Chapter 2

New Questions

Alica's eyes opened slightly. The sun was showing through the curtains brightly. She sat up from the bed and looked around the room. "Where am I," she called out.

"Koenma's," Hiei answered from the window sill.

She looked over to the source of the voice to see porky pine boy. "Who the hell are you?" Alica reached for her side to find her katana, but it wasn't there. She growled, and her eyes were glairing at him.

"Hiei." he replied simply.

"Hiei huh, famous assassin/thief, the owner of the Jagan, huh, it's nice to meet someone close to my level, finally."

Hiei smirked, "Hn." Alica crossed her arms, and leaned against the headboard.

"I see that Koenma caught you, right? Course he did, if he didn't you wouldn't be here." Alica looked towards Hiei and smirk.

Hiei glared at her, "So what if he did?"

"It took him a hundred years to catch me. No hard feeling, in other words." Alica closed her eyes for a moment, keeping that smirk on her face. Hiei looked back out the window still glaring. Alica peeked one eye open, and looked at him. "Pissed I see?" Hiei's glare deepened at the window.

"Hn." he replied.

"Auu,"

Chinori headed to the tournament with her team. She looked around for Team Urameshi, but saw them no where in sight and they had the first fight.

Kurama walked into the open room to see Alica conscious and Hiei glaring out the window. "Alica, Koenma wants to see you." Hiei looked at Kurama with little interest. Alica got up from her bed, and walk to the office.

"What do you want, diaper rash?"

Koenma glared at the nickname given to him, "I want you to join Team Urameshi for the Dark Tournament." Alica smirk.

"Why would I, the greatest assassin/thief of all time, join your team?"

"Cause you want my help for one. But you can always just sit in Spirit World prison for the rest of your life." Koenma stated.

"How can you help me? Master kept a tracking device implanted in my spinal cord."

"Chinori can remove it." Rinku said walking into the room, Chinori behind him. "When Team Urameshi wasn't around we came to see what was up. Your fight starts in 15 minutes." Rinku added.

"How can she get the device out of my back?" Alica asked, with a curious face.

Rinku looked at Chinori with a smile. Chinori walked up to Alica lazily, Rinku followed. Chinori looked at Alica's top and Rinku got what she wanted, "She wants you to take off your top." Rinku stated looking away. Alica growled. She told the boys to turn around and cover their eyes.

"If you dare peek I'll kill you." Alica undid her cloak, and let it slid down off her body and onto the floor. She reached for the band of her shirt and pulled it up over her head. "Make it quick," she growled.

Chinori didn't reply as she traced her fingers down Alica's spine. She finally found the tracker and sighed lightly. Chinori pulled out a knife inside a sheath. She handed it to Alica lazily, "Hold this." Chinori spoke for the first time. Rinku couldn't help but look at Chinori shocked.

I took hold of the knife. For some reason, I had a feeling that I could trust her.

Chinori pulled out another small knife and pulled it out of the sheath. She handed the sheath to Rinku who kept his eyes away from Alica. Chinori used the knife to cut at the skin all the way to the bone until the tracker was in view.

Rinku couldn't help but look grossed out at the sight.

Alica winced at the pain, but didn't budge.

Chinori didn't seem to mind the bloody sight as the traced her fingers over the tracker. Chinori started picking at the tracker with the knife slowly edging it out in a very painful way. Alica bit her tongue to keep her from crying out loud.

Chinori stopped and held the knife in her mouth while she dug through one of her pockets. She pulled out what looked like a bottle of water. She poured a little of the "water" on the wound. The wound instantly started to hurt like hell but stopped bleeding; the blood vanishing cleaning out the wound. The wound slowly stopped hurting. Chinori started picking at the tracker again this time Alica didn't feel a thing.

After a few minutes Chinori was able to slip the tracker out. She pulled out bandages and wrapped the small wound. Alica sigh in relief. 'It's finally over,' she thought to her self.

Chinori handed Alica her clothes then started looking at the tracker with mild interest. Rinku examined it too.

