Chapter 8: Seiryu the Blue Dragon and slipping away

I have to wake up!

Mujakina, it's not your fault

I open my eye and noticed I'm not in the Manor anymore, there's no Master Izayoi or Shinji. Suddenly I heard wailing cries of the child on this familiar room, I turned to see a little girl clutching a moonstone necklace and on her lap was a shrine maiden doll, like the one that Genkai gave me. Her eye was bandaged and she's wearing a white Kimono, she looks like me.

I walked over to her and watch as she kept on crying, tears formed in my eyes when I remembered my past. The door slid open and saw a young woman with blue hair and pink Kimono, in her hand was a paddle. Botan…

I remember this…This was the day when I was about to go to Spirit world.

"Hello, little girl." Botan said to my younger self, Mujakina parted her head from her arms and look up to the grim reaper, she back away in fear and was about to scream.

"No-No! Don't worry! I'll won't hurt you, I-I'm here to take you to someone important. He wants to talk to you." The grim reaper assured Mujakina; she shook her head and looked away from the grim reaper.

"I don't want to c-come with you…What if you're one of them?" Mujakina said to Botan, the grim reaper tilted her head to the side with her face puzzled.

"What one of them dearie?" Botan asked my young self, Mujakina looked back to the grim reaper and gave her an uncomfortable expression.

"Those m-monster that Genkai said. What do you call them again?" The young girl asked the grim reaper with a cold eye.

"You mean demons?" Botan asked Mujakina, my young self-nodded and buried her face in the provided doll that Genkai gave me before.

"Oh no Sweetie, I'm not them I came from the spirit world, I'm here to take you to a very important person." The Grim reaper said while hopping into her paddle, her feet are dangling on the ground and held out a hand to my younger self.

"So…If you're not a Demon then….Are you an Angel?" Mujakina asked the grim reaper, Botan giggled and shook her again.

"No, sweetie, I'm a grim reaper. I collect souls." Botan said to the girl, Mujakina stood from the ground and clutch the doll on her arms.

"Why should I trust you?" Mujakina asked, the grim reaper stared at my younger self's eye and bit her lower lip.

"You're kind of smart for an eight year old…You're like the younger version of Yuzuki…" Botan muttered to the child, Mujakina shot her head up at the grim reaper with her eye wide.

"Who's Yuzuki? I heard that name before….Tell me who she is!" Mujakina asked and demanded the grim reaper to tell her, Botan slapped both hands on her mouth and shook her head.

"Oh nothing! She's a dead person already! You kind of remind me of her…So can I take you to Spirit world now?" Botan held her hand to my younger self, Mujakina extended her arm and hesitated for a bit, She look up to the grim reaper with a curious look.

"What if…Genkai….Looks for me?" My younger self asked Botan and smiled calmly at Mujakina.

"Trust me, she'll won't know." Mujakina took the grim reaper's hand and flew away to Spirit world.

The scene dissolved and the next one showed me that I'm inside Koenma's office, he showed himself as a toddler stamping a lot of papers.

"You must be Mujakina Tsukiko; I'm Koenma, the Prince of the Spirit world. It's nice to see one of the Tsukiko Family members still alive more less an heir!" He said getting off his comfy chair and stood in front of me and bowed respectfully, my younger self did the same and still clutch the doll in her arms.

"What do you want from me?" Mujakina asked the Prince of the spirit world, his face faded into an anxious expression, Mujakina watch Koenma with a curious eye. Koenma transformed into teenage man and my younger self jumped in disbelief.

"My father told me since you know about the truth about the things around you…You'll have to remain here forever." Koenma said to me with sad eyes.

" What do you mean remain here forever?" Mujakina asked him with a harsh tone, he sighed deeply and stared at my younger self with an anxious look on his face.

" It means that...Since Izayoi is dead, you have to remain here forever, you'll be staying a shrine just near the castle. The servants will provide you food and anything you need. You won't be able to get out of the room if my father says so." Koenma said.

" Like a cage animal..." Botan muttered to herself, Mujakina's eye went wide and her jaw dropped.

"NO! You can't make me!" She shouted at the prince, Botan placed each hand on Mujakina's shoulders trying to calm her down. The prince cringed when she shouted at him.

"Please! I don't want to stay here! I don't want to be caged here!" Mujakina said struggling in Botan's grasp; Koenma went back to his seat and sat down, his head buried in his hands as if he was thinking something. He pokes his head out of his hands for a second and continued mumbling to his self.

