Chapter 3: The truth about, Enemies, friends, and elves, oh my! Part 1
As they walked through the streets of downtown; Sade had been looking around like she was expecting something or looking for someone. "Hey, what are you so excited for? You've been looking around like a mad women since we left Kurama's house," Yusuke growled in annoyance.
"Nothing, nothing don't worry about it," she said waving her hand at him. Sade continued to look high and low, till she stopped at an ally. 'Got ya.' She thought. Hiei had been keeping a closer eye on her, having read her mind at that point, 'got who, what's that woman up to.' "Umm. I think I see something down here, I'm going to check it out," She walked away from the group.
"Where are you going?" Hiei looked her strait in the eyes then heard a voice... her voice. ~Why do you care? ~ Hiei scowled at the voice and Sade smirked, running down the alley. "Hey where is she going now?" Yusuke yelled, "I think we should catch her first then ask questions," Hiei growled as he ran after her. "Well, hey wait up" Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara ran not too far behind him, and then lost him.
The ally was deep; it ran about two or three blocks into the deeper part of the town. They hit a dead end, "Wha...where'd they go?" Yusuke looked from wall to wall, confused. "I'm not sure...wait were did Sade go? It's a dead end, she couldn't have gotten out of here by climbing, and it's too high of a wall to jump," Yusuke looked the wall up and down.
"I don't sense Hiei anywhere, that's strange," Kurama was standing still, concentrating on his surroundings, trying to sense Hiei or Sade. Then there was a load scream, and a flash of light. "What the hell was that?" Kuwabara was sweating, he felt something powerful. "It came from the other side of the wall," Kurama said. "We'll have to go around," Yusuke yelled as he turned on his heals and ran back the other way.
***************
"Hiei!!" Sade screamed as Hiei fell to his knees in pain. In front of him was a man who looked about 25 or so, with short black hair, slicked back like Yusuke's. Sade watched Hiei sadly as he was clutching his gut, where he had been struck. "You bastard, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, leave him alone," Sade spat out at him.
The man laughed "You're so pathetic. You've never been able to do anything for yourself. You worthless human," He chuckled and Sade cringed. His laugh was like nails on a chalkboard to her. "I've gotten this far by myself, you asshole, so don't talk like you know a fucking thing about me."
Hiei stood again, now a little more prepared than before. "I don't care who you are or what business you have with her, but no one but I will kill you, nonetheless," Hiei growled. Hiei took his headband off to reveal the Jagan, which glowed in the dimness of the alley. "Ahh... so this is why you chose Japan to hideout in... its demons are quite powerful, but I think you misjudged this one," He laughed as Hiei growled again.
"Hiei don't, you don't know what he..." "Shut up bitch," the man said, cutting off Sade's words. "Stay out of this and leave him to me," Hiei sneered to Sade. Hiei lunged at the man but missed and was kicked into a wall; He got up from the floor and attacked again. "Is that all you've got," The man laughed as he dodged another attack from Hiei.
***************
"Come on, this way, I heard another scream," Yusuke yelled. Kurama ran ahead of Kuwabara to catch up to Yusuke, "what do you think happened," Kuwabara yelled to Kurama and Yusuke. "Just keep running stupid," Yusuke yelled over his shoulder. "You want a piece of me Urameshi? C'mon," Kuwabara caught up.
"Not now man, there are people to save," they reached the end of the ally just in time to see Hiei slammed against the ally wall again. "Hiei, please stop... he'll kill you, like he killed my mother, and my sister..." the Guys turned to see Sade trapped, bound fast against the wall. "What are you doing here, go, run get your asses out of here" she yelled. "Is he a demon?" Yusuke asked, "I don't think so," Kuwabara said.
"He's not a demon you idiots, He's like a... force of nature or something, but I won't allow any of you to assist me so back off," Sade yelled at the group, "Hah you couldn't hurt me if you tried, and even if you wanted to your still chained down so you can't move." There was that nails on chalkboard laugh again, Sade cringed at the sound.
