______________________________________________________________________________
" Hey Kitty! We need you guys to come back to Spirit World for a new mission. Come at 10 o'clock this morning. It's already 8!" Koenma's voice yelled in Kitty's head as she was drifting in and out of sleep. " Go to the portal Ogre will let you through. Hurry and get up!"
Kitty just sat up in bed in her black sleeveless nightgown, that is cut a bit to low at the neck, and looked at Hiei who was sleeping on the floor next to her bed. She just smiled and got up and went into the bathroom connected to her room. She got a cup of cold water and quietly walked around to where he was laying. She threw the water on him and jumped back into bed, covering up really quick, acting like she was still asleep.
Hiei woke up with a start. He looked around him and then saw Kitty laying on her bed trying to muffle her giggles.
" Oh ha ha ha, Kitty. You actually expect me to believe you were asleep? That's a laugh." Hiei said getting up and sitting on the side of her bed. He reached over and turned her over on her back. She looked at his hair which was frizzy and dripping with water. She looked into his eyes and burst out laughing.
" You should have seen the look on your face when you woke up! It was so funny!" Kitty barely managed to choke out before she fell over on Hiei laughing.
" Come on...it couldn't have been that funny!" Hiei said putting his hand over her mouth to stop her from laughing.
Kitty managed to stop laughing and looked up into Hiei's eyes " You know that I love you right?" she said quietly putting her head on his shoulder and closing her eyes.
" Yea... I know...and you know that I love you..." Hiei said putting his hand around Kitty and laying his head on hers.
Kitty just smiled and snuggled closer to him. " He's so warm..." she thought to herself. " I better tell him that Koenma called....he'll hate it but we have to listen to the little bastard."
" Hiei..." Kitty said lifting her head, " Koenma talked to me this morning by means of thought....he said that we need to be in Spirit World by 10 o'clock."
Hiei just looked at her and said, " But we had plans today..."
" I know....but Koenma said that it was urgent..." Kitty said before Hiei put his finger on her lips.
" Less talk... More kiss..." he said as he put his lips on hers.
They just sat on Kitty's bed kissing until Alaira came in to wake them up about 15 minutes later.
" Well, Well Kurama won't be too happy when he finds out about this..." Alaira said as she flung open the door.
Hiei and Kitty jumped and broke off their kiss. " Alaira...next time knock. Or I'll have to deep freeze you..." Kitty said as she looked at Alaira from under Hiei's arm.
" Hey Kurama! Come look at this!" Alaira yelled down the stairs, " You were right they were making out!"
"Hmmph!" Kitty said crossing her arms and walking over to the door and slamming it in Alaira's face, she locked both padlock and regular door lock.
" That should keep her out!" Kitty said as she sat down in Hiei's lap and looked him in the eyes. " Now where were we?"
" Right here..." Hiei said laughing and he started kissing Kitty again.
Kitty just wrapped her arms around him and closed her eyes. " What is it about him? I don't know why I love him....he's such a good kisser...you couldn't tell by looking at him though..." she thought to herself as she was swept off into another world.
Hiei's voice popped into her head, " I love you Kitana Sesshome Koragame."
" And I you Hiei..." Kitty whispered back in thought. She thought that she could feel him smiling in his thoughts.
Another annoying high pitched voice popped into both their heads " Stop it you two! Wake up, take a bath and get dressed! It's already 9:00! You have to be here in less than an hour! Hurry up and stop this disgusting thing!"
" Shut up Koenma..." Kitty thought-shouted back. " We'll stop when we're ready."
" Fine...you guys can be here at 11 o'clock. I just wanted to tell you some stuff and see if you knew anything about something...oh well...Kurama and Alaira are still going to be here at 10." Koenma 'said' again.
" Fine, go away...we don't want you here." Hiei shot back.
They didn't hear anymore from Koenma after that.
Kitty pulled back from Hiei's kiss and then put her head on his chest. He just put his head on her head.
" Hiei...." Kitty said looking at her wall.
" What is it Kitty?" Hiei said as he started stroking her long brown hair.
" I've been having this weird feeling about something...I don't know what it is....I feel like something bad is going to happen on this mission.....I don't like the feel of it." Kitty said snuggling up closer to Hiei. Burying her face in his chest.