In less than a minute he lifted his hand and signaled my younger self to go near his desk, Mujakina went over his deck while clutching the doll on her arms, His hands rubbing his temples.

He looked up to Mujakina then sighed deeply.

"Mujakina, if don't stay here many Demons will try to kidnap you or worse, they will not stop until they get the hands on the moonstone. Listen, if you stay with Genkai then you'll get killed." Koenma said as my younger self shook her head again, man I was really stubborn.

"You'll have no choice prince man, you can't make me." Mujakina said with a stern expression, Botan step back from the heir and shivered in fear. A huge spirit energy flowing through her body, Koenma watch as my younger self's energy flare through her.

"Then….I have an idea for you, you'll have to be a watch over a given place. But it's too risky for you, Mujakina. It might end your life." Koenma said as Mujakina straightened her back and stared at the Prince.

" I don't care anymore, all I wanted is to avenge MAster Izayoi but she told me not to! Now, I want to do it! Just let me! I don't want to experience those things again! " Mujakina answered back to the prince, Botan stared at the girl with shock.

" Deal. You're right. I can't force her." Koenma muttered to the young girl.

"Is-Is that like a deal?" Mujakina asked Koenma, he nodded and went to the younger self's side. HE kneeled on her level and held out his hand.

"But first, we must let Father know this first and learn if he can confirm it or not." He said as Mujakina placed her hand on his and the three of them went to the throne room.

I remember now…IS this part of the curse? I wonder how Yusuke and the others are holding up? The scene dissolved again into the King's throne. There sat King Yama, Mujakina examined the King as if he was a statue.

"So you're the Heir of the Tsukiko clan, Mujakina Tsukiko. The one of the two children that Izayoi adopted." He said leaning over Mujakina.

"Yes, father she is. She's a stubborn one too. Like Yuzuki…" The young Heir looks up at the prince then to the king.

"Why did you bring her here? Did she accept?"

"No, Father. I told you she's a stubborn one." Koenma said rubbing his temples.

"Why can't she accept my son? What's the meaning of this?" The king voiced rumbled the castle walls, Mujakina just stood there helplessly.

"She said she'll become a watcher, will you confirm this?" Koenma asked his father, the king stared at the young Heir for a moment then he parted his lips.

"Will you take this risk Tsukiko? will you face the corruption of the earth, are you ready to abandon your innocence and shed blood, ?" The king asked Mujakina, she nodded eagerly and stood straight.

"You will become a watcher, in one condition…"

"Name it." Mujakina said.

"You'll change your identity, you'll be safe that way, disguise yourself as a young man. You can guard the moonstone if you want but do not reveal your identity to others or else you'll have to come back and stay here for the rest of your life. You won't be able to get out." The king said as Mujakina nodded, Koenma look down at the child with a painful expression on his eyes.

Koenma already knew what risks and pain I will take, this wasn't easy. Now that I'm involved in Yusuke's missions, I'm stuck with the detective.

Later on the scene changed, I went back to the spirit world with Genkai watching me enter the temple but I returned as a boy. I explained my tasks to Genkai and then-

"You little shit!" She slapped Mujakina hard on the face, my head tilted to the side from her impact. She turned away from me and faced the garden.

"You know what danger you've just accepted?!In a day you'll be chopped to pieces because of your stupidity, I told you not to trust what Koenma's going to say! Instead you took the damn quest and look at you! I'm supposed to watch over you!" Genkai scolded my younger self; my once long hair was cut off. And my kimono was changed into a white Haori and blue Hakama.

"Master Genkai, this is my choice. It's mine to keep." My younger self told Genkai who's face flared up, she was about to slap Mujakina but instead she ran her ran but her/his hair and faded into a smirk.

"Damn you kid, you really a Tsukiko. Yuzuki…" Genkai said to the child who enjoyed her affection.

"Master, my name is not Mujakina anymore." Mujakina said when Genkai parted from her.

"What is it now?" Genkai asked the child.

"It's Tsume Gekko."

Mujakina

Tsume!

Tsume!

TSUME! GET THE FUCK UP AND HELP ME OVER HERE!

"TSUME HELP ME!" That voice sounded like Kuwabara, Kuwabara?!

My eye fluttered open; Yusuke's face was the first thing I saw from my dream. Then I scanned the area, the place look like hell. Then after scanning my eye caught Kuwabara dangling, my fists collided on Yusuke's cheek and jumped to where Kuwabara was dangling. I pulled him up then went back to the others.

"Well it seems that the watch dog's okay now." The jagan user said to me, Yusuke sped up in front of me then grabbed my collar.

