Chapter 2

A spy for a friend?

Just thought id tell you now, all my fanfics will be songfics, unless I run out of songs. And I don't own any of this, just the plot line.

Morning sunlight filtered through the crack in the curtains as Lyta yawned and stretched, thoroughly exhausted yet surprisingly happy.The young hanyou tentatively put her feet on the floor and ran through the door to her fathers room. Opening it and hoping, like she had so many times before, that it had all been some bizarre nightmare, that she was awake and her family where ok. But she was met with disappointment.

She sighed as she walked into the room, and fingered the drapes hanging over their queen sized bed. It was a four poster fit for royalty, containing a tiny rose carved into the headboard. She remembered how excited she was when they bought it, and had asked that it be left to her no matter the cost. Now she couldn't stand to look at it, her father had written in his will that it be left to her, but she just couldn't stand looking at it now, it was as if they had all died just so she could have it. A fresh wave of tears started to pour down her face, and were whipped away in seconds.

of here

Moving over to her fathers draws to her left, she kneeled down, and pulled out the bottom draw and picked out the family katana. She had trained with this so many times that she could fight someone in her sleep.

Believe me, I'm just as lost as you

Her father had been a tracker for the ruler of the Rekai. When she was younger , in demon terms, she had met him, and never blamed him for anything. Her father was a strong warrior and knew how to look after himself.

And every time I think ive finally made it

He had been at the funeral, had seen what the demons had done and had hugged her, even though she had flinched. Now she didn't like being touched, it reminded her to much of her family, and how they could never hug her again, or comfort her again. She may only be 16 in demon terms, but she did want her family back, she was still young. But had grown up in seconds during the massacre.

I learn I'm farther away than I have ever been before

She had been held back as the murderers mercilessly hacked her entire family to pieces, asking who should die first, and who shouldn't. Who should be killed outright and who should be tortured.

I see the clock and its ticking away, and the hourglass empty

Eventualy they had killed everyone, it had been the longest night of her life, and the screams still woke her up in the dead of night, sweating and screaming.

What the Fuck do I have to say

And yet they weren't finished. Only Tiahad survived the massacre . She had been away at a friends sleepover party, but she wasn't safe, none of them were. The murderers had crept to her house and kidnapped her from under everyones noses. She had been taken and a piece of paper had been put in her place. It had said that they hadn't finished with Lyta, and would come for her once her spirit had thoroughly broken.

Lyta had come close to breaking down almost everyday for a month after the massacre, but her spirit hadn't been broken, as long as Tia was still alive, it would never break.

But they still sent little mementos. A lock of Tia's hair, a tooth encased in blood. But they never said she was dead. But is still broke her heart that her cousin was being tortured and she wasn't there to help her.

Release me, I'm just as lost as you

She had cried for retribution for those cold nights of fear.

Believe me, I'm just as lost as you

Prayed for freedom from her nightmare, but it never came.

Keep it inside, the image portrayed

So she had buried it deep inside her, had survived those next nights through sheer force of willpower. She never moved out of the house it took place in. There were too many good memories aswell as the bad.

As if I couldnt stand losing as if I couldn't be saved, no way

All her friends had proved fair-weather. Only one stuck by her side. Chloe had stayed beside her always, offering comfort for her when ever she needed it.

Lyta picked up the blade from inside the bottom draw. She released it from the sheathe and looked at it, before putting it back. That letter last night had showed her it was time to stop mourning. Chloe would know where she should go for help and revenge. She wanted the latter badly, very badly.

A small confession I think I'm starting to lose it

Picking out a pair of jeans and a tshirt from her wardrobe, she slipped her arms through and tied the katana to her side. She went and picked up her leather from the floor downstairs and grabbed a quick snak before running to the bus stop. Her friend lived a few stops away and it was to long to walk at this time In the morning

I think I'm drifting away from the people I really need

Lyta smiled as she sat down in the bus, ignoring the pitying glances coming her way from other passengers, she had long since forgotten about their looks of pity, she never wanted nor needed them. They didn't know about what she had been through. So now she didn't are.

