~A/N: Konnichiwa Minna-san. Hope everyone liked the last chap. Just between us, I wrote it during English, French II ((no Japanese at the school, otherwise I'd take that),and Algebra II ((That's right, Alg. II, and I'm only a sophomore)) and don't worry; there wasn't much work to do, so I didn't miss anything. Also, Kagoha ((K: ME !)) has permission to "pop up" from time to time((K: like now. :P)), so be prepared. My computer is still down, so you know. I have the money, but not the time. Soon though, hopefully. And what is this about Mira X Kurama((K:NO, MINE!!))? What do they have so much in common? ((K: I tell her what reviews she gets, if you were wondering.)) Any reason why? Not that there's anything wrong with it . . . but why him, why not Hiei? It's not a big deal yet though, because it won't start to show for a while. The only reason I'm putting this up is from boredom, though I wish I had had more reviews...And if anyone's interested, Kagoha and I are starting a weekly magazine for our area about anime, magic, music, games, sites, etc., and if anyone would like to help out, write to BladedreamD@yahoo.com, and put what you would like to write about, what you know about it, the name you plan on using, etc. Make the subject "Cool-lision; topic" or it might risk deletion.((K: ok the story now, no more a/n. It is very hard to read her handwriting. Her handwriting is this big. Can you read this? I think not! So bear with me.))
Chapter 9: The Jade Forest
~*~*~*~*~In the Middle of forest*~*~*~*~
"Where?" Yusuke asked Mira.
"... The Jade Forest. If we travel for a day, we should get there . . . maybe. I'd be totally out of my element, though." Mira said looking uncertainly in a northward direction.
"A day? We could get there faster." Kito said.
"No. The Jade Forest moves around. In about a day. It will be around . . . that direction, in the time it would take us to walk a day." Mira said, then added. "The Lord's name is A!Tash, and in the Forest I won't be much help in locating him. The . . . energy of the Forest will throw me off course. Kurama you might be able to help. We'll have to hurry though, before the Forest moves again."
"What will I be looking for?" Kurama asked.
"Um . . . have you ever seen a Jadesa? The Jade Rose?" Mira asked.
"I think so, as Youko I have. It's a rose that has jade petals, ne? It gives off a specific energy, and glows green." Kurama asked. ((K: Youko ! Where, where's Youko, come back my dream boy *drooling on computer*. B:Ah, Kagoha, how are you going to write this if you're drooling over Kurama? *Shakes head* Move over, I'll type while I'm here, until you get over Kurama. ))
"Yes. It looks like this, only with jade petals." Mira said, forming a ball with her hands. As she pulled her hands apart, blue energy began to form a flower. In her hand was a glowing, silver-blue rose with a silver stem and thorns.
"I thought you aren't an Earth demon...." Kuwabara asked, looking confused.
"She's not . . . the silver-blue rose . . . Mira? You were named after the Mira?" Kurama asked, Mira nodded. (A/N: No, in reality, Mira doesn't mean silver-blue rose and Jadesa isn't Jade Rose. It's something I made up. Names always have meaning to me, so if I don't know it, I make it up, ok?)
"Anyway, the Jadesa looks like a jade version of this. Kurama, there are a group of Jadesa's near A`Tash, so just focus on that, ok?" Mira asked. He nodded. Mira looked at the group and began to walk north, towards the Forest.
~*~*~*~*~A Day Later~*~*~*~*~
Mira pushed through a jade colored bush. "Here we are. The Jade Forest." She said, looking at the jade colored plants everywhere. "I hate this place. Fire has no affect on the plants, so I can't do much. And why do you keep looking at me ?!?" She snapped at Hiei. He looked slightly startled, and disappeared. "Fine, then ! Leave ! The Jagan won't work here, so don't get lost !"((K: I think she likes him... B: Kagoha ! I, I mean she, does not ! Shut up !))She called after him.
"Why won't it?" A girl asked from a tree above. The group looked at her, startled and watched as she jumped out of the tree. She was a bit shorter than Mira, and looked 13. She had a sweet face, white hair, eyes, and clothes, and angel-bird wings. She also had white dog ears and a white dog tail. She looked very innocent.
"Uh...Who are you?" Mira asked, wary of the newcomer.
"You answer my question first." The girl responded.
"...The energy of the Forest cancels out the energy of the Jagan...I heard this from another with the Jagan. Your turn."