" Don't worry...everyone will be fine...I won't let anything happen to you either." Hiei said before he raised his head off of hers.
" I'm worried about you. What will happen if you get hurt? I couldn't live with myself if you died!" Kitty said, accidently letting two tears escape, they ran down her cheeks and two jewels fell onto her lap.
" I'll be fine...you know that...don't cry....I don't like it when you cry, it makes me feel bad." Hiei said still stroking her hair.
" I know...but I can't shake the feeling something's gonna happen to you." Kitty said putting her arms around his neck and hugging him tight to her.
" It's okay...I'm fine....and I'm right here." Hiei said kissing the top of her head.
" I know...but I can't shake the feeling...I better get up and take a bath, it's about 10:00 now....you can take a bath after me." Kitty said getting up out of Hiei's lap.
" Okay." Hiei said smiling as he watching Kitty as she walked into the bathroom and shut the door.
ONE HOUR LATER
" Here we are!" Kitty announced as she and Hiei came walking through Koenma's office door at 11:15.
" Well you're late. We've been here for about an hour and fifteen minutes! What took you?" Kurama said tapping his foot as Kitty walked over to him.
" I had to wash Hiei's clothes. They smelled like, well they didn't smell like roses let me say that much or Mom's home cooking." Kitty said laughing, looking up at Kurama who looked surprised.
" Okay you two quit arguing... here's your mission." Koenma said as he jumped up on his desk. " You have to help Yusuke beat the 6 Saint Beasts. You should know who they are...being demons and all..."
" Get on with it...how are we supposed to get to where the Saint Beasts are?" Alaira asked bluntly.
" I was getting to that Alaira. You have to travel there as little 'energy balls' through this next portal because it's too small for you to go in your regular form." Koenma said walking around on top of his desk, " Kitty don't wince like that. It's not painful as though it may sound. Your body is compacted into a small ball and you can control it and let yourself out when you reach your destination."
" Excuse me Koenma, but what if we're claustrophobic?" Kitty asked nervously.
" Well you're out of luck...this is the only way we have to get you there. Sorry for the inconvenice." Koenma said as Kitty got a look of pure horror on her face.
" Hehehe...I don't like closed in spaces..." Kitty said wrapping her arms around herself and shuddering.
" Too bad...you have to travel like this...it's the only way to get there for demons." Koenma said as he waved his hand and four small balls each colored a different color appeared. Koenma gave Hiei the blue one, Kitty the silver one, Kurama the red one, and Alaira the green one.
" Uh..what are we supposed to do with these?" Alaira asked perplexed as Koenma gave hers to her.
" These are like your own little travel cars. You direct your Spirit Energy to go into these balls. They will absorb your energy and your mortal body, they will then transport you anywhere you want to go." Koenma said. " These have already been programmed to go where I want you to go. All you have to do is give the okay and your Spirit Energy."
"Are you sure that this is safe?" Kitty said looking at the silver ball lying in her hand.
" Yes...quite sure...I've traveled by these myself." Koenma said smiling. " You may start anytime you wish."
" Right...let's all start together." Kurama said. " On the count of three."
" One...." Kitty said holding her breath.
" Two..." Alaira said squeezing her ball.
" And three!" Kurama said concentrating his Spirit Energy into the ball.
Kitty, Hiei, Alaira, and Kurama's Spirit Energy lit the balls up and then their bodies were sucked into the balls. They started glowing and then disappeared into another dimension.
" Well there they go...into what dangers they will encounter on this mission...I do not know... Ogre go get me some squid while I turn on this screen." Koenma said sucking on his pacifier.
" Right away sir." Ogre said walking off.
* We now see what Yusuke and Kuwabara are doing in this other dimension thing*
" Urameshi...how are we supposed to beat these things there are too many of them!" Kuwabara's annoying voice yelled as he tried to beat off these little people in tan cloaks.
" How do you expect me to know that, Kuwabara?!" Yusuke yelled back punching one of the things off of himself.
