Chapter 16: A Priestess in Training

Kii walked slowly up to a temple, uncertain. Kii slowly opened the door to the temple, and the rock door made a soft scraping noise across the floor. Kii closed the door behind her, and walked up the aisle, heading towards the stage.

"Aah, what can I do for you?" a priest asked.

Kii jumped, startled. "Um... My father used to be a priest here," she began.

"Oh, what was your father's name?"

"His name was Kazerume Toushi," Kii said slowly.

The priest looked shocked for a second.

"I knew your father. We were good friends," the priest explained with a smile.

"Oh," she said, a bit uncomfortable, "Then you know."

"Know about what?"

"About what happened," she responded, fidgeting behind her back.

"No, I'm sorry. I know nothing that happened," he answered.

"Oh okay then," she responded, not wanting to go any farther.

"What brings you here, then?" he asked figuring that she didn't want to say anymore.

"I want to become a priestess," she said, without hesitation.

"May I ask, why?"

"I don't know," she lied, "I just want to."

"Then please follow me," he instructed her leading her to the back of the temple.

Kii followed.

End of the day

Kii came through the door, tired and sore. She gave everyone a sleepy smile and went into the kitchen to grab some dinner.

"Kii, what happened to you?" asked Kat not mad anymore.

"Nothing," Kii smiled sleepily at her, and then grabbed a packet of ramen and began to cook it.

Kat just then noticed that Kii never changed from that morning. "You're still in the priestess outfit."

"Huh? Oh yeah," she answered looking down at the red kimono, "So?"

"I thought you hated wearing that," Kat replied.

"I do. But it was important," Kii responded, sitting down on the couch to eat her ramen.

"Okay," Kat said knowing that Sakia or Sayo would tell her to stop bugging Kii. "Tomorrow morning I won't be here," Kat added. "And I won't be back for a while okay?"

"I'll be gone tomorrow morning also," Kii replied.

"Why?" Kurama asked.

"For something important," Kii responded.

"And I have something to take care of," Kat answered.

"Well, I'm tired. I'm going to bed. Someone wake me up early tomorrow," Kii said, standing up and stretching.

"Okay," Sayo answered.

"Okay. 'Night," Kii said, going to her room.

"'Night," everyone said back.

One week later

Kii came home with a big smile on her face, but still looked tired, like she has all this week.

"What have you been doing all week? You've been tired every night," asked Sayo.

"I've been training," Kii smiled, "And I've finished."

"Training for what?" questioned Sakia.

"To be a priestess," Kii responded, her grin widening.

"Wow," the two said.

"Now I can actually perform ceremonies- legally," she grinned, "So everything I've performed up to this point has been illegal."

"Illegal? How illegal!" Sayo exclaimed, alarmed.

"So, are you going to tell us?" asked Sakia.

"Really illegal," she said with a grin, "Especially the one bringing back Sai. That was illegal anyway."

"How much trouble are you in if someone found out?"

"Um... A lot?" she answered.

Kurama came in looking a bit sad.

"What is it, Kurama?" Kii asked.

"I just came back from Koenma's. He said that Kat turned herself in," he explained not looking at Kii directly.

Kii's face fell, "She what?"

"She turned herself in," he repeated.

Kii was silent for awhile before she headed to the door.

"You won't be able to break her out. Koenma locked her up in highest security," Kurama said after her.

"Who said I was going after her? I respect her choice," Kii answered.

"I was just letting you know," he replied back.

"Yeah," Kii replied leaving.

"She's been wearing those kimonos all week," Sayo noted, "We should have noticed."

"You're right," answered Sakia. "Kat has been gone all this time too."

"Yeah," Sayo shook her head bitterly.

"I guess life hasn't gone back to normal," Sakia replied quietly.

"Of course not," Sayo said.

"There was something else that I didn't tell Kii," Kurama stated.

"What was it?" Sakia asked.

"Kat might be killed for her crimes," he said softly.

"This is perfect," Sayo grinned.

"I couldn't tell Kii. I don't know why," Kurama stated. "Maybe I should have," he added.

"We have to let the information slip to Kii," Sayo chattered quickly.

"How?"

"Hmm... We need to figure out who trained her to become a priestess. He might be able to slip it to her," Sakia said reasonably.

"Okay, we should follow her," Sayo said.

"Agreed," Sakia grinned.

"I'm going to go back and see how Kat's fairing with the news," Kurama added leaving.

"Alright. Bye Kurama!" Sayo and Sakia waved.

Sayo and Sakia ran after Kii, grinning the whole way.

"I hope this works," Sakia said.

"Me too," said a grinning Sayo.

The girls silently followed Kii to a stone temple, overlooking a village.

"How may I help you two?" a priest asked the girls when they entered.

"Um... we're looking for the person who trained Kazerume Kii," Sayo said.

"That would be me," he stated. "What can I do for you?"

"Well..." Sakia whispered the information and the plan to him, "Will you do it?"

"Yes, I don't see why not," he replied.

"Thanks," Sakia grinned, "We got to go now though. Bye!" the two girls waved.

"Bye," he answered with a smile.

The girls left.

"Kii, why are you here today?" the priest asked walking into the back.

"Huh? Oh. Nothing," She gave him a fake smile.

"Did you hear the news?" he asked her.

"What news?" She asked.

"They say that Akai Noraneko turned herself in, and they are planning on killing her for the crimes she committed," he explained.

"What!" Kii jumped up.

"That's what I heard," he replied. "Is something the matter?"

"Um... nothing. I've got to go," Kii said, running out the door.

The priest smiled to himself as she left.

With Kat

Kat was locked up in the most high tech security around. Nothing could get in or out without tripping something unless they had permission to be there.

"Kurama?" Kat asked shocked looking up after the door slammed shut. "What are you doing here? And how did you find out?"

"I came to see how you are taking the news," he replied. "And everyone knows that Akai Noraneko turned herself in."

"Oh," she sighed. "I know what they are planning to do to me, and... I'm okay with it," she said pulling her knees to her chin.

"Kii isn't happy with you. Even though she didn't say it," he replied.

"What else is new? Tell her that I need to, and hey maybe she could bring me back," Kat said with a chuckle.

With Kii

Kii sighed, and stood outside the gates of Reikai.

"Kii?" Kurama said walking out of Reikai.

"Oh hi Kurama," Kii said with a smile.

"You okay?" he asked looking at her.

"Yeah. I came to visit. Where's Yusuke?" Kii asked.

"I think that he's yelling at Koenma about another mission," Kurama explained.

"Oh then I should probably wait until he's finished, ne?" Kii asked.

"It might be awhile. This mission is something that he doesn't want to do," Kurama said.

"Oh okay. I'll wait," Kii responded, "Why what is it?"

Kurama stayed quiet not looking into her eyes.

"What is it?" Kii demanded.

He took a deep breath. "You might not want to hear it," he stated.

"Knowing is better than not knowing," Kii replied.

"I warned you. He is assigned to kill Kat if they decided to kill her," he quietly answered lowering her head.

"Oh," Kii answered.

"He doesn't want to, but he is going to have to," Kurama said. "There is no way of saving her, Kii."

"Your right. There isn't."

"You should go see her."

"Yeah," Kii said heading in.

"Oh, Kii?"

"Yeah?" Kii asked turning to him.

"Hang in there," he said with a small smile.

"Arigatou," Kii responded, opening the door.

Kii walked down to Kat's cell.

"Kii?" Kat asked. "You mad?" she asked.

Kii didn't say a word and took out two acupuncture needles from her pockets, and accurately threw them into her neck. Kat collapsed, and wasn't breathing.
