Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho…-sniff- Waahh! I only own it in my dreams… But I DO own Kaya, and Mia.
A/N: Yup, I'm back. Sorry for the SUPER long delay. I was kinda busy, but mostly, I was just too lazy.. XD But that's why I made this chapter so long. So, enjoy!
(Kurama P.O.V.)
I sighed. This was all so confusing. First a cyber wolf, and now…. Some wolf girl. Another one! For all I know they could be sisters! I sighed again. Calm down Kurama! I scolded myself.
I looked towards Mia, studying her. Her black seemed to frame her tan angelic face and her golden eyes pierced into my soul as she stared at me, probably studying me the same way as I was her. She is very… pretty.
I mentally smacked myself. I didn't come here to look for a girlfriend!
"Standing around here won't do anything. Let's go see what Koenma has to say about this," I said, everybody gradually turning to look at me and nod. "Kiri?" I voiced.
Kiri nodded as she twirled her black tail around her finger. She closed her eyes and thrust her hand out and made a circular motion. A blue portal slowly appeared. She grinned a cattish grin and slipped through. Kuwabara went next, then Yukina, then Yusuke, then Hiei. I motioned for the cyber wolf and Mia to get in front of me. Mia glided in front of me and through the portal.
K-9X was more hesitant, as if something would happen if she went through the portal.
I grabbed her tail and dragged. She whined and scratched at the stone floor, the scraping sound ringing in my ears. I yanked hard on her tail and she yelped. Finally, I gave up, as she was to heavy to keep pulling when she clearly didn't want to go. I waved her away and stepped through the portal…
(End Kurama P.O.V)
Kurama stepped through the portal that lead straight to Keonma's room. Keonma glanced at him and motioned for him to sit on the couch.
"Okay, what happened?" Koenma snapped.
"We went through and fought them, somewhere along the line Kaya and Hiei got in a fight and Kaya left us…" Yusuke glanced accusingly at Hiei. Hiei just glared back. "Hiei was taken hostage and when we finally got to the top floor he had to fight a darkness demon named Aki…"
Keonma muttered something but nowhere seemed to hear it.
"He won and we encountered … a cyber wolf… she called her self K-9X. She sniffed out Kiri," Yusuke said, pointing to the cat demon who was leaning on the wall, watching intently.
Keonma nodded towards Kiri. "It's good to have you back, Spirit Thief Kiri,"
Kiri just merely nodded.
Yusuke continued his story. "K-9X got Yukina, Kurama's mom…." Yusuke bit his lip at this point. His voice was shaking when he finally said "Keiko."
Kurama took up the story seeing as Yusuke couldn't finish. "Keiko was killed… There was also another girl, a wolf demon named Meiyo," He explained, pointing to the girl sitting on the floor.
Keonma gazed at her. "Meiyo, I'm guessing that your last name would then be Hikoro?"
Mia nodded. "Yes sir, but please call me Mia,"
"Okay Mia. It's fortunate that we have the last surviving Lightning Clan member."
Mia gasped. "L-last?"
"Yes…"
"Are you sure? I heard there was another. Kanami Hikoro, my sister."
Koenma shook his head. "We heard the rumors too. The golden eyed jagan child… Golden Wolf…. The devil's child's…. We searched for her. The search failed. We never found her…"
"O-Oh."
"You guys need to get some sleep, it's been a long night. Mia, you'll sleep in Kiri's room, for tonight."
The group shuffled and walked out the door.
"Hiei!" Keonma yelled as Hiei was closing the oak doors.
"Hn?"
"Where's Kaya?"
"Don't know." Hiei muttered, closing the doors.
The lake glistened in the ghastly moonlight. Dark, swirling clouds disappeared behind the forest. An owl hooted from it's perch as raccoons scurried on the forest floor.
Kaya walked through the forest, her hood pulled over her head. The hood fell back revealing two golden pure golden eyes, the pupils gone. She walked as if a trance to the edge of the forest. Her ghastly eyes searched the meadow before her. The grass swayed peacefully but in Kaya's mind, bodies littered the ground and blood seemed to seep into every crack and crevice of the meadow.
So much blood… She lifted her hands only to find them soaked in blood like the meadow. "No…No….No!" She looked down at herself and gasped in horror. Her clothes were as blood-stained as the meadow, and looked as if they had been dipped into the crimson blood.
Kaya turned around, and ran. Ran away from the blood-soaked meadow, from her past, from her life.
