(Again the yuyu gang is not mine though I wish it was...anyway thank you to the ones who've reviewed my story...glad you like it.)

Chapter 9

I looked from Johnny to the others. "The vampires have improved a bit...From what I know at least. So here's my daggers...I'm trusting you with them guys." Kurama nodded as Yusuke finally got out of the spring. Hiei gave his usual hn, and Kuwabara was just looking at the designs on the dagger in his hands. "Are these letters, or are they just little squiggles?" I blinked shaking my head. "Okay, they are the cursed words of the brethren...God's holy word telling them that they are damned to Hell." Kurama looked at me wondering what all it said, but I wasn't going into to anymore detail.

"Okay so this is what letters look like in your vamped up world?" I nodded, "And excuse me it's not my world." Yusuke just said whatever, and looked at the blade. "Okay whoever's ready first can attack." I stated getting into a battle stance. I saw Hiei side glance at Kurama who stepped up first. "I'll go first then." I bowed to him then started with the training.

He ran at me, but I disappeared from his sight. I went behind him then just went all around him like one had once done me. "Stay still for him!" Yusuke shouted. I smirked, and got next to Kurama who had been just standing there for five minutes now. He had his eyes closed like he was just standing there meditating. I walked behind him. "You'll fail, and when you do the brethren will have fun feasting off your human mother." I whispered to him.

I felt a wind blow, and what I had said seemed to have gotten through to him. I jumped back as he turned swinging. "You will die, and they will have so much fun...or maybe they'll keep you alive for you to see her die first so you would beg for your life to end." I said smirking as he lounged at me, but I moved in time. I moved to his side, and kicked him away from me. "I'll never let them!" He screamed running at me.

I disappeared, and went behind him with my back to him. As I turned he jumped on me, and landed with the blade above my heart. He seemed pissed and sad at the same time. He was breathing slowly as if to calm down. "Keep in mind Kurama the brethren would do it if they found it to be your weakness, so hold on to the anger it brings you when you think of what they could do; then release it on them." I whispered to him as he just stayed where he was. "But Kurama remember don't let your anger blind you like it does some, just use it as to remind you what your doin' this for." He nodded as he got up off me.

"Good at least we know how you would do...anyone else." Yusuke and Kuwabara were grinning evilly. "You would let us tackle you, and you wouldn't try to kill us?" Kuwabara asked me stupidly. "I'm training you to kill pure blood vampires! I have to let you see what you can do." I said getting tired of these stupid questions. "You're not here just to tackle me! You're here to find out how to kill vampires, and all that shit! And think did I kick your ass before, or did you kick mine?" I asked him ready to scream. Yusuke smirked while stepping up.

"Okay, hope you don't get killed by them." I said giggling. "Yeah well let's get started...granny!" I popped my neck and knuckles ready to kick his ass this time. He stood there as I disappeared from his sight. I was actually in a tree. I sent three copies of me down there to fight him while I just sat up in the tree tosee if he would be smart enough to see the trick. "Which ones the real one?" He asked Kurama. Kurama looked up, and smiled at me as I signaled to be quiet. I jumped quietly out of the tree behind Yusuke as my copies disappeared. I cut him in the back with my nails then disappeared before he could see me. When his back was again towards me I just stood there smirking. "So does Keiko know you would die for her?" I asked him as he turned to see me.

He gave me a glare. He swung his fists at me, but I dodged them. "What if the Brethren came after her would you help her?" I asked him disappearing, and sending him more copies. "I don't know!" He screamed fighting them again. "Okay, I surely hope you stay alive to help her, but it's your life to give up on. It's really your choice to let her die by their hands, or to actually let her live." I said sitting back, and watching him.

He finally got fed up with the copies of me, and began to catch on to what I was doing. "Come out here, and fight me." I smirked at his new discovery of me not being there. I jumped out of the tree and landed behind him. "So would you let her die?" I asked him whispering it in his ear. He jumped away turning to face me with his finger pointed at me. "Spirit gun!" I put my hands in front of me, "Spirit Shock Wave!" The two blasts collided, and exploded flinging us both back. I got up, and ran at Yusuke who was still down. When I got there to check if he was okay he put the blade near my heart.

"What's your weakness Dawn...friends that are hurt, or just a love for humans?" He asked me smiling. "I love to protect my friends and the humans of the planet...but that little trick won't work, because if one had to die to save the rest I would let it happen and not feel bad about it." I said getting up, and extending my hand to help him up. He took it.

"So really you don't have a weakness?" I thought on that. "I have not yet found mine...my last one is gone. So I have yet to find a new weakness." Yusuke nodded, and walked back to the gang happy to have passed that. "Any fool could pass this training!" Hiei said coldly. "Be happy I'm even doin' anything with you right now, bitchy bastard." I mumbled walking over to Johnny. "Come on Dawn you know it's worth it...and I have something to tell you later." I didn't like the way it sounded, but I nodded none the less.

