In the Ningenkai
"Great, we're back where we started," Yusuke said cynically, rather upset that they walked all the way to Central Park when they could have gone down the street. "Shut up Urameshi," Kuwabara yelled in response. "Let's just go," Mitsu said impatiently. The three teenagers and two demons made their way up the stairs to apartment K5. Kurama, being the polite person he is, knocked on the door waiting patiently for a reply. Hiei, being the extremely impatient person he is, opted for the 'kick the door down' approach. "You know, you didn't have to kick down the door," Mitsu told Hiei as they walked through the doorway. This comment earned her a "Hn." courtesy of Hiei.
The group of detectives walked through the kitchen and found an open door. Yusuke walked through first finding what looked like a fourteen-year-old girl with shoulder length black hair and blue eyes lying on a bed reading a book. The rest of the tantei filed in after Yusuke and were slightly puzzled. The girl had not looked up from her reading despite the presence of the spirit detectives. "&*$@%," {1} yelled Mitsu out of rage from seeing her most hated enemy.
"What a pleasure it is to see you here Mitsu," began Tara, finally looking up from her book, "I didn't expect you to figure it out." Yusuke and Kuwabara ended up having to hold Mitsu back from attacking Tara. "Drop the brazen façade, Tara" started Kurama, "Give back the spell book and we won't have to fight." Tara began to laugh, "Me, give you the book? Ha! You'll have to pry it out my cold dead hands!" Hiei started to smirk. "That can be arranged." He then unsheathed his katana and ran at Tara with such speed it could not be seen. Right before the katana reached Tara's neck she shouted the word "HOJISHI!" Quite suddenly Hiei and the others froze in their tracks, they could only speak. "Hey what'd you do to us?" Yusuke yelled. "What does it look like I did?" was the only reply he got.
The room began to darken considerably and Tara disappeared, as this happened, Kuwabara shouted foolishly "Hey who turned out the lights?!" "She did, you buffoon," Yusuke yelled in response. Maniacal laughter filled the pitch-black room and echoed off the walls. Mitsu was getting tired of waiting, and also was getting a headache so she yelled blindly into the darkness, "COME OUT AND FACE US, OR AT LEAST SHUT UP!!!" 'This girl has spunk, she's not so bad,' Hiei thought.
The cackling stopped and the light returned partially. The group also found themselves able to move. "Hey, nice going," Yusuke and Kuwabara congratulated giving her a thumbs up. "I didn't think it would work," said Mitsu. "Shhh" said Hiei signaling for the others to be quiet. Kurama suddenly realized they were no longer inside Tara's bedroom, but instead in an old field of gargantuan proportions. The dim light was the setting sun. Hiei's signal was because he was trying to hear the chant that Tara was reciting a spell from the large leather bound book still in her hands. She stopped chanting and looked up at the spirit detectives. "This is a wonderful spell book," she began smugly. "Remind me to thank Koenma for letting me borrow it." Tara paused for a moment. "I knew there was something I forgot." With that she chanted something softly, and her tee shirt and jeans were replaced with a long, flowing, black robe. Tara's ears pointed, while her teeth elongated into fangs. Her eyes changed from light blue to blood red, and her hair grew longer and became streaked with purple. The sorceress had turned back into her demon form.
Mitsu and the rest of the gang became impatient. Kurama pulled the rose from his hair and transforming it into his signature rose whip. Yusuke pointed his index finger, preparing to shoot her with the spirit gun. Kuwabara didn't summon his sword because it was against his honor code to hit girls. Mitsu, who the others thought was unarmed, reached into her pocket and pulled out a dagger with rubies in the handle. Kuwabara, who was standing behind Mitsu, noticed the small weapon and asked, "Hey where'd you get that dagger?" The remainder of the gang turned around to see Mitsu, dagger in hand telling a confused Kuwabara in a cold manner, "Who in their right mind goes to fight evil without a weapon?" Tara was becoming impatient and yelled to the gang, "I thought you wanted to fight." The spirit detectives snapped back to reality and held their weapons at the ready.
Hiei charged at Tara, for the second time. As the blade of the sword reached her neck, she muttered something, and a green energy shield appeared, shattering Hiei's sword. Although his sword was broken, he still attempted to attack, aiming a powerful kick at the sorceress' head.
This attack was deflected as well, but this time by her fist glowing with energy. Hiei then retreated as Kurama attacked with the rose whip, because he thought Tara would be off guard. This plan succeeded, but only to an extent. The slash he made did slice her left shoulder pretty badly, but he did not make her drop the book as he had intended to do. Mitsu took the opportunity to snatch the book from her rival while she was doing her best to avoid the spirit gun bullet shot by Yusuke.