She ran when she couldn't breath and was gasping for fresh air. She ran until her legs were to tired to run anymore. Then, she finally stopped. She sank down the forest floor, and hands wrapped her knees, she cried.
Images played through her mind. Her as a small girl having rocks thrown at her… The villagers beating her until she couldn't even scream for help…Her father being hung to save her, the twinkle in his purple eyes never fading…. Being gagged and chained, the villagers tossing her into a dark lake, the water engulfing her, swallowing her into it's dark and foggy depths… Limping down a snow covered road, shivering like a leaf in an autumn breeze…. Men injecting needles and doing experiments on her… Running from a castle, having arrows and darts fired at her…. Joining a gang… Fighting a white haired fox-demon…. Lying in a makeshift bed, twisting and turning… her blue eye turning a gold…. Killing the gang members with a mere innocent glance…. Getting cast out of the gang…. Killing mercilessly….Fighting a group of demons, one sliding a poison-tipped dagger into her chest…. Watching a boy tidying her blankets and wiping the sweat off her forehead….. The boy wrapping her chest where the knife had hit…. Waking up one morning and him being gone…. The agony of knowing she was alone again…. Herself slitting her wrist while muttering, 'I shall never love again'…..
Kaya opened her eyes, tears still flowing down her face. She forced herself to stand. She lifted her arm, the one she had slit years ago, and stared at it. Blood started to seep through the scar, until it ran freely down her hand. She stared at it awhile, then started to walk back to the meadow, ignoring the warm, sticky blood. Koenma's big castle at the other side, she headed to the destination, her wrist burning with pain.
She jumped through her window on the second floor. Grabbing a white tank top and black shorts, she turned on the shower. Stripping herself of the blood-dried clothes, she stepped in, washing all the grim and blood off her.
She stepped out a few minutes later and throwing on the tank and shorts looked at herself in her mirror.
Her eyes were still a pure gold and her hair was turning a navy blue. She stared at herself, wondering what was happening to herself. Her skin was also turning a pale white. W-what's happening to me?
She looked at the mirror as her skin turned paler and her eyesight started going black. She caught a glimpse of red eyes in the corner of her mirror and turned around, seeing Hiei in the corner.
"H-how long have you been there?" Kaya stuttered, trying not to show how disturbed she was by her new makeover.
"Since you came in." Hiei replied. "What's happening to you?" He said bluntly and nonchalantly.
"I-I don't know… I don't know what's happening! But I know one thing!"
"Which would be…?"
"I don't need your help…" She muttered evilly, her hand on her small knife that had been on her drawer. "Get. Out."
Hiei glared at her. "Nobody tells me what to do, bitch."
"Well, I can and will. Get out."
"Hn."
She gripped her dagger as Hiei's hand rested on his katana and he pulled it out of the sheath, the metal ringing in the wooden room. The polished blade shown brightly in the dark room. Hiei nimbly ran towards her, slashing downwards.
Kaya jumped back an inch, stabbing Hiei in the arm as the blade passed.
He disappeared into the beams over her bed that supported the roof.
Kaya's eye sight turned darker and darker until she thought she was blind. Determined not to let Hiei win, she depended on her nose and hearing. Kaya felt the vibration and heard it as Hiei lightly jumped down onto the wooden floor and charged towards her. She dodged left, getting a gash on her stomach from the blade. She slashed with the dagger at what she though was the back of his hand.
Hearing his katana drop to the floor, she knew she hit her target. She thrust her blade into the wall and exclaimed, "Hiei, can you leave now? I won fair and square."
"Hn…" She walked over to where she thought Hiei was only to bump into the wall.
Hiei's amused voice muttered, "I'm over here."
"O-oh right…" She concentrated on where his soft breathing came from and walked to where it was coming from. She could almost touch him when she tripped on the handle of his katana, and toppled on top of him. She laid there awkwardly on top of Hiei, until he grunted and stood up, throwing Kaya back onto the ground.
"I'll go now," Hiei sneered, staying in front of Kaya.
Kaya nodded and sighed as she muttered, "He's such a bastard!"
"I heard that!" Hiei growled.
"W-what? I thought you left!"
"If you could see, you would know I'm right in front of you…"
"It's no use…." Kaya sighed frustratingly as she searched for her bed to sit down on. She felt Hiei grab her arm and lead her to her bed. Plopping down on it., she waited for him to talk.
"You can't see, can you?"
"No…."
"Know why?"
"No…"
"Hn."
This is such an interesting conversation, Kaya thought to herself, shifting nervously.