Alica put her shirt back on, and felt the small wound on her back. Chinori put the still working tracker in her pocket and put her knives and bottle of "water" away. "If you all don't hurry, Team Urameshi will be disqualified." Rinku brought up.

Alica bowed to Chinori. "Thank you." Chinori looked at Alica lazily and shrugged.

"I'll accept, Koenma; about being on the team."

Koenma smiled hiding his surprise, "Thank you." he said making a mental note to thank Chinori for her help later.

Alica crossed her arms. "Now what?"

"Well, we should probably get to the fight before we're disqualified!" Yusuke stated getting a nod from Rinku.

Alica nodded her head. "Where to?"

Koenma made a portal, "Here." He said as Kurama and Hiei walked into the room. Rinku and Chinori headed through the portal first. Kurama and Hiei had been standing outside the door the entire time. Alica took a few steps to the portal, but before she entered she looked behind her and said, "Coming?"

Kurama nodded, "Yes." he said and walked through the portal. Hiei followed after Alica walked through.

She looked around the features. The sky was blue with clouds; there were green plants and trees. Everything seemed normal, but sadly, it wasn't. From the view Alica could see all the contenders and audience were demons. She smirked at all the demons. She put her hood back over head, and walked behind Yusuke.

Alica stood on the battle ground. The Koto, the referee, told them to begin. The opponent, who was a fire demon, went to attack Alica. Before he even touched her she vanished, and bam! Blood shot out of his body. The fire demon fallen to the ground, dead. Alica licked the blood off her hand, and licked her lips. "His blood was sweet. He was a easy win" Alica went off the platform with a smirk on her face.

Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama all looked more then just a little surprised at the quick win.

"The winner of the first match is Team Urameshi!" Koto; the ref. said into the mic. Chinori looked mildly surprised; Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara congrats on Alica's winnings.

"Whatever. He was way too easy." Alica rolled her eyes, under her hood, and walked over to the bench, and

Team Black-Out, Chinori's team, walked up to the ring. Chinori walked up deciding to take her fight first. The demon known as Jiro walked up to the area and took a fighting stance a smirk on his face. Chinori just looked bored. Koto started the fight and Jiro charged at Chinori.

Chinori side stepped him lazily and looked at him bored. He kept trying to attack her but all she did was step to the side. Quickly getting bored Chinori pulled out the knife she had let Alica hold. When Jiro charged at her this time she stabbed the knife through his neck and spinal cord. She pulled the knife down his back literally cutting is spine in half. He fell to the ground with a thud and Chinori licked the knife clean before putting it away. Koto pronounced the win.

Alica smirked in the background. 'She's got spunk.'

Koto pronounced Team Black-Out the winners because of three straight wins.

One of the members on the opposite team glared and stepped onto the ring, "This isn't over yet! Come up here and fight me! If I win, we get to move ahead!" the demon said confidently. Team Black-Out looked back at him.

Chinori lazily walked up to the demon and took a fighting stance. "So you agree?" the demon asked with a smirk. Chinori merely nodded. The demon went up to full power. Chinori looked bored again. The demon began firing HUGE blasts of energy at Chinori. She jumped up and did flips over each of the blasts with ease.

"Stop playing around, Chinori." Koru stated. Chinori's eyes glanced at him and she nodded. She jumped up again and over the demon landing quietly behind him. The demon spun around and blocked Chinori's kick. She pulled out a knife and hid it behind her back. She grabbed the demon by the neck and intently decapitated him. Her knife missed her own hand by mere centimeters. She dropped the now dead demon to the ground and walked away bored.

Alica stepped up to the plate after the decision has been made from the team leader that the girls will fight the girls for this match. "Come on up, Chinori," Koto called out. Chinori lazily walked up and looked at Alica bored.

Alica look at Chinori blankly. "Ready to fight?" Chinori shrugged and looked at Koto to start the fight.