A small reflection on when we were younger

A small smile fluttered around her lips as they passed the playground she often played in with her cousin. She waved to one of Tia's friends, he stared at her, dumbstruck. But waved back anyway, a delighted smile lighting up his face.

We had it all figured out 'cause we had everything covered

Lyta hopped off the bus at her stop and ran through the back ally until she came upon her friends house. Running up the old stairs, she knocked on the door and waited, knowing that she could trust this girl with her life.

Now were older its getting harder to see

The second the door opened, she nearly toppled her friend over in a hug.

"Great news Chloe, ive got the sword." She said enthusiastically looking at her friend.

She was about an inch higher than Lyta, but then again, everyone was. Her hair was a deep brown that framed her face. It was murderously straight and would always be if Chloe had anything to say about it. Her eyes were hidden behind glasses, but you could see their hazel colour easily. She was quite skinny for a girl, but that never bothered her. She was strong anyway, and extremely smart.

What this future will hold for us, what the Fuck are we going to be?

"Lyta! Ive got loads to tell you. You'll probably hate me, but its for the best." Chloe said, her voice laced with apology.

"What are you talking about?" Lyta asked , curiosity written across her face before she made it thoroughly emotionless. She didn't like this, something wasn't right.

Lyta protested slightly as she was dragged into her friends living room. There sat Koenma and the famous Rekai Tentai.

Looking at her friend emotionlessly with a severe glare, she said simply "Explain."

Koenmacoughed slightly in order to get her attention, which he succeeded in doing.

"Chloe here has been a spy for me for the last year, I wanted to see how good your were with the sword and she gladly took the position. She's been watching you for me for a while."

Lyta went completely still, the silence suddenly defeaning. Very slowly she turned to Chloe, fixing her with a glare that turned the atmosphere thoroughly Antarctic.

Release me, I'm just as lost as you
Believe me, I'm just as lost as you

"You've been spying on me? My very best friend who was always there, only did it for money?" She asked the prone figure of her EX-best friend. Her hand moved , ever-so slowly to her katana, fingering the hilt as if she would like nothing better than to plunge it into her old friends heart.

So lost, I'm just as lost as you
Oh well what am I going to do
I'm afraid I'm falling farther away (from where I want to be)

But she stopped, her eyes looking slightly panicked then returning to their normally blank look so fast that only Hiei noticed. He decided to keep quiet, she deserved that much after what she had been through.

"No, im not a murderer." She murmured to herself, and Chloe let out a breathe of relief.

"So, what do you want me for then? I can't offer much because my powers aren't … ready." She said, effectively cutting off the rest of what she was going to say. She didn't want them to know everything, not even Chloe knew the truth.

"We want you to come with us." Koenma explained, standing up and moving towards her. From his pocket he drew a phoenix pendant. In its centre was a flaming Phoenix, it was covered in ruby and pink sapphire, with flecks of amber for eyes. She didn't need to look on the back to know that a barcode was enscribed on there. Lyta panicked again slightly, but hid it the second she noticed Koenma's gentle smile. He knew but he wasn't going to say, and judging by the blank looks of the others, she guessed they didn't either.

"Your father gave me this to meto give to you. He says it will help you remember, and help you if you need it. Just ask for him and he will be there."

She smiled again, and walked through the portal along with them when one was summoned. But before she walked through fully, her old friend grasped her hand.

"Im sorry Lyta, I had no other choice and you needed this. Please forgive me. Koenma says if you want I can live with you too, just so you can have a friendly face around." Chloe said, smiling.

"I'll think about it, I promise." She said, hugging her friend close then letting go to go through the portal.

"Take care " Lyta said as her friend dissapearred.

On the other side she looked around at the boys.

"Ok, intro please?"

And that's that, again, rate please. And if you have any q's, just ask.