She heard as Hiei walked out the door, shutting it on his way out.
Finally!
Kaya woke the next morning able to see, but her eyes were still a pure vibrant gold. But as she looked around she smiled. She was able to see again! Hopping energetically out of her bed she threw on a red tanktop with a black jacket over it and tight blue jeans with black and gold converses, she headed out to meet the group.
Kaya hesitantly walked down the hall leading to the room where the group resided. She stopped and took a deep breath, steadying herself.
Both arms were wrapped in a thin red fabric wrapped around both arms to hide the wounds that been had inflicted upon her the night before..
She walked around the corner and into the room, plopping herself on a couch.
The group stared at her questioningly as a silence penetrated the room. Resting her head on her hand, she stared back at them. "What?" She asked arrogantly.
"Where did you go last night!" Yusuke snapped.
She rolled her eyes, but inside she was praying Hiei didn't say anything about their little 'fight'. "Around…"
Hiei opened his mouth, looking as if he was going to say something, then slowly closed it, getting a look from Kuwabara.
Kaya inwardly sighed with relief and brought up something to change the subject. "Soo… Whatcha playin'?" She said casually, pointing at a board on the table in the middle of the room with red and blue figures on it.
"Stratego," Kurama answered.
"Who's playin'?"
"Yusuke and I."
"Who's winning?"
"Me."
"Oh…"
Kaya looked out the window, staring at the lake and it's crystal blue depths.
"Kaya, what's wrong with your eyes?" Yusuke asked.
Kaya shifted her eyes to the now interesting fly on the carpet. "I don't know…."
"O-Oh. When did that happen then?"
"Sometime around two I guess…"
Yusuke was about to ask something else as the intercom in the room switched on, Keonma's voice interrupting him. "Get to office gang, we've spotted some demon activity."
The gang got up and started walking to the doors that lead to the hallway Keonma's office was in. Yusuke slowed down and started walking beside Kaya.
He grabbed her left wrist and squeezed, emitting a gasp from her and a stare from him. "Sorry about what Hiei said last night, I don't think he meant it." Yusuke apologized lamely, speeding up to catch Kuwabara.
Kaya rolled her eyes and opened the oak doors that lead to Keonma's room. Slamming the doors behind her, she leaned against the wall on the farthest corner from Keonma's desk, her eyes closed and ears perked up.
Keonma started as soon as the doors slammed, a huge projecting screen sliding down from the roof behind him. A picture of a teenage girl appeared on the screen. She had brown hair with black highlights that were cut at her chin and gray eyes with yellow around the rim.
"This is Adrila Lacroos. She's a fifteen year-old girl having a pool party for her sixteenth birthday. She's an ordinary human but a group of B class demons are going to show up at her party. I need you six, Mia making it six, to go disguised as her friends and kill the demons before they kill her and her friends."
"The demons are soul eaters, meaning they thrive off souls. The more they eat, the stronger they get. They have already moved from a C class to a B class. As you can tell, they highly dangerous and must be killed."
A picture of a human-looking boy appeared on the screen. He looked completely human other then pure black eyes, a snake-like tongue protruding from his mouth, and a pair of antler horns sticking out form his head. (Oh yeah… so human looking… -.-')
"Of course, to normal humans, he doesn't have the tongue, eyes, and horns," Keonma added.
"Well no duh…" Kaya muttered under her breath.
"So! When are we leaving!" Mia squeaked happily.
"The party is in an hour. You have 50 minutes to prepare," Keonma answered.
"Oh! Okies dokies!" Mia squealed happily, bounding out the door and skipping down the hall.
Kaya's ear twitched as Mia bounded out the door and her fangs protruded from her mouth, a crazed grin forming on her face. "Oh, how she's going down… She's too happy…" Kaya muttered, pushing herself off the wall.
"Kaya, what happened to your eyes?" Keonma asked as she started towards the door.
"None of your business, binky breath…" Kaya muttered coldly as she swept herself out of the room.
Keonma shook his head. "That girl has serious problems…"
Kaya opened her drawer and searched through it, trying to find her old swimsuit. Pulling out a purple t-shirt that said "The world changes…So do I" she finally found it.
Snatching it out from the drawer and quickly tossing the clothes that were sprawled out over her floor into her drawers, she quickly undressed and threw on the bathing suit. She pulled on the purple t-shirt that said "The world changes…So do I" and a pair of jean shirts to cover up her swimsuit.
Putting on some mascara and black eyeliner, she grabbed her black flip-flops and casually walked out of her room and into the lounge room.
