey!" Kiyone and Raikon blushed and decided to save their romance for later. "Finish your report Kiyone?" Akina sat next to her. "Don't say report." Kiyone grimaced. "I still think you two should join the forces." Akina looked over at Raikon then back at Kiyone. "I'm happy working at the GP." Raikon sighed. "I don't think my power is advanced enough for that." Kiyone laughed. "Whatever Kiyone, I have to admit you did put up a good fight when you were trying to arrest me the first day you came, I'm afraid of what might happen if you challenge me again." Ryoko grinned and sat at the table. "That's not such a bad idea." Kiyone teased. "What was that?" Ryoko growled. "Common you two, you're friends not police officer and criminal." Yukio laughed "Yukio, that's exactly what they are." Akina sighed. "Hey where's Kioko?" Raikon stared at Akina. "She's sleeping in her crib, she was pretty tired today." Akina sighed. "Maybe she's getting sick?" Tenchi and Aeka sat at the table. "I doubt that." Yukio stared up. "She's such a great niece though." Kiyone smiled. "Man, when am I going to get some nieces and nephews huh?" Akina stared at Kiyone then at Raikon. "Uh, er we........" They stuttered. "Never mind." Akina blushed and laughed. "Hey somebody's here." Tenchi stared out at the dock and saw a women. "I'll go see who it is." Akina opened the door and stepped out. "Hello there, can I help you?" She smiled. "Akina Makibi?" The women growled. "Uh, yes. How did you know my name?" Akina stared at her. "My name is Araumi, I've come to finish you off!" She growled. "What?" Akina was slightly shocked. "Who is it?" Yukio came up behind her and saw Araumi. "Yukio...." Araumi blushed. "Um, Miss Araumi, have I done something to upset you?" Akina was trying to be kind. "Enough! We fight now!" Araumi growled. "I'm not going to fight you!" Akina shouted. "That's not an option!" Araumi held her hand up and everyone but Akina vanished. "EVERYONE!" Akina stared into the house. "My castle is on a star three light years east of Earth, if you don't arrive in 1 hour I will kill all of them." She vanished. "This is all to familiar." Akina growled and remembered Kioko. "KIOKO!" She quickly ran inside the house and still found Kioko in her crib. "What am I going to do?" Akina didn't want to leave Kioko behind. "Go on........." A faint voice called to her. "Huh?" Her head shot up. "I'm sorry Kioko, I'll be back soon I promise." she kissed Kioko's forehead and ran out of the house. Later Raikon found himself in a tube like chamber. "Kiyone? Everyone?" He pressed his face against the glass and tried to find them. "Kiyone!" He saw her hanging from the wall by chains. "NO!" he punched against the glass but couldn't break it. "How does it feel Lord Raikon?" Araumi appeared with her head hanging low. "To be denied of your love? To see them being treated in terrible ways? WHEN YOU WANT NOTHING MORE THAN TO BE WITH THEM!?" Araumi shouted. "Why are you doing this!?" Raikon stared at her. "All I ever wanted was to be loved, and I found Yukio, but he didn't love me!" Araumi growled. "He loved that bitch, when I see how happy she is now......." Araumi's head went up. "I want to kill her for that!" Araumi had an evil grin on her face. "Killing Akina will not solve your problem Araumi." Raikon pressed his hands on the glass. "I know, but I still want her to suffer and die!" Araumi noticed the angered look on his face. "You can't do this!" He pounded his fist on the glass. "Watch me. And by the way, there's no way you can break out of that tube, and just in case you try to use the electricity power of yours." The tank began to fill with water. "Till Akina arrives." Araumi grinned and walked out of the room. "No....." Raikon's eyes lit up and he pressed harder on the glass. "KIYAAAAAA!!!" It began to crack but Raikon felt intense pain of the electricity in the water. "AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!" The glass finally broke and Raikon fell from his chamber. "Kiyone......." Raikon passed out. Araumi walked into a bedroom. "Finally....." She smiled and walked to a bed. There laid Yukio's nearly lifeless body. "We'll finally be together." She leaned forward to kiss him. "ARAUMI!" A voice shouted. "No, how could she get here so fast?!" Araumi's head shot up and she quickly transported out of the room. Akina stood in Araumi's main room with a pleased look on her face. "Well, it's the witch of darkness." Araumi growled down at her. "Where's my family?" Akina growled. "Tell me how you got here so fast!" Araumi demanded. "It's a funny thing between me and Raikon, I saw everything he could see just a few minutes ago and transported myself here.." Akina's fists clenched. "And here's another funny thing, he broke free from his chamber. You'd be surprised at how dangerous a pissed off Juraian can be!" She started to glow with her blue aura. "Now I'm going to make you pay." Akina growled. "Hmm, you seem to forget that you are on my turf Akina......" she held her hand up and lights filled the room. Sasami, Aeka, Ryoko, Washu, Yosho, Tenchi, Ryo-Ohki, Mihoshi, and Nobuyuki were all dangling from chains. "Let them go Araumi, you know very well that they don't deserve this!" Akina said in a threatening low tone. "Hmm, fine." Araumi grinned as they all were released. "Now let the fight begin." Araumi charged up her blade. "Raikon..........Raikon.........." A soft feminine voice called to him. "Who are you?" He could hardly move. "You'll be alright now." His body was healed. "Now go....my mother's light is disappearing.................." Raikon's eyes widened. "Kioko?" He gasped and quickly jumped to his feet. "Aunt Kiyone........help her." the voice called out again. "I will." Raikon flew up and broke the chains from her. "Kiyone, can you hear me?" He was relieved when her eyes opened. "I heard her........Kioko....." Kiyone gasped for air. "Shh, save your energy." Raikon smiled and ran out of the room with her in his arms. Akina jumped into the air and formed an energy ball in her hand. Araumi flew at her with full speed. "Prepare yourself!" Akina pitched the ball and it hit Araumi into the ground. "No......how could you have become so powerful!?" Araumi growled. "I trained you dumbass!" Akina growled. "Hmm, well not enough." Araumi grinned and staggered to her feet. " I didn't think I'd have to use all of my energy on you......." Araumi pulled off her cloak and began to glow with a red aura. "Now it's time for you to die!" Chains shot out from the walls and latched onto Akina's wrists. "AHAHAHAHA!" Araumi shot an energy beam through Akina's arms and legs. "AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!" Akina growled in pain. "Now Yukio is mine!" Araumi shot an energy beam through Akina's heart. Everyone woke up and stared up in shock at her. "AKINA!" Ryoko screamed in horror. Raikon and Kiyone ran into the room and stared up at her Akina dangled from the chains latched to her wrists, blood staining her clothes and running down her face, and she could feel the cold hand of death upon her. "AKINA!" Kiyone cried in shock. "Everyone........I let them down........." She gasped for air. "Mother.....Mother........." Akina heard a gentle voice call to her. "Kioko........" Akina's eyes closed. "How could I let this happen? Why did I have to be so foolish?" Tears stained Akina's face and finally her heart stopped. "AKINA DON'T DIE!!!" Raikon begged.
