~-telepathic thoughts

Note- I'm trying to keep before chapter notes as short as possible

Also I reply to reviews if there is something I need to clarify (like my laziness and grammar and spelling issues) or there is a question that some one asks.

Oh Yeah and if anybody has any ideas feel free to tell me in reviews or email and if you have questions feel free to ask ^__^

Another Note- In chapter one there were quite a few errors as I was bored and decided to read over it. For one there were small spaces and such, which I have fixed. There was also the only major error that I don't know how did was the fact that I typed that Kit was 4'5 when she's actually at this point 4'3. Gomen nasai about that

One more major note: this will be the last update for either a few days or a few weeks.. My phone and Internet will be cut, and as soon as my mom can pay for it I will be updating . I'll work on the next chapter even while I don't have Internet and will hopefully be able to update as soon as my Internet is returned to me. Shouldn't be longer then a month, god I hope it's not a month I'll die if it is .

Kit's dark emerald green eyes glanced around cautiously looking for any small signs of movement among the dark hall they were walking through. She walked quietly between Hiei and Kurama, she was obviously trying to distance herself as much as possible from Kuwabara. she sighed as she eyed Yuusuke's hair, really wanting to set it on fire though she knew she couldn't. She couldn't for the same reason she couldn't torture Kuwabaka they all needed to be in the best of health, even if one was a moronic, ugly, annoying idiot.

A loud ringing sound went off , coming from Yuusuke's pocket. Kit growled in annoyance when Kuwabara screamed. If he screamed like that again shed go deaf or damn close to it.

" Will you relax Kuwabara. It's just the communicator Botan gave me." Yuusuke said calmly taking out the pink make up compact he had been given earlier. Kit coughed trying not to giggle at the idea of what normal people would think if they saw Yuusuke holding that.

" Why Yuusuke I didn't know you were into make up?" She asked teasingly and when he glared at her she grinned widely. She watched as he flipped the compact open and Botan's face appeared where there would normally be a mirror of some sort. The second Kuwabara noticed Botan he gave a loud yell.

" BOTAN-CHAN !!!!!!!" he said happily rushing over to Yuusuke and causing him trouble, Kit had stopped paying attention to them, she was twitching while holding her kitty ears in pain.

" stupid, ugly, moronic, asshole that deserves to be burned and then dropped into a volcano and then.." her low angry muttering soon turned into an odd language that was clearly magical. Her tail began to twitch violently the fur covering it standing on end. Kurama blinked and laid a hand on her shoulder to calm her down and yelped when his sleeve caught on fire. Yuusuke finally closed the compact just as Kurama had finished patting the fire out of his sleeve though the edges were now slightly singed. Yuusuke turned to them ignoring Kuwabara who had received several facial bruises.

" lets go."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the Ningenkai:

Tadasuke happily smiled down the delicious looking bagel in his hands. Seconds later a baseball bat came in contact with his head.

" Noooooooooo……..my bagel……." He cried before he fell backwards and out cold. Botan 's eyes blinked down at him , she laughed nervously. As she slowly backed away from the unconscious blue haired elf.

" oooooops…..he wasn't infected." She giggled nervously then turned around and calmly walked away whistling. She was obviously pretending she hadn't knocked him out at all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kit suddenly frowned worriedly as she picked up an annoyingly and oddly familiar magic signature. She rubbed her temple in worry hoping the signature didn't belong to who she thought it did.

" Kit-san may I ask what's wrong?" She heard a soft voice in her left ear, she glanced up at Kurama.

" Nothing's wrong…. There's no point in asking." She lied to the best of her ability. He smiled easily seeing through her lie.

" really you seemed distracted by something?" He asked trying a different approach.

" not.. Really…." kit was obviously not very good at lying about things that were really bothering her..

" Worrying about boys?" he asked almost randomly, she did a classic crash.

" What the hell kind of question is that?" She asked a light pink blush tinting her cheeks.

" I'll take that as a no." Kurama smiled in Hiei's direction noticing how carefully the fire youkai was listening to their conversation.

" No I have never shown an interest in boys especially human boys. They think more with their pants then their brains, but then again so do a lot of demons .Also before you ask… I don't have a boyfriend either, and if I did Yuusuke would probably have killed him already." She said calmly trying to ignore the fact that she was blushing and could feel Hiei's eyes on her.

" What do you mean?" Kurama asked blinking.

" Yuusuke really overprotective , almost to the point it's ridiculous." kit said eyeing her cousin who was talking about something with Kuwabara.

