Chapter 8 Back Again

"What do you mean 'Even if it's me and Mayline'?" Kylie asked as she struggled against the vines. "You'll see. It's a little something that I've learned while looking for you two. I do have to say that you three hid yourselves very well. I would've never guessed that you would be living in the Ningenkai. Very smart, but it will cost you your lives," Machete laughed. "Yeah right. Kylie, I think it's time we show them who they're dealing with," Miko said. Kylie nodded and concentrated on gathering up her energy. Machete stopped laughing as he felt Kylie's ki increase dramatically. The hooded figures had no reacting at all. Machete covered his face as a blinding light came from Kylie. The vines crumbled around them and died. "If you had done your homework the right way, Machete, you'd know that I also can control plants," Kylie said as the light died down. Machete laughed evilly. "I knew that you'd get stronger. Now it will be more interesting. Go my puppets and destroy them," Machete yelled. Kylie and Miko prepared themselves as the two figures came at them.

Yuusuke ran and ran up the stairs until he entered the room in which the leader of the saint beasts was hiding. He looked up and saw a huge screen. It was split in two. One side showed Keiko and Botan running from the insect inflicted people while the other side showed Kylie and Miko fighting two other people with Machete in the background laughing. The demon began to play the whistle. "Put that thing down," Yuusuke said. "My, my, so nice to finally meet you in person after watching you attempt to ruin my plans for so long. My name is Suzaku, leader of the Saint Beasts." A green bird with purple hair landed on his shoulder: "And I am his dear Murrugu." "I've been watching your friends. It's so strange how Humans resemble animals when they are being hunted down," Suzaku said. "Call of your zombies and Machete and I'll only rip out one of your lungs," Yuusuke said. "And if I refuse?" Suzaku asked. "Then hold your freakin breath," Yuusuke yelled.

While Yuusuke fought Suzaku and Kylie and Miko fought Machete and his 'puppets', Kurama and the others were taking care of the 'veggie-heads'. "How are we going to get through all of these guys? They just keep coming," Kuwabara said. "I'm not going to give up just yet," Kurama said. "Who said anything about giving up?" Kuwabara said as he charged at another cultivated human. Just as he was about to punch it, something was thrown at it. It was Miko. "Oh man. That hurt. Ok, now you're dead." Miko charged at the shorter hooded figure, but he disappeared. "What the." The figure appeared right behind her and knocked her to the ground. "Miko!" Kurama yelled. The person then charged at her but was hit back by a whip. Kuwabara and Hiei looked at Kurama. "It wasn't me."

They looked back at the battle and saw Kylie with the whip in her hand. "I don't believe it. Kylie is a demon as well!?" Kuwabara yelled. "I won't let you anywhere near her Paprika," Kylie yelled. The hooded figure, now know as Paprika, looked at her. "That's right. I know who you are. You are being controlled by Machete. Fight it. Don't let him control you any longer." "You poor pathetic fool. Don't you see that she can't fight it? She's too weak," Machete laughed. "We'll see about that," Kylie said as she readied her rose whip.

"You should feel honored, Yuusuke. Not everyone's girlfriend gets to stare in a horror movie. Although, the movies in this city are somewhat different. Demons don't care much for happy endings," Suzaku said. "Damn you," Yuusuke yelled as he charged at Suzaku. 'He's fast.' Suzaku thought as he watched Yuusuke charge at him. Yuusuke began to punch him, but Suzaku blocked every attack with one hand. 'He's very fast.' Suzaku took to the air as Yuusuke sent a hard punch at him and missed. "Bad choice. Funny thing about hanging in the air, it's really hard to dodge," Yuusuke yelled as he gathered his spirit energy. "SPIRIT GUN!" Suzaku waited for the attack before punching it into another direction. "No way. Six miserable months with that old hag and my spirit gun still gets deflected. This isn't good," Yuusuke said as Suzaku landed. "Well done, human. You actually made my hand numb with that last attack. It's a good thing you can't hit me or I'd be in a little bit of trouble," Suzaku said as he blew the smoke off his hand.

"Miko, who's Paprika?" Kuwabara asked. "You don't want to know," Miko answered as she watched Kylie and Paprika fight. Kylie was doing pretty well against her, but then things took a turn for the worst. Paprika knocked Kylie into the wall and gathered a large amount of energy. "Oh shit," Miko said. Paprika shot a large amount of energy at Kylie, which caused a huge explosion. The cultivated humans were destroyed and Miko went flying over the edge of the wall and to the ground. Soon, no one could hear her screams. Kylie was badly injured and lying unconscious on the cold floor. The guys were alright for the most part. Machete laughed as Paprika landed in front of Kylie and took out a sword. The guys watched as Paprika raised the sword above her head. She was about to attack when all of the sudden she went flying. Some one landed in her place with Miko next to her. "Nice to see you again, Machete." It was Mayline. "She's alive," Kurama said. Hiei's eyes went slightly wide, and Kuwabara's jaw dropped. "But this can't be. You're dead," Machete said. "That's right, but I found that I can't sleep in peace when I still haven't taken my revenge on you yet," Mayline said with a smirk.





Who is Paprika and how does Kylie know her? And what about the other person? Who is he and does Kylie know him? Find out in the next chapter of Meet the Virgin Theifes.

Mayline is back and she wants revenge. I knew that Mayline's death would throw you off, but now I have given you a second clue. I thank all of you who have tried but no one has gotten it yet. You still have time so keep guessing.
