And now for the statement that will save my ass

Disclaimer: I do NOT own YYh. If I did there would be tons of Kuwabaka bashing. And Hiei would rarely wear a shirt drools...Ah! My keyboard!

ONWARD!

Dusk's body whipped around at the sound of Lilly's shriek. She and Jinx saw an electric cage being brought down on her.

Dusk's body moved into action, sliding under and pushing Lilly out just in time. The metal cage hit the ground enclosing her behind it. Dusk could hear Jinx and Lilly calling for her but it was too late. 100,000 volts of electricity went surging through her body.

Dusk's mouth was slightly open her eyes open looking up at the ceiling.

Slowly her body fell forward. It made a sickening crack as she hit the floor face down.

Jinx and Lilly crawled towards the cage. Jinx frowned while Lilly burst into tears. There were many fluids leaking from her face. Jinx didn't know what to do so she cautiously put her arm around Lilly and pulled her over to cry on her shoulder.

Lilly kept sobbing repeating 'it's all my fault. You two should have gone on' over and over through her heavy sobs.

Jinx pushed the sobbing mess of a girl away. Lilly looked at her like she couldn't believe it. Jinx turned to Lilly, her face stern.

'Your right Lilly. It is your fault that Akane is dead.' Jinx said using Dusk's real name that only her closest friends knew. 'If you hadn't have goofed she'd still be alive. You're the one that complained about coming and you blew it. You've gotten our best friend killed. Now Koennma's dog's are on their way over here. If we don't move we'll be taken.' Jinx inhaled. 'Then we'll both be dead and Dusk would have wasted her life on you. Now get your sorry ass moving!' Jinx barked. Lilly jumped at severity in the elemental demon's voice but did as she was told.

Slowly Jinx and Lilly emerged from the dark corridor where they had left their leader and best friend. Jinx held Lilly back from continuing on. She raised a hand and cupped it around her mouth. Jinx exhaled and a soft mist came out revealing strings hanging from the ceiling to the ground.

Jinx started walking across the floor to a large glass case in the center of the room. She shouted to Lilly to stay where she was while she got the twin crystals.

Lilly stood still shivering from hiding her heave sobs. 'I've killed her. I killed my best friend it's all my fault!' Lilly thought to herself, letting a few tears escape from her eye.

All of a sudden she felt a sudden chill and looked to her right. There she saw Dusk's black shadow form. She was plastered against the wall, a look of peace on her face as if she was content with having been captured.

She turned to her left and looked at Lilly. The smile that made people love her so crept across her lips. Slowly she opened her mouth to speak 'Lil, its fine. I heard what Jinx said to you. It's not your fault. That's just her way of coping with sadness. Don't let it get to you.' Dusk said in her kind voice. 'I'm here to tell you I'm going to be fine. Koennma won't kill me; you know what kind of demon I am and when he finds out.' Dusk s paused. 'He'll just run a few tests. But won't kill me. I'll get back to you two somehow. Don't worry yourself. I'll be fine I swear it.' Dusk said through her shadow. 'But I thought you were dead.' Lilly choked out. Dusk's shadow laughed a bit 'I'm in pain. Very excruciating thank you very much. But no, not dead. It'll take more than that to kill me. Though I'll be powerless for a while.'

Dusk then commanded her shadow to go to Jinx.

Jinx stood in front of a glass case thinking of the best way to remove the crystals. She wanted to take them out and have as much time to run as possible. Plus Lilly was with her so this would make it difficult.

Suddenly she felt a familiar presence. 'Well well. I see even electric shock can't kill you Dusk.'

'Well of course not. You two would be lost without me. I've got some information for you.' Dusk said sternly.

'Well? Shoot.' Jinx said summoning her claws and carefully making a hole in the glass.

'I'm going to be captured by Koennma's dogs. I doubt he'll kill me once he finds out what I am. But I'll come find you two as soon as I can. You'd better hurry their almost here. I can hear them' Dusk said her now pitch-black hair flowing behind her.

'When I've gained enough strength back I'll return for you two. Make sure Lilly doesn't die for me?' Dusk said in a 'You will do it because I told you to' sort of way.

'Fine. Now could you leave me? I'm trying to get these out of here.' Jinxes said carefully removing the two crystals one pure white the other a pulpy black swirling mess. Jinx cracked off two fragments and handed them to Dusk.

'They'll help you get your powers back sooner. One for your dark side. One for your light side.' Jinx then saluted Dusk, and Dusk saluted slowly vanishing.

Jinx made it back to the other side and gave Lilly the dark crystal. 'Take this and fly. Fly away as fast as you can get it?' Jinx said giving her an almost caring look.

Lilly nodded and shot up into the air looking for an escape route.

