``````````````````````````The next day, two people walked into Koenma's office. "Mangetsuko, Miyancha. Arigato for coming." Miyancha this time looked very different. She had a big black mark on her face that looked like a mask that a tanuki would have. She had black and white tanuki ears showing. Her tail which she always had in either form. She normally hid, was now showing. It was an average tanuki tail. She had long nails much like a tanuki. "Well Koenma, lets get to business shall we?" the toddler nodded. "Well like I said, Yusuke and the boys are going to Makai, because there is a youkai there that is going to cause a few problems. He's got a few partners that come form Ningenkai so. I want you two to look after them. Take out enemies that come from behind." The two nodded. "Of course Koenma." Koenma sighed gratefully. "When shall they be leaving?" Miyancha asked. "Either tomorrow or the day after." The two nodded and left. "This is going to be easy." Miyancha said, while Mangetsuko nodded. When Mangetsuko got home, she began to write a letter to Yukina.
Miyancha and Mangetsuko followed and watched the group. Finally it was the day of the mission. Miyancha wore black pants with black shoes, along with a blue-purple shirt that exposed her tattoo. It had Japanese characters which spelled out raccoon. It had flames, a flower, and was many colors. She carried a sword in the same place that Hiei did, but it was a very different type of sword. She was in her youkai form. Mangetsuko watched with Miyancha. She wore a red trench coat, and a cream like tank top. Her belly was exposed. She wore black just like Miyancha. "Well this is going to be fun." The tanuki said to the nigen. "Well lets get going." Mangetsuko said. The two followed behind. But not too close, for Kurama to smell them.
They traveled for a little while. "Shit, look over there." Mangetsuko pointed out to the tanuki. Miyancha looked over to see a small legion of youkai following. "I'll take care of them." Miyancha said. Thus she summoned the Fyyouka Shokubutsu. The tentacles of the plant grabbed her sword. She flew down to the youkai and quickly slaughtered them. "That was fun." She said as she went back up, and dismissed the plant. "Ikimashou!" They followed them for a long time with out youkai trying to gang upon them. Mangetsuko knew there was more to come. Dark was soon upon them. "Yusuke, we should rest." Kurama said. "Yeah it's getting dark." Yusuke mumbled. They sat down and started a fire. "Well they are resting for the night. One of us should keep watch and take turns." Mangetsuko suggested and Miyancha agreed. "You get some sleep. I'll take the first watch." Mangetsuko shrugged. "Okay tanuki." She laid down and closed her eyes falling asleep quickly. Remembering what Ruri had told her along time ago.
Mangetsuko was sitting in her room, that was offered. Suddenly a light haired woman came in. "Hello, I'm Ruri friend of Hina. Please follow me." Ruri threw a jacket over to the young girl. She put it on and followed. She followed Ruri out to a cliff. "This is where, I threw Hina's son." Ruri admitted. "Nani? I thought Ice maidens couldn't have…" Ruri stopped her. "I know they are not suppose to, but Hina did. They called him the forbidden child. They thought he would destroy our lives. So I had to throw him off this cliff. But I told him to survive and come back and kill me. I then gave him the tear gem, that she shed while giving birth to him." Mangetsuko held her breath. "So she wants me to find him?" Ruri nodded. "Hai, she wants you to look for her son. And to reunite Yukina with her brother. I will eventually tell her the truth." Mangetsuko closed her eyes. "Tell her that I will do this." Ruri nodded. "Arigato."
She woke up to Miyancha shaking her. "Alright." she mumbled. She waited for Miyancha to fall asleep. "ara… Hiei." She sat on the edge of the rock. Watching the group. Everyone was asleep. "Well at least their sleeping." She leaned against a rock. I guess my end I nigh. She thought. She sat there thinking about that old hag. Her prediction was coming true. It was eerie. Mangetsuko was wondering how long she had slept for. She felt some youkai coming upon the sleeping shonen's. "I better take care of them." She held her hand to the direction where the youkai's were. "Yume Jigoku no Torisashi" As she said those words. A dream catcher lightly shown. "Shi ne." She chuckled as they were hearing screams of agony. The screaming even awoke Miyancha and everyone else. "What the hell?!" Yusuke grumbled. "It seems that people are screaming in extreme pain." Kurama said. "Well we can't sleep with that racket!" Kuwabara shouted. "Hn." Hiei responded. As sudden as the screaming started, it stopped. "Finally their dead." Mangetsuko mumbled. "Itai my ears." Miyancha whined. "Oh go back to sleep." Miyancha did just that as did the shonen's. Hours passed and the shonen's woke up a bit after mornings first light. "Get up tanuki. Their on the move." Miyancha instantly woke up with that.
They let the Shonen's get farther ahead. "I think the leader is not too far away." They hopped from rock to rock that were above Yusuke's group. "Well at least we got their backs." Mangetsuko nodded. After they traveled for awhile. "Look it's the main enemy!" The two shoujo's watched from the rocks as the four shonen's were fighting. Yusuke had transformed into his youkai form. He lost his shirt his hair grew out, it went to his feet now. Yusuke now had purple body tattoo's. Kurama still retained his human form. As did Hiei, but had sheathed his katana. Kuwabara had his Rei ken out. The leader had four people before him. Each of the shonen's had someone to take on. Kuwabara was the one who had the hardest time. Kurama didn't even have to turn into his youkai form. "Alright, now it's your turn." Yusuke said to the leader. Who was a large youkai, he only smirked. And the youkai was also very ugly. The four were working together and were knocking at the youkai.
Mangetsuko looked around. She saw a second youkai leering about. "Miyancha…" The tanuki looked over. "Arigato… for being a good friend to me." Miyancha didn't know what to say. Mangetsuko then jumped off. "Matte!" She shouted. But it was too late. The second youkai came and ran at Hiei. Hiei didn't have enough time to run away from the charging sword. Hiei felt himself get pushed over. "What the…" He began as he opened his eyes. He saw her with the sword right threw her. She showed n pain, she looked darkly as the blood flowed from her wound staining her skin, and pants. Miyancha's eyes turned a vibrant yellow. She appeared from the rock tower screaming. "Shi ne!! come forth Shokuyou butsu!" Kurama was shocked. The tree at him, blood was strung everywhere on the ground and on the trees and many others.
Miyancha went to her friend. "Onegai, Shinanaide!" Kurama turned and took out a seed, he then attached it to the youkai. He waited a short time before he fed the Janen Ju with his energy. "Sayonara." Thus the youkai will have evil thoughts and die soon. The four ran to the wounded Nigen. "What the hell?" Yusuke asked. "Gomen ne…." She mumbled. "What are you two doing here?" Kuwabara asked. The tanuki spoke. "Koenma assigned us to look after you four.. To be your back up. Why do you think those youkai screamed." Hiei noticed that Mangetsuko was still calm. "Yes, taking this mission was my death. I knew that before I even accepted the mission. Ara…" She reached into her coat and grabbed a letter with her bloody hand. "Kurama when you see Yukina-chan, please give this to her." She held out the letter. Kurama took it. "I will." Mangetsuko smiled. She saw Hiei looking at her. She smiled more sweetly and touched his face with her bloody hand. "Onegai, don't look at me like that." Her hand fell slack as she whispered "Sayonara mina." She then died the last thought on her mind was Gomen ne Hiei… This is the only way I know how to say… Aishiteru…