"What the hell was that for?!" Yusuke asked me violently.

"You just left Kuwabara there, he was calling for help. I made a guess that you left Kuwabara there." I said, Yusuke was about to punch me but I block his attack, and then I back handed him.

"Listen, we didn't come here to fight each other Detective, we should move." I suggested to all of them, Hiei nodded.

We took the stairs and entered the room, our eyes widened when we said a place filled with metal doors.

"What?! You've got to be kidding me!" Yusuke complained, I flinched again for a while. It seems that the curse is still here in my wounds.

"It seems we've found the maze in maze castle." The jagan user said while looking around, Kuwabara stepped forward and placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Thanks for saving Tsume." He thanked as I nodded.

"We must beware, there something here. It's a legend." Kurama said while staring at the doors, Yusuke turned his head to the Kitsune with curiosity.

"So, what's the legend all about?" Yusuke asked Kurama.

"In the beginning, before the barrier wall was erected to the city, hundreds of bounty hunters were scouting looking for the saint beats. None succeeded but the beasts never left the tower, letting anyone enter the castle forfeit their lives inside the maze. There are fifteen door and one of them might be a trap. Are fate is sealed whenever we enter any door here." Kurama Explained the story, Botan would tell me stories like this when I was just a kid.

I wonder which door leads to the next saint beasts

"Kuwabara, what's wrong?" I asked the redhead who was examining each door.

"Okay Mr. Sensitive this one's yours." Yusuke said to Kuwabara.

"The door on the Second left." Kuwabara said as I followed his pointer, yes it might be.

" How do we know we're not making a mistake." Hiei asked.

"Well, you have to trust him." I said bluntly, the jagan user snorted at my answer, I ignore him for a while and focused on the mission.

"As a demon, I don't 'trust' anyone, even you Kitsune." Hiei said as I just sighed and ignored his reply, we all walked through the dark tunnel until we reached a door with two dragons at each side of the blue door.

"Are we supposed to be scared?" Hiei asked sarcastically to us, I just smirked at the door as if it was a huge joke, if they want to scare us they have to do it better.

"This is the Mark of the Blue Dragon, and judging from the odor the beast is inside." Kurama said.

"Yeah, he doesn't feel very nice." Kuwabara said feeling uncomfortable, I pushed the doors open. When we entered the room a huge amount of energy was swirling around the room, fog appeared the room and Kuwabara started shivering. He stared at for a while and pointed at my Jacket.

"H-Hey Tsume, pal, c-could you lend me y-your h-hoodie?" He asked, I slowly turned my head to him and gave him a death glare.

"Uh, never mind! " He said waving his hand.

"You have done well for coming here this far, but I will no longer let you disgrace my master." A deep demonic voice echoed the room.

"Come out!" I shouted, I lurched again feeling the curse getting more painful than before. The voice laughed hard, Kurama went to my side and grabbed me by my arms.

"Tsume!" Yusuke screamed my name, Kuwabara also went to my side and slowly sat me on the ground with my back leaned on the wall near Kuwabara.

"It seems Masanori did a good job." The voice said and roared a laughed.

"Come out now Dragon!" Yusuke ordered the saint beasts, the demon revealed his self. He was wearing a blue Chinese armor and had black spiky hair; he was huge too like a giant.

"My name is Seiryu, I am here to end your lives now Intruders!" He threatened us; my wounds are getting worse again.

"I guess we have a guest." Seiryu said, we all turned our head and saw someone unexpected.

"It can't-be."

Byakko was crawling his way to Seiryu, helpless and weak.

"Please Seiryu, these cowards; trick me on my own lair. They revealed their true powers from me until the end. Please help me!" The White Tiger pleaded to the so called blue dragon.

"Weakling how dare you dishonor our master like this?!" Seiryu exclaimed in anger, man…

"You are no longer wanted here, be gone! ICE DRAGON!" Seiryu said, ice forming in his hands.

"No Seiryu please! Let me help you kill them!" Byakko beg at the blue dragon, his body froze when Seiryu hit him with his ice powers.

Byakko was all but a Tiger sculpture; he jumped in the air and sliced his head off. I watch as his friend's head roll in the ground, a tear slid down his face. My eye widened when he did this to his own friend.

"Seiryu…." Byakko's head muttered his name one last time; it's like how Shinji betrayed me. I shot my head up at the blue dragon in anger and growled at him.

"You bastard!" Yusuke roared in anger.