"Let the match begin!" Alica placed her hand on her katana. "Begin!" Koto yelled. Chinori didn't move. Alica glared at Chinori. Chinori gave her a blank look and waited for Alica to make the first move.

Alica jumped in the air and vanished. She blew icy cold breath on the field, and it turned to ice. She grabbed Chinori and punched her. Then she jumped far back away from her. Then she charged again and punched her in the face. Chinori flipped and wiped the blood from her mouth. Alica changed into her neko form, but no one could see it, thanks to her cloak covering her.

Chinori sensed the energy change and pulled out her knives. Alica saw the knives pulled and jump back. She did a few back hand springs till she was at the back of the platform. She raised her arms in the air to start her next attack. Chinori sensed the air shift and knew that Alica had moved and was preparing an attack. She kneeled down.

"Diamond blast!" She threw out her arms out in the air, and huge crystals went everywhere. Only one hit Chinori. Chinori didn't even wince as the diamond hit her shoulder. She pulled the diamond out and threw it to the ground. Chinori decided to stop playing around now and actually win this. She jumped up and secretly poured a liquid onto her knives before she landed again. "Come on, Chinori, I can feel you want to beat me. Go ahead!"

Chinori's lazy expression didn't change as she charged at Alica and stabbed her in the stomach with both of her knives. She pulled them up cutting deep into Alica's skin.

Alica didn't even wince, "Is that all you have?" Alica pulled out the knives and let the blood run. "Did you know angels wounds can heal quicker?" In a moment or two the wound was completely healed. Alica unsheathe her katana and attack Chinori. She stabbed her in the gut and the shoulder. Chinori didn't wince as she waited for the liquid to take effect. Alica suddenly couldn't move. "What the hell!" She quickly put a shield around her.

Chinori for once showed an expression other then being bored or lazy. Chinori smirked, "You won't be able to move. When I cut you, a poison was put into the blood stream. Heal the wounds, but the poison stays." She started to concentrate real hard to do her next attack.

"You didn't say anything about mind powers." Alica's eyes turned back into an eerie blue.

Chinori put her knives away, "Good-bye." she said ignoring Alica. Alica used her mind to fight Chinori. But suddenly she felt a little tired. "Auu, what's happening to me?" Everything went blurry. Soon, she passed, but not after she used her ice dragon with her powers and hit Chinori.

Chinori fell to the ground and coughed up blood, "Damn." she said trying to stand up. Alica's dragon wrapped around Chinori and squeezed her tight till blood ran out of her. Chinori screamed, her eyes darkening. Her eyes turned a dark grey and her energy went out of control.

Koru, Metaru, Hishigata, Raji, and Rinku's faces paled and backed up against the walls. "This...is not good." Metaru stated eyes almost wide.

Soon after Alica woke up and saw the scene. She saw Chinori losing control. "Crystal, That's enough." She summoned the dragon to come back.

Soon, Alica drank some of her blood that was on the ground, and she was able to move again. "Best thing about being an angel, angel blood is the best healing source for any poison or spell." She felt all restored with power once again.

She went into fighting position, waiting to see what will happen next. Chinori's energy didn't go back to normal. Chinori stood up, her eyes a dark cold grey; energy radiating off of her body. Alica was not fazed at this at all. Instead she disappeared and went behind Chinori. "This is it," Alica whispered in her ear. She took her hand and knock her at the back of her head, took her katana her and stab it through Chinori's gut. Chinori felled to the ground and screamed. Alica used her claws and tab them in Chinori's neck and back line till she passed out. Chinori's body woke up a second later her eyes piercing.

"It won't work." she said in a cold dark voice. Chinori vanished, her claws sharp.

"Won't work on me either,." Alica said in a darker voice. "Once I drank other people's blood I'm invincible."

Chinori smirked, "If you say so." Chinori started attacking Alica with her claws. Alica did the same thing with Chinori. Even if there was a mark on her it healed immediately. Chinori jumped back and pulled out the tracker that had been in Alica's spine. Some of Alica's blood was still on it.