The boys got into fighting stances, and then one by one they attacked him. Kurama was first to reach him but missed and instead had to dodge an attack that was aimed at him. Kuwabara was next but was worse off than Kurama for he didn't dodge the blow aimed at him. Now it was Yusuke's turn, he lunged at him with fierce speed and landed a punch to the jaw of the man, "You little prick, what the hell are you?"
The young man was somewhat shocked, "He's human you idiot." Hiei stood again even more pissed now. Then out of nowhere a girl jumped off the roof of one of the buildings surrounding them and lashed out at the young man catching him off guard. "Who are you?" Kurama asked, "Don't worry about it, just help Sade, I got this."
The girl started to change suddenly. She grew a tail and claws, her ears moved to the top of her head and became cat like. Stripes started to line her arms and legs. "... I'm just a friend" she smirked then attacked again just barely missing him, "Damn, he's faster than I thought," he got behind her and knocked her out, then looked at her face curiously "Hey I know you, you're..." He didn't get a chance to finish cuz he was cut off by Hiei's katana to his back.
"Back to what I was saying, who the hell are you...? Why did you attack her? I won't ask again," Hiei said dryly "Me? Well why don't you ask her," He pointed in Sade's direction. Hiei's expression was a mix of anger and surprise. When there was no answer, the man disappeared, re-emerging in front of her. Sade's face was downcast and it seemed that she was crying. "Now you break, that's fitting. You can't handle anything by yourself, like when I killed your mother, you were so scared. Your mother was such a gullible wench, it was so much fun to take her life and watch you cry in misery," He sneered.
The man was standing close to Sade now, but still could not see her face; though she was trembling at that point. "You're scared now I see, good, it will be much more pleasing to kill you when you're scared." He stepped forward and made a grab for her, Sade shot her head up to reveal her eyes were shining pure white, slight fangs were bared and a look of murder lined her features. "You bastard, I'm going to beat the shit out of and enjoy the sounds of your screams."
Sade stood and broke through the bonds that held her fast. "What the...? Where did you...?" He looked scared; he slowly started to back up, "What's the matter? You afraid of a measly, weak, human?" Sade started to float from the ground; she surrounded herself in a mass of energy then with some psychic energy she attacked and through the man through a wall.
Sade dove into the wall to strike again but he was gone when she reached the other side. "Wha...? Where'd he go?" Sade was confused but angrier than relieved, "NOO... He couldn't have run, damnit, where did he go? That asshole..." Sade screamed it out so loud that the ground shook. Now she looked ready to cry, but held it back.
"SADE!!!!" The mystery girl screamed as she jumped up to hug Sade, "Aye tejos mijo (Oh my god), it's you, I missed you so much. How have you been Ayanna? Why are you here? Oh my god it's so good to see you," Sade blurted the words out through happy tear, the two old friends hugged for a few minutes then let go of each other to face their audience. "Hn... I knew you weren't normal." Hiei smirked inwardly at the thought, "Great, she's a demon, what else is new?" Kuwabara slapped his hand to his forehead.
"I'm not a demon, I'm human. Truly I am." They looked at her skeptically. "Don't tell me you don't believe me?" "Well, you did just knock in a building wall," Kurama spoke while pointing to the ruins of the wall that no longer existed. Sade was determined to make them believe she was human "What do you want a birth certificate, my mother's back ground?" She didn't want them to be skeptical of her. It made her feel cut off, unnatural, condescended.
"Well you might want to throw in a physical as well," Kuwabara had to have his say in the matter. "Listen smartass." She grabbed his shirt and lifted him off his feet. "Don't fuck with me right now, I'm not in the mood," She then gently put him down, still a little scared. Sade walked over to Ayanna, then started to catch up on old times.