This really aggravated Tara. She began chanting again, but this time she created a really powerful shield around her as she did it so she wouldn't be attacked while she did it. The effects of this chant were noted immediately. All of a sudden, Hiei, who was going to attack Tara the moment she let down her shield, fell to the ground, breathing hard. The other three guys went over to see what was wrong with Hiei, but they themselves soon fell to the ground. The fallen boys were becoming pale quickly. "What the hell have you done to them?!?!?" yelled Mitsu out of rage and worry for her new friends. "Simple, I've put them in a force field and filled it with poisonous gas," replied the ever so calm Tara. Mitsu was confused for a moment, "How could she have cast the spell without the book?" she thought out loud. "Really now Mitsu, do you think I would be so foolish as to have the book for several days and not at least commit some of the spells to memory?" the calm sorceress said to the extremely pissed off teenager. "Can I save them?" asked Mitsu. The black clad sorceress answered, "Yes there are two ways to keep your friends alive, the first being for you to recite the counter spell, the second is for the person who cast the spell, me, to die."
Mitsu smiled and said. "Ah but Tara, have you forgotten who possesses the book?" She opened the old leather book and looked at the first page. The writing in the book was in some strange language. "Hey! I can't read this!" shouted Mitsu in disappointment. "Then I guess you'll have to find some way to kill me," replied Tara really calmly. "Oh I forgot to mention that if the spell isn't broken within thirty minutes, they'll all die." By the time Tara finished saying that, Mitsu had set aside the book {2} and was already running at the deranged sorceress, knife in hand. Mitsu was about to stab Tara when the demon disappeared. The girl with the ruby encrusted dagger stopped charging when the witch vanished. Then a loud voice that seemed to surround Mitsu said, "If you want to kill me you'll have to find me!" Mitsu growled in the back of her throat then yelled to her enemy, "Only cowards hide form their fights in such a childish manner!" Tara suddenly appeared behind Mitsu and punched her as she said "I'll not be called a coward by the likes of you!" Mitsu, who had thought this might happen, sidestepped the attempt at an attack and kicked the psychotic witch in the side. Then as Tara was doubled over, she stabbed her in the already injured shoulder, courtesy of Kurama.
Tara, realizing she was vulnerable to another attack, brought up a shield to protect herself. Mitsu didn't catch the fact that Tara put up a shield and attacked anyway. The dagger, her only weapon, broke when it hit the energy. She cursed her luck and retreated, accidentally backing into the force field that held her friends hostage. She noticed their faces were pallid and their breathing was hard. The thought of the famed spirit detectives dying made her really angry. After she backed away from the light green translucent bubble, she saw a small black cloud hover over each of her hands. She was confused for a moment, but then came to the conclusion that this was spirit energy. She concluded that her emotions must have caused her to summon it. She tried to control it by focusing in her mind of what she wanted to make, spirit scythes.
Much to her surprise the black energy formed the weapon she wanted. While she was working on summoning her energy Tara had been doing her best to heal herself. It worked pretty well, so now she was on her feet ready to continue the fight. Tara turned to face her opponent and gaped at the two sharp black energy scythes in Mitsu's hands. "H-how did you get those?" Tara asked, uncharacteristically nervous. "I summoned them, with help from my friends!" the trench coat clad girl yelled to the demon witch. Tara was now really confused and nervous. "But t-t-they can't help you, they're half dead.." Mitsu was now really quite happy, she now had the upper hand. "Enough talk, let's fight!" She ran at the sorceress the scythes in her hands. Tara still confused and rather weak from being kicked and stabbed wasn't able to dodge or create a shield. Mitsu ran and sliced the weakened girl in the stomach with one of her scythes, then as her opponent fell to the ground she threw the other at her. The black spirit weapon lodged it self in her ribcage, right where her heart was. Blood poured from the dead sorceress as she hit the ground. The setting sun making the pooled crimson liquid glow eerily.
Mitsu turned to the place where her friends were laying on the ground. She smiled when she saw Kurama trying to sit up, the color returning to his face. Kurama smiled as well when he saw Tara dead on the ground. "Really good work Mitsu, you saved us." Kurama said from his sitting position in the middle of the field. Before Mitsu could say anything else Yusuke sat up and rubbed his head. "Huh, what happened?" At this comment the black clad human couldn't help but giggle. "I killed Tara," she managed to say before she burst out laughing. Kurama failed to see what was so funny, but on the other hand he was unconscious for more than half the fight. It took Mitsu a few minutes to calm down but by the time she did Kuwabara was sitting up as well. Kuwabara said something stupid so Yusuke hit, and so they were in their own little world. Kurama and Mitsu turned their attention to the short fire demon that was still lying on the ground. Suddenly they got really worried. Hiei was still breathing heavily and his face was still pale.
