Ok, chapter 3. Finally, I've got something to work on over spring break. So far the guys have met the two thieves Mayline and Lina. It gets a hell of a lot weird in the next few chapters. Some new characters come into the picture and some other strange stuff.

Chapter 3

Mayline sighed as she listened to the toddler bitch her out.

"And further more, you and Lina have caused me so much trouble and paperwork. What do you have to say for yourself?" Koenma yelled.

Mayline looked at him boredly. "I'm sorry. Did you say something?"

Yusuke snickered. "I guess she doesn't like Koenma at all."

Koenma sighed and sat back down. He knew it was hopeless to yell at Mayline. She never listened, just like her mother Nuku. "Anyway, about your next mission. We have received information that the demon has taken three more demons making a total of 15 in all. Currently, he is at the Maze Castle. He took over after you defeated the Saint Beasts. He appears to be one who wants to control the human and spirit world," Koenma explained as the screen in front of them showed Maze castle and pictures of the demons taken. "He seems to like to sneak up on his targets and take control of their minds by placing an insignia on their foreheads. In other words he turns them on his side."

"Oh this'll be fun," Mayline muttered.

"How powerful is this guy?" Kuwabara asked.

"He can control any amount of demons he wishes as long as he can get them long enough to place the insignia on their foreheads. You have to stop him and bring the demons back," Koenma said.

"Nah, ya think," Mayline said as she crossed her arms and closed her eyes.

"And this will be your way to redeem yourself, Mayline!" Koenma yelled.

"Oh fuck off. I'll do it as long as the moronic humans stay out of my way and as long as we get Lina out. I don't care about the other demons!" Mayline yelled back.

"Who are you callin moronic!?" Kuwabara yelled as he glared at Mayline.

Mayline stood up and glared back. "I'm calling you moronic you filthy human."

Kuwabara growled at her ready to beat her up.

Mayline just smirked. "Come on. I dare ya."

"Will you two knock it off? Let's go," Yusuke yelled as he walked out.

Mayline sighed as she followed them. "I get to beat the big oaf up later."

It didn't take long for them to reach Maze castle again since the guys had already been there once before. Mayline scrunched up her nose at the smell of the place. They soon stopped at two hallways. "Which way do we go?" Yusuke asked. Mayline watched as a mouse ran past her and in Kuwabara's direction.

"That way," Kurama said as he pointed down to the left hall.

"Right it is then," Kuwabara said. He looked down to see the mouse and dodged it.

Mayline looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Don't like mice?"

"I hate them," Kuwabara said as he watched the mouse run away and disappear.

"Then don't come over to my place. I have a cage full of them. I use them as food for my bats," Mayline said with a smirk. Kuwabara shuddered. They followed Yusuke as he started down the hall with Kurama. They only got a few meters down the hall when Kurama stopped. "What is it Kurama?" Mayline asked.

"Feel that?" Yusuke asked.

Mayline blinked and then narrowed her eyes. "Yeah, I do."

"What is it?" Kuwabara asked.

"Who knows at this point," Mayline said. A strange scent met her senses. Mayline smelled the air. "Ok, I smell Lina and someone else. I don't know who though."

"Hiei's close," Kurama said as he tried to see through the darkness.

"Does he smell like a mixture of blood, ash, and spice?" Mayline asked. Kurama nodded. "Great, this should be interesting," Mayline said as she looked around for any signs of him or Lina.

"Um, guys," Kuwabara said. Mayline looked at him. He was pointing down the hall where Lina stood ready to fight.

Mayline looked at her and paled slightly: "Oh shit."

"What the hell!?" Yusuke said as he looked at Lina, who looked like she was ready to kick their asses.

"If Lina is here, where are Hiei and the other demons?" Mayline asked.

"Hiei's here alright," Kurama said as he watched Lina carefully. Mayline looked confused.

"Very perceptive, Kurama," Hiei said out of nowhere.

Mayline turned around too see him standing at the other end of the hall. "Oh, there he is."

"Yes, the fox is very perceptive," Lina laughed.

"Shut it, Lina!" Mayline yelled. That just caused Lina to laugh even more.

Kuwabara paled a bit. "This I bad isn't it?"

Yusuke smirked. "No, this is just peachy."

Well, now the guys and Mayline have found Hiei and Lina. Now what? Do they fight their friends? Can they fight their friends? Find out in the next chapter. Please send me any suggestions on a different title. Thanks.