She calmed down shortly after and explained the situation to the group of astounded men. "Ok, explain that once more... in English this time," Yusuke was lost, Sade blushed, she hadn't realized that she was blurting it all out in Spanish; even Ayanna couldn't keep up with her, and she could understand Spanish. Sade took a deep breath and started over, "He is my step-father. Or used to be, he was a total jerk I never liked him." She breathed and looked at the stain of blood on the alley walls and ground.
"His name was Theodore Trevino, god I thought that was a corny name, some people called him Trevino, though I would have called him a dick, you don't know how much I would have loved to kick..." Ayanna cleared her throat to knock Sade off her tangent. Sade flushed a little and sadly looked at the ground, "Sorry..." Yusuke groaned; having a deep seeded feeling that this story wasn't going to be short and sweet. Kurama nudged him and urged Sade to continue. "you see, one day when my mom... she... she was driving me from school... and he... he attacked our car." Sade sounded broken up and on the verge of tears but yet she still held them back and instead started to growl.
"We crashed... but we were alright... my mom was unconscious so I tried to wake her up but she was injured... A man came to the car door and ripped it off its hinges... I thought he was going to save us but he just pulled my mom out and dragged her into an alley, I struggled to get out and when I did I ran after him... I saw the man holding my mom up by her neck she was even more bloody than she was when we crashed, I believe he must have beat her pretty bad... then he... then he looked at me with cold black eyes and stabbed her through her chest, I was so scared I couldn't move, I thought full hearted that he was going to kill me, but he just took off the mask that covered his hideous face and laughed. It was him, that son of a bitch murdered my mom."
Sade slammed her fist into the ground, the tears were falling freely now, she could not hold them back while bringing back such a memory, no... it wasn't just a memory, it was a nightmare. "But why? Why would he do such a thing?" Kurama felt sorry for her but felt the need to ask, "For these" Sade pointed to three places on her body. Her necklace, her forehead, and her back, all having some weird symbol on them, the symbols on her back and forehead being burn scars. "What does that have to do with anything?" Kuwabara asked totally lost.
"Let me finish... at that moment he was going to kill me but something stopped him... it was the necklace that my mother gave me when I was a baby. I had not known that it held some kind of power within it. It was my mother's and my... it was our symbol, that's what she called it. It protected me, but... why didn't it help her? Why? She had the same necklace, but hers protected me instead, it burned the symbol into my skin where its power now resides. That's what that bastard wanted... the power in those fucking charms, but there power is in me now and that's what he seeks."
The group could see and feel her power emanating off her body, at first it spooked them because of its enormous strength, but relaxed when they sensed that its strength was fueled by her rage and despair, which meant when she calmed down so would her power. "I stayed there that night by her side crying out in misery, I had hurt Trevino badly not knowing how until the last charm had placed itself in my body and that was in my head, from then on I knew everything I needed to know and everything I didn't know, I went to school for. But he would always follow, to try and kill me. Around then I used to just run, lie low, and then find a new place to stay."
"I see now, that's why you signed up to be an exchange student," Kurama concluded. Sade nodded, "But now I can't run from him any more, I must fight back, I have to kill him for my mami and I, I had gathered enough friends along the way and I'll explain that later, pero primera (but first)..." everyone stared at her expecting some revenge plot or some kind of plan but... "But first... let's get something to eat, I'm starving"
She smiled as her stomach growled. Everyone fell over anime style, "Well I guess that means she's going to be fine for now," Ayanna laughed uneasily. Sade jumped up "Is there a buffet around here?" She looked at Yusuke who just shrugged "I don't live around here, ask Kurama" Yusuke pointed in his direction "I think there might be one down the street to the left." Kurama didn't get a chance to finish, Sade was gone, she ran almost as fast as Hiei or about the same.