'Lil! Hurry up!' Jinx shouted. She put the light crystal into one of the pouches on her back and took up a fighting stance.

Lilly finally found and exit and flew through it, heading back to their base.

Dusk lay on the concrete floor. Her breathing was heavy and she was struggling to keep her eyes open. She felt surging pain all over her body that was trying to repair its self. She heard footfalls coming from behind and just prayed that what she had told Lilly was true. She lay as still as she possible could while having to endure searing pain. She listened carefully to what they were saying

'Looks like they left one of their men behind.'

'Woman. More like it'

'Well what do you expect? Their a band of a low A class, an upper A Class and an S class demons. Their thieves. As long as they can get their prize they don't need the extra weight.'

'Hey! Open the cage! Let's see which one it is. I'll bet it's that air demon Lilly. She was never any good at this stuff. Dusk always had to go back and save her skin.'

Everyone else just murmured their agreement.

Dusk heard the cage being lifted up back into the ceiling. It was then she noticed what must have scared Lilly. There was a wind torn spider on the right side of the wall and on the left, a stone that had a carving in it. 'That must be what caused the cage to come down.' Dusk thought.

She felt two people put their hands under her to flip her over. She gasped in pain. The two people jumped back.

'She's still alive!'

'After 100,000 volts?' someone she hadn't heard before shouted.

Quickly she felt herself being picked up. It hurt but she held back the scream. Not even her two closest friends had heard she scream like she wanted to right now.

'Take her back to King Enma!' She heard another person shout. Then she heard about 5 pairs of footsteps running down the corridor while 3 people carried her the other way.

'Good there are only five of them. Jinx should be able to take them.' Dusk thought. 'I just hope none of them get to Lilly. Lord knows she can't fight or defend herself.'

Dusk grunted softly as she had her head hit on the back of her captor.

'Were almost there. We'll have you cleaned up healed just a bit and identified. Then you'll tell Lord Ennma everything he asks.' Said a male voice.

Dusk growled slightly. 'I don't take orders from anyone. Especially not a man.' Dusk said in a husky but deadly calm voice.

She heard a feminine voice chuckle a bit. Dusk closed her eyes. The pain in her legs was going away. She couldn't tell if that was good or bad but decided not to mention it. It might make her seem weak. And though she was right then she didn't think they needed to know it.

Slowly she let the pain and tiredness of her body take over. She closed her eyes and entered the land of dreams and nightmares.

Dusk stood in a dark room. There were black curtains drawn over the windows on the ground there was a purple rug on the floor. There were tons of pillows and cushions lining the walls. Right in front of her about 20 feet back was a wooden ladder, which led up to the loft and up to another room. Dusk had been to this room deep in her subconscious many times.

She took about 5 confident steps towards the ladder. She placed her hands on the first rung and began ascending to the upper level. Then from there up to the very top level. This level was different. It had white carpet and pastel colors littered around the room. It looked much like the colors a young girl might like to have in her bedroom.

Dusk walked up to a girl about 16 who was sitting down. She had dark blond hair with black streaks in it. Her eyes were pale purple but turned darker the farther from her pupil you got and ended in black. She was wearing a black thigh length kimono with a purple tie sash and silver water Lilly's on it.

The girl wearing black glared and attempted a smile though it looked deranged.

'It's been awhile, hasn't it Akane?' She asked in a deadly calm voice. Dusk turned to her and smiled

'It has been Ayame.' Dusk said narrowing her pale turquoise eyes.

'And how are you doing Ayame?' She asked. The girl named Ayame just growled and turned her head.

She then began speaking 'you shouldn't have gone back to save her!'

'But she's my best friend. 'Dusk said calmly, taking a sip of the tea that was sitting on the table in front of her.

'It's her fault you got caught!' Ayame shouted.

'It'll be fine.' Dusk said confidently. 'Now down to business. Why did you summon me?' Dusk said getting serious.

Ayame spoke up obviously irritated at her host's cockiness ' you have nowhere near enough energy to fight. So don't try it. You'll kill yourself.'

Dust looked at the girl. Ayame glared at her and Dusk returned it.

'Fine. I won't fight. But what if something happens.'

'Then tap into your energy reserves. Otherwise no.' Ayame said.

After Ayame spoke those words everything began to fade back into reality. Dusk noticed she was strapped down by her wrists, ankle's and torso to a chair. Slowly she brought her head up. She saw the very large Lord Ennma. Slowly she got her other senses back as well.

Lord Ennma glared down at her. She just stared at him. A bored look on her pale face. They sat like that for awhile, testing each other's stubbornness. Finally lord Ennma spoke up.

'You are being put to death under the penalty of theft & murder. You'll be tested and recorded into our logs, then placed into prison to await your execution.' Lord Ennma said sternly.