God help me with these boys. I prayed. "So who's...?" I didn't get to finish what I was saying because Kuwabara instantly stepped up with on of the cheesiest grins I've ever seen plastered on his face. "Okay...ready?" I asked him hating that grin. He instantly ran at me giving me only a second to move out of the way; which really I didn't even need that. I jumped over his head, and kicked him. He landed in the dirt. "DO you like eating the dirt...or do you like to fight?" I asked him crouching down beside him. He went to punch me, but I jumped out of the way before he could.

"Not all fools live after being bitten by a vampire you know." I said wishing this dude would just quit being stupid, and actually think. "Kinda like in underworld uh?" I scratched my head as he ran at me. I waited till the last minute to side step the attack. "Yeah well, not really it's worse." I stated dodging more attacks. "Well, I don't plan on being any ones dinner!" He said trying to hit me again, but only succeeded in getting kicked in the stomach.

He fell to his knees, and dropped the dagger. I grabbed it while he was on the ground, threw it, and embedded it in a tree. I pushed him onto his back, and sat down next to him. "You would be dead right now if I was a hungry pure blood." I whispered to him. He looked away from me. "It's okay not everyone I've trained has got it the first try. But tell me what's your weakness?" I asked him. He didn't answer. I stood up, and looked at Johnny. "Johnny go, and take Kuwabara to train more on this with you...since you were the same way at one point in time." Johnny nodded, and grabbed the dagger from the tree. Kuwabara stood up, and looked at me weird.

"He didn't get it the first time?" I shook my head, "No, but eventually he started to understand the way of vampires, and was able to finally get it." Kuwabara nodded, and went with Johnny. I guess Hiei is the last and final one for today. The stupid bitchy bastard, doesn't even care if he dies. I thought. "I would watch what you think around a telepath." I turned to see Hiei leaning against a tree.

"Yeah well if I were you I would watch who's mindI enter...you might just find something you don't want to see." I stated smirking. I cleared my mind, and put up a mind barrier. "Hn, then don't think things you don't want others to see onna." I rolled my eyes, "Can you not just fight, or do you always have to fit an insult in it?" I asked him thinking about something of my past, but it wasn't all that clear to me. I got a hn, and the fight was on.

He disappeared, and I knew he was behind me was I did a round house kick, and hit his jaw. I disappeared myself, and created copies. I joined them in the fight. He ended up on the ground for a moment. He got up, and realized the copies were gone, so of course he came after the real me. He brought out his katana instead of the dagger. So I disappeared, and got mine.

I unsheathed it, and we began a fight. "What are you scared of Hiei?" I asked him as the metal of our swords clashed. "I fear nothing!" He said pushing me back. I jumped at him striking his blade only. It seemed to me our blades were made equally the same. My thoughts ran as I fought with Hiei. Something in me was making me feel on fire, but I thought it to be impossible. The ground around me started to freeze with every step I took, but it didn't explain why I felt like I was on fire.

I started to feel a pain in me like something was trying to gnaw its way out of me. "Dawn are you okay?" I heard Kurama ask, but for some reason I didn't think of answering him. What the hell is goin' on? I asked myself as one word kept coming into my thoughts. KILL!

(Kurama's pov)

I was watching this fight feeling some sort of strange energy coming from Dawn as ice formed with every step she took. "Kurama what's that on Dawn's arm?" Yusuke asked as something started to appear gradually. Like a snake coming onto her arm, but it started to look like Hiei's just it was some what colored. It went from her shoulder to her wrist, and it was black and red. "It couldn't be..." I mumbled. "What couldn't it be?" Yusuke asked confused. "It couldn't be...the devil's dragon." Yusuke looked at me weird. "It's just as powerful as the dragon of the darkness flame." Yusuke got wide eyes, "What the HELL!"

(My pov)

My arm felt like it was on fire, but I paid it no attention. My blade was engulfed with flames as I continued to fight. "Give up onna!" I glared at him, "I fight to the end...and I thought you were suppose to try and put a blade to my neck, or near my heart." I hissed as the pain intensified. "Hurting onna?" I shook my head, "None of your business Baka!" Hiei glared at me, and began to fight faster, so I did to. We were evenly matched, and neither one of us were going to give up.

Well an hour later I was still fighting him, and my arm was pained more then I ever thought of feeling. "You're hurt onna stop while you can!" I glared at Hiei, and didn't give in. "I never will!" I screamed cutting his arm. I was starting to get pissed with the way he was telling me to give up, andbecause of the pain in my arm. Something came to my mind as I continued to sword fight with Hiei. Two words came to mind. Devil's Dragon.