*********************
She refilled her plate six times at that buffet, and then had gotten ice cream afterward. "Damn girl, you haven't changed in years," Ayanna said smiling. "What's that suppose to mean?" Sade looked offended, "Nothing, nothing, don't worry about it," Ayanna waved her off, laughing silently to herself. "So now that you have eaten that place to bankruptcy lets go do something fun," Yusuke suggested, "Yeah" Sade and Ayanna perked up.
"I want to go to a movie..." Ayanna shouted, "Hmmm... I don't know, how about games, or..." Sade stopped herself for a second, and then smiled. 'Oh goody, it starts...' Sade thought, Hiei picked that up as well, 'Now what is she up to?' He thought "...Or?" Ayanna persisted, "Or I'll just take a walk in the park till I think of something better." Sade smiled and looked at Hiei, who seemed to be staring at her pointedly, "What are you planning? What other little 'secrets' are you keeping?" he scowled at his curiosity but couldn't help himself.
"Well little Jaganshi what do you think I'm up to, if I am at all." Sade grinned at their shocked and confused expressions. "Wait a second, how did you know he was a Jaganshi?" Yusuke asked crossing his arms. "I'm not stupid, I know a lot about all of you, it also helps to be able to look through people's memories..." She giggled when they sweat dropped, then pointed to Yusuke "... and their thoughts, mister 'why change when you look good in a towel'." Yusuke blushed slightly, remembering the thought that crossed his mind when he first met her. "What else do you know then?" Kurama asked, only half interested.
"I know that Yusuke's a spirit detective, you're a Youko, Hiei's a half- Koorime/fire-demon, and he's just a human, like me." Sade finished up by pointing at Kuwabara over her shoulder. She took a deep breath and looked around at the boys, whose faces were of astonishment and amazement, maybe a little fear of her past reading ability. "Well I don't know about you guys but I'm going to walk around the park to work off some of this food, then I can go back again later..." the group gave a collective sweatdrop and Sade couldn't help but laugh at them.
"Just kidding, I may be a pig but I do know my limits," Sade strolled away in the direction of the park. "Well I guess we're walking for now," Kuwabara said. "Hey Sade wait up I still have so much to tell you... about all the things I did while I was looking for you," Ayanna ran to her side and started to describe her travels and encounters.
They walked through the park together, each one in their own little world, not paying attention to anything or anyone around them. One by one they all started to realize they had been separated from one another. "Wait a minute, where'd everyone go? They just disappeared" Yusuke said, just realizing his unfamiliar surroundings. He just walked around till he came to a large tree and decided to take a rest. "Damn, where the hell am I?"
He looked around for a few seconds then listened, he heard something, it was a woman's voice. Singing. "What the..." he looked up into the tree and could have sworn there was someone in it but he didn't see anyone. He heard it again; it was around the tree, on the other side. Yusuke got up and walked to the other side of the tree, but still no one. He continuously walked around the tree, but instead of finding the source of the music he started to hear giggling, "What the hell? Who's there? I swear I'm going to pound your face in if you don't show yourself."
He threatened the voice; the voice just giggled and moved around him, "Who the hell are you? Come out and show me," Yusuke looked all around then turned around to see a young girl with silver hair and violet eyes, she was beautiful, she giggle then disappeared in a flash, "Whoa who the..." this continued for a few minutes, then the girl tapped him on the shoulder, "Hello, were you looking for me?" Yusuke turned to grab her but she was gone again. "Damnit I'm going to shoot you if you don't stay still," She still giggled at him.
"Aww, you're no fun" The childish voice whined. She then reappeared right in front of him, "Hi" she waved in his face, Yusuke's heart almost stopped, "Oh SHIT..." Yusuke jumped back then growled at her "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" Yusuke yelled at her. She looked at him with big violet eyes, then broke out into tears, "You're so mean," she put her hands over her face and cried her eyes out. "Aww man, look I didn't mean it," she sniffled a little bit, then looked at him again. "You mean it?" "Yeah... I do," not really meaning it at all. "K. I'm Hellen, Hi" She smiled brightening up in a second's time. "Whoa, weren't you just crying a second ago?" She nodded, 'Oh man, I got a real strange one,' He thought. "I'm Yusuke," She smiled at him brightly.