'May I speak my dear Lord Ennma?' Dusk said in a tone that said she knew something he didn't. He just nodded, fixing Dusk with a stare that could kill.

'I doubt I'll be killed when they find out what type of demon I am.' Dusk said raising her head.

'We'll just see about that.' Lord Ennma said, a low growl coming from his throat that shook the room slightly. 'She may leave now' Lord Ennma said and two people Dusk hadn't noticed before rushed up to the chair. One of the people, a woman, pulled out a pair of spiritual handcuffs. As soon as her partner had un-strapped Dusk's wrists the woman put the handcuffs on her. Then she was un-strapped the rest of the way.

The woman grabbed her right arm, while the man grabbed her left and they slowly led her out of Lord Ennma's chambers.

Dusk twisted her neck to the left and the right, she counted. '12. I just cracked 12 of the bones in my neck.' She stated calmly. 'Could we stop so I could crack my back?' Dusk asked looking straight ahead. The two guards stopped and let her arms go. Dusk twisted her back to the left, then the right.'24.' Was what Dusk said before bending backwards. 'And 16, we can continue' Dusk said smiling waiting for the guards to grab her arms again.

Slowly Dusk was led to an enclosed room. It had a metal table in the middle of the room and 4 chairs. In the back left corner of the room was a Rekai polygraph machine. There were two people in white coats. One, she guessed was a man, had black hair cut close to his head. The other who Dusk assumed to be a girl had green hair and light purple eyes.

Dusk was sat down at the table and they hooked 6 wires total up to her. One on each temple, one on each wrist and one on each of her hands. The two guards that had led her in took seats next to her. The man with bright blue hair spoke up first.

'So thief. What's your name?' He asked coldly glaring at her.

'Oh yes. That glare you're giving me is very threatening' she paused 'Now which name is it you want? There's the one my 'parents' called me, the one I'm known as in all the three worlds. Or my true name.' Dusk said smugly raising her eyebrows at the man interrogating her. She lifted her legs up and crossed them on top of the table, tipping back in her chair.

The man stared at her dumbfounded that she'd talk to one of Lord Ennma's guards like that. He quickly recovered and glared at her jumping out of his chair and grabbing her by the front of her black tank top. It was slightly close fitting but it had just enough room to move around slightly in, just like her pants. They were the perfect attire for a thief.

'I'm not playing games here! Answer the question or I'll have to use force. I don't want to end up killing you.' He spat at her.

Dusk blinked at him a few times. Not really caring as long as he took his hand off her shirt, he might rip it. Dusk sighed and shrugged his hand off. 'You shouldn't be quick to make threats. It makes you seem weak. To answer your question. My name is Akane Kurokawa. Also known as Dusk the Shadow Thief.' Dusk said pulling her feet off the table and slouching a little bit.

After what seemed like hours of getting un fulfilled death threats and being asked stupid questions Dusk was finally led into a third room. This one looked like a doctor's office. One of the people in white coats unlocked Dusk's spiritual hand cuffs. She rubbed her wrists where she was going to have welts the next morning.

'Were going to run some testes. To see what type of apparition you are.'

'I told you I'm an angel apparition!' Dusk said becoming irritated that no one believed her.

'Well, it's so rare that you could be one that we have to check.' Said the person in the lab coat.

Dusk sighed and sad down. She slowly glanced around the room. On the counter to her right she saw a small book, almost like a diary. She glanced back at the woman in the coat and leaned over to grab it.

She looked at the front of it and saw it was black with cream and red stripes. On the side that opened up there was a little lock shaped like a flower. Dusk summoned one of her claws and carefully, as quietly as she could pick the lock. When the book opened she saw in very beautiful cursive writing what appeared to be this woman's journal. Dusk quickly flipped to the back page and began reading

September 17, 1786

The legendary Dusk the Shadow Thief came in today. I heard she was caught in a trap and her companions just left her. She hasn't woken up, but then again who would wake up 2 days after having 100,000 volts of electricity surge through them? I'm surprised she's even alive. The other doctors think she's going into a permanent coma. I hope she isn't. Frankly I'm sad she was caught. She was the only successful woman thief. She was right up there with Youko Kurama! I just hope she's ok.

Takada

Dusk finished and looked up into purple eyes. She smirked and the doctor snatched the book out of her hands. Glaring furiously at her.

'You shouldn't take things that don't belong to you!' She said locking the book and shoving it into a drawer.

'Yes. I suppose. But have you forgotten I'm a thief? It's my thing to take things that don't belong to me.' Dusk said swinging her legs.

'If you'll come over here please? We've got to weight you and take your height. Then get your blood type and race along with your age. We also need you hair and eye color from both forms along with any other personality's you may have...' The woman, Takada, said curtly.