So I screamed the words, "Devil's Dragon!" I stopped as a flame engulfed my arm, and a dragon came off my arm. "Watch out Hiei!" I heard Kurama holler to Hiei. The dragon went after Hiei, and soon slammed him into a tree knocking it down along with some others. I fell to my knees as the pain left my body. I found the dragon coming towards me, and I didn't care. But it didn't eat me, it came back to my arm. I looked over to where Hiei had been, and saw him on the ground.

I got up shakily, and ran as well as I could to him. "Hiei you okay?" I asked him. His eyes opened and looked at me. "So that's why you were in pain." He whispered smirking. I smiled down at him. "At least I know you're alive." I said smiling at him. Kurama and Yusuke came to check on him. "Stay here please, and tell Johnny and Kuwabara I took Hiei to the palace." I said helping Hiei up. They nodded.

A couple minutes later we were back at the palace bandaging him up. "I'm really sorry." I said bandaging his arm up. "Hn, onna I told you not to worry about it." I shook my head annoyed with being called a woman. "My name is Dawn...please call me by my name." He gave me a hn as I finished up. I smirked, and walked into the kitchen. I sat down at the table trying to understand everything that had happened so far today. My head raced as my thoughts took flight. As my thoughts flew all over the heavens, and sometimes fell and swooped towards hell and back my head started to hurt.

I got up and started to pace trying to find a reason why everything always happened to me. And before I knew it I punched a hole in one of the kitchen walls out of frustration. I didn't regret deciding I wanted Heaven over my memories, but I did hate the fact I didn't know shit. "What the hell did the wall do to you?" I looked to the entrance of the kitchen, and saw Yusuke and Kurama standing there watching me.

I took my hand out of the wall, and took my seat at the table again. "Dawn are you okay?" Kurama asked sitting down beside me. "Why would I punch a fucking hole in the wall if I was okay?" I asked coldly as tears ran down my face. "Then what's the matter?" Kurama asked me kindly like I had been his friend for years. "I'm nothing...the only reason I'm on this worthless planet is because I fought for my life instead of just submitting. Life is pointless for me...My past though forgotten would prove it. I want to remember why this is happening, I want to remember why they keep hurting everything close to me." I said as more tears ran down my face.

"I would too, but the thing is not every curse, or spell has to have a counter to it...sometimes the one who has it on them breaks it themselves." I looked at Kurama, "I just want to know why Ryan hates me so." I shook my head then stood up, and walked towards the back door. "You see Kurama a life unknown, will forever be unknown, and it can end up killing, or helping the person in every imaginable way. This unknown life of mine has been eating away at me as I kill half of me every time I hit the streets not because I knew not way I need to, but because I enjoyed, and wanted to do it kill anything that got in my way. I loved to see my Mother's kind feel helpless as I did before I started to fight, and I enjoyed scaring the shit out of people. I loved the kill, and I loved to see them helpless."

Kurama was silent. I turned to look at Kurama, "The thing is I enjoyed seeing part of me die with every kill, but then you guys entered the chase after me and that part of me came back like it had never been gone; like it just awoken from a dream. Now I just don't really feel like I could kill again. I really just want Ryan punished for what ever he's done; I don't really care if he dies, but I don't want it to be by my hand." Yusuke's mouth hit the floor.

"Like Johnny said I'm not really a bad ass no shit taking punk who just wants to kill." I said walking out the back door. I walked forward; I didn't care where I was going just if I was.

About ten minutes later I was on a cliff staring out at water that collided with land. I just stood there watching the water flow as the images in my head ran wild just as the waves were. The images started to form something of my past; nothing much, but enough to tell me something.

(Memory)

I was in a dark room crying, and scared. I had just been pulled off the streets by the brethren. A man walked into the only door leading in and out of the room I was in. He laughed at my tears as I stood. He was about two feet taller then me, but it wasn't all that hard to be taller then me. "How are you Dawn?" He asked smirking down at me. "Why do you care Risku?" I asked him scowling. "Oh don't me that way cousin...you know we all love you."

He then laughed at the thought, "Wait, no we don't. We hate you." I looked down at the ground as if he had just slapped me. "Risku, you know not to torture the prisoners...that's my job." I then saw Ryan there behind the boy. "Yes father...do you think I could help you this time?" Ryan shook his head. "No not with your cousin I have other plans." Risku nodded, and left as Ryan came into the room fully.

"What do you want Uncle? I haven't done anything to you!" I stated pissed that they called me a prisoner. "I need a blood sample from you, and I need you to do some things for me." I shook my head. "I would never help the ones that threw me onto the streets." I said looking him in the eyes. "Well you have no say little Dawn...Guards." Guards came into the room, and put cuffs on me. "Just remember Dawn dear, you're helpless and you can't do a thing."