~ Well she's not taken so you have a chance.~ Kurama said to Hiei telepathically as they continued walking.

~ what do you mean kitsune?~ the fire youkai replied in the same manner.

~ Your attracted to her…. And you obviously can't deny she has an interesting personality.~

~ …… she's pretty… yes…but that means nothing … it's obvious to anybody but that idiot~ he was obviously referring to Kuwabara.

~ hm… true… but you wouldn't have saved her if you were just attracted to her..~

~ .. She's the weakest of us physically, if I hadn't done that she could have seriously injured herself. It would be a weak point for us… one of us would have to be protecting her constantly… it's not a problem that is needed.~

~ oh really? Then why may I ask did you get so angry with the way the saint beast eye minion looked at her and why did you obviously enjoy being in such close contact with her? ~

~ baka kitsune… you're looking into this too much…~

~ I suppose I Am.~ Kurama smiled in a way that clearly said he was planning something~

~ ….what are you scheming?~

~ nothing at all ,you don't have to believe me on that Hiei.~ Kurama closed the telepathic connection as Yuusuke turned to him to ask a question.

" Hey Kurama, do you know anything about these saint beasts?" He asked.

Kurama shook his head. " Not much is known I'm afraid… after the barrier was put up. The reikai's intelligence virtually disappeared. The only thing I can really say is that when you see their bodies you may be very surprised."

" YOU MEAN TERRIFIED DON'T YOU." A loud voice rumbled through the dark hall. Kit stiffened , her ears and eyebrow twitching crazily.

" What's wrong Kit-san?" Kurama asked worried.

" On nothing, just all the loud sounds and completely unnecessary yelling…." She gave Kuwabara a dirty look. " are making my ear ring." she finished growling rubbing her poor ears with the soft palms of her hands.

" I can understand that."

" Of course you can, you're a kitsune." She rolled her eyes and followed Yuusuke and Kuwabara into the next room. Kurama blinked and looked to Hiei who merely shrugged. Then they both followed her into the room.

They all glanced around the round room they now found themselves in. Kit narrowed her eyes glimpsing a large stony figure in the darkness of the room . Yuusuke took a torch from off the walk and threw it forward, revealing the stony creature she had managed to glimpse. She had the strong urge to hid behind someone, big tall things had always frightened her to a point. The minute he had come into complete clear view , she clamped her over her ears just in time to save them from the agony of Kuwabara's sharp yells.

" Welcome." The creature said , his stony voice rumbling through out the room. Kit whimpered from the sound suddenly hands covered her ears that weren't her own. She glanced up to see Hiei covering her ears for her, she felt the blush from earlier return full force.

" what the hell is that?" Kuwabara asked loudly, though thanks to Hiei , Kit could hear his voice very quietly, something for which she was extremely thank full for.

" I am Genbu , the stone beast. I am the strongest of the four saint beasts and I will crush you all." The giant stone monster said, Kit raised an eyebrow. He certainly didn't feel like the strongest.

" behind me is the only stair way up. Defeat me or become ashes." he raised his long stony tail and smashed it into the ground making it crack slightly. " either way it will not be easy for you to defeat me…. In fact I doubt you could do it."

" Urameshi he's a talking rock, how are we supposed to fight a talking rock?" Kuwabara asked. Kit stared at him starting to wonder not for the first time how truly stupid Kuwabara was.

" I'll fight him." Kurama said calmly stepping forward.

" Kurama?" Yuusuke asked blinking.

" We don't know his strengths or weaknesses , it would be ill advised for us to all fight him." Kurama said as he began walking forward more,

" You sure." Yuusuke asked again and he nodded,

" You're underestimating him." Hiei said suddenly, Kit glanced back up at him.

" Do you want to know why I chose him for a partner? It's because I didn't want him as my enemy. He's even more cut throat then I am when it comes to battle."

" This looks like it'll be interesting then." Kit said her eyes shining with excitement.

" Blood luster." Kuwabara muttered insulting her, something in her eyes flashed.

" I enjoy fighting and I won't deny it Baka. Drawing blood does happen in battles, but doing so isn't something I crave for, and I prefer not to kill unless it's absolutely necessary. Sadistic? Yes. Pyro? Hell yeah there's no way I'm denying that. But a blood luster? I am most defiantly not." She napped coldly. The orange haired idiot looked shock, she'd gotten angry and lost her temper with him hundreds of time, but that was the first time she had ever gotten truly angry with him.

