Chapter 1

The Start of it All

Chinori followed Rinku down the hall, her arms crossed, "Okay, you hide in the room. This'll be the test to see how smart they are. No one can find you!" Rinku stated his hands behind his head as they walked. Chinori nodded with a blank face.

Alica was walking down a hallway when all of a sudden she heard a little noise. She went to found what it was, but she just ignored. That's when she bump into a boy she was familiar with. She held her head down where eyes wouldn't show. "Gomenasai," she whispered to him, and just walked on past him.

Rinku went into Team Urameshi's room and started drinking the coffee. Chinori hid behind a chair her arms crossed.

Alica heard more rustling somewhere. She turned around, and went to where she heard the sound. She opened the door slightly to peak in...

Rinku took a loud sip of the coffee to get the gangs attention. Chinori smirked at how slow they were. Hiei turned around and glared at Rinku.

Alica took a real good look at the people in the room. She look at the picture that she held in her hand, and look at the girl. She put my hood back over my head, and kicked the door wide open. She un-sheath her katana and attack the guy who had porky pine black hair.

Hiei blocked with ease, "Who are you?" he asked with a glare.

Rinku looked on with interest. Chinori leaned against the wall bored at the new guest.

Alica smirked. "I'm the famous assassin, Ice Angel. Now if you all value your lives I want that girl over there on that chair. My master needs use for her." Chinori blinked and looked up at the girl she now knew as 'Ice Angel'.

Rinku now looked more then just a little interested. Suddenly, Alica vanished out of nowhere. Ice covered the room, and everyone started to get a little chill, except porky pine boy. She grabbed the girl by the waist and jump out of a window. Alica spread her blue wings and took flight.

Kurama stepped into the room and blink. "I heard some racket in here and I came to check it out." Kurama looked around the room and notice that it was covered with ice. "Ice Angel has return," he mumbled under his breath.

Rinku smirked, "Yup, and she just met her doom." he stated.

Chinori's arms were still crossed letting this 'Ice Angel' take her where ever. She blinked uninterested.

"Believe me; you don't want to mess with her. She's a ruthless killer. She killed more people and demons then Hiei has. She's a blood sucking demon. Where Ice Angel is taking her to isn't going to be good for her."

Alica carried Chinori Through the air, while doing so, she explained to her what her master wanted with her. "My master wants to have a regular "check up" with you. Don't worry, I promise he won't hurt you. Much..." Alica laughed evilly.

"We need to find Chinori as quick as possible. If I remember, I believe Koenma has put a "keep track" device on her. Let's see where she is taken her to. Maybe that will help us find her master's hide out."

Rinku shrugged his shoulders, "Chinori will be fine. I'll go tell her team. They'll wanna find her too, I guess." he said walking out of the room.

Chinori shrugged lazily as she looked around.

Four guys walked down the hall towards Rinku who had just walked out of Team Urameshi's room, "Where is she Rinku?" the red haired guy asked.

Alica land on the ground swiftly. Her wings contract back and forward making a large gust of wind. She slammed Chinori against a hard surface. I put her hands behind her back, tied them with a strong hold of rope. Alica held her by the collar and told her to move. She contracted her wings to go back into her back. They started to walk through the cave. It was lightly dimmed with burning candles on the shelves. There was the stench of blood everywhere. As they walked closer to the end they heard a man cackling. Alica threw Chinori to the man. "Here you go, master." She bow to him, and sat on one nee.

"Good work, Ice Angel. Here's your pay." He threw a pack of gold towards Alica. She caught it with one hand.

"Thank you." She turned on her heels and walked out of the cave. She spread her wings and took flight in the sky.

Chinori looked at the man with little interested, she stood up and with a flick of her finger the ropes holding her hands fell to the ground. Chinori moved her hands to look at them; she blinked once and crossed her arms.

Kurama was typing really quickly in the computer. "Found her. She's in Rock Bottom Hill. Not to far from here. Let's get a move on." The gang ran outside to start their new rescue mission.

"You people shouldn't worry about her." Koru stated coldly looking mostly at Kurama.

"Yeah, you guys don't even know her." Metaru added. Hishigata and Kaji nodded in agreement.

Kurama looked at them blankly. "We actually do care. We're on our way to get her."

"You can join us if you want to," Kuwabara said; Hiei whacked him the head. Hiei looked up in the sky to see someone fly over the trees. He pointed up at the sky.