"How can you do this to your comrades? Your friends?! You have no care or them?!" I asked the Blue dragon, he laughed hard and I gritted my teeth.

"Friend? He's no friend. He was a mere tool, a weapon but we don't need someone who'll just disgrace my Master. Like a rotten sword, I have to throw him away." Seiryu said while eyeing.

"Then you have no HONOR!" I shouted at him like a furious animal, Kuwabara stared at me with sadness in his eyes.

"Someday you will experience it; someday…Prince Koenma will just throw you away when he was no use for you Tsume Gekko, Put that in your head." How could he?!

"SHUT UP ASSHOLE!" Yusuke screamed him, he was about run up to the blue Dragon but Hiei stepped in his way.

"Save your anger, you may kill the leader but this one's mine." Hiei said to the detective.

"Ah Hiei so you'll be the first?" Seiryu asked with a devilish grin, the Jagan user removed his black cloak it landed where Byakko's head is located. I stared at the Jagan user and my eye softened at him.

"What was that? Don't tell me you have sympathy for this amateur. I thought in the gate of betrayal you have the warrior spirit in you." Seiryu mocked the Jagan user,

The blue dragon unleashed his powers and aimed it at Hiei, the jagan user made a barrier and it passed through him into twos, the four of us gasped in the immense power and coldness of the blue dragon's technique.

"Hey! Be careful!" Kuwabara screamed at Hiei, I look up at the hole that the blue Dragon made, it was just an inch from my head, sighed in relief and thanked the gods I didn't hit it.

"That was close" I muttered to myself and returned my attention to the fight.

"Try blocking this! Ice dragon!" Seiryu fire at Hiei, who jumped over Seiryu. The jagan user jumped away from every attack that the blue dragon made. I was amazed at Hiei's speed.

"He's going to turn the room into an ice rink." Yusuke said to us, Kuwabara started shivering violently. Then he's head shot down to me and gave a sympathetic smile.

"Tsume? C-can you-"

"No" I said looking away from the redhead.

"Hiei! " Kurama screamed his friend's name, my eye widened in horror when I noticed the jagan user's leg frozen. He landed on the ground carefully. We all sighed in relief when his leg didn't shatter into pieces.

"He's okay, don't scare us like that!" Kuwabara exclaimed the jagan user.

"Not that, Hiei won't be able to escape. " Kurama said with a fearful expression.

"You see, there no escape here. Only beg for mercy." Seiryu said with pride, the saint beast charged up his power. The Jagan user slammed the tip of his sword on the ground and ran up to the blue dragon, we all gasped when Hiei's arm and leg was frozen.

"Hah! You have escaped. But you're all wounded like your watch dog friend over there." He said as the jagan user laughed.

"Why are you laughing?!" Seiryu asked the jagan user who stood up and sowed his frozen arm.

"Your friend may have been killed with your technique but this won't kill me." Hiei said as the ice on his arm and legs melted. My jaw dropped when that happened.

"Impossible! I shall kill you with one final blow!" Seiryu said as blood ran on his forehead, the blue dragon gasped in pain. In a second he shattered to pieces.

They all ran up to Hiei and congratulated him; I slowly stood up and went over to Byakko's head. I kneeled down and closed my eye. It was a traditional farewell and prayer.

Byakko's head was still frozen with a frightened look on his face, even though he was the enemy I still feel sorry for him because he was betrayed like me. I saw Shinji in Seiryu when he killed Byakko. Hiei took his cloak from the head. The White tiger's head turned to dust and disappeared.

I clapped both my hands in prayer and respectfully bowed my head for my last farewell. The redhead went to my side and pulled me up gently by my arm. I gave Kuwabara a pat on his shoulder and thanked him for his help.

Now we have to deal with the leader, I hope we'll be able to finish this soon enough.

~ Suzaku's P.O.V. ~

I smash the crystal ball in anger, those fools failed! They weren't able to kill those intruders, fools! Masanori may have failed but he was able to curse that Gekko child. Any time soon he'll perish.

"These ceases the entertainment, those nothings are ruining my plans!" I said in shame, a fluttering sound echoed the room.

"Suzaku, I'm back." The bird said as I groaned.

"What is it?" I asked the bird.

"You sound so gloomy; guess I don't need to ask if the guests are here." The annoying bird said as I rolled my eyes.

"That's true Muruku, now go away. I don't need you here." I said turning away from the bird.

"Not just yet, I've gathered information about Yusuke Urameshi's weakness." The bird informed me as I turned to her with interest.