******************
Kuwabara walked around just noticing his loneliness "Hey where are you guys? Urameshi, Kurama, shorty?" he wandered around till he came across a girl sitting near a stream, reading. 'Hey she's pretty' He thought, "Um hey... excuse me, miss, do you know where we are?" Kuwabara walked a little closer to her, "I know where you are, yes, and I know who you are." The young girl looked up at him and smiled "Kazuma Kuwabara" She said his name like she had known him forever, "Huh? Who are you? How do you know me?"
Kuwabara was trying to think of a time, any time at all, that he had met this girl. She was tall with long reddish-orange hair, really pale skin, and big blue eyes. "I've never seen you before in my life," Kuwabara said still thinking. "I've never seen you before either," She laughed. "Kuwabara fell over, "then how do you know my name?" he blinked at her. "Don't worry about it" She shook her head, "My name is Catharine," She smiled at him. "O... K, then I'll just stay here with you," He sat down next her and they started a conversation.
*************
In another part of the park, Kurama was walking on the trail, already aware of his friends' absences. "Hmm... now which way should I go?" He thought out loud, He started walking faster noticing he was being followed. 'Who could that be? Might be a demon, I had better keep an eye out," He stopped in a clearing, and then looked around "Who is there? Come out this instant," there was a rustle in the bushes, then a figure jumped out from the shadows. "Got ya Boris," A female voice said as the figure jumped Kurama.
"That hurt... are you alright Boris? Hey you're not Boris... Aww man" The girl whined while still sitting on Kurama's back, "Sorry I wasn't who you thought I was, but... can you perhaps... get off of me?" She looked down at him then smiled exposing long fangs. "Uww, you look good enough to eat," she bent down to his neck and licked her lips, "excuse me?" Kurama looked nervous for a second then noticed a faint smell of something; he just couldn't put his fingers on it. By the time he understood it she was a few centimeters from his neck, "You're dead," he jumped up pushing her off, she then transformed into a wolf and attacked him.
"Don't worry it won't hurt, for long" She jumped on top of him then tried to bite into his neck but he pulled out his rose wipe and that's what she bit. She howled in pain then started to cry "What did... you *sniff*... do that *sniff* for?" Kurama looked at her in amazement, "You attacked me, I did the only thing I could do... protect myself," She looked at him teary eyed "What kind of human are you? You taste funny" "Taste? But you didn't bite m..."
That's when he noticed his shoulder had been cut; she was licking his blood off her paw before transforming back into her normal state. "I see, well I hate to disappoint you but. I'm not human, well not fully anyway," He explained it to her. "O... ok, well um yea, I am dead, well undead, no wait, uhhh, a vampiress if you wanna get technical, my name is Lauren and you are?" "Kurama, It's a pleasure to meet you." (Hey who knew you could have a conversation with a vampire, or vampiress, whatever)
***************
Hiei fallowed Sade, wanting to keep an eye, or three, on her. "Why exactly did you come with me again?" Sade didn't even look at him, "Cuz you cause too much trouble, that's why." He growled, "Whatever," Sade stopped, suddenly, causing Hiei to walk into her, "Hey bitch, tell people when you stop." Sade didn't turn to look at him; she only stood there, frozen. A few minutes later she turned to look at him with cold white eyes, which made Hiei jump back, in a flash reaction, and then she took off. 'What the hell was that? What was wrong with her?' He growled to himself before taking off after her.
*************Authors note***************

"Well, you did just knock in a building wall," Kurama spoke while pointing to the ruins of the wall that no longer existed. Sade was determined to make them believe she was human "What do you want a birth certificate, my mother's back ground?" She didn't want them to be skeptical of her. It made her feel cut off, unnatural, condescended.