"Shit!" Alica jumped back after she scratched Chinori on the cheek. Chinori's eyes remained dark as she poured her energy into the tracker.

Alica placed a shield around her. She let out her wings and took flight. Chinori let some of her own blood drip onto the tracker. Alica summoned her sorceress staff. "By the power of the gods I cast spell upon thy Chinori. Keep her fall with God's mighty attack. I summon the power of water"

Alica blasted water out of her staff. "Fire, wind, air and ice, together it is the ultimate spell placed upon thee!"

The five elements combine and turned into a blue ball. In that ball of elements was source that will put her to sleep; including her mind and body and anything else inside her to sleep. The ball Hit Chinori before she got a chance to dodge, but the side effects for Alica wasn't good. She had to give up 30 of her spirit energy to do this attack.

Chinori growled, "It won't work. Stop trying." she said covered in blood.

"Think again!" Out of no where her dragon was released from the ball and wrapped around Chinori once again. Chinori didn't seem to care, "This is a waste of my time." she finally said as a black shadow came up from behind her. The shadow grabbed the dragon and destroyed it. Alica stared at the dragon shock. "My-my dragon, it's gone. That can't be!" Alica kneeled on one nee in front of Chinori. "You win this match." She had a smirk on her face. "I'm free," she whispered.

"Chinori is the winner by disqualification."

Chinori smirked, "I'll take anyone else who wishes to fight."

Alica stood up from the ground and held out her hand, "Nice win." The black shadow disappeared behind Chinori and her eyes changed back to normal. She fell forward passing out.

"Chinori!" Alica caught her in her arms. Chinori and Alica's teams ran up to them.

"Is she alright," Yusuke asked first.

"Probably not," Raji answered.

"Yea, she's going to be just fine. Just mentally tired now from my spell I cast on her awhile back. I would have hold out little longer, but I thought she deserve to win. Call me weak, I don't care."

Hishigata put a hand to her forehead, "Definitely not alright." he corrected.

"We have to leave." Koru stated taking Chinori from Alica.

"Don't worry, I'll give her this. It cures anything." Alica held out a tear gem she cried. She took a knife and cut Chinori's wrist.

Koru stopped her, "No."

She placed the gem in that wrist, and used her hand to heal it.

Alica chant a healing spell, hoping that it would work.

"She's not just tired, or sick. Her father found her." Metaru brought up.

"Her father?" Yusuke asked confused.

"Is that bad?'

"Yeah, that's why we joined this." Raji answered.

"To save her life," Rinku said walking up to them sadly.

"What does he want with Chinori?" Yusuke ask.

"Her life, Chinori's father is a lord of a very high power. Chinori was supposed to be married, but she ran away." Raji explained

Yusuke and Alica looked shocked. "I'll kill him," Yusuke whisper, "If he dares touch her!"

"You can't. Her father is the devil himself." Koru stated coldly.

"How is that? Is he satin?" Kuwabara asked.

"Yeah, pretty much." Rinku answered, touching Chinori's cheek. Kurama looked shocked.

"How can this be?!" Yusuke asked loudly.

"Satin is a demon after all." Raji answered as if it were obvious.

"Then this mean Chinori is...Satin's daughter?" Alica asked. That's even worse then her being part Korean from her mother's side.

No one replied.

Alica looked at Chinori. "Why?" she asked. "She's a good girl, and...A good friend..." Alica broke down into tears.

"That's why Chinori ran. She wanted to be who she was. Not who he wanted her to be." Rinku stated sadly tears running down his face.

"This isn't fair! She deserves better!" Alica shouted.

Raji sighed, "Yeah, she does. But that's not what she got."

Hiei's hands were clenched in anger.

"It seems like all she been through is a load of shit! That's no fair! Why her! Why can't it be me!?! I'm the one who deserves all this pain. Why her? She's a caring, good hearted person."

A man walked up an evil smirk on his face, "I'll take her now."

Rinku's eyes widened in fear as he looked at the man, Alica glared at the man. "I know you from somewhere."

