I do not own d gray man or Inuyasha

Last time...

Lavi, Lenalee and Allen got themselves in to trouble and got saved by a sliver haired girl. They soon found out the locals call her the Mori no seirei. But the question still remains who is this mysterious girl?

Mori no seirei.

The sun shone brightly through the window of a certain white haired exorcist room. The rays of light irritated his eyes. He opened his sleepy eyes "its morning all ready?" He rubbed his tired eyes "well I better get dress" he quickly got dressed in his exorcist attire and went down stairs for breakfast.

As he went down he saw his fellow exorcists sat at a small table at the other side of the room they were discussing about something while they ate. The two of them spotted the white haired boy and waved.

"Morning sleepy head" said the red head cheerily

"Good morning Lavi. Lenalee" he got himself a normal size breakfast for once. "So got any leads about the Shikon no Tama?" he asked as he took a large bite of his rice.

Sadly the red head shook his head "No. so far I got nothing. Every time I ask about the stupid jewel they say it's just a fairy tale and nothing more." He let out a heavy sight and placed his head on the table with his arms cross. "I'm starting to think this Shikon no Tama business is just a wild goose chase"

Lenalee spoke out "that's not possible! There have been akuma sightings all over that forest. There has to be something there the Earl wants but what could it be?"

Allen was deep in thought until he said "do you think that silver haired girl has something to do with it?" the other two exorcist looked at the white haired one questionably "I mean think about it. Lavi somehow got saved by her when he was falling to his doom and she somehow crushed that bolder that was about to crush me and saved Lenalee from a wild bear and made mistake her for me."

"To be fair you do have the same colour hair as her" she shyly said as she as she remembered the embarrassing event. Her pale cheeks went bright red. She likes the white haired exorcist for awhile now but she was too shy to tell him how she felt. Plus her older brother would kill him if he finds out he stole his dear little sister's heart.

But it didn't go unnoticed "oh what's this?" exclaimed the red head as he lifted his head with a mischievous grin "are you embarrass Lenalee?" he said teased as he let out a chuckle.

The girl went red with both embarrassment and anger. She lifted her arm and smacked the red head right across his face. "Shut up!" she screamed angrily. The force of the hit was so strong that he fell off of his chair and kissed the wooden floor boards. His poor face was rubbed against the rough surface.

The next thing they knew and hand grabbed hold of the table. It was then Lavi's face popped up above the table. His face had a bright red hand mark that still glowed in pain and it was covered with splinters all over. "That wasn't very nice Lenalee. I was only teasing" he groaned as waterfall tears fell over his cheeks. Lenalee just turned away from him with her arms cross.

A large sweat drop appeared on Allen's forehead as he laughed nervously. He was both confused and oblivious to what just happened "That may be true but somehow you weren't able to sense her even though your fifth sense is extremely strong." He tried to continue were they left off.

A light bulb flickered on at their heads "your right!" they exclaimed

"Now that I think about it she did charm that bear with this odd but beautiful melody" she began to remember the wonders melody. It played in her head and made her feel in peace "it was nothing I ever heard before. So sweet and gentle"

The three exorcists collaborated together and discussed what their next move would be. They asked around about the Shikon no Tama but it was getting them nowhere. There were also no strange occurrences like abnormal weather patterns, tree coming to life, a vampire on the loose or anything unusual that could seem like an innocence had something to do with it. But when they talked about the mysterious girl nearly everyone had something to say. Some say she helped guide they out of the forest. Some say she save their lives from wild animals. One person claimed that he saw her dancing on water. That proves she's a spirit.

Some of the more personal stories were about how she stopped people committing suicide. The one that stood out the most was Saki story. She was a young a pretty girl the chocolate brown eyes and short ash black hair. She was small and frail only 13 years old.

Her story went like this. It was about a year ago when it all happened and she had enough of all the bullying. She just couldn't take it any more so she left a note on her bed telling her parents good bye and then she ran away to the forest so she could die alone. It was the middle of the night the forest was covered in complete darkness. The only light were the stars the shone in the dark sky. She ran to a small clearing somewhere. She took out the knife she carried with her and placed it to her heart. She was about to plunge it in her heart when...

The small blade was knocked right out of her hands. "What do you think you're do child" a cold yet gentle voice said.

Saki looked up. Her chocolate eyes met golden ones. Long silver hair fluttered in the wind as a girl maybe her age or may be a little bit younger stood before her proudly. It was then she realised that the girl in front of her was none other than the Mori no seirei. Her eyes widen in shock "Mori no seirei" she whispered under her breath

But the girl did heard her "Mori no seirei?" she questioned "is that what they call me now?"

Saki was still wide eyes but her stunned state soon faded as she dropped her head in shame "please leave me alone to die" she sobbed as the tears began to fall.

The sliver haired girl's golden eyes widen in surprise of her words. "Why on earth would you want to die? You're still a child" she said softly

"It because..." Saki tried to get the words out of her mouth. "I can't take it any more all the beatings, the insults, the threats I just can't take it any more!" she continued to ramble on as the Mori no seirei listened to every word. "It just hurts so much" the girl continued to cry loudly.

The silver haired girl walked up to her slowly. "Did you tell anyone of your pain little one?" she asked in a soft voice.

"n-no" Saki stuttered "I didn't want them to worry about me"

"Yet you think death is the answer?" Saki eyes opened her in realisation how she could have been so blind. A small warm hand hooked her chin and tiled her head upwards until her eyes were locked with the gold eyes that stared back at her. Another hand was place gently on her cheek. "Look at me child and listen to my words. The pain will not go away if you do not do something about it. Tell someone. Tell them of your pain and let them help you heal the wounds. Let them help you stop this injustice" tears threatened to fall once more "Death is never the answer. It can only cause more pain not just to yourself but to thoughts around you as well."