All of a sudden four glowing balls came down from the sky. They glowed bright colors and the hooded things ran from the light. When the things were gone two of the balls flew into a tree and the other two hovered above the ground. The balls unleashed an intense light and then the light disappeared and left Kitty and Hiei in a tree and Kurama and Alaira standing on the ground.
" Hey we made it!" Kitty said jumping to the ground.
" How did you guys get here?" Yusuke asked getting a confused look on his face.
" Um...we traveled here by energy balls, don't ask." Kitty said as Hiei jumped down behind her.
" Hiei! What are you doing here?" Yusuke yelped jumping.
" I didn't come by choice..." Hiei said looking up at the sky as he put his arm around Kitty.
" Enough you two...We're here to help you fight the Saint Beasts." Alaira said a bit annoyed at Kitty who was getting all of the attention.
" Who are these guys, Urameshi?" Kuwabara asked pointing at the group of demons. " I recognize the short, pretty girl as the one who dragged you into school the other month."
" That is Kitty. She's a real pain in the ass when it comes to schoolwork. The red head is Kurama. The black haired guy is Hiei, and the tall girl I don't know." Yusuke said pointing to each one as he said their name.
" I'm Alaira Rose Star. How are you? Kitty talks about you often Yusuke." Alaria said holding out her hand for Yusuke to shake.
" Hi...I wonder what Kitty says about me?" Yusuke said shaking Alaira's hand.
" She says that you are a juvenile delinquent that will never amount to anything if you don't go to school." Alaira said laughing.
" Really..." Yusuke said shooting Kitty a bird.
Kitty just crossed her two middle fingers and said " Twins...I win." and stuck her tongue out at him.
" Maybe we should be going before those hooded things come back..." Kuwabara said nervously.
" Well, I see that the tall idiot is scared." Hiei said looking at Kuwabara.
" I'm not scared you midget!" Kuwabara said crossing his arms.
" Shut up Kuwabara. Maybe we should go. I think that I saw an entrance to the castle at the bottom of this hill." Kitty said holding onto Hiei's hand.
" Very observant. Now can we go?" Yusuke said running down the hill closely followed by the rest of the gang.
They walked under the raised gate and into a small hallway. An eye with wings came fluttering out of nowhere. " Hi!" it said in a high-pitched voice. " Welcome to Maze Castle."
" What the hell are you?" Yusuke said looking up at the little thing with disgust.
" What I am is none of your business." the thing said. " To enter the rest of the castle you must first pass a test."
" What kind of test?" Yusuke asked again.
" You must first pass the Gate of Betrayal." the thing said again.
" What is the gate of betrayal?" Yusuke asked yet another time.
" You ask too many questions and you will find out what the Gate of Betrayal is." the thing answered.
"When?" Yusuke asked as Kitty shoved her elbow into his side as to tell him to hush.
" Now." the thing said laughing as it pulled a lever down and the low ceiling began to rapidly fall down on the gang. The ceiling was too low for them to run out from under quickly, and plus too heavy to push back up with their combined strength.
" You will not be able to push it back up. It balances out your combined strength and then adds more weight to that!" the purple eyeball laughed doing a loop-de-loop in the air.
" Why is it called the Gate of Betrayal then?" Kitty asked trying to hold up her own weight of the stone slab.
" It is called the Gate of Betrayal because only one who betrays his or her friends survives
and the rest die." the thing said laughing again.
Hiei looked at the open end of the hall like he wanted to run out and betray them. Kurama saw the look in Hiei's eyes and said, " Don't even think it Hiei."
Hiei just looked at him and then he looked at Kitty, next to him, who was trying her best to hold up the slab with the rest of them and shook the idea from his head.
" Wait I have an idea..." Yusuke said and the others looked at him. " Kitty, go out and pull that lever up and the trap will disengage."
" Me? Why me? Why not Hiei or Kurama?" Kitty said looking at Yusuke with disbelief.
" Because you're the smallest and I think, the fastest." Yusuke said.
" What makes you think that you can trust me Yusuke?" Kitty said half smiling.
" Your brother, Alaira, and Hiei. You wouldn't want them to die...I know you wouldn't." Yusuke said smiling.
