He had lost her… again.
Mitsuru was horribly disappointed in himself. He had failed, he fail the People at Moonshine, the Lunar Race, himself, and worst of all he failed Mahiru. Tears of frustration fell off his face and disappeared before they hit the ground and collected in an invisible bowl hovering above Seno's shoulder.
"You want to find her?" Seno asked.
Mitsuru turned and nodded. Seno let a faint smile stain his face and motioned to Mitsuru.
"Come on then we'll do it the fast way. You have to be in contact with me for it to work," Seno ordered.
"Why are you helping my all of a sudden?" Mitsuru demanded.
"All I wanted was your tears. I need to free my sister's spirit, I need the tears of a man who's lost precious dear to him. Yuichi can die for all I care, he was the one who killed her."
"It's just another reason to kill him."
"Yes it is. Come then, in the gray mist you must follow me. No matter what, follow me," Seno commanded
Mitsuru walk over to him and place a hand on Seno's shoulder. Together they disappeared.
: : Mahiru : :
When she suddenly burst into consciousness she was back in the room where she had met Lirin. She was tied onto a pillar and she could see Yuhi sitting on a chair. He saw her looking at him and smiled charmingly.
"You're awake then, good. Lirin come out and talk to your friend," Yuhi called.
The pale girl walked out of the shadows and came to a stop in front of Mahiru. One of her pale hands came up to Mahiru's face and stoked her check. Mahiru didn't feel an actual hand touching her face, it was like a cube of ice was pressed to her.
"Hello again," Lirin greeted.
"You've met my little spirit then? That good," Yuhi said. "I like that you can join her soon, and we'll all live together. My two lovely spirits and me. Why don't you tell her your story Lirin, while were waiting."
Lirin looked at Yuhi and then looked back at Mahiru.
"I'll show you," her voice was a bare whisper.
: : Flashback : :
Blood…
There was blood everywhere. Puddles, lakes, sea, even oceans of blood.
Red and sticky…
Warm, hot burning.
Lirin looked up at the people who had both saved and trapped her. The man with dark hair, he was the leader…
His name was Yuichi, everyone called him Yuhi.
Lirin cursed the cage that made her powerless to zap the man. She would kill all of them.
They finally let her out of the cage when she was alone with Yuhi in a huge room. Lirin tumbled out and sprung to her feet. She attacked Yuhi without a second thought.
He was too strong…
He tied her to the bed and raped her.
More blood, her blood.
He wasn't done yet, the sadistic bastard. A knife in her stomach, she would bleed to death slowly. Yuhi stood above the bed watching. Then just before she passed out he laid a crystal on her stomach, over the cut.
Lirin woke up again, but she wasn't herself. She wasn't even truly there. No longer could she feel or touch, she was a living spirit.
Yuhi came into the room and told her his story. Then he spoke of a way to break the curse.
The tears of a man that has lost someone precious to him. She had to drink them.
Yuhi left, Lirin was alone for so long. A month? A year? Longer? Shorter? She couldn't tell.
Seno came then learned of her curse, he set of to help.
Her big brother…
Her hero.
She was a living spirit, dead in all ways but one.

Mahiru could tell it hurt Lirin to remember, it hurt Mahiru just to see. She glared at Yuhi.
"I hope someone kills you. I hope who ever it is rips out your tongue and shoves it into your open gut, while your squirming on the ground in pain," Mahiru shouted.
"My, my so very hateful aren't we pet?" Yuhi said.
"I hate, you I can't wait for Mitsuru to get here and take me away so I never have to see you again."
Yuhi got up and stalked over to her. He stood in front of her and tilted her face up to meet her eyes.
"Your ancestor was exactly like you. She belonged to me, and you do too. you are my possession. Mine forever and eternity," Yuhi whispered.
"I'd rather die," Mahiru spat.
"You may yet."
Mahiru held firm under him glare and shot him with her own. He repeated his threat.
"You may die yet."

My Internet is down while I'm writing this so most likely this is coming out with chapter ten. That means no Q and A. sorry.
This was a short chapter, but it has something and I'm almost attached to it.
Anyone know any good Kurama/Kagome stories?

Akikazu gave Mahiru such a dirty idea for killing Yuhi, I'm shocked…
Okay well maybe not.
Akikazu is just like that.