"Well you might want to throw in a physical as well," Kuwabara had to have his say in the matter. "Listen smartass." She grabbed his shirt and lifted him off his feet. "Don't fuck with me right now, I'm not in the mood," She then gently put him down, still a little scared. Sade walked over to Ayanna, then started to catch up on old times.
She calmed down shortly after and explained the situation to the group of astounded men. "Ok, explain that once more... in English this time," Yusuke was lost, Sade blushed, she hadn't realized that she was blurting it all out in Spanish; even Ayanna couldn't keep up with her, and she could understand Spanish. Sade took a deep breath and started over, "He is my step-father. Or used to be, he was a total jerk I never liked him." She breathed and looked at the stain of blood on the alley walls and ground.
"His name was Theodore Trevino, god I thought that was a corny name, some people called him Trevino, though I would have called him a dick, you don't know how much I would have loved to kick..." Ayanna cleared her throat to knock Sade off her tangent. Sade flushed a little and sadly looked at the ground, "Sorry..." Yusuke groaned; having a deep seeded feeling that this story wasn't going to be short and sweet. Kurama nudged him and urged Sade to continue. "you see, one day when my mom... she... she was driving me from school... and he... he attacked our car." Sade sounded broken up and on the verge of tears but yet she still held them back and instead started to growl.
"We crashed... but we were alright... my mom was unconscious so I tried to wake her up but she was injured... A man came to the car door and ripped it off its hinges... I thought he was going to save us but he just pulled my mom out and dragged her into an alley, I struggled to get out and when I did I ran after him... I saw the man holding my mom up by her neck she was even more bloody than she was when we crashed, I believe he must have beat her pretty bad... then he... then he looked at me with cold black eyes and stabbed her through her chest, I was so scared I couldn't move, I thought full hearted that he was going to kill me, but he just took off the mask that covered his hideous face and laughed. It was him, that son of a bitch murdered my mom."
Sade slammed her fist into the ground, the tears were falling freely now, she could not hold them back while bringing back such a memory, no... it wasn't just a memory, it was a nightmare. "But why? Why would he do such a thing?" Kurama felt sorry for her but felt the need to ask, "For these" Sade pointed to three places on her body. Her necklace, her forehead, and her back, all having some weird symbol on them, the symbols on her back and forehead being burn scars. "What does that have to do with anything?" Kuwabara asked totally lost.
"Let me finish... at that moment he was going to kill me but something stopped him... it was the necklace that my mother gave me when I was a baby. I had not known that it held some kind of power within it. It was my mother's and my... it was our symbol, that's what she called it. It protected me, but... why didn't it help her? Why? She had the same necklace, but hers protected me instead, it burned the symbol into my skin where its power now resides. That's what that bastard wanted... the power in those fucking charms, but there power is in me now and that's what he seeks."
The group could see and feel her power emanating off her body, at first it spooked them because of its enormous strength, but relaxed when they sensed that its strength was fueled by her rage and despair, which meant when she calmed down so would her power. "I stayed there that night by her side crying out in misery, I had hurt Trevino badly not knowing how until the last charm had placed itself in my body and that was in my head, from then on I knew everything I needed to know and everything I didn't know, I went to school for. But he would always follow, to try and kill me. Around then I used to just run, lie low, and then find a new place to stay."
"I see now, that's why you signed up to be an exchange student," Kurama concluded. Sade nodded, "But now I can't run from him any more, I must fight back, I have to kill him for my mami and I, I had gathered enough friends along the way and I'll explain that later, pero primera (but first)..." everyone stared at her expecting some revenge plot or some kind of plan but... "But first... let's get something to eat, I'm starving"
She smiled as her stomach growled. Everyone fell over anime style, "Well I guess that means she's going to be fine for now," Ayanna laughed uneasily. Sade jumped up "Is there a buffet around here?" She looked at Yusuke who just shrugged "I don't live around here, ask Kurama" Yusuke pointed in his direction "I think there might be one down the street to the left." Kurama didn't get a chance to finish, Sade was gone, she ran almost as fast as Hiei or about the same.