Hiei was looking down at her softly , he had removed his hands from his ears thinking it wouldn't be need. Her attention was else ware however. Kit frowned deeply again, she could feel that magic aura getting closer and closer.

" HEY STONE MAN IS DOING SOMETHING FREAKY WITH HIS TAIL." her attention snapped back to the battle at Yuusuke's yell. If possible her frown increased as she saw Genbu's tail going into the ground. She really hoped this battle ended before the person who owned that magic signature got there.

Genbu's tail started to come up from the ground and behind Kurama, who jumped to dodge it. The tail had managed to get a powerful hit at Kurama's side. Kit couldn't but wince, she knew that had to hurt.

"This entire room and my body are stone, so basically I am this entire room." Genbu said giving his equivalent of a smirk.

" KURAMA!! Are you okay?" Yuusuke half yelled.

" Yes it's only a minor scratch , he merely caught me off guard." The tall redhead said holding his side.

" You won't be able to bluff for long , the real fight starts now." Genbu said now his entire body going into the floor.

Kit blinked rapidly and rubbed her eyes not sure she was seeing what she thought she was seeing.

"What the hell is going on?" Kuwabara asked looking confused. The little redhead hanyou sighed wishing he could learn to ask in another way. She frowned suddenly feeling the magic signature clearly but still not knowing whom it was. She growled trying to search her memory for who it could be.

~pay attention~ Hiei's voice said suddenly into her head, how she kept calm at that she didn't know.

~ I didn't know you were a telepathic?~ she asked back knowing she was supervised and sounded it but not really caring.. ~ guess I do know~

~ yes…. What's bothering you; I can tell it's not the saint beasts~ He asked. She gave a dark sigh.

~ There 's a pretty strong magic signature coming towards us, from the exact same direction that we came. It's familiar to me, I have fought the person who it belongs to before I'm sure of it , and if it is the person I think it is. I'll be in deep shit.~ She explained.

~ you mean we don't you?~

" no I mean me. This person is coming after me, on another attempt to end my life. I will not involve anybody who does not need to be. I have to deal with it on my own.~

~ If you get badly injured in taking care of this person it is our business. I… we need you unarmed. An uninjured mage is by far more useful then an injured one.~

She looked up at him her eyes wide .

~ … concentrate on the battle at hand first , we'll deal with the other problem when it arrives .~

~ thank you Hiei~ Kit felt him close their connection , she turned to watch as Kurama dodged and landed a bit away from Genbu.

"You can't fight by purely dodging ." Genbu's voice filled the room.

" I believe you are right Genbu." Kurama said standing up to his full height and taking a red rose out of his hair.

" Black roses are prettier." Kit said saying the first thing that came to her mind, getting her strange looks from the baka and her cousin " I forgot why I never say the first things that come to my mind, I just remembered why." She muttered darkly.

" Rose Whip." Kurama yelled the in his hand turning into a long thorny green whip, rose petals almost seeming to rain down on him

" I don't like it very much…. It's to girly." Kuwabara muttered and Yuusuke laughed.

" Oh? And what do you him to be ? A touch guy like you who obsesses over kittens." Yuusuke said grinning and teasing at him. Kit couldn't stop herself from shuddering and resisted another urge to hid behind something.

" What will you do with a whip? You don't even know where I am." Genbu's voice said , kit glanced around her eyes resting on the ceiling. " I do." she muttered.

" Then attack me when you like," Kurama said calmly. Kit almost jumped three feet in the air when she heard Hiei's voice whisper into her ear.

"where is he?" he asked. She calmed herself down before she answered.

"The ceiling. I f you look closely there are extra stones there and I can feel extra stone energy. Don't ask it's something to do with my magic." She whispered back and nodded, Kit's eyes were locked on the ceiling as were Hiei's. Kurama had caught on as well, his own eyes locking onto the ceiling, he lashed out with his whip the second Genbu came out.

" That's his skill, the thorns on his whip could cut through solid steel." Hiei explained calmly. Yuusuke and Kuwabara looked at him surprised.

Kit listened carefully as Kurama used his rose whiplash* and explained to the now cut up Genbu how he'd found him using his sent.

~ Good way of using your noise in battle.~ Kit opened a telepathic connection with Hiei trying to desperately keep her mind off what was worrying her.

~…yes….. Your worried.~ His reply was calm though there seemed to be slight annoyance in it as well.