"There she goes." Hiei jump in a tree and followed her. Metaru didn't even look up, a smirk on his face. He suddenly vanished and reappeared on top of a tree a little ways in front of the Ice Angel. He put his hand on his silver metal necklace and it turned into a chain filled with his demon energy. In an instant it was around Alica and pulling her towards him.

Chinori stared at the man bored, "Can I go now?" she asked.

Alica smirked at the demon. "You don't know what you got yourself into." The wind blew and her hood came off. Her eyes glowed an eerie blue. Her pupils didn't even show. Fangs grew, and she showed them. Her hand broke through the chains and took a hold of it. Soon the chain turned into ice. She tapped the iced chain and it broke into pieces. She flew to him and attack.

She scratched his cheek and punched him in the gut. She kicked him the head and threw him in a tree.

Kuro jumped up and attacked her with his own ice attacks.

Metaru wiped the little bit of blood off of her cheek and glared at the 'insolent female'.

Alica chuckle lightly and vanished in thin air. She went behind porky pine boy and whisper in his ear, "Be aware," before he could turn she was gone. The wind whistled through the air, and a single blue feather was left on the ground.

The man ducked tape Chinori's mouth, and tied her legs. He sat her down on a doctor's table. "Now, Chinori, I'm just going to give you a regular check up, to see if you change any," he explained. He gave her shot on her right room, and injected medicine in her. Then he took some blood from her and put it in a vile. "There you go, Chinori, you're all done. To bad you have to forget all this, but it's the way it has to go." He injected another shot in her; soon after Chinori fainted.

Alica walk into the cave. "Ah, Ice Angel, just the demon I wanted to see; take this girl back to the castle and keep a look out on her."

"Yes, Master." Alica took the unconscious girl in her arms, and took her back to the castle, unseen. She flew in a tree after she drop her off and watch. She masked her spirit energy, making sure no one will find her.

Chinori woke up sooner then expected, 'What a fool, like hell some crap meds could make me forget.' she thought to herself with a mental smirk.

Chinori moved her toe and the ropes fell to the ground her legs now free. She pulled the tape off of her mouth. She closed her eyes and sent a message to Rinku, 'Rinku...Rinku answer me damn it!' she mentally yelled. Rinku's head shot up suddenly.

Koru looked at Rinku, "What's up, Rinku?" he asked.

Rinku thought for a moment, "Chinori-san." he replied. "Yeah? Where are you?" he asked out loud.

Chinori mentally smirked, "Here's directions from our energy here." she said sending him a "map".

Rinku nodded, "okay." he said out loud again. Koru looked at Rinku for the information they needed. "She's here." Rinku said and stated drawing Koenma's castle in the dirt at his feet.

Alica slid her hood back over her head. She took out her compact and spoke to it. "Master, she remembers." The master chuckled.

"Just let her be." He said laughing evilly.

Alica shut her compact shut and sat still, waiting to see what will happen.

"Koenma's," Hiei stated looking at the picture with interest.

"Koenma?" Kaji asked confused.

Chinori stood up and started looking around bored.

Yusuke looked around at the people. "What?"

Alica sat in the tree; her eyes glaring at the gang. That's when she felt someone hit her behind the neck. She felled out of the tree, and hit the ground. Her vision went blurry as she strained her eyes to see who knocked her. Her hood uncovered her head "H-how?" Whoever did it was definitely was smirking. That was the last thing she saw before she passed out.

Kurama took Chinori's team to Koenma's castle where they looked around for Chinori.

Chinori left the room and lazily walked around "looking" at things with little interest.

When Alica woke up tied to a chair. She felt like all energy was all drained. 'What the heck? Where am I?' Her head felt dizzy. She struggle against the ropes, and even tried to ice them, but I couldn't.

"You can't break those, Ice Angel, or should I say, Alica?" She glared at the man who said the toddler.

"How dare you restrain me in these chains!" She glared even more at the toddler. I tried to bite through the ropes with my fangs.

"All your energy has been restrain in those ropes. Now, tell us, why did you take Chinori?" Alica looked at him like I didn't even know.

"I'll never tell you. I can't betray master."

Chinori heard the yelling and walked into the room bored. She looked at Koenma and Alica.

"Why not?"

"I don't have to tell you anything!" Alica struggled against the ropes, but to get shock instead.

Chinori listened and "watched" the argument with little interest.

"No use, Alica. These ropes have electricity power in them. The more you struggle, the more you get shock." Alica cursed him. She looked down at the ground.