*********************
She refilled her plate six times at that buffet, and then had gotten ice cream afterward. "Damn girl, you haven't changed in years," Ayanna said smiling. "What's that suppose to mean?" Sade looked offended, "Nothing, nothing, don't worry about it," Ayanna waved her off, laughing silently to herself. "So now that you have eaten that place to bankruptcy lets go do something fun," Yusuke suggested, "Yeah" Sade and Ayanna perked up.
"I want to go to a movie..." Ayanna shouted, "Hmmm... I don't know, how about games, or..." Sade stopped herself for a second, and then smiled. 'Oh goody, it starts...' Sade thought, Hiei picked that up as well, 'Now what is she up to?' He thought "...Or?" Ayanna persisted, "Or I'll just take a walk in the park till I think of something better." Sade smiled and looked at Hiei, who seemed to be staring at her pointedly, "What are you planning? What other little 'secrets' are you keeping?" he scowled at his curiosity but couldn't help himself.
"Well little Jaganshi what do you think I'm up to, if I am at all." Sade grinned at their shocked and confused expressions. "Wait a second, how did you know he was a Jaganshi?" Yusuke asked crossing his arms. "I'm not stupid, I know a lot about all of you, it also helps to be able to look through people's memories..." She giggled when they sweat dropped, then pointed to Yusuke "... and their thoughts, mister 'why change when you look good in a towel'." Yusuke blushed slightly, remembering the thought that crossed his mind when he first met her. "What else do you know then?" Kurama asked, only half interested.
"I know that Yusuke's a spirit detective, you're a Youko, Hiei's a half- Koorime/fire-demon, and he's just a human, like me." Sade finished up by pointing at Kuwabara over her shoulder. She took a deep breath and looked around at the boys, whose faces were of astonishment and amazement, maybe a little fear of her past reading ability. "Well I don't know about you guys but I'm going to walk around the park to work off some of this food, then I can go back again later..." the group gave a collective sweatdrop and Sade couldn't help but laugh at them.
"Just kidding, I may be a pig but I do know my limits," Sade strolled away in the direction of the park. "Well I guess we're walking for now," Kuwabara said. "Hey Sade wait up I still have so much to tell you... about all the things I did while I was looking for you," Ayanna ran to her side and started to describe her travels and encounters.
They walked through the park together, each one in their own little world, not paying attention to anything or anyone around them. One by one they all started to realize they had been separated from one another. "Wait a minute, where'd everyone go? They just disappeared" Yusuke said, just realizing his unfamiliar surroundings. He just walked around till he came to a large tree and decided to take a rest. "Damn, where the hell am I?"
He looked around for a few seconds then listened, he heard something, it was a woman's voice. Singing. "What the..." he looked up into the tree and could have sworn there was someone in it but he didn't see anyone. He heard it again; it was around the tree, on the other side. Yusuke got up and walked to the other side of the tree, but still no one. He continuously walked around the tree, but instead of finding the source of the music he started to hear giggling, "What the hell? Who's there? I swear I'm going to pound your face in if you don't show yourself."
He threatened the voice; the voice just giggled and moved around him, "Who the hell are you? Come out and show me," Yusuke looked all around then turned around to see a young girl with silver hair and violet eyes, she was beautiful, she giggle then disappeared in a flash, "Whoa who the..." this continued for a few minutes, then the girl tapped him on the shoulder, "Hello, were you looking for me?" Yusuke turned to grab her but she was gone again. "Damnit I'm going to shoot you if you don't stay still," She still giggled at him.