"Who she is isn't important." A boy said from behind them. He looked 14, and was taller than the girl, but still shorter than Mira. He had the same color eyes as Mira, and short, spiked, dark brown hair, and silver wolf ears and tail. He was wearing human-looking clothes: blue jeans, a black shirt with the quote"Having a conscious doesn't prevent you from sin, it only prevents you from enjoying it." in blood red. He wore sunglasses in an attempt to cover his eyes. (A/N: I got that quote from another fanficton, though I don't remember which.))
"Yes, it is. I answered her damned question, now she better tell me who the hell she is. And who you are as well." Mira said, getting irritated.
"K-K-Kitiana?" Kito asked, stepping towards the girl. "Kitiana, is that you? It's me, Kito."
"Kito? Little brother, is that you?" The girl said, her entire appearance changing. Her hair changed to black with red streaks, her eyes to an extremely dark chocolate brown. Her clothes changed as well. Her pants changed to black, flared with a fire pattern, her shirt similar to the boy's, with a quote of "Good girls go to heaven and bad girls go everywhere." Her face became that of a girl with an attitude problem.
"You're Kitiana Rose?" Mira asked, staring at her. "Then who's that?"
"My boyfriend, Nesarko Kiyad. Kito, look at how big you've gotten ! You were four the last time I saw you !" She said, looking at Kito, then she turned to Nesarko. "Nesarko, this is my little brother, Kito, and his friends"
"Humph. If you trust them, fine." He said.
"Kitiana ! This is Mira. She's like a sister to me, ever since I became a slave. This is Kurama, Kuwabara-I mean Kuwabara, and Yusuke-sama. The one that left was Hiei-sama."
"Cool. Nice to meet all of you. And call me Angel." Kitiana said.
"Alright, 'Angel'. Do you know where a green, green robed man is? He'd be sleeping on a stone bed, with Jadesa's near him" Mira asked.
"Um . . . I might have, somewhere near the center of the Forest. It's really creepy there, though. Nothing likes to go there." Angel said, shuddering. Hiei suddenly reappeared near Kurama, looking at Angel and Nesarko.
"Hn. More weaklings." Hiei said. Angel had to go over to Nesarko to stop him from attacking Hiei. Hiei ignored them and turned to Mira. "There are some of those Flowers around here, so that you know, they seemed weak."
"They most likely are. The Jade Forest cancels darkness out, so many Black Hearts can't enter. Only the weaklings." Mira said, The group began to walk towards the center. Hiei walked a ways behind, and after hesitation, so did Mira. "What?"
"You are keeping a secret from us. There's more to those dreams than you're telling." Hiei said, looking at her.
"You keep secrets from Yukina, your sister." At his surprised look, she added. "I can see the resemblance, and I had a feeling you two were related. If you have a secret, so do I. And I see no reason to reveal them, to anyone...but wait, how did you know that I had secrets?"
Hiei began to walk ahead and said over his shoulder, "I'm a telepath."
"Oh." She said. 'How can I tell them what the Lords said? How can I be a Black Heart? Black Hearts care only for themselves. No family, only power and cold-heartedness. I may be cold sometimes, but Tisa and Kito. . . I care about them...and the others...' Her thoughts were interupted.
"I'm hungry!" Kito declared. Yusuke reached into his pocket and pulled out some candy, which he handed tossed to Kito.
"NO!!!" Mira and Angel yelled at the same time, just as Kito popped it into his mouth. "No..." Mira moaned as Kito began running around in circle's around Yusuke. "Now he's hyper! Never, ever give him candy, ever!!"
"WHEEEE!!!" Kito yelled as he ran around, bumping into everyone before he ran into the forest.
"Leave him. He'll catch up later." Mira said angrily. She charged ahead, when suddenly, a Tarzan like yell could be heard as a vine holding Kito went across the path. Nesarko stomped his foot into the earth and a tree moved in front of Kito, hitting him. "Kurama, vines." Mira said, pointing to Kito, who was getting up. "You're an earth demon, Nesarko?"
"Yeah partly." He responded. Kurama's vines wrapped Kito up so that he was unable to move.
"What are we going to do with him?" Yusuke asked.
"Leave him, like I said. Unless you want to drag or carry him. I don't care." Mira answered and she started walking again.
"I though she cared for Kito..." Yusuke said uncertainly to Kurama as he picked Kito up.
