Just A Shadow

"She is a Goddess." Genkai informed taking a sip of tea and setting it down, staring in amusement at the shocked look she resieved from Sisco. "Goddess of Death." Genkai said, nodding. Sisco looked amazed, horrifed and disappointed all at once.

"Nani?" she asked blinking. "How?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~*~

"Kurama?"

"Hmmm?"

"Do you remember where I left my katana...?"

"Iie..." Kurama looked at the shorter demon with a surprised look, "I thought you did..."

Hiei cursed under his breath looking around. "I'm tempted to use my Jagan..."

"Hiei...let me remind thy, that we are in a the ningenkai."

"Hn.." Hiei gestured with a nod towards a building. "It was that way, if I remember correctly." Kurama nodded and the two shifted their direction towards a large building. Hiei tensed suddenly, eye's narrowing. "We're being followed." he said, quietly, under his breath. Kurama nodded and shoved his hands in his pockets, walking casually.

Suddenly a woman appeared infront of them, she had long black hair, blue purple eyes and was clothed in black garments. She looked at them with a pitiful look then in her hand, flashed a silver doubled sided sword. Her eye's narrowed with hate on them. "No one takes from me what is mine." she hissed.

"Hn.." Hiei snorted, smirking slightly. "Now what did we take from you."

"Dear child, it is what *you* have taken from me. The other boy has nothing to do with this. Now you, Mr. Hiei, you shall pay death for what you have done." She lunged forward without another word, her blade slicing into Hiei's chest. Hiei cried out in surprise leaping back and reaching for his katana, the reality of knowing it was gone suddenly hit him and he growled, grinding his teeth togeather. Searching for the woman with his crimson eyes.

"Sisco, I wan't you to listen, and listen well." Genkai said, her voice demanding. Sisco nodded dumbly. "Your mother, her name was..."

"Shrain..." Sisco said.

"Shrain..yes...she is not the same woman she was before, Sisco. Let me tell you of what has happened to her...hunderds of years ago, when you were fifteen, Sisco, your mother wen't to seek out your father, Vince." Sisco stared at her.

"How do you know this?" she asked. Genkai smirked.

"I have my ways." she said, then her face darkend. "Now, Sisco, let me finish what I am saying.."

"Crazy old hag.." Yuusuke muttered. Genkai sen't him a icy glare, silencing him.

"Your mother had to travel threw the most darkest parts of Maki to get to him. Even as a Shadow demon she had her diffucties. She was still in love with Vince, even though their races forbidded them to be lovers. She wen't to seek Vince in his castle, silently, sticking to the shadows, so not to be seen. She was able to find his room, but only to find a bloody mess of your fathers mangled body."

Sisco's eye's widend in horror, picturing her father. A tall Elf with icy blue hair, with warm ice blue eye's and a lean build. A youthful face and always clad in white or light blue. Caring and friendly. Sisco remembered how devestated he had been when he had to bid farewell to his daughter and the one he loved.

"Sisco." Genkai said softly. The half Elf looked at the old woman, blinking away her tears. "Your mother wen't crazy at that. And she killed every single person in that castle. Everyone man, woman and child." Genkai said darkly. Sisco's eye's widen farther and she shook her head.

"Iie! My mother would never do something like that!" she cried, jumping to her feet. "You lie to me, I know you do!" she screamed. Yukina took Sisco's hand gently, sitting down next to her. Sisco sat down to, staring in disbelif at Genkai.

"Listen to me, Sisco." Genkai said, closing her eye's. "Your mother wen't insane. She continued back to you, killing every creatour in her path. She stumbled upon a temple. It was a temple that held the spirit of death. It had been awaiting someone to posses so it could watch over both Maki and the ningenkai once again. Your mother broke the barrier and entered the temple.

The Gods and Goddesses told her of her crimes that she had committed, bringing your mother back to her sences. Your mother begged them to forgive her and they cursed her. They cursed her to be the Goddess of Death and watch over the demons and humans. They told her she could not take care of you anymore. Sisco, your mother grew bitter at that, and cold. She still holds the urge to shed blood for the loved one's she has lost." Genkai opened her eye's to stare at Sisco. "And she has come to seek revenge on the person who has taken from her what she could not have." she smiled bitterly. "She has come to kill him." she closed her eyes. "And there is nothing we can do for him."

"What..?" Sisco asked confused. "Who, why at where?"

"She could not have you, Sisco. She could never bring herself to hold you in her arms ever again and tell her of the sin's she's done. But...Hiei.." Genkai shook her head, "Hiei could, and she hates him for that." Genkai looked straight into Sisco's purple eye's. "And now she will kill him."

"Nani, iie!" Sisco cried, jumping to her feet and sprinting out of the temple. Yuusuke and Kuwabara close behind.

Hiei dodged another one of her attack's rolling away and crouching, death glaring her. She smiled wickedly, "Can you stare down death itself?" she asked, running a finger down the her blade, drawing blood. She smirked, "You took my daughter from me." she hissed. Hiei stared blankly at her...

'Daughter? I'm not understanding this..' Kurama thought. He reached up, ready to pull a seed from his hair.

"Now dear child." Shrain hissed, turning to the kitsune. She waved her hand and Kurama let out a cry of pain as he felt a icy chill warp around him, squeezing him tightly. Breathing became hard for him and all he could do then was consentrate on letting the air come into his lungs. "You will not interfer." she grinned.

"Leave him alone, damn you!" Hiei growled. (Okay some of these attacks I give Hiei, he probally can't do, but I personlly think most of his attacks are kind of boring, expecially since he dosn't have his katana right now...and he can't use his Black Dragon wave of destruction..well..because I said he can't...so I'll make up a few moves for him..) Hiei created a fireball in his hand a sent it speeding towards Shrain. The woman chuckled and waved her hand and the fire faded away before even touching her.

Kurama let out another cry of pain as he felt the invisble force of cold wrap tighter around his body. Hiei hissed at Shrain, "Damn it you said it's me your after, leave Kurama alone!" Hiei lunged towards her his fist flaming with fire. Shrain smirked, turning to him and letting her arms fall to her sides. Hiei appeared behind her punching her with as much strenght as he could muster. But before the flames touched her...they wen't out. Hiei blinked in surprise. His fist connected with the back over her head and he felt a chilling wave of nausea sweep threw him.

He fell to the ground clutching his stomach. Shrain turned to him laughing.

"You cannot strike death itself." she hissed, smirking. "You are helpless, and you will die." she looked at Kurama who was still fighting the urge to scream in pain, his eye's were closed tightly and sweat was rolling down his face from all the consentration he had put in to keeping himself breathing. "Too bad your friend had to be pulled into this." she said smirking. "But I pity you, Youko Kurama."

Kurama opened one emerald eye to stare at her, wincing in pain. His vision was beginning to fade and all he could think about, was what would happen to his mother when he died..and...what about all these ningen's who were watching them?

Shrain let out a icy laugh, "Do not worry, Youko." she said smiling. "They cannot see us." Kurama winced letting in a gasp of air. He looked at Hiei who was crouched down, fully recovered from the nausea that had swept over him. He was moving away from her..he was fleeing..leaving him there to die. Kurama growled, shutting his eye's tightly.