"Aww, you're no fun" The childish voice whined. She then reappeared right in front of him, "Hi" she waved in his face, Yusuke's heart almost stopped, "Oh SHIT..." Yusuke jumped back then growled at her "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" Yusuke yelled at her. She looked at him with big violet eyes, then broke out into tears, "You're so mean," she put her hands over her face and cried her eyes out. "Aww man, look I didn't mean it," she sniffled a little bit, then looked at him again. "You mean it?" "Yeah... I do," not really meaning it at all. "K. I'm Hellen, Hi" She smiled brightening up in a second's time. "Whoa, weren't you just crying a second ago?" She nodded, 'Oh man, I got a real strange one,' He thought. "I'm Yusuke," She smiled at him brightly.
******************
Kuwabara walked around just noticing his loneliness "Hey where are you guys? Urameshi, Kurama, shorty?" he wandered around till he came across a girl sitting near a stream, reading. 'Hey she's pretty' He thought, "Um hey... excuse me, miss, do you know where we are?" Kuwabara walked a little closer to her, "I know where you are, yes, and I know who you are." The young girl looked up at him and smiled "Kazuma Kuwabara" She said his name like she had known him forever, "Huh? Who are you? How do you know me?"
Kuwabara was trying to think of a time, any time at all, that he had met this girl. She was tall with long reddish-orange hair, really pale skin, and big blue eyes. "I've never seen you before in my life," Kuwabara said still thinking. "I've never seen you before either," She laughed. "Kuwabara fell over, "then how do you know my name?" he blinked at her. "Don't worry about it" She shook her head, "My name is Catharine," She smiled at him. "O... K, then I'll just stay here with you," He sat down next her and they started a conversation.
*************
In another part of the park, Kurama was walking on the trail, already aware of his friends' absences. "Hmm... now which way should I go?" He thought out loud, He started walking faster noticing he was being followed. 'Who could that be? Might be a demon, I had better keep an eye out," He stopped in a clearing, and then looked around "Who is there? Come out this instant," there was a rustle in the bushes, then a figure jumped out from the shadows. "Got ya Boris," A female voice said as the figure jumped Kurama.
"That hurt... are you alright Boris? Hey you're not Boris... Aww man" The girl whined while still sitting on Kurama's back, "Sorry I wasn't who you thought I was, but... can you perhaps... get off of me?" She looked down at him then smiled exposing long fangs. "Uww, you look good enough to eat," she bent down to his neck and licked her lips, "excuse me?" Kurama looked nervous for a second then noticed a faint smell of something; he just couldn't put his fingers on it. By the time he understood it she was a few centimeters from his neck, "You're dead," he jumped up pushing her off, she then transformed into a wolf and attacked him.
"Don't worry it won't hurt, for long" She jumped on top of him then tried to bite into his neck but he pulled out his rose wipe and that's what she bit. She howled in pain then started to cry "What did... you *sniff*... do that *sniff* for?" Kurama looked at her in amazement, "You attacked me, I did the only thing I could do... protect myself," She looked at him teary eyed "What kind of human are you? You taste funny" "Taste? But you didn't bite m..."
That's when he noticed his shoulder had been cut; she was licking his blood off her paw before transforming back into her normal state. "I see, well I hate to disappoint you but. I'm not human, well not fully anyway," He explained it to her. "O... ok, well um yea, I am dead, well undead, no wait, uhhh, a vampiress if you wanna get technical, my name is Lauren and you are?" "Kurama, It's a pleasure to meet you." (Hey who knew you could have a conversation with a vampire, or vampiress, whatever)
***************
Hiei fallowed Sade, wanting to keep an eye, or three, on her. "Why exactly did you come with me again?" Sade didn't even look at him, "Cuz you cause too much trouble, that's why." He growled, "Whatever," Sade stopped, suddenly, causing Hiei to walk into her, "Hey bitch, tell people when you stop." Sade didn't turn to look at him; she only stood there, frozen. A few minutes later she turned to look at him with cold white eyes, which made Hiei jump back, in a flash reaction, and then she took off. 'What the hell was that? What was wrong with her?' He growled to himself before taking off after her.