"She does, but I think something got her upset, and when she's upset, she seems to be uncaring. She also seems occupied with something, like she's troubled. She seems irate, angry, and will be cold with us. I also think she's changing the way she is around others." Kurama said thoughtfully as he watched Mira. 'She seemed upset after her dream, and after talking to Hiei. I wonder what he said?' Kurama thought. " Mira, there, to your right are a group of Jadesa'a." He called after they had walked a bit. She stopped and looked to her right. She motioned to them to go to her.
"There it is. Let's go." Kuwabara said, walking ahead. Mira grabbed him and pulled him back, putting her hand over his mouth.
"You baka! Haven't you noticed how quiet it is? You can't just walk right in. Listen." Mira whispered.
"I don't hear anything." Yusuke said.
"Exactly. No sound. Not even a bird. The earth creatures are near." Kurama answered before Mira did. She nodded.
"I'll go first." Nesarko said, looking for a way to show Hiei that he wasn't "weak". Before anyone could say anything, he walked into the clearing. He looked around, turned, and held out his arms. "All clea-" He was abruptly cut off as a large bear rushed into the clearing and head- butted Nesarko. The group in as more bears rushed into the clearing. Kurama made the vines clinging to Kito disappear so that he could fight. The bears growled, showing acid-dripping teeth. They ran at the group. Mira and Hiei pulled out their swords while Kurama pulled out his Rose Whip. Kuwabara began slicing at the bears with his double Spirit Sword while Kito hit them with his flaming staff. Angel ran to help Nesarko, lifting him him up and setting him down out of the small circle of bears. She then landed and changed into a rottweiler and charged at the bear. Nesarko pulled out his staff and began attacking, wincing as he did so from the pain of his crushed ribs. Mira, following Angel, put her sword away and changed into a silver fox-wolf. She clawed and bit at the bears, helping Hiei push the bears into a tight circle like Kurama and Yusuke were doing. Kito and Kuwabara were, surprisingly, working together to help , and Angel and Nesarko caught on and began doing the same. Finally, there were only three left. Suddenly, they grew bigger, taller than the trees, and they began swiping at the fighters, knocking them away like flies. Mira changed back to demon form, and, pulling out her sword, she drove it into one's foot. It howled and flung her into a tree, where she was knocked unconcious.
"Mira!!!" Hiei and Kurama yelled, then they both charged at the bear, slashing it's feet until it fell down onto it's back. Angel grew bigger and bit it's throat, biting through it's jugular vein, killing it. Yusuke did a large "Spirit Gun" while Kuwabara sliced the other bears leg. Mira slowly rose and looked up with cold, hateful eyes. A'Drea. She ran at the bear, changing into the fox-wolf, and growing to the size of a tree while going more wolf than fox. Her silver fur changed to black, and her eyes were shot with red and black. Even her fangs were black, except for the top left one, which was silver-white. She pushed the last bear down and tore its stomach open with its claws. It shrieked in pain and tried to defend itself, but to no avail. A'Drea move her claws up to it's throat, and she bit in, tearing through its throat. With it dead, she stopped and looked around. "Mira?" Kurama asked. She growled. "A'Drea?" Silence, then she changed back to demon, the hateful, uncaring, dark look still in her eyes, and she walked to the Earth Black Lord, who had been forgotten in the battle and was lying on a stone bed surrounded by Jadesa's. A'Drea walked over to him and bent down and picked up his Amulet, and said, so quietly that only Hiei and Kurama heard it:
"I will join you soon. We will get rid of Kagoha for she is not needed and is too much of a distraction."
"A'Drea?" Kurama asked. She shook herself, and the hateful darkness left her silver-blue eyes. She looked from her blood covered hands that were holding the Earth Amulet to Hiei and Kurama to the dead bears and finally to the tree she had been flung against, confused.
"What the hell happened?" Mira asked. "Why am I covered in blood?"
"Don't you remember? You changed into a huge black wolf, killed the bear, and grabbed that Amulet." Kito said as Angel changed back to her demon form.
"I changed to A'Drea? Fully? KUSO! And no, I don't remember. All I remember is that that baka bear flinging me into that tree, which hurt like hell by the way, blacking out, then waking up and I'm covered I blood, holding the Earth Amulet!" She yelled, licking the blood around her lips casually. " And now I have guts on my claws. I hate the full wolf form! It gets very...bloodthirsty. I like blood and all, but not this much, and I hate guts." She said, flinging her hands to shake the blood off.