Dusk nodded and walked over. She was put on a scale. The needle swung back and forth between 87 and 85 before coming to rest on 85.7 pounds. Takada marked that down then took Dusk over to a measuring thing. Dusk's legs were held straight along with her head. She came to be measured 5'7.

The woman got a needle and Dusk winced and stuck her arm out. She felt the jab and nearly threw up right there. Takada removed the needle and looked at Dusk. 'Oh don't be such a baby.' She said smiling slightly before pulling a chair up in front of Dusk.

'Eye color?' Takada asked staring at the paper.

'Right: very pale gray Left: Black' Dusk said blinking.

'Hair?'

'Light red with black tips'

'Age?'

'15 1/2'

Takada looked at Dusk and raised her eyebrow.

'I'll be 16 in December.' Dusk said slightly shrilly.

The woman just looked down at her paper and made some marks. Glancing up at Dusk every few seconds. It made Dusk uncomfortable. She'd have other crime lords ask her age all the time, they all had the same reaction. Not only was she a very well known female thief but she was very young to.

'Ok I need the same answers for your other personality and apparition form.' The woman said sad Dusk began telling her about Ayame and her other form.

Dusk was made to sit in that room for a few hours while they processed her blood for her type and her apparition type. Slowly Dusk laid back and stared at the ceiling. Her different colored eyes watered a bit as a single tear streaked down her face. 'I wonder if Jinx and Lilly are ok. Are they worried about me? I miss them so much.' Dusk thought a procession of tears streaming down her face. She heard footsteps echoing down the hall and sat up wiping her tears away.

Takada walked into the room along with the guard from earlier who was shouting at her.

Takada looked at him and elbowed him in the stomach. He looked up a frown plastered on his face. He looked her in the eyes, and took an intake of breath. 'I'm must apologize for my actions toward you earlier. I didn't know you were one of the Maidens.' Dusk looked at the man knelt before her. She had the right mind to knock him out right then and there but held it in.

'I accept your apology.' Dusk said before looking out the window. The man then stood up and cleared his throat 'However. You will be sedated and watched. Lord Ennma wants to see how Angel apparitions work. We can't say how long you'll be under, but when you are awoken it means your sentence is over.'

Dusk gasped and looked at the guard. He had a serious look. Dusk let that breath out and stood up.

'Well what are we waiting for? I want to get this sentence over with soon.' Dusk said opening the door and walking down the cold white hall way. The guard caught up to her and grabbed her right arm. She tensed a bit then relaxed. He led her to yet another doctor's office looking room and left.

As soon as the door closed a girl came out and looked at Dusk. 'We need you to clean off of any bacteria you might have clinging to your body. Use our soap and towels please. I'll then give you a shot that will keep you sedated until your sentence is over.' The woman said handing Dusk some shampoo, soap, conditioner, and a towel. Dusk took the stuff and was directed to a bath with warm water in it.

She stripped and eased herself in. She washed her hair thoroughly along with the rest of her body. Dusk drained the tub and climbed out. She dried herself off and wrapped it around her body.

'Miss! I've finished!' Dusk shouted. The woman almost instantly appeared. 'Umm could you tell me what will happen while I'm asleep? Or sedated? Or whatever?' Dusk asked scared as to what might happen. The woman sighed 'When you are sedated you'll be placed into a special container. You'll be hooked up to machines that will keep you alive and monitor how you are doing while we perform tests. The liquid you are placed in will keep you exactly as you are now. Mentally and physically. When you are removed you won't age suddenly or anything it'll be almost as if you went to sleep.' Said the woman gently rubbing Dusk's arm. Dusk nodded, she didn't quite understand it all but got the basic picture.

The woman carefully lined up the syringe and broke the skin, putting it into Dusk's blood stream. Dusk felt herself growing sleepy. She saw a large tube shaped thing along with a few machines wheeled in. A green-ish liquid was placed into the tube but it was still see through. She felt her towel fall away and herself being lifted up.

Slowly the doctors and researchers placed her in the tank and hooked her up to the machines. They booted to life and they took Dusk down a hall into her own room. The last thing Dusk saw before she fell asleep was a toddler and a girl with blue hair, pink eyes and a pink kimono walk in.

She then blacked out, not able to see hear or smell anything through her new container of a home. Where she'd be kept alive as a test subject.

A/N: Ok guy's here's the first chapter. I'm sorry it's short. It looked longer in word (damn word) so this is just the prolog. I'm not going to make any promises as to when I get the next chapter up. I've got a life now. But I hope to have it up soon!

Dusk: And I know you're all wondering where those bishie's are! Well they'll be along later so just chill.

Mar: Yeah just chill. In the next chapter (which I'm starting on today) you'll meet him

Dusk: One of them.

Mar: Oh yes. One of them. The other will be along shortly after that.

Mar & Dusk: Sayonara