No longer able to hold back the tears Saki cried her eyes out and latched herself on to the Mori no seirei. She was surprisingly warm for a spirit. They stayed that way for a long while. A lot of time passed but no one knew how much. All they know was the sun would soon rise. The little girl let go of the warm embrace "thank you for everything" that was all she could say but the girl with silver hair had already disappeared without a trace. "Did you even hear me?" she whispered sadly and made her way out of the forest to her home.

As she did her parents came rushing through the door with a worried look "Saki!" the yelled in relief and ran towards their daughter and squeezed her in a spine breaking hug. She then told them everything she was going through and her encounter with the Mori no seirei

After her confession the bullies were dealt with and she no longer felt the pain. Her parents were so happy to see their daughter smile so brightly once more. They wanted to express their gratitude to the Mori no seirei and spend about a week or two trying to find her but they never did. So little Saki had an idea she made a gift for the Mori no seirei and with a note that said thank you and placed it on the spot where they first met.

The next day she returned to the spot to find her gift was replaced by a small, brown wooden box. She opened it to see a wooden necklace of a dog's head. It was painted white and had deep blue eyes and golden markings. It was beautifully crafted with not a single imperfection. There was also a note that said 'your welcome little one and thank you for the lovely gift.' And that is the end of little Saki story.

The three exorcists listened to the whole story and were touched. Lenalee was even brought to tears "that was so sweet" she said as she tried to hold back the tears. The two boys nodded in agreement.

"You what" Lavi stared "wouldn't it be cool if she was the innocent user. Then that would mean she can become an exorcist and help us out"

"Yeah" Allen said with a small simile "but first we need to find her. I have a feeling that she might know something about the Shikon no Tama" he then looked down miserably "but from what we heard so far she won't be easy to find. I'm afraid we have to..."

"Don't say it" Lenalee said with her hands covered her ears not wanting to hear Allen's final words.

"We're going to have to camp out in that creepy forest aren't we?" Lavi finished the sentence off

"I was afraid of that" she groaned

"Well from most of the stories we heard took place at night. So it our best bet is to search at night." Allen explained

There was a small tap on the white hired exorcist shoulder. He turned to face the young girl Saki. "If you're going to try a find her I wish you luck. She is a very tricky spirit." She let out a small giggle.

Allen smiled back at her "thank you for the information" he then tuned and faced his fellow exorcists "come on you guys we have a spirit to find"

After a while, they stood at the forest entrance once more. The forest looked even more frightening since when they last saw it. That was probably berceuse the sun was about to set and the thought of staying in this forest in the dead of night send shivers down their spine. They made their way through the thick trees as the sun disappeared and a crescent moon along with the stars took its place from the sky. They wondered through the forest in hopes to find this spirit girl as soon as possible.

It was then Lavi just thought of something really important "hey you guys I just realised something"

"What is it Lavi?" the other two said in union not really bothered of what he had to say.

"There have been a lot of akuma sightings here right?" Lavi asked

"Yes" said the girl

"Then how come we haven't seen any?"

They all spotted in their tracks "you know something Lavi you have a point we haven't seen any akuma since we got here. The town was so at peace and there were any news of a murder. Where are the akumas hiding?"

"Maybe they're not coming" the red head said

It was at that moment a large creature jumped out of the shadows. It was a level 3 akuma that looked like a human frog with red bunging eyes, purple skin and sharp claws and teeth.

"I just jinx it didn't I?"

"Yup" said the other two. They readied there innocents but before they called them out the akuma frog screamed in agony and faded into dusk. They all thought the same thing what just happened here?

From a distance the sound of battle cries could be heard. The exorcist team rushed over and couldn't believe what they saw. There was a level 4, 5 and 6 akuma facing off with the mysterious girl known as the Mori no seirei. "Give us the jewel!" they demanded

"Never" she simply said. She showed no fear as she faced the high level akumas

"Then will just have to take it" they charged at the girl but faster than the eye could see the jumped high into the air and kicked one of them in the head. The force was so strong that the akuma was knocked out cold and laid there motionlessly. The remaining two continued to attack but she dogged all their hits with grace. They tried a pincer attack but ended up hitting each other as the girl leaped away without a scratch. One of the akuma was take out leaving only one left. It charged at the girl once more.

The girl just stood there with eyes closed and did not move at all. She reopened her eyes and stared at the akuma "your time is up" she said coldly. The akuma screamed in pain and disappeared to ash along with the one knocked out cold.

The exorcists were shell shock form what they saw the mouths wide open. Suddenly, the girl turned to face them in a sharp motion. It made them jump out there skin. "So you finally come for me travellers from the western land."

"Is she talking to us" whispered the red head to his companions. They were still shock with this turn of events

"You seek the jewel do you not?" the three nodded. "Then follow me" with that said she rushed towards the trees and they quickly followed her. After a while they end up face to face with what looks like a small shrine. They opened the sliding door to see a small cave at the very end. They walked into the room. It was plain and almost barren. There attention turned to the cave. Is that were the jewel is? They though

"If you wish to take the sacred jewel" said a cold voice. They turned to see the silver haired girl. "You must complete three tasks" she slowly walked towards them as a dark aura surrounded her "however..." there was a long daunting silent "are you willing to risk your very lives for it?"