"Oh really, I should hope so. I'm very well known." the man said.

Alica went through pocket to see pictures. She looked at the man and back at the picture. "You were my next assassination master assigned to me."

"My name is Yojiru, I am Chinori's father." he said with a proud smirk.

"Hn, I didn't ask you for your name." Alica glared at him. "But I can't be rude, I'm known as Ice Angel around these three worlds." Demons started freaking out in the stadium when they heard my name.

"The famous assassin/thief Ice Angel?" Koto asked.

Alica glared at Koto. "What's it to ya?"

"Oh? An honor," Yojiru stated.

Team Black-Out stood in front of Rinku and Chinori protectively. Alica rolled her eyes.

"You better back off of Chinori. She's not going anywhere with you." Chinori blinked and held her head.

"Of course she is." Yojiru stated.

"Dear, come on. Come back to us." a young woman said walking up to them

"No; she isn't," a girl flew out from the sky. She had long silver hair, silver eyes, and silver wings.

"Who are you?" Kurama asked.

"I'm Silver Wings, angel of hope." Silver wings took Chinori from my arms and teleported to somewhere else.

"Angel of Hope?" Amaya asked.

"My half sister," Alica hissed.

"And who is she?" Kurama asked looking towards the woman next to Yojiru.

"That's Lady Amaya; Yojiru's mate and Chinori's mother." Rinku replied.

Amaya smiled, "Nice to meet you." Chinori stood up and walked in front of her friends. Rinku tried to stop her but to no luck.

"Hn, Back off. This girl is my list. Ice Angel, hand me her." Alica handed her Chinori.

"Well, sorry to make this short, but I have my hope to give." In a split second, she was gone, with Chinori in her arms. Yojiru glared and time literally stopped. Amaya and Chinori were the only ones able to move.

"You can't get her," Alica telepathically message them. "Angel of hope already brought her to Heaven in our world." Once there, she won't be back for awhile."

Chinori forced Silver wings to let her go. Chinori fell to the ground landing on her feet.

"Child, you're in Heaven now. I'm going to help you."

"I don't need help, take me back." Chinori stated angrily.

"So you don't want your father to leave you alone. I was going to give you a second chance to have a better life with someone else. Or do you want to return to being torture? You only get one chance."

"I'll go back; I'm not going to let him stay here. No one else should have to suffer like I did; like I have. I will kill him even if I die trying."

"As you insist," Silver Wings bowed to her and open a portal. "This will take you back to where you left. Good luck, and if you need help with anything, ask Ice Angel to contact me."

Chinori smiled and nodded, "Thanks, I'll do that." she said going through the portal. Time by now, had returned to normal.

Yojiru and Amaya were rather surprised to see Chinori had come back. "Chinori? Why'd you come back? You could have a second chance." Ice Angel asked.

"I could have. But then he'd still be around. It's worth the pain of 1 person to save a million." Chinori answered sadly.

Alica looked at Chinori's father. "You make me, sick. Please don't take Chinori. Take me instead. I'm very valuable around this area. I'll do anything." Alica took off her cape, threw it to the ground, and bow on one knee. "Take me instead. I beg of you. Just leave Chinori alone."

Yojiru smirked, "That might be a good idea."

Chinori's eyes widened, "Like hell you're gonna do that!" she said stepping in front of Alica. Chinori's blind eyes were forced in a pissed glare. Alica kept her head bowed down. A tear went down and a pang was heard. Chinori's glare deepened.

"Stay out of this, Chinori! See what I can make with my tears?" Alica handed a tear gem to Yojiru. "It's very rare and valuable because it only comes from the goddess of Sadness." Yojiru took the tear and his smirk widened. "I'll also do whatever you say no matter what it is. I'll do whatever you want to me no matter what. Just don't bother Chinori any more. I'll give you my life."

Chinori grab her gem from her father, "Back off," she said in a low threatening voice. Yojiru was a little surprised, even he, had never heard her sound like that.

"Stay out of this, Chinori!" Alica yelled.

