Mary: Enjoy!

Putting her tail over her legs and nose to keep warm she waited for her watch-time-period to end.

"Okay I'll take over." Kittara said sleepily. Kittara had wakened up about two hours after Mary had been assigned to watch.

"Good, I was about to fall asleep!" Mary transformed back. Kittara jumped awake at Mary transforming back. She had no idea what Mary was. In fact Kittara hadn't even heard Mary talk about being able to transform. She knew Sheba could because Sheba talked about it all the time.

"What can you transform into?" Kittara said staring at Mary. Mary looked away then pulled her blanket up to over her nose. "I want to know" Kittara was going to get answers and now. She poked and prodded at Mary all of her watch session. Mary didn't say a word. Mary finally gave in.

"I will not tell someone that doesn't respect others!" Mary said looking Kittara strait in the eye. Mary said that with no emotion in her voice making it plain to Kittara that her and Mary did not have a bond. They didn't have a bond, friendship, hatred, or even enemies. Nothing. The only reason Mary was coming was for the money. Sheba had invited Mary hoping they would become friends.

That's probably never going to happen, Kittara thought to herself, this girl, named Mary, and me, would never be friends if our lives depended on it. Kittara woke up Sheba. It was Sheba's turn after all. Kittara had spent all of her time getting Mary annoyed.

"My turn already! Man this night has gone by so fast!" Sheba said getting up. Just then the three girls heard a noise coming towards them.

Mary jumped up and started chanting some weird words, after she finished chanting she waved her hand and said, "May there be just".

What was that about? , Kittara thought to herself, its like Mary thinks those words can help us. Kittara shifted slightly so that she could see who was coming.

"Yusuke. We've been here." said a voice.

"Really? I thought that the trail was going strait to the caves. Apparently the trail we took is a circle. Lets camp in the clearing ahead." Yusuke said.

"Should I get rid of the people?" Kittara asked standing up and bringing out her sword.

"No" Mary said. "I recognize that voice. They have passed by while you two were sleeping. They mean no harm. They are going the same way we are. Sheba do you think we should bring them with us?"

"Kittara, do you care if they come with us?" Sheba looked at Kittara. Kittara didn't put the sword away.

"I'm in a killing mood. Sheba, with permission, can I kill that snobby brat Mary? Who does she think she is? The leader? Apparently she was wrong because she is not coming with us. She is going to go to he!"With that out of Kittara's mouth Kittara charged at Mary. Kittara, being as fast as Hiei, pierced Mary's heart.

"You dirty, ungrateful, witch" Mary said. "Must you always be so?" Mary backed away. The blood from her wound was coloring her clothes red. The sword was still stuck in her body when Mary took off running in the direction of the mystery people.

"Kittara! You idiot!" Sheba said. "You just got rid of the person we needed!" Sheba didn't say another word before they heard Mary scream.

"LET GO OF ME! I AM WARNING YOU! LET GO OF ME!"

"Kittara. Lets go help her!" Sheba got up and started running towards the scream. Sheba didn't get to far before Kittara grabbed her.

"I see why Mary chanted those words. She put a shield around our camp. That shield makes us: invisible, so peple can't hear us, and so people can walk through us. Go out of this shield. You will join Mary screaming." Kittara then let Sheba go.

"But if I don't help her who will?" Sheba asked.

"I will" Kittara said. Kittara put on her cloak.

"Why? You wanted her dead a few minutes ago." Sheba stared at Kittara.

"You just told me that she was important to our plan, and I am the reason she's in this state." Kittara took off running in the direction Mary went.
