Chapter 3- Silence

------Sapphire stood naked in a square small pool indoors. Made of tan smooth stone. The water up to her knees about as she bathed herself. Running a damp rag up her opposite upper arm. Suds running in streams down her skin as she did. A fountain was to her left sense shewas standing in the batth sideways facing to the right. The fountain running from a stone demon's mouth in the wall into the water gently. Around the square which was big enough to be a hot tub were candles. All lit, most different sizes except for an opening infront where you would walk over and get in. Where she most likely did anyway. Nothing could be heard but water flowing, dripping now and then from her, and her humming. Like a child she hummed. The same one she did when she was Naomi at that. Ofcourse looking at her, she made it seem demonic now. "Sapphire." A voice said and she stopped humming. She paused and looked in the direction it came. From the front of the pool, and walked out from the shadows was Hiei with his hands in his pockets, shirtless. Sapphire blinked, letting the rag hang at her side.

"Yes master Hiei?"

"Your voice soothes me. Did you know that?" He said, she knowing that was not what he came for.

"Thank you." Sapphire said and waded gently to the edge of the pool and stood staring at him. "What is wrong?" In a second her chin was in his strong hand and his lips against hers. She, never minding this abruptness, and infact enjoyed how he never seemed to show when he was going to do it. Backing off just a little to stare in her eyes. His expression passionate, deep, and scary at the same time.

"We're going back to the earth."

..::Later in the human world::..

------A young man sat in town outside a restaurant. He leaned back in his chair, with the front legs off the cement ground. He wore a white t-shirt, that was a little see through the buttons un done with a white beader under it, faded baggy jeans that were a little tight on the ass. His hair brown and his bangs spiked mostly over his left eye, both of them green like emeralds, his skin tan. He looked around cooly when something caught his eye... There stood Sapphire talking on a cell phone. She wore wore a tight black t-shirt, a blue jean skirt so tight it had to stretch, it was a little faded on front over her legs and on the back as well did on purpose to make it look like she already wore it when she put it on. Almost to her knees were black boots with thick bottoms, and laces all the way up. He blinked watching her, she looked so gorgeous to him. Around her neck was a spiked collar, one of them had a loop hanging from it, for a leash. The strangest thing about her was. As he watched he saw she had a tail. He blinked and sat straight, letting the legs of the chair hit the ground. Looking around he saw no one else noticed it however. ~I'll be damned. It's her.~ He thought and she glanced at him, hearing his thoughts most likely. Before she could see him he sensed this and turned so it wouldn't seem he were staring. Shutting off her phone she was some how intrigued by him. Feeling power from this young enigma. "Hymmm." She made and started to cross the street. When she heard a scream shrill through the air. "The hell." Sapphire siad and looked around, her hair whipping. Forgeting she was standing in the middle of the road a car curved hitting her leg, still she didn't fall over, or notice it for a moment. The young man saw this from his chair with wide eyes and stood up. "Humph! Some manners you ningens have!" She said and slammed her fist on the roof of the car. She turned looking at an enormous creature, with bulky shoulders and contorted limbs staring down at her. "Still. That gives no reason to try and bloody run me over." She said like a snob to the people in the car as they got out and ran. Sapphire kicking the vehicle out of the way... "I see you've come to play." Sapphire said, putting her hands on her shapely hips and tilted her head at the monster.

"Play? No! I've come to kill you wretch." Her mouth dropped, surprised he had said this sarcastically.

"Ha!" She said. "No no no. You did not just say that." The monster sweat dropped and lifted a brow looking around.

"Wha--"

"Do you know who I am?"

"You look like a scrawny little bitch to me."

"Feh! Are ya that idiotic?" Someone said, and she turned to see the young man walking up with his arms crossed. He whipped his arm about and a sword came to it. The hole thing made of silver. He flipped it with a smirk. "She is the god of death." He said and the demon looked confused. As well as Sapphire. Her eyes. ~Either he's as old as I am or he does his reading.~ She thought and stood straight watching him. ~Wait...~ In a flash he was behind the demon and threw his sword down on it's skull. The demon wobbled about trying to get him off. Sapphire threw her hand out in a swipe, slicing the air and it fell down. The boy jumping into the air so he didn't fall with him. But landed on the ground as the thing burned to dust. Sapphire looked forward at him as his sword disappeared in a few. Spreading her feet she crossed her arms.

"I remember you now." A grin crossed his face.

"Hoping you would. Never thought someone as grande as you could forget a thing. However... I couldn't imagine you could be killed either." He said lifting a brow.

"Silencer." She hissed and her tail whipped behind her.

"Sapphire!!! Are you alright??~!!" Voices shouted. Mainly Yusuke's and she turned her arms un-crossing and her hair moving about as well. Hiei arriving at her side first. He lifted an eyebrow and looked at her. "Where is he?! Is this the demon!!!" Yusuke began again pointing his finger at him, ready to shoot his spirit gun.

"No!! I took care of that demon! This is another one."

"Then let me kill him damn it!" He yelled ahoving Kuwabara out of the way.

"Damn it Yusuke! I kno this demon! If you knew yer demons like you should. Spirit Detective. Then, you would know who the Silencer is!" She said pointing at the younger man.

"Silencer?" Kurama said.

"A demon angel. Known for *silencing* his enemies." Hiei said looking at him.

"Well, then how do you know him Sapphire?"

"Gee. I'm only centuies old Kuwabara. I met him on my killing spree." She said rolling her eyes.

"I'm on a bounty hunt for now. Only killing those who wish for death." He said putting his hands up. "Even more. I could never hope to challenge the God of death."

"God of death?" Yusuke asked lokign at Sapphire.

"When I was younger. Out of the six executioners of apocolypse, I was the bringer of death. So there for, I called myself the God of death." She said crossing her arms.

"What bounty are you searching for Silencer?" Kurama asked a little serious.

"Guy kidnapped a wondering Koorime. He's torturing her, stealing her tear gems. The ice maidens said they would pay me heftly if I were to rescue here for them." He said and shrugged his shoulders.

"Did they say they wished her return?" Hiei asked and Sapphire looked to him then the Silencer.

"Nah. They said she wouldn't come home they knew she wouldn't. They only wished she were alright. I brought proof of that and I would be paid."

"Very well." Hiei said walking off.

"Let's go then. Come now Trowa." Sapphire said. Hiei in the front for a moment glanced to his side where Sapphire was catching up to. He sensed a connection between her and this *Trowa* person.

"Hn."