"Don't you realize I'm giving up my life for you? You won't be doing much if he took you away. If he does I'll kill myself!"

"It's not your problem!" Chinori said with a fierce glare at Alica. Team Black-Out was shocked at her actions to say the least. Alica looked at Chinori with wide eyes.

Suddenly, Alica glared at her. "Fine, if you want to get yourself taken away, fine! I had enough already."

Chinori looked up a smile on her face. She looked back at her father and took a fighting stance, "Well, let's go, you want me, come get Me." she said with a confident smirk.

Alica stood beside Hiei, crossed her arms, and closed her eyes. "Bake," she mumbled.

Yojiru looked at Amaya and Amaya walked over to Yusuke and the gang. She sat down quietly and watched at Yojiru took a fighting stance.

Alica watch closely at the scene in front of her, praying the Chinori will be alright in the end.

Chinori's glare deepened, her energy rising. Yojiru didn't seem to care, his smirk still firmly placed on his face. Chinori jumped up her knives in hand and the fight began.

Yojiru stabbed Chinori in the stomach sending her flying across the stadium. She hit the wall and fell to the ground. Yojiru looked at her from his spot. He hadn't moved a step since the fight began. Chinori's right arm was broken; cuts and bruises covered her body.

"Give up, Chinori. This is a waste of my time." Yojiru said rather irritated. Chinori forced herself to stand up stumbling forward her hand over her stomach.

Alica clap her hands together and said a chant. Everyone looked at her weirdly.

All of Chinori's wounds were healed. "Chinori! You can't die now! You have angel's power in you." Chinori looked shocked for a minute before she smiled confidently. Yojiru glared and started to walk away, "I'm not wasting anymore of my time. Next time we'll take you home. Amaya! We're leaving." he said. Amaya stood up and quickly followed. Chinori smirked as they vanished from sight before she fell to the ground unconscious.

Alica ran to Chinori and hugged her. "As long as that tear gem inside you, you're invincible. Not as powerful as me, but to anyone else, yes." Rinku looked relieved. Everyone ran up to Alica and Chinori. The demons in the stands looked shocked. "Why do you demons look shock for? Want me to knock some sense into your hard skulls?" Alica popped her uncles. "I don't mind. Who wants to be my volunteer?" Alica smirked at the stadium of demons as they ran away.

The Gang laughed. Hishigata walked up to Chinori and picked her up. "She should be fine. With that tear drop in her and all. She shouldn't be damage or hurt." Koru nodded with a small almost unseen smile.

"And Team Urameshi wins!" Koto announced. The demons booed or screamed really loudly.

Raji glared, "Shut you fucked ass demons!" Raji yelled furious. The demons quickly zipped it. Rinku laughed.

Alica crossed her arms and huffed. "Auu," Rinku Laughed. Alica glared at Rinku. "What's so funny?"

Raji glared too, "I'd like to know what's so funny too."

"You two!" Rinku said, cracking up. Rinku continued to laugh. Raji glared lightly at Rinku then sighed. Chinori gave Rinku a small smile of enjoyment.

Alica leaned on Hiei's shoulder, without knowing it. "To tired," Hiei looked down at Alica shocked his cheeks turning a light red. He was tempted to tell her to get off but decided against it and let her stay.

Chinori smiled and told Rinku. Rinku held back another laugh. Alica slightly closed her eyes, trying to fight not to go to sleep. Hiei sighed and picked her up bridal style and took her back to their team's hotel room.

Chinori couldn't hold in a laugh as soon as they were gone.

Alica laid her head against Hiei's chest. "Thank you," She said before she went to sleep. Hiei's blush deepened as he looked down at her. Alica snoozed soundly in Hiei's arms and cuddle a little closer to his body. Hiei's eyes widened his face a dark red now.

Hiei went to lay her down on her bed, but her hands were clutched to shirt and she wouldn't let go. Hiei sighed and took a seat on her window sill with her sitting on his lap. "Hiei," she mumbled in her sleep.