"It turns out that our boy over here has a few friends, but the one with great weakness here is a girl named Keiko Yukimura. She's very close to his heart, very very close." A picture of a teenage girl wearing a sailor blue uniform popped out of the screen, she has the face and all.

"She is very pretty." I complemented the girl's beauty.

"I suppose so; he'll do anything to save her."

~ Tsume's P.O.V. ~

The body lurched in pain when the curse tormented my wounds, sweat ran down from my forehead and my wounds started to bleed again. Kuwabara pulled my arm to his shoulder when I tripped over to the ground; Kurama went to my side and pulled my sleeve up to shoulder. To my surprised the both of us gasped when we noticed the 'noroi' symbols on my shoulder and arm are turning black.

Yusuke kneeled on my side and took my arm, his eyes has a hint of sympathy on my wounds. My face cringes in pain when the curse added more pain than ever before.

"What's happening?!" Yusuke asked as he placed his hands on my shoulders, Kuwabara's face melted into fear.

"The curse is taking its toll, less than an hour Tsume might die. This is bad." Kurama said taking out a healing plant and placed it on my wounds, he gasped when it turned to dust and he bit his lower lip.

"Normal healing techniques won't save him either." The Kitsune said with sadness on his tone.

"So what happens if the wounds get worse?" Kuwabara asked the Kitsune, Kurama closed his eyes and sighed.

"Then he dies, there won't be any hope saving him." The Jagan user said as I groaned in pain, Kuwabara stood up and tried to punch Hiei, he moved away from the attack then Kuwabara clenched his fist.

"So what?! We let him die?! I don't think so!" Kuwabara sarcastically asked the jagan user, Hiei huffed and watch as I cringed again pain.

"We need an expert healer to revert the curse." Kurama said as he placed his hand on my forehead, my whole body started to become cold and my vision suddenly began blurry.

Lady Izayoi I'm sorry

"Tsume, don't sleep okay?! Don't close your eyes!" Kurama ordered me, dark spots we're already clouding my vision. And blood ran down from my ski and soaked my red Hoodie.

Lady Izayoi I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry

I'm so sorry

It's not your fault!

It is her fault!

No!

Yes!

No!

Yes!

It's my fault, I couldn't save her. I was a coward; I deserve to atone for my sins.

"Tsume!" Yusuke screamed my name; I opened my eyes and smiled weakly at the detective.

"I'm not sleeping. Don't worry about me we should worry about the whistle. " I noted to the detective as he grabbed my collar, Kuwabara and the Kitsune gasped when Yusuke pulled me from Kurama's grasp.

"Urameshi stop that!" Kuwabara scolded the detective, Yusuke suddenly punched me and my face is tilted to the side.

"Yusuke-"

"Listen you stupid ass! You've been telling me to worry about the whistle? Well guess what buddy?! I'm going to shove my fucking fist inside your throat! Those punks over there are worrying over your health but then you tell us to forget you and throw away your life for a stupid fucking whistle?! Damn you, Damn you to hell! You're human you son of a bitch get real! I don't care if we have to kill the bad guy or save a damsel in distress! Think about your fucking health first! GET REAL YOU ASSHOLE! ALL THIS TIME YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE OKAY BUT YOU'RE NOT!" I just stared at him for a moment with my usual blank expression, he raised his fist again, I was ready for any hit he would give me. But nothing collided my cheek or jaw, he pushed me away into Kuwabara's arms and I watch the detective turn from me.

"I always wanted to do that ever since you pissed me off, why don't you care about your health anyway? We can't go on like this you know." Yusuke said softly, I examined the room.

"Listen Spirit Detective, if we waste more time, a lot of people will die. We need to keep moving." I said to him as he turned his head slowly to me with his pissed off loom on his face.

"You're really hopeless aren't you?" The detective asked me, I then look away from him and Kuwabara lifted me by my arm. My senses failed and darkness took me to dream land.

~ Masanori's P.O.V. ~

I laugh at the sight of the Gekko boy's suffering, just like a dying dog he is. Right beside me was Shinji who stared at the screen with a blank stare.

"What's so funny about it Masanori?" The former Tsukiko family member asked me bluntly, I grinned at him.

"Why? Doesn't it amuse you Shinji my boy?" I asked childishly, I snickered at him. Shinji stood up from his seat and slid the door open.

"Where are you going Shinji?" I asked him turning my head,.

"Hunting, I'm not interested watching those things. It's not my taste." He said while leaving me all alone in the house.

I turn my attention back to the Gekko boy and snickered at his unconscious form.

~ End~