~ Gomen…..how did you?~

~ your babbling nonsense and your having a hard time paying attention. …. Your thoughts are very very unguarded right now. ~

~ You can read minds?~

~ some yes… weak minded humans and unguarded thoughts~

~ so weak humans and mostly idiots. I don't know how to guard my thoughts , my sensei didn't feel like going over it with me, she said I was to stressed out to ever be able to guard my thoughts.~

~ bah….nonsense. If your stressed that's all the more reason for you to be guarding and hiding them. You need to learn….~

Kit found herself blushing slightly, she sighed wondering what was wrong with her and why she was suddenly blushing so much. Her attention suddenly snapped back to the battle , which had almost ended. He threw a red stone forward and cut it into several pieces completely destroying Genbu. Kurama half collapsed on the ground holding his side in pain. Yuusuke and Kuwabara ran up to him first followed by Kit and Hiei.

" Kurama are you okay ?" Yuusuke asked as Kit knelt beside him.

" I'm sorry Yuusuke." Kurama muttered letting the small dark mage take a closer look at his injury She frowned and then stood up.

" It's not that serious, he'll be able to walk but he won't be able to fight for a while….." She said trailing off suddenly looking pale. She was also not looking at them at all she was looking past Hiei at the person ho had just entered the room.

Hiei looked at her oddly and looked to where she was as did Yuusuke. Hiei gave the persona look of annoyance while Yuusuke looked shocked scared and mortified.

" SHIT… I was afraid it was you." Kit cursed softly. The person was a tall girl who looked to be 15 but no older. Her long hair ran down her very scantily clad body to at least her knees. her hair was a bright shade of pink, a color that would blind most, her slanted eyes were a deep shade of teal. Her clothes as few as they were the same color as her hair as was her cloak.

" damn it I was right." Kit sighed looking annoyed and bothered. The pink haired girl broke into loud obnoxious laughter she then grinned at Kit evilly.

" I have finally found you Kurakaze." She said her voice a very high annoying tone.

" Kurakaze?" Kurama asked weakly standing up, Kit sighed and nodded.

" I'm a mage so I have to names . My mage name is Kurakaze Midori. " she explained then looked to the pink haired girl.

" Kylith I don't suppose… you could come back and bug me another less bothersome time?" She asked the woman known as Kylith gave a short laugh.

" I've come to kill you Kurakaze-chan… of course I won't not try." She said mockingly. Kit glared at her in irritation and summoned her naginata with a flick of her wrist.

" annoying necromancer." She muttered walking forward. She slowed down when she heard Hiei's voice in her head.

~ don't do anything foolish~ She snorted as if to say like that's gonna happen. Emerald green eyes glared back at deep teal eyes. The mages glaring fiercely at each other. Kylith drew a katana barely holding the blade correctly.

" Yuusuke who is that woman?" Kurama asked finally after staring at the woman long and hard.

" old rival of Kit's. She's follows Kit everywhere unfortunately. This battle is probably going to get bloody." Yuusuke muttered darkly.

" Why do you say that?"

"Because they have yet to have a battle end peacefully without one or both of them bleeding badly."

Kurama sighed and had a look on his face that said oh dear. Kylith charged at Kit trying to injure her with the sword, the little hanyou easily dodged each of the attacks. Kylith glared at her and threw the blade to the side.

Yuusuke was staring wide eyed at Kylith. " DAMN my swordsmanship is better then that. I can at least hold the thing the correct way."

An odd dead white aura appeared around Kylith's scantily clad form, an odd white fireball appearing in her hand, she smiled and threw it with great force at Kit who barely managed to dodge. The fireball lightly scraped her shoulder, Kit winced slightly in pain. Kylith took something out of her cloak, a something that turned out to be a completely black dagger. The necromancer smiled sending her magic into to the dagger.

Kit couldn't help but give small scream of pain as daggers appeared all around her in a circle and flew at her at a speed that she couldn't possibly block. Yusuke closed his eyes not really wanting to see this. Hiei and Kurama both wore serious frowns of worry, and Kuwabara looked scared and worried. Kit gave a sharp yelp of surprise as several of the daggers caught on her shirt ripping the front open over her chest. The daggers had ripped clean through her breast band and had given anybody looking a rather good view of the young girl's chest. Kit blushed brightly immediately covering herself, her face looking as if it were on fire. She winced as the daggers continued attacking her several digging into her arms and legs, more creating cuts on her face and neck. She gritted her teeth and decided to deal with what show her male companions got later. She grabbed several of the daggers in her hands, ignoring the sharp pain the magiked weapons sent through her arms and hands. She closed her eyes and forced her own magic energy into the daggers stopping them from attacking her for a few brief seconds. She flipped backwards catching her naginata and spinning it was one would normally do a staff, sending the daggers flying away from her and back towards Kylith. The pinked haired mage gave a look of disgust and snapped her fingers the daggers turned to ashes. Kit pressed her hands together almost as if she were praying then opened them her palms flat , a slight misty dragon forming between them.