" Right... here I go..." Kitty said taking her hands off the ceiling and then in a blur ran out from under the slab. She stopped when she reached the lever. She then looked back at Yusuke, Kurama, Hiei, Alaira, and Kuwabara trying to hold up the slab and then looked at the purple eyeball.
" Kitty, what are you waiting for?! Pull the damn lever!" Alaria shouted.
" Well it seems that a girl has chosen to betray her friends..." the eyeball said. " Follow me. Join the ranks of the Saint Beasts. They will give you the place as General in their army."
Kitty just put her hand on the lever as if considering. She then looked back at her friends who were still struggling.
" Kitty! Hurry!" Alaira yelled out again.
" Just leave them and come with me. The boulder would've killed you anyway if you had pulled the lever." the eyeball said turning around and starting to fly off.
" Boulder?" Kitty said to herself. She then launched herself at the eyeball and slashed it to pieces. She turned around and pulled the lever up, a big boulder came crashing down on her.
" KITTY!" Hiei yelled as the ceiling started to go back up. He ran up to the boulder followed by the others.
" Hey Kitty are you there?! Are you okay?!" Yusuke yelled out.
" I'm fine you big idjit." Kitty's voice said from somewhere around them.
" Where are you?" Alaira said looking around.
" Take a look above you genius." the voice said again.
The group looked up and saw Kitty sitting on top of the boulder laughing at their worried faces.
" You should have seen the look on your faces when that boulder came crashing down! It was sooo FUNNY!!" Kitty said rolling around laughing. She rolled off of the boulder and fell into Hiei's arms.
" Have we met before?" Kitty said looking Hiei in the eyes.
" Can it Kitty. You really scared us. We thought that you were dead." Kurama said petting his little sister on the head.
" You should have more faith in my intelligence brother." she said still in Hiei's arms.
" Kitty, you had me worried. I thought that you would actually leave us there to die for a minute. The way you were stalling to pull the lever." Yusuke said looking at her.
Kitty got out of Hiei's arms and then wiped the dust off of her clothes. " Well, the stalling proved positive in the end. I didn't get killed and you learned how much weight you can bench." she said laughing.
" Kitty..." Hiei said putting his arm around her shoulders.
Kitty just stuck her tongue out at Yusuke. He was trying to hold in his laughter and look serious at the same time. All he managed to do was look constipated.
" Let's press on. Shall we?" Kitty said walking down the hallway.
" Kurama, your sister is very scary...really scary. She can be serious one minute and then act like she's an idiot the next..." Kuwabara said walking beside Kurama.
" Yes. She does have a spilt personality, doesn't she? I guess it comes from being the only master ice/wind apparition in a whole line of powerful master fire apparitions. Her father is Lucifer, or as you would know him, the Lord of the Damned." Kurama said quietly so Kitty couldn't hear him.
" What!" Kuwabara quietly replied, even thought he was very surprised. " Kitty is the daughter of the Devil?"
" I guess...if that's the way you want to put it...she rather prefers The Daughter of the Damned. It fits her when she is in battle." Kurama said as he realized that Yusuke had been listening in on their conversation.
" So that's why she told me that she could make my life a living Hell, literally." Yusuke said to Alaira.
" She said that? That sounds like her all right. We better catch up with Hiei and Kitty before they get to far ahead and decide to pass the time waiting on us doing ...umm...well..." Alaira said faking a cough and walking faster.
Sure enough when Kurama, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Alaira caught up with Hiei and Kitty they were in a side hall kissing.
" Well looky what we found. A couple of lovebirds." Yusuke said laughing.
" Two short midgets in love? That's scary...real scary...scarier than the look Kitty's giving me right now, like she wants to murder me..." Kuwabara said his voice quavering at the words 'murder me'.
" Don't worry Kuwabara...I'll put you out of your misery soon enough." Kitty said flicking him off.
" You act like a girl version of Yusuke." Kuwabara said.
" Shut up bastard." Kitty said slapping him across the face and he fell face down on the stone floor.
" OWW!! What'd you do that for?" Kuwabara said sitting up.
" Cause you deserved it, duh." Kitty said turning around and walking off.
" That girl...." Kuwabara said to himself as he got up off the floor and followed the others down the hall.
