Chapter 6:

This Sucks

Mika stared at the campfire in front of her. The flames danced in a heated waltz consuming the fire wood they had found in the forest. The group had continued their travels to the portal with little problems. They should reach the portal the next day.

' Soon…soon I'll be back. I wonder how much has changed. Who could be responsible for the chaos in the Land?' Mika sighed in frustration.

"You should get some sleep." Glancing behind her Mika caught sight of Kurama coming and sitting next to her. Turning back to the fire she ignored him. He watched her. The fire illuminated her face. You could see the restlessness in her eyes.

'Such beautiful eyes' He thought and mentally smirked. Unlike Hiei, Kurama had no problem admiring beauty. His eyes fell upon her neck. From this position he could see the tattoo clearly. Two curves hooked together. Both a deep crimson. There was something familiar about the mark.

"What does that mark mean?" Mika who had been in deep thought came back suddenly.

"Huh? What mark?" She turned towards him slightly.

"The one on your neck. What does it mean?" Mika raised an eyebrow.

"Why?" Like she'd really give away such info to a stranger.

'A cute stranger…..NO NONONONONO! Bad Mika Down girl' Mika mentally slapped herself.

"I was just wondering. It seemed familiar some how." Mika nodded and turned back to the fire.

"It should. That's the mark of my clan. My fathers the leader. I believe you met him at one point. Does the name Tianyu ring a bell?"

"Oh yes that's right I remember now." How could he forget, Tianyu was a powerful Kitsune. He had met and joined with him occasionally on different raids.

"Haven't seen him in years."

"Niether have I."

"Don't you keep in touch with him." Mika shook her head.

"Not for 5 years. Me and Terri both left our demon relatives. Don't get me wrong. We love our families but after we escaped the Land and our families heard what had happened to us they became over protective. It got to the point where we weren't even aloud to leave our houses alone. Especially Terri's family. Her father is a powerful Shadow demon and is extremely protective of Terri ,though my dad's no better." Mika added.

"Is that mark on her neck of her family too?"

"The sun? Yeah."

"So you guys left because they were over protective?"

"Yep and haven't seen 'em since." There was a silence. The two stared out at the fire lost in their own thoughts.

In a tree not far away Hiei sat in deep thought as well.

THE NEXT DAY

The group is walking casually through the forest. Ultimately things are the same as the days before. Kuwabara and Yusuke talking loudly. After a few hours of walking the group came to a clearing where, low and behold, was the portal.

"Finally!" Yusuke sighed. "We can go home!" Upon approaching the portal however a figure stepped in front of them. He wore a cloak so the couldn't see his face

"Hey buddy…what's the big idea." Yusuke glared. Kuwabara jumped in front of Yusuke.

"Yeah…move it before I pound you."

"Heh…" The figure chuckled, "You hardly worth my time..human..I've come for the hiers…"

"Hiers?" Kurama raised an eyebrow. Mika stepped forward.

"He means us.." Hiei popped up next to her.

"What exactly are you heirs to?" Terri growled and Mika shook her head.

"Well come on now. We don't have all day"

"I don't see why we should go with you?" Terri reached down and picked Kiro up. Mika would be handling this for now.

"Simple…if you two wish to see you mothers again you have to come with me." Mika's eyes darkened at this and Terri growled.

"What makes you think we want to see them again?" Mika smirked.

/Terri/

/I know/ The figure shrugged.

"Just thought you'd want to ease their pain a little. They're suffering so much…" Mika and Terri continued with their façade but the guys could tell his words effected them greatly.

"That's it…" Yusuke murmured. "SPIRIT GUN!" Yusuke's attack went straight for the guy only to have him dodge. Kuwabara stepped up with his spirit sword and Kurama joined with his rose whip. But they were stopped once again by Terri's barrier. Mika stood in front of them, Terri slightly behind holding Kiro.

"What the hell!" Yusuke yelled.

"Detectives. Your mission was to bring us to Koenma. This doesn't concern you so we'll be handling it. Just sit tight and watch okay." Mika turned and flashed them a smile.

"My aren't we confident." The figure chuckled. He brought out a whip and cracked it menacingly. "I guess we will be doing this the hard way."

"Who sent you?" Mika asked, the whip not bothering her one bit.

"Wouldn't you like to know!" The figure attacked, his aim dead on. Mika didn't show any sign of moving or even blocking.

"What the hell is she thinking!" Yusuke yelled.

"Mika. Look out!" Kurama called as the whip glowed and split into two tails before hitting her…or at least the should of. The attack was suddenly repelled by a gust of wind. The whip flew back toward the figure who caught it and swore.

"I forgot the runt had telepathic powers." Terri raised an eyebrow and smirked.

"Who said that was Terri?" Mika smiled. The figure growled and attacked Mika again. She jumped up and flipped so she was behind him crouching. Without wasting a second she summoned vines to come up and hold the figure securely.

"Shit" He struggled, trying to get free. Mika calmly walked around the front of him.

"If your the caliber of minions he's sending then your employer painfully underestimates us." She frowned when he started laughing.

"Hear me half breeds…you've been warned." Slowly the figure begins to melt forming a puddle on the ground which is quickly sucked into the earth. Mika blinked.

'What the hell..?' The others come up next to her and stare at the spot where their enemy had been but moments ago.

"That was…odd…" Yusuke commented.

"Hn" Hiei glanced over at Terri. She was looking thoughtful before turning away.

"What just happened." Hiei sighed and glared at Kuwabara for his stupidity.

"Well come on. We better go now before there are any more obstacles. " Kurama motioned for everyone to head toward the portal.

Terri POV

"Hey Mika?"

"Yes Kiro…"

"Is that weirdo gonna come back?"

"I don't know…maybe."

"Good cause I'm gonna kick his butt!" Mika laughed at his childishness. I smiled before I turned towards the portal. Yusuke, Kuwabara and Hiei had already gone through not wanting to wait. Kurama stretched his arm towards the portal in a polite manner.

"Ladies first." Mika giggled at the comment before stepping through. I rolled my eyes

'Kitsunes' Kiro looked up at me with his big blue eyes. I nudged him towards the portal which he skipped happily through. It was just me and the King of Thieves now. Kurama looked at me, expecting me to go before him. I glared at him and gave him a "I don't trust you" look. He sighed and looked at the portal then back at me. Smiling at me he stuffed his hands in his pockets.

"Say would you mind if I asked a question…?" I rolled my eyes. I thought he was supposed to be the smart one.

'I can't talk baka!' I cursed him in my mind.

"Before.. when you burned that piece of wood…" He paused. Why I don't know. Yes continue…WHAT IS IT DAMNIT!

"The power you used, would be any chance Shadow magic…" My eyes flicked to him for a moment. He is the smart one …damn. I walked up to him. He's tall…I hate tall people…I hate people. Reaching up I grabbed his ear and yanked him down to my level almost like I was going to tell him a secret. But I can't talk and besides…actions speak louder than words. Growling I shoved him through the portal before he could react.

Clapping the invisible dust off my hands I calmly walked through the portal, leaving the only place I could call home and moving into one of the last places I ever wanted to be. Foresight is not one of my gifts but I can already tell that this is going to suck…big time.