Hiei raised an eyebrow looking at her in extreme interest, his face slightly red from blushing. He was the only one still watching the fight. Yuusuke had tackled Kuwabara and was holding his head down to keep him from seeing anything and Kurama had politely turned his head away.

" DAMN BITCH." Kylith snarled forming to pink balls of light in her hands.

" I can't be a bitch if I am half neko youkai now can I." Kit's voice came out soft and windy, the dragon turning green and black and slowly more solid.

The necromancer snarled something at her and then threw the pink balls of magic at her they turned into large blades of magic as they dug deep into Kit's stomach and right arm. Kit closed her eyes tightly, wincing as her arm broke soundly and blood poured out soaking her sleeve and the remains of her shirt with blood. She continued the spell though into the dragon in her palms was solid, black and green energy poured off her body, she let her arms fall the dragon still in her palms, blood from her arm pouring down into the spell. Kit raised her arms and then held them out again.

" Dragon Tempest." her voice was barely as the dragon suddenly sprung to life and slammed into Kylith making the necromancers scream in pain. Kit stepped backward gasping in pain from her injuries. She cursed softly holding her stomach in pain, she took off the remains of her shirt and ripped them into bandages . She wrapped part of the rough bandages around her bleeding stomach to keep blood loss and then wrapped the rest around her chest. She glanced back at Hiei and noticed he was the only one watching, she looked down to the floor her face a deeper red then that of her hair. Kit made a gesture with her hand the dragon disappearing into thing air. Kylith have been knocked out cold.

Kit looked in that direction and gave a sigh of relief and then fell to her knees in pain. Blood still ran freely down her arms and legs, and face, though the most blood ran down her right injured arm. Her rough bandages around her stomach already soaked in blood. Hiei cursed very softly and ran over to her followed by Kurama who had noticed her collapse.

" Kit-san Daijoubu ka? Kurama asked worriedly as Hiei knelt down to take a closer look at her arm.

" I'm fine." She smiled weakly. " What about your injuries?"

Kurama smiled. " I'll be fine, my injuries are very little compared to yours."

Kit opened her mouth to argue but Hiei interrupted her before she could say anything.

" Her arm has been severally injured, I'm amazed it's not broken. Her stomach injury looks almost worse." Hiei said gently probing her arm, Kit tried desperately not to wince when he did , it hurt a lot.

" I can heal a bit of my stomach wound." She muttered softly. She placed her hands over the bandage and forced wind energy into her body, the wound healed a slight bit. She tried to stand up and fell back to the ground, Hiei easily catching her with one arm.

" I'm fine ." she said almost half passing out where she was.

" You're lying." Yuusuke snapped as he walked over to them with Kuwabara in tow. " You're bleeding badly and you're exhausted from using to much magic."

" I just need rest, the bleeding has stopped already." She wasn't lying about that, she had stopped bleeding out of her arm, stomach and other numerous cuts and scrapes.

" Some one will have to carry her." Kurama said still looking worried.

" I'll do it." Hiei said quickly. Yuusuke and Kuwabara stared at him.

" It makes the most sense." Kurama said looking to them.

Yuusuke nodded and lifted Kit up and wait for Hiei to stand up before helped her onto his back. She blushed brightly as Hiei wrapped his strong arms around her legs to support her . She laid her head on his shoulder , lightly holding onto his cloak with her left hand, her right one still in far to much pain to really be moved. She slowly closed her eyes and let the darkness take her as she fell into a deep sleep. Hiei glanced down at her sleeping face, a light blush on his face. He smiled very quickly and began walking towards the stairs along with Kurama,

" Shouldn't we grab Kit's naginata?" Kurama asked Yuusuke as they headed towards the stairs. The black haired boy shook his head.

" No it usually dispels it self when she lets it fall to the floor. See." Yuusuke gestured to the room , there was no naginata to be seen in the entire room.

" So when she was in battle earlier?"

" The magic on the naginata can tell when she'll need it and when she won't. I think, I've never really bothered to ask..

Kurama glanced back at Kylith's unconscious body. " Should we just leave her there?"

" Sure why not?" Yuusuke followed Hiei and Kuwabara up the stairs. Kurama nodded and followed.
