Under the shadow of the leaves, hidden from the light of the twin moons, she pressed her back against the rough trunk of a towering tree, gently inhaling on a nearly spent cigarette. In a sea of wood and leaves she was well concealed against those she had sensed following her, and they were approaching fast. She wrinkled her nose in disgust at their demonic energy.

Demon City wasn't known for very many demons above type "D", but these were much stronger, harder to evade, possibly high "B" types.

The intelligence was right…Koenma, you dumbass, she thought.

With one final puff of the cigarette, she exhaled and began hopping branches with such ferocious speed she looked as though she were sprinting on air, a light-pink blur. The blackened leaves of the rotten forest she was navigating zipped by making sounds like a crow's wing through the air, the putrid stench of this world's air seemed intensified at this speed. She regretted not being able to put a dispersive aura around herself, but it would have attracted a horde of lower class demons to her location. She would just have try breathing through her mouth as much as possible.

But before she had much time to marvel at the vile stench the strong demonic entities she had sensed began to materialize on her left and right suspended in air.

They had arrived.

Suddenly, she felt herself falling through the branches of the treetops being dragged down by her ankles. She kept her face straight up to avoid the worst scratches hitting the foul earth at the bottom with a soft "thud". Around her legs were anklets of red light that bound both her feet, but just before she could dispel them she was hit by a barrage of orange spheres from somewhere in the tree tops.

She tried gathering herself but not a second later was assaulted by a blinding flash of red and she could feel her limbs and torso becoming worn and bruised from a flurry of punches and kicks. It appeared they would give her a good exercise.

Centering her energy before she could sustain too much damage she unleashed a blue aura that blasted her assailant back to the leaves and branches above. With her legs free again from the anklets she too jumped back into the upper levels.

Breaking through the dense brush of leaves she was greeted by the presence of two demons, both wearing matching uniforms with a central emblem on each.

"Genkai, of Human World, state your business here," one said.

"Oh, so I was expected?" she replied in the softest of tones, "You can tell your master his welcoming committee is piss poor."

Icy glares met her as she ripped the tattered sleeves off her outfit revealing toned, sinewy arms.

"If demons of your caliber are present around Demon City than you know exactly why I'm here," she said, parting some pink hair behind her ear. "It's here too, isn't it?"

With her question they assumed fighting stances and evaporated into the air in an instant and rushed her. She blocked each of their kicks with her forearms with ease enough to flutter her earthy brown eyes and reveal a wide grin.

In the eternal night, the three disappeared in a blur of punches and kicks.