"Mira, Hiei and I need to ask you something." Kurama said, motioning away from the group. Mira walked to an area out of the clearing. " You don't remember? Not even what you said?"
"No! How many times do I have to tell you?! I don't remember anything. When...when I'm in that form, I...I've heard of your 'youko' form, Kurama, when you change, and that part is cold and a fighter, and you aren't really in control. A'Drea is like that for me, only I can bring her out during a battle, and I can usually control it. When she gets out, like she apparently just did she's...she's black. Darkness is what she is. I warn you, stay away if it happens again." Mira said hesitantly.
"You said that you would join them soon. You said that you'd get rid of 'Kagoha.' Who is Kagoha?" Hiei asked. Mira's face flickered as if the name was familiar to her somehow, in the back of her mind, but then it was gone and her face became impassive again.
I honestly don't know. And that's something that I will tell you. A'Drea probably knows, not me. I only get small snatches of her memory."Mira answered, then turned to face Hiei angrily. "Why don't you try and ask her next time. Maybe she'll tell you what you want to know. Do not ask me anymore. I'll tell you when I want to, not before. Oh, and she's more secretive than I am." She said before she turned and walked back into the clearing. "Let's go. We have what we came for."
~ Well? Good? Bad? I hope I got you thinking, wondering, and curious about Mira and A'Drea. There was a name in there that should have been familiar. At least I have you entertained. Oh, and if you are going to criticize (which I really don't mind), please give suggestions, ok? Don't just say you want something to change and not give ideas. I need to know the specifics, like examples of ideas or problems in my story, ok? Feel free to ask questions, comment on something, criticize, suggest ideas, compliment me, or log a complaint. I really don't mind, and I'll answer such stuff in my author's notes. I need 5 reviews for the next chapter. So please review, bye!

"Where?" Yusuke asked Mira.
"... The Jade Forest. If we travel for a day, we should get there . . . maybe. I'd be totally out of my element, though." Mira said looking uncertainly in a northward direction.

"I changed to A'Drea? Fully? KUSO! And no, I don't remember. All I remember is that that baka bear flinging me into that tree, which hurt like hell by the way, blacking out, then waking up and I'm covered I blood, holding the Earth Amulet!" She yelled, licking the blood around her lips casually. " And now I have guts on my claws. I hate the full wolf form! It gets very...bloodthirsty. I like blood and all, but not this much, and I hate guts." She said, flinging her hands to shake the blood off.
"Mira, Hiei and I need to ask you something." Kurama said, motioning away from the group. Mira walked to an area out of the clearing. " You don't remember? Not even what you said?"
"No! How many times do I have to tell you?! I don't remember anything. When...when I'm in that form, I...I've heard of your 'youko' form, Kurama, when you change, and that part is cold and a fighter, and you aren't really in control. A'Drea is like that for me, only I can bring her out during a battle, and I can usually control it. When she gets out, like she apparently just did she's...she's black. Darkness is what she is. I warn you, stay away if it happens again." Mira said hesitantly.
"You said that you would join them soon. You said that you'd get rid of 'Kagoha.' Who is Kagoha?" Hiei asked. Mira's face flickered as if the name was familiar to her somehow, in the back of her mind, but then it was gone and her face became impassive again.
I honestly don't know. And that's something that I will tell you. A'Drea probably knows, not me. I only get small snatches of her memory."Mira answered, then turned to face Hiei angrily. "Why don't you try and ask her next time. Maybe she'll tell you what you want to know. Do not ask me anymore. I'll tell you when I want to, not before. Oh, and she's more secretive than I am." She said before she turned and walked back into the clearing. "Let's go. We have what we came for."
~ Well? Good? Bad? I hope I got you thinking, wondering, and curious about Mira and A'Drea. There was a name in there that should have been familiar. At least I have you entertained. Oh, and if you are going to criticize (which I really don't mind), please give suggestions, ok? Don't just say you want something to change and not give ideas. I need to know the specifics, like examples of ideas or problems in my story, ok? Feel free to ask questions, comment on something, criticize, suggest ideas, compliment me, or log a complaint. I really don't mind, and I'll answer such stuff in my author's notes. I need 5 reviews for the next chapter. So please review, bye!
