Keiko smiled down at the child-like Holly, which she had nicknamed Belle, "Want to play a game?"

Belle's eyes grew wide with anticipation, "What kind of game?"

"Well what games do you know?"

Belle looked bitten by this question, "I don't know any."

Unsure of how to respond to this Keiko laughed, "Oh come on I'm sure you know one."

Shacking her head Belle sighed, "Our grandmother never taught us any games, just how to fight and be stronger."

"Our grandmother? You mean Holly's grandmother," Keiko nodded in an attempt to understand.

Belle nodded as well, "Yes our grandmother." Just as Belle finished saying this there was an explosion just outside. Grabbing her knee, Belle cried in pain. "We are being attacked!" With a flash of light the bells separated and rushed toward the blast.

"Matte!" Keiko yelled after the bells too late and was forced to follow.

"Are you sure you know where we are going, Candycane?" Kuwabara groaned. "We've been walking around for hours and no one knows who we're talking about."

"She keeps moving," Kurama sighed. "And will you quit calling me that?"

Yuusuke grinned evilly, "What? Candycane?"

"Yes!" Kurama clentched a fist in irritation. Yes, he knew his hair was pink, and stripped with white like a candycane but geez!

"I could come up with something else I'm sure... there's the ears I could call you Elf. Or the tail I could call you Fuzzy..." Yusuke taunted, while Kuwabara laughed at the new nicknames that they could use against the kitsune.

"Enough," Hiei glowered.

Kurama rolled his eyes as the three others then started fighting. At least they were in good spirits... well except Hiei, one could hardly call him in 'good' anything. "Look guys I know she's been here but it's like she purposely walked in circles to confuse things."

"Does that mean she knows you can follow her?" Hiei asked ignoring the two teens.

"Maybe..." Kurama sighed as his tail swished in agitation. "It's hard to say for certain... she may have also done this if she had a physical follower... Koenma did say the Enma wants her dead... it wouldn't surprise me if we're not the only ones on this case."

"Hn." Hiei grunted.

Kurama smiled down at Hiei and before he realized what he was doing he latched onto the fire demon.

Hiei growled, "Baka! Do you want your ears to finish transforming? It'll be hard enough to explain the tail you got last night from sleeping next to Botan and Yukina!"

Kurama hurriedly stepped back blushing, "I'm sorry I can't help it! I hate it too, ok?"

Hiei winced, or at least it looked like it... no he had to be seeing things.

"Yo, Candycane? Isn't that the warehouse that I fought Hiei in originally?" Yuusuke pointed to the structure that they were heading toward.

"I- I think it is Yuusuke..." Kurama noted. "Isn't that ironic."

"Is this where she is then?" Kuwabara mumbled.

As if to answer his question, there was an explosion on the other side of the building.

"Keiko!" Yuusuke screamed before hurried as fast as he could toward the blast.

Holly cursed as she barely dodged the ki blast that left in crater where she had been standing. Her groceries now littered the ground, most not edible anymore. She stood to face her attacker, noteing regretfully that she must have also twisted her knee.

";And here I was thinking I'd lost you,;" she glared at the blonde American that stood in front of her.

";Ha! No one looses Ken Shields that easily!;" he laughed. ";Although I hadn't thought you'd be stupid enough to walk right into Enma's backyard.;"

";Then you misunderstand why I'm here,;" Holly's grinned up at the Spirit Detective evilly. ";Enma is exactly who I plan to fight. He will die for what he did to us... just like you.;"

Ken took a step back in fear as he saw the Sirine's eyes flash from silver to red. Suddenly her bells surrounded her and there was no time for Ken to think, only fight.

AN: So what do we all think? Have I confused anybody yet? Oh the power! lol Just kidding. I wasn't sure if I explained Holly well enough for this part to make sense so I'm just going to give a fast run down. Basicly Holly was abused for the four thousand years that she lived under her grandmother's thumb. This abuse caused a sort of 'berserker' mode that leaves Holly feeling only hate for the person(s) that caused this side of her to come out. So she sort of has a split personality and sort of doesn't. You could also think of her bells as extentions of these personalities as well because the bells came out of her body.

Anyway I hope to have the next chap up soon. But then again I don't know because, my sister is coming up from New Orleans to visit me (I live in the Seattle area). So it may be a while for the next one, please be patient and I will give you more fic I promise.

Like it? Hate it? Let me know!