The boys were already there, waiting impatiently. Kaya laid down on the floor and stared at the ceiling, waiting for Mia to come out.
A long silence filled the room and hallway as a dark shadow was cast over the room.
Suddenly Kaya sensed a strong power outside the window. She jolted up, breaking the silence and scaring the dozing boys. Running over to the window and pulling up the glass she peered out.
Nothing…She looked harder. Still nothing…. She searched out with her mind, a trick she had learned from one of her old friends.
She caught sight of a powerful being in the forest. She jumped out of the window, landing on the ground and darting out light speed to the forest.
I know that energy signature…But how do I know it?
She stopped at the beginning of the forest, a film of dust behind her. Cautiously walking forward she walked towards the energy source.
A deep fog swirled around, creating shadows all around her. She sniffed, trying to get the creature's scent, only to find out her senses were being disabled.
She glared into the darkness, her golden eyes glimmering dangerously… She saw the swirl of a black cape as the figure swirled around to look at her. Large piercing pink globes glared at her, and the creature growled menacingly. Kaya stiffened as the creature dropped to the ground and started to crawl towards her.
As the pink-eyed being came closer, Kaya got a better look at it. The eyes looked like bug eyes, with what looked like tiny mirrors covering the surface. The eyes protruded from its face and it had no nose. Where the mouth was supposed to be there was a large gap and you could see clearly inside it. Its skin was translucent and you could see right through her. It had stray stubs of yellow hair and it smelt of dead rats. It growled a low pitched sound that sent shivers down Kaya's back. The ground beneath the monster became all shriveled and black and anything it touched died.
Kaya stared at it until their eyes locked. A bead of sweat made its way down Kaya's face as she stumbled backwards and tripped on a root. She tumbled backwards and landed on her back. Quickly scrambling up, Kaya started to crawl backwards as the creature advanced on her. She watched the ground at her feet turn deep charcoal black as the creature reached out and grabbed Kaya's foot. It started to crawl it's way up Kaya's body and they were face to face. A long yellow tongue emerged out of the creature's gapping mouth and ran it's way up Kaya's face, leaving a trail of saliva on her cheek. Kaya's eyes opened wide and she screamed, which was quite unlike her. Her scream was high-pitched and echoed all the way to the groups ears. She quickly leapt up and jumped away form the forest.
The creature's eyes glittered as she moaned in a low voice, "I find her, I finded what I've been searched for…."
Kaya's scream reached the ears of Hiei first and he jerked his head towards the forest. "Kaya just screamed…" He muttered loud enough for the group to hear.
Yusuke nodded as it reached his ears. "Yeah, I just heard it. Sounds kinda weird…" Just then Kaya burst through the window and tumbled onto the ground.
"K-Kaya? You okay?" Kurama asked.
She leapt and yelled, "Do I look okay to you?" "Idon'thinkyouwouldlookokayifyoujustcamefacetofacewiththecreepestlookingyou'veeverseen!AndIthinkit'safrickin'lisbotoo!" With that she stomped off and yelled "I'm gonna take shower!"
Kuwabara leaned over and whispered to Yusuke "I've never met anyone so moody…Other than sis that is…"
"Yeah.." Yusuke agreed, yawning.
Kaya stepped out of the shower and threw on yet again her swimsuit. Pulling her purple t-shirt and faded out and torn blue jean shorts, she slipped on her flip-flops and started down the hall.
She suddenly felt a heavy weight on her back and bent over backwards as she saw Mia propel herself off of Kaya's shoulders and into the air, landing with a one-handed handstand. She flipped over happily and bounced back to where Kaya was standing, a look of pure hatred printed all over Kaya's face.
"Hiya!" Mia squealed.
Kaya glared at her. "Hi…."
Mia stared at her and pouted. "Someone looks sad…Do you need a huggle wuggle?" She asked in a little kid voice.
Kaya grimaced as Mia reached out her arms and give her a hug. "Now come on, I'll lead the way to the lounge! I can't have my besty westy friend losing her way! Chu!" Mia grabbed Kaya's hand and started to lead her down the hallway.
Oh my god… This bitch is going down…She yanked her hand back and shouldered her way past Mia, beating her to the lounge and taking her place on the wall.
As Mia walked in the room, Yusuke stood up and walked towards the elevator, pushing the button that said 'Warp'. They all stood inside the elevator as they were warped to a parking garage on the outskirts of town.