My head hung low as we went to a room I had never seen. This room had chains on the ceiling, and the walls; but it looked like a lab as well. "You know something Dawn you do have a place in this world...to help me make a better species of vampires. You see you are the only vampire that can walk in the light..." I interrupted him, "Yeah, how did ya know...oh wait I've leaved on the streets and I'm still a live."

The guards chained me to the wall. They put a collar around my neck, chains around my ankles, wrists, and waist. "Yes well I want others to be like you. Pure bloodied vampires should be out there instead of hiding in the dead of night. We should have more freedom then ones like you." He said grabbing at the least three syringes off a table, and walking over to me. "And to try and make this possible I need your blood." I cringed at the thought of pure blood hungry vampires on the streets during in the day. "You would take out your whole food source!" I said as he got in front of me.

"Oh well, there's always plenty of people like you to feed off." He went to put one in my skin, and extract some of my blood, but I thrashed out at him sending ice attacks. I got him to back away from me before he could do any thing. "Fine if you won't let me do it the nice way I'll do it the mean way." I looked at him weird until he started to act like the syringes were darts, and I was the dart board. The first one hit me hard and deeply in my thigh near a main artery. The second one hit me in the chest. My teeth were clinched in the pain of what he was doing. The third one hit me in my hand. "Damn you to Hell Ryan!" I screamed at him as the fourth one it me in the stomach. "I'm going to go there one day anyways...just like you are." He said smirking. "God will let me into his kingdom if I ask him into my heart, and repent from my sins, Uncle; but you however are to proud to ask for forgiveness." I said smiling as he hissed at the mention of God.

"His name is not welcome in our palace!" I smirked at my glaring Uncle as he threw five more needles. "Yeah, well Uncle he is the only one who cares for me now." I said giggling. "He won't for long!" Uncle snarled. He nodded to the guards, "Take the syringes out with the blood!" They did as they were told.

Once he got what he wanted he still wasn't satisfied. "Put her on the table over there!" He ordered pointing to this steel table in the middle of the room. Once they took the chains off I started to struggle against them. But they succeeded in putting me on the table, and strapping me down. Ryan came over with this thick long needle in his hand. "You're problem girl is you don't care for the brethren, and you don't follow the rules. You should have never been born...Forbidden Child." I looked up at him, "I only break the rules because you could careless...and anyway why should you care?" I asked him coldly. He didn't answer instead he jabbed the needle into the side of my neck, and started to chant.

(End of Memory)

I shook my head looking at that the waves. The memory...why did I have it now instead of before? I crouched towards the ground as the water splashed. I had seen seas and oceans, but not once had I stepped foot into one. I was always too busy fighting for my life to do anything fun. My head quit hurting, and I began to calm down after the memory. It started to rain. I looked up to the sky to let the rain hit my face, "I have to say you have a weird timing for things." I said speaking to God. I heard footsteps behind me, "Can I help you?" I asked coldly. "It's only me Dawn." Kurama that was good news. "Okay...what do ya need?" I asked standing up looking over the waves. I just couldn't help but to watch them. "I just wanted to see if you were okay." I looked at him, "I had a memory...It showed me how I got my curse." Kurama nodded.

"You never really want to know the bad things, but when it shows you why you kill, or do what ever it is that you do you want to know." I nodded at what he said, it was true. "The guys thought today's training was alright...Are we doing it again tomorrow?" I nodded, "We have to...it keeps you ready." Kurama smiled at me. "Now let's go back, and relax for a little bit." I nodded, and walked back with him.

I sat down on the couch, and watched TV with the idiots of the group. For some reason hate swelled up in me. I couldn't relax at all; I started to wonder why I hate this day so. But nothing came to mind, but my memory of what happened to me. But something felt off. I thought about it then I remembered the brethren had put my back on the streets on this every day so long ago. "I'm goin' to the library." I stated, and then ran off to speak with Kara.

When I got there I looked around for her. Again I smelt blood. I followed the sent till I came to find...

Again a cliff hanger...still hope you liked it anyways.

Hiei: Let me type!

Pixie: (Looks back at Hiei from the computer.) NO...This is my story Hiei you'll mess it up!(grabbing metal bat just in case.)

Kurama: Hiei she's right...you can't really word things the way she wants to.

Johnny: (Coming into the room.) Who cares we want a turn to tell them what's up from our point of view.

Pixie: (rolling her eyes.) What do you think "pov" stands for. you told me what you thought I put it in words, and there ya go!

Johnny: (Mumbling embaressed.) Oh, well I'm an all out person.