"I owe him." Koenma looked at Alica with interest.

"What do you owe him?"

"My thanks,"

"What do you mean?" Alica growled. Her eyes begun to turn back to an eerie blue, but she got shock again. This time she squinted in pain.

"He saved my life," she whispered.

Chinori walked over to Alica and sat down in front of her now interested. Alica looked at Chinori with an aggregated face. She spit in her face, but to get shock once more. She howled a little bit. "The more you reject, Alica, the stronger the shocks grow."

"Shut up!" Chinori wiped the spit and continued to stare at Alica. Alica shook in the chair, trying to get out. The ropes kept on shocking her. Each time her shouts grew louder and louder, "Crap you, Koenma!" Alica hang her head down. She shook in the chair and whimper.

Chinori leaned forward and traced the ropes with her finger tips. Alica looked at Chinori with sad eyes. "I'm sorry," she whispered very silently. She looked away, and a tear went down her cheek. It hit the floor with a clang. It turned into a rare tear drop. It was a light blue color, and dark blue fire burning in it.

Chinori picked up the tear with a curious face. Chinori touched the ropes again and they fell to the ground letting Alica go. Chinori started looking at the tear once again.

Alica stood up from the chair. "Thank you," she whispered. She bowed to Koenma, on her knees. "Please save me, Koenma." tears went down her cheeks, and they all clang onto the floor. "Please, I want to be free again."

Chinori looked at Alica blankly and picked up all of the tear gems. "Please, please, I'll do anything! Just help me, please." Alica suddenly screamed out of pain. More tears ran down her cheeks. She held her hand on her stomach. When she took it off blood was on it. There was a sudden wound. "I'm sorry," Alica soon passed out.

Chinori caught Alica with ease. Chinori carefully laid Alica down on her back. Chinori put her hands over the wound and the wound vanished.

"Why did you just save her for, after she kidnapped you?" Koenma ask

Chinori shrugged her shoulders lazily. Chinori's team walked into the room.

Yusuke and Hiei walked into the room after Chinori's team walked in. Yusuke looked at all the blood and tear gems. "I know you were going to get answers out of her, but did you have to go this critical?" Yusuke asked.

"There was a... accident." Koenma said with eyes wide.

Chinori picked up each tear gem and wrapped them in a bandana. She put the bandana in her pocket to give to Alica later.

Kuro shook his head at Chinori, "He's gonna know what happened." he stated, Chinori stopped dead in her movement her eyes wide with fear. She started shaking violently.

"Do you know anything about Alica?" Kurama asked Koenma. Rinku ran up to Chinori and pulled her into a hug rocking back and forth slowly.

"Apparently, I do. Alica is, well, a princess of the ice demons, any type of ice demon, including ice goddess. She was banded from birth when she was a child. Apparently she was found by her "master" and was raised to be an assassin and a thief."

Raji sighed and punched the wall, "Great, more people to protect. Great." he yelled punching the wall again. The wall broke apart like a rock hitting glass.

Hishigata sighed, "This...will not turn out well."

Metaru looked at Chinori then Alica; "We had enough trouble just protecting Chinori now we got this other chick too?" he glared at the 2 girls.

An eerie blue light grew around Alica's body. Alica was lifted from the ground. She was floating the air. She mumbled a chant under her breath, and went back on the ground. All her wounds were healed.

Chinori pulled away from Rinku's hug and gave in a small smile. Rinku nodded and let her go. Chinori stood up and looked down at Alica.

Alica squinted her eyes open, but she could only see white. After a few moments laying there her vision came back. She tried to get up, but a wave of shock went up her spinal cord and shocked her. She lay back down on the ground, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.

Raji left the room angrily.

"Chinori, we should leave, we have to get back to the tournament." Metaru stated a little irritated. Chinori looked down at Rinku then at Metaru. She nodded and Rinku smiled.

Kurama picked Alica up from the ground, and took her to the guest room at the mansion.

Kuwabara looked confused at the entire problem. "Are you all going to continue with the tournament?" Koru asked.

Hiei watched as Kurama left with Alica in his arms. He didn't answer Koru's question as he left the room without a word.

Yusuke and Kuwabara looked at each other before Yusuke finally answered, "Yeah, we gotta continue fighting in the tournament." he replied. Hishigata looked at Yusuke with mild interest before shrugging his shoulder and heading for the door. Chinori and Rinku followed.