Yusuke stepped out and grabbed a pair of keys that were hanging on the wall. "I'm driving."
Kaya glanced at him. "Whatever, I'm driving alone." She announced grabbing a pair of keys of the wall too. She pushed the locate button and a red flash appeared from a black and gold Suzuki motorcycle in the back. "Nice…" She muttered under her breath, walking towards it.
They arrived at the place and walked up the sidewalk. They handed their fake invitations to the butler and head inside.
Kaya's eyes lit up as she saw the pool. It was probably the size of a football field! It had two gigantic slides and diving boards spread out along the sides. Tons of kids shuffled about, getting in the pool or getting out. There was a ping-pong table and a three tables that were covered with different types of foods.
Kaya grabbed a seat and placed her bag down. She stripped herself of her shirt and shorts, placing them on her book bag.
Her bathing suit top was black. It had four spaghetti straps and the sides had blue stitches in them. It dipped down about halfway down her chest. The bottom was also black. It looked like boy shorts with a blue strip going down diagonal on her right hip. It had what looked like part of a blue fishnet skirt on the left. The boy shorts had blue stitches and the skirt had black. Her eyes were a light colored blue thanks to her contacts that she had put in to hide her golden eyes, Her silver hair was in a messy bun and she had strands of hair falling out at the back. In the front she had braided some her hair and it hung in front of eyes and around her ears. (Kinda like Rikku's from Final Fantasy X-2) She had blue bangles around her wrists and large blue hoops in her ears.
She slipped of her flip-flops and walked towards the pool. She jumped off the side and gracefully flipped in the air two times before hitting the water in a perfect dive. Her head broke threw the water and she looked around trying to catch the soul eater. Not able to spot him in the water, she lifted her self out of the pool and looked around. Where is he? I can't seem to find him! To many teenagers!
She yelped in surprise as she felt a light smack to her butt. She whipped around and came face to face with the soul eater himself, an arrogant smile on his face. He had chestnut hair and emerald green eyes. He was wearing red swim trunks and he had a pretty nice set of six packs… "Hey hot stuff…" He placed his hand on her waist and smiled seductively.
Kaya picked up his hand and placed it on his own hip. "Hands. Off."
"But sweetie… I can't bear to let you go to untouched…I just can't keep my hands off…" He murmured, placing his hand on her hip and sliding it down and around to her butt. "You have such a nice ass, you know that? Too nice to be wasted…"
"I said hands off!" She screeched, smacking him on his face. His face jerked to the side at the impact. A large red handprint was left and blood dripped down from a scratch she had inflicted at the same time. She smiled, showing her fangs.
He whipped his head around and smiled yet again. "Feisty…I've always had a soft spot for them…."
Kaya smiled evilly and stepped forward. Lifting her left leg, she kicked him. Hard. She laughed and stepped back, admiring her work. He was on the ground, rolling back and forth in pain.
He painfully got up. "You little bitch! Nobody hits Ren!" He yelled, punching her straight in the nose.
Kaya flew backwards and skidded against the brick ground. She picked herself up, blood dripping down from her nose. She spit out a mouthful of blood onto the bricks and ran towards Ren. She jerked left at the last minute and kicked, getting him straight in the ribs.
He flew into the tables and lay there for a few seconds before getting up. "Okay, so maybe I underestimated you. No matter. You're still going down!" He yelled, pulling two small daggers out of his leg. He charged her, and jumped up at the last minute. But Kaya was ready. She side-stepped to the right, and he flew into the ground, face first.
Kaya started to walk away, seeing as he had been down for a minute or two. Ren pulled a small bullet like seed out of his hair and flicked it towards Kaya. The seed hit Kaya in the back of the thigh and absorbed itself into the skin.
Kaya turned around as she felt something hit her and looked to see if she could find it. She found nothing so she continued on walking, towards her book bag. Just as she grabbed her cell phone from the bag to call Koenma, she felt a sharp pain shoot through her body and she fell to the ground, her head hitting the ground with a hard thud.
Ren smirked as he watching his Yokil Seed go to work. It would completely paralyze her body and kill her, leaving her an easy victim for him. He stood up and walked over to Kaya, standing above her as she jerked and drew gasping breaths. Blood was dripping down her nose and into her mouth. She coughed and a clot of blood flew onto the bricks next to her. She took one last shudder and one last gasping breath and quit moving all together. The seed had done its work.
A/N: Hope you guys like it! It took me super long to write it. So, review. I won't do another chapter unless I get reviews! P Ja ne!
